Thursday night incidents keep officials busy

By Ed GEBErt
DHI Media Editor

VAN WERT Law enforcement stayed busy Thursday night
dealing with a shooting northeast of
Van Wert and a police standoff near
Grover Hill.
At 5:25 p.m. the Paulding County Sheriffs Office received a call
concerning a domestic situation on
Road 151 in the Grover Hill area. A
female caller advised her husband,
Daniel L. Nantz, 56, had a gun and
had threatened her, and she was

locked in a room. The responding

deputies at the scene were able to
remove the woman out an upstairs
window, using a ladder. With the
woman out of danger, the Paulding
County Sheriffs Office Special Response Team took over as additional manpower and resources were
called in from Van Wert and Allen
counties. The scene was treated as
a barricaded subject with a firearm.
After about four hours of attempting to make contact with
Nantz, he finally began communication and agreed to surrender
himself to law enforcement. Nantz

was arrested without incident and

was taken to Paulding County Jail
and was charged with domestic violence. He later posted bond.
I cannot tell you how much I
appreciate law enforcement and
first responders in this region,
noted Paulding County Sheriff Jason K. Landers. These people are
willing to stop what they are doing
wherever theyre at and bring their
skill and resources at a moments
notice. Our goal, given these circumstances, is that no one gets
hurt, including the suspect, and that
was the result here. Our area fire-

The Van Wert County Courthouse has
taken on a new hue
lately. With work finishing on the buildings renovation, an
accent color has been
added gold.
County Commissioner Thad Lichtensteiger admitted the
commissioners like
the result. Were

did, he said, referring to Jeff Hollis of

fighters, EMS personnel and law

enforcement are top-notch, and the
citizens should be proud of them.
Later that night, a call came in to
the Van Wert Sheriffs Office from
a caller who stated he was being
confronted by a group of subjects
around Lincoln Hwy. and U.S. 30,
east of Van Wert. The call was received at 11:20 p.m., then deputies
arriving at the scene found a man
who had been injured after an altercation.
Scanner traffic at the time reported a victim had been both
stabbed and shot. Van Wert County

Sheriff Thomas M. Riggenbach reported deputies at the scene determined a weapon was fired by one or
more of the male subjects who were
confronting the victim. According
to the victim, the people confronting him were all male and they fled
the scene on what he believed to be
four-wheel all-terrain vehicles.
The victim was taken to Van
Wert Hospital by Middle Point Fire
and EMS. He was later transferred
to another hospital, where he was
treated and released.

Canal Days entertainment set

DELPHOS The Canal Days Committee has announced the entertainment
for the 2014 offering set Sept.
18-21.
Joe Denim will liven up
the Social Tent from 8 p.m. to
midnight on Friday after his
local debut at the Toast to the
City on Thursday evening.
Joe is the brother-in-law of
Core Committee member Jim
Grothouse so we had someone
from the inside to help us secure
him for the The Toast and Friday night, Canal Days Coordinator Diane Sterling said. Hes
really good and I think people
will like his sense of humor and
his parodies of famous songs.
For the past 10 years, Denim has been playing all over
the country in front of hundreds of thousands of people
with such acts as Uncle Kracker, on the Kenny Chesney
Tour, Jaron & the Long Road
To Love with Toby Keith Tour,
Steve Holy and Jack Ingram.
Denim is a classical-trained
pianist and writes or co-writes
his stand-up material and his
songs. Denims blend of quickwitted stand-up and music
connects with the audience regardless if he is performing at
a rough biker bar or a comedy
club in Nashville.
Denim has also performed
abroad from Canada to the
beaches of St. Croix and almost everywhere in between.
He co-wrote the fifth-biggest
selling country song of 2010
called Pray For You, a sarcastic breakup song recorded
by Jaron & The Long Road
to Love. It just passed the $2
million mark in sales. This
brilliance led to Denim writ-

ing and performing more
original fan favorites: I Saw
Your Face on Facebook,
Truck Buddies, Pink Flamingo, Hello Below Me,
Go Thank Yourself and the
Red Solo Cup parody, 2
Girls 1 Cup.
Lima band Brother Believe
Me is the featured music from
8 p.m. to midnight on Saturday.
This band had actually
been calling me and asking
when they could come and
play at Canal Days so we
signed them up this year,
Sterling said. They are very
popular and play a good mix
of music. Im sure theyll be a
crowd-pleaser.
Brother Believe Me is a
group of experienced musicians capable of reproducing a
wide range of musical genres

with compelling accuracy.

BBMs ability to maintain an
upbeat party atmosphere and
positive connection with the
audience is untouched. The
band features an exciting set
list with a mix of entertaining
songs from the last 40-plus
years of music.
Local country-rock band
Deuces Wild will perform
from 3-6 p.m. Sunday. The
band plays everything from
country to rock to alternative;
from Merle Haggard to Collective Soul a little something
for everyone. Butch Prine Sr.,
Greg Rhoem, Adam Wisher,
Butch Prine Jr. and Melissa
Pruitt round out the group.
Everyone knows Deuces
Wild, Sterling said. They
are a local favorite and theyll
close out the festival for us.

State unemployment rate unchanged from previous month

By Ed GEBErt
Times Bulletin Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT Not much
change was reported in the June
employment report, released Friday
by the Ohio Department of Job and
Family Services. In fact, there was
absolutely no change in the states
unemployment rate which remained
at 5.5 percent in June, just as it was
in May. The number of unemployed

workers in Ohio fell by 1,000 to

316,000. The biggest change came
as an increase in the number of
workers on the job. That figure was
up by 12,700 to a total of 5,305,400
in June.
Even with little change in Ohio,
the U.S. rate did slide from 6.3 percent in May to 6.1 percent in June.
Around the region, Indianas jobless rate rose slightly to 5.9 percent.
Illinois saw a four-tenth fall to 7.1
percent. Kentuckys rate slipped

three-tenths to 7.4 percent. Michigans unemployment rate remained

unchanged at 7.5 percent.
The larger number of workers
was helped by the hiring of 3,700
people in the manufacturing sector,
another 5,000 in professional and
business services, 4,700 more jobs
in the educational and health services, 3,300 additional workers in
trade, transportation, and utilities,
and 1,800 in leisure and hospitality. Also in June, the number of lo-

cal government was down by 7,500

while the number of state workers
was up 4,400 and federal government workers increased by 100.
In the past 12 months, Ohio
has added 15,600 manufacturing
jobs across the state. The private
service-providing sector increased
by 35,800, including 20,700 in the
professional and business services
area. These figures are produced in
cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor.

Kennedy, who is seeking re-election this fall, was the speaker
at a breakfast at Willow Bend Country Club.
After being introduced by the events emcee, Bill Purmort,
Kennedy recounted her history and her beliefs about the judiciary branch.

will be released on Tuesday. In

percent, Allen County slipped to 5.2
percent, Putnam County was at 4.1
percent, Auglaize County reported
3.6 percent and Mercer County remained as the Ohio county with the
lowest unemployment rate at 3.0

Luersman learns nonverbal signs from

horses as equine massage therapist
BY ERIN COX
DHI Media Staff Writer
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Licking
their lips, putting their heads
down and cocking their legs
are all good signs from Katie
Luersmans clients; it means
the horses are enjoying their
massages.
Luersman, 20, of Delphos
is an equine sports massage
therapist.
Just like humans get massages, horses can too, Luersman said. Horses can become sore from people riding
them or tripping on a rock or
laying down and rolling on
something. A massage will
help them not be sore just like
it would humans.
Luersman graduated from
Delphos St. Johns High
School in May 2013. By the
end of June, she was enrolled
at NE Indiana Equine Sports
Massage and Rehab Facility
in Decatur, Indiana.
Ive always wanted to do

where she wants a horse, I just

never grew out of mine.
When she had an experience with a horse that had behavioral problems, she learned
that an equine sports massage
therapist career existed.
The horses attitude completely changed after the massage, she said.
Now Luersman is certified
nationwide as an equine sports
massage and rehab therapist.
Before each massage, she
gives the horses an evaluation
to see what may be causing the
pain and where. She checks
different pressure points for
signs from the horse to indicate pain, like pinning its ears
back or kicking its legs.
If a horse is in pain, theres
a reason, Luersman said. I
can tell whats wrong with it
and see if a massage will help
or if a chiropractor is needed.

