of Jefferson High School band members, that

teacher is Michael Wark.
More than 150 former band members and
band parents donned the red and black and
hit the pavement just like old times to bid
farewell to their mentor Saturday.
Launched through a Facebook effort, 1996

graduate Heather Lynn Osting spread the

work of the Warks imminent departure to be
closer to aging parents. She sent out the call
for a farewell party that started with a march
from Jefferson High School and ended at the
Warks home on Westbrook, a familiar place
to many who participated in practice in the

back yard.
I heard the cadence and I told Mike he better get out there, Robin Wark said Saturday.
The Warks were greeted by the faithful
alumni in rank and file.

Spencerville bike patrol conceals officers

S P E N C E RV I L L E

Spencerville Police Chief Darin

Cook said that the bike patrol is an
invaluable law enforcement tool
allowing for easier, safer and costeffective patrolling.
Typically, bike patrols occur
during the latter part of the second
shift and a lot more on the third
shift and on Sundays when there
isnt a lot of traffic.
The bad guys are out there
looking for cruisers not bikes, he
said. We are concealed while on
the bikes. We blend in and track
much more easily.
Cook said the bikes allow us
to travel down alleys and other
routes a criminal on foot may run
and hide.
Arrests are made much easier
and we are catching people drinking and doing drugs in cars and
breaking into homes or cars, he
reported.
If an officer makes an arrest
while on bike patrol, the individual in custody is walked back
to the police station. When an

back to the station to get the

scene to pick up and transport
the individual to jail.
Our guys like riding and volunteer to do extra work on patrol,
he said. I encourage them to ride
for the health benefits.
Cook said 15 years ago, he
stopped an individual driving a
moped while intoxicated and he
had to pedal pretty fast and shift
gears to catch up with him.
I got beside of him, grabbed a
hold of him and told him he had
better stop or we were both going
down, Cook said.
These days Cook does not get
to ride as much as he would like.
Spencervilles bike patrol started in the late 1990s when the Allen
County Sheriffs Department
invited the officers to participate
in a 40-hour course.
The majority of the time we
spent riding bikes, Cook said.
We started out on small rides and
by the end of the course, we rode
from Limas Fraternal Order of
Police hall on Robb Avenue, down
the country roads to Delphos and
back to Lima.
Cook said the 18-speed

the patrol cost $400-$500.

Mastiff wins big at local dog show

DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
LIMA Owner/handler Babette Stewart
and her two-year old Neapolitan Mastiff, New
Moon Renesmee Reese for short won
big during Sunday afternoons 119th AllBreed Dog Show held the weekend of June
28 at the Lima Kennel Club Show Grounds.
Reese competed against four other
Mastiffs during the event and took First Place
(Winners Bitch) in her breed and received a
purple ribbon. She then went on to compete in
the Best of Breed Competition where she took
Best of Opposite (BOS) the female version
of the Best of Breed (BOB) which is the
highest award in that breed and received a red
and white ribbon.
The judge left the ring and said she really,
really liked Reese,she said. She performed
very well.
Stewart said to win in a class, the dogs
have to be the same breed and the number of
points are determined by how many females
are in the class.
There were a total of 939 dogs entered in
the show with a total entry of 961 dogs in 140
different breeds or varieties.
Stewart has shown Reese in over 20 dog
shows and with their wins in Lima recently,
the duo has accumulated 14 points.
When a dog has received 15 points he/
she is a champion and holds the title all his/
her life.

Prior to a show, Stewart works with Reese

on her posture showing her how to stand or
stack them and socializing skills.
We socialize them so they are comfortable around people and used to being touched
by judges while they inspect them, she
explained.
The Lima Kennel Clubs judging procedures include a judge inspecting each dog in
the ring and comparing him/her to a mental
picture of the perfect dog of that breed. The
dogs are judged on:
Physical structure (head, teeth, feet, bone
structure, muscle tone, etc.)
Condition (proper weight, condition of
coat, animation, etc.)
Gait as seen from front, side, and rear
Temperament penalizing heavily for
shyness or viciousness
Stewart began following in her mother,
Sherry Sublers footsteps one and-one-half
years ago when she starting showing Reese.
Subler traveled to the Westminster Dog
Show in New York with Reeses sibling New
Moon Carlisle in December 2013 where he
won an Award of Merit as an exceptionally
nice dog and select dog, which means if the
if winner wouldnt have been there, he would
have won.
He was only 18 months old competing
against two and three year olds, Subler said.
We said that if he could win one of those
awards, we would be happy.

Nonprofits contraceptive
cases next for justices
RACHEL ZOLL
Associated Press

WASHINGTON How
much distance from an
immoral act is enough?
Thats the difficult question behind the next legal
dispute over religion, birth
control and the health law
that is likely to be resolved
by the Supreme Court.
The issue in more than
four dozen lawsuits from
faith-affiliated charities,
colleges and hospitals that
oppose some or all contraception as immoral is how
far the Obama administration must go to accommodate them.
The justices on June 30
relieved businesses with
religious objections of their
obligation to pay for womens contraceptives among a
range of preventive services
the new law calls for in their
health plans.
Religious-oriented nonprofit groups already could
opt out of covering the contraceptives. But the organizations say the accommodation provided by the administration does not go far
enough because, though they
are not on the hook financially, they remain complicit
in the provision of government-approved contraceptives to women covered by
their plans.
Anything that forces
unwilling religious believers
to be part of the system is
not going to pass the test,
said Mark Rienzi, senior

