Water from recent storms lays at the edge of a field
off State Route 190. According to Van Wert County OSU
Extension Educator Dr. Curtis Young, farmers were willing
to take rain any way they could get it this week.
Rain soft or hard
welcomed by farmers
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
According to The Weather
Channel, Delphos and Limas
June rainfall as of Wednesday
was .91 inch of rain while
Van Wert got .74 inch. After
a dry spring, farmers were
glad to see the showers.
Were doing okay. Wed
like to see at least a half-inch
of rain each week for the
rest of the year, if we could
order it but right now, most
who have received rain wel-
comed it, Van Wert County
OSU Extension Educator Dr.
Curtis Young said. We were
getting close to looking pret-
ty hard for rain. Some areas
got a measurable amount and
some didnt. So, it was a little
spotty but Mondays rain was
nice. On Tuesday, we would
have preferred it come more
slowly than it did but we
werent being overly-particu-
lar. We just needed rain.
Young says most crops
have been planted for fall har-
vest but wheat will be taken
up early this year.
The vast majority of crops
have been planted. Corn was
finished by the first week of
June and the rest of the month
has been used for planting
soybeans. Things look rela-
tively good considering our
late start but we still antici-
pate less-than-desirable yield
at the end of the year. Wheat
is maturing incredibly fast.
The week we had with highs
in the 90s stopped the wheat
from developing further. It
caused the weakest plants
with no root system to die
almost instantly. So, this will
give us lower-than-average
yields, he concluded.
90-degree temperatures earlier in June stopped winter
wheat from developing further. Young said the wheat will
be harvested early this year.

Franklin roof main
project for city schools
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
Without truckloads of dis-
cretionary funds laying around,
area school districts are taking
it easy this summer. Leaders
in Ottoville, Fort Jennings and
the local parochial school all
say they are not conducting
any big maintenance projects
this year. However, the city
schools must replace the roof
at Franklin Elementary School
this summer. The project is
only getting started, so until
a bid is awarded, the districts
tab remains an unknown for
now.
The Franklin roof has
been there more than 20
years. It hasnt been replaced
since the late 80s, so were
replacing it, Superintendent
Jeff Price said. Bids are out
and should be coming in
within the week. We had
some leaks over the last cou-
ple years and have needed to
repair it at various times.
The roofs expectancy is 15
years and we stretched it
past 20 years. Weve been
pleased with it, so well put
the same product back on.
The district has also paid
some attention to part of its
high school campus.
We had some safety
issues with our practice
football field; a couple of
players got hurt last year
because we had some ruts
and holes in the field. So,
we reseeded it and reworked
it and realigned the goal
posts, he said. We hope
this will give us some flex-
ibility to play some junior
varsity and junior high
games out there. That way,
we can relieve some of the
wear and tear to the field at
Stadium Park.

Storms hit Kentucky Derby
track; horses, humans OK
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)
The famed Churchill
Downs horse race track,
longtime home to the run-
ning of the Kentucky Derby,
was hit by a possible tornado
Wednesday, knocking down
parts of barns and chasing out
horses that ran loose before
being corralled.
Hours after the storm hit,
officials had no reports of
injuries to humans or horses
at the track that draws the
attention of horse racing fans
worldwide the first Saturday
of each May.
Elsewhere in the city, high
water from torrential rains
briefly trapped a couple of
people in their cars, a mayors
spokesman said, and a hospi-
tal reported that it treated two
patients hit by falling trees.
The National Weather
Service said radar tracked a
confirmed tornado south of
downtown near the track and
the University of Louisville
campus about 8:10 p.m.
Though no races are run on
Wednesdays, a simulcast of
races elsewhere was being
shown at the track, and a
Texas Hold em poker tour-
nament was being held, offi-
cials said.
At least nine of the tracks
48 backside barns were dam-
aged, as was the chapel. The
barn damage, displacing
about 200 horses, was in an
area of the track where work-
ers live in apartments above
barns. One barn was flooded
by a water main break.
Its a hell of a mess back
here, track spokesman John
Asher said of the barn area
where the damage was con-
centrated.
Louisville fire Capt.
Salvador Melendez said safe
areas were found for the hors-
es overnight at the track. The
track said it was arranging
for the possible evacuation of
about 150 horses to the nearby
state fairgrounds. Keeneland
Racetrack in Lexington also
offered stall space if needed,
Asher said.
The powerful winds also
damaged living quarters for
about 100 people who work in
the stable area, and arrange-
ments were being made to
provide them temporary shel-
ter, the track said.
Much of the track was
spared, including the iconic
twin spires above the club-
house overlooking the finish
line that were apparently not
damaged, said track President
Kevin Flanery.
Clearly weve got several
barns with significant damage
and were just trying to make
sure people and the animals
are safe first, Flanery said.
Security guards told
reporters that some horses
had gotten loose for a time
but were later caught. At least
1,300 horses were stabled at
Churchill, said vice president
of racing Donnie Richardson.
Several people taking part
in the poker tournament said
they saw the rotation in the
clouds and then saw swirling
winds touch down along the
backstretch and skip diago-
nally through the barn area,
Asher said.
Few vacancies
for thousands of
food evacuees
MINOT, N.D. (AP)
Many of the thousands who
have fled their homes as the
Souris River spills into the
North Dakota city of Minot
have been scrambling to relo-
cate in a region that boasts
few vacancies in even the
best of times, thanks largely
to the states oil boom.
Officials said as many as
10,000 people had evacuated
Minot by Wednesday, and
while a few hundred were stay-
ing in temporary city shelters,
many others were staying
on friends couches, under
tents or even in vehicles.
Aquira Fritt, 23 years
old and 7 1/2 months preg-
nant, planned to spend the
night in a van with her boy-
friend and 5-year-old son.
There are no hotel rooms,
no campers to rent, noth-
ing, Fritt said Wednesday,
shortly before emergency sirens
blared to signal the evacuation
deadline. Its very stress-
ful and its very annoying.
Her son, Azzyah, con-
sidered it an adventure.
He thinks its a campout,
Fritt said. Hes happy he gets a
chance to use his sleeping bag.
The water is expected to
climb to record levels over
the coming days in parts of
this Air Force town as the
little-known waterway swells
from rain and snowmelt. Gov.
Jack Dalrymple warned that
releases planned to begin
today would be dramatic.
In two days time,
it will be a rapid, rapid
rise, Dalrymple said.
The river, which begins
in the Canadian province
of Saskatchewan and flows
for a short distance though
North Dakota, was all but
certain to inundate thousands
of homes and businesses
during the next week.

SANTA MONICA, Calif.
(AP) Boston mob boss
James Whitey Bulger was
captured near Los Angeles
16 years after his run from
the law sparked an interna-
tional manhunt and served as
a major embarrassment to the
FBI as their onetime infor-
mant eluded authorities.
The FBI finally caught
the 81-year-old Bulger at a
residence in Santa Monica
along with his longtime girl-
friend Catherine Greig on
Wednesday, just days after
the government launched a
publicity campaign to locate
the fugitive mobster, said
Steven Martinez, FBIs assis-
tant director in charge in Los
Angeles. The arrest was based
on a tip from the campaign,
he said.
Bulger, who was an
inspiration for the 2006
Martin Scorsese film, The
Departed, is wanted for his
alleged role in 19 murders. At
one time, he provided infor-
mation on a rival gang to
the FBI, then fled in January
1995 when a former agent
told him he was about to be
indicted.
The FBI had been con-
ducting surveillance in the
area where the arrest was
made, said police Sgt. Rudy
Flores, who gave no details
of the arrest. Agents swarmed
around Bulgers building late
Wednesday, hours after the
arrests in a neighborhood of
two and three-story apartment
buildings.
Bulger lived on the third
floor of The Princess Eugenia,
a three-story, 28-unit build-
ing of one and two-bedroom
apartments three blocks from
a bluff that overlooks the
Pacific Ocean. Neighbors said
the couple did not stand out.

