The
50 daily www.delphosherald.com FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS news@delphosherald.com COLUMBUS On the heels of news Thursday showing that yet another 3,371 people in the state had applied for unemployment benefits, Ohios unemployment rate for June was released showing a jump in the rate and a big loss of jobs. According to the latest report from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), the states jobless rate rose to 7.2 percent in June, up from 7.0 percent in both April and May. The rate is the highest in Ohio since last August. The state showed a loss of 12,500 jobs in June which was the second largest amount of any state. Data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on Thursday showed unemployment rates increasing in 28 states last month, partly because more Americans began searching for work and not all of them got jobs. The government does not count people as unemployed unless they are actively looking for work. The numbers showed a sharp increase in the number of people who had signed up for unemployment in Ohio. The state had the fifth-highest increase in the number

Ohio officials downplay higher unemployment numbers

in the week ending July 6. The job losses were blamed on layoffs in manufacturing, transportation, retail, and utilities. An ODJFS spokesman pointed out that more people are confident in the economy and because of that they have embarked on a job hunt. When they become more confident that theyll likely get a job, they actually start looking for a job, said Benjamin Johnson, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. And we know that as the labor force grows, it often results in an increase (in the rate) because not all the people entering the labor force will get a job right away. According to the report, the number of jobs dropped by 12,500 to just over 5.2 million while the number of unemployed increased by 8,000 to 413,000. Overall in the last 12 months, the number of unemployed has dropped by 5,000 people. The June 2013 rate of 7.2 percent is just marginally lower than the jobless rate in June 2012 when it was 7.3 percent. However, Ohios rate has consistently remained below the national rate, which was 7.6 percent last month. The states unemployment rate peaked during the last half of 2009 and early 2010 at 10.6 percent before starting its trek downward. State officials point to good economic news like that coming out of Toledo this week with the announcement by Chrysler that production on the new Jeep Cherokee should reach full production this September. The company has already hired 1,100 new workers for the Toledo plant which also makes the Jeep Wrangler. In May, Ohio saw a loss of 3,100 manufacturing jobs, another 3,000 positions in the educational and health services fields and 7,100 local government jobs.

Resers closing will have no direct impact on city schools

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delposherald.com

Information submitted LIMA After nearly 20 years as president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving West C e n t r a l Ohio, Neil Winget has announced he is retiring. Winget came to Lima in late 1976 as the Winget morning news reporter for WIMA and T-102 radio. He left WIMA in 1989 and worked for the Lima Area Chamber of Commerce for the next five years as the communications director. See WINGET, page 10

Accident closes U.S. 30 Friday morning

The Van Wert Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol continues to investigate a mid-morning crash on U.S. 30 just east of the S.R. 66 interchange. The entrance ramp to U.S. 30 from S. R. 66 was closed during cleanup. No further information was available at press time. (Delphos Herald/Stacy Taff)

DELPHOS Delphos City Schools Treasurer Brad Rostorfer is concerned Delphos will lose Resers Fine Foods in September but at the same time, feels fortunate it wont impact the bottom line. Rostorfer said since the district does not have an income tax and tangible personal property tax has been phased out, the closure should not affect the districts bottom line. Real estate taxes will still be assessed for the property and someone will still own it and owe those, he said. I suppose it could go in to a delinquency situation but as a whole, the closure wont have an immediate affect on the districts budget. He hopes S.B. 59, Gov. Kasichs new biennial budget, includes a little something extra to replace a portion of the tangible personal property tax and so far, Delphos is one of the districts that will receive an increase in state funding. Right now we are in line to receive a little more for special education and vocational education, he added.

Safety Council saves 34 pct. on Workers Comp. rates

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOSThe Delphos Area Chamber of Commerce is still offering businesses the Safety Council Program, which is a program for businesses to promote safety and earn rebates. Completed registration forms must be submitted to the Delphos Area Chamber by Tuesday. Through a partnership with the Van Wert Area Chamber of Commerce and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation, the Delphos Chamber is encouraging business owners to participate in the 2013-2014 Van Wert Area Safety Council Program. Last year, Van Wert and Delphos Area Safety Council members earned a total of $69,247.00 in rebates on their Workers Compensation rates. This represents a 34 percent increase in savings from the year before. Delphos Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jennifer Moenter said the Safety Council Program is extremely beneficial for a company that may have been removed from Group Rating. Companies that have a lot of employees and many accidents could be removed from their group rating and/or pay higher premiums. For example, if a company has premiums of $75,000, the potential rebate of 4 percent is $3,000, Moenter detailed. By meeting the program requirements, this rebate money far exceeds the fees/time involved with the Safety Council Program.

DELPHOS Becoming a paramedic is no easy task. The year-long course consists of 920 hours of training divided in to classroom lecture, lab hours and clinical/field internship rotations. In addition, time must be set aside to study. Diane Pack wasnt afraid of a little hard work and got a hand from her co-workers at Delphos Fire and Rescue to make it through the Rhodes State Paramedic Program. The class wasnt easy and there were times I felt very frustrated, Pack said. I definitely didnt do it alone. I had a lot of support from a few of our firefighters. Pack was mentored through the program by Firefighter/Paramedic Cory Meyer.

One Year Ago Sr. Tina Petrick, SND, a native of Sandusky, has been an active resident of the sisters convent at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Delphos for six years. She had spent three years teaching at a mission in Papua New Guinea and never quite got that mission work out of her blood. When the opportunity came up to return to the mission field in the same part of the world, the answer was yes. She said she likely would leave Delphos Aug. 13 or 14 and depart for New Guinea Aug. 16. 25 Years Ago 1988 Wayne Suever recently began serving as platoon chief with the Delphos Fire Department. As platoon chief, he will be in charge of fire scenes and volunteer firefighters in the fire chiefs absence. Suever succeeds platoon chief Bob Osburn, who retired at the beginning of July.

Miller, a 1988 graduate of Ottoville High School, has been awarded an academic scholarship to attend Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, Ind. He is also the recipient of a Catholic Ladies of Columbia academic scholarship. He is the son of Ruth and Ray Miller of Ottoville. A group of rimfire rifle shooters at the Black Swamp Rifle and Pistol Club met for the first time for informal competition. Best scores were posted by Jeff Warniment, Bill Henze and Bob Maloney. Matches were shot at oneinch targets at a distance of 100 yards bench-resting the rifles. 50 Years Ago 1963 Nearly twice as many businesses, industries and professional men are members of the Delphos Chamber of Commerce than there were five years ago, William Gladen, chamber secretary, reported this week. The total membership at this date is 101, compared to 56 five years ago he said. In Holland, dairy farmers dont call their cows in to the barn at milking time. They wheel a rack containing milk pails out to the pasture and milk the cows there. Thats one observation made by Tim Shenk during a five-month tour of Europe that took him, his wife Emma, and their son Tim through 18 countries. The Shenks, who farm on State Road east of Scotts Crossing, sailed for Europe in August 1962. Terry Odenweller, Delphos, will serve as athletic chairman at Giffin College, Van Wert, for the 1963-64 term. Dave A.

