Historic district reviews OK’d Planning commissioners approve sign, paint projects

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Troy planning commissioners approved sign installation, painting of a door and roof replacement at the May 23 meeting.

A non-illuminated wall sign for State Farm Insurance at 115 S. Market St. was approved unanimously by the commission.

TROY An occupancy permit was approved in early May. Yellow Tree Yoga owner Mary Borton saw her historic district review approved as well.

The entry door of the building at East Main and Walnut streets, 103 E. Main St., will be painted a light pink color. Further facade

work will be addressed later.

Commissioners also OK’d a new roof for 12 S. Cherry St., which is a law firm owned by John Fulker. Because slate roof shingles are not available in large enough quantities for replacement, Fulker selected StormMaster Slate, which mirror the look and functionality of slate.

D.C. zoo to hand-raise baby cheetahs WASHINGTON — Two cheetah cubs have been transported to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo to be raised by hand after a risky birth last month at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in northern Virginia.

When the cubs’ mother, 5year-old Ally, gave birth to the first cub in late April, problems quickly developed. Ally is a first-time mother and abandoned the first cub. Then Ally’s labor stopped, even though she had three more cubs waiting to be born. See Page B4.

With Congress unwilling to contemplate an increase in the federal gas tax, motorists are likely to be paying even more tolls as the government searches for ways to repair and expand the nation’s congested highways.

Tolling is less efficient and sometimes can seem less fair than the main alternative, gasoline taxes. See Page 5.

Obama birth certificate OK by official PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s secretary of state said Wednesday that Hawaii’s official verification of President Barack Obama’s birth records meets necessary requirements, meaning the president’s name will appear on Arizona’s ballot in the fall.

The inquiry launched recently

by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett gave official weight to a long-simmering political controversy generated by those who say that Obama was not born in the U.S. and therefore is ineligible to hold the nation’s highest office.

The Obama administration attempted a year ago to dismiss the conflict by releasing his longform birth certificate showing that he was born in Hawaii.

But skeptics maintained their stance and eventually Bennett announced he would seek further verification at the request of numerous voters who contacted his office, even saying he was prepared to leave Obama’s name off the state’s ballot in November.

Bennett, a Republican, said in a written statement that Hawaii officials “have complied with the request, and I consider the matter closed.”

Bennett’s office says Obama’s name will appear on Arizona’s November ballot as long as he wins his party’s nomination and all paperwork is properly completed.

Obama campaign spokesman Mahen Gunaratna noted that Bennett also is Arizona campaign co-chair for Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney.

Gunaratna said Bennett’s inquiry will have no bearing on the election, “But it does present an oppor-

The Romney campaign responded saying the candidate has made his stance on the issue clear.

“I think the citizenship test has been passed,” Romney said to CNBC in April, a statement relayed to The Associated Press by his campaign on Wednesday. “I believe the president was born in the United States. And there are real reasons to get this guy out of office.”

Hawaii State Registrar Alvin Onaka sent the document Tuesday confirming the information on Obama’s birth certificate, such as the Honolulu hospital where he

Rezoning recommended At the law and ordinance committee meeting, members recommended council approve an ordinance authorizing the rezoning of three lots on West Stanfield

Road from a light industrial district to general business district. Originally, four lots had been included, but council amended the ordinance Monday to include only three, at the request of one of the lot’s owners, Legacy Medical Equipment.

The lots include a school facility, Stanfield water tower and Senior Active Inc., an adult daycare center.

City of Troy administrator Sue Knight said council has been moving through the process as quickly as possible, as specified under the procedural timetable.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The State Department has launched a different sort of raid against al-Qaida hacking into al-Qaida websites in Yemen.

In a rare public admission of the covert cyber war against extremists, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says cyber experts based at the State Department hacked Yemeni tribal websites, replacing al-Qaida propaganda that bragged about killing Americans.

“Within 48 hours, our team plastered the same sites with altered versions of the ads that showed the toll al-Qaida attacks have taken on the Yemeni people,” Clinton said Wednesday.

In response, “Extremists are publicly venting their frustration and asking supporters not to believe everything they read on the Internet,” she said.

Clinton described the cyber effort as part of a larger, multipronged attack on terrorism that goes beyond attacks like the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden to include the propaganda battle, and the longer, slower campaign of diplomats working alongside special operations troops to shore up local governments and economies

was born and the names and ages of his parents.

Hawaii officials have repeatedly verified Obama’s citizenship as skeptics have maintained that the president was born in Kenya, his father’s home country.

State and federal courts also have rejected lawsuits over the issue.

The verification process was the subject of three months of back and forth, with Hawaii officials initially saying Bennett had to show why he needed the information as part of ordinary business.

Other Arizona officials over the last year have raised questions about Obama’s birth certificate.

Last year, the state Legislature passed a bill that would have

army to help withstand alQaida attacks that have killed hundreds of Yemeni troops.

Yemen’s al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, is considered one of al-Qaida’s most dangerous offshoots.

Yemen was the launching pad for three foiled alQaida attacks on U.S. targets: the Christmas 2009 attempt to down an American airliner over Detroit with an underwear bomb and the sending of printer cartridges packed with explosives to Chicagoarea synagogues in 2010.

In the past month the CIA thwarted yet another plot by AQAP to destroy a U.S.-bound airliner using a bomb which could have been undetectable by conventional airport scanners.

