AN AMERICAN flag is waved above the crowd at Country Concert Saturday. The three-day music festival ended as it

began — with record-setting temperatures beating down on the crowd.
Fans swelter in heat Country Concert 2012 comes to a hot end BY KATHY LEESE NEWPORT — Although temperatures hit triple digits Saturday and an extreme heat warning was in effect, the enthusiasm of Country Concert fans seemed undaunted by the weather. Armed with lots of water, fans never seemed to lose their enthusiasm as headliners Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton took the stage Saturday night, the final evening of Country Concert 2012.
In typical Country Concert style, fans roamed the dusty grounds of the Newport venue dressed in cowboy hats and boots, with two female fans wearing bikini tops and tutus, dancing through the crowd. Those driving golf carts loaded with fans had masks to protect themselves from the dust in the air due to lack of rain. All three days of Country Concert saw extreme heat warnings and triple-digit temperatures, that saw fans, workers and law enforcement
taking extra precautions to stay safe in the sun. Paul Barhorst, one of the Country Concert owners, said he does not yet have total attendance numbers for the three days and did not want to make estimates. He expects to release those numbers early this week. Sheriff John Lenhart noted his office was “prepared for the worst because of the heat.” But he noted, the crowd was largely cooperative and the numbers of arrests were actu-
ally down this year. “We feel good about that.” “There are a lot of the folks in the shade,” Lenhart said, noting it was a “pretty docile crowd.” He said it was one of the “better crowds” in recent years. The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Darke, Auglaize and Mercer County Sheriff ’s offices. “They helped with radios, they worked different assignments,” said Lenhart. See CONCERT/Page 20
Relief! Cooler temperatures are here BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.com A cold front that moved into the local region Saturday night brought welcome relief to Sidney and Shelby County Sunday in the wake of the past 10 days of intense heat soaring between high 90s and 103 degrees. The blistering readings did not set a record, however. Temperatures reached a high of 106 degrees in July 1936. The county’s highest unofficial reading was 103 degrees recorded Friday at Country Concert 2012. Efforts to contact the Sidney Wastewater Plant for exact recorded weekend temperatures were not successful before deadline Sunday. Readings at Dayton International Airport during the Dayton Air Show reached 104 degrees Saturday and temperatures at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base rose to 103 degrees. The National Weather Service in Wilmington is predicting Sunday’s cooler air will settle in, bringing temperatures back to more normal values for July. High temperatures in the low 90s to high 80s are exSee RELIEF/Page 7

Quarter auction set Sunday to fight leukemia BOTKINS — Get your quarters ready. Team Nuke Luke is holding a quarter auction for leukemia Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Palazzo. Doors for the quarter auction will open at 1 p.m. Paddles, which are limited to one per person, are $2 each. Denise Ciriegio, of Sidney, is the captain of Team Nuke Luke. She was diagnosed with leukemia in January 2011. Helping Ciriegio organize the quarter auction is Paula Cotterman. Eight vendors will be at the auction, said Cotterman. The vendors include Tastefully Simple, the Old Hen House, Scentsy, Nelly Cuddles, 31, Pampered Chef, Mary Kay and Pure Romance. “My friend Molly organizes quarter auctions,” said Cotterman. “Denise and I have been friends for quite a while and she was looking for ways to raise
IN
money for the walk.” Each vendor, said Cotterman, will donate 12 items for the auction. Proceeds from two of the items will go to Team Luke Nuke, while the quarters from the other 10 items will go back to the vendors. “We will have 88 items for the auction,” said Cotterman. “One of the two items going to the team will be placed in a basket for a raffle. The other item will go into the quarter auction with the money going back to the team. “Denise is also putting some items into the auction, which will also come back to the team.” Some of the other items include donations from Family Video, Ivy Garland, Clancy’s, Advance Auto, Sidney Car Wash, Lois Mitchell Massage, Pizza Hut, Francis Furniture, PNC Bank, Sidney Daily News and Belmar.

Newspapers In Education The Ghost in the Courthouse Statue Written by Bill Bailey Illustrated by Michelle Duckworth Chapter 15 A tough old bird bites back STORY SO FAR: Sheriff Matlock's posse sneaks into The Jefferson Times office, hoping to kill Jake, Holly, and Donnie. But Donnie has used a trick to encourage his mom and Jake to leave the building. Next, Donnie stages a series of scary surprises for the intruders, using an audio recorder, strings, and his vocal impersonation of Felix. The posse tries a trick. The sheriff raises his hands to show he's unarmed, while Clint hides in Donnie's stuffed animal closet with a gun. Kneeling on the bricks behind the building, Donnie holds a fistful of strings, planning an ambush of his own. With his hands high in the air, Sheriff Matlock winked at Judge Lulu, who stood nervously in a corner of the room. The sheriff smirked, proud of the trap he'd set. He was too full of himself to notice the strings that ran from the closet where Clint was hiding. From underneath the closet door, they ran across the floor, out the back window, and into my clenched fist. I jerked a string that was attached to the pull ring coming out of Grizzly's belly. Grizzly was perched just behind Clint inside the closet, and now he let out a deep roar, made louder by the walls of the closet. "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" "Ahhh!" Clint yelped as he jumped from the closet. As he swung around, shooting his pistol back toward the sound, I pulled on another bundle of strings, and the animal kingdom erupted in sound. Zip the weenie dog barked, X-Ray the cat hissed, and Bertie the Bird cawed his crazy laughter right at Clint. Another tug, and Cowboy Bill kicked in, "Go fer yer gun, ya sorry sack of a sidewindin' sapsucker." I reached in through the open window and threw a handful of snappers that I had saved from last July 4th hard at the floor. They crackled like rapid gunfire. Clint's terrified eyes grew large as he dove for the floor, holding onto his toupee with one hand and his gun with the other. Judge Lulu and the sheriff hit the floor right next to him. On their six knees, they crawled together into the editor's office in the middle of the building, like they were doing a tornado drill. Judge Lulu pulled the door shut behind them, making it where I could no longer see them. I had to hustle. I scampered up a ladder to the roof and peered down through the skylight into the editor's office. Just inside the room's door stood the posse. And across the room sat a man in a tall swivel chair, facing away from the posse. All they could see were his white hair and a thin arm resting on an armrest. I had taken out one of the skylight's removable glass panes earlier, when I was preparing for the posse's visit. Now, I reached for a bundle of strings that I had run to the roof and took a deep breath. I threw my friendly, old-guy voice down through the skylight and over to the man in the chair. "Sheriff, Clint, Lulu – so good to see you after all this time. I know you must've missed me – your old pal, Editor Elder." The posse was too shocked to speak. I nudged them with some folksy, old-timer talk. "Not so much as a howdy-do after all this time, friends? You act like you've seen a ghost."
"G-George, that really you?" Clint asked. "Indeed it is, old buddy," I said. "Fit as a fiddle." "But I mixed the poison myself," Judge Lulu whispered. "It was enough to kill a horse." "Shut up, Lulu," the sheriff hissed. "Lucky for me, I'm not a horse, Lulu – just a tough old bird," my old geezer voice said. "But next time, could you sweeten it up? That poison sure made my coffee taste awful bitter." "I'm, uh... so relieved you're alive," the sheriff said. Taking Clint's revolver, the sheriff inched toward the man in the chair. "This is really good news. Isn't it, Clint?" "Uh, yes, wonderful," Clint answered. Then the sheriff's voice began to harden. "A tough old bird, are ya? Too tough for our poison, huh? Then how 'bout eatin' some bullets – you old buzzard!" He opened fire into the back of the chair. Blam, blam, blam! I snatched hard on a string, and the chair swung around. Facing the posse was a white-haired skeleton wearing a suit – it was Jake's "Ol' Bag a' Bones- just as I had staged him." I pulled another string a few times quickly, and Ol' Bag of Bones' teeth clacked open and shut, as his grotesque skull appeared to speak. "Tsk, tsk, tsk," I voiced from above. "That is no way to treat a friend!" With a group-shriek, they took off, falling over each other. I could hear them tearing down the hall toward the front office. In the darkness, I hurried to the front of the roof and peeked over the ledge, just in time to hear the jangle of the doorbell. I watched the posse burst from the front door – and into the bright glare of car headlights. Stepping from behind the lights, with their guns drawn, were the Jefferson City Police. "Drop your weapon!" Police Chief Banks said. Slowly, the sheriff did so. "Charlie, what you doing here?" The sheriff's voice sounded confused and his usual swagger was gone. He looked like a little kid with his hand caught in a cookie jar. "Sheriff Matlock!? Well, I should ask you the same thing," said Chief Banks. For a few seconds, Sheriff Matlock stood there dazed, looking around at Clint and Judge Lulu. They mirrored his stunned, guilty expression.
NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith
Thinking quickly, the sheriff forced a smile and tried to sound matter-of-fact, "Well, ya see, Charlie, I got a call sayin' they'd heard the sound of gunfire coming from The Times office. Since me and my buddies were in the neighborhood, I figured we'd check it out." "We got that call, too," said Chief Banks. "But you know, crime inside the city is my jurisNext diction. time, you might let me know what's going on. When you all came running out of The Times like that, with that gun in your hand, I thought you were the thieves. That is, until I got a good look at you." The sheriff gave a big fake laugh, like that was the funniest thing he'd ever heard. Clint and Lulu laughed, too, but they sounded pretty nervous. "We were chasin' after the robbers, Charlie," the sheriff said. "But it looks like they got away. I think we scared 'em off before they could take anything." "Then I ought to be thanking you, instead of giving you grief," Chief Banks said, walking up and patting the sheriff on
the shoulder. I felt sick at my stomach. The police chief was eating out of the sheriff's crooked hands. And if I spoke up, there was no way Chief Banks would take the word of a kid against three grown-ups – especially when one of them was the sheriff. I was desperate. Even though it seemed hopeless, I had to try. So I took a deep breath and yelled down from the roof, this time using my own voice for a change. "Chief Banks, they weren't trying to catch robbers. They were trying to kill my mom and me and Jake – like they did Mr. Elder." Suddenly, all their eyes were on me. The posse still appeared to be horror-struck by the haunted house – in fact, too stunned to put together that I had anything to do with it. "That's ridiculous!" the sheriff exclaimed, his eyes wide with fake amazement. "Charlie, that newspaper's done nothin' but print lies and cause trouble ever since that Jake fella showed up. Now they're tryin' to make us out to be the bad guys. And besides... he's just a kid!" I could tell from the look on the police chief's face that he was falling for the sheriff's tricks. I looked down across the dark courthouse lawn to Felix's statue. Not knowing if he could even hear me, I mouthed into the breeze, "What would you do, Felix?" A second later I heard a faint whisper. "You can do theese, Donnie. You have practiced a long time – for just theese moment!"