EarthTalk
E - The Environmental
Magazine

Dear EarthTalk: Coastal
areas here in the U.S. have
taken a real beating in recent
years due to natural disas-
ters that many would argue
are due to changing climate.
Whats being done to safe-
guard these communities for
when, say, the next Katrina
hits?
Helen Kelman, Troy,
NY
Coastal regions in the U.S.
are more popular and more
heavily populated than ever.
But even before the effects of
global warming started to kick
in, reports the non-profit World
Resources Institute, more than
half of the coastal ecosystems
of the worldincluding the
vast majority of Americas
coastlines were reeling
from threats including habitat
destruction, sewage outflows,
industrial pollution and the
impacts of non-native species
introductions.
Recently, though, a string
of unprecedented natural disas-
ters, including hurricanes like
Katrina and tsunamis like that
which devastated Japan, has
made many people re-think the
wisdom of moving to the coast.
And the federal government has
begun to advocate that coastal
communities adopt tougher
building codes and zoning ordi-
nances, but there is little public
officials can do to deter people
from being drawn in by the lure
of the coast even as ice caps
melt, sea levels rise and storms
brew fiercer and fiercer.
Critics say the federal gov-
ernment should be doing more
to protect coastal areas which,
besides being attractive to home
buyers, are among the richest
storehouses of biodiversity we
have. But traditionally, such
responsibilities have fallen to
local and regional officials. In
the case of New Orleans fol-
lowing 2005s disastrous hurri-
cane season, the Louisiana state
legislature formed the Coastal
Protection and Restoration
Authority (CPRA) to protect,
conserve, restore and enhance
coastal wetlands, barrier shore-
lines and reefs so as to pro-
tect the city from the impacts
of future hurricanes. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers is
now working with Louisiana
authorities to implement
CPRAs master plan. Of course,
restoring wetlands and other
natural buffers that have been
decimated by a half century
of development and overpop-
ulation is no small task. Its
unfortunate that such plans only
come to pass after a disaster
of huge magnitude takes place,
instead of beforehand.
In response to such con-
cerns, green groups, consumer
advocates, taxpayer associa-
tions, insurance companies and
other organizations have come
together as Americans for Smart
Natural Catastrophe Policy
(also known as SmarterSafer.
org). Coalition members, which
include the Sierra Club, Liberty
Mutual Group, Americans for
Tax Reform, the United Services
Automobile Association and
others, have aligned behind
shared goals of restoring coastal
wetlands and increasing protec-
tion for barrier islands while
influencing local officials to
make smarter decisions about
where to allow development
in light of the expected effects
of climate change and other
problems.
The coalition applauds the
vision and work of CPRA in
Louisiana, and would like to
see such planning take place
in other U.S. coastal regions as
well. Furthermore, it is critical
of the federal government for
pumping funds into the National
Flood Insurance Program,
which it says only spreads the
costs of natural disasters around
instead of taking measures that
would prevent damage in the
first place. Such approaches,
the coalition argues, provide a
perverse incentive to encourage
development in risky coastal
areas and expose taxpayers,
including those who do not live
in at-risk coastal areas, to sig-
nificant financial costs.

Dear EarthTalk:
Radioactive rain recently
fell in Massachusetts, likely
due to Japans nuclear mess.
Given the threats of radia-
tion, wouldnt it be madness
now to continue with nuclear
power? How can President
Obama include nukes as part
of a clean energy agenda?
Bill Mason, Hartford, CT
In the wake of the
Fukushima disaster in Japan,
countries around the world that
were growing more bullish on
nuclear power are now recon-
sidering their future energy
investments. Germany has shut
down seven of its oldest nucle-
ar reactors and is conducting
safety studies on the remain-
ing facilities; those that dont
make the grade could be closed
permanently. Meanwhile, in
earthquake-prone Chile some
2,000 demonstrators marched
through the capital to protest
their governments enthusiasm
for nuclear power. And China,
the worlds fastest growing
nuclear energy developer, has
suspended the approval pro-
cess on 50 nuclear power plants
already on the drawing board,
and begun inspections on 13
existing plants.
But despite calls to shut-
ter the U.S. nuclear program,
President Obama remains com-
mitted to the industry despite
his stated opposition to it pre-
election. In December 2007,
Obama told reporters at a cam-
paign stop in Iowa: Until we
can make certain that nuclear
power plants are safe...I dont
think thats the best option,
adding that he was much more
keen on solar, wind, biodiesel
and other alternative fuels.
According to investiga-
tive journalist Karl Grossman,
Obama changed his tune on
nuclear as soon as he took office,
talking about safe, clean
nuclear power and push[ing]
for multi-billion dollar taxpayer
subsidies for the construction
of new nuclear plants. Right
away, Grossman says, Obama
brought in nuclear advocate
Steven Chu as energy secretary,
and two White House aides
that had been deeply involved
withthe utility operating more
nuclear power plants than any
other in the U.S., Exelon.
Undeterred by the Japanese
nuclear disaster, Obama
pledged just two weeks fol-
lowing the initial explosions at
the Fukushima Dai-ichi facil-
ity that nuclear power should
be revived in the U.S., as it
provides electricity without
adding carbon dioxide to the
atmosphere. He added that
he requested a comprehensive
safety review by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission to
ensure the safety of existing
facilities. Well incorporate
those conclusions and lessons
from Japan in designing and
building the next generation
of [nuclear] plants, Obama
added.
But just because nuclear
energy isnt a fossil fuel doesnt
make it green, given the ongo-
ing risk of radioactivity. Also,
reports the non-profit Beyond
Nuclear, Nuclear power is
counterproductive to efforts to
address climate change effec-
tively and in timefunding
diverted to new nuclear power
plants deprives real climate
change solutions, like solar,
wind and geothermal energy, of
essential resources.
Indeed, if policymakers
were able to divert the hundreds
of millions of dollars in subsi-
dies to the U.S. nuclear industry
every year to solar, wind and
geothermal developers, there is
no telling how quickly we could
innovate our way to sustainable
non-polluting energy indepen-
dence and put the specter of
nuclear power that much further
in our rearview mirror. But it
looks like as long as Obama
remains in office, nuclear will
remain a big part of our near
term energy future, damn the
torpedoes.

