Elida going back to voters in November

BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com ELIDA On Nov. 6, voters of the Elida School District will face a new levy which the superintendent, treasurer and board of education members agree is necessary to make up for dramatic losses in state funding. With property taxes deemed inequitable, Elida will seek a 5-year, 0.75-percent earned-income tax. It will generate the $2,059,908 per year the district feels is necessary to cover current expenses. There are very few businesses out there, whether they be big businesses or small private business, that can be expected to operate on the same funding levels they did back in 2003, Treasurer Joel Parker said. Were operating at the same level we did in 2003 and its quickly approaching 2013. Our two main issues with state aid is theres no inflationary growth and its shrinking. The declining revenue, going back to 2003 levels, this is what we need to keep talking about as we move closer to fall. If the levy fails, Superintendent Don Diglia says cuts will have to be made to make up for the loss. This will further strip the district of programming. Weve been doing our due diligence, trying to be as

efficient as we can, he said. Weve made reductions in staffing and programming in every building and weve done it to the point where theres nothing left. This year we had to eliminate a program that has gained us national recognition and gotten us an invitation to the White House. Failure of this levy would cause cuts that would affect every student in every building. This is significant. The proposed earnedincome tax will not affect retired individuals or those relying on pensions.

Drought has experts waiving red flags

BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com VAN WERT Having advised municipalities and townships to issue burn bans, Emergency Management Director Rick McCoy is waving a red flag as hot, dry weather continues. Its dry its just not good at all. This week is the start of our scorching weather, McCoy said. When we look at past years that had a really mild winter going into a dry spring, in those years, we saw a lot of 100-degree days in summer. I think thats what were looking at this year very little precipitation and very hot temperatures. Well set a lot of records this year. To date, this spring has been the driest on record surpassing the droughts of 1934 and 1941 and even in recent memory 1988. The difference between 1988 and this year was the fact that the 1988 spring was already in a drought before it began. This year, there were abundant rains over the winter so our drought didnt start until rains began to shut off. Overall this has been the driest spring ever, McCoy said.

Ohio State University Extension Educator Dr. Curtis Young says this would threaten yields from the fields. The weather right now is a concern because when we get into drought conditions like this, it could impact overall yield potential. With each passing day of little or no rain, the severity of the lack of water gets more intense, Young said. Drought conditions mean some may need to re-evaluate their habits and start recycling. We need people to really use caution in what theyre doing out there with their burning. People have burnt forever if they would recycle, we could resolve the issue but some of the population doesnt recycle at all. If we should put out a county-wide burn ban, that means all trash fires will need to cease, McCoy said. The biggest threat in agriculture is corn. Young said soybean plants are more able to weather the heat but corn is at risk right now. The plants are establishing their ears, the number of rows of kernels and how many kernels might develop.

Pool reopens today after pump malfunction

Staff Reports DELPHOS The Delphos Municipal Swimming Pool was closed Tuesday after a pump malfunctioned. According to Parks Supervisor Craig Mansfield, the pump lost its prime and was dry. When we brought the pump back on line, it shoved debris and sediment out into the pool, causing the water to look green, Mansfield said. There was never any algae in the pool. It was just discolored by the sediment. The pool has been checked

Village moving forward with home plots

OTTOVILLE During its regular monthly meeting Monday, village council here approved a resolution to proceed with a new housing addition that expands the village. Mayor Ron Miller said the Bendele family added 15 1/2 acres and put in a subdivision for six new houses. Engineer Greg Bockrath reported to the group on lining up utilities and plots for two homes. Miller said there is a chance for four more. In addition to adding new homes, the village is also addressing some street issues. Were looking at a crackfilling outfit to fill cracks in our roads. Out on Progressive Drive, the road is breaking up and needs repaved, so were seeking bids, Miller said. A camera showed cracks in a sewer line on Bentley Street, so that was replaced but more problems were created that also needed fixed. When that line was replaced, when the guys were

by health department officials and received a clean bill of health. There was never any danger for swimmers; we just wanted to get it cleaned up and looking better, Mansfield said. The pool reopened today.

working on it, there was a water main break that was replaced. There was another one on Augaize Street, which is where were looking at a repaving project, so were looking for money. Were looking for grants and loans to get that done. We want to redo the street, storm sewer, water line and curbs. Wed take out the street and put in whole new sewer line, whole new water line, whole new curbs and put the paving back in, Miller concluded.

Harnessing solar power: weve got an app for that

Engineering students win prize in apps for energy challenge
Submitted by the University of Dayton DAYTON A pair of savvy graduate engineering students at the University of Dayton have caught the eye of the U.S. Department of Energy with innovative software that will help homeowners with solar systems conserve energy and save big bucks on their electricity bills. Mithun Mohan Nagabhairava, a software developer in the renewable and clean energy program, and mechanical engineer Dustin Pohlman won the Popular Choice second prize and $4,000 in the U.S. Department of Energys first Apps for Energy competition. Theyll travel to Washington, D.C., later this summer to demo the app to DOE representatives and utility companies. The app is designed for homeowners with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Families can save up to a third on their electricity bills as demand and time-of-day pricing become more prevalent, the engineering students estimate. In all, the DOE doled out $100,000 in cash prizes in the contest, which attracted 57 entries. The proposed apps covered everything from price calculations for plug-in cars to the University of Dayton app that allows consumers to measure their homes electricity usage to determine the ideal size of a solar panel and battery system. The battery would be charged during the daytime, with a controller releasing the stored energy during peak times. We were kind of surprised, but thought we might end up in the top five given the responses we had been getting from people, said Nagabhairava, who worked as a software developer in California and his native India before joining the University of Daytons new renewable and clean energy program. After we submitted our idea in the contest, we started getting calls from solar companies, including one from Sweden. In an American Idol twist, the University of Dayton team captured second place through an online contest. Their entry attracted around 3,500 votes, primarily through Facebook and Twitter and mostly from people they didnt know. Under the contest criteria, developers were asked to create mobile and web applications that will help consumers save money by making the most of their Green Button electricity usage data. Spurred by the federal government, this is an industry-led initiative that provides customers with the ability to download their energy use as often as every 15 minutes, in some cases and make more informed energy decisions. As part of the initiative, utility companies in California and Texas have already installed smart meters that record consumption of electricity at intervals of an hour or less and wirelessly send the information to utility companies. Nagabhairava and Pohlman used energy data from a home in Berkeley, Calif., to test what theyre calling an innovative solar demand response tool. They estimate the states more than 114,000 homeowners with solar installations could reduce peak electricity consumption by 80,000 kilowatts per day through the use of their software package. Nagabhairava, a native of Vijayawada in southern India, and Pohlman, of Delphos, Ohio, teamed on the project in May, brainstorming ideas between classes, final exams and their work in the University of Daytons Industrial Assessment Center. Here, they conduct free energy audits for mid-sized manufacturing companies in Ohio and parts of Kentucky and Indiana. Nagabhairava is turning their software tool into a free web application. In the future, he envisions integrating weather forecasts into the tool to optimize the use of batteries in the system. Under the concept, charge in the batteries can be held back from use on a day-to-day basis, only kicking in during peak demand times like extremely hot days. We think this eventually could be rolled out to every house in the country, Pohlman said. If we can provide this kind of information to consumers, it could incentivize the use of solar PV systems. When you have this kind of detailed information, you realize, Man, this is what electricity is costing me every hour of the day. Nagabhairava also would like to introduce the concept to utilities and homeowners in India. This would definitely help back in India where

STATE/LOCAL

utilities are facing a hard time keeping up with the growing energy demands of the country, he said. Developing and promoting alternative forms of energy is a strategic focus for the University of Dayton, which has teamed with Wright State University, Central State University and the Air Force Institute of Technology to offer the only renewable and clean energy graduate program in the state. On campus, researchers are conducting millions of dollars in sponsored research annually in virtually all areas of energy wind energy, fuel cells/batteries, algae, coal-toliquid fuels and other clean, alternative energy research. In addition, the University of Dayton Research Institute is leading synthetic fuel efforts at a one-of-a-kind U.S. Air Force facility that converts biomass and other feedstock into jet fuel. Dustin is the son of Keith and Mary Lou Pohlman of Delphos.

