No evidence to claim of citys theft of property

BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Local business woman and member of Up to the Challenge Sheryl Fetzer has accused the City of Delphos of taking $1,000 worth of equipment used for swimming by members with special needs. Police Chief Kyle Fittro said his department took the report for the stolen swim equipment. Following an investigation, Fittro said there was no indication of any theft or any criminal offense committed by the city. Up to the Challenage founder Amy Hale is the mother of a special-needs son. She says accusing the City of Delphos of theft of safety equipment used by special-needs members of the community is way off the mark. The city in no way shape or form stole anything, Hale said. The equipment is being used as it is supposed to be. When Hale started Up to the Challenge, her goal was to provide activities for special-needs individuals. As Up to the Challenge grew, it included four annual events swimming, bowling, dancing and softball. A Dienstberger Foundation Grant was applied for in the early infancy of the group. Money was awarded, ran through the citys tax identification number and used to reimburse Hale for the safety swim equipment. When we asked for the grant, and even when I purchased the equipment before we applied for the grant, the intent was to provide this for all people in the community, not just those involved with Up to the Challenge, Hale said. We stored them at the Delphos Municipal Swimming Pool so the items would be accessible for anyone who needed to use them Up to the Challenge, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the librarys Summer Reading Program swim anyone with special

Rain cools RibFest in Van Wert

Staff report VAN WERT Everything was looking good at Van Wert RibFest over the weekend. Crowds were good, the music was hot and the ribs were delicious. Then the rains came. For the second year in a row, RibFest was cut short by a sudden storm moving into the area. This cloudburst not only packed rain but also plenty of thunder and lightning as well as high winds. Saturdays storm dumped over four inches of rain in an area between Venedocia and

needs. All these groups have special-needs individuals in their memberships. When the Up to the Challenge open swim was canceled, several parents of special-needs children and volunteers formed Families United: Beyond Expectations so an open swim for anyone who wanted to attend could happen. Hale said Delphos has been more than accommodating to special-needs individuals. The city has partnered with us for nine years and they have given so much to the special-needs community, Hale said. When we couldnt locate the equipment for the Families United swim last Wednesday, the city offered to buy us whatever we needed. The equipment was located and several of the people who needed it to be in the swimming pool were able to use it and enjoy being in the water. For some, it was their only chance to swim. Thats what its about. That is our goal. Hale said Beyond Expectations will continue to serve the needs of its members and added that she wouldnt object to have more organizations and groups geared toward that goal. I wouldnt care if we have five or 15 groups, Hale said. The more the merrier and the more these awesome individuals get to participate in. Hales involvement with the special needs community started when she was a teen. I became involved in the special-needs community when I was 13 years old, Hale said. I volunteered for Special Olympics and Ive been hooked ever since. It really showed me the contribution these people make to the community and that they need a place in the community to feel a part of it. God must have known I would have a special-needs son and this helped me prepare for it. Fetzer declined to participate in an interview with The Herald.

Postal service in the United States was greatly influenced by Benjamin Franklin, who was appointed Postmaster of Philadelphia in 1737, Joint Postmaster General of the colonies for the Crown in 1753 and Postmaster for the United Colonies in 1775.

60 years since the post office was opened, Levitt and others put together an open house to build awareness. The exhibit was a success which led to bigger aspirations. It went really well and we had such great artifacts. So we thought it should be a permanent museum. If we can have a canal museum on Main Street, why not a postal one as well? he asked. It took two years of hard work and on Nov. 11, 1995, the museum opened to the public 62 years to the day since the Delphos Post Office had its dedication in 1933. The museum moved to its present location at the corner of Main and Fourth streets in 2008. One attraction is a series dedicated to the transportation and delivery and its evolution over the many years. The museum is also home to historical murals that were done by Delphos own art guild as well as a dedicated replica of a railway mail service car that was used in Delphos.

Mendon toddler drowns in pool

Information submitted MENDON A 20-month-old boy drowned in an above-ground swimming pool Friday night, and Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey said his office in investigating the incident. This is a terrible accident, stated Grey, My heart goes out to the parents. Deputies are continuing their investigation, but there is no indication or suspicion that this is anything except a tragic accident. A 911 call came in around 9 p.m. Friday from James Quinn who told the dispatcher that he could not find his son, 20-month-old Evan Quinn. When deputies responded to Quinns home on S. Washington St. in Mendon, they were told that the child had been playing with toys by an above-ground pool in the backyard while his parents were watching him from the patio. Their attention was diverted for a very short time, and when they looked back they did not see young Evan. The parents thought the boy had walked around the pool, so they sent one of the older children to look for him. When he was not found, the parents looked in the pool and searched the surrounding area and inside the house. After 10-15 minutes of unsuccessful searching, the call was made to 911. The Mendon Fire Department was called out to help with the search. The responders searched the area and rechecked the swimming pool, however the water was very cloudy and visibility into

facts from an extensive stamp collection to a buggy used for rural postal delivery. And though the list of artifacts is impressive, the true draw of the museum for people from far or near is the story. Whether perusing or receiving an extensive tour, the museum tells the story of the postal service and the enormous impact it has had on todays society. It showcases the significant role it had in the development of the nation and how it helped shape our culture today, through transportation research, telegraph development and more. The museum reminds visitors the importance of the post office, one of the few agencies even mentioned in the Constitution, and that the post office used to be the major banking system in the country. The mail carriers were even in charge of keeping count of deer and other wildlife to help determine hunting season. These are just two of the many ways the museum imparts the significance and the history of the postal service. Visitors will hear the story of the struggles old and new of the post office and its journey from the horse and buggy colonial days to the car and segway days of today and tomorrow. The museum sees visitors from far and wide to hear the important history of the postal service. They come from all over Northwest Ohio and even from Germany. Whether its the Goldwings Club, the Red Hat Society or a senior citizens group, the museum has many pass through its doors.

