At Monday night’s meeting Council voted to rescind the authorization approved weeks ago for Mayor Mike Gerlach to sign the proposed contract with the Commissioners, to take over Rutland’s bankrupt operation. However, no action on the proposed contract with Middleport has been taken by the Commissioners, who are now currently operating the system. With the passage of time and changing conditions, Council, on the advice of the village’s attorney, voted to rescind the mayor’s authorization to sign the contract which terminates the negotiations. During the meeting the agreement for the Red Cross to use building facilities as an official shelter was approved by Council. It was noted that the building meets all the criteria for an emergency shelter including a generator to keep the electricity, water and sewer systems, a kitchen, and a separate room for instances where communal living is not suitable. It was also noted that in an emergency the village is in a position to provide water to the Overbrook Rehabilitation Center. A renewal of a contract to do that for Overbrook was signed earlier this year. Officer Mony Wood who handles the jail operation, reported the need for a commercial washer to be used to handle jail laundry, since the old one is broken. The purchase was authorized by Council. Wood also reported that the new freezer purchased last month is now in use in the kitchen where meals for the prisoners are prepared. A contract at $65 a month for required pest control was awarded by Council to the Dodson Brothers. Council heard a first reading to an ordinance which would raise the deposit required to get water service restored to $100. Two more readings are required before a vote is taken. Mayor Gerlach noted that the proposal is for a 35 percent increase. The suggestion for the increase in price was made at a prior meeting by Roger Manley. In other business, Council heard from Dave Boyd about some potential damage from the fireworks set off on July 4 and the liability in the event of See PROPOSAL ‌| 5 New charges of theft, forgery filed against Lentes Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com Photos by Sarah Hawley | Daily Sentinel Ten days ago this was the scene at Southern High School, windows removed and demolition work taking place. Down with the old Southern makes way for new facility Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com RACINE — For many in the Southern portion of Meigs County, the past few weeks have marked the end of an era. Driving through Racine, one cannot help but notice the progress that has taken place on the Southern Local School District grounds since this time last year. Some of the most evident signs of that progress have come over the past few weeks with the demolition of the old Southern High School. The building, which opened in January 1962, is being replaced by a new state of the art facility which will open to students at the start of this school year. The new high school is being constructed as an attachment to the current Southern Elementary building. The building, which less than two months ago was full of students, is now a pile of bricks and twisted metal being hauled away. Demolition took several weeks, as asbestos and harmful materials had to be removed before the structure could be taken down. Work to bring down the old high school building began a little more than an month ago and is nearly completed. The lone portion of the old high school that remains is the vocational agriculture building which was constructed in 1977 as a stand alone structure. In June 2012, construction began on the new facility, which is now just weeks from completion as Southern prepares to open the 2013-14 school year on Sept. 3. According to Superintendent Tony Deem, construction crews are currently putting in lockers, painting walls, and getting ready to start up the HVAC. Ceiling tiles are ready to go in some rooms. Store front glass is being installed on the outside stairway facing the road. The metal roof will be done in about four weeks. “The building should still be ready for the start of school with some work that will need completing after we are in,” said Deem. In the background the new Southern High School building can be seen behind the pile of bricks and twisted metal. GALLIPOLIS — A former attorney who previously faced a felony theft charge dismissed in Gallia County in 2011, is again facing charges contained within a new indictment filed last year with the common pleas court. After being arrested late last month on a warrant on indictment near St. Louis, Missouri, John R. Lentes, 57, Overland, Mo., formerly of Crown City, pleaded not guilty on Monday to two charges of forgery and two charges of theft during a hearing in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County. According to the indictment in this case, Lentes is alleged to have forged the signature of Gallia County Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans between November 1, 2004, and May 31, 2007, and is also alleged to have forged a common pleas court judgment entry between November 1, 2004, and May 31, 2007. In addition, the indictment also outlines two charges of theft in which the defendant is alleged to have stolen cash from six victims between September 1, 2005, and December 31, 2008, property valued at over $1,000, but less than $7,500; and, in a separate theft charge, Lentes is alleged to have stolen more than $7,500, but less than $150,000, from two female victims between April 1, 2003, and December 11, 2008. Lentes, who served two terms as the Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney from 1993-2001, later opened a practice in Gallipolis. He was disbarred in 2008 following a hearing before the Ohio Supreme Court after complaints were filed by at least three former clients who were represented by Lentes in civil matters between 2004 and 2007. After an investigation, the supreme court’s Board of Grievances and Discipline found that Lentes had been dishonest, negligent and incompetent in his representation of clients. In 2010, Lentes was arraigned in the common pleas court and charged with one count of theft after he had allegedly stolen See CHARGES ‌| 5 Eastern School Board approves personnel matters Staff Report tdsnews@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS — The Eastern Local Board of Education approved several personnel items during its recent meeting.

(AP) — Asiana Airlines Flight 214 was 500 feet up and about a half-minute from San Francisco International Airport when its speed dropped below the threshold for a safe landing. It continued slowing until just about eight seconds before touchdown, when pilots recognized the need for more speed and throttled up. But it already was too late. By the time the engines responded, the hulking Boeing 777 was barely above San Francisco Bay, and the plane clipped the seawall at the end of the runway, slammed down, spun around and caught fire. Incredibly, only two of the 307 people on board died, and most of the survivors suffered few or no injuries. The head of the National Transportation Safety Board on Monday revealed additional details about the final seconds before Saturday’s crash but what remained unknown was why the pilots didn’t react sooner. Some of those answers are expected to come Tuesday, after details emerge from U.S. and Korean joint interviews with the pilots that began Monday. Choi Jeong-ho, a senior official for South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, told reporters in a briefing Tuesday in South Korea that investigators from both countries questioned two of the four Asiana pilots, Lee Gang-guk and Lee Jeong-min, on Monday, and they planned to question the two other pilots and air controllers Tuesday. Choi said recorded conversation between the pilots and air controllers at the San Francisco airport would be investigated, too. “I think this accident is going to go down as a textbook case study on what they call cockpit resource management, which is a fancy way of saying how the pilots talk to each other and identify solutions,” said former NTSB Managing Director Peter Goelz. As for the interviews, “the reality is this is not going to be an interrogation,” he said. “The NTSB will ask them to tell us in your own words what was going on. The investigators will have some advantage,” with information from the cockpit voice recorder. “But it’s not a cross-examination. It’s an effort to understand what the pilot remembers and what he remembers saying and doing.” There is a possibility a license could be revoked or fines or penalties issued, Goelz said. “The FAA will take a look at this going down the road and see if there were any egregious violations,” he said. The challenge for authorities this week is to discover what decisions were made in the cockpit of the giant jet, where an experienced pilot was learning his way around a new aircraft and fellow pilots were supposed to be monitoring his actions. Questions include whether all four pilots were in the cockpit, as expected, or just the trainee and his trainer, both experienced pilots. In addition, authorities were reviewing the initial rescue efforts after fire officials acknowledged that one of their trucks might have run over one of the two Chinese teenagers killed in the crash. The students, Wang Linjia and Ye Mengyuan, were part of a larger group headed for a Christian summer camp with dozens of classmates. National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman said investigators reviewed flight data and watched airport surveillance video to determine whether an emergency vehicle ran over one of students. But they have not reached any firm conclusions. A county coroner said he would need at least two weeks to rule in the matter. The teens had been in the rear of the aircraft, where many of the most seriously injured passengers were seated, Hersman said. Their bodies were found on the tarmac. The investigators found traces of fire on the left side of the exterior parts of the plane’s right engine, according to a statement from South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. They also detected a skid mark at the runway, it said. The NTSB also said part of the jet’s tail section was found in San Francisco Bay, and debris from the seawall was several hundred feet down the runway, indicating the plane hit the seawall on its approach. Two other South Korean investigators — one from the government and one from Asiana — left for Washington to take part in an analysis of the plane’s black box, and they are to arrive in Washington 11:20 a.m. local time Tuesday, the statement said. Asiana President Yoon Young-doo left Tuesday for San Francisco. He said he will look at the efforts of airline employees to help injured passengers and their family members, visit with the NTSB and other organizations to apologize for the crash and try to meet injured passengers. Yoon said he can’t meet with the Asiana pilots because no outside