Vantage renancing saving $4.1 million
BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor

VAN WERT It is always good
news when nancing arrangements can
be changed to save money. For Vantage
Career Center, renancing bonds is sav-
ing the district approximately $4.1 mil-
lion and will enable the district to shave
seven years from the time needed to pay
off the debt.
In June, the Vantage Board of
Education approved the refinanc-
ing of the districts outstanding 2010
School Improvement Build America
Bonds to take advantage of current
conditions in the bond market. Clos-
ing for the new bonds was completed
on July 9.
The Board of Education wants to
take every opportunity to reduce taxes
to our constituents, and with the favor-
able bond market conditions, utiliz-
ing this refunding provided substantial
savings for the district, stated Vantage
District Treasurer Lori Davis.
The amount renanced was just
under $16 million. This is from the
money approved by voters to com-
plete the $35 million renovation and
expansion project which added 67,000
square feet to the school, bringing it to
187,000 square feet, as well as mod-
ernizing the labs and classroom facili-
ties.
The renancing was done with the
assistance of Omar Ganoon, manag-
ing director of Ross, Sinclaire and
Associates, who recommended the
move. The Build America Bonds were
originally made available as part of
the American Recovery and Reinvest-
ment Act. That program was ended at
the end of 2010.
Through this restructuring Vantage
was able to accelerate debt payments to
cut the number of years for payback by
seven years. The 1.05 mill levy approved
in November 2009 and the assistance of
the Ohio School Facilities Commission,
which was accepted in 2008, made the
project possible.

Awakening Minds Art set to
collaborate with art guild

LIMA Since Awaken-
ing Minds Arts inception ve
years ago when Executive
Director Sarah Crisp began
working from the trunk of her
vehicle presenting her vision
to administrators of nursing
homes her dreams of pro-
viding therapeutic and educa-
tional programming to people
of all ages and abilities in the
Tri-county area has come to
fruition.
The Findlay-based non-
prot organization serves chil-
dren with special needs who
experience challenges partici-
pating in group activities, as
well as people who may have
dementia, cerebral palsy and
Downs Syndrome.
We are excited to an-
nounce that we are collaborat-
ing with the Delphos Area Art
Guild (DAAG) and expanding
our program into Delphos,
Crisp said proudly. There
has been a lot of interest in the
community.
She said some students in
the surrounding areas of Del-
phos used to travel to both
the Findlay and Lima for ses-
sions.
Crisp explained that the de-
tails of the programming with
the art guild are incomplete at
this time but sessions may be-
gin as soon as this fall.
DAAG Executive Director
Shauna Turner-Smith said she
is looking forward to partner-
ing with AMA to bring the
convenience of educational
and therapeutic art program-
ming to all local communi-
ties.
The number of families
and individuals that can bene-
t from art therapy is continu-
ally increasing, Turner-Smith
explained. Some families
live day to day and dont go
outside of their homes, espe-
cially when travel is difcult.
We want them to know they
have options.
We take therapeutic goals
and incorporate them into our
programming and teach stu-
dents how to apply the goals
to their daily lives outside
of the classroom, Crisp ex-
plained.
Art Instructor Anita Rie-
man, who has worked with
Crisp for three and one-half
years and has an extensive
12-year background working
with special needs children,
will be the instructor for the

Only minor issues arise with
dispatching move
BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Hope for the best; prepare
for the worst. That is how the City of Delphos
and the Allen County Sheriffs Ofce looked
at moving dispatching services from Delphos
to the Allen County 9-1-1 Dispatch Center. Af-
ter nearly two weeks, the mantra seems to have
worked.
Overall, everything has gone very well,
Delphos Safety Service Director Shane Cole-
man said. Have we had major issues? No.
Have we had minor issues? Of course.
Allen County 9-1-1 Director Chief Deputy
Jim Everett is also pleased with the smooth
transition.
Everything has gone fairly easy, Everett
said. We did have a case that led us to update
our maps. We had a call from just outside of
Delphos and the address was not in our system.
Weve updated that and were good to go.
Allen County has added two dispatchers
to the center with one currently being trained
and the second starting in the next week or so.
Everett said there really hasnt been a notice-
able change in the call volume at the center
because all landline and cell phone 9-1-1 calls
from Delphos were already being serviced at
the center.
The only calls from Allen County we do
not get are landline calls from inside the city
limits of Lima. We were already processing all
other calls, Everett said. Nothing is perfect
but we are satised with the way things have
worked so far.
Colemans main concern is the citys
switch to the MARCS radios which are used
throughout the county and state for safety
services. MARCS (Multi-Agency Radio
Communication System) is an 700/800 MHz
radio and data network that utilizes state-of-
the-art trunked technology to provide state-
wide interoperability in digital clarity to its
subscribers. The MARCS system provides
statewide, secure, reliable public service
wireless communication for public safety and
rst responders.
Our safety personnel are getting used to
the new system and the amount of radio trafc
it has, Coleman said.
Police Chief Kyle Fittro has concerns about
the coverage for the radio system.
The entire county is now using MARCS
and I know of at least two areas in Delphos that
are dead zones, he said.
The Delphos Police Department lobby
is currently closed to the public with
a call button on the front door. When
the button is pushed, it will connect
the person with the Allen County
Sheriffs Ofce. Once the nature of
the call is understood, an ofcer will
be called to the station or the person
will be transferred to a phone tree
for the municipal building, the police
department of the re department
and asked to leave a voice mail for
the appropriate person. (DHI Media/

HOUSTON (AP) A man
accused of killing six mem-
bers of his ex-wifes family,
including four children, af-
ter forcing his way into their
suburban Houston home col-
lapsed in court twice Friday as
a prosecutor read out details
of the crime.
A shackled Ronald Lee
Haskell was standing before
a state district judge during a
probable cause hearing when
he fell to the ground. Deputies
lifted him to his feet and the
33-year-old Haskell stood for
about another minute before
collapsing again.
He was then lifted into a
chair and wheeled from the
courtroom.
His face, he obviously
lost blood in his face, and his
knees buckled, said Haskells
attorney, Doug Durham. Hes
scared. I think he has a lim-
ited mental capacity of whats
going on.
Before the collapses,
Haskell had acknowledged
with a quiet Yes a couple of
questions put to him by State
District Judge Mark Kent El-
lis about his legal rights. Ellis
ordered Haskell held without
bond.
Maybe reality is nal-
ly setting in, said Tammy
Thomas, the lead Harris
County assistant district attor-
ney in the case. Its not televi-
sion, this is not ction. He is
facing his consequences.
Thomas said she expected
a grand jury to issue a capital
murder indictment as a result
of Wednesdays fatal shoot-
ings of Stephen and Katie
Stay and four of their chil-
dren, ranging in age from 4
to 14.
Authorities have said
Haskell was searching for his
ex-wife, Katie Stays sister,
when he came to the home in
the northern Houston suburb
of Spring.
He tied up the family and
put them face-down on the
oor before shooting each in
the back of the head, accord-
ing to investigators. The fam-
ily had refused to say where
Haskell could nd his ex-wife.
The couples 15-year-old
daughter survived by playing
dead and told police Haskell
was planning to shoot other
relatives, according to court
documents. She suffered a
fractured skull when a bul-
let grazed her head but was
able to call 911. Police located
Haskells car and took him
into custody after a three-hour
standoff.
Durham, appointed by the
court to represent Haskell,
said his focus will be Haskells
mental condition and wheth-
er he was legally responsible
at the time of his conduct.
I think the evidence is go-
ing to show he is a troubled
individual and he has a his-
tory of mental illness, Dur-
ham said. Unfortunately, the
delivery of the health care has
failed in this system.
Thomas said that strategy
was not surprising, because
there arent many explana-
tions otherwise for him to
grasp. But she said the prob-
able cause in the case showed
a determined effort involved,
the planning, the conscious
decisions.
She said she would pres-
ent evidence to a grand jury to
seek a capital murder indict-
ment and a decision on the
death penalty would be made
later by elected District Attor-
ney Devon Anderson.
Katie Stays father, Roger
Lyon, said in a statement is-
sued Thursday through the
Harris County Sheriffs Of-
ce that his hospitalized
granddaughter was expected
to make a full recovery.
Stephen Stay was a real
estate broker. Katie Stay was
a helpful presence around the
neighborhood, planning Hal-
loween and Christmas parties
for children, said neighbor
Viri Palacios. Katie Stay also
went to Utah last fall to help
her sister escape her relation-
ship with Haskell, neighbors
said.

NEW YORK (AP) Another danger lurked as re and
smoke swept through the upper oors of a Brooklyn public-
housing high-rise: junk.
The 19th-oor apartment where the blaze started last week-
end was piled with it, re ofcials said, creating a mineeld
thats being looked at as a potential factor in the death of a New
York City reghter, the departments rst in the line of duty
in more than two years.
Lt. Gordon Ambelas death July 5 came amid what some
ofcials say is an uptick in re calls complicated by clutter,
conditions the FDNY code names Collyers Mansion after
the infamous 1947 case of two brothers found dead amid the
oor-to-ceiling clutter in their Harlem brownstone.
Up to 5 percent of the population has a hoarding disorder,
the American Psychiatric Association estimates, and reght-
ers say it shows up when entryways, hallways and rooms are
blocked by piles of stuff knickknacks, electronics, clothes,
boxes, papers and garbage.
We nd it more common today because people have more
possessions, said New York Assistant Chief Jim Hodgens,
who heads the citys re academy. People have two, three
TVs. People have more clothes today. I think as a society we
have more stuff. It complicates the search.
The U.S. Fire Administration does not track hoarding-relat-
ed res, nor does the National Fire Protection Association. But
there is no shortage of news accounts of res where junk has
played a role.
This week, a woman died in a blaze that tore through a New
Jersey row house where reghters had a hard time reaching
her second-oor bedroom because of an extreme amount of
clutter on the stairs.
In Portland, Oregon, in April, neighbors were unable to save
an elderly man in his burning home because he had too much
junk blocking the doors. Fire ofcials said they were hampered
by extreme clutter/hoarding conditions.
In Manchester, New Hampshire, in February, reghters
said they had trouble getting through knee-deep clutter during
a blaze that killed a 72-year-old in her home.
The front porch was loaded with things. The rear porch
was loaded with things every room in the house, the stairway,
District Fire Chief Mark Pelletier told WMUR-TV. Just pic-
ture that, trying to walk in that under normal conditions but
with full gear on trying to stretch a hose line. It hampered us
drastically.

Limaland Comedy festival to
bring laughs in honor of Diller
BY ERIN COX
DHI Media Staff Writer
news@delphosherald.com
LIMA Before well-known female
comedians like Ellen DeGeneres, Tina
Fey and Amy Poehler, there was Phyllis
Diller. Diller, born and raised in Lima,
opened the door for female comedians
in the 1960s and Limaland Comedy will
host Limas Funniest Lady Comedy Fes-
tival starting Wednesday to celebrate this
comedy icon.
She was the rst real female come-
dian and the rst female comedian that
became a household name, Limaland
Comedy owner Gina Chiappazzi said.
She was groundbreaking for women in
comedy and for women in general because
she broke the glass ceiling. Its awesome
that someone from Lima did that.
Born July 17, 1917, Phyllis Ada Driver
attended Sherwood Music Conservatory
in Chicago before transferring to Bluffton
University. In 1939, she married Sher-
wood Diller and they eventually moved to
California where Diller became a secre-
tary at a San Francisco television station.
The local television hosts heard her stand-
up act and invited her on their show in
1955. From there, her popularity spread.
In the 1960s, Diller performed, toured
and co-starred with Bob Hope. She was in
his comedy lms Boy, Did I Get a Wrong
Number!, Eight on the Lam and The
Private Navy of Sgt. OFarrell. She also
performed with Hope in his USO troupe
in Vietnam in 1966.
She won a Lifetime Achievement
Award in Comedy in 1992 at the Ameri-
can Comedy Awards and was nominated
for a Golden Globe for Best Female TV
Star in 1966 and for the Daytime Emmy
Awards for Outstanding Service Show

developing a local comedy scene with
a combination of both national headlin-

Last year, Limaland Com-
edy had an all-female comedy
competition to help raise funds
for a Phyllis Diller exhibit at the
Lima/Allen County Museum.
This year, the group decided to
host three events rather than a
competition. A portion of the
ticket sales and money raised
through rafes held at the events
will go to a fund for the exhibit.
Were doing this for the
community and the people of
Lima, local comedian Joe Deez
said. Every show is guaranteed
to make you laugh and has been
created to raise awareness and
funds for a Phyllis Diller exhibit
right here in her hometown.
In July 2013, Limaland
Comedy requested the mayor
and city council of Lima make
July 17 be forever known as
Phyllis Diller Day. That request
was granted and this year will
celebrate that accomplishment
of getting Diller that recogni-
tion in her hometown.
This year, we are focusing
on something for everybody,
Chiappazzi said. We have pro-
fessional stand-up comedy at
one of the classiest restaurants
in town. We even have an Ohio
comedian performing a spot-on
Phyllis Diller on her birthday.
Limas Funniest Lady
Comedy Festival will kick off
Wednesday with the national
touring comedian Sal DeMilio.
DeMilio is a regular on the Bob
and Tom Show. He will bring
his Italian-American style to
Milano Caf, 2383 Elida Road
in Lima, at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are
$15 and those interested should
reserve seats at Milano Caf.
The festival will continue
on Thursday to celebrate Phyl-
lis Diller Day and her birthday.
Kems Restaurant and Lounge
located in the Holiday Inn at
803 South Leonard Avenue in
Lima will host the Wisegals of
Comedy, an all-female comedy
showcase starring comedienne
Carla Goldbusch as Miss Diller
herself. The show is free and
starts at 8 p.m.
Also on Thursday, a wom-
ens expo will be from 6-8 p.m.
with products for women, self
defense classes and more.
A show on Friday was can-
celled due to scheduling con-
icts but the festival will con-
tinue on Saturday, July 19, with
an open mic night at Gilberts
Music, 1206 West Robb Av-
enue in Lima, starting at 5 p.m.
Anyone wanting to try out their
stand-up comedy skills can sign
up and have a chance to be in-
cluded in an upcoming local
comedy album.
Visit www.limalandcomedy.
com for more details on each
event and how to sign up for the
open mic night.

