DELPHOS In the past 11 years, Mike and Sandy Gray have both
been diagnosed with cancer and taken on the roles of cancer survivor and
caregiver.

ALCO shoppers
share memories

DELPHOS ALCO shoppers
were greeted Monday by a Closing
Salesigndrapedacrosstheentrance,
adding greater substance to the news
the retailer will no longer be around
comeSeptember.
For a little over 16 years, ALCO
has provided daily necessities and
employment opportunity within easy
driving or walking distance to the
Delphos community. The store cur-
rently supports 15 employees and
provides everything from clothing,
toys and sports equipment to food
and home decor. The reasons given
for ALCO closing its doors are an
increase in lease payments, a refusal
by the landlord to renew the lease or
makebuildingrepairsandjustgeneral
strain from the state of the economy
onALCO Stores, Inc. No matter the
reasons for the closure, the Delphos
communitywillfeeltheloss.
Local ALCO shoppers took some
timetosharefavoritememories.
Being a former employee, I saw
first-hand just how many customers
usedALCOastheirgo-tostore;they
wouldnt even think of going out of
town for something. Yes, there are a
few other stores but ALCO was one
of those stores where you could find
something you couldnt find any-
where else. Numerous times I found
myself checking there for a hard-to-
find item and there it was. Ill miss
the small-town friendliness of the
store andwish they would just move
toadifferentlocationinDelphosbut
unfortunately, it doesnt sound like
thatsgoingtohappen.
BrittanyTucker
I think its really going to hurt
Delphos, especially the elderly
because some of them dont feel
comfortable driving out of town to
get their necessities. Sometimes, you

A Closing Sale sign was hung over Alcos entrance on Monday,

McDreamy part of all-American team at Le Mans
Associated Press
The only all-American lineup at the 24
Hours of Le Mans might very well be the
one that draws the most interest from non-
racing fans.
The No. 77 Dempsey Del Piero-Proton
Porsche will be headlined by Patrick
Dempsey you know, McDreamy of
Greys Anatomy fame. He is joining co-
drivers Joe Foster and Patrick Long in the
GTE Am division and driving a Porsche 911
GT3 RSR.
I think anybody whos a road racer wants
to race here, Dempsey said. Having done
it in the past and coming back and doing
it with an all-American driver lineup with
Patrick Long and Joe Foster with a great
team at Proton-Dempsey-Del Piero, its a
tremendous honor. It means everything to us
and its humbling, its exciting, its inspira-
tional and its so moving to be a part of this
event. Its a dream come true to come back
here.
It will be the actors second time com-
peting in the endurance race in Le Mans,
France, but this time he appears to have a
legitimate shot at a class victory.
The 47-year-old Dempsey shared a Ferrari
at Le Mans in 2009 with Foster, his motors-
ports business partner. New to the entry this
year is Long, a 2-time Le Mans winner mak-
ing his 10th start in the race. Long turned the
third-fastest lap in class during the one-day
Le Mans pre-test earlier this month.
The team was also buoyed by its second-
place result at Laguna Seca last month in
Dempseys last outing. The team appeared
poised to win until co-driver Andy Lally was
passed for the class lead following a restart
on the final lap of the 4-hour race.
To be considered a contender has
Dempsey on the cusp of what once seemed
to be an unreachable goal.
We would sit around the kitchen or in
the trailer dreaming about when wed go
to Le Mans and getting on the podium, he
said. This has always been a dream and
a goal. So to come back here it was a
dream come true and a turning point in my
life to have done it in 2009 and I havent had
a win yet, and I would love to if I could get
my first win to be at Le Mans. It would just
be so, so special. It would be deeply moving
certainly. I know the drivers on the team can
do it.
It will be Longs first race teaming with
Dempsey and Foster. He was a late addition
to the team in place of Dempsey Del Piero
team principal Michael Avenatti, whose
business commitments outside of racing pre-
vented him from competing at Le Mans. But
it didnt take him long to feel comfortable
with the team assembled.
Once Patrick and Joe got in the car and
picked it up really quickly, I started to feel
really positive about our chances, Long
said. That was sort of capped off by the test
that we had just two weeks ago.
Dempsey has been an active participant
in sports car racing now for nearly a decade,
and Long has been impressed by his progress.
He definitely is underrated, Long
added. Ive watched him and Joe partner
up and go very seriously at racing a little bit
from a distance. Working alongside him has
certainly been a different experience. Hes a
very intense competitor, very focused. What
I underestimated was his fitness. We went
testing in (in Italy) and the team was worn
out. They were looking at me. Ive run with
them previously over here in Europe and
they were like, Were out of tires; were
out of fuel. Im like, This guy still wants
to drive and hes here to put the numbers up
and not just show up and look the part.
