OTTAWA A motion
to exclude the media from
Michael Aaron Fays pro-
ceedings was denied
ThursdayafternoonbyJudge
Michael A. Borer. Fay is
the juvenile who has been
charged with the murders of
BlakeandBlaineRomes.
The motion was brought
forwardbytheteenslawyer,
William Kluge, his court-
appointedattorney.
Beforearguingthemotion
toexcludethemediaatfuture
hearings, Kluge made a
motion to exclude the media
at the current hearing. This
motion was denied almost
instantlybyJudgeBorer.
Speaking for Fay was
attorney Shannon McAlister
who brought forth claims
the media presence could
potentially taint prospective
jurors neutrality and bring
potential danger and harm
toFay.
It would be the argu-
ment of the movement party
here today that there is a
substantial basis to believe
that harm could come to the
allegeddelinquentchild,said
McAlister.PutnamCountyis
a small very close knit com-
munity. There is obviously
quite a of bit discussion as it
relatestothiscasealreadyand
tofurtherallowdissemination
at this point and allow access
of the media would further

OhioLegislaturepasses$62B,2-yearstatebudget
Associated Press
COLUMBUS A state
budget that cuts person-
al income taxes, revamps
Ohios school-funding sys-
tem and imposes new abor-
tion restrictions cleared
the state Legislature on
Thursday over the objections
of both Democrats and some
Republicans.
Next stop for the $62 bil-
lion, two-year spending blue-
printisthedeskofRepublican
Gov. John Kasich, who is
expected to sign it with
likelyline-itemvetoesbya
Sundaydeadline.
The Ohio Senate passed
the bill 21-11, with Sen. Kris
JordantheonlyGOPdefection.
In the Republican-dominated
Ohio House, the bill eked out
a 53-44 majority with seven
Republicansopposed.
House Finance Chairman
Ron Amstutz, a Wooster
Republican,saidhewasdisap-
pointed in all the disappoint-
mentinabillthatinvolvedso
much time and compromise.
He said the proposal would
helpfamiliesandOhioanswho
are aspiring to be in a better
place financially, make better
wages and live a higher qual-
ityoflife.
Thats why were here,
he said. Thats our purpose,
tomakeourstatestrongerthan
itwouldotherwisebe.
Republicans were particu-
larly proud of the $2.7 billion
in overall tax cuts delivered
overthreeyearsunderthebill,
includingaphasedinincome-
tax cut for individuals and
smallbusinesses.
The provision represents
a political victory for Kasich,
who made a campaign pledge
to cut income taxes and faces
re-electionnextyear.Itphases
in a 10-percent cut over three
yearsculminatingin2015.
The cut is partly paid for
by increasing the state sales
tax rate from 5.5 percent to
5.75percent.Thebillalsocalls
for applying the tax to digital
goods, such as e-books and
music downloads. Kasichs
earlier proposal to hike taxes
on oil and gas drilling was
excluded.
Democrats attacked the
thrustofthetaxchanges,say-
ing the income-tax cut would
disproportionately benefit
wealthier Ohioans while sales
tax changes would hurt those
strugglingtomakeendsmeet.
Rep. Mike Foley, a
Cleveland Democrat, said
the tax package was based on
greed and selfishness. He
said budgets are moral docu-
ments that reflect the princi-
plesandvaluesofasociety.
Based on the content of
this document, I believe that
wearefailing,hesaid.
Sen.BillSeitz,aCincinnati
Republican,saidwealthierres-
idents pay more taxes and
so naturally receive a bigger
shareofcuts.
Them that pays the most,

thats not an argument, thats

Senate President Keith
Faber took the rare step of
leaving his leaders perch to
defendthebill.

to everyone in this chamber
the comment that President
Obama made last year during
his campaign trail is just as

Today is Friday, June 28, the 179th day
of 2013. There are 186 days left in the year.
Todays Highlights in History:
On June 28, 1863, during the Civil War,
President Abraham Lincoln appointed Maj.
Gen. George G. Meade the new commander
of the Army of the Potomac, following the
resignation of Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker.
On this date:
In 1778, the Revolutionary War Battle
of Monmouth took place in New Jersey;
it was from this battle that the legend of
Molly Pitcher arose.
In 1836, the fourth president of the
United States, James Madison, died in
Montpelier, Va.
In 1838, Britains Queen Victoria was
crowned in Westminster Abbey.
In 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of
Austria and his wife, Sophie, were assas-
sinated in Sarajevo by Serb nationalist
Gavrilo Princip the event which sparked
World War I.
In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was
signed in France, ending the First World
War. In Independence, Mo., future presi-
dent Harry S. Truman married Elizabeth
Virginia Wallace.
In 1922, the Irish Civil War began
between rival nationalists over the Anglo-
Irish Treaty establishing the Irish Free
State. (The conflict lasted nearly a year,
resulting in defeat for anti-treaty forces.)
In 1939, Pan American Airways
began regular trans-Atlantic air service
with a flight that departed New York for
Marseilles, France.
In 1944, the Republican national con-
vention in Chicago nominated New York
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for president and
Ohio Gov. John W. Bricker for vice presi-
dent.
In 1950, North Korean forces captured
Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
In 1962, a jury in New York awarded
$3.5 million to former radio-TV personali-
ty John Henry Faulk in his libel suit against
the group AWARE Inc. and two individuals
whod accused him of Communist sym-
pathies and gotten him blacklisted. (The
judgment was reduced to $550,000 by an
appeals court.)
In 1978, the Supreme Court ordered the
University of California-Davis Medical
School to admit Allan Bakke, a white man
who argued hed been a victim of reverse
racial discrimination.
In 2000, seven months after he was cast
adrift in the Florida Straits, Elian Gonzalez
was returned to his native Cuba.
Ten years ago: After days of intense
searching by ground and air, U.S. forces
found the bodies of two soldiers missing
north of Baghdad, as the toll of American
dead since the start of war topped the grim
milestone of 200.
Five years ago: Presidential rivals John
McCain and Barack Obama vied for the
support of Hispanics in separate appear-
ances before the National Association of
Latino Elected and Appointed Officials
conference in Washington, with each vow-
ing to remake immigration policy. Jered
Weaver and Jose Arredondo of the Angels
combined to keep the Los Angeles Dodgers
hitless, but the Dodgers won 1-0. (The
Dodgers became the fifth team in modern
major league history to win without get-
ting a hit, but since they didnt have to bat
in the ninth, the game did not qualify as a
no-hitter.)
One year ago: Americas historic health
care overhaul narrowly survived, 5-4, an
election-year battle at the U.S. Supreme
Court with the improbable help of conser-
vative Chief Justice John Roberts. Attorney
General Eric Holder became the first sit-
ting Cabinet member held in contempt of
Congress, a rebuke pushed by Republicans
seeking to unearth the facts behind a
bungled gun-tracking operation known as
Fast and Furious. (The vote was 255-67,
with more than 100 Democrats boycot-
ting.) At Wimbledon, two-time champion
Rafael Nadal was overpowered in the sec-
ond round by Lukas Rosol, a Czech ranked