The Cellular Connection luERsmAn

to host second annual
backpack giveaway
InFORmATIOn suBmITTED
VAN WERT Residents in Van Wert are about to benefit
from a national backpack giveaway campaign. The Cellular
Connection, the largest Verizon Premium Wireless Retailer in
the U.S., in a joint effort with its customers, announces that it
will donate 100,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children through its School Rocks Backpack Giveaway. Last year,
the company donated 60,000 backpacks.
More than 350 participating TCC stores across the U.S. are
inviting local families to bring their children to the store between noon and 2 p.m. on Aug. 2 to pick up a backpack filled
with pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders, glue and more. One
backpack per child present will be given away on a first-come,
first-served basis while supplies last. The local participating
store in Van Wert is located at 1200 Shannon St., Suite 16.
Each participating TCC store will donate between 75 and 300
backpacks. All leftover backpacks will be donated to local
schools.
The backpack giveaway is a huge part of TCCs Culture of
Good movement thats all about making a positive impact on
employees while benefitting the world, said Scott Moorehead,
president and CEO of TCC. Its how our company gives back
to every community where we do business, and it involves every employee at every level. Were honored to have the ability
to give back to those who need it.
Van Wert residents have also joined the cause. Since the
beginning of March, TCC customers have been given the option to round their purchases up to the nearest dollar with the
difference going directly toward the School Rocks Backpack
Giveaway.
In 2013, the National Retail Federation predicted the average person with children in grades K-12 would spend $86 on
school supplies such as notebooks, pencils and backpacks. On
top of that, nearly 16 million children in the U.S. live in poverty. TCC is doing its part to ensure that as many children as
possible are set up for educational success.

If the horse starts doing something it
did not do before, this could be caused
by soreness, which a massage would help
fix. Behavioral issues, limping in its legs,
bucking and biting could all indicate a
horse has soreness.
After evaluating the horse, Luersman
starts the massage from the front of the
horse. She watches for signs of pain and
relaxation from the horse.
I like to see the attitude change to the
horse being able to relax and enjoy it,
she said.
When horses put their heads down,
lick their lips, chew or cock their legs,
Luersman knows she has found the spot
and the horse is relaxing. No matter what
they do, what breed or size, a horse can
benefit from a massage, Luersman said.
She even alters her mood to keep the
horses at ease.
A horse can sense energy, Luersman
said. When I do a massage, I try to be as
relaxed as possible so it can be relaxed,
too.
Luersman is just beginning her dream
to work with horses. After a long, cold
winter, she has recently started getting
more clients.
More people are becoming aware of
horse massages and that it can help, Luersman said.
She also has a lifelong dream of wanting to help disabled individuals through
working with horses.
Ive always liked horses and then
I started reading articles about how it
has helped people with disabilities, she
said.
Her mom, Elaine Luersman, remembers her sharing an article about a boy
who had never spoken. After interacting
with horses, the boy spoke his first words.
Its been her dream for a long time to
have a place for handicap people to come
ride horses, Elaine said.

Katie Luersman massages her horse, Tinley. The horse is cocking her
right back leg indicating she is relaxed. (DHI Media/Erin Cox)
Before starting on her dream to work
with horses, Luersman had to convince
her mom to allow her to get a horse.
Elaine was leery from past experiences
and how unpredictable horses can be.
After getting her dad on board with
getting one, Luersman got her first horse
when she was 13.

Shes very cautious when shes

around the horses and I knew I couldnt
stop her from her dream, Elaine said.
So Luersman watches for the signs:
pinning their ears back, putting their
head down or licking their lips the
horses telling her what feels good and
what doesnt.

America celebrates 45 years since first lunar landing

BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
The United States had been behind by a long way. More than a decade earlier a small metallic object
named Sputnik that weighed less
than 200 pounds had burst upon the
world scene and revealed to everyone just how far ahead the Soviets
were when it came to space. Four
years later, Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin
became the first human to go to outer
space and orbit the earth.
Just few weeks later in May of 1961,
President Kennedy spoke to a joint
session of Congress and called for a
maximum effort to reach the moon by
1970. Just as famous was the speech he
gave at Rice University in September
when he said America should perform
a whole host of scientific endeavors,
including landing a man on the moon,
not only because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal
will serve to organize and measure the
best of our energies and skills.
A Saturn V rocket launched Apollo
11 into space on July 16, 1969, took
one and half orbits around the earth
and then the third stage booster shot
it toward the moon. None of this was
new to NASA. Twice before astronauts
had encircled the moon before heading

back to their home planet. But this

time would be different. Inside rode
Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and
Edwin Buzz Aldrin.
Three days later Apollo 11 fired
its service propulsion engine and entered orbit around the moon. After
30 revolutions, on July 20, Armstrong
and Aldrin blasted away from Columbia (command module) in Eagle (lunar
module) and descended toward the
lunar surface. Almost immediately,
something went wrong.
As the space craft approached the
moon, it became apparent the craft
was going to miss the designated landing zone. The landing spot in the Sea
of Tranquility had been chosen because of its flat and smooth surface.
Alarms began ringing both in Houston
at the control center and in the Eagle.

Moon Linked To Earth By Mens Steps

SPACE CENTER, Houston
(AP) Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. blasted off safely
from the moon and into lunar orbit today, beginning the complex
maneuvers to link up with their
mother ship. They left behind their
footprints in the lunar dust and in
the history of man.
Their liftoff began 69 seconds after the command ship, with Michael
Collins its lone passenger, passed 69
miles above Tranquillity Base. Seven minutes later, they entered orbit
and a 3 hour chase began.
If all went well, the two ships
would link up at 5:32 p.m. EDT
and head for home at 12:57 a.m.
Tuesday.
Their thrust lander, which settled them onto the surface Sunday
for a 21 hour stay, served them,
too, at liftoff. They left behind the
spindly-legged lower stage, their
launching platform, as a permanent
memento of July 20, 1969 the day
man landed on the moon.

Mission control awakened the

moonmen shortly after 11 a.m. following a six-hour rest period. Instruments which monitored Armstrong during the night indicated he
slept fitfully. There is only one set
of biomedical instruments in the
cabin so Aldrin was not monitored.
Checking of systems and switch
settings for the critical liftoff was
the No. 1 priority after wakeup.
A successful liftoff would shoot
them into lunar orbit to chase down
Michael Collins, orbiting some 65
miles overhead in the Apollo 11
command ship.
Once linked up, they plan to fire
themselves back toward earth early
Tuesday, ending a space odyssey in
which they etched their names beside those of historys great explorers, Columbus, Balboa, Magellan,
Gama and Byrd.
It was unforgettable.
Armstrong climbed through the
LM hatch and started backing down
a nine-rung ladder. On the second

rung from the bottom, he opened a

compartment, it recorded history.
Among scientists, there was elation that the crew had landed in an
area with a variety of rocks, a treasure that held at least hope of a rich
payoff in the search to learn more
about moon and earth.
As Armstrong planted his size
9 left boot on the powdery surface at 10:56 p.m. Sunday, he spoke
words that will be remembered for
all time: Thats one small step for
man, a giant leap for mankind.
There were other memorable
utterances during the day of high
adventure.
There were Armstrongs words
when Eagle separated from the
command ship to start the dangerous descent: The Eagle is flying.
There were Armstrongs and
mans first words from the moons
surface after touchdown at 4:18
p.m.: Houston, Tranquillity Base
here. The Eagle has landed.

Musical performers
A group of us were discussing our music
favorites as we watched the band Nashville
Crush set up for the Music in the Park series
last Sunday. It was a great day
for an outdoor concert and by
the looks of the crowd several
hundred others felt that way
also. As you can imagine, everyone had their favorite genres
and were very committed to
following numerous artists in
each. My favorite is jazz and
specifically musical pieces that
lean towards the blues. My
tastes go back to the 1920s and
30s Jelly Roll Morton, Satchmo, Duke Ellington, and the list goes on. At
the museum this coming Friday, July 25, we
are going to introduce some cool jazz featuring
Chuck Sommers and his trio. This highly versatile saxophonist and his crew will take you
from Hotlanta to Cool Jazz and the Big Band
sound. Hes a self-taught musician who has an
excellent following in Northwestern Ohio.
To keep the temperature down on these hot
summer nights, well be serving wine, hors
doeuvres, and lots of cold beverages. Even the
theme of the evening was chosen to get you
in a joyous mood Christmas in July. Better
come early; doors open at 7 p.m. Chuck and
his trio will be playing from 811 p.m. I understand that we have been able to locate Santa
in his off season and he plans to be here as
well (I sure hope the chimney is clean). Your

the first successful test of the

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood FlowBusting 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!

