REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — The new Ohio Senator for the 20th District said Wednesday he is ready to “hit the ground running.” Troy Balderson, RZanesville, was appointed Tuesday to replace former Senator Jimmy Stewart, RAlbany, who has taken a position in the private sector. Balderson was one of five, including Meigs County Commissioner Michael Bartrum, to apply for the Senate seat. Balderson was sworn in yesterday on the floor of the Ohio Senate Chamber, after the Senate Republican Caucus voted on his appointment. Balderson was in his second term in the Ohio House of Representatives, representing the 94th House District, made up of Coshocton and part of Muskingum counties. Balderson attended Muskingum College and The Ohio State University. He is co-owner of Balderson Motor Sales—a three-generation family business—and assists in the operation of a familyowned farm. Representative Balderson lives in Zanesville with his wife Angie and their son Ohio State Parks offer course on fishing basics for youth T. B.

WEATHER Forked Run State Park hosts kids from Ohio,W.Va. – even Texas BY STEPHANIE FILSON REEDSVILLE — Just because it is the Ohio Division of Wildlife who sponsors the Passport to Fishing program in Ohio State Parks doesn’t mean that only Ohio kids are eligible to benefit. Forked Run State Park, in Reedsville, Ohio, hosts the statewide program at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and Dee Kimes, a naturalist with the park, says the class is often full of kids from all over the region — sometimes even from faraway states. The Passport to Fishing program is designed to teach young people up to age 18 the basics of fishing, such as casting, tying knots and identifying fish species. At the end of the course, participants receive a Shakespeare rod and reel, courtesy of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Ohio Division of Wildlife. “It’s a wonderful job to have,” said Kimes, who has worked in the field for nearly 17 years. “The kids get such a thrill when they come here, take this fishing class and get a rod and reel of their own to keep.” In the past, area schools like Eastern Elementary have traveled to Forked Run to take part in the program, noting the science lesson embedded in the activities.

Submitted photo MARIETTA – "Get your hands off our energy" was the theme of a recent energy panel discussion held in Marietta and attended by many Meigs County residents. The discussion was held with representatives from various aspects of industries that produce coal, oil and gas weighing in on the issues. The panel discussion was held in response to American Electric Power's request of the Public Utilities Commission to increase rates and taxes or riders on customer's electric bills. This increase, if passed, wIll take effect Jan. 1, 2012. It came out in the discussion that the rate increase is expected to raise electric bills 17 to 20 percent, not including the riders increase. While Ohio electric customers can shop for providers of electric for better rates presently, if the riders are approved, they are nonpassable which means they will be charged regardless of provider. Sam Randazzo an attorney with McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC, has been working to protect consumers for decades in Ohio. His goal is to see affordable energy available to all Ohioans through education and legislative means. He spoke at the panel discussion about the dramatic increase southeast Ohio is being expected to pay if this increase passes the PUCO. He noted the increase is not for customers in other parts of the state. Rates have increased 73 percent for customers in our area since 2006, Randanzzo said. Rates for customers on Kentucky Power and Appalachian Power (which are also owned by AEP) are lower than those in Columbus Southern area.

Events will kickoff Saturday morning with an opening ceremony at 10 a.m. followed by a Civil War workshop for youth in the Courthouse, judging of the pies to select the best from the rest, cornhole tournaments with prizes for the youth and a payback of entry fees for adult winners, judging of pets, and the selection of Meigs County’s finest, the oldest woman and the oldest man attending the celebration. For those participating in the pie contest, two fruit pies are to be taken to the kitchen/dining area in the Academy basement where judging will take place for prizes of $25 for first, $20 for second, and $15 for third. The pies will then be auctioned off at 4 p.m. in the tent on the Commons with proceeds to go into the maintenance and operation of the Courthouse. Gospel music will fill the Commons area from before noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday but this year no Sunday services are planned. Other afternoon State News Ohio will not appeal judge's delay of execution Ohio lawmakers axe online voter registration plan COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio won't challenge a court-ordered delay of a convicted murderer's lethal injection, likely opening the way for the inmate to argue the state violates the U.S. Constitution with uneven application of its execution rules. Attorney general's spokesman Dan Tierney said Wednesday the office will not appeal the temporary restraining order granted Kenneth Smith by U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost. Smith had been scheduled to die next week for the slaying of a husband and wife in their Hamilton home during a 1995 robbery. Smith and other inmates argue that Ohio often strays from execution policies by not always having the required number of execution team members and not always documenting mixing the drugs. Frost on Friday agreed, calling four areas where the state strayed from its policies an embarrassment that created a "haphazard application" of its death penalty protocols. Smith's attorney, Carol Wright, said her client was "thrilled" with the state's decision against an appeal. She said the defense team will prepare for an Oct. 31 trial before Frost while also waiting to hear the state's next move. "We are hopeful that Kenny Smith as well as the other death row inmates who are challenging this will get a chance to argue their claims in a trial," said Wright, an assistant federal public defender. The state does not believe its implementation of lethal injection sentences violates the constitution, said state prisons spokesman Carlo LoParo. "However, we will use Judge Frost's decision as an opportunity to improve our procedures and practices in preparation for carrying out future lethal injection sentences," he said. Smith, 45, was convicted of cutting Lewis Ray's throat on May 12, 1995, and his brother, Randy Smith, was convicted of strangling the man's wife, Ruth Ray. Court documents say Kenneth Smith boasted about kicking the woman in the head to make sure she was dead. LoParo said Smith remains on death row and that the state Supreme Court would be responsible for setting a new execution date. Randy Smith is serving a sentence of 30 years to life. COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Legislature approved a bill Wednesday that would do away with parts of a new law that allow Ohioans to register to vote and update their addresses online. Those provisions are included in an elections overhaul law that Gov. John Kasich signed almost two weeks ago. The law requires voters to give their full Social Security number when casting a provisional ballot. It also requires them to provide their full ninedigit number when registering to vote, if they choose to use their Social Security number as a way to identify themselves. The bill repeals the online provisions and the full Social Security requirements. They are key parts of the election overhaul measure and had been pushed by Secretary of State Jon Husted. The legislation allows members of the military and Ohioans overseas apply for and receive absentee ballots by e-mail or online. It would also require voters to print their names on the envelope of their absentee ballots to have their vote counted. The legislation goes to Kasich for his signature. State Sen. Kris Jordan said the online provisions in the election overhaul were removed because members in the House and some in the Senate had concerns about them. Jordan, R-Powell, didn't cite any specific concerns. But in previous debate over the overhaul measure, some lawmakers had raised questions about whether voters' Social Security numbers and information exchanged online would be protected. Jordan told his colleagues on the Senate floor that because of the urgency to get the overhaul law passed and implemented before the Nov. 8 election, lawmakers didn't have a chance to work out their problems with the online provisions and the Social Security number requirements. "That being said, we're going to go ahead and pull those measures out and possibly discuss those in the future," Jordan said. The move to get rid of the provisions comes as both Republican-led chambers of the state Legislature have been negotiating over whether to pass a requirement that voters show photo identification at the polls to cast a ballot. activities will be a Civil War ladies tea with Jean Hilton “Miz Rosebud” and Peggy Crane in costume hosting the event. Always a highlight of the day is the harmonica contest where prizes of $200 for first, $100 for second, $50 for third, and $25 for fourth will be awarded. The winner will walk away with the title of the Ohio’s 2011 Harmonica Champion. After the contest which will be held under a tent on the Commons there will be a harmonica jam session running right up to the time the Chautauqua program begins. And after that the traditional Civil War ball will be held to close out the 2011 Chester Shade Day celebration.

