Minster Veterinary Service came in 2nd place out of 12 Miami Valley veterinary offices in the Merial Dayton Trivia Challenge on April 14, held at the Funny Bone Dayton at The Greene. The team
members were Tareese Nedderman (Office Manager), Rebekah Barber (Veterinary Technician),
and Angela Back (Veterinary Assistant). The event was sponsored by Merial, a leading manufacturer of flea and heartworm preventive medications. The contest consisted of questions based on
fleas, ticks, heartworms, intestinal parasites as well as Merial’s products. The Minster team was
able to put their knowledge on display. The event was hosted by Jennifer Nicholson, Merial’s local
sales representative. The team name was “Hunter’s Hunters,” a play on Dr. Paul Hunter’s name, so
the costume of choice was camouflage. The team was hunting fleas, ticks, heartworms and other
pests with the help of Merial’s products. The trivia challenge consisted of four rounds, each about
a different parasite. After the fourth round, “Hunter’s Hunters” were tied for first and went into a
tie breaker round where they lost by a question to last year’s winners. A fun and educational time
was enjoyed by the participants.

Shark attack survivor: Fish was ‘biting
up my left arm’
(AP) — A teen seriously wounded after a
shark attack in North
Carolina says he felt the
big fish before he saw it
and didn’t realize what
it was until it was “biting
up my left arm.”
“We were just play-
ing around in the waves,
and I felt a hit on my
left calf,” 16-year-old
Hunter Treschl said in a
videotaped interview released Tuesday night by
the hospital where he is
being treated. “I thought
it felt like a big fish, and
I started moving away.
And then the shark bit
my arm — off.”

trator Don Harrod said.
The owners of the lots in question will be given
the opportunity to assess sidewalk installation on
their own, and will have 75 days or until the end of
August to do so.
“As we do the street project, we’ll give the homeowner the opportunity to put them in themselves,”
Harrod said. “If they do not choose to do that, we’ll
hire a contractor and install those and go through
the process of assessing those costs back to the property owners.”
Councilors suspended the usual rule of giving
three readings to a new resolution, and passed the
resolution as an emergency.
“Through the assessment process, we have to send
them preliminary letters, and give them a certain
period of time to put them in, and then we have to
pass an ordinance to actually assess (the sidewalks),”
Harrod said. “In order to get it done by the end of the
year, we did it as an emergency to keep that process
going.”
Councilors also passed an ordinance to establish
rates for customers receiving electric services from
the village. In March, an ordinance was passed, and
declared the new electrical rate be set at 8 cents per
kw/hr. With the new ordinance, this rate increase
will be gradually phased in.
“Small industrial and commercial establishments
are going to see quite a bit of a percentage increase,
what I’d like to recommend is to phase that in over a
two phase period,” Harrod said.
Instead of an immediate increase to 8 cents, Tuesday’s ordinance will establish the rate at 7.25 cents
per kw/hr., effective for bills due July 1, and maintain the amended rate until Jan. 1, when the rate will
increase again to 8 cents.
“One thing I was worried about was hitting those
small businesses mid-year when they’ve already got
their budget prepared,” Harrod said. “This will give
them an idea to plan ahead for the future and budget
for that as well.”
The previous rate was 6.35 cents per kw/hr.

kills man in Tbilisi
TBILISI,
Georgia
(AP) — A tiger that
broke loose after severe
flooding at the Tbilisi
Zoo mauled a man to
death Wednesday before
being shot by police.
“It was a white tiger,” Interior Minister
Vakhtang Gomelauri told
the AP. “We wanted to
sedate it, but it was very
aggressive and we had to
liquidate it.”
The flooding, triggered by torrential rains
over the weekend, killed
at least 19 people, destroyed houses and tore
up roads.
Six people remain
missing.

Today is Wednesday, June 17, the 168th day of
2015. There are 197 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On June 17, 1775, the Revolutionary War Battle of
Bunker Hill resulted in a costly victory for the British,
who suffered heavy losses.
On this date:
In 1789, during the French Revolution, the Third
Estate declared itself a national assembly, and undertook to frame a constitution. (This gathering gave
rise to the political terms “left wing” and “right wing,”
with deputies representing commoners sitting to the
left of the assembly president, and nobles sitting to
the right.)
In 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York
Harbor aboard the French ship Isere (ee-SEHR’).
In 1928, Amelia Earhart embarked on a trans-Atlantic flight from Newfoundland to Wales with pilots
Wilmer Stultz and Louis Gordon, becoming the first
woman to make the trip as a passenger.
In 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed the
Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which boosted U.S. tariffs
to historically high levels, prompting foreign retaliation.
In 1940, France asked Germany for terms of surrender in World War II.
In 1944, the Republic of Iceland was established.
In 1953, U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas stayed the execution of Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg, originally set for the next day, the couple’s 14th wedding anniversary. (They were put to
death June 19.)
In 1961, Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev defected to the West while his troupe was in Paris.
In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon’s eventual
downfall began with the arrest of five burglars inside
Democratic national headquarters in Washington
D.C.’s Watergate complex.
In 1985, Discovery Channel made its cable TV
debut.
In 1992, President George H.W. Bush and Russian
President Boris Yeltsin signed a breakthrough armsreduction agreement.
In 1994, after leading police on a slow-speed
chase on Southern California freeways, O.J. Simpson was arrested and charged with murder in the
slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ronald
Goldman. (Simpson was later acquitted in a criminal
trial, but held liable in a civil trial.)
Ten years ago: The nation’s Roman Catholic
bishops agreed to a five-year extension on their unprecedented policy of permanently barring sexually
abusive clergy from church work. Marcus Wesson,
the domineering patriarch of a large clan he’d bred
through incest, was convicted in Fresno, California, of murdering nine of his children. (Wesson was
later sentenced to death.) Former Tyco CEO Dennis
Kozlowski and a second executive, Mark H. Swartz,
were convicted of looting their company of more than
$600 million. (Kozlowsky was paroled in January
2014; Swartz was released in October 2013.) Iran’s
presidential election was thrown into a run-off after
no candidate won over 50 percent of the vote. (Tehran’s conservative mayor, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad
(mahk-MOOD’ ah-muh-DEE’-neh-zhadh), emerged
the winner.)
Five years ago: BP chief executive Tony Hayward told a congressional hearing he was “deeply
sorry” for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, but infuriated lawmakers as he disclaimed knowledge of any
of the myriad problems leading up to the disaster.
Israel agreed to ease its three-year-old land blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. The Los Angeles
Lakers rallied in Game 7, defeating the Boston Celtics
83-79 to repeat as NBA champions.
One year ago: The Obama administration announced that U.S. special forces had seized Ahmed
Abu Khattala, described as a “key leader” in the
deadly Benghazi, Libya, attack, and that he was on
his way to face trial in the U.S. for the fiery assault that
killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. (Abu Khattala has since pleaded not guilty in
federal court.) Johann “Hans” Breyer, an 89-year-old
retired toolmaker, was arrested in Philadelphia on a
German arrest warrant charging him with aiding and
abetting the killing of 216,000 Jewish men, women
and children while a guard at the Auschwitz death
camp. (Breyer died just over a month later before he
could be extradited.)