contact with them is allowed until the investigation is completed. The airline acknowledged Monday in Seoul that the pilot at the controls had little experience flying that type of plane and was landing one for the first time at that airport. Yoon said Lee Jeongmin, a 777 pilot, was the pilot on 33 flights to San Francisco, and Lee Gangguk was a pilot on 29 flights into San Francisco but on other planes. Lee Jeong-min had been named a training pilot on the flight because he was among the top 25 percent of Asiana pilots, Yoon said. Lee Gang-guk had logged nearly 10,000 hours operating other planes but had only 43 hours in the 777, a plane he still was getting used to flying, said Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin. It was unclear whether the other two pilots were in the cockpit, which seats four. But that would be standard procedure at the end of a long international flight. More than 180 people aboard the plane went to hospitals with injuries. But remarkably, more than a third didn’t even require hospitalization. The passengers included 141 Chinese, 77 South Koreans, 64 Americans, three Canadians, three Indians, one Japanese, one Vietnamese and one person from France. South Korea officials said 39 people remained hospitalized in seven different hospitals in San Francisco. South Korean officials and 62 workers from Asiana and 30 from United Airlines are assisting the injured passengers and their family members. The flight originated in Shanghai, China, and stopped over in Seoul, South Korea, before making the nearly 11-hour trip to San Francisco. CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — The Clarksburg police chief and a lieutenant have agreed to step down to avoid federal criminal charges related to the delayed arrest of a city councilman in a domestic assault case, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday. U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld II announced that the chief, Marshall Goff, and Lt. Tim Smith are accused of civil rights violations and making false statements to federal authorities. Both resigned on Monday. Clarksburg police were called to councilman Sam “Zeke” Lopez’s home on April 2, where his wife claimed Lopez pinned her down, hit her with a rolling pin and dumped food on her during an argument. Lopez was arrested July 3 and charged with one count of domestic battery. “Goff and Smith became involved in the response and the actions that they took led to a separate investigation into their handling of the case,” Ihlenfeld said in a news release. Lopez was re-elected to Clarksburg City Council in June. Goff did not immediately return a message left at his home. His attorney was in depositions and wasn’t immediately available. A telephone number for Smith wasn’t available. Both men are barred from ever working as police officers again. They agreed to cooperate with authorities in the investigation into the handling of the Lopez case, Ihlenfeld said. The prosecutor said it was unclear if other officials would face charges. Goff became chief in 2007 after 23 years with the department. He spent five years in the Anmoore Police Department before starting work in Clarksburg. Media outlets reported that the city named Lt. Robert Hillard as the interim police chief on Tuesday. City Manager Martin Howe did not immediately return telephone and email messages seeking comment. The federal case is separate from Lopez’s battery case, which is being handled by a special prosecuting attorney from Marion County. Kroger adds Harris Teeter to supermarket network NEW YORK (AP) — Kroger, already the country’s largest traditional supermarket operator, is expanding its reach in key southeastern and mid-Atlantic states by snapping up regional grocer Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc. The $2.44 billion cash deal reflects Kroger’s growth plans at a time when supermarkets are fighting competition from big-box retailers such as Target Corp. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., as well as drugstores and dollar stores that are expanding their food sections. Harris Teeter has 212 stores in eight states. That includes locations in Delaware, Florida, Maryland and Washington, D.C., where Kroger currently does not have a presence. Kroger says it doesn’t plan to close any stores as a result of the acquisition. But in the regions where there is some overlap, it may be asked by the Federal Trade Commission to sell stores to other operators to maintain a competitive landscape, said Mike Schlotman, Kroger’s chief financial officer. After Kroger’s last major purchase of Fred Meyer in 1999, he said the agency asked it to sell eight stores. Harris Teeter stores will keep their names and personalities, as with the nearly two dozen other regional chains owned by Kroger, including Ralphs in Southern California, Fred Meyer in the Pacific Northwest and Fry’s in Phoenix, the company said. “I don’t see a lot of change that we would make to Harris Teeter,” Schlotman said. “It already has a large fresh and prepared section — that’s one of the things they’re good at.” That focus on fresh and prepared foods is what makes the deal so attractive to Kroger. While they’re not on the level of Whole Foods supermarkets, Harris Teeter stores tend to be in more affluent neighborhoods and are more profitable because they have bigger fresh food sections. Kroger, meanwhile, has been expanding the ranks of its “Fresh Fare” stores, which have bigger sections for produce, meat, seafood and prepared foods. These categories tend to have higher profit margins than the rest of the store, Schlotman said. Notably, Harris Teeter also offers a “click and collect” service in about half its stores that lets people shop online then pick up their groceries curbside or at the front of the store. “It’s very popular in Europe, and now we get the chance to understand the process with someone that has it in place,” Schlotman said. Harris Teeter, along with Ralphs, will be one of Kroger’s largest chains by store count. Under the terms of the agreement, Kroger will pay $49.38 for each of Harris Teeter’s shares. The price represents a 2 percent increase over the company’s Monday closing stock price. The deal has been approved by both companies’ boards, but remains subject to Harris Teeter shareholder approval. Kroger, based in Cincinnati, operates 2,419 stores in 31 states. Its namesake stores account for more than half its stores. Of Harris Teeter’s 212 stores, 138 are in North Carolina, with 55 of those in the Charlotte area. Another 55 stores are in the Washington D.C., area. Its fiscal 2012 revenue totaled about $4.5 billion. Schlotman said the deal marks Kroger’s entry into several attractive, high-growth markets such as Charlotte, N.C., and Washington D.C. But he declined to say whether the company planned to eventually expand to all 50 states. “We don’t have a map of the U.S. with pins saying, ‘We’re going to here and we’ll never go there,’ ” he said. After the deal closes, Harris Teeter will become a Kroger subsidiary and will continue to be led by members of its current senior management. The division will remain based in Matthews, N.C. Dozens feared dead in Quebec oil-train derailment LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec (AP) — Blackened debris, twisted metal and gas leaks hampered rescue workers’ search for perhaps dozens of bodies Tuesday, three days after a runaway oil train smashed into this small lakeside town and incinerated homes, a library and a crowded bar. Thirteen people were confirmed dead and nearly 40 others were still missing in a catastrophe that raised questions about the safety of transporting oil by rail instead of pipeline. Investigators were zeroing in on whether a blaze on the same train a few hours before the disaster set off the deadly chain of events. Rescue workers labored to reach the bodies believed to be in the ruins. “Those sectors are ex- tremely complicated to investigate. There is debris. This is a very risky environment. We have to secure the safety of those working there. We have some hotspots on the scene. There is some gas,” Quebec Provincial Police Sergeant Benoit Richard said. He said recovery efforts had to be halted briefly Monday for health reasons, and some officers had to be removed from the scene. He did not elaborate. The bodies that have been recovered were burned so badly they have yet to be identified. The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train broke loose early Saturday, speeding downhill nearly seven miles (11 kilometers) and jumping the tracks at 63 mph (101 kph) in Lac-Megantic, near the Maine border, investigators said. All but one of the 73 cars were carrying oil. At least five exploded. The blasts destroyed about 30 buildings, including the Musi-Cafe, a popular bar that was filled at the time, and forced about a third of the town’s 6,000 residents from their homes. Much of the area where the bar stood was burned to the ground. Burned-out cars dotted the landscape. The same train caught fire hours earlier in a nearby town, and the engine was shut down — standard operating procedure dictated by the train’s owners, Nantes Fire Chief Patrick Lambert said. Edward Burkhardt, president and CEO of the railway’s parent company, Rail World Inc., suggested that shutting off the locomotive to put out the fire might have disabled the brakes. “An hour or so after the locomotive was shut down, the train rolled away,” he told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Lambert defended the fire department, saying that the blaze was extinguished within about 45 minutes and that’s when firefighters’ involvement ended. “The people from MMA told us, ‘That’s great — the train is secure, there’s no more fire, there’s nothing anymore, there’s no more danger,’” Lambert said. “We were given our leave, and we left.” Transportation Safety Board investigator Donald Ross said the locomotive’s black box has been recovered. “The extent to which (the fire) played into the sequences of events is a focal point of our investigation,” Ross said, but he cautioned that the investigation was still in its early stages. The accident has also thrown a spotlight on MMA’s safety record. Before the Lac-Megantic accident, the company had 34 derailments since 2003, five of them resulting in damage of more than $100,000, according to the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration. Burkhardt, however, said the figures were misleading. “They’re not applesto-apples figures. This is the only significant mainline derailment this company has had in the last 10 years. We’ve had, like most railroads, a number of smallish incidents, usually involving accidents in yard trackage and industry trackage,” he told CBC in a TV interview. Ross told The Associated Press that the tanker cars involved in the crash were the DOT-111 model. The DOT-111 is a staple of the American freight rail fleet whose flaws have been noted as far back as a 1991 safety study.