Clinton says the cyber attack was launched by an interagency group of specialists, including diplomats, special operators and intelligence analysts, housed at the State Department. Called the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, its experts patrol the Internet and social media to counter alQaida’s attempts to recruit new followers.

“Together, they will work to pre-empt, discredit and outmaneuver extremist propaganda,” Clinton said.

Offensive attacks on extremist sites are generally attributed to the Pentagon’s U.S. Cyber Command, though seldom acknowledged publicly.

and train local forces.

Clinton was speaking alongside Adm. Bill McRaven, head of the U.S. Special Operations Command, at a conference of hundreds of U.S. and international special operations commanders the two senior leaders sending a tacit message to their sometimes warring tribes of troops and diplomats that they have to get along.

Yemen is considered both a model and a test case of that effort. U.S. diplomats have been working to stabilize the fledgling government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who replaced ousted Yemeni strongman Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh stepped down in February as part of a U.S.-backed power-transfer deal brokered by Gulf Arab countries aimed at ending political unrest in the country after a yearlong uprising.

Hadi has faced the twin challenges of Saleh loyalists refusing to relinquish their government and military posts, and of al-Qaida attacks in the south, where the group has established a large safe haven from which to attack Yemeni troops.

The White House responded by issuing an executive order last week threatening sanctions against individuals who challenge Hadi’s government.

It also dispatched a new batch of special operations forces to train Yemen’s

required presidential candidates to prove their citizenship before their names could appear on the state’s ballot.

The proposal was vetoed by Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who called the measure “a bridge too far.”

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in America, had a volunteer posse launch an investigation into the issue, saying in March there was reason to believe Obama’s long-form birth certificate is a computer-generated forgery.

Arpaio, known for his hardline stance on illegal immigration, said Wednesday the information given to Bennett’s office doesn’t dispel his suspicions. He vowed to continue his posse’s investigation until Hawaii officials provide microfilm of the original birth certificate or the original document itself.

Earlier this spring, Bennett’s office made a change that requires candidates to complete a new form asking eligibility questions, including whether they are natural-born U.S. citizens.

In the past, political parties drafted their own certification documents that Arizona officials say didn’t consistently address the issue of qualifications.

Democrat state Rep. Chad Campbell, Arizona’s House minority leader, called on Bennett to step down as co-chair of the Romney campaign, saying if he doesn’t, then he should resign as secretary of state.

Bennett declined through a spokesman to comment on Campbell’s appeal.

ANALYSIS

Summit doubleheader is short on surprises CHICAGO (AP) — A long weekend of economic and security summits was heavy on stagecraft and light on surprises.

The Group of Eight gathering in Camp David, Md., and the larger gathering of NATO leaders in Chicago yielded agreements worked out in advance and already made public. Lengthy statements summing up the summit to-do lists were largely written before the leaders arrived.

Although the gatherings occurred in the midst of a European financial crisis and looming threats in Syria, North Korea and Iran, any meaty discussions or disagreements took place out of earshot of the news media.

President Barack Obama, host for both events, came away with no unexpected accomplishments apart from concluding the gatherings without major mishap. There were no private conversations inconveniently picked up by an open microphone or tales of drunken romps with prostitutes by Obama’s Secret Service officers, as happened at the last two international gatherings Obama attended.

In the custom of such assemblies, however, just having the meetings at all counts as a plus.

World leaders get a splashy moment to draw attention to important issues that often get short shrift in other settings, and they can take one another’s measure. They can apply subtle pressure in public on areas where they disagree, and sometimes talk tough in private.

That was the case at Camp David, where other leaders made sure Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev heard the rising outrage over violence in Syria, a Russian ally. Likewise in Chicago, Obama pointedly said Russia should drop its objections to NATO’s planned missile defense shield for Europe.

On the two most important issues at hand the economy and Afghanistan even the bland statements of agreement on what to do next convey shared purpose.

A problem for Obama is that whatever its merit, such diplomacy takes time and is a distraction from his re-election campaign.

Foreign policy is a cornerstone of being president. But it does not get you re-elected not in this economy.

Obama, like his Republican presidential challenger, Mitt Romney, would prefer to keep his public focus on creating jobs and helping consumers pay their bills because those basic domestic problems are also his re-election problem.

Every political observer, and that includes Obama himself, says the election will turn on the economy.

The calendar, though, is loaded with summits that demand his presence (although he is planning to bail on this year’s Asia-Pacific forum in Russia because it falls during his party’s political convention in September.)

Obama was just months on the job when he found himself attending so many world forums that he joked of having a condition called “summititis.”

The forums do matter. They give world leaders the chance to speak with one voice in trying to rescue the economy and heap pressure on rogue nations, although in doing so, the final declarations must often be watered down to please all.

And so Obama emerged from the G-8 gathering of rich and powerful nations with the ability to say there is an “emerging consensus” that Europe’s governments have to take actions to spur growth, not just cut their way out of reducing debt. Tellingly, he used that moment to offer a campaign-sounding message for his economic vision for his own nation.

And he was able to stand up in Chicago and say there is a firm path to ending the Afghanistan war.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo, on nuclear power: The devastating accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant last year has evoked serious public distrust of politicians, bureaucrats and scientists.

What needs to be done to stop the continuing growth of public distrust and restore their credibility with the people?

The government has promised to promote “national

debate” as part of its efforts to map out a new nuclear power and energy policy. Specifically, it plans to sort out the possible policy options that have been discussed by related advisory councils and study groups and present them to the people.