Facts about Crickets organic materials, as well as decaying plant material, fungi, and seedling plants. Habitat Crickets live under rocks and logs in meadows, pastures and along roadsides. Many are nocturnal. Predators Spiders, some wasps, ground beetles, birds, small rodents and lizards are cricket predators. Interesting Behaviors To attract mates, males produce a sound made by rubbing their forewings against each other. The resulting chirping sound is picked up by the female's ears on her front legs. The chirp sounds are different for each species so that individuals can find their own species. Females lay eggs in the soil with their ovipositor. IMPACT ON THE ECOSYSTEM Positive Crickets break down plant material, renewing soil minerals. They are also an important source of food for other animals. Negative Crickets may injure seedlings and large numbers can be destructive. Males songs can be quite loud.
Appearance (Morphology) • Brown to black • Front wing varying in length, covering half to entire abdomen • Antennae about as long as distance from head to end of abdomen • Wings held flat over body • Hind wings folded and hidden under leathery front wings Adult Males and Females Female with long ovipositor (ventrally attached) in rear (may appear as two pieces); both sexes have cerci (segmented, tail-like appendages attached dorsally). The wings are fully extended over the abdomen. Some species may not have wings. Immatures (different stages) Immatures look like adults, but do not have fully developed wings. Older nymphs may show development of wing pads. The female's ovipositor begins to show before it is an adult and increases in length with each successive molt. NATURAL HISTORY Food Crickets are omnivores and scavengers feeding on
COLLECTING LIVE INSECTS Where to Collect Field crickets live in leaf litter, under or near logs or around damp places in gardens. In parts of the country, crickets can be pests and are abundant in homes, barns and gardens. If you need lots of crickets, you may wish to purchase them from a pet store. Check with the pet store to find out when the shipment arrives so that they will be fresh and healthy. Crickets can be purchased from: Berkshire Biological Supply Company, The Biology Store, Carolina
Biological Supply Company, Connecticut Valley Biological Supply Co., Inc., and Fluker's Cricket Farm, Inc. How to Collect To collect crickets in the field, have the container ready. Your hand is the best tool to grab the cricket. Gently cup your hands around the cricket. If you don't want to touch the cricket, use a plastic container and allow the cricket to jump into the container. Quickly place the lid on before it jumps out. If it's in the house, you can place a glass over it and slide a piece of paper underneath.
Crickets, family Gryllidae (also known as "true crickets"), are insects somewhat related to grasshoppers, and more closely related to katydids or bush crickets (family Tettigoniidae). They have somewhat flattened bodies and long antennae. There are about 900 species of crickets. They tend to be nocturnal[1] and are often confused with grasshoppers because they have a similar body structure including jumping hind legs. Crickets are harmless to humans. Cricket Chirping – The sound emitted by crickets is commonly referred to as chirping; the scientific name is stridulation. Only the male crickets chirp. The sound is emitted by the stridulatory organ, a large vein running along the bottom of each wing, covered with "teeth" (serration) much like a comb. The chirping sound is created by running the top of one wing along the teeth at the bottom of the other wing. As he does this, the cricket also holds the wings up and open, so that the wing membranes can act as acoustical sails. It is a popular myth that the cricket chirps by rubbing its legs together.

Ways to Reuse Simple Household Items Recycling is very important, but even better is reusing. Recycling actually uses energy and transport time and fuel to get the items to where they need to go. If you can reuse an item yourself, that's more energy, time and fuel saved, as well as less emissions produced. From your old metal cans, plastic bags, bicycle tires, packing peanuts and computer keyboards, there are many ways to find a second life for simple items around your home by reusing them. • Reuse seeds from fruit and vegetables and try to grow them! • Reuse paper bags as school book covers. • Cut used pieces of paper into scrap pieces of paper (a message pad!). • Reuse stove heat by opening up the stove once you are done with it and letting the warm air into your home in colder weather. Reuse the heat! • Reuse coffee grinds by keeping them aside and placing them into your garden or soil. • Reuse Christmas trees (not the fake ones) by putting them outside for birds and letting it naturally break down. • Reuse packing peanuts, air pillows, bubble wrap and boxes for your own ebay shipping, or bring them by the local post office or recycling center for others to use. • Reuse pens and art supplies by donating them to local schools. • Reuse your old carpet. Even slightly dirty carpets can have a second life. • Reuse your old food scraps by composting them. • Reuse your used margarine and butter tubs by cleaning them and keeping them for leftovers (free ziploc containers!). • Reuse old clothing by donating it to a local charity. • Reuse the stuffing from old pillows and comforters into new items. Reuse the pillow covers for rags. • Reuse used wrapping paper and save it for next year. • Reuse newspaper, interesting magazines, and other paper products by using them as wrapping paper. • Reuse kiddie pool water on plants and shrubs. • Never throw away an old book, donate it to a library or to your recycling center, or a school! They can reuse it.

Board gets update on work, program The S&H Products Board of Trustees learned that work has slowed slightly at the industry and heard about a Bridges to Transition program during its recent meeting. Rick Husa, adult services director, told board members that work has decreased slightly for S&H employees, which is creating down time in the afternoons occasionally. Activities are being planned on and off campus and other options are planned when work is not available. The Bridges to Transition summer program is operating and it was reported that the program is going well. Participants have completed a computer class and a retail and money class is now being offered. The summer work experience began on June 4 at the first of the three work locations. Summer camp will be held from July 30 to Aug . 17, and it was noted that there has been such a great response that Shelby Hills will be providing a room for 19 enrollees. The board heard that eight participants from S&H art classes along with staff member Melinda Watercutter, art volunteer Donna Ruble and Kyoko Arakawa took a trip to the Dayton Art Institute on June 7. They saw an exhibition of Chinese tapestries and participated in hands-on activities. Juanita Hoaglin drove participants to the Dayton event and they had box lunches from the Spot Restaurant. Ruble had T-shirts made for the Spirit and Hands artists that featured artwork by Matt Kahlig, who is an S&H employee. The artwork was featured on the back of the T-shirts. The S&H annual audit is scheduled for July 26 and 27 and will be conducted by McCrate, DeLaet and Co.
Magazine calls Minster High School outstanding MINSTER — The Minster Board of Education learned at a recent meeting that Minster High School has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report as an outstanding school and also heard about the need for funding for a new playground. Members were told that out of 873 Ohio high schools, Minster High School has been ranked number 55 in the state. High schools were ranked as gold, silver or bronze schools, with Minster being named a “silver” school. Among the criteria for the award were college and career readiness and the percentages of advancedplacement students passing exams. The initial results of this spring’s Ohio Graduation Test for current sophomores showed Minster students’ percentages of proficiency in the following areas: writing, 100 percent; reading, 96 percent; mathematics, 99 percent; social studies, 97 percent and science 93 percent.

Schools if they wish to donate to the project or assist with the playground project. The board heard that seventhgrade students took the Algebra Aptitude Test at the end of April, which is used to decide what percentage of students will be placed in next year’s Algebra I class. Three Minster Local Schools student teams participated the weekend of May 12 in the Team America National Rocketry Challenge national finals, which is the world’s largest rocket contest, after qualifying as one of the top 100 teams in April. The Minster students beat the scores of 678 other student teams from across the United States. The event took place outside of Washington, D.C. Among the students representing Minster were: • Team One — Nathan Riethman, Danielle Monnin, Blake Mallory, Carlin Elder, Sam Bornhorst. • Team Two — Reid Frick, Brooke Monnin, Macey Elder, Hailey Oldiges, Anthony Slonkosky and Wes Kogge. • Team Three — Alex Barhorst, Jessica Berelsman, Austin Dwenger, Pierce McGowan and Dane Dahlinghaus.
qualified for national competition. The FFA Convention was held in Columbus in May. Minster students receiving State Degrees were juniors Eric Dahlinghaus and Adam Dircksen and senior Hallie Byers. Eric Dahlinghaus also received a Proficiency State Winner award for organic agriculture. Superintendent Brenda Boeke told board members that the junior/senior high school bleacher project is finished. The school district used permanent improvement funds to install retractable, telescopic bleachers. The board also approved personnel action. Certified personnel who were approved for limited, one-year contracts beginning July 1 include Leah Ketner, extended service, eight days; Kim Seaver, extended service, 16 days; Peggy Kelly, extended service, 12 days; and Paul Winglewich, extended service, 32 days. The board also approved classified personnel for a limited, oneyear seasonal contract: Mike and George Wiss, Ripploh groundskeepers, and Bob Huecker, part-time help.