Thought for Today: “When all men think
alike, no one thinks very much.” — Walter Lippmann, American journalist (1889-1974).
Other views from around the country
In the 50 years since Griswold v. Connecticut —
in which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Connecticut law banning contraception for married couples — the right to birth control for all has become a
cornerstone of women’s health care and reproductive
freedom. But making it affordable to all women has
not been easy. It wasn’t until 2000 that employers who
offered prescription drug coverage were compelled to
cover prescription birth control as well. More recently, despite protests from Republicans and religious
groups, the contraceptive mandate in the Affordable
Care Act was enacted, requiring all insurers to cover
birth control with no co-pay.
Now there are new efforts to make it easier for
some oral contraceptives to be to be sold over the
counter, like aspirin, rather than by prescription
only. Wouldn’t that guarantee the most accessibility?
Theoretically, yes, but not if women are stuck buying
it without benefit of insurance. Consider Senate Bill
1438, introduced by U.S. Sens. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H.,
and Cory Gardner, R-Colo. That bill would incentivize drug companies to apply to the Food and Drug
Administration for permission to make their prescription contraceptives available over the counter
by giving the drugs priority review and waiving the
fee to apply. The bill would also repeal the Affordable
Care Act’s ban on using a flexible spending account
for over the counter medications.
All that sounds great. There’s just one big problem.
Only prescription drugs must be covered by insurers
under the Affordable Care Act. There is no such requirement for over-the-counter medications. Many
women — if not all — would find themselves paying
out of pocket for contraception after not having to
pay anything for it under the Affordable Care Act.
Opponents of the bill, including the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and the American Congress of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists, have pointed out
that birth control isn’t really accessible unless it’s affordable. And without insurance, oral contraceptives
can cost as much as $600 a year. Furthermore, the bill
would bar anyone younger than 18 from purchasing
the pills over the counter (although they could still
get them with a doctor’s prescription).
The better alternative is Senate Bill 1532, just introduced by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. It calls for
the continuation of complete insurance coverage of
any oral contraceptive after it goes from prescription
to over the counter. It would not set an age requirement for purchase.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in 2012 that oral contraceptives are safe
enough to be available over the counter. Not only are
they likely to decrease unintended pregnancy rates,
but they carry lower medical risks than pregnancy
and have fewer side effects than many medicines already available over the counter at grocery stores. The
group does not believe the drugs should be kept from
users younger than 18.
The Senate would be smart to pass the Murray
bill. If the FDA approves making oral contraceptives
available over the counter, Congress should continue
to require insurers to cover its cost.

Houses removed
XENIA (AP) — Three miniature houses modeled after the “Three Little Pigs” folktale have been
removed from the side of an Ohio road where a truck
hauling 2,200 piglets crashed — but it wasn’t a big
bad wolf that blew them away.
The Dayton Daily News reports the houses were
removed Tuesday by the Ohio Department of Transportation after they were discovered in Xenia on
Monday. It’s not known who placed them there.
One house was made from straw, another was
made of sticks and the last was made of bricks.
Authorities say they were removed because they
were a distraction for drivers. Some pulled over to
pose with the houses and caused a traffic jam.
Officials estimate 1,000 piglets died in last week’s
crash and some could still be on the loose.

