Council OKs contract to remove dirt in diesel leak

BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The city will contract with Allied Environmental for the removal of contaminated dirt in the area of a diesel fuel spill discovered by officials last month. Council approved the contract on emergency measure at Mondays meeting. According to Delphos Safety Service Director Greg Berquist, the city recovered 250 gallons of a 400-gallon spill in the line between the pump and the storage tank located across from the city building on Canal Street. The EPA is watching this closely and are calling us almost daily to see where we are with cleaning this up, Berquist said. It does need to be taken care of in a timely manner. The cost of the remediation of the impacted area will be based on the number of tons and material being removed. Berquist said landfills that do accept such materials can charge from $40-45 per ton and the total cost of the project could be more than $45,000. We really wont know what this is going to cost us until Allied gets in there and we know much removal we are talking about, Bequist said. Council passed on emergency measure legislation granting the city participation in the Moving Ohio Forward grant program to receive financial assistance for demolition of residential properties that have been abandoned by the owner or deemed blighted by the city. Berquist said there are nine such properties. The owners have been contacted and he did receive one response asking how soon the demolition could take place. Berquist said the average cost is $700 per demolition and recovery of that cost is still under scrutiny.

Jennings raises 1812 flag

Municipalities in Allen County can participate in the Moving Ohio Forward program through Lima Community Development Director Amy Sackman-Odum. The city will open bids for the Elida Road widening project on June 28. The project entails widening Elida Avenue to three lanes from The Point to Summers Lane and paving from The Point to Douglas Street. A $165,000 Ohio Public Works grant has been applied for to offset the $210,000 cost of the project. The balance of payment will come from the Motor Vehicle Permissive Tax Fund. The project has a completion date of Aug. 25, prior to the start of the 2012-13 school year. Council also passed on emergency on second reading an ordinance to use Stolly Insurance as the provider of property, general liability and fleet insurance for the next three years. The city has a current contract with Stolly that will be extended for three years. The first years premium is $69,473, approximately $2,000 less than last year. The current coverage expires on June 30. Those petitioning the city for a variance, zoning change or alley or street vacation will pay a little more to cover the cost of publishing legal notices.

Wheelmen cycle for diabetes research

BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com FORT JENNINGS In 1884, Thomas Stevens became the first man to ride across the country on a bicycle. Beginning on April 1, friends Tim Schmidt and Kevin McNatt decided to re-create the journey, right down to the bikes. The pair chose to ride modern replicas of the 1885 Victor, which they say is the Cadillac of replicas. The Victor was made by a company called Victory Bicycles in Orlando, Florida, McNatt said. I have a genuine antique at home but it wouldnt withstand the journey. Were both members of The Wheelmen, which is a non-profit organization thats dedicated to keeping what we call the golden age of American cycling alive. The bikes, which stand around 4 1/2 feet tall, attract a lot of attention with the riders perched precariously atop the exaggerated front wheel. We get a lot of questions about them like: Is it scary up there? and How do you get on and off? McNatt said. It takes some practice and once you get it down, its not really any different than a normal bicycle. You have to look ahead of you more, though, if youre planning to stop because it takes a while. It works kind of like a tricycle; you cant stop on a dime. One good thing is we dont have to worry about keeping the tires filled with air since theyre solid rubber. While adventure was certainly a prime attraction, the two had other reasons for taking the cross-country trip. I have Type 1 Diabetes and Im using this trip to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Twentyfive percent of all money raised on the trip will go straight to JDRF, Schmidt said. Weve raised about $1,500 at this point. Part of this trip is to promote the history of the old bikes as well. As a diabetic and as one of the Wheelmen, this trip has been a lifelong dream. Weve gotten a lot of attention so far. Its a really great way to meet people. With 59-year-old McNatt being a self-professed unemployed wheelman after the company he worked for closed down and 52-year-old Schmidt having his summers free as a teacher, they seized the opportunity to make their shared dream a reality. Ive made this trip twice before but on modern bicycles, McNatt said. Weve always thought about doing this on the old bikes and just decided to go for it since we both have the

time. Sometimes we question whether its a good idea or not. We left Findlay this morning and that headwind saps your strength but you have to keep grinding away. Weve encountered some hills with a 9 percent grade and theres no way we can do that, Schmidt added. Those you have to walk up as well as down, since these bikes dont really have brakes. This can be a lot of hard work but its also a lot of fun. Schmidt and McNatt were joined by Schmidts parents on Sunday, who will drive behind them until Monday, when Schmidts wife Kim will take over. Schmidt and his wife live in North East, Md., and have two children: a 15-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. McNatt lives in Mansfield, Mass. After reaching Fort Jennings Tuesday afternoon, the Wheelmen hit the 700-mile mark, having begun their journey in Lewes, Del. They plan to finish the trip somewhere in Oregon, staying in hotels along the way. Visit the JDRF web site at jdrf.org and The Wheelmen at thewheelmen.org. Checks for donations can be made out to Tim Schmidt and mailed to: 153 Forge Court, North East, MD 21901.

On Monday afternoon, Fort Jennings village officials, Bicentennial Committee members, Boy Scouts and the high school marching band participated in a ceremony to replace the U.S. flag at the villages monument on Water Street with a replica of the U.S. flag flown in 1812.

Dad wont face charges in alleged attackers death

The Associated Press SHINER, Texas Hearing his 5-year-old daughter crying from behind a barn, a father ran and discovered the unthinkable: A man molesting her. The father pulled the man off his daughter, authorities say, and started pummeling him to death with his fists. With his daughter finally safe, the father frantically called 911, begging a dispatcher to find his rural ranch and send an ambulance. Come on! This guy is going to die on me! the man is heard screaming on the 911 call. I dont know what to do! A recording of the tape was played during a news conference Tuesday where the Lavaca County district attorney and sheriff announced that the father will not face charges. In declining to indict the 23-year-old father in the June 9 killing of Jesus Mora Flores, a Lavaca County grand jury reached the same conclusion as investigators and many of the fathers neighbors: He was authorized to use deadly force to protect his daughter. Its sad a man had to die, said Michael James Veit, 48, who lives across the street from where the attack happened in this small community run on ranching and the Shiner beer brewery. But I think anybody would have done that. The family ranch is so remote that on the 911 tape, the father is heard profanely screaming at a dispatcher who couldnt locate the property. At one point, he tells the dispatcher hes going to put the man in his truck and drive him to a hospital. Hes going to die! the father screams, swearing at the dispatcher. Hes going to f----- die! The tense, nearly five-minute call begins with the father saying he beat up a man found raping his daughter. The father grows increasingly frazzled, shouting into the phone so loudly at times that the call often becomes inaudible. The Associated Press is not identifying the father in order to protect the daughters identity. The AP generally does not identify victims of sexual assault. Hes a peaceable soul, VAnne Huser, the fathers attorney, told reporters at the Lavaca County Courthouse. He had no intention to kill anybody that day. The attack happened on the familys ranch off a quiet, twolane county road between the farming towns of Shiner and Yoakum. A statement released by the district attorney said a witness who saw Flores forcibly carrying the girl into a secluded area scrambled to find

the father. Running toward his daughters screams, the father pulled Flores off his child and inflicted several blows to the mans head and neck area, investigators said. Emergency crews responding to the fathers 911 call found Flores pants and underwear pulled down on his lifeless body. The girl was examined at a hospital, and Lavaca County District Attorney Heather McMinn said forensic evidence and witness accounts corroborated the fathers story that his daughter was being sexually molested. The father was never arrested, but the killing was investigated as a homicide. Philip Hilder, a Houston criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor, said he would have been surprised if the grand jury had decided to indict the father. Hilder said Texas law provides several justifications for the use of deadly force, including if someone commits a sexual assault. The grand jury was not about to indict this father for protecting his daughter, he said. Authorities said the family had hired Flores before to help with horses on the ranch. He was not born in the U.S. but was here legally with a green card. Attempts to locate Flores relatives through public records were unsuccessful.