DILLER
(From page A3)
The popularity of Nashville Crush is phe-
nomenal in this area and we hope they draw a
signicant crowd, Lee said.
The evening will conclude with a perfor-
mance by Scotty Brachter, a blues artist from
Middletown, Ohio.
Scotty was here three years ago, but his per-
formance was cut short due to stormy weather
and we wanted to get him back here and give
him an opportunity to do his full show.
Other events on Saturday at Rib Fest include
the annual Youth Wifeball and Corn Hole tour-
naments. Registration forms for these events can
be obtained at the CVB ofce at 136 E. Main
St. or online at www.vanwertribfest.com. The
deadline for the Wifeball Tournament is Aug. 4,
while corn holers may either enter early or same-
day registration will also be accepted.
We are pleased to be working with the Unit-
ed Way of Van Wert County in a fund-raising
project called When Pigs Fly, Lee commented.
For a $10 donation you can buy a plastic pig
which will be dropped along with up to 499 oth-
ers over an open spot at the Rib Fest. A pig-pen
will be marked on the ground. The owner of
the pig landing closest to the pen will receive
$650, the second closest will get $350 and the
pig landing the farthest away from the pig pen
will earn $250 for its owner.
What a fun way to support this vital local
agency, he said.
Pigs (tickets) may be purchased from any
United Way Board member at the United Way
Ofce at 1151 Westwood Drive or at the Rib Fest.
We are also happy to have the YWCA of
Van Wert County with us, Lee said. They will
be sponsoring Pig Races at this years Rib Fest.
Last year was the rst time for the pig races and
they were a big hit.
The YWCA will use the proceeds of the pig
races to help support their transitional living
program and domestic violence services.
Babes Out on Bikes, a local female motorcy-
cle group, will host a Poker Run departing from
the Rib Fest at noon Aug. 9. The money raised
from the run will be used to help local breast
cancer victims.
We are really excited about all the things hap-
pening at this years Rib Fest, Lee said. Each
year we try to make the event better than it was
the year before. With all the great support from
the community, with the great line-up of enter-
tainment added to the great food brought by our
vendors, and all the fun activities taking place, we
believe well have the best rib fest to date.
We are very excited to welcome the Van
Wert High School Class of 1979, the Crestview
Class of 1979 and the Antwerp High School
Class of 2004 to the Rib Fest, Lee said.
These classes are having their class reunions
at Rib Fest.
Admission price for this years event is $5
per person on Aug. 8, $2 on Aug. 9 before 7
p.m. and $5 after 7 p.m. Children under 12 will
be admitted free both days.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, July 12 & Sunday, July 13, 2014 A5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
It was a media circus.
And that was before the newspa-
pers labeled it The Monkey Trial.
John Thomas Scopes was the high
school football coach and a substitute
teacher at the Rhea County High School
in Dayton, Tennessee, in 1925. He was
only a year removed from his graduation
from the University of Kentucky and
was looking for a place to settle down.
Meanwhile, nearly 70 years had
passed since Charles Darwin had pub-
lished The Origin of Species but
some states were still attempting to hold
back the teachings of evolution. In fact,
Tennessee had passed a law, called the
Butler Act, earlier in 1925 making it il-
legal to teach evolution in high schools.
In response, the American Civil Lib-
erties Union said it would pay for the
defense of any teacher in the state who
was willing to go to trial over the law.
This caused a lot of discussion in
Dayton. One day a group of business-
men stopped Scopes in the corner
drugstore and asked him to challenge
the Butler Act by teaching evolution.
They could have cared less about the
outcome but saw the situation as a way
to put the little city on the map and
bring tourists into town for the trial.
For his part, Scopes saw the inequity
in the law for teachers. The state educa-
tion department had approved science
books containing a chapter on evolution
required for use by high school teach-
ers. Yet, teaching the chapter would put
teachers in violation of the Butler Act. It
was impossible for science teachers to
not break the law. He agreed to help the
businessmen by becoming the test case.
The ACLU brought in the world
famous trial lawyer, Clarence Darrow,
from Chicago for Scopes defense.
Across the courtroom aisle was Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan, a three-time
Democratic presidential candidate,
former Secretary of State under the
Woodrow Wilson administration,
and a multi-term member of the U.S.
House of Representatives.
Scopes trial pits Darrow against Bryan in evolutionary battle
Dayton, Tenn., July 11 - The
forces of religion, that rallied to
help John Thomas Scopes defend
himself on a charge of violating the
anti-evolution law, held a material
advantage today.
A jury of fundamentalists and a
new indictment, freed of technical
aws, were the trophies hung at the
prosecutions door. To the defense
was given one boon, a much-sought
forty-eight hour delay, due to ad-
journment of the trial until Monday.
This respite ended, two of the
most important battles of the trial
will be fought. This afternoon
wizards of the law will occupy the
stage to thresh out a defense motion
for dismissal of the whole case on
constitutional grounds. In the af-
ternoon, orators step into the spot
light to debate its religious issues.
The battle lawyers will wage around
the constitutional guarantees of
personal liberty, religious freedom
and property rights. It will be heavy
with statutory law, legal precedents
and constitutional rights. The pros-
ecution has predicted defeat of the
motion, the defense has little hope
of success. But whatever the deci-
sion this slim technicality will some
day carry the case into the highest
tribunal of the land.
The forensic battle will revolve
around a simple announcement of
defense witnesses. It will unleash
two of the greatest orators of the day
- Clarence Darrow, world famed ag-
nostic and William Jennings Bryan,
leader of American fundamentalists
- in a dramatic clash over evolution
and the Bible. It may range over sev-
eral days before the air is cleared.
To Darrow will fall the duty rst
of informing the court just what sci-
entic experts have been summoned
at witness for the defense. Then, he
will be permitted to explain what he
hopes to prove by them, namely that
evolution does not conict with the
story of the Divine Creation of man.
Darrow will launch what he terms
his ght to save civilization from the
encroachment of religious fanatics.
To Bryan will be given the prin-
cipal task of replying and of ghting
the admission of such evidence. It
will be the States contention that the
issue here is solely whether Scopes
taught biology and whether his par-
ticular teaching of biology violates
the Tennessee law. The prosecution
will hold that the duty of deciding
whether the Scopes biology lesson
denied the Bible story of Creation,
rests only with the jury and that
scientists have no place in the court
room. Under this latitude Bryan will
begin what he terms his ght to save
christianity from the organized as-
sault of non-believers.

This week in 1989, Housing Secretary Jack
Kemp told a House Government Operations
subcommittee that abuses and mismanagement
within the Department of Housing and Urban
Development had been halted but he agreed
the costs of rectifying the mess would reach at
least $2 billion. Kemp was named director to
clean up a HUD department that was accused
of allowing politicians to use connections to
obtain project funding for their districts and to
locate the theft of over $20 million of stolen
money, allegedly for the sale of HUD property
in which the sales agents kept the funds.
A special attraction for children at the Del-
phos Area Car Club show was a group of life-
size Disney characters. The Disney characters,
including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse,
Donald Duck, Goofy, and more, were pres-
ent at Fridays Cruise-In Nite as well as at the
show Saturday. Donning the costumes were
Sheila Metzger, Paul Korte, Jill Siegel, Jenny
Bensman and Mandy Korte.
Van Wert High School Principal Wal-
lace Grimm proposed to the school board the
creation of Saturday School as an alternative
disciplinary action for students. Noting that
several other school districts around the state
of Ohio had already adopted the plan, Grimm
noted that the two disciplinary actions he had
currently for severe cases - suspension or ex-
pulsion - did not always t the issue nor prove
helpful with habitual offenders. He also said
that detention appeared to no longer be consid-
ered an inconvenience by students and was
losing its usefulness.
50 Years Ago
This week in 1964, with parts of southern
states exploding with racial tensions, the vio-
lence made its way north to Hamilton, Ohio,
near Cincinnati. After a group of black teenag-
ers attempted to buy beer at a Hamilton cafe
and were turned away because they did not
have proof of their ages, the youths harassed
the approximately 20 diners before they left
and returned with more friends. At that time
they began throwing rocks through the win-
dows of the cafe. This was the rst reported ra-
cial violence in the city in more than 20 years.
Del-Otto Club met Thursday at the home
of Mildred Wanamaker with cards forming

Backus received the traveling prize. In August,
the club was slated to meet at the home of Rose
Allemeier.

The 100th anniversary of the War to end all wars
It all began with a single
shot. Nearly 100 years ago on
July 28, 1914, Serbian Gavrilo
Princip assassinated Arch-
duke Franz Ferdinand, heir to
the throne of the Austro-Hun-
garian Empire on a back street
in Sarajevo. Austro-Hungar-
ian demands of Serbia were
refused and their subsequent
invasion of Serbia started a
domino effect between al-
lies on both sides that quickly
drew all of Europe into war.
While Europe suffered
through a horric and bloody
stalemate, the United States
maintained a strict non-inter-
ventionist policy. While not
actively participating in the
War, the United States was an
important supplier to the Unit-
ed Kingdom and other Allies.
In 1917, Germany, in an effort
to turn the tide of the war, de-
clared unrestricted submarine
warfare. They hoped to dis-
rupt supply lines to England
and starve them out of the war
before United States, angered
by attacks on American ships,
joined the war. However, Eng-
land held out and the United
States, furious over hostile
acts by Germany, declared
war on Germany on April 6,
1917.
When war was declared on
April 6, the United States had
a small, ill-equipped army
but a draft was implemented
and soon nearly three million
new soldiers swelled the ranks
of the American military.
Back home in Delphos, the
local boys ocked to recruit-
ing stations to join the ght.
Those who passed their physi-
cal were soon off to camp to
train, some leaving from the
Delphos train station. Camp
Sherman in Chillicothe was
one of the largest military
training camps in the nation
and trained more than 40,000
soldiers before the war ended.

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-
Busting Material Into Miracle Socks
for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
PAD ADVERTSEMENT
What part of your swollen, tired,
or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circula-
tion, injury, swelling or any condi-
tion that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boost-
ing sock, called Bambusa
TM
.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a Bambusa
TM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in con-
tact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help re-
vitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the ma-
terial provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, ath-
letes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fa-
tigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were pho-
tographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemus-
cle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.
Doctor
Recommended
Pain specialist
of 30 years, Dr.
Jahner comments
on the 3D-weave
technology. In-
frared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circula-
tory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed re-
covery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cel-
lular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and rec-
ommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exag-
geration the relief was almost in-
stantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
Bambusa
TM
socks are not a med-
ical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negative-
anion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
Bambusa
TM
socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. Bam-
busa
TM
socks can also bring com-
fort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing indi-
viduals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persist-
ent foot problems for years and no-
ticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had pain-
free feet - UNTILNOW!
I went out on the golf course
for 18 holes of golf, and when I got
home my feet werent swollen,
they werent sweating and my feet
didnt hurt, says Lou B. from New
York.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo in-
crease blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature
due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved com-
fort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.

In the Commissioners
ofce, we hear complaints
daily about this or that gov-
ernment ofce. We also hear
complaints daily from this
or that government ofce.
If you are looking for a job
where you are constantly
bombarded with praise and
good news, this aint it.
One of the few govern-
ment-sponsored programs
maybe the only one with
virtually universal support
is 4-H. (And by saying that, I
am guaranteed messages on
my phone by Tuesday tell-
ing me whats horrible about
4-H.)
4-H is Ohio State Ex-
tensions premier program.
Largely identied by its live-
stock shows, it also promotes
youth studies in computers,
cooking, public speaking
- something for just about
everyone who wants to be
involved in learning outside
the classroom.
OSU Extension promotes
our local 4-H through its ag-
ricultural ofces out at the
Fairgrounds. This ofce is
taxpayer supported through
a levy that generates about
$200,000 annually. Exten-
sions economic development
ofce has separate funding.
Extension recently ap-
proached us about putting
this levy on the ballot for
renewal it is up at the end
of next year. County Com-
missioners, pursuant to Ohio
Revised Code, have to ap-
prove the levy before it can
be voted up or down by the
electorate, meaning we have
the only opportunity to re-
quest specic changes. You
will get a simple yes or no
option in the voting booth.
Outside of 4-H, there are
other Extension programs
supported by this levy. Be-
fore putting it up for renew-
al, we have some questions
about the programs that
arent 4-H.