John Kasich (KAY’-sik). The Senate passed the bill 22-7 on the same day it emerged from the Senate Health Committee. The Ohio House passed the bill last month. The measure prohibits an abortion after 20 weeks if a doctor finds the fetus to be viable. Exceptions would be made to save the mother’s life, but not in cases of rape or incest or for mental health reasons. The bill adjusts a state law found unconstitutional in 1997. Kasich has not said whether he will sign the measure. Spokesman Rob Nichols said the governor is anti-abortion and needs to review the bill. Report says climate change harms Great Lakes parks TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — A report written by a retired federal official who previously oversaw national parks says five parks in the Great Lakes region are showing ill effects from climate change, including shoreline erosion and decline of some wildlife. Stephen Saunders is ex-deputy assistant secretary of the Interior Department. He says if trends continue, summers at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore could become as hot late this century as those in Gainesville, Fla., today. He says a continuing loss of winter ice cover will lead to greater loss of shoreline from storms and even the prized dunes at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan are vulnerable. Wolves and moose at Isle Royale National Park are down. The report was released Wednesday by the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Ohio will not appeal judgeʼs delay of execution COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state won’t challenge an order delaying an Ohio killer’s lethal injection over what a federal judge says is haphazard enforcement of execution policies.

Smith could now be allowed to argue at trial that the state violates the federal constitution.

Teen suicide is very upsetting to mom BY DR. JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: My 15-month-old baby is as cute as can be. The problem is, she is so easily infected by everything that is going around at day care that we spend most of the time just trying to get her well. I have lots of things I want to do with her, but so far it has been just trying to get her well enough to go to day care so I can go to my job. Is there anything I can do about my mental health? It seems I am always worrying about my baby and we don't have any fun at all. — G.L. Dear G.L.: Nobody said parenting would be easy, but by the same token, it needn't and shouldn't be all stress and worry, either. The fact that you feel you are not having any of the "fun" part should be a big, red flag waving at you — and you should consider being evaluated for postpartum depression before things get even worse. You probably can find many resources close at hand that are meant for new mothers — and they don't have to be medical ones. Even joining a baby-and-mom group for weekly meetings probably will help your mood, as you will be exposed to other mothers who are going through very similar circumstances and feelings. Other mothers can be a wealth of information and comfort. Since day care seems Dr. Joyce Brothers to be one big pool of germs, consider having a baby sitter come into your home instead of taking your baby to a group setting every day. She needs a chance to recover from all her illnesses, and as she does, you will find the fun starting again. If you can't manage to get a baby sitter, at least consider changing day-care providers, focusing on the healthfulness of the setting. It could be that the place you are going to now is too crowded or unsanitary. You need to be proactive, solve this and start enjoying your baby again. Dear Dr. Brothers: I consider myself a pretty tough cookie, but there is one subject I just can't stand to hear or read about, and that is teen suicide. It seems as though as a parent, there is nothing worse you could ever experience. I look at my two little kids, 3 and 5, and can't imagine how badly I could fail them to make them want to kill themselves. Have you got any tips for parents who want their kids to never be in danger of threaten- ing suicide? — C.S. Dear C.S.: Pretty much every parent is upset by talk of teen suicide, and many can't imagine how they would go on if such a thing were to happen. We all like to think that we are sensitive to and aware of our children's feelings and problems, and that we will be there for them to help them through the rough spots. Surely our child would never become so desperate over something in their lives — or in their head — that we would miss all the signs and not be there for him until it was too late. Being different is always difficult. And gay students and bullied kids are more likely to attempt suicide. But they are not alone. So we obsess about whether our child is really OK, or just putting on a show for us while he is planning his early demise. Most of these fears are irrational, as suicide is still an uncommon event for the average family. A new study from Columbia University involving nearly 32,000 found that the community has some influence on whether gay and straight teens commit suicide. Areas in which there are active groups promoting acceptance and anti-bullying behavior toward gay students were found to be healthier environments for both gay and straight kids. So to ease your mind, see if you can become active in promoting tolerance.

The county Workforce Development Agency in Toledo notified four staff members on Tuesday that they’ll be laid off as of Aug. 19. The Blade newspaper reports the office is dealing with a sharp reduction in funding. The agency received $3.86 million through the state this budget year, compared with roughly $7 million in fiscal year 2009. Ohio Department of Job and Family Services spokesman Ben Johnson says the money is part of federal Workforce Investment Act funding disbursed by the state.

