Preliminary 14 Fay to be tried as adult budget shows in Ottawa murders $700K shortfall
BY ALEX WOODRING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com
By NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com OTTAWA The teen charged with the murders of Blake and Blaine Romes will be tried as an adult. Michael Aaron Fay, 17, appeared Tuesday before Putnam County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Borer, who granted the prosecutions request. The case will now head to the Putnam County Grand Jury before the end of July. The Grand Jury will consider additional charges such as an earlier charge of grand theft. Judge Borer also granted the prosecutions request that Fays bond be set at $5 million. Ultimately, the bond request was based on what I believe is necessary to protect the community, said Assistant County Prosecutor Todd Schroeder. Following the hearing,

DELPHOS Delphos City Council will face some tough decisions in the coming months after approving the preliminary 2014 Budget presented by Auditor Tom Jettinghoff, which includes $2.7 million in revenues to cover $3.4 million in expenditures. The preliminary budget must be filed with the county by July 15. Finance Committee Chair Joe Martz asked that city administration prepare the fund breakdowns in preparation for a committee meeting in early August. I dont think we can wait until Fall to start looking at this, Martz said. We need to start making a plan now on where to make up that $700,000. Quickly following the sober budget news were fund balances as of June 30 with the water account $79,000 in the red. We need to take a hard look at our expenditures versus revenue right now, Jettinghoff stressed. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist also had bad news about the wastewater treatment plant and failing membranes. Our plant is coming up on eight years old and the current condition of our membranes have reduced our capacity, Berquist said. Our membrane plates are not functioning as expected and need to be replaced before the warranty is up. See BUDGET, page 12

Putnam County regional water, sewer system all but certain

BY ALEX WOODRING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTAWA The likelihood of the county seeing a regional water and sewer system is all but certain. Last year, the Putnam County commissioners approved a resolution in support of a partnership agreement between the Village of Ottawa and the commissioners for a regional water and sanitary sewer. This was done in response to EPA regulations for water and sanitary sewer systems becoming more stringent and costly for villages. The county is in charge of sewer service for properties outside the Ottawas corporation. The sewer services are provided by the village. The push for a countywide water and sewer system, an idea talked about for multiple years, is in response to the Village of Ottawa serving three other villages and some unincorporated areas in the county with water and one other community and unincorporated areas with wastewater services. In hopes to cut costs, the village and commissioners started the push for a regional system. The regionalization process started about a year and half ago. Municipal Director Jack Williams wrote and was granted $100,000 for regional water and sewer in regards to a feasibility study. According to Williams, it is a matter of not if but when.

Prosecutors attack Zimmerman story several ways

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) A judge tossed out a detectives statement that he found George Zimmerman credible in his description of fighting with Trayvon Martin, a decision that benefits prosecutors who are trying to discredit the defendants self-defense claims. Other efforts by prosecutors to attack Zimmermans story on Tuesday included the cross examination of a friend he called after shooting Martin and the testimony of a doctor who found the defendants injuries to be insignificant. They also sought to introduce school records that indicate Zimmerman had studied the states self-defense law, in another swipe at his truthfulness. Prosecutors took the unusual step of trying to pick apart the statements of an investigator theyd called as a prosecution witness because some of what he said appeared to help the defense. Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asked the judge to strike Detective Chris Serinos statement that he thought Zimmerman was credible when he described how he got into a fight with Martin. Serino was the lead investigator on the case for the Sanford Police Department. De la Rionda argued the statement was improper because one witness isnt allowed to evaluate another witnesss credibility. Defense attorney Mark OMara argued that its Serinos job to decide whether Zimmerman was telling the truth. Judge Debra Nelson told jurors to disregard the statement. This is an improper comment, the judge said. Zimmerman has said he fatally shot the unarmed black 17-year-old in selfdefense in February of 2012 because Martin was banging his head into a concrete sidewalk. Zimmerman, 29, could get life in prison if convicted of seconddegree murder. He has pleaded not guilty. To earn a conviction on the charge, prosecutors must prove there was ill will, spite or a depraved mind by the defendant. The prosecutor also questioned Serino about his opinion that Zimmerman didnt display those negative emotions toward Martin. De la Rionda played back Zimmermans call to police to report the teen wailing through his gated community. Zimmerman uses an expletive, refers to punks and then says, These a-. They always get away. The detective conceded that Zimmermans choice of words could be interpreted as being spiteful. The state has argued that Zimmerman profiled Martin from his truck and called a police dispatch number before he and the teenager got into a fight. Zimmerman has denied the confrontation had anything to do with race, as Martins family and their supporters have claimed. Zimmermans father is white and his mother is Hispanic. Several moves by prosecutors Tuesday were aimed at showing inconsistencies in Zimmermans statements. Prosecutors asked the judge to allow them to introduce school records showing Zimmerman took a class that addressed Floridas self-defense law. They say it will show he had knowledge of the law, even though he

Today is Wednesday, July 3, the 184th day of 2013. There are 181 days left in the year. Todays Highlight in History: On July 3, 1863, the three-day Civil War Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania ended in a major victory for the North as Confederate troops failed to breach Union positions during an assault known as Picketts Charge. On this date: In 1775, Gen. George Washington took command of the Continental Army at Cambridge, Mass. In 1890, Idaho became the 43rd state of the Union. In 1898, the U.S. Navy defeated a Spanish fleet outside Santiago Bay in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. In 1913, during a 50th anniversary reunion at Gettysburg, Pa., Civil War veterans re-enacted Picketts Charge, which ended with embraces and handshakes between the former enemies. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt marked the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg by dedicating the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. In 1944, during World War II, Soviet forces recaptured Minsk. In 1950, the first carrier strikes of the Korean War took place as the USS Valley Forge and the HMS Triumph sent fighter planes against North Korean targets. In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle signed an agreement recognizing Algeria as an independent state after 132 years of French rule. In 1971, singer Jim Morrison of The Doors died in Paris at age 27. In 1988, the USS Vincennes shot down an Iran Air jetliner over the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 people aboard. In 1993, Hall of Fame pitcher Don Drysdale died in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, at age 56. Comedian Curly Joe DeRita, the sixth member of the Three Stooges, died in Woodland Hills, Calif., at age 83. Ten years ago: The U.S. put a $25 million bounty on Saddam Hussein, and $15 million apiece for his two sons. (The $30 million reward for Odai and Qusai Hussein went to a tipster whose

information led U.S. troops to their hideout, where the brothers were killed in a gunbattle.) Five years ago: The Pentagon announced it had extended the tour of 2,200 Marines in Afghanistan, after insisting for months the unit would come home on time. Venus and Serena Williams won in straight sets to set up their third all-sister Wimbledon final and seventh Grand Slam championship matchup. Larry Harmon, who turned Bozo the Clown into a show business staple, died in Los Angeles at age 83. One year ago: A federal judge in Amarillo, Texas, found Clayton F. Osbon, a JetBlue Airways pilot whod left the cockpit during a flight and screamed about religion and terrorists, not guilty by reason of insanity of interfering with a flight crew. Andy Griffith, 86, who made homespun American Southern wisdom his trademark as the wise sheriff in The Andy Griffith Show, died at his North Carolina home. Todays Birthdays: Actor Tim OConnor is 86. Jazz musician Pete Fountain is 83. Playwright Tom Stoppard is 76. Writerproducer Jay Tarses is 74. Attorney Gloria Allred is 72. Folk singer Judith Durham (The Seekers) is 70.

Actress Yeardley Smith is 49. Singer Ishmael Butler is 44. Rock musician Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies) is 44. Actress-singer Shawnee Smith is 44. Actress-singer Audra McDonald is 43.