To the editor,
The Holiday at Home Committee
would like to thank all the people who
attended all the festivities on the 4th of
July. The pancakes breakfast helped to
get us started. The parade was one of
the largest we have ever had and that, of
course, is due to the people who partici-
pate and those that come out to watch.
The weather was the best we have had
in years. We greatly appreciate each and
every one that participated or attended.
Without each of you we would be noth-
ing. The concert in the park was awe-
some with the added extras this year
and really helped with our patriotic spirit
of which Van Wert is greatly blessed.
Even though we were a little late getting
started with the reworks (we wondered
too what was going on) they turned out to
be great. A huge thank you to each and
every one of the nancial contributors
who helped to make it possible.
Also, a thank you to the Mazurs
who provided music that helped set the
mood. Again thanks to each and every
person that made the 4th of July an awe-
some event in Van Wert.

America is a great nation in the world

from Austria and settled in Massachu-
setts. They did it legally and became
American citizens.

Television has always com-
manded attention. If you are in
a living room with a group of
people and the set is on, peo-
ple will naturally keep their
eyes on the program, even if it
is something stupid. Humans
are attracted to things in mo-
tion and for that reason, televi-
sion commands attention. But
television has taken its lumps
more recently. There are so
many channels, programmers
try extra hard to call attention
to their offerings.
It seems that a few pro-
grammers have discovered
that people are interested in
naked people. It started with
a show called Naked and
Afraid on one of those chan-
nels most people skip past. If
youve missed this classic se-
ries, two persons one male,
one female are dropped
into some exotic, untamed
jungle or desert or swamp or
uncomfortable locale and told
how to get out.
The catch is, the man and
woman are naked. Yup. As a
jaybird. And a camera crew
follows them around, show-
ing what they have to do to
nd shelter, stay warm, and
get food. Viewers are treated
to a survival show, with the
added nudity. Now most of
the nudity is blurred out, ex-
cept when the contestants are
facing away from the camera.
There are cheeks everywhere.
And that certainly catches
a persons eye when you are
scanning the channels looking
for Jeopardy! or reruns of The
Big Bang Theory.
So, Naked and Afraid
started gaining a lot of atten-
tion, and other television pro-
ducers decided they wanted to
draw in trafc the same way.
So last weekend, I stumbled
across Selling Naked which
is one of those house-buying
shows where the customer
has to choose between three
houses to buy. This version
is the same basic idea real
estate agents are trying to sell
houses and condos but the
perspective homes are in nud-
ist communities.
That means a lot of na-
ked people walking around,
gardening, etc., while some
agent is trying to point out
the new shingles on the roof
or the delicate trim around
the window boxes. The same
rules apply to Selling Na-
ked also, so lots of blurred
parts of people and lots of
standing behind things.

Local resident speaks

Holiday at Home
Committee says
thank you
I pretty much plowed through high
school paying little attention to anything
except what I was focused on. I know
this is shocking coming from a teenager.
However, I still hold a special place in my
heart for band. Yes, I was a band geek
and given the opportunity, I would prob-
ably be one now, too.
My sister played in the band and I can
remember her bringing her instrument
home and practicing and at the time, I
wanted to do everything my sister did.
Im sure she was thrilled most of the
time. So when the clarinet came home
with me in the fth grade, I dont think
anyone was surprised. Well, maybe the
dog. There was quite a bit of howling and
ducking for cover until I stopped squeak-
ing and squawking.
I love music of all kinds and I really
enjoyed learning to play my humble wind
instrument. There was quite a feeling of
accomplishment when I could play my
scales and that rst simple song correctly.
A few sighs of relief were also heard Im
sure and the dog emerged from under the
couch.
Throughout middle school, I honed
my talents on the woodwind and enjoyed
the accolades after concerts. Then came
eighth-grade year and on Memorial Day,
we marched with the high school band
in the parade, as was tradition. My class-
mates and I thought we were the shizzle.
We had hit the big time hanging out with
the older band kids.
Once I got to high school and march-
ing band started, I had to lay aside my
clarinet and pick up a brass instrument.
One of my BFFs played the trombone so
the trombone it was. Dont tell Mr. (Mi-
chael) Wark, but I never learned to read
the music for my new brass instrument; I
just penciled in the positions.
And then I fell in love! Marching band
was awesome. Playing on the stage at the
middle school was awesome but this was
something bigger - something better -
something amazing. We represented our
school on the football eld and beyond.
I n
1979, the
Jefferson
Marching
Band was
all brass.
We were
loud and
p r o u d
and kicked butt and took names. People
knew when they faced us in competition
they better bring their A game because
we were good - really good. Many of the
trophies that line the back of the band
room at the high school were won with a
little help from me.
Mr. Wark was the driving force be-
hind it all. His philosophy was to never
accept mediocre and get everyone up to
their full potential. Sometimes he was
the only one who saw the potential at the
beginning. He had a knack for getting out
of us more than we even knew we had.
OTHER HAND/A7
We were part of something great
You will forgive former Internal Revenue Service division
director Lois Lerner if she thinks this has not been the best
week of her life.
As the investigation continues into whether or not the IRS
under her supervision delayed or improperly denied the non-
prot designations for political opponents of the Obama ad-
ministration, the disappearance of emails from Lerners ac-
count, as well as seven other highly placed employees of the
IRS, grabbed headlines again. Earlier this week a series of
emails in early 2013 from Lerner to the director of Business
Systems Planning for Tax Exempt and Government Entities,
Maria Hooke, were released. In these emails, written after she
learned the Inspector General was about to release a report say-
ing the agency had been targeting conservative groups, Lerner
said she was cautioning employees to be careful what they say
in emails because Congress can request copies and then asked
if messages in the internal delivery system were searchable.
Hooke responded by saying saving the messages was not the
default in the system, however, individual users could save
them at any time. She then went on to say she recommended
the internal messages be treated the same as emails in regards
to subpoena searches.
Lerners one-word response which her opponents have
pointed to as dripping with sarcasm: Perfect.
Then on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan
gave the IRS 30 days to le a declaration by an appropriate of-
cial, presumably IRS head John Koskinen, to address the lost
emails and subsequent recycling of Lerners computer against
federal law. That court order came as part of a lawsuit resulting
from the alleged illegal activity.
On Friday, a second federal court weighed in on the matter
when U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton ordered Obama
administration lawyers to supply an afdavit explaining ex-
actly what happened to Lerners hard drive. Again, this court
order was a part of the IRS allegedly failing to abide by federal
law for public records storage.
On Friday afternoon, the nal shoe - or in this case cowboy
boot - fell when Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Tex.) led a resolution
directing the House of Representatives sergeant-at-arms to ar-
rest Lerner on Contempt of Congress charges.
There may not have been this much interest in a person after
leaving their post in Washington D.C. since Richard Nixon re-
tired from the presidency. Of course, President Obama may
be happy with this turn of events as it took the headlines away
from the illegal immigration crisis on the border and his po-
tential lawsuit by the House for his allegedly acting outside the
constraints of the U.S. Constitution.
We do not know if Lerner was such an atrocious director she
had no idea what was happening in the ranks of the IRS, if she
was acting of her own volition to help candidates of her own
political persuasion, or if she received orders from higher up
in the administration to see conservative groups were slowed
down. We may never know. However, if Lerner is not guilty of
what is being insinuated, then she is doing the best impression
of a criminal we have ever seen. Ten days after she receives a
letter about the initial investigation, her computer crashes and
is destroyed. Twelve days after she receives a letter about the IG
ndings, she warns some IRS employees not to say anything
in emails and asks if the internal messaging service is search-
able by Congress for subpoenas. She appears to be trying to
make herself the photo mascot for the denition of government
cover-up.
This is very simple. American citizens must be able to trust
the government - local, state, or federal - that its employees will
follow the law. And if government employees - from either side
of the political aisle - are caught breaking the law, Americans
must be able to trust the criminals will be punished. Because if
the citizens ever believe the government has fallen completely
into lawless anarchy, then the U.S. has just begun to see its own
troubles.

WASHINGTON About
that stunning defeat.
Conventional Wisdom, that
self-righteous propagandist,
has it that Republican House
Majority Leader Eric Cantors
trouncing by an academic,
tea-sipping nobody marks the
end of the GOP establishment.
The tea party candidate
crushed Cantor, they say. The
old-guard Republican Party is
toast! Its over. Finito.
And those were the Demo-
crats talking.
Funny thing is, the tea par-
ty folks had been saying more
or less the same thing, for
exactly the same reason. It t
the narrative that served both
groups. The tea party was
losing its power to overthrow
the titans. Witness the pri-
mary victories of a couple of
old-timer targets, South Caro-
linas Lindsey Graham and
Kentuckys Mitch McConnell.
The Democratic Party was
losing its narrative that the tea
party wacko-birds control the
GOP.
Thus, Dave Brat, the Re-
publican nominee for Cantors
seat, was a gift from Google.
Or God. But I repeat myself.
The narrative is back, baby!
In the nations capital, the
mourning for Cantor was over
faster than a Rick Perry gay
fundraiser. It is an awesome
day or something when
Nancy Pelosi and Ted Cruz
are grinning about the same
state of affairs. You dont
know whether to signal Scotty
to beam you up or whistle for
Toto.
The truth is, the tea party
will be lucky to oust Missis-
sippi Sen. Thad Cochran in
a primary runoff, though it
would hardly be considered
a rout. Cochran has been on
the run lately, stumbling over
a series of errors and literally
dashing out the back door of
one event to evade CNNs
Dana Bash.
And, as though the South
needed one more anecdote to
convince the rest of nation that
something seriously strange
has contaminated the regions
DNA, Cochran recently remi-
nisced fondly of his days do-
ing all kinds of indecent
things with animals, when he
was just a young lad visiting
the states Pine Belt.
I know some of you know
what that is, he told the Hat-
tiesburg, Miss., audience.
Oh, do tell. On second
thought, oh, dont.
Two victories, assuming
the second, hardly bestow
bragging rights on the tea par-
ty. Nor, consequently, would
they bolster the Democratic
narrative that the tea party has
conquered the GOP.
Also, lets not forget, Can-
tor wasnt an old establish-
ment guy. He was one of the
Young Guns, the title of
the book in which he, Kevin
McCarthy and Paul Ryan fea-
tured themselves as the new
generation of conservative
leadership. Those are some
highfalutin words to live up to.
Reality check: People who
self-identify as young guns
are setting themselves up to
get shot down. It isnt that they
cant gun-sling with the best
of them; its that they feel the
need to tell you they can.
Young gun, eh? Well see
about that.
Indeed, the tea party didnt
really support the Republican
Brat (how delicious is that
name?), who raised a measly
$231,000 to Cantors $5.7 mil-
lion. Conservative, tea-party-
leaning Republicans ultimate-
ly may have supported him, in
part thanks to talk radio pro-
moters, but they werent ex-
pecting Brat to win any more
than he was.
Brat, an economics profes-
sor at Randolph-Macon Col-
lege, was so surprised that he
has yet to think out his plat-
form. Other than water-cooler
talks at the gym about ethical
systems, free markets and the
rule of law (read, no amnes-
ty), he hasnt really nailed
down his policy positions.
So MSNBCs Chuck Todd
discovered upon asking Brat
on Wednesday about raising
the minimum wage. Sort of
breezy with his answer, saying
he didnt have a well-crafted
response, and you cant
make up wage rates, Brat
explained that he didnt get
much sleep the night before.
Poor Zachary Werrell,
Brats 23-year-old campaign
manager, who was so over-
whelmed that he couldnt nd
time to return a call to House
Speaker John Boehner and
had to scramble to hire a com-
munications staffer. In the
meantime, Werrell uttered the
saddest words in political his-
tory:
Were not going to be
making any statements until
we get professional PR help,
he said in an interview with
Politico.