It was more than 20 years ago. I was on the couch, making a shopping list, holding my baby, who almost always had an ear infection, and pretending I wasn’t starting to come down with yet another bout of strep throat. That’s when the one person I definitely did not want to see came over. In walked Debbie, the “natural” fanatic. I was in no mood to get a sermon about how everybody in my family was getting sick so often because I was doing everything wrong. I tried to sit up and look perky, but I shouldn’t have even wasted the little energy I had left. There was no fooling Debbie. She was adept at spotting all things phony. Debbie knew I was getting sick again, and I think she also must have known that I was getting sick of her standard sermons. She had a different tactic this time. It was just one innocent question. “When was the last time you ate an apple?” she asked. I was relieved. “Apples? We’ve got plenty! Just check my fridge. My kids eat them all the time.” “That’s not what I asked,” she said, not even smiling. “I asked when was the last time you ate an apple. I’m not asking for a lot. Just one simple, unadulterated apple. Think about it. Do you enjoy getting sick so often? Why not try something you could enjoy a lot more?” And she was out the door. I sat there fuming. But years later I found out she was a true friend. I can still remember the taste of that first apple I bit into ... years after our conversation. It wasn’t as boring as I thought it would be. It tasted weird at first. Weird to be eating something so basic. Then juicy. Then delicious. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is something I had heard many times, but I never understood its many ramifications. It’s not just about apples. It goes for bananas as well. And peaches and oranges. Strawberries, cantaloupe — even kiwis! It goes for the infinite number of gifts God has personally packaged for us. Individually packaging each one, no less! They are all designed to help us stay well. And what do we do with His gifts? Pass right by them, and head straight for the peach ice cream for us, and the strawberry “fruit” bars for our children. We all too often prefer the stuff that’s been taken out of its original packaging, processed until it’s just about unrecognizable, thrown in with a few additives here, some preservatives there, artificial coloring all over the place, and voila — we By putting our physical selves in tune with our spiritual selves — the way they were meant to be — we can spend a lot less time in the kitchen trying to “fix up” what God has already made wonderful.

We need to re-learn what we once knew — how to appreciate life’s simple and genuine joys. Sure, man cannot live on fruit alone — but there isn’t a better way to start the day than by having a breakfast of fruit. Then, for the rest of the day, if we make some small effort to eat food that’s still packed with divine sparks of God’s loving kindness toward us — so much the better. We don’t have to banish all the so-called “goodies” from our shelves. But every effort made in this direction can help draw us closer to God, leaving less of the distracting (and debilitating) fluff between us and Him. It can take a while to re-develop appreciation, but as the satisfaction we get from sustenance that is closer to its natural state increases, the draw of the less-wellconnected foodstuffs painlessly diminishes. You walked out my door more than 20 years ago, Debbie. And soon after that, we moved away. Then so did you. We’ve lost touch with each other, and I never got to tell you that I really wasn’t a hopeless case, doomed to doughnuts and ear infections, processed “cheese food” and strep throat for the rest of my life. I am still here on the couch, writing another one of my shopping lists, but oh boy, is it a different kind of shopping list. Oh, you planted a seed in me alright, Debbie. Knowing you, it must have been an apple seed. “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” — James Matthew Barrie When I walked into the pet superstore that Saturday, all I wanted to do was buy cat litter. I just made a tiny detour to visit the adoptable shelter animals on display. That’s when Laser — a 5-monthold Siamese kitten — reached out of his cage and tapped me on the shoulder. Little did I know that he was going to change my life. I took Laser home, and he continued to be extraordinarily outgoing and friendly. When I learned about a local animalassisted therapy volunteer group, I knew it was for us. What could be better than doing volunteer work with your pet? Although cats are a minority of the pets involved in animalassisted therapy — the vast majority are dogs — Laser turned out to be perfectly suited for that line of work. People often ask me what Laser actually does during his therapy visits. His job consists mostly of cuddling. We regularly visit a children’s hospital, the university psychiatric geriatric unit and a local nursing home. Whenever my schedule permits, we also go to the palliative care unit at the university and other facilities. Even after volunteering for 12 years, I am still astounded By JACK CANFIELD & MARK VICTOR HANSEN by the small miracles that animals can work for people who are suffering or in pain. Once a severely burned teenager with much of his body wrapped in gauze was sitting in a wheelchair in the lobby of the children’s hospital. Laser sat on his lap, but was not satisfied with sitting just on top of the blanket — he tunneled underneath it. That was unusual for Laser, and the young man gave a big grin. His nurses later said that it was the first time he had smiled since he had been in the hospital. Another time a hospice patient asked for a cat visitor. Laser visited her every week for three months, and even as she grew progressively weaker, the woman always perked up when Laser arrived. She loved it when he curled up on her bed so she could pet him and talk to him. We visited her for the last time just two days before she died. Even though she was in and out of consciousness, she smiled when I put her hand on Laser’s back, and when we left, she whispered, “Thank you.” One woman we visit at the nursing home eagerly looks forward to Laser’s visits. She always tells the same story about how Laser visited her for the first time right after her shoulder surgery, and how she made an effort to use that arm to pet him. Every time we visit her she holds Laser on her lap, rocking him and speaking softly in his ear so that only he can hear. Along with cuddling, Laser likes to wrap his front paws around the neck of anyone who holds him. So while visiting teenagers on the psychiatric unit of the children’s hospital one day, I told them that Laser’s specialty was giving hugs. To my surprise, they all lined up wanting hugs, and Laser willingly obliged. Afterward, one young lady told me: “That felt so good. It’s been so long since I’ve had a hug.” I am grateful every day for the privilege I have of seeing Laser touch lives and make people happy. And I think how different — and less fulfilling — my life would be if Laser had never tapped me on the shoulder that fateful day. “Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been different and moving forward with your life.” ~ Oprah Winfrey “You grow up the day you have your first real laugh — at yourself.” ~ Ethel Barrymore 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.