DOUBLE DUTY: Brian Vickers has a
lot of road in front of him this weekend as
the only driver attempting double duty in the
Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series races.
Vickers is scheduled to run the Nationwide
race on Saturday at Road America for Joe
Gibbs Racing before heading West to Sonoma,
Calif., for the Cup race in a Michael Waltrip
Racing entry on Sunday.
Im looking forward to both of them,
said Vickers. Its going to take a little dif-
ferent mentality and technique going from
Road America which is a little bit faster
place to Sonoma, which is a slower, more
technical road race, but Im up for the chal-
lenge and excited.
In the past, most Cup drivers have spent
the majority of their time in Sonoma and
flew to the Nationwide race just in time for
the start. Vickers, though, will spend most
of the weekend in Wisconsin with JGR as
he focuses on his Nationwide effort. Hes
currently 10th in the championship race, 100
points behind leader Regan Smith.
Jason Bowles will drive MWRs No. 55
for him at Sonoma in practice and qualifying
and Vickers will have to start at the back of
the field when he arrives Sunday. Vickers was
able to find a silver lining in knowing hell
start at the back.
I think theres opportunities at Sonoma to
get to do a little bit different pit strategy, he
added. Knowing that you dont really have
track position to protect kind of can create
opportunities. Weve been there in the past
where weve had either bad qualifying or
something happened during the race and we
had to come in and pit or penalties on pit road,
like last year we had the penalty on pit road
and had to go to the back and we worked our
way back up to fourth, but as much as it hurt
us, it also created opportunities.
ROUGH STRETCH FOR YACAMAN:
Its been a rough few weeks for Gustavo
Yacaman, the Grand-AM Series driver who
was placed on 2-race probation by series
officials for his involvement in various inci-
dents during the June 1 race in Detroit.
His first stint back on the track since the
hand-slapping couldnt have gone any worse.
Alvarez drives in 5, Pirates beat Reds 5-3
BY JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI Pedro Alvarez hasnt changed any-
thing in June, except those RBI numbers. Theyre way up
there, just like the Pirates.
Alvarez drove in all of Pittsburghs runs with a solo
homer, bases-loaded double and a single on Thursday for
a 5-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and a split of their
high-profile NL Central series.
The Pirates remain a half-game behind second-place
Cincinnati after the 4-game set, keeping them virtu-
ally shoulder-to-shoulder as they chase the torrid St. Louis
Cardinals.
After blowing a 1-run lead in the ninth and losing 2-1
in 13 innings on Wednesday night, Pittsburgh salvaged a
game behind Alvarez and a bullpen running on fumes.
We needed a big day from a number of people today
and Pedro was one of them, manager Clint Hurdle said.
There was no bigger swing than with the bases loaded,
left-on-left. Beautiful.
Alvarez had an RBI single and his 16th homer off
Homer Bailey, who couldnt follow his no-hitter against
Pittsburgh with a win. After Alfredo Simon (5-3) loaded
the bases in the seventh, Alvarez doubled off left-hander
Tony Cingrani to snap a 2-all tie.
The five RBIs were a season high for a Pirate and one
shy of Alvarezs career high. The third baseman has been
Pittsburghs top run producer in June, leading the team
with 48 RBIs overall.
Its quite a change. Alvarez .180 in April and .225 in
May before finding his form. He has six homers in June,
second-most in the NL.
I just think its repetition and getting the opportunity
to go out and try to gain as much experience as I can from
every day out there, Alvarez said.
Bryan Morris (4-2) contributed to the go-ahead rally
with his first career single. He also pitched two innings,
allowing one run. Left-hander Tony Watson pitched the last
two innings for his second save in three chances.
The Pirates lead the season series 6-4, holding their
own early in the season despite a rotation thats sapped
by injuries and a lineup that strikes out a lot and wasted
chances. Under the circumstances, the way the series ended
was satisfying.
We dont expect anything less, Morris said. Its
good to not lose any ground. Definitely would have loved
to have three out of four in the series but were not com-
plaining about the split, especially after the hard game last
night.
Jay Bruce hit another solo homer, his third of the series
and his fifth in seven games. His ninth-inning shot off
Jason Grilli led the way to the draining 13-inning win on
Wednesday night.