In some ways, Amish attitudes toward hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, are as different from the outside world as their clothes and traditions. Instead of worries about air and water pollution, they’re focusing on people’s souls. “Amish are no different than anybody else. The power of big money can bring spiritual corruption,” said Jerry Schlabach, an Amish resident of Berlin, Ohio. “If we can keep our values and adhere to biblical principle, then it can be a very positive thing,” he said. Reuben Troyer, who recently signed a drilling lease for his 140-acre farm just east of the market town of New Bedford, Ohio, said he feels comfortable with the process itself. “I guess I feel they know what they’re doing, and they’ll take care of themselves,” Troyer said. The stakes can be huge. While oil and gas wells have been common in parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania for more than 100 years, they typically didn’t lead to huge payments to landowners. But over the past few years, hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has led to bigger wells that can generate hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars in royalties for a property holder. During fracking, large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected underground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas. The process has led to a boom in energy production in many states, but also concerns about air and water pollution. Along the narrow bending roads of Amish country in Ohio and Pennsylvania, many families are sitting atop valuable deposits of oil and natural gas locked in the Utica and Marcellus Shale rock formations. They tend to view the wells as a part of life and look forward to the added income a lease can bring. Local leaders in Ohio say nearly every farmer in the region has an old oil well, so it was no surprise when energy companies came knocking to drill bigger, more lucrative shale wells. About 45 percent of the nation’s Amish population is concentrated in Ohio and Pennsylvania, with 63,000 in each state out of a total of 280,000 nationwide. The Amish trace their roots to the Protestant Reformation and restrict interactions with the modern world and technology. They dress plainly, don’t hold political office and are conscientious objectors during wars. Historian Donald B. Kraybill said that some Amish accept drilling partly because they “have a strong sense of God’s creation,” and that includes oil and natural gas. “If they can find ways to capitalize on the resources under the ground, they don’t see a problem with that,” he said. To the Amish, Schlabach said, “the world was created for the benefit of man. And nature, as we see it, is made to be used as long as it’s kept in proper perspective.” For Susan Mast, an Amish wife and mother, the issue hit close to home last summer, when an energy company purchased land adjacent to their quiet, well-manicured Ohio farm near the village of Baltic and began fracking. “It’s not as noisy as we thought it would be,” said Mast, who has seven chil- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

The well, on land owned by her parents, is in production now, but she said the drilling phase didn’t bother the youngsters. “They enjoyed watching what was going on,” she said. But there are some practical concerns about all the industrial activity that comes with the recent shale drilling. “I’m not excited about it, with all the traffic, with all the horses,” said Melvin Yoder, who owns a 58-acre farm in central Ohio. Kraybill noted that rules vary widely among Amish communities, but that there is “considerable concern” among church leaders that drilling money could create huge income disparities within the same community. The concerns over the effects of fracking extend to other energy sources, too. In New Wilmington, Pa., several Amish men and women said their community doesn’t permit solar panels, though some people are signing gas leases. Kraybill, co-author of the new book “The Amish,” said he wasn’t surprised to hear that traditional communities like New Wilmington have concerns over solar power since the Amish “are reticent to display things or have public displays of the technology” and are cautious about electricity. Sam Stoltzfus, an Amish farmer in Gordonville, Pa., said that there was some resistance at first to solar power there, but that it’s widely used now. On the issue of gas drilling leases, Stoltzfus said outsiders often overlook some important facts about the Amish lifestyle. “It doesn’t matter where you go in America, if a farmer doesn’t have some sort of subsidy, he is not going to be able to survive,” Stoltzfus said, adding that a gas drilling boom in Danville, about two hours north, helped the Amish communities there by generating considerable carpentry and repair work. Passengers in plane crashes today, such as the one in San Francisco involving Asiana Airlines Flight 214, are more likely to survive than in past disasters. Saturday’s crash was the latest where a big commercial airliner was destroyed but most passengers escaped with their lives. There were plenty of cuts, bruises and broken bones — and some more severe injuries — but only 2 of the 307 passengers and crew onboard died. Planes now are structurally sounder. In the cabin, stronger seats are less likely to move and crush passengers. Seat cushions and carpeting are fire retardant and doors are easier to open. Those improvements allow people to exit the plane more quickly. The nature of crashes has also changed. Improvements in cockpit technology mean that planes rarely crash into mountains or each other — accidents that are much more deadly. “Crashes are definitely more survivable today than they were a few decades ago,” said Kevin Hiatt, president and CEO of the Flight Safety Foundation, an industrybacked nonprofit group aimed at improving air safety. “We’ve learned from the past incidents about what can be improved.” Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the Asiana crash. But whatever the reason, it reflects the trend of fewer people dying in plane accidents. The odds weren’t always in passengers’ favor. From 1962 to 1981, 54 percent of people in plane crashes were killed. From 1982 to 2009, that figure improved to 39 percent, according to an Associated Press analysis of National Transportation Safety Board data. Those figures only include crashes with at least one fatality. There have been other serious crashes where everybody survived. The most famous was a US Airways flight in January 2009 that lost engine power after striking a flock of geese after taking off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Capt. Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger ditched the Airbus A320 in the Hudson River and all 155 people onboard survived. The crash was dubbed the “Miracle on the Hudson.” A British Airways flight in January 2008 crashed short of the runway at London’s Heathrow Airport. All 152 passengers and crew onboard the Boeing 777 — the same jet type as Saturday’s Asiana flight — survived. This April, a Boeing 737 flown by Indonesian airline Lion Air crashed into water short of a runway in Bali. The plane’s fuselage split into two sections but all 108 people on board survived. “What’s really important is for people to understand that airplane crashes, the Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