The Prayer Task Force is an ecumenical effort pulling churches, both denominational and non-denominational together to pray and educate the public concerning drug issues facing our area with a goal of stamping out the drug problem. Submitted photo Members of Bethel Worship Center serve free snow cones at the Prayer Task Force's Soul Splash event. Energy proposals by AEP, especially how they will effect those in our area on a fixed income. Critics of the rate increase have called the proposed increase plan "a blank check for AEP." Also on the panel was Robert Murray of Murray Energy. Murray Energy is the largest privately owned coal company in America Producing approximately 30 million annual tons of bituminous coal that provides affordable energy to households and businesses across the country. Murray said coal cost four cents per kilowatt hour to produce compared to solar with costs 22 cents per kilowatt hour to produce. While agreeing all aspects of energy production should be utilized, Murray maintained there is no reason why Americans should not have affordable energy. "People on fixed incomes need low cost energy," he said. Murray added he grew up very poor, having a father who was paralyzed. He said he knows what it is to have to get by with very little. "You should be scared to death," he said of the increasing rates of energy. "The coal industry and our jobs are under attack," he continued. Murray maintains the coal industry is under attack and sighted the Obama administration for a major role in the effort to inhibit new coal production through heavy regulation and the Environmental Protection Agency not releasing permits. "Five power plants are closing including Sporn totally due to this one individual (President Obama)," Murray continued. He said he has areas in Meigs County he wants to develop and bring jobs to the county, but he has been dealing with red tape and the EPA in gaining the necessary permits. Murray said there are 11 indirect jobs created from every one mining job. Jerry James of Artex Oil said there is not any need to seek oil from foreign countries. He said with the technology available in the oil and gas industry, affordable oil and gas should be available. He stated the much debated hydraulic fracturing process or frac-ing has been around for 60 years. He said it is a safe process and could completely change the face of America's dependence on foreign oil if the EPA and the red tape of government would allow it. Much of the panel agreed the AEP rate hike proposal has too many unknown variables in it. Randazzo said there will be a meeting 10 a.m. Aug. 15 in Columbus at the offices of the PUCO. He urged people need to make their voices known and urged contacting officials. It is possible to stop the rate increase if people take a stand, he concluded. McConnell warns GOP: Donʼt help re-elect Obama written statement. He said efforts should focus on "what we can agree upon" rather than Democratic demands for raising taxes or GOP calls to repeal the year-old health care bill. Without an increase in government borrowing authority by Aug. 2, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has warned, there could be a default posing a catastrophic risk to the economy, still recovering from the worst recession in decades. In a sobering reminder of the stakes, the Treasury Department announced that the federal deficit was on pace to exceed $1 trillion for the third consecutive year, and was likely to top last year's $1.29 trillion. In a radio interview on the Laura Ingraham Show, McConnell predicted that if Congress fails to act, Obama will argue "that Republicans are making the economy worse and try to convince the public, maybe with some merit, if people start not getting their Social Security checks and military families start getting letters saying their service people overseas don't get paid." "You know it's an argu- ment he has a good chance of winning, and all of a sudden we (Republicans) have co-ownership of a bad economy. That is a very bad positioning going into an election," he said. McConnell said his first choice was to reach a good compromise with Obama. Short of that, "my second obligation is to my party ... to prevent them from being sucked into a horrible position politically that would allow the president probably to get re-elected because we didn't handle this difficult situation correctly." At least in part, McConnell's comments were a rebuttal to conservatives who criticized his proposal on Tuesday to let Obama raise the debt limit without a vote of Congress. Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich called that idea an "an irresponsible surrender to big government, big deficits and continued overspending," and Ingraham said she had received emails from conservative listeners likening McConnell to Pontius Pilate. The Republican lawmaker brushed aside the biblical reference. But without mentioning Gingrich by name, he referred to two government shutdowns of 1995 that the one-time House speaker engineered in hopes of winning deep spending cuts from a Democratic president. The tactic backfired politically on Gingrich and the Republicans, and benefited President Bill Clinton. A decade and a half later, some Republicans have set out on what could be a similar course on the debt limit, demanding huge deficit cuts ‚Äî and no tax increases — as the price for approving an increase in borrowing authority. Some Democrats couldn't resist the temptation to jab at them. "You have the Republicans who walked out of the Biden talks. You have the speaker of the House who's close to entering into a framework agreement with the president of the United State walk out because other Republicans in the House undercut him," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., a participant in the talks led by Vice President Joe Biden. Drug stops HIV among hetero couples, not just gays ATLANTA (AP) — An AIDS drug already shown to help prevent spread of the virus in gay men also works for heterosexual men and women, two studies in Africa found. Experts called it a breakthrough for the continent that has suffered most from AIDS. "These studies could help us to reach the tipping point in the HIV epidemic," said Michael Sidibe, executive director of the United Nation's AIDS program, in a statement Wednesday as the study results were announced. "This is really a game changer," said Dr. Jared Baeten, the University of Washington researcher who was a leader of one of the studies. The prevention drug is Truvada, a pill already on pharmacy shelves to treat people with HIV. It's made by Gilead Sciences Inc. of Foster City, Calif.

Local Stocks From Page A1 WASHINGTON (AP) — Failure to raise the U.S. debt limit would probably ensure President Barack Obama's re-election in 2012, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell warned fellow conservatives on Wednesday, fresh evidence of deep GOP political divisions on an issue of paramount importance to the nation and its economy. McConnell spoke as Obama and congressional leaders met for a fourth straight day ‚Äî struggling to avert an unprecedented government default threatened for Aug. 2 ‚Äî and rank-and-file lawmakers advanced fallback measures in case the bipartisan talks fail. One version, authored by Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., was designed to make sure Social Security benefits are paid on time. Another, unveiled by a trio of House conservatives, would give priority to paychecks for members of the armed forces. "Currently, there is not a single debt limit proposal that can pass the House of Representatives," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said in a Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 85.

But experts were thrilled Wednesday at the first compelling evidence that AIDS medications can prevent infection between men and women. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which gave advice last fall for use of the preventive drugs among gays, is now developing guidance for heterosexuals in this country. At the same time, national and international health officials said it's far from clear how preventive use of these drugs will play out. How many people would want to take a pill each day to reduce their risk of HIV infection? Would they stick with it? Would they become more sexually reckless? Another issue: There already is a supply problem. In Africa, 6.6 million people are now on AIDS drugs, but 9 million people who are eligible for the treatment are on a waiting list, according to the World Health Organization. In the United States, many state assistance programs that help people access AIDS medications also have waiting lists. The first of the new studies, run by the CDC, involved more than 1,200 men and women in Botswana. About half took Truvada each day. The other half got a fake pill. An analysis of those who were believed to be regularly taking the pills found four of those on Truvada became infected with HIV, compared to 19 on the dummy pill. That means the drug lowered the risk of infection by roughly 78 percent, researchers said. AEP (NYSE) — 37.97 Akzo (NASDAQ) — 59.85 Ashland Inc.

Bear keeper in Ohio attack dies in bizarre fashion CLEVELAND (AP) — An exotic-animal keeper who made headlines after one of his bears killed a caretaker was found dead and chained to his bed, asphyxiated in an apparent accident during sexual role-playing, authorities said. Sam Mazzola, 49, was found last week face down on his water bed, wearing a mask and with his arms and legs restrained, said Dr. Frank P. Miller, III, a pathologist at the Lorain County coroner’s office. He had choked on a sex toy, Miller said in an e-mailed statement. Mazzola’s body was found on Friday at his home in Columbia Township, about 15 miles southwest of Cleveland. Someone else was at the home and helped Mazzola undertake the acts but left before he died, Miller told The News-Herald of Willoughby. Sheriff’s officials ruled out suicide and homicide but are still investigating the manner of death, the newspaper reported. The coroner’s office did not return calls from The Associated Press, and the sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Last summer, 24-year-old Brent Kandra was killed by a bear after opening its cage on Mazzola’s property for a routine feeding. Though animal-rights activists had wanted Mazzola charged with reckless homicide, Kandra’s death was ruled a workplace accident. The bear was later destroyed. About two weeks later, a federal judge ordered that Mazzola receive mental treatment and tightened his probation requirements, which had been ordered after he pleaded guilty in 2009 to transporting a black bear and selling a skunk without a license. It was unclear how many animals remained on the property when he died, but Mazzola had said in a bankruptcy filing in May 2010 that he owned four tigers, a lion, eight bears and 12 wolves. The U.S. Department of Agriculture had revoked his license to exhibit animals after animal rights activists campaigned for him to stop letting people wrestle with another one of his bears. He had permits for nine bears for 2010, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The state requires permits for bears but doesn’t regulate the ownership of nonnative animals, such as lions and tigers. In March, Mazzola pleaded no contest in Elyria Municipal Court to failing to keep proper animal records and was fined $250. A judge gave him six months to get his animal records in compliance with state law. The Pomeroy Merchants Association Summertime is a great time to schedule Annual Exams and Sports Physicals.

