Energy deregulation has been the subject of many letters and phone calls received by those in this region over the past several months. Local governments are no exception to that. It seems on a weekly basis that residents receive a letter promising them a lower rate on the electric bill if they will switch to this company or that company. While some people are taking advantage of those offers, many people remain confused by exactly what it means. Deregulation is what allows individuals, businesses and governments to choose a different provider for electric generation. This allows competition among providers to ensure the best available rates. In Ohio, that goes one step further, with aggregation. Aggregation is when a group of customers — such as a village — comes together to have greater buying power. This often results in a better rate for the customers. During their most recent meeting, members of Pomeroy Village Council and Racine Village Council discussed the possibility of saving village residents on their electric bills through an aggregation program. When a village chooses to pursue governmental aggregation, they can choose one of two options, either opt-in aggregation or opt-out aggregation. According to Lauren Smalley of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, who spoke at the Racine Village Council meeting on Monday, often the rate is lower with opt-out aggregation, as more people will participate than in the opt-in aggregation.

President Barack Obama has long made it clear that he favors a foreign policy of consultation and negotiation, but not intervention, in the persistent and mostly violent upheavals across the Mideast. And he appears determined not to deviate this week even to help reverse turbulence in Egypt, one of the United States’ most important Arab allies. The administration is “very concerned about what we’re seeing on the ground, and we do realize, of course, that is an extremely tense and fast-moving situation in Egypt,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday. “We think that all sides need to engage with each other and need to listen to the voices of the Egyptian people, and what they are calling for, and peacefully protesting about. And that’s a message we’ve conveyed at all levels to all sides.” Hundreds of thousands of protesters deluged Tahrir Square in Cairo, waving flags in a sort of a celebratory vigil as the powerful Egyptian military appeared poised to overthrow President Mohammed Morsi over his hard-line Islamist policies. Though the U.S. has offered strong suggestions to ease the tensions — tied to billions of dollars in U.S. aid — the Obama administration is stopping short of demanding that Morsi take specific steps, even though the Egyptian president had ample opportunities to promise solutions over the last two days. Officials in Washington and Cairo said Wednesday there are no plans for U.S. military intervention in Egypt, although a unit of about 500 Marines remain on standby in the nearby Red Sea, where it has been stationed for some time. The hands-off approach has earned the U.S. scorn from many Egyptians, camped out at the site of Egypt’s Arab Spring revolution two years ago, who believe the American Embassy in Cairo is siding with Morsi. One protester, an ultraconservative member of the Salafist movement who would only identify himself as Amr, accused the U.S. of “only looking after their interests.” “They will only bet on the winning horse,” he said late Tuesday in Tahrir, which means “liberation” in Arabic. Psaki steered clear of directly criticizing Morsi on Wednesday but noted he could have answered the Egyptian public’s concerns in comments Tuesday and Wednesday, “and he did not take the opportunity to do that.” It should come as little surprise that Obama, who is grappling with a recovering economy, a war-weary public at home and diminished U.S. status as a global superpower abroad, would not wade into foreign conflicts. Obama campaigned by promising to end the war in Iraq, which he did in 2011; he now plans to withdraw most, if not all, U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the end of next year and inevitably will face pitched pleas from Kabul to reconsider as the deadline nears. U.S. polls indicate that two-thirds of Americans have opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. U.S. polls indicate that twothirds of Americans have opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “The burdens of a young century cannot fall on American shoulders alone,” Obama wrote in his 2010 National Security Strategy. “Indeed, our adversaries would like to see America sap our strength by overextending our power.” Despite pressure from some in Congress and allies abroad, the Obama administration refused until last month to give weapons to Syrian rebels who have been battling for more than two years to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad. The arms — a tepid show of guns, ammunition and shoulder-fired anti-tank grenades — only came after U.S. intelligence concluded that Assad had used chemical weapons against his own people. Other Sunni-dominated Mideast nations, most notably Qatar, have provided heavier weapons to help the rebels beat back Iranian forces and aid that is flowing to Assad’s regime. An estimated 93,000 people have been killed in the fighting. Rebel commanders have been underwhelmed by the U.S. support, saying they need enough firepower to stop Assad from using chemical weapons again, and to stop his tanks and heavy artillery. The Free Syrian Army, which is made up of some opposition forces, also wants allies to establish a no-fly zone over Syria to prevent Assad’s superior air power from crushing the rebels or killing civilians. The White House is, at best, highly reluctant to create such a territory over which warring aircraft are not allowed to fly. The U.S. and international allies have enforced them in several military conflicts over the past two decades. Even American officials say the help to Syria is not enough. The light weapons are “clearly not only insufficient, it’s insulting,” said Sen. John McCain, a leading Republican proponent of taking a bigger military role in Syria. McCain and several other hawkish Republicans also have criticized Obama for withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq, where violence has dramatically escalated since their departure 18 months ago. The Obama administration agreed to the longstanding 2011 withdrawal deadline, which was set by the Republican administration of President George W. Bush, after negotiations fell through to keep some U.S. forces in Iraq. But American officials involved in the negotiations have blamed the White House for making only a weak effort to keep troops in the country and being all too happy when the Shiite-led government in Baghdad refused to let them stay. Despite nearly nine years of war that aimed to stabilize Iraq — during which nearly 4,500 U.S. troops were killed and about $800 billion in taxpayer money was spent — near-daily bombings and other attacks continue. And the White House rarely, if ever, discusses Iraq except to pat itself on the back for leaving. In June alone, 761 Iraqis were killed and nearly 1,800 wounded in terror-related violence, the U.N. envoy in Baghdad said in a statement this week. Comparatively, that’s about twice as many killed in the deadliest month of 2011 before the American troops left, according to data from the British-based Iraq Body Count. Tamara Cofman Wittes, who served as deputy assistant secretary of state from late 2009 until early this year, said the White House cannot afford to take its eye off the Mideast even as Obama tries to refocus on Asia and Africa. Even so, the administration’s strategy in the Mideast may be a not-so-subtle reminder that the U.S. is no longer willing — or able — to play either world policeman or peacekeeper. “One of the things that many Americans questioned in the wake of the experience of Iraq and Afghanistan is whether the United States in fact can be successful in stabilizing unstable parts of the world,” Wittes, now director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institute think tank, said Tuesday. “The Obama administration has set itself the task not only of closing the chapter on a decade defined by two wars and reorienting not only America and its expectations for its role in the world, but