Gandolfini: A big man and
everyman is eulogized
NEW YORK (AP) The
funeral of James Gandolfini
took place in one of the larg-
est churches in the world and
didnt stint on ceremony.
Still, the estimated 1,500
mourners who gathered
Thursday in New Yorks
Cathedral Church of Saint
John the Divine seemed part
of an intimate affair. They
came to pay their respects to a
plain but complex man whose
sudden death eight days before
had left all of them feeling a
loss.
During the service,
Gandolfini was remem-
bered by the creator of The
Sopranos as an actor who had
brought a key element to mob
boss Tony Soprano: Tonys
inner child-like quality.
For a man who, in so many
ways, was an unrepentant
brute, that underlying purity
was what gave viewers per-
mission to love him.
You brought ALL of that
to it, said David Chase in
remarks he delivered as if an
open letter to his fallen friend
and Sopranos star.
Even though Gandolfini
was indisputably a formida-
ble man both on and off the
screen, Chase also saw him as
a boy sad, amazed, con-
fused and loving, he summed
up, addressing his subject:
You could see it in your eyes.
And thats why you are a great
actor.
Susan Aston, who for
decades was Gandolfinis dia-
logue coach and collaborator,
spoke of how he wrestled to
find truth in his performances.
He worked hard, she
said. He was disciplined. He
studied his roles and did his
homework. But then, when
the cameras rolled, his perfor-
mance took over and, through
an act of faith, he allowed
himself to go to an uncharted
place. He remained vulner-
able, and kept his heart open
in his life and in his work.
The 51-year-old actor died
of a heart attack last week
while vacationing with his
13-year-old son in Italy. It
was a cruel end to a holiday
meant to be part of a summer
that Gandolfini was devot-
ing to his family including
his son and his 9-month-old
daughter by even turning
down a movie role, accord-
ing to Aston, citing what she
said was her final conversa-
tion with him.
Aston said he told her I
dont want to lose any of the
time I have with Michael and
Lily this summer.
The actors widow,
Deborah Lin Gandolfini, also
spoke at the ceremony, as
did longtime friend Thomas
Richardson, who affection-
ately described Gandolfini as
a man who hugged too tight
and held too long. But now
facing a world without hugs
from Gandolfini, Richardson
invited the congregation to
stand and share hugs with
their neighbors.
Target cuts ties with Deen;
drugmaker distances
NEW YORK (AP) Paula Deens multimillion-dollar merchan-
dise and media empire continues to unravel following revelations that
she used racial slurs in the past.
Target Corp., Home Depot Inc. and diabetes drugmaker Novo
Nordisk on Thursday became the latest companies to distance them-
selves from the Southern celebrity chef.
Home Depot, which sold Paula Deen-branded cookware and
kitchen products only online, said it pulled the merchandise off its
website on Wednesday. And Target said that it will phase out its Paula
Deen-branded cookware and other items in stores and on its website.
Once the merchandise is sold out, we will not be replenishing
inventory, said Molly Snyder, a Target spokeswoman.
Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk said it and Deen have mutually agreed
to suspend our patient education activities for now. Deen, who special-
izes in Southern comfort food, had been promoting the companys drug
Victoza since last year when she announced she had Type 2 diabetes.
These are the latest blows dealt to Deen since comments she made
in a court deposition became public. Last week, the Food Network
said that it would not renew her contract. On Monday, pork pro-
ducer Smithfield Foods dropped her as a spokeswoman. Then, on
Wednesday, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the worlds biggest retailer, said it
too was cutting ties with Deen following a tearful Today show inter-
view in which she said shes not a racist.

Fort Brown bicentennial this Saturday
By NANCY WHITAKER
DHI Correspondent
FORT BROWN Fort Brown will be celebrat-
ing its bicentennial with a ceremony and the dedi-
cation of a cement bench on Saturday. The event
is being held to commemorate the days over 200
years ago when soldiers of the War of 1812 served
here under one flag.
Fort Brown has changed quite a bit in the last
few months as they prepared for the event. A split
rail fence has been put up along the Little Auglaize
by Boy Scout member, Tristan Knott, as part of his
Eagle Scout project.
The Oakwood Arbor of the Gleaners Life
Insurance Society has also helped with sprucing
up the area and the new bench, donated by The
Jacob Stemple Chapter Daughters of the War of
1812, will be set in place this week. The cement
bench was being made by Homiers Monumental
of Defiance.
Fort Brown is set on the banks of the conflu-
ence of the Auglaize and the Little Auglaize rivers.
The fort is still in a quiet, rural setting with both
rivers visible from the 1812 monument placed at
the site in 1953.
The program will begin at 10 a.m. with the
presentation of colors, followed by the invoca-
tion given by the pastor of the Melrose United
Methodist Church, Eileen Kochensparger.
The Pledge of Allegiance will be led by mem-
ber Charlene Hawk and the Americans Creed by
member Karen Bennett.
The Oakwood Community Band will play and
member Gloria Fast will give the welcome and
introduction.
Acknowledgments will be given by mem-
ber Helen Maddock, followed by the Laying of
Wreaths. Participating in the Laying of Wreaths
will be Jacob Stemple Chapter NSD 1812, Fort
Defiance Chapter DAR, General Horatio N. Curtis

COLUMBUS GROVE
An O-G grad and a quar-
tet will usher in the first
concert of the season at
Columbus Grove Memorial
Park Gazebo at 7 p.m.
Sunday.
The Alum Creek Singers
is an acoustical quartet that
has been playing in and
around the Columbus area
since 1996. Matt Strauss on
mandolin, Kris Chesser on
bass and Jeff Chesser on
banjo have been in the group
from the start, but a recent
addition is Andy Clingman
on guitar. All live in or near
Westerville, through which
Alum Creek flows. Banjo,
mandolin, guitar and upright
bass make up the instrumen-
tation, but it is their empha-
sis on beautiful four-part
harmonies that elevate them
to something worthy of your
attention, hence the name,
The Alum Creek Singers.
Stylistically, the group
leans towards folk, blue-
grass, country and gospel,
but its not unusual to hear
acoustical arrangements of
popular or even rock tunes.
No matter the song, once
their interpretation has been
applied, it becomes a musi-
cal treat.
Columbus Grove opens
concert season Sunday
Ohio Dems push to
bring GOP Medicaid
bill to vote
COLUMBUS (AP)
Democratic lawmak-
ers in Ohio began an effort
Thursday to try to call a vote
on a Republican-sponsored
bill to expand the Medicaid
program to cover thousands
more low-income residents
after attempts to add the pro-
posal to the states budget
repeatedly failed.
Legislators have sought
common ground on the issue
since the governors fellow
Republicans dropped from the
budget his proposal to extend
Medicaid eligibility.
The states Republican
House leader said work on
the issue would continue over
the summer. House Speaker
William Batchelder also left
open the idea of lawmakers
coming back in September to
vote on changes to the pro-
gram, but couldnt say wheth-
er any plan would include an
expansion.
House Democratic leader
Tracy Heard said Thursday
such a delay was unaccept-
able and showed a failure of
leadership.
PUTNAM COUNTY
Putnam County Hospice,
in conjunction with Trinity
United Methodist Church,
Putnam County Education
Service Center and Pathways
Counseling Center will be spon-
soring their Annual Good Grief
Fun Camp. Good Grief Fun
Camp will be held at Trinity
United Methodist Church from
9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 23, 24
and 25.
Good Grief Fun Camp is
open to any child in Putnam
County and the surrounding
counties who have experienced
loss by death. Good Grief Fun
Camp is designated for chil-
dren (ages 5 to 18) who have
experienced the death of a
loved one. This camp specifi-
cally addresses the needs of the
children. They learn how to
share concerns, questions and
feelings, and to talk about what
they feel as they grieve at their
own pace. Often times, children
can express their grief much
easier while playing a game or
using art. Children experience
grief just as much as adults do.
However, the way they expe-
rience grief varies with their
age and ability to understand
what it means that their loved
one has died. Even infants and
toddlers experience grief when
there is a death in the family.
Many children find it help-
ful to talk with someone they
trust about their feelings, fears
and questions that they may
have concerning the death of
their loved one. Children will
talk about their experience of
grief for a short period of time
and then return to play. It is
important to let them talk when
they need to and not to force
them. Children will talk when
they are ready. It is important
to let them know that they can
talk about what they are going
through. The children are eli-
gible to attend camp for up
to three years if they choose
to do so. This is to allow the
children to grieve at their own
pace according to their devel-
opmental abilities. Some of
the activities that the children
are involved in are group time,
horseback riding, swimming,
team building exercises and
arts and crafts. Each activity
is designed to facilitate discus-
sion on grieving about their
loved one. Children grieve in
doses and do not always want
to sit and talk about it. The
parents, children and members
of Putnam County have been
very receptive to Good Grief
Fun Camp and are very gener-
ous in giving to such a worth-
while cause. Following are
some comments from satisfied
parents and children regarding
their experience while attend-
ing Good Grief Fun Camp:
Thank you for creating such
a loving, accepting environ-
ment for children to discuss
their feelings and I liked
everything and had fun with
everything. I would not want to
change anything about it.
For more information
regarding camp, please contact
Julie Mason at Putnam County
HomeCare and Hospice.