What part of your swollen, tired,

or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition 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-boosting sock, called BambusaTM.
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 BambusaTM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in contact 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 revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, athletes,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 fatigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were photographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemuscle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.
Doctor

Pain specialist
of 30 years, Dr.
Jahner comments
on the 3D-weave
technology. Infrared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase 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 comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.
"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 cellular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and recommend 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 exaggeration the relief was almost instantaneous. 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
BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negativeanion 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
BambusaTM socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and noticed 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 painfree 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.
BENEFITS:
Increased blood flow and

Tom from NJ reports, I suffer
from chronic foot cramps. My feet
were sore for days after the cramping. My wife gave me the BambusaTM socks, I wore them, and the
foot cramps stopped. I replaced all
my socks with BambusaTM. My

Just Like You

There appears to be a new affliction making the rounds of
some groups in America. We are only waiting for the big telethon fundraiser to help stop it.
There is no official name yet but the disease strikes people
of power and money and leaves them tone deaf to the struggle
of regular citizens, often while claiming they are just like
you.
Here are some of the sad recent cases:
- A professor at the University of North Carolina School
of Law was paid $200,000 per year to teach one class on
poverty.
- Elizabeth Warren is now a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts who talks routinely about the inequality of the American economic system. Previously she had been a professor at
Harvard Law School where she was paid $350,000 per year to
teach one class and then was able to go home to her $2 million
mansion.
- The former head of the failing Philadelphia school system
was paid $350,000 per year before she was fired. She then collected a $1 million severance package and filed for unemployment.
- Best-selling author James Patterson recently weighed into
the ongoing dispute between Big 5 publisher Hachette and
online retailer Amazon by saying the big publishers have an
obligation to lower their number of published authors, despite
the fact thousands of independent presses have made it possible, with Amazons help, to provide authors the opportunity to
write full-time. Pattersons last contract, with Hachette, guaranteed him $150 million for his next 12 books.
- Chelsea Clinton, who the country watched grow up in the
White House while her father was President, sits in a $10.5
million condominium that overlooks Gramercy Park where she
lives with her investment banker husband. Recently she was
quoted as saying she had tried but she just found it impossible
to care about money.
The disease is even more horrifying when it is seen in our
countrys politicians.
- Several Bell, California employees gave themselves huge
raises that nearly bankrupted the little suburb of Los Angeles.
The city manager was making $800,000 per year and had a
$1 million per year pension fund set up for himself before the
lawsuits started and some of the officials were given jail time.
- Rep. Eric Cantor recently lost his re-election bid to the
U.S. House of Representatives for Virginia to a relatively unknown candidate who successfully campaigned by describing
Cantor as a man who had lost touch with the constituency. On
the day of the election, Cantor, whose district is only a 45-minute drive from Washington D.C., reportedly was spotted in a
Starbucks in Washington with political lobbyists rather than
being with the voters.
- And finally, in perhaps the saddest case of all, former First
Lady and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed she
and President Bill were broke when they left the White House
in 2001. However, in 1999 they purchased a house in Chappaqua, New York, for $1.7 million and in 2000 bought another
home, this one for $2.85 million on Embassy Row in Washington D.C. That same year she received nearly $3 million from
Simon & Schuster for royalties on her book while Bill was
charging $125,000 for half-hour speeches around the country.
Obviously, our tongue is planted firmly in our cheek when
we say the disconnect between these high-profile people and
the plight of middle class Americans since the economic downturn is a disease. But it does reflect a clear lack of understanding about how hard it has been for some people to take care
of their kids, perhaps save a little money for college tuition
or retirement, all while worrying about whether or not they
would have a job the next day. That point is driven home every
time someone like Hillary tells The Guardian (June 2014) she
and her husband are not truly well off when their current net
worth is estimated to be around $150 million. It is especially
egregious when the offenders are our elected officials.
Voters would do well to remember that this fall during the
election season and on into the 2016 Presidential campaign.

A world champion in the family

We have a world champion in the family!
My husband has spent
this week in Virginia
Beach with our niece, Lotus, his sister and her husband and dozens of Dancesensations Dance Center
dancers at nationals.
On Wednesday, my
Lotus Leaf was named
Miss Teen StarQuest, the
highest StarQuest honor! She won every one of her categories and racked up

in 1983 following the Russian

downing of a Korean passenger plane. Megyn Kelly was
contrasting that with President
Obamas response to the current disaster, where he hinted
at tragedy before telling some
jokes and heading off to a
fundraiser, not to be heard
from again that night. Other
Fox personalities also noted
the contrast.
Well, it wasnt the example
I was going to use, but its exactly on point with what I had
been planning to write. I just
missed the chance to be prophetic.
The topic: leadership and
politics. Our current President

I was able to watch most of her performances and I have to tell you, even after
four years, I still tear up when I see her
dance. Im no judge but when she starts
to move I get goose bumps. I guess the
real judges saw it, too, and rewarded her
handsomely. Her toes were always pointed, her legs always straight, her arms always graceful.
What I noticed most was her facial
expressions. She draws you in and keeps
you there. She is a lyrical dancer at heart
it shows. If the judges decisions mean
anything, shes the best in her age group.
CHAMPION/A7

For Melissa, Jessica, Amanda, and Sherry

I guess it only makes sense.
So many rock and pop songs
are written about or are inspired by women, its only
natural that so many songs
have female first names in the
title or featured in the title.
As I was listening to Bruce
Springsteen sing, I wanna die
with you, Wendy, on the street
tonight in an everlast kiss,
Huh! it hit me again. Born
to Run is an exception, since
the name Wendy didnt make
the title. She is referred to by
name three times in the song,
but not in the title.
Rock and roll is full of
songs with simple stories
about a certain girl. Diana,
Jane, Ruby baby, Christine
sixteen, and Dawn (Go away
Im no good for you). And for
the most part, the girls names
are beautiful, and they should
be beautiful, after all the girls
inspired songs to be written

My
Two
CenTs
By
Ed Gebert

about them. So which names

havent inspired music and
sheer poetry?
Well, there are plenty of
girl name songs. You can list
a handful in just 15 seconds.
Go ahead. Ill wait. OK, Ill
give you a start: Angie, Amie,
Veronica. Keep going. Come
on, you can do it. How about
Barbara Ann? Billie Jean? Or
Brandy. Shes a fine girl. Wake
up and write down Little Suzie. Dont make this too difficult. Elvira. Gloria. Beth.

Mandy. There is a whole harem of them!

But what about the not-so
inspirational names. Lets try
Agnes. Has anyone recorded
a song named Agnes? Actually, yes. Donnie Iris recorded
Agnes in 1980. It wasnt a
hit. Its really not that great of
a song. You might expect to
hear a song like that one on
the flipside of a 45. You remember 45s, right?
How about Bertha? Thats
an old-fashioned name. Well, I
remember a song from the 70s
by the Jimmy Castor Bunch
called, and I quote, The Bertha Butt Boogie (part 1). And
yes, there was a part 2. True
that the song was about Berthas obvious weight problem and its affect on Berthas
dancing, but it is a song about
a Bertha.
How about Gertrude? I
struck out on finding a Ger-

trude song. Helga? Ditto for

Helga. Apparently no talented
musician has ever fallen for a
girl named Helga or Gertrude.
Prudence? Of course theres
a Prudence. The Beatles did
Dear Prudence, a song that
I never really cared for, but its
a song! Olga? Harry Belafonte
sang a song called, Olga, but
I cant find a recording online
to see what it sounds like.
So you see, I really had to
work to find a common girls
name with no song. I realize
Gertrude and Helga arent exactly common names, but they
are really names and have
been for many years, not made
up by misspelling some words
and deciding it looks pretty
that way, then assigning that
moniker to a baby girl who
wont be able to fight back until shes a teenager.

YOUR OPINIONS
Three who provided
assistance thanked
To the editor,
On July 10, my wife and I were on
our way to Willshire for a ball game. We
just entered the village of Wren. We had
stopped for the traffic signal and were
about to turn on SR49. There were three
young men walking across the street.
One of the men was waving his arms at
us. As I turned the corner, I realized why
he was waving. The left front tire on our
car was flat.
These three young men went and got
an air compressor, then proceeded to
plug our tire. They said if the plug did
not work they would change our tire.
The plug did work. I offered to pay these
young men but they would not take any
money. The three young men were JD
Taylor, Jared Ferris and Justin Cole.

What would Reagan do?

Believe it or not, I had
this weeks column outlined
in my head before the Malaysian jet was shot down over
the Ukraine this week. I happened to be reading Ronald
Reagans autobiography last
weekend and was ready to
write about the different approaches to leadership Reagan
took as compared to those of
the current President.

Summer Gospel
Concert a success
To the editor,
This years Summer Gospel Concert
was great. The Gospel Pavilion may be
falling down as the fairboard said. But
having the concert in the dairy barn
meant more to the Gospel groups that
were there and the people who were there
than some can imagine.
See, our beloved Jesus was born under similar circumstances. Mary and
Joseph were told there was no room for
them at the inn, the proper place for him

to have been born. But instead they were

sent to the barn. And our precious Lord
Jesus was born. So the thought here of
mine and all who were present what
a perfect place to be closer than ever to
our Lord Jesus. The love of Jesus was felt
throughout the night.
Satan may have had a hand in damaging the gospel barn to the point where one
Fair Board member said she knew the
building would not be in use for the fair
and would definitely be irreparable and
torn down. But through all this God prevailed in the dairy barn. By Faith, Work
In Progress (from Cincinnati, Ohio), The
Songsters Quartet (from around Cleveland, Ohio) and the Mt. Pleasant Praise
Team all agreed you could feel the Lords
presence.
Thanks to the Times Bulletin, you are
greatly appreciated.