In 1927, a Whippet automobile set a record in a coast-to-coast trip averaging 43.28 mpg. The Whippet coach cost $625 and was a stock automobile, and they are sold at the Delphos Overland Co. Delphos Herald, Feb. 29, 1927 B&O Railroad Started in 1827 State and Baltimore joined with representatives of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad here today in the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the charter to the railroad to operate the FIRST general freight and passenger line on this continent. On Feb. 28, 1827, the state of Maryland authorized a newly organized company to construct a railroad from the city of Baltimore to some point on the Ohio River. This grant was the beginning of railroading on the Western Hemisphere. The founders of that first railroad project were farseeing enough to realize the value of a rail connection between the sea at Baltimore and the great mid-continental waterways transportation system which they planned to tap at the Ohio River. But the builders of those first railroads could not have dreamed that the United States was to fill the continent from Atlantic to Pacific within less than a century the rapid development of all facilities which were to bring Baltimore almost as near to San Francisco as it was then to Boston. Delphos Herald, Feb. 28, 1927 Delphos Lost a Chance Delphos has let a chance to secure a manufactory slip through her finger, as the following dispatch from Bowling Green will show: A company has been formed here to manufacture patent railroad crossings, and a factory will be built in the near future. W.R. Cochran of

parade uniforms and the band boys decided to raise money for this purpose. Handsome uniforms of the Hussar Type were selected. They will be blue trimmed with gold. White capes trimmed with black astrakhan and black astrakhan caps with gold tops will complete the uniforms. On the fronts of the caps will be gold eagles and on the sides will appear the name Delphos. The uniforms will probably be worn for the first time at the Firemans convention. They will be kept for parade purposes only, the old uniforms being used for other purposes or occasions. W.G. Point, leader of the band, announced Thursday that he had contracted with the Dixie Jubilee Singers for two concerts to be given on April 18 and 19. These concerts will be held at the Jefferson auditorium. The proceeds will be put in a fund for the new uniforms. The Dixie Jubilee Singers were in Delphos recently and sang for the Kiwanis Club. They provided excellent entertainment and the people of Delphos will have a treat in store for them on the dates mentioned. Delphos Herald, Mar. 3, 1927 Dog Does Not Like Suicide Their dogs distaste of suicide, or at least to gas as a way to commit suicide was responsible for the rescue alive of an accountant and his wife who attempted to asphyxiate themselves. Because they wished that their dog should accompany them into the beyond, they had shut their dog up in the house with them and locked windows and doors. The dog had different views. As soon as the gas became unpleasant, he sought fresh air by jumping through the glass window pane. Running to the porter, the dog barked until the latter investigated. The dogs master and mistress resuscitated and now all three are trying to make the best of life. Delphos Herald, Mar. 2, 1927

Few of us ever live in the present. We are forever anticipating what is to come or remembering what has gone. Louis LAmour, storyteller

DEAR EDITOR: Christian belief holds that almighty God created the heavens and the earth and humankind in his image. We then, as created beings do not have divine authority to elevate or denigrate other created beings based upon skin color, ethnicity, weight, intellect, talent or any other attribute assigned by the creator. Our nations founders held that equality was intended by God. Of course, my comments are prompted by the recent Travon Martin/George Zimmerman situation in which a young man lost his life. The one who fired the fatal shot was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. Our laws are based upon the Ten Commandments. Our judicial system is not perfect and justice is not always blind. At times, some will differ with a verdict and have the right to voice pleasure or displeasure. I disagreed with the not guilty verdict in the O.J. Simpson case. I accepted it. The news media reported much jubilation and celebration by some. I agreed with the not guilty verdict in the Martin/Zimmerman case and accepted it. The news media reported much displeasure by some. Some who were displeased by the verdict chose to manifest it in unlawful, violent, terroristic and destructive behavior, some of which was condoned and encouraged by those they look to for leadership. Such behavior should be dealt with under our system of laws. Rioting advocates and indeed is the attempt to rule by mob, the antithesis to rule by law.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

So its that time again. As you read this, I will be taking my hubby to the airport for his annual trip to our nieces national dance championships in Ocean City, Md. With a week without my hubby and best friend stretching before me, I ask myself, What to do, what to do? I have plans for Saturday and Im going to make sure I get a couple meals from the Immaculate Conception Parish Festival on Sunday. Those meals are sooooo good and well worth the price and trip to get them. Im getting two because I was really upset with myself last year for only getting one. I would have enjoyed having another on Monday or Tuesday. And of course, that would mean no cooking. And so the rest of the week lays before me. Little Ringo will fill a lot of time. He will mope around, glancing at the bedroom chair where his master usually sits while watching TV or playing his game on his phone. Ringo will come up to me and put his little furry head in my lap and give those oh-so-sad puppy dog eyes, imploring me to produce his best friend so they can play. Ill have to make sure I keep him occupied when Im home. A restless doggie is sometimes an ornery doggie. My husband and Ringo had a final bonding moment Friday morning at the DelphosGillmor Reservoir. They were there before 6 a.m. and watched the sunrise together. That dog can walk his paws off. He loves to walk and sniff and wander and chase a scent. Now its just the two of us. Ill take a picture of our little guy each day and send it to my husband and Im sure theyll talk each evening when he calls. But we all know it wont be the same. Jay will reprise his role as Prop Uncle, making sure everything for Lotus dance team is ready to go on stage and then haul it out there when the time comes.

What to do, what to do

He really enjoys interacting with her, his sister and brother-in-law and all the dance company parents. He has some opportunity for downtime and uses it to eat the most amazing French fries ever (his words) and to walk the boardwalk. Hell picked up a few souvenirs and take in the ambiance of the boardwalk live music and performers and just a ton of people. He said you have to practically walk sideways to get through the crowd. His big day will be Friday. Thats when all the teams and duos and solos that made it through the week will compete for the top spots. Hopefully, the company sponsoring the championships will have a good stream so I can watch online as well. My heart swells with pride when I see on that stage. To me, she is a winner all the time. I held her when she was just a baby and talked to her on phone and got pictures of her every few months. She likes to fish and swim and of course, dance. But to her, its just something she does and does really well. She takes the trophies and fuss in stride the same as she does classes and her grueling schedule. We now have a collection of her trophies, medals and such. To some it may seem a little strange to walk into a our computer room and see the Lotus corner. Were not stalkers, we are just so proud of her. So now I just have to fill the middle part of my week. What to do, what to do.

The road to bedlam

KATHLEEN PARKER

Point of View
yet, if we are honest, we know that human nature includes the accumulation of evolved biases based on experience and survival. In the courtroom, its called profiling. In the real world, its called common sense. One thing we can all agree upon without much strain is that this incident this senseless, heartbreaking death never should have happened. Zimmerman, who began acting as a watchman in 2004 and had made more than 40 calls to authorities over the years, never should have left his car once he had notified police, who told him to stay put. We also can surmise that Zimmerman would not have followed Martin if Zimmerman werent carrying a gun. If Martin were perceived as dangerous, wouldnt an unarmed individual keep his distance until police arrived? Thus, we conclude that Zimmermans actions led to the confrontation that ultimately resulted in a fight that ended with the fatal shooting. It never should have happened. And it didnt have to. The jury obviously felt that Zimmerman acted in selfdefense or, at least, that the state failed to prove otherwise. It must have been a terrible conclusion to reach because, no matter what the legal definitions that guided them, it seems impossible that someones young son, guilty of nothing, should die while his killer walks. Adages become such for a reason: The law is an ass. By the definitions, instruc-

Ensuring Ohio workers have the skills needed to fill open jobs
BY US SENATOR SHERROD BROWN Last week, I heard from Daniel Brewer, a Navy veteran from Cincinnati who could not find a good paying job after returning from Afghanistan. Though Daniel had substantial training in the Navy, moving home to Ohio, he had trouble translating his skills into the civilian workforce. Daniels experience is all too common. Time and time again Ive heard similar stories throughout Ohio: biotech firms, high-tech manufacturers, and small busiBrown nesses are hiring for open positions, but cant find the workers with the right skills to fill these job openings. With too many Ohioans still unable to find work, we should be doing all that we can to ensure that our workers are qualified to fill Ohio jobs. See BROWN, page 10

tions and evidence in other words, by the book the jurors ruled as they could and justice feels ill-served. So, yes, we understand how everyone feels. But feelings are like weather they come and go and shift with time. Part of maturity and fundamental to civilization is learning to process feelings through thought, reflection and, in this case, debate. Instead, in the wake of the Zimmerman verdict, feelings have been magnified and exploited by enablers from certain members of the media, who seem more like rapacious rabble-rousers than journalists, to professional activists who, in fact, thrive on disorder. This is a good time to recognize that activists with television shows are not, in fact, journalists. When Al Sharpton went to Florida to organize demands that Zimmerman be charged, he was acting as the civil rights activist he is, not as a broadcast journalist he plays on television. Now, as he proceeds to organize protests in 100 cities, he has a global bullhorn with which to sound his fury. With such instigation, grass-roots quickly erupt into wildfires. News organizations cant ignore news, obviously, but which came first: The death threats? Or the TV correspondent speculating whether Zimmerman would need to fear for his life? As soon as passions cool, assuming we let them, the discussion that needs to take place surrounds a question: What was George Zimmerman doing walking around his neighborhood armed and loaded? In what world is this normal behavior? The answer: Not a world most of us want to live in. Lets start there. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