Love, Susann THURSDAY TELEVISION GUIDE �Thursday, July 14, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page A8 www.mydailysentinel.com A windy test awaits at Sandwich for British Open SANDWICH, England (AP) — Steve Stricker can appreciate better than most how the British Open is unlike any other major. One day after winning the John Deere Classic with a birdie-birdie finish on the green, manicured fairways of a TPC course in America’s heartland, Stricker was trying to stand upright on the lunar links of Royal St. George’s. The yardage book was more of a guide than the gospel. It was tough to control his golf ball through the air, even harder when it was bouncing along the ground. “It’s quite a turnaround,” Stricker said Wednesday. “To learn and adapt to this style in 21⁄2 days is a challenge.” That short time was all he needed, however, to learn what most others have about this links course in the southeast of England. It’s a strong test for golf’s oldest championship on a mild day. When the wind is up, which it has been all week, it can be a beast. The 140th edition of this championship gets under way Thursday at Royal St. George’s, as unpredictable as any links on the Open rotation. This is the course where Greg Norman in 1993 became the first Open champion to win with all four rounds in the 60s. It’s the same course where Ben Curtis was the only player to break par when it was last here in 2003. A dry spring has kept the rough from getting too thick, which is but a small reprieve. “It’s a big challenge, and we are the best players in the world here,” PGA champion Martin Kaymer said. “So it should be tough. At the end of the day, everybody has to deal with the same golf course.” Even so, it’s not always the same for everyone. The piece of information getting most of the attention on the eve of the British Open was the weather report. The forecast is for gusts up to 25 mph Thursday morning with patches of rain, before the wind tapers off in the afternoon. The wind is expected to remain moderate Friday morning, then switch directions and return to gusts upward of 25 mph by the end of the day. If that holds true, the players teeing off early Thursday and late Friday could get the worst of it. And as a reminder of how significant the tee times can be, remember that Louis Oosthuizen teed off at 6:41 a.m. in the second round last year at St. Andrews, missed the worst of the weather in his round of 67 and was on his way to a seven-shot win. Among the early starters Thursday: Rory McIlroy, the overwhelming favorite to add the claret jug to his U.S. Open trophy. McIlroy, who has not played since his record-setting win at Congressional last month, did most of his preparation last week at Royal St. George’s. He played in a strong, southwesterly wind, which is typical this time of the year. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland played at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday in a wind coming out of the opposite direction. He played at the same time Tiger Woods used to practice, and while the gallery for McIlroy wasn’t quite as large, the kid caused a frenzy when fans tried to get his autograph after he finished. For the rest of the day, officials banned autographs in the area leading from the 18th green. It’s a different test for McIlroy, with conditions much more firm and dry than at the U.S. Open. “It’s firm. It’s fast,” he said. “But the thing is with this wind, you’re going to have to keep the ball low. But sometimes it’s hard to run the ball into these greens because they’re so undulating and they can go so many different ways.” The wind direction during three days’ of practice has the Royal & Ancient concerned enough that it might move some tees forward. Chief executive Peter Dawson said the most likely candidates were the par-5 seventh (some players couldn’t reach the fairway) and the par-3 11th (Phil Mickelson couldn’t reach the green with a driver). Then there’s the par-4 13th, where Stricker hit driver off the tee and driver off the deck to get it near the green. “Now, if the wind turns around, it’s a different story,” Dawson said. It’s different for everybody — even in the same group. Stewart Cink, who won at Turnberry two years ago, was reminded of that while playing a practice round with Davis Love III, Lucas Glover and twotime Open champion Padraig Harrington. They came to the par-3 sixth hole, which measures 162 yards to the front edge of a green that is 35 yards deep. They all hit pitching wedge with the wind in their favor. “Some of them were short by about 50 feet, and some of them went through the green into the rough,” Cink said. “And they all landed within 5 yards of each other.” So what does it take on this most difficult links? McIlroy believes the second shot will be key. Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world, emphasized chipping and putting because the greens are so difficult. Kaymer favored the 10-foot putts, many of which will be for par. K.J. Choi, who won The Players Championship in May and is having one of his best years, spoke in English to describe his experience, and while the sentences were short, the meaning was clear. “Wind very important,” he said. “This wind is the most difficult. Greens are small targets. Chipping.” Cink came up with the best answer of all — as it relates to this British Open, and this style of golf. “Attitude,” he said. “A lot of the field is weeded out already. They’re not accustomed to hitting good shots and being put in a bad spot. Because you don’t always get rewarded for good shots. But if you hit enough good shots, you won’t get in as many bad spots as someone who doesn’t hit a lot of good shots.” Tribune - Sentinel - Register C L A S S I F I E D MARKETPLACE Yard Sale Houses For Sale Houses For Rent Drivers & Delivery Help Wanted - General Medical 3 Family Yard Sale 7/15-16 14miles out 141 exercise equipment, furniture, mirrors, pictures, bow/arrow, dishes HUGE Sale Clean 2 Bedroom House, conveniently located, Ref & Dep required, NO PETS 304-675-5162 2004 16x80, 2br, 2 bath, Rt 2N past Krodel Park. 304-895-3129 or 304675-7770 House for Sale Convenient in town location 1057 Second Ave 3bd 2 full bath, washer/dryer on Main Floor off street parking with garage + carport 740-709-6168 Beautiful 3 BR House in Country, New appliances, New flooring, Freshly painted, Central Air, Laundry Rm, Water Pd. $550 mth.