counsel for the Becket Fund

for Religious Liberty, which
represents many of the faithaffiliated nonprofits. Hobby
Lobby Inc., winner of its
Supreme Court case last
month, also is a Becket Fund
client.
The high court will be
asked to take on the issue
in its term that begins in
October. A challenge from
the University of Notre
Dame in South Bend,
Indiana, probably will be the
first case to reach the court.
The Obama administration argues that the accommodation creates a generous
moral and financial buffer
between religious objectors
and funding birth control.
The nonprofit groups just
have to raise their hands and
say that paying for any or all
of the 20 devices and methods approved by government
regulators would violate
their religious beliefs.
To do so, they must fill
out a government document known as Form 700
that enables their insurers or
third-party administrators to
take on the responsibility of
paying for the birth control.
The employer does not have
to arrange the coverage or
pay for it. Insurers get reimbursed by the government
through credits against fees
owed under other parts of the
health law.
Houses of worship and
other religious institutions
whose primary purpose is to
spread the faith are exempt
from the requirement to offer

birth control.
The objections by religious nonprofits are rooted
in teachings against facilitating sin.
Roman Catholic bishops
and other religious plaintiffs
argue that filling out the government form that registers
opposition to contraceptives,
then sending the document
to the insurer or third-party administrator, is akin to
signing a permission slip to
engage in evil.
In the Hobby Lobby case,
the justices rejected the
government argument that
there was no violation of
conscience because the link
between birth control coverage and the outcome the
employer considers morally
wrong was slight.
Just hours after the
Hobby Lobby decision, the
11th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Atlanta granted
a temporary reprieve to
the Alabama-based Eternal
Word Television Network.
Judge William H. Pryor Jr.
said in a separate opinion in
that case that the administration turns a blind eye to
the undisputed evidence that
delivering Form 700 would
violate the Networks religious beliefs.
But the Supreme Court
could draw a distinction
between subsidizing birth
control and signing a document to deputize a third-party
to do so, said Robin Fretwell
Wilson, a family law specialist at the University of
Illinois College of Law.

Guardsman seeks light

sentence in bomb case

COLUMBUS (AP) An attorney for an Indiana

Guardsman who pleaded guilty to having homemade
explosive devices in his vehicle in Ohio is seeking time
served plus 18 months of house arrest for his client.
Andrew Boguslawski, who goes by his middle name,
Scott, admitted in April to possessing unregistered explosives in his car when he was stopped in January. He faces
10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at his Aug. 8 sentencing in federal court.
Boguslawski, 44, of Moores Hill, Indiana, had nine
unregistered bombs in his car and four devices that could
be converted into bombs when state police stopped him for
driving 88 mph in a 70 mph zone on Interstate 70, according to his plea agreement.
The government says he was on his way back to Indiana
after visiting family in Pennsylvania.
Sentencing Boguslawski to the time he has served in
county jail since his January arrest, followed by 18 months
of house arrest, is enough to ensure he is fully rehabilitated, defense attorney Steve Nolder wrote in a court filing
Thursday.
He is not a future threat to society, as he has not committed any acts of violence and fully understands the ramifications of his conduct, Nolder said.
Boguslawski has already paid for his crime by losing
his factory job while in jail, and he will likely be drummed
out of the National Guard under other than honorable
conditions, losing pension and medical benefits, Nolder
said.
The government has yet to file its position on sentencing.
Nolder has said Boguslawski played the role of an
enemy fighter when he helped train troops departing for
war zones and wanted to make the job as real as possible.
Over time, Boguslawski started to add explosives to the
training and gradually became reckless in his approach to
the homemade weapons, according to Nolder.
Investigators found numerous videos and photographs
showing Boguslawski, family members and associates
including Boguslawskis 16-year-old niece blowing up
several devices, according to a criminal complaint filed
this year.
Video evidence showed that Boguslawski had used
explosive devices as weapons and distraction devices near
civilians and military personnel, according to the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The government says nine of the devices could have caused injuries or death if they went off.
The devices were described as heavy plastic bottles
filled with explosive flash powder with fuses in lids for
ignition.

thick cosmetics making the 19-year-old
seem unnaturally tan for the time of
year prompted Melinda Coffman to
rethink the work she was doing.
After I saw her in the casket, I knew
I could do better, recalled Coffman, a
Franklinton resident. I knew I could
make her look more like Lindsay.
Within two months of the April 2006
service, she had left a job in house painting and demolition, and started college
to become a licensed mortician and
funeral director.
Coffman is among a growing number
of young people entering the mortuary
field who have no family background in
the business, according to a 2013 survey by the National Funeral Directors
Association.
The survey showed that 90?percent
of the respondents 616 students from
31 mortuary schools nationwide
would each become the first in a family
to pursue a career as a funeral director.
The profession has long been dominated by families that hand down the
trade from one generation to the next.
Its become a profession thats

Community meal set at church

become attractive to other people who

have an interest in that line of caregiving, said Jessica Koth of the association.
The science and compassion required
for embalming and other funeral-home
duties represent a big part of the appeal,
according to Coffman and others, as the
efforts help put the departed in a positive
light for the final send-off.
The job consists of turning a body
that you wouldnt want anybody to see
into something the public can see and
remember, said Coffman, who, at age 32,
recently completed her final week of training before taking the Ohio licensing exam.
Coffman spent the past year as an
apprentice for Shaw-Davis Funeral
Homes.
Despite her desire to pursue such
work, the classes she took at the
Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science
the only such licensed school in the
state posed their share of challenges.
She recalled, for example, how she
almost got sick during her first cadaver
lab a case of suicide.
I felt my stomach turn, and I thought,
Oh, my God, am I made for this?
The next lab proved easier, though.