Those of you who have heard me speak about the US Postal Service in general terms have heard me say, The US Post Office was one of the most innovative agencies of the government. In fact, almost every aspect of life has been influenced or affected by the fact that there was a mail service in the US. OK, you dont seem all that impressed but you should be. American and foreign automobile manufacturers seem to be blazing new roads with the introduction of electric vehicles. It seems like they are just springing into the marketplace. Look at the Chevy Volt, the Nissan Leaf and of course the luxury end of electric innovation the $85,000 seven-passenger Tesla (fully-equipped, highend model). I had to stifle a laugh when I passed a Cadillac ESV hybrid just the other day. But the truth is, this is old news. Lets trek back to 1899, when the US Post Office Department was just beginning to experiment with motorized vehicles vs. the good old horse and carriage. At that time in history automobile manufacturers could be found dotting the landscape from coast to coast Columbia, Winton, Daimler, Auburn, Krebs, Ford, and Packard. The very first motor-driven vehicles were steam powered. These vehicles were then followed by electric models and finally the gasoline powered engine. Ironically,

Going Green in 1899

around 1900, electric land vehicles in America outsold all other types of cars. Then in the several years following 1900, sales of electric vehicles took a nosedive as a new type of vehicle came to dominate the marketplace. The first experiment for mail collection with the use of an electric vehicle took place in Buffalo, N.Y., on July 2, 1899. The superintendent of city delivery rode in a Columbia electric automobile where he collected mail from 40 boxes in an hour and a half. In order to complete the same task with a horse drawn wagon it would have taken more than twice that amount of time. Later in Cleveland, Ohio, (one of the original places for city delivery) an electric vehicle produced by Winton Motor Company was used by a letter carrier who collected 126 boxes in an area of over 22 miles in just two hours and 26 minutes. To add to the magnitude of this accomplishment, this was done in December in a snowstorm. This same route was considered a six hour job when using a horse and wagon. The Postmaster of Detroit Michigan experimented with an electric vehicle produced by Wood Motor Company in 1900. He also tested a gasoline powered vehicle and determined that the gas powered vehicle was preferable to the electric ones since they did not have to spend an equal amount of time charging their batteries as they did in moving the mail. He passed his rec-

ommendations on to Postal Headquarters but as can be the case, the first contracts for vehicles were for electric models. As you may recall rural delivery began in 1896 and some carriers who had to provide their own transportation used electric and gas powered vehicles. The road system was very crude and many that weather and wear and tear could make some roads totally impassible for these new machines. When you come to the museum take a good look at the pictures of vehicles that line the walls opposite the rural sleigh. One in particular has me out scouring for even a skeleton of this 1916 vehicle. Ill give you a hint, it has 3 wheels but no part of the vehicle is enclosed. The words Harley-Davidson are prominently painted on the side car. Now that would be quite a find. So when you read about 21st century mail delivery in electric cars, from Segways, and on T-3s, stop and think that there has been over 110 years of R & D from that organization that has been binding the nation together for over 250 years.

Jimenez finds the fun in a tough day at Muirfield

Associated Press GULLANE, Scotland Miguel Angel Jimenez looked like the only guy who was having fun. On a punishing day at Muirfield the course with a reputation as the fairest links of them all leave it to a 49-year-old Spaniard who enjoys the simple pleasures in life to make such a demanding test at the British Open seem like just another round of golf. There was calamity all around him Friday. Zach Johnson lost the lead with a 3-putt from 10 feet. Brandt Snedeker, regarded as one of the best putters in golf, took four putts from 15 feet. Tiger Woods played well enough to be only one shot behind and rarely smiled. Jimenez, with his frizzy red hair bunched into a ponytail, made his way around Muirfield with only two bogeys for an even-par 71 that gave him a 1-shot lead over Woods, Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson going into the weekend. Whats a 49-year-old doing with the 36-hole lead at the British Open? Why? I have not the right to do it? Only the young people can do it? Jimenez asked. Why? Im fine. We keep playing golf and still get myself on the golf course and thats the secret. Enjoy yourself what you do in life. Thats what Im doing. For so many others, it was tough to enjoy anything about a course that brought the easterly wind for the first time all week and greens that hit warp speed even after tournament officials hand-watered the putting surfaces overnight. Woods went 12 holes without a birdie, saving his round with a collection of tough pars, and finished with a 6-iron from 212 yards to 15 feet for a birdie and a 71. Westwood matched the best round of the day with a 68, while Stenson had a 70. Both of them had a double bogey on their cards. Dustin Johnson got himself into such a predicament on the 15th that his only option from a bunker was to aim sideways into the rough. He shot 72. Every hole is playing hard, Johnson said. You dont get any breaks. Youve really got to grind it out. Its tough off the tee. Its tough on your approach shot and its tough putting. Phil Mickelson was in range of the lead until a 4-putt on the 16th hole, his second double bogey of the day. That was one hole after Mickelson made a par putt that would have gone 15 feet by if he had missed. Zach Johnson couldnt think of too many poor shots he hit in the blazing sunshine, except maybe for a pitching wedge he punched from 158 yards that bounded over the back of the 15th green. He chipped to 10 feet and took three putts from there for a double bogey, and he dropped one more shot on the final hole for a 75. I enjoy difficult tests, said Johnson, who won the 2007 Masters in the toughest conditions at Augusta in more than 50 years. I think everyone does. Fun youve got to use that term loosely. Whats fun about it is that we dont see this but once a year. The reference was to links golf, though such brown, brittle conditions have not been seen at the Open since Hoylake in 2006; the greens there werent nearly that quick. Mickelson added the Muirfield greens in these conditions were faster than Augusta. Jimenez, who was at 3-under 139, has his own definition. The fun does not mean you have the biggest smile and start laughing all day, he said. Fun is when you enjoy what youre doing. I play golf and I enjoy it. And its fun to me, no? Sometimes you can see me serious because of a situation but having fun doesnt mean that you are falling on the ground and start laughing. See GOLF, page 7

Phillips drives in 3, Reds beat Pirates 5-3

CINCINNATI (AP) Brandon Phillips drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double on Friday night, and Mike Leake got the better of left-hander Francisco Liriano for the third time this season, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates that tightened the NL Central. The third-place Reds moved to within three games of second-place Pittsburgh. The Pirates lead their season series 6-5. The Reds sent nine batters to the plate for four runs in the fifth off Liriano (9-4), who had his shortest outing of the season. Chris Heiseys infield single drove in the first run, and Phillips double off Justin Wilson made it 5-0. Heisey also had a solo homer off Liriano, who is 0-3 in three starts against Leake and the Reds this season. Leake (9-4) gave up solo homers to Starling Marte, Andrew McCutchen and Russell Martin in the sixth inning. Manny Parra fanned Pedro Alvarez with runners on second and third to end the seventh. Aroldis Chapman struck out two in the ninth while getting his 22nd save in 25 chances. The Ohio River rivals have produced the majors most painful pairings this season. Nineteen batters have been hit by pitches the Reds 10 times, the Pirates nine times in their 11 games. Nobody was hit on Friday, a rare game that didnt leave a mark. The Pirates emerged from the All-Star break with their best record in 37 years. Their 56 wins were their most at the break since the World Series champion Pirates of 1971 had 57 wins. Pittsburghs overriding question: Can it avoid another second-half meltdown and break a two-decade streak of losing? The Reds are trying to