The teams combined for seven homers in the series, all
solo shots. Cincinnati hit four in a 4-1 win that opened it.
Brandon Cumpton made his second major-league start
for Pittsburgh, giving up two runs one earned in five
innings.
Herron, Binkley combine on 3-hitter as Cats down Dogs
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Jordan Herron and Hunter
Binkley combined on a 3-hit shutout on a
beautiful late-spring Thursday night, lead-
ing Jeffersons ACME summer baseball
team to a 5-0 victory over Columbus
Grove at Wildcat Field.
Herron went six innings and ceded
all three hits, walking three and fanning
four in his 79-pitch effort (55 for strikes).
Binkley threw an inning of spotless relief
in the seventh.
The Bulldogs had their best threat in
the top of the first, getting a 1-out walk
to Riley Brubaker and an infield hit by
Mason Smith. However, Herron fanned
the next two.
Jefferson got the only run it would need
in the home half of the first off Grove
starter Brubaker (3 innings, 4 hits, 3 earned
runs, 2 BBs, 2 Ks). Zavier Buzard (3-for-3,
2 runs, 3 stolen bases) led off with a tough-
hop single past shortstop Joshua Verhoff
and stole second. However, he was tagged
out at third when he got too far off second
on Jace Stockwells (2-for-4, 2 runs, 1 run
batted in) comebacker. Ross Thompson
(2-for-4, 2 RBIs, 1 run, 2 doubles) doubled
to center and Austin Jettinghoff grounded
out to short to plate Stockwell. A wild
pitch advanced Thompson to third. Tyler
Talboom walked and stole second but both
runners remained on base.
Grove had another challenge in the sec-
ond as Ryan Verhoff singled and advanced
on a balk. Zach Brinkman walked. An out
later, Herron picked Verhoff off second
and the next batter popped up.
Elisha Jones got aboard via an error
to open the Grove third, advanced on a
groundout by Brubaker and went to third
on an error on a pickoff try with two outs.
However, Herron induced the next batter
to ground out.
The Wildcats went up 3-0 in the home
half. Buzard walked, stole second and
went to third on Stockwells bunt single.
Stockwell burgled second and both came
in on Thompsons doubled to deep center.
Thompson had a 1-out steal of third but
went no farther.
Marcos Olivo doubled to open the
Bulldog fourth and stood on third courtesy
of Verhoffs sacrifice bunt but couldnt get
him home.
Jefferson got a leadoff single by Herron
in the fourth against reliever Smith (3
IPs, 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned, 2 BBs, 1 K),
advanced on a 1-out groundout by Adam
Rode and went to third on a blooper to
short center by Buzard. However, the
Wildcat left them stranded.
Delphos made it 4-0 in the fifth.
Thompson got aboard to commence the
fifth on an error, stole second and went to
third on an error on the play. Jettinghoff
walked and stole second and Tyler Rice
walked to load the bases. Thompson
scored on Binkleys sacrifice fly to left.
Jettinghoff was forced at third on Herrons
comebacker and Smith retired the next
batter.
With one down in the Bulldog sixth,
Joshua Verhoff walked but Olivo bounced
into a 4-6-3 twin-killing.
The Red and White added its fifth tally
in the home half. With one gone, Buzard
beat out an infield hit to short, swiped
second and scored on Stockwells sinking
liner to right; an error on the play put the
batter at second. A fly ball to center by
Thompson put Stockwell at third but he
was left there.
Jefferson will next play at St. Johns
4 p.m. Monday (originally scheduled for
today).

DEAR DOCTOR K: I hurt my
toe and now the nail has turned
black. What can I do?
DEAR READER: Ouch -- Ive
been there. A couple of years ago I
was outdoors and turned around to
walk in the opposite direction, and
boom! My big toe hit a lamppost.
At least my toe got there before my
face did.
A day or two later the toenail
was black and blue, and the day
after that it hurt a lot. What I had,
and what you probably have, is
blood under the nail, a condition
called subungual hematoma.
Treatment for a subungual
hematoma involves relieving
pressure by draining the blood
trapped under the nail. I vividly
remember the first time I learned
how to do it, as an intern in the
emergency room. The patient was
a weekend carpenter who had
hammered a nail, but it wasnt a
metal nail: It was the nail on his
left thumb.
My supervising physician told
me to unbend a paperclip, and
to heat the sharp end and push it
through the mans thumbnail to
burn a hole in the nail. I replied:
What is this, the 15th century?
Thats barbaric! My supervisor
smiled and told me, Youll
remember this learning experience
for a long time, and your patient
will be grateful. And I have, and
he was.