They include: — Stronger seats. Today’s airplane seats — and the bolts holding them into the floor — are designed to withstand forces up to 16 times that of gravity. That prevents rows of seats from pancaking together during a crash, crushing passengers. — Fire retardant materials. Carpeting and seat cushions are now made of materials that burn slower, spread flames slower and don’t give off noxious and dangerous gases. — Improved exits. Doors on planes are much simpler to open and easily swing out of the way, allowing passengers to quickly exit. And planes now come with rows of lights on the floor that change from white to red when an exit is reached. — Better training. Flight attendants at many airlines now train in full-size models of planes that fill with smoke during crash simulations. — Stronger planes. Aircraft engineers have looked at structural weaknesses from past crashes and reinforced those sections of the plane. Regulators started mandating such cabin improvements after two deadly aircraft fires in the 1980s. First, an Air Canada flight made an emergency landing at Cincinnati’s airport in 1983 after a fire broke out in the bathroom. The plane landed safely but half of the 46 passengers and crew died because they couldn’t quickly escape the smoke and fire. Two years later, a British Airtours aborted a takeoff in Manchester, England after an engine fire. Passengers evacuated but not fast enough. Of the 137 people onboard, 54 died after inhaling toxic smoke. “Those two accidents together were the two-by-four to the head” that led the U.S. and British governments to impose new fire-safety standards, said Bill Waldock, a professor of safety science at EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University’s Prescott, Ariz. campus. Saturday’s Asiana crash may have benefited from those changes. The Boeing 777 involved was manufactured in 2005 and contained all of the advances in safety. “It may have been worse if that fuselage had been designed with practices that were common 20 or 30 years prior,” said Todd Curtis, a former safety engineer with Boeing and now a director of the Airsafe.com Foundation. The emergency response also played a part in limiting the number of fatalities. Airport fire departments frequently hold drills where crews simulate a crash and practice coordinating with area hospitals on how to care for the injured.

Friends may call from 6-8 p.m. on joined the heartfelt statements of gratitude, thanking the public for donations to a fund set up to help the women. More than $1 million has been donated. Ruiz encouraged parents with missing loved ones to reach out for assistance. “Count on your neighbors,” she said. “Don’t be afraid to ask for the help because help is available.” The women have turned aside media interview requests and appealed again for privacy since they were rescued in May when Berry broke through a door and yelled to neighbors for help. The women had disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16, and 20 years old. The owner of the home where they were found, 52-year-old former bus driver Ariel Castro, was arrested and has pleaded not guilty to a 329-count indictment alleging he kidnapped them off the streets and held them captive in his two-story home. In the video, none of the women had any visible scars of the abuse they said they suffered. Castro fathered a 6-year-old daughter with Berry and is accused of starving and punching Knight, causing her to miscarry. “I am getting stronger each day,” Berry said. “Having my privacy has helped immensely.” The trio wants to maintain that privacy, according to a statement from the team of lawyers and crisis management experts helping them without charge. Castro’s trial is scheduled for next month but could be delayed if the defense asks for more preparation time. Last week a judge rejected Castro’s request to see Berry’s child fathered by him. Castro’s lawyers did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on the video and on whether they were concerned it might bias jurors. In the video, the women smiling and appeared upbeat. Berry, the only one who has been in photographs that have appeared publicly since her release, had shorter hair with a blonde streak in it. Knight, who authorities said had been taken captive first, wore glasses, had closely cropped hair and spoke a bit haltingly. Kathy Joseph, Knight’s attorney, said in a statement that the three women wanted to “say thank you to people from Cleveland and across the world, now that two months have passed.” She said they’re being recognized in public, “so they decided to put voices and faces to their heartfelt messages.” LAS VEGAS (AP) — Fire crews worked Tuesday to stop two large Nevada wildfires advancing through rugged mountain areas, including one that billowed smoke visible from downtown Las Vegas and another southwest of Reno, while administrators added resources and began looking to the weather to help contain flames. Fifty firefighters were added to the lines on the Carpenter 1 Fire on Mount Charleston northwest of Las Vegas, bringing to more than 800 the number of personnel battling a blaze identified as the top priority in the West, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Jay Nichols said. “We’ve got a fire running from 11,000 feet to about 5,000 feet,” Nichols said of the elevation of the blaze sparked by lightning July 1 and still just 15 percent contained eight days later. He said some of the increase in the fire size was due to backfires set to burn forest fuel and protect homes. The fire area of almost 31 square miles was nearly the size of Manhattan. It charred pinion, juniper and bristlecone pine forest in steep territory and crept to within about a mile about 400 homes in mountain hamlets. More than 500 residents and another 98 teenagers at a youth correctional camp remained evacuated since the weekend. State highways into the area are closed. “It’s dry,” Nichols said. “We’ve got torching trees and spotting fire. We’re being extremely careful and monitoring the safety of firefighters and the public.” Smoke from the fire behind the landmark peak created a brown haze that stretched northeast of this city of 2 million residents. The Clark County Department of Air Quality issued a health advisory that county spokesman Erik Pappa said would remain in effect through Sunday. In northern Nevada, the Bison fire grew Monday to 40 square miles in the Pine Nut Mountains near Gardnerville and Carson City. Fire spokeswoman Lisa Ross said one of the 720 firefighters on the lines suffered a knee injury as crews battled gusty winds, low humidity and temperatures in the 90s. Containment was reported at 25 percent. Douglas County commissioners declared a state of emergency to enable the county to seek more state and federal assistance. Fires were also burning across the West in California, where 100 mountain cabins were reported to have been destroyed in San Diego County, and in Alaska, Idaho and Arizona. Meanwhile, a memorial service was being held Tuesday in Prescott, Ariz., for 19 members of an elite Hotshot crew killed in a wildfire near Yarnell north of Phoenix. In Nevada, Nichols said 19 elite Hotshot crews and 44 engine companies were battling the Carpenter 1 Fire some 25 miles rating with Workers Compensation through early payments and reports, had earned a rebate of $18,677 on the $33,570 paid. Small holes in the pavement around the village were reported for repair. Recommendation for improvements at Dave Diles Park by Craig Wehrung included cutting brush so the river can be seen, fixing low places along the shelter house, and putting up signage regarding the use of bicycles and other vehicles in the park. Meeting with Council was a representative from optotraffic, a business which describes itself as a business providing “innovative traffic safety solutions.” The program, he said, is geared to “take the burden off local officers because the system is automated,” adding that the officers still stay very much involved with the program.