Actor Grant Rosenmeyer is 22. Actress Kelsey Batelaan is 18. claimed he didnt in an interview with talk show host Sean Hannity. The interview was played for jurors. OMara objected, saying the records were irrelevant. He referred to the prosecutions efforts to introduce them as a witch hunt. The judge said she would rule later in the week. Late in the morning the prosecution questioned Mark Osterman, a friend who spoke with Zimmerman after the shooting. Under questioning by de la Rionda, Osterman said that Zimmerman told him Martin had grabbed his gun during their struggle, but that Zimmerman was able to pull it away. That account is different from what Zimmerman told investigators in multiple interviews. In those interviews, he only said it appeared Martin was reaching for his gun prior to the shooting. He never told police the teen grabbed it. I thought he had said he grabbed the gun, Osterman said. I believe he said he grabbed the gun. A Sanford Police Department fingerprint examiner testified that none of Martins prints were found on the gun. Prosecutors also called a medical examiner who had reviewed evidence for them to the witness stand. Dr. Valerie Rao testified that Zimmermans injuries were insignificant, bolstering the prosecutions claims that Zimmermans life wasnt in jeopardy during his fight with Martin. Rao was not the medical examiner who autopsied Martin. They were so minor that the individual who treated and examined Mr. Zimmerman decided stitches werent required, Rao said.

Regina A. Schimmoeller, 85, of Fort Jennings, died at 11:57 p.m. Monday at Vancrest Healthcare Center of Delphos surrounded by her family.

First Assembly of God hosts H.I.S. Home bikers

When pigs fly at the Rib Fest

Information submitted VAN WERT For the second consecutive year, pigs will be falling from the sky at the seventh annual Van Wert Rib Fest. Plastic pigs, that is, will be dropped over a designated area at the Rib Fest by the United Way of Van Wert County. This event will help support many area organizations aided by the United Way. Pigs may be purchased from any United Way Board member for $10. Pigs may also be purchased at the Fountain Park Summer Concerts. Only a limited number of pigs will be sold. The pig that falls closest to the marked pig pen will win $650 for its owner. The pig landing second-closest to the pig pen will earn $350 and the poor pig that lands the farthest away from the pen will earn $250 for its owner. For more information about this event, call the United Way office at (419) 238-6689 or the Van Wert Area Convention and Visitors Bureau at (419) 238-9378. For more information about all of the events and entertainment going on at this years Rib Fest visit their website at www.vanwertribfest.com

For the third consecutive year, Delphos First Assembly of God recently hosted the H.I.S. Home Bikers for a Friday evening dinner and a place to clean up and rest. The church also provided breakfast and joined the bikers for morning devotions before the group left for the last leg of their journey of love. Four years ago, Geoff and Judy Van Berkel organized the annual 300-mile bike ride aimed at raising money to help H.I.S. Home, a 125-child home located in Port Au Prince, Haiti. During the 300-mile trek, the bicyclists cover upwards of 50 miles or more each day and stop at churches along the route for a place to stay and meals. The route requires the use of back roads, given the groups size, and volunteers trail the bikers with a van carrying supplies, water and the like. The journey begins in Rockford, Mich., and ends in Harrod, where the families of dozens of adopted Haitian children meet for fellowship and more. The Van Berkels have adopted two girls, Daphna and Gracie, from the Haiti orphanage and are in the process of adopting two more children from there. (Submitted photo)

BY LOVINA EICHER We are having thunderstorms most of the evening. Our rain gauge shows like we have over two inches of rain already. I do think we have more because the wind is blowing the rain so it might not be quite the accurate amount going in. We also had a thunderstorm last night and received a half inch of rain. We were in need of rain so we decided to water the garden. I told the boys maybe if we water the garden we will get rain. The rain clouds all seemed to go over us but soon after the garden was watered, the rain and storms arrived. My husband Joe and sons Benjamin and Joseph spent the day fishing on the nearby lake on Saturday. They came home with around 50 bluegill, perch and crappies. Tonight, we fried the fish for our supper along with hash browns and potatoes, cheese, ice cream and strawberries. Today on our to do list was to mop the floors, make strawberry freezer jam and weed the garden. Seemed we were done early. When all the children pitch in to help the work goes faster. Its nice

to be done early and have a long, relaxing evening. Corn detasseling should be starting sometime after the Fourth of July. Next week, Joe and daughter Elizabeth both have the week off for their annual vacation. Im sure that week will go way too fast for them. So far we dont have any special plans for the week. On Monday, July 1, daughter Loretta will be 13. Wow! Our fifth teenager in the house. We as parents sure cannot complain though. They are all good children and we pray God will always be their guide through life. Son Benjamin will be 14 on July 14 and son Joseph will be 11 on July 24. Then Joe and I will have our 20th anniversary on July 15. The month of July always brings cake and ice cream Sister Emma will be 40 on July 19 and her youngest son Steven will be 6 in July. One year after another passes by and all at once we stop to think: where has all the time has gone?

Son Kevin, 7, is so excited about his cousin Steven coming for the night. He has all kinds of plans on what they can do. This is now Wednesday morning. We received another inch of rain through the night making a total of 3 1/2 inches of rain this week so far. The wind blew my sweet corn over. Im hoping it will stand back up.

Wildcats ride 2-hitter from Herron, Teman to whitewash Jays

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The 2013 ACME Congress Summer Baseball tournament (Van Wert County) got underway Tuesday in Delphos (postponed from Monday) at Wildcat Field and Stadium Park. Before the rains hit just before 6 p.m., the Wildcats had ridden the combined 2-hitter of Jordan Herron and an 11-hit attack to bounce the Blue Jays 10-0 in five innings. Herron (4 innings, 2 hits; 60 pitches, 41 strikes) sent down the Jays 1-2-3 in the first two frames. Jefferson got rolling with three tallies in the bottom of the first against Jays starter Ben Wrasman. Josh Teman (2 walks, 2 runs) walked to get it started, stole second (one of 12 by the team), went to third on Jace Stockwells sacrifice and scored on Ross Thompsons (2-for-3, 2 runs) triple to right. In turn, Thompson scored on Zavier Buzards infield hit to the hole at short. He stole a pair of bases and scored on Austin Jettinghoffs blooper to right. In turn, he stole second and advanced to third on a bounceout by Herron but couldnt score. Jefferson made it 5-0 in the second. With an out, Gage Mercer (2-for-2, 2 runs) singled up the gut, burgled second and touched the dish courtesy of a 2-out single to right by Stockwell. Thompson singled up the gut, sending Stockwell toward third; an error on the play allowed him to score and put the batter at second. He was caught stealing third to end the inning at 5-0, Jefferson. The Jays had their first real threat in the top of the third. With two outs, J.R. Keirns singled to right, followed by a free

The Red and White made it 9-0 in the fourth. Jake Pulford singled to right center and pinch-runner Adam Rode stole second. He went to third on a bunt single by Mercer and the latter stole second. Back-to-back wild pitches scored both. Teman walked and stole second and third. An out later, Thompson was safe on a fielders choice and quickly swiped second. Buzard (2-for3, 3 RBIs) knocked both of them in with a slice to right but he was doubled-up on a pop-up by Jettinghoff on an ensuing rundown. The Jays had their final chance in the fifth against Wildcat reliever Teman. Brandon Slate walked but Chad Etgen bounced into a 6-4-3 double play and the final out was record. Jays reliever Slate got the first two outs of the fifth but Tyler Rice singled and stole second. Mercer walked and when Temans fly ball to the outfield was dropped, Rice scored to end the game. Shortly after the completion of the game, the skies opened up and forced postponement of the nightcap between Jefferson and top-seeded Crestview to be postponed to today at a site and time to be determined.