Conversation enriches the understanding, but solitude is the school of genius. Edward Gibbon, English historian (1737-1794)

President Obama pledges to bring jobs back to US

By KEN THOMAS Associated Press ATLANTA Sustaining his attacks on rival Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama pledged Tuesday to bring back jobs that have moved overseas and portrayed his challenger as the type of wealthy investor who would pollute, outsource jobs and take down unions to maximize profits. For the second day in a row, Obama targeted Romney, emphasizing that the contest between them is a choice between ideologies, not a referendum on his own performance. The question is not whether we need to put more folks back to work or whether we need to see the economy growing faster or whether we need to bring down our debt, he told a crowd of donors in Atlanta. The question is how do we do it. The president built upon his campaigns recent attacks Romneys business record. The Obama team says the private equity firm Romney formerly ran invested in companies that sent jobs to China and India. His basic vision is one By ALAN FRAM Associated Press in which if wealthy investors like him, folks at the very top are freed up from any kind of regulations, if they are maximizing their profits, even if they are polluting more, or offshoring jobs or avoiding taxes or busting union, whatever the strategy is if they are doing well, then everybody else is automatically doing well, Obama said. The president spoke at a 500-person fundraising reception, with ticket prices started at $500 per person. He had additional fundraisers planned later Tuesday in Florida. His remarks were on the second day of a fund raising trip that comes as Obama and his team raise alarms that Romney and his Republican allies will outspend him during the presidential campaign. In an e-mail to supporters Tuesday, Obama bluntly stated: I will be the first president in modern history to be outspent in his re-election campaign, if things continue as they have so far. The urgent tone is designed to spur more giving. Until last month, Obama had been by far the leading fundraiser in the presidential contest. But Romney, after securing the nomination, has consolidated

DEAR EDITOR: Every month, my husband and I pay close to $400 for our medical insurance which doesnt cover any medical expenses unless we get over $10,000 for the year. It seems like a lot for nothing but it is nothing compared to what most small businesses pay. This being the case, National Health Care would seems like a blessing. That could only be true if National Heath Care was about care but its about controlling our care. Its about controlling what the doctors can and can not do. Its about controlling what operations or surgeries the hospitals can and can not perform. Its about our government having more control over us then they already do. It would be nice not to pay insurance every month. We could save the money for our kids or grandkids, travel or even retire with a bit more comfort but Id rather be free free to control my own health care. Just a concerned U.S. citizen, Annette Brown

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Republican divisions resurfaced in congressional primaries, with five-term Rep. John Sullivan falling to a tea party backed opponent in Oklahoma while Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch easily defeated another candidate backed by the insurgent group. It was Hatchs first primary challenge since his election to the Senate in 1976. Jim Bridenstine, a Navy pilot and the former director of a Tulsa space museum, defeated Sullivan on Tuesday, making him the fourth incumbent congressman to lose in primaries this year. Bridenstine labeled Sullivan a career politician and criticized his votes to rescue financial firms during the height of the 2008 economic downtown and to increase the debt ceiling last year. Sullivan seemed to be caught off guard by the closeness of the race. He had won his five previous elections with an increasingly larger percentage of the vote. Hatch, 78, had been bracing for a tough re-election battle, but he breezed to victory. Former state Sen. Dan Liljenquist, who survived a 2008 plane crash in Guatemala that killed 11 of 14 on board, won just enough support at the state GOPs nominating convention to advance to the primary. But Liljenquist faced an overwhelming financial and organizational disadvantage in the primary. Hatch, learning from the defeat two years ago of his Senate colleague Robert Bennett, spent about $10 million blanketing the airwaves and building a campaign operation unlike anything Utah had seen before. Hatch told the Associated Press in an interview Tuesday night that he was ready to tackle the nations debt problems and focus on Social Security and Medicare.

Senate leaders say they have student loan deal

WASHINGTON The Senates top Democrat and Republican said Tuesday that theyve reached a deal that would prevent interest rates on college loans from doubling beginning this weekend for millions of students. But House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has yet to decide whether the pact will be acceptable to his Republicanrun chamber. The agreement, if approved by Congress, would spell an end to one of this election-seasons higher profile conflicts between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans. Even so, the battle has been a bitter one, with Republicans accusing the White House of dragging out the fight to score political points and Democrats accusing the GOP of blocking action on the issue. The presidents been largely uninvolved in that, but Senator Reid and I have an understanding that we think will be acceptable to the House, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters. We basically have the student loan issue worked out, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said. Under the agreement, interest rates for new subsidized Stafford loans would remain at 3.4 percent through next June 30. Without congressional action, interest rates on the loans would double to 6.8 percent for new loans beginning July 1, this Sunday, for 7.4 million students the government estimates would get such loans over the next year. That increase, should it occur, would not affect loans currently held by students. The higher rate would cost the average student an extra $1,000 over the life of the loan, which typically takes more than a decade to repay. About three-fourths of the bills $6 billion cost would come from Democratic proposals to boost the fees companies must pay to have their pensions insured by the quasigovernment Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., and to change how companies compute the money they must set aside to fund their pensions. The change would make their contributions more consistent year to year which business desires and would result in fewer corporate tax deductions for those payments. The remaining funds would come from a GOP plan to limit federal subsidies for Stafford loans for undergraduates to six years. Currently, the government charges no interest while students are in school, even if it takes longer

his support. Romney raised more than $76 million last month for his presidential campaign and for the GOP, compared to $60 million for Obama and the Democrats. Obamas advisers say they expect Republicanleaning super PACs to pull in $1.2 billion before the election, posing a big-money challenge for the president. Obama has more than $100 million in his campaign account, but Democratic super PACs have struggled to raise money, making it possible that an incumbent president will be outspent. Obama has now raised the stakes, saying that even without the help of GOP-leaning super PACs, Romney could still outspend him. Obama was to collect more than $2.3 million at fundraisers in Atlanta and Miami on Tuesday following top-dollar events Monday night in Boston. They will spend more money than we have ever seen in American history, and their message is very simple, Obama said Monday in Boston. They will just tell you that the economy is not where it needs to be, the economy is bad, and its all my fault.

than six years to graduate. The financing was described by a Senate Democratic aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details of the emerging agreement. Asked if Boehner would sign off on the agreement, spokesman Michael Steel said, Well take a look. The pension money was also being discussed as a way to finance an extension of federal transportation programs, which expire this weekend. Leaders were hoping agreement on both bills could be approved before Congress leaves town for its July 4 break at weeks end. Obama spent part of this spring traveling to college campuses to underscore his effort to prevent the interest rates from rising. In so doing, he was appealing to studentage voters who supported him strongly in the 2008 presidential election. Hoping to pre-empt Obama from using student loans as an issue this fall, GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney said in April that he supported extending the lower loan rates. Congressional GOP leaders said they supported an extension as well, though some rank-and-file Republicans still oppose the idea, arguing it is too expensive and that financial markets should set the lending rates.

