ELIDA As fall ap-
proaches, Elida Local Schools
is buzzing with excitement
over the grand opening of
its new 167,000-square-foot
high school, which will be an
improvement on the old high
school in everything from
security to location.
We are on time to open
this fall and under budget.
All of our bids on this project
were phenomenal, Treasurer
Joel Parker said during a
tour Tuesday afternoon.
Touchstone, our construc-
tion contractor, did an amaz-
ing job. Garmann/Miller, the
architects, also did an amaz-
ing job and they never made
us feel as though it was their
building. We always felt as
though it was ours through-
out the entire process and that
was really important to us.
In addition to a slew of
new practice fields and six
new tennis courts outdoors,
the new building features a
state of the art auditorium,
two offices, a 20,000 square
foot courtyard and two gym-
nasiums.
It also boasts security
cameras and a more secure
perimeter.
We have cameras set up
in the classrooms and the
halls, which I think will be
a big help to the faculty,
Parker said. And the doors
will lock automatically when
school starts, so if a student
comes in late, they will be
forced to go through the door
that goes through the office,
where they will have to
explain why they are late. In
the old building, there were
doors all over the place that
you could come in and out of
any time.
The building also features
geothermal technology and
high quality materials that
Elida hopes will last a long
time.
There was no rubber used
on the roof, its all metal,
Parker said. And there are
rain catchers to catch rain
water, which will be used for
the toilets. They used a high
end epoxy terrazzo on the
floors, which will hopefully
last us 80 years or so. If it
says it should last 80 years,
were going to do every-
thing we can to make sure
it does.
The new high school is
divided into two wings, the
athletic wing and the aca-
demic wing, with the com-
mons area and auditorium
in between. There are also
separate rooms for the band
and choir.
The teachers are start-
ing to move their stuff in
already, Parker said. Each
room will have white boards
and smartboards. The indi-
vidual needs of the teachers
were also taken into account
when designing the rooms.
For instance, each of the sci-
ence classrooms is different,
working around the subjects
each teacher teaches. There
are also two small greenhous-
es for them to use.
I think most people are
excited about the auditorium,
Parker continued. Up to this
point the kids didnt really
have anywhere to perform.
All of the performances took
place on the gym floor. The
community will really enjoy
having the auditorium, for
both community and school
events.
As for the old high school,
the building is set to be
demolished. The Fieldhouse,
however, will remain.
We hold a lot of tour-
naments at the fieldhouse
and weve had some issues
with parking in the past,
Parker said. When the old

DELPHOS
Grandparents take their jobs
seriously. Chuck and Christy
Hammond of Delphos are no
exception.
Their grandsons, Tyler
Painter, 10, and Davis
Painter, 6, love Little Debbies
Cosmic Brownies to be
precise. The Delphos couple
are happy to indulge their
little charges when they are
home for their annual visit
from Victoria, Texas.
They only get them here
and they are pretty excited
when I have them, Christy
said.
One day when she passed
a home with a Little Debbie
truck in the drive, she got
an idea. Wouldnt it be neat
if her grandsons could have
a special delivery at her
house when they visited?
When she stopped and
left a note on the truck but
received no answer, the
determined grandmother
made it he mission to find a
willing Little Debbie deliv-
ery person to help her out.
She left her phone number at
all the local stores where the
sweet treats could be found
and a few weeks later, she
got the call. Kevin Dailey
would be in town the Friday
after her family arrived from
the Longhorn State and he
was willing to stop by and
bring two little boys a sur-
prise.
I have never had anything
like this happen before,
Dailey said. Im happy to do
it. These guys seem to really
like Little Debbies.
Dailey passed out boxes
of Debbies and even plopped
company hats on the boys
heads before he took off
down the road to make his
deliveries.
I cant believe I actually
found someone who would
do this, Christy said. It
really made the boys day
and mine. It means every-
thing to us that he was willing
to come here and do this.
A box of Little Debbie
snack cakes $1.99
A few baseball caps

A big smile on the faces of
two little boys priceless!
Kevin Dailey a good
guy.

Obama presses for
something big
WASHINGTON (AP)
Struggling to avert an unprec-
edented national default, con-
gressional leaders jettisoned
negotiations on a sweeping
deficit-reduction package
Friday despite a plea from
President Barack Obama to
do something big to stabi-
lize Americas finances.
Instead, lawmakers
embarked on competing fall-
back plans as a critical Aug.
2 deadline neared, a House
Republican version given lit-
tle chance of success, even by
some supporters, and a bipar-
tisan Senate approach holding
out more promise to avert
what Obama called financial
Armageddon..
Late Friday, the Treasury
Department announced it was
resorting to the final steps in
an unusual series designed
to avoid exceeding the cur-
Low tonight
around 70,
then hot and
humid Sunday
with high in
low 90s and
20 percent chance of after-
noon showers and storms.

Kasich signs
bath salts bill
COLUMBUS (AP)
Synthetic recreational drugs,
including crystals called
bath salts, will be banned
in Ohio under a bill signed by
Gov. John Kasich (KAY-sik).
The governor on Friday
signed legislation outlawing
the possession, use and sale
of the drugs already banned
by some Ohio communities.
The legislation makes
penalties for possession or
trafficking of the drugs
including those known as
bath salts, K2 or Spice the
same as those for marijuana.
It makes possession a misde-
meanor and trafficking near a
school or juvenile a felony.
Bath salts are crystalized
chemicals that are snorted,
swallowed or smoked. They
can cause paranoia and hal-
lucination, and their use has
led to hundreds of calls to
poison centers nationwide.
YMCA hosting camps
The Lima YMCA
is hosting a pair of vol-
leyball camps in July.
The first is the
University of Findlay
Oilers Volleyball Camp for
4th- through 9th-graders.
It will go from July
18-21 and each days ses-
sion will run from 1-4 p.m.

Final exhibit hours
this weekend
This is the final weekend
for the Barns of Indiana
exhibit at the Delphos
Area Art Guilds 2nd Floor
Gallery above the Delphos
Museum of Postal Histry.
Hours are 10 -3 p.m
Saturday and Sunday.
As my husband and I travel to Columbus
today for his flight to Baltimore, we will talk
about his trip to see our niece and keep vigil
over our little man in the back seat.
Its time for the annual dance competition
and the love of my life will be gone for a
whole week and two days.
When we decided to embark on our frantic
search for a furry friend to fill the gaping hole
in our heart in January after our sweet Sadie
Lou passed, it sealed my fate to once again
stay behind and hold down the fort. It doesnt
mean I dont want to see Lotus the Awesome
dance, I just have to take care things at home.
I hope she understands.
I am observing a staycation.
The most exciting thing on my list is the
first home visit for Cameron. Mom and I
will pick him up Sunday evening and he
will return to Toledo Tuesday evening.
He earned this privilege by staying the
straight and narrow these past months while
at the Volunteers of America Community
Treatment Center.
Cameron is doing very well. He has a full-
time job and is eager to continue on his path
to freedom.
We have zillions of things wed like to do
but on the first visit, he must stay at our home
for 48 hours. Someone will be checking once
each four hour shift the whole time he is there
and he needs to be able to talk to them on the
phone.
Thats OK. Our top priority is movies and
visiting with family and friends. The second
priority is spaghetti and some other of his
favorites.
It has been nearly 6 years since Cameron
was home and Im a little beside myself. This
has been a long haul. Each day he makes
strides to becoming who is supposed to be.
Hell be meeting Ringo for the first time
and Im sure the house will hold memories
of the one that came before. I had promised
him Id try my best to keep her around but it
didnt happen.
So vacation, staycation, its all good. Im
doin what I want.