Cougars top Lancers 8-2 in rain-shortened tourney opener

By JIM COX DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS - Cougar bats blasted a homer and three doubles in Tuesdays rain-shortened Van Wert County ACME Tournament opener, resulting in a decisive 8-2 win over Lincolnview at Stadium Park in Delphos. The game was called after 5 1/2 innings because of rain and lightning, thus erasing the top of the sixth inning, during which Van Wert, the visiting team, had added a ninth run. The win advances the Cougs in the winners bracket, with their next opponent and time to be determined. The Lancers drop to the losers bracket. Lancer starter Eli Farmer cruised through the top of the first inning 1-2-3 without a ball leaving the infield. Lincolnview threatened Cougar lefty Brandt Henry in the bottom half. Henry plunked the leadoff hitter, shortstop Kyle Williams, and Farmer bunted Williams over to second. Centerfielder Jalen Roberts smoked a liner that third baseman Jacob Braun snow-coned for the second out. Williams then went to third on a wild pitch but a strikeout ended that threat. The Van Wert bats came to life in the second. Centerfielder Tyler Williams led off with a single through the third/short hole. After two infield pop-outs, Braun hit a rope down the left-field line and over the fence to make it 2-0. While Henry was breezing through the second and third, Van Wert was adding three-spots in each of those innings. Leftfielder Jacob Williamson started the third with a walk, then stole second. Farmer struck out the next batter but second baseman Joe Lisa poked a line single to center, plating Williamson, and went to second on a wild pitch. Henry ripped a double into the gap in left center, bringing in Lisa. Henry advanced to third on a groundout, then scored when first baseman Kevin Agler bounced an infield single up the middle 5-0, Van Wert, after 2 1/2. Farmer plunked Braun to start the Cougar fourth. Rightfielder Brian Mills bounced an infield single into the third/short hole and, after

Righty Ethan Williams replaced Henry on the mound to start the bottom of the fourth and things got a bit dicey for Van Wert. Williams walked two batters in that inning but escaped without giving up a run. Lincolnview shortstop Kyle Williams traded positions with Farmer to start the top of the fifth and didnt yield a run, although the Cougs threatened via a bloop single by Braun and a frozen-rope double down the left-field line by Ethan Williams. Williams struggled mightily in the bottom of the fifth, hitting a batter, walking two and yielding one hit a single by rightfielder Dalton Schmersal. Van Wert still led 8-2, however, and thats when the game officially ended. Henry had a big game on the mound and at the plate. In his three innings on the hill, he blanked the Lancers on two hits, both infield dribblers, while striking out two, walking nobody and hitting one batter. He was efficient, too, throwing only 36 pitches, of which 27 were strikes. At the plate, he went 2-for-3, both doubles, while scoring a run and driving in three. Lisa (2-for-3, 1 run, 2 RBIs) and Braun (2-for-2,

Baileys 2nd no-hitter sends Reds over Giants 3-0

By JOE KAY Associated Press CINCINNATI Homer Bailey threw his second no-hitter in 10 months and the first in the majors this season, pitching the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-0 victory over the slumping San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. Bailey (5-6) became the third Reds pitcher with more than one no-hitter, joining Jim Maloney and Johnny Vander Meer still the only big-leaguer to toss two in a row. Bailey beat the Pirates 1-0 in Pittsburgh last Sept. 28 and got another 17 starts later. Every dog has its day twice, I guess, Bailey said. It felt good to do it front of the Cincinnati fans. The last pitcher to throw one no-hitter and then another before anyone else in the majors accomplished the feat was Hall-ofFamer Nolan Ryan, according to STATS. Baseballs career strikeout king did it for the California Angels on Sept. 28, 1974, against Minnesota, and June 1, 1975, vs. Associated Press Baltimore. Bailey grew up in Texas, just like Ryan, and wears No. 34 in tribute to his boyhood idol. Justin Verlander, Mark Buehrle and Roy Halladay are the only other active pitchers with a pair of no-hitters. Halladay, of course, threw one of his in the postseason. Bailey walked Gregor Blanco leading off the seventh, the only Giants batter to reach base. First baseman Joey Votto alertly threw out Blanco as he tried to advance from second to third on a soft onehopper that otherwise could have become an infield single for Buster Posey. With 27,509 fans on their feet chanting Homer! Homer! Bailey finished it off in the ninth. He jumped to glove Brandon Crawfords high comebacker, struck out Tony Abreu and retired Blanco on a grounder to third baseman Todd Frazier. Going into the eighth and ninth I just said, Why the hell not? Here we go again, Bailey added. When Votto caught the throw for the final out, Bailey raised both arms in tri-

Bailey umph, reminiscent of that grand moment in Pittsburgh last September, then hugged catcher Ryan Hanigan. Teammates poured onto the field to celebrate and doused Bailey with a red sports

Inbee Park: 1 more leg for Grand Slam, or is it 2?

The good news for LPGA Tour commissioner Mike Whan is that his sport is dominating the golf conversation, which is rare. For the last two days, it seems like every time Whan turns on TV is he hearing about Inbee Park; thats how it should be. When she completed a masterful week of putting and precision at Sebonack Golf Club, the 24-year-old South Korean had won the U.S. Womens Open for her third straight major this year. Next up is a chance for Park to do what no golfer has done in the history of the royal and ancient game win four professional majors in a single season. Adding to the moment is the venue the Womens British Open will be at St. Andrews, the home of golf. Any other year, the golf world would be buzzing over the prospect of a Grand Slam. But not this one. Because for such an historic occasion, there is way too much confusion. It was Whan who decided for noble reasons in 2010 to elevate The Evian Championship in France to major championship status starting in 2013, giving the LPGA Tour five majors for the first time in its 63-year history. Just his luck, it turned out to be the year one of his players had a shot at the Grand Slam. Except that winning four majors is not really a Grand Slam when there are five on the schedule. Is it? If you would have asked me as a golf nut about five majors, I would have said, It doesnt feel right to me, Whan recalled Tuesday morning. Then you become commissioner of the LPGA Tour. Do you or dont you? If you dont your job here is to grow the opportunities for women in the game worldwide. We dont get the exposure anywhere near the mens game except for three or four times a year and those are around the majors. Jump forward to 2013. The fact I can turn on the TV every night and the discussion is on the LPGA and five majors and what does this mean the world views this as frustrating. In my own silly world, this is the most attention weve had in a long time. Golf always has been about four majors; at least it seems that way. It dates to 1930 when Bobby Jones swept the biggest championships of his era the British Open, British Amateur, U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur. George Trevor of the New York Sun referred to this feat as the impregnable quadrilateral of golf, while O.B. Keeler of the Atlanta Journal gave it a name that didnt require a stiff upper lip. He called it a Grand Slam, a term from contract bridge that meant winning all 13 tricks. The spirit of that term is a clean sweep, whether its four, five or 13. Arnold Palmer gets credit for creating the modern version of the Grand Slam in 1960 when he won the Masters and U.S. Open and was on his way to play the British Open for the first time. He was traveling with Pittsburgh sports writer Bob Drum, who was lamenting that professional golf had led to the demise of what Jones had achieved in 1930. Thats when Palmer suggested a new Grand Slam by winning the four professional majors. Comparisons between mens and womens golf are never easy, especially in the majors. The PGA Tour and European Tour dont own any of the four majors that its players have made famous. The press never bought into the notion of making The Players Championship a fifth major. It was Thomas Bonk of The Los Angeles Times who once wrote that there were Three Stooges, Twelve Days of Christmas, Seven Dwarfs and four major championships. Enough said. The LPGA Tour now has eight majors in its official history. Babe

No major champions in womens semis at Wimbledon

By HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press LONDON Trailing 5-4 in her first Wimbledon quarterfinal, Sloane Stephens already had saved two set points and was about to serve at deuce when a fairly nondescript match became anything but. Raindrops were falling and Stephens opponent, 2007 runner-up Marion Bartoli, was trying to persuade a tournament official the Court 1 grass was dangerously slick. Spectators were booing and derisively whistling, angry at the prospect of play being suspended. Eventually, Bartoli got her way; they stopped. The court was covered. For the ensuing 2 1/2 hours, no points were played. When they returned, Stephens the last U.S. singles player at the All England Club this year was completely out of sorts. Soon, she was out of the field, dropping a hard-to-believe 19 of her first 20 service points after the rain delay and losing 6-4, 7-5 Tuesday to Frances Bartoli, one member of an altogether surprising semifinal quartet. The initial point when play resumed ended with Stephens pushing a backhand long, giving Bartoli her third set point. The next lasted 27 strokes, with Bartoli hitting a drop shot and Stephens responding with a forehand that caught the net tape and bounced wide. Just like that, the opening set was gone. Stephens, a 20-year-old based in Coral Springs, Fla., never recovered. After Bartoli went up 1-0 in the second set, part of a 10-point run, fans jeered her and she put her hands near her ears. The 15th-seeded Bartoli who grips her racket with two hands off both wings, like her idol, Monica Seles is seeking her first