NEWTON FALLS (AP) — A man shot to death four people, including his girlfriend and a child, then killed himself in a cemetery after authorities had surrounded him, police said. Three of the people were shot in one home Friday, and another child who was there but not wounded ran next door after the shootings, telling neighbors that “Daddy’s dead,” relatives said. Police also said they heard yelling in a call from the home. The gunman’s girlfriend was later found dead in his home in the town of Newton Falls, near the Pennsylvania state line, police said. The adults who died had spent the Fourth of July together on a lake in northeast Ohio, a relative said.

2nd trial unlikely for man in 1986 slayings
IN THIS Jan. 19 file photo, Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, is introduced by Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, at his campaign headquarters in Charleston, S.C. Leaks are springing. Trial balloons are floating. Egos are being stroked. Wanna-bes are auditioning. And, chances are, lies are being told. Somewhere, amid all of the shenanigans, Republican Mitt Romney is considering his choices for a running mate, one of the most significant decisions of his presidential campaign.
Leaks, lies, auditions all part of veepstakes BY NANCY BENAC WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaks are springing. Trial balloons are floating. Egos are being stroked. Wanna-bes are auditioning. And, chances are, lies are being told. Somewhere, amid all of the shenanigans, Republican Mitt Romney is considering his choices for a running mate, one of the most significant decisions of his presidential campaign. The secrecy that shrouds the selection of a modern presidential running mate has given rise to political sideshows that play out in public while the more serious search operation takes place at a largely subterranean level. Names of new Romney short-listers emerge; others fall by the wayside. Any kind of proximity to Romney — or his opponent — generates questions about GOP veep ambitions. Why did Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire walk in a July Fourth parade with Romney? Why did Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and former Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota turn up in Ohio and Pennsylvania during President Barack Obama’s Midwest bus trip? Why did Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio write a Cleveland newspaper column criticizing the president’s policies just as Obama headed for the state? Comments by Romney and his team are parsed for deeper meaning. What to make of Ann Romney’s remark this past week that women are under consideration? What about Romney’s earlier comment that outspoken New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie “really is something?” Why did Romney pull back the veil last month to announce that Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida was being “thoroughly vetted” for vice president after reports to the contrary emerged? Consultant Bob Shrum, who’s worked on numerous Democratic presidential campaigns, says a closely held search operation is a good thing because it protects the people who open up their lives to the campaign to be thoroughly checked out as potential running mates. But the lack of public
Portman VP maybe but no meeting with Romney BY STEVE PEOPLES CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — He may be on Mitt Romney’s short list for vice president, but Sen. Rob Portman said Saturday that he did not travel to New Hampshire to meet with the prospective Republican nominee. The Ohio Republican told reporters that he hasn’t visited Romney’s New Hampshire vacation home — just 40 miles from where Portman headlined a state GOP fundraiser Saturday night — and has no plans to meet with Romney before he leaves New England. “I’m here mostly on a college tour with my daughter,” he said. “I have no plans” to meet Romney. Romney is in the final days of a weeklong New Hampshire vacation. He was largely focused on his family but also huddled at times with top advisers as the campaign considers announcing a running mate earlier than previous presidential contenders. Portman wouldn’t say whether he’s being vetted as a potential running mate, but his status as a top candidate is clear. The first-term senator fits Romney’s desire for a qualified team player who won’t overshadow him. Portman, who serves as Romney’s Ohio campaign chairman, said he doesn’t expect to meet with the former Massachusetts governor in the coming days, but will speak at “a couple of events” in Boston to benefit the campaign on Monday. He said his goal is to help “raise money for the campaign and also doing whatever I can to help the victory effort.” Portman is a longtime congressman who served as a trade representative and top budget official in the George W. Bush administration. “I’m proud of that record,” Portman declared Saturday when asked about Bush’s low approval ratings at the end of his presidency. Portman said he was a Bush budget official “when we had a strong economy — at a time when we had deficits that we would die for today.” He has played an active role in several presidential campaigns, most recently as the debate partner for the 2008 GOP nominee, Sen. John McCain. “I want to help in any way I can,” he said. information creates an opening for all sorts of political gamesmanship, including self-promotion by short-listers who aren’t on the short list at all and denials by actual short-listers who feign nonchalance. That makes it hard for voters to know what’s real and what’s simply for show. Which is just fine with Romney. Take all the recent attention on Portman, busy raising his own profile. He invited reporters to an off-therecord dinner during the primaries, chatted them up on the press bus during a Romney tour of Ohio, and held a roundtable with national media Saturday in New Hampshire, where he headlined a fundraiser for the state GOP. He said he was in the state “mostly on a college
tour” with his daughter, but also expected to speak at some events in Boston on Monday to benefit Romney’s campaign. Who’s really floating his name as a veep contender? “Is that a Romney float or is that a Portman float or is that a f r i e n d s - o f - Po r t m a n float?” asks Paul Light, a professor of government at New York University. “You just don’t know.” There’s an easy remedy available to wannabe contenders who’ve been left off the short list, says Light. All it takes is a well-placed whisper from a friend of a friend to land on the veep list. “Instead of saying, ‘I could’ve been a contender,’ you can say, ‘I am a contender’ even if you’re not,” says Shrum.
Day Lager, who is now the public defender in Portage County. Authorities had decided in 2010 to take another look at the case after learning about a cold case unit that received a federal grant to look at unsolved cases. Technology used in the latest DNA testing did not exist at the time of Lowe’s trial. But constitutional issues that prohibit a person from being tried more than once and protect the right to a speedy trial most likely will prevent the filing of new charges, the newspaper reported. Prosecutors also must consider the availability of witnesses and the strength of the evidence, even with the DNA results. But Goslee’s staff is studying the prior case file and looking for any precedents in Ohio and other states. He believes local authorities did the best they could with information available at the time. “It’s a shame two good people were murdered and we can’t prove who did it,” said Mullett’s former husband, Dick Mullett. Former Logan County Sheriff ’s Deputy Phil Alloway was an investigator on the 1986 case. He said Lowe once babysat Mullet’s children and disappeared a few days after the slayings. Lowe was later found at a motel with scratches on his arm and knee, the newspaper reported. Investigators never found a murder weapon. ___ Information from: Bellefontaine Examiner, http://www.examiner.org

BELLEFONTAINE (AP) — It’s unlikely that a suspect in two 1986 Ohio slayings can be charged a second time despite new DNA evidence, a prosecutor said. Constitutional issues may prevent charging Terry Lowe again, including the fact that a person can’t be tried twice for the same alleged crime, Logan County Prosecutor William Goslee told the Bellefontaine Examiner (http://bit.ly/L7788m). A former prosecutor in 1994 dismissed a capital murder case against Lowe, who now lives in Lima. He was accused of fatally stabbing Phyllis Mullett, 37, in her Belle Center home and shooting 64-year-old town Marshal Murray Griffin when he tried to help the woman on the night of July 5, 1986. The prosecutor’s office this winter received DNA testing results from more than 20 boxes of evidence collected days after the slayings. Testing on a drop of blood found on a sliding glass door at Mullett’s home shows a high probability that the blood came from Lowe, authorities said. DNA extracted from inside a knot on a rope used to bind Mullett’s legs also pointed to Lowe, according to authorities. Lowe could not be reached for comment. A telephone number was not available. His former attorney, Dennis Day Lager, said he continues to believe that authorities targeted the wrong man. The state didn’t have sufficient evidence when Lowe went to trial and the case “cannot be reopened,” said

OUT OF THE BLUE Pennies pay off mortgage MILFORD, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man who pledged to make the last mortgage payment on his home with pennies has fulfilled that promise. After warning his bank, Thomas Daigle dropped off about 62,000 pennies weighing 800 pounds in two boxes for the final payment on the Milford home he and his wife, Sandra, bought in 1977. He tells The Milford Daily News he just wanted to make his last payment on April 24. He started saving his pennies when he moved in. The optician says his wife laughed whenever he would pick up a penny he found on the ground and say it was going to the mortgage. Daigle says he’s just glad to have the coins out of his house.