Much to almost everyone’s surprise, they’re in contention. The trick now is staying there. After dropping their final three games before the All-Star break and finishing the unofficial first half just one-half game behind first-place Detroit, the Indians, who have overcome their warts and blemishes by being resilient, resume their unexpected season on Thursday by opening a four-game series in Baltimore. They’ll do so with a reshuffled starting rotation and a front office approaching the July 31 trading deadline with caution. The Indians are in the market for a right-handed hitter and shopping for a veteran starter. General manager Chris Antonetti has accepted the “window of opportunity” is open and it’s time to be active and add to his club for the playoff push. But at what cost? “The plan is to win games, get to the postseason and win championships,” Antonetti said. “You have a certain opportunity to do that. This year, the way the team has played, this is one of those opportunities where we can compete. We’ll try to do everything we can to maximize this opportunity. That said, there is that balance of being mindful at what expense long term and what we will have to give up. “We recognize there is going to have to be some compromise if we’re going to be giving up young players who can potentially contribute down the road. We understand there is going to be some cost associated with improving this year’s team. We just have to find out what the right balance is.” The Indians (47-42) have a dilemma. If they truly believe they can get to the World Series, are they willing to sacrifice a few top prospects to get there? And if they don’t think this is their year and decide not to make any moves, what kind of message does that send to a frustrated and mostly apathetic fan base still grum- DNA, steroids traces AP photo Cleveland Indians’ Travis Hafner, center, is mobbed by teammates, from left, Carlos Carrasco, Jack Hannahan, Carlos Santana, and Austin Kearns after hitting a walk-off grand slam off Toronto Blue Jays’ Luis Perez during the ninth inning of baseball game, Thursday, July 7, in Cleveland. The Indians won the game 5-4. bling over the organization’s inability to sign Cy Young winners CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee and catcher Victor Martinez to long-term contracts? It’s a tough call. It’s all Antonetti’s, and he’s prepared to make the Indians better — if he can. “We’re open to any way we can improve the team, whatever that might be,” he said. With Shin-Soo Choo sidelined until late August or early September after breaking his thumb on June 24, the Indians are looking for an outfielder to add punch to an offense that has sputtered all season long. Choo seemed to be finally emerging from a funk when he got hurt, an unfortunate setback for the 29-year-old whom the Indians would like to sign before he becomes eligible for free agency this winter. Antonetti is focused on improving Cleveland’s offense, which has managed to stay above water — thanks to All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera — despite losing Choo and playing without designated hitter Travis Hafner and outfielder Grady Sizemore (both on the disabled list) for long stretches. But to stay close in a wide-open division that could turn into a fourteam drag race in the closing weeks, the Indians could use a dependable bat. As usual, names are being kicked around as possible targets, including Kansas City outfielders Jeff Francoeur and Melky Cabrera. But the Royals need starting pitchers and it’s unlikely that the Indians, who have their own pitching issues in the back of their rotation with both Fausto Carmona and Mitch Talbot struggling and on the disabled list, would part with any of the young and talented arms in their minor league system. Antonetti hasn’t labeled anyone as “untouchable” but it’s safe to assume top pitching prospects Alex White and Drew Pomeranz aren’t going anywhere. Manager Manny Acta understands that landing the right player could be costly, especially this season with tight races in every division. “It is not as easy as it sounds,” Acta said. “There are so many teams in so many races that they don’t want to give up players. Those that do, want to hold on to them, to see which teams will give them the best offer.” The Indians are at least one year ahead of their timetable to contend. They figured this would be another year of rebuilding, of figuring out what they’ve got and what they need. And who knows, it could still become that type of season if the pitching falls apart, injuries continue to mount and the Tigers, Twins or White Sox get hot. But enough has happened already this season — 20 come-from-behind wins, magical walk-off home victories, a lightsout bullpen — for the Indians to believe they can get to the postseason. “We’ve been hit physically, especially on offense, but everybody on the roster has battled,” said Hafner, whose comeback after several sub-par seasons has sparked the club’s turnaround. “The pitchers have done a great job of keeping us in games. They’ve done it all year. We have to get to full strength and when that happens, I think we can be even better.” They’ll need to be. The Indians will play 47 of their 73 games in the second half inside the division, where they are just 13-12. The schedule makers have set things up for a wild scramble in September as 22 of Cleveland’s last 26 games will be against teams in the Central, culminating with a three-game series in Detroit to end the regular season. October beckons. In July, it’s still hard to say if the Indians have what it takes to get there. To Hafner, this season is reminiscent of 2005, when an inexperienced Indians squad overachieved, won 93 games but collapsed down the stretch and fell just shy of making the postseason. He hopes the outcome is different this time. “We were a collection of young guys learning to win and we have a lot of that here now,” he said. “In 2007, we were more of a veteran club expected to do something. Now, there’s not a lot of guys who have gone to the playoffs. They’re excited to get there.” AP Sports Briefs Ohio coaches suggest honoring Jim Tressel COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio High School Football Coaches Association has suggested that members honor former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel this fall. Association Secretary Dick Kerschbaum says the group has proposed that high school football coaches in the state wear a white shirts and ties to their first games of the season. The recognition is designed to thank Tressel for his years of service to high school football. The decision to participate in the recommendation will be left up to each coach. Tressel was inducted into the association’s hall of fame last Friday. Tressel’s 10-year tenure at Ohio State ended May 30 when he resigned amid revelations that he knew players were trading memorabilia for cash and tattoos in violation of NCAA rules and covered it up for nine months. Marshall, Navy to meet in 2016, 2018 HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Marshall and Navy have agreed to play a home-and-home football series starting in 2016. Marshall announced Wednesday it will travel to play in Annapolis, Md., on Sept. 3, 2016, marking the first meeting between the schools. Navy will make a trip to Huntington on Oct. 13, 2018. WVU’s Jenkins to miss season MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia left guard Josh Jenkins will miss this season after undergoing surgery on his left knee. Jenkins was injured in West Virginia’s spring game April 29 and had surgery July 5. Trainer David Kerns said Wednesday that Jenkins’ medial collateral ligament healed properly, but surgery was needed to stabilize the knee. Kerns says Jenkins is eligible for a medical hardship waiver and should return for his senior season in 2012. Jenkins has 24 career starts. He injured his right