“Carol Knarr is the teaching artist and she is a

Your Timing Won’t Be Off
When You Invest Systematically
If one of your worries is whether you’re investing
at the right time, it shouldn’t be. By investing a set
amount of money on a regular basis, you establish
a simple routine that can help make your financial
goals a reality.
In addition, investing
systematically can help:
• Make it possible to use market fluctuations to your advantage
• Add potential growth and diversification to your portfolio
• Keep your long-term financial goals in focus
Investing a set amount of money on a regular basis does not ensure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. Such
a plan involves continual investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities. You should consider your financial
ability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels.

rainfall amounts south of

Reinhart also credited

earlier this year from the
St. Marys River as a factor in reduced flooding in

WAXING ON
ABOUT ICE CREAM
Dear Heloise: I enjoy using so
many of the ideas (yours, as
well as others’) that are printed
in your column, and I would like
to add one of my own.
I do love ICE CREAM. Since it
takes some time for me to eat
a full gallon or a larger carton, I
have found that placing wax
paper over the ice cream once
it has been opened will stop it
from becoming icy on top,
since the wax paper acts as a
shield.
My daughter-in-law now uses
this idea and says that it works
wonderfully. I also make chocolate-pudding pies with no
meringue on top, so I use wax
paper on them, and they do not
dry out or get a film on top. -Frankie Stanford, Chillicothe,
Texas
BEETLE BAILEY
BLONDIE
A COLD SEPARATION
Dear Heloise: I remember
reading that it is easier to separate eggs when they are cold.
Is this true? -- Jenna D. in Indiana
Yes, it is true. Cold eggs are
easier to separate because
everything is, well, cold and not
as runny. However, the older
the egg, the more runny it will
be. So a fresh egg is easier to
separate, too. Depending on
the recipe, most do call for
room-temperature eggs. What
to do? Separate the egg and
set it out until it reaches room
temperature. -- Heloise
CRANKSHAFT
CRYPTOQUOTE
NO WASTE
Dear Heloise: I’d like to share a
simple trick for keeping sour
cream and cottage cheese
from getting mold after opening. Simply turn the carton
upside down in the refrigerator.
-- Judy J., Allen, Texas
Be sure the lid is on tight, and
shake the contents down to
make sure they cover the lid.
Then place in a bowl or on a
plate in case of leaking. I didn’t
one time ... and never again!

CAKE DECORATION
Dear Heloise: I bake a lot of
cakes. I don’t have the best
handwriting when writing a
message or decorating the
cakes. I use a toothpick to
“draw” the letters first or sketch
out the design. Then I just follow the “nice-looking letters”
with the decorating bag. Much
better than trying to redo a
mistake. I once spelled my
mother-in-law’s name wrong!

NO TEARS
BRIDGE
YOUR DAILY HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Your home routine will be interrupted
today. Family arguments, especially with
female relatives, might break out. Just stay
chill. Use today’s energy to make improvements to garbage, recycling, laundry areas
and bathrooms.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Conversations with siblings, neighbors and
friends will be important today. However,
don’t be too insistent about getting others
to agree with you. Lighten up.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
You might be obsessed with something
related to your finances or cash flow.
Maybe you want your way about something, or perhaps you are super keen to
buy something.
For Thursday, June 18, 2015
you are focused and ready to go for the
jugular.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You might attract a strong female personality to you today. In discussions with others, refrain from trying to improve someone or make him or her over.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Discussions with authority figures might
be intense today, because people think
they know best. This means they try to tell
other people how to live -- not cool.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Avoid controversial subjects like politics,
religion and racial issues today, because
they will be too hot to handle. People are
opinionated and intense.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Today the Moon is in your sign opposing
big daddy Pluto, which means emotional
confrontation with others is highly possible. Whatever happens seems to really
matter and gets you where you live.
Make sure you know what’s happening
regarding shared property, debt and inheritances in order to avoid an argument
today. If you keep an open mind, a better
solution is possible.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Something hidden or behind the scenes
might be revealed today. This is a good day
to do serious, focused research, because
Emotions are stifled today; in fact, jealousy
is likely. Knowing this, don’t overreact with
anyone. Maintain your cool, and avoid
Dear Heloise: I have one more
sure way to avoid stinging/tearing eyes when chopping
onions: I put a small, personal

fun, bright colors, so it looks
good on the counter! -- Rita,

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Machinery might break down today, and
this could affect your job. Even communication can break down, which could lead to
arguments. Be tactful and cooperative.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)
Don’t be pushy with romantic partners
today. And likewise, don’t be too pushy
with children and young people. Just let
this intense moment pass. You don’t have
to convince anyone of anything.
YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent
financial savvy. You are active and lively.
You can charm your way into or out of
anything. This is the year you have been

significant as what occurred around 2006.
It’s time to test your wings!