That old Superman-as-Messiah question
Without a doubt, it is one of the most
famous incantations in all of American pop
culture.
Look, up in the sky!
Its a bird!
Its a plane!
The last line in this chant is, of course: Its
Superman!
However, whenever new material is added
to the Superman canon -- such as the movie
Man of Steel, which grossed $113 million
its first weekend -- some scribes and fanboys
will immediately start arguing about two other
symbolic identities that are often pinned on
their favorite superhero.
Visit most online Superman forums and
someone is going to say, Its Jesus! and
someone else will immediately respond, Its
Moses! and then back and forth itll go,
Jesus, Moses, Jesus, Moses, on and on,
said the Rev. Gary D. Robinson, of North Side
Christian Church in Xenia, Ohio.
The 58-year-old Robinson admits he is
a passionate participant in these kinds of
debates, both as author of the book Superman
on Earth: Reflections of a Fan and as the
owner of an inch-plus scar on his left arm
created by an attempt -- at age 6 -- to fly like
Superman through a glass window.
Like many theologically wired Superman
fans, he can quote the key facts, chapter and
verse. The pastor thinks the parallels are fun,
but shouldnt be taken too seriously.
I see the Superman myth as a shadow
thrown by the Light itself, he said, referring
to biblical accounts of the life of Jesus. In its
own way, its a crude substitute. ... But there is
no question that there is some kind of allegory
in there.
First of all, the future Superman was born
on the doomed planet Krypton into the House
of El and, in Hebrew, El -- from a root word
meaning strength and might -- is one name
for God. Then his father gave him the name
Kal-El, or in Superman lore, Son of El -- a
kind of science-fiction salute to names such as
Dani-el or Samu-el.
Then, his real parents saved their baby
from oppressors by casting him into time and
space, hoping he would be a source of hope
and protection for others. They used a rocket,
not a wicker basket, but its hard to miss the
links to Moses. It also helps to know that writ-
er Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster -- both
sons of Jewish refugees from Europe -- created
Superman in the tense 1930s, inspired in part
by anti-Semitism at home and abroad.
Experts in both camps offer lists of telling
details. Meanwhile, Man of Steel director
Zack Snyder has packed his film with iconic
images and symbolic facts. The film notes that
Clark Kent soars into his Superman role at
age 33, the same age that tradition says Jesus
began his public ministry. Told by the digital
ghost of his father, You can save them. You
can save all of them, Superman pauses in
space -- arms extended and legs together, as if
on a cross -- before racing to fight a demonic
figure who is threatening humanity.
In one audacious scene, Superman visits
his local church in Kansas while wrestling
with the question of whether he should will-
ingly surrender his own life in order to save
the world. Over his head is a stained-glass
window of Jesus praying in the Garden of
Gethsemane before his crucifixion.
The question, of course, is how seriously to
take this moody and humorless salute to The
Matrix, Avatar, The Dark Knight and
plenty of other video-game weight blockbust-
ers, with a few undeniable 9/11 images in the
mix. Popcorn and a (World)view columnist
Drew Zahn argued: Though I wont claim it
was written by an author the caliber of C.S.
Lewis, nonetheless, the metaphors and mes-
sages make Man of Steel a sort of Chronicles
of Narnia for an Avengers generation.
Robinson is convinced Superman and other
pop-culture myths are fine hooks for conversa-
tions about deeper issues and truths. But in the
end, how can ordinary women and men, strug-
gling with the pitfalls of daily life, be saved by
the likes of Superman?
Superman is a poor substitute for the
Gospel, he said. Superman offers himself to
save our lives. Jesus wants to save us forever,
for all of eternity. ... In the end, theres only
one real story and we keep trying to create new
variations on it.

Washington Journalism Center at the Council

gion and the news.)

owner of an inch-plus scar on his left arm
created by an attempt -- at age 6 -- to fly like
Superman through a glass window.
Like many theologically wired Superman
fans, he can quote the key facts, chapter and
verse. The pastor thinks the parallels are fun,
but shouldnt be taken too seriously.
I see the Superman myth as a shadow
thrown by the Light itself, he said, referring
to biblical accounts of the life of Jesus. In its
own way, its a crude substitute. ... But there is
no question that there is some kind of allegory
in there.
First of all, the future Superman was born
on the doomed planet Krypton into the House
of El and, in Hebrew, El -- from a root word
meaning strength and might -- is one name
for God. Then his father gave him the name
Kal-El, or in Superman lore, Son of El -- a
kind of science-fiction salute to names such as
Dani-el or Samu-el.
Then, his real parents saved their baby
from oppressors by casting him into time and
space, hoping he would be a source of hope
and protection for others. They used a rocket,
not a wicker basket, but its hard to miss the
links to Moses. It also helps to know that writ-
er Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster -- both
sons of Jewish refugees from Europe -- created
Superman in the tense 1930s, inspired in part
by anti-Semitism at home and abroad.
Experts in both camps offer lists of telling
details. Meanwhile, Man of Steel director
Zack Snyder has packed his film with iconic
images and symbolic facts. The film notes that
Clark Kent soars into his Superman role at
age 33, the same age that tradition says Jesus
began his public ministry. Told by the digital
ghost of his father, You can save them. You
can save all of them, Superman pauses in
space -- arms extended and legs together, as if
on a cross -- before racing to fight a demonic
figure who is threatening humanity.
In one audacious scene, Superman visits
his local church in Kansas while wrestling
with the question of whether he should will-
ingly surrender his own life in order to save
the world. Over his head is a stained-glass
window of Jesus praying in the Garden of
Gethsemane before his crucifixion.
The question, of course, is how seriously to
take this moody and humorless salute to The
Matrix, Avatar, The Dark Knight and
plenty of other video-game weight blockbust-
ers, with a few undeniable 9/11 images in the
mix. Popcorn and a (World)view columnist
Drew Zahn argued: Though I wont claim it
was written by an author the caliber of C.S.
Lewis, nonetheless, the metaphors and mes-
sages make Man of Steel a sort of Chronicles
of Narnia for an Avengers generation.
Robinson is convinced Superman and other
pop-culture myths are fine hooks for conversa-
tions about deeper issues and truths. But in the
end, how can ordinary women and men, strug-
gling with the pitfalls of daily life, be saved by
the likes of Superman?
Superman is a poor substitute for the
Gospel, he said. Superman offers himself to
save our lives. Jesus wants to save us forever,
for all of eternity. ... In the end, theres only
one real story and we keep trying to create new
variations on it.
(Terry Mattingly is the director of the
Washington Journalism Center at the Council
for Christian Colleges and Universities and
leads the GetReligion.org project to study reli-
gion and the news.)
Superman is a poor substi-
tute for the Gospel. Superman
offers himself to save our lives.
Jesus wants to save us for-
ever, for all of eternity. ... In
the end, theres only one real
story and we keep trying to
create new variations on it.

Simerman, offense carry Knights past Wildcats
BY JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
CONVOY Crestviews ACME team
rode the complete-game pitching effort of
Isaiah Simerman and a 13-hit offensive
attack to down Jefferson 6-2 on a sunny
Thursday afternoon at the Crestview Sports
Complex.
The game was originally slated for
Wildcat Field in Delphos but was moved
up three hours and to Convoy due to the
Knights being involved in a 7-on-7 football
drill. Jefferson was the home team on the
scoreboard.
Simerman tossed 96 pitches (55 for
strikes), ceding five hits and two runs (1
earned), walking two and fanning one.
The Knights went up 2-0 in the top of
the first against southpaw Ryan Bullinger.
With one down, Mitch Rickard (4-for-5)
singled but was cut down on a grounder by
Damian Helm (2-for-5). Helm stole second
and scored on a single to left by Simerman
(4-for-5). An error on a pickoff try allowed
Simerman to advance and he scored on a
2-out throwing error on a grounder hit by
Nate Owens for that 2-0 edge. A passed ball
moved him to third and Bryce Richardson
walked but both were stranded.
Crestview got a 2-out walk to Cam Etzler
in the second and he stole second. He went
no further.
Crestview loaded the bases in the third:
1-out infield single to short by Simerman and
a stolen base, a 2-out single by Richardson
and a free pass to Adrian Camp. However,
they became three of the 14 base-runners the
visitors stranded.
The Red and White reduced its deficit
by half in the home half. Bullinger got
the teams first hit with one down in the
inning on an infield single to third. Damien
Dudgeon bunted him up a base and Zavier
Buzard doubled to left center to get him
home.
The Knights went up 3-1 in the fourth.
With one down, Etzler grounded a single up
the gut. Rickard sliced a liner that hit off the
glove of diving shortstop Ross Thompson
and Helm hit a single up the gut that plated
Etzler. That finished Bullinger (for Adam
Rode). Simermans slow roller to short load-
ed the sacks but Rode retired the next two to
keep the damage to a run.
Jefferson had a chance in its half of the
inning. Thompson walked and advanced
on groundouts by Gage Mercer and Jordan
Herron. Tyler Rice walked but the next batter
flied out to end the threat.
Crestview made it 4-1 in the fifth. Camp
was safe on an error to lead it off and Brock
Rolsten sacrificed. An out later, Etzler was
intentionally walked. Rickard singled to
left center to get Camp in; an error on the
sequence put the runners at second and third
but they remained there.
Owens was safe on a 1-out error on a
fly ball in the sixth but was cut down on a
grounder by Richardson. He stole second
and got to third on a wild pitch but was left
stranded.
Josh Teman led off the home half with an
infield hit up the gut but was eliminated on
a groundout by Thompson. A 6-4-3 double
play ended the inning.
Crestview added two insurance runs in
the seventh. Rolsten lined a single to left. He
moved to third on a wild pitch and scored
on an error on the play. Two outs hence,
Rickard was safe on an infield hit wide of
first, advanced on a single to center by Helm
and scored on Simermans liner to right.
The Red and White fought to the end.
Kurt Wollenhaupt led off their half of the
seventh with a liner to left and an out later,
Tyler Talboom chopped a single to third; an
error allowed the runners to move up a base.
Rode flied out to left to plate Wollenhaupt
but the final out was recorded.
Jefferson visits Elida 6 p.m. today;
Crestview will play Van Wert today to finish
a postponed game and then play them again.