The Eagle River Airport is a valuable asset for
the greater Vilas County area. The daily airplane
trafc and the number of hangars you nd on the
grounds tells us of its importance
to the areas economy.
The following 20 rules for
ight actually came from peo-
ple at the Tomahawk Regional
Airport. Id guess anyone with a
pilots license has seen this list
and can attest to their validity.
1. Every takeoff is optional.
Every landing is mandatory.
2. If you push the stick for-
ward, the houses get bigger. If
you pull the stick back, they get smaller. That
is, unless you keep pulling the stick all the way
back, then they get bigger again.
3. Flying is not dangerous. Crashing is
whats dangerous.
4. Its always better to be down here wishing
you were up there rather than up there wishing
you were down here.
5. The only time you can have too much fuel
is when youre on re.
6. The propeller is just a big fan in front of the
plane which is used to keep the pilot cool. When
it stops you can actually see the pilot sweating.
7. When in doubt hold on to your altitude.
No one has ever collided with the sky.
8. A good landing is one from which you
can walk away. A great landing is one after
which you can use the plane again.
9. Learn from the mistakes of others. You
wont live long enough to make all of them
yourself.
10. You know youve landed with the wheels
up if it takes full power to taxi to the ramp.
11. The probability of survival is inversely
proportional to the angle of arrival. Large an-
gle of arrival, small likelihood of survival, and
vice versa.
12. Stay out of clouds. The silver lining ev-
eryone keeps talking about might be another
airplane going in the opposite direction. Reli-
able sources also report that mountains tend to
hide out in clouds.
13. Always try to keep the number of land-
ings you make equal to the number of takeoffs
youve made.
14. You start out with a bag full
of luck and an empty bag of expe-
rience. The trick is to ll the bag
with experience before you empty
the bag of luck.
15. Helicopters cant actually
y. Theyre just so darned ugly
that the earth repels them.
16. Its always a good idea to
keep the pointy end going for-
ward as much as possible.
17. Keep looking around. Theres always
something youve missed. Why are there no
parachutes or otation vests?
18. There are three simple rules for mak-
ing a smooth landing. Unfortunately, no one
knows what they are!
19. In the ongoing battle between objects
made of aluminum going hundreds of miles an
hour and the ground going zero miles an hour,
the ground has yet to lose.
20. Remember, gravity is not just a good
idea. Its the law.
*****
I didnt know this but a friend assures me
there are perks associated with reaching 50, or
being over 60 and heading towards 70. Here
are a few of those perks.
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in
you. In a hostage situation, you are likely to be
released rst.
2. No one expects you to run anywhere.
3. People call at 9 p.m. and ask, did I wake
you? Shoot, I rarely make it through the 6
oclock news.
4. People no longer view you as a hypo-
chondriac. That makes me depressed.
5. There is nothing left to learn the hard
way. I think Ive surfed the entire Internet.
6. Things you buy now wont wear out.

Then earlier this week I read about another
network with a show soon to debut. Its called
Dating Naked, and Im sure youve guessed
the plot already. Now, not much would have
made my dating life more awkward than be-
ing a contestant on this show. But thats not the
point. The point is, how many people are there
who want to appear naked on nationwide tele-
vision? And how much of them do we really
have to look at?
Believe it or not, there is a limit to what can
be shown before many people would rather
turn the channel. While the rst two of these
shows have apparently agreed to blur every-
thing on the front half of bodies, will the next
show continue?
Already in Europe, there are shows on the
air that do not blur anything at all. While that
sounds like a teenage boys dream, its hardly
necessary. Its usually not desirable either. If
youll pardon the expression, the naked truth is
that clothing is a good idea.
Part of what makes Naked and Afraid
so fascinating is that you start to wonder what
additional injury will be inicted on them be-
cause they wear no protection. I really dont
want any part of hearing someone walk naked
through a briar patch or sit down wrong on a
pile of sticks. And I dont need to know about
all the insect bites and sunburn issues.
Just put on some clothes and show us how
well you can catch a trout with your shoestring.
Thatll do just ne. Better yet, if were down to
nudity to get people to watch television, maybe
weve already voted to ship the television sets
off our little Survivor island.
When there are 13,000 channels in need
of programming, were going to hit bottom in
quality programming. It appears we may have
hit bottom already.

(From page A6)
When you were in Mr.
Warks band, you were his.
We all knew there would
be no bullying, no backbit-
ing, no singling someone out
for ridicule. He told us if we
couldnt depend on each other,
we couldnt depend on anyone
and we embraced and defend-
ed each other ercely - in band
and out. We were Mr. Warks
kids.
In Mondays story of the
send off of our beloved musi-
cal and life mentor, Heather
Osting said it best: He was a
drill sergeant and a teddy bear
all at the same time. You want-
ed to hug him but you were a
little scared. Hes the reason it
was cool to be in band.
At the beginning of the
march from the high school
to the Warks home last Sat-
urday, I felt like I never left
the Best Damn Band in the
Land. When the attention
whistle blew, the years, all
31 of them, melted away. The
cadence began and we might
as well have been marching to
the stadium to present our half
time show and support the
mighty Wildcat football team.
I slipped out of the lines
and sneaked to the Warks
home so I could take a picture
of the band arriving. As
they got closer to the Warks
street, the cadence went to
the rhythmic click of drum
sticks on rims and when they
turned the corner, BAM! The
cadence picked up and Oooh,
Angowa, Got that Wildcat
Power! bounced off neigh-
boring homes as they neared
the Warks. It gave me chills.
You know when you have been
part of something special.
Weve all moved on with
a few band alumni choosing
a musical career. Most chose
other elds but still remem-
ber being Mr. Warks kids,
the Best Damn Band in the
Land and all it entailed.
Once a band geek, always a
band geek!

Van Wert
LETTERS
(From page A6)
My fellow Commissioners are from the
agricultural community. They polled a small
sampling of people only to discover what we
already suspected - that Extensions role as
disseminator of information to the farming
community has diminished with the rise of
technology. The role of the Extension Agent
has been largely replaced by Google and
various local reps from within the ag indus-
try.
4-H is still viewed as the indispensable
Extension program. With this in mind, we
have requested that the levy be redesigned to
strengthen 4-H locally and perhaps cut un-
necessary programs. It is also a concern that
since we nance Extension more than our
neighbors, that Van Wert County taxpayers
are being burdened with providing services
to the entire region while other counties
skate.
If there is a perceived need for other Ex-
tension programs besides 4-H, we havent
heard it yet feel free to contact us. As of
now, its our inclination to request that the
4-H program be more heavily funded and
the others less so. Much less so, perhaps.
If we were to put the same levy up for re-
newal, that would be handing $200,000 to
OSU Extension to spend as it sees t. It has
been a focus of our ofce to make sure that
if an outside agency is receiving local fund-
ing it has accountability to local taxpayers.
Common sense, you say? That simple prem-
ise has led to exhaustive objection.
But we are at a point where we can turn
a corner with Extension generally. A new
regional director started last month, Cyn-
thia Torppa. In our few communications
with her, she seems committed to tailor all
branches of OSU Extension to the needs of
our community. This is in contrast of the
past regional director who seemed deter-
mined to tailor all our needs to t the goals
of Extension.
A key to good scal conservatism is cut-
ting unnecessary programs when you dont
have to. The levy as is doesnt cost the in-
dividual taxpayer a big pile of cash, but it
costs the county as a whole one such pile. If
the levy is halved, $100,000 is immediately
put back into the hands of Van Wert County
taxpayers. If we can work with Extension on
such a levy that still strengthens 4-H, then
thats what we intend to give to voters in-
stead of a mindless renewal.

The talk in Van Wert was all about the Jaycees and their
agreement to host a preliminary contest for the Miss America
pageant. There were no details yet on where the contest would
be held.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, two court psychiatrists declared Frank
Dolezal sane to stand trial. Dolezal had confessed to behead-
ing one woman and also murdering 12 others in a Cleveland
killing spree that had earned him the nickname of the Torso
Murderer.
Four members of the 1939 graduating class of St. Johns
High School enrolled in the School of Nursing at St. Ritas
Hospital in Lima. They were Doris Young, daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. F. A. Young; Catherine Gasser, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Oliver Gasser; Kathryn Odenweller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Arnold Odenweller; and Margaret Stallkamp, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Otto Stallkamp, Jr.
Bids for road projects were slated to be opened on July 28,
including the improvements planned for a three-mile stretch
of U.S. 127 proceeding south from the Van Wert-Paulding
County line. The resurfacing project was expected to cost
$37,000 and employ 50 men. A completion date of October
31 was also set.
EVOLUTION
(From page A5)
Darrow chose to argue there was no
conict with teaching evolution since
it was never stated it was not God who
guided the evolutionary path. The erudite
Bryan referred to the trial as a duel to the
death pitting religious zealots against
the advancement of scientic knowledge.
As expected, the real trial was the swirl-
ing personalities of the two larger-than-
life gures at the helm of the arguments.
During the seven days of the trial,
the jury was not present for most of the
time. The judge, John T. Raulston, had
them held in the jury room out of earshot
while Darrow and Bryan argued over
the relevance of the Bible in the court
proceedings. At one point, after Judge
Raulston had excluded all of Darrows
defense witnesses, Darrow called Bry-
an to the stand as an expert on the Bible,
something he had said the previous day
during questioning and the defense had
not objected to at the time. The judge al-
lowed two hours of questions before he
called a halt, stating this line of defense
would not be allowed in front of the jury
either. As both sides had already realized
the case would ultimately be decided at
a higher level anyway, an exasperated
Darrow asked the judge to allow the jury
into the courtroom just to deliver a guilty
verdict so the process could move into
the appeals court. Darrow even refused
to deliver a summation to the jury, which
by Tennessee law precluded Bryan from
doing the same.
After eight days of trial, the jury took
nine minutes to deliver a guilty verdict.
Scopes was ned $100 by Raulston.
During the appeal process, Scopes at-
torneys argued the Butler Act infringed
upon his constitutional right of free speech
and broke the Tennessee constitution by
establishing Christianity as the state reli-
gion, something that was forbidden.
In the end, the conviction was over-
turned on a technicality. Scopes ne
should have been set by the jury since
Tennessee judges could only ne up to
$50 by statute. Meanwhile, the Butler
Act stayed in force until it was repealed
in 1967.
As for the businessmen, they had been
correct about the outcome for Dayton.
Hundreds of reporters ocked to the
town and was the rst trial ever broad-
cast by radio. The courthouse street was
lled with vendors selling sandwiches,
fruit, monkey toys, and books on biology.
Several evangelists erected tent revivals
around town.
As for the players involved, Scopes
received a scholarship to attend graduate
school at the University of Chicago. Dar-
row went on to argue in the appeals and
handle other high-prole cases. As for
Bryan, he did not have time to overcome
what he termed the public embarrass-
ment of the trial. He died in his sleep
ve days after the verdict was delivered.
Here now is a reprint of the July 11,
1925, Van Wert Daily Bulletin article de-
tailing the beginning of the Scopes Mon-
key Trial the day before.

These two clashes will de-
cide not only the length of the
trial but which side will appeal
to the United States supreme
court and whether scientists
shall be permitted to enter the
legal battle of the century.
In the opening encounter,
the drift of the tide to the State
was while selecting a jury, the
State used but one peremptory
challenge, and passed many
without even an examination.
The defense used all three
allotted challenges, could
have used a hundred more
and questioned each juror at
length. The prosecutor smiles
broadly over the completed
jury, the defense attorneys
looked glum.
The new indictment, re-
turned in stronger terms than
the rst one, smashed points
in the defense constitutional
case. The original indictment
could have been attacked
at any time by a grand jury
convened within the required
sixty days. The errors were
rectied by the re-indictment.