Students build paralyzed vet new home
LOS ANGELES (TNS) — Jerral
Hancock is trying to squeeze into his
8-year-old daughter’s bedroom, but his
electric wheelchair won’t fit through
the doorway.
The door frames and walls are
scuffed and scratched from his chair
trying to make the tight spaces in the
Lancaster mobile home. He gives up
and backs away slowly, rubber wheels
bumping against the wall. Eleven-yearold Julius’ toy-cluttered bedroom sits
catty-corner to Anastasia’s. He doesn’t
even try to go in there.
“This isn’t what I saw myself coming
home to when I was out there, I can
tell you that,” Hancock says, his voice
husky.
Eight years ago, Hancock was a specialist with the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division. He was driving an M1 Abrams
tank outside Baghdad when it hit a
roadside bomb that pierced the 70-ton
vehicle’s steel armor.
Shrapnel wedged into his spine,
paralyzing him from the chest down.
Flames “cooked off” his left arm, the
one with the Los Angeles Dodgers tattoo, and it would have to be amputated
at the shoulder.
It was May 29, 2007 — his 21st
birthday.
Anastasia, a charmer with her daddy’s brown eyes, was born three weeks
before the blast. The first time Hancock
met the “baby of the burn unit,” he was
propped up in a hospital bed, pale and
skinny, covered in burn wraps.
Anastasia slips into the living room
as Hancock tells the story. She’s all
blond hair and sass, an extrovert who
grew up in hospital waiting rooms
cheering up adults.
She puts her head on her dad’s chest
and wraps her arms around his shirtless, scarred torso.
In her classroom at Lancaster High
School, Jamie Goodreau tries to teach
her students that history is a living
thing, that they can be part of it.
A soft-spoken woman with kind eyes
and a big smile, Goodreau requires her
students to create projects that give
back to the community. One year, they
organized a 1940s-style airport hangar
dance, hired a swing band and raised
more than $10,000 to restore a World
War II B-17 bomber.
When her students found out the
Antelope Valley had no Armed Forces
Day celebration, they created one. For
more than a decade, they’ve hosted an
annual dinner called Pride of the Nation. It was there, in 2013, that they
met Hancock and his children.
Hancock had been given a hero’s
welcome when he came home wounded. He was grand marshal of the Veterans Day parade. Lancaster hung a
light-pole banner with his photo under
the words “Hometown Hero.” But privately, he was struggling.
He came to speak to Goodreau’s
history class, on his 27th birthday,
and opened up about his life after
war. There was the physical agony.
The nightmares about burning in that
tank. The post-traumatic stress disorder playing out in a noisy mobile home
park.
Hancock’s wife left him and the kids.
His mother and stepfather became his
full-time caretakers, living across the
street. Sometimes, when he forgot to
ask someone to turn the lights off before bed, he’d just sleep with the lights
on, too embarrassed and angry to have
to call his parents or wake the kids to
turn them off for him.
Hancock wasn’t much older than
the students, who were stunned by his
struggles.
“It broke my heart inside,” student
Nicole Skinner said. “I thought I knew
war was bad, but wow.”
The students wanted to help. So, the
next day, with a quick classroom vote,
they made a radical decision: They
were going to build Hancock a new
house.
Goodreau’s students dubbed themselves OATH — Operation All The
Way Home. They spent the summer
hawking dog tags, T-shirts, coffee
mugs. They passed donation buckets
at Lancaster Jethawks baseball games
and formed “bucket brigades” outside
Wal-Mart. They had pizza nights, flap-
jack fundraisers, yard sales.
Pretty soon, people all over the Antelope Valley “took the OATH.” Inmates at the California State Prison in
Lancaster even chipped in with an art
fundraiser, selling paintings and handmade jewelry. After word got out about
what the students were doing and how
much they had already raised, actor
Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band put
on a benefit concert in Lancaster.
OATH raised $170,000 in under
a year; by the end of the second year,
more than $350,000 in cash had been
raised. They bought a three-acre property in Palmdale, on a quiet lot on a
dirt road, with mountain views and big
Joshua trees.
The real estate agent waived her
commission. Local architects drew
up the blueprints for free and taught
the teens how to go about building a
house, how to take bids on the work,
how to take out a mortgage.
Ten months after Hancock spoke
to the class, Goodreau’s white Dodge
pickup truck pulls up to the Los Angeles County Building and Safety building in Lancaster, and teenagers pile out
of the back seat. It’s time to get a construction permit for Hancock’s house.
Goodreau — whom the kids call
Mama G — herds the teenagers into
the quiet, white-tiled county office.
“Inside voices!” she yells, grinning. “Sorry, we’re excited,” she whispers apologetically to a county staffer
caught off-guard by the rowdy group
in jeans and sneakers. “I’ll be like a
crazy mom, taking pictures.”
This title of town hero has been an
awkward fit for a quiet, sardonic soldier who has spent the years since his
injury getting tattoos over his scars.
A tank on his chest. A flaming Purple
Heart on his neck. The Japanese symbol for warrior on his cheek. The words
“Ride or Die” on his right arm, which
was left so weak he can’t drink a bottle
of water without someone lifting it to
his mouth.
The kids raising the money should
be getting the praise, he says, not him.
“I’m not big on being in the spot-
light,” he says, a few months after the
project began. Strangers have started
coming up to him in public, thanking him for his service, giving him fist
bumps on his weak right hand. They
quietly hand him cash, apologizing if
they missed OATH events. He feels
guilty when he’s down, with all they’re
doing for him.
A few days after the students get the
building permits, Hancock is in his
home, where there are photos everywhere of the baby-faced soldier in his
Army fatigues: hair cropped, smoking a cigarette in the desert, mugging
for the camera with the unmistakable
swagger of a teenage soldier. He was 18
when he joined the Army. He’d tested
out of high school, smart but bored,
and become a father.
“I was trying to figure something
out, working part time and sleeping on
my mom’s floor with a kid,” he says. “I
felt like a bum.”
A buddy called and said he was
joining the Army. Hancock went to
a recruiter the next week. He wanted
something better for his son, and this
was his chance.
On May 6, 2014, the students break
ground on the property, where they’re
also building a house for Hancock’s
mom and stepfather, Stacie and Dirrick
Benjamin. It’s a community celebration: dozens of residents, young and
old, some of them clutching American
flags.
An older man spots Hancock and
grins.
“Jerral, brother, how are you, sir?”
“Still breathing. Can’t complain.”
Goodreau is emotional as the crowd
grows. “What a journey,” she says into
a microphone on a stage set up between
two construction trucks. The students
“were determined to run a marathon at
spring speed because Jerral had been
in that house for six years, and they
thought six years was too long.”
Kaelyn Edwards, 17, smiles at Hancock from the microphone.
“We gave up the summer of our senior year,” she says, “but Jerral’s sacrifice was bigger.”