Oscar-winning star dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ernest Borgnine, the beefy screen star known for blustery, often villainous roles, but who won the best-actor Oscar for playing against type as a lovesick butcher in “Marty” in 1955, died Sunday. He was 95. His longtime spokesman, Harry Flynn, told The Associated Press that Borgnine died of renal failure at CedarsSinai Medical Center with his wife and children at his side. Borgnine, who endeared himself to a generation of Baby Boomers with the 1960s TV comedy “McHale’s Navy,” first attracted notice in the early 1950s in villain roles, notably as the vicious Fatso Judson, who beat Frank Sinatra to death in “From Here to Eternity.” Then came “Marty,” a lowbudget film based on a Paddy Chayefsky television play that starred Rod Steiger. Borgnine played a 34-year-old who fears he is so unattractive he will never find romance. Then, at a dance, he meets a girl with the same fear. “Sooner or later, there comes a point in a man’s life when he’s gotta face some facts,” Marty movingly tells his mother at one point in the film. “And one fact I gotta face

NATO: 6 service members killed in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A bomb in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday killed six NATO service members, on a day where a total of 29 people died from roadside bombs and insurgent attacks. NATO said the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device but provided no further details about the attack and did not identify the dead service members. The statement said NATO’s policy is to allow “national authorities” to give details about the soldiers. A surge in Afghan and coalition forces during the past two years routed Taliban fighters from many of their strongholds in the south, but the insurgents have stepped up their attacks this summer to take back key areas. The service members’ deaths were the latest on Sunday caused by bombs planted by insurgents along roadsides, paths or mountain tracks. In addition to the six NATO deaths, bombs and attacks killed 16 Afghan civilians, five policemen and two members of the U.S.-led coalition in southern Afghanistan, Afghan and NATO authorities said. The civilians, including women and children, were killed in three blasts in Arghistan district, along Afghanistan’s border with Pakistan. Kandahar province spokesman Ahmad Jawed Faisal said one bomb exploded when a minivan ran over it Sunday morning. A second went off when other civilians riding a
tractor arrived to help the wounded. A third explosion occurred about two hours later when a civilian vehicle hit a roadside bomb in another area of the district, killing two women. At least 10 civilians were injured in the three blasts. According to the United Nations, last year was the deadliest on record for civilians in the Afghan war, with 3,021 killed. The number of Afghan civilians killed dropped 36 percent in the first four months of this year compared with last year, but the U.N. says that too many are still being caught up in violence. The policemen were killed while responding to a gun battle against insurgents early Sunday at a checkpoint in the Musa Qala district of neighboring Helmand province. Daoud Ahmadi, the spokesman in Helmand, said a group of Taliban fighters attacked the police checkpoint at about 3 a.m. Afghan police called for reinforcements, but on the way, one of the police vehicles hit a roadside bomb, killing the five policemen. Ahmadi says three other policemen were wounded in the four-hour gun battle against the insurgents. He says the bodies of 20 insurgents were recovered from the battlefield. Separately, two NATO service members were killed in southern Afghanistan — one in a roadside bomb explosion on Saturday and the other during an insurgent attack on Sunday.
prose and Delbert Mann’s sensitive direction astonished audiences accustomed to happy Hollywood formulas. Borgnine won the Oscar and awards from the Cannes Film Festival, New York Critics and National Board of Review. Mann and Chayefsky also won Oscars, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hailed the $360,000 “Marty” as best picture over big-budget contenders “The Rose Tattoo,” ”Love Is a ManySplendored Thing,” ”Picnic” and “Mister Roberts.” “The Oscar made me a star, and I’m grateful,” Borgnine told an interviewer in 1966. “But I feel had I not won the Oscar I wouldn’t have gotten into the messes I did in my personal life.” Those messes included four failed marriages, including one in 1964 to singer Ethel Merman that lasted less than six weeks. But Borgnine’s fifth marriage, in 1973 to Norwegianborn Tova Traesnaes, endured and brought with it an interesting business partnership. She manufactured and sold her own beauty products under the name of Tova and used her husband’s rejuvenated face in her ads.
Voting streak nears 5,000 PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Sen. Susan Collins has gone to great lengths to preserve her unbroken voting streak in Washington. On one occasion, it meant deplaning from a commercial flight to race back to Capitol Hill. Another time, she twisted her ankle as she scampered down marble hallways to the Senate floor with moments to spare. She even scheduled her upcoming wedding for the August recess, just to be safe. The Maine Republican has never missed a vote since taking office in January 1997 — a record that evokes comparisons to baseball great Cal Ripken. This week, she expects to make her 5,000th consecutive vote. She says her voting record resonates with Mainers. “It demonstrates to my constituents my unwavering commitment to my job. I also think the people of Maine have a great work ethic and that they relate to it. They’re very diligent about showing up for work and meeting their obligations. They’re happy that I feel the same way,” Collins said.
Temperatures across U.S. cool slightly PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The heat that blanketed much of the U.S. began to ease up from unbearable to merely very hot Sunday as temperatures from the Midwest to the East Coast dropped from highs above 100 degrees down to the 90s. Cooler air swept southward in the eastern half of the country, bringing down some temperatures by 15 or more degrees from Saturday’s highs, which topped 100 in cities including Philadelphia, Washington, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Louisville, Ky. For many areas, the cooler temperatures were ushered in by thunderstorms that knocked out power to thousands. In New Jersey, a line of strong, fast-moving storms knocked out power to nearly 70,000 on Saturday night. The heat of the past several days has also been blamed for at least 35 deaths across the country. A 4-month-old girl died and a 16-month-old girl was hospitalized in suburban Indianapolis after both were found trapped in cars during 105-degree heat Saturday. Deaths have also been reported by authorities in Illinois, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
The heat caused highways to buckle in Illinois and Wisconsin, officials said. In Maryland, investigators said heat likely caused rails to kink and led a commuter train to partially derail Friday. No one was injured. To stay cool, Americans tried familiar solutions — dipping into the pool, going to the movies and riding subways just to be in air conditioning. Even the beach offered no respite. Atlantic City, N.J., home of the famed boardwalk, set a temperature record Saturday of 100 degrees. Working outdoors in New Jersey on Saturday was Freddie Jackson, a 48-year-old Toms River man who sells roses by the dozen from his car, which was parked in a heavily shaded area off a major highway. Clad in shorts, sandals and a white Tshirt, Jackson said he would stay out as long as he felt safe — and business was good. “I do this mainly to make a few extra bucks, so I’m not going to stay if I started feeling (the heat),” he said. Jackson said his teenage daughter stopped by to bring him a cooler with several bottles of water, and he had a couple of ham and cheese sandwiches with him.
“I’m tempted to leave them out in the sun for a while and see if I end up with grilled cheese,” he joked. If Americans ventured outside to do anything, they did it early. But even then, the heat was stifling. “It was baking on the 18th green,” said golfer Zeb Rogerson, who teed off at 6 a.m. at an Alexandria, Va., golf course but was sweltering by the end of his round. In South Bend, Ind., serious kayakers took to the East Race Waterway, a 1,900-footlong manmade whitewater course near downtown.
RELIEF pected throughout this week. During blistering heat Thursday, 20 people were treated for heat-related problems at Country Concert at Newport and 10 of them were transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital for treatment. Sidney Police and Shelby County Sheriff ’s dispatchers said Sunday they still are aware of no extraordinary problems created by the heat. The Ohio Department of Health warns, however, that cooler temperatures are not
“A lot of times I’ll roll over just to cool off,” said Robert Henry of Carmel, just north of Indianapolis. “The biggest challenge is walking coming back up carrying a kayak three-eighths of a mile in this heat.” In Manhattan, customers who stepped in to see “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” at an IFC movie theater were there for more than entertainment. “Of course we came to cool off!” said John Villanova, a writer who was on his second sweaty T-shirt of the day and expecting to change again by evening.
From Page 1 necessarily safer, stressing it is still important for people to drink a lot of cool fluids, reduce outdoor activity and continue to check on their neighbors and the elderly. The area’s extreme heat and continuing drought has begun to stress producers’ corn and soybean crops, also causing the deaths of turkeys and chickens. Dairy Farmers are also blaming the heat and humidity for creating a drop in their herd’s milk production.

Riddle, Eakins join Tri-County board The Tri-County Community Action Commission recently welcomed new Shelby County board members and heard that local residents may be eligible for fans and air conditioners as temperatures soar this summer. The board welcomed new members Brenda Riddle and Jean Eakins. It has been working to fill vacancies for some time. The board heard an update on the HEAP
program that may benefit local residents who need fans and air conditioners. The summer HEAP program began June 1, with CAC receiving $579,000 to assist residents in Shelby, Chamand Logan paign counties. The program offers eligible residents up to $250 off of their utility bill and will also have air conditioners and oscillating fans available while supplies last.
The credit will include the cost of the appliance and the remaining amount will be used for the utility bill up to $250. There were 600 65,000-BTU air-conditioner wall units purchased for $140 each and they will be delivered to residents’ homes. Board member Anthony Ehresmann said he has seen several Champaign County residents at his church who reportedly have been de-
nied utility assistance by CAC. Denise Birt, CAC executive director, told Ehresmann that if a client has an unpaid arrearage on their Percentage of Income Payment Plan, CAC is not authorized to assist them, according to program guidelines. Those needing assistance or wanting to get a fan or air conditioner should contact the Shelby County CAC office.

to have an antsy toddler in a restaurant. The problem, as I see it, is that you use up all of a toddler’s good behavior while waiting for your food. My solution to this is to take him or her for a walk after you order your food. Obviously, keeping out of the way of employees and other diners is a priority, but mothers of toddlers are used to thinking on their feet. Even the most kidunfriendly restaurant has a parking lot. Standing on the sidewalk and discussing car colors can use up a few minutes. I always tried to get back to the table just when the food arrived.

