Tentative deal reached to improve veterans health care

BY MATTHEW DALY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The chairmen of the
House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees have reached a tentative agreement on
a plan to improve veterans health care.
Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., and Sen. Bernie
Sanders, I-Vt., scheduled a news conference today to talk about a compromise plan
to fix a veterans health program scandalized by long patient wait times and falsified
records covering up delays.
Miller chairs the House veterans panel,
while Sanders chairs the Senate panel.
A spokesman for Sanders said Sunday
the men have reached a tentative agreement. The deal requires a vote by a conference committee of House and Senate
negotiators, and votes in the full House and
Senate.
Miller and Sanders said in a joint statement that they made significant progress
over the weekend toward agreement on
legislation to reform the Veterans Affairs
Department.
The plan is intended to make VA more
accountable and to help the department
recruit more doctors, nurses and other
health care professionals. Miller and
Sanders said.
Few details of the agreement were
released, but the bill is expected to authorize billions in emergency spending to lease
new 27 clinics, hire more doctors and nurses and make it easier for veterans who cant
get prompt appointments with VA doctors to
get outside care.
Sanders proposed a bill last week that
would cost about $25 billion over three
years. Miller countered with a plan to
approve $10 billion in emergency spending,
with a promise of more spending in future
years under the normal congressional budget process.
Millers bill would keep most of the
provisions in a Senate-passed bill and
would authorize about $100 million for
the Veterans Affairs Department to address

shortfalls in the current budget year.
Both bills cost significantly less than
bills approved last month by the House and
Senate.
Negotiations had appeared in jeopardy Thursday after Miller and Sanders
announced their competing plans, then held
separate news conferences lashing out at
each other. The men resumed talks in private Thursday night.
The House and Senate are set to adjourn
at the end of the week until early September,
and lawmakers from both parties have said
completing a bill on veterans health care is
a top priority.

DELPHOS It has been
quite a year for NOVFA Queen
Corinne Metzger. Since winning her crown in June 2013,
Metzger has been busy attending Northwest Ohio Volunteer
Firefighters Association events
with local firefighters.
I had a great year with
the guys and representing
them at functions, Metzger
said. They treated me like a
queen.
Metzger was there for the
team during the golf outing,
which she describes as an
experience.
I had to dodge a few golf

She also gave pep talks to

Not in my backyard: US
sending dirty coal abroad
BY DINA CAPPIELLO
Associated Press
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. As the Obama administration
weans the U.S. off dirty fuels blamed for global warming,
energy companies have been sending more of Americas
unwanted energy leftovers to other parts of the world where
they could create even more pollution.
This fossil fuel trade threatens to undermine President
Barack Obamas strategy for reducing the gases blamed for
climate change and reveals a little-discussed side effect of
countries acting alone on a global problem. The contribution
of this exported pollution to global warming is not something
the administration wants to measure, or even talk about.
This is the single biggest flaw in U.S. climate policy,
said Roger Martella, the former general counsel at the
Environmental Protection Agency under President George W.
Bush. Although the administration is moving forward with
climate change regulations at home, we dont consider how
policy decisions in the United States impact greenhouse gas
emissions in other parts of the world.
Over the past six years, American energy companies have
sent more coal than ever before to other parts of the world, in
some cases to places with more lax environmental standards.
The consequence: This global shell game makes the U.S.
appear to be making more progress than it is on global warming. Thats because it shifts some pollution and the burden
for cleaning it up onto other countries balance sheets.
Energy exports bit by bit are chipping away at gains we
are making on carbon dioxide domestically, said Shakeb
Afsah, an economist who runs an energy consulting firm in
Bethesda, Maryland.

Cable on Cedar
Point ride
snaps, hurting 2
SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP)
An Ohio amusement park
ride that swings riders as high
as 125 feet has been closed
indefinitely after a cable
snapped, injuring two visitors.
Cedar Point spokesman
Bryan Edwards said a cable
on one of the Skyhawk ride's
carriages disconnected late
Saturday. One rider was treated at a hospital and released.
The other person was treated
at the scene, the park said.
A man who said he was
near the ride when the accident occurred at about 10 p.m.
reported hearing "something
whip, then bang and screaming."
Kevin Gregg of Barnegat,
New Jersey, operator of an
online amusement park fan site
called Themeparkmaniacs.
com, told The Plain Dealer
of Cleveland the ride slowed
down to a stop with riders
screaming.
Gregg said the cable damaged the fence in front of the
ride where spectators often
stand and watch. He said he
was back at Cedar Point on
Sunday and rides were operating normally, except for
Skyhawk.
Skyhawk has two giant
arms that swing riders at
speeds up to 60 mph. The
park says the ride was closed
temporarily in 2013 for an
unrelated reason.
Edwards said Skyhawk
will remain closed until an
investigation into the cause of
the accident is completed.
Edwards said in a statement: "Safety is our top priority."
Cedar Point is the flagship park of Cedar Fair
Entertainment, the nation's
fourth-largest amusement
park company.
Authorities say
2 killed in small
plane crash
FINDLAY
(AP)
Authorities in northwest Ohio

say that two people were
killed in an early morning
small plane crash.
The Hancock County sheriff's office says that the crash
occurred at about 1:10 a.m.
EDT Sunday. Authorities
say the Federal Aviation
Administration and National
Transportation Safety Board
launched investigations of the
single-engine plane crash that
killed both people on board.
The Blade newspaper of
Toledo reports that the plane
crashed into a ditch, along a
county road just northeast of
the city of Findlay. The falling
plane clipped a power line,
knocking it down.
The Blade reports that
the plane was traveling
from Holland, Michigan, to
Bluffton, Ohio, near Findlay.
Authorities say the plane
carried a male pilot and female
passenger. Names of the dead
weren't released pending notification of family.
Elida Road safety project UNOH to host 2014