When Casey Anthony is
released from jail Sunday,
it will probably be in the
middle of the night.
If her lawyers are smart,
security experts say, they
will arrange for several
SUVs with tinted windows
to pull up to the Orange
County Jail. Then they will
bundle her into one of them
and whisk her away to a safe
house, where she will be
protected by bodyguards for
days, if not weeks.
Id tell her to go to a
big house in the middle
of nowhere, said Dallas-
based security expert Stuart
Diamond, who has worked
for celebrities and federal
agencies. That would be
the safest thing for her. Its
more of an effort for some-
one to really follow through
on a threat.
Online and elsewhere,
Anthony has been vilified,
many believing she got
away with murder. Some
have wished the same fate
on her that prosecutors say
befell her 2-year-old daugh-
ter, Caylee.
Anthonys legal team
said Friday it received an
emailed death threat with
a doctored photo of the
25-year-old woman with a
bullet hole through her fore-
head. The threat was for-
warded to authorities.
One her attorneys, Cheney
Mason, said Anthony is ner-
vous about getting out of
jail, and he isnt taking any
chances: We are all vigi-
lant and I am armed.
A jury acquitted Anthony
last week of murder but
found her guilty of lying
to law officers investigating
the disappearance of Caylee
in 2008. She was sentenced
to four years in prison, but
with good behavior and
nearly three years already
served, she will be out this
weekend.
Details of her release
are being closely held, and
the sheriffs department is
not making the time public
beforehand.
This will not be a usual
release, jail spokesman
Allen Moore said in an
email. Due to the high-pro-
file nature of this case and
intense, emotional interest
by the public, appropriate
measures will be taken to
release the individual into
the community in such a
manner so as to preserve the
safety of the individual and
public.
The Orange County Jail
has had very few high-pro-
file inmates. Former astro-
naut Lisa Nowak, who was
convicted in a bizarre attack
on a romantic rival, walked
out the jails front door,
where a horde of media
pushed and elbowed their
way toward her, shouting
questions and trying to snap
photos. In another case,
Noelle Bush, the daugh-
ter of then-Gov. Jeb Bush
and niece of then-President
George W. Bush, received
special handling after her
arrest on drug charges.
Secret Service agents were
worried she could be tar-
geted.
Once she is out of jail,
Anthony will not get special
treatment beyond the pro-
tection any person would
get if there were a cred-
ible threat, law enforcement
authorities said. (Earlier this
week, authorities said they
had not received any cred-
ible threats, but they did
not immediately return a
call Friday about the new
email.)
Shes like every other
resident or citizen here,
Orange County Sheriff Jerry
Demings said. Were not
going to be her personal
security. Her attorneys will
make appropriate decisions
or prepare for her own secu-
rity after that.
She should be let out of
jail at an offbeat time like
3 or 4 in the morning, said
Daniel Meachum, an Atlanta
lawyer who has represented
football star Michael Vick
and actor Wesley Snipes.
Ideally, security experts
said, she should go to a
safe house. She may have
to arrange backup locations,
in case the address is dis-
covered.
She probably wont be
going to the home she had
shared with her parents
before her arrest, in part
because the trial fractured
their relationship. Defense
attorney Jose Baez told
jurors that Anthonys father,
George Anthony, molested
his daughter and covered up
his granddaughters death
after Caylee accidentally
drowned in the family pool.
George Anthony has denied
the abuse and cover-up alle-
gations.
Experts: Casey
Anthony should
go to a safe house
This will not be
a usual release.
Due to the high-
profile nature
of this case and
intense, emo-
tional interest
by the public,
appropriate
measures will be
taken to release
the individual
into the com-
munity in such
a manner so
as to preserve
the safety of
the individual
and public.

NEW YORK (AP)
With three failed marriages
between them, Jennifer Lopez
and Marc Anthony final-
ly seemed to find true love
together when they married
seven years ago. They had
twin children, went on tour
together, did a movie together
and even planned a music-
based reality show they were
working on together.
But on Friday, the pair
announced they were no lon-
ger together.
We have decided to end
our marriage. This was a very
difficult decision, the couple
said in a statement by Lopezs
publicist. We have come to
amicable conclusion on all
matters. It is a painful time for
all involved and we appreci-
ate the respect of our privacy
at this time.
It was a surprising split
for one of Hollywoods most
high-profile couples. They
seemed inseparable: Lopez
even danced in the background
for her crooner husband when
he performed on American
Idol, where she debuted as a
judge this past season.
The pair, both of Puerto
Rican heritage, married in
2004 after years of knowing
each other. He was ending
a marriage to former Miss
Universe Dayanara Torres,
while she had recently endured
a high-profile breakup with
Ben Affleck.
Lopez had been married
twice before in brief unions to
Ojani Noa and Chris Judd and
had a famous romance with
Sean Diddy Combs.
Her union with Anthony
was her most enduring public
relationship. The pair did a
joint tour together and starred
in the movie El Cantante
in 2006.

LOS ANGELES (AP)
A man accused of stalking
Paris Hilton has pleaded not
guilty to felony charges that
could land him in jail for five
years.
City News Service says
36-year-old James Rainford
entered pleas Friday in Los
Angeles to two felony stalk-
ing charges and three misde-
meanor counts of disobeying
a court order to stay away
from the socialite.
Rainford was arrested
on the Fourth of July after
paparazzi recognized him out-
side Hiltons Malibu home. It
was his third arrest in less
than a year related to Hilton.
Rainford is jailed on
$150,000 bail. Jail records
dont indicate whether he has
an attorney.
Rainford was released
from jail in May after serving
time for misdemeanor battery.
Authorities say he had tried to
grab Hiltons then-boyfriend
outside a courthouse earlier
this year.
Man charged with
stalking Paris Hilton
A girl, Ainsley Maeve, was
born June 26 to Bobby and
Denise (Buettner) Lucas of
Chicago.
She weighed 7 pounds, 1
ounce and was 19 1/2 inches
long. She was welcomed home
by big sister Emma Grace.
Grandparents are Charlie
and Doris Buettner of Delphos
and Debbie Lucas of Crown

$14.3 trillion debt limit.
Numerous officials have cau-
tioned that a default will occur
if the limit is not increased
by Aug. 2, warning also of a
calamitous effect on a national
economy struggling to recover
from the worst recession in
decades.
At the behest of conser-
vatives, House Republicans
announced plans to vote next
week on legislation to permit
more borrowing automati-
cally if Congress approves a
balanced-budget constitutional
amendment. Senate approval
of that amendment seemed
extremely unlikely in a vote set
for the next few days.
At the same time, Senate lead-
ers from both parties worked on
their own fallback measure that
would allow Obama to raise the
debt limit without a prior vote
by lawmakers, discussions that
now have expanded to include
House officials and top White
House aides.
That plan was likely to
include limits on spending
across thousands of government
programs, and possibly a down
payment on cuts, as well.
As part of that proposal,
a panel of lawmakers would
recommend cuts in benefits
programs by the end of the
year, with the House and Senate
required to vote yes-or-no on
the package without possibility
of changes.
If they show me a seri-
ous plan Im ready to move,
declared Obama at his second
news conference of the week,
even though he said he wanted
a far more sweeping deal that
might even have raised the age
of Medicare eligibility from
65 to 67 if Republicans would
increase selected taxes.
We are obviously running
out of time, he said.
Senate Republican leader
Mitch McConnell said, Now
the debate will move from a
room in the White House to the
House and Senate floors, an
indication that the daily closed-
door negotiations on Obamas
home ground were a thing of
the past.
The House Republican rank
and file were advised in a GOP
meeting that, barring action
by Congress, the government
would be able to pay only about
half its bills after Aug. 2, and
separately that a default could
cost the government trillions
of dollars in the form of higher
interest rates on the debt.