NASCAR suspends use of aerial camera systems

Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. NASCAR suspended the use of aerial camera systems Friday, nearly two months after a Fox Sports cable snapped and injured fans and damaged some cars at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Ten people were injured during the CocaCola 600 when part of the drive rope landed in the grandstand. Three people were taken to hospitals and were checked out and released soon after. NASCAR has decided, in collaboration with its broadcast partners, to suspend all media partner usage of aerial camera systems that hang over race tracks, NASCAR wrote in a statement. The safety of our competitors and our fans remains NASCARs No. 1 priority and until total evaluation and analysis have been completed, usage of this particular technology enhancement and any similar enhancements, has been suspended. Fox successfully used the CATCAM system

duplicate what they did last season, when they went on a surge after the break and ran away to the NL Central title. First, they need to get healthy. Top starter Johnny Cueto, setup men Sean Marshall and Jonathan Broxton, and cleanup hitter Ryan Ludwick are still on the disabled list. Heisey took over in left field when Ludwick got hurt, then pulled his right hamstring and missed nearly two months. His solo shot on Friday gave him three homers since his return. Shin-Soo Choo singled during Cincinnatis four-run fifth, extending his hitting streak to 13 games, matching his career high.

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report! CENTRAL OHIO Buckeye Lake (Fairfield/Licking/Perry counties) - Channel catfish are being caught around Liebs Island and Fairfield Beach areas use cut shad or shrimp. Largemouth bass are being caught along cover; target vegetation, points and riprap using spinner baits, crankbaits and plastics. Hybrid-striped bass can be caught using spinners or drifting chicken livers between Sellers point and the north ramp. Hargus Creek Lake (Pickaway County) - A large population of largemouth bass measuring 8-12 inches, with some larger, can be found at this 146-acre lake near Circleville. Fish main lake points, secondary points with riprap and dropoffs using crankbaits, spinner baits and tubes for consistent catches. A fair population of 6- to 7-inch bluegill and redear sunfish can be caught using nightcrawlers suspended by a bobber; for a change, try fishing crickets or use a fly rod and present floating spiders or poppers for bluegill. Electric motors only. NORTHWEST OHIO

Lake LeComte, Fostoria #5 (Hancock County) - Lake LeComte is three miles southwest of Fostoria on Hancock Country Road 23 and has populations of bluegill, black and white crappie, largemouth/smallmouth/white bass and brown bullhead. The Division of Wildlife has stocked yellow perch, saugeye and channel catfish in the reservoir. Gizzard shad is the main forage species, so using baits that mimic shad can be productive when pursuing saugeye and bass. Crappie have been biting recently; try minnows in the southeast corner. Boats are allowed on the reservoir, with a 9.9-HP restriction. Sandusky Bay (Ottawa/Erie counties) - Once the water levels settle down from recent storms, anglers should be able to catch some nice channel catfish. Public fishing accesses include the Willow Point Wildlife Area off of Wahl Road, Pipe and Pickerel creeks and the Sandusky Bay Bridge Fishing Access off of SR 2; try worms, shrimp, or chicken livers fished on the bottom. NORTHEAST OHIO Highlandtown Lake (Columbiana County) - Classic summer bass patterns continue to pro-

at the Daytona 500 and the Sprint All-Star race at Charlotte. ESPN.com wrote Friday that ESPN had planned to use the Batcam system next weekend for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis and the Aug. 11 race at Watkins Glen, N.Y. We have an excellent working relationship with NASCAR and totally understand their position, Rich Feinberg, ESPNs vice president of motorsports production, told ESPN.com. We look forward to beginning our NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule at Indianapolis and televising 17 great weeks of racing. Getting Dirty: Go ahead, spill the dirt. NASCAR is set for its first dirt race in more than 40 years on Tuesday when the Truck Series hits Eldora Speedway. The last time one of NASCARs top touring series competed on dirt was Sept. 30, 1970, when Richard Petty won a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (called the Grand National Division at that time) race at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. See RACING, page 7

duce on this quiet, hill country lake; try top-water baits during low-light conditions or crankbaits near offshore structure for largemouth bass feeding on gizzard shad. The catfish bite has been pretty steady, with worms and chicken livers doing well, but commercial stinkbait has also been producing lately. Sunfish continue to bite well on worms under a bobber but small jigs have also produced some good catches lately. LaDue Reservoir (Geauga County) - Crappie have been biting well on the 22 and 422 overpasses; anglers are using perch rigs tipped with minnows, also catching lots of bonus white perch. Largemouth bass have been biting well, particularly during low light; target offshore structure and weedbeds with top-water lures, weedless frogs, spinnerbaits and Carolina-rigged soft plastics. Channel catfish have been taking the occasional bluegill angler by surprise, with several reports of good catches on worms fished under a bobber. SOUTHEAST OHIO Piedmont Lake (Belmont County) - Channel catfish anglers should try nightcrawlers using

tight-line techniques in the shallow coves of the lake; these can usually be caught using nightcrawlers and chicken livers. Flathead catfish are also found in the lake; try bluegill as bait and fishing the area close to the marina. Largemouth bass may still be caught in the very early morning and late at night when the weather is a bit cooler; try rigging a worm wacky-style for a different presentation. Lake Snowden (Athens County) - The high water and hot temperatures left over from the recent storms have not created the best conditions for anglers but with a little planning and some patience, you can still find some fish. Largemouth bass are going to be moving deeper this time of year to take advantage of the cooler water but will come into the shallows between dusk and dawn to feed; target them at this time using plastic worms or crankbaits. Channel catfish may provide the best opportunity in muddy conditions since they are not primarily sight feeders; target shallow coves and bats at night using any of the typical catfish baits like nightcrawlers, chicken livers or any of the prepared baits.

Smith part of Team Work

Trey Smith, an upcoming sophomore at Delphos Jefferson, is a member of Team Work (15 and under) AAU Basketball squad that won the Platinum Championship of the prestigious Adidas Invitational Tournament in Indianapolis from July 10-14. The tournament started with over 90 teams in the 15 and under division and 38 teams qualified for the Platinum (highest) bracket through pool play with the remaining teams divided over the gold, silver and bronze brackets. Team Work cruised through pool play with no game closer than 22 points. The squad opened tournament play with a hard-fought 57-54 victory over Hoop Dreams (KY). They posted victories over Wisconsin Playground Warriors 46-40, Grand Rapids Storm 64-48, Houston Defenders 64-59 (OT) and Iowa Barnstormers 57-46 to earn a spot in the Championship game. Work brought home the title with a 96-88 win over the Compton Magic (Los Angeles). The championship is the current highlight of a season that has also included tourney titles at the King James Classic and the Lake Erie District National Qualifier. The team currently sports an impressive 36-5 record. In addition to Smith (No. 24 in the picture), teammates hail from Medina HS, Mentor HS, Dublin Coffman HS, Dublin Jerome HS, Athens HS, New Concord John Glenn HS, Walsh Jesuit H and Magnolia (WV) HS. Smith and his teammates are now off to Orlando, Fla., where they will compete in the AAU Super Showcase and the AAU Nationals (where they will play up in the 16 and under division). As a side note, Dakota Mathias of Elida was a member of the 17U team that won the Gold Bracket (second level) in the same tournament. (Photo submitted)