yielding positive results
technician competition
LIMA The safety

project on Ohio 309 (Elida
Road) on Limas west side
is yielding the expected
results as indicated by crash
data.
The safety upgrade project from Robb
Avenue
to
Eastown Road,
which had been
identified as a
high-accident
corridor, was
completed in
2012. The project, located in
the area of the
Lima Mall, included the
installation of a raised-curb
median down the center
of the roadway to control
left-turn movements, consolidation and elimination
of driveways, new traffic
signals and signal coordina-
tion, the addition of U-turns,

and the construction of new
roadways to help facilitate
traffic movement.
S E T Inc. of Lowellville
was the general contractor
for the project. The construction contract amount
was $7.1 million.
The crash
data
from
2006 to 2013
indicates the
overall accident rate is
trending down
as expected.
Whats most
encouraging is the rate
of injury accidents which
has been reduced from
a high of 29 in 2009 to
13 in 2013, said Kirk
Slusher, Ohio Department
of Transportation District 1
deputy director.
The total number of
crashes in 2006 was 137. In

2013, there were 75.
That represents an
overall reduction in accidents of nearly 45 percent,
said Slusher.
There has been a period
of learning associated with
the upgraded roadway, but
motorists seem to have
adjusted well.
Were not seeing many
accidents associated with
U-turn movements which
indicates to us that motorists are navigating those
successfully, he said.
The safety of the corridor was further enhanced
last year when the median
curb was extended further
into the intersection at
American Avenue, Hartzler
Road, Veterans Way and
Arthur Avenue to discourage more than one vehicle
at a time negotiating a left
or U-turn movement.
LIMA Catholic Health Partners (CHP), the
parent healthcare system of St. Ritas Medical
Center, has changed its name to Mercy Health. The
systems name change is part of a Ministry evolution to one unified team, focused on high-quality
care, increased efficiencies and lower patient costs.
Mercy Health is Ohios largest health system and
fourth-largest employer.
Our new name is a symbol of the new way
we are working together to improve the health
of the communities we serve, said Michael D.
Connelly, Mercy Healths president and CEO. It
is a key component of our vision to empower those
we serve to achieve their optimal well-being and
health, and to maximize our quality and cost efficiency by simplifying our structure. This approach
to serving and healing demonstrates our commitment to making health care easier as our more than
1,000 physicians and 32,000 employees strive to
make lives better - mind, body and spirit - to help
our patients be well.
The system already operates under the Mercy
name in five of its current seven markets, including markets serving Cincinnati, Toledo, Lorain,
Springfield and Paducah, Kentucky.
Over the next several years, the Mercy Health
name will be phased into all system facilities,
including St. Ritas Medical Center. This allows
patients to retain the trust, confidence and security
they currently have in physician, hospital and outpatient facilities that have served their communities
for more than a century.
In addition, the Ministrys website will change
to mercy.com.

We start with our patients at the center of

every decision, said Kristen Hall Wevers, Mercy
Healths chief brand, marketing and communications officer. Simplifying our operating structure
improves our ability to maximize our clinical quality and cost effectiveness, and allows us to improve
the overall experience patients and their families
have when they seek our services in times of need.
The new name also will help Mercy Health
more effectively communicate its Mission, results
and stories. Mercy Health is a national leader in
quality, safety and cost-effectiveness. True to its
Mission, Mercy Health provides more than $1 million per day in community benefit to those patients
who need services, but cannot otherwise afford
them. Mercy Health is a major economic force in
all of the communities it serves, providing nearly
$9 billion in annual economic benefit in Ohio
alone, according to a recent independent survey.
We are excited about coming together under
one name as part of a comprehensive effort to
transform healthcare and better serve the people
of West Central Ohio, said Bob Baxter, St. Ritas
president & CEO. It is important for our patients
to know that although the name of our facilities
will change over time, the physicians, hospitals
and outpatient centers will continue to provide the
same high-quality care. We are extremely fortunate
to be a part of a progressive organization working
in unison to carry forth the mission of our founders.
We are building on a solid foundation as we look
ahead as one team, focused on the health of the

communities we serve.
Mercy Healths roots date back to the mid-19th
century, when women religious answered calls
to serve poor and under-served people in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Railroad workers,
immigrants and entire communities facing serious
outbreaks of illness depended on congregations
of women religious from Canada, Germany and
Ireland to establish hospitals and nursing schools.
During the same period, in Cincinnati, Jewish
business leaders established a hospital to serve the
citys growing Jewish population. A century and a
half later and for the last quarter century these
hospitals, physicians and aligned services have
been united in one organization dedicated to helping individuals and entire communities achieve
better health. Today, that organization now is united
under a single name: Mercy Health.
The system incorporated in 1986 as Mercy
Health Care System and changed its name to
Catholic Healthcare Partners in 1997 to more accurately reflect the multiple religious communities
that sponsored it and its emphasis on partnering to
build healthier communities. The name was later
shortened to Catholic Health Partners to reflect
its growing emphasis on prevention and health, in
addition to caring in time of need.
We are continuing the ministry started by our
founders in the 1800s, Connelly said. Consistently
providing proven best practices by simplifying our
structure will strengthen and advance our ability to deliver high quality, affordable care. We are
changing to constantly improve our ministry so that
Catholic healthcare remains a strong and vibrant
choice for healthcare consumers.

Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Kramer

Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Kramer of Fort Jennings will
observe 50 years of marriage on Aug. 1.
The couple will celebrate with family on Aug. 2.
Al and the former Wilma Duling were married on
Aug. 1, 1964, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church,
the Rev. Aloysius Frederick officiating.
They are the parents of Lois (Tony) Miller of
Fort Jennings and Sharon (Brad) Goodman of Lima
and grandparents of Brett Miller and Courtney and
Brittany Goodman.
Al retired after 35 years at the Putnam County
Highway Department and he farms. Wilma is a parttime teller at Union Bank in Kalida.
DAVID CRARY
Associated Press
Nervous but determined, the 15-year-old boy walked into a
conference room in Columbus, Ohio, for a fateful interview. If
it went well, perhaps he'd have a chance to be the first member
of his impoverished family to attend college.
That was 34 years ago, but Wil Haygood the renowned
journalist and author whose writing inspired the film "The
Butler" says he remembers it "like it was yesterday."
"I knew in my heart and soul that this was a monumental
moment for little Wil Haygood," he recalled.
At stake was a place in Upward Bound founded as an
experimental program in 1964 as part of Lyndon B. Johnson's
War on Poverty with a goal of helping students from lowincome families get a college education.
A few weeks after his interview, Haygood received a letter
accepting him in the Upward Bound college prep program
taking place that summer of 1970 on the campus of Ohio
Dominican University. "The college wasn't but a few miles
from our housing project, but as a poor kid, you never set
foot there," Haygood said. "It was as if I had been lifted up
and taken to an oasis."
Haygood flourished during three summers in the federally funded program and credits the professors there and
their tough-love approach with girding him to succeed in
college.
"They didn't allow us to make excuses because we were
black or poor," he said. "They said when you get to college,
it will be 10 times harder."
Haygood went on to thrive at Miami University in Oxford,
Ohio, graduating in 1976 and returning last year to give the
commencement speech.
This summer marks the 50th anniversary of Upward
Bound. It served 2,061 participants at 17 locations in 1965;
last year it served about 76,000 students at more than 1,000
locations in 50 states.
In all, more than 2 million people have participated
studying English literature and composition, math and science, and getting practical advice on college admissions.
Upward Bound alumni include Oprah Winfrey, actresses
Viola Davis and Angela Bassett, ABC News correspondent
John Quinones, and Democratic political strategist Donna
Brazile.
"It's a 50-year-old program that continues to pay back
giving us hope and teaching so many lessons along the
way," said Maureen Hoyler, president of the Council for
Opportunity in Education. The nonprofit council, formed in
1981, represents more than 1,000 colleges and agencies that
have supported Upward Bound and its affiliated programs.
One of the keys to Upward Bound's success is that its
local programs are conducted at college campuses, whether
it's after-school and weekend sessions during the school year
or residential summer programs.
"The fact that we get to live on campus is really cool it
gives you an idea of what college is like," said Ruthy Pierre,
a 16-year-old New Yorker attending a second summer of
Upward Bound. Her program is run by John Jay College

plane is being restored, Moore

said.
"It touches something in
them," he said.
Volunteers do a variety of
jobs including crimping sheets
of metal and bending them to
the correct shape before riveting them onto the new frame.
Moore said volunteers include
a bookkeeper, a dentist, a
nurse, a financial adviser and
an engineer.
"They all come in on their
own time to help work on it,"
Moore said.
The museum bought a 1928
5-AT-B Tri-Motor, now named
the City of Port Clinton, for
$1.5 million earlier this month.
Moore says that has helped
provide a model for the restoration, but there have been problems trying to determine what
the Tri-Motor looked like when
it flew to the Lake Erie Islands.
"I've found one photograph
of it when it was part of Island
Airlines," he said.
The plane was altered many
times over the last 85 years by
various owners. Moore said the
plane changed hands numerous times, going to Montana,
Idaho, Mexico, New York and
Cuba.
The group wants the restored
aircraft to be as authentic as
possible and is seeking any
additional photos that people
may have of the plane when it
flew for Island Airlines.
The finished Tri-Motor will
remain based in Port Clinton,
but will travel to air shows
and other museums around the
Midwest.
At 50, Upward Bound still opens pathway to college

DELPHOS HERALD
PORT CLINTON (AP)

A northern Ohio group restoring a Ford Tri-Motor plane to
flying condition hopes it will
help future generations appreciate the aircraft's role in developing the Lake Erie Islands
region and commercial aviation.
The Tri-Motor Heritage
Foundation has worked for a
decade to restore a 1929 plane
that flew for Island Airlines
to the Lake Erie Islands in
1946-1952. The aircraft held
12 people and transported
The Tri-Motor Heritage
Foundation has been working for a decade to restore a
1929 B-AT-40 that flew for
the Island Airlines to the Lake
Erie Islands from 1946-1952.
It held 10 passengers, a pilot
and co-pilot and made daily
trips, transporting islanders and
visitors.
"For a lot of people here,
these planes were their first
flights, this was their way
to get to the islands," Jeff
Sondles, operations director at
the Liberty Aviation Museum
in Port Clinton, where the aircraft is being restored.
The project is expected to
take another five years and $2
million to complete, according to chief mechanic Douglas
Moore.
Moore and another mechanic have been working with 14
volunteers on the project that
means a lot to people, Moore
told the Port Clinton NewsHerald.
Some have even cried upon
entering the hangar where the
of Criminal Justice and hosted during the summer by the