— In the end, the Warriors left no doubt.
The Warriors, a complete and consistent team
experiencing a dream
season, crushed the
Cleveland Cavaliers on
Tuesday with a methodical 105-97 win in Game
6 of the NBA Finals and
found themselves at the
pinnacle celebrating a
new title.
These Warriors can
now be called NBA

upon all season long.

Goldberg struggles in
big loss to Monarchs
By JAKE DOWLING
Sports Editor
CELINA — Who
knew a one-win team
could thoroughly beat a
one-loss team?
The Monarchs showed
that it can be done Tuesday night in a decisive
10-3 victory against the
Mariners in Great
Lakes
Summer
Intercollegiate
League action.
Things went
bad early for
Mariners (5-2)
starter Todd Goldberg, who lasted just two
innings allowing six runs
– all earned – on seven
hits, including two home
runs.
“He (Goldberg) didn’t
have his curve ball tonight, that was basically
it,” said Grand Lakes
manager Sam Slavik.
“They hit him hard. It
was just a good day to hit
today with the warmer
air and the wind blowing
out.”
Lake Erie’s (2-7) Dazon Cole started the
night off with a solo shot
to right-center field on the
second pitch of the game.
It didn’t get any easier for
Goldberg who walked
the next two batters setting up a
perfect opportunity for Mark
Skonieczny who
belted a deep ball
to left-center field, giving the Monarchs a commanding 4-0 advantage
to lead the game off.
In the second inning,
Cole struck again with
an RBI double to score
in Luke DeVenney and
Ross Haffey scored in
Kevin Sullivan on an
RBI single, extending the
Monarchs’ lead, 6-0.
The Mariners had a
perfect chance to get
back into the game and
break up the shutout in
the bottom half of the
fourth inning with hothitting leadoff man Aaron Bence up to the plate
with the bases loaded
and two down.
However, Monarchs’
starting pitcher Cam
Wysocki got out of that
situation by jamming
Bence and grounding
him out to short.
“We just weren’t aggressive tonight,” Slavik
said. “He (Wysocki) was
throwing his fastballs
tonight and we weren’t
ready for him. We have
to do a better job — especially early in the
game — we have done a
good job of jumping on
guys right away, but they
jumped on us with a big
lead and we kind of fell

Finals
From Page B1
“This is just what it’s all
about.”
Finals MVP Andre
Iguodala, whose insertion in the starting lineup turned around the
series, also had 25. Draymond Green, notched
a triple-double with 16
points, 11 rebounds and
10 assists.
Even on a night when
sidekick Klay Thompson
was held to five points
and fouled out, the
Warriors could not be
stopped.
“We’ve got a team full
of believers,” Iguodala
said.
The Warriors clinched
the championship with
a decisive victory much
like the ones they had all
through a 67-win regular
season.
The Warriors dominated the first quarter
and led 28-15, with Iguodala starting in the
Warriors’ small lineup
and serving as the sparkplug.
This time, the Cavaliers kept Timofey
Mozgov in the game to
guard Iguodala, who
missed his first three attempts with the 7-foot-1
center daring him to
shoot before finding his
rhythm.
Iguodala hit three of
his next four jump shots,
including a 3-pointer
that started an 8-0 run
to finish the quarter.
Festus Ezeli had a dunk,
and Harrison Barnes was
good from long distance
to put the Cavaliers’
backs against the wall.
The Cavaliers committed a whopping nine
turnovers in the quarter,
including three shotclock violations in the
first eight minutes.
When James Jones hit
three free throws and
James then beat the shot
clock with a 3-pointer to
start the second quarter, Leandro Barbosa
responded with a shot
from beyond the arc of
his own.
James, who started the
game 2-for-6 from the
field while being guarded
by Iguodala, kept coming. He hit a 3-pointer to
start an 8-2 run that cut
the Warriors’ lead to 4543 at halftime.
The Warriors gave
major minutes to Shaun
Livingston after Iguodala committed his third
foul, as he took on the
defensive assignment
against James. Barbosa
also played as much in
the first half.
As Mozgov protected
the paint and Green battled him inside, the Warriors had difficulty scoring inside. They started
missing jump shots too
with Thompson out of
the game and were 6-for22 from the field in the
quarter. The Cavaliers
crawled back into the
game by dominating the
glass and causing foul
trouble.
James had 15 points
and eight rebounds,
Tristan Thompson had
11 points and seven rebounds and Mozgov had
seven point and nine rebounds by halftime.
Mozgov and Tristan
Thompson scored consecutive baskets to start
the third and give the
Cavaliers the lead briefly,
but Barnes hit his third
3-pointer of the game to
put the Warriors back on
top. Iguodala had a dunk,
and Green hit a 3-pointer to give the Warriors a
53-47 lead.
The Warriors ran
away from the Cavaliers,
pushing the ball in transition off missed shots
and turnovers. Livingston scored on a layup
after catching an outlet
pass from Green. Then
Curry himself grabbed a
rebound and sprinted the
other way before feeding
Iguodala for a dunk that
made it 61-51.
Festus Ezeli, who got
the minutes over center
Andrew Bogut, completed an alley-oop dunk
and then threw down
a vicious put-back for a
3-point play that pushed
the lead to 14 points.
Two more free throws
made it seven straight
Warriors points for

Cleveland Cavaliers fans look on as the Golden State Warriors’ Draymond

Green scored inside
again and flexed as the
Warriors led 73-58. The
Warriors entered the
game 57-0 when leading by at least 15 points,
and there was never a
chance they would ever
let there be a blemish to
that mark.
The Cavaliers scored
seven straight points in
the fourth to cut the lead
to seven, but there was