Local folks could keep track of their
boys in the military through a poster
displayed in the window of the Delphos
Hardware Company, today Ace Hard-
ware. The poster listed the names of all
local boys in the army, those from both
Delphos and the surrounding country-
side. The names were marked with a
blue pin to signify they were in the army
and still in the United States. A red pin
meant they were stationed overseas while
a gold star meant they had been killed in
the war. This poster is on display on the
second oor of the Canal Commission
Museum.
While the boys were preparing to
ght, the rest of the country mobilized
to support the war effort. Liberty Bonds
were issued by the government to fund
the war and huge rallies were held to en-
courage citizens to buy these bonds. The
government also issued quotas to com-
munities for Liberty Bonds to encourage
their sale. In October 1917, Delphos be-
came the rst city in the United States to
oversubscribe its quota of Liberty Bonds.
Delphos was issued a quota of $109,000
but within a few days had raised more
than $166,000. The city also raised mon-
ey for the Red Cross through a big auc-
tion. Among the more than 175 items
offered in the auction were: one medical
visit from Dr. Egts, one chicken from Dr.
Mauk, one case of pop from the Delphos
Bottling Works, one Shetland pony from
John Buettner, a sheep from Dr. Wolfe,
one box of cigars from the Phelan Hotel
and $5 worth of dental work from Dr. J.
N. Sadler.
Patriotism for the war effort had its
dark side as well. Anti-German hyste-
ria swept the country and Delphos, de-
spite its heavy German ancestry, was
not spared. In March 1918, several lo-
cal men were alleged to have made pro-
German comments. A small crowd that
had gathered downtown to discuss the
accusations quickly swelled to 300-400.
The crowd, led by prominent Delphos
citizens, marched through town to the
homes of the accused and forced them
into the street to prove their patriotism by
kissing or saluting the ag. Several of the
accused were tipped off about the mob
and ed town, not returning until civility
returned at the urging of Mayor Leasure
two days later.
City businesses also faced accusations
as the Deisel Wemmer Cigar Factory and
The Delphos Herald both took out ad-
vertisements in the local paper denounc-
ing the pro-German accusations against
them and declaring their loyalty to the
United States.
Locally, both city schools ceased Ger-
man language classes, German Township
in Allen County was renamed American
Township, German books were burned
in Ottawa and the Schumm School near
Willshire was dynamited for continuing
to teach the German language. Those who
it was felt had not bought enough Liberty
Bonds were labeled slackers and had
their barns or cars painted yellow.
On April 6, 1918, Liberty Day was
declared to commemorate the rst an-
niversary of the United States entry
into the war. A huge parade was held in
downtown Delphos led by Thomas Nor-
ris dressed as Uncle Sam. Mothers of all
Delphos soldiers were invited to ride in
motor cars provided by local citizens.
The parade, witnessed by thousands,
wound through a downtown awash in
ags and patriotic bunting.
The rst troops from the United States
landed in France in June 1917 although
the bulk of American troops did not join
the war until the spring of 1918. The war-
weary troops in Europe welcomed the
boost in manpower and slowly the tide
of the war began to change. Finally, after
more than four long years, the war ended
at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918.
The last two Delphos soldiers to die in
the war were Claude Walterick, who died
of wounds on Oct. 31, 1918, and George
Hemme, who was killed in action on
Nov. 1. Walterick is buried in Flanders
Field in Belgium while Hemme is buried
in St. Johns Cemetery. The Veterans of
Foreign Wars post established in Delphos
in 1935 was named Walterick-Hemme
Post 3035 in commemoration of these
two soldiers.
While the world celebrated the end of
the war and soldiers streamed home by
the thousands, the dying did not stop. A
virulent u virus spread rapidly through-
out the world in the spring and again in
the fall of 1918. An estimated 500 million
were affected worldwide with 20-50 mil-
lion dying from the virus. An estimated
675,000 died in the United States. There
was no cure or treatment for the disease
and it was particularly deadly to young,
healthy people.
In the fall of 1918, the Delphos Board
of Health closed schools, churches, lodge
and club meetings, dances and parties,
saloons, pool rooms, picture shows and
all amusements and public gatherings.
By December, the new reports of infec-
tions had decreased enough that the ban
on public gatherings was lifted. In early
1919, the u continued to claim thou-
sands of lives before essentially disap-
pearing that summer.
ART
(From page A1)
For example, if a child
does not know how to hold a
pencil they grip it in their
hand rather than pinching it be-
tween their ngers we work
on teaching them to hold the
pencil correctly, Rieman said.
AMA also services 10-12
nursing homes and provides
sessions using acrylic and oil
paints, watercolor pencils, and
chalk to people suffering from
strokes, Alzheimers, demen-
tia and blindness.
We break the art form
down to its simplest form and
take the students step-by-step
through the creative process,
Rieman detailed. With stu-
dents who are blind, we pro-
vide them with a verbal visual
describing the colors, shapes
and textures.
She said while working
with students who are blind,
she instructs them to run the
paint brush left to right and
provides a physical barrier
typically her arm so they
do not run off the paper.
The process we use is
very important. By cross-
ing mid-lines of the body, we
teach the right and left sides
of the brain to work together,
Rieman explained. We are
focused on giving all of our
students genuine praise from
the heart.
During one-on-one pro-
gramming, instructors teach
in an intimate setting which
are ideal for therapeutic activ-
ities and condence building.
The sessions focus on sense
of accomplishment, ne mo-
tor skills, anger management,
crossing mid-lines, storytell-
ing, color matching, counting,
education and skill building,
focus & and attention span
and sentence structure by us-
ing different mediums includ-
ing painting and sculpture
classes, art and sensory play,
jewelry making, sketching
and crafts.
Crisp says AMA is a catch-
all program that works with
anybody. She believes art is
a bond among all people and
when it is broken down to its
simplest form, its achievable
for every individual.
We want to silence the in-
ner voice that tells people they
cannot create or that they can-
not contribute, she said. Ev-
eryone has creativity.
Group sessions are a
mixed bag of younger stu-
dents which are geared to in-
tegrate and teach all kinds of
kids to work together and be
aware of each others differ-
ences.
Currently, AMA retains
seven full time employees and
two interns who earn cred-
its towards college and high
school coursework.
Most employees have ei-
ther a degree in Social Work,
Psychology or Art Education,
Crisp said. Or they have the
life experience to give them
the credibility to work in the
special needs eld.
Crisp graduated from Find-
lay University in 2009 with a
degree in Psychology.
I love seeing my dreams
so alive in the staff and know
we all have the same passion
for helping to create artists out
of everyone, she said. The
staff teaches me more every-
day. It truly is a collaboration
of beautiful minds.
AMA receives no govern-
ment funding and relies on
the generosity of private in-
dividuals and businesses to
help fund the programs. The
organizations goal is to raise
$100,000 to support program-
ming and operations.
Many of our programs re-
quire a fee to help cover supply
costs, Crisp explained. All
of our families pay something
to participate in the programs;
however, many of them are
low-income and we try to help
them attend classes as much as
we can.
Crisp said donations will
help pay for supplies and ex-
penses. More importantly, the
contributions will give people
from all walks of life the op-
portunity to enhance their
overall physical, emotional
and mental well-being.

DISPATCHERS
(From page A1)
Eliminating the dispatchers
at the station will save Delphos
nearly $40,000 this year and
approximately $110,000 per
year beginning in 2015. Del-
phos City Council ofcially
approved a separation agree-
ment for dispatchers in June.
The Delphos Police De-
partment lobby is currently
closed to the public with a
call button on the front door.
When the button is pushed, it
will connect the person with
the Allen County Sheriffs
Ofce. Once the nature of the
call is understood, an ofcer
will be called to the station
or the person will be trans-
ferred to a phone tree for the
municipal building, the police
department, or the re de-
partment and asked to leave a
voice mail for the appropriate
person.
There wont be any ac-
cess to the lobby until we get
the two new part-time clerks
trained, Fittro said Friday.
Once we get those people in
the chairs, the lobby will be
open 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
The clerks are being trained
by Shannon Ackerman of the
Allen County Sheriffs Ofce.
Coleman said the target
date to reopen the lobby is

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) A church fu-
neral for a Roman Catholic priest in Ohio
who died while serving a prison sentence
for the 1980 death of a nun proceeded
Friday as a few people protested at the
churchs diocese headquarters.
About 200 mourners attended the fu-
neral at St. Hyacinth Catholic Church in
Toledo for Rev. Gerald Robinson, who
died July 4 in a prison hospice at age 76.
He was buried following the service.
Robinson was convicted in 2006 of
the stabbing and strangling death of Sis-
ter Margaret Ann Pahl at a Toledo hos-
pital where they worked. He was sen-
tenced to 15 years to life in what church
historians have characterized as the only
documented case of a Catholic priest
killing a nun.
At the funeral, priests and deacons sat
at the front of the church and nuns, some
wearing habits, were also in attendance,
The Blade newspaper reported. The
church is where Robinson celebrated his
rst mass as an ordained priest.
Father Robinson for many years
carried a heavy burden. Whether or not
it was a burden of guilt or a burden of a
miscarriage of justice, I do not know, the
Rev. Charles Ritter, diocese administra-
tor, said during the service. We do not
know. Either way, that burden is lifted for
him now.
Two groups including the Survivors
Network of those Abused by Priests
asked the Diocese of Toledo earlier this
week to reverse its decision allowing
the usual protocol for diocesan priests
funerals for Robinson. Friday, a few
people from the organization protested
the decision outside the dioceses head-
quarters.

CLEVELAND (AP) If LeBron James was going
to win another NBA title, heal broken hearts and con-
tinue building his legacy, he knew there was only one
place to go.
To Ohio. Home.
Four years after he left for Miami, a widely criticized
departure that damaged his image and crushed a long-
suffering citys championship hopes, James is coming
back to play for the Cavaliers to try and end Clevelands
half-century title drought. Hes returning to his basket-
ball roots, to the people who know him best to make
good on a promise.
James made the announcement Friday with a pow-
erful essay written for Sports Illustrated. His decision
ended two weeks of speculation with the entire league
waiting on his move.
When he nally made it, Cleveland was his choice
over re-signing with the Heat.
I looked at other teams, but I wasnt going to leave
Miami for anywhere except Cleveland, he said to SI.
The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is
what makes me happy.
James had not yet signed a contract, but he made it
clear he will wear a Cavaliers jersey next season.
When I left Cleveland, I was on a mission, James
said in the SI rst-person story. I was seeking champi-
onships, and we won two. But Miami already knew that
feeling. Our city hasnt had that feeling in a long, long,
long time. My goal is still to win as many titles as pos-
sible, no question. But whats most important for me is
bringing one trophy back to Northeast Ohio.
The talented kid from Akron, now a homecoming
king.
Cleveland is thrilled to have him back. James is the
leagues best all-around player, a four-time MVP who
was dubbed The Chosen One as a cant-miss high
school star who learned the game on the playgrounds
of Akron, about 40 miles from Cleveland. At 6-foot-8,
260 pounds, he can score from all over and is one of the
games best passers and defenders.
Staying in Miami would have been easy. He could
have made another run at a third title and fth straight
NBA nals appearance with close friends Dwyane
Wade and Chris Bosh, the other members of a Big 3
who have been the leagues team-to-hate since 2010.
Instead, James picked the young, unproven Cavs,
with a rookie coach, David Blatt, who spent last year in
Israel. Almost unbelievably, hell again work for owner
Dan Gilbert, who torched James on his way out the door
in 2010.
For Cleveland, a city accustomed to so much sports
heartache as the Cavaliers, Browns and Indians have
come close but failed to win it all news of James
return triggered a spontaneous downtown celebration
during Fridays lunch hours.
Car horns blared and strangers high-ved on the
sidewalks outside Quicken Loans Arena, where James
had so many big moments during his rst seven seasons
as a pro.
Four years ago, some fans burned his jersey. On July
11, 2014, all was forgiven.
The Cavs were considered a longshot when free agen-
cy opened. But as the days went by, Cleveland emerged
as the leader, especially after clearing salary-cap spaces
to offer him a maximum contract. While he was in Las
Vegas earlier this week, James met with Heat president
Pat Riley, the architect who assembled Miamis back-to-
back championship teams.
Riley made a nal pitch, but he had nothing to match
the overwhelming lure of home.
Before anyone ever cared where I would play bas-
ketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio, James told SI.
People there have seen me grow up. I sometimes feel
like Im their son. Their passion can be overwhelming.
But it drives me.
LeBron James returns to Cavaliers: Im coming home

VAN WERT Nineteen youth baseball teams will
descend upon three local parks this weekend as Van Wert
Youth Baseball hosts the Don Bachman Memorial Tourna-
ment once again this year.
Teams from Deance, Lima, New Haven, Ayersville,
Paulding, Delphos, Bryan, Monroe, Decatur and Bath will
compete in a 10-and-under division and a 12-and-under
group with games taking place all day Saturday on the
elds of Jubilee Park, Smiley Park and at Ohio Citys Fire-
mans Park. The tournament kicked off on Friday night
with opening ceremonies, which included a ceremonial rst
pitch delivered by DARE ofcer Greg Blackmore.
This is the ninth year the tournament has been held. It
was created at the urging of Don Bachman before he passed
away from cancer nearly a decade ago.
Rick Bachman, one of four Bachman brothers who have
helped to continue the legacy of their father, spoke during
the opening ceremony on Friday night.
We decided, as we were going through chemotherapy
treatments, Rick explained, that we would help the Van
Wert youth baseball group develop a little league team, and
wed call them the Mastodons, or the Dons for short.
That team, a traveling squad of all-stars, has grown each
year. There are three Dons teams participating in the 2014
Bachman tourney, including two in the 10U division.
The teams are named in honor of the late Don Bachman,
who served the Van Wert community as a coach, ofcial
and referee from 1954 to 2005. As chair of the Van Wert
Parks and Recreation committee, Bachman pushed for the
building of Smiley Park. In 2006, diamond number two at
Smiley Park was renamed Don Bachman Field to honor his
legacy.
The Don Bachman Memorial Tournament is one of
the biggest draws for youth baseball teams in the region.
Thanks to community sponsors and volunteers, all pro-
ceeds, including concessions, t-shirt sales, and entry fees
go directly to the continued development of youth baseball
Van Wert. The Bachman brothers even donate their own
time, serving as umpires throughout the weekend.
The tournament wraps up on Sunday afternoon, with
championship games held at Jubilee Park at 1 p.m. and 3
p.m.