Bike museum gets cycle NEW BREMEN — RoundTail CEO and inventor Lou Tortola has presented a RoundTail bike to the Bicycle Museum of America, 7 W. Monroe St. The museum has received one of the first production prototypes of the RoundTail, manufactured for the 2011 Interbike show in Las Vegas. “I am very humbled that something I’ve worked so hard to develop as an idea is now both a reality and is being exhibited in such an esteemed institution as the Bicycle Museum of America,” Tortola said. The Bicycle Museum of America has been in New Bremen since 1997. The museum exhibits more than 350 bicycles, the core of which is the Schwinn family collection formerly displayed at the Navy Pier in Chicago. With its total rotating acquisitions (no pun in-
tended) numbering more than 1,000 bicycles, the Bicycle Museum of America is the largest private collection in the world open to the public. It houses elegant antique bicycles from the 19th century, balloon tire classics of the 1940s and 1950s, and the banana-seat, high-rise handlebar bikes of the 1960s. For information, visit bicyclemuseum.com and on Facebook at facebook.com/BicycleMuseum. “The RoundTail is an amazing technological breakthrough in the cycling world,” said Matt Staugler, Bicycle Museum of America conservator and researcher. “The dual-ring design affords riders a new and incredible level of comfort while maintaining top-notch performance standards. It’s a remarkable invention that we’re very happy to have here at the Bicycle Museum

of America.” The RoundTail design removed the standard seat stay, chain stay and seat tube of the typical, diamond-shaped bike design and, instead, two rings support the weight of the rider. This revolutionary design created a vertically compliant, laterally stiff ride with numerous benefits.

seeds and watered them. I think the first sprout will maybe be in about six days. I think the spinach might be the first thing to sprout.” • Rosalyn: “Today we covered our garden for frost because if we didn’t our plants would be damaged. Mrs. Peltier discovered a rabbit’s nest in one of our gardens.” • Ana: “One day we thinned our radishes. I’ve never seen a rabbit’s nest up close before in my life. I noticed the lettuce and spinach grew back from where we did our first harvest.” • Hailey: “I learned that peas need more time to grow than lettuce. We should share this project with other grades because it is fun to do.” • Zoe: “Our peas have blossoms on them. Today we provided salads for all the Emerson teachers.” • Cedric: “The reason why I liked the harvest is because we got to make it into a salad.” • Isaiah: “Today we pulled the radishes and onions and cut the lettuce and spinach. Then we cleaned and washed the vegetables. We cut off the roots and stems then we spinned the lettuce to dry it. Then we sliced the radishes and onions and mixed them with the lettuce. Ready to eat.” • Camryn: “I liked it when the rabbit’s nest was moving. I
learned a lot. I learned how to grow a garden. It was fun. I learned how to wash lettuce, onions and radishes.” As you can see, the students had an eye-opening experience. Their teacher not only had a goal but also developed a plan with assistance from her students, which ultimately made it possible for them to achieve the goal of learning where their food comes from while incorporating many different aspects of education. Kudos to Mrs. Peltier and her thirdgrade students! As a spin-off from the above project, Botkins Elementary also had a raised-bed school garden this year and we are hopeful that additional schools will add this curriculum-enhancement tool. Rumor has it that another teacher is waiting in the wings to take over the Emerson School gardens due to Mrs. Peltier’s retirement. It sounds like the hands-on learning (and eating) will continue. Thank you, Mrs. Peltier, for planting the seeds of an idea and for having a plan to achieve the goal you had set for your students. Happy retirement!

Barhorst: Concert was a success BY KATHY LEESE NEWPORT — Country Concert co-owner Paul Barhorst believes that in spite of the excessive heat and brief power outage, the concert was a success. “The attendance was up each night, the crowd was great. We’ll release the exact numbers (attendance) when we have them,” Barhorst said Sunday, after wrapping up another Country Concert. “For the high temperatures, everything went smooth,” Barhorst said, noting “fans were really smart” about dealing with the heat. He noted that fans came from as far as Canada, Australia and the Netherlands. Barhorst said while there was a brief power outage, “I think our power crews did a great job.” He said Pioneer Rural Electric “was fantastic to us” in dealing with outages and he added Area Electric also provided additional support for the concert, noting they “really worked hard for us.” Following Luke Bryan’s performance Saturday evening, Barhorst said Bryan went out and walked around the crowd “dressed in flip-flops and a hat.” Barhorst said Bryan told him that he saw “people in the back had … .as much fun as in the front.” New to Country Concert this year were additional screens to allow fans to see the stage from

COUNTRY CONCERT patrons enjoy a performance by Sara Eveans Saturday in Newport. The three-day concert came to an end Saturday night. different angles. NK Telco provided camera work, Barhorst said. Barhorst said they “work hard” with vendors to make sure they have what they need during concert week. “We work hard to keep the vending costs low. They (vendors) love to come back because of the people.” Hospitality tents set up to entertain business owners and their employees and guests were suc-
cessful this year. Barhorst said they were “very well attended …. different groups that like to reward their employees or bring their customers in” enjoy the opportunity to be near the stage in the VIP area. Barhorst said Country Concert officials have a “good relationship” with regional radio stations, who “make it fun for the fans” during Country Concert. He added a lot of
sponsors offer promotions that “make it fun” for fans. Barhorst said the Country Club Saloon located near the stage provides entertainment during the hours when there are no performers scheduled on the main stage and “up-andcoming artists make their first performance” on the saloon stage. Justin Moore is one of the artists who first performed at
the saloon and now appears on the main stage. The cost of the “festitaxi,” a golf cart that transports fans from one area of the grounds to another, was reduced this year from $5 to $3 in an effort to make things more affordable for fans. Barhorst said he wanted to express his appreciation to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, American Red Cross, Med Corp, the Newport
Sportsman’s Club, the Fort Loramie Fire Department, Pioneer Electric, Jackson Center Boosters and Key II Security, who provided services during Country Concert. Barhorst wanted to make clear that “the deputies that are on site, we pay that directly.” He said county money is not used to pay their salaries at Country Concert. “The hundreds of workers …. they really …. pulled together,” Barhorst said, noting that in discussions with the sheriff and Key II Security, there were less issues this year. During Country Concert, Barhorst said they write notes “what we can do, what we can improve” for the next year’s event. In the next week or so, they will send a survey out to fans to see what artists they want to see next year and to ask other questions. Barhorst’s parents, Mike and Mary Jo Barhorst, started Country Concert, and they remain involved. “Dad’s here every day and mom still has her input,” Paul Barhorst said. Barhorst’s brothers, Scott, Mark and Tony are also involved. “We all work on it.” Today, members of the St. Henry Boosters and other groups including local young people, will begin cleanup chores and no one will know there was ever a concert, Barhorst said. Until the fans return next year.

Sharing will be Library board reviews finances comfort to teen girls
PLF decreased Suzanne Kline, the library’s executive director, explained that the PLF was decreased by 5 percent for this biennium (July 1, 2011-June 30, 2012). The state also diverted Ohio Public Library Information Network money and money for the blind and the physically handicapped from the library money, making up the additional decrease for the 7.5 percent. Expenses were $112,815, which is about 15 percent lower than the same month last year, taking into account the grant and renovations costs of last year.

General fund receipts were $172,208, with expenses at $99,985. Year to date, the library has received 43.7 percent of estimated revenue for the year, which is slightly higher than anticipated. Expenses year to date are 31 percent lower than anticipated.

In her executive director’s report, Suzanne Kline reported Senate Bill 321 has passed through both the House of Representatives and Senate and is currently waiting for signature by the governor. This bill addresses defining library boundaries to avoid double taxation from occurring in areas with levies present. Kline also reported the Botkins location’s air conditioning was being repaired by Rich Meyer. The village will pay half the cost. Kline is working with The Ohio Plan representative to assess the water damage to the ceiling. In old business, it was reported that the terms of Bruce Boyd and Mike
The board tabled the director’s performance review until the July meeting when the absent members are present. Kline will send out information to the board for consideration. In new business, Kline distributed a revised investment policy for discussion because the current policy needs to be revised. Puckett said he would obtain a copy of the city of Sidney’s investment policy for comparison. The board passed a motion to approve the proposed policy as written but with review of specifics at the July meeting. The next regular meeting will be July 18 at 7:30 a.m. at the Sidney location.
HOROSCOPE
BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Wednesday, July 11, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You need to be patient today, because this is a goofy day full of silly delays, mistakes and false starts. If you’re impatient, it only makes things worse. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) There’s an element of confusion today, because although you’re keen to do things, you feel like you’re blocked. The best way to deal with this is to slow down. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t be impatient with others, especially in group situations. Each person is trying his or her best. People are too quick to jump the gun today, that’s all. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you want to create a good impression on others, then pull in your reins a little. You cannot accomplish everything that you hope to do today, because little detours will sabotage you. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Guard against rash impulses today, especially those related to travel or dealing with people from other countries. Don’t jump to conclusions until you have all the facts. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Make friends with your bank account so that you know what you have and what you don’t have. This could save you from some kind of service charge. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be easygoing and tolerant when dealing with partners and close
friends today. Everyone is susceptible to knee-jerk reactions and impulsive behavior. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It won’t be easy to be efficient and productive at work today. Just accept this, and lower your goals. Everyone feels frustrated with different obstacles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good day to goof off and have fun. Nevertheless, parents should be extra vigilant about their kids, because this could be an accident-prone day for them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Postpone important family discussions for another time. People are too impatient and confused today. Don’t make a big deal about anything at home; just keep the peace. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is definitely the kind of day where you need to think before you speak or you’ll end up with egg on your face. (You’re not alone. Others are too quick to jump to conclusions as well.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Guard your money and possessions today against loss or theft. This is a very poor day to shop for anything other than food. YOU BORN TODAY You’re a curious blend of being social, friendly and up on the latest of whatever is going on around you, and yet, you are private, even secretive. You take pride in being socially aware, and you also take pride in your appearance. Many of you have excellent taste. A major change might take place in the coming year, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2003. Birthdate of: Giorgio Armani, fashion designer; Andrew Bird, musician; Rachael Taylor, actress/model.