Fifty-two locals recently traveled to Washington, D.C., with Delphos Museum of Postal History Curator Gary Levitt.
Ive got my feet propped
up with a cold iced tea in
my hand. Im staring out the
window, not really looking at
anything in particular; but my
mind is racing as I look back
over the photos of our most
recent trip. I cant believe we
were gone for a whole week.
Wow! It went fast.
On Monday morning June
20, 52 brave souls hopped on a
bus with the hope of enjoying
a week full of fun. I wouldnt
be surprised if some of them
are still a little tired but all in
all I heard so many good com-
ments about our trip. Looking
back at all our previous trips
we continue to jump in and
out of our time capsule, back
and forth through the centu-
ries, as we go exploring his-
tory and the development of
our American culture.
Our New York trip in
2009 took us to the time of
the great immigration from
Europe and Asia, the era of the
skyscrapers, art deco styled
buildings, and the tragedy of
the twenty-first century on
9.11.2001. We were almost
100 stories high as we looked
out from the Empire State
Building and from the Top of
the Rock. But our feet were
firmly planted on the ground
when we first arrived.
Our time capsule first land-
ed on the Lower East Side of
Manhattan. Some of us walked
on the streets our ancestors
walked feeling much as they
hadtimid, overwhelmed,
and wondering if we had
made the right choice.
We stood in the living
room of a tenement apart-
ment. I say living room
because thats all it was
they lived, slept, ate, bathed
and ran a business in this one
small room.
We were guests in these
apartments our hosts told
us of their lives in Russia,
Eastern Europe and Spain
and regardless of their hard-
ships, they were happy to be in
the land of milk and honey.
Our time capsules shot
us forward to the glitz and
sparkle of Times Square and
Broadway. We shook Al
Rokers hand and waved to
America on national TV.
After five days filled with
eating, sleeping and staring
at the streets below and the
spires above we stepped back
into our time machine and
traveled safely to that place
we call home.
Our next stop was Boston.
Here through the words of our
Lincoln Minuteman, we wit-
ness the birth of our nation.
In our minds eye we saw our
first battle for freedom right
here on our own soil.
At Minuteman National
Park we could gaze into the
minds of great American
leaders, like Paul Revere and
William Prescott. Fortunately
we had very extraordinary men
who were able to see the future
in these extraordinary times.
We walked the Freedom
Trail by the bay, stood on
the steps of Faneuil Hall and
sipped a pint at Americas
oldest operating Inn.
Our travels took us from
the Little Women of Alcott
to Thoreaus Walden Pond.
Once again we boarded our
time capsule and landed in
some more modern spots
where Everybody knows
your name and getting
a haircut could end up in
Shear Madness.
So far our travels have
taken us through many begin-
nings. Now it is time to move
our journey to the places
where we put these ideals to
the test. Of course the first test
is always on the battlefield.
At Gettysburg the fight
was for freedom for all ver-
sus the freedom of States
rights. We walked on hal-
lowed ground that was once
covered in American blood.
Here we saw the price that
had been paid and it pre-
pared us for the honor we
bestow on the Unknowns. In
Arlington National Cemetery
we held our breath as we
watched the measurement of
time with ultimate precision:
21 steps in 21 seconds.
But our hearts burst with
pride as the men and women
of the US Marine Corps Band,
the Silent Drill Platoon, and
the Drum and Bugle Corps
performed an amazing drama
on the parade grounds at the
Marine Barracks. We sat just
steps away from the place
where John Philip Sousa
spent many years as the con-
ductor of The Presidents
Own the Marine Corps
Band. It was a once-in-a-life-
time experience and certainly
one we will never forget!
But as we chased the
sun fading in the west, we
all agreed that we were all
enriched by having taken the
journey, for reacquainting
ourselves with old memories,
and by meeting wonderful
new friends. I wish to thank
all of those who have trav-
eled on each of these excur-
sions. In doing so, they have
made a significant contribu-
tion towards keeping, what
I hope to be, another icon of
history alive.
Join us on our next trip
as we enter TV Land at the
Mayberry Celebration in Mt
Airy, North Carolina Sept.
22-25. Plans are in the works
for trips in 2012. Call us
today for more information at
419-303-5482.
COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohio has made some chang-
es in its new-car lemon
law on a request from auto-
makers still struggling to get
repair parts in the aftermath
of this years earthquake and
tsunami in Japan.
A revision in the law offer-
ing consumer protections to
buyers of troublesome new
vehicles was tucked into the
new state budget that took
effect at the beginning of
the month. It cuts car com-
panies some slack if a natu-
ral disaster or riot makes it
tough for them to get parts to
fix a defective vehicle, The
Columbus Dispatch reported
Friday.
What happened in Japan
is such a huge issue, with
so many parts and vehicle
plants that were affected
by the tsunami, said Scott
Corbitt, director of policy
and legislation for the Ohio
attorney generals office.
In such occasions, the
law now allows an unspeci-
fied amount of extra time
for repairs before the car
company is required to per-
manently replace the vehicle
or pay a refund. However,
during the extended wait, the
cars owner must be pro-
vided with a loaner vehicle,
Corbitt told the Dispatch.
A consortium of automak-
ers sought the change, citing
parts manufacturing delays
in Japan following the mag-
nitude 9.0 earthquake and
tsunami that devastated the
countrys northeast coast on
March 11.
The Ohio laws new wrin-
kle is called a fair trade-
off by consumer watchdog
Kip Morse, president of the
Better Business Bureau of
Central Ohio.
If it is outside the control
of the business to get access
to parts, I cant imagine a
consumer who wouldnt
understand, especially since
they would have access to
another vehicle while they
await repairs, he said.

ATHENS (AP) The
Ohio Ethics Commission
says the former president
of Hocking College and his
wife have been ordered to
pay the school restitution for
misdemeanor ethics viola-
tions.
Special prosecutor Julie
Korte says John Light and
Roxanne DuVivier entered
no contest pleas Friday in
Athens County Municipal
Court. Such a plea is not
an admission of guilt, but
is generally treated like a
guilty plea by the court.
The commission says
Light filed false financial
statements, failing to dis-
close more than $46,000 in
travel expenses related to his
job. He was fined $100 and
ordered to pay $600 restitu-
tion.
DuVivier, who was an
administrator at the school,
pleaded no contest to public
contract and conflict of inter-
est violations. She was fined
$400 and ordered to repay
the school about $14,000
and the Ethics Commission
$5,000.

The Associated Press
CLEVELAND A man
charged with killing 11 women
and dumping their remains
around his property struggled
in a police interrogation to
remember what happened and
whether he was dreaming,
according to a video played
for jurors at his trial Friday.
Anthony Sowell, 51,
remembered some women as
light-skinned or dark-skinned
and some with children but
seemed unable to place names
or where they lived.
Take us through what she
did to upset you, a detective
asked about one woman in the
video of the interrogation after
Sowells arrest Oct. 31, 2009.
Sowell tugged at his head
in response.
At the time of the inter-
rogation, five bodies had been
found in Sowells home and
another buried out back. Six
times, six times, the detective
kept telling Sowell.
It happened again, it hap-
pened again, the detective
repeated over and over.
The interrogators pressed
Sowell to tell them what were
the dreams he mentioned and
what was reality. You would
remember, the detective
said.
Sowell has pleaded not
guilty in the deaths of the
11 women who disappeared
starting in October 2007,
many struggling with addic-
tions and troubled lives. He
could face the death penalty if
convicted.
Sowell, who watched the
video of himself from a seat
at the defense table, often
responded to investigators
questions with muffled grunts.
He grabs his head repeatedly
when an interrogator men-
tioned people found in his
house.
In the first half of the eight-
hour video shown Thursday,
Sowell said, I guess I did
that, when asked about the
bodies. The judge said a
Friday afternoon fire alarm
meant the video would con-
tinue Monday.
Detectives, taking occa-
sional breaks to provide
cigarettes and coffee for
Sowell, asked for information
about hair color, weight and
clothes.
Did she have any ear-
rings? a detective asked
about one woman.
I dont know, responds
Sowell, alternating between
impassive moments and ani-
mated gestures, leaning for-
ward for emphasis.
One detective shows a piece
of paper, apparently showing
an outline of the rooms in the
house, and presses Sowell to
point to the locations of more
bodies and how he maneu-
vered around them from a
hallway.
Since some bodies had
already been found, the detec-
tives reminded Sowell that he
could help the situation by
giving details about the oth-
ers.
This is how we can make
it better, the detective said.
Its a done deal.
The last woman had van-
ished in September 2009, the
month before Sowell was
arrested. Prosecutors said the
women were lured with liquor
and crack cocaine.

chickens
Acting on instructions
received from Officer
Wingate of Lima, Marshal
ONeill arrested one W.H.
Rice here this morning, at 11
oclock, when he went to the
post office to get his mail.
Rice is a Kenton man
and came here with a horse
and buggy. He is charged
with stealing some chickens
near that place, and it was
learned that he would come
to Delphos today to pick up
his mail.
After being locked up for
a short time, and putting up
an improbable story, Rice
finally admitted that he was
guilty of the Kenton charge.
He also admitted steal-
ing 22 chickens near East
Town, near Lima, Thursday
night, which he sold here.
They were found at one of
the poultry houses here.
Marshall ONeill telephoned
the Marshall of Kenton that
he had Rice. The Kenton
officer answered back,
Hold him, I want him very

Delphos Mfg. Co.
Will Use Old German
Department School
The Del phos
Manufacturing Company is
planning to convert the old
German Department school
building to be used in the
manufacture of brooder
coops and other sheet metal
specialties. The siding on
First street has been extend-
ed in front of the building
to Franklin street to allow
rail cars to be run up to the
building for the convenient
handling of freight.
They have purchased the
stoves formerly used in heat-
ing the school rooms, from
the school board and will use
them in heating the building
next winter. The company is
now manufacturing a large
number of brooder coops and
other sheet metal specialties
for which they have no room
in their present quarters. A
freight elevator to be oper-
ated by electricity will be
erected outside of the build-
ing to be used in carrying
raw material to the second
and third floors and also to
carry the finished product
down to the cars.
General Manager Leilich
stated that its the intention
of the company to use this
building for the manufac-
ture of these products tem-
porarily until the business
grows enough to warrant the
erection of a large build-
ing for that purpose west
of the Swink Printing Press
Companys plant. (The
Swink Printing Press build-
ing is the present building,
located on the S.W. corner
of Pierce and First streets.
R.H.)
The company is now
occupying the second floor
of the Swink Printing Press
companys building for the
manufacture of steel drums
which are used in shipping
asphalt. Every department of
the plant is now working full
force and the prospects for a
big business during the com-
ing fall and winter are good.

Has Given Up
Drinking
The confidential clerk
of a Boston financial estab-
lishment explained thus to
a party of friends the other
evening, why for two months
he has confined his drinking
to the consumption of but-
termilk and other innocuous
beverages:
I hit it up pretty strong
one week in March, he
said, and when I came to,
I was in Providence, broke.
I hadnt the heart to wire
home for money, and set out
to walk the forty-four miles
between me and Boston. I
got lifts from farmers and
slept in a barn one night and
the next day got as far as
Stoughton. I was passing a
humble home in the woods
when I smelled corned beef
and cabbage cooking. I sim-
ply couldnt pass that house
without eating.
Resolved to send the
housewife a dollar if she
fed me. I made known my
almost agonizing hunger.
She promptly set me down
to the best tasting meal I had
ever known and I was work-
ing at it man fashion when
the young one of the house,
about 4 years old, began a
dismal wailing. Keep still
Mikey, said the mother, or
Ill have the bum ate you.
I felt a lump in my throat
that stopped the passage of
food for more than a min-
ute. I then realized just what
my spree had done to my
appearance.
Mikey immediately
checked his grief and was
maintaining perfect silence
when his mother addressed
me, saying, If Mikey
cries again youll ate him,
wont you, Mr. Tramp? I
would if youd wash him, I
answered.
Ive been on the wagon
ever since.