AKRON (AP) One dozen people have been indicted on charges of plotting to ship cocaine and marijuana from California to Ohio. The federal conspiracy indictment was unsealed Tuesday. The defendants allegedly shipped drugs in hollowed-out engine blocks from Ontario, Calif., for sale in the Akron-Canton area of northeast Ohio. The charges include money laundering and conspiracy to distribute large quantities of cocaine and marijuana. The alleged conspiracy lasted from mid-2011 through April. The indictment seeks forfeiture of property seized in the investigation, including $50,000 in cash, a Porsche, a Land Rover and a Kenworth tractor. The alleged scheme included arranging bank transactions to avoid attracting the attention of law enforcement.

This is a scam being perpetrated against hard-working Ohioans, Director Goodman said. No Ohioan should ever pay to search for unclaimed funds or receive a claim form. These services are free from the Division of Unclaimed Funds and we are the official State agency that reunites Ohioans with their lost or forgotten money. The Division has issued a cease and desist order against Unclaimed Money, LLC doing business as Unclaimed Moneydb.com. The Division ordered the company to stop charging for and producing phony and misleading unclaimed funds forms. The Division orders it to cease immediately from the illegal activity or face civil action and/or criminal prosecution. It is shameful for a company to lure people in and take their hard-earned money. We wont stand for it here in Ohio, Director Goodman said. Heres how the scheme works: You pay a membership fee to join the site and search for and receive unclaimed funds. People received a claim form that looked like it was from the state of Ohio. When they signed it and mailed it to the Division, staff recognized the phony forms and that the property ID# belonged to someone else. The Division sent the claimants official claim forms, and one claim has already been paid. I strongly encourage Ohioans to work directly with the Division of Unclaimed Funds, which receives and safeguards Ohios lost and

GROVE CITY (AP) A central Ohio man was indicted Tuesday on charges he stabbed his ex-wife to death as she picked up their two children, one of which later called 911 at his fathers request to report his mothers death. Franklin County Prosecutor Ron OBrien said 38-year-old Jeremy Roberts of Grove City, just southwest of Columbus, was charged with one count of murder and one count of aggravated murder in the death of 36-yearold Candice Roberts. He could face life in prison without parole if found guilty. Authorities said the couples 13-year-old son called an emergency dispatcher on the morning of June 10 to report the stabbing. My dad just killed my mom. He just told me to call you guys, the boy said in a recording of the call. He just ran out and killed my mom, and shes laying in the grass in front of our apartment. The boy pleaded for police not to harm his father as the dispatcher called for officers to respond to the scene. Please, guys, dont do anything to him in front of me, please, he said. He has no weapons. Roberts, who then took the phone and told the dispatcher he didnt intend to harm anyone else, asked if he could kiss his children before he met police at the front door. He was arrested shortly after officers found his ex-wife dead in a grassy area, covered by a blanket. Roberts was appointed a public defender, but court records do not list the attorneys name. He is scheduled to be arraigned Friday.

Union group uses LeBron James to target Mandel

COLUMBUS (AP) A pro-labor political organization is capitalizing on Ohioans disdain for NBA superstar and native son LeBron James in a series of ads targeted at U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel. Workers Voice, the super PAC of the AFL-CIO, unveiled the $100,000 ad buy Tuesday, ahead of Game Four of the NBA finals. Images depict Mandel, backlit with arms outstretched, striking the James pose made famous in the Nike Witness ads, with the words, Witness... The Mandel Investigation. Mandel, a Republican from suburban Cleveland, is challenging incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown in one of the most expensive and closely watched Senate contests this year. The FBI is investigating contributions to the campaigns of Mandel and U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, another Republican, by employees of Ohio businessman Ben Suarez. The probe is focused on the fact that the contributions arrived within a months time and the employees who gave tended to be first-time political donors of limited financial means. Campaign finance laws prohibit donating in the name of another person, a method sometimes used to skirt contribution limits. Suarez International has said the employees gave freely and used their own money. Renacci, seeking a second term representing Ohios 16th Congressional District, is being challenged by Rep. Betty Sutton, a Democrat who was forced into the race by redistricting. Mandel has not been implicated in any wrongdoing. He returned $105,000 in donations by Suarez employees, and Democrats have seized on the issue in their attacks against him. Izzy Santa, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Republican Party, defended Mandels fiscal record as Ohio state treasurer and said it is Brown who should more aptly be tied to the heartbreak James brought to the state. The web ads show more of a similarity between Sherrod Brown and LeBron James, both have broken their promises to Ohioans, Santa said in an email. Brown and

Museum to return possibly looted jug to Italy

TOLEDO (AP) An official says a 2,500-year-old water jug displayed at an Ohio art museum will be sent to Italy after investigators determined it was looted from that country. Toledo Museum of Art director Brian Kennedy tells The Blade newspaper that returning the 20-inch-tall clay vessel is the right thing to do, though the facility will miss it when its shipped to Rome. Black painting on the orangey clay depicts the Greek tale about Dionysos, the god of wine and drama. The vessel has been on display since 1982, when it was purchased from an antiquities dealer out of Switzerland. Authorities believe it was probably illegally excavated in Italy, smuggled to Switzerland and given a forged record of ownership. Its among dozens of Italian objects in an investigation dating to 1995.

his labor allies are desperate and they will do and say anything to hide the fact that Browns record of failure has been disastrous for Ohios hardworking families and small businesses. A Brown campaign spokeswoman said outside groups have spent more than $8 million in efforts to manipulate Browns record. Mandels campaign spokesman declined comment.

abandoned property, Director Goodman said. Our forms are official, free and will lead to claim payment after proper verification. There are two official unclaimed funds sites that Ohioans need to know. To search for Ohio unclaimed funds, go to the Ohio Division of Unclaimed Funds web site at www.unclaimedfundstreasurehunt.ohio.gov Accounts can also be searched from 36 other states on the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators endorsed website at missingmoney.com These are free, safe and official sites to search for and claim unclaimed funds. If an Ohioan should forget these web sites and use a search engine, they should be certain to click on the official web site of the Ohio Division of Unclaimed Funds. If an Ohioan is aware of apparent illegal activity, they should report it to the Division of Unclaimed Funds at unfd. claims@com.state.oh.us or by calling toll free at (877) 6446823. The Division is committed to reuniting Ohioans with their lost or forgotten money. The Divisions aggressive outreach efforts have led to a dramatic increase in the number of accounts being paid. During the first 11 months of Fiscal Year 2012, the Division paid 55,338 claims a 29% increase over the same period last year. The Division has also paid nearly $55.5 million so far this fiscal year more than $2.8 million over the same time last year. Individuals without Internet access can write to the Division with the names to be checked and the Ohio counties in which the individual(s) have lived.

Epic clash nearing over tax boosts, spending cuts

BY ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON A budget showdown for the ages could begin after this years election and stretch well into 2013 despite the threat that an impending half-trillion-dollar avalanche of tax increases and spending cuts might rekindle a national recession. The reason: an unprecedented collision of high-stakes fiscal decisions, coming at a time of intense partisanship, a teetering economy, record federal deficits and, possibly, a new president. Campaigning for the White House and Congress will make substantive action all but impossible before the elections. And agreement may be nearly as tough during a postelection, lame duck session in November and December, barring a European financial meltdown or Middle East oil supply crisis that demands an immediate response by lawmakers. I dont know how a Congress that cant agree on anything in two years is all of a sudden going to come together with the administration in the last 45 days of the year to solve the problem, said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio. No one can confidently predict the outcome of the battle over what many are calling the WASHINGTON (AP) The Federal Reserve, meeting at a time of heightened uncertainty, is expected to provide further support for a slumping U.S. economy. But there is no consensus over what form the added support will take. Some private economists believe the Fed will launch another round of bond buying in an effort to drive long-term interest rates even lower. The aim would be to spur more borrowing, spending and economic growth. At the very least, many economists believe the Fed will stress its readiness to do more should the economy weaken further. Heres a look at the Feds options: EXTEND OPERATION TWIST Under Operation Twist, the Fed has been gradually selling $400 billion in shortterm Treasury securities since September and using proceeds to buy longer-term Treasurys. In doing so, the Fed seeks to twist long-term rates lower relative to short-term rates. Operation Twist has the advantage of potentially lowering long-term rates without expanding the Feds recordhigh portfolio. When the Fed expands its portfolio of investments, critics argue it raises the risk of high inflation later. Operation Twist is set to expire the end of the month. Many analysts say the Fed will