knee last season, underwent arthroscopic surgery and missed two games. Xavier AD to head NCAA selection committee CINCINNATI (AP) — Xavier University’s athletics director will head the NCAA Division I men’s basketball committee for the 2012-13 season. The NCAA announced in Indianapolis on Wednesday that Mike Bobinski would succeed Connecticut AD Jeff Hathaway as chairman after the upcoming season and tournament. Bobinski will this fall begin the fourth year of a five-year term on the committee. The tournament’s annual March Madness includes heavy coverage of its selection process, which this year expanded to 68 teams and a “First Four” in Dayton, Ohio. Xavier has made the last six NCAA tournaments, twice reaching the regional finals. Ohio State AD Gene Smith headed the most recent committee. Jackets sign Bass to 1-year deal COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets say they’ve inked a one-year deal with center Cody Bass. Wednesday’s announcement from the club did not disclose financial terms of the contract. Bass is a 24-year-old native of Owen Sound, Ontario. He was scoreless in one game for the Ottawa Senators during the past season and had six goals and nine assists in 58 games with the American Hockey League’s Binghamton Senators. He won the Yanick Dupré Memorial Award as the AHL’s Man of the Year. WASHINGTON (AP) — Prosecutors said Wednesday that needles and cotton balls Roger Clemens’ former trainer says he used to inject the star pitcher tested positive for Clemens’ DNA and anabolic steroids — evidence the defense said was faked. Assistant U.S. attorney Steven Durham revealed the results during opening arguments in Clemens’ trial on charges of lying to Congress about using performance-enhancing drugs. Clemens’ attorney Rusty Hardin responded that he won’t dispute the needles contain Clemens’ DNA and steroids, but accused the trainer Brian McNamee of “mixing” it up. “He manufactured this stuff,” Hardin told jurors. “Roger Clemens’ only crime was having the poor judgment to stay connected with Brian McNamee.” Hardin said steroids would have been “incredibly inconsistent with his career and beliefs that there’s no way he would have done it.” Clemens has said that the only things McNamee ever injected him with were the common local anesthetic lidocaine for his joints and vitamin B12. But Durham said neither substance was found on the needles or cotton swabbed with his blood stains. Hardin told the jury that the government is “horribly wrong” in charging his client with perjury, false statements and obstruction of Congress. Clad in a dark suit, Clemens watched silently from the defense table with a clenched jaw. “There was a rush to judgment on Roger that has made it impossible for him to be fairly heard until he got here,” Hardin said in the federal courthouse just a couple blocks from the congressional hearing room where he testified three years ago. “It’s a fact of life that sometimes when people reach the mountain, there is an unwillingness to give them equal consideration when people come down on them,” Hardin said. “And that’s what happened with Roger.” Hardin showed the jury an enlarged photo of the country with all the sites where federal agents investigated the case. He said it involved 103 law enforcement officers, five attorneys, 229 investigation reports and 72 investigation locations across the continental United States, Germany and Puerto Rico. “They still didn’t find anything to connect him with steroids except Brian McNamee,” Hardin said. Durham, however, said that about 45 witnesses, including several of Clemens’ former teammates, will help make the case that Clemens used anabolic steroids and human growth hormone. When Clemens denied the use under oath before a House panel in 2008, Durham said, “It was false and he knew it was false.” Hardin argued that the government’s case essentially rises and falls with McNamee, who the lawyer said has lied repeatedly. “He’s still lying,” Hardin said. Hardin also said that McNamee lied in a police investigation in Florida in 2001. The trainer was investigated for sexual assault, but Walton had previously instructed Hardin not to discuss specifics of that incident in front of the jury. Clemens continues to maintain he didn’t use drugs during a 24-season career that set several pitching records. “Roger Clemens has a right to be hurt and mad. He was totally betrayed by a worker he considered a friend,” Hardin said. Hardin tried to fight the perception that Clemens arrogantly insisted on testifying before Congress and thus put himself in this criminal position. He was not subpoenaed to testify and Hardin says it was “technically true that he voluntarily appeared” though under tremendous pressure. “Roger Clemens, unless he was comatose, always knew the danger of him testifying,” Hardin said, pointing out that fellow Major League Baseball player Miguel Tejada was charged with misleading Congress for earlier testimony. “Did he (Clemens) do it out of arrogance and wanting to go to the Hall of Fame?” Hardin said. “Really? To get into the Hall of Fame? Really? Is that what we’ve come to?” Hardin showed a photo of the crush of photographers around the witness table as Clemens came into the House hearing room and called it a “scene.” Then he showed video of Clemens telling lawmakers that he thinks steroids are wrong and detrimental, but “no matter what we discuss here today, I’m never going to have my named restored.” Hardin objected during Durham’s opening argument when the prosecutor told jurors that Clemens teammates Andy Pettitte, Chuck Knoblauch and Mike Stanton will testify they used performanceenhancing drugs to recover from injuries and because the pressure to perform was so high in Major League Baseball. Walton has expressed concern in pretrial hearings that kind of testimony could lead jurors to consider Clemens guilty by association, and the judge told jurors to disregard Durham’s comments about other players. Durham said aging baseball players took performance-enhancing drugs to try to keep their jobs in a competitive industry. “Every year younger players come into the league, and they want to take the jobs of older players,” Durham said Hardin went over Clemens’ many achievements and awards, including seven Cy Young Awards given annually to the best pitcher in the league, and argued that he was great before and after McNamee says he injected him with drugs. Hardin said hard work was responsible for Clemens’ longevity. He said Clemens was not a natural athlete and while his high school buddies were partying on Friday nights, he was working out. Durham showed a photo of the yellowing cotton balls, needles and vials turned over by McNamee, who the prosecutor described as “a man that was hand chosen by Mr. Clemens to train him.” He said the evidence was tested by two California labs — one that found Clemens’ DNA on the needle and cotton and another that tested them for drugs. “They found absolutely no B-12, and they found absolutely no lidocaine,” Durham said. “What they did find was anabolic steroids.” McNamee says he collected the evidence in 2001, when Clemens became the first pitcher ever to start a season 20-1, led the Yankees to the World Series and won his sixth Cy Young. Durham said McNamee saved the material — the photo showed the Miller Lite can that McNamee kept it in for more than six years — because he was always skeptical he could trust his star client if steroid allegations ever surfaced and that he would be “thrown under the bus.” Durham said McNamee did not initially tell federal agents about it, but only did so after Clemens went on CBS’ “60 Minutes” and smeared his name. �SPORTS Sports Briefs MEIGS 8TH GRADE VOLLEYBALL CLINIC ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — There will be a volleyball clinic held at the Meigs Middle School from Monday, July 25, through Friday, July 29, for eighth grade girls only.