Dreamers see dramatically different future

Every phase of your life
could be subject to change in
just the next 10 years as innovators tinker with the status quo regardless of the
consequences those changes
might have on our lives.
In decades past, revolutionary changes may have taken
five years to take hold. Today,
dramatic changes can sweep
the country, the world, in a
matter of months.
Traditional ways of doing
things can be turned upside
down almost over night. This
can be very disturbing and it
makes many people uncomfortable. Some of the breakthroughs are life changing and
totally disrupt lives.
Well, visionaries say we
havent seen anything, yet! In
the immediate future, everything is about to change again
and again. Many people cant
afford to keep up.
The Wall Street Journal
marked its 125th anniversary
July 8 with a special section.
They asked leading thinkers,
innovators and artists to share
their visions of where the
world is headed.

Innovation is not slowing down, in fact, its racing

ahead. No industry can afford
to sit still. If you are sitting
still, taking a breather, you are
falling behind and will soon
be relegated to a scrap heap, a
museum or made irrelevant by
the latest new technology.
The stampede to the future has little concern for the
consequences. The innovators
just want to get to the future
first, then clean up the carnage
later. In many areas, this rush
to change the world is irresponsible.
Tens of thousands of engineers at Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook are dreaming of ways
to change the way we live and
communicate. A great revolution is on the horizon they
predict.
Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive of Facebook, says the
Internet is still in its infancy.
Only one-third of the world is
currently connected. That 2.7
billion number will grow to
over 5 billion.
There will be a global sense
of community. Your friends

and family will include people

living around the world. This
will lead to a whole new sharing dynamic.
Think back to how the
world changed when the world
was introduced to the miracles
of the printing press, radio,
television, mobile phones and
the Internet.
If you think drone technologies are in the distant
future, think again. Same for
3-D printing technologies. We
may associate drones with the
military but it is already an
open platform for dozens of
other applications.
These new products will
soon be everywhere. Yes,
there are legal and safety hurdles in the way but they will
be addressed. Think what this
will do to millions of middle
class workers in doomed industries?
James Gorman, chairman of Morgan Stanley, predicts that the number of bank
branches will decline from
97,000 now to about 10,000 in
the future as a result of mobile
devices. For banks, the bricks
and mortar we are accustom

every move, every transaction
you make.
Huge data centers will collect and store data about your
health, location, movement,
political views, buying habits,
finances, relationships and security risks. You wont be able
to avoid Big Brother.
As the way we live changes, creating jobs will be a
great economic challenge,
admits Larry Summers, Harvard professor and former
U.S. Treasury secretary. Tens
of millions of workers will be
forced to find employment in
other sectors.
Back in simpler days, one
in 30 men between 25 and 54
could not find work. Today,
that ratio is one in six men,
Summers says.
Software is eating the
worlds labor force. As technology and robots flourish,
tens of millions of workers
will be displaced. They will
either be long-term unemployed, or they will be banished to a lifetime of minimum wage jobs. Poverty rates

will soar.
Alice Waters, a chef and
founder of Chez Panisse restaurant, says Americans have
eaten their way to a really
bad place, but that is going
to change. Eating unhealthy
food has caused over 60% of
Americans to be overweight.
The country is hostage to
fast-food giants, factory farms
and industrial food manufacturers who use harmful
amounts of sugar, salt, corn,
wheat, additives and laboratory-produced chemicals to
make the food products we
crave.
Waters believes this trend
will be rejected by consumers. Americans will demand
healthy foods and will buy
more from farmers markets
and well see a revival of small
mom and pop restaurants.

(From page A6)

It was innovative but it was also political dynamite very easy to criticize in the short-term.
Early on, Reagan took a bath in the polls.
In retrospect, the decline of the Soviet Union
might seem to have been inevitable. In 1981,
nothing seemed inevitable. After four years of
appeasement under Jimmy Carter, we were well
behind the Soviets in the arms race and everyone on both sides was scared feces-less. But Reagan noticed how globally stretched on credit the
Soviets were (similar to where we are now). If
America utilized its superior economy to outspend the Russians in arms, the Soviet Union
could very well collapse trying to keep up.
The Left screamed for arms reduction, as if
the Soviets were ready to agree to such a thing.
They labeled Reagan a warmonger for the dramatic increase in military spending. It would
have been politically expedient to change course,
but Reagan didnt. Eventually, the Soviet Union
did collapse, unable to financially maintain the
grip on its empire. We won the most critical war
this world has known so far without firing a shot.
Reagan dealt with his enemies decisively, but
he was just as decisive in handling friends. The
Iran-Contra affair involved Israel selling arms to
a moderate element in Iran that was helping to
negotiate the release of hostages held by terrorists. When Oliver North illegally diverted some
of the money from the sales to support the Contras opposing communism in Central America, a
scandal ensued.
What did Reagan do? He immediately appointed a special prosecutor, knowing that it
would be the end of his National Security Advisor John Poindexter, who knew of the transfers.

Any appearance of impropriety in government

beyond the few bad actors was promptly eliminated. You could trust the Reagan government.
Reagans famous tax cuts that led to a decade
of prosperity were passed through a Democratic
Congress. In contrast, President Obama passed
the Affordable Care Act without one Republican
vote, creating the bitterest bi-partisanship in this
countrys history. He now refuses to work with
Congress at all its too difficult.
The President refuses to hold friends accountable, prohibiting some from answering questions
about the IRS and Benghazi and allowing others to arrogantly ignore requests for information.
He changes course on tough political questions
like he did a few weeks ago on immigration
when his big donors disagree with him.
His international strategy is a puzzle wrapped
in an enigma. What will be our response to the
jet downing? What can our allies or enemies
expect from us? Who are our allies and our enemies anymore? What is our long-term strategy
with Iraq, Iran, Israel and Russia? Is there one?
Even if its non-intervention, why isnt that clear?
With Reagan, you knew where he stood on
an issue as soon as you asked him. When air traffic controllers went on strike, they were fired. Air
traffic controllers didnt go on strike anymore.
When IRS agents illegally targeted conservatives, Obama was outraged. What happened
next? Nothing. Not one person held accountable.
That old footage of Reagan has to make
the staunchest liberal long for the days when
the countrys leader exuded commitment and
strength. Whatever this leader has been exuding
for five and a half years, it doesnt resemble either
of those two things.

The trip has become sort
of routine for my husband. He
knows what to pack and makes
sure a hoodie or two make it
in because the event halls are
usually freezing to keep the
dancers cool. He called several times this week while walking around the block to warm
up. (Dont tell Ringo. Im sure
hes missed his walks with my
husband. They usually do at
least a mile a day and more on
Sunday and Monday.)
I, on the other hand, had
been plotting for weeks. I
squirrelled away a few of my
favorite foods Jay doesnt like
and I had four new books on
my iPad I planned to make
it my mission to read. That
hasnt worked out so well. Ive
been so busy at work and its
easy to stay later than usual
because the only one at home

to will become obsolete.

Big banks will get bigger.
The concept of cash will be
relegated to museums. Transactions will all be done on
handheld devices. Can we
trust this technology? Or, is it
no different than using credit/
debit cards?
There will be more online
savings vehicles, crowdfunding and loan syndicating by
insurance companies, pensions and hedge funds, Gorman said.
Despite having powerful
safety devices on electronic
devices, determined cybercriminals will steal so much
they will force nations to establish deposit-insurance-like
entities to cover the massive
thefts.
As weve already seen,
personal privacy is already a

Im sure our fur-bearing
son will have a different story
to tell his dad. He doesnt like
my schedule much. When Im
getting around in the evening
to head back in to work to put
the paper to bed, hes ready
for bed himself. He and Jay
are early to bed and early to
rise. He gives me the stink
eye when I come home as if
to say, Where have you been?
Ive been waiting up for you.
Dont you know its past my
bedtime? Poor Little Ringo.
Well, just one more day to go
and Jay will be home and hell
fill me in on all the happenings
of nationals. I cant wait to hear
about the Pyramid Party and all
who were roasted. If youve
ever seen Dance Moms, you
know the pyramid and how important it is. My brother-in-law

is always in the top spot because

he is the driving force behind
the prop dads.
The Pyramid Party is a time
for the parents to get together
and talk about whats happened
so far during the week and
make fun of each other. The
kids are all invited to a pizza
party by StarQuest so the parents dont have to worry about
them for a while.
My husband was a little nervous about the roast part but
all that was said is he comes
all the way from Ohio to build
and carry around props and
still finds time to shop. If you
know my hubby, you know he is
sometimes shopping even when
hes sleeping.
It will be good to see my
better half Sunday. Ive missed
him. Maybe well go shopping.
He likes that.