Motive sought in temple slayings

The Associated Press OAK CREEK, Wis. As worshippers prayed and meditated at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin on Sunday morning, about a dozen women were preparing food in the temple kitchen for a post-service meal that is open to community members, regardless of religious affiliation. Then the shooting started, sending terrified congregants scrambling for cover. When the gunfire finally ended in a shootout between a gunman and police outside the temple in suburban Milwaukee, seven people lay dead, including the suspect, and three others were critically wounded in what police called an act of domestic terrorism. Satpal Kaleka, wife of the temples president, Satwant Singh Kaleka, was in the front room and saw the gunman enter the temple, according to Harpreet Singh, their nephew. He did not speak, he just began shooting, said Singh, relaying a description of the attack from Satpal Kaleka. Kaleka said the 6-foot-tall bald white man who worshippers said they had never before seen at the temple seemed like he had a purpose and knew where he was going. Federal authorities described the suspect as a white man in his 40s, but neither provided further details nor suggested a possible motive, including whether he specifically targeted the Sikh temple. We never thought this could happen to our community, said Devendar Nagra, 48, of Mount Pleasant, whose sister escaped injury by hiding as the gunman fired in the temples kitchen. We never did anything wrong to anyone. Late Sunday, the investigation appeared to move beyond the temple as police, federal agents and the county sheriffs bomb squad swarmed a neighborhood in nearby Cudahy, evacuated several homes and searched a duplex.

the pool was poor. Then a responder noticed what looked to be a foot on the bottom of the pool. A responder immediately got into the water, but had to be directed to the spot due to the poor visibility. After being directed to the location, the responder found the child on the bottom, near the middle of the pool. Responders immediately called for an EMS squad and started CPR. The child was transported to Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Marys, where he was pronounced dead. The Mercer County Sheriffs Office was assisted by the Mendon Fire Department, Rockford EMS, Celina Police Department, and many friends and neighbors who came to assist in the search.

Middle Point woman dies in Sunday morning crash

Information submitted VAN WERT A 90-yearold Middle Point woman was pronounced dead of injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash Sunday morning. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Geneva Lambert was stopped on Chenowith Rd. at the intersection with Lincoln Hwy. around 11:35 a.m. Lamberts 2012 Buick was facing northbound. A 2003 Dodge Dakota pickup driven by Lisa A. Hundley, 32 was eastbound on Lincoln Hwy. when the vehicle went off the south

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent Tom Ahern said warrants were being served at the gunmans home. Residents were allowed to return to their homes today. Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said police expected to release more information today. He said the FBI will lead the investigation because the shootings are being treated as domestic terrorism, or an attack that originated inside the U.S. While the FBI is investigating whether this matter might be an act of domestic terrorism, no motive has been determined at this time, Teresa Carlson, Special Agent in Charge with the agencys Milwaukee division, said in a statement Sunday night. During a chaotic few hours after the first shots were fired around 10:30 a.m., police in tactical gear and carrying assault rifles surrounded the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin with armored vehicles and ambulances. Witnesses struggled with unrealized fears that several shooters were holding women and children hostage inside. Edwards said the gunman ambushed one of the first officers to arrive at the temple as the officer, a 20-year veteran with tactical experience, tended to a victim outside. A second officer then exchanged gunfire with the suspect, who was fatally shot. Police had earlier said the officer who was shot killed the suspected shooter. The wounded officer was in critical condition along with two other victims Sunday night, authorities said. Police said the officer was expected to survive. Tactical units went through the temple and found four people dead inside and two outside, in addition to the shooter. Jatinder Mangat, 38, of Racine, another nephew of the temples president, said his uncle was among those shot, but he didnt know the extent of his injuries. When Mangat later learned people had died, he said it was like the heart just sat down.

Report: Ohio tobacco sales to minors down
DAYTON (AP) A new federal report shows that the numbers of Ohio retailers caught selling tobacco to underage customers declined to the lowest level since tracking began. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration says 9.9 percent of Ohio retailers violated tobacco sales laws in fiscal year 2010. Thats down from 13.5 percent in 2009 and 15.9 percent in 2008. The agency has been tracking illegal sales for 15 years. The Dayton Daily News reports that increased enforcement with state compliance checks and increased education efforts are credited for the decline. Nationally, some 8.5 percent of retailers were caught selling tobacco to minors. Health advocates say the vast majority of smokers begin the addictive habit as teens.

Ohio man faces court in wifes hospital shooting

Ohio gas prices up sharply

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio drivers are paying 40 cents more per gallon at the gas pump compared with one week ago. The average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.86 in todays survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. Thats up from about $3.46 last week. The Ohio AAA has attributed the sharp increase to multiple problems at Great Lakes refineries that bumped up wholesale prices for the region. The AAA said prices may continue to rise until they are resolved. A year ago, the average in Ohio was $3.66. Nationally, the average price for regular gas is about $3.62, about 13 cents higher than last week. The national average last year at this time was $3.69.

AKRON (AP) An Ohio man will be arraigned today on a charge that he walked to his wifes bedside in a hospital intensive care unit and shot her in what police say was possibly an attempted mercy killing. Barbara Wise, 65, was declared brain dead at Akron General Medical Center Sunday night, authorities said. Akron police said her husband, 66-year-old John Wise of Massillon, entered her room Saturday and shot her while standing at her bedside. Capt. Dan Zampelli told the Akron Beacon Journal that the shooting may have been an attempted mercy killing. It seems to be slanting that way, Zampelli said. He wanted to take away her suffering. The couple had been married 45 years. Jim Gosky, a spokesman for the medical center, said one shot was fired and security officers reached the ICU in about one minute. A doctor was in a nearby room. Gosky said privacy rules prevent release of details why Wise had been admitted to the ICU a few days earlier.

COLUMBUS (AP) A conference this week at Ohio State University seeks to stem what officials say is a growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse on campus. Kenneth M. Hale, an assistant dean at OSUs College of Pharmacy, tells the Columbus Dispatch that college students are increasingly turning to prescription stimulants, sedatives and painkillers to cope. A survey says roughly one out of four college-age students has illegally used prescription drugs. More than 100 people from 27 campuses, including about a dozen from Ohio, have signed up for the conference in Columbus where they hope to develop strategies to take back to their schools.