National League's Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers hits a three-run home run during the fourht inning of the MLB All-Star baseball game Tuesday in Phoenix. Fielder was named the MVP after helping the NL post a 5-1 win over the AL. AP photo Fielder HR lifts NL to 5-1 victory PHOENIX (AP) — Heath Bell sprinted in from the bullpen and slid across the infield grass, tearing up the turf just short of the mound. It was that type of night: The National League never stopped moving. “I told some guys I wanted to have fun this All-Star game and needed some ideas,” Bell said. The NL had all the good ideas Tuesday night. Prince Fielder hit a three-run homer and Roy Halladay combined with nine relievers on a sixhitter in a 5-1 victory Tuesday night, giving the senior circuit its first two-game winning streak since the mid1990s. “It’s hard to beat great pitching and a three-run homer,” NL manager Bruce Bochy said. Brian Wilson got two outs and earned the save, just as he did for the Giants skipper when San Francisco won the championship last November. “It felt like a little bit like last year when you come into a pressure situation and you try to do as clutch a performance as you can,” Wilson said. Wilson sounded more impressed with Bell’s theatrics. “I think he nailed it,” Wilson said. “I don’t know if I’d make it. I think I’d slip, ankle, flip, next thing you know I can’t pitch.” The NL claimed homefield advantage in the World Series, its only blemish being Adrian Gonzalez’s homer in the fourth off Cliff Lee. Fielder connected in the bottom half of the inning against C.J. Wilson. With several big 5 1 names as no-shows, the AL lost more than the game. Boston right-hander Josh Beckett warmed up, then bowed out because of a sore knee. Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera left after hurting the oblique muscle in his side while swinging. “We are not going to use not having Josh as an excuse,” AL manager Ron Washington said. “I think when you look at the ballgame, the bottom line is the National League pitching was outstanding. You know, we ended up giving up one big inning and they didn’t give up any.” Even before the injuries, many stars were missing. Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez, CC Sabathia and other aces who started Sunday were ineligible, Alex Rodriguez was among those on the disabled list and Derek Jeter wanted a break. In all, 16 of 84 All-Stars dropped out. Tyler Clippard got the win despite allowing a single to his only batter, Adrian Beltre. Clayton Kershaw, Jair Jurrjens, Craig Kimbrel, Jonny Venters, Joel Hanrahan also relieved and combined to keep the NL ahead. Fielder won the MVP award after becoming the first Brewers player to homer in an All-Star game. The World Series edge could help him later, with Milwaukee and St. Louis tied for the Central lead at the break. A half-hour after the win, the Brewers announced they had acquired former All-Star closer Francisco Rodriguez in a trade with the New York Mets. “That was part of the message, how important it was for us, and how important the game was: Do it again for the National League champion,” Bochy said. Fielder, son of former All-Star Cecil Fielder, was booed during the Home Run Derby a day earlier. He was the NL captain for the Derby, and local fans were angry he didn’t select Arizona’s Justin Upton. “I didn’t take it personal at all,” Fielder said. “I understood it. No hard feelings.” Andre Ethier singled in a run off rookie reliever Jordan Walden in the fifth, and slimmed-down Pablo Sandoval had an RBI double off Brandon League in the seventh. The NL dashed around the bases and swiped three bags, all in one inning and two by Starlin Castro. In all, the Nationals have enjoyed their best run since taking three in a row from 1994-96 — they had lost 12 straight games played to a decision before a 3-1 victory at Anaheim last year. Before a crowd of 47,994 that included Muhammad Ali, this was no desert classic — except for fans of pitching, which has become resurgent as the Steroids Era has receded. Scoring in the first half dropped to its lowest level in 19 years and the major league batting average shrunk to its smallest midseason figure since 1985. The All-Star homers were the first since J.D. Drew connected at Yankee Stadium three years ago. The AL finished with six hits for the second straight year and its two-year total of two runs is its lowest since 1995-96. “Just a coincidence,” Curtis Granderson said. NOTES: There was a moment of silence before the game for the victims of the Tucson shootings in January, among them ChristinaTaylor Green, the 9-yearold daughter of Dodgers scout John Green and granddaughter of former major league manager and GM Dallas Green. Her parents and brother brought the lineup cards to home plate. Families of the victims sat near the third-base dugout. Daniel Hernandez, an intern who helped save the life of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords during the shootings, threw out a ceremonial first pitch along with Joe Garagiola. ... Beckett warmed up to start the second but felt soreness in his left knee and didn’t pitch. “If it was a regular game, I could have pitched through it,” he said. ... RF Jose Bautista made a sliding catch in foul territory in the rightfield corner on Brian McCann before hitting the wall feet first. ... The NL has outscored the AL 344-341. ... This was the first time the DH was used for an All-Star game in an NL ballpark. ... Even though the NL won for just the fifth time in 24 years, it holds a 42-38-2 advantage. Stadium safety under review PHOENIX (AP) — Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig says major league teams are reviewing stadium safety following the death of a fan at a Texas Rangers game last week. The fan, 39-year-old Shannon Stone, fell over a railing while trying to catch a ball thrown to the stands by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. “It was a horrible accident, heartbreaking, almost beyond comprehension,” Selig said Tuesday during a question-and-answer session with the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. “Each team determines its own ballpark safety features based on local laws. “Maybe there’s some things they can or can’t do,” Selig said. “Common sense should always take over in this situation.” The commissioner also said he had found more support than he had expected for a onegame playoff between wild-card teams if the playoffs expand from eight to 10 clubs in 2012. He also said the 2013 All-Star game is likely to be at the Mets’ Citi Field. While Selig said baseball would consider moving the All-Star game to a Wednesday in the future -- allowing pitchers who started the previous Sunday to participate -- teams might be resistant because of their preference to play regular-season games on Thursdays. Selig said that he was not interested in radical realignment that would eliminate divisions or make major alterations to the leagues, but it was possible one team could move from the NL to the AL to leave each league with 15 teams. Because the 2012 draft schedule already has been completed, that likely could not occur to 2013 at the earliest. The downside would be that interleague play would have to be spread throughout the regular season. He also backed Derek Jeter’s decision not to play in the All-Star game. The New York Yankees captain came off the disabled list last week and got his 3,000th hit Saturday. Jeter said he needed to rest because of the calf injury that had sidelined him. “There isn’t a player that I’m more proud of in the last 15 years than Derek Jeter. He’s played the game the way it should be played. He’s an even greater human being off the field,” Selig said. “I think I would have made the same decision that Derek Jeter had.” Selig said the proposed sale of the Houston Astros was on track and that he thinks the Mets financial situation would be stabilized once the Wilpon family completes a deal for a cash infusion from David Einhorn, who once lived next to Selig in Milwaukee. He also repeated his desire to reach an agreement with the players’ association on an international draft and a slotting system for draft picks. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