There are plenty of songs
with words included that you
didnt know was meant to be
a name. Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot is rumored to
be about a girl with the nickname Sundown. There was
the hit Cinnamon by Derek
about a girl named Cinnamon.
And dont even get me started
about a girl named Sloopy.
Some girls got more than
one song. Take Mary for instance. Besides two songs
simply named, Mary, there
is Along Comes Mary,
Crazy Mary, Cross-Eyed
Mary, Fly Mary, If
Marys There, Jolly Holiday (with Mary,) Mary Go

Mary, Mary, Midnight

Janes Last Dance, Hello

And if you think thats a lot
just for Mary, look up all the
Sue/Suzie songs.
It doesnt matter if you are

beautiful or even if your name

is beautiful. Enough pie-eyed

Moon
(From page A5)
Or when Aldrin, a deeply
religious man, relayed this message to the world shortly after
the landing: This is the LM
pilot. Id like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening, whoever, wherever they
may be, to pause for a moment
and contemplate the events of
the past few hours and to give
thanks in his or her own way.
They planted an American
flag and saluted it, but made it
plan they came to the moon as
ambassadors for all mankind.
They unveiled a stainless
steel plaque bearing these
words: Here men from planet
earth first set foot upon the
moon. July 1969. A.D. We came
in peace for all mankind.
They left on the moon a disc
on which messages from the
leaders of 76 nations had been
recorded. They will return to
earth with them the flags of 136
nations, including Russia. And
they left behind mementos for
three Americans and two Russians who died for the cause of

space exploration.
The theme was carried
through when President Nixon
placed an extraordinary radio
call to Armstrong and Aldrin as
they strolled the surface.
Although at times it appeared they were on a romp in
the park, Armstrong and Aldrin
carried out a true exploration of
the moon.
Several times they tested
their ability to move about in
the one-sixth gravity field of
the moon, loping like antelopes,
and bouncing like kangaroos.
Its not difficult at all moving about in one-sixth G,
commander Armstrong reported, as he flashed before the
camera like a graceful gazelle.
The camera was mounted
40 or 50 feet away from the LM
so that earthlings could watch
their entire period outside 2
hours, 14 minutes for Armstrong and one hour, 44 minutes
for Aldrin.
One of those who could not
watch on television was Collins,
flying the lonely vigil overhead,

awaiting the return of his companions. He checked with mission control occasionally for a
progress report on the surface
activity, but he generally was a
forgotten man to the world.
Armstrong and Aldrin gave
vivid descriptions of their wild
and wondrous world and collected two boxes of rock and
soil samples which they will return to earth for analysis.
The moonmen also deployed two scientific instruments on the moon to relay data
long after they left. They were a
seismometer to measure moonquakes and other disturbances
and a small mirror to reflect
earth laser beams fired from
California and back to earth.
The sensitive seismometer,
monitored on earth, picked up
the footsteps of the astronauts
and recorded a thump when
they turned litterbug and dumbed a bag of unneeded equipment overboard after returning
to their landing vehicle.

LunAr
(From page A5)
The module was going to miss its mark long
and overshoot by quite a ways. Armstrong looked
at where they were now going to settle down and
saw a rough and boulder-strewn area. He quickly
took control of the craft and steered toward a
better spot while Aldrin called out critical data.
With only 25 seconds of fuel left in the tank, the
Eagle settled down in a thick layer of moon dust.
It is often thought the first words transmitted
from the moon was Armstrongs line, Houston,
Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.
That is false. Even as the Eagle sat down, Aldrin
continued to speak in technical jargon, alerting
system status, etc. Armstrong acknowledged the
last before he spoke directly to command.
The astronauts had planned on reading a few
verses from the Book of Genesis after landing
but famous atheist Madalyn Murray OHair sued
NASA for reading from the Bible on a government project and the lawsuit had not yet been settled. Aldrin was an elder at a Presbyterian church
in Texas so he instead took Communion quietly.

This was not revealed publicly for many years.

At exactly 10:56 p.m. EDT on July 20, Armstrong squeezed through the hatch and stepped
down to the lunar surface, becoming the first
man in history to walk on another heavenly body.
Armstrong and Aldrin both walked on the
moon, collecting samples to bring back to earth
and taking pictures. President Richard Nixon
even spoke to the men through a telephone-radio
transmission.
But the final scare of the mission was yet to
come. While moving around preparing for takeoff and a re-connection with Columbia circling
above them, Aldrin accidentally broke the circuit
breaker for the main engine used during lift-off.
They were able to temporarily fix the switch by
using a felt tipped marker.
Here, on the 45th anniversary of the event, is
a reprint of the July 21, 1969, Van Wert TimesBulletin article detailing Armstrong and Aldrin
on the moon, perhaps the greatest scientific and
technological accomplishment in human history,
and the fulfillment President Kennedys dream.

Why are stamps even important? You spend your
money to purchase a gummed
piece of paper and what could
you possibly get from collecting them? For most people, its
a window into the world a
world of places they will never be able to go to. Looking
through that same window, we
learn about those who came
before us and created the society, the culture, the living history that stands right before
you.
Lets look at this for a moment from a grandparents
point of view. Do you read
stories to your grandchildren?
How about stories about your
life experiences? (So what did
you do in the war, Daddy?) Do
you sit for hours and watch
them in the imaginary play
with an action figure or an
educational toy? How about
the stories of stamps? I hear a
no on that one. Ill bet you
have; you just dont know it. I
am going to just pick a couple
of examples: Snow White and

Times Bulletin/Delphos Herald

the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio,

Mickey Mouse, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella. I could
fill the rest of this page with
examples of stamps that you
probably see every day on
your mail and could help them
remember the story and the
characters.
Cancelled stamps on envelopes not only open that
window because of the stamp
subject, but what about the
postmark or even the return
address? Have you got a road
atlas at your home? Or a computer with access to maps on
the internet? Sit down with
your grandchildren or your
own children and look up
where the letters came from.
With Google Earth you can
actually see the building it
came from or an aerial view
of the town or city.
It doesnt have to be organized. It doesnt have to be
an expense. But when you sit
down with the younger generations and you pick out images that mean something to
youtalk to them, reach out

to them, because they are our

future. Lets teach them about
the past.
Please come and support
our mission to educate, entertain, and enlighten. Without
you, we would not have a museum at all.

Having started in law enforcement in Hamilton, Ohio, Kennedy moved to a legal career,
eventually serving as the administrative judge
of the Butler County Court of Common Pleas,
Domestic Relations Division from 2005-2012.
In 2012,, she was elected to an unexpired term
of the Ohio Supreme Court and became the
154th justice of the court.
In her address Friday morning, Kennedy
stressed that her job as justice is to uphold every word of the law.
What you are doing in the judges races isnt
about a policy, because we shouldnt be making policy. I dont have a platform to tell you
what Im going to do for you to fix things. My

sole message is: Im going to uphold the law

as long as its constitutional, and not rewrite
it or legislate it from the bench. Thats where
people need to begin with how they view the
judicial branch what do they want? she declared.
In 2012, Kennedy surprised Yvette McGee
Brown and captured the election for a seat on
the high court. McGee Brown had been Gov.
Ted Stricklands running mate in the 2010 governors race, which he lost. Kennedy is being
challenged this fall by State Rep. Tom Letson
of Warren.
While in Van Wert, Kennedy was also
scheduled to tour the Cooper Farms Cooked
Meats Plant.

Lichtensteiger admitted that, although the
results have been very eye-catching, the commissioners were not going to spend additional
dollars to add more gold to the building. Hollis
had wanted to paint the entire dome atop the
courthouse, but the commissioners could not
justify the expense. When Hollis made a deal
to do the very top of the dome, it became more
tempting, but they decided it was more important to hold tight on costs. That is when Common Pleas Court Judge Charles D. Steele got
involved. Steele wanted to see the additional
gold color and was told that if he wanted to
pay the cost from his special projects fund, he
could. That was all it took for the golden paint
to top the courthouse dome.
Other courthouse features also were painted gold, including a fresh coat on Lady Justice
just above the buildings main entrance. Also
included were two lions heads that were well
out of sight to most people on the ground.