SOUTHWEST OHIO Stillwater River (Miami County) - Smallmouth bass are being caught using artificial and real soft craws, lead-headed jigs tipped with a curly tail or other soft bait. The best color choices are black and green or pumpkinseed. East Fork (Clermont County) - Largemouth bass are being caught using plastic worms, banded crankbaits or top-water baits such as buzzbaits, particularly early in the morning and late in the evening; cast along the points, buck brush, banks and in the areas with submerged trees or brush. Jig the worm on the bottom; keep the shiners or minnows moving in the top 2-3 feet of water. Channel catfish are being caught using minnows or chicken liver; larger channel cats are being caught on nightcrawlers, Nitro worms (green nightcrawlers) or chicken livers along the bottom and near any rock wall and at least 18 feet deep. Bluegill are hitting on meal/wax/red worms under a bobber and about 2-5 feet deep. Cast anywhere around the docks, standing wood or downed trees. Hybridstriped bass are being caught trolling near the main beach, campground beach and the flat near the Army Corp ramp; start watching for schools of shad acting skittish on the surface and be ready to cast a twister or bait into the school. OHIO RIVER Water levels on the Ohio River have been unusually high in the past weeks due to the abnormally large rainfall events. While levels have gone down in many places, the release of water still creates strong currents and unfavorable conditions; anglers are encouraged to check water levels before deciding to fish. LAKE ERIE Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler; minimum size limit is 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 5; minimum size limit is 12 inches. The black bass (largemouth/smallmouth) daily bag limit is 5 per angler with a 14-inch minimum size limit. Western Basin: Walleye fishing was good over the past week; the best areas were between West and Middle Sister islands, off of Crane Creek, Northwest Reef (W of North Bass Island) and between Kelleys Island Shoal and the Canadian border. Trollers have been catching fish on worm harnesses or with divers and spoons; drifters are using worm harnesses with bottom-bouncers or are casting mayfly rigs. Yellow perch fishing was good over the past week; the best areas have been the gravel pit, B can of the Camp Perry firing range, between Rattlesnake Island and West Reef, between Kelleys Island and Lakeside and E of the Kelleys Island airport. Perch-spreaders with

shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Smallmouth bass fishing has been very good around South Bass Island; anglers are using soft craws, tube jigs and crankbaits. Largemouth bass fishing has also been good in harbors and nearshore areas around Catawba and Marblehead. Central Basin: Walleye fishing has been good at the weather buoy between Vermilion and Lorain near the Canadian border, in 20-24 of water NE of Rocky River, in 32-42 of water N of Edgewater, in 68-72 NE of Geneva and in 68-72 N of Ashtabula; anglers are trolling dipsy/jet divers with worm harnesses and yellow, orange, pink, green and purple spoons with copper backs. Yellow perch fishing has been excellent in 39-43 off of Avon Point, Edgewater, Eastlake/Mentor, Fairport Harbor, Ashtabula and Conneaut. Shore anglers are catching a few fish off the East 55 Street pier in Cleveland, the Mentor Headlands pier and the short pier on the Grand River; spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Smallmouth bass fishing has been excellent in 15-25 around harbor areas in Cleveland (5-20 of water), Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut. Largemouth bass are also being caught in the same areas; anglers are using crankbaits, spinnerbaits, tube jigs, curly tail grubs, soft craws and leeches. White bass has been fair in the evenings off Euclid Beach and Sims Park in Euclid and the short pier in Fairport Harbor; anglers are using agitators with jigs and small spoons. The water temperature is 74 degrees off of Toledo and 68 degrees off of Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device while boating. -

DOW Controlled Deer Opportunities The Division of Wildlife (DOW) conducts annual hunts on a number of areas that are normally closed to hunting. All applicants (adults and youth) must possess a current hunting license to apply for controlled hunts. Apply online for $3 per hunt. The application period is through July 31. Participation is determined by computer-generated random drawings. Applications may not be faxed or e-mailed. Application fees are nonrefundable. Hunters may apply for and participate in, either as hunter or partner, no more than a single

hunt per area, per year. Hunters who fail to adhere to this risk disqualification and forfeiture of their application fee. Drawings will be held for each area and each hunt date in early August for the early waterfowl hunts and in September for all others. Applicants can view the status of their application by visiting the Wild Ohio Customer Care Center at WildOhio.com (click on Manage Your Customer Account and follow the prompts). Hunters chosen to participate will be notified by mail. In addition to instructions for obtaining your permit, you will receive information/rules specific for the hunt. If you are not drawn, you will not receive a refund, nor will you be notified. Unless otherwise noted, hunters are limited to a single deer of either-sex. In those cases where a hunter may take more than one deer, only one deer may be antlered. Hunters may use either the $15 antlerless or $24 either-sex permit. Although the $15 antlerless permits will be valid statewide only through the Sunday following Thanksgiving Day, they may be used during all DOW-controlled hunts throughout the entire 2013-14 season. However, they will only be available to purchase through the Sunday following Thanksgiving Day. Bag limits and tagging requirements apply during all controlled hunts. New for the 2013-14 season, hunters are limited to a SEASON bag limit of NINE deer. However, deer taken during controlled hunts do NOT count against this limit. Hunters may take an additional six deer during DOW-controlled hunts. However, regardless of method of take, season, or hunt, all hunters are limited to a single buck per season. Unless otherwise noted, the adult hunts listed below are partner hunts. At least one of the hunters must be 18 years or older. In the case of the NASA hunts, if one of the hunters is under the age of 18, the other hunter must be 21 years or older. The DOW offers a number of hunts for mobility-impaired hunters. These are NOT partner hunts, unless noted otherwise. Mobilityimpaired hunters must be accompanied by a non-hunting attendant who must possess a current hunting license and deer permit. The DOW is also pleased to offer a number of excellent youth hunting opportunities. To be eligible to participate in a youth hunt, you must be 17 years or younger at the time of application. Youth hunters must be accompanied by a non-hunting adult 18 years or older and unless otherwise noted, the adult must possess a current hunting license and deer permit. To ensure the safety of all participants, adults may not supervise more than two hunters during all youth hunts. Any exceptions to this are noted under the hunt description.

If he cared to look behind him, Jimenez might have reason to be concerned. The biggest name was Woods, already a 4-time winner this year who has been steering his way around Muirfield with mainly irons that go forever on the rock-hard fairways. More ominous is that he is making so many important putts, even if they are for par. There will be no surprise to me if hes picking up the claret jug on Sunday night, said Graeme McDowell, who played with Woods and was seven shots behind. But Im not writing off the rest of the field. Theres quality players here in this field and Im certainly not writing myself off. But if he continues to play the way hes playing, hes going to be tough to beat. Westwood surged to the top of the leaderboard with a 31 on the front nine and one more birdie at the 12th but dropped three shots on the last six holes. Even so, he gave himself another chance to capture his first major in what already is banner sporting year for England. The last Englishman to win the British Open was Nick Faldo in 1992 at Muirfield. Angel Cabrera, among six players who had a share of the lead at one point Friday, dropped five shots over the last three holes for a 72. Even so, he was only two shots behind at 1-under 141 along with Zach Johnson, Martin Laird (71) and Rafael Cabrera-Bello (74). Only nine players remained under par on a course that is playing to an average of just under 75. Jordan Spieth, the 19-year-old Texan, was closing in on the lead until a double bogey on the 15th, followed by two more bogeys that dropped him to a 74. That still was enough to put him in the large group at 1-over 143 that included Mickelson, Masters champion Adam Scott, Bubba Watson, Ian Poulter, Charl Schwartzel and Darren Clarke, who has all but vanished since winning the claret jug two years ago at Royal St. Georges. Clarke had a 71 despite a quadruple-bogey. Most players prefer a firm, fast and fiery golf course. Some of them are starting to feel burned, even Schwartzel, who had a 68. There were 23 players separated by only five shots going into the weekend and 10 of them were major champions. I think its going to be a good test to be able to separate yourself if youre playing well, Mickelson said. The great thing about tomorrow is that now all the players that are in contention will be on the course at the same time. And thats going to be key. Some players wont be around at all. U.S. Open champion Justin Rose shot a 77 and missed the cut. Rory McIlroy shot 40 on the front nine to take himself out of the tournament. He had a 75 for another weekend off in what is becoming a long, troublesome year.