College of Mount Saint Vincent on a verdant campus in the
Bronx overlooking the Hudson River.
Ruthy, of American and Haitian descent, lives with her
single mom and will be a junior this fall at Information
Technology High School in Queens. She aspires to be a lawyer but hasn't ruled out a mid-career switch to being a chef.
Upward Bound, she says, "opens up opportunities we
wouldn't get otherwise."
Among her 56 classmates in the six-week summer
program was Corinne Lopez, 15, who hopes for a career
combining her interests in graphic arts and forensic science.
Her parents came to the U.S. from South America with college educations, but have struggled to find commensurate
jobs in New York; Corinne's father works as a doorman in
Manhattan.
"It's been hard for them," Corrine said. "I've had everything given to me. I have to return the favor graduate,
become successful and help them in the future."
The summer program's schedule is intensive, with classes
and study halls filling most of the day on Mondays through
Thursdays before the students go home for three-day weekends. Karen Texeira who's directed the John Jay program
for 25 years makes sure to include a few outings, such
as this summer's foray to Broadway to see "Motown: The
Musical."
She encourages the students to have fun amid all the hard
work, though some rules are strictly enforced. There's automatic expulsion, for example, for any boy or girl found in the
dorm rooms reserved for the opposite sex.
Texeira's second-in-command is counselor Omar
Abdullah, 32, who grew up in Harlem, was an Upward
Bound student himself in the late 1990s, and is now pursuing
a master's degree in public administration.
"Before I did Upward Bound, I was really shy too
shy to place an order at McDonald's," he said. "At Upward
Bound, you had to break out of that shell."
"What I took out of it especially was the friendships. It's
like a family to us 24 hours a day, four days a week," he
said. "The last day of the program, kids are crying. Some of
them don't want to go home."
Throughout its history, Upward Bound has compiled a
strong record of success. Of the students who take part for at
least three years, more than 90 percent go directly to college
after completing high school.
That level of performance has earned Upward Bound
strong bipartisan support in Congress, yet the program
nonetheless faces fiscal challenges because of the broader
turmoil on Capitol Hill.
The program's budget, which started out at $6 million 50
years ago, reached an all-time high of almost $327 million
in 2012, but was trimmed by about 5 percent last year along
with many other federal programs. As a result, enrollment
dropped to 75,996 students, down from an all-time high of
79,672 in 2012.
"How do you do more with less?" asked Maureen
Hoyler, describing a budget-related struggle to recruit and
train professional staff capable of overseeing the academic
program and providing advice on how to get into college,
pay for it, and flourish while there.
She said Upward Board's role in college guidance has
become increasingly crucial as many of the high schools
supplying students to the program have cut back on their
own guidance efforts.
"We want our students to make an informed choice,"
Hoyler said. "We also want them to stay in college once
they go. They need to be able to ask for help."
As mandated by Congress, two-thirds of Upward Bound
students must come from families with incomes at or below 150
percent of the federal poverty level and in which neither parent
graduated from college. Some are homeless or live in group
homes or foster homes, and about 75 percent are minorities.

Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
Pain Doctor Discovers Blood FlowBusting Material Into Miracle Socks

for
Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
What part of your swollen, tired,

or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called BambusaTM.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a BambusaTM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in contact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, athletes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fatigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were photographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemuscle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.

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

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature
due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cellular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and recommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exaggeration the relief was almost instantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negativeanion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
BambusaTM socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and noticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had painfree feet - UNTILNOW!
I went out on the golf course

for 18 holes of golf, and when I got
home my feet werent swollen,
they werent sweating and my feet
didnt hurt, says Lou B. from New

Michael Strahan had one objective

in mind when he came to the New York
Giants as a second-round draft pick in
1993 out of Texas Southern.
My goal when I first started was just
to make a little money so I didnt have
to move back to my parents house, he
says. I didnt want to disappoint my
parents. So that was my goal, to kind of
just make my parents proud, make them
happy, play as hard and just do the best
I could do.
The best he could do was pretty
good: Strahan will be inducted into the
Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday
night.
Strahan was the leader of a defense
that stunned the undefeated Patriots in
the 2008 Super Bowl. He holds the single-season mark for sacks with 22 1/2 in
2001 yeah, we know all about Brett
Favres dive for the record-setting
sack. He retired with 141 1/2 sacks,
seven Pro Bowl appearances and four

And while he was a game-changer
on the field, he was making his mark
elsewhere with his gregarious personality, gap-toothed smile and willingness to
step out of his comfort zone. He became
a regular in commercials, most notably
for Subway.
Strahan easily moved from the field
to the television studio after retirement
and now is co-host of the Live! With

Anderson captures Fricke

Memorial Thunderstock Select
LIMA It was an evening that featured the Budweiser Thunderstocks

division at Limaland Motorsports Park
Friday night and for spectators of the
heat races earlier in the night, it came
as little surprise that Tony Anderson and
Limas Jeff Koz took top honors in the
money races to cap off the program.
Defending
division
champio
Anderson moved to the front through
the early stages of the 10-lap Fricke
Memorial and held off challenges from
both Koz and fellow frontrunner Tim
Cole. Anderson piloted his number 22T
machine flawlessly around the highbanked -mile oval, as he has done
many times previously, and rolled to the
coveted checkered flag.
This was a good field of stock cars
out here tonight, noted Anderson afterward. The top of the track isnt my
usual domain but the car was working
well up there so you do what you have
to in order to compete and win. Im
really grateful for my crew, sponsors
and family.
Earlier in the race program, it was
Koz that dominated in winning the
Thunderstocks regular 15-lap feature.
A pair of mid-race caution flags didnt
slow his progress as he led the field
from flag to flag after starting from the
front row.
It a fast race track again tonight and
this car loves fast, tacky tracks, said
Koz. This win goes to Dean Miracle.
I drive his modified and his mom is in
the hospital so were thinking of them.
The win marked the third of the 2014
season for Koz and the 16th of his career
at Limaland Motorsports Park.
The Elwer Fence sprint car 25-lap
feature field was stacked with speed at
the front and the Hammons Motorsports
entries ultimately scored a rare 1-2 finish. It wasnt as easy as the result
might appear as Hammons drivers Max
Stambaugh and JR Stewart had to battle
with a pair of veterans from nearby
Putnam County, Jared Horstman and
Butch Schroeder, to eventually triumph.
Horstman revealed earlier that his
team was racing with heavy hearts as
he dedicated a Dash for Cash win to
open the night of racing to his neighbor
and friend Andrew Altenburger, who
lost his life tragically that morning in
an ATV accident. Horstman carried that
emotion through the opening laps of
the feature and produced some thrilling
early-race action with both Stambaugh
and Stewart.
As Horstman roared around the high
side of the track surface, Stambaugh
was being successful working a middle
line and the two drivers made the event
their own playground for most of the
feature. A 2-car mishap in turn number four involving Jimmy Snead and
Ryan Kirkendall brought out a red-flag
race stoppage but also set up the field
for a 5-lap dash to the checkered flag.
Stambaugh never surrendered the lead
and on the white-flag lap, Horstman
made contact with the front straight
wall, ending his hopes.
While Stambaugh and his teammate
Stewart rolled to glory, Horstman settled
for a 13th-place finish with his orangecolored number 17 stalled in turn one.
It got a little nervy a few times
when I got behind slow cars and with
the 17 always coming, noted a relieved
Stambaugh of Elida. Ron (Hammons)
gave me a great opportunity this year
so I come out here and do what I can.
When it gets hectic, you just have to
keep going.
It was Stambaughs second feature
win of 2014.