The Putnam County Fair King and Queen are Kyle Niemeyer of Ottoville and Lisa Steffan of Leipsic. 25 Years Ago 1987 Delphos Area Car Club presented trophies to winners of model cars Thursday evening at the Knights of Columbus hall. Winners were Andy Siefker for his 1959 Corvette; Tony Pavel for his 1970 Chevelle; Al Heiing for his beer wagon and 1934 coupe; Brian Goergens for his 300 ZX Nissan, Pete Jones for his Street T Roadster, John Hundley for a Monte Carlo SS and Mike Coil for a pro-street Camaro. Delphos girls fast-pitch team, sponsored by T & F Kirby Co., Lima, overwhelmed a strong Wren team 10-4 with the pitching experience of Teresa Bockey and the strong hitting ability of the entire Delphos squad. The Delphos squad accumulated 11 hits including doubles by Jodi Calvelage, Lori Jettinghoff, (two), and Angie Moore, two, a triple by Sally Ambroza and a home run by Bockey. Lori Jettinghoff went 3-for-3 and walked once. Shirley Jarman of Delphos, treasurer for Gold Wing Road Riders Association Chapter N, will be donating a check from the group to the St. Jude Childrens Hospital Telethon Saturday night on WLIO-TV, Lima.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Poll: Vast support for new health care effort

75 Years Ago 1937 Robert Kihm, sales manager for the Mueller Chevrolet Company, was in attendance at a meeting of Chevrolet sales managers held at Lima Friday. The meeting was held at the Lima Motor Company and later the group went to the Shawnee Country Club where a handicap golf tournament was held. Kihm won first prize in the tournament and was presented with a large trophy. Mrs. Joseph Stant, delegate from the Delphos review, No. 257, of the Womens Benefit Association, and Mrs. Don Ford, local alternate, were in attendance at the state convention of the W.B.A. held Thursday and Friday in Lima. The Delphos review made a fine showing in the parade staged at Lima Friday evening. They were dressed in white and carried red pom-poms. Officials of the Nickel Plate Railroad have decided to abandon the plant which supplied power for their machine shop here and to purchase the power for the operation of the shop from the Ohio Power Company. In the first place, the Nickel Plate Railroad finds that it can purchase its power for less cost than it can be manufactured. Secondly, a part of the WASHINGTON By railroads quarters has been leased to the Macke Canning now most sentient Americans have heard about the war on Company. women. That is, the so-called Republican war on women, which has been framed as a battle waged by stodgy old white guys who want to deny women reproductive freedom. One can debate the validity of these claims, but for now, lets give equal time to the other war on women. This one is manned not by men but by a dwindling number of women whose understanding of equality is so narrowly defined that only a certain kind of woman can be recognized as having achieved anything of value. Twenty-two such women recently wrote a letter to the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum protesting an award to be given to former first lady Laura Bush. The Alice Award, which honors a woman who has helped other women, previously has gone to Hillary Clinton, Katie Couric, Nancy Pelosi and Olympia Snowe. Leading the charge of The 22, as we shall call them, is Sonia Pressman Fuentes, co-founder of the National Organization for Women, who described her reaction upon reading that Bush was being honored as a sudden onset of Alzheimers. Well, at least she didnt say the vapors.

WASHINGTON (AP) Americans overwhelmingly want the president and Congress to get to work on a new bill to change health care if the Supreme Court strikes down President Barack Obamas 2010 overhaul as unconstitutional, a new poll finds. A new health care bill doesnt seem to be in either partys plans on the verge of the high courts verdict on the law aimed at extending health insurance to more than 30 million Americans who now lack coverage. Republicans say they will try to repeal whatevers left of the law after the high court rules and then wait at least until after the November elections to push replacement measures. Democrats say Obama will push to put in place whatever survives. But an Associated PressGfK poll shows that more than three-fourths of Americans do not want their political leaders to leave the health care system alone in the event the court throws out the health care law. Large majorities of both opponents and backers of the law share the view that Congress and the president should undertake a new effort. The lowest level of support for new health care legislation comes from people who identify themselves as strong supporters of the tea party. Even in that group, though, nearly 60 percent favor work on a new bill. The call for new legislation comes even as just a third of Americans support the landmark health care law. The overall level of support for the law is relatively unchanged in recent months, with 47 percent opposing it. But among independents, only 21 percent approve of the law, a new low in AP-GfK polling. Most of the laws major changes have yet to take effect, including the requirement that most people have health insurance or pay a penalty. The insurance mandate has been among the least popular aspects of the law. Provisions that have gone into effect include extended coverage for young adults on their parents insurance and relief for seniors with high prescription drug costs.

Investors hoping for Fed action to boost

announce it will continue to swap short-term securities it owns for longer-term securities for a few months. But benefit would likely be slight. The Fed has a dwindling supply of shortterm securities it can swap. Some think any new Operation Twist would be about half the size of the expiring program. QEIII When the Fed expands its portfolio by buying more bonds, its called quantitative easing, or QE. Its already engaged in two rounds of QE totaling more than $2 trillion. A possible third round has been dubbed QEIII. This would be the most dramatic move the Fed could make to try to further drive down long-term rates. It would also trigger the most criticism because it would expand the Feds holdings by billions more dollars. Opponents warn that further bond purchases would do little to help and would risk higher inflation in the future. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said on CBSs Face the Nation on Sunday that another round of Fed bond purchases would put in question the future value of the dollar and it will obviously encourage inflation down the road. Supporters of further bond purchases counter that last weeks news that consumer prices fell in May by the most since late 2008 showed that

Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio fiscal cliff. Much depends on whether President Barack Obama defeats Republican challenger Mitt Romney in November and which party controls Congress. If Romney wins, Republicans will want to delay decisions until he takes office in January. In that case, a lame duck session would focus on postponing the spending cuts and extending current tax rates for six months to a year. If Obama is re-elected, the fight could easily stretch into 2013 due to the complex issues and the parties deep differences. When political and economic stakes reach these levels, the solution almost always comes from party leaders and the White House. Many in

I dont know how a Congress that cant agree on anything in two years is all of a sudden going to come together with the administration in the last 45 days of the year to solve the problem.