Creamer, Recari, Walsh lead Marathon; Park lurking SYLVANIA Paula Creamer hasnt won an LPGA Tour event in the past three years. Yet the memories of the times she has triumphed always give her a lift when needed most. Creamer, who won the tournament five years ago when it was known as the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic, shared the lead and top-ranked Inbee Park was lurking nearby Friday after the second round of the Marathon Classic. You know when to step on the gas and when not to, she said. When you get a rhythm going out here it kind of takes care of itself. Experience, in any case, takes care of the issues that you have out there. Its just being confident. In the 2008 event, she shot a career-best 11-under 60 in the first round and followed up with a 65, then held off all challengers for a 2-shot victory. With a host of big names bunched high on the leaderboard through 36 holes of the Marathon, she knows she cant put it on cruise control. But she also feels good about her chances. Creamer has won nine times on tour but not since the 2010 U.S. Womens Open. She shot a 3-under 68 on Friday on the heels of an opening 66 to pull even with Alison Walshe and Spains Beatriz Recari at 8-under 134. Recari, who picked up her second career tour win earlier this year, had the days low round with a 65. She climbed from a tie for 19th after opening with a 69. She had made the cut in 46 consecutive tournaments before shooting an 81 in the opening round and missing out on the weekend at the U.S. Womens Open three weeks ago at Sebonack. Recari sounded as if she had mixed feelings about the streak ending. No, I didnt have any weight on my shoulders, she said. I would have loved to continue it and it was a disappointment not to make it. But Ive had some time to reflect and Im actually pleased that it happened because it was a good lesson that I had to learn. Walshe, the first-round leader after a 65, hasnt won in her four years on the LPGA Tour. But she showed some backbone by turning things around after bogeying her first hole on Friday. Jacqui Concolino followed a 67 with a 68 and was alone in fourth, a shot back. The pack at 6 under included the worlds top-ranked pro, Park and topranked amateur, Lydia Ko. They were joined by Chie Arimura. Park is the hottest commodity in the LPGA these days, with six wins already including the first three major championships this year. She had won her last three starts before finishing 14th last week. She finished off a 69 in heat and high humidity at Highland Meadows Golf Club. The 25-year-old South Korean felt pleased with her putting. In other words, the rest of the pack might want to look out. Ko also birdied her final two holes to polish off a 67. The 16-year-old South Korean-born New Zealander, is in prime position to make a run at her second victory on the LPGA Tour. She was the youngest player ever to win a tour event last year at the age of 15 at the Canadian Womens Open, shortly after winning the U.S. Womens Amateur. She easily made the cut in suburban Toledo, her 22nd in 22 starts against professionals. Arimura had a 67. Defending champion So Yeon Ryu (69), rising American star Lexi Thompson (71) and Jodi Ewart Shadoff (68) were all at 5 under Mark Rypien leads American Century Championship STATELINE, Nev. Former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien had an eagle and three birdies Friday to take a 2-point lead after the first round of the American Century Championship. Rypien finished with 27 points at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course under the modified Stableford scoring system that awards graduated points for pars or better. He eagled the par-5 16th, hitting a hybrid club to 8 feet.

There are five 8-lap qualifying events and a 15-lap last-chance race to come up with the 30 competitors (regularly 36 in the Truck Series) who will start the 150-lap race at the Tony Stewart-owned track. The race is broken into three segments of 60, 50 and 40 laps. Set the DVR so the kids can watch the next day. The green flag drops at 9:30 p.m. ET on Speed. I really feel like this is a way for NASCAR to get back to the roots of the sport, analyst Kenny Wallace said. Weve had a lot of fans express their concerns that weve forgotten our roots, country music, Saturday night racing, etc. I just really look at this as a home run, no matter what. Iron Man: NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Josh Wise missed the memo that he should be off this weekend. With a rare break in Cup action, Wise will still line up for some serious action on Sunday in the form of a triathlon. Wise is participating in a 70.3-mile half-Ironman that will include a 1.2-mile swim in Lake Michigan, a 56-mile bike course and a 13.1-mile run in Racine, Wis. Wise has been training for the July 21 event in Racine for about a year. At the most intense part of his training, Wise was swimming five miles, biking 150 miles and running 20 miles per week. In these final days before the race, he will carry a lighter training schedule to allow his body to recover and be in prime condition for Sunday. Ive always trained really hard to be in good shape in the race car and this just added a fun element to that for me and goals for me to set, he said.
Wolff makes full F1 test debut at Silverstone SILVERSTONE, England Showing no signs of exhaustion despite completing the equivalent of almost two grand prix races, Susie Wolff had one final job in the Silverstone heat on Friday. Fresh from her full Formula One test debut, the British driver wanted to dispel any suggestions that she hadnt earned her position at Williams. As a development driver, it is Wolffs job to convince the team she can cut it on the track. And it has nothing to do with her gender. Completing 89 laps of the British Grand Prix circuit was her first big chance to do so on the road to becoming the first female driver on the F1 grid

in almost 40 years. What Wolff wont do is use that landmark to her advantage. Ive been asked that I seem very reluctant to play the female card, the 30-year-old Scot explained. But ultimately a race team is only going to put the best driver they can in their race car. If that has kind of more meaning because I am female, then of course Ill use that to my advantage. But I am not going to play that card as a way of Give me the right now because I am a girl. No, Wolff wants to be judged on her driving ability and speed. To make the F1 grid, she would need to gain a super license which was reported last year to cost 10,000 euros plus 1,000 euros for each subsequent world championship point. Its so bloody expensive, Wolff said. Surely her husband would pay for it, inquired one journalist. That raised the issue of Toto Wolff, the former executive director of Williams, who recently left to join rival Mercedes as motorsport director. I pay for my own racing stuff, she stressed, before tackling the issue head on: There are so many questions and people saying Im only where I am because of him. Make no qualms: he supports me a lot. Im incredibly lucky to have him as a husband because theres not many guys who would support their wives going into Formula One but ultimately, the team had the decision about who was driving today. He had nothing to do with that and he just wanted to come as a husband, not the position he is in. In front of more than 7,000 spectators, she set the ninth-fastest lap of 1 minute, 35.093 seconds. F1 championship leader Sebastian Vettel set the pace, with a lap of 1:32.894. Wolff started racing at the age of 8 after her parents bought her and her brother karts. Her early success led her to Formula Renault, the British F3 Racing Series and then, in 2006, she joined Mercedes-Benz as one of its drivers for the German Touring Car Championship. Her high point in DTM came in 2010 when she became the first woman in 20 years to finish twice in the points before focusing on breaking into F1. Not since Italian driver Lella Lombardi in 1976 has a woman raced in F1. Giovanna Amati was given an opportunity by the Brabham team in 1992 but squandered three chances to qualify. Wolff will assess later in the year what her prospects are of getting a spot into the driver line-up. Formula One championship leader Sebastian Vettel was the fastest on the final day of a special in-season testing session with new tires. The 3-time defending series champion completed 78 laps in his Red Bull at Silverstone on Friday during the tire test sanctioned by the sports rulers to quash the threat of a revolt by teams.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Poor eating habits and a lack of exercise could be at the base of your sluggishness. Analyze your lifestyle honestly, and do something about the flaws that you find. Monday, July 22 Several new alliances are likely to be developed in the year ahead, and each will overlap and intermingle with the others. All will be of value to you in many different but extremely constructive ways. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Hastily committing yourself to an agreement isnt likely to serve your best interests, so stop and think about what it is youre saying before you open your mouth. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you allow a matter of some importance to be brushed aside, it could create a new series of problems that will only compound your recent difficulties. Stop procrastinating and tackle problems head-on. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Youll be more inclined to take risks today, which could cause you to get involved in a project that has only a very slim chance of success. Make sure that you can live with the consequences if it fails. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Usually, youre not easily intimidated by others, yet today you might do something against your better judgment due to peer pressure. Be careful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although you might be able to get your points across quite easily, it doesnt mean theyll be well-received. You could make your case and create enemies simultaneously. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be on guard when it comes to contributing financially to something, even if it involves close friends. You could suffer a loss, along with everyone else, and relationships could be damaged. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you decide to get involved in a competitive situation, dont underestimate your opposition. To be on the safe side, assume your challenger to be a worthy one. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There is a strong possibility that you might have to deal with a few responsibilities that wont be to your liking. Unfortunately, they will be things you simply cant ignore. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Unless you are discriminating about the company you keep, you could easily find yourself drawn into a situation that could bring nothing but trouble. Choose your pals wisely. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be honest with yourself about whether or not you deliberately drew someone into a situation that has ended up causing him or her problems. Only virtuous intentions can be excused. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont say anything to someone in confidence that you would not want relayed to other people. If you say something unkind, youd better believe that it will be shouted on the rooftops for everyone to hear. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -There is a possibility that you could expect more from others than they are prepared to give or you would be prepared to give them, especially when it comes to material matters. This attitude is self-defeating.
Distributed by Universal UClick for UFS