Point of View
only way to avoid charges of racial profiling. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has promised that mechanisms are in place to ensure that Hispanics are not singled out. What those mechanisms might be isnt clear, but one can imagine at least one possible scenario a reiteration of the sort of willy-nilly, random granny-search ops weve witnessed since 9/11. Taking a stroll through probability, lets say that Officer Smith pulls over Paco Ramirez and asks for proof of citizenship and it turns out that Paco is descended from three generations of nativeborn, tax-paying Ramirezes. Paco is probably going to be annoyed. He may be sufficiently annoyed to file a profiling (or harassment) complaint with the courts. After all, why, except that he looked Hispanic, would the officer have asked for his papers? Moreover, how likely is it that Hispanic-looking folks will be pulled over for suspicious behavior for the sole purpose of checking those

papers? The only way to avoid such charges, of course, is to also pull over Karen Miller and insist that she produce proof of citizenship. This is what random airport checks are all about. Officers cant pull out Muhammad bin Laden even if hes sweating profusely and chanting Allahu Akbar unless they also pull over Betty White. What we have here is a sticky wicket. And no one is in greater need of Goo Gone than Mitt Romney, who has said that Arizonas law is a model for the rest of the nation. Not only has that law been deemed at least partly unconstitutional, but Romney is now positioned to be associated with profiling. Not the best way to court the Hispanic vote. Worse, if Arizona and other similarly minded states begin to apply the equal-treatment template across races and ethnicities, hell have everybody mad at him. Not that the Arizona law is his fault, obviously. But angry people will pick the easiest target and the Obama campaign will make sure those dots are connected. One thing is for certain: Romney cant change his mind. Hes stuck with a position that, though appealing to Arizonans and others who are justifiably angry with our

inert (inept) federal government, is profoundly offensive to our American sense of fairness. We simply dont single out groups of people in this country for special scrutiny. What is expedient or even logical isnt always ethical, and better that we err on the latter standard. One may argue that any small-ish inconvenience is an acceptable price to pay in exchange for law and order. In fact, many Americans dont mind airport searches or even X-ray examinations of their nethers. But the fact is, these security measures are unprecedented intrusions into our personal spaces inarguably violations of our civil rights. Thus, todays bargain is an exchange of freedom for greater security, and the question is whether its worth it. If youre not here illegally, you might feel the trade-off is acceptable. But if you are citizen Paco Ramirez or one of the tens of millions of Americans of Hispanic descent, you might think something else. You might think you live in a police state, that your civil rights are in jeopardy, and that your family is under siege. And you might not be inclined to vote Republican.

LANDMARK

A restful week coming Dapler turning 100 on July 4

BY LOVINA EICHER We managed to get the painting all done upstairs. We moved up the furniture for two of the bedrooms on Saturday. The floor was laid in daughter Susan and Verenas bedroom and Elizabeths room is all redone. Susan and Verenas bedroom still need more shelves put up in the closest. Their room also needs closet doors and trim but for now we will call it good enough. Joe wants to get the floors laid in the other two bedrooms and then they can move up as well. Jacob and Emma and family and the girls special friends have been assisting us with our work. The children made a lot of trips up and down carrying smaller things while the men handled furniture. I need to find a few more dressers for the boys as they need more room for their clothes. We are gradually getting these things replaced. Also we appreciate all the things that were donated to us. And a big thank you for the help from readers. There are some things the boys had that we dont think about until we need them. Benjamin and Joseph just remembered yesterday their luggage bags on wheels were also burned in the fire. We gave those to them for their birthdays last year. We gave them before their birthdays in July so we could take them on our trip to Florida. So much easier for everyone to have their luggage separate. We are very fortunate, though, to still have a house. Before moving some of the things upstairs we are starting to clean items that were in the girls closets before moving them back upstairs. Our hands really get black from cleaning the smoke off of some things. Every box, etc., has to be cleaned. Next week Joe will have a week off from the factory. It will be nice to have a week without a schedule. Joe would like to camp and do a lot of fishing on his week off. He said if he stays home he just thinks he has to stay busy working on the house. This past weekend a friend offered us to use her cabin by the lake and we decided we would go. We all will be glad to get away for awhile. The children are most excited about being able to go swim every day. We will probably also set up a tent for whoever wants to sleep outside. Family times are so important. Too often we get so busy with our work we dont take the time to just relax and be together as a family. It has been a hard, stressful past year so I think getting away will be good for all of us. I want to thank readers for all the prayers, encouragement, and donations to Verena and Loretta and all of us. It helps knowing that others care. One reader wrote to us from experience because she has a son with muscular dystrophy. She said it will take acceptance over and over again but always let God be your guide. Letters like that mean so much. The children are pitching in extra hard to get the garden cleaned and the other work caught up before next week. Kevin is counting the days and says he is going to catch a really big fish. He has such a big imagination. He can be outside for hours entertaining himself. He always has the dogs Buddy and Rover with him. I was telling a friend one day that our baby will be in first grade this fall. After my friend left Kevin asked Mom why do you keep telling everyone Im your baby when Im almost 7 years old already? He said I am too tall to be a baby. Needless to say he keeps us smiling with the stuff he comes up with. The 63 baby chicks we got a few weeks ago are really doing well. Twelves will be for butchering and the rest are laying hens. The following recipe is a good way to use up leftover mashed potatoes: Bernice Dapler of Delphos will celebrate her 100th birthday on July 4. A celebration will be held from noon to 3 p.m. at 460 Dewey St. on Saturday. Bernice was born in Munday, Ohio, to Sarah and Guy Kinneer. She had one sister, Eleanor; and two brothers, Max and Aut. She married and has three daughters, Lois, Bonnie and Nancy; and 10 grandchildren. Bernice worked as an egg grader for many years in Nelsonville. Then in 1959, the opportunity came to move to Delphos and then she worked at Gressel Produce on Second Street as a government egg grader. After retiring, Bernice devoted many hours to the Interfaith Thrift Shop with Emily Elwer, taking clothes to the needy in Indiana and

BATH TOWNSHIP Bath scored a run in the bottom of the seventh to seize a 5-4 ACME summer baseball victory over Jefferson on a brilliant Tuesday evening at Bath Field. Tied at 4-4 entering the bottom of the seventh, Nate Clark led off the host half with a solid single to center against Jefferson (6-5) reliever Austin Jettinghoff (2 1/3 innings pitched, 3 hits, 1 earned run, 1 strikeout). Bronson Best sacrificed him to second. Cody Schuerman ripped a knock into left to put Clark at third, taking second on the throw home. Cameron Jenkins laced a shot down the rightfield line to score Clark and end the contest. Jefferson went up 3-0 in the top of the first. With one gone against complete-game victor Seth Collins (7 IPs, 6 hits, 4 runs, 1 earned, 7 free passes, 5 Ks; 133 pitches, 72 strikes), Zavier Buzard doubled to the fence in left center and a 2-out wild pitch put him at third. Back-to-back free passes to Zach Kimmett (3 walks) and Andrew Kortokrax loaded the bases. A 2-base throwing error on Seth Wollenhaupts bouncer emptied the bases for a 3-0 edge. Zach Ricker singled to right but Wollenhaupt stumbled around third (injuring his knee, after which he had to sit out for a couple of innings) and was gunned down at home. Bath got two back in the bottom of the first against starter Kortokrax (5.0 IPs, 3 hits, 4 runs, 3 earned, 4 BBs, 8 Ks, 1 hit batter; 80 pitches, 48 strikes). With two outs, Colin Gossard was hit by a pitch and scored on a triple to right (Gage Townsend made a diving try but couldnt come up with it) by Collins. In turn, he scored on a shot to center by Blake McGue. Fitch was hit by a pitch to start the Delphos second and Gage Townsend sacrificed. However, Fitch became one of nine base-runners the Jeffcats left stranded. In the Delphos third, Kimmett walked with one down. Bath went up 4-3 in the third. Schuerman walked to lead it off and got to second on an error on a pickoff play. Jenkins bunted him to third and he scored as Gossard lined one to left; a miscue on the play put him at third, from where he scored a walk later (Collins, followed by his steal of second) on a sacrifice fly to center by McGue. Garrett Metcalf walked but Kortokrax