Before the supervisor
accompanied me into the patients
room, he gave me one more piece
of advice: Explain what youll be
doing, but dont explain exactly
how youll be doing it.
I explained to the patient the
need to let the trapped blood out
to relieve the pressure by making
a hole in the nail. It would hurt
for a second, but then hed feel
better. I asked the patient to lie
down on the exam table with his
head turned to the right, and his
left thumb on the table, just next
to his head. Then I heated the tip
of the paperclip until it was orange
and said, OK, here goes. Then I
pushed the hot paperclip through
the nail and blood spurted out. The
patient shouted Hey! and I said,
OK, its done. A minute later:
Doctor, thank you. That feels so
much better.
Ive subsequently met some
mothers who tell me theyve
done this with their kids -- having
learned it when their mothers
did it to them. But I dont advise
doing it yourself. Sometimes large
hematomas that turn the whole nail
black and blue can mean the toe or
finger is fractured, and a tetanus
shot may be needed.
Unfortunately, your nail injury
is likely to be noticeable until
the damaged nail grows out. For
toenails, this can take about four
months; fingernails usually regrow
completely in about two months.
If youve injured the base of your
nail, some cosmetic changes may
be permanent. But the pain will be
gone, as the result of a barbaric
but effective treatment.

A family can manage quite well
using their oven less to save money.
Try using a wok, toaster oven,
microwave, electric skillet, George
Foreman grill or slow cooker more
often. You can get creative with
appliances such as waffle irons
(brownies and corn bread) and
rice cookers (stews, macaroni and
cheese), too. For more than 200
rice cooker recipes, visit aroma-
housewares.com.
The first reader tip shares a
couple more ideas:
Alternative to using the oven:
I use the outdoor grill for cooking
instead of the oven. I also have a
couple of Nesco roasters: a 6-quart
and an 18-quart. The 6-quart is great
for making stews, soups and chili,
and it will also hold a loaf pan, so
that uses less energy than using the
stovetop or oven. The 18-quart will
hold up to a 13-by-9 baking dish, so
I take it out on my porch to plug in
and use instead of using the oven.
Roasters dont heat the house up as
much as the oven, so the a/c doesnt
have to work as hard to keep the
house cool. -- Q.M., Florida
Grow potatoes in barrels/garbage
can: I have potatoes planted now
in half barrels. I planted them 3 to
6 inches above the bottom of the
barrel and covered them with soil.
After the plant shows above the
soil, you cover it with another 3 to 6
inches of soil. You can do this over
and over in a large container.
Before planting the seed potatoes,
cut them into pieces with an eye in
each piece. Let them air dry for a
couple of days, then plant. After
the plant dies, you harvest them. It
takes 10 to 16 weeks, depending on
the season and the variety you are
growing. I planted mine in mid-
February and they should be ready
in mid-June. Google growing
potatoes or contact your local
Master Gardeners program or
extension office if you need more
info. -- Birdie, California
Added laundry scent: For those
who like extra scents in your
laundry but are concerned about the
ingredients in some of the scented
crystal laundry products, use Epsom
salt and your favorite essential oil to
create the scented crystals. You can
add it to loads with your regular
detergent or mix it with your dry
homemade version. The Epsom salt
has the added effect of softening the
water. -- B.N., email

8th grader
unsure of how to
comfort friend
Dear Annie: I am in mid-
dle school, and a girl on my
softball team was the victim
of a terrible incident. Her
dad was killed in a car crash
caused by a drunk driver. She
has been heartbroken ever
since.
I constantly wonder if I
can do anything to help her.
I hate it when people are
sad. Should I do
anything besides
comfort her with
words? Should I
give her some kind
of gift? Everyone
else seems to be
doing just that. Or
should I just not do
anything? Be-
wildered Eighth
Grader
Dear Bewil-
dered: You are
a kind and sym-
pathetic soul. Please dont
buy her a gift. It would seem
like some kind of consola-
tion prize and would not ease
her pain. Its important not
to minimize her grief by try-
ing to prevent her from being
unhappy. She is going to be
sad for a long time, and this
is normal. Her family also is
likely going through many
adjustments.
Just let her know that you
are sorry about her father, and
if she wants to talk about any-
thing, you will listen. If she
confdes in you, its OK to
cry with her. She may behave
differently for a while she
could be sad or angry, or want
to be alone or surround her-
self with friends. Try to treat
her as normally as possible.
You dont want her to feel as
if people are overly focused
on her grief. In time, she will
learn to cope.
