DELPHOS — On Monday, Del-phos residents will notice a change at the Delphos Police Department. Dis-patching will be moved to the Allen County Sheriff’s Department Dispatch Center at 10 a.m. and at 4 p.m., the lob-by door will be locked to the public.
“There won’t be any access to the lobby until we get the two new part-time clerks trained,” Police Chief Kyle Fittro said Friday. “Once we get those people in the chairs, the lobby will be open 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday
through Friday.”Eliminating the dispatchers at
the station will save the city nearly $40,000 this year and approximately $110,000 per year beginning in 2015. Delphos City Council officially ap-proved a separation agreement for dispatchers earlier this month.
Allen County Sheriff Sam Crish explained the way the dispatching from a Delphos resident on the Allen County side would work.
“The call will come in and we will directly dispatch it to the police or fire and rescue departments,” he said. “Actually, it will eliminate a small amount of lag time. Those calls come
in to us now and we transfer them to Delphos and then they dispatch the appropriate party.”
All 911 calls made from cell phones and landlines from Allen County are automatically sent to the county dispatch.
Crish said there will be issues that will have to be worked out.
“There are going to be bumps in the road,” he said. “We have not had any life-threatening problems and hope-fully we won’t but there will be things that arise we’ll need to address.”
While most 911 calls from Del-phos go into the Allen County cen-ter, Van Wert County 911 Coordina-
tor Kim Brandt said her center does handle a few.
“Cell phone calls can bounce around from county to county, de-pending on how busy the tower is at the time of the 911 call,” Brandt said. “We have noticed that call delivery is more accurate than it was a few years ago, but there is still room for improvement.”
Fittro said the new operations poli-cies will be difficult for some.
“We have a lot of people who come to the police station for many different reasons,” he said. “Some may be reporting a crime and others may be looking for an accident report.
We went over our records for the last year and it’s a 60-40 split in favor of the person wanting to speak to an of-ficer or detective.”
A call box will be placed on the outside of the lobby door. When the button is pushed, it will connect the person with the Allen County Sheriff’s Office. Once the nature of the call is understood, an officer will be called to the station or the person will be trans-ferred to a phone tree for the municipal building, the police department of the fire department and asked to leave a voice mail for the appropriate person.

New events for the old fashionedBy ed GeBertDHI Media Editor
VAN WERT — Being old fashioned does not mean that nothing ever changes. To prove this, check out the new additions to the sched-ule for the 38th annual Old Fashioned Farmers Days at the Van Wert County Fair-grounds. The event runs from Thursday, July 3 through Sunday, July 6, and festival-goers can expect a lot of the favorite events and displays this year, and also some new crowd-pleasers.
Making debuts this year will be the classic rock/clas-sic country group, the Dixie Cadillacs who will help cel-ebrate July 4 with a perfor-mance at the gospel Pavilion Friday from 1-5 p.m. The Clown with a Heart, Grace C. Giggles will be on hand Saturday from noon until 2 p.m. making balloon ani-mals for the kids and putting smiles on everyone’s face. Also the Van Wert County Fair Board presents a draft horse pull Friday night at the grandstand beginning at 7 p.m. And the grandstand seats offer a great view of the July 4 Fireworks after the pulling is done.
Of course, Old Fashioned Farmers Days means old
tractors and equipment will be on display. This year’s fea-tured brand is John Deere, so look for a sea of green trac-tors on the grounds. These displays will go on all four days, as well as saw mill-ing, threshing, flea markets, a trading post, animal land, barrel rides for the kids, and
plenty of great food.Thursday, July 3 will be
Senior Citizen Day with an-tique auto racing, a car show with 50s music and country gospel music performed by Jess King.

A new generation of energy products coming to Van Wert County Fair
dHI MedIa StaFF [email protected]
VAN WERT — There is hope for relief from sky-high energy prices, and local resi-dents will get a chance to see the future during the Van Wert County Fair this year.
The county’s first energy expo, known as NRG XPO, sponsored by Trillium CNG and Iberdrola Renewables, will give vendors of alternative and sustainable energy products expo-sure to fair-goers this year. Informa-tion will also be available on how to apply for grants, manufacturer rebates, and tax rebates. Other inno-vations in the green energy industry will be featured also.
The NRG XPO is being organized by the Van Wert County Economic Development Office after the County Commissioners were approached earlier this year with the idea and saw a need for leadership and education in this subject area.
“We want to feature all the potential that ex-ists in the alternative energy arena,” said Eco-nomic Development Director Sarah K. Smith. “Van Wert County is already recognized for
their work with Iberdrola’s Blue Creek Wind Farm and soon, Trillium CNG on the national scale, but there is still so much education and enterprise in this field at a local level. We aim to showcase and present an avenue to provide information to our residents and people who struggle with energy-related expenses and in-quiries everyday. If there is a way to help any-
one figure out how they can save money and do it in an environ-mentally-friendly way, we want to do that.”
According to Smith, the NRG XPO will run Saturday through Monday of fair week, Aug. 30-Sept. 1 on the fairgrounds. The event will feature several exhibi-tors and guest speakers. Already
committed to the expo are: Eco Jiva—solar en-ergy; Midwest Electric; Haviland Energy; the Ohio Soybean Council; Energize Engineering; the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, Su-perior Energy Solutions; Van Wert Recycling; local composting educator Dawn Marshall; Weatherization; Iberdrola and Trillium CNG.
Exhibition space is still available by con-tacting the Van Wert County Economic Devel-opment Office at (419) 238-6159.

Summer is the prime time for recreation at Ohio State Parks and unfortunately the growth of harmful al-gal blooms (HABs), toxin-producing bacteria that can cause illness, irritation and sometimes even death in pets, livestock and humans.
Harmful algal blooms are not algae at all. They are made up of cyanobacteria, which are also called “blue-green algae,” and many spe-cies can generate toxins that impact people.
Currently in Ohio, Grand Lake Saint Marys and Buck-eye Lake State Park have Recreational Public Health Advisories posted due to the high toxin levels emitted by the harmful blooms. Grand Lake Saint Mary’s Park Manager Brian Miller said samples of lake water are tested weekly and an analy-sis is performed every other week.
“When the algal blooms die off, they create Micro-cystin toxins which are not seen with the naked eye,” he explained. “What you can see in dead-end back wa-ters are areas that look as if there is a scum or pigments of green and blue on top of the water.”
According to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, HABs are com-mon in most Ohio lakes. They grow thick by feeding on phosphorus from ma-nure, fertilizers and sewage that rain washes from agri-cultural fields into nearby streams. HABs have colors that are green, blue-green,
brown, black, white, purple, red and black. They can look like film, crust or puff balls at the surface and may look like grass clippings or dots in the water. Some harmful blooms look like pea soup, foam, wool, streaks or green cottage cheese curd.
OEPA Media Coordinator Dina Pierce said the World Health Organization’s stan-dard for Microcystin toxins is set at 20 parts per billion (ppb).
“Ohio’s extra conserva-tive six ppb threshold covers individuals who are elderly or very young and people with compromised immune systems that swimming or wading is not recommend-
ed,” she said.Pierce explained HABs
can occur almost anywhere there is water; lakes, ponds, storm water retention basins, rivers, streams or reservoirs.
Miller said the lake has algal blooms all year long and with the warmer season, they will increase.
“If an individual would visit one of the beaches to-day, they will not see that scum or “spilled paint” look-ing pigmentation on the wa-ter,” he explained. “Instead, there is a green tint to the water.”

According to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) HABs are common in most Ohio lakes. They grow thick by feeding on phosphorus from manure, fertilizers and sewage that rain washes from farm fields into nearby streams.

They can look like film, crust or puff balls at the surface and may look like grass clippings or dots in the water.

A man who nearly lost his life in New York City’s first instance of bubonic plague in more than 100 years has died of an unrelated illness in a Santa Fe, New Mexico, hospi-tal, his wife said Thursday.
John Tull was diagnosed with a rare cancer last month, but doctors didn’t believe it was connected to his previous health struggles, said Lucinda Marker, his wife. Tull was 65 when he died Wednesday.
In November 2002, the New Mexico couple was on vacation in the Big Apple when both came down with flu-like symptoms including a fever and swollen lymph nodes. They were diagnosed with the plague, an exceeding-ly rare disease that wiped out a third of Europe in the 14th century. It was considered New York’s first plague case in more than a century, but doctors said Tull and Marker had likely become infected back home in Santa Fe.
While Marker recovered within days, Tull was hos-pitalized for more than two months. He fell into a coma and both of his feet were am-putated.
With the case coming in the relative aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks, speculation and scrutiny were rampant. Mark-er said she was questioned for days by a “parade of people” from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the FBI and New York City health officials.
“They thought we were possibly terrorists or victims of bioterrorism,” Marker said.
Dr. Ronald Primas, the New York physician who di-agnosed and treated them, remembers the media frenzy
surrounding their cases. “I did like 40 interviews in two days,” he said.
Primas said everyone want-ed to know if there was evi-dence the plague was caused by bioterrorist activity or if it would spread.
“Had (John) waited an-other day, had he gone out into the public with the cough he had, theoretically he could have spread it,” Primas said.
About seven plague cases are reported across the U.S. each year, and the disease can be treated with antibiot-ics, according to the CDC. Worldwide, between 1,000 and 2,000 cases are reported to the World Health Organiza-tion, the CDC says.
Fleas that feed on in-fected rodents or other mam-mals typically transmit the plague bacteria. Researchers have said the case of Tull and Marker was pivotal in helping them understand why plague persisted in Santa Fe County, where the couple lived.