fanned the next batter to leave it at 4-3, Bath. The Red and White had a golden chance in the fourth. With one out, Fitch walked and moved to third on a grounder up the middle by Townsend that hit off the glove of the second baseman; the batter advanced to second on the throw to third. Tyler Wrasman bounced out to shortstop and Gossard tried to tag the runner; on the sequence, he overthrew first but the umpires ruled runner interference and a double play was called. Schuerman walked with two down in the fourth but was caught stealing by catcher Nick Fitch. Jettinghoff then set down the first six batters he faced in relief in the fifth and sixth frames. Jefferson had another golden chance get away in the fifth. With one down, Jettinghoff tripled down the right-field line. Kimmett walked and burgled second. Kortokrax also walked. However, he was caught napping off first by Collins and then a pop-up ended the frame. The Red and White tied the game at 4-4 in the seventh. Wrasman led off with an infield hit to deep short, stole second and took third on a 1-out wild pitch. Jettinghoff walked. Kimmett slammed a hard grounder past third sacker Schuerman to plate Wrasman. An error on Kortokraxs fly ball loaded the bases but rightfielder Eric Heffner dove to rob Wollenhaupts sinking liner and then caught the final fly ball to keep the game at 4-4. Monday night, Jefferson scored seven runs in the first two innings and rode that to an 11-4 ACME summer baseball victory on a gorgeous evening at Spencerville Field. The Wildcats (6-4) out-hit the Bearcats (2-5-1) 10-3, with Ross Thompson leading the way with a 2-for-4 performance at the plate and Zach Kimmett 2-for-5 (2 runs, 3 runs batted in). Thompson also got the pitching win, going five innings, ceding three hits and three earned runs, issuing four wild pitches and two walks, hitting a batter and fanning three. Zach Ricker went two frames of relief (2 BBs, 2 hit batters, 1 earned run, 2 Ks). Dan Settlemire started for the Bearcats, going two innings (5 hits, 7 runs, 4 earned, 4 BBs, 1 K, 2 wild pitches), followed by 3 2/3 innings for James Schaad (4 hits, 4 earned runs, 1 BB, 2 Ks) and then Bubba Shimp (1 1/3 IPs, 1 hit, 2 BBs, 2 wild pitches). Jefferson scored five runs in the first inning to send them

Cougars bounce Titans By Charlie Warnimont

GLANDORF OttawaGlandorfs pitching and defense deserted them for one inning Monday evening during their ACME contest at the Field of Dreams. That one inning was all Van Wert needed to overcome a deficit. Four of the Cougars runs in their 8-run fourth scored on errors as Van Wert rallied to post a 13-8 win over the Titans in a game that lasted two hours and 45 minutes. Van Wert trailed 5-2 going to the fourth inning when they sent 12 batters to the plate. The Cougar fourth started innocently enough with a ground ball to second base. A bunt single towards first base by Ryan Stoller gave Van Wert a base-runner before Tyler Williams lined a single to right that put runners on the corners. A wild pitch allowed Ryan Stoller to score before Nate Stoller reached on an infield single. Brant Henry followed with an infield single that allowed Williams to score before a wild pitch advanced the two runners. Walks to Andrew Todd and Kevin Agler forced in a run. Cody Keirns bounced into a fielders-choice play at home plate as Henry was out. The third out was tough for O-G to come as Jake Hoverman was hit by a pitch to force in a run, giving Van Wert a 6-5 lead. Sean Miller followed with a ground ball to shortstop

but the throw to first base was off target, allowing two runs to score. A slow roller to third base by Ryan Stoller was also misplayed, allowing two more runs to score giving the Cougars a 10-5 lead as a ground ball to second base finally ended the inning. Ottawa-Glandorf came back with a run in the bottom of the fourth as Cory Imm lined a double to left and scored as Cody Bockrath reached on an error. That would be all the Titans would get as the next three batters were retired on a groundout and two infield pop-ups. Van Wert kept the pressure on the Titans, scoring three runs against Titan relief pitcher Ryan Maas. Nate Stolly opened the Cougar fifth with a single to center and Henry reached on a bunt single towards first base. A walk to Todd loaded the bases before Agler walked to force in a run. With Keirns at bat, Henry stole home plate on a throw back to Maas from the Titan catcher. Keirns walked to reload the bases before the first out of the inning. A ground ball to first by Miller allowed O-G to force Todd at the plate before Ryan Stoller was hit by a pitch to force in a run. Van Wert had a chance to break the game open more as Williams lined a pitch towards rightcenter. O-G second baseman Ben Ellerbrock made a leaping stab of Williams liner to end the inning. O-G scored single runs in

ACME ROUNDUP

on their way. With one down, Zavier Buzard chopped an infield hit to third, stole second and scored on a single to center by Kimmett; an error on the play moved him to second. An out later, a wild pitch on ball four to Drew Kortokrax put him at third and a miscue on the play brought him home, with the batter scooting to second. Seth Wollenhaupt singled to right to plate Kortokrax and an error on the sequence put the batter at second. A wild toss sent Wollenhaupt to third. Back-to-back free passes to Ricker (and subsequent steal) and Nick Fitch loaded the bases. Gaige Rassmans grounder was booted, scoring Wollenhaupt and Ricker, but Rassman was gunned down at second. Sean Monfort led off the Bearcat first with a single into center and a wild pitch moved him up a base. However, he went no farther. The Wildcats made it 7-0 in the second. Austin Jettinghoff walked to lead off and stole second and third (the latter on a strikeout). Kimmetts grounder scored him. Thompson rifled a shot to left. An error on a pickoff sequence (rundown) allowed him to go to second, from where he scored on a chopper to left by Kortokrax, with Thompson making an acrobatic effort to avoid being hit with the batted ball. Hunter French singled with one down in the Spencerville half and got to third on a wild pitch and a groundout by Dusty Settlemire but was left there. Schaad took over on the mound in the top of the third and sent down the next nine. The hosts put up a 3 spot in the third. With one down, Monfort was plunked. Bryce Ringwald walked. Both scored as Joel Shimp slapped a double to left. He took third on a wild pitch and scored an out later on another wild one for a 7-3 deficit. The Black Attack got a 2-out free pass to Ringwald in the home fifth. The Wildcats got to Schaad in the sixth. With two down, pinch-hitter Dylan Haehn walked and Jettinghoff roped a double down the left-field line. Both scored as pinchhitter Ryan Bullinger whacked a double to the fence in left center. In turn, he touched the dish on a chopper into left by Kimmett. Thompson singled into left to finish Schaad and bring Bubba Shimp to the mound. Both runners stole the next base and a wild pitch a walk to Kortokrax plated Kimmett and put Thompson at third; Kortokrax kept on going to second.

Spencerville got one back in its half against Ricker. With one down, Dan Settlemire walked, followed by French being hit by a pitch. An out later, Schaad was also plunked. Pinch-hitter Aaron Crider walked to force home Settlemire. However, a ground ball recorded the final out. The Red and White loaded the bases in the seventh: a 1-out liner to center by Fitch, an error on a steal and a wild pitch, followed by a walk to Gaige Townsend (and steal), then a walk to Jettinghoff. However, they couldnt score. Jefferson is at Fort Jennings 6 p.m. today, while Spencerville is at Lima Central Catholic.