Women in Ohio kidnap case thank public for support CLEVELAND (AP) — Stylish and smiling, three women allegedly held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade offered thanks on YouTube for emotional and financial backing they’ve received since going “through hell and back.” From Amanda Berry, 27: “I want everyone to know how happy I am to be home, with my family, my friends,” she said. “I would say ‘thank you’ for the support,” said a soft-spoken Gina DeJesus, 23, in response to prompting from a narrator. And from Michelle Knight, 32, who wasn’t a familiar face on a milk carton around town like the other two, came a sometimes halting yet defiant reading of a statement. “I may have been through hell and back, but I am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face and with my head held high,” she said. “I will not let the situation define who I am. I will define the situation. I don’t want to be consumed by hatred.” The 3½-minute video, produced last week and posted at midnight Monday, was filmed in a Cleveland law firm overlooking treetops, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Lake Erie. DeJesus’ parents, Felix DeJesus and Nancy Ruiz, The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com Wednesday, July 10, 2013 northwest of Las Vegas. No injuries were reported in the fire that started July 1 on the west side of Mount Charleston near Pahrump and quickly spread east into rugged terrain reachable only on foot. The Federal Emergency Management Agency promised Monday to reimburse Nevada for 75 percent of the cost of fire suppression efforts, which federal Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman Hillerie Patton said Tuesday was approaching $5 million. Mount Charleston is a popular weekend getaway, where summer temperatures can be 15 to 20 degrees cooler than in Las Vegas, where temperatures topped 100 again on Tuesday. More than 400 homes in Trout, Kyle, Lee, Harris Springs and Lovell canyons were evacuated during the weekend, along with a Clark County-run youth correctional camp that houses 98 teenagers at a mountain elevation of almost 8,500 feet above sea level. State highways 156 and 157 were closed into the canyons, and evacuation shelters were set up. Crews were also working to protect about 100 non-residential structures including barns, sheds and corrals, Nichols said. Daytime high temperatures on the mountain were expected to decrease over the next few days after peaking at 90 degrees on Saturday with humidity levels in the single digits. Forecasts projected temperatures in the 70s with a chance of thundershowers over the next few days. Nichols noted that lightning could ignite more fires and storms could create unpredictable gusty winds. The 25,700-acre Bison Fire, straddling the Douglas and Lyon county lines in northern Nevada, charred an area about two-thirds the size of the city of Washington, D.C. It doubled in size Monday as it burned through tinder-dry brush, dead trees and pinion-juniper forests. The mountain range also stretches into Carson City. Back-country roads leading from the state capital into the mountains were closed due to the fire danger. No homes have been lost since the Bison blaze was ignited by lightning July 4, but officials said several old structures burned in the Slater Mine area. In other wildfires burning in the West: — In Arizona, more firefighters are being called in for a wildfire that has forced evacuation of 200 homes in Kearny, located 73 miles southeast of Phoenix. The fire has burned 300 acres of dense vegetation and one house. The fire started Monday. — In Southern California, a wildfire burned more than 100 cabins at a mountain camp east of San Diego, and officials Tuesday said it threatens 120 homes in the rural area. The 7.3-square-mile fire was 15 percent contained Tuesday. Proposal From Page 1 property damage. It was pointed out that the Independence Day activities are handled not by the village but the Middleport Community Association. Susan Baker, financial officer, reported that the village by maintaining a high equipment which records images showing how fast vehicles are traveling, cites the drivers who are then notified by mail, collects the funds, and then gives a portion to the village. He said they would start with one system, and then depending on the reaction from the public, add another system. Anyone found speeding would be automatically ticketed by the company. Following the presentation Council discussed the issue and on a motion from Wehrung voted unanimously against accepting the optotraffic proposal at this time. Charges From Page 1 $9,760, in insurance money from a female victim between December 2007 and January 2009. A plea hearing was later held in this case, and, after an inconsistency in the indictment and proposed written plea agreement was discovered by defense counselor Charles Knight and the State of Ohio, represented by Assistant Attorney General Melinda Kowalski, the defendant withdrew his proposed guilty plea. The state also later indicted its desire to dismiss the charge and re-indict the defendant at a later date. Then presiding Judge Fred W. Crow, III, who was assigned to the case after Judge D. Dean Evans recused himself, later overruled the state’s motion to dismiss the case. After an impending jury trial in this case was continued several times, Kowalski again requested the court dismiss the case in April 2011. This second request, however, was based upon the fact that the victim would lack the ability to testify due to medical reasons. The entry reads, “Based on her inability to testify, the State does not have sufficient evidence to proceed. Additionally, the State is aware of other incidents in which the defendant was involved in and is preparing to go to Grand Jury based on those events.” Judge Crow again denied the state’s motion for dismissal in this case; however, Crow later withdrew as trial judge in this matter due to medical reasons in an entry dated on May 3, 2011. The Ohio Supreme Court later assigned Paul Randall Knece, Judge of the Pickaway County Court of Common Pleas, to Lentes’ case, and, in a final entry filed in November 2011, Knece grants the state’s request to dismiss the case without prejudice. A new indictment was filed against Lentes on August 21, 2012, and signed by Assistant Attorney Generals Marianne Hemmeter and Jennifer Brumby, who are representing the State of Ohio in this matter. A summons was later filed for Lentes appearance. The defendant however, who was then living in Chesterfield, Mo., failed to appear for the scheduled arraignment on October 26, 2012, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Lentes was subsequently arrested on the warrant on indictment in St. Louis County, Mo., on June 26, 2013. He was later transported on July 3, by a Gallia County Sheriff’s Office deputy back to Gallia County to face the charges of the new indictment. During Monday’s hearing before Judge Jeffrey L. Simmons, judge by assignment, Lentes was present with his retained counsel, Charles Knight. Also present was David Henry, Special Prosecuting Attorney for Marianne Hemmeter. The defendant pleaded not guilty to two counts of forgery, both felonies of the fifth degree; one count of theft, a fifth degree felony; and one count of grand theft, a felony of the fourth degree. Lentes later posted a $1,000, bond for his own release from the Gallia County Jail. A jury trial in this case has been set forth for November 12, while a negotiated plea agreement may be filed by October 11 with the Gallia County Clerk of Courts.

Jeffrey Crews of suburban Dayton was in the stands July 2, the day Bailey pitched a no-hitter against San Francisco. Two days later, Crews died at home of brain cancer at 62. His wife, Colleen, said Tuesday her husband decided to spend his last weeks with family and friends rather than undergo treatment after getting a bleak prognosis last month. A family friend reached out to someone who knew Votto as Crews was making plans to go to the game with his wife, their three children and daughter-in-law. The result was field-level seats and field passes for batting practice for the whole family. The Reds’ star chatted, then suggested Crews pose for pictures with him. Votto gave him an autographed bat. “We’ve always been a fan of his and he didn’t have to do all that,” Colleen Crews said. “He just couldn’t have been more of a gentleman, very humble. Just so nice.” The family posted a photo of Crews and Votto on a blog they kept to chronicle his final days. Votto, voted by fans to be the National League starting AllStar first baseman, was in Mil- C.W.