She worked her way from the periphery of each session to the middle of the
action, her passion steadily growing.
Coffman continues to work temporarily at Shaw-Davis, where she tends
to all aspects of the business from
answering the phone and meeting families to embalming the dead.
Embalming, she said, proves especially gratifying.
Viewing is the first step for grief and
closure. If you dont get to see that person
in that state of obviously being dead but
obviously being peaceful, then I think it
would be hard for people to move on.
Kaleb Swinehart entered the mortuary field because of the prospect of
building connections with grieving
strangers a way to debunk the stereotype that funeral-home directors are
cooped up in a little dark area in their
black suit or tinkering in a morgue all
day.
Swinehart, a 25-year-old downtown resident who works for the O.R.
Woodyard Funeral Home, tries to tailor
his approach to the personalities of the
families with whom he works.

National group joins search for missing boy

DAYTON (AP) A national group joined
in the search for a 4-year-old boy missing
since March from southwestern Ohio.
Texas Equusearch joined local volunteers in Dayton on Saturday to search the
area around the Stillwater River for Zaden
McKnight, the Dayton Daily News reported.
Police believe the boy is dead, and volunteers
have said they want to bring his body back to
his family.
McKnight and his mother, Nichelle
McKnight, disappeared in March. Dayton
police found the 25-year-old mothers body
April 11 on an embankment in the Dayton
suburb of Harrison Township. She had two
gunshot wounds to the head.

coordinator, said about 40 volunteers worked

from about 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. without finding
the boy. The group used canoes, kayaks and
electronic equipment.
Zaden McKnight and his mother were
last seen shortly after Nichelle McKnight
allegedly confronted her boyfriend, Antwan
Anderson, about thefts. Anderson died from a
self-inflicted gunshot wound during a police
shootout after a pursuit April 7.
Rader said his groups involvement could
be useful beyond Saturday.
Part of our goal is to educate, so some of
these methods can be used in other searches,
he said.
Texas Equusearch has been involved in
several high-profile missing person cases.

herbs was important for survival. The Allen
County Master Gardeners will bring samples
of herbs and plants that were commonly used
during pioneer days.
Our ancestors couldnt walk into stores
and buy ready-made clothes. They learned the
skills of spinning, weaving and sewing. The
Hog Creek Spinners and Weavers Guild will
share some demonstrations in the ancient art
of fiber.

Cougars keep on winning in ACME

By JIM METCALFE
DHIMedia Staff Writer

ELIDA Van Wert lost its first
ACME District Tournament game
Saturday morning at Ed Sandy Memorial
Field in Elida.
The Cougars have battled back
by winning the next two, including
Saturday afternoons 8-3 victory over
Lima Central Catholic to oust the
Thunderbirds.
Van Wert (15-7) opened the scoring in the top of the first against LCC
starter Bitler Rumer (4 1/3 innings, 4
hits, 4 earned runs, 5 bases-on-balls, 2
strikeouts). Justice Tussing led off with
a double to deep left and scored on consecutive bounceouts to second by Joe
Lisa and Brandt Henry.
The T-Birds retaliated with a run in
the home half against Van Wert righthander Kaleb Jenkins (6-plus IPs, 8
hits, 3 runs, 2 earned, 5 BBs, 5 Ks; 114
pitches, 72 strikes): a 1-out walk to
Jacob Judy, a steal and a single to left by
Liam Stolly.
Kaleb pitched a great game. You
could see him grow in confidence as the
game wore on, starting to hit his spots
more consistently, Cougar ACME head
coach Carlin Dunlap noted. It seemed
every time he needed a big out, he got
it against a good team. On the other
hand, we got a big 3-run double by
Gavin (Gardner) in the fifth and that just
seemed to open it up for us.
LCC left a pair of runners on in the
second, two of the 11 they stranded for
the game.
The Cougars left a pair of runners on
in the third (Ryan McCracken and Lisa).
Van Wert went up 3-1 in the fourth.
Ryan Stoller singled to left, stole second
and took third on a wild pitch. Caleb
Fetzer walked. The Cougs turned a double steal to plate Stoller and put pinchrunner Bryan Mills at second. Mason
Carr walked. An out later, McCracken
forced Carr at second to put runners
on the corners. Jenkins helped his own
cause with a single to right to plate Mills
for a 3-1 edge.
The T-Birds got within 3-2 in the
home fourth on a 1-out strikeout in the
dirt, allowing pinch-hitter Keaton Meyer
to be safe, a Regan Altenbach single and
a 2-out Judy double.
The Cougars made it 6-2 in the fifth.
With one down, Henry singled and stole
second. Stoller walked to finish Rumer