They were difficult to notice before unless

you were up that high, Lichtensteiger noted.
They are now gold as are many accent pieces that were in need of a fresh coat of paint,
which was one of the goals of the project.
Another part of the project was the replacement of the weather vane at the top of
the courthouse dome. The weather vane was
knocked down in the derecho storm that swept
through the county on June 29, 2012. It was
repainted gold and was put back at the top of
the dome with Lichtensteiger himself joining
Dustin Figley taking it up in the bucket of a
crane Thursday to its perch 130 feet high. A
smaller crane had been used to attempt to put
the weather vane in place earlier in the week.
Lichtensteiger stated he believed all the
contracted work for the project is now completed. More gold accent paint will be applied
in the next phase of the renovation project,
which Lichtensteiger estimated to be undertaken in two to three years.

he came to this country there
wasnt any town here. He just

slept in the buildings, many a

Also, the boards listened to plans for two, two-story, eightapartment buildings to be built in the 700 block of South Washington Street but no action was taken since the owners were
still in the process of having the plans approved by the state.
The boards tabled a request to construct a coin-operated laundry in North Washington Street until City Council had the time
to define the type of zoning needed for the business.
Members of the Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars,

This week in 1939, 13 alleged members of the Philadelphia
poison ring were arraigned on murder and manslaughter charges, the second mass arraignment in the case. More than 100
murders-for-hire were connected to Herman and Paul Petrillo,
including several being blamed on arsenic widows who purchased large life insurance policies who then split the proceeds
with the Petrillos after the killings. The Petrillos were eventually found guilty of 114 murders and were executed in the
electric chair in 1941 while all the other defendants received
sentences of life in prison.
Miss Odean Waugh, the Van Wert County home demonstration agent, reported that arrangements for a Rural Womens

Indians rally past Tigers

BY lARRY lAGE
AP Sports Writer
DETROIT (AP) Jason Kipnis hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer and Asdrubal Cabrera sent the next pitch over the right-field
fence to cap a seven-run seventh inning and
help the Cleveland Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 9-3 on Friday night.
Kipnis hit another home run, a solo shot, in
the Indians two-run ninth.
Trevor Bauer (4-4) gave up three runs on
six hits over six innings.
Detroits Anibal Sanchez (6-4) retired the
first seven batters he faced and had a 3-0 lead.
He ended up giving up four runs, six hits,
walking one and striking out seven in an uneven performance.
The AL Central-leading Tigers won 17 of
23 games going into the All-Star break. Cleveland has won seven of its last 10 games.
The Indians chased Sanchez in the seventh
when Nick Swisher hit a bases-loaded, two-run
single with no outs. Al Alburquerque later entered the inning with two runners in scoring
position and was working his way out of the
jam with two strikeouts. He had a 1-2 count
against Kipnis, whose fourth homer of the season gave Cleveland a 6-3 lead.

play in the seventh.

After both starters pitched two perfect innings, the Indians had a hit in the third and the
Tigers had two and scored a run in the home
half.
Detroit loaded the bases with one out and
Bauer got out of the jam, allowing one run on
Ian Kinslers sacrifice fly and getting Miguel
Cabrera to hit an inning-ending fly.
Torii Hunter hit an RBI double in the
fourth, stole third and scored on catcher Yan
Gomes throwing error, giving the Tigers a 3-0
lead. They potentially could have scored another run in the inning, but J.D. Martinez was
thrown out at home trying to score from first
base on Hunters double.
The Tigers had designated hitter Victor
Martinez in the lineup for the first time since
July 4. He had been out with a strained lower
right side, an ailment that led to him missing
the All-Star game.
NOTES: Cleveland manager Terry Francona, a week after LeBron James announced he
was coming home, was asked if he has bought
Cavaliers tickets. Im in the process of it.
There seems to be a little bit more of a waiting
list now, he said. The Tigers have recalled
OF Andy Dirks from his rehab assignment because he has some soreness where he had back
surgery. Indians OF Michael Bourn, who
is on the DL with a strained left hamstring, is
expected to join the team for its next series that
starts Monday at Minnesota.

McIlroy builds
a 4-shot lead at
British Open
BY DOUG FERGUSOn
AP Golf Writer

BY TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer

HOYLAKE, England (AP) Rory McIlroy

only saw birdies at Royal Liverpool, mostly on his
scorecard, and even one pheasant that trotted across
the eighth green as he was lining up a putt. That
was but a minor interruption in his command performance Friday in the British Open.
Once he made a birdie, and then another, nothing
could stop McIlroy.
Not another collapse in the second round. Not
anyone in the field. And certainly not Tiger Woods.
After a bogey on his opening hole stirred memories of another Black Friday, McIlroy looked more
like the Boy Wonder who won two majors in a runaway. With three birdies in his last four holes, he
posted a second straight 6-under 66 to build a fourshot lead over Dustin Johnson.
McIlroy spoke of an inner peace, and the two
secret words that triggered his powerful swing and
set up birdie chances on just about every hole.
People call it the zone, people call it whatever,
he said. Its just a state of mind where you think
clearly. Everything seems to be on the right track.
Ive always said, whenever you play this well, you
always wonder how youve played so badly before.
And whenever youve played so badly, you always
wonder how you play so well. Im happy where my
game is at the minute. And hopefully, I can just keep
up the solid play for another couple of days.
Woods is fortunate to even play for two more
days.
He started the second round only three shots behind. He finished it on the 18th hole, standing over a
6-foot birdie putt just to avoid missing back-to-back
cuts for the first time in his career. Woods made the
putt for a 77, matching his second-worst round as a
pro in the British Open.
Woods hit driver five times four more than
he hit all week when he won at Royal Liverpool in
2006. None found the fairway. Woods was 14 shots
out of the lead and still thought he had a chance,
referring to Paul Lawrie making up 10 shots in one
round to win at Carnoustie in 1999.
That was against Jean Van de Velde. This is Rory
McIlroy, who has won both his majors by eight
shots.
Two 66s from Rory is a bit special, but he is just
that he is a bit special, Graeme McDowell said.
So hes going to be tough to catch this weekend if
he keeps that up.
McIlroy was at 12-under 204 the same 36hole score of Woods in 2006.

CLEVELAND (AP)
LeBron James has to make
another big decision.
The NBA superstar turned
to social media Friday to help
him choose which number
hell wear next season with
the Cavaliers. James wrote 6
or 23. on his Twitter account and posted photos on
Instagram of him wearing No.
6 and No. 23 wine and gold
Cavs jerseys.
James wore No. 6 during
his four seasons with Miami
and also on the U.S. Olympic
team. He used No. 23 in high
school and during seven seasons in Cleveland.
James has had the topselling jersey in the NBA six
times during his career.
His return to Cleveland has
given the city a boost, and the
Cavs quickly sold out their
seasons tickets in the hours after his announcement. James
signed a two-year, $42.1 million contract last week.
The 29-year-old will be
welcomed back to his hometown of Akron on Aug. 8,
his familys foundation announced Friday. The Welcome Home LeBron Community Rally will be held
at InfoCision Stadium on the
University of Akrons campus.
The rally, following James
annual Wheels for Education event, will be James
first public appearance since
he chose to re-sign with the
Cavaliers over the Heat.
James recently returned
from Brazil, where he watched
the World Cup final between
Germany and Argentina. Hes
scheduled to take a Nikesponsored trip to China in the
next few weeks.

Dustin Johnson birdied the last two holes for a
65, the low score of the week. That ordinarily would
put him in the last group with McIlroy, except they
will have company in a historic decision at golfs
oldest championship. Because of a nasty storm approaching England, the Open will go to threesomes
teeing off on both sides Saturday.
Francesco Molinari (70) will join them. He was
part of a large group at 6-under 210 that included
Rickie Fowler (69), Sergio Garcia (70), Charl
Schwartzel (67), Louis Oosthuizen (68) and Ryan
Moore (68).

Johnson had a chance at the claret jug three

years ago until a 2-iron that went out-of-bounds on
the 14th hole at Royal St. Georges. He also lost a
three-shot lead in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach,
and missed out on a playoff at Whistling Straits for
grounding his club in sand at the 2010 PGA Championship.
Im glad and Im in the last group, Johnson said.
Just go out there and try to shoot a big number.

Battered Reds drop second half opener

BY MIKE FITZpATRICK
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK (AP) Jacoby Ellsbury hit a two-run homer, and David
Phelps pitched the Yankees to a fast
start in the second half, leading New
York to a 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati
Reds on Friday night.
Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran
had two-out RBIs for the Yankees, who
began a 10-game homestand by winning the opener of an interleague series
against a National League contender.
New York, with a major league-high 40
home games after the All-Star break,
improved to 19-23 at Yankee Stadium.
Dellin Betances struck out three in 1
2-3 perfect innings, and David Robertson got three outs for his 24th save in
26 chances.
Phelps (4-4) gave up three runs
two earned and six hits in 6 1-3 innings against a lineup missing injured
thumpers Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips. The right-hander struck out seven
and walked one for his first win since
June 19 against Toronto, which preceded four straight no-decisions.
It was the kind of performance New

York needs from the unheralded fill-ins

in its injury-ravaged rotation. Before the
game, general manager Brian Cashman
announced that left-hander CC Sabathia
is scheduled for surgery on his right
knee Wednesday ending any hope of
him returning this year.
Brayan Pena, subbing for Votto at
first base, homered twice for the Reds.
Mike Leake (7-8) allowed four runs and
eight hits in seven innings.
With the score tied 2-all, Derek Jeter
singled to start the fifth, and Ellsbury
lined a 1-1 pitch to the short porch in
right field for his seventh home run.
Brett Gardner was hit on the left foot
by Leakes third pitch. Shaken up a bit,
he was checked by manager Joe Girardi
and a trainer before remaining in the
game.
Gardner stole second and scored on
McCanns two-out double.
Jeters leadoff single in the third deflected off third baseman Todd Frazier.
Ellsbury also singled before Beltran, just
activated from the seven-day concussion
list, came through with a two-out single.
Pena connected off Phelps to start
the third and seventh for his first career
multihomer game.