Hewitt loses, Australian men blanked at Wimbledon

WIMBLEDON, England Australian men once dominated Wimbledon. This year they failed to win a match. Aussies went 0 for 4, including a loss Tuesday by 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt. That means no Australian man in the second round, the first time since 1938. During a 12-year span from 1960-71, Australians won the Wimbledon mens title 10 times. But in recent years, theyve experienced a decline similar to the United States, with South Americans, Eastern Europeans and Asians increasingly competitive as tennis becomes more global. Hewitts 14th Wimbledon appearance was brief. He needed a wild card to enter the tournament and lost to No. 5-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (5) 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Aussies Bernard Tomic and Matthew Ebden also lost Tuesday. Tomic, who reached the quarterfinals last year as an 18-year-old qualifier, lost to Belgian wild card David Goffin. Ebden was beaten by Benoit Paire. Hewitt drew an especially difficult opening opponent. The loss was his first in the first round at Wimbledon since 2003. Despite losing in straight sets, he found little fault with his performance. Hewitts victory at Wimbledon was the most recent major title by an Australian man. Now 31, he has been plagued lately by injuries, most recently a foot ailment that required surgery in March 2011. Hes just 4-6 in Grand Slam matches since August 2010 and the former No. 1 is ranked 202nd. He plans to be back at Wimbledon next month playing as a wild card in the Olympics and hopes to return to Wimbledon in 2013. At the moment Ive been focusing on getting back this year, doing everything right with my foot and rehab to get back to here, Hewitt added. Im proud of myself, of what Ive been able to do, all the hard work it has taken to get here. Id like to be back here, absolutely, but well have to wait and see. The winner of 555 matches in his career, Hewitt is only lately becoming accustomed By STEVEN WINE The Associated Press

each of the fifth and seventh for the final score. Agler picked up the win for Van Wert in relief of Todd. Agler worked the final four innings for the win as he allowed three runs on six hits. He had four strikeouts, including two to end the game. Nate Stoller and Henry both had three hits for the Cougars. Tanner Schimmoeller took the loss for the Titans as he worked four innings allowing 10 runs. Maas allowed three runs in three innings of work. Imm had two doubles and a single for the Titans, while Bockrath had three singles. Drew Schierloh, Jaylen Von Sossan and Ben Deitering all had two hits for O-G.

Knights rout Patriots 18-6 SEAN LAFONTAINE

CONVOY The Crestview Knights hosted the Patrick Henry Patriots Monday night in a matchup of strong baseball traditions. The Knights used a big first inning to take the lead and did not look back on the way to an 18-6 victory in five innings. After Damian Helm threw a scoreless first inning, the Knights went right to work in the bottom of the inning. Isaiah Simerman started the inning with a walk and then Bryce Richardson and Helm

got back-to-back hits and Alec Heffner a triple to clear the bases and give the Knights a 3-0 lead. After the Patriots recorded two straight outs, three more Knights reached base. Simmerman came back to the plate and this time, hit a single to score two runs and give Crestview a 7-0 lead. After Patrick Henry got a run back in the second inning, Crestview came back with another big inning, this time scoring five runs in the bottom of the second. After a Heffner walk and a Jordan Roop single, senior Jacob Harmon hit a shot to right field that landed on the warning track, scoring two runs and giving the Knights a 10-0 lead. Crestview added another two runs to give them a 12-1 lead after two innings. In the top of the fourth, the Patriots finally found some offense. With a man on base, Derek Hoops hit a shot over the center-field wall for a 2-run home run, making the score 14-4. However, the Knights scored four more in the bottom of the fourth to finish their scoring. Helm picked up the win on the mound for the Knights, throwing four innings and giving up three earned runs, while Anderson Okuley picked up the loss for Patrick Henry. Helm and Alex Brown both had three hits, including a triple for Brown, to lead Crestview at the plate. Simmerman, Richardson and Cam Etzler added two hits apiece.

to early exits at tournaments. Hes still not used to the experience. Hewitt was overpowered by Tsonga, a big hitter who beat 6-time champion Roger Federer last year to reach the semifinals. Tsonga totaled 61 winners to 12 for Hewitt. Petra Kvitova opened her bid for a second successive Wimbledon title by overcoming a shaky start to beat Akgul Amanmuradova 6-4, 6-4. No. 2-seeded Victoria Azarenka, the Australian Open champion, beat Irina Falconi 6-1, 6-4; and 4-time champion Serena Williams defeated Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 6-2, 6-4 on the same court where older sister Venus was upset a day earlier. In mens play on Centre Court, 2-time champion Rafael Nadal lost the first four games but rebounded to beat fellow left-hander Thomaz Bellucci 7-6 (0), 6-2, 6-3. Twelve matches were suspended because of rain. Threetime finalist Andy Roddick led Jamie Baker 7-6 (1), 4-2 when their match was halted. Sara Errani, runner-up this month at the French Open, held match point at 6-1, 5-3 against American qualifier Coco Vandeweghe when play stopped. She needed only seven seconds today to complete the win and didnt even have to hit a ball. They returned to Court 16 and when Vandeweghe double-faulted into the net on the first point, Errani had the victory.
British woman reaches Wimbledons 3rd round: Heather Watson gave Britain a woman in Wimbledons third round for the first time in a decade by beating Jamie Hampton of the United States 6-1, 6-4 today. The 103rd-ranked Watson won the matchs first five games to take control. In the first round on Monday, the 20-year-old Watson became the first British woman to win a match on Centre Court since 1985. Now shes the first woman from the host country to make it to the third round at the All England Club since Elena Baltacha in 2002. Hampton, who is ranked 100th, was playing in the first grass-court tournament of her career. Mardy Fish trying to feel confident about heart: Mardy Fish says he declined interviews after his firstround match at Wimbledon because of a stomach problem related to pain medication hes taking for his right arm and not anything related to his heart. Fish spoke to reporters today, a day after he beat Ruben Ramirez-Hidalgo in three sets at the All England Club. It marked the 10th-seeded Americans first match since a medical procedure in May to try to pinpoint an accelerated heartbeat. It was his first competition in about 2 1/2 months. Fish is still working to get his confidence back with regard to his heart. Fish next plays 173rd-ranked British wild-card recipient James Ward.

BCS gets boot in favor of 4-team playoff

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press WASHINGTON The best way to determine a major college football champion seemed so obvious to so many for so long. Just have a playoff. Now the people in charge of making that decision are on board, too. Come 2014, the BCS is out. Playoffs are in. A committee of university presidents approved a plan Tuesday for a 4-team playoff put forward by commissioners of the top football conferences. For years, the decisionmakers had balked at any type of playoff because they said it would diminish the importance of the regular season. If only two teams had a chance to win a championship in the postseason, even one loss could be too many. That made for some high stakes regular-season matchups. As recently as 2008, Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive proposed the type of plan adopted Tuesday and it was quickly shot down. Four years later, minds changed. Its a great day for college football, BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said. As soon as the commissioners realized they could do this and protect the regular season, the light went on for everybody. The move completes a 6-month process for the commissioners, who have been working on a new way to determine a major college football champ after years of griping from fans. The latest configuration is certain to make even more money for the schools than the old system and it still wont satisfy everyone. Some will think its too small and, yes, there are some who liked things just the way they are. There were differences of views, Virginia Tech President Charles Steger said. I think it would be a serious mistake to assume it was a rubber stamp. Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman was the most notable holdout, preferring the status quo or a tweak of the Bowl Championship Series. Perlman added the playoff still wouldnt be his first choice but he was not going to stand in the way of progress. After the commissioners presented their proposal to the presidents, it took the CEOs about an hour and a half to come to a decision. Instead of simply matching the nations No. 1 and No. 2 teams in a title game after the regular season, the way the BCS has done since 1998, the new format will create a pair of national semifinals. The BCS has been a constant target for criticism. Lawmakers have railed against it. A political action committee was formed dedicated to its destruction. The Justice Department looked into whether it broke antitrust laws. Even President Barack Obama said he wanted a playoff. Now its a reality. No. 1 will play No. 4 and No. 2 will play No. 3 on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. The sites of those games will rotate among six bowls. The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., is guaranteed a spot and the to-be-determined site of the newly-formed bowl created by the SEC and Big 12 is likely to be another, Slive added. The other current BCS bowls the Orange, Sugar and Fiesta are not yet guaranteed spots in the rotation but will get first crack at bidding for them. The Cotton Bowl, played at the $1.1 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has long wanted to be part of the BCS and will no doubt push to be a part of the rotation, possibly as host to the Big 12-SEC game. The winners of the semis will advance to the championship on the first Monday in January that is six or more days after the last semifinal. The first Championship Monday is set for Jan. 12, 2015. The site of the title game will move around the way the Super Bowl does, with cities bidding for the right to host. The teams will be selected by a committee, similar to the way the NCAA basketball tournament field is set. The mens tournament has 68 teams, 37 at-large bids. The football committee will have a much tougher task, trying to whittle the field down to four. This season, 125 schools will play at the highest level of college football. Among the factors the committee will consider is won-loss record, strength of schedule, head-to-head results and whether a team is a conference champion. The selection committee will also play a part in creating matchups for games at the four sites that do not hold a semifinal in a given year. I think its tremendous progress, said Washington State coach Mike Leach, a playoff proponent. Five years ago, there wasnt even dialogue about a playoff.