POLITICS

The one predominant duty is to find ones work and do it.

Congress abandons its workload for 5 weeks

ANDREW TAYLOR, DONNA CASSATA Associated Press WASHINGTON Congress performance matches its approval rating abysmal. Lawmakers headed home for a five-week break with a lengthy list of uncompleted work and little to show for the past year and a half except an eye-popping amount of dissatisfaction: Nearly 80 percent of Americans are unhappy with them. The Republican-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate have set record lows for production and record highs for dysfunction. Partisanship and election-year politics have left a drought-stricken nation wondering if new help will ever come and the U.S. Postal Service uncertain about its solvency. Some $110 billion in automatic, across-theboard cuts are due to hit military and domestic programs on Jan. 2, yet no bipartisan solution is in sight or even under discussion by those who really matter. At the same time, President George W. Bush-era tax cuts for all Americans expire, threatening to send a sluggish economy right back into recession. The standoff is what happens when a bitterly divided government mixes with election-year politics to throw sand in the gears of official Washington. The tea party-dominated House and a Senate controlled by Democrats struggling to MARTHA IRVINE AP National Writer keep their narrow majority in November view each other with a palpable disdain. House Speaker John Boehner, who came to Washington in 1991, bluntly described the divide that has made consensus a rare commodity. The American people are probably more polarized now than any time since Ive been here, the Ohio Republican told reporters. And as a result we see that polarization reflected here in the halls of Congress. And even though both sides have some sharply different views and ideologies, our job is still to find the common ground. But common ground is scarce. This is a Congress that cant do the big stuff while even the small stuff, such as a one-year extension of student loan subsidies that passed in June, makes them sweat. Congress stumbled out of Washington for a five-week vacation one day early on Thursday on a typical note: a GOP filibuster in the Senate of a bipartisan cybersecurity bill and the Houses abandonment of a one-year extension, as Republican leaders had planned, of food and farm policy. Senate Republicans were unhappy about being denied a chance to amend the cybersecurity bill. House Republicans were unable to find party unity on food stamps and farm subsidies The House settled for a paltry restoration of expired disaster programs for livestock producers and tree

Social Security say its funds, which have been built up over the past 30 years with surplus payroll taxes, will run dry in 2033 unless Congress acts. At that point, payroll taxes would provide enough revenue each year to pay about 75 percent of benefits. To cover the shortfall, future retirees probably will have to pay higher taxes while they are working, accept lower benefits after they retire, or some combination of both. How can you get a better return on your Social Security taxes? Live longer. Benefit estimates are based on life expectancy. For those turning 65 this year, Social Security expects women to live 20 more years and men to live 17.8 more. But returns alone dont fully explain the value of Social Security, which has features that arent available in typical private-sector retirement plans, said David Certner, legislative policy director for AARP. Spouses can get benefits even if they never earned wages. Children can get benefits if they have a working parent who dies. People who are too disabled to work can get benefits for life.

Social Security not deal it once was for workers

farmers. The Senate wouldnt do even that, demanding instead a full five-year farm bill with 80 percent of it, or about $400 billion, devoted to food stamps. More broadly, just 151 laws have been enacted in 19 months; more than two dozen of them were to rename post offices and courthouses, or add individuals to the Smithsonian board. By comparison, the previous Congress enacted 383 laws with President Barack Obama in the White House and Democrats controlling Capitol Hill. Even in 2007-08, when Republican Bush was president and Democrats ran Congress, 460 laws were enacted. They think compromise is a dirty word when compromise is necessary to get things done in the era of divided government, said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. A poll last month by CBS News and The New York Times found Congress with a 12 percent approval rating and 79 percent disapproval score. Lawmakers will return in September for what promises to be an abbreviated pre-election session with two main items of business. Most important is a sixmonth spending bill to keep the government running through March and prevent any possibility of a politically explosive government shutdown before the election. Not one of the 13 must-pass spending bills has been completed and the new budget year begins Oct. 1.

Could tougher voting laws squelch the youth vote?

CHICAGO Gone are the days when young voters werent taken seriously. In 2008, they helped propel Barack Obama into the Oval Office, supporting him by a 2-1 margin. But that higher profile also has landed them in the middle of the debate over some state laws that regulate voter registration and how people identify themselves at the polls. Since the last election, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Wisconsin and Texas and other states have tried to limit or ban the use of student IDs as voter identification. In Florida, lawmakers tried to limit third party organizations, including student groups, from registering new voters. Proponents of voter ID and registration laws say the laws are intended to combat voter fraud. The intent, they say, is to make sure people who are voting are who they say they are and have the right to vote. In this day and age, nothing could be more rational than requiring a photo ID when voters come to the polls, Pennsylvanias senior deputy attorney general, Patrick Cawley, said recently when defending the states

new law in court. Others see these efforts as attempts to squelch the aspirations of the budding young voting bloc and other groups, and theyre using that claim to try to get more young people fired up. You think your vote doesnt matter? Then why are they trying so hard to take it away from you? asks Heather Smith, president of Rock the Vote, a group that works to register young voters. It does demonstrate the power they have. Smith notes that its not just an issue for college students. She was teaching a civics class for graduating seniors at an inner-city high school in Philadelphia this spring and asked how many among them had drivers licenses that could be used, if the Pennsylvania law requiring a photo ID to vote were to survive the legal challenge. They looked at me like I had two heads, she says. Only two students in the room of 200 raised a hand; few of the students had cars. These are the sort of stories that have led some students to get involved, particularly on college campuses. In Florida, Rock The Vote joined with the League of Women Voters to challenge