reorienting other countries’ expectations for the role America will play,” she said. Balance of grief, Macabre Mandela feud: patriotism in Prescott Rebury bodies, court says who filled the Prescott High School football stadium for Tuesday’s vigil. Nineteen balloons — one for each of the fallen — were released into the air. “People need a reason to celebrate,” he said. “They need to know that life is going to get back to normal.” But the town is still hurting. There’s a saying here that if someone dies in Prescott, you either know the person or know someone who did. That rings especially true for the Granite Mountain Hotshot fire crew, who were at the apex of Prescott’s thriving firefighting community. At least five of those killed graduated from Prescott High School. Until Sunday, the quaint town was home to two of Arizona’s 18 highly qualified Hotshot crews. That was a point of pride among residents, who trace their links to local firefighters through dense networks of cousins and in-laws. “There’s a lot of people who grow up and want to be firefighters here,” said Prescott native Ryan Philips, who worked as a Hotshot for three years. Numerous state and federal forestry workers call Prescott home, while firefighters from all over the country flock here for training at the annual Arizona Wildfire Academy at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The town abuts 1.25 million acres of national forest in an area that sees its share of wildland blazes. A week before the Hotshot men were killed, crews fighting another fire turned the Prescott High baseball field into a tent city. Bursting with Americana, Prescott is a deeply patriotic, religious town where even teenage boys sing “Amazing Grace” in their full voices. Tourism blossoms in this one-time territorial capital of Arizona during the summer, when suffocating city-slickers flee Phoenix and Tucson for Prescott’s relatively verdant embrace. Retirees are also drawn by the milder weather and oldtime atmosphere. Relics of the Old West decorate the windows of antique shops and galleries. The picturesque courthouse plaza is lined with Arizona state flags, all at half-staff now. Friends have been getting together for impromptu memorials at the halfdozen bars along Whiskey Row, where outlaws Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday once got liquored up, according to local legend. A 10-minute walk away, a steady stream of mourners has covered the fence around the Hotshots’ headquarters with notes, photos, drawings and flags. Many of the men’s trucks are still parked there. This week, the town is also filled with evacuees from Yarnell, 32 miles southwest of Prescott, where the fire that claimed so many lives also destroyed as many as 200 homes. Their drawn faces mix with those of the bereaved at town meetings and daily memorials, where officials have begun protecting them with a perimeter of caution tape and security guards. For better or worse, the tragedy happened at the start of the biggest week of the year for Prescott and its tourism industry. The 126th annual World’s Oldest Rodeo, which always coincides with the Fourth of July holiday, runs through Sunday. The event dates to territorial times, when Arizona was an emerging copper and cattle producer. JOHANNESBURG (AP) — In a macabre family feud fought as Nelson Mandela remained in critical condition, a South African court ruled Wednesday that the former president’s grandson must return the bodies of the 94-year-old’s three deceased children to their original burial site. Mandela is in “perilous” condition and on life support, according to an affidavit filed Friday and made public in the ruling Wednesday, according to a South African newspaper. The judge’s order means that grandson Mandla Mandela must reverse the action he took in 2011, when he moved the bodies from Mandela’s hometown in Qunu to his birthplace of Mvezo, about 25 kilometers (15 miles) away. Mandla Mandela has authority in Mvezo as a tribal chief and has plans to create a Mandela shrine, hotel and soccer stadium there. The case has sparked a wide discussion here about family relations and inheritance. Mandela, who was imprisoned for 27 years, remained in critical condition in the hospital Wednesday. He was admitted June 8 with a lung infection. South Africa’s anti-apartheid hero said he wanted to be buried in Qunu and attended the burial of his son at the family plot there in 2005. “It’s an issue of greed, and everyone needs to be quite clear about that,” said Charlene Smith, the author of three books on the former president, including “Mandela: In Celebration of a Great Life.” “Although he’s been able to bring reconciliation to South Africa, he has this warring family,” Smith said of Mandela. “He hasn’t been able to bring peace at home.” The family divisions became public this week when 15 Mandela members, including wife Graca Machel, pressed a court case to order Mandla Mandela to return the bodies to Qunu. The judge ordered the bodies to be reburied Wednesday afternoon, and a hearse entered the Mvezo compound shortly after the verdict. The Mail and Guardian newspaper obtained the affidavit that said Mandela’s health is “perilous” and that a life support machine is helping him breathe. The court filing said the family members want to bury Mandela in earth “in which his descendant’s remains lie.” The affidavit filed by daughter Makaziwe Mandela shows the family believes Mandla Mandela is trying to force the burial of Mandela in Mvezo for financial gain. Mandla Mandela said in a statement Wednesday that he is not against the repatriation of the bodies and will abide by the court decision. But his legal team contends that the graves cannot be exhumed until an appeal to rescind the order is heard. The case pitted the Mandela family members against Mandla Mandela, who argued that as the family’s eldest male he is entitled to move the graves. Upping the ante in the feud, a Mandela family member pressed criminal charges Tuesday against Mandla for tampering with a grave. Freedom feels Great Celebrate loud and proud, and have a happy and safe Fourth of July. 60431490 PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — The notoriously rambunctious annual rodeo contest in Prescott added a solemn new ritual this week: a cowboy leading a riderless horse around the outdoor arena, a fire helmet sitting on its saddle, fire boots resting in the stirrups. Spectators in this Old West town of 40,000 placed straw hats over hearts and cried quietly during the tribute to the 19 firefighters who were killed over the weekend, then went on to drink, laugh and cheer as heartily as the miners and ranchers who patronized the arena in the 1800s. Emotional whiplash has become a matter of course here as residents try to move on and enjoy the biggest tourism week of the year, while also mourning the men who were the town’s pride. The famous saloons on Whiskey Row continue to hum, the Fourth of July fireworks show is going on as usual, and attendance is holding steady at the weeklong “World’s Oldest Rodeo” event, even as memorials proliferate on Prescott’s elm-lined streets and relatives fly in for funerals. “It’s not going to do anyone any good just sitting in the house. I think it’s more important to spend time with people than anything else,” said financial planner Andrew Secundy, who cut loose at the rodeo on Monday night and mourned at a twilight vigil on Tuesday. A mile-high city about 90 miles northwest of Phoenix, Prescott remains a modern-day outpost of the pioneer spirit, a place where rootin’ tootin’ cowboys still have a foothold. It’s that spirit that will guide officials as they navigate the days ahead and figure out how to honor the elite Hotshot firefighters who died Sunday in a nearby wind-driven wildfire that is still burning, said Prescott Fire Marshal Don Devendorf. “The people on the range, on ranches, they did whatever they could do. It wasn’t money, but it was love, it was caring, it was sweat,” Devendorf said as he walked among thousands of mourners Call 740.992.3381 or visit simmonsmusserwarner.com 60428619 �Opinion The Daily Sentinel Page 4 Thursday, July 4, 2013 Traffic cameras bring tiny Ohio village to a stop Dan Sewell The Associated Press ELMWOOD PLACE, Ohio — This little village had a big problem. Each day, thousands of cars — sometimes as many as 18,000 — rolled along Elmwood Place’s