Zaharias is the last player to win three straight majors on the calendar but that was in 1950 when thats all there were. There was a 5-year stretch in the 1970s when there were only two. And now there are five? Womens golf is not as steeped in tradition. More importantly, its pockets have never been very deep. Thats why the LPGA Championship, which dates to 1955, essentially took over what had been a regular tour event in Rochester, N.Y. Tradition is the Kraft Nabisco, the only major played on the same course (Rancho Mirage) where the winner jumps into the pond. Montgomerie misses out on British Open GULLANE, Scotland Colin Montgomeries rushed journey to take place in British Open qualifying on Tuesday was all in vain. The Scottish veteran failed to make the field for the major after struggling in wet conditions. Montgomerie drove from Pittsburgh, where he finished ninth on Sunday in the Senior Players Championship, to New Jersey, then caught a flight home to Scotland arriving Monday. After a few hours of rest, he teed up Tuesday at the Gullane No. 1 course, east of Edinburgh, in the hope of securing one of three spots in golfs oldest major, which starts July 18 at nearby Muirfield. Montgomerie was tied for second after opening with a 69 in the morning but then got caught up in the slow play in the afternoon to shoot 76. Montgomerie will now take a week off and return to the United States next week for the U.S. Senior Open in Omaha, Neb. Australias John Wade shot a Dunbar course-record 7-under-par 63 to qualify, while Scotlands Lloyd Saltman also qualified for his third British Open. Saltman, the leading amateur in the 2010 event at St. Andrews, lives close to Muirfield. Others who qualified were Scotlands Grant Forrest, Gareth Wright and George Murray; Indias Shiv Kapur; Swedens Oscar Floren; and five Englishmen: Jimmy Mullen, Steven Tiley, Tyrrell Hatton, Ben Stow and Matthew Fitzpatrick. Els confirms hell play Scottish Open INVERNESS, Scotland Ernie Els will test his links game before defending the British Open title by playing in the Scottish Open, the traditional warm-up event for golfs oldest major. The 43-year-old South African has very fond memories of my two wins in the Scottish Open and if I can win it a third time next week, it would be the perfect platform for my defense of The Open. The British Open will be staged in Scotland at Muirfield from July 18-21. Tiger Woods keeps his December tournament The World Challenge that Tiger Woods has hosted every holiday season since 1999 means so much to him that he spent what was believed to be about $4 million of his own money to help cover operating costs in a year it did not have a full title sponsor. The future of the event is no longer in doubt. The World Challenge is back on the schedule this year. There wasnt a doubt whether we could stage it. The question was whether we could get the necessary corporate support, said Greg McLaughlin, the president of the Tiger Woods Foundation who also runs his tournaments. Were happy that we have a lot of support for the event that weve been able to generate the last few months. The tournament is scheduled for Dec. 5-8 at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif., where it has been since 2001. Graeme McDowell is the defending champion. The Challenge is one of three tournaments this year that benefit the Foundation. The others are the AT&T National, which has one more year on its contract, and the Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston. The foundation has taken over operations of that event from IMG.

drink. It was the 16th no-hitter in Cincinnati history. No Reds pitcher had thrown a no-no at home since Tom Brownings 1-0 perfect game against the Dodgers at Riverfront Stadium on Sept. 16, 1988. Bailey became the third pitcher in the history of baseballs first professional franchise to get more than one. Vander Meer threw the only back-toback no-hitters in major-league history in 1938, beating Boston and Brooklyn. Maloney had a no-hitter at Wrigley Field in 1965 and one at home against Houston in 1969. Shin-Soo Choo hit Lincecums fifth pitch deep to right. Hunter Pence jumped above the wall and had the ball deflect off the heel of his glove back into play. The umpires initially ruled it a home run but overturned the call after a review and gave Choo a double. He eventually scored on Joey Vottos sac fly. Phillips hit a drive into the first row in left field in the sixth inning, his 12th homer, for a 3-0 lead.

Grand Slam title. So are the other women left at the least predictable Wimbledon in memory: fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, 20th-seeded Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium and 23rd-seeded Sabine Lisicki of Germany. Its the first time in the 45-year Open era that no previous major champion

reached the womens semifinals at the All England Club. On Thursday, Bartoli faces Flipkens and Radwanska faces Lisicki. Bartoli is the only one who hasnt lost a set and shes also the only one who hasnt faced a past major champion.

Lisicki beat three along the way, most stunningly 16-time Grand Slam titlist Serena Williams in the fourth round Monday, then followed that by eliminating 46th-ranked Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 6-3, 6-3 in the quarterfinals. Flipkens, who missed two months last season because of blood clots in her leg, continued her climb back from outside the top 250 in the rankings by winning her first major quarterfinal, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 over 2011 Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova. Radwanska, who lost last years Wimbledon final to Williams, got past 2011 French Open champion Li Na 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-2. She entered Tuesday only 1-7 in Grand Slam quarterfinals but made the kind of stand she usually doesnt at that stage, saving four set points while Li served at 5-4 in the first. After taking that tie-breaker, there were some shaky moments for Radwanska, who blew a 4-2 lead in the second set. After Li evened the match, Radwanska requested treatment from a trainer, who wrapped the players right thigh with white tape and massaged her back. She needed eight match points to put away Li, including six in the closing game, which lasted 10 minutes. But Radwanska finally did it, setting up a reunion of sorts with Lisicki, someone she faced when they were juniors playing under-12 events. Against Kanepi, 0-5 in major quarterfinals, Lisicki displayed the powerful serves, returns and groundstrokes that ended Williams 34-match winning streak, even mixing in a half-dozen dropshot winners. Lisicki broke Kanepi at the outset and went through only a brief blip, double-faulting three times in a game to trail 2-1 in the second set. From there, Lisicki won five out of six games to reach her second Wimbledon semifinal.

DETROIT (AP) Three years ago, U.S. car buyers started trickling back into showrooms after largely sitting out the recession. That trickle has turned into a flood. From owners of revitalized small businesses that need to replace aging pickups to new hires who need a fresh set of wheels for the daily commute, increasingly confident buyers pushed auto sales back to pre-recession levels in the first six months of this year. Sales in the January-June period topped 7.8 million, their best first half since 2007, according to Autodata Corp. and Wards AutoInfoBank. The outlook for the rest of 2013 is just as strong. The factors boosting sales low interest rates, wider credit availability, rising home construction and hot new vehicles will be around for a while, and experts are hard-pressed for answers when asked what could slow things down. It all points to continuing improvement in the auto market, said Mustafa Mohatarem, General Motors chief economist. Analysts expect total sales of around 15.5 million cars and trucks in 2013, which would be 1 million more than in 2012. New cars and trucks sold at an annualized rate of 15.96 million in June, the fastest monthly pace since

BUSINESS Auto sales maintain momentum, led by pickups Prepaid funeral is a

December 2007. From January to May, the pace averaged 15.2 million, according to Jessica Caldwell, a senior analyst at car buying site Edmunds.com. Demand for big pickups has been the driving force. GM, Ford and Chrysler sold 157,480 full-size pickup trucks combined in June. That is up around 25 percent from the same month a year ago and almost double the number the companies sold in June 2009, a year when total sales sank to a 30-year low. GM said its new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which went on sale last month, are spending just 10 days on dealer lots before being sold. A 60-day stay is typical. The pickup boom helps everyone, but especially the Detroit automakers, which sell the vast majority of trucks. And prices are rising as automakers add fancier features. Pickup trucks sold for an average $40,361 in June, up 2 percent from last year, according to Kelley Blue Book. But trucks werent the only thing driving sales. Small and subcompact cars sales were also strong, possibly because young graduates went shopping for a new car, said Kelley Blue Book analyst Alec Gutierrez. Relatively high gas prices also may have steered some buyers to more fuel-efficient models, he said. Gas averaged $3.60 a gallon nationwide in June, or 10 cents more than a year ago. Sales of Fords recently updated Fiesta subcompact more than doubled, while the Hyundai Elantra small car saw a 22-percent gain. Family-haulers also did well to start the summer road trip season. Honda said sales of its Odyssey minivan jumped 26 percent. The Toyota RAV4 SUV was up 36 percent, while sales of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV rose 33 percent. Consumer confidence hit a six-year high in June. And the Standard & Poors 500 index had its best first half since 1998, up 12.6 percent. Those measures correlate strongly to auto sales, since people have to feel optimistic and financially secure before buying a car. At the same time, rates on auto loans remained near historic lows in June. The rate on a four-year new-car loan is averaging 2.7 percent, according to Bankrate.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has pledged to keep shortterm interest rates at record lows until the unemployment rate hits 6.5 percent, if not longer. The unemployment rate is currently 7.6 percent. Auto loan rates are pegged to short-term rates, so car buyers should enjoy low financing terms for a while longer.