Sunday at Elidas Ed Sandy Memorial Field. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
for Thomas Williams (2 2/3 IPs, 4 hits,
4 earned runs, 2 BBs). A wild pitch
advanced both runners. Fetzer bounced
to third and Henry was caught too far off
third, getting into a rundown and being
tagged out at home. However, that still
left runners at second and third. Carr
walked to load the bases; Gavin Gardner
unloaded them with a double over the
right fielders head for that 6-2 lead.
Van Wert added its last two runs
in the sixth. With one down, Lisa and
Henry rapped back-to-back doubles for
one run; defensive interference allowed
Henry to go to third and he scored on a
Stoller sacrifice fly to left.
LCC chased Jenkins in the home
seventh. Judy lined a hit to right and
advanced on a wild pitch. Lima Stolly
walked and Brad Stollys sinking liner
to left loaded the bases, bringing Josh
Braun to the mound (1 IP, 2 Ks). Joe
Eisle forced L. Stolly at third but plated Judy. An out later, Joey Watkins
bounced to deep short and Eisle beat
the throw to second to load the sacks.
However, Wolfe went down on a called
third strike to end the contest.
LCC bows out at 13-7.
You dont ever want to lose but
overall, Im pleased with our summer.
We had a lot of young kids forced to
step in during the season and especially

explained. We had some usual player
missing due to vacations and such and a

varsity pitching.
Van Wert plays Bath at 6 p.m. today
in the winners bracket. Should they
win, those two teams will play against
Tuesday for a berth in he ACME State
Tournament at Archbold.
That game today was set up by Bath
knocking LCC into the losers bracket
with a 4-1 victory earlier Sunday.
Chase Clark threw a gem for the
Wildcats, going the distance in a
99-pitch effort (62 strikes), ceding four
hits and an earned run. He walked two
and fanned nine.
Tyler Stahr had the only multi-hit
game for the Wildcats with a 2-for-3
day.
Liam Stolly tossed the first 6-plus
frames for the T-Birds (1 hit, 2 earned

Bruce HR breaks slump,

sends Reds over Brewers 4-2
By JOE KAY
Associated Press

CINCINNATI Jay Bruce had hit the

ball hard twice, only to see the worst slump
of his career get deeper. He finally ended
it with a hit that nobody was going to take
away.
Bruce emerged from his 0-for-26 skid
with a tiebreaking homer in the eighth
inning on Sunday, rallying Mat Latos and
the Cincinnati Reds over the Milwaukee
Brewers 4-2.
Bruce flied out to the wall in
center field and lined out to center
earlier in the game, so he took a
little confidence into his gamechanging at-bat.
I knew I wasnt going to go 0-for-mycareer, Bruce said. Id been making hard
contact. I really didnt feel like I was 0-forso-much.
The Reds gained a game on the NL
Central leaders by taking two of three in their
series, moving to six back. Cincinnati has
won 10 out of 15 overall.
That could have easily gone the other
way, Reds manager Bryan Price said. We
really didnt want to lose ground on this
team.
The Brewers have lost five of six but still
have the NLs best record and a comfortable
lead.
Bruce hit a 2-run shot with one out off
left-hander Will Smith (1-2), who took over
for Yovani Gallardo. Smith hadnt allowed a
homer to a left-handed batter all season, hold-

ing them to a .143 average.

Smith got ahead 1-2 in the count, then
threw a fastball that was up. Bruce pulled it
to right field, the part of Great American Ball
Park closest to the Ohio River.
A replay review overturned Ramon
Santiagos inside-the-park homer in the Reds
second.
A fan reached his mitt onto the field and
hit rightfielder Logan Schafers glove as
he tried to catch the fly ball in front of the
wall. The umpires initially ruled the ball in
play and Santiago circled the bases
as Schafer and the ball fell to the
ground.
Following a 3-minute, 46-second review, Santiago was ruled out
because of the fans interference.
Latos (2-1) allowed two runs and four
hits in a season-high eight innings. Jonathan
Broxton pitched the ninth for his sixth save
in eight chances. Closer Aroldis Chapman
wasnt available because he slightly pulled
a hamstring while running in the outfield
before the game.
Both teams were missing stars.
Brewers right fielder Ryan Braun was
sidelined by a stiff back that forced him
to leave Saturdays game. Manager Ron
Roenicke said the problem doesnt appear to
be series.
Reds first baseman Joey Votto got a day to
rest his bothersome left leg. Votto missed 23
games with a strained muscle above his left
knee and has batted .250 without a homer
since his return. The muscle isnt expected to
heal fully until after the season.

Indians Kluber dominates Royals in win

CLEVELAND (AP)
Terry Francona heard the
boos from the home crowd
and the Cleveland Indians
manager didnt mind one bit.
Francona pulled Corey
Kluber two outs short of a
complete game in Clevelands
4-1 win over Kansas City on
Sunday. The crowd of 16,991
wanted to see Kluber, who
allowed four hits and struck
out 10 in 8 1/3 innings, finish the game, and the fans let
Francona know they didnt
agree with his decision.
I dont blame them,
Francona said. If I was managing with my heart, Id have
left him in there, too.
Kluber (8-6) took a 3-hitter into the ninth before Eric
Hosmer started the inning
with a double. The righthander, who gave up a solo
homer to Mike Moustakas in
the fifth, was removed after
striking out Salvador Perez.
Kluber also heard the boos
and used the opportunity to
take a good-natured jab at his
manager.
Kip (second baseman
Jason Kipnis) was giving him
a hard time, too, he said. It
was pretty funny, I guess.
Cody Allen recorded the
final two outs for his ninth
save and Carlos Santana and
Yan Gomes homered in a
3-run second inning.