This isnt Brett Favre or Joe
Montana, or any other over-the-
hill star insert your own fa-
vorite here shopping teams
and/or rosters in search of one
last hurrah.
In the NBA, one supremely
talented individual can make
a world of difference. LeBron
James proved as much by car-
rying his team into ve of the
last seven NBA Finals. Whats
going to make this quest for a
championship in Cleveland the
best sports story out there for
some time is that hes commit-
ted to try and tip the balance of
power by himself, if need be,
to pay back all those folks who
nurtured him from the start.
My goal is still to win as
many titles as possible, no ques-
tion. But whats most important
for me is bringing one trophy
back to Northeast Ohio, James
said in a Sports Illustrated rst-
person story published Friday
announcing his decision to re-
turn to the Cavaliers.
I always believed that Id
return to Cleveland and nish my career there. I just didnt know
when, he said.
Had James delayed the announcement much longer, the army
of in-studio analysts and on-scene reporters deployed by every
media outlet on the planet would need catheters to stay on the job.
If nothing else, that part of our long national nightmare is over.
So whats worth saying after everything thats already been said?
Just that the next chapter in James story will turn out to be
worth every penny if not quite every word thats been lav-
ished on him.
Going back home to try and win a championship after what
some of his neighbors put him through takes real guts. Its what
plenty of us wanted James to do the rst time around: Behave like
a real king: Dig in his heels and redouble his effort to patch the
cracks in the foundation of a Cavaliers franchise that spent more
than seven seasons and hundreds of millions trying to build him
a throne.
Thats the way Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and
Kobe Bryant got their championship rings. We even held out hope
at the time that James might give the Cavs a hometown discount,
taking less money than he was worth to free up cap space down
the road, the way Tim Duncan has done more than once.
No disrespect to what James accomplished in Miami: two NBA
titles, two Finals MVPs and two more regular-season MVPs,
among others. But it will be even better when he wins another
one this way.
It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010, he
wrote in SI. My patience will get tested. I know that. Im going
into a situation with a young team and a new coach. I will be the
old head. But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and
helping them reach a place they didnt know they could go.
Parse the entire statement if you want. But everything you need
to know is in those last two sentences.
When James announced the original decision in 2010, no ath-
lete in history ever held so much sway over his sport without win-
ning a title rst. The only thing he could rightly claim to be the
king of was hype, hypocrisy and stacking the deck by lighting
out for South Beach to join superfriends Dwyane Wade and Chris
Bosh.
Hed been trying so hard to please the various constituencies
hed acquired since coming into the league that you wondered
whether James even knew what he really wanted.
But the LBJ who returns four years later is a much different cat.
For all the grief hes caught in the four years since, James has
been a model citizen throughout and he plays hard every night. He
went to Miami four years ago because it would be easier to win a
title. He returns to Cleveland knowing exactly how hard it will be.
If you want to call that maturity, and put that quality at the top of
the list, youll get no argument here.
LBJ out to prove you
can go home again

CINCINNATI (AP) Brayan Pe-
nas pinch-hit single in the eighth in-
ning completed another late rally by the
Reds, who overcame more injuries on
Friday and beat the Pittsburgh Pirates
6-5 to keep their momentum going to-
ward the All-Star break.
Down 5-1 after six innings, the Reds
scored twice with the help of third base-
man Pedro Alvarezs throwing error in
the seventh and added three more in the
eighth. Cincinnati is 7-2 on its 11-game
homestand leading into the break.
Devin Mesoraco homered with two
outs off left-hander Tony Watson (5-1)
in the eighth, and the Reds put togeth-
er four more singles, with RBI hits by
Ramon Santiago and Pena completing
Cincinnatis second big comeback of the
week.
Curtis Partch (1-0), called up earlier
in the day, escaped a bases-loaded threat
in the eighth.
Aroldis Chapman fanned the side in
the ninth for his 20th save in 22 chances.
He has at least one strikeout in his last
40 appearances, passing Bruce Sutter
for the record by a major league reliever
since 1900.
Andrew McCutchen and Pedro Al-
varez homered for a 4-0 lead off Cin-
cinnatis Mat Latos, who left after only
ve innings because of back spasms. It
was the shortest of his six starts since
returning from torn knee cartilage and a
strained pitching forearm.
The Reds have been hit hard by inju-
ries in the past week.
First baseman Joey Votto is on the
DL indenitely with a thigh injury. Sec-
ond baseman Brandon Phillips tore a
ligament in his left thumb and had sur-
gery on Friday. Skip Schumaker was ex-
pected to help ll in at second base, but
he went on the 7-day concussion list.
Starter Homer Bailey slightly
strained his right knee on Thursday, but
is expected to make his next turn. Now,
its Latos who is a question.

Bressler Reservior (582
acres; Allen County) Blue-
gill: can be caught along the
entire shoreline; however,
anglers usually have the best
success at the east end of the
north shore. Walleye: can be
caught along the drop-off all
along the shoreline, or near the
underwater island; try drifting
or trolling worm harnesses or
crankbaits in the morning and
evenings. In addition, the un-
derwater island adjacent to the

southern shoreline has shal-
lower depths to 10 feet which
provide better food production
than the deeper waters of the
reservoir and can serve as a
sh concentration device.
Lake La Su An (82 acres;
Williams County) Bluegill:
Good numbers of Fish Ohio
bluegill are being caught with
some more than 10 inches;
anglers are having the best
success using jigs tipped with
wax worms or redworms.
This shery is intensively
managed to maintain the har-
vest of large bluegill; all area
lakes are open to public sh-
ing Friday-Monday from sun-
rise to sunset until Sept. 29.
There is a limit of 25 per day

power restrictions for boats
during the day but there is a
10-MPH speed limit at night.
Catsh: Shore anglers have
been catching good numbers
of channels on nightcrawlers
shed near the bottom. Crap-
pie: Small twister tails and
tube jigs have been producing
slabs for the cooler.
SOUTHWEST OHIO
Paint Creek Lake (High-
land/Ross counties) Crap-
pie: are hitting along banks
and around downed trees;
anglers should sh in 4-11
feet of water with minnows

Walleye: Fishing has been
good off the Toledo water in-
take and to the east toward
Wards Canal, south of B
can of the Camp Perry ring
range, off Niagara Reef, west
of Rattlesnake Island, north of
North Bass Island and 2 miles
off Cedar Point. Anglers troll-
ing are using worm harnesses
with inline weights, divers or
bottom-bouncers, or spoons
pulled behind divers; anglers
casting are using mayy rigs
or are drifting with bottom-
bouncers and worm harnesses.
Yellow Perch: Fishing is
improving with the best catch-
es coming off Wards Canal,
north of B can of the Camp
Perry ring range, between
Green and Rattlesnake islands
and from Marblehead to Kel-
leys Island. Perch-spreaders
with shiners shed near the
bottom produce the most sh.
Smallmouth Bass: Are be-
ing caught north of Kelleys Is-
land and around Marblehead
on tube jigs, crankbaits or
jerkbaits.
Largemouth bass: Are be-
ing caught in harbors and
bays and along the main lake
shoreline around Catawba us-
ing crankbaits, spinner baits
and soft plastics.
Central Basin
Walleye: Fishing has been
good at the dumping grounds
at Huron, Vermilion and Lo-
rain around the weather buoy
near the Canadian border, in
40-60 feet of water northeast/
northwest of Cleveland and
Wildwood Park, in 4o-72 feet
north-northwest of Ashtabula
and in 65-75 feet north-north-
east of Conneaut using planer
boards, Dipsy and Jet divers
with stick baits and pink and
green spoons.
Yellow Perch: Anglers are
catching some off the condos
east of Vermilion, off Beaver
Creek, in 30-40 feet of wa-
ter northeast of Cleveland,
north of Wildwood Park and
Ashtabula and in 35-48 feet
north-northeast of Conneaut.
Shore shing has been spotty
off the East 55th and East
72nd streets piers in Cleveland
and at the long pier off Mentor
Headlands; perch-spreaders
with shiners shed near the
bottom produce the most sh.
Smallmouth Bass: Fishing
has been excellent in 17-22
feet around the harbor areas
in Cleveland, Fairport Har-
bor, Geneva, Ashtabula and
Conneaut using drop-shot rigs
with tubes baits, leeches and
soft craws.
White bass: Anglers sh-
ing from boats are catching
them north of Cleveland, East-
lake and Fairport Harbor in
20-40 feet; feeding gulls often
indicate the presence of activ-
ity. Shore anglers are catching
sh off the piers in Cleveland,
Eastlake and the Grand River,
with evenings being the best
time.
How: Anglers are using
small spoons, spinners, and
agitators with jigs tipped with
twister tails.
Channel Catsh: Fishing
has slowed down along the
Grand River; anglers are using
nightcrawlers and large chubs.
Water Temperature: The
Lake Erie water temperature
is 72 off Toledo and off Cleve-
land, according to the near-
shore marine forecast.
Anglers are encouraged
to always wear a U.S. Coast
Guard-approved personal o-
tation device while boating.

James exit ends an era in Miami and will likely lead to
Bosh signing elsewhere. The Heat face an uncertain future af-
ter four straight Eastern Conference titles. Wade and Bosh all
opted out this summer, as did forward Udonis Haslem.
I went to Miami because of D-Wade and CB, James told
SI. I believed we could do something magical if we came to-
gether. And thats exactly what we did! The hardest thing to
leave is what I built with those guys.
James was scorned for turning his back on Cleveland in
2010, announcing his decision on a poorly conceived TV spe-
cial. His critics said he wasnt good enough to win a champion-
ship by himself, and that he needed to surround himself with
All-Stars.
James may never surpass Michael Jordans six titles, but his
legacy could be bringing one to Cleveland, devoid of a champi-
onship in any sport since 1964.
Im not promising a championship, he said. I know how
hard that is to deliver. Were not ready right now. No way. Of
course, I want to win next year, but Im realistic.
Hes starting fresh with Gilbert, who famously wrote a blis-
tering letter condemning James and calling him disloyal, nar-
cissistic and cowardly.
At some point, the two worked out their differences.
Ive met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man, James said.
Weve talked it out.
Gilbert, too, has moved on.
I am excited for the fans and people of Cleveland and Ohio.
No fans and people deserve a winner more than them, Gilbert
said on Twitter.
Like a kid who spent four years away at college, James is
coming back home.
James comes back a different man, more mature for his en-
core. He grew up in Miami. Hes a proven champion, married
with two sons and his wife, Savannah, has a daughter on the
way. He wanted to raise them in his hometown.
James has loyalty tattooed on his body. Akron is every-
thing to him, theres no better place to grow up. Scarred by
economic woes, the area needs his help, and James intends to
make it a better place.
I feel my calling here goes above basketball, he said. I
have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take
that very seriously. My presence can make a difference in Mi-
ami, but I think it can mean more where Im from. In North-
east Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for
what you have. Im ready to accept the challenge.
Im coming home.
LEBRON
(From page B1)
Billy Hamilton had a sore hamstring
on Thursday and was relegated to pinch-
hitting during a 6-4, 12-inning loss to the
Cubs. He was back in the lineup on Fri-
day and produced a run right away.
He led off with a bunt toward rst
baseman Gaby Sanchez, pulling up and
whirling his arms as he dodged the tag
and then lunged for the base, touching it
safely with his hand. He scored from rst
on Zack Cozarts double.
McCutchen connected with one out in
the fourth, tying it at 1 with his 18th ca-
reer homer against the Reds. Its the most
by any player against the Reds since the
start of the 2009 season.
Jay Bruce, a right elder playing rst
base for the third time in his career,
botched Neil Walkers grounder for an
error. Latos walked Russell Martin, and
Alvarez hit his 15th homer deep to right
eld for a 4-1 lead. Latos had allowed a
total of four runs in his last three starts.
NOTES: Mike Leake (7-7), who has
won his last ve decisions against the Pi-
rates, faces Charlie Morton (5-9) on Sat-
urday. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle
said RHP Gerrit Cole wont be ready to
rejoin the rotation when hes eligible to
come off the DL on July 20. Cole has a
sore muscle in his right side. Walker
was 0 for 3 with a walk, ending his 12-
game hitting streak. Alvarezs 15
homers rank second behind Cincinnatis
Todd Frazier (16) for most by an NL third
baseman. The Reds optioned C Tuck-
er Barnhart to Triple-A Louisville and
called up right-handed relievers Carlos
Contreras and Partch.
REDS
CLEVELAND (AP) Corey Klu-
ber allowed four runs in six innings, and
Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer in the
fth, leading the Cleveland Indians to a
7-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on
Friday night.
Kluber (9-6), left off the AL All-Star
team despite a strong rst half, wasnt
his usual dominant self but pitched well
enough to win. The right-hander has won
three of his last four decisions. Cody Al-
len struck out the side in the ninth for his
11th save.
Swishers homer off Hector Noesi (3-
7) to center eld broke a 4-4 tie. David
Murphy also homered for Cleveland, his
rst since May 21.
Before Swishers home run, the big-
gest cheer from the crowd of 24,652
came when the Indians put a message on
the scoreboard welcoming home NBA
superstar LeBron James, who announced
he was returning to the Cleveland Cava-
liers. Chants of LBJ were heard later
in the game.
Adam Dunn hit a leadoff homer in the
fth for Chicago, which has lost three
straight.
The Indians were helped by an over-
turned call on a replay in the fth. As-
drubal Cabrera was originally called out
trying to steal second, but manager Terry
Francona challenged the call, and Cabre-
ra was ruled safe after a review.
Lonnie Chisenhalls single tied it be-
fore Swisher homered to center.
Francona and a trainer visited Kluber
in the fourth after he backed up the plate,
but he remained in the game. Kluber
struck out ve, walked two and gave up
eight hits.
Kluber was among the players in an
online vote for the nal spot on the All-
Star team. The Indians massive market-
ing campaign for Kluber fell short, but he
enters the break with a 3.01 ERA and is
fourth in the AL with 142 strikeouts.
Adrian Nietos RBI double and Leury
Garcias run-scoring grounder in the sec-
ond put Chicago in front. Murphys two-
run homer tied it in the bottom of the in-
ning.
Adam Eatons RBI double in the
fourth made it 3-2, but the Indians quick-
ly tied it when Chris Dickerson drew a
bases-loaded walk.
Kluber retired the rst batter in the
second, but the next three reached base.
Conor Gillaspie doubled, took third on
a single and scored on Nietos double to
left. Garcias grounder made it 2-0.
Swisher singled with one out in the
second, and Murphy homered to right,
Eatons double to left-center scored
Garcia from rst base in the fourth. Dunn
homered to dead center eld, the 454th
shot of his career.
Noesi allowed six runs in 4 2-3 in-
nings.
White Sox All-Star Jose Abreu, who
leads the majors with 28 homers, was 1
for 4 with a third-inning single.
Carlos Santana had an RBI double in
the seventh for Cleveland.
NOTES: White Sox 2B Gordon Beck-
ham, 1 for 30 in his last seven games, was
given the night off. Beckham has been
the subject of trade talks. When you
hear trade rumors, it can bother people
enough to make it a distraction, manager
Robin Ventura said. It seems like Gor-
don needed a break. Cleveland op-
tioned LHP T.J. House to the minors and
called up RHP Austin Adams, a reliever.
House will make a start at Single-A Ma-
honing Valley next week and be recalled
following the All-Star break. The
White Sox signed LHP Carlos Rodon,
the No. 3 pick in the draft. RHP Zach
McAllister (3-4) will be recalled from
Triple-A Columbus by the Indians to
start Saturday against RHP Scott Carroll
(3-5).