The government says it is aiming to build a national consensus on the future direction of the policy by summer.

But not all the assumptions for the debate are clear.

The government’s committee looking into the nuclear accident has yet to compile its report. The proposed new nuclear safety watchdog, tentatively named the “Nuclear Regulatory Agency,” has yet to be created. It will be even longer before new nuclear safety standards are established.

A well-thought-out plan and its careful implementation are vital. A rough-and-ready approach could even deepen the people’s distrust.

DOONESBURY

Someone tried to steal my identity? Really?

Over the weekend, someone tried to steal my identity, which naturally led me to wonder — who would really want to be me?

Apparently there’s a large market out there for people who want to be middle-aged, overweight, Asian men who generally have insufficient funds in their checking account. Yeah, that’s exactly the sort of person whose identity I would want to steal.

It all started Tuesday night when I went to a local grocery store to pick up my prescription medication. I currently am taking daily medications to deal with heartburn — yet another reason why someone would want to be me, I’m certain — and when I went to pay for my subscription, by debit card was denied. Figuring I had insufficient funds — I had spent most of my week’s paycheck on Moon Pies and penny whistles over the weekend — I asked if that was the problem. The pharmacist said the computer told him to ask if I had another method of payment.

“Well, I do have a promissory note from the Bank of Lichtenstein on me — do you take those?”

David Fong Troy Daily News Columnist As it turned out, they did not.

He then informed me that my card was not denied because I had insufficient funds and that I should probably go to my bank to see exactly what the problem was.

This, of course, presented a major problem, mostly because my wife handles all the banking in our family. She does not allow me to handle money, because every time she does, we end up with purchases such as a 1971 Dodge Charger.

Needless to say, I am kept as far away from the money as humanly possible.

At this point, I asked the pharmacist if he knew which bank I used.

“It says right on the card,” he said. “Haven’t you ever noticed that before?”

To which I politely informed

him that I had always kind of operated under the assumption it was a magic card that allowed me to purchase anything I want and I had never really been to sure where the money came from. It was always just sort of there.

Again, this is why I’m not allowed to handle any of the finances in the Fong family.

Once I had figured out which bank I use, I went to that bank.

Once there, they proceeded to ask me questions. Lots of questions.

Difficult questions that I had no answer to. Questions such as, “Your name, sir?”

Seriously, there was a whole series of questions they asked in order to get to the bottom of what, exactly had happened to my account. Just to make things even more fun (and really, if there’s one place I go to have fun, it’s the local bank), at one point in the middle of the conversation, the bank teller asked me if I would like to upgrade my checking account.

To which I replied, “Can I have some money?”

Finally, they called over the bank manager, probably because the bank teller had grown tired of dealing with a complete imbecile.

Finally, after roughly 15 minutes of me staring at her blankly while she tried to figure out exactly why my debit card wasn’t working, we had come to the conclusion that someone had tried to make an unauthorized purchase with my card.

That grand total of that purchase? Ninety-nine cents.

“So all this is over 99 cents?” I asked.

She then explained to me that many times when someone is trying to steal someone’s identity, they will make a “probe” purchase to see if anyone catches it. If they don’t, they then proceed to make larger, more extravagant purchases.

Fortunately, the bank had caught the probe, however, and put a stop to it before any major purchases could be made. So my identity was safe and there still was only one of me in the world.

Which is good news, because I’m not sure the world is ready for two of me.

Especially bank tellers.

Council addresses yard ordinance Problem centers around foreclosed homes

BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com During better economic times, vacant homes with unsightly tall grass were not a problem in Covington. However, with more homes going into foreclosure, Covington Village Council members agreed Monday night that a yard maintenance ordinance is needed in order to recoup the village’s expenses for mowing the yards of vacant homes mostly owned by banks.

“It seems like we’re adding a yard a week — I know we’re not, but it seems that way,” Mayor Ed McCord said of the problem of the yards of vacant homes not being mowed after the occupants have moved out. McCord said village employees are mowing five or six yards on a regular basis. “We need some sort of fee structure so we know how much to assess,” McCord said, adding that a few years ago mowing grass of vacant homes wasn’t an issue.

McCord said the problem is primarily bank-owned properties.

“With local people, when we ask them, they comply (by cutting the grass),” he said. “It’s the banks; there is no one to cover the costs.”

Solicitor Frank Patrizio said he researched the yard maintenance ordinances of other communities in Ohio.

Patrizio spoke favorably of the tall grass nuisance ordinance of Lakewood, located near Cleveland.

The ordinance carries a minimum charge of $100 for the first offense of allowing grass or weeds to exceed six inches in height, with the charge being upped to $200 for the second offense and $300 for the third and subsequent offenses.

He explained that if the offending property owner doesn’t pay the charge, the penalty is assessed to their taxes.

“We need something in place because obviously, this is a problem,” said councilman Marc Basye.

He suggested there be an appeal process for property owners to contest the charge if they think it’s unfair.

Patrizio was directed to put an appeal process in an ordinance he is to prepare for the next council meeting.

Councilman Scott Tobias said he thought the proposed charge “is pretty stiff.”

Patrizio said with the cost of the village employees’ time, equipment and the expense of Fiscal Officer Carmen Siefring’s time preparing notices to be sent to property owners, “I think $100 might not be sufficient.”