Dear Annie: My friends
and I received a text mes-
sage from Carrie inviting
us to a birthday party that she
is giving herself and asking
us to bring a dish. That part
was fne. But she added a
P.S., saying shed rather have
money than presents so she
can buy herself a bike. Carrie
went into a long explanation
about why she wants the bike
and that shed appreciate our
contributions.
Some of my friends think
this is terrible, and others say
she is just being honest. What
do you think? Still Car-
ries Friend
Dear Friend: We are
never in favor of invitations
that dictate what gift people
should buy. It removes all
of the incentive to put effort
into fnding something that
shows you are thinking of
her. Instead, this party has
turned into a fundraiser. It
also means Carrie will know
exactly what you spent on
her, which can be embarrass-
ing. Such a request is in poor
taste, although we are certain
some guests will be relieved
that they dont have to search
for a thoughtful gift. Comply-
ing is up to individual guests.
You are not obligated to con-
tribute.
Dear Annie: I am a clini-
cal psychologist and past
president of the Connecti-
cut Psychological Associa-
tion. I believe you missed
the call in regard to the let-
ter from Big Sis,
who is worried
about her under-
weight 7-year-old
niece, Andrea.
The girls mother
claims Andrea is
obese and restricts
her food. The girl
is sick all the time
and so fearful of
her mother that she
is afraid to eat. This
could have serious
and dangerous im-
plications for Andrea. What
is being described here ap-
pears to be Munchausen syn-
drome by proxy.
This parent is likely caus-
ing Andrea to display the
symptoms of an eating dis-
order in order to gain for
herself attention, sympathy
and a sense of control and
importance. Andrea needs
the immediate help of a phy-
sician and a licensed men-
tal health professional. Her
mother is in serious need of
psychotherapy. Please use
your column to educate your
readers about this potentially
fatal syndrome. Michael
Schwarzchild, Ph.D., Dan-
bury, Conn.
Dear Dr. Schwarzchild:
Thank you for your take on
this. MSP involves a parent
or caregiver who deliber-
ately exaggerates, lies about
or actually creates physical
or psychological problems
in a child in order to gain at-
tention. It is a form of child
abuse, as well as a mental
health disorder, although
highly controversial.

Stocks extend slide as China adds to worries
NEW YORK (AP) For investors,
there was no place to go on Thursday.
A day after the Federal Reserve roiled
Wall Street when it said it could reduce
its aggressive economic stimulus pro-
gram later this year, financial markets
around the world plunged. A slowdown
in Chinese manufacturing and reports of
a squeeze in the worlds second-biggest
economy heightened worries.
The global selloff began in Asia and
quickly spread to Europe and then the
U.S., where the Dow Jones industrial
average fell 353 points, wiping out six
weeks of gains.
But the damage wasnt just in stocks.
Bond prices fell, and the yield on the
benchmark 10-year note rose to 2.42
percent, its highest level since August
2011, although still low by historical
standards. Oil and gold also slid.
People are worried about higher
interest rates, said Robert Pavlik, chief
market strategist at Banyan Partners.
Higher rates have the ability to cut
across all sectors of the economy.
The question now is whether the
markets moves on Thursday were an
overreaction or a sign of volatility to
come. What is becoming clearer is that
traders and investors are looking for a
new equilibrium after a period of ultra-
low rates, due to the Feds bond-buying,
which spawned one of the great bull
markets of all time.
It doesnt mean the stock run-up is
over. After all, the S&P 500 is still up
11.4 percent for the year and 135 percent
since a recession low in March 2009.
But it may suggest the start of a new
phase in which the fortunes of the stock
market are tied more closely to the fun-
damentals of the economy.
And that might not be a bad thing.
The reason the Fed is pulling back on
the bond-buying is because its forecast
for the economy is getting brighter.
The job market is improving, corpo-
rations are making record profits and the
housing market is recovering.
People are overreacting a little bit,
said Gene Goldman, head of research at
Cetera Financial Group. It goes back
to the fundamentals, the economy is
improving.
The Dows drop Thursday which
knocked the average down 2.3 percent
to 14,758.32 was its biggest since
November 2011. It comes just three
weeks after the blue-chip index reached
an all-time high of 15,409. The index
has lost 560 points in the past two days,
wiping out its gains from May and June.
FDA allows OTC morning-after pill, lifts age limit
WASHINGTON (AP)
The morning-after pill is
finally going over-the-coun-
ter.