Cincinnati tied it at 2 in the fourth,

capitalizing on errors by Brian Roberts
at second base and Jeter at shortstop.
Devin Mesoraco had an RBI grounder,
but Phelps prevented further damage.
NOTES: Cincinnati will start AllStar pitchers in the final two games of
the series. RHP Alfredo Simon (12-3,
2.70 ERA) goes Saturday, when RHP
Brandon McCarthy makes his home debut for the Yankees. RHP Johnny Cueto
(10-6, 2.13) faces New York RHP Hiroki Kuroda (6-6, 4.10) on Sunday.
Votto is eligible to come off the disabled
list Monday, but there is no timetable for
his return from a strained muscle above
his left knee. Skip Schumaker hopes
to return from a concussion this weekend. Jeter made his 2,610th career
start at shortstop, passing Omar Vizquel
for the most in major league history.
The Yankees announced they will honor Jeter during a ceremony before their
Sept. 7 home game against Kansas City.
Jeter is retiring after this season.
Beltran also beat the shift with a checkswing double down the third-base line.
It was the 15th anniversary of David
Cones perfect game at Yankee Stadium.

Cavs hounded by
Love trade rumors

Fish Ohio report

By JON KRAWCZyNSKI
AP Basketball Writer
LAS VEGAS (AP) Andrew Wiggins came to summer
league to get an early education on the NBA game, from
playing against better competition to learning about what his
new coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers will demand of him
as a pro.
The 19-year-old Canadian is also receiving a crash course in
the NBA rumor mill.
Since he arrived in Las Vegas and found out LeBron James
was coming to Cleveland with him, Wiggins has heard his
name brought up in possible trade scenarios as the Cavaliers
pursue Minnesota All-Star Kevin Love. They continued on
Thursday, with several outlets reporting that the Cavaliers have
decided to make the No. 1 overall pick available, a prerequisite
from the Timberwolves to get any deal for Love done.
But two people familiar with the situation told The
Associated Press that the Cavaliers position has remained
unchanged and that no offer including Wiggins has been made
to Minnesota. The people requested anonymity because neither
team was publicly commenting on trade talks.
Rumors are rumors. Thats why they call them rumors,
Cavs coach David Blatt said. Sooner or later in ones career,
youre going to have to deal with it. If he has to deal with it now,
then so be it. Its summer league. Hes learning everything as
he goes along.
Wiggins scored 21 points in 31 minutes on Thursday night
in a loss to the Houston Rockets. He showcased his superior
athleticism by creating mismatches and getting to the free
throw line at will, making 15 of 20 free throws and getting one
jaw-dropping, chase-down block in transition.
Several fans made remarks during the game about the
Cavaliers getting Love, but Wiggins was unfazed. He was
unavailable to reporters after the game, but Blatt said he felt no
need to talk to him about the speculation.
What youve got to like about the kid is that it doesnt make
a difference if its the fourth game of summer league in seven
or eight days, or if people are keying on him or the crowd has
funny things to say to him, Blatt said. He goes out there and
really plays and has a nice calm about him and a real good
demeanor. Andrews going to be a high-level player. Its good
to see.
The Cavaliers and Timberwolves have been engaged in
discussions since before the draft for Love, who can opt out
of his contract next summer. That stipulation gives Love

tremendous influence on where he ends up, and he initially
balked at joining a Cavaliers team that appeared to be in
rebuilding mode after missing the playoffs and firing coach
Mike Brown.
That all changed when James decided last week to leave
the Miami Heat and return to Cleveland, where the Akron
native played for the first seven seasons of his career. James
signing changed Loves mind about going to Cleveland and the
Cavaliers again started conversations with the Wolves.
General manager David Griffin, Blatt and owner Dan
Gilbert have to this point refused to include Wiggins in any
offer.
That has been a deal-breaker for the Wolves, who want
Wiggins to headline any package that the Cavs would offer.

Star rookies set to take NFL stage

By BARRy WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK (AP) The

NFL is back.
Some training camps open
this weekend, and the first
preseason game is Aug. 3, at
the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Certainly, a Vince Lombardi Trophy is hard to see
through the haze of summertime heat and humidity. Even
opening day is still a long way
off, but the preseason will be
here soon.
Here are some things to
watch for during the NFL preseason:
RULES CHANGES: A
few alterations will be noticeable, and fans will have to
look hard for the others.
Extra-point kicks in the
first two exhibition games
(three for the Bills and Giants)
will come from the 15-yard
line. Commissioner Roger
Goodell has suggested that
conversions need more excitement. But even from that distance, fewer than 10 percent of
kicks fail.
When theres a loose ball
in the field of play, the recovery now can undergo video
review. Also, when the referee uses review, there will be
consultation with the leagues
officiating department in New
York. The ref still has final
say.
The clock wont stop momentarily after a sack outside
of two minutes remaining in a
half. And, to Saints tight end
Jimmy Grahams chagrin, no
more dunking over the cross-

bar to celebrate a touchdown.

ALREADY
FAMOUS
ROOKIES: With LeBron
James return, Johnny Football might not be the top star
in Cleveland, but Manziel will
still get plenty of attention for
what he does on and off the
field this summer.
Jadeveon Clowney, when
he recovers from hernia surgery, will dominate the headlines in Houston. So much is
expected of the top overall
pick that if he doesnt look
like a star in the preseason,
the critics will be chirping.
NEW BOSSES: Houstons Bill OBrien is one of
seven new head coaches in the
league. His task might be the
most difficult, taking a team
that lost its final 14 games in
2013 and straightening it out.
Then again, all of the new
coaches have mighty challenges, or else their new teams
would not have made changes.
Jay Gruden is in Washington needing to find a way to
keep QB Robert Griffin III
healthy. Mike Zimmer cant
be sure who he can rely on in
Minnesota other than star running back Adrian Peterson.
Mike Pettine has the Johnny Football festival in Cleveland; Lovie Smith has a drastically altered roster in Tampa;
and Jim Caldwell inherits a
team in need of discipline in
Detroit.
Ken Whisenhunt, who
helped turn Arizona into a Super Bowl team, landed in Tennessee and might have the best
shot at fast improvement if he
can get the offense to click.

Teens homebody parents prefer to lead a quiet life

DEAR ABBY: Neither of
my parents do anything for
fun. When Dad comes home
from work, he either reads the
newspaper or takes a nap. If
Mom has free time after finishing the housework or running errands, she watches the
news on TV or goes to bed
early.
I never thought it was unusual because it has been
this way since I was growing
up. But once I was in high
school, I started hearing classmates talk about their parents
friends or hobbies and I realized my parents are different.
They dont even listen to music or read books.
When I want to go out with
friends, my parents act annoyed and wonder why I want
to go out instead of staying at
home. Are there other people

Dear
abby
with
Jeanne
Phillips
out there like this, or are my
folks unusual? MYSTIFIED IN MAINE
DEAR MYSTIFIED: At
the end of a busy day, many
people want to simply unwind
rather than look for things
to do. Reading the newspaper, napping or watching the
television news are some of
the ways they do that. While
your parents may be more introverted than those of your
classmates, I dont think they

are particularly unusual. The

question you should ask yourself is, Is their relationship
working for them? And if the
answer is yes, be glad. Whats
natural for some families isnt
for everyone, and neither is
their idea of whats fun.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: Im a
15-year-old girl and my favorite teacher, Mr. Brown,
is going to another state with
some other teachers to start
a new school. Ill miss him
dearly because he is funny
and charismatic. We have an
average student-teacher relationship, but I still would like
to stay in contact with him
and see how hes doing. Is
there any way I can maintain
our relationship and contact
him on my own to show that I
miss him? TEEN IN NEW

HAVEN
DEAR TEEN: If he hasnt
already left your district, I
suppose you could tell him he
has been your favorite teacher
and ask for his email address.
He may be willing to share
it with you, but if he and the
other teachers are starting a
new school, you can bet they
are going to be extremely busy
and focused on that so he
may not be able to respond as
often as you might wish.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: My husband
and I were invited to a friends
house for dinner. When I asked
her if I could bring anything,
the hostess handed me a cookbook and said she had marked
two items I should make and
bring. When I looked at them,
I was shocked.
She was asking me to bake

bread and make a salad. The

bread had many ingredients,
and I have never made bread
from scratch. I dont even
own a stand mixer. The salad
recipe was also complicated.
Was I unreasonable to decline
the invitation? The ingredients alone were going to cost
me at least $30, and the stress
was more than I was willing
to take on. AGHAST IN
ARIZONA
DEAR AGHAST: I think
you cut off your nose to spite
your face. All you had to do
was level with your hostess
and tell her you had never
baked bread and didnt have
the necessary equipment
and that you were prepared
to make her a SIMPLE salad.
What was she going to do, disinvite you?