HI AND LOIS

Your talent and imagination are likely to take you right to the top in your field of endeavor in the coming months. Strive to use these gifts with every ounce of commitment that you have Sunday, July 21 CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Have fun and enjoy yourself, but not at the expense of others. If you singe anyones fingers in your quest for happiness, your pleasure will quickly turn sour. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even though major accomplishments are possible, you might still fall short of your mark. Self-doubts could overwhelm you if youre fool enough to believe them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Be fair in your dealings with others, but dont go overboard by making self-penalizing concessions. Theres nothing wrong with expecting good things to happen for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -This should be a rewarding day as long as you dont do anything at the last minute to take the edge off your victory. Its not smart to alter something thats working so well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Just because conditions in general tend to favor you today, that doesnt mean you should lower your guard. If you do, your fragile success might collapse. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Theres no need for you to embellish your achievements. Should you do something worthy of praise, the events will speak loudly for themselves and the accolades will be justified. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont be stingy in involvements with your friends. Yet, by the same token, dont think that you have to break the bank in order to win acceptance. Let moderation be your watchword. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its OK to be proud of your achievements when speaking to your friends, but dont call a project finished when you still have abundant loose ends that must be tied down. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) In order to appease family and friends today, you might feel obligated to promise them much more than you can deliver. Its best to be honest with both them and yourself. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Even if asked, it might not be too wise to advise a friend on how s/he should handle a financial matter. Although youll mean well, your suggestion could make matters worse. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont make the mistake of trying to force your opinions on someone who doesnt want to hear them. Something that you feel strongly about might nonetheless be totally wrong for your listener.

Obama says Martin could have been me

BY JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) In a rare and public reflection on race, President Barack Obama called on the nation Friday to do some soul searching over the death of Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of his shooter, saying the slain black teenager could have been me 35 years ago. Empathizing with the pain of many black Americans, Obama said the case conjured up a hard history of racial injustice that doesnt go away. Obamas personal comments, in a surprise appearance in the White House press room, marked his most extensive discussion of race as president. For Obama, who has written about his own struggles with racial identity but often has shied away from the subject in office, the speech signaled an unusual embrace of his standing as the nations first black president and the longing of many African-Americans for him to give voice to their experiences. When you think about why, in the African- American community at least, theres a lot of pain around what happened here, I think its important to recognize that the African- American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesnt go away, Obama said during his 20-minute remarks. A Florida jury last week acquitted George Zimmerman of all charges in the February 2012 shooting of Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old. The verdict was cheered by those who agreed that Zimmerman was acting in self-defense, while others protested the outcome, believing Zimmerman had targeted Martin because he was black. Despite his emotional comments on the case, the president appeared to signal that the Justice Department was unlikely to file federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman. Traditionally, he said, these are issues of state and local government, and he warned that the public should have clear expectations. Following the verdict, some civil rights leaders called on Obama to lead a national conversation on race. But the president has resisted. Before Friday, his only comment on the verdict had been a written statement in which he called Martins death a tragedy and appealed for calm. But throughout the week, the president kept track of the national response to the verdict, particularly by black Americans, and had discussions with his family, aides said. He was ready to address the verdict earlier this week during a round of interviews with Spanish language television stations, but the matter never came up. On Thursday, he told his senior advisers that he felt the country needed to hear from him not in an interview or speech, just a frank discussion of his views and experiences. He spoke from the podium in the White House briefing room with no notes. Even as the president urged the public to accept the verdict once the jurys spoken, thats how our system works he gave voice to the feelings held by many angered by the jurys decisions. Theres a sense, Obama said, that if a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, that, from top to bottom, both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different. The president spoke emotionally about Martins parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, saying they had displayed incredible grace and dignity. He never mentioned the feelings of Zimmerman, whose brother has said the former defendant has faced numerous death threats. Martins parents released a statement following the remarks, saying, President Obama sees himself in Trayvon and identifies with him. This is a beautiful tribute to our boy. Zimmermans brother, Robert, also welcomed the presidents remarks, telling Fox News that the American people need to have some time to digest what really happened and to do that soul searching the president spoke of. Despite that fact that Obamas race has been central to the narrative of his political rise, he has rarely addressed the matter as a public figure. He last spoke about race in a substantial way as a presidential candidate in 2008 in addressing criticism over incendiary comments made by his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. In 2009, Obama stumbled when commenting on the arrest of a black Harvard professor in the professors home, saying the police acted stupidly. The president was forced to retract his statement, then held an awkward beer summit at the White House with the professor, Henry Louis Gates, and the white arresting officer. But on Friday, Obama spoke poignantly about the distrust that shadows many African-American men, saying that they can draw nervous stares on elevators and hear car locks clicking when they walk down the street. There are very few African-American men in this country who havent had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store, he said. That includes me. In a departure from his typical caution on legal matters, the president also waded into the thorny debates on racial profiling and Floridas Stand Your Ground law, despite the fact that neither was formally raised during Zimmermans trial. Obama said it would be useful to examine some state and local laws to see if they are designed in such a way that they may encourage the kinds of confrontation that led to Martins death. He questioned whether a law that sends the message that someone who is armed has the right to use those firearms even if there is a way for them to exit from a situation really promotes peace and security.

House votes to replace No Child education law

WASHINGTON (AP) House Republicans voted Friday to dismantle the troubled No Child Left Behind law for evaluating Americas students and schools, saying states and local school districts rather than Washington should be setting rules for ensuring that kids are getting good educations. The legislation would eliminate federally required testing of students, which has been controversial from the start. But the measure passed with no Democratic support and drew a veto threat from the Obama administration, which said it would be a step backward in efforts to better prepare children for colleges and careers and to bring improvements to low-performing schools. Democrats in the Senate, where they hold the majority, are working on their own bill. It would also give states greater flexibility in designing school improvement standards. But it would maintain the authority of the federal education secretary to approve those plans. A Senate vote on that legislation is unlikely until autumn. The House bill, which Republicans named the Student Success Act and Democrats dubbed the Letting Students Down Act, passed 221-207, with every Democrat, and 12 Republicans voting against it. That partisanship comes against a background in which nearly everyone agrees that No Child Left Behind, while achieving some successes in improving achievement levels, is too inflexible and needs a major overhaul. The law was passed by Congress in 2001, a bipartisan effort led by, among others, current House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass. President George W. Bush was a strong supporter and signed it into law in early 2002. It required that all students be able to read and do math at their actual grade level by 2014. But the Obama administration, in a tacit acknowledgement that the goal was unattainable, last year began offering waivers to states that came up with their own federally approved plans to prepare students for college and careers and to measure student and teacher performance. To date, 39 states and the District of Columbia have been granted waivers.