Hernandez ‘argumentative’ with police ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was “argumentative” and slammed the door on police during their first encounter following his friend’s death, according to court records. He also called his girlfriend’s cellphone and stopped her from speaking with police after they pulled her over and told her the friend, Odin Lloyd, was dead. Hernandez was later accused of orchestrating Lloyd’s death in an industrial park near Hernandez’s home. According to an affidavit attached to search warrants unsealed Tuesday, Hernandez approached police after he noticed them parked outside his North Attleboro home on June 17, the day See HERNANDEZ ‌| 8 Chelios, Niedermayer top 2013 Hockey Hall class TORONTO (AP) — Defensemen Scott Niedermayer and Chris Chelios, along with forward Brendan Shanahan will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. They’ll be joined in the class of 2013 by Geraldine Heaney, the third woman to be enshrined in the hall, and coach Fred Shero, who led the Philadelphia Flyers to the Stanley Cup in 1974 and ‘75. He was selected posthumously in the builder category. “There’s no sense looking back as to why it didn’t happen sooner, because today’s a happy day to celebrate the fact that a guy that deserves it immensely has finally been elected to the Hall of Fame,” Flyers chairman Ed Snider said. Chelios and Niedermayer earned hockey’s biggest individual honor in their first year of eligibility. Shanahan was a teammate of Chelios’ in Detroit, and played with Niedermayer during the Olympics in 2002 when Canada won gold. “When you got to play with them, it was a thrill,” Shanahan said. “I spent some years playing with Cheli, and there’s not another guy that you would want to go into a tough situation looking out for you. “It absolutely makes it more special to go in with people I not only played against, but played with and got to know well.” The induction ceremony is scheduled for November. Niedermayer won four Stanley Cups in 17 full NHL seasons to go along with a Norris Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy. He played for the New Jersey Devils from 199192 through the 2003-04 season and finished his career in Anaheim in 2010. Chelios played 23 full seasons and parts of three more, taking part in his final NHL game at age 48. “I was part of an era, Chris was part of a few,” Niedermayer joked. Among the game’s best U.S.-born players, Chelios won the Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenseman three times. The Chicagoan split much of his career with three storied franchises in Montreal, Chicago and Detroit and was asked which team he will be affiliated when he is inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. “U.S.A.,” he said. Shanahan finished his career with 656 goals and 698 assists. He won three Stanley Cups with the Red Wings, an Olympic gold medal and was the quintessential scoring power winger of his era. Shanahan started his career with the Devils, went on to play in St. Louis, Hartford, Detroit and for the New York Rangers before ending his playing career back in New Jersey. Heaney was a defenseman on Canada’s gold-medal-winning team at the 2002 Olympics and is considered one of the best female players in history. “As a young girl playing hockey, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be going into the hall,” she said. waukee for the Reds’ Tuesday night game against the Brewers and wasn’t available immediately for comment. The family said in the blog that Reds manager Dusty Baker and infielder Todd Frazier had also come over for autographs and photos. The Crews family then settled into their seats to watch Bailey throw his second no-hitter. Collen said they learned later that their friends could see them on TV cheering in the stands. She said Crews, a lifelong fan who considered one of his personal sports highlights playing Dayton youth baseball against Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, was delighted. “It was such a blessing and unbelievable,” she said. A memorial service followed by a celebration of Crews’ life is planned for Wednesday in Centerville. Steven M. Falk | Philadelphia Daily News | MCT photo The Philadelphia 76ers’ Andrew Bynum sits on the bench watching his team play the Atlanta Hawks in the first quarter at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pa., Friday, Dec. 21, 2012. Bynum: Cavs waiting on another decision CLEVELAND (AP) — Andrew Bynum has a new team waiting for him. The enigmatic free-agent center, who didn’t play a single second for Philadelphia last season because of knee injuries, is mulling a twoyear offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Cleveland made the offer, which includes a team option in the second year, during his visit to the Cavs’ facility Monday. Bynum did not work out but the team examined him thoroughly. The person with knowledge of the negotiations spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks. Yahoo! Sports first reported Cleveland’s offer and said it was worth $24 million. The 25-year-old Bynum had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March, but the Cavs apparently are confident he will return to the form that made him one of the NBA’s best centers. They’re also counting on him thriving under Cleveland coach Mike Brown, who has returned to the Cavs after being fired three years ago. Brown and Bynum spent one season together with the Los Angeles Lakers and the 7-footer had his best year, averaging 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds. Over the past four seasons, Bynum has averaged 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds. Cleveland has competition in its pursuit of Bynum, who was scheduled to meet with the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday and is expected to visit Dallas on Wednesday. The Mavericks need a big man after losing out in the Dwight Howard sweepstakes. It’s not clear when Bynum will make his decision. The NBA’s freeagency moratorium period ends Wednesday. His agent, David Lee, did not immediately respond to a phone message. The Cavs have already landed forward Earl Clark and guard Jarrett Jack in free agency and are looking to move up quickly. They would immediately vault into contention in the Eastern Conference with a healthy Bynum paired with All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and a roster that includes forward Tristan Thompson, guard Dion Waiters and forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in last month’s draft. The Sixers acquired Bynum last summer from the Lakers as part of a four-team trade. Bynum, who made $16.9 million despite not playing last season, never got healthy enough to get on the floor with the Sixers. The Cavs would be taking a risk with Bynum that could have huge rewards. He would instantly raise their profile and probably get them back to the playoffs after winning just 66 games combined the past three seasons. In giving him only a two-year deal, they would not be tying up much money which would allow them to stay flexible next summer when several top-tier free agents — possibly LeBron James — will be on the market.

(AP) — Posts on a gossip website that a former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader is suing for defamation were so devastating that she once considered suicide and wants to keep other people from being hurt the same way, she testified Tuesday. Sarah Jones told jurors in her lawsuit retrial in Covington, Ky., that the posts were false and malicious and that the website operator “hurts people every day.” “He has gained financially off of my downfall,” she said of Nik Richie, operator of thedirty.com website. Jones is suing Richie and the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based website for damages over two 2009 posts. One alleged she had sex with every Bengals player, and the other said she probably had two sexually transmitted diseases. The latest trial began Monday after a trial in January resulted in a hung jury. Jones cried at times Tuesday when saying she had once thought about ways to commit suicide. She also described how hurtful and damaging the posts were to her life. The posts were unrelated to the former high school teacher’s guilty plea last year to charges she had sex with an underage ex-student, and Jones’ attorney has stressed that they are only seeking damages up to Feb. 1, 2011. From Page 6 He urged jurors not to consider her actions after that. Jones, 28, still has a relationship with the student, who is now 18. They have said they plan to marry. After pleading guilty last year in the criminal case, Jones was allowed to avoid jail time but forbidden from teaching again. Richie’s attorney, David Gingras, questioned her again about lies she acknowledges she told about her relationship with the student. He again asked her about a reality show that she reportedly was considering. Jones denied she has ever considered that. “It’s not even in the realm of possibility,” she said. Gingras has said that the case is about Jones’ character and that the lies she has acknowledged about her relationship with the ex-student and her felony conviction are relevant to her credibility. Jones’ attorney, Eric Deters, called Richie to the stand later Tuesday. The website operator testified that he had no malice toward Jones and that he apologized to her in an email for any pain she had suffered. But Richie also said that he is not required to fact-check submissions before posting them. He acknowledged that he does screen submissions before posting them, but he said the posts are anonymous. Lloyd’s body was found. Police said they asked him about an SUV he had rented. Hernandez told them he rented it for Lloyd and had last seen him in Boston the day before, the documents said. The affidavit then said Hernandez became argumentative, asked “what’s with all the questions?” and locked the door of his house behind him. He then returned with his attorney’s business card, and didn’t respond when police told him they were investigating a death. “Mr. Hernandez slammed the door and relocked it behind him,” the records read. “Mr. Hernandez did not ask officers whose death was being investigated. Mr. Hernandez’s demeanor did not indicate any concern for the death of any person.” Hernandez came out about 10 minutes later and agreed to be questioned at a police station, according to the documents. Hernandez is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder in the killing of Lloyd, whose bullet-ridden body was found in an industrial area near Hernandez’s North Attleborough home. His attorneys have said the evidence against him is circumstantial and that Hernandez is anxious to clear his name. Eight search warrants were unsealed Tuesday after news organizations sought access to the records. The search warrants reveal the breadth of the investigation, with authorities scouring through everything from Hernandez’s house to the contents of his team locker, which the Patriots had emptied into a container. Among the items police seized were a rifle and ammunition found in Hernandez’s home. The records also detailed a discussion police had with Hernandez’s girlfriend, Shayanna Jenkins, after she dropped him off at the police station. Police said they pulled her over and she immediately burst into tears when she heard Lloyd was dead. She later told them she had last seen him two days earlier, according to the documents. She also said she had been out to a Father’s Day dinner with Hernandez on June 16, but they returned home early and she went to bed. She said Hernandez was away that night and she didn’t know who he was with. The records said Jenkins then received a call from Hernandez, who told her his agent had advised him to tell her not to speak to police. The documents also offer some details about June 14, the Friday before the shooting, when prosecutors say Hernandez and Lloyd went to a Boston nightclub, Rumor. Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd’s shooting because he was upset at him for talking to certain people at the club. One witness who works in the area near Rumor told police he saw Hernandez entering the club with what appeared to be a handgun, the documents said. And Lloyd’s girlfriend said Lloyd told her he was out with Hernandez that night and they didn’t come home because they’d gotten drunk and slept elsewhere, according to the records. Also Tuesday, a man who faces a gun charge in the case agreed to remain in jail until a hearing next month. Carlos Ortiz, 27, appeared in Attleboro District Court, where a hearing to determine if he is a danger to the community was scheduled for Aug. 14. If Ortiz is determined to be dangerous, he can be held without bail for 90 days. urday, July 20, at the Riverside Golf Club in Mason County.