Van Wert summer BB team blasts Fort Jennings 11-1
By JIM COX
DHI Correspondent
VAN WERT - All nine Van Wert
hitters shared the wealth Thursday
night as the Cougar ACME squad
blasted Fort Jennings 11-1.
Van Wert is now 11-5. The
Musketeers are 0-10.
The Cougs scored at least one run
and had at least two hits in every inning.
Van Wert starter Jacob Braun
struggled with an arm issue but man-
aged a 1-2-3 top of the first.
The hosts took a 1-0 lead in the
bottom half on an infield single by
shortstop Justice Tussing, a sacrifice
bunt by third baseman Cody Keirns
and a single through the third/short
hole by centerfielder Brant Henry.
The Musketeers made a brief threat
in the top of the second. Third base-
man Alex Vetter led off with a flare
single to right center and rightfield-
er Jared Hoersten walked. Catcher
Sam Vetter plated Alex Vetter with
a single through the third/short hole.
With a 1-2 count on second baseman
Ryan Rau, the sore-armed Braun was
relieved by Ethan Williams, who
promptly retired Rau and the next
two batters, slamming the door for
good on the visitors. Williams then
allowed only one base-runner per
inning in the third, fourth and fifth.
Van Wert scored four unearned
runs in the second. Although
Musketeer starting lefty Dylan Van
Loo retired the first two batters, the
next five batters reached. Two left-
handed hitters: second baseman Joe
Lisa and catcher Ryan McCracken;
blooped singles to right. Although
McCracken was caught trying to
go to second on the throw to get
Tussing, the second throw was wild,
allowing McCracken to escape and
the inning to continue. Tussing then
walked, filling the bags. Keirns
blasted a triple to the right-center-
field gap, scoring Lisa, McCracken
and Tussing. Henrys shot to short
was then bobbled, plating Keirns and
making it 5-1 after two.
With Williams firmly in control
on the mound, that would be plenty.
The Cougs got another one in the
third on a single by first baseman

Crestview grad, NFL player Lichtensteiger
returns home for annual football camps
BY BRIAN BASSETT
DHI Correspondent
CONVOY - Though this
Saturdays Kory Lichtensteiger
Football Camps at the
Crestview Athletic Complex
arent the first the Crestview
grad and current Washington
Redskin has put on in his home-
town, they figure it to be the
best yet.
This year I think its amped
up about 1,000 times with the
quality of instruction given,
explained Lichtensteiger,
the starting left guard for the
Redskins who has returned
home for the annual Kory
Lichtensteiger Football Camps.
The camp will feature a
high school edition, for students
entering grades nine through
12, and a youth edition, for
campers entering grades three
through six.
This year were having
a high school camp from 9
a.m. to noon. Its going to be
focused on offensive positions,
and speed and agility training.
Were going to have a lot of
coaches there a lot of quali-
fied people, Lichtensteiger
said.
One of those qualified
instructors is Chad Englehart,
the Strength and Conditioning
Coach for the Washington
Redskins.
Chad is just ambitious, he
likes working with kids and
he likes doing these camps. I
just mentioned to him that I put
on a camp back here in Ohio
and he seemed interested,
Lichtensteiger recalled.
Hes never been to
Ohio, so I dont know if he
knows what to expect, joked
Lichtensteiger. The makeup of
Convoy and Van Wert is differ-
ent from Northern Virginia. I
think he will really like it. How
can you not like the people who
are in this town?
Englehart will be instructing
campers on aspects of the NFL
combine, as well as football-
specific speed and agility train-
ing.
University of Toledo head
football coach Matt Campbell
will also be in attendance, as well
as coaches from Bowling Green,
Lichtensteigers alma mater.
In total, eight college coach-
es will be at the camps, held on
the Crestview Knight football
field, along with current play-
ers from Ohio State, Bowling
Green, Toledo and Ball State.
A lot of the coaches (partic-
ipating) are my former coaches
who were at Bowling Green,
but went on to different places.
For them, I put a guilt trip on a
few of the, just saying Hey, I
would really like to have you
out, you would really be doing
me a solid, Lichtensteiger
said.
After that, doors opened for
other local coaches, explained
the Redskin guard.
Once I got a few of those
people, I decided to test my
luck even more and branch
out to try some local schools
like Defiance, Bluffton, Ohio
Northern, Heidelberg It was
kind of like you have this coach
who knows this coach. I just
kept calling people who I knew,
and they said you should ask
this guy to help, he would be
into it.
The same instructors will be
on hand during the youth camp
which runs directly after the
high school camp.
Weve got a youth camp
for grades three through six,
continued Lichtensteiger. That
will be from 1 to 3 p.m. It will
be the same (instructors). It will
be good for (the younger kids)
too, theyre going to be work-
ing on a lot of the same things
except on a low-key basis.
There will be more fun stuff
worked in.
The quality of instruction
this year is much welcomed for
Lichtensteiger, who is pleased
with the camps growth, now in
its third year.

NFL criminal cases put focus on vetting
By BARRY WILNER
Associated Press
Two felony charges in one day were more than
a bump in the NFLs offseason. They pointed to
an ongoing problem for the league players who
wind up at the center of criminal cases.
Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrest-
ed Wednesday in Massachusetts, accused of mur-
dering his friend Odin Lloyd. Also Wednesday,
Browns rookie linebacker Ausar Walcott was
charged with attempted murder in New Jersey.
Both players were cut later in the day by their
teams. On Thursday, the league said any club that
now wants to sign Hernandez will face a hearing
with Commissioner Roger Goodell first.
The question now is whether the veteran tight
end and the rookie should have been in the league
at all.
It is difficult, its always a balancing act,
says Tony Dungy, who won a Super Bowl as Colts
coach and has served as a mentor to players since
leaving the NFL, including Michael Vick after
the quarterback served federal prison time for
dogfighting. The league has a security depart-
ment that sends out information, and every team
is different in terms of how much its scouting
department does and what areas are concentrated
on most.
Its really a matter of what you do with the
information and what your organization feels is
important. One thing you have to keep in mind
is a lot of the (negative) things that happen come
when they are 15 or 17 or 19 years old.
According to FBI statistics cited by the league,
the incidence of NFL players getting arrested is
much lower than in the general public. The aver-
age annual arrest rate of NFL players is roughly
2 percent of about 3,000 players who go through
the league each year, including tryouts and mini-
camps. Thats about half the arrest rate of the
general U.S. population, the league says. The NFL
notes the disparity becomes even more dramatic
when the group is narrowed to American men
ages 20-34.
But Jeff Benedict, author of several books on
athletes and crimes, including Pros and Cons,
The Criminals Who Play In The NFL, believes
the FBI statistics are a bad gauge.
The danger of doing comparisons with the
general public is, if you look at these people and
their backgrounds, how many of those guys who
have been arrested in the FBI numbers have been
to college, make a lot of money like NFL play-
ers do and live in safe, good neighborhoods?
Benedict explains. The issue is why any of these
guys are doing this when they have all these good
things going on in their lives.
The San Diego Union-Tribune, which has
tracked NFL arrests more serious than speeding
tickets dating back to 2000, has listed 36 this
year, including Hernandez and Walcott and three
players who were charged twice.
By comparison, the NBA says six players of its
players have been arrested since last July 1 and
Major League Baseball says its aware of three
cases this year worse than a speeding ticket: two
DUIs and a misdemeanor drug charge.
While granting that NFL rosters are far bigger
than those in the NBA or MLB, Benedict says,
You cant take these tiny snap shots and say the
NFL is low.
Of course, even a few cases such as Hernandezs
or that of Jovan Belcher the Kansas City player
who shot his girlfriend to death last December,
then committed suicide in front of his coach and
general manager can create a widespread nega-
tive image.
And anyone who has suited up for an NFL team
will face extra public scrutiny for even minor
transgressions.
That, in turn, puts more pressure on the leagues
vetting process.
Dungy stresses that the amount of homework
teams do is critical because they dont get all that
much 1-on-1 time with prospective players. Some
clubs do psychological analyses, even hiring out-
side agencies to handle them. Though others like
the approach, Dungy is not a fan of it and always
believed in his gut feeling about a player.
You have to find out if they have grown from
the issues, or there seems to be a pattern, or will
these issues always be there, he says.
Bill Polian, who built the Bills, Panthers and
Colts into Super Bowl teams as one of the NFLs
most successful general managers and team presi-
dents, strongly maintains that the leagues vetting
process is solid. It delves into players histories
from high school and college before they enter
the league. Those investigations have become
more sophisticated through the years; background
checks include not only public records such as
court documents and arrest data, but talking to
teammates and coaches, high school principals
and other people who have been a part of a play-
ers life and development.
It uncovers a fair amount of information,
Polian says. It is not designed to uncover infor-
mation that is usable in court, but it is a process by
which the clubs try to ascertain a clear picture of
the individual that they are thinking about taking.
But theres no way of knowing how playing
football for a living will change a young man.
First of all, it is important to remember that no
team is immune from having a player run afoul of
the law, whether its a speeding ticket up to what
we have seen in the Hernandez and Belcher cases,
which are as serious as is possible to be, Polian
adds. Theres no magic wand a team can wave
and change that player who has had serious prob-
lems. Its no different than any other workplace in
America, just more publicized.
Benedict agrees that teams perform due dili-
gence on draft prospects and they know what they
are getting or avoiding in their draft rooms
when it comes to skills or 40-meter dash times or
health issues.
The hardest thing they deal with on draft day
is the character question, he says. That is what
keeps them up at night.
Former Broncos general manager Ted Sundquist
says the vetting process wasnt particularly thor-
ough for many of his years in the NFL he left
after the 2007 season but hes certain it is more
efficient now.
I think Michael Vick was the turning point on
the timeline, Sundquist says. He was right in
their backyard and they didnt know it was going
on, an example of a team that had not had a handle
on what players were doing.
Sundquist believes teams could get a better
handle on developing problems by hiring secu-
rity firms that are available around the clock to
keep watch on players already in the league, even
though the NFLs personal conduct policy is very
direct in saying it expects lawful, ethical and
responsible behavior.
Its better to have a system in place that can
monitor or check that guy, a security firm that is
part of these guys lives, not just vetting them, he
adds. They are tied to the hip with these guys. I
think that investment is well worth it.
Ultimately, if the public grows tired of player
misconduct, regardless of the low percentages, it
could become a huge problem for the NFL. And
it could change how the teams approach player
procurement.
As these issues become a much more public
situation in a business that relies upon the public
for its goodwill, Polian adds, you are more and
more concerned about taking chances on individu-
als no matter what the talent if they have
problems in their background.