The Monarchs did add
four more runs in the top
of the seventh inning
off reliever Jake Bartels,
which included a twoout, two-run single by
Cole.
Cole alone killed the
Mariners batting 4-for-6
with four RBIs, a run
scored and a triple shy
of the cycle for the Monarchs Tuesday night.
Skonieczny ended his
night with two hits and
three runs batted in.
As for the Mariners,
they finally got on the
board in the bottom half
of the eighth inning.
With one out and one
on, Mariners’ first baseman Dalton Bollinger
hit a towering two-run
home run. Bench player
Alex Gransback then
scored on a Robert
Greenman single for the
Mariners’ final run of
the game.
Bollinger
batted
3-for-4 with 2 RBIs.
Coming into Tuesday night’s game, the
Monarchs had one win
all season, whereas the
Mariners had dropped
only one game. However,
Goldberg’s struggles on
the mound and the Mariners struggles at the plate
combined for a shocking
win for Lake Erie.
Slavik said the time off
for his team had an effect
with the poor offensive
performance. After a 7-2
win at Galion Saturday
afternoon, the Mariners
arrived back home and
played just three innings
in a 1-0 postponement
due to rain.
“I think that had a little bit of an effect on us,”
he said. “We were hitting
well for the two innings
there (on Sunday) before
it started raining, but
we just didn’t come out
ready to go today.”
The Mariners go on
the road to play the Monarchs at 7:05 p.m. today.
Their next home game is
Thursday against secondplace Xenia.

15-7 victory.
“Delphos Jefferson did
a good job of putting the
bat on the ball especially
to the right side,” Laman
said. “Roop was a little
rusty at first for us but I
think he will straighten
that out. Logan Maze

The Evening Leader
Life
To
Your
Good
Health
Dr. Keith Roach,
M.D.
DEAR
DR.
ROACH: I am looking forward to having my 90-year-old
father-in-law come to
live with us later this
year, but we have a
difference of opinion about his diet.
He maintains that
because he is taking
warfarin, he can have
only occasional salads and limited green
vegetables. It is my
understanding that as
long as his consumption of these foods is
relatively consistent,
they would be fine
additions to his diet
— and would be especially helpful in alleviating his persistent
constipation issues.
Can you discuss this
subject and possibly
resolve our disagreement? — J.E.
ANSWER: Warfarin (Coumadin) blocks
the action of vitamin
K, preventing the formation of active clotting factors. Vitamin
K is found especially
in leafy green vegetables, so it’s the balance of warfarin and
vitamin K intake that
determines how much
of the active clotting
factors are made.
So, you are both
right. He shouldn’t
suddenly increase his
intake of salads and
other greens, as his
INR (the international normalized ratio,
the standard test for
determining clotting
time and effectiveness of warfarin) will
decrease and possibly put him at risk for
blood clots, based on
whatever risk factor
he is taking warfarin
for, such as atrial fibrillation or history
of blood clot.
However, by adjusting his dose, he
can eat reasonable
amounts of healthy
green vegetables, and
get the multitude of
health benefits that
go with them, including improving constipation for many
people. However, he
will have to do so in
a controlled fashion,
with the help of his
doctor to manage the
warfarin.
You are quite right
that consistency is the
key to maintaining an
INR that is effective
at preventing clots
and not so high that
it puts him at risk of
excessive bleeding.