Delphos Man
Has Novel Patent
E.L. Welch, of Delphos,
is the patentee of a small
device to be attached to
brooms and brushes for
the purpose of disinfecting
floors while sweeping. The
article is a small tank which
can easily be attached to a
broom or brush. The recep-
tacle is filled with disinfec-
tant, which begins to flow
slowly as soon as air is given
at the top, and which is eas-
ily shut off by closing the
air vent.
The article is inexpensive
as is the fluid used. The
object of the device is to kill
germs which are prevalent
on duty floors and carpets.
Mr. Welch is now manufac-
turing his patent on a small
scale and expects to place it
on the market soon.

Brave Girl to
Get Reward
Miss Hester Ross, daugh-
ter of W.G. Ross of Ross
Spur, a Mississippi flag sta-
tion, will receive a Carnegie
medal and a purse of money
for her bravery in saving
the lives of a dozen or more
men on a freight train some
few days ago. A telegraph
operator and a young woman
telephone operator each
played an important part in
the story.
As No. 72, fast freight,
pulled out of Noxapator, the
depot operator at Louisville
flashed to Dispatcher Stepp
at New Albany the follow-
ing: Long cut cars broke
loose here. Are on main
line.
Dispatcher Stepp, realiz-
ing that a crash on the main
line was almost inevitable,
called Miss Mary Monday,
long-distance operator of
the Cumberland Telephone
company, saying, Get who-
ever you can on the phone
at once and tell them to flag
No. 72. Theres one chance
in a hundred. Hurry.
Not losing a moment,
she called the Ross home at
Ross Spur. It was then about
1 a.m. At 1:10 the freight
was due to pass the little
town. No answer to her fran-
tic rings was obtained for
nearly five minutes. Finally,
a drowsy voice answered
at the Ross home. Learning
of the terrible situation, and
without waiting to arouse
any of the family, and hav-
ing but five minutes to reach
the station, Miss Ross, in
her night clothes and bare
feet, armed herself with a
lantern and dashed down to
the depot.
No. 72 whistled and was
about half a mile down the
track. The cut of runaway
cars could be seen coming in
an opposite direction to the
fast freight. Standing in the
middle of the tracks, Miss
Ross swung the lantern des-
perately and jumped aside as
the freight rolled by, coming
to a stop a few feet further
on. The cut of runaway cars
bumped into the engine, but
did no damage. The cars
had run away for about five
miles.

Painfully Injured
Theodore Wiechart, resid-
ing on a farm about four
miles north-west of Delphos,
met with a painful accident
Saturday afternoon, while
assisting in placing hay
in the mow at his farm. A
double harpoon carrier fork
was being used in elevat-
ing the hay from the wagon
to the mow. Mr. Wiechart
was working in the mow and
when the fork was directly
above him it let loose from
the pulley, falling six feet
and striking him in the back.
One of the points of the forks
penetrated the left shoulder
making a severe wound.
A physician was called
and gave attention. While
Mr. Wiecharts injury is not
necessarily serious, it is quite
painful and will keep him
from work for some time.

Confidence Game
The Van Wert Bulletin
has the following concern-
ing a matter that people of
this section may know a
great deal about:
A party of strangers
are making headquarters in
this town and are working a
shrewd game on the country
folk of this vicinity. They
offer for sale at the door of
a farmer a cream separa-
tor. It is a standard make,
guaranteed in many respects
to those of other factories.
They do not ask the victim
to buy the creamer with-
out trial and willingly grant
thirty days free use of the
machine. This is a reason-
able proposition, one that
has caught a large number
of country housewives. Just
before the fellows depart
they state that the company
requires a receipt for each
machine a document that
shows who possesses it. This
is reasonable and meets no
objections. This is the last
seen of the sales agent, but
the little piece of paper turns
up in due time in the form of
a promissory note. The price
charged for creamer is usu-
ally sixty-eight dollars. The
same machine has been sold
in this town for thirty years
for thirty three dollars and a
better one at thirty five. It is
a smooth confidence game,
but the operators will sooner
or later come to grief.

WASHINGTON You
might say President Barack
Obama cut himself some
extra margin of error Friday
when he claimed 80 percent
of Americans want the debt
crisis solved with a mix of tax
increases and spending cuts.
Polling does suggest, as
Obama said, that Americans
overall and even Republican
voters are open to higher taxes
as part of the solution. But
claiming support from 8 in 10
people was a reach.
A look at his statements
about polling and how they
compare with the actual find-
ings:
OBAMA: You have 80
percent of the American peo-
ple who support a balanced
approach. Eighty percent of
the American people support
an approach that includes rev-
enues and includes cuts. So
the notion that somehow the
American people arent sold is
not the problem.
THE POLLS: A Gallup
poll, cited by the White House
as the main basis for Obamas
statement, actually found that
69 percent supported tackling
the deficit with a mix of spend-
ing cuts and tax increases. An
additional 4 percent favored
tax increases only a group
that does not endorse Obamas
balanced approach but could
reasonably be counted on his
side. That brings his support to
73 percent at most in that poll.
Obama can get closer to 80
percent, but only by counting
those who dont belong in that
group: people who declined to
give an opinion or volunteered
an idea of their own to reduce
deficits.
Overall, the poll found
Americans favor spending cuts
much more than tax increas-
es, while supporting a mix of
both.
The polling, with a margin
of error of plus or minus 4 per-
centage points, was conducted
July 7-10.
Similarly, in a Quinnipiac
poll this week, 67 percent
favored raising taxes on the
wealthy and corporations as
part of the debt-control effort
while 25 percent said that
should be done with spending
cuts only.

OBAMA: The clear major-

ity of Republican voters think
that any deficit reduction pack-
age should have a balanced
approach and should include
some revenues.
THE POLLING: The Gallup
poll indeed found majority
Republican support for a mix
of spending cuts and higher
taxes. Other polls have not.
In the Gallup poll, 41 per-
cent of Republicans supported
a package of mostly spend-
ing cuts meaning some tax
increases and 24 percent
favored an equal share of high-
er tax revenue and lower feder-
al spending. Counting the few
who wanted tax increases to be
the main driver of deficit reduc-
tion, 67 percent of Republicans
favored a mixed approach. The
poll surveyed adults generally
and was not limited to voters,
as Obama suggested.

CALENDAR OF
EVENTS
Dear Annie: My husband
and I have been separated
for three years. Things had
been going well until he got
involved in an offbeat church
and began housing homeless
people of different back-
grounds. I couldnt take it
anymore and left.
He recently took in a
16-year-old foreign girl who
has a toddler and a year-old
infant. This may
sound like char-
ity, but they are
all sleeping in the
same bed. He takes
care of them as if
they are his actual
family. The way he
talks about the girl,
you would assume
they are a couple.
He takes her to
church. She cooks
for him, and he
helps her bathe the
children.
What do you think of this
situation? -- Estranged Wife
in Kansas
Dear Kansas: It sounds
a little peculiar -- especially
the sleeping arrangements. If
your husband is having sex
with this young woman, he
could be breaking the law.
(Not to mention he is still
married to you.) We assume
she is in the country legally,
and it is possible that your
husband has taken her in sim-
ply out of the kindness of his
heart. Since we dont have the
details, we will not jump to
any conclusions.
Dear Annie: I was raised
to look at the big picture and
not sweat the small stuff. So
when I was dating, I didnt
expect to magically meet my
male clone. When I was in
college, I met a funny, bright
young man who had consid-
erable drive and with whom
I shared a common faith.
We fell in love. My friends
warned me that he was a
social bully, but I defended
him and said he was entitled
to state his opinions force-
fully.
We have been married
for several years and have
wonderful children. But I
gave up having a true part-
ner with whom to share my
life, because I blindly mar-
ried a self-centered person
who forces his own agenda
in every situation and is com-
pletely intolerant of anything
that doesnt appeal to him.
We dont travel because he
doesnt like it. We dont go
to movies because he hates
standing in line. We dont
go out to dinner with friends
because he cant hold a civil
conversation. Every car trip
turns into a litany of the faults
of other drivers.
When I was
younger, I thought
it was fine for him
to have such dif-
ferent opinions.
I knew marriage
required compro-
mise. I didnt real-
ize that all the com-
promises would
be on my end. I
should have waited
to meet someone
who shared some
of my opinions and
tastes. I dont know whether
we will spend our golden
years together.
I want to tell young peo-
ple to do an imaginary fast-
forward and ask themselves
how they will feel about their
partners behavior in 10 years
-- and if the behavior you
convince yourself to tolerate
in your soul mate will be
acceptable when demonstrat-
ed in front of your children.
-- California
Dear California: Too
many people, both young and
old, neglect to heed their intu-
ition. They disregard signals
that tell them to be careful,
that some things are unac-
ceptable, that irritations
you are willing to overlook
in the bloom of love can turn
into major headaches later.
Thank you for being the voice
of experience.
Dear Annie: You recently
printed a letter from Turned
Off, who complained about
men who dont trim their
nose and ear hair. She said
their wives should tell them.
Not every man has a wife to
do this, and not all men lis-
ten. My barber automatically
asks me every time I get my
hair cut whether or not I want
my nose hairs or eyebrows
trimmed. Since his job is hair
trimming, this seems a natural
thing for him to do, so there
is no embarrassment. -- Well
Groomed in the Midwest