Presidential campaign ads bombarding nine states

NEW YORK If television ad spending is any guide, the White House race will come down to nine states that have absorbed an eye-popping $350 million in commercials so far. Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida, the largest and most diverse of these highly contested states, are where the ad dollars have been concentrated, and thats been consistent this election season. They account for 120 of the 270 electoral votes a presidential candidate needs to win. Barack Obama carried all nine states in 2008 when he beat Republican John McCain, but polling and the ad crush indicate all are highly competitive this time. While the rest of the country is virtually ad-free, the Obama and Mitt Romney campaigns, along with a host of mostly Republican-leaning independent groups, are going at it in those really competitive states. Voters in just 67 of the countrys 210 media markets are confronted by campaign ads on local stations, according to the Kantar/Campaign Media Analysis Group, which tracks campaign advertising. No state has been flooded with more campaign advertising than Ohio, where an average viewer in the Cleveland television market is seeing about 87 presidential campaign spots a week. Florida is the second most heavily saturated, with viewers in the Orlando media market seeing about 70 campaign ads a week. Iowa is third. New York-based political ad buyer Joseph Mercurio called the figures unprecedented and astonishing. He noted that a heavy advertising presence in a competitive statewide race normally would mean about 20 spots a week for an average viewer. Mercurio said such heavy advertising in a state typically

restrictions on third party voter registration. A federal judge said last spring that many of the restrictions made it too difficult for legitimate voter registration organizations to do their work. During the fight, students at the University of Central Florida placed ironing boards around campus, a symbol that they were pressing the issue. Now, while most college campuses are relatively quiet, some of those students have taken it upon themselves to register their peers during freshman orientation this summer. We feel like its up to us, says Anna Eskamani, a 22-year-old graduate student and a leader at the Florida school. In Pennsylvania, when lawmakers were proposing the voter ID law there, 22-year-old Adam Boyer was among students who asked them to reconsider an outright ban on the use of student IDs. Id like to think that the proponents of this law werent trying to disenfranchise certain demographics. I hope it was an oversight on their part, and I think that was the case, says Boyer, a recent graduate of Penn State who plans to attend law school at Villanova this fall.

would cause polling numbers to shift. That hasnt happened this time, suggesting voters have tuned them out or only a few remain undecided. The Obama campaign has laid out nearly $125 million on broadcast and cable TV spots so far and has reserved millions more for August and the fall. Other than $7.5 million spent on national ads, almost all the money has gone into the nine critical states. The Romney campaign has spent just $45 million on television ads, but several conservative-leaning independent groups helped the candidate to match and at times exceed the Obama teams advertising efforts. Leading the way are American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, both linked to Karl Rove, President George W. Bushs longtime political adviser. American Crossroads has spent about $50 million on ads in the swing states, while Crossroads GPS, which does not have to disclose its donors, has spent more than $55 million.

Giant mural in progress
One of the biggest indoor murals ever painted in Van Wert is in progress at Wesley United Methodist Church. The mural, which extends floor to ceiling and across one entire wall of the churchs former upstairs chapel, is being created as part of a program to convert the room into a fun, friendly area for youth and childrens activities. With Pastor Josh Tissot coordinating, the mural was designed by Kay Sluterbeck, who drew a whimsical outdoor scene on the wall (complete with animals, friendly fish, and music-making kids). The underpainting was done by some of the church youth. Sluterbeck is now doing the final details and finishing work on the mural, which is to be finished in time for the churchs Vacation Bible School, which will run Aug. 20-24. Wesley United Methodist Church is located at the corner of Center and Blaine Streets. For more information or to sign up for VBS, call 419-238-6216.

Bolts Olympic party may only be beginning

By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press LONDON Legs churning fast, arms swinging high, Usain Bolt finally made it to warp speed a few steps past the halfway point of the Olympic 100 meters. Emerging from behind, he put clear daylight between himself and the field. Now he was racing against the clock, not the competition. Then, I thought, World record, Bolt recalled. But it was too late to do anything about it. And so the Jamaican simply had to be satisfied with the second-fastest time in history 9.63 seconds another gold medal and, of course, the comfort of knowing hell have another chance to rewrite the record book very soon. Undeterred from his goal of becoming a living legend, Bolt returns to Olympic Stadium today to receive his medal. A day later, hell begin running in his favorite race, the 200. His victory in the 100 on Sunday against training partner Yohan Blake, Americans Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay and the rest of the starstudded field promptly and emphatically shut down all the questions about his fitness and dedication questions that only grew louder after losses to Blake in both sprints five weeks ago at Jamaicas Olympic trials. At the trials, when Yohan Blake beat me, twice, it woke me up, opened my eyes, Bolt said. It was like he come, knocked on my door and say, Its an Olympic year, are you ready? I just really refocused and got everything together and came back ready. In their first rematch, the 6-5 Bolt beat Blake by 0.12 seconds a comfortable margin but hardly wide enough to ignore his countryman and training partner, who is more than three years younger and pushing him in ways few people thought possible. When the 200 heats start Tuesday, Bolt again figures to get his biggest challenge from Blake, the runner he nicknamed The Beast. Bolts world record is 19.19 but Blake has the secondfastest mark at 19.25. American Wallace Spearmon should be the other prime contender in that race. In the 100, it was Gatlin and Gay whove been crisscrossing the world, trying to convince themselves and anyone else who would listen that they stood a chance against The Worlds Fastest Man. Gay, who has worked hard to recover from right hip surgery over the last year, was crying hard after the race. Inconsolable. Gatlin was more moved by the occasion than sad about finishing third. The 2004 Olympic gold medalist served a 4-year doping ban that kept him out of the Beijing Games and he has fought hard since his return to restore both his reputation and his form. All the while, he kept perspective about how the sprint world had changed in the time he was away. After the 200, there are the relays, where Jamaica suffered a blow for the 4x100 when Asafa Powell pulled up lame with an injured groin. Bolt says he wont rule out the 4x400, either. He has talked whimsically about doing the long jump some day, less so about returning to the 400 the distance at which he used to train but really doesnt like. He has already joined Carl Lewis as the only men to win back-to-back 100s at the Olympics. And while Michael Phelps record of 22 medals isnt reachable for a track star, with a few more wins in London, Bolt will find himself in very rare company.