Council members agreed that the charge could be waived in some instances, such as in the case of elderly residents. There also was discussion of making the height of the grass more than six inches.

Council will again address the issue at the June 4 meeting.

Police Chief Lee Harmon advised council members that the popular contemporary Christian band Big Daddy Weave will be performing at the Fort Rowdy Gathering, set for Oct. 6-7.

“We think there will be a pretty big crowd show up (for the concert),” Harmon said, noting a meeting is being planned with the Fort Rowdy Gathering committee to discuss issues involving the concert.

Harmon, McCord and other village officials will be attending the meeting. Council member Lois Newman asked why Ohio Software of Columbus, which has handled the village’s computer software in the past, was not invited to give a presentation on village utility billing software.

She said she received a call from Jim Schmitt of Ohio Software after council approved the contract.

Earlier this month, council awarded the billing software contract to CMI of Englewood at a cost of $21,753.

McCord said one of the reasons Ohio Software was not invited to

COVINGTON give a presentation on the billing software is that the firm was asked by the Covington Board of Public Affairs a few months ago to provide estimated billing software and the BPA was told the firm couldn’t do that. The mayor went on to say how officials with other villages served

by CMI expressed their satisfaction with the company’s services.

Council President Doris Beeman also said Ohio Software “is a oneman show, if anything happens to him we’re done.” Beeman said in contrast, CMI has 50 employees to provide customer service.

Newman said she was satisfied with the explanation.

Contacted Tuesday, Schmitt said he was surprised by the council’s awarding of the contract to CMI without giving him an opportunity to make a presentation.

“In 23 years of working with the village, I have never had a single problem,” Schmitt said. “The system they have runs like clockwork,” Schmitt said, contending he could have saved the village $17,000 on the software system.

He also noted his company provides software for other area villages, including Bradford, Pittsburg and Gettysburg and has had no complaints from those communities.

“We’ve never had a dissatisfied customer,” he said.

Schmitt also denied telling BPA officials that his company couldn’t handle estimated utility billing.

McCord advised council members that the Covington Memorial Day Parade will begin at 1 p.m.

Monday. Council will be participating in the parade.

Council went into executive session to discuss the planned hiring of a village administrator. McCord said no action was expected following the session. Village officials have expressed a desire to have the first-ever administrator on the job

by July.

McCord said five candidates are being interviewed for the position.

BOE approves new curriculum

BY JOHN BADEN For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com New curriculum in math education for the next seven years was unveiled by the Math Curriculum Committee at Tipp City Board of Education’s meeting Monday night.

All math lessons will be available online for the students who want to use them, except for AP Statistics and AP Calculus in high school.

Clay Lavercombe, a committee member, said that they will not be using online as much for these two courses because they want to prepare students for college.

“They’re not going to be using any online component in college,” Lavercombe said.

Fellow committe member Dale Bonifas said that online was a strong component that the committee wanted in its math education, so that everything that was accessed by teachers for class could be accessed by students online at home.

From kindergarten up to fifth grade, the math committee members chose GO Math!, which is published

by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. While everything is available online, students will have the opportunity to write in a workbook.

“The lessons are very user friendly,” Deb Haas, a committee member, said.

“The lessons are taught, applied and practiced right in the workbook.”

Lessons are introduced through Curious George (K-2) and Carmen Sandiego (3-5).

For sixth to eighth grade, students will be using Glencoe Math books, which are published by Glencoe McGraw/Hill.

Advanced middle school students will be able to use the same Algebra and Geometry books that high school students use so that they can have a smooth transition into high school.

High school students will mostly

be using math books published by Pearson.

These will include Algebra I and II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus for Business.

The high school will also use Introduction to Statistics and Calculus books, published by Holt McDougal.

Price changes Another change for high school students is the cost of a cafeteria lunch.

High school students will see a 25 cents increase in school lunches next year. Elementary lunches will cost $2.25, and high school lunches will cost $2.50.

Superintendent Dr. John Kronour said that one of the reasons the school needed to increase the prices was because of the new requirements for larger serving sizes of fruit and vegetables.

According to Gary Pfister, the school’s Director of Services, this is the first time in 15 years that the guidelines for school lunches have been updated.

Tipp City will once again contract with Troy Christian Schools in the $13,000-range for transportation of their students for the coming school year.

The two schools have done this since 1995, and as of last fall, 68 Troy Christian students that reside in the Tipp City district were enrolled in this.

Tipp City will also hire Duro-Last Roofing Inc. and Roofing by Insulation Unlimited to re-roof LT Ball Intermediate School over the library and cafeteria for $53,900.40.

The roof of Nevin Coppock Elementary School will also be repaired for $15,000.

While Kronour said that there is no set date for these projects, the contracts will be signed in July.

Extracurricular activities Also discussed at the board meeting was Tippecanoe High’s prom,

Future shock

CINCINNATI (AP) — Todd Frazier paused for an on-field interview after rounding the bases and got a face full of shaving cream from a Reds teammate.

Couldn’t see? No problem.

Second baseman Brandon Phillips followed with an overthe-head dousing with one of the dugout water coolers.

So, that’s what it’s like to hit a game-ending homer.

Frazier connected on his first game-ender with one out in the ninth inning Wednesday night, extending Cincinnati’s best surge of the season with a 2-1 victory that left the Atlanta Braves in disbelief over the Reds’ homer-

Multitasking expert Dunivan off to state in 2 events

BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Leah Dunivan is a three-sport athlete at Miami East.