On June 2, the U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency proposed a nationwide framework to cut carbon pollution from power plants. Pro-ponents say that climate change is already pos-ing risks to our nation’s health and economy.
The EPA says the Clean Power Plan will maintain an affordable, reliable energy system, while cutting pollution and protecting the na-tion’s health and environment now and for fu-ture generations.
Columbus Public Health Department’s Sec-tion Chief of the Division of Environmental Health Luke Jacobs said public health and cli-mate change go hand-in-hand.
“We applaud President Obama and the EPA’s effort to reduce carbon emissions,” he said. “We
hope Ohio carries forward with the plans of re-ducing carbon emissions.”
Power plants are the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions in the United States, making close to one-third of all domestic greenhouse gas emissions.
The plan puts the nation on track to cut carbon pollution from the power sector by 30 percent by 2030 — that’s about 730 million metric tonnes of carbon pollution. That equates to the annual emissions from more than 150 million cars, or almost two-thirds of the nation’s passenger vehi-cles; or the annual emissions from powering 65 million homes, over half the homes in America.
“CO2 is one of the two major greenhouse gases contributing to global warming which impact our environment in detrimental ways,” Jacobs explained. “One of the main concerns is the migration of mosquitoes — specifically those carrying the chikungunya virus that’s spreading in the Caribbean.”
Health officials report the disease carrying vectors may have landed in Tennessee.
Jacobs said the hot, dry and wet climate im-pacted by the changes in environment are the catalyst for the migration.
The Clean Power Plan has reported public health and climate benefits worth an estimated
$55 billion to $93 billion per year in 2030, out-weighing the costs of implementation at $7.3 bil-lion to $8.8 billion.
According to the EPA’s Fact Sheet By the Numbers, reducing exposure to particle pol-lution and ozone will avoid a projected 2,700-6,600 premature deaths, 140,000-150,000 asth-ma attacks in children, 340-3,300 heart attacks, 2,700-2,800 hospital admissions and 470,000-490,000 missed school and work days.
The EPA estimates that from the soot and smog reductions alone, for every dollar invested through the Clean Power Plan, American fami-lies will see up to $7 in health benefits.
The Clean Power Plan will reduce smaller pollutants that contribute to the soot and smog that make people sick.
“We are concerned about smaller particulate matter — PM2.5, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide — and anytime we have the ability to reduce them, the health field is supportive of that,” Jacobs confirmed.
In the U.S., there are 1,000 fossil fuel-fired power plants with 3,000 units covered by the plan. Utility planners are already making plans to address an aging fleet; the average age of coal units is 42 years; the average age of oil units is 36 years; and the average age of natural gas
combined cycle units is 14 years.State climate, energy efficiency and renew-
able energy policy statistics are in place in some states, cities and businesses which have set en-ergy efficiency targets increasing their use of renewable energy to cut carbon pollution.
Ohio law contains an alternative energy portfolio standard requiring 25 percent of electricity sold by Ohio’s electric distribution utilities or electric services companies must be generated from alternative energy sources by 2025. At least half of this energy must come from renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, biomass and hydro with a minimum of one-half percent coming from solar resources. One-half of the renewable energy facilities must be located in Ohio.
The EPA also reports that there are currently 47 states with utilities that run demand-side energy efficiency programs, 38 states with re-newable portfolio standards or goals, 10 states with market based greenhouse gas emissions programs and 27 states with energy efficiency standards or goals.
Each state’s initial plan or complete plan is due June 30, 2016, and some states may be eli-gible for one or two year extensions when pro-posing either an individual or multi-state plan.

Clean Power Plan aims to cut CO2 emissions by 30 percentThis is the first article in a series which will explore the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan and its impact on nationwide and state levels.
BY NANCY SPENCERDHI Media Editor
DELPHOS — Glenna (Collins) Gos-sman will celebrate her 100th birthday today and according to the centenarian, she has no complaints.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my life,” she said Thursday. “I enjoyed being mar-ried and raising my son and I enjoyed working and taking care of my family.”
Gossman was born on June 28, 1914, in Crooksville just outside of Zanesville. She married Clarence Gossman when she was 24 and they had a son, Roger, when she was 29. That suited Gossman perfectly.
“I loved family life,” Gossman said. ”I enjoyed cooking and everything that went along with it. I made pies, cakes and cookies and we had fried chicken most every Sunday.”
Crooksville was known for pottery in the 1930-60s and items from Hull Pot-tery and Watt Pottery are now collector’s items with some pieces highly sought after. The patterns on those dishes and knickknacks may have been painted by Gossman.
“I worked at Hull until it burned down in June 1950 and then I worked at Watt for another 15 years or so,” Gossman said. “I enjoyed every minute of that. I loved what I did and the people I worked with. I still have some pieces but we gave a lot of it away.”
Gossman said the pottery would come down an assembly line and her job one day might be to paint flowers on each piece and the next day, leaves or stems.
She worked at Hull when a flood and subsequent fire burned the factory to the ground. She then moved to the Watt plant until a fire destroyed that factory in Oc-tober 1965.
A mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Gossman has been through two World Wars and the Korean, Viet-nam and Iraq wars, the Great Depression, Kennedy’s assassination and many other historical happenings. For the first 40 years of her life, she heard about current events on the family’s radio. Her parents, Harley and Emma Collins, didn’t have
electricity on their farm outside Crooks-ville until the late 1940s or early 1950s.
The Depression sticks out in her mind.“You had to cut corners,” she recalled.
“Some things you always had before, you had to do without. Neighbors helped each other to get through the rough times. Ev-erything was expensive and we didn’t have a lot of money. I took great pride in my home because you had to work hard to get yourself ahead.”
Gossman now resides at Vancrest Healthcare Center in Delphos so her son and daughter-in-law, Vicki, can assist in her care. She enjoys watching “Wheel of Fortune” and is an avid Reds and OSU fan.
When asked what she thought about technology and the advancements she’s seen in her life, she was very candid.
“All those things are nice but what matters is people,” she said. “You need to stay involved with your family and your friends. I’ve had so many wonderful friends. I’ve had a good life.”
Gossman turns 100 today

Watercraft officers participate in Operation Dry Water, June 27-29
INFORMATIONSUBMITTED
COLUMBUS – The Ohio Department of Natural Re-sources (ODNR) is participat-ing in Operation Dry Water this weekend, as part of a nationally coordinated effort to reduce the number of accidents and deaths related to boating under the influ-ence (BUI) of drugs or alcohol.
“Consuming alcohol on a boat can have serious, and even deadly, consequences,” said Gary Obermiller, chief of the ODNR Division of Watercraft. “It is critical for drivers and pas-sengers to stay sober and stay safe at all times while boating.”
The leading factor in boater deaths nationwide is alcohol use while boating. Operation Dry Water will focus on increased patrols, breathalyzer tests and checkpoints as well as boater education about the dangers of boating under the influence.
Last year during the three-day Operation Dry Water, ODNR Di-vision of Watercraft officers con-tacted boaters on 456 vessels and made 10 arrests for boating under the influence (BUI).
In Ohio, boaters whose blood alcohol content (BAC) level exceeds the state limit of .08 can expect to be arrested for BUI and face other serious penalties, including fines, jail and loss of privileges to regis-ter and to operate boats.
Operation Dry Water is a joint program of the ODNR Di-vision of Watercraft, the Nation-al Association of State Boating Law Administrators, the U.S. Coast Guard and local marine patrol officers. For more infor-mation on Operation Dry Water, visit operationdrywater.org.
The ODNR Division of Wa-tercraft is responsible for boat-ing safety, education and law enforcement on all waters of the state. This statewide area includes the near-shore area along 451 miles of the Ohio River, approximately half the entire surface area of Lake Erie, more than 605 inland lakes and more than 60,000 miles of inland streams, rivers and other waterways.

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-Busting Material Into ‘Miracle Socks’for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
“Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”paid advertisement
What part of your swollen, tired,or achy feet would you like to see‘go-away’?
If you suffer from poor circula-tion, injury, swelling or any condi-tion that leaves your feet fatiguedand sore, then read on to discoverthe breakthrough that can changeyour life.
Good news comes in the form ofa ‘pain-busting microfiber’ that isused to weave a circulation-boost-ing sock, called BambusaTM.
Better Blood FlowThe ‘miracle sock’ is made from
a new, patented anion-technologythat is weaved into every strand ofthread used to make a BambusaTM
sock. This special micro-fiberthread is made from revolutionarybamboo charcoal to stimulateblood flow and revitalize feet.When this material comes in con-tact with body-heat it is proven torelease circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology usedin the material has been comparedto infrared light therapy to help re-vitalize stiff and sore muscles. Themanufacturer, who also makes aback and wrist sleeve, says the ma-terial provides almost instant reliefto any part of the body it touches,making it ideal for diabetics, ath-letes, inflammation, stiffness andswelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.“Bambusa socks are absolutely themost comfortable socks I have everworn! My feet are no longer fa-tigued!”
TherapyWithout A Prescription!When the socks were pho-
tographed using a thermographicimaging camera, results showed upto a 17% to 22% increase in bloodflow. This helped to improve mus-cle oxygenation and decrease footfatigue. The socks have been provento provide extended relief fromcold, swollen and fatigued feet.
DoctorRecommended
Pain specialistof 30 years, Dr.Jahner commentson the 3D-weavetechnology. “In-frared therapy hasbeen used foryears at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circula-tory conditions. Physical therapistsuse infrared therapy to speed re-covery. Better blood flow equalsless pain. This microfiber worksmuch the same way.”
"Circulatory dysfunction affectsMOST of the adult population inthe United States. Heart Disease,Strokes and Diabetic conditions areat epidemic levels; anything thatimproves circulation improves cel-lular health and vitality. I use theBambusa product myself and rec-ommend it to my clients. It reallyworks!” states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with histired, swollen feet. “Without exag-geration the relief was almost in-stantaneous. It is like a heating padset to low and wrapped around mycalf. I will be replacing my entireset of dress socks with thesesocks!”

ical device or compression socksbecause they don’t restrict bloodflow. Utilizing the special negative-anion technology, they comfortablyincrease blood flow and oxygen totissues. “My feet felt wonderful,cool, and I never got that pins andneedles feeling anymore. I love myBambusaTM socks,” says Nancy,from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics andthose suffering from neuropathy orinjury from repetitive use. Bam-busaTM socks can also bring com-fort to tired legs within minutes ofputting them on, energizing indi-viduals who spend long hours ontheir feet.
Goodbye to Pain and NumbnessMarilyn H. has suffered persist-
ent foot problems for years and no-ticed fast results. “The issue for mewas persistent numbness in mytoes - it was gone completely aftera few days of wearing these socks!Being diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”
“I went out on the golf coursefor 18 holes of golf, and when I gothome my feet weren’t swollen,they weren’t sweating and my feetdidn’t hurt,” says Lou B. from NewYork.
BENEFITS: • Increased blood flow and oxygen • Reduced swelling and pain • Anti-microbial • Wicks away moisture • Increased range of motion