SPORTS
Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova of Russia took the bronze in womens doubles, while Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina finished third in mens singles, defeating Novak Djokovic. BEACH VOLLEYBALL Americans Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor beat Italys Marta Menegatti and Greta Cicolari 21-13, 21-13 on Sunday and next play Beijing bronze medalists Xue Chen and Zhang Xi in the semifinals. The Chinese pair advanced with a 21-18, 21-11 victory over Austrian sisters Stefanie and Doris Schwaiger earlier. In the other quarterfinals, No. 2 U.S. team April Ross and Jennifer Kessy beat Czechs Marketa Slukova and Kristyna Kolokova. Ross and Kessy will next meet reigning world champions Juliana and Larissa of Brazil, who beat Germans Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig 21-10, 21-19 in the last match on Sunday night. On the mens side, Americans Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal were scheduled to play today for a spot in the quarterfinals against Latvia. The U.S. men have won three of the first four gold medals since beach volleyball became an Olympic sport in 1996. But defending Olympic champions Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser wont play for gold they were knocked out in the round of 16. Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor have won the last two Olympics, sweeping to the gold medals in Athens and Beijing. SWIMMING Michael Phelps got up to leave his last news conference at the Olympic pool when his relay mates were asked if they thought he would really stay retired. Before they could answer, Phelps smiled and answered emphatically: Yes, yes. The most decorated Olympian called it a career on Saturday night with a fitting ending a gold medal in the 4x100-meter medley relay at the London Games. Phelps totals in four Olympics: 22 medals, 18 golds, 51 races and 9,900 meters of swimming. On a night when Phelps exited the world stage, Missy Franklin capped a brilliant Olympic debut by helping the U.S. win gold in the womens medley relay Franklin in the backstroke, Rebecca Soni in the breaststroke. Dana Vollmer the fly and Allison Schmitt in the freestyle with a world-record time, no less. The 17-year-old high school student from Colorado gives the U.S. hope for the post-Phelps era, having won five medals in London, including four golds to match Amy Van Dyken at the 1996 Atlanta Games for the most by an American female swimmer. She swam seven events, the same as Phelps. The Americans dominated the medal count at the pool, finishing with 16 golds and 30 overall.

By NASCAR Wire Service

LONG POND, Pa. Jeff Gordon, one of NASCARs biggest rainmakers, got a shower just when he needed it in Sundays Pennsylvania 400. Gordon didnt lead a lap under the green flag but notched a critically important victory at Pocono Raceway, thanks to an opportunistic move to the front after a restart on Lap 91 of a scheduled 160. Coincidentally, it was a mistake by Jimmie Johnson, Gordons Hendrick Motorsports teammate, that enabled Gordon to celebrate in Victory Lane and, more importantly, to resurrect his prospects for the Chase for the Sprint Cup. The victory was Gordons first of the season and 86th of his career in his 674th start. It was his sixth win at Pocono, tops among all drivers, and the second there in a rain-shortened race. Gordon took the checkered flag after 106 laps when rain halted the June 2007 event at the 2.5-mile triangular track. On Sunday, NASCAR parked the cars on Lap 98 after they ran seven laps under caution as rain moved into the area. When what started as a light rain became a torrential downpour, NASCAR called the race. Gordon surged to the lead when Johnson got loose in Turn 1 on Lap 91 and knocked Matt Kenseths Ford into the outside wall. Gordon, who had restarted sixth, saw an opening and dodged a handful of cars wrecking around him. Ive never seen the seas part like that, said Gordon, who moved to 13th in the series standings and now holds the second wild-card position for the Chase. I got a good restart, so I really got up to fifth as we were getting into the braking zone going into [Turn] 1. I dont know what happened to the 48. I just saw he got loose and when he got loose, it took everybody that was in front of us up the race track or into the wall. I just made it right to the bottom, stood in the gas and drove out ... and we were leading. For Gordon, who has experienced more than his share of bad luck this season, the victory was a welcome reversal of fortune. Its nice to know that things can still go our way, Gordon added. The way our year has gone, well definitely take it like this. I tell you what, with all the things that have gone wrong for us this year, Im hoping that this is the one that makes up for it all. Kasey Kahne finished second, followed by Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski and Tony Stewart. Despite a broken transmission, Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 32nd and kept his lead in the standings by five points over Kenseth (23rd), six over Greg Biffle (15th) and eight over Johnson (14th). Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards, Clint Bowyer, Regan Smith and Marcos Ambrose completed the top 10. Notes: Gordons win comes two days after the announcement that he will become the first NASCAR driver to receive the Heisman Humanitarian Award for his charitable work for childrens causes. ...

Williams sisters win gold again in Olympic doubles WIMBLEDON Serena Williams relishes her role as copycat little sister. Even if it takes her 12 years. Now she has that Olympic double just like Venus. The overpowering American pair won the doubles title at the Olympics on Sunday, with Serena adding to the singles gold she won on Centre Court at Wimbledon a day earlier. The sisters beat Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-4 under the roof on a rainy afternoon at the All England Club. Venus closed the match on the very grass she has long loved with a backhand volley winner after the Czechs saved a pair of match points. This was another commanding performance the sisters didnt drop a set through their five matches in London. On Saturday, Serena beat Maria Sharapova 6-0, 6-1 for the singles gold. She joined Steffi Graf as the only women to complete the Golden Slam winning the Olympics and the four majors. Third-seeded Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova of Russia took the bronze by beating the top-seeded U.S. pair of Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. With Bob and Mike Bryan taking the gold in mens doubles Saturday, U.S. tennis made it three golds in two days. Serena became tennis first double gold medalist at an Olympics since Venus won singles and doubles at the 2000 Sydney Games. The sisters also won the doubles gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. And with Sundays victory, each has a record four Olympic tennis gold medals. On the mens side, Andy Murray used an aggressive approach to beat Roger Federer 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 for the mens singles title, delighting a partisan crowd that had watched the dour Scotsman wilt in his biggest matches all too often. Sundays victory marked a career breakthrough for Murray. He has dropped all four of his Grand Slam finals, three against Federer, including the devastating loss at the All England Club a month ago. Federer was going for a career Golden Slam but settled for silver his first singles medal in his fourth Olympics. Murray became the first British man to win the gold in singles since Josiah Ritchie in 1908. He also picked up a silver in mixed doubles when he and Laura Robson lost to Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi of Belarus 2-6, 6-3, 1-0 (8).