Aside from being a member of the track team, she helped the Vikings win the state title in volleyball and also started for the basketball team, which finished the season as regional runnerup. And the junior admitted that the training regimen in those sports has translated over to track season.

“Volleyball has helped my jumping in the high jump a lot,” Dunivan said. “We do a warm up that is excruciating. In basketball, we run a decent amount.

But in volleyball we work hard every day no matter what.”

Whatever sport it may be,

TROY though, one thing is certain: Dunivan is a winner. And that trend continued Wednesday as the East junior qualified for state in two events at the Division III Regional track meet in Troy, leaping her way to a third-place finish in the high jump (5-2) and placing second in the shot put (39-9.25) after placing fifth at regional last year.

“Last year, I started off throwing a 39, and then I kept getting lower and lower,” Dunivan said.

“This year, I reversed it. I progressed as the season progressed.

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM A6 cozy ballpark.

“When he got that ball up, you knew it had a chance, especially in this ballpark,” manager Dusty Baker said.

The Reds won their fifth in a row, leaving them five games over .500 (24-19) for the first time this season.

Frazier hit a solo shot on the second pitch from Cristhian Martinez (2-1), who came on to start the ninth. It was a fitting ending for a series that has been decided by solo homers 11 in all during the three games.

This one barely cleared the wall in right field, landing in the first row of seats an estimated 355 feet away.

“I knew when I hit it that I got a lot of it,” Frazier said. “I was hoping it was enough. It just got over. Fine with me.”

Aroldis Chapman (4-0) kept his ERA perfect by fanning two of the three he faced in the ninth. The left-hander hasn’t allowed an earned run in 24 1-3 innings, ascending to the

Troy’s Alex Dalton throws the discus Wednesday at the Division I Regional meet.

■ CONTINUED FROM A6 Terrell — who finished sixth at Wednesday’s regional by clearing 13-6 — is headed to Ohio Dominican in the fall to become the university’s first-ever pole vaulter.

“I’ll be able to make a name for myself there no matter what I do,” Terrell said. “I’m jumping there, and whenever I jump for the first time, it’ll be a school record.”

And while he’ll be blazing new ground in the fall, on Wednesday he was caught up in a talented — and massive — group of area vaulters. He couldn’t clear his PR of 14-0, and by the time he missed for the third time, four others had already qualified.

And as he sat off to the side watching, they all took turns coming by to congratulate him on a great career.

“There’s a great group of guys in the area, in this regional,” Terrell said.

“We’re all friends, too. When it comes to competing, we’re all here to vault. But once that’s over, we’re all friends.

“This is the second year in a row I’ve been at the regional, but I didn’t get on the podium last year. So this year I did better. And that’s what high school was for.

Progressing and getting better was what I was really looking for.”

Which all prepared him for his new role — as a trailblazer.

• Just Short Bri Jumper and Alex Dalton didn’t make it onto the podium.

But there’s no doubt they’ll both be back at the regional getting another shot.

Both of Troy’s discus throwers qualified for the final heat but ended up taking ninth place, with Dalton throwing 136-6 on the boys side and Jumper throwing 114-5 on the girls.

For the junior Jumper, the pressure of topping last season’s sophomore effort may have gotten to her.

“It was nerves,” she said.

“I believed I could do it, but I was just too nervous. I did better last year (sixth). The competition was really, really tough.”

With the state record holder in the field in the boys competition, Dalton — a sophomore — took the opportunity to see where he stacked up as well as watch and learn.

“I knew there was going to be pretty good competition,” Dalton said. “It was good to watch them. To place high, I would have had to beat my PR, and that’s hard when you’ve already kind of maxed out. I was glad, though. I was hoping to do well this year, but I didn’t expect to make the regional.”

With two more chances,

closer’s role.

The Reds will try for a four-game sweep on Thursday. They haven’t swept the Braves in Cincinnati since the 1980 season.

“Right now, we’re rolling,” said Bronson Arroyo, who gave up four hits in 6 2-3 innings. “But it’s a rollercoaster, you know.”

The series has been an extended game of home run derby, with the Reds getting the best of it.

There have been 12 homers in the three games, eight of them by Cincinnati.

Frazier’s opposite-field homer would have been an out in most other ballparks. At Great American, it was a game-winner.

“Tough loss,” said Braves starter Tommy Hanson, who gave up four hits in six innings. “But there’s only so much you can do. It kind of (stinks) to see that ball go into the first row and that’s how the game is determined.

“But that’s the ballpark we’re playing in and we have to deal with it.”

Dalton can only improve.

“Coming into this year, I didn’t even throw my freshman year,” he said. “I was new to it and getting used to the bigger high school disc still. It feels bad that I didn’t make the top eight by only a couple of feet, but I’ve got two more years.”

And Jumper wants to make sure that her final season with the team next year is a big one.

“I’m excited this season’s over, but I’m going to be working hard over the summer,” she said. “I’m going to come back and be a beast.”

The girls 4x800 team of McKenna Poling, Sarah Adkins, Leah Soutar and Katie-Grace Sawka also couldn’t qualify for state, finishing 16th in 10:47.22.

• End of Eras Seniors Ellise Sharpe and Ashley Badertscher saw mountains of success as Tippecanoe Red Devils.

Wednesday, though, their high school careers came to an end.