Kluber, who walked one,

retired the first seven hitters
before Jarrod Dysons infield
single with one out in the
third. Lorenzo Cain also had
an infield hit in the sixth.
Kluber
has
been
Clevelands ace all season.
He has four double-figure strikeout
games.
A lack of run support has kept Kluber
from having a better
record. He allowed
three runs over 20
2/3 innings in his
last three starts but
lost twice. Kluber
held the Dodgers to one run
in 6 2/3 innings on Monday
but was the losing pitcher in
a 1-0 defeat.
Both of Clevelands home
runs came off Danny Duffy
(5-8). Santana led off the
inning with a line drive that
barely cleared the fence in
right. Gomes followed with a
2-run homer to center.
Michael Brantley, who
went 2-for-4 to raise his average to .321, had an RBI single in the fifth.
Santanas homer came on
a 1-1 pitch and was his 13th
of the season, tying him with
Brantley for the team lead.
Ryan Raburn followed with a
single and Gomes hit his 10th
home run on a 1-0 pitch.

Cleveland has won four

out of five and moved within two games of secondplace Kansas City in the AL
Central.
Duffy allowed 10 hits and
struck out six in six innings.
The left-hander had a 1.69
ERA in six June starts
and was 3-1 with a
1.05 ERA in his last
four road starts.
The Indians placed
leadoff hitter and center fielder Michael
Bourn on the disabled
list with a strained
left hamstring. Bourn
has been battling the
injury all season and hurt it
again running the bases on
Saturday.
Left fielder Alex Gordon
and designated hitter Billy
Butler, who are both in
lengthy slumps, were out of
Sundays lineup.
NOTES: The Indians
called up OF Tyler Holt
from Triple-A Columbus
to take Bourns roster spot.
Holtz made his major league
debut as a defensive replacement in the ninth and caught
Danny Valencias fly ball to
end the game. RHP Justin
Masterson (4-5), who lasted
three innings in his last start,
will open Clevelands 4-game
series against the Yankees
today.

Cougars stay alive in Districts

ELIDA With their backs to the wall

win or go home for the summer Van
Wert lefty Ryan Stoller held down St. Marys
Memorial enough for a 6-4 victory in the
losers-bracket ACME District tournament
Saturday afternoon at Ed Sandy Memorial
Field at the Elida Athletic Complex.
Stoller threw a 112-pitch complete game
(73 strikes), ceding seven hits and four
earned runs. He walked five and fanned 10.
The Roughriders, who end the summer season 10-3, got 4-plus frames out of
right-hander Derek Jay (7 hits, 5 runs, 4
earned, 3 BBs, 1 K) and two innings from
lefty Michael Hastreiter (1 unearned run, 1
BB, 1 K).
Brandt Henry led the Cougar offense
in going 3-for-3 (2 runs), while Justice
Tussing was 2-for-4 (2 runs).
Dustin Howell was 2-for-3 for the
Roughriders, while Tristan Becker was
2-for-4.
It didnt take a lot for this team to
bounce back after a tough loss in the opener
(4-1 to LCC). Theres great leadership on
this team, Cougar coach Carlin Dunlap
noted. Weve battled all year and today
was no different. We got great pitching
performances both games today, especially
Ryan. He pitched backwards today because
St. Marys is such a good-hitting team. He
kept them off-balance.
Van Wert went up 1-0 in the bottom of
the first. Tussing chopped a hit up the gut
to lead it off, Joe Lisa walked and Henry
bunted his way aboard to load them up.
Stoller flied out to left to get Tussing across
the dish.
Memorial tied it in the top of the second on 1-out 2-baser by Dustin Howell
and a 2-out chopper to center by Michael
Hastreiter.
The Cougars broke a 1-1 tie in the home
third. Tussing beat out an infield hit to third,
Lisa sacrificed him up a base and he scored
on Henrys double to left.
The Cougars got three big tallies in the
fifth. Lisas liner to right got it started and
Henry chopped one to left. Stoller bunted
them up; an error on the play left bases
loaded. A wild pitch plated Lisa and moved
the others up a base, from where they
scored on a 2-run double to left by Caleb
Fetzer for a 5-1 edge. That finished Jay.
The Cougars made it 6-1 in the sixth
on a 1-out hit batter (Henry), an error on
Stollers grounder that put the lead runner
at third and he scored on Fetzers sacrifice
fly to center.
The Riders made it interesting in the
seventh, scoring three runs on a leadoff free
pass (Colin Burke), a Tristan Becker single,
a run-scoring 2-baser by Logan Maze and
a 2-run double to left by Isaac Fitzgerald.
A 1-out bounceout by Josh Young put