The 20-lap Reineke Modifieds feature was being touted as a rematch of
Todd Sherman and Matt Westfall as the
two leading points drivers in the division literally raced to a razor-thin margin
at the finish the previous week with
Westfall edging Sherman. On this night,
Sherman was fortunate to start the race
from the outside of the front row with
Westfall just behind on the inside of row
number two.
It was too much for the rest of the
field, with the notable exception of
Tony Anderson and Terry Hull, to effectively challenge at the front of the field.
Sherman chose to lead the field primarily racing on the high side of the track
and Westfall followed him nose-to-tail
through the entire event. At one point in
the action, Westfall produced a difficult
slide job maneuver through turn number
four but even that failed to give him race
leadership.
A late race caution set up a white-flag
duel to decide the eventual winner. It
was eerily similar to the previous week
when Westfall somehow got around
Sherman to record the win. On this
occasion, Sherman stayed at the top of
the track for maximum traction and held
off Westfall to post the win
Im a catfish; I like the bottom,
joked Sherman. The top was sort of
treacherous but my son is my signal
guy and he said take it to the top. I was
just holding him (Westfall) off and it
was a heckuva drive.
It was Shermans third win of 2014
and the 39th of his Modified career at
Limaland Motorsport Park. He retains
his points lead with three weeks of
action remaining.

Indians
(Continued from page 6)
Billy Butler had three hits for the Royals, including an

RBI double. He had homered in his previous two games but
Santana equaled Butlers season home run total in the series.
Santana is the first player to hit five home runs in a series
since Hunter Pence for San Francisco against the Dodgers last
September.
Santana tied an Indians record for most home runs in a
series. The others were Hal Trosky (1934), Joe Carter (1989),
Albert Belle (1995), Matt Williams (1997) and Travis Hafner
(2004). Hafner did it in 2-game series against the Angels.
RED SOX 3, RAYS 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. David Ortiz hit a 3-run homer and the Boston Red Sox
beat Tampa Bay 3-2 Sunday to end a 5-game losing streak and stop the Rays longest
winning streak in 10 years at nine games.
Ortizs 25th home run came in the third off Chris Archer (6-6) after a walk and
Dustin Pedroias infield single. Ortizs homer was his fifth in seven games and his 29th
at Tropicana Field, most among visiting players.
Desmond Jennings hit a 2-run double in the third against Allen Webster (1-0), who
pitched 5 1/3 innings in his first major-league appearance this season.
Koji Uehara pitched the ninth for his 21st save, striking out the last three batters.
BLUE JAYS 5, YANKEES 4
NEW YORK Dioner Navarro hit a go-ahead single with two outs in the ninth
and Toronto rallied after wasting three leads for its first series win in the Bronx since
Aug. 27-29, 2012.
After snapping a 17-game skid at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, Toronto did not
relent in the humidity. Jose Bautista reached on a fielders choice against David
Robertson (1-3) in the ninth, stole second without a throw and scored on Navarros
liner to center field.
Aaron Sanchez (1-0) gave up Carlos Beltrans tying RBI hit in the eighth. Munenori
Kawasaki had put Toronto ahead with a sacrifice fly that followed Dellin Betances
2-base error on a pickoff attempt.
MARLINS 4, ASTROS 2
HOUSTON Garrett Jones and Marcell Ozuna homered for Miami, which completed a 3-game sweep. Houston has lost five in a row and 8-of-10.
Jones homer capped a 3-run first for the Marlins and Ozuna padded the lead with
his solo shot in the sixth. Miami has won 7-of-8 following a 6-game skid.
Jacob Turner (4-6) allowed one run and six hits in 5 2/3 innings and Steve Cishek
allowed one run in the ninth before getting his 26th save.
Collin McHugh (4-9) gave up four runs and seven hits 6 1/3 innings with nine
strikeouts.
TWINS 4, WHITE SOX 3
MINNEAPOLIS Sam Fuld hit a tie-breaking, 2-run single off Javy Guerra in a
3-run seventh inning and Minnesota avoided a 4-game sweep.
Reds
Reds manager Bryan Price

keeps waiting for his team to
take early leads and put pressure on the opponent.
What it comes down to is
we didnt score many runs,
he added. We have to get
better at that. Guys are trying
but arent getting anything
out of their effort. You cant
wait until the ninth inning.
We have to get more runners
on base.
The teams went the entire
3-game series without hitting
a home run, the first time in
the 12-year history of Great
American Ball Park that three
consecutive games have been
played without a home run.
The Reds and Nationals combined to hit just two home
runs in their six games this
season one by each team.
Reds starter Mat Latos
allowed no hits through the
first four innings before
Danny Espinosa led off the
fifth with a clean single. Fister
sacrificed Espinosa to second with one out and Latos
walked Denard Span and hit
Anthony Rendon to load the
bases. Jayson Werth walked
to drive in a run after falling
behind 0-2 and LaRoche followed with a 2-run single for
a 3-0 lead.
Latos and plate umpire
Toby Basner exchanged
words as the Reds left the
field after the inning.
Latos (2-3), in his eighth
start after opening the season on the disabled list with
elbow and knee problems,
lasted six innings, giving up
three hits and three runs with
four walks and a season-high
six strikeouts.
PHILLIES 4, DIAMONDBACKS 2
PHILADELPHIA Ryan Howard
homered in his second game since a