With the local economy
in an upswing, there was
more to celebrate Wednesday
night at the 2011 Van Wert
Economic Development
Annual Dinner held at
Willow Bend Country Club.
The Economic Development
Advisory Group handed out
its two special awards to cap
off the evening.
The Enterprise of the
Year Award was presented to
Cooper Farms Cooked Meats
for the companys presence and
involvement in the community.
The company itself began back
in 1938 and has continued as
a family business through the
years. The Van Wert facility
opened in 1991 and has recently
expanded by 50,000 square feet
which will bring another 150
jobs to the area. The company
currently has 1,400 employees
at its various facilities through-
out the area.
The nights other award, the
Volunteer of the Year Award
went to Bernie Nieman, who
admitted he was totally sur-
prised by the honor. Im an
adoptive native of this town. I
was born and raised in a town
similar to this over in Illinois,
but Ive been here for about
35 years. The people of Van
Wert know how to get things
done. Im just here help them
try to do that too, he said.
Nieman was formerly an
executive with Federal Mogul
and is active with many
organizations, including the
Economic Development
Advisory Group, Van Wert
Area Chamber of Commerce,
the Industrial Development
Corporation, Community
Improvement Corporation,
St. Mary of the Assumption
Church, Niswonger
Performing Arts Center, Van
Wert Hospital, Elks, Habitat
For Humanity and has been a
part of many other projects.
Special speakers for the
evening were Dan Litchfield,
Iberdrola Renewables busi-
ness developer, and Sarah
Distelrath, Horizon Wind
Energy project manager. The
pair updated those attend-
ing on the two wind farms
being constructed in the area.
Litchfield reported that Blue
Creek Wind Farm has 12 of
152 wind turbines already
constructed. That project
should be online by the end
of the year.
According to Distelrath,
all 55 turbines of the Timber
Road II Wind Farm have been
erected with only connections
to be made. That project is on
track to be on line by July 1.
Both speakers spoke
about future projects in the
works. Litchfield revealed
that Iberdrola is planning
Prairie Creek Wind Farm in
Paulding County and Dog
Creek Wind Farm in eastern
Van Wert County. The Prairie
Creek project would add 100
turbines to Paulding County
while Dog Creek would be
made up of 150 turbines.
Land is currently being leased
for Dog Creek Wind Farm.
Horizon has more projects
planned for the area, accord-
ing to Distelrath, including
a fourth phase which will
include 25 turbines in Van
Wert County. Construction
on the other phases of Timber
Road Wind Farm will not
begin until Horizon has sold
the power. Electricity gen-
erated by the 55 turbines
already built is being sold to
American Electric Power.
Iberdrola has sold one-
third of the power generated
by the Blue Creek Wind Farm
and is seeking more buyers
on the open market.
Van Wert County
Economic Development
Director Nancy Bowen gave
an overall update on condi-
tions in the area, noting the
progress on the Van Wert
Super Site preparations and
the finalizing of funding to
make the site job-ready.
Van Wert City Safety-
Service Director Jay Fleming
hosted the evening in his
capacity as Chairman of
the Economic Development
Advisory Group. At the end
of the evening, Fleming
turned over the gavel, giv-
ing leadership of the group
for the next year to Delphos
Safety-Service Director Greg
Berquist.
House opts not
to put health
overhaul to vote
COLUMBUS (AP) A
resolution to let voters decide
whether Ohio should opt out
of requirements under the fed-
eral health care overhaul has
fallen one vote short of pas-
sage in the House.
The House voted 59-39
along party lines Wednesday.
Republicans hold 59 of the
99 seats but needed 60 votes
to pass it. One Democrat was
absent.
The measure would have
put an issue on the ballot to
prohibit any law from forc-
ing Ohioans to participate
in a health care system. The
National Conference of State
Legislatures says lawmak-
ers in Alabama, Florida and
Wyoming are putting similar
measures before voters next
year.
Meanwhile, tea party
groups are gathering signa-
tures for a ballot measure to
exempt Ohio from parts of the
federal law requiring individ-
uals and companies to choose
certain health insurance car-
riers.

The sales tax stamps are on the way out. The Ohio Senate
has virtually completed legislative action on a bill to wipe out
the pre-paid stamps which have been in use in the state for 26
years. Of 38 states which have a sales or direct use tax, Ohio
is the only one that still uses the stamps which were first put
into use in 1935.
It was announced recently that Edmund Bunny Imber
will retire from the United States Postal Service later this

WASHINGTON (AP)
Increasingly troubled by the
economy, more Americans are
convinced the country is head-
ed in the wrong direction and
fewer approve of President
Barack Obamas economic
stewardship. The sentiments
pose a new complication for
the presidents re-election
hopes and create an obstacle
to a recovery that relies in part
on public perceptions.
For the first time this year,
less than 50 percent of respon-
dents to an Associated Press-
GfK poll say Obama deserves
re-election. The new poll
shows a virtual split of 48-47
in favor, raising a new hurdle
for the president as economic
concerns strip away the gloss
he briefly gained in May after
the death of Osama bin Laden.
Whats more, four out of
five now believe the economy
is in poor shape, with 36 per-
cent calling it very poor, a
new high in AP-GfK polling.
Yet, 16 months before the
November 2012 elections,
Obama also is perceived favor-
ably by 56 percent of respon-
dents and 52 percent approve
his job performance overall.
For Obama, poll results are a
mixed appraisal. In many ways
they show him returning to the
public ratings he faced before
bin Ladens death created a
spike of approval. As such, they
indicate a certain resilience
an ability to hold steady even as
economic indicators worsen.
But the new AP-GfK poll
also reveals trouble spots for
Obama.
It shows a sharp spike in
concern about unemploy-
ment. Overall, 86 percent call
it extremely or very impor-
tant, the highest level since
just before the 2010 elections.
Nearly four in 10 expect there
to be an increase in the num-
ber of people unemployed
in the country over the next
year, while 23 percent say they
expect unemployment to drop.
In previous AP-GfK polling,
those figures were about even.
Obama has hit new unwel-
come highs in public disap-
proval over his handling of
the economy in general and
unemployment in particular
according to the poll. In
addition, more disapprove of
his handling of health care and
the federal budget deficit than
in the past.
The erosion of approval is
primarily among women. Last
month, 57 percent said they felt
he deserved re-election, a figure
that dipped to 48 percent this
month. The decline came almost
entirely among white women,
just 37 percent of whom say
Obama deserves re-election in
the new poll. He lost support
among self-described indepen-
dents, from 62 percent approval
last month to 43 percent now,
his lowest since June 2010.
With the economy clearly
looming as the top political
issue in his re-election, the
president has been travel-
ing every week for months
to campaign battleground
states to promote job initia-
tives. He acknowledges the
sluggishness of the recovery,
illustrated by Mays uptick in
unemployment.
The price of gasoline at
the pump has declined a bit
recently though it is still nearly
90 cents higher on average
than a year ago. White House
officials are also monitoring
the precarious fiscal situation
in Greece, where a default by
the government could send
damaging financial tremors
across world markets.

WASHINGTON
Congressional Democrats
are leading the criticism of
President Barack Obamas
troop withdrawal plan from
Afghanistan, arguing that his
timeline for bringing 33,000
U.S. troops home by next
summer isnt fast enough.
An initial drawdown of
10,000 troops is expected to
take place in two phases, with
5,000 troops coming home
this summer and 5,000 more
by the end of the year. An
additional 20,000-plus are to
follow by September 2012.
Democrats said that wasnt
adequate.
It has been the hope of
many in Congress and across
the country that the full draw-
down of U.S. forces would
happen sooner than the presi-
dent laid out and we
will continue to press for a
better outcome, said House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., leading a chorus of
disgruntled Democrats who
took the president to task,
albeit politely.
From across the aisle,
the Republican response to
Obamas timeline for with-
drawing tens of thousands of
troops was measured. House
Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, warned Obama not
to sacrifice the gains the U.S.
has made in Afghanistan,
while Arizona Sen. John
McCain said the drawdown
was too rash.
This is not the modest
withdrawal that I and oth-
ers had hoped for and advo-
cated, McCain said in a
statement following Obamas
prime-time address to the
nation Wednesday night.
It seems the president is
trying to find a political solu-
tion with a military compo-
nent to it, when it needs to
be the other way around,
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich.,
the chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee, said.
Potential GOP presidential
candidates also were quick
to weigh in with criticism of
Obamas plan.
Former Massachusetts
Gov. Mitt Romney accused
Obama of proposing an
arbitrary timetable and said
the decision on withdraw-
ing troops should not be
based on politics or econom-
ics. Former Utah Gov. Jon
Huntsman said the approach
in Afghanistan should be
focused on counterterrorism,
which requires significantly
fewer boots on the ground
than the president discussed
tonight.
As he works to sell his
withdrawal plan, Obama on
today was to visit Fort Drum,
the upstate New York Army
post that is home to the 10th
Mountain Division, one of
the most frequently deployed
divisions to Afghanistan.
Obama ordered more than
30,000 surge forces to
Afghanistan in 2009 in order
to rescue a flailing effort,
and promised to start bring-
ing them home in July of this
year. In his speech Wednesday
night, he declared: The tide
of war is receding.
Even after the surge forc-
es leave Afghanistan, 70,000
U.S. troops will remain in
an unstable country, fighting
in a war bound to see more
Americans killed. Obama said
they will leave at a steady
pace, but the U.S. combat
mission is not expected to
end until December 2014
and even then, a sizable
and enduring contingent may
remain in a different role.
Obamas announcement
from the White House came
in a perilous political envi-
ronment. Most Americans
oppose the war in Afghanistan
and are far more concerned
about the teetering economic
recovery at home.
At least 1,500 members
of the U.S. military have
died and 12,000 have been
wounded since the war began
in late 2001. The financial
cost of the war has passed
$440 billion and is on the
rise, jumping to $120 billion
a year. Those costs have risen
in importance as a divided
U.S. government struggles to
contain its soaring debt.