The 4x200 relay team of Badertscher, Erica Comer, Allison Rawlins and Sarah

Janosik had the 12th-best qualifying time with 1:46.02, while the 4x100 team of Badertscher, Sharpe, Rawlins and Janosik was 14th with 51.05 seconds.

It was the final time Sharpe — a star basketball and soccer player headed to Brown University to continue her basketball career — will suit up as a Red Devil in any sport.

“I guess now I have to get back in a gym,” Sharpe said with a laugh. “I liked running track a lot. It’s so fun and positive and all of the coaches are great. It’s sad (that it’s ending). I had a lot of fun.”

For Badertscher, the end came one event too soon. As she took off for her leg of the 4x100, she injured her foot and couldn’t run in the 200, for which she’d also qualified.

“It’s burning. I can’t even jog. I can barely stand on it,” she said. “It’s so sad. I love track so much. I love all of the people and the girls on the team, and I’m really going to miss it.”

But it was obvious that

she’ll be missed, too — after her injury, one of her teammates was helping her get around by carrying her on her back.

Comer also ran in individual event, finishing 10th in a stacked 400 field in 1:00.44.

• Friday-bound All of Troy’s runners in the preliminaries qualified for Friday’s finals — and a number of them look to be in good shape for a run at state.

Nick James qualified in both of his individual events, running the fastest qualifying time in the 100 (10.95 seconds) and finishing third in the 200 (22.17 seconds).

The 4x100 relay team of James, Devante Bush, Miles Hibbler and Nick Zimmer also qualified, finishing seventh (43.07 seconds).

For the girls, Ashley Rector had the best qualifying time in the 400 (57.56 seconds), while Todda Norris was third in the 200 (25.87 seconds) and Catelyn Schmiedebusch was eighth in the 300 hurdles (47.68 seconds). The 4x200 team of Rector, Norris, Shanelle Byrd and Gracie Huffman was third (1:42.77) and the 4x100 team of Byrd, Huffman, Norris and Sharice Hibbler was fifth (49.54 seconds).

Friday’s action kicks off at 4 p.m. with the field events.

Segui may be forced to testify vs. Clemens WASHINGTON (AP) — Prosecutors finally have some momentum in their perjury case against Roger Clemens, even if it means dragging in former major leaguer David Segui, a witness who is apparently so reluctant to testify that the judge threatened from the bench: “If he doesn’t show up, he’ll be arrested like anyone else.”

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton indicated Wednesday he was leaning heavily toward allowing prosecutors to call Segui and another witness to counter an overall impression left by Clemens’ lawyers during the 6-week-old trial. Segui is expected to say that sometime around 2001 he was told by Clemens’ strength coach, Brian McNamee, that McNamee had saved evidence from injections of players to placate a nagging wife.

That would be consistent with McNamee’s testimony last week — that he kept waste from an alleged steroids injection of Clemens in 2001 and stored it in a beer can to soothe things over at home. McNamee’s wife, according to McNamee, was concerned that he would become the fall guy if his involvement with drugs-in-baseball were ever exposed.

But there’s a catch.

Prosecutor Courtney Saleski said Segui, who retired in 2004 after 15 major league seasons, “doesn’t want to come” even though he’s under subpoena.

Judge Walton’s response: “You just tell him if he’s under subpoena, he’d better be here.” Or else, added the judge, “he’d better be on the run because the marshals will be after him.”

Clemens is accused of lying to Congress in 2008 when he said he had never

used steroids or human growth hormone, and a trial that appeared to be going so well for the seventime Cy Young Award winner has this week thrown him a few curveballs.

When Clemens’ lawyer Rusty Hardin shared a laugh with the judge while fighting an uphill battle against Segui’s testimony — “I don’t want to beat a dead horse,” Hardin said — Clemens sat at the defense table and didn’t so much as crack a smile.

Essentially, Hardin is paying the price for his three days of aggressive cross-examination of McNamee, who says he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and with HGH in 2000. On Monday, the judge ruled that Hardin had opened the door for McNamee to name other players to whom he had supplied HGH, something the defense had fought vigorously to keep from the jury.

Now the government — and the judge appears to agree — says that Hardin went too far in trying to build a case that McNamee started making up charges and fabricating evidence against Clemens around 2007 as a way to appease federal agents.

Walton said the jury is left with the impression that “because the government had made these allegations, that he started to give them what they wanted to stay out of harm’s way and avoid going to prison.”

Segui and Anthony Corso, who was one of McNamee’s private workout clients in New York City, could refute that.

Corso is expected to testify that he was told by McNamee as early as 2002 that Clemens used HGH and that in 2005 he was told by McNamee about the saved evidence from the 2001 injection.

Philadelphia 76ers’ Evan Turner, left, and Boston Celtics’ Mickael Pietrus vie for the ball during the first half of Game 6 of an NBA basketball Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series Wednesday in Philadelphia.

76ers get even Beat Boston to force Game 7 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jrue Holiday scored 20 points, and Elton Brand had 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead the tough-anddetermined Philadelphia 76ers past the Celtics, 82-75 on Wednesday night to send the Conference Eastern semifinals back to Boston for Game 7.

No team has won consecutive games in a series where neither team has played well enough to seize control.

Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo could be playing their last game together Saturday night if they can’t find a way to hang onto the ball and put away a Sixers team that won’t quit.

Former 76ers All-Star Allen Iverson earned a roaring standing ovation

when he presented the game ball. By the end, the fans were on their feet for Holiday, Brand and Andre Iguodala for keeping the eighth-seeded Sixers alive for at least one more game.