Washington expect that to be true this time as well. Even so, bipartisan groups of senators are seeking middle ground, meeting in a Washington town house, a restaurant and discreet Capitol hideaways. A common starting point has been a debt-reduction plan by a 2010 commission headed by Democrat Erskine Bowles and Republican Alan Simpson. If theres any chance to do something either before the election or after the election, somebody has got to have done the homework, said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., a leader of one bipartisan group of senators. On Tuesday, a pair of respected budget veterans became the latest experts to prod lawmakers to drop their ideological differences and act. Youve got to put your mindset on its almost like a war threatening the U.S. way of life, Pete Domenici, a Republican and former Senate Budget Committee chairman, told the Senate Finance Committee. Alice Rivlin, a White House budget director under President Bill Clinton, said failure to act would be cataclysmic. Rivlin and Domenici headed a separate 2010 bipartisan commission that proposed a federal deficit-cutting plan. inflation is hardly a threat. More bond purchases, if they were to lead to lower rates, could also lift the stock market if they led many investors to shift money out of lowyielding bonds into stocks. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association issued a survey Tuesday showing that two-thirds of the Wall Street economists it surveyed expect the Fed to announce more bond buying. STRONGER LANGUAGE Under this option, the Fed would change the wording of the statement it issues after each meeting. It could do so in two ways. It could be more definitive in pledging to help should the economy weaken further and perhaps spell out what those steps could be. Or it could push back its timeframe for when it expects to begin raising short-term rates beyond its current target of late-2014, until some time in 2015. DO NOTHING This would represent a continuation of the Feds decisions at its policy meetings in March and April. After each meeting, it kept its policy-making on hold. But a no-change meeting would risk disappointing investors and triggering a selloff on Wall Street. That, in turn, could further dampen consumer and business confidence, an outcome the Fed would not like to see. women with breast cancer in the Middle East died. Now that number is lower. Doesnt this qualify as helping women? Bush has been instrumental in helping women advance in Afghanistan through education and professional training programs she shepherds through the Bush Institute. If thats not enough, consider how for the past several years, she has used her voice to champion the plight of Burmas Aung San Suu Kyi, who recently claimed the Nobel Peace Prize she won 21 years ago while under house arrest for her human rights activism. Whats missing from these accomplishments, of course, is any mention of abortion or free contraception, the key components of feminist catechism. Perhaps these omissions are what disqualify Bush from consideration in the clouded vision of some. Reproductive freedom is important, but first one has to be alive free to speak ones conscience, protected from the killing fields of the Taliban, and rescued from a disease that ravaged women who were never treated as fully human. These are the battles Laura Bush chose to fight, no less important than any other and worthy of a Nobel of her own.

The other war on women

Moderately confused

Point of View
I couldnt believe my eyes, she said. Its not partisan. Im not complaining that shes a Republican. (Because Snowe, after all, is a Republican.) Im complaining that shes never done anything for women to get this award. That sound you hear is the collective gasp of the many who have read a newspaper in the past 10 years or the countless women who, indeed, have been helped by Bush. To say that she has never done anything for women suggests either willful ignorance or malicious revisionism. The soft-spoken former first lady may not have marched down Pennsylvania Avenue with her sisters to celebrate or protest this or that. But when you live at 1600, you dont have to. Being a first lady grants certain privileges, one of which is a bully pulpit. Mrs. Bush used hers to great effect, not just by advancing womens rights in far corners of the world but by literally saving lives. To assert anything less is disingenuous if not dishonest. It

is an insult to a woman of whom Americans should be proud. I have some personal knowledge of Mrs. Bushs significant efforts through the years. While most associate her with literacy programs, no small detail, she also has made important inroads for womens health. I was among three journalists, including Greta Van Susteren and Robin Roberts, who traveled with the first lady through the Middle East in 2007 to launch a breast cancer research and treatment initiative in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. We watched as Mrs. Bush met with women who whispered their secrets to her, in some cases saying for the first time the words breast cancer. These were women, after all, who couldnt even get a mammogram without their husbands permission. Even saying the word breast was verboten and cancer a disease of shame. Afflicted women were abandoned by their husbands, and their daughters so stigmatized they were deemed unsuitable for marriage. We also watched as she met with heads of state, charming kings, sheiks and princes and helping them see the importance of womens equality through access to health. Until Mrs. Bush ventured forth on their behalf, 80 percent of

LANDMARK

Settling in to normal
BY LOVINA EICHER This past week we did a lot of painting as we continue to get things in order after the house fire last month. All four bedrooms upstairs are painted and one needs another coat. Things are beginning to look a lot better. We would like to go get some flooring to put in the bedrooms that dont have any yet. My husband Joe and the boys can work on that while he is off work. He will be having some days off due to waiting on some lumber to come in at the factory. We are excited to put the rest of the floors in so that all the furniture can be put back in place. Then we will move everyone back to their bedrooms. We can always wait to work on the trim and closets until they are back in their rooms. After we get finished with that, our next project will be to paint our walls and ceilings. Busy time of the year trying to keep both gardens weeded and watered. It has been really dry and not much rain in the past week. Yesterday, though, we had a welcome rain. Our rain gauge showed only two tenths of an inch but every little bit helps. It sure gave the garden a good boost. We are still enjoying radishes, lettuce, and green onions and our peas are almost ready. We are looking forward to tomatoes, sweet corn, and all the other garden goodies in the months ahead. The first batch of corn put out is looking very nice but the second batch came up very spotty. A lot of the women in our church have been saying that they have had things not come up as well as usual. I am wondering if it could be from the heat and not enough rain. My lettuce is doing good but some have said that theirs is wilted from the heat. Daughter Elizabeth had her 18th birthday on Thursday, June 14. It is hard to believe she is that old. The years sure went fast! Her friend Timothy invited her friends over and surprised her for her birthday. He had pizza here for everyone and gave her a big ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Meanwhile, Joe and the three boys spent the day on Saturday on the lake fishing. Kevin, 6, caught quite a few which excited him. They left early in the morning The boys sure were out of bed pretty fast when Joe asked them if they wanted to go fishing Saturday morning. This is the first time they have gone fishing this year. There was something not working right with Joes boat motor, so last week Joe and Timothy went out on the lake to try it out. Timothy figured out what was wrong with it so Joe is glad to be able to use his boat again. The rest of us stayed busy at home. Elizabeth did the laundry, Susan, her friend Mose and I painted her bedroom and Verena and Loretta did the weekly housecleaning. Lovina seems to be doing well since her appendix surgery. I took her to the doctor for a check-up and he said she is doing fine. She asked if she could ride her bike and Minnie, the miniature pony again. The doctor said it would be okay and she asked if she could run again and take a shower. She was all excited that she could

do that again. When one of the girls asked if she could wipe off the dishes she asked well, do you think they weigh more than 5 pounds? The doctor had told her not to lift more than 5 pounds so she was trying to get out of doing dishes. It is funny how the other things were a lot more exciting to be able to do again.

ENERGY BARS 1/3 cup butter 1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats 1/3 cup whole-wheat flour 2 slightly beaten eggs 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/4 cup raisins 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup flaked coconut For the crust, beat butter and brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Then stir in oats, both flours, and wheat germ until thoroughly mixed. Pat the mixture into a lightly greased 9x9x2 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Meanwhile stir together eggs, 1 cup brown sugar, and stir in almonds, coconut and raisins. Remove the crust from the oven and pour the mixture onto crust, spreading evenly. Bake in 350 until center appears thick, about 20 minutes.