streets, crossing the third-of-amile town to get to neighboring Cincinnati or major employers in bustling suburbs or heavily traveled Interstate 75. Many zipped by Elmwood Place’s modest homes and small businesses at speeds well above the 25 mph limit. Bedeviled by tight budgets, the police force was undermanned. The situation, villagers feared, was dangerous. Then the cameras were turned on, and all hell broke loose. Like hundreds of other U.S. communities big and small, Elmwood Place hired an outside company to install cameras to record traffic violations and mail out citations. In the first month after the cameras began operating, late last year, 6,600 tickets went out — more than triple the village’s population. Before some unsuspecting drivers realized it, they had racked up multiple $105 citations they would learn about when their mail arrived weeks later. Some 70 parishioners, or more than half the congregation at Our Lady of Lavang Catholic Community Church, were ticketed on one Sunday last September. Soon, there was a Facebook page promoting a boycott of the village, a petition drive against cameras, and a lawsuit against the village that threatened to wreck Elmwood Place financially. Four council members resigned. And an atmosphere of distrust and uneasiness hung over a village that traced its roots back to the 19th century, before traffic cameras or even automotive traffic. “I think Elmwood Place tried to do something, but maybe not in the right way,” said Catherine Jones, who brought a chair and small table out of her namesake Southern-style restaurant on a recent afternoon and sat in the sun as she read her Bible and wrote out notes about the verses. Just last year, she recalled, a pedestrian was hit and killed a couple blocks from her restaurant, near an elementary school. So she understood that something had to be done. But now she is among many small business owners worried that the cameras have given the village a speed-trap stigma. Few things will rile citizens quicker than getting tickets in the mail, along with photos of their vehicles under a red light. The letters usually inform them they will not be assessed traffic violation “points”; nor will their insurance company be contacted. But they must pay up, or face a collection agency and damage to their credit ratings. Supporters of camera enforcement say they stretch law enforcement resources, and they usually result in safer driving and thus save lives. Opponents see cameras giving governments a way to grab more money from taxpayer pockets, putting local policing in the hands of remote, for-profit companies, and taking society another step toward an Orwellian state of constant surveillance for misbehavior. In Arizona, where two large photo enforcement companies are based, red-light and speed enforcement cameras have been a matter of contention for years. Gov. Jan Brewer scuttled a state program that put speed-enforcement cameras on freeways and interstates in 2010 when a contract expired; efforts to ban the devices used by many cities and towns are a yearly fixture in the Legislature. In February, San Diego followed Los Angeles and Pasadena in dropping traffic camera citations; the mayor said they bred disrespect for the law because residents believed they were meant to make money, not reduce accidents. Legislation to require communities to get state permits before installing traffic cameras stalled this year in Iowa, while a group called Stop Big Brother has been trying to head off cameras in Iowa City. There are 12 states that ban speed cameras, and nine prohibit red-light cameras. Yet despite the critics and complaints, camera use is growing overall. The New York state legislature this month approved installing speed cameras in New York City school zones. Communities with traffic cameras, or automated enforcement, have increased more than fivefold across the country in less than a decade, with red-light cameras in 530 municipalities and speeding cameras in 125, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. “There is Zeitgeist in the country right now on privacy concerns, concerns about intru- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

That group and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, an Arlington, Va.-based nonprofit organization funded by auto insurers, say studies show cameras result in a reduction of fatal crashes caused by red light-running, and in reduced speeding in pedestrian-sensitive areas such as school zones. “What we’ve seen from the field is red light cameras and safety cameras are both important tools in the safety tool box,” Adkins said, adding that they should complement, not replace, law enforcement and should be focused on safety, not boosting budgets. Holly Calhoun doesn’t believe they were about safety in her hardscrabble village. “Elmwood was just doing it because they needed money,” said the manager of Elmwood Quick Mart, which offers phone cards, lottery tickets and Mexican food, and advertises its willingness to accept food stamps. “People couldn’t afford those tickets,” Calhoun said. “They can barely afford to pay their bills. It was pretty sad.” Settled by German farmers and laborers who came up from Appalachian Kentucky, Elmwood Place was incorporated in 1890. Like many “inner-ring” American suburbs, it hit its peak many decades ago. Older residents recall bucolic times of moonlit concerts and tire swings hanging from backyard trees. But outsourcing of blue-collar work made life tougher for many residents, and the village’s incomes and housing values fell well below statewide averages. Housing stock deteriorated to the point where you can buy a two-bedroom fixer-upper for less than $60,000. When William Peskin joined the police force in 1998, there were nine officers. Now the police chief is the only full-time law enforcement officer left. He said concerns grew after accidents around the elementary school; village officials looked into traffic cameras and became convinced that they were the most practical way to make the village safer. Cameras at the village limits and in the school zone dramatically curtailed speeding once citations started going out, Peskin said. From 20,000 speeders clocked in a two-week trial peri- od last summer, the number soon dropped to a quarter of that. Former county prosecutor Mike Allen filed a lawsuit against the town. Among the plaintiffs: the Rev. Chau Pham, who said church attendance dropped by a third after that Sunday when so many congregants — including him — were ticketed; David Downs, owner of St. Bernard Polishing for 25 years, who said long-time customers had vowed to shop elsewhere because they had been ticketed; and a Habitat for Humanity worker who was cited four times. “Elmwood Place is engaging in nothing more than a hightech game of three-card monte,” Judge Robert P. Ruehlman wrote March 7 in a colorful opinion that has heartened camera foes across the country. “It is a scam that the motorists can’t win.” The judge said the village was on pace to assess $2 million in six months (the village’s annual budget is $1.3 million). Marylandbased Optotraffic, owner and operator of the photo enforcement system in return for 40 percent of revenue, had already reaped $500,000 in about four months. Used words such as “scheme,” ”sham,” ”stacked,” and “total disregard for due process,” Ruehlman declared the village’s photoenforcement ordinance invalid and unenforceable. Elmwood Place is appealing, and believes it has the law on its side. “It’s unfortunate that the judge doesn’t see it as a safety issue,” Peskin said. Ohio courts have upheld camera enforcement in some of the state’s biggest cities as a legitimate exercise of local government power; the Ohio Supreme Court heard arguments in 2008 on the city of Akron’s speeding cameras and approved them. Akron began its program in 2005 after a 5-year-old child was killed. Some 3,000 citations in the first few weeks elicited public outcry, and then a lawsuit filed by attorney Warner Mendenhall after his wife Kelly was ticketed. Mendenhall said he found in his research that camera enforcement is often inconsistently carried out, the cameras aren’t always accurate, and that in many places, they are clearly used as a revenue booster. Steve Fallis, the city’s assistant law director, said Akron uses the cameras only in school zones, and motorists have visual warnings they are in use.