The Herald 7A

The Associated Press NL SAN FRANCISCO Ryan Vogelsong pitched seven innings to outduel San Francisco nemesis Clayton Kershaw for the second time this season and Melky Cabrera homered to help the Giants move within a game of Los Angeles for first place in the NL West with a 2-0 victory over the Dodgers on Tuesday night. Vogelsong (7-3) followed Barry Zitos seven innings in an 8-0 win in the series opener Monday with his own gem, marking the first time the Dodgers had been blanked in consecutive games in San Francisco since 1987 and for the second time ever. Cabreras leadoff homer in the fourth snapped Kershaws streak of 35 2/3 consecutive innings in San Francisco without allowing an earned run. Pablo Sandoval added an RBI single for the Giants, who havent been this close to first place since after the first day of the season. Kershaw (5-4) allowed two runs and eight hits in six innings.
CARDINALS 5, MARLINS 2 MIAMI Yadier Molina hit a 3-run homer and Kyle Lohse pitched into the eighth inning to lead the Cardinals to their fifth straight victory. One night after Molinas tying homer in the ninth inning keyed a huge comeback, St. Louis scored five unearned runs in the first. The Cardinals jumped out to a big early lead, aided by errors from Marlins starter Carlos Zambrano (4-6) and shortstop Jose Reyes. Molina took advantage of the miscues with his 12th homer. The Marlins have lost 8-of-9 and are 3-17 in their last 20 games. Miami manager Ozzie Guillen was ejected for arguing balls and strikes with plate umpire Dan Bellino. Lohse (7-2) allowed two runs and four hits while striking out four to lower his ERA to 2.82. Jason Motte pitched the ninth for his 16th save in 20 chances. REDS 4, BREWERS 3 CINCINNATI Bronson Arroyo took a no-hitter into the eighth inning before giving up a 3-run lead but Drew Stubbs led off the bottom half with a homer, sending Cincinnati to the victory. Arroyo allowed only one runner through the first seven innings, hitting Ryan Braun in the first. The slumping Brewers hit only four balls out of the infield during that stretch. After Milwaukee pulled even with three hits in the eighth, Stubbs connected on the first pitch from John Axford (1-5) for his first homer since June 2. Jay Bruce also had a 3-run homer. Sean Marshall (2-3) escaped the threat and Aroldis Chapman struck out three in the ninth for his ninth save in 12 tries, celebrating the 3-hitter with a pair of somersaults in front of the mound. BRAVES 8, DIAMONDBACKS 1 ATLANTA Tim Hudson pitched eight sharp innings and Atlanta opened its longest homestand of the season with a victory.

Hudson (6-3) allowed one run and seven hits, struck out seven and walked one. Freddie Freeman had three hits and drove in two runs, Chipper Jones also had three hits and Michael Bourn cracked a firstinning homer for Atlanta, which had 17 hits. Arizona right-hander Daniel Hudson (3-2) left in the second inning with pain in his right elbow and manager Kirk Gibson said he will have an MRI today. Hudson gave up five runs and seven hits in 1 2/3 innings. The Braves won the opener of a 10-game homestand. They play 16 of their next 19 at Turner Field. CUBS 5, METS 3 CHICAGO Anthony Rizzo had two hits and drove in the go-ahead run in his first game with the Cubs. Rizzo doubled home Steve Clevenger with two out in the fourth, making it 4-3 and sending the Mets to their fourth straight loss matching a season high. Rizzo was called up earlier in the day for his highly-anticipated Cubs debut after posting big numbers for Triple-A Iowa. Dillon Gee (5-6) struck out six in five innings for the Mets but gave up four runs and nine hits. New Yorks David Wright went 0-for-3 with a walk and a sacrifice fly, ending his hitting streak at 15 games. Scott Maine (1-1) threw two scoreless innings for his first big-league victory. Carlos Marmol worked the ninth for his fifth save of the season and No. 100 of his career. PHILLIES 5, PIRATES 4 PHILADELPHIA Ty Wigginton and Carlos Ruiz homered to back Vance Worley and Philadelphia won its second straight to climb out of last place in the NL East. Worley (4-4) allowed three runs and six hits in 6-plus innings. Michael Schwimer pitched out of a jam in the seventh, Antonio Bastardo worked the eighth and Jonathan Papelbon finished for his 18th save in 19 tries, allowing a solo homer to Michael McKenry. Ruiz hit his career-best 10th homer to give the Phillies an insurance run in the eighth. It was his 10th 3-hit game. Pirates starter Erik Bedard (4-8) gave up four runs and eight hits in six innings. NATIONALS 12, ROCKIES 5 DENVER Adam LaRoche homered twice for Washington and Ryan Zimmerman collected his 1,000th career hit and also homered. Ian Desmond went 4-for-4, Michael Morse had four hits and Tyler Moore also connected for the Nationals, who had a season-high 21 hits, which tied the club mark since the team moved to Washington in 2005. Gio Gonzalez (10-3) picked up the win despite allowing five runs, four earned, and eight hits in six innings. He struck out seven. Dexter Fowler and Jonathan Herrera homered and Jordan Pacheco had three hits for the Rockies, who have dropped 15-of19. Christian Friedrich (4-5) gave up four runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. ASTROS 5, PADRES 3 HOUSTON J.D. Martinez hit a 2-run homer, Jed Lowrie added a solo shot and the Astros held on for the win. Houston starter Jordan Lyles (2-4) allowed a run and six hits in 6 1/3 innings to break a 3-game losing streak and earn his first victory since June 3. Houston took the lead when a run scored on a wild pitch and extended it with an RBI single by Chris Johnson. Martinezs soaring drive to left-center off Kip Wells (0-1) made it 5-1. The game was tied at 1 after Will Venable and Lowrie exchanged solo homers in the third. AL BALTIMORE Albert Pujols homered in his Camden Yards debut,

MLB CAPSULES

Instead of diving in the water, they dipped their toes in. I think its going to be ridiculously exciting and its going to generate a bunch of money. I wish they dived in. Leach predicted that the playoff field would eventually grow. Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez, on the other hand, was happy to keep it small and wants it to stay that way. I may be in the minority. I think we had a pretty good thing going, he said. If it stays at four, I think it will be fine. Think it will be pretty exciting. No one has put a hard number on it yet but this new format figures to more than double the TV revenue of the current BCS and Rose Bowl contracts. Those pay out about $155 million annually. The commissioners want to lock in this format for 12 years with a television partner. The current BCS deal with ESPN runs through the 2013 season. The new format will be presented to potential TV partners in the fall, starting with ESPN. There are still some details to work out, such as who will be on the committee and how exactly the money will be distributed among the conferences. But everybody in charge is on board. While lower divisions of college football already have a playoff, the highest level has for decades used bowls and polls to determine its champion. Those days are coming to an end. A milestone thats good for college football, Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford called it. And a long time coming.