We’ve all been there. You’re sick and you miss a few days of work and need a doctor’s slip saying you were too sick to work but now you’re all better and can rejoin your co-workers.
What if you’re not sick and you want a day off or maybe just an afternoon to … watch the U.S. mens soccer team play for a spot in the next round in the FIFA World Cup.
Most wouldn’t dare sneak away from the factory or office for such a thing. What if it was OK? What if it was sanctioned by U.S. Men’s National Team head Coach Jurgen Klinsmann and carried the seal of someone really important … like the President?
On Thursday, Klinsmann posted this for Americans to print off and take to work to gain a few hours off the clock to cheer for the U.S. team.
To whom it may concern:Please excuse (insert name) from work on Thursday, June
26th.I understand that this absence may reduce the productivity
of your workplace, but I can assure you that it is for an impor-tant cause. The #USMNT has a critical World Cup game vs. Germany and we will need the full support of the nation if we are to advance to the next round.
By the way, you should act like a good leader and take the day off as well. Go USA!
Jurgen KlinsmannHead CoachU.S. Men’s National TeamNice.
I wish more occasions cropped up like this. I’m sure it brought a smile to or two and perhaps bosses were willing to look the other way for an hour or so in support of the team. New York Mayor Andrew Cuo-mo fell in line and gave all state employees an extra hour for lunch to catch the game.
I haven’t been watching a lot of the FIFA World Cup; just enough to know that I don’t understand the rules and Marouane Fellaini has some fine hair. He rocks it! I love the caterpillar eyebrows, too. He knows who he is, has no apologies and has used the beautiful bouffant to score goals.
Cameron played soccer for a couple of years. He played de-fense and wasn’t bad. He said he just got tired of running. Um, it is soccer.
I have found myself following a play and all of a sudden the inner dialogue starts: Oh, to the left. No, no, no. Don’t go that way. Yes, pass it to him and then get back. Yes. Run. No, no. Don’t kick it from there. How did you think that shot could ever have been a goal? Oh, man. Now it’s all the way down at the other end.
I love the goalie mitts, too. Nothing like some big ol’ car-toon hands to make the game fun.
Dang. Now I want to see Fellaini with the mitts on and that big hair.

To the editor,On Saturday June 14, I sent a letter disparaging a local auto
dealership. By 10 a.m. that morning I had received a call from the general manager of that dealership. He stated that he was unaware of the situation and seem very concerned and asked what I thought needed to be done. I said I felt the item should be fixed. He promised to have the service manager call me on Monday. I did receive the call and took the vehicle back to them to be fixed.
Although it took ten days (to be fair, two of those days were a weekend) to get the problem solved, it was fixed. Believe me folks, I was not trying to get something for free. I am just of the opinion that if you are going to sell something (whether “as is” or not), it should be right before being sold. I am sure that the dealership may have a different opinion, but we are all entitled to our own. The fact that the dealership stood tall and responded to my complaint says much about them. I believe if I were to purchase another vehicle I would feel good about doing business with them. So again I want to thank the dealership for keeping its promises.

To the editor,Once again, we are so proud and thankful to live in the com-
munity of Van Wert.
It has been six years since the first accident of Tyler’s and yet the local churches continue to pray for him. The Van Wert City School and all of its staff and employees, too many to list, have worked so hard to assure Tyler the best education and the students’ support and friendship have been awesome.
Graduation day began as a difficult day for Tyler, as he re-alized he would not be seeing his friends and classmates in school anymore but once again this wonderful community dis-played its never-ending support with a standing ovation as Ty-ler received his diploma. What a humbling experience that was for our family and most of all for Tyler to realize how much they support and care for him.
And thank you Times Bulletin for printing Tyler’s picture in the paper receiving his diploma. Just another fine example of this community’s support for him.
We are so very grateful for this community’s support and prayers for Tyler all these years and we hope it continues as he begins his adult life.
You are the best Van Wert!The proud grandparents of Tyler PriestBob and Marcia PriestVan Wert

LETTERS/A7
I haven’t been enrolled in school for many years, but it seems we are always quizzed in life. I’m not talking about figuring out which fork in the road to take or deciding if your friend is telling the truth or not. I’m talking about mag-azine-type quizzes.
Back in my younger days, non-school quizzes were mostly out of Cosmopoli-tan magazine. My research shows they still have all these silly quizzes (at least on their website, I’m not shelling out money to do research!), and they seem to be rather limited in subject. There are personal-ity quizzes (Would anybody put up with me?), relationship quizzes (Would anyone of the opposite sex put up with me?), and of course, intimacy quiz-zes (Would anyone of the op-
posite sex… ), and that’s pret-ty much the whole selection. The current intimacy quizzes have off titles, in my opin-ion. Do Guys Think You’re Sexy? (I hope not), Are You Good in Bed? (I am a good sleeper), and How Much Sex Appeal Do You Have? (I’m scared to get near this one). All I really know for sure is that if my date had been tak-ing a Cosmo Quiz before I picked her up for our date, I didn’t stand a chance because they all seemed to be targeting men as good-for-nothing pigs. I didn’t want my date to find that out too early. I preferred to spring it on her later!
Now the online world has brought forth a whole host of ridiculous quizzes which seem to have no real mean-ing or worth whatsoever. I
took one this week to find out Which Barry Manilow Song Are You? I dodged “Copa-cabana,” thankfully enough, but got “Can’t Smile Without You” instead. Now the prob-lem is trying to figure out what that means: Is it bad or good? Does this mean I need the company of a specific person to be happy? Does this mean I also can’t laugh or can’t sing? Or am I overthinking this? If I had gotten “Copacabana” as a result, would that have meant I should be named Rico and wear a diamond? Or wear a dress cut down to there? The results page simply is no help.
So I decided more quiz-zes might help. What Song Was Actually Written About You? I got “Wild Thing” by the Troggs. I must be quite the rebel. What Broadway Musi-
cal Are You? I’m “West Side Story,” despite the fact that I live on the east side. What Kind of Storm Are You? I’m a blizzard, cold and windy. How do all these things fit together? I have no idea.
With no explanation any-where, I will use my computer to pull up an actual random quiz. Let’s take it together. You won’t know your result, but I have a feeling that’ll be as useful and accurate as what I’ll get.

“We can no longer wait for Congress to do its job… So where Congress won’t act, I will.”
- President Obama in his October 29, 2011 weekly radio ad-dress
“We’ve got a lot to do in 2014. I’ve got a pen, and I’ve got a phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward …”
- President Obama to his Cabinet during the first meeting of 2014 (January 14, 2014)
As the head of the executive branch of the U.S. government, we expect the President to act as a leader. It fits the American culture where we want our leaders to be take-charge individuals. That makes it easy to understand how there were some people in the country who stood up and cheered when President Obama said he was tired of the gridlock in Congress and that he would press forward, by himself if need be, to accomplish the items that he thought needed to be accomplished.
A funny thing happened along the way to “getting things done”, however. What President Obama said he would do was not legal.
On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled President Obama stepped over the limits of his authority when he made recess ap-pointments to the National Labor Relations Board in 2012. He made the move because of his frustration over the lack of progress in filling the positions. The problem is the U.S. Senate argued it never went into recess, gaveling in and out every three days as required.
Most importantly, this ruling was not a squeak-by-on-a-partisan-vote decision. The Justices ruled 9-0 against President Obama’s power grab and in favor of Congress.
Let’s say that again: None of the Justices believed President Obama had the authority to act as he did.
When was the last time there was universal agreement on any-thing in Washington D.C.? Now, because of the Supreme Court ruling, more than 420 decisions made by the NLRB since the ap-pointments are under scrutiny. It will most likely take years and hundreds of millions of dollars to sort out the mess and all the soon-to-be-filed lawsuits.
But the issue with the executive branch taking liberties with its authority has just begun. A day earlier Speaker of the House John Boehner said he was planning a lawsuit against President Obama, calling into question multiple executive orders and actions that ei-ther contradict standing law or skirt the enacting of law through Congress.
Now, to be fair, the lawsuit may go no where. The problem will be Boehner proving “standing” that a concrete, personal injury has been done to him by the President’s actions or inactions.
But that is not the point. The point is our federal government has arguably reached a point it has never been to in history. When the Constitution was written, it provided for a series of checks and balances to ensure no one branch of the government became more powerful than another. In this case, if a President was attempting to act outside of the ability of the executive office, for instance writing executive orders that were treated as laws, then Congress could pass laws that nullified his actions.
However, President Obama has already shown, and boasted about, his willingness to only enforce the portions or whole laws he agrees with.
So, Congress’ only remaining power would be to call for im-peachment hearings. While an impeachment may pass the Re-publican-led House of Representatives, it will certainly fail in the Democrat-led Senate where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will not even call for votes on House-passed legislation.
With the President picking and choosing what laws to uphold or enacting laws on his own and Congress unwilling or unable to defend its Constitutional powers, Americans are left with some-thing they never wanted to see: a Constitutional crisis that could define the make up of the federal government for decades.
We can only wait to see who comes out on top.