Wildcats fall to LCC in ACME action

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com LIMA Lima Central Catholic fell behind 5-0 in the first three innings of its ACME summer baseball encounter with Jefferson on a hot Tuesday evening at Players Field. The Thunderbirds won the final four innings by 10 runs and finished up a 10-5 victory. The Wildcats (5-4) scored in the top of the first against Thunderbird starter Sam Huffman without benefit of a hit. Tyler Wrasman (2-for-4, 2 runs scored) led off with a ground ball that was booted. Back-to-back walks to Austin Jettinghoff and Zach Kimmett loaded the bases. An out later, Seth Wollenhaupt walked to force Wrasman home. Tyler Rice tried to bunt but forced Jettinghoff at second. Zavier Buzard was hit by a pitch to plate Kimmett for a 2-0 edge. Delphos starter Andrew Kortokrax (4 innings pitched, 3 hits, 1 earned run, 5 Ks) gave up a 1-out blooper between second and center field to Nick Watkins in the first. The Wildcats made it 3-0 against reliever Jamal Hairston (4 IPs, 6 hits, 3 earned runs, 2 walks, 1 strikeout) in the second. With one down, Wrasman beat out an infield hit to deep short. Running on the next atbat, he avoided being forced at second as Jettinghoff bounced out to short. A wild pitch put Wrasman at third and he scored as Kimmett chopped one into left. A wild toss put him at second and Kortokrax walked. However, those two became part of the nine Wildcats left on base. The Red and White extended the edge to 5-0 in the third. Rice grounded a seeing-eye single into left and Buzard doubled to deep center. Both scored as Dylan Haehn chopped a single through a drawn-in infield into center. However, he was doubled up on the next batter and those was the final runs for the visitors. The Jeffcats put a pair on in the fourth: a 2-out walk to Kortokrax and a grounder into center by Wollenhaupt. LCC got one back in the home half: a 1-out solid single by Collin Stolly, a 2-out wild pitch and a run-scoring double to center by Sam Heider. The Thunderbirds got within 5-4 in the fifth against Jettinghoff (1 1/3 IPs, 4 hits, 6 runs, 4 earned, 2 BBs, 1 K). They used three hits, including RBI singles by Drew Jennings (2-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs) and Watkins (2-for-3), a walk and two errors, as well as a sacrifice bunt, to get within a run. In the Delphos sixth against third LCC hurler Trevor Hoff (2 IPs, 2 hits, 5 Ks), Wrasman lined a hit into right but was forced at second by a Jettinghoff grounder. He stole second but remained there. The T-Birds took the lead with a 6-run sixth, chasing Jettinghoff (after 1 out and 4 batters) for Tyler Rice (2/3 of an inning, 2 hits, 3 unearned runs, 2 walks, 1 K). They totaled three hits, including a run-scoring double by Corey ODowd, a 2-run knock by Ben Stolly and a run-scoring single by Jennings; a hit batter, two walks, a sacrifice bunt and a big error; to make it 10-5. The Wildcats got a 2-out seeing-eye single into right by Buzard in the seventh but the final batter was retired. Jefferson visits Columbus Grove 6 p.m. Thursday. Monday night at Wildcat Field, Jeffersons offense didnt exactly get out the heavy lumber against Lincolnview, getting only seven hits. However, the patience at the plate was the key as the Wildcats worked for 10 baseson-balls and benefited from four errors in amassing a 15-5 5-inning victory. Jefferson (5-3) used a pair of right-handers: starter Ross Thompson (winner; 4 innings, 3 hits, 3 runs, 2 earned, 4 free passes, 4 Ks, 5 wild pitchers, 1 balk) and Jettinghoff (1 IP, 1 hit, 2 unearned runs, 1 BB). The Lancers used four pitchers: starter Nick Leeth (1 1/3 IPs, 3 hits, 4 earned runs, 3 BBs, 1 K), southpaw Dalton Hines (2 IPs, 2 hits, 5 earned runs, 3 BBs, 1 K), Derek Friesner (1 1/3 IPs, 1 hit, 5 unearned runs, 3 BBs, 1 hit batter, 1 balk, 1 K) and Cole Schmersal (3 batters: 1 hit, 1 BB). Lincolnview took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second on a seeing-eye single by Tyler Lovett, a bloop single by Eli Farmer, a wild pitch and a balk on Thompson. The Red and White made it 4-1 in the home half: a walk to Thompson, a single by Kortokrax and an error, back-to-back walks to Wollenhaupt and Rice (scoring Thompson), a sacrifice fly to left by Jordan McCann (Kortokrax), an infield hit by Buzard and a 2-run slap down the left-field line by Wrasman (Wollenhaupt and Rice). The Lancers got one back in the third. They loaded the bases on a 1-out walk (Dalton Hines), a fielders choice by Conner McCleery that forced him at second and consecutive bases-on-balls (Matt Oechsle and Lovett). An error on Farmers grounder allowed McCleery to score but the sacks remained juiced. Lincolnview made it 4-3 in the fourth. A 1-out double by D a l t o n Kayser and two wild tosses allowed him to score. The Red and White blew it open with five runs in the bottom of the fourth. A walk to Rice led it off and McCann beat out an infield hit to short. Back-to-back free passes with one out to Wrasman and Jettinghoff forced home Rice and Kimmett tripled to the fence in center to plate McCann, Wrasman and Jettinghoff. A balk on Friesner scored him for a 9-3 edge. Lincolnview got within 9-5 in the top of the fifth on an error off the bat of McCleery, a 1-out run-producing double by Oechsle and an error on Farmers grounder. A walk to Friesner kept them alive but a double-play ball ended the Lancers at-bats. The Wildcats put up six in the home half of the fifth to end the game, sending 10 to the dish. With one out, pinchhitter Gaige Rassman walked and Wrasman got aboard via an error. Both stole a base. An out later, consecutive free passes to Kimmett and Thompson plated Rassman. Kortokrax unloaded the bases (Wrasman, Kimmett, Thompson) with a 1-bounce double to the fence in left. He stole third. Wollenhaupt walked and Rice singled into left to score Kortokrax. Pinch-hitter Jordan Herron got aboard on an error and

Court backs Ohio State in open records lawsuit

By ANDREW WELSHHUGGINS The Associated Press COLUMBUS The Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with Ohio State University in an open records lawsuit brought by ESPN over documents it sought from the university related to the 2011 football team scandal and NCAA investigation. The network had sued the university alleging it violated state public records law by denying requests for items regarding the forced resignation of football coach Jim Tressel and star quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Among records sought were correspondences referring to Ted Sarniak, reportedly a mentor of Pryor in his hometown of Jeannette, Pa. Ohio State had already released hundreds of pages of documents to ESPN and other media outlets, including The

The Associated Press INTERLEAGUE NEW YORK Chipper Jones atoned for a costly error by cutting down the potential tying run at the plate and the Atlanta Braves held on to end the Yankees 10-game winning streak, beating New York 4-3 Tuesday night. The Yankees were trying to match their longest winning string in nearly a half-century. Instead, the Braves threw out two runners at home and won for only the second time in nine games. Jason Heyward singled home the go-ahead run in the sixth inning off Hiroki Kuroda (6-7). Heyward also tripled and scored and nailed Mark Teixeira at home with a strong throw from right field. Rookie Andrelton Simmons drove in two runs and Jones delivered an RBI double for the slumping Braves. Tim Hudson (5-3) labored through five innings and four relievers preserved the lead. Craig Kimbrel closed for his NL-leading 20th save. TIGERS 6, CARDINALS 3 DETROIT Justin Verlander allowed one earned run in seven innings, leading the Tigers to a victory over the Cardinals. Verlander (7-4) retired 12 of the first 13 hitters he faced and worked out of a seventh-inning jam to help Detroit hold on. He struck out Allen Craig with the bases loaded with his final pitch. Verlander allowed five hits and walked four, striking out only three. Joaquin Benoit worked the eighth and Phil Coke pitched a perfect ninth for his first save of the year. Lance Lynn (10-3) allowed five runs and nine hits in five innings. He struck out four and walked two. RED SOX 7, MARLINS 5 BOSTON David Ortiz hit his 17th homer and Clay Buchholz won his fourth straight start as Boston won for the fifth time in six games. Cody Ross, activated from the DL before the game, and Kelly Shoppach also homered as Buchholz (8-2) benefited again from a strong hitting attack. He entered the game with the secondbest support in the majors, 7.51 runs per nine innings. nd the win came at Fenway Park, where the Red Sox had lost their previous three games, 6-of-7 and are just 15-19 this season. The Red Sox won their third straight overall in the opener of a 9-game homestand. Logan Morrison drove in all five Miami runs with a 2-run homer and two

doubles. The Marlins dropped to 2-11 in their last 13 games as Mark Buehrle (5-8) lost his fourth straight start. METS 5, ORIOLES 0 NEW YORK Johan Santana pitched six sharp innings, Lucas Duda hit a 2-run homer and the New York Mets beat Baltimore for their second straight shutout of the Orioles. Santana followed R.A. Dickeys second 1-hitter in a row with his best outing since he tossed a no-hitter on June 1. Jordany Valdespin added a 2-run single for New York, which won by the same score Monday night. It was the second time this month that Santana and Dickey have thrown backto-back shutouts. Santana (5-3) was back in fine form against the suddenly punchless Orioles. The left-hander allowed four hits and struck out five. Bobby Parnell, Miguel Batista and Jon Rauch each worked an inning to finish the 5-hitter and extend Baltimores scoreless streak to 21 innings, dating to Sundays 2-0 victory in Atlanta. The Orioles, who had won 7-of-8 before arriving at Citi Field, were shut out in consecutive games for the first time since April 2005. They havent homered in five games, their longest stretch of the season. Tommy Hunter (3-4) took the loss. PIRATES 7, TWINS 2 PITTSBURGH Andrew McCutchen had three hits, including his 12th homer of the season, and Kevin Correia ended a lengthy winless streak at home as Pittsburgh beat Minnesota. Correia (3-6) pitched 5 1/3 shutout innings, allowing four hits to go with a walk and two strikeouts to earn his first victory in Pittsburgh in nearly a year. Josh Harrison and Clint Barmes added three hits apiece for Pittsburgh, which has won three straight to climb four games above .500 (35-31). Scott Diamond (5-3) gave up three runs in 5 1/3 innings to lose his second straight start. Denard Span hit a 2-run homer for the Twins, who have dropped 4-of-5. RAYS 5, NATIONALS 4 WASHINGTON Carlos Pena hit a 2-run homer and David Price bounced back from his worst start of the season to pitch seven strong innings, leading the Rays to a victory over the Nationals. Price (9-4) gave up four runs on six hits. He struck out four and walked one to help Tampa Bay win for the third

Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 20th save. Nationals starter Chien-Ming Wang (2-3) struggled from the start. INDIANS 3, REDS 2, 10 innings CLEVELAND Asdrubal Cabrera hit a 2-run homer with one out in the 10th inning off hard-throwing Aroldis Chapman to give Cleveland a win over Cincinnati. Cabrera drove a 3-1 pitch from Chapman (4-3) into the right-field seats with one out. The second homer allowed this season by the left-hander scored Shin-Soo Choo, who had singled. The Reds had taken a 2-1 lead in the top of the 10th when Chris Heisey scored from third base with a headfirst slide on a wild pitch by Nick Hagadone. Hagadone (1-0) earned the victory after he got one out in Clevelands second straight win over the Reds. The Indians were swept in a 3-game series in Cincinnati last week. ROYALS 2, ASTROS 0 HOUSTON Luke Hochevar pitched into the eighth inning, two relievers completed the shutout and Billy Butler hit a solo home run to lead Kansas City over Houston.

He pitched no-hit ball into the fifth inning and allowed five hits and struck out six in a season-high 7 2/3 innings. Aaron Crow and closer Jonathan Broxton combined to allow no hits in the last 1 1/3 innings. Broxton earned his 17th save. Houston starter Wandy Rodriguez (6-5) yielded six hits and two runs in seven innings. Butler put Kansas City up 1-0 with a 2-out homer in the first inning.

CUBS 2, WHITE SOX 1 CHICAGO Travis Wood pitched six strong innings for his first win as a starter in more than a year and the Cubs beat the White Sox. David DeJesus drove in two runs with a single in the third inning. He led off the ninth with a triple but Jake Peavy finished his complete game by striking out Steve Clevenger looking

at a 2-2 pitch with runners on second and third. The Cubs handed the White Sox their sixth loss in seven games. Wood (1-3) came away with his first win since a relief appearance for Cincinnati at Pittsburgh on Aug. 19. He hadnt won as a starter since he beat the Los Angeles Dodgers last June 15. He allowing one run and four hits while striking out five and walking four. Carlos Marmol worked the ninth for his fourth save in six chances. BLUE JAYS 10, BREWERS 9 MILWAUKEE Colby Rasmus and Jose Bautista erased a 1-run deficit with back-to-back home runs off closer John Axford in the ninth inning and the Blue Jays rallied to beat the Brewers. It was the second back-to-back homer performance of the night for Rasmus and Bautista, who combined with Edwin Encarnacion to homer in three straight at-bats in the sixth. The blown save marred what was otherwise a memorable day for Axford. Earlier in the day, he posted a photo of his newborn son, Jameson Aedan, on his Twitter account. Darren Oliver earned the win (1-2). Axford took the loss (1-4). Casey Janssen earned his seventh save. ATHLETICS 3, DODGERS 0 OAKLAND, Calif. Brandon McCarthy showed no signs of an ailing shoulder in seven impressive innings, winning his third straight start and sixth consecutive decision to lead Oakland past the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seth Smith and Jonny Gomes each hit RBI singles and Coco Crisp reached four times and stole three bases as the As beat the NL West-leading club that began the day with baseballs best record. McCarthy (6-3) outpitched former As starter Aaron Harang (5-4), who couldnt overcome a career-high eight walks and his 40-pitch first inning. Harang was done after 3 2/3 innings. McCarthy pitched for the first time since June 7 after he was scratched from his scheduled start last Wednesday because of a sore shoulder. He allowed one runner past first. McCarthy gave up two hits and struck out five. RANGERS 7, PADRES 3 SAN DIEGO Josh Hamilton returned to the Texas lineup after missing four starts due to illness and hit a 2-run triple.

Heat top Thunder 104-98, 1 win from NBA title

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press MIAMI The pain was so great, LeBron James explained, that his body practically shut down on him. He could hardly stand, certainly couldnt run. Good thing all he needed to do was shoot. A limping, grimacing James shook off the pain of left leg cramps to hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:51 remaining and the Miami Heat held off the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 104-98 victory Tuesday night and a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals that no team has ever blown. He was hurting, teammate Dwyane Wade said. But thats what its about this time of the year. It would hurt more if we lose the ballgame, so it feels a little better if you can win it. Imagine how good it will feel if the Heat get one more victory. Better get well fast, LeBron. Youre one win from the biggest party of your life. Game 5 is Thursday night and James will have a chance to finish a 9-year chase that started in Cleveland before he famously or infamously left for South Florida before last season. With James watching the final moments, Mario Chalmers finished off a stellar 25-point effort that matched Wade. James had 26 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, missing a shot at a triple-double only because he was on the bench at the end after the thigh cramps emerged following a fall near the Thunder basket. The Heat needed all James could give and more to hold off Russell Westbrook. He scored 43 points for the Thunder, who wasted an early 17-point lead but were never out of the game because of their sensational point guard. Kevin Durant had 28 points but James Harden threw in another clunker, finishing with eight points on 2-of-10 shooting. Westbrook and Durant were the only Thunder players to score in the last 16:46. Shots were falling, said Westbrook, who was 20-of32. It really doesnt mean nothing. We didnt come out with the win. James stumbled to the court on a drive midway through the fourth quarter, staying on the offensive end of the floor as the Heat regained possession on a blocked shot and made a short jumper that made it 92-90. After Westbrook missed a jumper, the Heat called timeout as James gingerly went to the court. Unable to walk off, he was carried to the sideline. He returned to a huge roar with a little over 4 minutes left and the Heat down two; after Chris Bosh tied it, James slowly walked into a pull-up 3-point attempt perhaps doing so knowing he couldnt drive by anyone and drilled it. That 3 was just sheer will and competitiveness, to contribute in some way, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. That made it 97-94 and when Wade followed with a layup with 2:19 left, the Heat finally had enough room to withstand Westbrook, who kept coming all night. Chalmers, the player who was struggling so badly that the Thunder put Durant on him in hopes of avoiding further foul trouble, made 9-of15 shots, scoring more points than he had in the previous three games. Obviously LeBron James is one of the most dominant players in the game and he explodes many nights scoring-wise. But weve always got his back and certain nights like tonight when he wasnt feeling his greatest, you have guys like Mario Chalmers step up, big plays, big moments, said Wade, who had to shake off his own aches and pains after landing hard on his back in the first half following a spectacular block by Serge Ibaka. The Heat couldnt have done it without James, who refused to let any pain prevent him from taking the biggest step of his career. The Heat led 2-1 in the finals last year but James struggles were their biggest problem as they lost the next three to Dallas. He was at his brilliant best in this one, keeping up his scoring surge but also willingly kicking it out to open teammates whenever he was double-teamed. He tried to play through the pain but the Heat had to call another timeout and remove him for good shortly after his go-ahead basket. Bosh finished with 13 points and nine rebounds for the Heat, who quickly climbed out of the 17-point hole by scoring 16 straight points, with Chalmers and backup Norris Cole helping steady them until James and Wade got going. Were going to keep fighting, Durant said. Its just frustrating but were going to keep fighting. Thats how weve been since I got here. In foul trouble the last two games, Durant began the game covering Chalmers, an adjustment that freed him from the burden of defending James. It kept Durant safe from fouls but the Thunder probably