Fitzgerald at third but after a walk to

Howell, Hastreiter lined out to left to end
the Roughriders season.
In the opener, the Cougars lost 3-1 to
Lima Central Catholic.
The southpaw Henry went five innings
for the Cougars (5 hits, 3 runs, 1 earned, 5
BBs, 8 Ks). Kaleb Jenkins mopped up (1 IP,
3 BBs, 2 Ks).
Ian Friesner tossed an 84-pitch complete
game (3 hits, 1 unearned run, 3 BBs, 2 Ks).
Jacob Judy had the only multi-hit game
for either unit, going 2-for-3.
LCC scored all three of its runs in the
bottom of the third. Bitler Rumer walked
to lead it off and went to third on a single
by Judy. A wild pitch plated Rumer and
put Judy on second. Ethan OConnor sacrificed; an error allowed runners on the
corners. Liam Stolly sacrificed OConnor
to second. With Aiden OConnor at the
bat, he laid down a perfect suicide squeeze
to score Judy; however, after the umpires
ruled that Henry had stepped off the rubber on his throw home, it was ruled a nopitch. OConnor fanned and Keaton Meyer
walked to load the bases. Joey Watkins
lashed a sinking liner to left that plated
Judy and E. OConnor for a 3-0 lead; on
the sequence, Meyer was caught too far off
second and tagged out.
The Cougars got their only tally in the
top of the sixth. With one down, Henry
was safe on a 2-base throwing error on his
grounder. However, he was caught stealing
by catcher Watkins. Ryan Stoller walked
and made it to third on a wild pitch and
throwing error. He scored on Mason Carrs
line single to left.
We were fortunate to get such a good
pitching performance from Ian. It would
be a lot harder to have to come back
right away today, LCC coach Neil Ribley
noted. Ian did a nice job on the mound; he
was efficient out there and got good defense
behind him. We had some young kids making their first starts of the summer today
and they made good plays.
In the middle contest, Bath downed the
Roughriders 3-1 in another pitchers duel.
Cam Clark (7 IPs, 5 hits, 1 earned run,
3 BBs, 3 Ks; 112 pitches, 66 strikes) outdueled Joe Pfenning (7 IPs, 6 hits, 3 earned
runs, 2 BBs, 8 Ks; 95 pitches, 62 strikes).
Isaac Fitzgerald for the Riders was the
only offensive player with a multi-hit game,
going 3-for-4.

Almirola wins rain-cut NASCAR race at Daytona

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.

It had been more than 15
years since the iconic No. 43
drove to Victory Lane.
So waiting through two days
of thunderstorms and three red
flags was relatively easy for
Aric Almirola and his Richard
Petty Motorsports team.
Almirola won the raindelayed and rain-shortened
NASCAR Sprint Cup race
at Daytona International
Speedway on Sunday, putting
Pettys famed blue car back on

top for the first time since 1999.

Almirolas first Cup win
came on the same weekend
Petty celebrated the 30th anniversary of his 200th career win.
The 30-year-old Almirola was
just a baby when Petty picked
up that milestone victory.
The 43 car is without a
doubt the most famous car in
our sports history, Almirola
said. And to have that opportunity to drive that race car has
been really special from the
day that I stepped foot in it. All
I wanted to do from the very
first time I drove it was get it to
Victory Lane. It took two and a

half years I guess but I finally

did it.
Petty wasnt around for
the festivities, having already
left Daytona during one of the
many delays. He didnt miss
much considering steady rain
put a slight damper on the postrace party.
NASCAR, though, patched
through the 7-time NASCAR
champion nicknamed The
King on a conference call
afterward and talked about how
he never lost faith despite years
of struggles as a team owner.
If you look back at the
history of Petty Enterprises

and all the turmoil weve been

through, I never gave up on
the thing, Petty said. It was
one of those deals I said, OK,
if I keep working at it long
enough, were going to be able
to overcome all of this. Just
because we won a race doesnt
mean weve overcome it, dont
get me wrong. But it puts in a
higher speed track. You know
you can do it.
Everybodys got to have
a start and I think this will be
starting it pretty good.
The Coke Zero 400 was
originally scheduled to go off
Saturday night but steady rain
forced it to be postponed a day.
When it did finally get started
Sunday, it was interrupted several more times.
There were three red flags,
two of them because of huge
accidents that took out most
of the 43-car field and several top contenders. Jimmie
Johnson, Tony Stewart, Kevin
Harvick, Jamie McMurray,
Carl Edwards, Kasey Kahne,
Greg Biffle and Kyle Busch
were among those knocked out
of contention.
Biffle and Kahne started the
second massive wreck, a 25-car
fiasco that ended with Busch
getting flipped upside-down in
his No. 18 Toyota.
It just felt like a slow carnival ride, Busch said.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. Angel Cabrera won the

Greenbrier Classic on Sunday for his first non-major victory on the PGA
Tour, closing with his second straight 6-under 64 for a two-stroke victory
over George McNeill.
Cabrera, the 44-year-old Argentine whose only other PGA Tour victories
came in the 2007 U.S. Open and 2009 Masters, built a 3-shot lead before
making things interesting with a pair of late bogeys. He finished at 16-under
264 at Old White TPC.
McNeill shot a season-best 61 for his fourth top-10 of the season and
first since mid-March.
Webb Simpson had a 63 to finish third at 10 under.
Third-round leader Billy Hurley III bogeyed four of the first six holes to
fall out of contention. He shot 73 and finished in a 7-way tie for fourth at
9 under.
Bud Cauley (64), Bradley (66), Brendon Todd (66), Chris Stroud (69),
Cameron Tringale (69) and Will Wilcox (69) also finished at 9 under.
The leading four players among the top 12 not already exempt for the
British Open earned spots in the July 17-20 tournament at Royal Liverpool.
Those spots went to McNeill, Stroud, Tringale and Hurley.
FRENCH OPEN
SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France Graeme McDowell rallied
to successfully defend his French Open title, overcoming an 8-stroke deficit
in rainy conditions for a 1-shot victory.
McDowell, from Northern Ireland, closed with a 4-under 67 to finish at
5-under 279 total on Le Golf Nationals Albatross Course, the site of the
2018 Ryder Cup.
American Kevin Stadler, the leader after each of the first three rounds,
finished with a 76 to tie for second with Thailands Thongchai Jaidee (72).
Stadler had a chance to win on the last hole but he missed a long birdie
putt. He then failed to force a playoff when he missed a 3-foot par try.
LADIES EUROPEAN MASTERS
DENHAM, England (AP) South Koreas I.K. Kim won the Ladies
European Masters, closing with a 3-under 68 for a 5-stroke victory in the
final event before the Womens British Open.
Kim had an 18-under 270 total at Buckinghamshire for her first victory
since the LPGA Tours 2010 Lorena Ochoa Invitational. Australias Nikki
Campbell was second after a 67.
Northern Irelands Stephanie Meadow, the former University of Alabama
star playing her second event as a professional, matched the course record
with a 63 to tie for third at 11 under.
The Womens British Open starts Thursday at Royal Birkdale.