Elmwood Place charged $25 Mendenhall, whose wife’s ticket was tossed out by the city when she appealed a lack of signage at the time, isn’t convinced the legality has been settled. Maybe, he said, Elmwood Place will be the launching pad for the challenge that gets the matter to a higher authority. “To have this patchwork quilt of laws … I really would hope that someone would take this on up to (U.S). Supreme Court,” Mendenhall said. Recently, passions in Elmwood Place have cooled a bit. At a June council meeting, fewer than a dozen people turned out. Taking a cigarette break out back, Mayor Stephanie Morgan talked briefly and reluctantly about the controversy, which she described as “challenging.” She defended the cameras. “The speeding was just horrible,” Morgan said. But asked whether her constituents agree that cameras were the best solution, the 39-year-old lifelong resident repeated the question aloud and said: “You’ll have to ask them.” Bill Wilson, 43, is running for village council in the fall election. He returned to Elmwood Place after living in southwest Florida for 20 years; there, he said, red-light cameras, speeding cameras, accident cameras and crime security cameras are commonplace. “You get accustomed to it,” Wilson said. In Elmwood Place, the cameras didn’t last long enough for anyone to grow accustomed to them. But apparently, they lasted longer than folks realized: On Thursday, Judge Ruehlman found that the camera company had continued to mail out citations for weeks after he ordered that it stop. He ruled Elmwood Village in contempt and said the cameras and equipment must be seized and stored until the case is resolved. On a recent evening just before the contempt order, Holly Calhoun left her store, crossed the street and gazed up into a camera, wondering what, if anything, it was recording. Two men in a car stopped and asked what was going on. She told them she is opposed to cameras; they each gave her a thumb’s up and drove off. Business, Calhoun said, has been slow to rebound; most people don’t seem to believe the cameras aren’t in full operation.

Cleveland kidnapping suspect competent for trial CLEVELAND (AP) — A man charged with holding three women captive in his Cleveland home for about a decade and raping them is competent to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday. Cuyahoga County Judge Michael Russo said the results of an examination of Ariel Castro last week showed that he is mentally able to understand the charges and assist attorneys in his defense. Also Wednesday, prosecutor Saleh Awadallah said a meeting is planned July 11 to discuss the possibility of seeking the death penalty for the 52-yearold Castro, who faces aggravated murder charges stemming from allegations that he caused the deliberate termination of one of the women’s pregnancies. The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com Awadallah invited Castro’s attorney, Craig Weintraub, to submit evidence to him before the meeting to support an argument against the death penalty in the upcoming discussions. Castro’s attorneys have previously hinted that he might plead guilty if talk of capital punishment was taken off the table. Awadallah said prosecutors would be going back to the county grand jury to seek more charges against Castro, but he didn’t know when that would happen. At the end of the hearing, Castro, his bearded chin tucked to his chest for most of time, asked for permission to visit with the child he fathered with one of the women he is accused of kidnapping and raping. The judge de- nied the request. “I just think that would be inappropriate,” Russo said. Castro has pleaded not guilty to a 329-count indictment alleging he kidnapped three women off the streets between 2002 and 2004 when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old and held them for a decade in his two-story home in a rough Cleveland neighborhood. He fathered a 6-year-old daughter with one woman and is accused of starving and punching a second to cause her to miscarry. He was arrested May 6, shortly after one of the women broke through a door at the home and yelled to neighbors for help. The trial is scheduled for Aug. 5, but Russo said it could be delayed. Another hearing is set for July 24. Europe wants parallel talks on trade, surveillance BERLIN (AP) — European countries agreed Wednesday that talks on a freetrade deal with the United States should start in parallel with discussions about NSA surveillance — addressing concerns raised by France. French President Francois Hollande insisted after meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders in Berlin that the trade talks can start only “at the same time, at the same date” as talks with the U.S. on concerns over its intelligence activities. That raises questions as to whether the launch of the trade talks will go ahead as originally scheduled early next week. France had called earlier Wednesday for a two-week delay. The head of the European Union’s executive Commission, which will lead the trade talks, said U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder had offered to set up “as soon as possible” U.S.-European working groups on intelligence issues. “We are committed of course to the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership,” Jose Manuel Barroso said. “But we expect that in parallel … we analyze the oversight of intelligence activities, intelligence collection and also the question of privacy and data protection.” For the trade talks “to be a success, we need confidence among partners and confidence can become better” if Europe’s concerns are addressed, Barroso told reporters. Merkel, whose country has Europe’s biggest economy, said leaders at a meeting focusing mainly on youth unemployment were “very concerned” about reports of the U.S. eavesdropping on its European allies, and said the U.S. offer to set up working groups on the issue quickly was “very important.” “Time is pressing,” she said, adding that it was the “right idea” to say those groups should start work parallel to the beginning of the trade talks, whose opening will follow months of protracted and painful efforts to find a common European stance. France, whose Socialist government has appeared less enthusiastic than others about the free trade deal in the past, was at the heart of those difficulties — insisting on protections for its film and other cultural subsidies. Reports last weekend that the U.S. National Security Agency bugged EU diplomatic offices in Washington and infiltrated its computer network angered European officials, who noted that mutual trust is needed in talks on such a huge trade deal. The deal is expected to boost economies on both sides of the Atlantic by removing tariffs and other barriers to trade. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius acknowledged to parliament Wednesday that the free trade deal is “very important for the United States and very important for Europe.” But, he added that the two sides needed negotiations “in a climate of trust.” Hollande and his government are trying to appear tough internationally since his leadership is under pressure at home, not only from the opposition conservatives but increasingly from the far-left wing of his Socialist party. Hollande may be hoping that it’s good for him and his popularity to show that he can be strong against the free-market United States. In Berlin, Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert said before the leaders met that Germany supported efforts to begin the trade negotiations as planned July 8. But Volker Treier, a senior official at the influential German trade association DIHK, told the Berlin daily Tagesspiegel that he was concerned about the atmosphere. “For a free trade agreement there needs to be transparency and trust between the potential partners. The talks will get harder, the greater the distrust is,” he told the newspaper in comments reported Wednesday. “If the United States knew in advance what our negotiating strategy was then we Europeans would be fleeced.” Last month, the European Commission was given the mandate from all members to start the talks after striking a deal with France about keeping the movie and television business out of the negotiations to shield Europe’s audiovisual industry from Hollywood. A free trade pact would create a market with common standards and regulations across countries that together account for nearly half the global economy. A recent EU-commissioned study showed that a trade pact could boost the EU’s output by 119 billion euro ($159 billion) a year and the U.S. economy by 95 billion euros ($127 billion). For Europe in particular, that extra growth could be crucial to help pay high public debt and bring down unemployment, which is at record highs. Pursuit From Page 1 things that have made this independence possible. In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies then fighting in what is now referred to as the Revolutionary War weighed a resolution that would declare their independence from Great Britain. On July 2, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later its delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 until the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with typical festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. It has been celebrated as a federal holiday since 1941. According to the National Archives, drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation’s most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson’s most enduring monument. A total of 56 people signed the Declara- tion of Independence. Since its passage, there have been many changes, and much growth in the United States. The United State Census Bureau estimates that 2.5 million people lived in the United States when it became independent in 1776. Today, as were celebrate the 237th Independence Day, there are an estimated 316.2 million people in the United States. The Census Bureau also states many facts with regard to the Independence Day holiday and its beginnings. Benjamin Franklin (age 70), who represented Pennsylvania, was the oldest of the signers. Edward Rutledge (age 26), of South Carolina, was the youngest. Two future presidents signed, John Adams (second President) and Thomas Jefferson (third President). Both died on the 50th anniversary of signing the Declaration (July 4, 1826). Robert Livingston, who represented New York, was on the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence but was recalled by his state before he could sign it. As for the modern day celebrations of Independence Day, last year alone, the United States imported $218.2 million in fireworks from China, and $227.3 million total. Village and cities throughout the nation hold fireworks displays as part of the annual celebrations. Locally, Gallipolis, Middleport, Racine, and Rutland host annual Independence Day fireworks displays. Parades also mark many of the modern celebrations of Independence Day. Locally, parades are held in Mason, New Haven, Gallipolis, Middleport, Racine, Rutland and Wilkesville. Programs From Page 1 Opt-out aggregation must be placed on the ballot for members of the village to be included to vote on the matter. Opt-in aggregation does not require the vote of residents, but serves as more of an endorsement from the local government of a particular supplier. A village may shop for rates on their own or choose a broker to assist in the shopping for rates. In the case of Pomeroy, the village has worked with Volunteer Energy — a certified broker — since the gas aggregation program took effect. Pomeroy voted in their most recent meeting to send the matter to the voters during the November 2013 general election. A majority vote is required for council to be able to enter into a contract for a lower electric rate on behalf of its residents. If the issue were to pass on the ballot, there would be additional steps required by the village to complete the electric aggregation process. The village is proposing an opt-out aggregation for the electric program, just as is already in place for gas service. Opt-out aggregation is a program that automatically enrolls all local residents, unless they in- dividually opt-out of the program (choose not to be included). If authorized by a majority of the vote, the local government must form a plan of operation and management. They must also hold at least two public hearings to allow customers to voice any concerns over the proposed plan. Once the local government has adopted the plan, each customer to be aggregated must be notified that they will be automatically enrolled in the program unless they specifically elect not to participate. This notification must also state the rates, charges, and other terms and conditions of enrollment in the program. The opt-out notice is usually a letter accompanied by a post card to be mailed back if you do not want to participate, or, sometimes, a phone number to call or web site to visit to opt-out. Electric aggregation customers may opt-out every three years without paying a switching fee. In contrast, opt-in aggregation is a program that permits each customer to sign up individually to participate in the program. If the local government chooses Opt-in aggregation, it can proceed to develop a plan and start signing up customers. The plan must include all rates and terms for customers to consider when deciding to join. Pomeroy discussed placing opt-out aggregation on the ballot a year ago, but rescinded that approval after discussion with the Meigs County Commissioners. Monday’s meeting was the first major discussion by members of Racine Village Council in regard to aggregation. Smalley presented both of the options — opt-in and opt-out — to council members. While council did not make a decision at the meeting, the matter would have to be decided at the August meeting in order to be put on the November ballot. Smalley stated that deregulation is not going to be going away, and that aggregation is becoming prominent in some areas. Aggregation allows for lower rates due to it being for a larger group of people. Any measure passed by residents in the election would not include government buildings. Government buildings such as water and sewer plants, municipal buildings, and schools would not be considered since they are higher energy users. They could choose to enter into a contract with a provider on their own. In Pomeroy, residents decided in May 2009 to participate in a gas aggregation program after the issue was placed on the ballot for voters to decide. The issue passed by a 83-81 vote. The gas aggregation is also an optout program. Currently, residents in Gallipolis, Belpre and Marietta, along with many counties, cities and vil- lages in northern Ohio participate in electric aggregation according to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Albany and Pomeroy participate in the gas aggregation program. BUNDLE & SAVE!