didnt count on the scoring explosion from Chalmers after he totaled just five points the previous two games. I took that as a little sign of disrespect, Chalmers explained. Neither team could gain separation during a dizzying middle two periods, one score quickly answered on the other end as Miami took a 79-75 lead to the final 12 minutes. Westbrook hit his first four shots and the Thunder made six of their first seven in a 13-3 burst out of the gate. A run of six straight made it 23-12 against the stunned Heat, who started 5-of-17, and it grew to 33-17 on Hardens fast-break layup with 21 seconds left. The Heat found their spark in Cole, who hit a 3-pointer and then opened the second quarter with another to kick off a 16-0 burst, and the Heat would come all the way back to tie it at 35 on Wades 3-pointer with 7:57 left in the half. With the crowd back in it, Bosh got them even more fired up by diving on the floor for a loose ball, then leaping up after he was fouled and screaming toward the fans. Yet the Thunder never gave up the lead, Westbrook constantly coming through with a bucket every time the Heat seemed to get within one point in the final minutes. The Thunder took a 49-46 lead into the break after Shane Battier missed a 3-point attempt just before the buzzer.

Ohio State

But the court ruled unanimously that for the most part the university properly shielded records covered by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The university annually receives about 23 percent of its total operating dollars, more than $919 million, from federal funds, the court noted. Therefore, Ohio State, having agreed to the conditions and accepted the federal funds, was prohibited by FERPA from systematically releasing education records without parental consent, the court ruled. The court also rejected ESPNs argument that the university improperly shielded some records on the basis of attorney-client privilege. The court did rule that Ohio State initially violated state open records law when it denied some of ESPNs requests as either too broad or because the university would not release any records about the ongoing NCAA investigation. Although the court said Ohio State properly removed names from documents it did

Hamilton, who leads the majors with 66 RBIs, went 2-for-5 and scored two runs as the Rangers extended their winning streak to five games. He had not started a game since Thursday due to an intestinal virus that caused him to lose 10 pounds as he was briefly hospitalized Friday. Nelson Cruz and Adrian Beltre drove in two runs each and Scott Feldman (1-6) broke a 6-start losing streak as Texas won for the eighth time in nine games. Feldman, who had his first career RBI, pitched six innings and allowed two runs and seven hits. Edinson Volquez (3-7) allowed six runs and five hits in 5-plus innings. ANGELS 12, GIANTS 5 ANAHEIM, Calif. Albert Pujols hit a 3-run homer, Mark Trumbo added a 3-run triple and drove in five runs and Mike Trout matched his career high with four hits in the Los Angeles Angels victory over San Francisco. C.J. Wilson (8-4) allowed seasonhighs of five runs and 10 hits but the Angels backed him with their highestscoring performance of the season. The Angels moved back to a season-high five games over .500 with their eighth win in 11 games. Los Angeles battered Barry Zito (5-5) for eight runs and nine hits in just 3 1/3 innings, starting with Pujols firstinning homer before the pitcher had recorded an out. Zito has allowed 17 runs and 23 hits in 14 1/3 innings over his last three starts.

Aaron Hill, Gerardo Parra and Paul Goldschmidt homered for the Diamondbacks, whose 6-game home winning streak was snapped. J.J.

Brad Ziegler came on for Putz and Ryan sacrificed the runners over before Wells singled to give the Mariners an 11-9 lead.

release, the court ordered it to release the few records that were withheld entirely under the federal privacy law as long as students names were removed. Those records include an e-mail chain between Tressel, the Ohio State athletics department official in charge of compliance, attorneys and other officials scheduling a meeting. Another document refers to one persons request to obtain a disability-insurance policy on behalf of a studentathlete. The university said it appreciated the courts recognition of the way Ohio State interprets federal privacy laws. It added it takes open records laws seriously. The university provided ESPN with thousands of pages of records during the course of our NCAA investigation and as now affirmed by a unanimous court, it acted responsibly in responding to the many varied and broad public record requests it received, the university wrote in a statement. Messages left for ESPNs attorney Tuesday were not immediately returned.

Dimon faces tougher questions on $2 billion trading loss

By MARCY GORDON The Associated Press WASHINGTON JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon had a much tougher reception Tuesday when he returned to Capitol Hill for a second round of questions over the banks $2 billion trading loss. House lawmakers from both parties pressed Dimon on a number of fronts: Did JPMorgan manage risk properly? Why was the bank trading so much out of its London office? Has the bank become too large and complex to control? The hearing before the House Financial Services Committee was far more combative in tone than Dimons appearance last week before the Senate Banking Committee. For his part, Dimon again apologized for the trading loss and the damage it caused to shareholders. The company has lost about $23 billion in market value since it came to light on May 10. But Dimon stressed that taxpayers and customers of the bank were not affected by the loss. And when pressed, Dimon was firm and frank. At one point, Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., asked Dimon how high the losses could mount. Is it fair to say that JPMorgan could have losses of half a trillion, or a trillion dollars? Duffy asked. Dimon replied bluntly: Not unless the Earth is hit by the moon. He avoided putting a number of the banks trading loss, which has raised concerns about the risks large banks pose to the U.S. financial system just four years after the financial crisis. Dimon also bristled at a suggestion from Duffy that JPMorgan has become too big to fail. With $2.3 trillion in assets, taxpayers might be asked to step in to rescue the bank if its trades put the broader financial system at risk, Duffy said. No, were not too big to fail, Dimon told Duffy in a heated exchange. I dont think theres any chance were going to fail. But if we did, any losses the government would bear should go back, be charged to the banks. Dimon defended the banks risk strategy ahead of the loss. The bank did its best to update investors on the level of risk and trusted its methods for assessing those risks, he said. The models used provided the best information at the time and are frequently updated, he said. We disclosed what we knew when we knew it, Dimon told the panel. The Securities and Exchange Commission is examining whether JPMorgans earnings report on April 13 gave adequate information on the risk model the bank was using. Earlier at the hearing, SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro told the panel there could be violations that would merit legal sanctions against the bank. Democrats questioned Dimon about the banks trading operation in London, where the loss occurred. Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif, asked why the bank devoted hundreds of billions of dollars to that operation when that money could go

World leaders weigh stimulus vs. austerity at G-20

LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) With major European economies on the brink of collapse, leaders concluding an annual Group of 20 meeting sought Tuesday to reassure the world that they would find a way to put out the debtfueled economic wildfire that has threatened banks, wiped out jobs and toppled governments across the continent. But the presidents and prime ministers gathered in this seaside resort seemed content to delay any major decisions for a while longer, releasing only a general statement that stopped short of committing any nations to greater spending unless conditions worsen and urging fiscal responsibility. For months, governments and economists have weighed two different paths to ease the financial crisis: spending more to try to stimulate growth or slashing budgets. European leaders headed home without announcing any significant agreements, and they aimed to meet again later this month in Brussels, with a goal of adopting a more detailed plan. Still, the battle lines in the stimulus-versus-austerity debate were clearly drawn among the 24 heads of state gathered in a heavily guarded convention hall lined by a moat. The conservative leaders of the United Kingdom, South Korea and Germany came out decisively for austerity, warning that budget cuts were crucial to restoring fiscal order and worldwide confidence. The countries in crisis will have to find measures that might be painful and politically unpopular in the short term, but nonetheless they must pursue this path, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said Monday. On the other side were leftleaning governments such as those in Argentina, Brazil and France that have denounced the German-imposed austerity plan for struggling countries such as Spain and Greece and pushed for more stimulus spending. President Barack Obama said European leaders grasp the seriousness of their debt crisis and are moving with a heightened sense of urgency to find a solution. After the summit, Obama said the economic problems in Europe wont be solved by the G-20 or the United States, but by European nations. He said he was confident they could do that, but acknowledged the difficulty of getting all the separate legislatures to agree. That the leaders adopted only some general policies is typical of G-20 declarations, said Jacob Kirkegaard, research fellow at the Washingtonbased Peterson Institute for International Economics. On the big issue of the hour, of weeks and months, the G-20 communique is not going to make a big difference, Kirkegaard said. The communique will repeat the

have gone to small business loans in the U.S. We never stopped making loans, Dimon insisted. He also defended an exemption that allows looser oversight of the sort of derivatives trading overseas that the London operation engages in. Customers will go elsewhere if we cant give them the best possible deal, Dimon said. The main mission of this company is to serve clients around the world. Not all lawmakers went after Dimon at the hearing. Several Republicans used the hearing to ask Dimon about his views on the European debt crisis. Others took the opportunity to criticize regulators for failing to detect the risks the bank was taking before suffering the loss. We need more information about the level of information-sharing among the agencies and how five agencies with a combined 100 or more personnel supervising JPMorgan at the time did not know about the substantial size and risk of these trades, said Shelly Moore Capito, R-W.Va.