use your hands, except when you can
use your hands. But mostly it seems
you cant.
That seems to be a pretty good
rule that would improve almost any
sport. Golf would certainly be a much
more exciting sport if players had to
kick the ball into the hole, or use the
club with their feet. Tennis would
be absolutely thrilling. And calling
American football football would
finally make sense. Why do they call
it football when most of the time,
the players are holding the ball in their
hands or passing it with their hands?
At least have the common decency to
call it foot and hand ball.

DEAR DR. WILKINSON: Youre welcome. But I
am the one who should thank
you and the other members
of the American Academy of
Ophthalmology for their generosity in offering this program to seniors nationwide.
Readers, this is important
and I know the need is great.
To find out if you or your
loved ones qualify for this
program, visit www.eyecareamerica.org. (The online
application does not request
financial information.)
DEAR ABBY: My in-laws
are pressuring me to let them
take our small children for
overnights and trips around
the city. Im extremely uncomfortable about it because
I dont trust their supervision.
They obviously love the kids,
and Im happy theyre in our
childrens lives -- as long as
they come to our house to
visit. There have been several
instances in which they made
some questionable decisions
with respect to supervising
my little ones in public. I have

The first
men of
opera

especially because my parents

routinely watch the kids outside our home.
Whats the best way to
handle this with the least
hurt feelings? -- ST. LOUIS
MOMMY
DEAR MOMMY: This is
something you and your husband will have to discuss with
his parents TOGETHER. If
you do it alone, you will forever be blamed for favoring
your family over his. When
the discussion happens, you
should cite your reasons for
feeling the way you do. I
cant promise there wont be
hurt feelings, because there
probably already are, but your
childrens safety must come
first.

Series games, and the matches arent

even on network television. Just
cable. And when you see World Cup
matchups like Portugal vs. Ghana,
Korea vs. Belgium or Greece vs. Cote
dIvoire, it suddenly becomes clear
that what baseball so egotistically
calls the World Series is really just
a regional championship of some
minor sport. Baseballs about as much
of a world sport as hurling or hot
dog eating.
And then there are the soccer fans.
They are even more insane than the
rows of shirtless, drunken
men who show up at NFL
games spelling out their
teams name on their guts in
the middle of an ice storm.
Sheesh, its like those guys
arent even trying.
Remember the vuvuzela
debacle in South Africa four
years ago, when a stadium
full of horn-honking fans

banner that says Go Team! and

blocks your view of the game. But
this year, vuvuzelas, large banners
and other annoying items have been
banned from World Cup stadia. Not to
worry, though -- a lot of World Cup
fans like to show up in outfits that
seem to have fallen off the back of
Lady Gagas tour bus.
Someone said they dont like soccer
because its such a low-scoring game.
And its true, many games end up 1
to nothing or 2 to 1. But what if you
only got one point for a touchdown in
American football? Instead of 12 to
6, the score would be 2 to 1. Instead
of 18 to 12, the final score would be
3 to 2. It sure would make the office
betting pool simpler.
So why isnt soccer a huge sport
here in this sports-loving country?
Ive heard a lot of reasons, but Ive
never heard the right one. The right
one is: television and advertising. A
soccer game has very few commercial
breaks. Lets see, a football game
lasts an hour on the clock. With
commercials, it lasts four hours plus.
A soccer game lasts an hour and a
half on the clock, and most games are
done in two hours. A baseball game
has no time limit, but it still has plenty
of breaks for commercials. Boxing
used to be a huge sport on television,
with every round a commercial.
Soccer? Forget it. Two halves, and
the only real break is at halftime. How
much money can you make on that?
Dont worry, soccer will come
to America. As soon as they figure
out a way to stop the game every 10
minutes or so to sell us some beer.

Michael Landon
Q: From time to
time I get to see reruns
of Little House on
the Prairie. Michael
Landon is such a
sweetheart I could
cry when I think that
he was taken from us
so young. How old
was he when he died?
Where was he born? -N.R., Wall, S.D.
A: Michael Landon
was born Oct. 31,
1936, in the Forest

that if Gilligan had
needed one, it would
have been Willie.