Homer “Batman” Bailey? Come aboard! The right-hander made a little no-hitter history on Tuesday night, throwing his second in 10 months and the first in the majors this season. The Cincinnati Reds’ 3-0 win over the struggling San Francisco Giants gave Bailey another moment as big as his home state. It was Ryan-esque. “Obviously being from Texas and what a legend he is,” said Bailey, who wears No. 34 in tribute to his boyhood hero. “To do it once is extra special. To do it twice — I don’t really have the words for it right now.” They do back home. “He comes from the state of Texas that has produced a lot of no-hitters,” said Reds manager Dusty Baker, who made the final out in Nolan Ryan’s fifth no-hitter. “It means a lot — and he’s still got some time left.” Ryan holds the record with seven career no-hitters. Bailey was so enamored with the fellow Texan — Ryan hails from Alvin, Bailey from La Grange — that he chose his No. 34 to honor him. His fastball and his strikeouts aren’t up to Ryan’s level, but he’s starting to catch up on those no-hitters. And the folks back in Texas are paying attention. As soon as Bailey got Gregor Blanco on a routine groundout to end it, the videoboard at Minute Maid Park in Houston flashed: “La Grange native Homer Bailey of the Cincinnati Reds has just thrown his second career no-hitter.” And not just a second no-hitter — the second consecutive nohitter in the majors. Last year was the season of the no-no with seven in all, tying a modern record. By July 2, five already had been thrown. Bailey contributed the last one of the bunch, a 1-0 win in Pittsburgh on Sept. 28. Seventeen starts later, he threw the first one of 2013 and made his home state proud. The last pitcher to throw such back-to-back no-hitters in the majors was Ryan, according to STATS. Baseball’s career strike- out king did it for the California Angels on Sept. 28, 1974, against Minnesota, and again on June 1, 1975, vs. Baltimore. This one was as easy as could be. The defending World Series champions are in a deep hitting funk — two runs or less in nine of their last 12 games. They only came close to a hit one time. Bailey (5-6) walked Gregor Blanco leading off the seventh, the only Giants batter to reach base. Blanco advanced on a groundout then made the out See BAILEY ‌| 8 Jeff Slone | submitted photo Jonah Hoback follows through on a swing during Monday’s 2013 Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League finale at Hidden Valley Golf Course in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf league held its final tournament of 2013 on Monday morning at the Hidden Valley Golf Course in Mason County. The weather cooperated completely and the golf course was green and lush for the large number of players that showed up ready and anxious to play. It would have been difficult to find a better day for the season finale. The format for todays action was different. All previous tournaments were based entirely on stroke play results without hansicaps. In this event, all players who had participated in a minimum of 2 tournaments (including Monday) were assigned handicaps based on their previous scores. The purpose, of course, was to level the playing field. And, for the most part, it worked. Not one of the league’s age group champions finished first in todays play. The following is a recap of todays net scores within each age group : Age 10-and-under : Dylan Tayengco-38, Laith Hamid-42, Jay Sayre played in this group, but did not have an established handicap. Age 11-12 Boys Division: Colby Martin-33, Gabe Gilmore-38, Jasiah Brewer-39, Carl Sayre-40, Nicholas Durst-44, Wyatt Nicholson-49. Girls Division : Morgan Miller-35. Age13-14: Matthew Martin & Grant Gilmore-37, Colton Blakeman-40, Jonah Hoback-43, Jacob Ratliff-44, Grant Gilmore-46, Bryce Tayengco also played in this group but without an established handicap. Age 15-17 : Nathan Redman-36, Gus Slone-37, Dakota Sisk & Chris Brumfield-38, Logan Rosier & Michael MacKnight-39, Jordan Howell & Jacob Brewer-40, Cuyler Mills-41, Nolan Pierce-42, Jacob Hoback-44. Age 18-19 : Seth Jarrell-38. Before the championship plaques were distributed, all of the participants were served a lunch of pizza, chips and water/soft drinks. Also, to everyone’s delight, several of the parents contributed some wonderful cookies and cupcakes. Also each individual playing in the tournament was presented with various prizes with each receiving one or more of the following: hats, golf balls, tees, divot repair tools, ball-markers and golf towels. Championship plaques were then presented to Laith Hamid, Jasiah Brewer, Morgan Miller, Jonah Hoback, Caitlyn Vanscoy, and Dakota Sisk. Of course, none of todays celebration would have been possible without the support and cooperation of many people and area businesses. Appreciation goes to the area golf courses that permitted these young men and women to use their facilities. The owners and employees of Hidden Valley Golf Course, Meigs County Golf Course, Cliffside Golf Club and Riverside Golf Club are to be commended for their efforts on behalf on junior golf in the tri-county area. Simpson looks for another title WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Webb Simpson hopes have another late lead at the Greenbrier Classic — and this time hang onto it. Phil Mickelson might have a simpler goal: make the cut and go from there. They’ll try to improve on past performances on the Old White TPC course when the tournament starts Thursday in West Virginia. With the British Open two weeks away, Mickelson and Simpson are among only four golfers in the top 20 world rankings entered in West Virginia. The others are Louis Oosthuizen and Bubba Watson. More than half of the top 20 in the FedEx Cup standings aren’t here either. Still, there’s a dozen major champions entered. Also in the field is Bill Haas, who’s coming off a win last week at Congressional. He’s come close, too, at The Greenbrier, having lost in a three-way playoff two years ago. This week will have a special meaning for Haas. He and his wife, Julie, have brought their 7-week-old son, William Jr. “We certainly packed more stuff for this road trip than we’ve ever packed,” Haas said. “It’s a different week than I’ve ever experience on tour, but all for great reasons.” Their playground is the 6,500acre Greenbrier resort, which welcomes tour families and advertises relaxed fun with its 721room hotel, casino, spa and dozens of amenities. No one seems to have taken more advantage of those than Bubba Watson. He arrived late last week and shared photos on social media of his escapades in falconry, hanging out at the pool with his young son and during a flyover of the resort. Watson was in a playful mood during Wednesday’s pro-am, hitting a 4 iron between the legs of an amateur partner standing a few feet in front of him. One group behind, Simpson hobnobbed with NBA great and West Virginia native Jerry West. “It’s a laid-back week,” Simpson said. “They really cater toward the families at this golf tournament with player parties, family parties, pizza night, bowling night.” Even New Orleans Saints football coach Sean Payton wanted to get in on the action. Payton was planning to spend a week of down time at The Greenbrier. It turns out he’s carrying the bag of friend Ryan Palmer, who gave his regular caddie the week off. “I know what game week feels like for me in the fall, and I know what it will feel like for him and what it does feel like for all these golfers,” Payton said. “Just to be invisible as a caddie and do your job and be supportive, those are the things that I look at as being important for me this week.” To which Palmer added jokingly: “Just shut up and keep up. That’s it.” Simpson, the 2012 U.S. Open winner, would like to keep up on another front. Two years ago, he made the turn Danica