mantra about strong, balanced, global growth. With each member state free to do whatever they want, thats the way to paper over those differences. Indeed, the statements reassuring words failed to sooth troubled world stock markets, which remained mixed and nervous Tuesday. Germany must shoulder a large share of the contributions to bail out economically weaker European countries that overspent for years. In exchange, Germany has been insisting on steep cutbacks from aid recipients such as Greece. Those cutbacks have led to dramatic economic hardship for voters in Greece and other countries. A growing number of European countries have been advocating spending and growth, not austerity, and the G-20 statement made limited mention of such a possibility.

DEAR BRUCE: BRUCE WILLIAMS Back in 2010, at the recommendation of a friend, I hired a company to take care of my taxes. I just received notice from the IRS that my taxes were never filed. I am freaking out at the thought that this was never taken care of. I signed papers, paid the company and thought everything was fine. I certainly dont want to go to jail. What can I do? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: The first thing you need to do is find a competent CPA or an enrolled agent, a federally authorized tax practitioner who has the right to represent the public to the IRS. He or she will file those amended returns for the years that the IRS is missing. The big variable here is, did you owe taxes? If you did, the taxes plus interest and penalties will have to be paid. If this tax preparation company is still in business, you then will have to decide whether you want to take action against it, especially for the penalties that you incurred for the companys failure to do its job. First things first, however: Find a competent accountant and file those amended returns as soon as possible. DEAR BRUCE: My husband and I recently went on a cruise. My husband fell on the ship and got a big gash on his leg that required stitches. It wasnt the fault of the cruise ship; it was just clumsiness on my husbands part. When we received the bill on the final day, a large amount had been added for the medical services. I paid the bill and then tried to get reimbursed by my insurance carrier when I returned home. I found out that my health insurer did not cover the medical services on the ship, and now I have to pay $10,000 out of pocket. I was shocked. I dont understand why this has happened. Is there anything I can do? -- P.T., Georgia DEAR P.T.: Check with your insurance carrier and see if there is some kind of appellate claims process. Frequently some type of accommodation can be reached. Not many insurance carriers will pay for emergencies in foreign cities or on the high seas. International travelers should be aware of what their insurance does and does not cover and take steps to plug any gaps. Travel insurance is available that covers not only medical mishaps, even paying for transportation back to the States, but also lost luggage, cancellation due to numerous reasons and so on. The insurance is inexpensive. Hopefully you dont have to use it, but it is a worthwhile investment, especially if it turns out that you need it. DEAR BRUCE: For years I have spent a lot of time at estate sales, auctions, etc., and have become quite good at buying items of value and then turning a profit with them. Im not only making money at it, but Im having fun. Im seriously considering making this a full-time job and am considering using some of my savings to help supplement this. What do you think of collectibles as investments? Do you think Im crazy, or should I continue doing this? -- Judy, via email DEAR JUDY: It seems that this has become quite the side business, judging from the popular antiques show and others on TV. You are going into an area where there is a great deal of competition. Hundreds of thousands of people eat, sleep and live this stuff. If you are going into this with an eye for real profit, it might be wise to consider niche investing. In other words, dont go out with the idea that you are just going to buy stuff. I think you can increase the possibility of success by making yourself very knowledgeable about a specialized area, such as antique lunch boxes, old postcards or Disney memorabilia (my favorite). A lot of people may not realize the value of these items, and there can be a tremendous amount of appreciation on some of them. Good luck!

Tomorrows Horoscope
THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2012 Its highly likely that you will become involved in several small but important undertakings in the year ahead. Although each might be more ambitious than youre used to, youll surprise yourself and do a good job. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your judgment about what is best for you will be superior to that of your companions. Dont let anybody talk you into doing something that you dont want to do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A problem youve had on your mind recently can be worked out in solitude, where youll have plenty of space to think. The answer youre searching for will become clear as a bell. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Conversing with friends could be an educational experience. By helping them sort things out, youll solve problems that have beleaguered your own life. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Once you focus your mind on something important, youre not likely to be swayed off course by peripheral issues. If you can visualize it, youll be able to understand and achieve it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Allow your mental endeavors to take precedence over physical activities. Your mind is likely to be much stronger and more powerful than your back. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- One of your better assets is the ability to ferret out information thats pertinent to your immediate plans. Having all the facts sorted out enhances your chances for success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Strive to be as fair as possible when negotiating a critical issue or agreement. Once youre satisfied that youre doing your part, further negotiation shouldnt be necessary. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you believe youve been a bit undisciplined about basic health matters, take control of yourself now. Start by eating and drinking healthily. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Although you dont always believe in yourself, try to be adroit in managing persons who are either younger than you or less experienced. Be firm but friendly when doing so. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Because youll be more detailconscious than usual, now is the time to do that delicate work youve been avoiding, or to put the finishing touches on a project left half-finished. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Make some explanations to persons whose support you need on a position that youve taken. You should be quite effective, and what you say will go over well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -There are very strong indications that you will be able to get considerable mileage out of the contents of your wallet. Tomorrow this particular asset might be absent.

Council OKs beautification projects for upcoming bicentennial celebration

BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com FORT JENNINGS Numerous beautification projects were approved at Tuesdays Fort Jennings Village Council meeting in preparation for the villages bicentennial celebration in August. Fort Jennings Park Board President Jerry Siefker saw approval for several park projects including $800 to paint and trim the rec club building; $300 to restone the area behind the building to enhance handicap accessibility and come in line with Americans With Disabilities Act requirements; and $7,000 to paint and seal the tennis courts. Labor for painting and refurbishing of the area behind the club will be done by park board members and Leslie Coatings received the bid for the tennis courts. They will clean, caulk and apply three coats of paint to the courts. Our Tree Service of Delphos was tapped to remove six trees in the park and grind nine tree stumps for $1,900. Siefker said there were four to five additional stumps that needed taken care of since park board members removed arborvitaes trees earlier in the week. Mayor Jim Smith directed village maintenance supervisor Ted Wrasman to inquire if Our Tree Service would also take care of those for a nominal fee. Greve Tree Service bid $2,250 for the job and Niese Tree Service bid $2,355. Siefker told council Boy Scout Dylan Van Loo received approval for his Eagle Scout project to refurbish the walk bridge over the Auglaize River behind the fire department on Water Street. The village had secured the supplies for the bridge last year. Van Loo is providing the labor. Smith told Siefker the bridge needed to be completed by Aug. 1. Siefker also noted park board members had repaired a bench by the playground, installed two new slides and the Diamond 1 outfield fence project is underway. The park will host several activities during the bicentennial, including an 1812 reenactment group, an old-time baseball game and the annual lawnmower races. A quote for street painting was received from Baxter Pavement Marking for $50 per crosswalk and stop bar. Smith said he wanted to concentrate on the streets that had recently been resealed and counted at least 13 plac-