The Celtics posted ugly numbers across the board: Blame the loss on the 33 percent shooting, the 17 turnovers or the 3 for 14 3-point shooting.

Either way, there’s enough to go around.

Pierce had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Garnett had 20 points and 11 boards.

The Sixers again failed to put up the sparkling numbers in the box score usually required for a deep postseason run. They missed 8 of 9 3-pointers, shot a woeful 17 of 28 from the free throw line and had 12 turnovers.

Devils end rally, take 3-2 series lead on Rangers NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan Carter snapped a tie with 4:24 left, and the New Jersey Devils posted a 5-3 victory over the New York Rangers after blowing a three-goal lead in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday night.

The Devils, who led 3-0 before the first period was half over, have a 3-2 edge in the series and can advance to face the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup finals with a win at home on Friday night. If the Rangers can stay alive then, Game 7 would be back in Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

The Devils seemed primed for an easy win

when Stephen Gionta and Patrik Elias scored within the first 4:13 of the game.

Travis Zajac made it 3-0 before the Rangers woke up and began chipping away.

Brandon Prust brought New York within 3-1 before the first period was over, and Ryan Callahan made it a one-goal game in the first minute of the second. The Garden really rocked when Marian Gaborik tied it at 3 just 17 seconds into the third with his first goal of the series.

But the comeback was all for naught. Carter put the Devils back in front, and Zach Parise sealed it with an empty-net goal in the closing seconds.

■ CONTINUED FROM A6 focused.”

Dunivan had to bounce back and forth between the shot area and the high jump as the events ran simultaneously. It was quite an unusual sight to say the least.

“Sometimes I feel like I run more than the people in the actual running events,” Dunivan joked.

Joking aside, though, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I even do the 100 hurdles. I run, I jump and I throw. They have me doing all sorts of things all the time. I like it that way. I like being very versatile.”

• Back Again Covington’s Sam Christian was in a similiar situation a year ago.

Christian put forth his best throw of the season in the discus at the 2011 regional meet to earn a state berth.

On Wednesday at the Division III regional meet, he once again threw his best at the right time, hurling a 15411 to edge Anna’s Ryan Spicer (153-10) for first.

Though he took a familiar path to reach state, Christian hopes to make his senior trip to the big show count.

“Last year, I choked pretty good. But this year I have some experience, so I’m hoping that pays off,” Christian said. “It was kind of the same deal as last year, though. I threw a 154-3 or so, but nerves got in the way at state. This time, I should be ready to go.”

Christian will also compete for a shot at state in the shot put on Friday.

Lane White, Dustin Fickert and Isaiah Winston were all on the Covington 4x800 team which qualified for state last season.

And now, those three — along with freshman Alex Schilling — earned a trip back to the promised land once again, placing fourth in the event in a time of 8:15.45 seconds.

Fickert got the Buccs off to a great start — running a 2:00 first split — leading the field after running the first leg. From there, Winston moved down to third as Minster and St. Henry — which finished the race one-two — surged to the top.

“That start was pretty good,” Fickert said. “I was just trying to make my first lap count and go from there. I liked where I ended up being.”

When Schilling ended the third leg, Coldwater had made a move up to the third spot, which dropped Covington on the edge of qualifying in fourth. But White was able to anchor home the state berth for the Buccs as Emmanuel Christian anchor Wes Haney had too much of a deficit to overcome.

White advanced to the finals in the 400 (50.62).

The 4x400 team of Fickert, Winston, White and Schilling qualified with the third fastest time (3:29.18).

Johnathon Barbee made the finals heat in the 100 (11.32) and Dylan Canan made the finals in the 400 (50.98).

Miami East’s Corrine Melvin was the only 100 runner to break the 13 second barrier (12.78 seconds) in the field. The closest time to Melvin’s was

Macy Schroeder of Fort Jennings, who finished with a time of 13.04 seconds. Melvin, Lindsey Roeth, Renee Deford and Kylie Brown qualified for the finals in the 4x200 (1:48.96).

Lehman’s Sarah Titterington ran the fastest time in the 200 (26.34 seconds), had the best time in the 400 (58.46) and placed third in the 100 (13.08 seconds).

For the boys, Justin Stewart qualified for the finals in the 200 (23.26) and posted the best qualifying time in the 400 (49.38).

Haslem suspended for Game 6 Heat’s Pittman also docked three games MIAMI (AP) — Udonis Haslem insists he meant no harm. The NBA deemed otherwise, and the Miami Heat will be without one of their co-captains when they try to close out the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night.

Haslem was suspended for Game 6 of the MiamiIndiana Eastern Conference semifinal series, a matchup where emotions boiled over in a runaway Heat victory on Tuesday night. The NBA also said Miami reserve center Dexter Pittman will miss three games in response to his flagrant foul against Indiana backup guard Lance Stephenson in the final seconds of Game 5.

Indiana’s Tyler Hansbrough was not suspended, although the league upgraded his foul against Miami’s Dwyane Wade to a flagrant-2 on Wednesday — which, if called that way

during Game 5, would have brought an automatic ejection. Hansbrough struck Wade in the head, opening a cut over his right eye.

Moments later, Haslem committed a flagrant foul against Hansbrough, clearly in response to the play against Wade.

So while Haslem sits Thursday, Hansbrough may play.