DR. WALLACE: I am well aware that cocaine is an addictive, self-destructing drug, but I’m not positive what the destruction is besides death due to an overdose or driving an automobile while high. What other harm does cocaine cause to the mind and body? I’m dating a guy who recently started cocaine, but he is not addicted. He can control how often he uses the drug. — Margo, Baltimore, Md. Cocaine MARGO: and crack cocaine have been linked with paranoia and other symptoms such as insomnia, depression, seizures, heart attacks, strokes, loss of appetite, birth defects, lung infections, loss of sense of smell and skin problems. People who use cocaine for the first few times feel like they are in control. It’s like steering the ship Titanic through the North Atlantic iceberg fields. It’s just a matter of time — disaster is certain.

ARLO & JANIS
HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, July 10, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It’s easy to be impatient today. Therefore, acknowledge this and cool your jets. Not only will you feel better, so will everyone else. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might get more done working behind the scenes or working alone today. Don’t push the river, and don’t expect too much. Just get busy and finish what you have to do. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A conversation with a female acquaintance could be significant today, but you also might feel competitive with this person. Don’t get caught up playing the “I am right” game. Who really cares? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You should be aware that aspects of your private life are going to be made public today, especially in the eyes of bosses, parents and teachers. Therefore, conduct yourself accordingly. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Try to do something different today, because you’re yearning for a little adventure. By all means, travel somewhere if you can. Go someplace you’ve never been before. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Set aside some time today to take care of red-tape details concerning inheritances, wills, taxes, debt or insurance matters. Get some of this stuff out of the way. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You have to compromise with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. That’s just how it works. Go more than halfway to keep everyone happy (including you). SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have the urge to get better organized. Wonderful! When you’re better organized, your life flows more smoothly because things are easier and your mind is clearer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Take some time out today to play. Enjoy parties, sports, playful times with children or expressing yourself through the arts. It’s good to balance your work with some fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Discussions with a parent or a female relative could be significant today. Some of you will want to cocoon at home if you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You feel you have something you want to say today. You don’t want to just chat about superficial topics, you want to speak from the heart. Hopefully, someone will listen. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Pay attention to your cash flow and earnings situation. Figure out exactly how much you have and how much you owe. Don’t be casual about how you handle your money. YOU BORN TODAY Generally, many of you have a quiet personality. Most perceive you as conservative, modest and reflective. You are intelligent and do not hesitate to voice your opinions, but you are always considerate of the feelings of others. In fact, if you’re very sensitive to your surroundings, especially visually. In the year ahead, you will construct or build something important to you. Birthdate of Alice Munro, writer; Arlo Guthrie, folksinger/songwriter; Sofia Vergara, actress.

The elbows, the ermost layer. Immature
cells don’t provide the protection that fully mature cells do. Patches of skin covered with these cells become psoriatic. The genetic link to psoriasis is strong. About 50 percent of psoriasis patients can blame the illness on their genes. The number of treatments for psoriasis has increased greatly in the past few decades. Cortisone drugs applied directly to the involved skin often are the first choice for treatment. They have names like Temovate (clobetasol) and Diprolene (betamethasone). They’re available as lotions, creams, ointments and gels. Once these drugs have quieted the inflammation (that takes two to four weeks), a switch is made to vitamin D-related products such as Dovonex or Vectical.
Ultraviolet light, often combined with psoralens, drugs that sensitize the skin to UV rays, is another popular treatment. A revolutionary change in treatment has come with drugs called biologicals. Enbrel, Humira and Remicade belong to this category of drugs. These drugs have favorably changed the chances of success for those who have resistant psoriasis.

for a year, but I’m disabled and Mom was afraid of my wife. There was never a moment’s peace. Fearing for our collective health, I finally placed Mom into an assisted living facility. It was one of the hardest decisions of my life. My children criticized me but offered no alternatives. I visited her as often as possible. Because I could no longer drive, I sent someone with gifts and treats for her. Mom died in 2007 after 10 years in the facility. The last few years she didn’t know me from a doorknob. Her disease left my wife and me drained emotionally and financially. I still feel guilty for not doing more. The look of fear on her face haunts me still. Is this normal for someone in my circumstances? — ONLY CHILD IN FLORIDA DEAR ONLY CHILD:
Yes, it’s very common. I’m sorry for your mother’s passing and the difficult years you and your family experienced because of her illness. Given the progressive nature of Alzheimer’s, it can be extremely taxing and affect the physical, mental and financial health not only of the person with the disease, but also his or her caregivers. When caregivers attempt to shoulder these responsibilities alone, they put their own health at risk. Moving your mother into a residential facility was a way to ensure she got the care she needed and take care of yourself at the same time. Alzheimer’s disease is often referred to as a “marathon, not a sprint.” That’s why it’s important for caregivers to get help — whether it’s a residential facility, professional in-home
help or family and friends. If they don’t, the results can be disastrous. It’s common for caregivers to feel guilty and wish they could have done more, but it’s important that you let these feelings go. You did everything you could to ensure your mother received the best care possible. If you need to talk to someone about your feelings, call the Alzheimer’s Association toll-free 24/7 helpline at (800) 272-3900, or visit alz.org online to find a local chapter or support group. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

REPLAY 50 years ago July 9, 1962 Minster waited for a delayed chance to get back into the American Legion Junior Baseball District battle royal today after impressing the home folks with a 4-2 victory over arch rival Ft. Loramie in Saturday’s opening program. Jan Frericks spaced seven hits and mowed down an even dozen of the opposing batsman at the plate, while yielding but one walk. Bill Nagel touched off Minster’s seven-hit attack with a leadoff double in the top of the first.
25 years ago July 9, 1987 Jim Burns shot a one-overpar 37 to lead the Senior Swingers, retired men’s golf league, when they held their weekly session on Tuesday, rained out from Monday. Burns made his total on the longer back nine. Best anyone could do on the front was a 44, shot by four golfers, Bud Kritzer, Ward Bowman, Duane Ware and Don Davis. Game of the day was low net, with Burns on top with a 32.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I was wrong. I see the replay, the ball it was close, but I look at it very well and it was inside. From the dugout, I thought it was a better pitch and I see (catcher John) Buck was talking to (Bellino) and after seeing Carlos’ (Zambrano) reaction, I thought the ball was a little bit closer to the plate than what it was.

Federer wins 7th Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — A Grand Slam title drought did indeed end in Sunday’s historic and riveting Wimbledon final, only it was Roger Federer’s lengthy-forhim gap between trophies that came to a close, rather than Britain’s 76-year wait for a homegrown men’s champion. Making sure everyone knows he is still as capable as ever of brilliance on a tennis court — particularly one made of grass, and with a roof overhead — Federer came back to beat Andy Murray 46, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 indoors on Centre Court for a record-tying seventh championship at the All England Club. “It feels nice,” Federer said, clutching the gold trophy only Pete Sampras has held as many times in the modern era. “It’s like it never left me.” The victory also increased Federer’s record total to 17 major titles after being stuck on No. 16 for 2 years, and clinched a return to the top of the ATP rankings, overtaking Novak Djokovic, after an absence of a little more than two years. Federer’s 286th week at No. 1 ties Sampras for the most in history. “He doesn’t want to stop now. He knows he’s going to
continue to play well and try to break seven, and he could very well end up with eight or nine Wimbledons,” Sampras said in a telephone interview. “I just think he’s that much better than the other guys on grass, and he loves the court the way I loved that court. He’s a great champion, a classy champion, and I’m really happy for him.” After a record seven consecutive Wimbledon finals from 2003-09, winning the first six, Federer lost in the quarterfinals in 2010 and 2011, then wasted two match points and a two-set lead against Djokovic in the U.S. Open semifinals last year, raising questions about whether he might be slipping. “A couple tough moments for me the last couple years, I guess,” Federer said. “So I really almost didn’t try to picture myself with the trophy or try to think too far ahead, really.” After losing in the semifinals each of the previous three years, Murray was the first British man to reach the final at Wimbledon since Bunny Austin in 1938, and was trying to become the hosts’ first male title winner since Fred Perry in 1936.

Bruce, Ludwick homer in win SAN DIEGO (AP) — AllStar Jay Bruce and Ryan Ludwick hit consecutive home runs, leading Johnny Cueto and the Cincinnati Reds past the San Diego Padres 4-2 Sunday. The win put the Reds one game behind Pittsburgh for the NL Central lead at the AllStar break. Bruce and Ludwick connected two pitches apart in the fourth inning to give Cincinnati a 3-0 lead. The Reds hit seven home runs in winning the final three of the four-game series. Cincinnati finished 6-5 on its longest road trip of the season. Cueto (10-5), who felt snubbed when he was not picked for the NL All-Star team, looked solid until he ran into trouble in the sixth inning. Cueto gave up two runs on seven hits in 5 2-3 innings and was pulled after issuing a bases-loaded walk. The righthander struck out five, walked two, and hit two batters. All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman pitched a perfect ninth for his 11th save in 15 chances. Brandon Phillips led off the Reds fourth with a single and Bruce connected against Jason Marquis (1-5) for his 18th home run. Ludwick followed with his 12th home run, a shot into the second deck in left field. The Reds came close to another home in the fifth run when Joey Votto, the NL AllStar starting first baseman, hit a deep drive into left-cen-