3-game benching and scored the goahead run on an overturned call at the
plate in the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2
win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on
Sunday.
With the score 2-2 in the sixth,
Howard walked with two outs against
Vidal Nuno (0-2). Marlon Byrd popped
up to short right field, where second
baseman Didi Gregorius backpedaled
slowly, settled under the ball and allowed
it to kick off his glove and bounce toward
center.
Ender Inciarte picked up the ball and
threw to the plate, where catcher Miguel
Montero blocked Howards path. Umpire
Dale Scott signaled out but the call was
reversed in a video review.
Roberto Hernandez (5-8) allowed
two runs and four hits in seven innings
and Jonathan Papelbon pitched a 2-hit
ninth for his 25th save.
METS 2, BREWERS 0
MILWAUKEE Lucas Duda hit a
2-run homer in the sixth off Jimmy Nelson
(1-2), Dudas third homer in four days in
Milwaukee.
Rookie Jacob deGrom (5-5) allowed
four hits in 6 1/3 innings. Jenrry Mejia
got his 15th save when Lyle Overbay
grounded out with two on.
CARDINALS 1, CUBS 0
CHICAGO Adam Wainwright (135) allowed five hits in seven innings and
Matt Holliday homered int he first off
rookie Kyle Hendricks (1-1).
Trevor Rosenthal pitched the ninth
for his 32nd save, completing a 6-hitter.
St. Louis won two out of three at
the Cubs, who have not won a series
at Wrigley Field since taking 2-of3 from Miami from June 6-8. Chicago
has lost 15-of-19 overall since July 15,
the day they traded All-Star pitcher Jeff
Samardzija to Oakland.
BRAVES 8, PADRES 3
ATLANTA Chris Johnson and
Ryan Doumit each drove in two runs during Atlantas 6-run third inning.
Mike Minor (4-6) allowed three runs
and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings and Atlanta
roughed up Eric Stults (3-13) for six runs
and six hits in six innings.
A few thousand fans arrived early to
watch the Hall of Fame ceremonies on
the Turner Field video board. Among the
inductees were former Braves managers
Bobby Cox and Joe Torre and pitchers
Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux.
PIRATES 7, ROCKIES 5
DENVER Josh Harrison had four
hits, including an eighth-inning homer
on the first pitch by Rex Brothers (3-5)
that broke a 5-5 tie. Gregory Polanco
homered four pitches later.
Tony Watson (7-1) gave up a run in
two innings of relief to get the win and
Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his
19th save.

Son-in-laws abusive father

makes family gathering painful
DEAR ABBY: I adore
my son-in-law, Tom. Hes
a wonderful husband to our
daughter. Hes always inviting
us to dinner along with his
parents and family. We get
along with them, but cant
stand how they treat Tom.
We have never seen parents
treat their children the way
they treat him -- especially
the father. Tom is practically
begging for his approval and
attention on a daily basis.
The last time we had dinner
together, you could see the
hurt and embarrassment on
Toms face after his father
spoke to him. I desperately
want to say something to
the father, but I dont know
if I should. What would
you do in this situation? -DESPERATELY
WANTS
TO HELP
DEAR
WANTS
TO
HELP: Id sit down with
Tom and tell him how much
I love him, how I appreciate
the wonderful way he treats
my daughter, and say what a
joy it is that he is a part of my
family. Then Id tell Tom his
fathers behavior is uncalled
for, and how painful it is to
watch because he doesnt
deserve it.
I would explain that some
people in this world try to

control others by withholding
affection and approval, and
regrettably, its a technique
abusive parents -- and
sometimes lovers -- use to
exert control over those who
love them and want only to be
loved and accepted. And then
I would ask him if he wanted
me to call his father on it,
because watching it happen
is painful and prevents you
from enjoying the dinner.
P.S. Counseling might help
Tom recognize whats going
on and give him the tools to
handle his father, if hes open
to it.
DEAR ABBY: Im 17
and feeling so sad because
I just lost my dad. I cant
talk to my stepmom because
shes too busy hanging out
with her friends, drinking
and partying. My dad died
a couple of months ago, and
shes already having sex with
my dads friends. I heard
them talking about it. I have
no other family that I can go
to. I really hate her right now!
Please tell me what to do. -GRIEVING IN FLORIDA
DEAR
GRIEVING:
Please know how sorry I am
for the loss of your father. It
would be helpful for you to
find another adult to talk to

about your feelings. Because
you have no family other than
your stepmother, perhaps the
mother of one of your friends
would listen and guide you.
If thats not possible, and
you belong to a church, you
should talk to the minister.
Hating your stepmom isnt
the answer. She may be acting
the way she is because shes
trying to cope with the loss of
your father by attempting to
distract herself from the pain.
It wont work, by the way, but
she may have to learn that by
trial and error. A grief-support
group could be helpful for
both of you.