The Food and Drug
Administration on Thursday
approved unrestricted sales
of Plan B One-Step, lifting
all age limits on the emer-
gency contraceptive.
The move came a week
after the Obama administra-
tion ended months of back-
and-forth legal battles by
promising a federal judge
it would take that step.
Womens health advocates
had pushed for easier access
to next-day birth control for
more than a decade.
Over-the-counter access
to emergency contraceptive
products has the potential
to further decrease the rate
of unintended pregnancies in
the United States, FDA drug
chief Dr. Janet Woodcock
said in a statement announc-
ing the approval.
It wasnt clear how
quickly Plan B One-Step
would move from behind
pharmacy counters to sit
on drugstore shelves. Until
now, customers could buy
that morning-after pill and
competing generic versions
without a prescription only
if they proved to a phar-
macist that they were 17 or
older. FDA said the product
will have to be repackaged
to reflect the change; maker
Teva Womens Health didnt
immediately respond. FDA
has not lifted age limits on
competing generics.
The morning-after pill
contains a higher dose of
the hormone in regular birth
control pills. Taking it within
72 hours of rape, condom
failure or just forgetting reg-
ular contraception can cut
the chances of pregnancy by
up to 89 percent, but it works
best within the first 24 hours.
If a girl or woman already is
pregnant, the pill, which pre-
vents ovulation or fertiliza-
tion of an egg, has no effect.
Back in 2011, the FDA
was preparing to allow over-
the-counter sales of emer-
gency contraceptives with
no limits when Health and
Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius over-
ruled her own scientists in
an unprecedented move. She
said she worried that girls
as young as 11 could use
the pill with no supervision,
a concern that President
Barack Obama echoed.
In April, U.S. District
Judge Edward Korman blast-
ed that decision as putting
politics ahead of science and
ordered the FDA to allow
unrestricted sales of emer-
gency contraceptives. He
said hardly any 11-year-olds
would use the pill, which
costs about $50. The Obama
administration lost a round
in the appeals court, too,
before telling the judge it
would approve the one-pill
brand.
Doctors groups and con-
traceptive advocates have
long argued that easier
access to emergency con-
traceptives would cut unin-
tended pregnancies and said
the drugs are safe even when
used at young ages.
Social conservatives, in
contrast, complain that lift-
ing prescription require-
ments undermines the rights
of parents and could endan-
ger girls.
Obama nominating Comey
as FBI director today
WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama
plans to nominate President George W. Bushs former No.
2 at the Justice Department, James Comey, to lead the FBI
as the agency grapples with privacy debates over a host of
recently exposed investigative tactics.
Comey is perhaps best known for a remarkable 2004
standoff over a no-warrant wiretapping program at the
hospital bed of Attorney General John Ashcroft. Comey
rushed to the side of his bedridden boss to physically stop
White House officials in their attempt to get an ailing
Ashcroft to reauthorize the program.
If confirmed by the Senate, Comey would serve a
10-year tenure and replace Robert Mueller, who has held
the job since the week before the terrorist attacks on Sept.
11, 2001. Mueller is set to resign on Sept. 4 after oversee-
ing the bureaus transformation into one the countrys
chief weapons against terrorism.
The White House said in a statement that Obama
would announce his choice of Comey this afternoon.
Comey was a federal prosecutor who severed for sev-
eral years as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of
New York before coming to Washington after the Sept.
11 attacks as deputy attorney general. In recent years
hes been an executive at defense company Lockheed
Martin, general counsel to a hedge fund, board member
at HSBC Holdings and lecturer on national security law
at Columbia Law School.
The White House may hope that Comeys Republican
background and strong credentials will help him through
Senate confirmation at a time when some of Obamas
nominees have been facing tough battles. Republicans
have said they see no major obstacles to his confirmation,
although he is certain to face tough questions about his
hedge fund work, his ties to Wall Street as well as how
he would handle current, high-profile FBI investigations.
Brazilians fill streets
with protest, violence
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)
More than half a million
Brazilians poured into the
streets of at least 80 Brazilian
cities Thursday in demonstra-
tions that saw violent clashes
and renewed calls for an end
to government corruption and
demands for better public ser-
vices.
Riot police battled protest-
ers in at least five cities, with
some of the most intense clash-
es happening in Rio de Janeiro,
where an estimated 300,000
demonstrators swarmed into
the seaside citys central area.
Television images showed
police firing tear gas canisters
and rubber bullets into crowds
of young men, their faces
wrapped in T-shirts. Other dem-
onstrators were shown detained
lying on sidewalks.