TOLEDO Most every-
one is somewhat familiar
with the United States of
America National Track and
Field Championships and
Olympic Trials that pick the
American entrants into the
Summer Olympics every four
years.
Not as familiar are the
USATF National Junior
Olympic Track & Field
Championships that help to
lay the foundation for the
elder teams.
Hope Sievert, 9, daughter
of Jeff and Deana (Schmersal)
Sievert of Graytown, Ohio,
and granddaughter of Sandy
and the late Thomas Tucker
Schmersal of Delphos, will
be one of those attending the
2011 Junior Olympic champi-
onships set for July 26-31 in
Cessna Stadium on the cam-
pus of Wichita State (Kansas)
University.
Her speciality: the Bantam
Girls (those born in 2001-02)
1,500-meter run.
She qualified to go
to Nationals by placing
third during the Region 5
Championships held July 10
in Geneva, Ohio, timing it in
6:06.27.
Ive been running since I
was 5 years old in Fremont.
I first started running sprints
but found out I wasnt very
good at it, Hope noted. I
tried the longer race and
found out I was pretty good
at it and liked it. I like the
challenge of it and I try to run
every day.
She also participates in the
800-meter run as she com-
petes for the Toledo Titan
Track Club.
I run with the 9- and
10-year-olds; there arent too
many in that age group run-
ning with me in Toledo. Next
year, Ill be running with the
11- and 12-year-olds, which
will have more, she said.
According to its web site,
the USATF Junior Olympic
Track & Field Championships
is the most visible youth ath-
letic development program in
the world. Many of todays
Olympic stars began their
track and field careers com-
peting in these events.
Competition takes place
in six 2-year age and gen-
der divisions, with athletes
generally falling between the
ages of 8 and 18: Sub-Bantam
Boys and Girls (born 2003+);
Bantam Boys and Girls (born
2001-2002); Midget Boys
and Girls (born 1999-2000);
Youth Boys and Girls (born
1997-1998); Intermediate
Boys and Girls (born 1995-
1996); and Young Men and
Women (born 1993-1994).
I feel good after I race. I
plan to continue doing this as
I get older, she added. The
only other sport I am in is
soccer.
The first round of the
1,500-meter run is set for
11:30 a.m. July 29, which she
hopes wont be her last race.
She is also the great-grand-
daughter of the late Dick and
Rita Klinger.