You must be decisive.
Second-guessing your
actions will make you appear
unprofessional and will prevent
you from moving forward and
discovering all that you can
achieve. If you have faith in
your abilities, you will gain
the confdence and support you
need to advance.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Keep making your
work a top priority. If you are
too concerned about personal
woes, your job performance
will suffer. Productivity is your
ticket to success and greater
security.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Strive to reach your goals in
order to be able to afford that
dream vacation. If you give
yourself the proper incentive,
you will do your best.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Dont get drawn into
a situation with a co-worker
that could compromise your
position. It will be much less
complicated to keep things on a
professional level and take care
of your own responsibilities.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Someone who depends
on you will be resentful of
the time you spend away from
home. Try to balance your
devotion to group involvements
and family duties.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-
Nov. 22) -- Job uncertainties
will bring you down. Send
out your resume or answer
online job postings. Career
consultants can provide you
with knowledge and advice
regarding your chosen feld.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- A poor self-image
will hold you back. Make
personal improvements that
will help boost your confdence
and add to your skill set. Its up
to you to build a solid base.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- Keep your mind on
your work. Your employer will
notice if you are distracted or
unable to concentrate on the
job at hand. Your willingness
to go above and beyond will
bring rewards.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Let your compassionate
and selfess nature shine
through. You are a kind and
giving individual, and you will
fnd a great deal of satisfaction
in helping others.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Dont be too quick to
offer unsolicited advice. If you
are diligent and keep quiet until
you are asked for your point of
view, you will have a better
chance to advance.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Dont keep your ideas to
yourself. You are an expressive
speaker who commands
attention and can make a
difference. Take a leadership
position, and others will follow
you.
TAURUS (April 20-
May 20) -- Prepare to get
into a straightforward talk
with someone who infuences
your money matters. Take a
close look at joint fnancial
arrangements and make the
necessary changes to avoid
loss.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Someone will send you
mixed signals. Be patient, and
keep the discussions going until
you fgure out whats going on.
A hasty assumption will lead to
trouble.

PRACTICE
DEMOCRACY.
READ YOUR
LEGAL
NOTICES.
The reason pub-
lication of legal
notices is required
in newspapers is
YOU, the citizen.
In a democracy,
the government is
required to inform
you of the pub-
lic business, be-
cause you and your
neighbors are the
basis of govern-
ment.
These notices pro-
vide essential in-
formation about all
local government
entities including
schools, cities,
villages and coun-
ties.
A democracy is a
system of checks
and balances.
Your right to be in-
formed is a check
on government.
Public notices shed
light on the actions
of all governmental
bodiesbut its up
to you, the citizen,
to read them and
obtain more infor-
mation on the ac-
tions that have an
impact on you.
THEYRE

Dear Readers: With sum-
mer in full swing and many of
us spending time outdoors, now
is the perfect time to x up the
front yard and give your home
curb appeal. This is especially
important if you are planning
on selling your home. Here are
some simple, cheap and easy
hints. Remember, rst impres-
sions do count:
* Clean all visible hardware
(and repaint if needed). Take a look at the old, tired mailbox.
Will a coat of paint x it, or do you need a new one?
* Install solar lights leading to the front door. They are not
very costly. Plus, it looks lovely and inviting at night.
* Trim trees and landscaping. Make sure there are no tree
branches hanging low over walkways. No one wants to duck a
low-hanging branch.
* Clean the front door and apply a new coat of paint.

Dear Heloise: I bought a roll of red plastic wrap to gift-wrap
a big basket. I did that and left it on our oak table. When I went
to take it off, it was stuck. I pulled it off, and it left a red stain on
our beautiful oak table. How can I get this off without ruining
the nish on the table? Sarah in Maryland

DEAR ABBY: Im a
14-year-old girl in middle
school. I have never seriously
dated anyone, and the one
time I did I felt trapped. My
friends think its weird that
I have never dated a guy and
they call me a lesbian. I just
want to nish my schoolwork
and wait until high school to
start dating. I dont want to
feel weighed down by anyone.
Is there something wrong with
me? CONFUSED IN S.
CAROLINA
DEAR CONFUSED:
Something wrong with you?
Good grief, no! In fact, I
would go so far as to say there
is something RIGHT with
you. Not every teen and
that goes for boys, too feels
ready to date at 14.
It makes me angry that
your friends would call you
something youre not just be-
cause youre not doing what
theyre doing. If it persists,
your parents should talk to
the school about it. Prefer-
ring to concentrate on your
studies and waiting until high
school to date is nothing to be
ashamed of its something
to be proud of.

DEAR ABBY: I attended
a friends birthday celebra-
tion a few weeks ago at a chic
restaurant. After our entrees
were ordered and the appetiz-
ers served, the restaurants re
alarm sounded and the din-
ing room was evacuated. For
20 minutes all of the patrons
waited patiently outside while
the re department was sum-
moned. We learned from an-
other guest that there had been
a small re in the kitchen.
When we returned to the
dining room, a heated debate
ensued among the guests.
One person said that because
the re alarm had interrupted
our meal, the lunch should be
complimentary. Others in-
sisted the restaurant owed us
nothing beyond an apology.
We paid our bill, but the ques-
tion remains: Should the man-
agement have shown some
consideration for the incon-
venience we experienced?
FOUR-ALARM FRAZZLED
DEAR FRAZZLED: I
took your question to Craig
Susser, owner of the success-
ful Craigs restaurant in West
Hollywood, California. He
agreed with me that the res-
taurant owner should have
shown appreciation for the
patience that was exhibited by
the patrons.
While Craig said he
wouldnt have paid for the
entire meal for everyone who
was dining there that day, he
certainly would have made
some adjustment to the bill to
compensate them for their in-
convenience. After all, were
in it together, he added. And
that gracious attitude is why
he has one of the most popular
dining establishments in L.A.

DEAR ABBY: What are
your thoughts on marriage?
Is it an antiquated practice? I
dont know if I really want it,
or just because society and so-
cial media deem it important.
CINDY VIA TWITTER
DEAR CINDY: I dont
consider marriage to be an
antiquated practice at all. In
a sense, marriage is a team
sport. It wont succeed unless
the team members are dedi-
cated to a common goal and
are willing to sacrice selsh
needs to achieve it.
In my opinion, the reason
so many marriages fail is that
individuals go into it for the
wrong reasons. No one should
marry because society and
social media deem it impor-
tant. When you meet the right
person, you wont be ambiva-
lent about spending your life
and creating a family with that
individual.

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(OFBF) Family fun and a
connection to rural Ohio are
just two of the many reasons
for visitors to stop by the
Land and Living exhibit
at the Ohio State Fair, July
23 to Aug. 3. Presented by
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
(OFBF) and Nationwide, the
exhibit demonstrates agricul-
tures link to everyday life.
Visitors to the exhibit, lo-
cated in the Nationwide/Do-
nahey Ag & Hort building,
can participate in a variety
of interactive activities such
as playing with local rescue
dogs, watching chicks hatch
and getting an up close look at
young turkeys from the same
ock that will be part of the
2014 Presidential Thanksgiv-
ing pardoning ceremony. Chil-
dren can take a ride through
the OFBF Country Cruise on
pedal tractors, while parents
enjoy learning about Ohios
crops, animals and other im-
portant areas of Ohio agricul-
ture. Families can also have a
commemorative picture taken,
compliments of OFBF and
Nationwide.
The Land and Living Ex-
hibit will feature many ex-
hibits including the Country
Connection stage that will
feature demonstrations in-
cluding agriscience experi-
ments, sheep shearing, visits
from Columbus Zoo animals
and more. Squash carver Gus
Smithhisler will be back again
this year to carve two giant
squash weighing more than
600 pounds each July 27 and
July 30. A joint House and
Senate Ag Committee Hear-
ing will be held July 29.
Making its debut at the
Land and Living exhibit this
year is the OFBF combine
simulator. The combine cab
was removed from a re dam-
aged combine and retrotted
to create an interactive experi-
ence for children. This exhibit
for youth provides the oppor-
tunity to plant and harvest
crops just like Ohios farmers.
The Land and Living
exhibit and Ohio State Fair
showcase the beauty of ag-
riculture in our great state,
said OFBF lead intern Kelsey
Rumburg. With so many fun
activities, the Land and Living
exhibit is exciting and educa-
tional for all ages.
The Land and Living ex-
hibit is supported by the Ohio
Soybean Council, Ohio Corn
Marketing Program and the
Ohio Expositions Commis-
sion. Last year the exhibit at-
tracted an estimated 300,000
state fair visitors.
The Land and Living ex-
hibit is located east of the gi-
ant slide and across from the
south entrance to the midway.
There is no additional charge
for visiting the building or any
of its displays.

HELOISE
WASHINGTON (AP) Would-be
home sellers across the country are grap-
pling with a once-in-a-lifetime problem:
They have mortgage rates so absurdly
low it would hurt them nancially to sell.
Doing so would mean giving up an
irresistible rate in exchange for a new
mortgage carrying a rate up to a percent-
age point higher. Their monthly pay-
ments would be larger even for a house of
the same price. Thats discouraging some
people from selling, thereby limiting the
supply of available homes and contribut-
ing to slower home sales.
Its a signicant shift from the way
the U.S. housing market has worked for
the past 30 years. For most of that time,
whenever a homeowner decided to trade
up to a better home, mortgage rates usu-
ally were lower than the last time they
had bought. That helped make a new
purchase seem more attractive.
But that is changing. The average rate
on a 30-year mortgage fell below 4 per-
cent in late 2011 and reached a record low
level of 3.3 percent in November 2012. It
didnt top 4 percent again until mid-2013.
Homeowners took advantage of the lower
rates and a renancing boom ensued.
More than one-third of homes with a
mortgage now have rates below 4 percent,
real estate data provider CoreLogic esti-
mates. Yet mortgage rates now average
4.2 percent. That is still low by historical
standards but up about three-quarters of
a point from a year and a half ago. And
should mortgage rates rise later this year
and next, as many economists expect,
even more homeowners will be affected.
As a result, many homeowners with
low rates are staying put. Others are mov-
ing and buying new homes, but keeping
their old ones and renting them. Both
choices mean that fewer homes are listed
for sale, which drives up prices. Higher
prices and limited selection have put the
brakes on a housing recovery that began
in 2012.
And slower home sales, in turn, drag
down economic growth. Fewer sales
mean lower commissions for real estate
agents. Sales of furniture, appliances and
garden supplies also take a hit.
Mark Fleming, chief economist at
CoreLogic, estimates that as many as 3.6
million homeowners are unlikely to sell
this year because they would have to give
up a lower rate.
They got the deal of the century,
says Glenn Kelman, CEO of real estate
brokerage Redn. I dont think in 100
years anyone will be lending money at
3.5 percent. How do you walk away from
a deal like that?
Youd think Ryan Carson, an attorney
in Seattle, would be ready to sell. He and
his wife have one young child and they
are expecting twins. They are going to
hire a live-in nanny, which means there
will be ve people living in their four-
bedroom house.
I could probably use the extra space,
honestly, he said. And he would make
money off the sale, since his homes mar-
ket value is above what he paid.
But Carson, 39, has a 30-year, 3.85
percent mortgage rate, so he isnt going
anywhere. He renanced into the lower
rate last summer, reducing his monthly
payment to $2,200 from $2,600.
I have no interest right now in sell-
ing, he said. He and his wife plan to re-
model instead.
A shortage of homes for sale has
plagued the housing market since late
2012. The number of available homes
last year was the equivalent of just 4.9
months worth of sales, according to the
National Association of Realtors. Thats
far below the typical gure of 6 months.
Inventory has recovered somewhat this
year, partly because the spring buying
season is underway, but it was still equal
to just 5.6 months of supply in May.
Meanwhile, sales of existing homes
have fallen 5 percent in the past year. Yet
prices rose 8.8 percent nationwide during
the same period, according to CoreLogic,
partly because of the limited supply.
Downside of low US mortgage rates? Less selling
In this July 2, 2014 photo, Ryan Carson, right, cooks dinner with his wife, Jenny Roraback-Carson, left,
and their daughter Clara, 3, at their home in Seattle. The Carsons are one of many would-be home sellers
across the country who have mortgage rates so low, it doesnt make nancial sense to sell their homes,
even if they need more space, a trend which limits the supply of homes and can contribute to slower home
sales. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
WASHINGTON (AP)
Average U.S. rates on xed
mortgages edged up slightly
this week, remaining near his-
torically low levels.
Mortgage buyer Freddie
Mac said Thursday that the
nationwide average rate for a
30-year loan rose to 4.15 per-
cent from 4.12 percent last
week. The average for the
15-year mortgage increased
to 3.24 percent from 3.22 per-
cent.
Mortgage rates are slightly
lower than they were at the
same time last year, having
fallen recently after climbing
last summer. Thats when the
Federal Reserve began talking
about reducing the monthly
bond purchases it has been us-
ing to keep long-term interest
rates low.
Rates have fallen modestly
this year as Fed ofcials have
signaled strongly that while
they are trimming the bond
purchases, they are in no rush
to start boosting a key short-
term rate the Fed controls.
To calculate average mort-
gage rate, Freddie Mac sur-
veys lenders across the coun-
try between Monday and
Wednesday each week. The
average doesnt include extra
fees, known as points, which
most borrowers must pay to
get the lowest rates. One point
equals 1 percent of the loan
amount.
The average fee for a 30-
year mortgage rose to 0.7 point
this week from 0.5 point last
week. The fee for a 15-year
loan, popular in renancing,
increased to 0.6 point from 0.5
point last week.
The average rate on a one-
year adjustable-rate mortgage
rose to 2.40 percent from 2.38
percent. The average fee was
unchanged at 0.4 point.
The average rate on a ve-
year adjustable-rate mortgage
ticked up to 2.99 percent
from 2.98 percent. The fee re-
mained at 0.4 point.