WASHINGTON The
rapidly growing nation-
al debt could soon spark a
European-style crisis unless
Congress moves forcefully,
the Congressional Budget
Office warned Wednesday in
a study that underscored the
stakes for Vice President Joe
Biden and negotiators work-
ing on a sweeping plan to
reduce red ink.
Republicans seized on the
report to renew their push to
reduce costs in federal benefit
programs such as Medicare.
The report said the nations
debt is on pace to equal the
annual size of the economy
within a decade. It warned
of a possible sudden fiscal
crisis if it is left unchecked,
with investors losing faith in
the U.S. governments ability
to manage its fiscal affairs.
At issue is the $9.7 trillion
of U.S. debt held by inves-
tors and foreign countries like
China, the measure that econ-
omists deem most important.
Government accounts like the
Social Security trust funds
account for the rest of the
$14.3 trillion total debt.
The study reverberated
throughout the Capitol as
Biden and senior lawmakers
spent several hours behind
closed doors. The talks are
aimed at outlining about $2
trillion in deficit cuts over
the next decade, part of an
attempt to generate enough
support in Congress to allow
the Treasury to take on new
borrowing.
Biden made no comment
as he departed, except to say
the group would meet again
on today and probably Friday
as well.
President Barack Obama
plans to meet with House
Democratic leaders today to
discuss the status of the ongo-
ing talks. The meeting comes
as Democrats want the presi-
dent to rule out Medicare ben-
efit cuts as part of any budget
deal.
The CBO, the nonpartisan
agency that calculates the cost
and economic impact of legis-
lation and government policy,
says the nations rapidly grow-
ing debt burden increases the
probability of a fiscal crisis in
which investors lose faith in
U.S. bonds and force policy-
makers to make drastic spend-
ing cuts or tax increases.
As Congress debates the
presidents request for an
increase in the statutory debt
ceiling, the CBO warns of
a more ominous credit cliff
a sudden drop-off in our
ability to borrow imposed by
credit markets in a state of
panic, said House Budget
Committee Chairman Paul
Ryan, R-Wis.
The findings arent dra-
matically new, but the budget
offices analysis underscores
the magnitude of the nations
fiscal problems as negotia-
tors struggle to lift the cur-
rent $14.3 trillion debt limit
and avoid a first-ever, mar-
ket-rattling default on U.S.
obligations. The Biden-led
talks have proceeded slowly
and are at a critical stage, as
Democrats and Republicans
remain at loggerheads over
revenues and domestic pro-
grams like Medicare and
Medicaid. Officials said little
if any progress was made dur-
ing Wednesdays session.
With Republicans insisting
that the level of deficit cuts at
least equal the amount of any
increase in the debt limit, it
would take more than $2 tril-
lion in cuts to carry past next
years elections. House GOP
leaders have made it plain
they only want a single vote
before the elections.
That $2 trillion-plus goal
is proving elusive. And a
top Senate Democrat warned
Wednesday that it would be
insufficient anyway.
While I am encouraged
by the bipartisan nature of the
leadership negotiations being
led by Vice President Biden,
I am concerned by reports
the group may be focusing
on a limited package that will
not fundamentally change
the fiscal trajectory of the
nation, said Senate budget
Committee Chairman Kent
Conrad, D-N.D. That would
be a mistake.

DES MOINES, Iowa
When Michele Bachmann
formally kicks off her bid for
the White House on Monday
in Iowa, shell do so after
allowing precious weeks to
pass without having estab-
lished the presence needed
in the state to woo the GOP
activists considered key to
winning its leadoff caucuses.
Bachmanns slow open
has left political players in
the state wondering if the
Republican congresswoman
from Minnesota has the com-
mitment to build the kind of
grass-roots campaign and
work to win voters in face-
to-face meetings that have led
past winners of the Iowa cau-
cuses to success.
Her absence also has
allowed Texas Gov. Rick
Perry, whose no-nonsense
style attracts social conser-
vatives who might support
Bachmann, to creep into the
Iowa discussion and begin to
set up a campaign infrastruc-
ture in the event he gets in.
Missed opportunity and
lost potential she had
months of free rein here to
organize and mobilize, said
Chuck Laudner, a former Iowa
Republican Party executive
director and longtime aide to
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve
King. Now, it opens the door
to Rick Perry. Theyve given
him fertile ground to put an
organization together.
Securing a foothold in Iowa
is important for Bachmann.
Shes both a native of the
state, having grown up in
Waterloo, and a neighbor,
having moved to Minnesota at
age 12. Her popularity among
Christian conservatives and
tea party activists also make
her a natural fit for the caucus
electorate.
A strong finish in Iowa
for the three-term congress-
woman also could launch her
as the key challenger to estab-
lishment Republicans in later
nominating contests, most
notably former Massachusetts
Gov. Mitt Romney, who hopes
to draw on the same home-
town relationship in New
Hampshire that Bachmann
has in Iowa.
Winning the Iowa cau-
cuses traditionally requires a
candidate to personally court
the activists and party die-
hards who will attend the pre-
cinct-level political meetings
on caucus night and literally
stand up for their candidate.
Successful candidates typi-
cally hire skilled organizers
who know how to navigate
the states party landscape.
Some county-level
Republican leaders said they
have seen little evidence of
outreach by Bachmann at a
time when other candidates
have dispatched staff to their
monthly meetings.
I havent seen or heard
anything out of the Bachmann
camp I havent initiated,
said Ann Trimble-Ray, party
chairwoman in GOP-heavy
Sac County.
Veteran Iowa GOP opera-
tives unaffiliated with any
of the campaigns, such as
Grant Young of Des Moines,
wonder why Bachmanns
Iowa campaign director,
Kent Sorenson, flew to New
Hampshire for the June 13
debate. Bachmann would
have been better served keep-
ing Sorenson in Iowa, where
he could point activists to the
rave reviews she received for
her performance, he said.
Later that week, Bachmann
also had no campaign staff at
a deficit conference in Des
Moines attended by roughly
1,000 fiscal conservatives.