CENTRAL OHIO
Buckeye Lake (Fairfield/
Licking/Perry counties)
Channel catfish are being
caught around Liebs Island
and Fairfield Beach areas;
fishing with cut shad and
shrimp on the bottom is catch-
ing the most fish. Largemouth
bass are being caught along
cover; target vegetation,
points and riprap using spin-
ner baits, crankbaits and plas-
tics. Hybrid-striped bass can
be caught using spinners or
drifting chicken livers between
Sellers Point and the north
ramp.
Licking River
(Licking Co.)
This river east of
Columbus provides
opportunities for flat-
head and channel cat-
fish, carp and small-
mouth bass. Use live
bait for flatheads in
pools around woody
cover. Cut bait and
nightcrawlers fished
on the bottom can be effec-
tive for channel cats. Carp
can be caught throughout the
river using prepared baits. For
smallmouths, use jigs, baits
that imitate crawfish or tube
baits; fish areas with moving
water around rocks and other
cover.
NORTHWEST OHIO
Blanchard River (Hancock
Co.) The water temperature
is 80 degrees and the water is
muddy. Smallmouths are being
caught during the daytime by
fishing nightcrawlers under a
bobber. The access at CR 139
has been a productive spot.
Scioto River (Hardin Co.)
The water temperature is 80
degrees and the water clarity
is muddy. Channel cats have
been caught in good numbers
during the evening by fishing
nightcrawlers on the bottom.
They have been biting recently
at the access at CR 150.
Ottawa Reservoir (Putnam
Co.) The water is clear and
the water level is normal.
Bluegill are being taken in
the mornings by casting wax
worms or a white twister tail
grub. The southern dike is the
best spot.
Leipsic Reservoir (Putnam
Co.) - The water is clear; level
is normal. Yellow perch are
being taken in the evenings
on worms or minnows under
a slip bobber; the north dike
is producing the best catches.
Saugeye are also being caught
in the evenings by fishing
worms or minnows under a
slip bobber; again, the north
dike seems to be the hot spot.
Auglaize River (Putnam
Co.) The water clarity is
muddy; levels are normal.
Channel cats have been taken
during the evenings by still-
fishing shrimp; the best spot
seems to be around the Ft.
Jennings Park area.
NORTHEAST OHIO
Mosquito Lake (Trumbull
Co.) The summer heat hasnt
put a crimp in the fishing at this
large reservoir. Largemouths
remain in the shallow weed-
beds, where they can be caught
on soft plastics, spinner baits
and buzzbaits. Anglers work-
ing the weed edges with crank-
baits continue to pick up wall-
eyes, while crappie are being
caught offshore; try jig-and-
minnow combinations fished
around 14-18 feet deep for
these tasty eaters.
Portage Lakes (Summit
Co.) The only thing hotter
than the temperature right now
is the catfish bite here. With
almost 1,200 acres of fishable
water, these lakes are always
a good mid-summer fishing
destination. Along with nice
catfish, the bass tend to run
big here and there are ample
opportunities to catch a mess
of sunfish. Beat the heat and
focus your efforts in the late
evening into the night for cat-
fish; the most effective baits
tend to be chicken liver, cut
bait, dough bait and night-
crawlers all fished on bottom.
SOUTHWEST OHIO
Indian Lake (Logan Co.)
The best action has been
early in the morn-
ing and in the eve-
ning. For saugeye,
try trolling with
a Rat-L-Trap or
Shad-Rap; anglers
are reporting slow
fishing from the
shore. Bluegill
have moved off
of the banks and
are hitting around
rocks and docks.
Catfish are biting on chicken
liver, shrimp, cut shad and
nightcrawlers.
Paint Creek Lake (Highland/
Ross counties) Crappies are
hitting along banks around
downed trees; fish in 4-11
feet of water with minnows
or pumpkinseed jigs. Jig for
largemouths in about 4-10
feet of water. Bluegill are hit-
ting wax worms in the coves
around wood. Plenty of chan-
nel cats and shovelheads are
being caught in the spillway
on nightcrawlers and cut shad.
Lake Loramie (Auglaize/
Shelby counties) The best
crappie fishing has been by
boaters working around struc-
ture at 6-7 feet deep; minnows
have been the top bait. For
bluegill, fish from the banks
early and late; during the day,
work the deep brush piles.
Catfish are hitting all over
the lake on nightcrawlers, cut
shad, chicken liver and pre-
pared baits. For bass, fish off
the banks in 7-9 feet of water
with spinners and crankbaits.
SOUTHEAST OHIO
Muski ngum Ri ver
( Wa s h i n g t o n / Mo r g a n /
Coshocton counties) The
water is starting to clear
up as levels go back down.
Smallmouths have been hit-
ting on crankbaits; try target-
ing areas near tail waters and
along the rocky shores. Spotted
bass are actually the dominant
bass species and can be found
throughout; crankbaits, jigs
and white or yellow spinner
baits can all be successful,
especially around cover and
woody debris. Channel cats
are more active after a rainfall
event and can be caught on
a variety of lures including
nightcrawlers, chicken livers
and cut bait; productive sites
tend to be at any of the load-
head dams and at the mouth of
larger tributary streams.
Piedmont Lake (Belmont
Co.) Muskie fishing con-
tinues to be successful in the
area around Sixmile Bay;
orange tiger-striped plugs are
the current favorite near lily-
pads. Some large flatheads
have been taken close to the
marina using bluegill as bait.
Channel cats have been caught
throughout on live bait and
worms. Largemouths are still
being caught in the very early
morning and late at night when
the weather is a bit cooler,
especially running a wacky
style worm.
FISHING REPORT
By NANCY ARMOUR
The Associated Press
FRANKFURT, Germany
A week ago, there were
so few people following the
Americans they could hold
their daily media sessions
around a small table in their
hotel lobby.
Now they need an entire
ballroom.
The frenzy of attention
surrounding the U.S. women
ahead of Sundays final
against Japan is something
theyve never experienced
before, and it has the poten-
tial to fire them up or heap
even more pressure on what
is already the biggest game of
their careers.
I dont think its a dis-
traction, goalkeeper Hope
Solo said. Weve had the
mentality from day one that
we came here for one reason.
Our one and only goal was
to win this tournament, and
I think people are staying
pretty true to that.
But the challenge gets big-
ger with each day.
The Americans are used to
playing in relative anonym-
ity. Oh, Abby Wambach gets
the David Beckham treat-
ment when she goes home to
Rochester, N.Y., and Solo has
a long had a lengthy list of
admirers. For the most part,
though, only the most diehard
soccer fans could have told
you before the World Cup
began what position Megan
Rapinoe plays (midfield) or
what color headband Alex
Morgan always wears (pink).
Then, with one thunder-
ous header by Wambach, the
Americans went Hollywood.
Fans back home are capti-
vated by the teams grit and
perseverance, and charmed
by the players personali-
ties. And in typical American
fashion, when the country
gets behind a team, it goes
all in. Hollywood celebrities
and pro athletes are leading
the bandwagon, and the U.S.
games are now must-see TV.
Even a little thing like work
couldnt keep fans away,
with Wednesdays semifinal
against France played dur-
ing the middle of the day
back home drawing the
fourth-highest rating of any
Womens World Cup game.
Ever.
About 100 journalists
from all corners of the world
turned out for the teams
availability Friday, asking
about everything from the
first time Wambach headed
a ball to Heather OReillys
plans for her Oct. 1 wedding.
No sooner had the media
crush ended than the White
House announced that Vice
President Joe Bidens wife,
Jill, and Chelsea Clinton are
coming for Sundays final.
Its just amazing that this
team has been able to cap-
ture the heart of America,
because normally we cant do
that, Rapinoe said. Thats
just been an amazing feeling.
Were just taking it all in.
We dont get it that much, so
were living it up and trying
to keep it rolling.
To do that, though, the
Americans have to stay
focused on their original
goal: winning the World Cup
title. This is the Americans
first trip to the finals since
1999, the last time they won
soccers biggest prize.
Win, and theyll be cross-
over hits like Mia Hamm,
Julie Foudy and Brandi
Chastain. Come up short, and
all that buzz theyve been
hearing will fade to silence.
We want all those things
that have happened within
the last ... few days to be
worth it and to be meaning-
ful, Wambach said. And
the only way we can do that is
to secure a win on Sunday.
On paper, at least, the
Americans are heavy favor-
ites and, yes, there is a
betting line on this game.
The U.S. is a two-time
World Cup champion, defend-
ing Olympic gold medalist
and the worlds top-ranked
team. Japan has never made
the final in any major tour-
nament, and has yet to beat
the Americans in 25 tries.
The U.S. has a nine-game
winning streak going in the
series, including a pair of 2-0
victories in warm-up matches
a few weeks before the teams
left for the World Cup.
But this isnt the same
Japanese team the Americans
played in May, and they
know it.
Japan stunned Germany,
the two-time defending
champ, in the quarterfinals,
and then made easy work
of Sweden, winning 3-1.
The Nadeshiko have won-
derful ball control and can
hold possession for what
seems like hours, and theyve
shown a nice scoring touch in
Germany, too.
The Japanese are also
playing for a greater purpose,
hoping their success will pro-
vide some relief for a nation
still recovering from the
devastation of the March 11
earthquake and tsunami.
SANDWICH, England
(AP) Lee Westwood was
full of bluster and confidence
on the eve of the British Open.
He said he had the patience to
conquer Royal St. Georges and
win that elusive first major.
By Friday, he was gone.
A second-round 73 sent
a frustrated and irritable
Westwood tumbling out of the
tournament at 4 over, a stroke
below the cut.
The second-ranked
Englishman wasnt the only
big name out before the week-
end. Top-ranked Luke Donald
hit the exits, as did former
winners Padraig Harrington,
Ernie Els, Ben Curtis and Mark
Calcavecchia.
The undulating links course
in southeast England also took
out No. 7-ranked Matt Kuchar
and 2010 U.S. Open champion
Graeme McDowell.
Of the 71 players remaining,
only 13 occupy positions in the
worlds top 30. And two of
the leftovers are amateur play-
ers 20-year-old Englishman
Tom Lewis (1 under) and
21-year-old American Peter
Uihlein (2 over).
The only crumb of comfort
for Donald, who bogeyed his
last four holes for an unchar-
acteristically sloppy 75, is that
hes assured of retaining his
No. 1 ranking next week.
Thats because Westwood
followed him out of
Sandwich.
After his bold claims on
Tuesday that he would master
Royal St. Georges, he sloped
off with barely a whimper,
refusing to talk to reporters.
Much had been expected
of him. A top-three
finisher in all the
majors, he ended
Tiger Woods 281-
week reign as No.
1 in October and
has been one of the
worlds most con-
sistent performers
in 2011.
Westwood start-
ed Friday like he meant busi-
ness, making a birdie at the
par-4 No. 1 to go to even par.
That was as good as it got.
A dropped shot at No. 2 was
soon backed up by a double-
bogey at No. 8, and he couldnt
recover.
Both of Westwoods rounds
were played when the course
conditions were at their most
benign, when the breeze of the
English Channel had largely
relented. No wonder he was
so glum for much of his two
rounds.
The same could be said for
McDowell (5 over), two-time
British Open winner Harrington
(4 over) and Kuchar (11 over),
one of 25 Americans to miss
the cut.
Coming off a win at the
Scottish Open last week,
Donald also seemed primed
to make a run at his first major
victory.
Even after a first-round 71,
Donald who has been atop
the rankings since the end of
May said his game was
there but he missed out by two
shots.
He finished tied for 45th
at last months U.S. Open at
Congressional.
Its the second time this
year that a No. 1 has failed to
make the weekend at a major
Martin Kaymer fell short at
the Masters.
Els missed the cut in his first
Open as an amateur in 1989,
and he didnt miss another until
last year. He won the event at
Muirfield in 2002, the last of
his three majors.
The 41-year-old
South African fin-
ished 8 over like Mark
Calcavecchia, the 1989
champion at Troon
who was 1 under
after the first round at
Sandwich.
The champion the
last time the British
Open was held at Royal St.
Georges is gone, too.
Curtis, who triumphed
unexpectedly here in 2003 as
a rookie, had rounds of 77 and
74 for 11 over.
Tenth-ranked Nick Watney,
winner of the AT&T National
in Pennsylvania last week,
wound up 5 over and Hunter
Mahan botched a chip onto the
green at the par-4 No. 18, two-
putting to miss out by a stroke.
The fluffed shot revived
memories of last years Ryder
Cup at Celtic Manor, when he
mis-hit a pitch from just off the
front of the 17th green to effec-
tively gift McDowell the title.
Six-way tie at Viking
Classic
MADISON, Miss.
Tim Petrovic shot a 7-under
65 in the first round of the
Viking Classic, joining John
Mallinger, Brendon de Jonge,
Peter Lonard, Sunghoon Kang
and Bobby Gates in a six-way
tie atop the leaderboard.
Frequent thunderstorms
over the past several days left
Annandale Country Clubs
Bermuda grass soft. The PGA
allowed players to lift, clean
and place balls in the fairway,
which helped keep scores low.

Reds 6, Cardinals 5
CINCINNATI Brandon
Phillips hit a two-run homer off
Fernando Salas with two outs in
the ninth inning to rally Cincinnati
in the NL Central rivalry.
Phillips connected on the sec-
ond pitch from Salas (5-3) for
his second career game-ending
homer.
St. Louis went up 5-4 in the
eighth on Albert Pujols two-run
homer off Aroldis Chapman. Salas
blew a save for the third time in 19
chances.
Logan Ondrusek (4-3) got the
win.
Chris Heisey hit two solo hom-
ers for the Reds and robbed Pujols
of one in the first inning, snatch-
ing his flyball from the top of the
wall in center. Johnny Cueto pro-
tected the 2-0 lead into the seventh
inning.
Tony Cruzs pinch-hit RBI sin-
gle put the Cardinals up 3-2.
Rookie shortstop Zack Cozart
drove in the tying run with an
infield single, and Joey Vottos
double put the Reds up 4-3.
Indians 6, Orioles 5
BALTIMORE Asdrubal
Cabrera and Grady Sizemore
homered and Lonnie Chisenhall
singled in the tiebreaking run in
the sixth inning, as Cleveland
extended Baltimores losing streak
to nine games matching Buck
Showalters longest skid as a major
league manager.
Michael Brantley had three hits
for the Indians, who improved to
5-0 against Baltimore this season.
Matt Wieters, Nolan Reimold
and Adam Jones homered for the
Orioles, who reached their season
high for consecutive losses and
dropped to 1-14 in their last 15
games.
The only other time Showalter
lost nine straight during his 13-year
career as a manager was in 2003,
with Texas.
Cleveland went ahead for good
in the sixth against Jim Johnson
(5-3) when Matt LaPorta doubled
and Chisenhall lined an RBI single
to right.
Josh Tomlin (11-4) gave up a
career-high three homers in five
innings but improved to 4-0 in his
last six starts.
Chris Perez, the fifth Cleveland
reliever, worked the ninth for his
22nd save in 23 chances.

BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The Purple
Heart is given to US military
personnel who suffer com-
bat injuries caused by enemy
action. It is highly-regarded
as one of the armed forces
highest honors and one local
man is in the application
process after surviving a
roadside bomb in Iraq.
Patrick Redmon, 24, is
part of a brave bloodline
of heroes. His grandfather,
the late Bert Redmon, lived
through the Nazis Death
March as a prisoner of war
in World War II. His father,
Gregory, is a decorated vet-
eran of the Vietnam War and
his older brothers, Jim and
Bert, served in Operation
Desert Storm. In 2007,
Patrick enlisted in the United
States Army with great pride
in his country and family
tradition but will carry more
than that with him through
the rest of his life.
Redmon has permanent
damage from a traumatic
brain injury that occurred
while patrolling an area of
Iraq near the Iran border in
early 2009.
On Feb. 24, 2009, we
were on presence patrol
outside Al-Amarah. We left
around 7 p.m. and got to our
road in about 20 minutes.
We were going up a highway
overpass and took a horse-
shoe kind of a thing to a four-
lane highway. My truck was
the last to come around the
bend and hit 50-pounds of
high explosive with a copper
plate called an Explosively-
Formed Projectile. Theyre
copper bowls and it liquefies
in the center when it blows
up; it goes to the outside and
liquefies and turns into a
giant spear. It blew up right
next to my door and pushed
the 10,000-pound Humvee
across the road. It broke a
bunch of windows, ripped
the top of the overhang off
and broke the mirrors and
lights, he said.
Redmon normally manned
the guns on patrol opera-
tions but chose to drive that
day. He was not wounded in
the blast but was knocked
unconscious for a short time
while the Humvee coasted to
a stop. When he came to, it
took a few minutes to get his
bearings.
I woke up with the
Humvee all beat up and
I couldnt hear anything.
I couldnt see anything;
I patted myself down
and held onto my gun-
ner because he was flop-
ping around and I wasnt
sure what was going on
with him. We made sure
everybody was alright and
by the time I knew what
was going on, we were all
the way up the road, he
said. We were listening
to Highway to Hell by
AC/DC over the headsets
and after it went off, we
couldnt hear anything for
about 30 seconds. Then,
we heard them calling it
in.
Redmon suffered a con-
cussion that gave him per-
manent memory loss, hear-
ing issues, internal pain, loss
of balance and more but his
injuries were not life-threat-
ening. He was supposed to
be on 48-hours bed rest but
went back out on patrol the
next day.
Redmon served a one-
year tour in-country with
the First Cavalry Division.
He was stationed at Forward
Operating Base Gary Owen
when it was fired on.
I was in a rocket attack
that killed two people;
it landed close to me on
the outside of the wall and
knocked me off my feet. We
got in our trucks and drove
to a site out in the middle of
nowhere to a base that was
being built; it only had a
wall up, he said.
He recalls how experi-
encing explosions was very
different than portrayed in
entertainment.
In movies, you see
explosions depicted as these
big fireballs. Explosions
arent big fireballs and when
they hit, you can feel them
in your body. You can feel
your internal organs move.
I felt like I had been hit by
a Mack Truck and its crazy
how loud they are. I still
have ringing in my ears,
he said.
Redmon concluded his
tour in June 2009 and finished
his enlistment at Fort Hood,
being discharged at the begin-
ning of 2010. Many would
say he is too young to only
get an hour or two of sleep
each night because of war but
Redmon has no regrets.
All-in-all, I had a lot of
fun and would do it again.
I made friends I would
have never otherwise made
because the environment is
so different than the civilian
world, he concluded.
Patrick Redmon adds to
familys heroic service
Redmon was wounded while serving in Iraq with the
First Calvary.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
www.delphosherald.com
Sunday, July 17, 2011
Someone you meet in the next
year who is much more experienced
than you could prove to be an
extremely valuable ally. You could
learn things from this person that
would be of immense help in
improving your lot in life.
CanCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Unless you aggressively shop
around, there is a good chance you
will purchase something that is sold
much cheaper elsewhere. Save the
receipt, so you can return it if you
desire.
lEO (July 23-aug. 22) -- Make
an effort not to be critical when at
odds in a discussion with your mate.
All it will take is one sour note to
spoil the harmony you normally
enjoy with your one-and-only.
VIRGO (aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- All your good intentions will be
meaningless if you attempt to give
advice on something about which
you know little. Remember the old
saying: Keep mum when youre
dumb.
lIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
When you add things up at the end of
the day, only to realize you spent most
of your time on trivial endeavors, you
wont think much of yourself. Learn
from this experience.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-nov. 22) --
Speak well of family members when
talking to others, but dont credit them
with accomplishments they never
made. Others might expect them to
live up to your phony stories.
SaGITTaRIuS (nov. 23-
dec. 21) -- It pays to make certain
that you understand every detail in
a legal document before you affix
your signature to it. Ask questions
if youre unclear about some of the
finer points.
CaPRICORn (dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Dont unnecessarily yield
some small advantages in your
business dealings, thinking your
counterpart will automatically grant
you something in return. You cant
count on it.
aQuaRIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Guard against inclinations to take
at face value information coming
from someone you dont know
anything about. This person might be
an expert at misleading people.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- If youre not careful, you can
easily misuse your imagination in an
unproductive manner for emotional
reasons. Unfortunately, youre good
at concocting alibis for things you
want to be true, but arent.
aRIES (March 21-april 19) --
Do not talk ill about a mutual friend
who isnt around at the moment, even
if what you have to say is true. No
one is perfect, including you, and
what goes around comes around.
TauRuS (april 20-May 20) --
Someone who loves to tattle on others
has his or her eyes on you, so be sure
to walk the straight and narrow. The
slightest indiscretion will end up
being the subject of gossip.
GEMInI (May 21-June 20) --
Words of wisdom could spring from
some very unlikely sources, so be
attentive to what everybody has to
say, even those for whom you have
little respect.
MOnday, July 18, 2011
In the year ahead, you are likely
to be elevated from the rear ranks
to a powerful position in a situation
where previously your voice carried
little or no weight. Make sure that
you dont come off too strong, and
look like a bully.
CanCER (June 21-July 22) --
A new development that has gotten
some attention from others could
have more potential than you first
realize. Reassess its ramifications
and what they have to offer.
lEO (July 23-aug. 22) -- An
unsolicited change is likely to play
an important role, drawing you into
an arrangement that you wouldnt
otherwise partake in. As events
unfold, youll be happy you took a
shot.
VIRGO (aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
If you can manage it, align yourself
with an individual whose talents
compliment yours. Partnership
arrangements hold the most promise
for you right now.
lIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Joint endeavors hold the greatest
potential for you, especially when
you team up with someone whom
you like a lot. Collectively, you can
do great things together.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-nov. 22)
-- A friend of yours who has a lot of
clout could be of considerable help to
you. It is likely to be someone with
whom youve done a number of good
things in the past.
SaGITTaRIuS (nov. 23-dec.
21) -- The only way you will get the
results you desire is to see things
through to their conclusions. Make
it a point not to get sidetracked by
unimportant matters.
CaPRICORn (dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Your own interests can be of
great importance to you, but youre
likely to feel the most gratification
when you are doing things that are of
assistance to others.
aQuaRIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- A couple of new channels might
be found that could spice up what
you already have cooking. One of
the more important avenues will
have something to do with your job
or finances.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Some good news could arrive on the
scene, concerning a matter that has
something to do with your financial
affairs. Whatever it is, it will enhance
your material security.
aRIES (March 21-april 19)
-- You might not be the one who has
control over events. It is likely to be
Lady Luck who pulls the strings. But
thank your lucky stars shes on your
side.
TauRuS (april 20-May 20)
-- Something of substance for which
you have long yearned might drop in
your lap without you lifting a single
haunch. If youre in the right place
with the right people at the right time,
the rest will come.
GEMInI (May 21-June 20)
-- Dont be afraid to let people who
are in a position to help know what
you would like to have. At least one
of them will come through for you
and aid you in achieving a significant
objective.