Untreated diabetes leads to serious complications

DEAR DOCTOR
K: How does Type 1
diabetes differ from
Type 2 diabetes?
DEAR READER:
Type 1 and Type 2
diabetes are different
diseases, but they
share many things in
common. Both types
of diabetes are marked
by elevated levels
of blood glucose, or
sugar. Type 2 diabetes,
though, is much more
common than Type 1
diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes
also tends to begin in
adulthood, although
increasingly it is being
seen in teenagers who
are very obese. Type 1
diabetes tends to start
in childhood, although
it can start later in life.
The two types of
diabetes can both
lead to the same
serious complications.
Left untreated, or
inadequately treated,
either type can lead to
heart attacks, strokes,
kidney
failure,
amputation
and
blindness.
To
understand
diabetes
-both
Type 1 and Type
2 -- its helpful to
understand how your

body
metabolizes
sugar. When you eat
carbohydrates, your
digestive
system
breaks them down into
simple sugars, such as
glucose. These simple
sugars inside your gut
get absorbed into your
bloodstream.
Then
the sugar travels to
your cells, providing
nourishment
and
energy.
For sugar to give
your cells energy, it
has to get inside the
cells. Thats where a
hormone called insulin
comes in. Insulin is
a chemical made by
the pancreas. When
the pancreas sees
sugar levels rising in
your blood after you
eat, it releases insulin
into the blood. When
insulin reaches your
cells, it causes sugar
to enter the cells.
When sugar enters
your cells, it leaves
the blood. As a result,
blood sugar levels
drop. On the other
hand, if your pancreas
cant make enough
insulin, or if your
cells dont respond
normally to insulin,

sugar cant get into the

cells and builds up in
your blood.
In healthy people,
blood glucose levels
remain
within
a
narrow range. This
is important because
certain organs, such
as the brain and
kidneys, depend on
a consistent, steady
supply of glucose.
The more common
Type 2 diabetes results
from a combination of
abnormalities. First,
your cells become
less responsive to
insulin. The pancreas
rallies to compensate
for this by pumping
out more insulin. For
a while, that keeps
blood sugar levels
normal. Eventually,
the pancreas gets
pooped and cant
keep up with the
increased
insulin
demand. Blood sugar
levels
then
rise,
resulting in diabetes.
Treatments
for
Type 2 diabetes are
drugs that make cells
more responsive to
insulin, drugs that
encourage
more
insulin
production
by the pancreas, and
insulin
injections.
Weight
loss
and
regular exercise make
cells more responsive
to insulin.
The less common
Type 1 diabetes is an
autoimmune disease.
Dr. Anthony
Komoroff
On Health
The bodys immune

system mistakes the
insulin-producing
cells of the pancreas as
foreign and destroys
them. This eventually
leaves the body unable
to produce insulin. To
reverse
symptoms,
people with Type 1
diabetes must have
daily injections of
insulin. This replaces
the insulin their bodies
cannot produce.
A century ago,
many people who
developed
either
type of diabetes died
prematurely.
Let
us be thankful that
research has led to
major improvements
in treatment.

Plan to simplify 2015 health Comic-Con's dark side: Harassment amid the fantasy
renewals may backfire
SANDY COHEN
Associated Press
RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON If you
have health insurance on your
job, you probably don't give
much thought to each year's
renewal. But make the same
assumption in one of the new
health law plans, and it could
lead to costly surprises.
Insurance exchange customers who opt for convenience by
automatically renewing their
coverage for 2015 are likely
to receive dated and inaccurate financial aid amounts from
the government, say industry
officials, advocates and other
experts.
If those amounts are too low,
consumers could get sticker
shock over their new premiums.
Too high, and they'll owe the tax
man later.
Automatic renewal was supposed to make the next openenrollment under President
Barack Obama's health care
overhaul smooth for consumers.
But unless the administra-
tion changes its 2015 approach,

"they're setting people up for
large and avoidable premium
increases," said researcher
Caroline Pearson, who follows
the health law for the market
analysis firm Avalere Health.
It could be a new twist on
an old public relations headache
for the White House: You keep
the health plan you like but get
billed way more.
"It was our preference for
(the administration) to have
the capacity to update people's
subsidy information, but they
haven't been able to get that
built," said Brendan Buck,
a spokesman for the industry
trade group America's Health
Insurance Plans.
Here's the issue, in a nutshell:
To streamline next year's
open enrollment season, the
Health and Human Services
Department recently proposed
offering automatic renewal to
8 million consumers who are
already signed up.
But the fine print of the HHS
announcement said consumers
who auto enroll will get the "the
exact dollar amount" of financial

aid they are receiving this year.
That's likely to be a problem
for a couple of reasons, not to
mention inflation.
First, financial aid is partly
based on premiums for a current
benchmark plan in the community where the consumer lives.
Because more plans are joining the market and insurers are
submitting entirely new bids for
2015, the benchmark in many
communities will be different.
Second, financial aid is also
based on household income. If
your income goes down, you
are entitled to a bigger health
insurance tax credit. If it goes
up, you get less. The 2014
amounts could well be out of
date and incorrect for many
people. Financial assistance is
also affected by age, family
size and where people live.
And that doesn't get into
another motivation for consumers to shop around:
Premiums and choices for
2015 are changing, so your
current plan may no longer be
a good deal.
SAN DIEGO Amid the costumes and

fantasy of this weekend's Comic-Con convention, a group of young women drew
widespread attention to a very real issue
allegations of sexual harassment at the annual
pop-culture festival.
Geeks for CONsent, founded by three
women from Philadelphia, gathered nearly
2,600 signatures on an online petition supporting a formal anti-harassment policy at
Comic-Con.
Conventioneers told Geeks for CONsent
they had been groped, followed and unwillingly photographed during the four-day confab.
Meanwhile, what Geeks for CONsent and
others regarded as blatant objectification continued on the convention floor. Scantily-clad
women were still used as decoration for
some presentations, and costumed women
were described as "vaguely slutty" by panel
moderator Craig Ferguson. When Dwayne
Johnson made a surprise appearance to promote "Hercules," 10 women in belly-baring
outfits stood silently in front of the stage for
no apparent reason.
Groping, cat-calling and other forms of
sexual harassment are a larger social issue, not
just a Comic-Con problem. And many comics
and movies still portray women as damsels in
distress. But Geeks for CONsent says things
are amplified at the festival, where fantasy
plays such a large role.
"It's a separate, more specific issue within
the convention space," said Rochelle Keyhan,