WASHINGTON (AP) Average U.S. mortgage rates declined slightly this week with rates remaining near historic
lows.
Mortgage company Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the
nationwide average for a 30-year loan dipped to 4.13 percent,
down from 4.15 percent last week. The average for the 15-year
mortgage, a popular choice for people who are refinancing,
edged down to 3.23 percent, compared with 3.24 percent last
week.
Mortgage rates are below the levels of a year ago, having
fallen in recent weeks after climbing last summer when the
Federal Reserve began talking about reducing the monthly
bond purchases it was making to keep long-term rates low.
Rates on one-year adjustable rate mortgages were 2.39 percent this week, down from 2.40 percent last week, while rates
on five-year adjustable rate mortgages were 2.97 percent, down
from 2.99 percent last week.
At 4.13 percent, the rate on a 30-year mortgage is down
from 4.53 percent at the beginning of this year. Rates have
fallen modestly even though the Fed has been trimming its
monthly bond purchases. Fed Chair Janet Yellen told Congress
this week that the purchases will likely end altogether at the
end of October.
But at the same time, Yellen said during congressional testimony that the Fed still sees the need to keep its benchmark
short-term rate at a record low near zero to give the economy
support.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys
lenders across the country 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 was 0.6 point, down
from 0.7 point last week. The fee for a 15-year mortgage was
0.5 point, down from 0.6 point last week.
The average charge for a five-year adjustable rate mortgage
was 0.4 point, unchanged from last week. For a one-year ARM,
the charge was also 0.4 point, also unchanged from last week.

Credible probe
sought in
downing of
Malaysian jet
ROZSYPNE,
Ukraine
(AP) World leaders demanded Friday that proRussia rebels who control the
eastern Ukraine crash site of
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17
give immediate, unfettered
access to independent investigators to determine who shot
down the plane.
At an emergency meeting
of the U.N. Security Council,
the U.S. pointed blame at the
separatists, saying Washington believes the jetliner carrying 298 people, including 80
children, likely was downed
by an SA-11 missile, and we
cannot rule out technical assistance from Russian personnel.
Both the White House and
the Kremlin called for peace
talks in the conflict between
Ukrainian government forces and Russian-speaking
separatists who seek closer
ties to Moscow. Heavy fighting was reported less than
100 kilometers (60 miles)
from the crash site, with an
estimated 20 civilians reported killed.
Emergency workers and
local coal miners recovered
bodies from grasslands and
fields of sunflowers, where the
wreckage of the Boeing 777
fell Thursday.
About 30 officials, mostly
from the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe, arrived at the crash site
between the villages of Rozsypne and Hrabove, about 40
kilometers (25 miles) from the
Russian border.
The rebels allowed the
team to perform a very partial and superficial inspection. While the delegation
was leaving under orders
from the armed overseers,
two Ukrainian members lingered to look at a fragment
of the plane by a roadside,
only for a militiaman to fire
a warning shot in the air with
his Kalashnikov.
The dead passengers were
from nearly a dozen nations
including vacationers, students and a group heading to
an AIDS conference in Australia when the plane was
shot down Thursday while flying from Amsterdam to Kuala
Lumpur.
President Barack Obama,
disclosing that one American was among those killed,
called it a global tragedy.

Israel expands
Gaza ground
operation

STORY OF THE DAY

Massive wildfire
leads to evacuations

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip

(AP) Israeli troops pushed
deeper into Gaza on Friday
in a ground offensive that officials said could last up to
two weeks as the prime minister ordered the military to
prepare for a significantly
wider campaign.
The assault raised risks of a
bloodier conflict amid escalating Palestinian civilian casualties and the first Israeli military
death and brought questions
of how far Israel will go to cripple Gazas Hamas rulers.
Officially, the goal remains
to destroy a network of tunnels
militants use to infiltrate Israel
and attack civilians. In its first
day on the ground in Gaza, the
military said it took up positions
beyond the border, encountered
little resistance from Hamas
fighters and made steady progress in destroying the tunnels.
Military officials said the quick
work means that within a day or
two, Israeli leaders may already
have to decide whether to expand the operation.
With calls from Israeli
hard-liners to completely
crush Hamas, it remains unclear how far Israel will go in
an operation that has already
seen 299 Palestinians killed
in 11 days of intense Israeli
bombardment of the densely
populated coastal strip, a fifth
of them children.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) A large, wind-whipped wildfire in rural north-central Washington destroyed an estimated 100 homes, forced the evacuation of a small town and cut
power to most of the scenic Methow Valley.
A spokesman for the Carlton Complex Fire, Jacob McCann, said Friday that the fire ran quite a bit on Thursday
and officials were also able to get a better handle on its size.
It blackened 260 square miles by Friday morning, up dramatically from the last estimate of 28 square miles.
This is a very dynamic situation, said another fire
spokesman, Dan Omdal. Fire activity is really high. Things
are changing very quickly.
Officials say no injuries have been reported.
Authorities say the wildfire has already burned about 100
homes and prompted the evacuation of the small town of Pateros, home to about 650 people in Okanogan County. A hospital in nearby Brewster was also evacuated as a precaution.
Theres nobody in Pateros except a few stragglers
who stayed, Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said,
adding the fire was burning in the town, although the small
business district was believed intact.
Rogers said Friday morning that his team counted 30
homes and trailers destroyed in Pateros, another 40 in a
community just outside the town at Alta Lake and about 25
homes destroyed elsewhere in the county of about 40,000
people.
Two of my people lost their homes, Rogers said.
Rogers said the fire had jumped U.S. Highway 97 between
Brewster and Pateros and was burning along the Columbia.
Sections of several highways were closed in the county.
Early Friday, the Okanogan County Sheriffs dispatch office said the roughly 300 residents of the Chiliwist Valley,

about 15 miles north of Pateros, evacuated late Thursday
night.
Two major power lines, one feeding Pateros and one feeding Winthrop and Twisp, have burned, causing a widespread
power outage in the county, said Scott Miller, the countys
emergency manager.
Most of the Methow Valley from Carlton to Mazama was
without power after utility poles burned. The Methow Valley, about 180 miles east of Seattle, is a popular area for hiking and fishing.
About 100 miles to the south, the Chiwaukum Creek Fire
chased people from nearly 900 homes as it burned near the
Bavarian-themed village of Leavenworth.

Flow of child immigrants at border slowing for now

WASHINGTON (AP)
The flood of children crossing
the Mexican border illegally
and without their parents has
slowed down in recent weeks,
two senior Obama administration officials said Friday.
Border Patrol agents in the
Rio Grande Valley in South
Texas have found fewer than
500 children crossing the border illegally this week, the officials said. Last month, agents
arrested as many as 2,000 child
immigrants a week.
The Obama administration has been struggling to
deal with a flood of more than
57,000 children traveling alone
since Oct. 1. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said
earlier this month that as many
as 90,000 unaccompanied child
immigrants could be apprehended by the end of the budget
year in September. Most of the
children are from Honduras, El
Salvador and Guatemala.

Protesters gather outside the Mexican Consulate, Friday, July 18, 2014, in
Austin, Texas. Prospects for action on the U.S.-Mexico border crisis faded
Thursday as lawmakers traded accusations rather than solutions, raising
chances that Congress will go into its summer recess without doing anything
about the tens of thousands of migrant children streaming into South Texas.

Barack Obama to ask Congress
to approve an emergency $3.7
billion spending bill to deal
with the situation he has called
an urgent humanitarian crisis.
The officials, who spoke on
the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized
to publicly discuss the latest
trends in border arrests, said
Friday its too soon to know
what has led to drop in border
arrests. They said illegal border
crossings along the Mexican
border tend to slow during the
summer.
Customs and Border Protection has launched a public
relations campaign to warn
would-be immigrants and their
families in Central America
that the trip to the U.S. border
is dangerous and immigrant
children will face deportation
after they are apprehended. But
since the trip through Mexico
can take weeks or even months,
recent border crossers are unlikely to have seen much of the
campaign.