Pratt makes
for offbeat star
(TNS) — Anchoring the record-setting success of
“Jurassic World” is Chris Pratt. Those words have been
written a lot lately, and they don’t feel any less strange
each time out. One of modern Hollywood’s more delicious aspects is its ability to create stars seemingly
overnight. Few have risen faster than Pratt.
Just a couple of years ago, the 35-year-old was
known primarily for his TV roles, especially slacker
Andy Dwyer on “Parks and Recreation.” His cinematic
parts, when he had them, were small turns in big movies like “Moneyball” or bigger turns in small movies,
movies so small they barely came out.
But the last 16 months have been heady for Mr.
Anna Faris, who voiced Emmet Brickowski in “The
Lego Movie,” then appeared as Peter Quill/Star-Lord
in “Guardians of the Galaxy” and, now, as dino-whisperer Owen Grady in “Jurassic World.” Those films
have all been hits — a total of $1.75 billion globally
and counting. But more important, they’ve been overperformers, including “Jurassic” last weekend, which
analysts thought wouldn’t get to $150 million. The
films far surpassed expectations, and Pratt has been
the common element in them all.
The key question is whether Pratt made these hits
as much as they made him. The movies, after all, had
much to buoy them. All were major brands: Lego,
Marvel and “Jurassic Park.”
And all had other factors that drew moviegoers: a
quirky-cool word-of-mouth in the case of the first two
and the whizbang special effects and heavy nostalgia quotient in “Jurassic.” Has Pratt been driving the
train? Or has he been simply lucky enough to board
the right locomotives?
The question can be contemplated in the context of
the leading-man culture into which Pratt has arrived.
Many of the stars who open movies these days come in
a decidedly alpha tradition — a Vin Diesel or a Chris
Evans or a Channing Tatum.
Pratt’s appeal is a more slippery beast. He has enough
swagger to be mentioned in the vicinity of those actors
but also a strain of goofiness that isn’t found in most
modern action heroes. If Pratt, like the others, is not
exactly a subtle craftsman, he possesses enough offbeat appeal to keep things surprising.
Most notably, in the era of Diesel and Tatum, he
isn’t them — a superstar whose star is brighter because
he doesn’t fit the mold, a kind of filmic Stephen Curry.
A number of parallels chart the rise of the actor and
the Golden State Warriors star, not the least of which
is that both weren’t given a lot of quarter early in their
careers. More important, both also have found ways to
use their against-the-grain skills to their advantage.
Pratt’s likably democratic persona and back story
were captured by his famous remarks to his high school
wrestling coach. “I was like, ‘I don’t know,’” he recalled
saying when asked about his life plan. “’But I know I’ll
be famous, and I know I’ll make a ... ton of money.’
“I had no idea how,” he added. (He also, weirdly,
seemed to predict his starring role in “Jurassic World”
years ago when out of the blue he made a quip about a
hypothetical call to him from Steven Spielberg about
the franchise.)
DEAR
ABBY:
Making wise decisions about what to do
with your money can
be tough. Insurance
policies,
mortgages
and investment plans
come with so much
terminology and fine
print. The phone calls,
email messages and
mail offers for products and services are
endless, and some are
downright dishonest.
It seems as if there’s a
scammer — or an opportunity to make the
wrong financial decision — around every
corner.
To help your readers sort out the offers
for products and financial services that
come their way, USA.
gov, the federal government’s
official
website, has created
a free Financial SelfDefense Kit. It contains a dozen publications that explain
how to make solid
investment, shopping
and credit decisions.
And it’s also filled with
advice on protecting
your consumer rights
and recognizing and
avoiding scams — especially those aimed
at seniors.
Abby, thank you for
sharing this empowering kit with your readers. Armed with the
information,
they’ll
be better prepared
and feel more confident facing financial
choices. — SARAH
CRANE, ACTING
DIRECTOR, FEDERAL CITIZEN INFORMATION CENTER
DEAR SARAH:
Frankly, I should be
thanking YOU for giving me the opportunity to share this valuable information with
my readers. I thought
the kit you produced
last year was wonderful, but this one is even
better.
Readers, I was
shocked to read not
long ago in USA Today that almost onethird of American
workers have less than
$1,000 in savings and
investments for retirement.
The reasons for this
vary, but among them
are that people haven’t
estimated how much
money they will need
once they stop working until they are near
retirement, when it’s
too late.
This year’s kit will
be valuable for any of
you with an eye to the
future.
It contains information to help you choose
a financial adviser you
can trust, and determine the difference
between a solid investment and a fraudulent
offer that could cost
you your life savings.

Adult diseases now striking children
(TNS) — Once seen only among an
older population, adult diseases such
as fatty liver disease, hypertension
and osteoporosis are being diagnosed
more and more in children. And you
can add to that sleep apnea, Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol levels. The
culprits? Unhealthy diets and growing
waistlines, experts say.
Recognizing obesity early and appreciating the cardiovascular decline
it can pose for young children has become so important that the American
Academy of Pediatrics established
guidelines and recommendations for
pediatricians, typically not accustomed to seeing the resulting cascade
of health issues in their patients.
“Several studies have shown that
obesity is under recognized by parents
as well as by physicians,” said Dr. Seema
Kumar, pediatric endocrinologist at
the Mayo Clinic Children’s Center.
“Parents in general tend to think they
will outgrow it. ... It also depends on
the ethnic group they’re coming from.
In some cultures, being overweight is
actually a sign of prosperity. So they
may actually not even consider that as
a problem.”
Kumar’s observations ring true
with a study by the New York University Langone Medical Center that was
published online in April in the journal Childhood Obesity. While rates of
childhood obesity have risen over the
last several decades, the study showed,
a vast majority of parents perceive their
kids as “about the right weight.”
Dr. James J. Maciejko, a lipidologist
and director of the Adult and Pediatric Lipid Clinics at St. John Hospital
in Detroit, is concerned by how few
Americans in general understand the
grave dangers of overeating.
Maciejko sees kids eating 3,000
calories a day and reminds them and
their parents that young bodies cannot
handle that load. In general, he said,
pre-pubescent children should be consuming about 2,000 calories per day; if
they are quite active, maybe 200 to 300
calories more. After puberty, most boys
should consume about 2,000 calories a
day and girls about 1,500 to 1,600 daily.
Why? Here’s the list:
Heart disease: With obesity comes
the risk of cardiovascular disease. Developing risk factors in childhood can
greatly increase the likelihood of heart
disease in adulthood. For that reason,
guidelines sponsored by the National
Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, part
of the National Institutes of Health, recommend that all children be screened
for high cholesterol at least once at ages
9 to 11 and again at 17 to 21.
These guidelines are meant to help
health care practitioners prevent or
identify those issues early to minimize
more severe health issues later in life.
Diabetes: Overweight children
can develop “adult-onset” diabetes, or
Type 2, as young as age 8, and the CDC
points out that the loss of insulin sensitivity can develop at any age, especially
among overweight children.
The complications from diabetes are
many: cardiovascular problems, damage to the nerves, kidneys, eyes and
feet, and it can contribute to Alzheimer’s disease.
Hypertension: “There are enough
studies that have shown that ... an overweight child is two to three times more
likely to have high blood pressure compared to a child that is normal weight,”
Kumar said. Hypertension can cause
a range of health problems, from the
heart to the brain to the kidneys.
Fatty liver: Maciejko said he is noticing more children being diagnosed
with hyperlipidemia, or high fat levels
in the blood. Part of the reason simply
may be that doctors now are testing
children for this.
The pediatrics association “now recommends all kids by the age of 9 have
a lipid profile,” he noted. As a result,
when kids come in for their wellness
visit when they’re 9, 10 or 11, the pediatrician orders a cholesterol profile.
“And so, because of that, we’re starting
to identify cholesterol issues in kids,”
he said.
“When a child (or adult) eats excessive amounts of calories (particularly
from refined carbohydrates), the blood
sugar rises,” he explained. “The liver attempts to reduce the blood-sugar level
by taking sugar up from the blood-