AGRIBUSINESS
Rural well water safety
By Glen Arnold,
Ag educator,
OSU Extension,
Putnam County
The transmission of dis-
ease through drinking water
is an important concern.
Thats why OSU Extension
recommends that private
wells be tested annually for
total coliform bacteria. Many
years ago before scientists
understood disease transmis-
sion, human illnesses such as
typhoid, dysentery, cholera,
hepatitis, and giardiasis were
transmitted through drinking
water contaminated by waste
when outhouses or animals
were located next to hand
dug wells.
Coliform bacteria are com-
mon in the digestive systems
of humans, pets and live-
stock. They are also found in
the soil and in decaying plant
material. While they do not
cause disease, their presence
in a water test is cause for
concern as it could indicate a
more serious kind of contam-
ination. Iron bacteria that can
form a reddish-brown slime
that coats the inside of water
pipes is not a health concern
but can also cause a total
coliform bacteria test to be
positive. Almost any repairs
made to a water well that
involves pulling the pump or
water lines can also cause
the water to test positive for
coliform bacteria
Your local health depart-
ment should be contacted to
conduct a total coliform bac-
teria test. It costs about $35.
They have the sterile con-
tainers and know the proper
procedure for taking water
samples. The results will
either be positive or negative.
If a positive test result occurs,
additional testing is usually
done to determine whether
the bacteria present is from
soil, decaying plant material,
or fecal bacteria such as e-coli
from human or animal waste.
Studies have shown that
about one in four water wells
will test positive for coliform
bacteria. About seven out of
ten springs and cisterns will
also test positive.
When a water well tests
positive for total coliform
bacteria it usually possible
to solve the problem through
a process called shock chlo-
rination. This involves pour-
ing the correct amount of
laundry bleach into the well
and then allowing it to kill
the bacteria both in the well
and the water lines. Your
local health department or
Extension office has a hand-
out on this procedure which
has recommendations on
the proper amount of bleach
to use. A few days later
the well can be tested for
coliform bacteria again to
be certain the chlorination
worked.
More information on shock
chlorination of water wells
can be found at http://ohio-
line.osu.edu/aex-fact/0318.
html and http://ohioline.osu.
edu/b795/index.html
The best way to maintain
a safe well water supply is
to prevent contamination.
Be sure your well casing is
in good shape (no cracks or
rust) and extends about a foot
above the ground so surface
water cannot enter the well.
Also be sure the cap fits tight-
ly so rodents cannot fall in
or kids cant pour anything
down the well. Our subsoils
can do a terrific job of pro-
tecting our drinking water so
long as we make the surface
water infiltrate the ground
to recharge the ground water
feeding the wells.
When septic systems do
not function properly human
fecal coliform bacteria can be
found in drainage ditches or
can infiltrate an improperly
protected water well. This is
why its recommended that
private wells be located at
least 50 feet from any sep-
tic system. Its also recom-
mended not to apply live-
stock manure within 50 feet
of a well or have fuel storage
tanks within 100 feet of a
well.
Grain indemnity fund to be discussed
Agricultural and rural
issues will be discussed at 7
p.m. June 30 at an informa-
tional meeting at Northwest
State Community College,
George V Voinovich
Auditorium, 22600 State
Route 34, Archbold.
The meeting will educate
members and the general
public on key issues of inter-
est to both farmers and rural
landowners. Speakers will
include State Senator Cliff
Hite and David Simmons
from the Ohio Department of
Agriculture.
Hite will answer questions
and inform attendees on vari-
ous legislative issues from
the statehouse in Columbus.
Simmons, as Agriculture
Inspection will detail the
Ohio Grain Indemnity Fund
and how it protects Ohios
grain farmers. OFU has been
an advocate for the fund and
worked to help in its creation
in 1983.
In addition, Dr Thomas
Stuckey, Northwest State
Community College presi-
dent will inform those able to
attend about the institutions

try shell. Chill. Spread 3
cups of the blueberries atop
cream cheese.
In saucepan, combine
remaining 1 cup blueber-
ries and the water; bring

thickened and bubbly. Cool
slightly; stir in lemon juice.
Pour over blueberries in pie
shell. Cover; chill. Garnish
with whipped cream.
*Note: Do not substitute
frozen blueberries for the
fresh berries in this recipe;
they would make the glaze
too thin.

VAN WERT The field
conditions were not perfect at
Smiley Park on Wednesday
night but the rain subsided just
in time to see Crestview take
on Van Wert in ACME
action. Pitching was the
theme on a night which
saw both teams com-
bine for five runs and
nine hits, as Crestview
erased an early deficit
to win 3-2.
Van Wert pitcher Joey
Hurless retired the Crestview
side to begin the game, strik-
ing out the first two batters.
The Van Wert bats went to
work in the bottom of the
first as Hurless led the game
off with a single, followed
by a Vincent Moreland walk
and a Matt Cucciarre RBI
single. Cucciarre later scored
on a Crestview passed ball.
Crestview pitcher Jared
Hallfeldt then began to settle
in and forced three consecu-
tive outs to end the inning and
the Van Wert rally.
Hurless retired the side
again in the top of the second,
striking out two more batters.
Hallfeldt returned the favor in
the bottom of the second, also
retiring the side and recording
two strikeouts.
The top of the third saw
Hurless record a quick strike-
out before a Hallfeldt walk.
Hallfeldt was moved to sec-
ond on a fielders choice
before Matt Holden recorded
a two-out RBI single to put
Crestview on the board for
the first time in the game.
Hurless then forced a fly out
to end the inning. Hallfeldt
retired the Van Wert side
again in the bottom of the
third and after three, the
Cougars led 2-1.
Hurless went right
back to work for Van
Wert in the top of the
fourth, striking out three
Crestview batters after allow-
ing an infield single to Alec
Heffner to begin the frame.
Hallfeldt again held serve in
the bottom of the fourth, retir-
ing all three Van Wert batters
he faced in the inning.
The Crestview offense
struck again in the top of
the fifth as Hallfeldt led
off the inning with a single
and moved to second on an
Alex Brown sacrifice bunt.
Hallfeldt moved to third on a
passed ball and, after a Holden
walk, scored on a passed ball
tying the game, 2-2. Hurless
then forced a fly out to end the
inning. Mason Krugh led off
the bottom of the fifth with a
single for Van Wert and, after
a Van Wert fly out, Andrew
Todd walked to put runners at
first and second for Van Wert
with only one out.
Crestview then made a
pitching change and brought
Nick Adam in to relieve
Hallfeldt. Before Adam threw
a pitch he recorded an out,
picking off Krugh at second.
Hurless then reached on an
error sending Todd, who had
reached second on a passed
ball, to third base. Van Wert
had runners on the corners with
two outs but Adam
forced a strikeout to
end the inning.
Heffner led off
the top of the sixth
with a ground-rule
double that hopped
over the right field fence but
was later gunned down trying
to steal third base. Hurless
then forced another strikeout
before allowing consecutive
walks. Crestview now had
runners on the corners with
two outs before Hurless struck
out a Crestview batter to stop
the scoring threat and end the
inning. Adam picked up right
where Hallfeldt left off, shut-
ting down the Cougar batters
in the bottom of the sixth, the
lone hit for Van Wert coming
on an infield single by Tyler
Williams. The game remained
tied 2-2 going into the seventh
inning.
Hurless struck out the first
batter of the frame before Alex
Brown forced a walk. Holden
then reached on a fielders
choice as Brown was thrown
out at second. A Kole Rolsten
walk sent Holden to second
followed by a Heffner walk
which loaded the bases. A
passed ball allowed Holden
to score from third before
Hurless recorded his 12th and
last strikeout.
Going into the bottom of
the seventh Crestview was
ahead 3-2. Krugh led of the
bottom of the frame with a
walk and was moved
to second on a sac-
rifice bunt by Jacob
Hoverman. Adam then
forced consecutive fly
outs, ending the game
and sealing the victory
for the Knights.
The winning pitcher for
Crestview was Adam who
pitched 2 2/3 innings without
allowing a run, striking out
two and walking one. Taking
the loss for Van Wert was
Hurless who pitched seven
innings, allowing three runs,
one earned, while striking out
12 and walking seven.