and Newman are tied in the standings with 611 points each. Gordon gets the nod for the second wild-card spot on a tiebreaker (more fifth-place finishes, given that the drivers are tied for number of wins, seconds, thirds and fourths). ... Hendrick drivers have won seven of the past 11 races. For the first time since 2007, Hendrick has put all four of its cars in the winners circle. ... Gordon is third all-time in wins but hadnt won since September 2011 at Atlanta (31 starts). He is the 13th driver to win this season. This is his 17th season with at least one win. ... Hendrick Motorsports earned its 206th Cup win. ... Kahne got his third top-2 finish in the past five races and his best finish at Pocono since his win in June 2008. ... Truex Jr. (matched his best Pocono finish (2007); it was his first top-5 since finishing fifth in May at Darlington. ... Keselowski earned his 11th top-10 finish of 2012. ... Stewart got his fifth top-5 during the past eight races. ... Earnhardt Jr. had his worst finish of 2012 and failed to finish on the lead lap for the first time this season. It broke a streak of 21 lead-lap finishes.

Reds cant solve Burnett, snap win streak at 5 CINCINNATI -- They cant win em all. It hasnt seemed that way recently in Cincinnati as the Reds had won 22 of their past 25 entering Sunday, but a lights-out performance down the stretch from Pirates starter A.J. Burnett snapped the Reds 5-game win streak in a 6-2 defeat at Great American Ball Park. The Reds may not have walked away victorious Sunday afternoon but were still the biggest winners of the weekend. Cincinnati entered the series with a 3 1/2-game lead on Pittsburgh in the National League Central and the potential for that cushion to be cut to just a half-game by series end. Despite Sundays loss, the Reds managed to take 2-of-3 from the Pirates to extend their lead in the division to 4 1/2 games after winning 5-of-7 on their weeklong homestand. The Reds and the Pirates entered the series with two of the three best records in the National League and the series marked the first time since the NL Central came into existence in 1994 that the two clubs were at the top of the division this late in the season. Had the Reds pulled off a win Sunday, it would have marked their fourth straight NL Central sweep. But the magic just wasnt there on a dreary afternoon. Like they did in the first two games of the series, the Reds got on the board first, chalking up a run in the opening frame on an RBI double from Jay Bruce. Two first-inning hits and one run already matched the clubs total from the last time they faced Burnett back on May 30 in Pittsburgh, when Burnett allowed two total hits and no earned runs in seven innings. The Burnett the Reds saw in May reappeared in the fourth inning. Drew Stubbs knocked a solo homer off the Pirates ace in the third, which marked the last hit the Reds scrounged for the rest of the game. Burnett, who came within four outs of tossing his second career no-hitter in Chicago in his previous start, retired 24-of-25, including 18 in a row, before walking two in the ninth inning that forced his exit after 8 2/3. Joel Hanrahan got the last out for his 32nd save of the season. Reds starter Homer Bailey didnt have the same fortune. The Pirates continued to hit deep shots off the Reds righty, who was constantly working out of jams. Bailey lasted just 4 2/3 innings, giving up four runs on nine hits, marking his seventh loss of the season and the second straight start in which hes failed to get past the fifth inning. The Reds are now 6-6 against the Pirates this season. There are still six games remaining on the schedule between the two sides -- one in Cincinnati (Sept. 10-12) and one in Pittsburgh (Sept. 28-30). If a series in the first week of August held these implications and drew 121,030 fans over three games, one can only imagine the September showdowns that are still to come. ----Tribes skid hits 9 in extrainnings loss DETROIT Every loss hurts but not every loss has a team feeling overwhelmingly defeated. The Indians suffered the kind of loss on Sunday afternoon that left them in a state of shock. Finally, Cleveland showed the fight that has been missing lately and it did not matter in the end. The Indians sat one out away from ending a run of misery that has lasted over a week and instead headed home with their heads hung following a heart-breaking 10-8 loss to the Tigers in 10 innings at Comerica Park. With the defeat, Cleveland ended this crippling road trip with an 0-9 record. The Indians had momentum finally swinging in their direction after Josh Tomlin miraculously escaped a critical bases-loaded situation to avoid a walk-off loss in the ninth inning. Cleveland felt in control after Travis Hafner and Ezequiel Carrera launched back-to-back homers in a 3-run burst in the 10th that pushed the Tribe to an 8-5 lead. See MLB, page 7