Political correctness dic-tates never to label as “crazy” beliefs held by a culture. In-stead, utilize euphemisms such as “unique,” “intriguing,” or, at worst, “misunderstood.” The Islamic radicals that just invaded Iraq from Syria hold to the belief that everyone in the world that does not agree with them should be killed.
Hard to misunderstand that. To paraphrase the old country song, if calling them crazy is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
But then there’s us. After over a decade of failed ex-periments in nation-building, there are still calls from some of our leaders for immedi-ate re-engagement in Iraq. Bombs, troops, helicopters – kill some sense into ‘em. One measure of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different re-sult. By that metric, where does that crowd stand on the crazy scale?
It’s safe to say that we are done nation-building in that part of the world. Fini. What seemed like a noble but ludi-crous proposition – transform-ing Iraq into a democratic beacon for the entire Middle East – turned out to be just that. Admit it, even if you are a Republican, when George W. first unveiled that plan, you
secretly rolled your eyes. It was just so George W.
So, if we are not looking to nation-build anymore and we are not looking to topple a government, what is the ul-timate goal beyond killing just as many of them as we can? To feel good? Where are we hoping to be when that dust settles? Would killing all of the crazies bouncing around in the back of those Toyota trucks solve anything or accomplish any long-term American objectives? Our own heritage should be ex-humed. Despite what else political correctness dictates, it’s fair to say we are a nation founded in Christianity. So we know about Jesus. We know that his teachings made for a better way of life, but it was his crucifixion that made a re-ligion. Killing a person tends to do the opposite to the idea that person represents.
In the Middle East, we are, and always have been, fighting an idea disguised as insane people. It’s a simple idea but sometimes those are the most catchy, like an early Beatles’ tune. It’s not an idea familiar in the Western World, so we will never understand it. Not totally. We can kill the people who hold the idea, but in do-ing so, we’re sanctifying the idea. I mean, 72 virgins is one
thing, but 72 virgins and re-venge on whoever killed your family? That’s downright mo-tivational.
What do you do for a part of the world that has no aspi-ration other than to get its Ji-had on? From the American experience, the hope should be that they want to Jihad all over each other, as they did quietly for centuries before we started buying their oil. Now, that is apparently what they desire again if we would just let them. Iran, if you think Is-rael is a problem, let us intro-duce you to our little friends.
We are at a point in history where we can be a peaceful country again. We are pos-sibly one election away from proceeding with energy inde-pendence and our first free-dom from the Middle East in almost three generations – long enough ago that no one remembers a nation that wasn’t perpetually at war or on the verge of war. No one else in the world is foolish enough to want to tangle with our military. Although we can’t impose freedom on the world, it is finally available to us again.
There are the innocents in Iraq that will be brutalized by these invaders. But this is their war. We have tried to fight it for them and that doesn’t
work. We’ve learned that na-tions aren’t formed through our sacrifice. If they are never willing to fight, there’s noth-ing we can do for them in the end anyway.
There is the danger of the formation of a terrorist state. Maybe, but let them get bogged down with trying to govern. Heighten our intelli-gence, build an invisible fence around it all and watch it like a hawk, as I’m sure we do North Korea – a rogue state with nukes. Eventually, as this ter-rorist state fights its neighbors over the years, it will forget all about us. It’s a human tragedy but it’s not ours. We have offi-cially tried more than we ever should have to fix the unfix-able, costing us thousands of our own sons and daughters and billions of dollars. We are only as crazy as our inability to learn. The last twenty-five years have been, to say the least, instructive.

The AP Government stu-dents of Van Wert High School will be submitting a weekly ed-itorial to inform the public on a variety of issues. They have been encouraged to research, take a position, and defend their reasoning for having such thoughts. The purpose of these editorials is to provide aware-ness and knowledge for the community and to be thought provoking. The views expressed in these editorials do not represent Van Wert High School, and are written solely by the student author.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establish-ment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” What exactly does this mean? My interpretation is that Congress should not interfere with religion. History has shown us that corruption occurs when such events take place. Thomas Jef-ferson would have agreed with me. The Danbury Baptist As-sociation drafted a letter to Thomas Jefferson saying freedom of religion was a right given by God. The government should not have to grant natural rights to the citizens. Jefferson agreed with him; however, he did go on to say “There ought to be a separation from church and state.”
Should there be a separation between church and state? The separation between the church and state started through the establishment clause, but no where in the constitution does it say religion cannot be in our government.. The First Amend-ment was interpreted incorrectly. Today court uses the First Amendment to prohibit religious activities that the Founders once encouraged! The Founders never envisioned the First Amendment as a tool to separate religious principles from pub-lic affairs, they thought that it would preserve those values in public life.
I believe the government has misconstrued the Founders’ intentions and have slowly, but consistently, eroded the Reli-gious Foundations our country was built upon. I encourage all to continue to stand up for and EXPRESS your beliefs so that We, THE PEOPLE, may start to chip away at the restrictions the government has created for us.

Iraq & U.S. – Crazy is as crazy does
I once again write to sug-gest that the time has come to consider legislation in Ohio to allow for the sale and use of the full line of consumer fireworks.
Consumer fireworks are safer today than they have ever been in the history of our country. John Adams, in a prophetic 1776 letter to his wife Abigail, suggested that the Independence Day holiday “ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of this continent to the other, from this day for-ward forevermore.”
Today in America, we cel-ebrate as John Adams suggest-ed with the modern version of bonfires and illuminations, that being barbecues and fireworks. Nothing could be more patri-otic, and nothing else quite suf-fices for the Fourth of July.
In 1994, the American Fireworks Standards Labora-tory first began testing con-sumer fireworks at the factory level in China for compliance with U.S. manufacturing and performance standards. Since 1994, the use of fireworks in America has increased some 77 percent from 117,000,000 pounds to 207,500,000 pounds in 2012.
Against this tremendous increase in the use of the prod-ucts, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that fireworks-related inju-ries dropped over 30 percent from 12,500 in 1994 to 8700 in 2012.
Forty-six states now per-mit the sale and use of some level of consumer fireworks. Since 2006, the following states have liberalized their fireworks laws by permitting some additional level of con-
sumer fireworks over what had previously been permitted ranging from ground-based products to the full-line of products: Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Utah. Legislation has been considered in Iowa, Massachusetts, Virginia, and West Virginia.
In considering and enact-ing the legislation, these states have all recognized the im-proved safety record of con-sumer fireworks and the fact that sorely needed revenue could be generated from the sale of the products.
Everyone loves fireworks. People love to watch major league sports, and they also love to play sandlot sports. The same holds true with fire-works. People love to watch professional displays, and they also love to shoot their own backyard fireworks.
Ohio legislators have the power to change the fireworks laws and take their constitu-ents out of the shadows of uncertainty and illegality and bring Ohio to parity with so many other states that permit the sale and use of the full line of consumer fireworks. This is long overdue.
Write or e-mail your legis-lator and ask for legalization of the full line of consumer fireworks. Take us out of the consumer fireworks dark ages and into the modern era.
Enjoy the Independence Day holiday with your family and celebrate safely.
Very truly yours,William A. WeimerPhantom Fireworks Vice

The time is now
(From page A6)Let’s begin. The quiz is What Decade Are You? Here’s the
first of six questions. What’s most likely to get you out of the house? The choices: Meeting friends for coffee, a hot new club opening, a new video game at the arcade, a political protest, burgers and shakes. I can see where this is going already — each answer is a stereotypical answer of a decade like a po-litical protest is the 60s, etc. I’ll go with burgers and shakes since I always need to eat. Question Two. You prefer jeans that are: designer, tight, well-worn, classic and cuffed, flared. Same obvious stereotyping I see. I’ll go with well-worn, since that pretty much describes me. That or well-worn out! Your politi-cal views: are liberal, are radical, are conservative, depend on the issue, are on the libertarian side. A lot of ways I could go with this, but I like to study and make my own decisions, so I’ll hit Depend on the issue. Next question: You relationship could be described as: full commitment, an open relationship, a friendship that turned into love, living in sin, complicated. Of course that last one could probably apply to everyone in a rela-tionship, but in my case I’m going with friendship that turned into love, which also could probably apply to everyone in a
relationship also. Question 5: What musical artist will you al-ways love? Choices: Led Zepplin, Nirvana, Elvis, U2, Beatles. I’ve narrowed it down to the last three, but none of those fit the question perfectly. I’ll go with U2 because it’s easiest to type. In quizzes, that’s a legitimate reason to decide on a choice. Last question: How would you describe your outlook? Anxious and bold, rebellious and free spirited, conservative and respectful, cynical and realistic, wild and outgoing. That’s a tough one. If my song is truly “Wild Thing” I should go with the second one, but nothing ever seems to correspond between quizzes. I’ll go with cynical and realistic. I am real, anyway. That much I know. That and I “Can’t Smile Without You.”
Now the result. Brace yourself. Are you braced? Me either. I may fall off my chair. I am… the 1990s. I was alive during the 1990s, but other than that, I just don’t get it. Am I mod-ern? Am I outdated? I wonder if I could have gotten a result of the 1890s? the 1770s? Anything BC? Oh well, I’ll try the next quiz… If I Were A Tree What Kind Would I Be? I’m guessing I’m a wild tree, planted in the 1990s by a guy either Watching West Side Story or whistling “Can’t Smile Without You.”
two cents
(From page A6)Can you tell I’m not re-
ally into soccer? I’ll prob-ably still watch it because as my husband says, “This is history in the making!” I suppose he’s right. I don’t think the third-time-around rerun of that Castle episode where they think they’re being abducted by aliens will ever make the his-tory books. It is possible I’ll witness something that will be forever immortal-ized in soccer history. Who knows?
People are also talking about it so it doesn’t hurt to have seen a few good plays to throw out there for anal-ysis. That’s how you ac-cidentally learn stuff, too. You just go with it and the next thing you know, bam, you now know something you didn’t before.
While I don’t need an excuse to slip away from work to watch a FIFA Cup game, it was the thought that counted. Thanks, Ju-rgen. I did have your back and was putting out good vibes for the team. Go USA!

Railroads OperatedDifferently inEarlier Days
A passenger states, “In the seat ahead of me was a farmer, so jubilant over buying a new buggy he was taking home with him that he had to turn around and tell me all about it, when the conductor came through and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Say Darius,” he said, “he’s slowing down for your jump-ing off place.”
“What town are we coming to?” I asked Darius.
“Oh, no town he answered. Just my farm. I know the con-ductor and engineer pretty well and they always let me off here. Saves me from walk-ing six miles from town.”
Just then the train stopped and Darius made leisurely for the door and scrambled off the platform. Several min-utes passed and we didn’t move. “Guess they’re helping Darius off with his buggy,” I said to myself and went on reading the paper. “Maybe I had read for 5 or 10 minutes more and we didn’t move on. “Hello,” I said, “still stand-ing here. Wonder if Darius got his buggy off yet”? With that I stuck my head out the window to see, and bless me, if there wasn’t the engineer, the fireman and the conductor helping Darius put his buggy together. And the brakeman was uncrating the shafts.
“Did anyone object to the delay?” Not a soul. They acted as if it was an everyday occur-rence. The crew went deliber-ately at it, not giving railroad schedules a thought, until the buggy was all put together and the son of Darius came across the field leading a horse. Then Darius thanked them and guessed he and his boy could hitch up the horse all right, and the trainmen all crawled back on the train and we got
underway again.“That happened on the trip
up. On the down trip we made a stop in the open country and, as I’d seen no one get off, I got out to investigate. When I walked up to the engine, I saw the engineer on his knees on the track, pounding away like all possessed.
“What’s up, I asked?”“Oh, nothing much,” he
said. “On the way up I noticed this rail was a little loose, so when I was in town I threw a spike and a hammer into the engine, and now I’m respiking it. That’s all.”
(Looks like times were a lot slower then. R.H.)