In Brasilia, police struggled
to keep hundreds of protest-
ers from invading the Foreign
Ministry, outside of which pro-
testers lit a small fire. Other
government buildings were
attacked around the capitals
central esplanade. There, too,
police resorted to tear gas and
rubber bullets in attempts to
scatter the crowds.
Clashes were also reported
in the Amazon jungle city of
Belem, in Porto Alegre in the
south, in the university town
Campinas north of Sao Paulo
and in the northeastern Brazilian
city of Salvador.
This was meant to be a
peaceful demonstration and it
is, said artist Wanderlei Costa,
33, in Brasilia. Its a shame
some people cause trouble
when there is a much bigger
message behind this movement.
Brazil needs to change, not only
on the government level, but
also on the grass roots level. We
have to learn to demonstrate
without violence.
The protests took place one
week after a violent police
crackdown on a much smaller
protests in Sao Paulo galva-
nized Brazilians to take to the
streets.
The unrest is hitting the nation
as it hosts the Confederations
Cup football tournament with
tens of thousands of foreign
visitors in attendance. It also
comes one month before Pope
Francis is scheduled to visit the
nation, and ahead of the 2014
World Cup and 2016 Olympics,
raising concerns about how
Brazilian officials will provide
security.
WHO study: Third of women suffer domestic violence
LONDON (AP) In the first major global review of vio-
lence against women, a series of reports released Thursday
found that about a third of women have been physically or
sexually assaulted by a former or current partner.
The head of the World Health Organization, Dr. Margaret
Chan, called it a global health problem of epidemic propor-
tions, and other experts said screening for domestic vio-
lence should be added to all levels of health care.
Among the findings: 40 percent of women killed world-
wide were slain by an intimate partner, and being assaulted
by a partner was the most common kind of violence experi-
enced by women.
Researchers used a broad definition of domestic violence,
and in cases where country data was incomplete, estimates
were used to fill in the gaps. WHO defined physical violence
as being slapped, pushed, punched, choked or attacked with
a weapon. Sexual violence was defined as being physically
forced to have sex, having sex for fear of what the partner
might do and being compelled to do something sexual that
was humiliating or degrading.
The report also examined rates of sexual violence against
women by someone other than a partner and found about 7
percent of women worldwide had previously been a victim.
In conjunction with the report, WHO issued guidelines for
authorities to spot problems earlier and said all health work-
ers should be trained to recognize when women may be at
risk and how to respond appropriately.
Globally, the WHO review found 30 percent of women
are affected by domestic or sexual violence by a partner.
The report was based largely on studies from 1983 to 2010.
According to the United Nations, more than 600 million
women live in countries where domestic violence is not
considered a crime.
The rate of domestic violence against women was highest
in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, where 37 per-
cent of women experienced physical or sexual violence from
a partner at some point in their lifetimes. The rate was 30
percent in Latin America and 23 percent in North America.
In Europe and Asia, it was 25 percent.
Some experts said screening for domestic violence
should be added to all levels of health care, such as obstet-
ric clinics.

Kimberly Swisher said the
GPR will help determine the
location of the buried soldiers
and fort.
The placement of the
1976 commemoration is
close, Swisher said. Better
equipment will help identify
the fort and burial locations.
The survey encompasses
sectioning off portions of the
temporary bank parking area
west of the monument.
Graduate student Adam
Kolatorowicz said the study
was an opportunity to help
the community.
It helps the village,
Kolatorowicz stated. Solid
evidence for the next step
excavating for the burial
location.
Measuring the area con-
sists of creating 75-x-75-foot
grid sections, which are sur-
veyed with radar. Each sec-
tion takes close to a half hour
to process.
Graduate student Logan
Miller explained how the
radar detects the differences
in soil. He said that it will
give a better indication of
where to dig and better pre-
serve the site.
Radar is emitted down
through the soil and then it is
transmitted back up, Miller
detailed. The computer dis-
plays the differences in the
ground below in 3-D.
Wiley hopes to be able to
have the results and recom-
mendations of how to pro-
ceed with possible core sam-
pling or excavations in time
for the Fort Fest in August.

I will miss the Cutest Baby Contest. My daughter was the win-
ner when she was a baby.
Maureen Teman
Well, I dont live in Delphos anymore but ALCO was my
first job. I got hired at 16 and worked there for three years. It
helped me afford many things and taught me work ethic, cus-
tomer service and all the basics of earning my own money. I
know so many people that learned the same things there since it
was their job, too. I think its sad that Delphos is losing a place
where teenagers and adults could earn a living; maybe not a
huge income but still, Im sad to see it go.