NASCAR fans warned of lightning, rain: NASCAR fans at Pocono Raceway were advised over public address systems and through social media to take cover when lightning and heavy rain hit the track near the end of the race. The warnings werent enough to avoid tragedy at the track. Lightning strikes killed one fan and injured nine others, one critically, racetrack officials announced. Multiple lightning strikes occurred behind the grandstands and outside one of the gates as fans were leaving, Pocono spokesman Bob Pleban told reporters. It wasnt immediately clear how many of the fans were actually struck by the lightning itself or were injured by related jolts. One person remained hospitalized in critical condition at Lehigh Valley Hospital Center. Three people were taken to hospitals with minor to moderate injuries and five others were treated on the scene. Unfortunately, a member of our raceway family here, a fan, has passed away, Pocono President Brandon Igdalsky said in announcing the death. He provided no details about the victim but expressed condolences to his family. Igdalsky later posted on Twitter, My family and I are praying for all those that were involved in the lightning strikes. ... Difficult evening for all. NASCAR spokesman David Higdon added We are deeply saddened that a fan has died and others were injured by lightning strikes following todays race at Pocono. Our thoughts are with them as well as those affected by this unfortunate accident. The victim was in or near his car in a parking lot after the race had ended when lightning struck the car, Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen said, adding bystanders performed CPR on the man, who had gone into cardiac arrest, until paramedics arrived and took him to the tracks medical facility, where efforts to revive him failed. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. The attendance was estimated by the track at 85,000 and PA announcements were made before the storm and the end of the race for fans to take shelter and evacuate the grandstands. There was no order to evacuate the track premises. Kyle Manger, a spectator from New Jersey, told The Sporting News that he saw people hit by lightning near the Turn 3 grandstands. Gordon said at a post-race news conference that he could hear a huge crack as he walked down the pit road during the storm: You could tell it was very close. I mean, thats the thing thats going to take away from the victory, is the fact that somebody was affected by that. Hendrick Motorsports also offered sympathies on Twitter, writing, Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the lightning at Pocono Raceway.

(Continued from page 6) Then, falling in line with the rest of this trying journey, everything fell apart. With two outs and no one on base, Indians All-Star closer Chris Perez imploded. He allowed two walks and three hits, including the games decisive blow: a towering walk-off 2-run homer by Miguel Cabrera that sent Comerica Park into a frenzy. The loss put the final touches on

the worst road trip in the 112-year history of the Indians; no team had ever gone winless on a road trip of nine games or more. The most glaring problem was subpar starting pitching (a combined 0-7 with an 11.69 ERA, allowing 55 earned runs over 42 1/3 innings). For the finale of this 3-game set in the Motor City, Cleveland summoned lefthander Chris Seddon from Triple-A and gave him a shot at ending the rota-

tions downward spiral. He was hardly spectacular (4 1/3 innings, 4 runs allowed on 7 hits with 3 walks) but put the Indians in a position to win. Against Detroit right-hander Max Scherzer, Cleveland churned out four runs in his five innings. Michael Brantley and Hafner chipped in an RBI apiece in the first inning and Shin-Soo Choo belted a solo homer in the third. Carlos Santana added an RBI single in the fifth inning.

Olympic Viewing: Carillos wild Bond ride

By DAVID BAUDER The Associated Press The ride probably shaved a few weeks off Mary Carillos life, but the look of sheer terror on her face as James Bonds Aston Martin briefly went airborne during a highspeed run through the English countryside is worth the agony. At least for viewers. It was part of her immersion into all things Bond for a feature Sunday in NBCs prime time. She visits a warehouse filled with props from years of Bond movies, sees a tailor to get the secrets of the Bond look and learns how to make a cocktail shaken, not stirred. Sports purists may grumble, but the slice of life features about Olympic host countries provided by Carillo and Jimmy Roberts are usually a welcome diversion in NBCs coverage. Between the events and the apparent need to showcase Ryan Seacrest, theyve been mostly missing from London, although NBC promises that will change during the second week. On the flip side of her Bond feature, Carillo also goes bog snorkeling in Wales. Were not sure what that is, but it doesnt sound as glamorous. Its nice to have relief from all of the sports, said Carillo, whose non-British specific feature on the old Soviet gymnast Olga Korbut aired Sunday morning. You want to remind people of where you are and what the history and the culture are all about. Carillo, who also anchors NBCs late-night coverage, said shed prepared about 20 features for the London Games. My stories are landing in different incarnations at different lengths, she said. RATINGS: An average of 28 million people watched NBCs Saturday prime-time coverage, a night where the highlight was Michael Phelps final gold medal swim, the Nielsen company said. Its the first time during the London Olympics where a night of coverage fell behind the cor-

responding night in Beijing four years ago, when 31.6 million people watched. LIVE TIME: NBC has its share of critics for an often formulaic, tape-delayed prime-time broadcast, but the weekend offered a chance for viewers to catch the fun smorgasbord of live material available during the daytime. Early risers Sunday could catch the womens marathon on NBC, the Williams sisters winning the doubles gold in tennis on the NBC Sports cable network, then the Andy Murray-Roger Federer match for gold in singles on NBC. MAC ATTACK: John McEnroe is a welcome addition to the NBC team, and you can see his role expanding in future Olympics. Hes refreshingly candid. Did you expect anything else? When Ted Robinson noted with a certain disdain the pop music played over the loudspeaker at Wimbledon, McEnroe was enthusiastic. What a perfect opportunity to add more spice to the event, he said, adding that the Wimbledon crowd is often too polite. VAULT: Savvy use of technology comparing the height of Kohei Uchimura and McKayla Maroney performing the same vault, showing how Maroney jumps significantly higher. That said, the coverage of Maroneys silver medal unfortunately dismissed the achievement of the gold medal winner, Sandra Izbasa of Romania, and ignored a reaction from Maroney that wavered between disappointment and poor sportsmanship. BLADE RUNNER: Kudos to NBC for highlighting a moment of supreme sportsmanship, when 400-meter semifinal heat winner Kirani James of Grenada humbly askedSoaringEagle&TonyOrlando to exchange name LancastersJONAH&Pittsburgh bibs with last-place finishSoaringEagle&TonyOrlandoHappyDays,Belterra&RedsGam er Oscar Pistorius of South LancastersJONAH&Pittsburgh LasVegas-6/18-22 Africa, the double amputee HappyDays,Belterra&RedsGam SalutetoAmericaCelebration who ran with two artificial LasVegas-6/18-22 ChicagoTour-7/6-8 legs.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2012 difficulties that would last a long while. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you find yourself stymied by a lack of support, be both patient and persevering. There isnt anyone who cant be won over. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont expect your colleagues to do things for you that you could easily do for yourself.