MLB GLANCE

C.J. Wilson allowed one run in seven innings and the Los Angeles Angels had a season-high 17 hits in a 7-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. Peter Bourjos, Mark Trumbo and John Hester also connected for the Angels, who have won 12-of-16 overall and 12 of their last 13 road games. The four home runs were a season high. Pujols doubled and hit his 12th homer, a 2-run shot in the fifth inning off Brian Matusz (5-9). Pujols has now homered in 33 ballparks off 282 different pitchers. Wilson (9-4) gave up six hits and improved to 5-0 with a 1.30 ERA in seven starts since May 18. Steve Pearce and Wilson Betemit homered for the Orioles, who have lost 5-of-7. Baltimore has totaled 11 runs over those seven games. The Orioles went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and are 2-for-41 in that situation over their last eight games. Matusz (5-9) allowed a careerhigh 13 hits in 5-plus innings. He has lost four straight starts. RANGERS 7, TIGERS 5 ARLINGTON, Texas Yu Darvish struck out 10 in seven innings to beat Detroit and win his seventh consecutive start at Rangers Ballpark. Josh Hamilton homered for the second night in a row. His leadoff shot in the seventh was his 24th of the season to match Torontos Jose Bautista for the major-league lead. Hamilton has a big league-best 67 RBIs. Ian Kinsler had a leadoff homer for Texas. Darvish (10-4) recovered from a shaky start to post his fourth double-figure strikeout game while joining teammate Matt Harrison and Tampa Bay left-hander David Price as the ALs only 10-game winners. The Japanese standout is the first major-leaguer since 1995 to win his first seven career home starts. Joe Nathan worked a perfect ninth for his 17th save in 18 chances. Prince Fielder homered and drove in four runs for the Tigers. He had a 2-run double in the first inning, when the temperature was 103 degrees. Drew Smyly (2-3) allowed six runs and eight hits over 4 2/3 innings in his return from the disabled list. YANKEES 6, INDIANS 4 NEW YORK Phil Hughes bounced back from a rough outing to pitch eight scoreless innings and Alex Rodriguez hit a long home run for New York.

RED SOX 5, BLUE JAYS 1 BOSTON Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a tying homer with two outs in the seventh inning and Boston rallied to beat Toronto. Saltalamacchias drive to left off reliever Jason Frasor just cleared the Green Monster for his 14th home run, tying it at 1. The Red Sox then loaded the bases on a double, a hit batter and a walk before Dustin Pedroia drove in two with a single. The rally spoiled a strong performance by Aaron Laffey in his first start in nearly two years. Luis Perez (2-2) took the loss. Adrian Gonzalez added an RBI double in the eighth after David Ortiz hit his second double of the game.

Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka went 5 2/3 innings, allowing five hits. Andrew Miller (2-0) got one out for the win.

European plan tries to convince TopMark Federal Credit Union receives 5-star rating Germany to do more for others
By TOBY STERLING and DON MELVIN The Associated Press BRUSSELS Top European officials have called on countries that use the euro to surrender more control over their national budgets, a move apparently aimed at easing Germanys fears of sharing debt burdens with struggling governments like Spain or Italy. The plan is meant to be a grand vision to save the euro currency from financial disaster and to set up negotiations between leaders at a key European Union summit on Thursday. Germany, Europes biggest and strongest economy, is increasingly isolated in its refusal to quickly adopt measures such as jointly issued eurobonds, which would see it take on some of the debt risk of financially weak countries. Some experts say such debt-sharing is what Europe BY NEIL WINGET Better Business Bureau needs to end its crisis as it would help defuse the prospect of unaffordable bailouts for Spain or Italy. But Germany is worried that such debt-sharing would tempt financially weak countries to spend irresponsibly once again and not reform their economies. Reassuring Berlin that governments would face tough oversight of their budgets would be key to easing Germanys resistance to debt-sharing. What is at stake is...the overall confidence in the euro area, and indeed in our commitment to the European project, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso told reporters in Brussels. For a genuine economic and monetary union to be established, I think we need a banking union, a fiscal union, and further steps toward a political union. The plan was drawn up by the gang of four top European officials: Barroso along with Council President Herman Van Rompuy, Eurogroup President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi. It is doubtful whether eurozone governments will be willing to cede control over their budgets and whether citizens of European countries would accept the idea even if their leaders sign off on the idea. The plan is to be debated by leaders from around Europe at a summit in Brussels Thursday and Friday that takes place against a backdrop of financial strains that are threatening to shatter the single currency. On Monday, Spain requested financial help to recapitalize its banking industry, and yields on Spanish and Italian government bonds are rising toward levels that forced the governments of Greece, Portugal and Ireland to seek bailouts. But Spain and Italy are widely considered too big to bail even for Germany. The plan proposes a medium term move towards eurobonds, as well as creating a banking union with a single authority. This authority, probably the ECB, would have the power to shut insolvent banks and insure deposits, with help from Europes permanent bailout fund. Though the plan is similar to those put forward by the International Monetary Fund and French President Francois Hollande, it was not embraced by Germany. Chancellor Angela Merkel told a meeting of her party Tuesday afternoon that she would not accept full debtsharing as long as I live. A lawmaker who was present confirmed the remarks to the Associated Press, on condition of anonymity, but noted that she was referring to a full sharing of all national debts. Her office declined to comment. LIMA Bauer Financial bestows its highest 5-Star rating on TopMark FCU denoting the highest level of strength and performance that a credit union can receive. The 5-star rating is based upon a complex formula which factors in relevant data including: capital, historical trends, loan delinquencies, market values of the investment portfolio, profitability, and asset quality. TopMark has been a five star credit union since 1995. In this time of uncertainty in the financial markets, said Angie Maynard, CEO of TopMark this is extremely reassuring news for our mem-

DEAR BRUCE: My BRUCE WILLIAMS mother passed away this past winter. My sister and I now own her home. I believe it is time to do something with her house, as all of the other affairs are settled. My sister would like to rent the house, but it needs some repairs, with the biggest one being a water leak. I told her that we would have to do some work on the house to get it into rental shape. She doesnt want to spend the money. She says shes not going to put one cent into the house to fix it and just wants to rent it as is. I think her husband is talking in her ear. Is there some way I can make the repairs and make her pay her share? We have loved that house, and it makes me sick to see it in ruin. I would like to fix the house and sell it. I am able to buy her out, and then I could do what I wish. Do you think thats the best way to go? -- Trisha, via email DEAR TRISHA: I sometimes wonder about people. I dont know what your sisters thinking about, but she hasnt a clue, and apparently neither does her husband, of what needs to be done. If you continue to let the problems fester, there will be more damage, and the house will be worth less and less. It seems so obvious that you cant rent a house with these problems. You might ask your sister if she would like to sell her half to you. She could get her money, and then you wouldnt have to worry about getting her approval for anything. Having a partner like your sister is going to be nothing but trouble, and her unrealistic attitude is not likely to change. DEAR BRUCE: What is your opinion of debt settlement companies? Can you recommend any to me? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: There are tons of debt settlement companies that advertise. What they have in common is they try to negotiate a lower payoff for people with relatively large debts. I know of none that I would personally endorse. I have heard that some companies handle this in a reasonably ethical manner; many do not. Get references. The one thing I can guide you on is to be wary of companies that want money upfront. While there might be a good reason to pay some money upfront, this is one thing that makes many people who are in hock very vulnerable. Try to work out an arrangement so that the debt settlement company gets paid only after a deal has been worked out with your creditor(s). Many of the companies will drop you as soon as you ask for that. DEAR BRUCE: My cousin, who had no real family of his own and with whom all in my family were very close, died. We wound up paying for his funeral. Now we understand that his estate is about to be sold, and we would like to be reimbursed. How can we go about getting our money back? Will we need to have an attorney present during the time of the sale to recover our expense? -- T.R., Georgia DEAR T.R.: I believe that when you say the estate is about to be sold, you mean his estate is about to be settled. Maybe a piece of property is to be sold. Either way, an executor has to have been appointed to your cousins estate or an administrator appointed by the Surrogates Court to handle your cousins affairs. That is the person you should contact immediately to make a claim against the estate. Where your claim will be in terms of other monies owed is another matter. You can certainly ask that person what your cousins assets are. The need for an attorney depends somewhat on the cooperation you receive from the person responsible for handling the estate and, of course, on whether there are assets that can be attached. If you think you are getting the runaround or untruthful answers, then by all means, hire an attorney.