29, director of Geeks for CONsent. "It's very
much connected (to the larger problem) and
it's the same phenomena, but manifesting a little more sexually vulgar in the comic space."
"Comic-Con has an explicit Code of
Conduct that addresses harassing and offensive behavior," said Comic-Con International
in a statement on Sunday to The Associated
Press. "This Code of Conduct is made available online as well as on page two of the
Events Guide that is given to each attendee."
Earlier, Comic-Con spokesman David
Glanzer told the Los Angeles Times that
"anyone being made to feel uncomfortable at
our show is obviously a concern for us." He
said additional security was in place this year,
including an increased presence by San Diego
Police.
Keyhan's focus on Comic-Con began with
a movement launched in her hometown called
HollabackPhilly, to help end public harassment against women and members of the
LGBT community. She and her colleagues
developed a comic book on the subject in
hopes of engaging middle- and high-school
students, which is what brought them to
Comic-Con.
Costuming, or cosplay, is a big part of the
popular convention, with male and female fans
dressing as their favorite characters, regardless
of gender. A man might wear a Wonder Woman
outfit, and a woman could dress as Wolverine.
Keyhan and her colleagues all in costume
carried signs and passed out temporary tattoos during the convention that read, "Cosplay
does not equal consent."

Moscow has angrily denied allegations of

Russia's involvement in eastern Ukraine. Russia's
foreign ministry over the weekend accused the U.S.
of conducting "an unrelenting campaign of slander
against Russia, ever more relying on open lies."
Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by phone
Sunday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov, urging him to stop the flow of heavy weapons and rocket and artillery fire from Russia into
Ukraine, said a State Department official. Kerry
did not accept Lavrov's denial that heavy weapons
from Russia were contributing to the conflict, said
the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity
to provide details of the call.

BRUSSELS Months
after Russia annexed Crimea
and stepped up support for
separatists in eastern Ukraine,
Europe and the United States
are still searching for a way
to persuade Russian President
Vladimir Putin to change
course.
Targeted economic sanctions and threats of tougher
ones have yet to alter what
western officials say is
Moscow's growing backing
for the rebels, including the
shelling of Ukrainian military
targets in southeast Ukraine
from inside Russian territory
and alleged plans to boost
weapons supplies.
The U.S. on Sunday
released satellite images that
it says show that rockets have
been fired from Russia into
neighboring eastern Ukraine
and that heavy artillery for
separatists also has crossed
the border. The images, which
came from the U.S. Director
of National Intelligence and
could not be independently
verified by The Associated
Press, show blast marks where
rockets were launched and
craters where they landed.
The Pentagon said just
days ago that the movement
of Russian heavy-caliber artillery systems across its border
into Ukraine is "imminent."
That escalation of military
posturing is not the retreat the
West was hoping sanctions
would encourage.
Putin has been walking a
tightrope in recent months,
limiting his involvement in
the Ukraine crisis just enough
to avoid truly biting Western
sanctions. But the downing of
a Malaysia Airlines passenger
jet July 17, blamed by the
U.S. and Ukraine on pro-Russian rebels possibly with
Russian help might have
changed the equation, galvanizing support among reluctant Europeans for additional
penalties.
As companies look to double U.S. coal exports, with three

new terminals along the West Coast, America could be fueling
demand for coal when many experts say that most fossil fuels
should remain buried to avert the most disastrous effects of
climate change.
But the administration has resisted calls from governors in
Washington and Oregon to evaluate and disclose such global
fallout, saying that if the U.S. didnt supply the coal, another
country would.
White House officials say U.S. coal has a negligible global
footprint and reducing coals use worldwide is the best way to
ease global warming. The U.S. in 2012 accounted for 9 percent
of worldwide coal exports, the latest data available.
There may be a very marginal increase in coal exports
caused by our climate policies, said Rick Duke, Obamas
deputy climate adviser, in an interview with The Associated
Press. Given that coal supply is widely available from many
sources, our time is better spent working on leading toward
a global commitment to cut carbon pollution on the demand
side.
Guidance drafted by White House officials in 2010 did
outline how broadly agencies should look at carbon emissions
from U. S. projects. Four years later, that guidance is still under
review.
They have sat on their hands, said George Kimbrell, a
senior attorney for the Center for Food Safety, which has sued
the administration over this delay.
Carbon dioxide, regardless of where it enters the atmosphere, contributes to the sea level rise and in some cases
severe weather in the U.S. and the world.
Changing the global system to account for production
would carry political risks, especially for the U.S., which is
trying to boost production of energy and exports even as it
addresses global warming.
The U.S. needs to be pragmatic on this, said Jason
Bordoff, director of Columbia Universitys Center on Global
Energy Policy. If our coal exports are very small and having no or little impact on global greenhouse gas emissions
... the government has to take into account the economic and
foreign policy costs of restricting exports. He was a National
Security Council energy and climate change adviser to Obama
until January 2013.
Over the past six years, as the U.S. cut coal consumption by
195 million tons, about 20 percent of that coal was shipped overseas, according to an AP analysis of Energy Department data.
Less coal being burned here has helped the power sector
reduce carbon emissions by 12 percent and left more U.S. coal
in the ground. But a growing share is finding its way abroad.
Analyses suggest U.S. exports could be reducing by half or
wiping out completely the pollution savings in the U.S. from
switching power plants from coal to natural gas.
The nexus of the challenge can be found in and around
Norfolk, Virginia, which exports more coal than any other