Center fielder Cameron Maybin took a running leap and snared the ball right at the top of the wall just as he crashed into the padding. Trailing 3-1, San Diego loaded the bases in the sixth with two outs on three singles. Pinch hitter Mark Kotsay fouled off three straight
pitches with a full count before he drew a walk from Cueto. Reliever Sam LeCure came in and retired Chris Denorfia on a fly ball. Zack Cozart doubled and scored on Phillips’ single in the seventh. It was Cozart’s 21st double, the most by a rookie shortstop prior to the All-Star break, breaking the
mark set by Boston’s Nomar Garciaparra in 1997. Marquis allowed three runs on seven hits in five innings. The righty struck out five and did not walk a batter while making consecutive starts on three days’ rest for the fifth time in his career. Marquis is 1-9 in his last 11 starts.
Rays rally for 3 in 9th, beat Indians 7-6 CLEVELAND (AP) — All-Star Chris Perez blew his first save since opening day and the Tampa Bay Rays scored three runs in the ninth inning to beat the Cleveland Indians 7-6 Sunday. Will Rhymes hit a solo homer with one out and Carlos Pena added a RBI triple after Elliot Johnson singled to tie it at 6 off Perez (0-2), who had converted 25 straight saves since giving up a lead April 5. Ben Zobrist then singled home Pena with the go-ahead run before Perez got two strikeouts to end the inning. Fellow All-Star Fernando Rodney worked the bottom half for his 25th save in 26 chances. Joel Peralta (1-3) gave up a solo homer to Shin-Soo Choo in the eighth. The Rays earned a four-game series split with their fourth win in 14 games.
It was the fourth loss in 11 games for Cleveland, which got three hits apiece from Casey Kotchman and Michael Brantley. Cleveland put runners on first and third in the ninth against Rodney, who got Kotchman to ground into a gameending forceout. Kotchman had three RBIs against his former team as Cleveland took a 5-0 lead against starter James Shields. Indians starter Zach McAllister didn’t allow a hit until No. 9 hitter Rhymes’ one-out single in the fifth. Luke Scott and Desmond Jennings each had tworun doubles in the sixth, when the Rays scored four unearned runs. Kotchman had an RBI single in the second, opened the fourth with his eighth homer, and singled home another
run in the fifth. The first baseman hit .306 for Tampa Bay a year ago before signing with Cleveland as a free agent in February. Johnny Damon, who also left the Rays to sign with the Indians this spring, tripled to open the third, just missing a home run with a drive off the top of the wall in right center. He scored when Shields threw the ball away trying for a pickoff. Damon trotted home on the error for a 2-0 lead. Two outs later, Jason Kipnis doubled. He scored when Travis Hafner then hit a high bouncer that went under the glove of third baseman Jeff Keppinger for another error. Kipnis singled to start the fifth and later scored on Kotchman’s third hit for a 5-0 lead.

Hunter-Reay makes it 3 in a row TORONTO (AP) — Coming off two wins on oval courses, Ryan Hunter-Reay showed he can dominate a street course when he cruised to the Honda Indy Toronto title on Sunday. Hunter-Reay led the final 28 laps of the 85lap race and also moved in front in the series points race. He is the first American-born driver to win three straight IndyCar races since AJ Allmendinger in 2006, whose third victory also came at Toronto. He leads Will Power by 34 points in the series standings, becoming the first American to top season-long race since Sam Hornish Jr. won the title in 2006. Hunter-Reay won under caution after numerous pileups followed
a restart with three laps remaining. The trouble began when Sebastien Bourdais bumped and went into the wall on Turn 1. A few seconds later, Dario Franchitti, Ryan Briscoe, Simon Pagenaud and Ed Carpenter became entangled in Turn 3. Hunter-Reay made it through, just beating Charlie Kimball to the corner and holding him off before the yellow flags. Kimball finished second, followed by Mike Conway. “Three in a row, I don’t know what to think about this,” Hunter-Reay said. “It really shows that this team can get it done on all venues.” Hunter-Reay’s eighth career victory was his fourth in his last 18 races. He finished third last year in Toronto. The winning streak also means three consecutive victories for Chevy

Franchitti, the defending champion and pole winner, continued to struggle. The Scot finished 17th, in part because of a dreadful first pit stop in which he stopped too far from the
Stewart wins Daytona BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — There was no fire or rain. Still, another frantic finish at Daytona International Speedway. Stewart Tony emerged the winner, charging past Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth on the last lap and holding on as the challengers stacked up behind him Saturday night in one of Daytona’s trademark wrecks. “I don’t even remember what happened that last lap,” Stewart said. Stewart has 18 victories at Daytona, second only to the late Dale Earnhardt’s 34 wins. None of Stewart’s wins are in the Daytona 500, though. Stewart is 0 for 14 in NASCAR’s biggest race of the year and was a non-factor in February, when the race was delayed a day by rain and then stopped more than two hours for a massive jet dryer fire. “I wish I could trade a couple of these races in for just one Sunday race in February,” he said of the Daytona 500. But he’s always strong in the summer race at Daytona, and this visit was no different. Stewart qualified second but dropped back to 42nd at the start of the race because his time was thrown out by NASCAR after his Chevrolet failed inspection. He quietly rode
Kevin Harvick becomes father day after Daytona
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kevin Harvick became a father on Sunday, a day after his wife flew home unexpectedly from Daytona International Speedway. Keelan Paul Harvick was born Sunday in North Carolina. He is the first child for Kevin and DeLana Harvick. “Waiting on Keelan was the longest nine months of my entire life,” Kevin Harvick said in a statement. “But time literally stood still when I held our baby for the first time. I’ve accomplished a lot in my life that I’m proud of, but those moments don’t hold a candle to becoming a father and seeing that little face looking up at you. “DeLana and I are just amazed by how special and rewarding this is.” DeLana Harvick had been in Daytona leading AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack into Saturday night’s race, but returned to North MICHAEL WALTRIP (55), Tony Stewart (14) and Juan Pablo Montoya (42), of Carolina for precautionary reasons. Harvick had Colombia, drive past Denny Hamlin (11) as he comes down on the track apron Kenny Wallace on standby during the race in case during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Daytona International he needed to get home. Speedway, Saturday in Daytona Beach, Fla. around — which is his style at restrictor-plate races — and let Roush Fenway Racing teammates Kenseth and Greg Biffle control the front. “We were going to try to win the thing and be there at the end,” Biffle said. “We were right there.” The Roush drivers thought they had the field covered — Kenseth led a race-high 89 laps and Biffle led 35 — and they probably still liked their chances on the final green-whitecheckered restart. Kenseth was the leader with Biffle on his bumper, as second-place Stewart was lined up with Kasey Kahne. Kenseth and Biffle pulled away for a lap, but Stewart came quick on the outside, moved to the front, then crossed down the track in front of Kenseth for the lead.
Seconds later, Biffle seemed to wiggle in traffic and cars began wrecking all over the track in what was tallied to be a 15-car accident. “I’m not really sure what happened, they just started wrecking behind us,” said Kenseth, who started from the pole in his bid to become the first driver since 1982 to sweep the two Daytona races in the same season. “It seems like we always end these things in green-white-checkers, and whenever you do, really anybody that’s in the front few tandems has a shot to win the thing. It’s so unpredictable. You do things those last two laps that you’d never do the rest of the race. It’s really hard to figure. You sit out there and ride around and be leading the whole race and come down to
one of the green-whitecheckers and have no idea where you’re going to finish.” The final results showed Jeff Burton came from nowhere to finish second in a Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, followed by Kenseth in a Ford and Joey Logano in a Toyota. Stewart teammate Ryan Newman, who was involved in a pit road incident with Kahne and Jeff Gordon, finished fifth. Roush driver Carl Edwards was sixth and was followed by Kahne, Brad Keselowski in a Dodge and Michael Waltrip. Bobby Labonte rounded out the top 10. Denny Hamlin, who battled a bad back all weekend, raced for the win late but was involved in an accident that dropped him to 25th.
Penske calls driver’s suspension ‘disappointing’ ports NASCAR’s drugtesting policy and isn’t sure whether the suspension will be a public relations blow to his racing team. “I think if you look at sports, things like this happen,” said Penske, who arrived in Toronto on Saturday night. “It’s unfortunate, but I don’t want to really make a statement pro or con right now. I’m counting on the test being proper for him within 72 hours, and at that point they’ll make a decision.” The temporary suspension was announced by NASCAR on Saturday evening, 90 minutes before Allmendinger was scheduled to race at Daytona International Speedway. Allmendinger’s “A” sample
taken last weekend at Kentucky Speedway came back positive, and the driver has 72 hours to request his “B” sample be tested. The news forced Penske Racing to scramble in getting Sam Hornish Jr. to fill in for Allmendinger. Penske flew Hornish in from Charlotte, N.C., and he arrived minutes before
the race began. Penske said Hornish was his first choice as a fill-in, but added it’s too early to discuss whether Hornish will take over if Allmendinger’s suspension is upheld. Allmendinger was hired in late December by Penske to fill the seat that opened when Kurt Busch split with the organization.

TORONTO (AP) — Roger Penske was disappointed after learning his NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger was suspended for a failed drug test. But the team owner added Sunday it’s too early to reach any conclusions until getting the results of Allmendinger’s second test in the next few days. “You know it’s a disappointment at this particular time, but we’re going to wait and see what the second test results are before we make any comment or decisions. I don’t think it’s fair to him,” Penske said outside the Team Penske pits at the Honda Indy in Toronto. He has three cars in the afternoon’s race. Penske said he sup-
wall. That cost him extra time as a crew member had to move his car closer because the fuel hose couldn’t reach. Power ran into trouble on the 56th lap and finished 15th. He had
contact with Josef Newgarden on the course, and it was enough to damage his front wing, which eventually fell off and slashed his left tire. That forced Power back into the pits. Power then pitted again five laps later to have his new front wing adjusted. Hometown favorite James Hinchcliffe finished 22nd after his engine failed. He had been running fourth 28 laps in. Hinchcliffe had no luck with his engines this week. He qualified ninth, but an unapproved engine change on Friday forced him to start 19th. “We had a mechanical issue and started losing power in the engine, and it’s too bad,” said Hinchcliffe, who grew up outside of Toronto. “It’s a heartache to go out early here.”