More than 32,000 ordered to flee Colo. wildfire

By P. SOLOMON BANDA and LYNN DeBRUIN Associated Press WOODLAND PARK, Colo. A stubborn and towering wildfire jumped firefighters perimeter lines in the hills overlooking Colorado Springs, forcing frantic mandatory evacuation notices for more than 32,000 residents, including the U.S. Air Force Academy, and destroying an unknown number of homes. Heavy smoke and ash billowed from the mountain foothills west of the city. Bright yellow and orange flames flared in the night, often signaling another home lost to the Waldo Canyon Fire, the No. 1 priority for the nations firefighters. Interstate 25, which runs through Colorado Springs, was briefly closed to southbound traffic Tuesday. It was like looking at the worst movie set you could imagine, Gov. John Hickenlooper said after flying over the 9-square-mile fire late Tuesday. Its almost surreal. You look at that, and its like nothing Ive seen before. With flames cresting a ridge high above its breathtaking, 28-square-mile campus, the Air Force Academy told more than 2,100 residents to evacuate 600 households. A curtain of flame and smoke teetered above the academys Falcon Stadium; billowing gray clouds formed a backdrop to its aluminum, glass and steel Cadet Chapel, an icon of the academy. Elsewhere, police officers directing traffic and fleeing residents covered their faces with T-shirts and bandanas to breathe through the smoke. Colorado Springs Fire Chief Richard Brown said many, many homes were saved by firefighters. And Hickenlooper, who spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano Tuesday, told anxious residents that We have all the support of the U.S. government. We have all the support of the state of Colorado. And we want everybody here to know that. Throughout the interior West, firefighters have toiled for days in searing, recordsetting heat against fires fueled by prolonged drought. Most, if not all, of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana were under red flag warnings, meaning extreme fire danger. In central Utah, authorities found one woman dead Tuesday when they returned to an evacuated area, marking the first casualty in a blaze that consumed at least two dozen homes. Sanpete County sheriffs officials said they hadnt identified the victim, whose remains were found during a damage assessment of the 60-square-mile Wood Hollow Fire near Indianola. The nation is experiencing a super-heated spike on top of a decades-long warming trend, said Derek Arndt, head of climate monitoring at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. The Waldo Canyon fire, which started Saturday, was 5 percent contained before 65-mph wind gusts sent it surging toward Colorado Springs as it covered 10 square miles. The cause was under investigation. To the north in Boulder County, officials evacuated 26 households when a wildfire erupted Tuesday afternoon following a lightning storm. No structures were immediately threatened, but the National Center for Atmospheric Research, perched on a hilltop in front of Boulders famous Flatirons foothills, closed as a precaution. And in northern Colorado, the 136-square-

mile High Park Fire has destroyed 257 homes, authorities said. That fire was triggered by lightning June 9. Hickenlooper insisted Colorado was open to tourism, saying Colorados fires had affected just about a half-percent of all of the states public lands and perhaps 400 of its 10,000 campground sites. In Utah, officials said the Wood Hollow Fire was 15 percent contained. High winds forced authorities to shut down part of U.S. 89 near Indianola, and evacuations were called for Fairview, a town of about 1,100 residents. Elsewhere in the West: A fire that charred nearly 70 square miles west of Ruidoso, N.M., was 90 percent contained, with many residents allowed to return home. A wildfire north of Helena, Mont., destroyed four homes and forced additional evacuations. Gov. Brian Schweitzer issued a state of emergency for four counties. A wildfire in the Bridger-Teton National Forest grew from about 300 acres to 2,000 acres Tuesday, marking the first major wildfire of the season in western Wyoming.

are determined pretty early in the plants development and when temperatures are high, the damage can be more severe, he said. The plants attempt to limit water loss by rolling their leaves. Some of them have already started to do this. For some fields, the situation is desperate but it depends on how much rain they got when we did get some rain earlier. The area around the Indiana border is worse but the Delphos area was lucky to receive a little higher amount of rain. Spotty rain showers darkened the tri-county door recently but much more is needed and not all at once. Some rain came into the county last week and some people got a little more than others but most people didnt get very much. We didnt expect it to help, anyway. It will take about eight inches over about a 5-day period to really help us out and that isnt going to happen, McCoy said. He added that residents need not worry about their wells for now. The water table is good because we had a lot of

rain going into the winter. Reservoirs and wells are in good shape, so Im not overly concerned there. It will take a long-term drought to start effecting that but ponds are dropping dramati-

cally. Were getting a lot of evaporation but our reservoirs are in good shape. We probably have a year supply of water here in Van Wert, McCoy concluded.

Answer to Puzzle

By Bernice Bede Osol

THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2012 In the year ahead, you are likely to become involved with two different but distinct groups of friends. Youll enjoy sharing one groups worldly interests, while youre more likely to enjoy spending time with the other socially. Each will have its benefits. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Conditions in general look extremely favorable for you, with one exception: the management of your resources. If youre cautious in this area, everything will be fine. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Domestic issues should be given priority over all other mundane activities. Once youve met these obligations, go ahead and spend your time however youd like. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- In matters where you allow your emotions to govern your behavior, you arent apt to like the results. Conversely, in situations where you logically think things through, all should go well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If theres something special that you want and have been hoping to find at a good price, do your shopping early. Youll have better luck before everything gets picked over. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Situations that you think through thoroughly and can personally control should work out rather well, as long as you havent overlooked anything. Be sure to check the small details. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You can be a compassionate person who is ready to be helpful whenever possible. If you get a chance to exercise these fine qualities, keep your good deeds to yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Assess all developments logically, but also give credence to your intuitive insights. These innate perceptions could fill in the blank spots that your practical side misses. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- If youre involved with people who share your work world, its OK to talk shop. However, it you try to do so with anybody else, youre likely to elicit a big fat yawn. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Activities that offer elements of friendly competition might be extremely appealing to you. The important thing is to engage in such with pals who enjoy the game for its own sake. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you find yourself in either a mentally or physically competitive situation, dont despair. You have a hefty reserve to draw upon that your opponent lacks. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- When negotiating an important contract, hold firm to your terms and dont jump at the first offer if it isnt to your liking. Youll get what you want if you dont look desperate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- New knowledge that youve had a difficult time assimilating will be utilized to your advantage when, all of a sudden, the lights go on in your noggin. Youll suddenly have all the right answers.

several medications. Three years ago, her oldest son died in a car accident. Her middle child recently had a bout with cancer. Things have not been easy. I have watched her physical and mental health spiral downward. Some days shes fine, and other days she never leaves her bed. My kids have a hard time understanding what she says, and sometimes she babbles on about nonsense and odd things. How do I get my family some help? -- Fighting for My Family Dear Family: Please tell your children that Aunt Bee is not well, and teach them how to be tolerant and compassionate. If she is taking a variety of medications and is babbling and talking nonsense, it is very possible that she is overmedicated or needs to check the dosages and interactions. Whoever is in charge of her medical care should address this with her doctor. If no one is in charge, please offer to make an appointment and accompany her, and ask whether its OK to speak to the doctor on her behalf. She also sounds like she could benefit from grief therapy. Bless you for caring enough to handle this. Dear Annie: I think you missed a major point in the letter from Bride-To- Be, whose future mother-in-law wanted her to ask a cousin to be a bridesmaid. Bridesmaids are the brides decision. If she lets her future mother-in-law get her way now, think what she could do in the future. The mother-in-law was rude to make the suggestion in the first place, and she should apologize. The fiance ought to put his foot down now and not let his mother dictate what his future wife should do. I say nip it in the bud. -Omaha, Neb. Dear Omaha: A lot of readers agree with you, but we dont. A wedding is a time to blend families together. A considerate bride will include members of her future husbands family in her wedding party, especially if both her fiance and his mother would like it. Mom may turn out to be a bully -- its too early to say -- but the brides default position should not be no to every single request simply because she is afraid Mom will overstep. When Mom doesnt respect boundaries, its fine to say so. But otherwise, there is nothing wrong with occasionally accommodating someone your spouse loves. It shows maturity and grace.