Wark

Former band members under the direction of Mike Wark pose with he and his wife in their front yard Saturday afternoon. The group marched from Jefferson
High school to their home to show their admiration for a mentor. (DHI Media/Tony Wiechart)

Carol Buettner, left, Dick Buettner, right, and Jan Wiechart, center, share a moment with the
Warks. (DHI Media/Tony Wiechart)
(Continued from page 1)
What are you guys doing?
Mike Wark asked.
One former band member piped
up, Finding out why you never
wanted us to march in July!
How fun is this? Mike Wark
asked. You know were going be
here a while.
The Warks quickly made their
way through the group sharing hugs
and smiles. When they were done, the
marchers heard a familiar question.
Whos the best damn band in
the land? he asked the group.
We are! was the response just
like it was all those years ago.
Many felt Mike Wark made band
a safe place for students to land.
When you joined the band, you

became a part of something bigger than yourself, 1976 graduate

Diane (Blockberger) Boratko said.
He turned the whole band around.
He made you feel like you were
important and a part of everything.
We never forgot it.
The Warks debuted at Jefferson
in 1973-74 with Mike studentteaching eighth-grade band. In
1974-75, he was assistant high
school band director and took the
helm in 1975-76. Robin joined her
husband as flag corps director and
the pair worked side-by-side for
three decades before retiring in
2003.
The woman behind the reunion
was pleased with the turnout.

geeks showed up and helped us

let the Warks know how much they

mean to us and how much we will
miss them, Osting said. He was a
drill sergeant and a teddy bear all at
the same time. You wanted to hug
him but you were a little scared. Hes
the reason it was cool to be in band.
Angie (Schleeter) Rinehart, class
of 2001, agreed.
He was the only teacher who
got respect without asking for it,
she said. You just looked at him
and knew you had to give it to him.
It was the way he carried himself.
Wark also seemed to have the
knack of knowing a students
potential even if they didnt.
Mr. Wark pushed you to be
better, Osting said. He knew,
even if we didnt, that we could be
not only a good band but a great

Midwest road trip romp
Tammy boasts one of the
most bankable stars in movies McCarthy but is
a smaller, homespun movie
made for just $20 million and
directed by McCarthys husband, Ben Falcone. Despite
being savaged by critics, the
Warner Bros. release made
$32.9 million in five days
since opening Wednesday.
Why the weekend was
so weak in terms of competition is hard to tell, said
Dan Fellman, head of domestic distribution for Warner
Bros., who said he was very
pleased with the performance
of Tammy. Its just the way
things fell.
The other new wide release
was the horror flick Deliver
Us From Evil, which had
no blockbuster ambitions. The
Sony Screen Gems release,
starring Eric Bana, opened
in third with $9.5 million.

one.
Lou Best, Warks drum instructor from 1992-2002, saw first-hand
Mike Warks influence on students.
If you look at his numbers, the
guy was doing something right. He
had almost 80 percent of the students in band. The numbers dont
lie, Best said. Mike taught his
lessons but also taught them about
life. He always told me that if you
teach whats important, everything
else will take care of itself. Hes
the reason I became a teacher.
Robin Wark also saw many of
her former flag girls among the
group.
This is amazing, she said.

Also debuting was Relativity

Medias animated release
Earth to Echo, which took
in $8.3 million.
Such movies are a far cry
from the usual Independence
Day fare, which has in the
past included the opening
weekends of Spider-Man 2,
War of the Worlds, two earlier Transformers releases
and, naturally, Independence
Day.
But this years July Fourth
fell on Friday, an already
lucrative movie-going day,
and thus did little to add
incentive for blockbusters.
The World Cup, too, may
have scared off some big
releases. Next week, Foxs
Dawn of the Planet of the
Apes is expected to be one
of the summers biggest hits.
The unusual holiday
lull meant that for the first
time this summer, a movie
(Transformers: Age of
Extinction) held the top
spot at the box office for two
weeks in a row.

Funeral

Its overwhelming to see the love

pouring out of everyone.
Mike Wark said the band members made his job rewarding.
To take a piece of music you
have arranged and then teach the
kids how to play it and hear it with
your own ears and see it with your
own eyes; it was incredible, he
said.
Robin said joining her husband
with the band was a given.
When Mike got the job he told
me there was a microdot on our
marriage license that said I had to
do flags, she said with a laugh.
I looked for that microdot but I
never found it.

(Continued from page 3)

Some arrive in poor spirits or in search of a shoulder

to cry on; others tell stories about loved ones including a woman who shared how her mother became the first
escapee from the nursing home where she lived.
Swinehart takes pride in his work, he said, but nonetheless hesitates to tell other people what he does for a living
because of misconceptions.
He cited a spring conversation he had with an acquaintance outside work: She flat-out told me that it must be
the most depressing job in the world.
In reality, Swinehart said, the job is anything but.
Theres this stigma with funeral directors that theyre
weird and stuff like that. But the people I went to school
with were just like any 20- or 21-year-old person out
there.
Koth, of the funeral directors association, said funerals now more than ever are celebrations of life, not
somber gatherings.
In meeting new people every day, funeral home directors say they work to honor the lives of the relatives lost.
If were going to be dealing with their loved one,
we want to know who they were, too, Coffman said.
Unfortunately for us, we always meet them after the fact,
so we dont get to know them except for what other people
tell us.
Cornell Robinson-Carroll of the National Funeral
Directors & Morticians Association, a membership-based
trade organization for mortuary workers, said that those
without a family background in the business face an additional challenge when job hunting.

Answers to Thursdays questions:

The first pro football player to wear a face mask was
Hall of Famer Otto Graham of the Cleveland Browns in
1953. Graham was elbowed in the face in a game against the
San Francisco 49ers. After having a nasty gash inside his
mouth sewn up, he returned to the field with plastic covering the front of his leather helmet for protection. Soon after,
Browns coach Paul Brown designed and patented a singlebar face mask all team members were required to wear.
Brazil has a government agency called the Department
of Isolated Indians. The agency was established to protect
primitive tribes living deep in the jungles of the Amazon,
where they face growing threats from loggers, miners, drug
traffickers and companies exploring for oil.