You are in the first year of a new 12-year luck cycle. This is an excellent year for new beginnings. You are capable of starting projects and/or ideas that you normally would feel are impossible. If you are single, a relationship could be full of surprises. Make sure that you are ready for this. If you are attached, your bond will develop an exciting, dynamic undertone if you remain sensitive to your significant other. Guard against being too me-oriented. LEO can be quite self-centered. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might seem to be surprisingly different somehow, according to a friend. Lately, you have become more willing to talk about personal matters, which allows for greater intimacy. Express compassion to a child or loved one, as he or she needs it. Tonight: Paint the town red. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could be more secure if you relaxed a bit and worked through a situation that is going on within your immediate environment. You suddenly might gain a new insight during the day, which will explain a lot. Answers come forward. Tonight: Do something special for a loved one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You have a way about you that attracts many people. You might be surprised by a dear friend’s spontaneity. You would never have expected what happens. Lighten up a conversation, and share more of your day-to-day life. Tonight: Join friends at a favorite spot! CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be surprised by what someone says or does. Be aware of how much you have to offer. Make a point of listening to your inner voice; know what your limits are and what you want to express. Do not back yourself into a corner. Tonight: Shop on the way home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You unexpectedly could beam in what you desire and surprise yourself. Express your caring, especially as it is obvious and you can’t deny the strength of your feelings. Be willing to put yourself on the line when dealing with a friend or loved one. Tonight: All smiles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH A partner could surprise you with his or her reaction to what you are doing. You might need to pull back more in order to see why a certain situation is developing. Remain upbeat. Someone who usually is closed off will show a willingness to talk. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You’ll wonder about someone’s surprising appearance or unexpected availability. Do not assume that this person’s action or stance is a because of a change of perspective. Make the most of this special moment. Tonight: Only what you want, and only with the company you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might be far too involved with a situation. Be more aware of your image and chosen direction. You know exactly what you want and why. Do not back off, but do observe others’ responses. You might want to rethink your position. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You can’t go wrong with spontaneity. You might wonder which way to go, and might overthink the issue as a result. Impulsiveness is favored. You could hear some surprising news from a loved one and feel delighted. Tonight: Detach rather than get triggered. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Deal with a partner directly. Know that you might need to revise your thinking as a result of this conversation. You will get a better understanding of what someone might be thinking. Working closely with one person promises better results. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You experience events and see people differently from how the majority of others do. That is one of your strengths. Do not feel as if you have to prove yourself.

(AP) — Jimmie Johnson became the first driver in 31 years to sweep Daytona International Speedway, accomplishing the feat with a dominating run Saturday night for his fourth win of the season. The Daytona 500 winner is the first driver since Bobby Allison in 1982, and the fifth overall, to win both races in a season at Daytona. “I don’t think I made a bad move tonight. I’m pretty proud of that,” Johnson said. “Gosh, growing up in Southern California and watching Bobby Allison … to do anything Bobby has done is pretty special.” The five-time NASCAR champion was the leader on the restart for a two-lap sprint to the finish in overtime Saturday night. He held off Kevin Harvick on the restart, and then pulled out front to a sizeable lead. Tony Stewart moved into second and may have been timing his attempt to make a pass for the lead when a caution in the middle of the pack froze the field. “We knew it was coming,” Johnson said of the late accident. “Getting down to the end of these things, we knew it was going to get exciting.” Stewart was second, followed by Kevin Harvick in a Chevrolet sweep. Both thought Johnson’s fast car, once able to get out front, was untouchable. He led 94 of the 161 laps. “These things are such a crapshoot … all 43 guys have a shot at winning the race,” Stewart said. “They definitely had a fast car. I mean, they had a fast car at the 500, they had a fast car here, so it makes sense.” Harvick thought the outcome would have been different if anyone had been able to get a push past Johnson. “I think we could have done the same thing in clean air,” Harvick said. “I think the front car is in a lot better control.” Clint Bowyer was fourth and team co-owner Michael Waltrip fifth in a pair of Toyotas. Then came Kurt Busch, Jamie McMurray and Dale Earnhardt Jr. as Chevrolets took six of the top eight spots and seven of the top 10. Casey Mears was ninth in a Ford, followed by Ryan Newman. The race was stopped for almost nine minutes for a six-car accident with 11 laps remaining that included yet another vicious hit for Denny Hamlin. Hamlin’s car inexplicably turned right and spun hard into the frontstretch wall. It then turned back into traffic and Hamlin was tagged hard by AJ Allmendinger in a hit that caused his car to lift off the ground. Both he and Allmendinger had to collect themselves after climbing from their wrecked cars, but both were evaluated and released from the infield care center. Hamlin missed four races earlier this season with a compression fracture in a vertebra in his lower back, and took a hard hit last Sunday at Kentucky. He tested Monday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but had to be evaluated by a doctor on site before he got in the car. Also involved in the late accident with Hamlin and Allmendinger were Matt Kenseth, Hamlin’s Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, and Jeff Gordon. “I saw the wreck and tried to slow down and miss it, but just not much I could do,” Kenseth said. The race resumed with seven laps remaining and Johnson leading teammate Kasey Kahne. Johnson then made a strange move to the high line to block Marcos Ambrose and it might have cost him the race as it put Kahne out Brandon Wade | Fort Worth Star-Telegram | MCT photo Jimmie Johnson celebrates winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup, AAA Texas 500 on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012. front in the bottom lane of traffic. AP Sports Briefs Fan requests Browns players as pallbearers CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns are giving a jersey to the family of a fan who asked for six players to serve as pallbearers at his funeral. Scott E. Entsminger, 55, of Mansfield, Ohio, died on July 4 at his home. In his obituary in the Columbus Dispatch, Entsminger, a lifelong Browns fan, requested “six Cleveland Browns pallbearers so the Browns can let him down one last time.” Browns spokesman Zak Gilbert said Monday that the team contacted Entsminger’s widow, Pat, and found out that his favorite player was Hall of Famer Lou Groza. The team will present a Groza No. 76 jersey with Entsminger’s name on the back to the family Tuesday Entsminger’s obituary also said he “wrote a song each year and sent it to the Cleveland Browns as well as offering other advice on how to run the team.” Haslam plans to own the Browns for a long time NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A spokesman for Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam says Haslam has no plans to sell the franchise despite legal troubles with the company he runs. FBI agents say transcripts of secretly recorded calls among Pilot Flying J employees