stream. The liver converts this extra
sugar to glycogen and stores it. However, when the storage capacity of the liver
is full, the extra sugar the liver takes out

and triglycerides. The fatty acid tends
to accumulate in the liver, causing fatty
liver disease (also called nonalcoholic
steatohepatitis, or NASH), while the
triglycerides are deposited into the
blood, raising the blood triglyceride
level.”
Fatty liver disease can lead to depleted liver function, and the consequence
of high triglycerides is cardiovascular
disease, among other things.
Osteoporosis: Just as important as
what kids are putting into their bodies is what they’re not. Eating disorders
among very young children are contributing to the increase of osteoporosis,
according to Dr. Ellen Rome, head of
the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Center
for Adolescent Medicine and professor
of pediatrics at the Cleveland Clinic
Lerner College of Medicine at Case.
“So many of the problems we see in
adulthood have their roots in childhood,” Rome said. “A classic example is
osteoporosis. That’s now seen as a pediatric disease.”
“If a kid from childhood isn’t get-
ting three calcium or dairy servings a
day with vitamin D, they can, in their
early years, not be putting on the bone
they’re supposed to have put on,” Rome
said. By not depositing bone during
those early years in life, when they’re
supposed to be adding 40 to 60 percent
of their bone mass, they’re increasing
their risk of osteoporosis later in life.
“That means that kid is way behind on
what they should have been depositing in their “bone bank” by the time
they are in their 20s. If they’re five to
10 times lower in their bone density,
they’ve doubled or tripled their fracture risks.”
So those health issues all link to the
diet problem. What can parents do?
Children’s diets should consist of
healthy sources of protein such as lowfat dairy products, lean cuts of meat
and eggs; fresh vegetables and fruit;
and healthy beverages such as water
and skim milk, according to Maciejko.
He advises against excess starch such
as pasta, potatoes and white bread, favoring whole-grain pasta, rye or wholegrain bread and vegetables as replacements. “Of course, the key to avoiding
unhealthy weight gain is moderation
in the consumption of food,” he noted,
“even the healthiest food.”

Get the scoop on pool sanitizers
Many
homeowners
enjoy the
convenience
a
n
d
recreational
value of having
a pool in their backyards. Pools
can be a great spot to gather
on warm days, often serving
as the centerpiece of summer
recreation.
Pools require substantial
upkeep to function properly
and be safe for swimming.
The right combination of
factors are needed to maintain
a proper water balance to
prevent skin and eye irritation
as well as to ensure the water
is clean. Sanitizers play a

significant role in ensuring
that safety.
Various sanitizers are on the
market, although people are
most familiar with chlorinebased sanitizers. The goal
of a sanitizer is to prevent
the growth of bacteria and
algae in pool water. Sanitizers
also will inhibit the growth
of viruses and other organic
contaminants.
First-time homeowners who
have never had a pool may
find it challenging to choose
a sanitizer that will work for
them. Each sanitizer has its
share of pros and cons, but
many homeowners hope to
find one that is both costeffective and convenient.
The following are some of
the sanitizers to consider.
• Liquid chlorine: Sodium
hypochlorite, also known
as bleach, is a common pool
sanitizer. Liquid chlorine
does not have any additives
and will not affect pool water
in any other way except for
providing sanitation. Liquid
chlorine can be cumbersome
to store and splashing the
product while adding it to the
water can damage clothing.
• Cal-hypo: Calcium
hypochlorite is another
sanitizing option for pools.
It is usually sold in granular
form because pucks or sticks
will break down too quickly
in chlorine feeders. Cal-hypo
is often an unstabilized form
of chlorine, which means it
does not have a stabilizing
chemical mixed with it to
prevent chlorine burn-off from
the sun. Depending on your
needs, unstabilized chlorine
can be an asset or a detriment.
• Dichlor and trichlor:
Dichloro-s-triazinetrione
and trichloro-s-triazinetrione
are two different stabilized
chlorine sources. They are
mixed with a substance called
cyanuric acid, which helps
prevent the quick usage of
chlorine in outdoor pools.
Sunlight can reduce the
efficacy of chlorine, and this
stabilizer will help buffer that
effect. Since these chlorine
sources typically come in
pucks or tablets, they can
be placed in feeders and will
deliver consistent chlorine
without daily maintenance.
Trichlor has one of the highest
levels of available chlorine of
all pool sanitizers. However,
one disadvantage is that if the

stabilizer levels build up too
much in the pool, you will
require even more chlorine to
combat this effect, sometimes
creating a cycle of chlorine
ineffectiveness.
• Salt: Salt-cell pools use
a process of electrolysis to
extract chlorine from the
salt added to the specialized
equipment, thus sanitizing
the pool automatically. Some
people prefer salt because
it seems more natural and
requires less maintenance.
• Bromine: Bromine is
similar to chlorine. While
the byproducts of chlorine
do not benefit pool water,
bromine byproducts can
continue to sanitize the
water, making it last longer
than chlorine. Bromine can
be more expensive than
chlorine, which might deter
homeowners looking for
the most cost-effective pool
sanitizer.
Pool water chemistry can
be a complex process. But
homeowners have many
options at their disposal when
it comes time to choose the
right sanitizer.