Looked For aplace to Dance
A dance was advertised to take place at Ft. Jennings, Wednesday evening, but was given up on account of a church festival that was in progress. A big event of peo-ple from Delphos and Ottovi-lle and the country surround-ing Ft. Jennings, went to that town to attend the dance and were very much disappointed. Not to be outdone, the crowd went to Ottoville, but were disappointed in getting a hall there. However, some of the people indulged their inclina-tion to dance, a room at one of the hotels being pressed into service.

The Beckman Hotel is to be improved with a system of hot water heating before cold weather. The same company has the contract to equip the City Building with a plant of this kind. This will keep them pretty busy between now and the cold weather.

Us(From page A5)Louie Nye hosted the
hour with the big band sound and a number of songs from the era.
Those were the days, de-spite the fact the stock mar-ket crashed, America was an exuberant nation, making light of its hardships.
Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson robbed banks and FDR closed them. The radio, if you could afford one, was an entertainment media. A soul and body couldn’t rest until they listened to Amos ‘n Andy, or hummed “Put-tin’ on the Ritz” and “I only have Eyes for You.”
Orson Welles nearly frightened the britches off us with his Martian invasion broadcast.
Bobby Jones swept all four major British and U.S. golf titles. Gehrig battled
The Babe for hitting records and pinball machines paid the rent at the drug store.
Amelia Earhart vanished and Sally Rand appeared at the Chicago World’s Fair in a few feathers and a smile…. And prohibition was interred.
Maybe you remember those good old days. The TV series didn’t show Sally.
We’re sweltering under the heat, but the weather apparently has had a good influence on something. John Krugh, operator of the Jonestown elevator, called early to tell us that the wheat harvesting is setting new records this year. Mr. Krugh said that the elevator has already handled nearly a carload of the grain, which would amount to an esti-mated 21,000 bushels of the golden crop.
Wheat harvesting nor-
mally begins after the Fourth of July Holiday we understand. Van Wert el-evators also report that they have been receiving wheat today. Maybe farmers are getting their work out of the way early they can join in the bang-up Fourth of July celebrations planned in Van Wert and the surrounding area.
QUOTE FOR THE DAY: Frank Mounts passed on this gem of wisdom: “The trouble with some educat-ed people is that they have more education than they have intelligence.”
Amen.Just thought we’d men-
tion it.
sAnJUAn(From page A5)Having secured Kettle Hill and seeing that the
other troops were moving on the face of the taller San Juan, Roosevelt led the charge up from his position to reinforce the sides. The fighting turned extremely bloody in the final stages, resulting in hand-to-hand combat where many of the Spanish soldiers were killed by knives and bayonets.
His exploits on the two hills in what was the bloodiest battle of the Spanish-American War earned Teddy Roosevelt the Medal of Honor, the only President of the United States to ever win the Army’s highest military honor.
Here now is a reprint of the July 1, 1898, Van Wert Times article giving a brief explanation of the fighting on the hills surrounding Santiago, Cuba.
Police(From page A1)Fittro said the call box is not in
place at this time but hopes it will be installed by Monday afternoon.
“It will not be nearly as easy to get a hold of someone at the police or fire and rescue depart-ments,” Fittro said. “While we are saving money, we are losing a whole lot of customer service.”
In the pro column along with
the budget savings and quicker response, moving dispatching to Allen County will free up two officers who are now “sitting desk” and put them back out into the community.
For now, Fittro’s biggest con-cern is technology glitches and human error.
“The entire county is now us-ing the MARKS radio system
and I know of at least two areas in Delphos that are dead zones,” he said. “We also have several streets that share their names with ones in Lima and it could be confusing to a dispatcher that isn’t familiar with Delphos. We also take calls on oc-casion from people who give us landmarks instead of street names and having dispatchers who live here is helpful.”

(From page A1)The most recent results from the
OEPA show on June 3, Grand Lake Saint Marys’ level of Microcystin tox-ins 20-22 times higher than the state threshold. The areas tested include: East Beach, 126.8 ppb; State Park Camp Beach, 122.4 ppb; West Beach, 130.4 ppb; and Windy Point Beach, 135.2 ppb.
“With all these tests, they are a snapshot in time,” Miller explained. “Things can change very rapidly with varied environmental factors.”
Three beaches at Buckeye Lake were tested on June 9 and were found to have elevated levels of Microcys-tin toxin resulting in these findings: Brooks Park Beach, 7.5 ppb; Fairfield Beach, 3.3 ppb; and Crystal Beach, 19 ppb.
“The Western Basin of Lake Erie — stretching from Detroit, Michigan, to the Toledo and Sandusky areas have had harmful algal bloom issues for several years,” Pierce explained. “It’s a symptom of the phosphorus water-shed from Northwest Ohio.”
She added that the Auglaize and Blanchard rivers drain into the Mau-mee River, where there is a lot of sedi-ment and run-off, both from farmlands and residential sewage overflows, which aggravate the elevated algae is-sues at Lake Erie.
More than 40 freshwater species of HAB-forming cyanobacteria are known to make toxins. The three main classes of toxins produced by cyano-bacteria are nerve toxins (or neuro-toxins), liver toxins (or hepatotoxins); and skin toxins (or dermatotoxins),
which may cause itching, rashes or other allergic reactions.
If a person touches the blooms, swallows water with toxins or breathes in water droplets, they could get a rash, have an allergic reaction, get a stomach ache or feel dizzy or light-headed. These toxins may affect the liver, nervous system and/or skin. The blooms are also toxic to pets.
“Before visiting a state park, people can exercise due diligence and visit educational websites like the OEPA’s Algae 101,” Miller said.
He said travel and tourism was im-pacted when the first advisory was put up in 2009. At this time, people are fishing and boating and there is a lot of boat traffic going on.
“As for fish consumption, I recom-mend people use fish consumption guidelines,” he said. “Fillets have been tested and the algae issue does not affect consumption. What will af-fect consumption is mercury or PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyl).”
Many HAB-forming organisms are native to Ohio but only cause problems when environmental conditions — of-ten human-induced conditions — fa-vor them. Lake Erie’s most prevalent HAB-forming organisms include Ana-baena, Aphanizomenon and Microcys-tis (this trio is sometimes known as “Annie, Fannie and Mike”).
There are several common, often visible cyanobacteria that make up HABs in Ohio:
• Microcystis are globular colo-nies that can adjust their buoyancy to move up and down through the water column and is the most dominant cya-
nobacteria in Ohio’s Lake Erie waters;• Anabaena are colonies of hair-
like filaments that can be planktonic or form mats along the bottom or near shore;
• Aphanizomenon are colonies of planktonic filaments that often bundle together and is sometimes sold as a di-etary supplement. Consuming the sup-plement could be dangerous since the supplement is not regulated and may contain cyanobacterial toxins;
• Cylindrospermopsis are colonies of planktonic filaments that distrib-ute through the water and are tear-drop-shaped cells. A recent invader to Ohio’s Lake Erie waters and Buckeye Lake;
• Lyngbya are colonies of clustered filaments, usually visible to the naked eye that often form dense mats along the bottom that float to the surface later in the growing season. One of Ohio’s recently problematic species (specifically Lyngbya wollei, also known as Plectonema wollei), espe-cially on Maumee Bay near Toledo;
• Nostoc are colonies of filaments that usually clump into a green, ge-latinous, “marble-like” ball. Sold as a dietary supplement and consumption could be dangerous since the supple-ment is not regulated and may contain cyanobacterial toxins; and
• Planktothrix are colonies of planktonic filaments that distribute through the water which have domi-nated recent HABs on Grand Lake St. Marys and is very common to Ohio’s inland lakes and reservoirs.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Johnny’s gonna play and Johnny’s gonna party.
Tired of scrutiny about how he spends his weekends away from football and drained by the spotlight that follows him, Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel said he has no plans to tone down his lifestyle.
“I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong,” he said.
Speaking at a PLAY 60 event with other AFC rookies, Manziel said he’s been bothered by recent criticism about his behavior.
Since being drafted by the Browns in the first round in May, Manziel’s weekend adven-tures — hanging out poolside with Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski in Las Vegas, pho-tographed on a swan raft while drinking cham-pagne, shown in a video talking into a stack of money as if it were a phone — have added to the legend of Johnny Football.
Manziel understands it may not be a good look, but he’s not a party animal.
“I’m going out,” he said. “Everybody goes out on the weekends and enjoys their life and lives their life. And just for them, they don’t have people that when they walk into a place pull out their phones and all they want to do is follow me around and record everything. My
situation is unique and different and now more than ever I’ve seen that it’s an every weekend thing wherever I’m at — whether it’s in Cleve-land on a weekend, or in Dallas or anywhere on a weekend, people want to record what I’m doing because they think it’s a story.
“Everybody goes out and has fun. Every-body goes out and does that and I’m not do-ing anything that’s putting myself in a harmful situation.”
In the past few days, Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith, Joe Montana and Warren Moon have all said Manziel should focus on his playing career, and it might help if he curtailed some of the other stuff.
Manziel respects the opinions of the leg-ends, but says some of the media reports about him have been distorted.
“Just what’s getting out on social media doesn’t mean that’s all I’m doing in my life,” he said. “Just my weekends aren’t what I’m doing, seven days a week. That’s two days out of the week and there’s five to six other days when I’m here at this building going through my playbook and working out just like every other rookie, so nothing that I’m doing on the weekends is affecting my job.”
Manziel spent the morning throwing touchdown passes to wide-eyed youngsters, who were thrilled to be around him. Manziel greeted each with a high-five or handshake
and “What’s up?” As they put the kids through some drills, the Browns’ other rookies enjoyed giving Manziel a hard time about his celebrity.
“Which one of us is Johnny Manziel?” line-backer Chris Kirksey asked one group.
Manziel said the endless attention on him has made things tougher for teammates, who have been asked for their take on all things Johnny.
“They’re tired of that,” he said. “They’re tired of the hype. I’m tired of it as well. I want to wake up one week and not have my name going through something and I’m working on getting better at that. But if I want to go home and spend time with my friends or go out on my weekends, I absolutely have the right to do that.”
Browns coach Mike Pettine has said the team will not intervene with Manziel — or any of Cleveland’s players — as long as they’re not involved in criminal activity and it’s not affect-ing their work.
Manziel said the Browns have not told him to “cool it.”
“I’m not going to change who I am for any-body,” he said. “I’m growing up and continu-ing to learn from my mistakes and trying not to make the same ones over and over again, but am I going to live in a shell or am I just going to hide from everybody and not do anything?
“I’m very committed to football. I’m com-
mitted to my job, but on the weekends, I’m go-ing to enjoy my time off. We deserve it. We work hard here. I am going to enjoy my time off. I’m very about football and very about my job, which doesn’t get reported or won’t get re-ported, but I am going to enjoy my time off.”
Manziel: ‘I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong’