Were excited about it. Its kind
of been on my mind for the past
few weeks, going back three or
four months to when we really
started planning for the thing,
said Lichtensteiger, who is aided
in the preparation of the camp by
many local family and friends -
including his brother, Luke.
Its going to be a great camp.
Its in our back yard and offers
great exposure and great instruc-
tion. Its different from a lot of
these other camps in the fact
that we have an NFL strength
coach who knows the tricks of the
trade, Lichtensteiger explained.
Lichtensteiger, who helped
anchor the NFLs leading rushing
attack a season ago, can espe-
cially appreciate the opportunity
this camp offers local kids.
In the past, I just did it
because I wanted to help out.
But this year, with the quality
(of instructors) that weve been
given. I was just thinking back
to when I was in high school.
To get recruited from a school
like Crestview of Van Wert, you
have to get in front of the coaches
before they really see you.
I know how hard it can be
to get on the radar, and I want
to provide an opportunity where
(kids) dont have to go to an
intimidating college campus (to
get noticed).
So far, it looks like many
kids will have that opportunity,
as Lichtensteiger explained that
more than 90 kids have pre-reg-
istered. Campers, so far, are com-
ing from as far as Findlay and
Indiana.
Were looking pretty good,
Lichtensteiger added. I would
think well be over 100 by the
time (Saturday rolls around).
The camp is open to all camp-
ers, regardless of school. The cost
of the high school camp is $6o
and the cost of the youth camp is
$30. Lichtensteiger explained that
walk-up registraion is welcome,
and urged anyone interested who
had not pre-registered to come out
Saturday.
The Redskin also explained
that the camp is open to the
public. There will be a conces-
sion stand open, and the staff
would love to see as many
spectators in the stands as pos-
sible.
Check it out, and see for
yourself what its all about, urged
Lichtensteiger.
Indians rally past Orioles 4-3
BALTIMORE (AP) Dealing with the powerful Baltimore
Orioles lineup was easy for Scott Kazmir compared to keeping
his aching back in working order.
Kazmir took a no-hitter into the seventh, and by the start
of the eighth inning he could pitch no longer. After he left,
Cleveland quickly fell behind.
Fortunately for the Indians, they scored two ninth-inning
runs off Jim Johnson to pull out a 4-3 victory Wednesday
night.
A leadoff double in the seventh by Manny Machado was
the only hit allowed by Kazmir, who gave up one unearned run
and one walk in seven innings. He came out to the mound for
the eighth but left with back spasms before throwing a pitch.
He was fighting them for probably three innings,
Cleveland manager Terry Francona said.
It was a tough way for Kazmir to end a night in which he
pitched magnificently.
Its something thats just more frustrating and irritating
than anything, the left-hander said. The start of the third
inning, it seemed like it started tightening up quite a bit. The
later innings it got a lot harder.
Kazmir was perfect for four innings and retired 18 of the
first 19 Baltimore batters. After Machado singled in the sev-
enth, a wild pickoff attempt by Kazmir preceded a sacrifice
fly by Chris Davis.
And then, in the eighth, he was gone. Baltimore promptly
scored twice against Joe Smith (4-0) to take a 3-2 lead, but the
Indians rallied against Johnson (2-6) in the ninth.
After Michael Brantley drew a leadoff walk, Jason Giambi
hit his 400th career double. An intentional walk loaded the
bases for Lonnie Chisenhall, who hit into a run-scoring
fielders choice. Drew Stubbs also hit into a fielders choice
to bring home pinch-runner Mike Aviles and chase Johnson.
I leave a ball up to Giambi on the next pitch after the four-
pitch walk, Johnson said. Now youve got second and third
and you have to walk the next guy. So you have bases loaded
and nobody out. It doesnt get much worse. At that point, Im
trying to limit the damage, Im trying to worry about each
individual pitch. I came real close to keeping it tied. But obvi-
ously I dug myself my own hole.
Vinnie Pestano worked the ninth for his fifth save.
This was one of those games where it wouldve been just
a killer loss and ends up being a great win, Francona said.
Jason Kipnis homered for the Indians, who improved to
2-34 when trailing after eight innings.
I was happy the way our offense came out versus
Johnson, Kipnis said. We knew it was his third day in a row;
he wasnt going to have his best stuff, hopefully.
In the Baltimore eighth, an infield hit by J.J. Hardy, a walk
to Chris Dickerson and a single by Alexi Casilla loaded the
bases with one out for Nick Markakis, who drove in a run
by hitting into a fielders choice. Machado then lined an RBI
single off the left-field wall for a 3-2 lead.
Johnson, who had given up only one run in his previous 14
appearances, couldnt make the margin stand up. It was his
fifth blown save.
Jimmys been solid for us, Orioles manager Buck
Showalter said. Hes a rock.
The start of the game was delayed 66 minutes by rain, and
both pitchers seized control from the outset. Jason Hammel
retired the first 10 batters he faced and Kazmir was perfect
through four innings.
Activated from the disabled list before the game, Clevelands
Asdrubal Cabrera became the first player to reach base when
he was hit by a pitch in the fourth. Kipnis followed with his
11th home run, the second in two nights, for a 2-0 lead.
Kazmir officially retired the first 13 batters before issuing
a four-pitch walk to Matt Wieters in the fifth, although replays
showed a sliding Machado beat out a fourth-inning grounder
despite being called out by first base umpire Will Little.
The Indians put runners at the corners with two outs in the
fifth before Hammel retired Michael Bourn on a grounder. In
the Cleveland seventh, Stubbs looked at a third strike with two
outs and runners on second and third.