Indians put pitcher on disqualified list CLEVELAND (AP) — Nick Hagadone will not be pitching for the Cleveland Indians or any other team for a while. The Indians placed Hagadone on their minor league disqualification list Sunday, one day after optioning him to Triple-A Columbus. The left-hander will be examined by hand specialist Dr. Tom Graham at Cleveland Clinic on Monday. “This is the result of a self-inflicted injury to his pitching hand,” Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said. “We are certainly disappointed in his reaction. We all share his frustration, but wish he had handled it differently.” Antonetti would not reveal details, except to say the injury came after Hagadone had a bad relief outing against Tampa Bay on Friday night. The 26year-old rookie gave up two hits, walked two and allowed two runs while recording two outs. Hagadone will not be paid while he is on the disqualified list, but can participate in workouts when he is cleared to do so. Antonetti said his understanding was Hagadone could be kept on the list until the injury heals, though the Indians have been on contact with
Major League Baseball regarding the matter. “This is a unique situation for us, so we’re seeking advice on how to handle everything,” Antonetti said. Antonetti said any player could file a grievance over any team decision, but the Indians had not been contacted in that regard. “He is very remorseful and sorry,” Antonetti said. “He could be out a while.” Hagadone’s spot on the Indians’ roster was taken by lefty Scott Barnes, recalled from Columbus on Sunday. Hagadone was 1-0 with a 6.39 ERA in 27 relief appearances for Cleveland. He opened the season in Columbus and was recalled April 27 when veteran reliever Rafael Perez went to the disabled list. Hagadone compiled a 0.87 ERA in his first nine outings. He then struggled to command his pitches in the strike zone and gave up 12 runs, 14 hits and seven walks over 5 2-3 innings in his last seven appearances. Hagadone was considered a key part of the trade that sent All-Star catcher Victor Martinez from Cleveland to the Boston Red Sox at the 2009 trading deadline.

title matches of his career: Ivan Lendl, who is coaching Murray now and sat in his guest box with chin planted on left palm, as expressionless as he was during his playing career. While Lendl never did win Wimbledon, perhaps Murray can take solace from knowing his coach did end up with eight Grand Slam titles. “I’m getting closer,” Murray told the crowd afterward, his voice cracking and tears flowing. “Everybody always talks about the pressure of playing at Wimbledon, how tough it is,” he said. “It’s not the people watching; they make it so much easier to play. The support has been incredible, so thank you.” The Scotland native was urged on by 15,000 or so of his closest friends in person, along with thousands more watching on a large video screen a short walk away across the ground — not to mention the millions watching the broadcast on the BBC. The afternoon’s first roar from those in attendance came when Murray jogged to the baseline for the prematch warmup; there even were cheers when his first practice stroke clipped the top of the net and went over. Any omen would do.

turned 25 in May 1934, shortly before he won his first of three consecutive Wimbledon titles; 2012 is Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, celebrating her 60-year reign, just as 1977, when Virginia Wade won the Wimbledon women’s championship, was the Silver Jubilee, marking 25 years on the throne; on Saturday night, Jonathan Marray (paired with Frederik Nielsen of Denmark) became the first Brit to win a men’s doubles title at Wimbledon since — yes, that’s right — 1936. Royalty — real and of a celebrity nature — began arriving more than a half-hour beforehand: Prince William’s wife, Kate, and her sister, Pippa Middleton; British Prime Minister David Cameron; soccer star David Beckham and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria. Also present in the Royal Box: Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, who wants Scotland to break away from Britain. Early on, every point Murray won earned cheers as though the ultimate outcome had been decided. Every miss, even a first-serve fault, drew moans of “Awwwwwww,” as though their lad had lost any chance.
KOHLER, Wis. (AP) — Na Yeon Choi survived a triple bogey and a few more shaky moments on the back nine Sunday to win the U.S. Women’s Open at Blackwolf Run. It’s the first major and sixth career LPGA Tour victory for the 24-yearold South Korean star, who came into the tournament ranked fifth in the world. Choi shot a 1-over 73 on Sunday and finished at 7 under for a fourstroke victory. Fellow South Korean player Amy Yang had a 71 to finish second. Choi came into Sunday with a six-stroke lead after shooting a 7under 65 on Saturday. She got into trouble when she triple-bogeyed No. 10, but recovered to win at the same course where Se Ri Pak won South Korea’s first major title in 1998. Pak was among a group of friends who met Choi after she putted out on the 18th green, showering her with hugs — and victory champagne. Choi becomes the fourth South Korea player to win the event in the five years, following Inbee Park (2008), Eun-Hee Ji (2009) and So Yeon Ryu (2011).

MYRON STUTZMAN, of Shipshewana, Ind., rides the mechanical bull at Country Concert Saturday. people really depend on public safety the most,â&#x20AC;? Lenhart said. For the vendors, it was a hot week. Ginger Kiefer, area manager of Pizza Hut, said they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;very busy, very good year.â&#x20AC;? She noted that it was the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20th year at Country Concert and she added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;by far, the hottest year.â&#x20AC;? Kiefer said the heat and loss of power at one point made it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very challenging year,â&#x20AC;? but she added, they had â&#x20AC;&#x153;very good sales.â&#x20AC;? She acknowledged the work of Pizza Hut employees, noting they are a good staff and â&#x20AC;&#x153;definitely troupersâ&#x20AC;? in the heat. Kyle Johnson with Cox Concessions, said he came to Country Concert from the NASCAR races in Kentucky, where the heat was even worse. This was his first time working at Country Concert.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty niceâ&#x20AC;Ś.people are really friendly. I was pretty impressed with the turnout.â&#x20AC;? Johnson said their company â&#x20AC;&#x153;had pretty good salesâ&#x20AC;? and he said their employees had no heat-related problems, noting they were encouraged to keep ice packs with them. Knief, Whitney working at the VIP gate with the Jackson Center Boosters, said the heat was â&#x20AC;&#x153;badâ&#x20AC;? and noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Jackson Center Boosters do this every year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good fundraiser.â&#x20AC;? She said she wanted to thank all of the volunteers who braved the heat. Renee Hemm, from Miami County, who was seated in the VIP area, said it was her first time at Country Concert and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would categorize it as a country Woodstockâ&#x20AC;Ś.Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still enjoying it.â&#x20AC;?
Neal and Elaine Siefring from New Weston were attending for the third time. Elaine said they enjoyed the music and visiting with people they know. Luke McCarthy and Matt Turnbull from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, enjoyed Country Concert, but found the heat difficult to deal with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A little more than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel welcome around here,â&#x20AC;? McCarthy said. They were attending for the first time. McCarthy said they wanted to thank a car parts store owner and his son from Fort Loramie who went out of their way to help them with a car problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (owner) gave us his home phone numberâ&#x20AC;? in case they had additional problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the greatest weekend ever,â&#x20AC;? Turnbull said.

Lenhart said the use of the Regional Homeland Security Command vehicle, an RV belonging to the Emergency Management Agency (EMA), which belongs to a five-county area, was a huge help. It is customized for events such as Country Concert, allowing sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officials to run their entire operation including dispatch, from the vehicle. The air conditioning in the RV helped officers cope as they kept an eye on things dressed in full black uniforms. Lenhart advised his deputies to â&#x20AC;&#x153;stay in the shadeâ&#x20AC;? and drink lots of water. Officer shifts were staggered so fresh crews were coming in throughout the weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Considering what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with, I thought things went extremely well,â&#x20AC;? Lenhart said, although there were arrests for offenses ranging from disorderly conduct and resisting arrest to indecent exposure. On Thursday night, there were 14 arrests, 28 summons and one fire call, involving a man trying to fuel his generator, that resulted in him being burned and transported to the hospital. Lenhart was uncertain of his condition. Lenhart noted there were 20 rescue calls and 10 transports on Thursday night. On Friday, there were 11 individuals arrested, five individuals were incarcerated at the Shelby County Jail and six summons were issued. A total of 25 people were treated for health-related concerns and four individuals were transported to the hospital. As of early Saturday evening, 14 citations were issued, 30 people were treated for medical problems and five people were transported to the hospital. There were arrests made Saturday, although Lenhart did not have exact figures as of press time. Lenhart said 63 people who were charged with underage drinking. The sheriff emphasized those are people ages 18-20 years old. There were no drug related arrests during the event. The sheriff reported that the Ohio Investigative Unit (OIU) had 67 individuals who received summons at Country Concert, with approximately six or seven who were arrested. OIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers are separate from other law enforcement numbers for the event. Most of those cited or arrested by OIU were for prohibitions violations or other offenses such as resisting arrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on the numbers and the heat, thank God nobody was seriously hurt,â&#x20AC;? Lenhart said. The sheriff said it is one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;few eventsâ&#x20AC;? where Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office officials use squad cars, ATVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, golf carts and walk on foot to handle the crowds. Lenhart wanted to thank his office and other Shelby County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office employees who worked at Country Concert and thanked Darke, Auglaize and Mercer County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices for providing assistance in addition to the Fort Loramie Fire Department, Med Corp from Lima and the OIU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the times