Jamaica gets rain as TS Ernesto passes to south

BY DAVID McFADDEN The Associated Press PORT ROYAL, Jamaica Tropical Storm Ernesto brushed past the Caribbean countrys southern coast Sunday, causing heavy rains but few problems as it took a course expected to carry it by Honduras and across the Yucatan Peninsula into the Gulf of Mexico. Forecasters at Jamaicas Meteorological Service said rain had tapered off by Sunday evening although light to moderate showers from squalls were still reported across most of the island, especially eastern areas. In Jamaicas southern capital of Kingston, Ernesto dumped some rain but left no noticeable damage. Island authorities urged people in floodprone areas to stay on alert and urged fishermen on outlying cays and banks to remain in safe harbors on the main island. As the storms outer bands approached earlier, Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller called on all Jamaicans to make the necessary preparations to ensure their safety. I urge you to especially consider the children, the sick, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and the most vulnerable in the society, she said. Daniel Edwards, a dreadlocked fisherman in Port Royal, a small fishing village at the tip of a spit of land near Kingstons airport, said vigorous lightning lit up the sky over the sea late Saturday and early Sunday. Bailing out his small wooden fishing boat next to a dilapidated wooden dock, Edwards said he wasnt overly concerned by the storm. Its not much of a muchness, said the veteran fisherman, decked out in rain gear. Forecasters said Ernesto could begin drenching the coast of Honduras today. It is then expected to strengthen, possibly becoming a weak hurricane, before moving ashore near the Belize-Mexico border Tuesday night and passing into the Gulf of Mexico. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Ernesto had become a bit more organized as it moved away from Jamaica and its forward movement had slowed some. A tropical storm watch was in effect for the coast of Honduras, from the border with Nicaragua westward to Punta Castilla, and the main island of Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands. A Cayman government statement urged Grand Cayman residents to monitor the storm but said the storm was not like-

ly to have serious effects on the British Caribbean territory. The U.S. hurricane center said Ernesto was centered about 235 miles (375 kilometers) east of Cabo Gracias a Dios on the Nicaragua-Honduras border late Sunday. It had maximum sustained winds near 50 mph (85 kph) and was moving westward at 15 mph (24 kph). Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Florence, which formed far out in the Atlantic, stopped strengthening by early Sunday and was no longer expected to gain strength, the hurricane center said. Florences top sustained winds had slowed further to 40 mph (65 kph) by late Sunday and it was 925 miles (1,485 kilometers) west of the Cape Verde Islands. Forecasters said a gradual weakening was expected and the storm was likely to become just a tropical depression today.

Many wildfire Oklahoma evacuation orders lifted

KEN MILLER Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY Many Oklahoma residents forced to leave their homes because of raging wildfires were allowed to return Sunday, despite some blazes continuing to burn and emergency shelters remaining open in four communities. A monster fire had devoured almost 91 square miles and continued to burn between Mannford and Kellyville in northeastern Oklahomas Creek County as light rain and cooler temperatures gave firefighters a brief respite early Sunday, said Oklahoma Forestry Services spokeswoman Michelle Finch-Walker. She said the blaze hopscotched, burning some areas and leaving others untouched. Its not like an inferno moving across the landscape, FinchWalker said. You can drive for miles down the highway and see nothing but black, but then you can see pockets of green, pockets unburned. Maybe there was a creek (that stopped the fire), she said. Maybe the wind blew it in a different direction. Finch-Walker said residents of the town of Mannford, which was evacuated Saturday, were allowed to go back to their homes. Gov. Mary Fallin traveled to Mannford and nearby Drumright on Sunday, where she met with residents and local officials, telling reporters afterward that the state is doing all it can to assist in putting out the flames. This has really stretched the resources of the state of Oklahoma, she said. Its just been a huge fight.

Wear it proud: The US flag as a fashion statement

DANICA KIRKA Associated Press LONDON (AP) There was no mystery as to which team Varun Pemmaraju was supporting: His American flag was tied around his neck, the Stars and Stripes floating like a cape behind him. I was going for the Superman, Captain America-look, said the beaming 19-year-old computer science and chemical engineering student from San Jose, California, as he stood a stones throw from Olympic Stadium. I thought America was a little underrepresented. Patriotism and the Olympic games have long gone together, but gone are the days when one just waved a flag. Now flags are worn. The fashion flags can be found at Olympic Park and around London as shift dresses and smocks, pants and shorts, hats and shoes, even dangly earrings and bracelets. Theres apparently no garment nor nail polish that cant be fashioned into something akin to a national banner. Although the sponsorship police at the International Olympic Committee can stop merchants from using the five Olympic rings, theres no trademark police on flags. Besides, capitalizing on a good fashion idea is not new. In recent years, fast fashion has transformed the retail industry, as mainstream companies seize the hottest ideas from the catwalk, copy them as quickly as possible and move them onto the shop floors. Some manufacturers have gotten so fast they can produce wearable creations from factory to store in the same season in which they were created by top designers at Chanel, Ralph Lauren or Dior.

Finch-Walker said Forestry Services had sent pumper trucks with water and bulldozers to fight the fires, while the Oklahoma National Guard provided helicopters to dump water on the flames. They dont put out the fire, they cool down the area, by dropping water on a blaze, Finch-Walker said. To allow firefighters to get in and fight. Nigel Holderby, a spokeswoman for the American Red Cross, said four shelters remained open Sunday: at a senior center in Cushing and churches in Sand Springs, Lexington and Choctaw. An information center in the high school auditorium in Luther also remained in operation, Holderby said. The center, established by the Red Cross, Salvation Army and other agencies, is providing residents with information on how to find government assistance, such as replacing birth certificates and Social Security cards. As many as 18 fires have been reported since late last week. No serious injuries have been reported. Three firefighters were treated and released Friday after suffering burns, Finch-Walker said. The National Weather Service said .15 to .16 inches of rain fell early Sunday in the area, but no more was expected until at least midweek. Temperatures for the next two to three days are expected to be somewhat milder, in the 90s rather than above 110 degrees, meteorologist Bart Haake said. Firefighters welcome the news about milder weather, FinchWalker said, but realize those temperatures will only last a couple days.