Cavs take Bennett
with No. 1 pick in
NBA draft
NEW YORK (AP) Anthony
Bennett became the first Canadian
No. 1 overall pick, and Nerlens Noel
tumbled out of the top five and right
into a trade in a surprising start to an
unsettled NBA draft.
One of the favorites to be taken
first Thursday night, Noel fell to No.
6, where the New Orleans Pelicans
took him and then dealt his rights to
the Philadelphia 76ers for a pack-
age headlined by All-Star guard Jrue
Holiday, according to a person famil-
iar with the details.
The Cleveland Cavaliers started
things by passing on centers Noel and
Alex Len, who went to Phoenix at No.
5, in favor Bennett, the UNLV fresh-
man forward who starred for Canadas
junior national teams and was the
Mountain West Conference freshman
of the year.
Im just as surprised as anyone
else, Bennett said.
There was suspense right until
the end, either because the Cavs were
unsure who they wanted or were try-
ing to trade the pick. Most predic-
tions had them taking one of the big
men, with Noel largely considered the
favorite for the No. 1 choice even after
a torn ACL that ended his lone season
at Kentucky in February.
I thought everything was in the
air, so I wasnt thinking I was the No.
1 pick, Noel said.
David Stern, booed heavily in his
final draft as commissioner, added to
the surprise of the moment by pausing
slightly before announcing the Cavs
pick, their first at No. 1 since taking
All-Star Kyrie Irving in 2011.

Answer to Puzzle
Hydrogen peroxide is cheap
and has multiple uses. Combined
with baking soda and Dawn
dishwashing liquid, it makes
a great stain fighter for sweat
stains on T-shirts. Simply apply
1/2 teaspoon of Dawn on each
underarm section of the shirt, 2
tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide
on each side, sprinkle on some
baking soda and scrub with a
nylon scrub brush. Then launder
as usual.
The first reader tip shares more
ideas for hydrogen peroxide:
Hydrogen peroxide: Its not just
for streaking your hair anymore!
Im allergic to a lot of cleaning
products (ammonia and Pine-Sol
give me an instant sinus infection)
and I would get sinus and breathing
problems when I cleaned house. It
was always a major undertaking
to find products that didnt bother
me much. Hydrogen peroxide
has no odor, and it disinfects. I
started using it for quick bathroom
cleanups. Then I discovered that it
works great for cleaning glass and
mirrors. Next, I tried it on spots
on my carpet, and it worked great
(color-test first, but Ive never had
a problem with it taking color out).
I have spray bottles of it all over
the house now. Just spray some
on a stain on the carpet and let it
sit for a minute or two, then wipe
with a cloth. I spray my countertop
in the kitchen each day, and it not
only disinfects, it also puts a shine
on if you dry it well.
If you get stains on your teeth
from drinking coffee, you can
brush your teeth with hydrogen
peroxide. After a couple of times,
it gets rid of the stains. Some
people mix it with baking soda to
brush teeth. -- Celine, Missouri
Air freshener: Take a used dryer
sheet and put some essential oil/
candle fragrance, etc. on it. Place
it on your air/heating conditioner
filter. The house smells nice for
much cheaper than canned air
fresheners. When it fades, add
more oil, or replace it with a new
sheet if it has helped filter dust
and dirt. -- Krickit, email

Uses for hydrogen peroxide

Living
by Gary Clothier
A: Abraham Bram Stoker
(1847?1912) was an Irish
novelist and short-story writer
who is best known for his 1897
novel Dracula. As a child,
he was mostly bedridden
because of illness. By the
time he entered school, he had
fully recovered and became
an excellent athlete. He
graduated with honors from
Trinity College in Dublin.
In 1878, Stoker married
Florence Balcombe, whose
former suitor was Oscar
Wilde. The couple moved to
London, where Stoker became
involved with the Lyceum
Theatre. He later became its
business manager, a position
he held for nearly 30 years.
Along with his theater duties,
he was part of the literary
staff of the London Daily
Telegraph.
Stoker wrote other horror
novels besides Dracula, as
well as other fiction, including
The Snakes Pass in 1890.
He and his wife had one child,
a son. After suffering several
strokes, Stoker died at age 64.
Q: For many years I enjoyed
The Carol Burnett Show.
I especially enjoyed it when
Carol would introduce Lyle
Waggoner and then melt
when he came on stage. I
used to melt also. Then, all of
a sudden, there was no more
Lyle Waggoner. How long
was he on the show? Why did
he leave? -- Y.C.L., Holland,
Mich.
A: The Carol Burnett Show
aired on CBS from 1967 until
1978. Lyle Waggoner (1935- )
was with the show from the
beginning and remained until
1974, when he decided it was
time to move on and explore
other professional avenues.
He prepared himself for
his departure by becoming
involved in theater and other
TV shows during time off from
taping The Carol Burnett
Show. He also received
additional exposure as
Playgirl magazines first
seminude centerfold in 1973.
(Some sources say that
because of this, the producers
of The Carol Burnett Show
asked him to leave.)
In 1979, he created Star
Waggons to provide custom
location trailers exclusively to
the entertainment industry.

in need
of feedback
Dear Annie: Ive been
trying to write a novel for a
year. The problem is, I have
no support from my family.
My wife and friends always
groan when I ask them to
read what Ive written. Im
trying to be considerate of
their level of interest and
dont want them to be an-
noyed with me, but I need
some feedback on my writ-
ing.
That being
said, would you
know where I
could send my
pages for review?
Id like to know
if my story is in-
teresting the way
Im writing it, or
if I need to de-
velop it better.
Amateur Author
in El Paso, Texas
Dear Author:
There are various ways to
get your written material in
front of an audience. You
can ask writing teachers to
look at it. You can search for
a writers workshop or try
meetup.com for a writing
group that critiques mem-
bers work. You can self-
publish (you are responsible
for all costs), put it in a blog
or on an Internet site for free
(you will get myriad com-
ments, many worthless, and
youd better have a thick
skin), enter a writing con-
test, or submit a short ver-
sion to a magazine. You also
can go to the nearest library
and fnd a listing of literary
agents. An agent will help
get your book into the hands
of a reputable publisher or
reviewer. Getting published
is not easy, but if you have
talent and skill, it is pos-
sible.
Dear Annie: Our daugh-
ter was asked to be the maid
of honor at her friends
wedding. She was very ex-
cited about it. We planned a
small shower for her closest
friends and family. Now the
bride and her mother have
given us a list of 78 wom-
en to invite. I checked the
etiquette book and found no
encouragement for such a
large event. The 78 women
are also invited to the wed-
ding reception.
We simply cannot afford
such a large shower, and
the brides parents know
it. I do not understand how
they could expect us to han-
dle such a large event. Our
daughter doesnt want to
lose the brides friendship.
Should she bow out of the
wedding? Anxious Par-
ent
Dear Anxious: No bride
should demand such extrav-
agant favors. Your daughter
should tell her that she can-
not manage such a large af-
fair and ask that the guest
list be trimmed to 30 wom-
en or however many she can
afford to host. Your daugh-
ter could also ask the other
bridesmaids to host this
shower with her, providing
more resources and perhaps
accommodating a larger
guest list.
If the other bridesmaids
are not interested or if the
bride insists on 78 women,
your daughter should offer
to bow out of the wedding
party. We hope the
bride will then un-
derstand how un-
reasonable she is
being and back off.
Dear Annie:
Your answer to
Parents at Wits
End, whose bi-
polar son would
not take his meds,
exemplifes the di-
lemma posed by
mental illness in
this country, name-
ly that without the patients
cooperation matters may
quickly grow hopeless.
My wife had severe bi-
polar disorder. It was only
luck that kept her aggressive
driving from killing all of
us and enabled her to keep
her job. A friend urged me
to leave with my children,
but I knew my kids would
be devastated, and I worried
that my wife would kill her-
self.
My wife saw a doctor
who prescribed an antide-
pressant, but she did not
want a mood stabilizer. The
antidepressant by itself sent
her spiraling, as she knew it
would. The doctors nurse
later told me, We knew
something was wrong, but
she wouldnt talk about it
when she came in. Less
than a year later, my wife
committed suicide, breaking
all of our hearts.
If a bipolar person cannot
cooperate, the family can do
nothing but pray. Wiser

SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 2013
In the year ahead, you are
likely to have some wonderful
opportunities to assert yourself.
Dont allow yourself to stand timidly
on the sidelines, waiting for someone
to toss you a few bones.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
You should be able to weather any
financial problems if youre able to
manage your resources prudently.
Take care not to buy anything you
dont need, or youll go broke very
quickly.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Youre inclined to be too assertive
in your demands, so its important
to use moderation in your tactics.
Harshness will be counterproductive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Organize your time by delegating
certain assignments that youre
unable to handle on your own. The
more efficient the assistance you can
get, the better.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- This is one of those days when
youre likely to fare better doing
business with total strangers than
you will with your regular sources.
Broaden your horizons.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Its important that you manage
things effectively, or you could end
up losing ground. When you make
any gains, be sure to consolidate your
accomplishments.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- It would smart to walk
away from potential complications
that could quickly become
insurmountable. Solutions are likely
to be found through those who
oppose you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Be protective of your position,
especially when it comes to an
important joint endeavor. If there is
any trouble, it could be every person
for him- or herself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
To negotiate an effective agreement,
there must be parity between parties.
It wont stand the test of time if its a
good deal for you but not for anyone
else.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Dont delegate important tasks
to someone who might not be able
to perform up to your expectations.
Take the long view, and do things
right.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- In hopes of making a good
impression, you could be more
generous than you should or need be.
Its plain foolish to think that you can
buy your way to popularity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Domestic issues and demands
could be much heavier than youre
prepared to handle. Even if you do
more than is expected, youre not
likely to satisfy everyone.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Its best that you dont discuss your
plans before you have a chance to
implement them. If you cant live up
to your claims, youll end up feeling
like a failure.

