the men have reached a tentative agreement. The deal requires a vote by a conference committee of House and Senate
negotiators, and votes in the full House and
Senate.
Miller and Sanders said in a joint statement that they made significant progress
over the weekend toward agreement on
legislation to reform the Veterans Affairs
Department.
The plan is intended to make VA more
accountable and to help the department
recruit more doctors, nurses and other
health care professionals. Miller and
Sanders said.
Few details of the agreement were
released, but the bill is expected to authorize billions in emergency spending to lease
new 27 clinics, hire more doctors and nurses and make it easier for veterans who cant
get prompt appointments with VA doctors to
get outside care.
Sanders proposed a bill last week that
would cost about $25 billion over three
years. Miller countered with a plan to
approve $10 billion in emergency spending,
with a promise of more spending in future
years under the normal congressional budget process.
Millers bill would keep most of the
provisions in a Senate-passed bill and
would authorize about $100 million for

DELPHOS It has been
quite a year for NOVFA Queen
Corinne Metzger. Since winning her crown in June 2013,
Metzger has been busy attending Northwest Ohio Volunteer
Firefighters Association events
with local firefighters.
I had a great year with
the guys and representing
them at functions, Metzger
said. They treated me like a
queen.
Metzger was there for the
team during the golf outing,
which she describes as an
experience.
I had to dodge a few golf
balls that day, she said with a
laugh. I kept my head down.
She also gave pep talks to
the teams during the annual
softball outing and took one
for the team during a bowling
match.

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

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

LIMA Catholic Health Partners (CHP), the
parent healthcare system of St. Ritas Medical
Center, has changed its name to Mercy Health. The
systems name change is part of a Ministry evolution to one unified team, focused on high-quality
care, increased efficiencies and lower patient costs.
Mercy Health is Ohios largest health system and
fourth-largest employer.
Our new name is a symbol of the new way
we are working together to improve the health
of the communities we serve, said Michael D.
Connelly, Mercy Healths president and CEO. It
is a key component of our vision to empower those
we serve to achieve their optimal well-being and
health, and to maximize our quality and cost efficiency by simplifying our structure. This approach
to serving and healing demonstrates our commitment to making health care easier as our more than
1,000 physicians and 32,000 employees strive to
make lives better - mind, body and spirit - to help
our patients be well.
The system already operates under the Mercy
name in five of its current seven markets, including markets serving Cincinnati, Toledo, Lorain,
Springfield and Paducah, Kentucky.
Over the next several years, the Mercy Health
name will be phased into all system facilities,
including St. Ritas Medical Center. This allows
patients to retain the trust, confidence and security
they currently have in physician, hospital and outpatient facilities that have served their communities
for more than a century.
In addition, the Ministrys website will change
to mercy.com.

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

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature

Washington from Montreal in 2005.
Fister has won his last four starts and is

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

renewals may backfire
SANDY COHEN

WASHINGTON If you
have health insurance on your
job, you probably don't give
much thought to each year's
renewal. But make the same
assumption in one of the new
health law plans, and it could
lead to costly surprises.
Insurance exchange customers who opt for convenience by
automatically renewing their
coverage for 2015 are likely
to receive dated and inaccurate financial aid amounts from
the government, say industry
officials, advocates and other
experts.
If those amounts are too low,
consumers could get sticker
shock over their new premiums.
Too high, and they'll owe the tax
man later.
Automatic renewal was supposed to make the next openenrollment under President
Barack Obama's health care

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