Knights were Heffner, who
went 2-3 with a walk and
a double, and Hallfeldt who
went 1-2 with two runs scored.
Leading hitters for the Cougars
were Cucciarre, who went 1-3
with an RBI and a run scored,
and Krugh who went 1-2 with

The Associated Press
NEW YORK In an NBA
draft with plenty of questions,
Kyrie Irving says his health
isnt one of them.
Irving has long been con-
sidered the top pick, though
the Cleveland Cavaliers
havent said they will
choose him with their No.
1 selection.
And if they are waver-
ing because of that toe
injury on his right foot
that limited the Duke
point guard to 11 games
in his lone college sea-
son, he insists theres no
reason to worry.
If I had concerns
about my foot, I wouldnt have
done everything I did at the
combine and the workout,
Irving said Wednesday. I
dont feel like theres any more
questions about my toe or my
health.
If the Cavs are just as con-
vinced, Irvings name will
be the first called by NBA
Commissioner David Stern
today at the Prudential Center
in Newark, N.J.
And if they arent sure,
heres some advice for what to
do with their two high picks.
Take Irving first, grab
Turkish big man Enes Kanter
fourth, and start enjoying the
postseason success you used to
have when LeBron James was
around.
If I play with Kyrie,
I believe we can make
playoffs, Kanter said. I
know we can make play-
offs.
Or instead, pass
on Irving and go with
Arizonas Derrick
Williams, who can play
inside or out, either for-
ward spot, and would
bring the mixture of
power and athleticism
back to your frontcourt that
was lost when James left.
I feel like I am the most
overall ready in this spot by
my size and ready to make an
impact, Williams said.
Even in whats considered
a less-than-stellar NBA draft,
the Cavaliers have plenty of
options as they become the first
team since the 1983 Houston
Rockets with two picks in the
top four.
Theyre expected to start
with Irving, considered the
favorite since the Cavaliers won
the lottery last month. Though
he spent most of his college
career on the sideline, the num-
bers he put in his limited time
seem too good to pass up.
It definitely feels good, you
know, knowing Im still pro-
jected to go No. 1, Irving said.
Well see how it goes tomor-
row, but its an honor to be at
the No. 1 spot right now.
The 6-foot-2 guard aver-
aged 17.5 points while shooting
53 percent from the floor, 46
percent from 3-point range and
90 percent from the foul line.
He returned from his injury
in time to play in the NCAA
tournament where his Blue
Devils were overwhelmed by
Williams in Arizonas round of
16 victory and he said that
proves there should be no ques-
tion about his health.
The Cavaliers also pick fourth
the No. 1 pick was acquired from the
Los Angeles Clippers last season in
the Baron Davis trade giving them
the ability to add a big man, perhaps
Kanter or another from the lengthy
list of Europeans available, if they
selected Irving first.
Minnesota holds the No. 2 pick
and seems open to dealing it. Utah
has Nos. 3 and 12, the latter poten-
tially putting the Jazz in the dif-
ficult position of deciding whether
they want to keep BYU star Jimmer
Fredette in state.
Fredette led the nation with 28.9
points per game and was honored
by The Associated Press and nearly
other organization that gives out a
player of the year award. But he is
perhaps the most scrutinized player
in this draft, with doubts over whether
he has the quickness to get his shot
off in the NBA or defend the much
quicker guards he will face on a
nightly basis.
Not to worry. Fredette says dur-
ing his carefully devised workout
schedule he performed for only
Utah, Sacramento, Indiana, New
York and Phoenix he gained con-
fidence that his game will translate.
I learned that Im a very confi-
dent guy and that I can play against
anyone, Fredette said. I feel like
I can play all the guys out there,
played against some of the toughest
athletes and players that are guards
in this draft. So it took away confi-
dence and knowing that I can play in
this league.
The criticism of the drafts strength
is due largely to the NBAs uncertain
labor situation. With the collective bar-
gaining agreement set to expire June
30 and owners and players far apart
on a new deal, the possibility of a
lockout and a shortened or canceled
2011-12 season remains.
Questions remained in the final
hours before the draft. Potential lot-
tery picks Marcus Morris of Kansas,
Chris Singleton of Florida State and
Klay Thompson of Washington State
were unable to be in New York on
Wednesday because they were still
working out for other teams.
Cavs have options, starting with Irving at No. 1
NBA draft
By The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS Corey Perry
crashed the Sedins NHL MVP party.
The Anaheim Ducks forward, who
scored a league-best 50 goals, won
the Hart Trophy on Wednesday night.
His surprise win came at the expense
of scoring champion Daniel Sedin of
the Vancouver Canucks, who was
trying to complete an unprecedented
MVP double dip after his twin brother
and teammate Henrik took the hon-
ors last year.
Perrys win capped the two-hour
NHL Awards ceremony. Even he said
he didnt expect to take home the tro-
phy. Tampa Bays Martin St. Louis,
who won the Lady Byng Trophy for
gentlemanly and excellent play, was
the third MVP finalist.
GOLF
ORLANDO, Fla. Tiger Woods
will miss another golf tournament as
he recovers from injuries to his left
leg, saying Wednesday he will not
play in the AT&T National next week
outside Philadelphia.
Doctors orders, Woods posted
on Twitter.
He said he would be at Aronomink
to support the tournament, which ben-
efits the Tiger Woods Foundations.
Woods said he is feeling stronger,
but is still not 100 percent.
Woods, who has slipped to No.
17 in the world ranking, has not com-
pleted a tournament since he tied
for fourth at the Masters. He said he
hurt his left knee and Achilles hitting
a shot on the 17th hole of the third
round from an awkward stance in the
pine straw.
SOCCER
GENEVA FIFA had compel-
ling evidence that Mohamed bin
Hammam and Jack Warner con-
spired to bribe voters in the organiza-
tions presidential election before it
suspended them from world soccers
governing body.
FIFAs ethics committee conclud-
ed that the allegations bin Hammam
offered $40,000 cash payments to
Caribbean officials constitute prima
facie an act of bribery.
A report into Warners case,
seen by The Associated Press, said
the then-FIFA vice president was
an accessory to bribery who offered
mere self-serving declarations at a
hearing last month.
The 17-page document was sent
last week to Warner, a 28-year vet-
eran of FIFAs ruling executive com-
mittee who led the North, Central
American and Caribbean regional
body since 1990.
Days later, the Trinidad and
Tobago government minister quit his
soccer positions while insisting that
he would have been fully exonerated
by any objective arbiter.
HORSE RACING
LOUISVILLE, Ky. The famed
Churchill Downs horse race track,
longtime home to the running of the
Kentucky Derby, was hit by a pos-
sible tornado Wednesday, knocking
down parts of barns and chasing out
horses that ran loose before being
corralled.
Hours after the storm hit, officials
had no reports of injuries to humans
or horses at the track that draws the
attention of horse racing fans world-
wide the first Saturday of each May.
The National Weather Service
said radar tracked a confirmed torna-
do south of downtown near the track
and the University of Louisville cam-
pus about 8:10 p.m. Though no races
are run on Wednesdays, a simulcast
of races elsewhere was being shown
at the track, and a Texas Hold em
poker tournament was being held,
officials said.
At least nine of the tracks 48
backside barns were damaged, as
was the chapel. The barn damage,
displacing about 200 horses, was in
an area of the track where workers
live in apartments above barns. One
barn was flooded by a water main
break.
SPORTS BRIEFS
MLB CAPSULES
By The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS Cliff Lee threw a six-
hitter for his second straight shutout and
the Philadelphia Phillies got homers
from Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard
in the fourth inning of a 4-0 victory over
the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday
night.
The Cardinals have totaled two runs
on 11 hits in their first two games
without injured Albert Pujols, expected
to miss six weeks with a fractured
left wrist. It didnt help that theyve
faced two of the games best, with
Roy Halladay giving up four hits in six
innings on Tuesday.
Kyle Lohse (7-4) worked eight
innings to match his season best, allow-
ing three runs on seven hits with no
walks or strikeouts. He struggled only in
the fourth when Rollins led off with his
seventh homer and Howard hit a two-
run shot and his 16th overall with one
out following a single by Chase Utley.
Utley added an eighth-inning sacri-
fice fly for the NL East-leading Phillies,
whove won 10 of 12.
Mets 3, Athletics 2, 13 innings
NEW YORK Brad Ziegler hit
Justin Turner with a pitch with two outs