Friend: Trayvon Martin
encounter racially charged
MIKE SCHNEIDER
Associated Press
SANFORD, Fla. George
Zimmermans defense attorney
insisted during several testy
exchanges with a important
prosecution witness Thursday
that Trayvon Martin injected
race into a confrontation with the
neighborhood watch volunteer
and insinuated the young woman
was not believable because of
inconsistencies in her story.
However, 19-year-old Rachel
Jeantel stood firm in her testimo-
ny about the night Zimmerman
shot the unarmed black 17-year-
old after a fight that Jeantel
said she overheard while on
the phone with Martin. Jeantel
has said Martin told her he was
being followed by a creepy-
ass cracker implying Martin
was being followed by a white
man because of his race.
Zimmerman identifies as
Hispanic. Race has permeated
nationwide discussions of the
case since the February 2012
shooting, which prompted
nationwide protests and claims
from critics that police took too
long to arrest Zimmerman.
The neighborhood watch vol-
unteer has pleaded not guilty and
says he acted in self-defense.
Defense attorney Don West
also zeroed in on slight differ-
ences among three different
accounts of what happened
before Martins killing, in an
apparent effort to discredit her.
Jeantel has described what she
heard over the phone in a deposi-
tion; a letter to Martins mother;
and an interview with the Martin
family attorney. Among the dif-
ferences highlighted by West:
In some accounts, she said
race was an issue but not in oth-
ers.
Jeantel testified
Wednesday that her friends last
words were Get off! Get off!
before Martins phone went
silent. But on Thursday, under
cross-examination, she conceded
that she hadnt mentioned that in
her account of what happened to
Martins mother, Sybrina Fulton.
She had left out some details to
spare Fultons feelings, and also
because neither Fulton nor the
Martin family attorney asked her
directly about them, Jeantel said.
Feds: Boston suspect downloaded bomb instructions
BY TOM HAYS
Associated Press
BOSTON Boston Marathon suspect Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev downloaded bomb-making instructions from an
al-Qaida magazine, gathered online material on Islamic jihad
and martyrdom, and later scrawled anti-American messages
inside the boat where he lay wounded, a federal indictment
charged Thursday.
The 30-count indictment contains the bombing charges,
punishable by the death penalty, that were brought in April
against the 19-year-old Tsarnaev, including use of a weapon
of mass destruction to kill.
It also contains many new charges covering the slaying
of an MIT police officer and the carjacking of a motorist
during the getaway attempt that left Tsarnaevs older brother,
Tamerlan, dead.
Tamerlan Tsarnaevs justice will be in the next world,
but for his brother, accountability will begin right here in the
district of Massachusetts, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel
Conley, whose jurisdiction includes Boston, said at a news
conference with federal prosecutors.
The indictment provides one of the most detailed public
explanations to date of the brothers alleged motive Islamic
extremism and the role the Internet may have played in
influencing them.
Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded by
the two pressure-cooker bombs that went off near the finish
line of the marathon on April 15.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured four days later, hiding in
a boat parked in a backyard in Watertown, Mass.
According to the indictment, he scrawled messages on the
inside of the vessel that said, among other things, The U.S.
Government is killing our innocent civilians, I cant stand to
see such evil go unpunished, and We Muslims are one body,
you hurt one you hurt us all.
The Tsarnaev brothers had roots in the turbulent Russian
regions of Dagestan and Chechnya, which have become
recruiting grounds for Muslim extremists. They had been liv-
ing in the U.S. about a decade.
But the indictment made no mention of any larger con-
spiracy beyond the brothers, and no reference to any direct
overseas contacts with extremists. Instead, the indictment
suggests the Internet played an important role in the suspects
radicalization.
Before the attack, according to the indictment, Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev downloaded onto his computer the summer 2010
issue of Inspire, an online English-language magazine pub-
lished by al-Qaida. The issue detailed how to make bombs
from pressure cookers, explosive powder extracted from
fireworks and lethal shrapnel.
He also downloaded extremist Muslim literature, includ-
ing Defense of the Muslim Lands, the First Obligation After
Imam, which advocates violence designed to terrorize the
perceived enemies of Islam, the indictment said.
Another tract downloaded included a foreword by Anwar
al-Awlaki, an American propagandist for al-Qaida who was
killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011.
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz of Massachusetts said
Attorney General Eric Holder will decide whether to pursue
the death penalty against Tsarnaev, who will be arraigned on
July 10.
The indictment assembled and confirmed details of the
case that have been widely reported over the past two months,
and added new pieces of information.
For example, it corroborated reports that Tamerlan
Tsarnaev bought 48 mortar shells from a Seabrook, N.H., fire-
works store. It also disclosed that he used the Internet to order
electronic components that could be used in making bombs.
The papers detail how the brothers then allegedly placed
knapsacks containing shrapnel-packed bombs near the finish
line of the 26.2-mile race.
The court papers also corroborated reports by authorities
that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev contributed to his brothers death by
accidentally running him over with a stolen vehicle during a
shootout and police chase.
The charges cover the slaying of Massachusetts Institute
of Technology police officer Sean Collier, who authorities
said was shot in the head at close range in his cruiser by the
Tsarnaevs, who tried to take his gun.
In addition, prosecutors said that during the carjacking, the
Tsarnaevs forced the motorist to turn over his ATM card and
his password, and Dzhokhar withdrew $800 from the mans
account.
At the same time the federal indictment was announced,
Massachusetts authorities brought a 15-count state indictment
against Dzhokhar over the MIT officers slaying and the
police shootout.
Immigration overhaul: Senate passes historic bill
BY ERICA WERNER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON With a solemnity reserved
for momentous occasions, the Senate passed his-
toric legislation Thursday offering the priceless
hope of citizenship to millions of immigrants
living illegally in Americas shadows. The bill
also promises a military-style effort to secure the
long-porous border with Mexico.
The bipartisan vote was 68-32 on a measure
that sits atop President Barack Obamas second-
term domestic agenda. Even so, the bills prospects
are highly uncertain in the Republican-controlled
House, where conservatives generally oppose
citizenship for immigrants living in the country
unlawfully.
Spectators in galleries that overlook the Senate
floor watched expectantly as senators voted one
by one from their desks. Some onlookers erupted
in chants of Yes, we can after Vice President Joe
Biden announced the bills passage.
After three weeks of debate, there was no doubt
about the outcome. Fourteen Republicans joined
all 52 Democrats and two independents to support
the bill.
In a written statement, Obama coupled praise
for the Senates action with a plea for resolve by
supporters as the House works on the issue. Now
is the time when opponents will try their hardest
to pull this bipartisan effort apart so they can stop
commonsense reform from becoming a reality. We
cannot let that happen, said the president, who
was traveling in Africa.
In the final hours of debate, members of the
so-called Gang of 8, the group that drafted the
measure, frequently spoke in personal terms while
extolling the bills virtues, rebutting its critics
and appealing to the House members who turn
comes next.
Do the right thing for America and for your
party, said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who said
his mother emigrated to the United States from
Cuba. Find common ground. Lean away from
the extremes. Opt for reason and govern with us.
Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake said those
seeking legal status after living in the United States
illegally must pass a background check, make
good on any tax liability and pay a fee and a fine.
There are other requirements before citizenship
can be obtained, he noted.
He, too, spoke from personal experience,
recalling time he spent as a youth working along-
side family members and undocumented migrant
labor, largely from Mexico, who worked harder
than we did under conditions much more difficult
than we endured.
Since then, he said, I have harbored a feel-
ing of admiration and respect for those who have
come to risk life and limb and sacrifice so much
to provide a better life for themselves and their
families.
The bills opponents were unrelenting, if out-
numbered.
We will admit dramatically more people
than we ever have in our countrys history at
a time when unemployment is high and the
Congressional Budget Office has told us that aver-
age wages will go down for 12 years, that gross
national product per capita will decline for 25-plus
years, that unemployment will go up, said Sen.
Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
The amnesty will occur, but the enforcement
is not going to occur, and the policies for future
immigration are not serving the national interest.
In the Senate, at least, the developments marked
an end to years of gridlock on immigration. The