RECIFE, Brazil (AP) — Now that the U.S. has survived the so-called “Group of Death,” it’s time for sudden death: the knockout phase of the World Cup.
The Americans play Belgium on Tuesday night in the round of 16, hoping to show they’re better than the U.S. team that lost in overtime to Ghana in the second round four years ago.
“By no means are we satisfied with just getting out of the group,” midfielder Graham Zusi said Sunday after the Americans advanced despite a 1-0 loss to Germany. “We want to keep going and make some history.”
Belgium eased past the Americans 4-2 in a May 2013 exhibition at Cleveland on two goals by Christian Benteke (currently sidelined with a torn Achilles tendon), and one each from Marouane Fellaini and Kevin Mirallas. Two years earlier, Belgium won 1-0 in Brussels on Nicolas Lom-baerts’ half-volley in the 55th minute in Jurgen Klinsmann’s first road game with the U.S.
“They’re a top team. Everyone around Europe will tell you how good they are,” American goalkeeper Tim How-ard said. “They’ve got so many good players, young players, strong, fast, good on the ball. I actually think because of that we match up well with them, but we’ll see.”
Howard was a teammate at Everton last season with Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku and Mirallas, and played on the Toffees with Fellaini before the bushy-haired forward trans-ferred to Manchester United last summer. The Red Devils, seeded in December’s draw and ranked 11th, are at their first major tournament since the 2002 World Cup, where they lost in the second round to eventual champion Brazil.
While the U.S. defeated Ghana 2-1 and drew Portugal 2-2 to advance on a goal-difference tiebreaker against the Portuguese, Belgium beat Algeria 2-1, Russia 1-0 and South Korea 1-0.
“It gives us so much confidence to get those nine points with only 10 men and prepare for the Americans in that mood,” defender Jan Vertonghen said Sunday after scoring the only goal as Belgium finished a man short.
The U.S., which reached the knockout stage of consecu-tive World Cups for the first time, returned to its Sao Paulo base Thursday night and looked forward to four days off be-fore playing the Belgians in Salvador. The winner advances to a quarterfinal against Argentina or Switzerland.
“We’re excited about trying to go further than we did last World Cup and getting past this first game (of the knockout rounds),” captain Clint Dempsey said.

CONVOY — Caleb Fetzer didn’t need a lot of help in the second game of the District 5 ACME summer baseball open-er Friday night at the Crestview Sports Complex.
He 1-hit St. John’s.However, he also got plenty
of offensive help with an 11-hit attack and four Blue Jays errors in a 14-0, 5-inning affair.
The Cougars advance to a matchup with Jefferson — the other winner Friday afternoon — at 6 p.m. Saturday.
Fetzer tossed 73 pitches (44 strikes) while walking four with four strikeouts.
The Jays used four hurlers: lefty starter Jake Youngpeter, who was charged with 8 runs (3 earned) in 1.1 innings, Gage Seffernick, Josh Warnecke and Ryan Hellman. All told they threw 115 pitches, 66 for strikes.
Youngpeter tossed 42 in the bottom of the first inning alone when he was tagged for five runs. With one down, Joe Lisa singled after stay-ing alive on an error on a foul pop, Brandt Henry walked and Fetzer singled in Lisa, with the other runners advancing on the throw home. An error on Ma-son Carr’s ground ball scored Henry and put runners on the corners. After Carr stole sec-ond, Ethan Williams slapped a 2-run knock to right, part of a 4-RBI night for the third baseman. Gavin Gardner kept the inning going with a double to left center, and Williams scored on a Ryan McCracken
groundout for a 5-0 lead.The Jays had their best
threat in the top of the second. With one down, Fetzer lost command of his pitches and issued back-to-back walks to Seffernick and Buddy Jackson. Though the Jays got runners to second and third, two fly balls ended the uprising.
The Cougars doubled their lead in the second, again bat-ting around. Justice Tussing led off with an infield single up the middle, stole two bases and scored on a 1-out double to center by Henry. Fetzer walked to finish Youngpeter’s day on the mound. Carr was walked by Seffernick and Williams slapped another 2-run knock, this time to center, to get Hen-ry and Fetzer home. A fly ball to right got Carr to third and a wild pitch plated him for a 9-0 edge. A throwing error on McCracken’s grounder scored Williams for the tenth Cougar run.
Chad Etgen led off the Blue Jay third with a walk, advanced on a pitch to the backstop and third on a Warnecke ground ball but could not score.
The Cougars scored their final tallies in the fourth ver-sus Hellman, sending 10 to the plate. Fetzer’s liner to center got over centerfielder Aus-tin Heiing’s head for a triple and he scored on a wild pitch. Carr walked, stole second and touched the dish on a liner to center by pinch-hitter Evan Williams. He was forced out by a Gardner grounder. An er-ror on a grounder hit by pinch-hitter Brian Mills and pinch-hitter Bailey Neuenschwander loaded the bases. A shot to cen-ter by pinch-hitter Kaleb Jen-
kins plated Gardner and kept the bases juiced. Lisa forced Mills at home. Henry’s shot to center got Neuenschwander home for the 14th run.
The Jays got a 1-out free pass to pinch-hitter Austin Lu-cas in the top of the fifth and Etgen had a solid single to right for their only hit. However, a fly ball and a pop-out ended the game on the run rule.
St. John’s was set to play Spencerville at 1 p.m. on Sunday, but the Bearcats an-nounced they would forfeit the game; the Jays will now play at 3:30 p.m. versus the loser of the St. Marys Memorial versus Lincolnview/Crestview winner from Saturday.ST.

CONVOY — Jefferson pounded out 13 hits and punished Spencer-ville 13-4 in Friday’s opener at Convoy.
The Wildcats put four players on the mound: lefty starter Jake Pul-ford and righties Brendan Herron, Jace Stockwell and Hunter Binkley.
Spencerville used three hurlers in what ended up being their sum-mer season finale — Luke Carpen-ter, Mitchell Youngpeter and Brady Becker.
The Wildcats put up a 2-spot in the top of the first. Stockwell led off with a single to left, stole second and took third on a Hunter Binkley base hit. After Binkley stole second, Gaige Rassman flied out to center to score Stockwell and moved Binkley to third, from where he scored on a Gage Mercer rip down the left-field line.
The Wildcats made it 6-0 in the top of the second. Nick Fitch grounded a hit into right and Kurt Wollenhaupt singled up the gut before Stockwell singled to load the bases. An error on Binkley’s grounder plated Wollenhaupt and Teman and advanced Stockwell to third. Rassman slapped a single to
center that got Stockwell and Bin-kley across for a 6-0 edge.
The Wildcats made it 7-0 in the third. With one down, Fitch and Wollenhaupt walked. Fitch eventu-ally scored on a Spencerville error.
Delphos made it 8-0 in the visitors’ fourth. With one out, Mercer walked, stole second and got to third on a wild pitch. Pul-ford walked. Ryan Bullinger then blooped a hit to left center to score Mercer.
Spencerville tallied three in the home fourth. Brady Nolan walked and Connor Vogt blooped a hit to right. J.T. Thiery walked to load the bases, and a passed ball plated Nolan and moved the other runners up. Youngpeter’s groundout scored Vogt and French’s chop into left scored Thiery from third for an 8-3 deficit.
The Jeffcats got one back in the fifth on a 1-out double to deep cen-ter by Stockwell, a 2-out wild pitch and an error to make it 9-3.
The Wildcats continued the at-tack with a 3-spot in the sixth be-fore Spencerville plated its final run in the home half of the sixth. Thiery blooped a hit into right and scored on a 1-out triple to deep cen-ter by Hunter French.
Jefferson accounted for the final run in the seventh on a 1-out rip to
center by pinch-hitter Damien Dud-geon and a 2-out double to center by Bullinger.
Jefferson plays Van Wert 6 p.m. Saturday.

ROCKFORD — In an effort to unite current and former members of the Parkway football community, Panther head coach Dan Cairns has announced the First Annual Parkway Alumni 7-on-7.
The event will take place on Saturday evening, July 19, and will be played under the lights with a 7:30 p.m. start time.
“(The) purpose is to bring back alumni who played football for a fun-filled evening of touch football and to relive some memories,” Cairns said. “Another purpose is to try to tie this year’s current team to the players from the past, to bring the community together.”
The games will be 7-on-7 passing games and are open to any Panther football alumni, as well as fathers of current Park-way senior football players. The alumni teams will be broken into two teams, with odd numbered graduation years on one side and even numbered years on another.
The alumni teams will not only play against each other, but will have an opportunity to play against the Parkway varsity and JV squads as well.
Registration costs $20 and will cover the cost of a game shirt and other expenses. Any left over money will directly support the Panther football program. Interested alumni can print off a registration form from the school’s website, www.parkwayschools.org, or can be obtained by emailing coach Cairns at [email protected].
Registration forms and payment can be dropped off at the high school or mailed to Parkway High School attn Dan Cairns, 400 Buckeye St., Rockford, OH 45882. Deadline for registration is Friday, July 11.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — As his talented son, Andrew, was presented with his new wine-and-gold Cavaliers jersey, Mitchell Wiggins finally let go of some painful memories.
This is it, he thought, his second chance, another shot at an NBA career broken in a haze of cocaine abuse.
His son is the No. 1 overall pick, and Mitchell Wiggins is now unburdened by guilt, embarrassment and disappoint-ment. He’s whole again.
“It just gives me closure,” said Mitch-ell Wiggins, who was suspended for two full seasons with Houston in the 1980s for drugs. “I’m able to let go of maybe some of the things I was feeling when I left the league and I can sleep better now. This is a big moment.”
The Cavaliers introduced Andrew Wiggins on Friday, one day after the team ended weeks of public debate and internal discussion by selecting the slen-der small forward from Kansas first in the NBA draft. Wiggins, who probably would have also been chosen before any-one else a year ago, began his news con-ference by saying his personal expecta-tions are as high as what the Cavaliers believe he can attain.
The 19-year-old with the 44-inch ver-tical jump plans to soar.
“I just want to come in, create an impact right off the bat, offensively and defensively, bring the team to the next level and just be a good teammate, be a good part of the organization,” he said. “I want to be on the All-Defensive team, be Rookie of the Year, make the All-Star
team, all that type of stuff.”Those comments made new Cavs
coach David Blatt smile.“We didn’t bring Andrew in here for
a year,” Blatt said. “This isn’t a one-and-done. This is a career player.”
Mitchell Wiggins trained his youngest son well. Once Andrew was old enough to dribble, Wiggins began showing him how to play the game — especially on defense.
“I taught him how to guard multiple positions,” he said. “How to guard a scor-er, how to guard a driver. He understands defensively what he needs to do and he cherishes defense.”
Wiggins also educated Andrew and his talented brothers, Mitchell and Nick, on the pitfalls of life as a pro athlete.
“Everybody knows my history,” Wig-gins said.
Caught up in an addiction he had trou-ble shaking, he threw away so much of what he had, and in the process hurt him-self, his family and his Rockets team-mates. After playing in the NBA finals in 1986, his career nose-dived and it would take him two years to recover.
“When you play with Hakeem (Olaju-won) and Ralph Sampson, you’ve got to make sacrifices,” Wiggins said. “They’re big men and they demand the ball. I was a good player, a good fit with them and I feel like I let them down when I had my issues. I should have played eight to 10 years with them.”
Wiggins isn’t worried about Andrew getting derailed. He and his wife, Mar-ita, a two-time Olympic silver medal-winning sprinter for Canada, have raised their children to work hard so they get
the most of the athletic gifts they’ve been given.
Andrew Wiggins isn’t a slacker.“He walks his walk and he’s always
been a kid who listens and tries to do the right thing,” Mitchell Wiggins said. “I hope he stays true to who he is and stays grounded. He wants to be a Hall of Famer. Hall of Famers work harder than anyone else and make the most sacrifice. I think he’s willing to do that.
“Everybody knows he’s got talent, but you’ve got to put the work ethic with the talent and you’ve got to make some in-ternal sacrifices. I think he’s going to do that.”

LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic lay crumpled on Centre Court, clutching his upper left arm and grimacing. He felt something pop and feared the worst.
Djokovic had lunged for a shot behind the baseline, tumbled on the grass and rolled over twice, his racket flying from his hand. His new coach, Boris Becker, stood in the player’s box and looked on gravely.
Slowly, Djokovic rose from the turf, still holding his arm across his chest and made his way to his chair.
“When I stood up, I felt that click or pop, whatever you call it,” he said later. “I feared maybe it might be a dislocated shoulder or something like that.”
It wasn’t.After a medical timeout and treatment from
a trainer, the top-seeded Djokovic needed just four more games to complete a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 win over France’s Gilles Simon on Friday, sending him into the fourth round and keeping alive his bid for a second Wimbledon title and seventh Grand Slam championship.
“Luckily there is nothing damaged,” Djokovic said. “I just came from the doctor’s office, ultrasound. It’s all looking good. I’m quite confident that it will not affect my physi-cal state or regimen or daily routine. I think it’s going to be fine.”
Djokovic will have two days off before an intriguing matchup Monday against another Frenchman, the free-swinging 14th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
“They told me usually in these kind of par-ticular cases you might feel soreness in the next couple of days,” Djokovic said. “But I can play around with practices and recovery and see how it goes. But I’m quite confident it’s go-ing to be all right for next one.”
He felt all right enough to joke that he had
talked to Becker about improving his style.“We obviously need to work on my div-
ing volleys, learning how to fall down on the court,” he said. “I’m not very skillful in that.”
Djokovic’s injury scare came on a day that also featured the elimination of second-seeded woman Li Na and a three-set, 2 ½-hour Cen-tre Court battle between two former female champions — with 2011 winner Petra Kvitova overcoming five-time champ Venus Williams 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-5.
Defending men’s champion Andy Murray, who hasn’t dropped a set this week, extended his winning streak at the All England Club to 16 matches by beating Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. The streak goes back to his gold-medal run at the 2012 London Olym-pics, which was played at Wimbledon.
No. 6 Tomas Berdych, runner-up at Wimble-don four years ago, became the highest-seeded man to go out so far when he fell to No. 26 Marin Cilic 7-6 (5) 6-4, 7-6 (6) in match that finished in near darkness at 9:36 p.m. Berdych, who had called for play to be suspended be-cause of the fading light, hit a forehand long on the second match point. Cilic finished with 20 aces.
Li, the Australian Open champion, fell 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5) to 43rd-ranked Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic in the first ma-jor upset of the tournament. Since winning her second Grand Slam title in Melbourne in Janu-ary, Li has lost in the first round of the French Open and now failed to reach the second week at Wimbledon.
Li double-faulted on match point — after the point was replayed when she won a chal-lenge on a forehand that had been called out.
Joining Kvitova and Zahlavova Strycova in the fourth round were two other Czechs, Lu-cie Safarova and Tereza Smitkova —the first time in the Open era four Czech women have reached the final 16 at a Grand Slam.

SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Brad Keselowski couldn’t stick around long to discuss his track-record pole speed for Saturday night’s Sprint Cup Series race at Kentucky Speedway.
After all, he had to jump in another Ford he drove to the pole for Friday night’s Na-tionwide Series race just hours before.
It was that kind of the day for the 2012 NASCAR cham-pion, who had a lap at 188.791 mph the third knockout quali-fying segment to take the pole
for the 400-mile race. Kesel-owski earned his third pole this season and the sixth of his career.
“I thought we were all go-ing to be a lot slower, so I was a little bit surprised by the speeds that were ran,” Kesel-owski said. “But (crew chief) Paul (Wolfe) did a good job working on and adjusting the car and getting it to where I wanted it and they hit what I wanted.”
A day in which 23 driv-ers broke Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s year-old mark of 183.636 mph in the first round of qualifying alone ended with the 2012 race winner shattering it by more
than 5 mph. Keselowski over-took Penske Racing teammate Joey Logano, who turned a final lap of 187.175 after blast-ing the record in each of the first two rounds.
Logano’s effort wouldn’t have been shocking had he held on, considering he won the Las Vegas pole and has started 13 of 16 races in the top 10, one more than his teammate. In any event, Pen-ske earned its third front-row sweep this season.
“I wouldn’t say we’re de-stroying them, I think a lot of it is in the cars, to be hon-est with you,” said Logano, a two-time winner this season.
“I feel like our cars have just been fast.”
Points leader Jeff Gordon will start third in a Chevy, salvaging a session in which Hendrick Motorsports team-mates Jimmie Johnson (25th) and Earnhardt (29th) didn’t survive the first round while Kasey Kahne (20th) was knocked out in the second.
Denny Hamlin was fourth in a Toyota.
Kevin Harvick will start fifth alongside rookie Kyle Larson, whose 186.034 in a Chevy helped the manufac-turer claim eight of the top 12 spots.

ATLANTA (AP) — Geor-gia school leaders are turn-ing down a new option to arm teachers, arguing that it doesn’t make kids any safer and creates more problems than state lawmakers intended to solve.
A string of attacks at schools and colleges in Cali-fornia, Oregon and Washing-ton state hasn’t swayed educa-tion officials who say bluntly that they don’t believe guns belong in schools.
“We could give (teachers) all the training in the world as to how to a shoot a gun, but knowing when to shoot poses a major problem,” said Steve Smith, superintendent of the Bibb County School District. “The folks we work with day in and day out don’t have that.”
The provision was part of a sweeping law expands where Georgians can legally carry guns. It takes effect July 1
and also includes bars and churches. GOP lawmakers pushed the bill through during an election year in the largely pro-gun state, giving each district the option of arming teachers or staff — but requir-ing them to set training stan-dards.
The provisions were simi-lar to a program that drew no interest from South Dakota school districts, and educa-tion officials said no districts in Georgia are pursuing it so far either.
The new law pulled Geor-gia education leaders into a Second Amendment discus-sion they say they never want-
ed.School officials were quick
to express their support for people who legally carry guns. But they were wary at the idea of weapons inside school buildings, despite the recent attack by an Oregon teen who killed a student and then himself at a school and the one-man rampage that left seven people dead in a Cali-fornia college town.
At least two Georgia dis-trict boards have publicly agreed not to create a program. Nobody asked for the power to arm staff, said Mark Scott, superintendent of the Houston County School District. Board
members in the district were more comfortable relying on police officers stationed in its middle and high schools and upgrading building security, he said.
“The risk far outweighed the benefit,” Scott said.
Even in conservative Fan-nin County, proud of its hunt-ing and gun culture, school officials haven’t embraced the plan. School Superintendent Mark Henson said officials haven’t had any conversations about arming teachers, but will ultimately listen to what the community wants.
“This is one we will wring our hands over,” Henson said.