in the 13th inning to force in the winning
run and New York ended Oaklands six-
game winning streak.
Lucas Duda had a one-out single
in the 13th off Ziegler (2-1). Daniel
Murphy, who entered as a pinch-hitter
in the 11th, singled to left. One out later,
Jose Reyes was intentionally walked.
Turner then was grazed on the left
thigh with Zieglers first pitch. He turned
to home plate umpire Alan Porter, look-
ing for the call that gave the Mets their
first walk-off win of the season.
Angels 6, Marlins 5, 10 innings
MIAMI Mark Trumbo hit a two-out
RBI single in the 10th inning, and an
uncharacteristic succession of clutch
hits helped Los Angeles beat Florida.
The Angels went 5 for 14 with run-
ners in scoring position after going 2
for 26 in those situations in the first two
games of the series.
The Marlins have lost 12 consecutive
games decided by one run, a franchise
record. Theyre 2-20 in June, tying the
franchise record for most losses in a
month, and 1-2 since 80-year-old Jack
McKeon took over as interim manager.
Angels right fielder Torii Hunter left
the game in the fifth inning with bruised
left ribs after he made a running catch
and then hit the right-field wall hard.
X-rays were negative, and the four-time
All-Stars status is day to day.
White Sox 4, Cubs 3
CHICAGO Jake Peavy returned
from the disabled list to get the victory,
A.J. Pierzynski had a two-run triple and
the White Sox beat the Cubs to win two
of three in their first series this season.
With the help of some strong work
by their bullpen, the White Sox held on
for the victory and have won 17 straight
interleague series.
Peavy (3-1), activated before the
game after being sidelined by a groin
strain, went 5 1-3 innings, giving up
seven hits. He was driven out in the
sixth when he gave up Carlos Penas
14th homer and three straight singles
that pulled the Cubs within a run.
Reliever Chris Sale struck out Koyie
Hill before Kosuke Fukudome lined a
ball off his glove for a single loading
the bases. But the 22-year-old Sale
got 21-year-old Starlin Castro on a
grounder to third to end the inning.
Jesse Crain and Matt Thornton
notched key strikeouts and Sergio
Santos pitched the ninth with two strike-
outs for his 14th save in 16 chances.
Nationals 2, Mariners 1
WASHINGTON John Lannan
and Washington Nationals found yet
another novel way to keep their winning
ways going, beating Seattle with a pair
of unearned runs off Erik Bedard.
The Nationals scored in the first and
fourth with the help of errors against the
games top interleague pitcher to win for
the 10th time in 11 games.
The win puts Washington at .500
for the first time since May 11. The
franchise hasnt been at break-even
this late in the season since finishing
with a .500 record in 2005, its inaugural
season in the nations capital.
Lannan (5-5) allowed three hits and
one run over 5 2-3 innings. Henry
Rodriguez, Sean Burnett, Tyler
Clippard and Drew Storen shut down
the Mariners the rest of the way.
Bedard (4-5) took the loss.
Indians 4, Rockies 3
CLEVELAND Josh Tomlin came
through with another quality outing and
designated hitter Travis Hafner hit a
two-run homer for Cleveland.
Tomlin (9-4) allowed three runs and
five hits in 6 1-3 innings. He has gone
at least six innings in 14 of 15 starts,
and a minimum of five in all 27 as a
major leaguer.
Hafner, sorely missed by the Indians
when he was on the disabled list, hom-
ered in the sixth off Jason Hammel (4-7)
and the Indians avoided being swept in
three straight by Colorado.
Ty Wiggintons second homer, a
two-run shot in the seventh, got the
Rockies close but Vinnie Pestano and
Tony Sipp got the Indians to the ninth
for closer Chris Perez, who retired
Wigginton on a routine fly to center for
his 18th save.
Diamondbacks 3, Royals 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Ian Kennedy
pitched six strong innings and Xavier
Nady hit an RBI double for Arizona.
Kennedy (8-2) allowed one run and
eight hits, while striking out four and
walking two to lower his ERA to 2.90.
In his past 13 starts, he is 7-1 with a
2.16 ERA.
The NL West-leading Diamondbacks
scored three runs on four hits in the
fifth against Jeff Francis (3-8). Nadys
double down the left-field line scored
Wily Mo Pena with the first run.
Willie Bloomquist, who played last
year for the Royals, singled home
Miguel Montero with the second run.
Ryan Roberts sacrifice bunt scored
Nady with the final run.
Eric Hosmers triple in the seventh
off Micah Owings scored Chris Getz,
who had three hits for the Royals.
Astros 5, Rangers 3
ARLINGTON, Texas Matt Downs
had a tiebreaking pinch-hit, two-run
homer in the ninth inning when Houston
scored four runs off closer Neftali Feliz.
Houston had four hits off Feliz (0-1)
to avoid being swept in the first half of
the Lone Star Series.
Carlos Lee greeted Feliz with a dou-
ble and scored on a double by Chris
Johnson before an infield single by
Jason Michaels. Johnson scored on a
passed ball before Downs fourth homer
of the season, the first by any Astros
player in nine games.
Downs has reached safely in nine of
his last 12 pinch-hit appearances (four
hits, four walks and a hit by pitch). This
one gave the Astros (28-48), who have
the worst record in the majors, their
10th victory in their final at-bat.
Padres 5, Red Sox 1, 7 1/2 inn.
BOSTON Will Venable hit a lead-
off home run and Clayton Richard some
support for a change, lifting San Diego
over Boston in a game delayed by rain
four times before it was called after 7
1/2 innings.
It was the second straight win for
San Diego after a season-worst six-
game losing streak. The Padres fin-
ished their road trip at 3-6.
Adrian Gonzalez hit four singles
against his former team to raise his
major league-leading average to .359
and drove in Bostons run. The Red Sox
lost for the fourth time in 18 games.
The Padres entered the day with the
majors worst batting average at .233.
They scored their runs on seven hits,
but benefited from wildness by John
Lackey (5-6).
Rays 6, Brewers 3
MILWAUKEE Kelly Shoppach hit
a two-run home run in the second and
Elliot Johnson added a three-run shot
in the seventh.
Rays starter David Price (8-6) struck
out 10 in eight innings, giving up two
runs, five hits and a walk. Price threw
120 pitches and still was hitting 96
mph on Miller Parks radar gun in the
eighth.
B.J. Uptons RBI single gave Tampa
Bay the lead in the sixth inning.
Brewers starter Shaun Marcum went
only three innings after leaving his most
recent start with a hip flexor injury.
Reliever Marco Estrada (1-5) lost.
Braves 5, Blue Jays 1
ATLANTA Brandon Beachy had
a career-high 11 strikeouts in his return
from the disabled list, Dan Uggla and
Brian McCann hit two-run homers, and
Atlanta completed a sweep of Toronto.
Beachy had been on the disabled
list since May 14 with a strained left
oblique. After one rehab appearance
in the minors, the rookie right-hander
returned to the Braves with a flour-
ish, eclipsing his previous best of nine
strikeouts in two other starts.
Yankees 4-2, Reds 2-10
CINCINNATI Leadoff hitter Chris
Heisey homered three times, getting
Cincinnatis slumping lineup going, and
Johnny Cueto allowed only two hits in
seven innings, leading the Reds to a
doubleheader split with the Yankees.
In the opener, Jorge Posada ended
the second-longest homer drought of
his career with a two-run shot, sending
the Yankees to a win.
Heisey started the second game
with his first career leadoff homer. He
also had two-run shots off Brian Gordon
(0-1) and Hector Noesi in his first mul-
tihomer game.
Cueto (5-2) gave up Nick Swishers
solo homer and Alex Rodriguezs sin-
gle. The right-hander pitched out of a
bases-loaded threat in the seventh,
retiring Posada on a groundout to pre-
serve a 4-1 lead.
The Reds pulled away by batting
around for three runs in the bottom of
the inning, and Heisey homered for the
third time in the eighth. Teammates
made him take a curtain call, and fans
chanted his name when he went back
out to left field.
The Yankees won the first game
without Rodriguez or first baseman Mark
Teixeira in the lineup. Posada played
first base and made the difference.
Posadas tiebreaking homer off Mike
Leake (6-4) ended his stretch of 126
at-bats without one. His last homer was
April 23.
Freddy Garcia (6-6) gave up two
unearned runs in seven innings.
Yankees third baseman Ramiro Pena
committed three errors, including two in
the fifth inning that gave the Reds two
unearned runs.
Tigers 7, Dodgers 5
LOS ANGELES Casper Wells
opened the game with one of four
home runs by Detroit and defensive
replacement Austin Jackson made
an over-the-shoulder catch on Dioner
Navarros bases-loaded drive for the
final out.
Miguel Cabrera and Magglio
Ordonez also homered. So did Don
Kelly, who connected as a pinch-hitter
for Ordonez in the eighth inning.
Jose Valverde struck out pinch-hit-
ter Casey Blake and retired Navarro on
the fly ball for his 17th straight save.
Al Alburquerque (4-1) struck out
four and walked two in 2 1-3 innings.
Ted Lilly (5-7) gave up six hits and
six runs in 4 2-3 innings, struck out
eight and walked one.