Obama admin delays major requirement of health law

WASHINGTON (AP) In a major concession to business groups, the Obama administration Tuesday unexpectedly announced a one-year delay, until 2015, in a central requirement of the new health care law that medium and large companies provide coverage for their workers or face fines. We have heard concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively, Treasury Assistant Secretary Mark Mazur said in a blog post. We have listened to your feedback and we are taking action. Under the law, companies with 50 or more workers must provide affordable coverage to their full-time employees or risk a series of escalating tax penalties if just one worker ends up getting government-subsidized insurance. Business groups have complained since the law passed that the provision was too complicated. The unexpected decision is sure to anger liberals and labor groups, but it could provide cover for Democratic candidates in next years congressional elections. While the White House sacrificed timely implementation of a key element of President Barack Obamas health care law, the move also undercuts Republican efforts to make the overhaul and the costs associated with new requirements a major issue in congressional races. Democrats are defending 21 Senate seats to the Republicans 14, and the GOP had already started to excoriate Senate Democrats who had voted for the health law in 2009. Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarret cast the decision as part of an effort to simplify data reporting requirements. She said since enforcing the coverage mandate is dependent on businesses reporting about their workers access to insurance, the administration decided to postpone the reporting requirement, and with it, the mandate to provide coverage. We have and will continue to make changes as needed, Jarrett wrote in a White House blog post. In our ongoing discussions with businesses we have heard that you need the time to get this right. We are listening.

Maximum strength analgesic creme for temporary relief from: Joint and Muscle soreness Arthritis Back aches

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Rail workers and transit officials agreed Tuesday to resume contract talks to end a two-day strike that has caused chaotic commutes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and prompted businesses to claim the walkout is costing the region millions of dollars. The move came as political pressure mounted for a settlement. In a letter, the state controller, lieutenant governor and insurance commissioner urged both sides to return to the bargaining table. Negotiations were scheduled to start at 6 p.m. PDT between the Bay Area Rapid Transit agency and the two largest unions representing train workers. Calls seeking comment from the agency and unions were not immediately returned. The letter from the Democratic state officials said the strike has caused widespread personal hardship and severe economic disruption, and noted they were disappointed about the lack of productive proposals and counter-proposals in the days leading up to the strike. Gov. Jerry Brown did not sign the letter and has said little publicly about the strike. His office did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment on whether he might get involved or what options he might exercise to end the walkout. The Bay Area Council, a business-sponsored public policy advocacy organization, estimated the strike was costing the region $73 million a day in diminished productivity by workers delayed in traffic or forced into longer commutes using other forms of transit.

Talks to resume to end strike that stymied commute

The figure was based on state and regional data, anecdotal evidence of commute times, and assumptions about how many people telecommute, said Rufus Jeffris, a spokesman for the group. Stephen Levy, director of the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy in Palo Alto, countered that the disruption might be annoying but the impact is minimal on the $600 billion a year regional economy. There are no permanent losses, he said. People work from home, people work harder later the next day or make it up later. The money not being spent in San Francisco remains in the pockets of people who can spend it at home. Commutes in the region were thrown into chaos when the strike began early Monday after talks with management broke down. BART is the nations fifthlargest rail system and carries passengers from the furthest reaches of San Franciscos densely populated eastern suburbs to San Francisco International Airport across the bay. Freeways have choked to a standstill. Lines for ferry service tripled, and boats were crammed to standing-room only. Buses were stuffed with riders who felt fortunate to be on board after many commuters were literally left in the dust when buses zoomed by without as much as a honk or an explanation. About a hundred people waited single-file at the downtown Berkeley bus station. Some had watched multiple, full F buses cruise by for hours.

DEAR BRUCE: I am 61 years old and had planned to Bruce Williams pay into a prepaid funeral. My friends think Im too young for this and advise that I would just be giving money to the bank (in an escrow account). Their suggestions include putting the money in a CD or life insurance. What do you think? -- Sam, via email DEAR SAM: I dont agree with your friends at all. You could check out tomorrow or stick around for another 20 years. The prepaid funeral is a very thoughtful gift to leave behind. You decide on the budget, the type of ceremony, cremation vs. casket burial, etc. Who better than you to make those decisions? Many undertakers sell prepaid funeral plans. Then, even though funeral rates go up, yours does not. They should have some arrangement that provides a full refund, with interest, should you decide to move and, as a consequence, not need their services. Putting the money into a CD or life insurance is not a bad idea. Its where your comfort level lies. With the prepaid funeral, however, youve made a specific plan. Youre not just leaving a lump sum of money and requiring someone else to make all the decisions. DEAR BRUCE: I am a 73-year-old widow with a $150,000 balloon mortgage coming due in one year. The house is worth $350,000. I expect to move in about three years to an independent living community. Would it be best to pay off the balloon from part of my savings (mutual funds) or refinance the mortgage? -- T.P., via email DEAR T.P.: You have a balloon coming due in one year, but two years after that you expect to move into an independent living community. It seems to me that you should consider selling the house now. A sale is not going to happen overnight; it might take a year or more to fix up the house and get it sold. If you sell now, you can ask whatever price you think is reasonable and, if the house doesnt move, you have time to lower the price. If you are fortunate and someone comes in with a good offer, you can sell and either move to the independent living community earlier or rent an apartment or small home for the next two years. If you decide not to sell now, I would be inclined to pay off the mortgage instead of refinancing for only two years, assuming that you have the money in savings. This, of course, assumes the money is not earning a large return. If whatever youre invested in is doing extremely well (I dont think a mutual fund would meet that description), you might wish to get a new mortgage. But for just two years, I would fix up the house and recapture the costs when you sell. DEAR BRUCE: I am in the middle of a divorce. I built a consulting business from scratch, and I am the sole employee. Her attorney says the business is worth $800,000, with $150,000 annual gross revenue. Since I am the only employee, and since without me there is no business, how do you put value on something like this? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: You have an interesting situation, given that if you decide to leave, there is no business. On the other hand, youre not going to do that because of the $150,000 annual gross revenue. This could be a battle, particularly when youre talking about the $800,000 value of the business. It is a matter of negotiation, and I trust youve selected an attorney who is reasonably adroit in such matters. There are enterprises that hold themselves out as experts in attempting to value businesses like yours. You may want to consult with one. Also, if I were you, I would do my best to have my attorney negotiate a one-time price rather than have to pay a percentage of my annual income forever. Another option is an arrangement where you would pay what amounts to alimony for a relatively modest period. If there are other assets to be distributed, you might try to negotiate an agreement in which she would get the other assets and you would retain complete control over your business. DEAR BRUCE: I have an idea that I believe to be unique in the pet supply industry, and I have nowhere to go with it. There are many companies that will help you with your inventions. However, I cant help but believe that most of them are not legitimate and that they will take your idea if its decent and run with it. -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: Lets take your last comment first -- that most of the companies that advertise they will help with inventions are either not legitimate or, at the very least, disingenuous. Personally, I would not have anything to do with them. Is your unique idea something that can be patented? If you think it might be, get an attorneys opinion. If the attorney agrees, you can look forward to spending a couple of years and several thousand dollars on the patent process. The fact is, most companies will not talk with someone such as yourself unless you have a patent or sign away all of your rights. If you get a patent and can work out an arrangement with a company, you have it made. On the other hand, unless youre prepared to invest money in this idea, what do you have to lose?