shift began taking shape quickly after the 2012
presidential election, when numerous Republican
leaders concluded the party must show a more
welcoming face to Hispanic voters who had given
Obama more than 70 percent of their support.
Even so, division among Republicans was evi-
dent as potential 2016 presidential contenders split.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida was one of the Gang
of 8, while Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted
Cruz of Texas were opposed to the bill.
The legislations chief provisions includes
numerous steps to prevent future illegal immigra-
tion some added in a late compromise that
swelled Republican support for the bill and to
check on the legal status of job applicants already
living in the United States. At the same time, it
offers a 13-year path to citizenship to as many as
11 million immigrants now living in the country
unlawfully.
Under the deal brokered last week by
Republican Sens. John Hoeven of North Dakota
and Bob Corker of Tennessee and the Gang of 8,
the measure requires 20,000 new Border Patrol
agents, the completion of 700 miles of fencing and
deployment of an array of high-tech devices along
the U.S.-Mexico border.
Those living in the country illegally could gain
legal status while the border security plan was
being implemented, but would not be granted per-
manent resident green cards or citizenship.
A plan requiring businesses to check on the
legal status of prospective employees would be
phased in over four years.
Other provisions would expand the number
of visas available for highly skilled workers
relied upon by the technology industry. A sepa-
rate program would be established for lower-
skilled workers, and farm workers would be
admitted under a temporary program. In addi-
tion, the system of legal immigration that has
been in effect for decades would be changed,
making family ties less of a factor and elevat-
ing the importance of education, job skills and
relative youth.
With the details of the Senate bill well-known,
House Speaker John Boehner said at a news con-
ference the separate legislation the House consid-
ers will have majority support among Republicans.
He also said he hopes the bill will be bipartisan,
and he encouraged a group of four Democrats and
three Republicans trying to forge a compromise to
continue their efforts.
He offered no details on how a House bill could
be both bipartisan and supported by more than half
of his own rank and file, given that most of the
bills that have moved through the House Judiciary
Committee recently did so on party line votes over
the protests of Democrats. None envisions legal
status for immigrants now in the country illegally.
Boehner declined to say if there were circum-
stances under which he could support a pathway
to citizenship, but he made clear that securing the
border was a priority.
People have to have confidence that the bor-
der is secure before anything else is really going
to work. Otherwise, we repeat the mistakes of
1986, he said, referring to the last time Congress
overhauled the immigration system.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the House
Democratic leader, also said she favors a bipar-
tisan approach. At the same time, she noted that
Democratic principles for immigration include
secure our borders, protect our workers, unite
families, a path to legalization and now citizenship
for those without legal status.
Dehydration can occur when blood
sugars are elevated, Zalar detailed.
Diabetics should monitor blood sugar more
regularly when in the heat and drink plenty
of water.
Heat stroke is the most serious heat-
related illness and occurs when the body is
unable to control its temperature; the bodies
temperature rises rapidly, loses its ability to
sweat and it is unable to cool down. Human
body temperatures can rise to 106F or
higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Heat stroke
can cause death or permanent disability if
emergency treatment is not provided.
With overheating sometimes the body is
unable to cool off to lower the bodies core
temperature, Zalar said.
Signs of heat stroke include the following
warning signs: an extremely high body tem-
perature (above 103F); red, hot and dry skin
(no sweating); rapid, strong pulse; throbbing
headache; dizziness and nausea.
Heat exhaustion is a milder form of heat-
related illness that can develop after several
days of exposure to high temperatures and
inadequate or unbalanced replacement of
fluids.
Warning signs vary but may include the
following: heavy sweating; paleness; mus-
cle cramps; tiredness; weakness; dizziness;
headache; nausea or vomiting; fainting; the
skin may be cool and moist; the pulse rate
can be fast and weak; and breathing will be
fast and shallow.
To prevent heat-related illnesses, Zalar
recommends drinking plenty of water to
re-hydrate and to avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Wear cool, light-color, lightweight,
loose-fitting clothing, Zalar said adamantly.
Stay in the shade when possible and avoid
being outside in direct sun at the hottest part
of the day, usually between 1 to 4 p.m.
In addition, Zalar strongly recommends
people wear a hat, sunglasses and sun screen
while outside.
To help protect elderly relatives and
neighbors from heat-related illness, visit
older adults at risk at least twice a day and
watch for signs of heat exhaustion or heat
stroke. Encourage them to increase their
fluid intake by drinking cool, nonalcoholic
beverages regardless of their activity level.
Take them to air-conditioned locations if
they have transportation problems.
When dealing with any sign of severe
heat stress, it is considered a life-threatening
emergency. Have someone call for immedi-
ate medical assistance while getting the per-
son to a shady area and beginning the cool-
ing process. Cool the person rapidly, using
whatever methods available. For example,
immerse the person in a tub of cool water;
place the person in a cool shower; spray the
person with cool water from a garden hose;
sponge the person with cool water; or if the
humidity is low, wrap the person in a cool,
wet sheet and fan him or her vigorously.
Monitor body temperature and continue
cooling efforts until the body temperature
drops to 101102F.
If emergency medical personnel are
delayed, call the hospital emergency room
for further instructions.
The budget adjusts how Ohio calculates the states share of fund-
ing to public school districts and community schools, increasing the
amount schools receive per pupil to $5,745 in 2014 and $5,800, but
eliminates a 12.5 percent property-tax subsidy that the state had been
paying on new levies imposed by school districts, libraries and other
public entities.
Democrats registered their harshest criticism of the day at
Republicans failure to include an expansion of the Medicaid health
insurance program in the bill.
Sen. Capri Cafaro, a Hubbard Democrat, called the decision cow-
ardly, heartless and short-sighted.
I have to admit, you can probably tell, that I have never been so
angry, so appalled and so heartbroken by the actions of the General
Assembly, she said.
Cafaro appealed to Kasich to do whats right, follow your moral
compass, and veto the language in this budget that stops our state
from extending health coverage to hard-working Ohioans.
Among hundreds of provisions in the bill was a last-minute
amendment requiring Ohio doctors to inform women seeking abor-
tions in writing whether a fetal heartbeat is present. Abortion-rights
supporters were on the scene to protest the measure, with several
escorted out for shouting Shame on you, shame on you! after the
budget passed.
Rep. Terry Boose, a Norwalk Republican, said the bills 500-plus
pages were filled with way too many unrelated policy items.
Send us your numbers, but leave your policy out of it, he said.
We need to stand strong as a group and say the budget is the budget.
The budget is numbers. The budget isnt policy.
Democratic Rep. Nickie Antonio of Lakewood responded,
Brother, I agree, and proceeded to criticize provisions addressing
womens reproductive health.
McAlister cited that
the case has been covered
by the media in print or
online more than 36 times.
She claims that they have
caused speculation that
could harm Fay.
Todd Schroeder, the
assistant county prosecutor
who is handling the certi-
fication hearing, said his
office has decided not to
take a position on the attor-
neys motion.
Terrance Davis, who rep-
resented the media, includ-
ing The Putnam County
Sentinel, cited Fays coun-
cils lack of evidence as the
main cause to deny their
request.
They cant do it through
argument, speculation, con-
jecture, said Davis. They
have to do it through evi-
dence and they dont have
any.
Davis finished his case
by referencing past cases
with similar situations and
speaking on the importance
of transparency in order to
maintain fairness.
After hearing both sides
Judge Borer sided with
council for the media.
There has not been evi-
dence presented to the court
indicating that there is any
potential or actual harm to
Mr. Fay, said Judge Borer.
After the hearing, Davis
praised Judge Borers deci-
sion.
The judge came to
exactly the right conclu-
sion, said Davis. There
needs to be transparency
in the courts for trials such
as Mr. Fays trial so every-
body can have faith in the
system. Thats the only way
it works.
Fay, as well the victims
mother, was present in
court. Fay is being held in
the Wood County Juvenile
Detention Facility in
Bowling Green as Putnam
County does not have a
youth facility.
Fay is due back in
court on Tuesday, where
the decision will be made
whether to try him as an
adult. Attorneys will seek
to establish probable cause
at Tuesdays hearing in
juvenile court. State law
mandates that a 16- or
17-year-old be tried as an
adult if he or she is charged
with murder or aggravated
murder.