By JESSE J. HOLLANDAssociated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Thad Cochran’s GOP pri-mary victory, thanks in part to black Mississippians who turned out to vote for him, exemplifies a new math that poli-ticians of all persuasions may be forced to learn as this coun-try’s voting population slowly changes complexion.
Cochran’s campaign courted black voters, perceiving their unhappiness with his tea party-supported opponent, Chris McDaniel, and his anti-government rhetoric and scathing criticisms of President Barack Obama. Blacks responded by turning out to help give Cochran an almost 7,000-vote win. The use of Mississippi’s open primary to further their agenda showed political maturity by black voters and debunked a longstanding belief that they obediently vote Democratic and not according to their own interests.
They turned out for a primary runoff with no Democratic candidate involved. And they voted Republican even though the smart play for the Democrats would have been to usher McDaniel to victory and create a more winnable contest for Democrat Travis Childers in November.
“I think that Thad Cochran is a shot across the bow to be felt for a long time,” said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was the first minority presidential candidate to win a statewide primary or caucus in 1984 and 1988. “You cannot win in the new South or win in national elections with all-white prima-ries. This is a new America today.”
Tests of this assertion are coming next month in Ala-bama and Georgia, also Southern states with large minority populations and open primaries. The Mississippi race may
be a harbinger of more strategic voting for minority voters, especially African Americans, said D’Andra Orey, a politi-cal science professor at Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi.
“This is not a one-time situation,” Orey said. “Blacks do recognize their power in the vote, and in this particular case, blacks saw that they could actually defeat or be a strong in-fluence … in defeating McDaniel.”
In Mississippi, which is 38 percent black and on track to become the country’s first majority-black state, some black voters said they planned to support Cochran, a six-term in-cumbent, again in November. Others said they would keep their options open in November or vote for the Democrat, even though they considered Cochran a better choice than McDaniel in the red state.
“I just think that McDaniel did as much for the Cochran turnout in the black community as Cochran people did,” said Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, Mississippi’s sole black congressman.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a scathing appraisal, a review ordered by President Barack Obama of the troubled Veterans Affairs health care system concludes that medical care for veterans is beset by “significant and chronic system failures,” substantially verifying problems raised by whistleblowers and internal and congressional investigators.
A summary of the review by deputy White House chief of staff Rob Nabors says the Veterans Health Administration must be restructured and that a “corrosive culture” has hurt morale and affected the timeliness of health care. The review also found that a 14-day standard for scheduling veterans’ medical appointments is unrealistic and that some employees manipulated the wait times so they would appear to be shorter.
The review is the latest blistering assessment of the VA in the wake of reports of patients dying while waiting for appoint-ments and of treatment delays in VA facilities nationwide. The White House released a summary of the review following Pres-ident Barack Obama’s meeting Friday with Nabors and Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson.
The review offers a series of recommendations, including a need for more doctors, nurses and trained administrative staff. Those recommendations are likely to face skepticism among some congressional Republicans who have blamed the VA’s problems on mismanagement, not lack of resources.
The White House released the summary after Obama re-turned from a two-day trip to Minneapolis and promptly ducked into an Oval Office to get an update on the administra-tion’s response to the VA troubles from Gibson and Nabors.
“We know that unacceptable, systemic problems and cul-tural issues within our health system prevent veterans from re-ceiving timely care,” Gibson said in a statement following the meeting. “We can and must solve these problems as we work to earn back the trust of veterans.”
VA review finds ‘significant and chronic’ failures
BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian rebels that the U.S. now wants to support are in poor shape, on the retreat from the radical al-Qaida breakaway group that has swept over large parts of Iraq and Syria, with some rebels giving up the fight. It is not clear whether the new U.S. promise to arm them will make a difference.
Some, more hard-line Syrian fighters are bending to the winds and joining the radicals.
The Obama administration is seeking $500 million to train and arm what it calls “moderate” factions among the rebels, a far larger project than a quiet CIA-led effort in Jordan that has been training a few hundreds fighters a month. But U.S. officials say it will take a year to get the new program fully underway. The U.S. also faces the difficult task of what constitutes a “moderate” rebel in a movement dominated by Islamist ideologies.
Opposition activists complain that after long hesitating to arm the rebellion to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad — their main goal — the United States is now enlisting them against the Islamic State out of its own inter-ests. They have long argued that the group, which aims to create a radical Islamic enclave bridging Syria and Iraq, was only able to gain such power in Syria because more moderate forces were not given international support.
Syrian rebels buckling in face of jihadis
WASHINGTON (AP) — A fear of voting has gripped Democratic leaders in the Senate, slowing the chamber’s modest productivity this elec-tion season to a near halt.
With control of the Sen-ate at risk in November, lead-ers are going to remarkable lengths to protect endangered Democrats from casting tough votes and to deny Republicans legislative victories in the midst of the campaign. The phobia means even bipartisan legislation to boost energy efficiency, manufacturing, sportsmen’s rights and more could be scuttled.
The Senate’s masters of process are finding a variety of ways to shut down debate.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., now is requiring an elusive 60-vote supermajority to deal with amendments to spending bills, instead of the usual simple majority, a step that makes it much more difficult to put politically sensitive matters into contention. This was a flip from his approach to Obama administration nominees, when he decided most could be moved ahead with a straight majority in-stead of the 60 votes needed before.
Reid’s principal aim in set-ting the supermajority rule for spending amendments was to deny archrival Sen. Mitch Mc-Connell a win on protecting his home state coal industry from new regulations limiting carbon emissions from exist-ing power plants. McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, faces a tough re-election in Kentucky.

Dear Heloise: My neighbor’s dog loves to use the sidewalk in my yard for a bathroom. Do you know of something I can spray on the sidewalk to discourage this behavior? — Margie in Ohio
Start with washing the sidewalk with hot, soapy wa-ter. Rinse well and let dry. Then generously spray an enzyme-based pet-odor neutralizer on the sidewalk. The dog may keep coming back to that spot because of the smell, but if you remove the smell, it may take care of the problem. But you may need to wash and spray it often. You can check at pet stores for a deterrent spray that you can apply to your lawn and sidewalk if you still are having a problem. Hope this helps. — Heloise
PET PALDear Readers: Nancy Geller sent in a picture,
via email, of her black, long-haired cat, Othello, lounging on the bed. He was a rescue kitten that she fostered and decided she couldn’t give up. To see Othello’s picture, go to my website, www.He-loise.com, and click on “Pets.” — Heloise
OLIVE NUT SPREAD
Dear Heloise: I love your olive nut spread, but wonder if there is a healthier version? — Janet F. in Indiana
HELOISE/B8

Nancy Geller sent in this picture, via email, of her black, long-haired cat, Othello, lounging on the bed. (Photo submitted)
DEAR ABBY: I’m 17 and a junior in high school. My fam-ily has recently been hit with hard times. We lost our home and are living in a motel, and I am struggling with depression. I haven’t attended school since last September. However, I am feeling well enough to the point where I’d like to start attending school again.
I would be willing to take more than six periods and, if necessary, I would be willing to attend summer school. I want to graduate from high school, but I don’t know if that’s possible. My mother has never been OK with any decisions I have made, so I don’t know how to tell her. I don’t want to disappoint her, but I do want to do this. Any advice you are willing to give would be appreciated! — ANONY-MOUS GIRL
DEAR GIRL: You are clear-ly an intelligent young woman, and your determination to finish school is something that should be supported by all of the adults in your life. If possible, go back to the school you were attend-ing and talk with a counselor or the principal about your fami-
ly’s circumstances — including your struggle with depression. Whether you can resume stud-ies at your former school may depend upon whether the motel you’re staying in is within the district. But a counselor should be able to help you to transfer if that becomes necessary. I wish you the best of luck. Your mother should be proud of you because I certainly am.
** ** **DEAR ABBY: I am preg-
nant with my third child. There has been a large gap between baby No. 2 and baby No. 3. With my second child, my hus-band and I were just starting out and used hand-me-downs. But now we are established and can purchase items to suit our pref-
erences.Many well-meaning family
members and friends have start-ed inundating us with hand-me-downs (some ask first; others are just dropping things off). I really don’t want any of these items. However, I don’t want to seem ungrateful or rude be-cause the well-wishers seem so excited to give me these things. The way I was raised, I have a hard time turning down of-fers such as these. How do I kindly tell these people I don’t want their hand-me-downs? — CONFLICTED IN PHILLY
DEAR CONFLICTED: Thank the donors warmly for their thoughtfulness and gener-osity, and say you already have all the things you need for the new baby. It is not necessary to allude to the fact they are “hand-me-downs.” If the person insists on giving them to you anyway, donate them to a charity such as a homeless shelter. (Warning: To avoid possible hurt feelings, do NOT include them in a yard sale.)

Craftsman details give a nostalgic look to the Gatsby. From the street, this looks like a small ranch-style home, but looks can be deceiving.
Designed for construction on a down-slope to the rear, the home of-fers 2,100+ square feet of living space, more than a third of it in the daylight basement. Wide windows brighten each of the basement’s four rooms: family room, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The family room’s sliding glass doors lead out onto a wide patio, partially covered by the main floor deck above.
Handsome 6x6 wooden posts, neatly trimmed out at the top and bottom, support the wide front entry porch. Three centrally placed steps bring people to a front door flanked by sidelights. From the inside, the door’s three glass panes near the top let in still more light while allowing insiders to see who is outside. The stairway’s half wall increases the foyer’s sense of ex-pansiveness.
Wide windows fill most of the rear wall, in the naturally bright combination living/ dining room straight ahead of the foyer. The widest of these extends almost to the fireplace. A sliding glass door on the left slides open to offer easy access to the rear covered deck.
The kitchen is open to the dining room, separated only by a peninsular counter. A gently curved eating bar rims the counter on the dining room side. The Gatsby’s kitchen is rich in both counter and storage space, including a large walk-in pantry. Garage access, a utility room, powder room, and storage closet are also nearby.
The owners’ suite fills out the re-mainder of the ground floor. Ameni-
ties include: a large corner shower, two lavatories, a private toilet, and a good-sized walk-in closet.

PUPPY PADSDear Heloise: I bought some of those puppy pads when
my dog was younger and was potty-training. I had some left over. The other day, I accidentally dropped a whole glass of juice. Instead of using all my paper towels, I grabbed one of the pads and used it to soak up the majority of the juice. It worked great! I then just had to go over the spot lightly so it wouldn’t be sticky. — Hailey in Alabama
GRIMY GUTTERSDear Heloise: My gutters were dirty with grime from years
of spring oak-tree “dust.” After power-washing with no results, I tried a scrub-free type of bathroom cleaner. The grime just melted off. After spraying with a wet cloth, I wiped the gutters. They looked brand-new! — D.C., via email

WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages declined this week, hovering near historically low levels.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for a 30-year loan eased to 4.14 percent from 4.17 percent last week. The average for the 15-year mortgage fell to 3.22 percent from 3.30 percent.
Rising prices and higher interest rates beginning in mid-2013 have made homes less af-fordable for would-be buyers. At the same time, a limited sup-ply of homes is available to buy. Sales of new homes are running about half the rate of a healthy housing market.
Home prices rose in April from a year ago at the slowest pace in 13 months, reflecting the recent drop-off in sales, ac-cording to the latest Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index released Tues-day.
Mortgage rates are about a
quarter of a percentage point higher than they were at the same time last year. The in-crease in rates over the past year or so was driven in part by speculation that the Fed-eral Reserve would reduce its bond purchases, which have helped keep long-term interest rates low. Indeed, the Fed has announced five declines in its monthly bond purchases since December because the econo-my appears to be steadily heal-ing. But the Fed has no plans to raise its benchmark short-term rate from record lows.
After the central bank ended a two-day policy meeting last week, Fed Chair Janet Yellen sent the message that the econ-omy still isn’t healthy enough to grow at a consistently strong pace without the Fed’s help. Yellen said that despite a steadi-ly improving job market and signs of creeping inflation, the Fed sees no need to raise short-term interest rates from record lows anytime soon.