reveal a scheme to defraud trucking companies of fuel rebates, and five members of the sales staff at the nation’s largest diesel retailer have pleaded guilty to fraud. Haslam has said he was unaware of the scheme. In a story published Sunday on the ESPN Cleveland website, Haslam said he intends to own the Browns “for a long time.” And in a statement issued Monday, Pilot Flying J spokesman Tom Ingram said, “We expect no change in Mr. Haslam’s relationship with the NFL and/or his ownership of the Browns.” Kerns among 7 ex-champs in Ohio Amateur field CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Seven past winners, including defending champion Nathan Kerns, begin to play Tuesday in the opening round of the 107th Ohio Amateur golf championship at Brookside Country Club. The past three champions will be in the field, a rarity since recent winners have turned pro soon after their victory. Kerns, a 22-year-old former Marshall player from Ironton, won a year ago in suburban Columbus. Xavier player Korey Ward won in 2011 at NCR Country Club in Dayton, and Michael Bernard, a rising sophomore at Ohio State, was the youngest Ohio Amateur winner ever when he topped the field at Kirtland Country Club in 2010 at the age of 16. The 72-hole, medal-play event ends Friday. Weidman beats Silva to win UFC middleweight title LAS VEGAS (AP) — Chris Weidman stopped Anderson Silva in the second round of their UFC middleweight title fight on Saturday night, ending the champion’s long stay on top of the division. Weidman landed a short left hook that sent Silva to the canvas, and then pounced on the ultimate fighting star, landing a few more shots before referee Herb Dean stopped the bout at 1:18. Weidman ended Silva’s 17-fight win streak and nearly 7-year reign as champion while improving to 10-0. Silva dropped to 33-5. In the co-main event in front of a capacity crowd at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar outwrestled and outstruck Charles Oliveira to get the win by unanimous decision. On the undercard, Cub Swanson stopped Dennis Siver with a third-round TKO. Police: Lawrence Taylor’s son charged with rape POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) — Police in suburban Atlanta say a man who identified himself as the son of NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor has been arrested on rape charges. Powder Springs police said Monday that 31-yearold Lawrence Taylor Jr. is accused of having sex with two underage girls. Police say one girl accused Taylor of sexually assaulting her July 6, and that another accused him of having consensual sex with her last year. The elder Taylor, 54, was a linebacker for the New York Giants between 1981 and 1993 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999. Taylor was sentenced last year to six years of probation after pleading guilty to charges stemming from sex with an underage prostitute. Taylor, Jr., is being held without bond on statutory rape, aggravated child molestation and aggravated sodomy charges. It’s unclear if he has an attorney. Daly withdraws from British Open with elbow injury John Daly withdrew from the British Open on Monday because he will have surgery on his right elbow this week that will end his PGA Tour season. Daly said he first noticed something wrong with his right elbow at the Byron Nelson Championship in May, and tests revealed a torn tendon. He said doctors told him he could try to play as long as he didn’t hit a rock or a tree root. “And that’s what happened on the 12th hole Friday at Greenbrier,” Daly said. “I was just trying to chip out and there was a root under the ball. It wasn’t more than 50- yard chip shot. But that’s the pain I’ve been dealing with.” He was replaced in the British Open by Stephen Gallacher of Scotland. The Open is July 18-21 at Muirfield. Daly says he is scheduled for surgery Thursday morning. He said doctors told him he could start rehabilitation in early September, and if everything went well, he could return to golf in the late fall. This will be the first time Daly, 47, has missed the British Open since 1999 at Carnoustie. The surgery means he will not play in the only two majors for which Daly is eligible — the British Open and the PGA Championship as a past champion of both. Daly won the 1991 PGA at Crooked Stick as the ninth alternate, and he won the Open in 1995 at St. Andrews in a playoff over Costantino Rocca. “I hate missing the British Open, especially at Muirfield. It’s one of the best on the planet,” Daly said. AP source: Lions, Stafford agree to $53M extension DETROIT (AP) — A person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press that the Detroit Lions have agreed to terms on a $53 million, threeyear contract extension with Matthew Stafford. The person, who spoke Tuesday on the condition of anonymity because the agreement has not been announced, says Stafford will make $41.5 million in guarantees as part of a deal that keep him under contract through the 2017 season. Detroit drafted Stafford No. 1 overall in 2009 and signed him to a six-year contract worth as much as $78 million with $41.7 million in guarantees. After two injuryshortened seasons, he helped the franchise reach the playoffs two years ago for the first time in more than a decade. Celebrities try to buck odds at poker world series LAS VEGAS (AP) — Each summer, actors and athletes who are stars in their own right compete alongside professional gamblers and wannabes for the world’s biggest poker prize. This week, sitcom star Ray Romano and comedian Kevin Pollak are among the glitterati donning caps and ear buds at the World Series of Poker at the Rio hotel-casino off the Las Vegas Strip. The $10,000 buy-in, no-limit Texas Hold ‘em main event started Saturday and runs through July 15, when the field will be cut to a final nine. Play then pauses until November, when competition at the final table airs live on ESPN. Entries are slightly down this year, with 6,352 players from 83 nations anteing up. The winner takes home $8.4 million and a gold-diamond-drenched bracelet — the Super Bowl ring of gambling. Players trickled in Tuesday for the 44th annual main event dressed in tracksuits and T-shirts, sporting baseball caps and looking bleary-eyed in the oppressive afternoon sun. Inside, they played in silence at closely clustered tables, where game-day cologne scented the air. Women constitute about 5 percent of entrants. The tournament comes a decade after a 27-year-old amateur with the fortuitous name Chris Moneymaker claimed the grand prize. On Monday, World Series of Poker officials presented Moneymaker with a bronze bust commemorating the moment in 2003 when he bluffed the best players in the world. After that, every poker player with a pair of mirrored sunglasses thought they could take on the pros, and the popularity of the annual marathon event exploded. Professionals quickly point out that novices can pose a bigger danger than expected because they play unpredictably, and there is little room in the live tournament to learn their style. Steve Lillenhaug, 43, was hoping his relatively untested style of play helps him face down poker legend Doyle Brunson, who showed up Tuesday wearing a blue button down shirt and his signature white cowboy hat. Lillenhaug, who has been playing poker for five years, downed two screwdrivers at the hotel bar as soon as he heard he would be playing at the same table as the 79-year-old master. “I’m probably the most nervous person you’ve ever seen,” Lillenhaug said in a flat Minnesota accent. “But then again, he’s just another guy with chips and cards and a seat. Win or lose, it will be a great story.” Poker’s popularity began to fade a bit in 2007 when the federal government started cracking down on the semilegal world of online wagers. Now, thanks to a new interpretation of federal law, online poker is returning state by state, starting in Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware. The World Series of Poker brand is getting in on the action with its own real money website that could debut before the conclusion of the main event. Celebrities continue to flock to the poker marathon in the desert, albeit in smaller numbers, and their presence is a boon to marketers and sponsors. But an early exit can beg the question of whether they are just here for fun and a quick TV sound bite or willing to grind it out through hours of play. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