Tomorrows
Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Give love to one
who returns it
Dear Annie: I am hav-
ing an affair with a mar-
ried woman. We used to live
together and then separated
under conditions that were
totally my fault. Afterward,
I begged her forgiveness
and proposed marriage. She
declined, but we continued
our physical relationship. She
then abruptly ended this rela-
tionship and married some-
one else. I was devastated.
She told me she wanted to be
friends, and I told her I never
wanted to see her
again.
Within months
of her marriage,
she called to say
she missed me and
wanted to be with
me again. Our
affair is now in its
second year. She
says she loves me.
I have asked her to
leave her husband,
but she wont,
either out of fear,
embarrassment or an unwill-
ingness to leave the comfort-
able lifestyle he provides her.
I have told her if she wont
tell him about me, I will do it
myself, even though it might
mean losing her. But Im
hardly a part of her life now
anyway. Do I have a right to
do this? -- Right or Wrong
Dear Right: You
shouldnt interfere in some-
one elses marriage, either
by having an affair with his
wife or by confronting him
with the information. Your
choice is to continue seeing
this woman or break it off.
We will tell you this: She is
not going to leave her hus-
band for you. She will keep
you dangling on a string as
long as you permit it. Please
let her go, and find someone
who is willing to return your
love and devotion.
Dear Annie: My hus-
band and I received a printed
invitation from a friend to
attend her husbands sur-
prise birthday party. Before
I had a chance to RSVP, she
e-mailed, saying she hoped
we could come and, if so,
asked that I bring an appe-
tizer. I was taken aback and
didnt realize I was co-host-
ing this party.
Should I respond that
well:
1. Attend with the appe-
tizer and birthday gift?
2. Attend, decline on the
appetizer, but promise to
send money to offset the cost
of food and inquire if there
will be a cash bar?
3. Send regrets?
I guess Im having a prob-
lem with asking guests to
provide the food. I could
understand bringing some-
thing if a bunch of friends
decided as a group to have
a potluck or if I had volun-
teered to cook. What am I to
do? -- Unwilling Co-Host
Dear Unwilling: It is OK
to tell your friend you would
love to attend the party but
prefer not to be responsible for
feeding her guests. However,
if this is a very close friend,
it would be gracious of you
to agree to her request, even
though it was totally inappro-
priate of her to put you on the
spot. Maintaining friendships
sometimes requires overlook-
ing such impositions.
Dear Annie: Want To
Make Things Right said
her friend claimed neighbors
were bombarding his house
with rays, the shower made
his skin burn and his dogs
refused to drink the tap water.
I liked your sug-
gestion to contact
the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Too many people
have been labeled
delusional when
there is a real cause.
There is something
wrong with the
water if the dogs
wont drink it.
The latest meth-
od of extracting gas
(fracking) involves
forcing chemicals into the
rocks, causing them to fracture
and release the trapped gas.
Unfortunately, the process can
poison the groundwater supply.
Many incidents of poisoned
animals, sickened people and
tap water bursting into flames
by a lighted match have been
reported, but not much is being
done. I thought perhaps you
could spread the word. -- Not
Delusional in Missouri
Dear Missouri: This is
a highly controversial issue,
with adherents on both sides.
So far, Congress has been
unsuccessful in passing leg-
islation to require energy
companies to disclose the
chemicals used in fracking
and to comply with the Safe
Drinking Water Act.

Friday, June 24, 2011
Your material prospects look more
promising in the year ahead than they
have for some time. Just so youre
not wasteful with the excess, start a
saving program. In time, youll be
able to purchase something big.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Sidestep making any binding
agreements if at all possible. There
is an excellent chance that tomorrow
you will see things from a totally
different perspective.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you
need assistance for completing a job,
be careful regarding the type of help
you solicit. Chances are youll get
plenty of volunteers, but they might
be more interested in showboating
than working.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Much inner turmoil is likely to
be generated when you discover
your trust in another has been sadly
misplaced. Instead of inviting more
trouble, rely on past experience as
your guide.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Compromise is the key word for
you, especially where domestic
disagreements are concerned. Your
attitude will play a critical role in the
kind of responses youll get.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
One of the more critical areas in which
you need to be monitored is your
tendency to stick your nostrils into
situations or problems where youve
not been invited. Dont miscalculate
your place.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Keep a close eye on your
resources and how you handle them.
Complacency or indifference could
carry a high price tag if youre not
willing to keep tabs on your spending
habits.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Dont let your vanity or ego get in
the way of your relationships with
others. There are certain facets of
your personality that could cause you
to blurt out things you dont mean.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Youll do yourself a favor if you can
face the fact that not everybody will
be in accord with your viewpoints or
positions. When you can accept this,
you can accept others.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Its nice to think well of people, but be
wary of those whom you know from
personal experience have previously
exploited your generosity. People dont
change, but you can become wiser.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Keep a lid on your intensity and try to
operate on a more placid wavelength.
Once your forcefulness is set into
motion, it could be extremely difficult
to control.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
The best way to figure out who is your
worst enemy is to look in a mirror.
What it boils down to is impatience
and compulsive behavior that will
prove to be self-defeating.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Operate as independently from others
as you possibly can, because, for some
unknown reason, your way of doing
things and theirs will be diametrically
opposed to each other.