returns to Daytona OVP Sports Briefs seeking better finish DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Danica Patrick made history in the season-opening Daytona 500, where she hit new milestones again and again and again. She became the first woman to earn the top starting spot in a Sprint Cup event with her polewinning run, then became the first woman to lead laps under green at NASCAR’s top level on race day. Those five laps out front put her in an exclu- sive club of only 13 drivers who have led laps in both the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500. And of the 13 in that club, only six of them — Patrick, A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Robby Gordon, Juan Pablo Montoya and Tony Stewart — have led at least five laps in each race. Then Patrick finished eighth — the highest for a woman in Daytona 500 history. River Valley Volleyball Camp BIDWELL, Ohio — The River Valley volleyball team will be holding their 2013 camp from Wednesday, July 10, through Friday, July 12, at River Valley High School. Camp for players entering grades 3-6 will be held from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. with camp for players entering grades 7-9 running from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. There is an entry fee involved. For more information email jpriddy7918@suddenlink.net or gl_dtoler@seovec.org Riverside Open to be held in July MASON, W.Va. — The 41st annual Riverside Open Golf Tournament See DAYTONA ‌| 8 will be held Saturday, July 13, and Sunday, July 14, at the Riverside Golf Club in Mason County. There is an entry fee that includes a practice round, which is to be played the week prior to the tournament. The players will be required to call the pro shop for tee times. Each player will be flighted according to 2013 GHIN Handicap, and players will be permitted to declare for the championship flight if desired. The Riverside Amateur is designated as a point tournament for the West Virginia Player of the Year Award this year. All entries must be received by the tournament committee no later than Tuesday, July 9. Players that do not have an official 2013 handicap will in the final round of the Greenbrier Classic with a one-stroke lead before finishing two strokes out of a playoff won by Scott Stallings. Last year Simpson lost a one-shot lead on the back nine again with three straight bogeys and tied for seventh. Simpson, Brendon de Jonge and Jimmy Walker are the only players to have two top 10 finishes at The Greenbrier. “(You) can’t really afford a bad nine holes when you win,” Simpson said. “I think it’s just me continuing to keep playing well, and hopefully I’m in that position on Sunday where I do have a chance to win.” The last two Greenbrier Classics have gone to playoffs, and Stuart Appleby needed a birdie on the final hole for a 59 to beat Jeff Overton by a stroke in the inaugural tournament in 2010. Mickelson is coming off top five finishes in three of his last four tournaments. But he has yet to shoot an under-par round at The Greenbrier, missing the cut each of the past two years. Last year marked the first time that Mickelson and Tiger Woods missed the cut in a tournament as professionals. Woods isn’t entered this year. He has a sore left elbow and isn’t playing again until the British Open. Among others in the field are Jordan Spieth, the 19-year-old Texan in search of an elusive win that would give him his PGA Tour membership and make him eligible for the FedEx Cup playoffs. He finished sixth at the AT&T National. He’s won more than $1.1 million this year and is assured of a tour card when the new season starts in October. allowed to enter the Championship Flight or the First Flight.

Gibson has every intention of seeing Patrick put the bright green No. 10 Chevrolet on the pole again. But this time he wants to see her get the finish she deserves. Patrick learned a hard lesson in the closing laps of the 500 when Dale Earnhardt Jr. schooled her with a late move that catapulted him to a second-place finish. There are some who also thought she might have had a chance to win it a few laps earlier if she’d pulled out of traffic and cut off the bottom lane — a move that might have forced the line of traffic to push her to the lead. Patrick wasn’t pleased with the final outcome in February. “I was disappointed at the end of the race that I just didn’t have a better grasp as to what I needed to do to shoot for a better finish than where I was,” she said. THREE-WIDE: IndyCar is going old-school for the return of the “Triple Crown.” The series announced Wednesday it will utilize threewide starts in the season-ending race at Fontana, Calif., which is the final leg in the Triple Crown challenge. IndyCar had previously announced it will use three-wide starts for Sunday’s race at Pocono, the second leg. that settled San Francisco’s only close call. Buster Posey hit a soft one-hopper that pulled Joey Votto away from first base. Bailey got a slow break off the mound to cover the bag, setting up what would have been a close play. Maybe Posey beats Bailey to the base for an infield hit. “That would have been a sad way to lose a no-hitter,” Baker said. Instead, Votto saw Blanco break for third and threw him out. “Joey had a great headsup play. I was almost a little late getting to the bag,” Bailey said. Two innings later, Bailey finished it off so smoothly. He jumped to glove Brandon Crawford’s high comebacker, struck out Tony Abreu and retired Blanco Thursday, July 4, 2013 on a grounder to third baseman Todd Frazier. Then, he raised his arms in celebration, just as he did in Pittsburgh only 10 months earlier. Been there, done that. “It’s something I’ve already done, so I knew what to expect,” Bailey said of his easy-as-could-be step into rare territory. Votto had a sacrifice fly, and Brandon Phillips hit a two-run homer off Tim Lincecum (4-9), who has lost his last six road decisions. That was all the help that Bailey needed on this night — one walk, nine strikeouts, no hits in a tidy 102 pitches. “He had his inner Batman out today,” Phillips said. Bailey got his nickname because teammates think he resembles actor Christian Bale, who played Batman on the big screen. The Giants didn’t put up much of a fight as they fell a season-low five games under .500. “It was a pretty easy nohitter,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “We didn’t hit too many balls hard. There weren’t any tough plays. We only hit a couple balls decent. He was really overmatching us all night.” It wasn’t that way earlier in his career. The prep star was a first-round pick — seventh overall — in June 2004. He dominated in the minors with his 97 mph fastball. When he was called up for the first time in 2007, he drove past a billboard on the interstate outside of Cincinnati featuring a picture of him holding a flaming baseball. He didn’t meet those grandiose expectations at first, but the 27-yearold finally emerged last season, winning a careerhigh 13 games — includ- ing the no-hitter. “He’s grown up a lot,” Baker said. “That’s what you like to see out of a young player. If you stick with them long enough, you can see the fruits of their success.” It was the 16th no-hitter in Cincinnati history. No Reds pitcher had thrown a no-no at home since Tom Browning’s 1-0 perfect game against the Dodgers at Riverfront Stadium on Sept. 16, 1988. Bailey became the third pitcher in the history of baseball’s first professional franchise to get more than one. Johnny Vander Meer threw the only back-toback no-hitters in major league history in 1938, beating the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers. Jim Maloney had a no-hitter at Wrigley Field in 1965 and one at home against Houston in 1969. Briefs From Page 6 p.m. on the first day of camp. All campers will receive a t-shirt.