New Ford system helps warn police of approaches Boat rolls backward
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) Police could soon be getting some extra backup from their cars. Ford Motor Co. has a new surveillance system for police cars that automatically sounds a chime, locks the doors and puts up the windows if it detects someone approaching the car from behind. The system which Ford is patenting is the first of its kind. Its like insurance. You hope you never need it. But if you do, it gives the officer a few extra seconds of warning, says Marc Ellison, vice president of operations at Auburn, Calif.-based InterMotive Inc., which helped Ford develop it. Backup cameras and sensors usually only work when a car is in reverse. The new system, dubbed Surveillance Mode, allows an officer to use them while the car is parked. An image from the backup camera is beamed onto the rearview mirror, so the officer can keep an eye on the rear of the car. If someone comes too close, four sensors on the rear bumper will detect them. The system works during the day and at night, when officers are often the most vulnerable. It can be turned off if officers are in high traffic areas with a lot of pedestrians. InterMotive sells Surveillance Mode for $248.33 as a standalone option. Its $75 when part of a package of other options, including a dimmer for interior lights if the officer doesnt want to be seen and a system that automatically turns down the radio if a call comes in over two-way radio. If a police car doesnt have a backup camera, the system just uses the sensors. The company said it anticipates that the system will eventually be available to consumers. Surveillance Mode is the brainchild of Randy Freiburger, a Ford engineer who works with police and ambulance customers to make sure the companys vehicles are meeting their needs. He got the idea last August while accompanying Yoon Nam, a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. Nam was asked to respond to a report of a possible drug offense in a gritty area of Compton, Calif. She told Freiburger to stay in the car and radio for help if he needed it while she went to talk to the suspect. When the suspect took off running and Nam followed him, Freiburger found himself alone, with another sus(Continued from page 1) pect approaching him. Nam tried not to lose sight of Freiburger, and she radioed for help. Both suspects were eventually caught and convicted of drug crimes. But a shaken Freiburger wanted to help make police feel less vulnerable when theyre on patrol. No one keeps track of the number of police officers killed each year in their cars, but its not uncommon for criminals to target officers there, says Steve Groeninger, a spokesman for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. In 2011, Virginia Tech police officer Deriek Crouse was fatally shot in his parked patrol car at close range while conducting a traffic stop on campus. Earlier this year, Massachusetts Institute of Technology officer Sean Collier was also killed in his cruiser, allegedly by the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings. Nam, who has since been promoted to a detective, says she would often work alone when she was on patrols. When she was making traffic stops, or had a suspect detained in her vehicle, the suspects friends or family members would frequently approach her car. Were trained to look up and look around at all times, but having that extra feature in the vehicle would help, she said. Police are already helping improve the system. Ellison says InterMotive plans an upgrade that will make the brake lights automatically come on when someone is approaching based on comments from an officer who was testing it. No cars with the new system had been sold as of mid-July, but Ford hopes it will give police departments another reason to consider its cars. Ford dominated the police market for decades with the Crown Victoria sedan, but it lost some sales after it discontinued the rear-wheel-drive Crown Victoria in 2011 and replaced it with all-wheel-drive police vehicles based on the Taurus sedan and Explorer SUV. Some departments that prefer rear-wheel-drive cars for their speed in chases have switched to the Dodge Charger or Chevrolet Caprice. Spokespeople for Dodge and Chevrolet said they arent yet offering systems like Fords. None of the companys would reveal their current share of the police car market. SANDUSKY (AP) A boat on a ride at an Ohio amusement park has accidentally rolled backward down a hill, injuring all seven people on it. The Cedar Point amusement park says operators stopped the Shoot the Rapids ride Friday evening after the accident, which occurred on the rides first hill. It says park police, medical technicians, ride operators and park visitors helped passengers off the boat.

at Cedar Point; 7 hurt

Cedar Point officials wont say how the boat landed after rolling downhill. They say six of the seven boat passengers have been treated at the park and released and the other has been taken to a hospital for evaluation. Cedar Point is in Sandusky, along Lake Erie between Cleveland and Toledo. It bills itself as the best amusement park in the world. The accident is being investigated.

Challenge

Brown

We thought the Challenge would draw seven or eight teams, Schwieterman said. This turned our slowest time of the year into our busiest day of the year. It was amazing, before the weigh-in this past Monday we had 16 teams, Doyle said excitedly. By Monday at 5 p.m., there was an explosion of people and we had 20 teams, which was my ultimate goal. At this time, there are 21 teams signed up for the event comprised of individuals who are fire fighters, secretaries, restaurant staff and office staff. There is plenty of room for more groups. The cost to register a

group of four is $99, which will allow each team member a nine week membership with access to Zumba, Kick Boxing, strength training and fat burning classes; personal training and life coach sessions; and access to exercise equipment. Schwieterman said that due to the incredible response, the first place team winnersthose who lose the most weightwill receive $1000 for their charity. Individuals who lose the most weight will also be celebrated with the winners in first, second and third places receiving, in consecutive order, $500 for their personal use, a free one-year membership to Peak 24 Hour Fitness and a choice of one pair of ath-

letic shoes. Doyle said the staff at Peak are busy working with the new members getting them scheduled for MRTs (metabolism re-training). On the nutritional side of the program, participates are encouraged to list 20 foods they love to eat with the goal of integrating those foods into their diet. Each participant also has access to personalized mini-life coaching sessions where they will gain social and emotional advice to help them achieve their goals. Peak Personal Trainer Michael Trentman said it is easy for people who just start going to the gym to get frustrated. They tend to muddle through it when they have

not been educated on fitness and dont know what to do, Trentman detailed. We work from three fronts; nutrition, exercise and movement and cardio. We want to help people make wise, healthy decisions and remove the barriers to their success, Doyle explained. Doyle said by following the program exactly as prescribed, members get the results they want. Team and individual winners of the Community Charity Weight Loss Challenge will be announced during the Canal Days festivities on Sept. 21. For more information, contact Peak 24 Hour Fitness at 419-695-7325.

He came on board at the BBB in 1994 and has remained there ever since. I took the position at the BBB because in looking at the duties needed to perform the job, I realized they fit every thing else I had done in life. I had been in the retail business, worked in industry, broadcasting, and public relations, Winget aid. All of the skills I learned in these areas came in very handy at the BBB. He also said he expected to be at the BBB for about 10 years and then retire, but that 10 turned into nearly 20. Its the best job I ever had because it was a way I could help people in a very direct way, he said. Wingets retirement will take effect on July 31. He will be replaced by the current BBB Branch Manager, Cheryl Parson, who has been with the BBB since 1996. Her new title will be president of the BBB, West Central Ohio Branch.

(Continued from page 4)

Since 2007, Ive convened more than 215 roundtables across Ohios 88 counties, listening to community and business leaders, workers, and entrepreneurs on ways to strengthen our economy. A theme that developed early on was that despite high unemployment, employers are having a hard time finding workers with the skills necessary to fill the available jobs. As a result, job openings in high-growth industries, like healthcare, clean energy, and biosciences, and even the manufacturing sector, are going unfilled. According to Forbes, Ohio ranks 10th per capita in the nation among states expecting the biggest looming skilled labor shortage due, in part, to an aging population and limited workforce training resources. The skills gap exists especially for careers in high-tech fields. This

gap denies workers new opportunities they deserve and undermines our nations economic competitiveness. It also limits our states ability to attract new jobs and businesses. In response to the stories I heard during my early roundtables throughout Ohio about the need to close the skills gap, I first introduced the Strengthening Employment Clusters to Organize Regional Success (SECTORS) in 2008. Last week, I reintroduced it with Senator Susan Collins (R-ME). The SECTORS Act creates partnerships between educators, industry, and workforce training boards to ensure that workers have the right skills to get hired in high-tech, emerging industries with good-paying jobs. If were going to attract new employers, we need to ensure that local workforce development efforts support the needs of local industries. Thats what this bill does.

It means community colleges, whether its Cincinnati State, TriC, Zane State, and Sinclair State or Rhodes State, and workforce investment boards, industry, and labor, working together to serve local needs. We know economic development and workforce skills training go hand-in-hand. Weve seen this in Youngstown with NAMII. When the skilled workers are there, more investments follow. Its not only good for businesses; this legislation is also important for Ohio families. America has a unique opportunity to address the skills gap that prevents hardworking Americanslike Daniel Brewerfrom finding good jobs and prohibits eager-to-grow companies from hiring the skilled workers needed to expand. We close the skills gap by going directly to the source of Ohios economic might: our skilled workers and innovative businesses.