AGRIBUSINESS Cover crops can improve soil health

BY JAMES J. HOORMAN OSU-Extension Ag Educator With wheat soon to be harvested, think about planting cover crops to improve their soil health. There are four major types of cover crops including grasses, legumes, brassica and others. Grasses tend to accumulate nutrients with their fibrous root system and generally make phosphorus more available. They generally have a higher carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio. Major grasses include oats, wheat, cereal rye, annual ryegrass, Sudan-sorghum, and barley. These grasses are a grown before soybeans, may absorb left over nitrogen from fertilizer or manure, are good erosion fighters and reduce soil compaction. Cereal rye (wide leaf) is a winter annual that germinates at 30F. Cereal rye improves soil compaction and suppresses weeds. Annual rye (narrow leaf) is another winter annual with a tremendous root system but may be hard to kill in spring. Sorghum Sudan is a summer annual that dies with the first frost so it needs to be seeded immediately after wheat harvest. Mow or chop after it grows 3 feet tall to promote tillering with 5-9X more root growth after cutting. Oats winter kills with temperatures below 20F, has good root growth, easy to plant and manage, and no need for herbicide in spring. Wheat seed is easy to find, however; it is harder to kill in spring and has a poorer root system than cereal rye or annual rye. Farmers need to avoid planting wheat before Hessian fly free date to reduce pathogen or disease problems. Triticale (winter annual) and Teff (summer annual) are good cover crops for forages. Barley (winter annual) makes excellent cattle feed for forage or grain. Barley may be harvested 2-3 weeks before wheat and is good for double crop soybeans. Pearl Millet (summer annual) is a fast grower, good for short growing windows, good for heat or droughty conditions and excellent for grazing or forage value. Legumes are great producers of nitrogen, have a large taproot, and are generally grown before corn. Austrian winter peas (inoculated) are planted early in August growing 5 feet long but generally die with frost, however, they add 100-120#N to soil. Windham winter peas (inoculated) can be planted

Delphos members attend FFA Camp

Information submitted Eleven Delphos FFA members recently embarked on a journey to FFA Camp Muskingum. Their trip would take them to Carroll County, 4 1/2 hours from Delphos, to the home of FFA Camp. The week-long session members attended was packed full of leadership, team-building, communication and recreational activities. The members had the opportunity to meet and visit with this years State FFA Officer Team, relax and enjoy different aspects of camp and most importantly, create friendships with close to 300 other FFA members from across the state. During the week, Delphos members participated in four team-building and problem-solving-based workshops presented by the State Officers. They participated in various contests and

Delphos members attending FFA Camp included, front from left, Halee Heising, Sophia Wilson, Rileigh Tippie, Sophia Thompson, Desiree Wessel and Kiersten Teman; and back, Jordan Barclay, Riley Claypool, Wes Roby, Sydney Freund and Kaitlyn Cress. (Submitted photo) tournaments to earn points for their camp chapters. They took advantage of the opportunity to go swimming, kayaking, canoeing and motor-boating on Leesville Lake. The experience of being surrounded by new people allowed our members to share activities and experiences that they have gained with the Delphos FFA and learn about other activities that they could implement when they arrive home. FFA Camp was established in 1942 and during the five weeks, the camp is open to FFA members; over 1,000 of them will attend. The life skills that are gained at camp come in a different form than those that are usually presented in the classroom because of the relaxed camp environment. The experience has allowed Delphos members to experience personal growth and gain skills that are necessary for a successful future.

Farmers working to protect Ohios water

Information submitted COLUMBUS As the peak season approaches for Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) on Ohios lakes, the Ohio farm community is pledging its best efforts to protect Ohios valuable water resources. An alliance of farm organizations, environmental advocates, academia, businesses and other interested parties have begun a multi-step initiative to positively affect water quality both short-term and over an extended time frame. The primary focus is on preventing the nutrient phosphorus from escaping from farm fields. While this nutrient is essential to producing food, fuel and fiber, it can drain from fields and feed the growth of HABs. University and other agricultural experts have made recommendations to protect water without reducing agricultural productivity. Many farmers are already taking steps as a down payment to address the part of the water quality problem caused by field runoff. Farmers are using soil tests to avoid applying excessive amounts of fertilizer. One survey showed 82-percent compliance with Ohio State University-approved testing practices. A pollution reduction project in the Lake Erie Basin reduced phosphorus applications by more than 180,000 pounds across 8,653

later, generally survive winter, and if allowed to grow in spring, can accumulate 75-100#N. Cowpeas is planted after wheat, need very little moisture to germinate, grow well in summer heat but die with frost. Cowpeas may accumulate 125-135 #N if inoculated and work well in mixtures because they are shadetolerant. Sunn hemp (summer annual) may get 10-15 feet tall with yellow flowers, and may produce 200#N (marble-size nodules if inoculated), works well in mixture, but dies with frost. Crimson clover works well in mixtures with oilseed radish (same size seed). If inoculated, crimson clover can produce 100-125#N but needs to be planted in August or early September to maximize growth. Crimson clover should survive most winters and should be allowed to grow as long as possible in spring to maximize N potential (bright red crimson flower). Red Clover tolerates wet soils and can be frost-seeded into wheat in late winter, producing 75-100# N but has a higher C:N ratio so it takes longer to release N than other legumes. Sweet Clover has a deep tap root, tolerates wet soils, produces 125-200#N, improves soil drainage and suppresses weeds. Works well in red clover or alsike mixtures and may also be frost-seeded into wheat. Brassicas include oilseed (Daikon- white root) radishes and turnips and are good for reducing soil compaction, kill or suppressing broadleaf weeds, and they accumulate soil nutrients (N-P-K). Radishes die at 15F and can have a nasty smell when they decompose. They fumigate the soil and promote earthworms. The root is 80% water and decays quickly when soils warm up. OSR grows well under cooler wetter conditions in late summer and early fall and works well in cover crop mixtures. Turnips are a winter annual with shorter taproot and bulb that can be grazed. Other cover crops include buckwheat, a summer annual, good for surface compaction, is great for attracting beneficial insects and honey bees, often used in mixtures. Sunflowers (summer annuals) loosen soils, work well in mixtures with peas or climbing cover crops, and attract bees and beneficial insects. Kale and rape/canola (winter annuals) grow fast in fall under cool temperatures and cool soil conditions. All cover crops improve soil health, increase soil organic matter, protect the soil from soil erosion, and many reduce soil pests.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
THURSDAY, JULY 4, 2013 You are likely to be extremely fortunate in the year ahead when working with groups, clubs or large organizations. Social and material opportunities will be abundant in such areas. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your inclination might be to get others to help champion your chosen position. However, youre likely to have much better results if you leave everybody out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Dont think that material things will provide the gratification youre seeking. Friendship and the company of loved ones will provide the warmth and harmony you crave. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -When it comes to a financial matter, your mates thinking might not be as astute as yours. Handle your differences diplomatically, but let good sense prevail. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If there is some kind of special work you need performed, check with friends who have had experience with this type of situation. Dont hesitate to ask for references. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -If you have to make some changes that could affect others, be sure to alert everyone involved. Springing a surprise on others might invite outrage. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- A close friend or family member might make a promise to you that he or she couldnt possibly keep. Dont make an issue of it, just be ready to forgive and forget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont fritter away your energy and/or time on things that wont contribute to your status or well-being. Youre in an expansive cycle where many opportunities exist. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Overall conditions look to be quite favorable, with the exception of any situation that involves speculation. Be careful when operating in chancy waters. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -You should know better than most that disappointment is likely if your expectations are not within rational bounds. Be reasonable and logical when making an assessment. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even though youre on the right track, you should allow plenty of time for your plans to mature. Dont get ahead of yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- As youre still in a lucky cycle where your finances and commercial affairs are concerned, be alert for a new opportunity. Things will continue to go well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Success is likely for you, provided you dont impulsively switch objectives. You need to stick with your current endeavors, even if things are going somewhat slow. FRIDAY, JULY 5, 2013 A number of opportunities are likely to develop for in the year ahead that could make it possible for you to generate income from more than one source. Its a condition you always wanted to happen, but never thought possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -A friend is anxious to talk about a personal issue, but is hesitant to do so. It might be up to you to put your pal at ease. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Although you might not be too lucky with intangible involvements, all the good will youre able to generate will end up being more valuable than money. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Itll be important to be flexible where your important objectives are concerned. Circumstances are likely to necessitate changing your tactics at a moments notice. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your best ideas are apt to come when reviewing situations that you successfully handled in past, which are similar to what youre facing now. Trade on experience. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A couple of rewarding situations could develop from two separate involvements. Both will involve distinctly different groups or organizations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You shouldnt have too much trouble finding several solutions to a critical issue. The only problem you might have is deciding which one to use. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try to use your free time as productively as possible. If you dont, you might end up writing today off as wasted. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its OK to enjoy yourself as much as possible, but be sure to seek both mental and physical stimulation. Relax and have fun while improving your mind and body. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Do your best to keep your priorities in good order. First, attend to your important obligations so that theyre not hanging over your head the entire day. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You might be surprised by what you can learn simply by spending some quality time with a few bright pals. Additionally, it would be smart to ask a lot of questions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Dont hesitate to spend some time with a friend who has been indebted to you for some time. You could be in for a pleasant surprise when he or she picks up the tab. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This is likely to be an extremely busy day in which you might have to handle several problems simultaneously. Fortunately, youll be able do so with grace and aplomb.