You might want to end an intolerable situation, especially if you have been working with it for more than 11 years. You will be entering a new life and luck cycle this coming year. Try to be as clear as possible. You might see a situation far differently from how you have in a long time. If you are single, you attract many potential suitors. If you are attached, the two of you will enter a period of greater compassion. Your sweetie benefits from your new beginning. GEMINI always puts a different twist on a situation. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Listen to news with an open mind. You might feel as if you have pushed someone in your personal life too hard. You do not have the facts to make a solid decision about how to proceed. If you can’t make sense of this situation, just wait. Seek feedback. Tonight: Be with friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might be a little too involved with money for your taste. Nevertheless, it is a crucial part of your life. Make calls and bring others together. Do not neglect a certain someone — you might want to do something with this person that needs planning. Tonight: Your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Surprises will come in from out of left field. You could wonder which way to proceed. You might be able to go from one happening to another. Don’t worry about upsetting someone. An older family member or friend might be vague. Be careful. Tonight: As you like it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH Know that much could be going on behind the scenes. You might think you know all the details. Listen and observe, and note that there is a hush-hush matter going on. Do not take it personally; make sure that you find out as much as you can. Tonight: Enjoy the fireworks. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You thrive among groups and crowds. The unexpected easily can dissolve a situation into a chaotic misunderstanding. You might want to rethink a question with more openness. Your intuition emerges in a discussion with one person. Tonight: Where you want to be, but not alone. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH The only way to lessen pressure is to understand where it is coming from. You might have made a judgment subconsciously about what someone said. You could have decided that he or she was right, and the tension stems from taking on that judgment. Tonight: Check in with a friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might be making plans to get away, as you could be unsure of your choices and the direction in which you’re heading. You will feel more complete after a discussion. You can’t diminish the importance of a relationship. A call brings positive results. Tonight: With friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Work with an individual directly. You will find that most issues can be resolved in this manner. You could meet very different people from very different backgrounds. Together, you will add zest to what would be a mediocre happening. Tonight: Make time for a special friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Defer to a partner, who really does mean well. There are many reasons to do this, and there also might be a natural benefit that you won’t see or understand immediately. Unexpected behavior from a child or loved one could throw plans into chaos. Tonight: Lighten the mood. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your determination to bring a project to its natural ending remains your major focus. Woe to those who attempt to interfere — even if it is a holiday! Understand that many people are in celebration mode. Your intuition will guide you. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your sense of mischief emerges. Handling even a serious matter might be difficult. For all practical purposes, consider taking tomorrow off. A child or loved one expresses his or her caring. You might be surprised and also quite touched. Tonight: Let down your hair. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Without intending to, you could cast a haze over the clearest of situations. Confusion often prevents you from dealing with major issues. An unexpected event or phone call could distract you from your original plans. Do what you need to do first. Tonight: Go party hopping!

The race was delayed a day by rainy weather at the track. ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTOS Kenseth takes Kentucky Fuel-only pit stop pays off in fourth victory of the season Gary Graves Associated Press SPARTA, Ky. — Matt Kenseth has raced long enough to know that rough starts can still have good outcomes. Especially when his crew chief takes chances. Case in point was Kenseth's fuel-only pit stop gamble that helped him beat Jimmie Johnson late to win the rescheduled 400mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday at Kentucky Speedway. A race that was Johnson's to lose ultimately became Kenseth's series-high fourth victory of the season — and third on a 1.5mile track — after crew chief Jason Ratcliff passed on putting new tires on the No. 20 Toyota following the race's ninth caution. "I thought he was slightly crazy when that happened," said Kenseth, who widened his lead when the field went fourwide after the restart on lap 246 and saw Johnson's No. 48 Chevy spin from second place on a day he led three times for 182 of 267 laps. "I didn't think there was any way that we were going to hold on for that win. He made the right call at the right time and those guys got it done." Kenseth led twice for 38 laps, including the final 23. Johnson, the five-time champion and series points leader, finished ninth and leads Carl Edwards by 38. The restart bothered Johnson, who accused Kenseth of breaking the pace car speed. But Johnson took solace in salvaging his 11th top-10 despite between sandwiched in the logjam that could have been worse. "We were kind of in an awkward situation in that restart there," he said. "We were like three- and four-wide going in the corner, then something happened with the air and just kind of turned me around. Unfortunate, but at least we rallied back for a good finish." Second was Jamie McMurray in a Chevy, followed by Clint Bowyer (Toyota), Jimmie Johnson led 182 of the race’s 267 laps but couldn’t hold on after a restart pushed him back. Johnson eventually finished the race with his 11th top-10 finish of the season. Joey Logano (Ford) and Kyle Busch (Toyota). Rain Saturday night forced NASCAR officials to postpone the race to a daytime start. The event was red-flagged for 18 minutes following a seven-car wreck involving defending race and Sprint Cup winner Brad Keselowski, who returned to finish 33rd. It was the biggest incident of 10 cautions for 42 laps, but things were clean after Johnson brought out the final yellow flag. The checkered flag crowned Kentucky's third different champion in as many events though Kenseth, like Johnson, was due for a breakthrough on the 1.5-mile oval. He finished seventh here last year and sixth in the 2011 inaugural race. However, victory didn't seem likely for the 2003 Cup champion after qualifying 16th and running outside the top 20 during the first quarter of the event. "I thought our first run, we were all right and I guess probably after the second run, we were able to move forward pretty good," Kenseth said. "I felt pretty good about what we had. I thought we need to get it better." From then on, the first-year Joe Gibbs Racing driver was a perennial top-five contender. Trouble was, he and other hopefuls seemed to need Johnson to suffer misfortune to have any shot of catching him. The way he was running, that appeared unlikely. Turns out, Kenseth needed to rely on the left-side tires Ratcliff ordered the previous stop. Taking fuel only the final time allowed him to gain the lead coming off pit road, and the rubber held up on the rough, bumpy track, both on the restart and through the final laps. Ratcliff was shocked that more teams didn't follow suit with that strategy. "I felt like more guys would make that call, and so I thought it was worth a shot to get out there," the crew chief said. "When we rolled off pit road and saw what everybody did, I looked to the guy beside me and I'm like, 'I can't believe we are the only ones that did that." The decision led to a surprising late turn of events and the tense finish. Sunday at Kentucky Speedway 1. (16) Matt Kenseth, Toyota, 267 laps, 131.6 rating, 47 points, $200,451. 2.