By MARTIGA LOHN

The Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn.
The abrupt agree-
ment on a budget deal
to end Minnesotas gov-
ernment shutdown, in
which Democratic Gov.
Mark Dayton dropped
his call for new taxes
and Republicans agreed
to spend more than they
wanted, has some people
wondering why it had to
happen at all.
They point to the fact
that the deal stemmed
from a proposal
Republicans made on the
eve of the shutdown
before 22,000 state work-
ers were laid off, road
construction was halted,
state parks and two race-
tracks were closed and
some services for the vul-
nerable were suspended.
The shutdown created a
myriad of inconvenienc-
es, even threatening to
push some popular brands
of beer out of bars and
liquor stores.
My thought is, what
are we paying these peo-
ple for if they cant do
their job? asked Crystal
Morales, an Iraq war vet-
eran who was forced to
move her wedding cer-
emony because a mili-
tary chapel in a state park
was closed down. It
should never come to a
shutdown, never. People
should never lose their
jobs because politicians
cant do theirs.
No deal happened
until Thursday, 14 days
into the shutdown, when
Dayton conceded to the
GOP on their core issue
of no new taxes and
gave up the idea of rais-
ing income taxes on the
top earners. And after
months of insisting they
wouldnt agree to higher
spending, Republicans
ceded ground there.
If the details fall into
place, lawmakers could
be back at the Capitol
as early as Monday to
start erasing a $5 bil-
lion deficit and turning
the state governments
lights back on.
Both sides took the
opportunity Friday to
claim victories on their
main issues.
On Minnesota Public
Radio, one of the first
questions for Dayton was
whether the deal could
have been reached with-
out a shutdown.
Whats done is done,
and the important thing
now is to get an agreement
very quickly, Dayton
said. He added: Clearly
my top priority was pre-
venting more drastic cuts
in services that people
depend upon.
The governor said he
would defer his fight to
raise taxes on the wealthy
to another day. If voters
take out their anger on
incumbents in next years
election, Dayton might
have a more favorable
landscape. Legislators
are on the ballot next
November, but hes not
until 2014.
Republican House
Speaker Kurt Zellers
claimed credit for stop-
ping higher taxes during
a shaky period for the
economy.
That was a big deal
for our folks and it was
something we just funda-
mentally believed we did
not need to balance the
budget, Zellers said in
a separate appearance on
Minnesota Public Radio.
The struggle in
Minnesota mirrored the
federal budget showdown
as leaders in Washington
try to attack chronic fiscal
issues possibly resort-
ing to short-term fixes
as part of a deal to
raise the debt ceiling. The
agreement in Minnesota
will delay promised aid
to schools and convert
future tobacco settlement
money into cash now
without really solving
the budget problems that
have started to hurt the
states credit.
It seems like some-
thing couldve been done
to avoid a shutdown, said
Pat Evenwoll, who owns
Berts Cabins, a resort
near the Mississippi River
headwaters in Itasca
State Park. Fifteen days
cost everybody and the
state of Minnesota a lot
of money. We dont have
money we are hurt-
ing for income. These are
hard economic times. We
need to keep businesses
going.
With abrupt deal, Minn. shutdown still upsets many
CHICAGO Marilyn
Monroes billowing skirt
shows its possible to catch
a nice breeze in the Windy
City.
As dozens of people
watched Friday, a 26-foot-
tall sculpture of Monroe
in her famous pose from
the The Seven Year Itch
was unveiled on Chicagos
Magnificent Mile. In the
movie, a draft catches
Monroes dress as she pass-
es over a subway grate.
Many in the crowd that
descended on the plaza
throughout the day
including a tuxedo-clad
wedding party wast-
ed little time position-
ing themselves under the
movie stars dress to catch
a subway-level view and
take pictures with their cell
phone cameras. Not that
Monroe, her eyes closed
and a sublime smile on her
face, seemed to notice.
Some of those who took
pictures of the sculpture
called Forever Marilyn
were surprised when they
came around the side and
back of the sculpture and
saw honest-to-goodness
lace panties on the movie
icon. The film scene and
photographs taken from
it left much more to the
imagination than artist
Seward Johnsons sculp-
ture.
I would have expect-
ed to see something flat
there, and we wouldnt see
her undergarments, said
Trisha Feely, 41, who lives
in the Chicago suburb of
Naperville. Its a little
intrusive.
It reveals what every-
body was always think-
ing, said her husband,
Terry Feely, 42.
The Monroe sculpture
isnt even the first piece of
public art that people can
stand under and look up
at though nobody who
visits the Picasso a few
blocks away quite knows
what theyre seeing.
Marilyn, though, is a
different story.
Thank God, she has
panties, said Wanda
Taylor, voicing the relief
of a mother who wouldnt
have to spend the next sev-
eral hours answering ques-
tions from her 9-year-old
son, Kendall Sculfield.
Theyre clean and white,
so Im happy.
In fact, just about the
only ones who werent
happy with the view were
Kendall and his 11-year-
old buddy Raymond
Qualls who made sure
everybody understood that
when he took his picture,
it was from the front of the
sculpture and not behind
or under it.
I think her dress should
be down, said Kendall, as
Raymond nodded in agree-
ment.

NEW YORK When an
8-year-old boy from an insu-
lated, ultra-Orthodox Jewish
neighborhood in Brooklyn
failed to make it home from
day camp, his parents first
call was not to the police, but
to the Shomrim patrol, a local
volunteer group whose name
means guardians in Hebrew.
Hasidic areas like Borough
Park, where a Shomrim-
organized search party looked
for little Leiby Kletzky, are
worlds unto themselves.
Their members are iden-
tifiable by their distinctive
appearance wigs and mod-
est dresses for the women,
beards and side curls for the
men. Community members
send their children to Jewish
schools, speak Yiddish as a
first language and shun mod-
ern distractions like televi-
sion.
Yet another distinction is
the patrols, which residents
turn to first because they
know the community, they
speak the language, they have
the trust of the entire com-
munity, said Isaac Abraham,
a leader of the ultra-Orthodox
in Brooklyns Williamsburg
section.
The search party for Leiby
grew to as many as 5,000
people and served as a win-
dow into the tradition in these
ultra-Orthodox communi-
ties of relying on each other,
which stems in part from a
history of persecution against
Jews in Eastern Europe.
Weve always come
together, said Shmuel
Eckstein, a friend of the
Kletzkys who was praying
with the family Thursday.
Its what weve always done,
historically.
Neighbors looking for
the boy stopped knocking
on doors Wednesday when
his remains were found and
police arrested Levi Aron, a
35-year-old hardware supply
clerk who has pleaded not
guilty to charges that he killed
Leiby and dismembered him.
Despite the endeavors
tragic end, the search was
a powerful example of the
value of Shomrim and similar
patrols to their communities,
said state Sen. Eric Adams,
a retired NYPD captain who
represents a neighboring
Brooklyn district.
The community patrols
have the manpower that can
immediately go into the crev-
ices of a community that
police may not even be aware
of, he said. The deploy-
ment of the community patrol
allows the police to go further
in their search because the
community group was on the
ground.
Shomrim members have
been credited with helping
police make arrests, even
while placing themselves in
danger. Four patrol members
were wounded in Brooklyn
last September as they were
tailing a man they suspected
of exposing himself to young
girls.

After 105 years, the three
masts of the Queen of the Lakes
still stand erect all the more
remarkable because the 19th-
century Canadian schooner
has sat in the dark depths of
Lake Ontario since it wrecked
in 1906.
We think it hit bow first
because the bowsprit is broken
off, but the rest of the ship looks
pretty nice, undersea explorer
Jim Kennard said Friday.
Kennard and fellow ship-
wreck enthusiasts Dan Scoville
and Roland Stevens located
the 129-foot-long vessel using
side-scan sonar in 2009. They
confirmed the find and captured
images of it in early July using a
remotely operated submersible.
Loaded with 480 tons of
coal, the 53-year-old ship ran
into a stiff gale in November
1906, sprung a leak and sank
rapidly some 10 miles off Sodus
Bay on the lakes southern
shore. The crew of six clam-
bered aboard a yawl and rowed
to safety.
The ship sits on the lake bed
at a depth of 200 to 300 feet.
Its masts extend as much as
100 feet upward in calm, frigid
waters deprived of oxygen, con-
ditions that account for how
well its preserved.
The invasive mussels were
not introduced to the lake sys-
tem until the past 15 years or
so.
But both anchors and the
mussel-coated wheel are firmly
in place. Cables that held the
masts in place lie in coils on
the deck and a steam-powered
winch that might have been
added in the early 1900s is vis-
ible in the bow section.

Whats done
is done, and the
important thing
now is to get an
agreement very

my top prior-

cuts in services
that people
depend upon.

high school is leveled,
were planning on laying a
concrete parking lot, which
should help with that prob-
lem.
Although the old build-
ing was falling apart, there
are certain things the stu-
dents, faculty and alumni
will miss, like the class
murals.
Each senior class
would create a mural,
and this is a very beloved
tradition, he said. The
murals were on plaster, so
it was difficult for us to
find a way to save them.
Our solution was to digi-
tize them, and when you
walk in the main entrance
to the new high school
there are two screens on
either end. Youll be able
to enter the year you grad-
uated and it will pull up
the digital version of your
class mural.
There will be a formal
dedication of the building
in September and a sepa-
rate grand opening for the
auditorium in October.
We got lucky with a lot
of different things through-
out the project, especially
the location, Parker said.
We originally had another
piece of land in mind until
this one became available.
Now, with all of the build-
ings next to each other, it
gives it a campus type of
feel which is really conve-
nient. Its very exciting to
get to show everything off
now that were putting the
finishing touches on.