Bolivian leaders plane rerouted on Snowden fear

LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) The plane carrying Bolivian President Evo Morales home from Russia was rerouted to Austria on Tuesday after France and Portugal refused to let it cross their airspace because of suspicions that NSA leaker Edward Snowden was on board, the countrys foreign minister said. Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca denied that Snowden was on the plane, which landed in Vienna, and said France and Portugal would have to explain why they canceled authorization for the plane. We dont know who invented this lie. We want to denounce to the international community this injustice with the plane of President Evo Morales, Choquehuanca said from La Paz. Morales had earlier met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a summit of major gas exporters in the Kremlin. In an interview with Russia Today television, Morales said that his South American country would be willing to consider granting asylum to Snowden. Leaks by Snowden, a former NSA systems analyst, have revealed the NSAs sweeping data collection of U.S. phone records and some Internet traffic, though U.S. intelligence officials have said the programs are aimed at targeting foreign-

close attention to the weather forecast. And they should post lookouts. Those are standards the government follows to protect firefighters, which were toughened after a wildfire tragedy in Colorado nearly two decades ago. On Tuesday, investigators from around the U.S. were arriving in Arizona to examine whether 19 highly trained firefighters who perished over the weekend heeded those rules or ignored them and paid with their lives. In the nations biggest loss of firefighters since 9/11, violent wind gusts Sunday turned what was believed to be a relatively manageable lightning-ignited forest fire in the town of Yarnell into a death trap that left no escape for the team of Hotshots willing to go to the hottest part of the blaze. The tragedy raised questions of whether the crew should have been pulled out much earlier and whether all the usual precautions would have made any difference at all in the face of triple-digit temperatures, erratic winds and tinderbox conditions that caused the fire to explode. In 1994, 14 firefighters died on Colorados Storm King Mountain, and investigators afterward found numerous errors in the way the blaze was fought. In the Storm King tragedy, a rapid change in weather sent winds raging, creating 100foot tongues of flame. Firefighters were unable to escape, as a wall of fire raced up a hillside. The U.S. Forest Service revised its firefighting policies as a result of the blaze. The reforms after Storm King were collectively intended to prevent that from happening again, which was mass entrap-

Investigators to examine why Ariz. blaze killed 19 Bombs bursting in air: PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) Fire crews ment of an entire Hotshot crew, said needed anything. He did exactly what he was supposed battling a wildfire should identify escape Lloyd Burton, professor of environmenJuly 4 nightmare for dogs routes and safe zones. They should pay tal law and policy at the University of to, Ward said Tuesday of McDonough,
Colorado. There are so many striking parallels between this tragedy and what happened on Storm King in 1994, its almost haunting. Those changes included policies that say no firefighters should be deployed unless they have a safe place to retreat. They must also be continuously informed of changing weather. If you dont have those things in place, its not advisable to deploy a team in the first place, because you cant guarantee their safety, Burton said. The Hotshot team from Prescott entered the smoky wilderness over the weekend with backpacks, chain saws and other heavy gear to remove brush and trees and deprive the flames of fuel. But the blaze grew from 200 acres to about 2,000 in a matter of hours as the wind kicked up to 40 to 50 mph gusts and it blew east, south, west every which way, said Prescott City Councilman Len Scamardo. What limited information we have was there was a gust of wind from the north that blew the fire back and trapped them, Scamardo said. The crews only surviving member, Brendan McDonough, was on a hill top working as the lookout when the winds picked up, said Wade Ward, spokesman for the Prescott Fire Department. McDonough notified the other Hotshots that the weather was changing rapidly and that the fire had switched direction because of the wind. McDonough also told his fellow crew members that he was leaving the immediate area because he was in danger and asked them if they who was in his third season with the unit. Retired smoke jumper Art Morrison, a spokesman for the Arizona State Forestry Division, said its essentially a judgment call as to whether a spot can work as a safe haven to escape to if the flames suddenly blow toward crews and they have to flee for their lives. Whatever they used as a safety zone just didnt work, he said. Dick Mangan, a retired U.S. Forest Service safety official and consultant, said it is too early to say if the crew or those managing the fire made mistakes. This just might have been a weather anomaly that nobody saw coming that happened too quickly to respond to, Mangan said. He said the crew members might have taken too many risks because they were on familiar ground and were trying to protect a community they knew well. When youve got especially structures and residences involved, and youve got local resources, theres a fair amount of social and political pressure, some of it self-generated by the firefighters, who want to do a good job, Mangan said. They dont want to see a community burn down. They want to get in there. A team of fire officials drawn from across the country by Atlanta NIMO, or National Incident Management Organization, arrived in the area Tuesday to find out exactly what went wrong. They plan to make their way into the charred fire scene and issue a preliminary report in the coming days, said Mary Rasmussen, a spokeswoman for the Southwest Area Incident Management Team.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Liberty is loud and a lot of dogs have problems with those Fourth of July sounds of freedom, Erika Gamez said. She should know she takes care of over 150 at work and five at home. On Thursday, the 150 dogs, 150 cats and all the other creatures at the Rancho Cucamonga Animal Care and Adoption Center will be moved inside the buildings, said Gamez, the Southern California shelters animal care supervisor. Classical music will be played throughout the center in the early evening to soothe animals that have sensitive hearing and cant tolerate loud noise. Once the booming starts, it gets noisy inside with a cacophony of barking, whining and crying as some dogs panic about the fireworks and others freak out because of their spooked shelter mates. The cats dont seem to mind fireworks, but get stressed at all the commotion. Its a trickle-down effect, Gamez said. Similar scenes will play out in homes, backyards and public parks across the country, leading some anxious hounds to fly the coop, which explains why more lost dogs are turned in to shelters on July 5 than any other day of the year. Dogs that cant escape could hurt themselves in other ways trying to seek shelter from the thundering sounds that could last days as fireworks are launched throughout the weekend. In Rancho Cucamonga, employees will handle 20 to 30 more dogs than usual that day, Gamez said. She has scheduled extra employees. Because July 4 is on a Thursday this year, fireworks shows will be spread over three nights. Add fireworks bought from booths in many cities across the country and it promises to be a long, booming weekend. Dogs have more sensitive ears than humans do and while some dogs dont appear to mind the noise, others will bark, whine, howl, hide, cower or run into furniture and walls, said Dr. Melissa Bain of the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicines Clinical Animal Behavior Service. When she was an animal control officer, Dr. Kate F. Hurley, now director of the Koret Shelter Medicine Program at Davis Center for Companion Animal Health, said she saw dogs jump through plate glass windows when fireworks went off. She handled other dogs that jumped fences, slipped leashes and broke through doors. No one can explain why one dog will hide and another will bolt, Bain said.