Sarah, rst, do no harm!
Make a paste of baking soda
and a little water, and rub it in
the direction of the grain of the
wood. Wipe with a damp cloth,
then dry. This should remove
the color. If not, use a good
commercial wood cleaner
not wood polish to clean the
stain. You should be able to nd
it at a home-improvement store.
Do follow directions carefully,
and dont overdo it. If some of
the stain is removed, but not all,
try repeating the steps to see if
you can remove the rest. He-

MUDDY BOOTS
Dear Heloise: My husband
works a construction job and
is often stepping in mud. He
takes our leftover grocery
bags and sticks them in his
truck. When his boots are
muddy, he slips a plastic bag
over them before getting into
his truck. This way, his truck
is protected and stays clean.

MEXICALI, Mexico (AP) A U.S. effort to discourage
immigrants repeated attempts to enter the country illegally
by dropping them back in Mexico hundreds of miles away
from where they were caught has been sharply scaled back
after producing relatively modest gains.
U.S. authorities insist the Alien Transfer Exit Program has
contributed to overall achievements in border security and
say the cutbacks reected a need to shift resources to deal
with Central Americans pouring into Texas.
The government has own or bused hundreds of thou-
sands of Mexican men to faraway border cities since Febru-
ary 2008, believing they would give up after being separated
from their smugglers.
But government statistics and interviews with migrants in
Mexican shelters suggest the dislocation is a relatively in-
effective deterrent, especially for immigrants with spouses,
children and roots in the U.S.
After being dropped off, many get on another bus and
head right back to where they started. Once there, they re-
unite with their smugglers for another attempt, taking ad-
vantage of a standard practice that they pay only when they
cross successfully.
Its a nuisance. Thats all, said Pablo Hernandez, 50,
who lingered in the hallway of a shelter in Mexicali, swap-
ping stories with other migrants after the U.S. government
took him on a ve-hour bus ride from Tucson, Arizona.
He planned to take a commercial bus to the Mexican town
of Altar to reunite with his smuggler, who provided a phone
number and said he wouldnt demand his $3,400 fee until
Hernandez made it.
The challenges illustrate the limits and pitfalls of massive
spending increases on border enforcement.
Despite overwhelming numbers of Central Americans
crossing in Texas, the Border Patrol is making strides by key
measures, including a drop in the percentage of migrants who
are arrested entering the country again after being caught.
The recidivism rate for all migrants arrested on the Mexi-
can border fell to 16 percent in the 2013 scal year from 17
percent a year earlier, 20 percent in 2011, 24 percent in 2010
and 27 percent in 2009.
But results for ATEP, as the program is known, were high-
er: 25 percent last year, up from 24 percent the previous year,
down from 28 percent the year before, 33 percent in 2010 and
34 percent in 2009.
Last years 9-point difference between ATEP and the
overall rate matched the widest ever.
ATEP has barely fared better than voluntary returns,
the term for migrants who are simply turned around without
being charged. Criminal prosecutions have yielded the low-
est recidivism rates.

NEW YORK (AP) A
month after a California judge
ruled that job protections for
teachers violated childrens
constitutional rights, one law-
suit making the same claim
has been led in New York,
another has been announced
and critics of teacher tenure in
other states say they are pre-
paring litigation as well.
The June ruling in Califor-
nia has been stayed pending
appeal and may never take
effect, but critics of teachers
unions are seizing on the idea
of using the courts to weaken
union power and thus try to
improve schools.
Mona Davids, president of
the parents group that led
the New York lawsuit target-
ing teacher tenure last week,
called educational inequity a
crisis of epic proportions. She
said New York City neighbor-
hoods that are mostly black
and Latino have the schools
with the highest concentration
of teachers rated unsatisfac-
tory.
Yet, Davids said, every
attempt to hold teachers ac-
countable for educating our
children is blocked.
The California ruling
struck down state laws dic-
tating how long it takes for a
teacher to earn tenure as well
as rules that protect senior
teachers during layoffs. The
plaintiffs argued that such
union-backed job protections
mean that poor and minor-
ity schools are staffed dis-
proportionately by bad teach-
ers, which violates students
rights.
Randi Weingarten, presi-
dent of the American Fed-
eration of Teachers, said such
lawsuits mean a continuation
of the articial division that
in order for students to win,
teachers must lose.
But in the next few weeks,
another group, the Partnership
for Educational Justice, found-
ed by former CNN newswom-
an Campbell Brown, says it
will le an anti-tenure lawsuit
in New York.
And parent activists in
Connecticut and Pennsylvania
say they are in the early stages
of preparing similar lawsuits
over teacher tenure. Gwen
Samuel, president of the Con-
necticut parents Union, said
200,000 children are stuck in
low-performing Connecticut
schools.

WASHINGTON (AP) Stung by
sticker shock, members of Congress are
scrambling to lower the cost of a bill to
x veterans health care amid a growing
uproar over long waits for appointments
and falsication of records to cover up
the delays at Veterans Affairs hospitals.
At the same time, decit hawks fear
that letting veterans turn more to provid-
ers outside the VA for health care could
cost far more if Congress, under pres-
sure from powerful veterans groups, de-
cides to renew that program rather than
let it expire in two years.
Lawmakers in both parties agree on
the need to reform the Veterans Affairs
Departments health care network
the largest in the country following
reports of veterans dying while awaiting
appointments at VA hospitals or clinics.
The resulting election-year restorm
forced VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to re-
sign in May. A half-dozen other VA of-
cials have resigned or retired since then.
The VAs inspector general has con-
rmed that at least 35 veterans died
while awaiting appointments at the
agencys Phoenix medical center alone,
but he has yet to report on the results
of investigations into whether delays in
treatment were responsible for any of the
deaths.
The latest analysis by the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Ofce estimates
a Senate-passed bill would cost $35 bil-
lion through 2016 to build new clinics,
hire doctors and make it easier for veter-
ans who cant get prompt appointments
with VA doctors to get outside care. The
CBO put the price tag of a similar mea-
sure passed by the House at $44 billion.
More troubling for lawmakers are
long-term costs. As currently designed,
the legislation would relieve a big back-
log of veterans awaiting appointments
by letting them seek care outside the VA
system, but that the expansion would ex-
pire after two years. Fiscal conservatives
worried about swelling decits fear law-
makers will yield to inevitable pressure
from veterans to keep it.
Once a benet is provided to a large
group of people it is hard to take it away,
so there will be intense pressure on Con-
gress to continue the benet, said Ed
Lorenzen of the Committee for a Re-
sponsible Federal Budget, a Washing-
ton-based group that advocates for lower
decits.
I believe in choice and I hope that we
will be able to continue to allow the policy
change for choice to continue beyond the
two years, said Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla.,
chairman of the House Veterans Affairs
Committee. But what were faced with
now is trying to erase the backlog that is
plaguing VA and preventing veterans from
getting timely access to their earned ben-
et of health care.
Once fully in place, the provision
granting veterans easier access to private
care could cost the government about $38
billion a year almost as much as the
$44 billion the government now spends
annually on medical care for veterans, the
budget ofce says.
Miller and other lawmakers have ques-
tioned the CBO estimates, saying the bud-
get agency used faulty assumptions and
did not account for provisions that would
save money.
I believe we can come up with very
strong legislation at a lower cost than the
initial CBO estimate, said Sen. Bernie
Sanders, I-Vt., chairman of the Senate vet-
erans panel.
Miller and Sanders co-chair a House-
Senate conference committee that is try-
ing to negotiate a compromise bill to ad-
dress long patient wait times and other
problems at the Veterans Affairs Depart-
ment. Bills passed last month by each
house would require the VA to pay private
providers to treat qualifying veterans who
cant get prompt appointments at the VAs
nearly 1,000 hospitals and outpatient clin-
ics or who live at least 40 miles from one
of them.
The bill also would make it easier to
re or demote senior agency ofcials
and end bonuses to senior VA executives
based on meeting patient scheduling
goals a practice investigators say led
some ofcials to create phony waiting
lists to game the system.
The main obstacle is the bills price
tag and how to pay it. The Demo-
cratic-controlled Senate treats the issue
as an emergency and would allow virtu-
ally unlimited spending. The House bill,
written largely by Republicans, requires
Congress to appropriate money each
year under existing budget caps for the
overhaul. The cost would have to be cov-
ered through either higher taxes or cuts
in other programs.
Lawmakers seek lower price for bill on vets care
WASHINGTON (AP)
U.S. business economists have
sharply cut their growth forecasts
for the April-June quarter and
2014, though they remain opti-
mistic that the economy will re-
bound from a dismal rst quarter.
The average forecast for
growth in the second quarter has
fallen to 3 percent, according to
a survey released Friday by the
National Association for Busi-
ness Economics. Thats down
from 3.5 percent in a June survey.
Growth in 2014 as a whole will
be just 1.6 percent, they project,
sharply below a previous forecast
of 2.5 percent. If accurate, this
years growth would be the weak-
est since the Great Recession.
The lower 2014 forecast large-
ly reects the impact of a sharp
contraction in the rst quarter.
The economy shrank 2.9 percent
at an annual rate, the biggest drop
in ve years. That decline will
weigh heavily on the economy
this year, even if growth resumes
and stays at 3 percent or above, as
most economists expect.
The economists reduced their
second-quarter forecast largely
because they expect consumers
spent at a much more modest
pace. They now expect spending
will grow just 2.3 percent at an
annual rate in the second quarter,
down from a 2.9 percent estimate
in June. Spending rose just 1 per-
cent in the rst quarter, the small-
est increase in four years, a sign
consumers are still reluctant to
spend freely.
Many retail chains are feel-
ing the pain. The Container Store
said Tuesday that sales at stores
open for at least a year slipped 0.8
percent in the rst quarter.
We are experiencing a retail
funk, Kip Tindell, chief execu-
tive of The Container Store, said
Tuesday. While consumers are
buying homes and automobiles
and even high ticket furniture,
most segments of retail are, like
us, seeing more challenging sales
than we had hoped early in 2014.
Family Dollar Stores and
clothing retailer the Gap also re-
ported lower sales this week.
Another factor weighed
heavily on the rst quarter: A
big drop in exports widened
the nations trade decit and
accounted for about half the
contraction. Exports picked up
in May and trade is unlikely to
be as big a drag in the second
quarter. But the NABE survey
found that economists expect
exports will now rise just 2.5
percent this year, down from
Junes estimate of 3 percent.
The weaker gures reect slug-
gish economies in Europe and
slower growth in China.

JERUSALEM (AP)
Asserting it has broad inter-
national support for a erce
military offensive in the Gaza
Strip, Israel is showing no
signs of ending the operation,
vowing to press on until there
is a halt to rocket attacks from
the seaside territory.
But a mounting Palestinian
civilian death toll is beginning
to draw international criticism
and could quickly put the
brakes on the campaign.
Israeli ofcials say they are
pleased with the results of the
four-day operation so far. Mil-
itary ofcials say the round-
the-clock airstrikes have hit
Hamas hard, taking out the
militant groups command
centers, rocket-launchers and
storage sites, and knocking
out much of its long-range
rocket arsenal.
A greater threat and
gamble for the Israelis
would be sending ground
troops into Gaza.
Addressing a nationally
televised news conference Fri-
day, Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu said the offensive
was progressing well and
brushed off a question about a
possible cease-re, suggesting
the campaign will continue
for some time. He also refused
to rule out a ground offensive.