Kelly Hauter
I remember when it was Vals back in the day. Its gonna be
crappy if you need a certain something they carried, and could
get it there rather than driving to Lima.
Brandon Siefker
I remember finding The Muppet Family Christmas special
there on video and DVD. I bought it for mom and made her
Christmas. Its was very hard to find the old Christmas special.
Anne Whitaker
When I heard the news of the store closing, I was devastat-
ed. I shopped at ALCO for anything and everything. I never left
empty-handed. The location of the store was so convenient. The
motto for Delphos is Americas Friendliest City and it always
seemed like the staff kept that motto in mind when they worked
there. I have never went to ALCO and had a problem. We are a
small community and everyone knows each other and is always
there to help one another. I will definitely miss the small town
feel of a store whenever I shop now.
Cassie Lindeman
I dont live in Delphos anymore but ALCO definitely holds
memories. My grandfather bought a stuffed fish there that
stayed in our family for years. It was very convenient to know
you could stop and get something you needed without going to
Lima. They always had unique items.
Bridgette Bonifas
I will definitely miss ALCO. After working there for five
years, I had developed great relationships with most of the
staff, many of whom are still employed there. Also, ALCO had
been very supportive with all of my business and shopping for
various events associated with Canal Days and the Canal Days
Pageant. As far as my job at Sarah Jane Living Center, it will
certainly make things more difficult, as I will have to travel out
of town in order to purchase supplies for my activities, which
will take away from time that I will be able to spend with my
residents. The closing of the ALCO store will definitely impact
our entire community; many people may not realize it yet but
whether they shop there or not, the benefits from a home-town
business like that trickle down to everyone.

I would get up in the middle of the
night, decide to read and see him peek-
ing around the corner at me, Sandy said.
It was nice to reach down and have him
there.
A friend made Bentley a bandanna
from Breast Cancer Awareness material
pink with ribbonswhich he wore the
whole time Sandy was in treatment.
Prior to beginning treatments, Sandy
had a novel idea, which was to create a
visual symbol representing her countdown
to health. She tied a pink ribbon to a crys-
tal jar filled with 32 Hershey Kisses. After
each treatment, she came home and ate
one Kiss.
Those Kisses became very meaning-
ful to me, Sandy explained further. It
was uplifting to have that little reward that
meant one more down.
Finding out that Mike had prostate
cancer in 2002 was a fluke diagnosis.
He had been experiencing frequent trips
to the bathroom and decided to see a
urologist who ordered a Transurethral
Resection of the Prostate (TURP) for
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. In short, the
procedure involves removing the section
of the prostate that is blocking urine flow.
The procedure is now the most common
surgery used to remove part of an enlarged
prostate.
After Mikes surgery, his specimen was
sent to a Cleveland clinic to investigate
suspicious cells that may be cancer.
I was 56 at the time and not that old,
Mike stated. Since it was not advanced,
it would not have shown up in a diagnosis
for 10 years.
After the diagnosis was confirmed,
Mike began a regimen of 39 radiation
treatments. Although the procedure was
draining, he still managed to work every-
day. Once all treatments were complete,
Mike recovered to feel pretty normal in
2-3 weeks. When he was going through
that, we were extremely nervous, scared,
worried and although I was supportive,
there was a deep feeling of helplessness,
Sandy said.
Surprising things came out of being
diagnosed, Mike detailed. St. Ritas
approached me to participate in a com-
mercial about prostate cancer.
Mike and his two sons were in the
PSA, which was set on a golf course and
a natural setting for the Grays sons who
are avid golfers. The airing prompted 600
men to get tested and of those tested, 40 of
them had prostate cancer.
One thing it let both my boys know
is they need to get checked, Mike said
adamantly. Early detection is key. Stay
on top of it because it can save your life.
Both Mike and Sandy agreed that each
time they were sitting in a doctors office,
nervous and anticipating the results of
tests, as soon as they heard cancer the
conversation stopped and a process of
caregiving began.
The couple said the experience of liv-
ing through a cancer diagnosis brought
them much closer in ways only others in
the same situation could possibly grasp.
It made us appreciate each other so
much more as cancer survivors and
caregivers, Sandy said.
Mike and Sandy are unable to attend
the Bark for Life of Delphos from 2-5
p.m. Saturday at Leisure Park but are
avid supporters of the event. They both
agree Bentley was a caregiver for Sandy
while she went through her treatments and
recovery.