Dupler

(Continued from page 1)

Living in the foothills of the Appalachian region, technology was slow to come to the area. Cars, telephones and televisions were truly a luxury. Dupler walked the steep, hilly terrain for fouryears to and from her work in Nelsonville before she bought her first car. I cried once, while I walked to work, she said emphatically. I made up my mind that I was not going to cry anymore. After the Egg Auction moved to Somerset, Ohio, Dupler traveled there for work each day. In 1958, she was offered an inspectors position at Gressel Produce by the owner Phil Gressel. He [Phil] was just getting started when he offered me the job, she recalled. Dupler moved to Delphos in 1959 with her youngest daughter, Nancy (Hawk) Rosen, who was a high school senior at the time and attended Jefferson Senior High, which is now Jefferson Middle School. Delphos had much more

to offer the familya job with the State of Ohio and the conveniences of living in a small town versus in the rolling hills of a countryside. Duplers job was to inspect and double-check all the eggs that passed through a huge candling machine. I held two eggs in each hand and twisted them around, checking the shape, Dupler said. The shell would indicate if it was a good egg. Dupler spent the rest of her career at Gressel Produce and retired in the early 1980s. As a member of the Methodist Church, Dupler spent a great deal of time volunteering at the Interfaith Thrift Store. She now resides in Vancrest Health Care Center and loves having people drop by to reminisce about working at Gressels, the Thrift Store or any other topic of interest. Currently, Duplers family includes five generations: three daughters; nine grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and eight greatgreat-grandchildren.

ers and terrorist suspects mostly overseas. He is believed to be in a Moscow airport transit area, seeking asylum from one of more than a dozen countries. This is a hostile act by the United States State Department which has used various European governments, said Bolivian Defense Minister Ruben Saavedra, who was on the flight. Choquehuanca said in a statement that after France and Portugal canceled authorization for the flight, Spains government allowed the plane to be refueled in its territory. From there the plane flew on to Vienna. He said the decision by France and Portugal put at risk the life of the president. Austrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Schallenberg told The Associated Press that Snowden is not with Morales and that the Bolivian president is spending the night at a Vienna hotel. Snowden has applied for asylum in Venezuela, Bolivia and 18 other countries, according to WikiLeaks, a secret spilling website that has been advising him. Many European countries on the list including Austria, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Switzerland said he would have to make his request on their soil.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Punky Brewster and the kids from Saved by the Bell are returning to the small screen through digital comic books. So, too, are Knight Rider, Airwolf and Miami Vice. Lion Forge Comics and NBC Universal said Tuesday they partnered to develop, write, illustrate and publish digital comics based on those shows from the 1980s and 1990s, bringing new stories for characters

like Crocket and Tubbs as well as Kit and Screech. The comics are set to be released later this year through iTunes, Amazons Kindle Bookstore, Barnes & Nobles Nook store and Kobo. The NBC Universalowned shows are the latest in a growing push that has seen other TV properties extend their stories in comics, most recently The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Berquist laid out options to maximize the plants capacity, including a bare minimum of replacing a full train of plates at $300,000. We knew we were going to have to do this; just not this soon, Berquist added. Other work includes an upgrade to the plants computer system at $66,000 and separating the air handlers at a cost of $130,000. Berquist said he is working on Ohio Public Works and Direct Emergency Financial Assistance (EPA) grants to cover some of the cost of the upgrades. Neither of those will be available until next year but with engineering and other pre-project activity, that should be about right, Berquist said. Something needs to be done so at the end of the day, the EPA is happy. Council heard on first reading legislation allowing Berquist to prepare and submit application for OPWC State Capital Improvement and/or Local Transportation Improvement programs with the citys share being 20 percent to help cover the cost of the wastewater treatment plant upgrades. Council also heard on first reading a measure allowing Berquist to apply for OPWC funds for an East Second Street capital improvement project from Douglas Street to Main

County

Street. The proposed project is estimated at $188,757 with the citys share $37,751. On second reading, council heard legislation addressing residents who fail to maintain their properties to city ordinances. The proposed ordinance raises the charge to have uncontrolled vegetation growth removed by the city to include but not be limited to: $200 minimum for the first hour or any increment thereof and $100 for any hour any increment thereof after the first hour and a $50 administrative fee. Currently, the city does the work for $50 per hour and a $25 administrative fee. Also heard on second reading was a resolution to donate one family season pass valued at $195 to Community Health Professionals for the annual banquet. In other business, Councilman Rick Hanser asked about the new Cass Street water loop. Berquist explained the water is flowing properly and testing has shown the quality as good as anywhere in the city. Councilman Josh Gillespie questioned what the situation was with the signage at the new liquor establishment on Main Street. Berquist said the owner, Paul Lehmkuhle, is in the process of filing variance paperwork for the sign. He has a certain amount of time to turn that in and well go from there, Berquist said. He added that currently, the signage is in the right-of-way.

Answers to Mondays questions: The Western resort town of Jackson, Wyoming, was the first city in the U.S. to be totally governed by women. Jackson elected a woman mayor and women to its four city council seats in 1920, the year the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. The first Hollywood movie based on a Saturday Night Live TV skit was The Blues Brothers in 1980. Todays questions: When it comes to fables, what is an epimyth? Which movie studio, before becoming a major success, won advertising industry honors for its clever TV commercials for Listerine and Life Savers? Answers in Fridays Herald. Todays joke: A husband and wife were at a party chatting with some friends when the subject of marriage counseling came up. Oh! Well never need that. My husband and I have a great relationship, the wife explained. He was a communications major in college, and I majored in theater arts. He communicates really well, and I just act like Im listening.

Trivia

Without regionalization, if five communities each have their own water and wastewater treatment facility, they are required to each have licensed personnel in charge of operations at each facility, wrote Williams in the grant application. They are also responsible for the delivery of drinking water as well as water for processing with respect to some businesses and industries. If any of those communities choose to build or rebuild a facility, they must make a large investment, paid by increased rates to consumers. Under a regional system, if five communities were to collaborate to build one facility each to serve the entire population, consumers would share in the initial costs as well as operations and maintenance of one facility for water and wastewater. According to the grant application, the consumers should benefit economically by consolidating costs. The consumer should be able to address the costly regulatory demands by spreading these costs over a larger consumer groups, wrote Williams in the application. Also, the residential consumer should have more discretionary money to reinvest in the community through the purchase of durable goods, thus helping to further stimulate the economy. Williams also goes on to claim that businesses and industries should have more investment capital to invest in the community which should increase their tax base. The change would require a 6119,

where things are currently operated under a 6117. In the Ohio Revised Code, chapter 6117 states that, For the purpose of preserving and promoting the public health and welfare, a board of county commissioners may lay out, establish, consolidate, or otherwise modify the boundaries of, and maintain, one or more sewer districts within the county and outside municipal corporations and may have a registered professional engineer make the surveys necessary for the determination of the proper boundaries of each district. Chapter 6119 states that, any area situated in any unincorporated part of one or more contiguous counties or in one or more municipal corporations, or both, may be organized as a regional water and sewer district in the manner and subject to the conditions provided in Chapter 6119. of the Revised Code, for either or both of the following purposes: (A) To supply water to users within and without the district; (B) To provide for the collection, treatment and disposal of waste water within and without the district. Before this can take place, they must begin by filing a petition in Putnam County Common Pleas Court. Public hearings are also required before a regional water and sewer district can be established. The memorandum submitted to the court include how it will effectively serve customers, a plan of operation and issues and how they are addressed. According to Commissioner John

Love, villages do not have to be a part of the program. It will work like a co-op but if say, Columbus Grove doesnt want to be a part of it, they dont have to be, said Love. Ottawa Municipal Director Jack Williams likes the idea of a 6119 because it takes the politics out of it. With a 6119, the board is essentially non-political, said Williams. The positions are appointed. It also goes by district so it can go across county line. That way it takes the politics out of it. A district would be run by a board of trustees that cannot include a majority of elected officials from the district. Under a regional system, rates would be based on resident per dwelling or linear pie fee. It is based on the district and what is considered fair for all by the appointed board. Commission Vince Schroeder is not opposed but warns the savings may be farther down the line and not instantly felt. You will have a 6119 but then you need a project to go with it, said Schroeder. The cost of the project would be the same with or without a 6119. Maybe down the road it will save money. Williams cites the size of many of the communities as a reason to move forward with regionalization. A lot of communities are too small to be building their own plant, said Williams. As it stands, commissioners are having discussions with Miller City officials about providing sewer services for their town.