“It’s very disappointing, obviously,” Miami forward Shane Battier said Wednesday night. “But we’re a resilient group. …

The verdict process is a mystery to players, and so we don’t get caught up in it.

We can’t control it. We know the NBA’s going to do what they feel they need to do and we need to live with the consequences. So it’s really out of our hands, not worth getting riled up. We’re going to put together an effort that will make Udonis and Dexter proud.”

The Heat lead the series

3-2, after a 115-83 win Tuesday night in a game that had the three flagrant fouls on the court, accusations of dirty play afterward and finally with Pacers team president Larry Bird telling The Indianapolis Star that his team was “soft” in Game 5.

“I agree with his assessment. We did play soft,” Indiana’s Danny Granger said Wednesday. “We got smacked around. We got beat up, we got bullied, and we really didn’t respond well.”

Countered Miami’s LeBron James, the NBA’s reigning MVP: “He’s just trying to amp them up.

That’s all. That’s all it is. He knows his team isn’t soft.

But with them, with their backs against the wall at this point, he knows what he’s doing. He’s not the executive of the year for no reason.”

Pittman logged only six minutes in the playoffs any-

way, his presence in the postseason barely noticed until he laid out Stephenson — who made at least one choke sign toward James earlier in the series — with a forearm to the chin and shoulder areas.

“Hard fouls are part of the playoffs,” Indiana coach Frank Vogel said Wednesday. “Fouls to the head have no place in this game, not by us, not by Miami, not by any other team in any other series.

With all the concussion research that’s been going on over the last few years it’s a very serious matter and it just doesn’t have any place in the game.”

Wade sounded somewhat amused that Granger — who’s been whistled for three technicals in the series — was one of the Pacers suggesting Haslem and Pittman should be susAP PHOTO pended.

A tiny piece of equipment in constant evolution Designed to elevate the ball on the tee-off, the tee has evolved considerably over the years. This simple little wooden peg has made a lot of progress and still remains an important accessory for golfers.

The time is long gone when players used a pile of sand to elevate the ball! The arrival of the wooden tee not only allowed golfers to improve their drives but also to avoid damaging the grass on the tee-offs. Tees have become much more sophisticated over the years. These days they are made mainly from variously coloured wood or plastic. Some golfers prefer the traditional wooden tees for their effectiveness, while others will opt for those made in plastic because of their greater durability.

Large manufacturers of golf equipment are constantly searching for improvements and a wide variety of tees are now available on the market. One option is the wooden tee in two colours and varying lengths, while the range of plastic tees is more elaborate. Apart from conventional tees it is also possible to obtain “zero friction” tees, where the ball is placed on three small supports. There are also oversized “brush”

tees that reduce the rotation of the ball and tees of adjustable heights. Biodegradable tees made of bamboo are also available in specialized stores.

It’s hard to believe that one of the smallest and most useful accessories continues to help golfers improve their game!

Approach shots make all the difference Getting to the green on par (one shot for a par 3, two for a par 4, and three for a par 5) is not an easy thing to achieve for the average golfer. Even the best players professional manage to maintain a 70 percent success rate with difficulty. That is why it is so important to get good results from your approach shots.

Any expert will tell you that the game around the green is one of the most important, if not the most important element of your golf game. Well-executed approach shots can help you play on par or reduce your score by the end of the round.

In a radius of 25 to 35 metres from the green, the choice of club should take into ac-

1

count the presence or absence of obstacles, the slope of the green, and the position of the flag.

If your ball is positioned right behind a sand trap you will have to lob the ball and limit its roll. A pitching wedge or sand wedge would be appropriate for this type of shot.

The fluidity of the swing and the position (a little closer to the ball with a swinging movement) are the two elements needed for a successful shot. Before hitting the ball, be sure to visualize the spot where you want the ball to land.

If no obstacle is present, use the club which you are most comfortable with. Near the green, a short swing with a 4 or 5 iron will enable you to roll the ball near the target.

Be particularly careful to avoid a hesitant swing and plan to spend some time on the practice range in order to work on your “short” game. This is guaranteed to have a positive effect on your score card.

Golf is a great sport for spending an enjoyable day with all the family.

Playing golf with the family What could be better than spending an enjoyable day on the golf course with the people you love? That’s right! Golf is one of the most popular sports for socializing, relaxing, issuing challenges, and getting lots of fresh air, all at the same time!

The time is long gone when golf clubs were the privileged domain of business men and off limits to women! Today, more and more golf clubs offer various packages so that all the members of a family have access to their courses. Many clubs offer annual memberships to couples or families, allowing parents to plan regular rounds of golf with their children. As well as the pleasure of sharing the same passion, golf allows families to spend quality time together.

If the members of your family aren’t all at the same level, playing at an executive golf course (par 3 and 4) will provide a good initiation for beginners and a different challenge to the more experienced. To add a competitive element to a family round, why not change partners from time to time, forming fatherdaughter, mother-son teams, etc.

A great idea for your next family vacation is to find a destination where you can enjoy the pleasures of golf together. Travel specialists will be able to advise you about foreign travel packages or holiday resorts which specialize in golf and family activities.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

The importance of the mind Golf is a complex game. As well as having to master techniques, golfers must also be able to control their emotions. It’s all true that there is plenty to enjoy in the fresh air and social aspects of the game, but players must also realize that golf is a sport in which the mind plays a vital role.

Experts will tell you that golfers spend an average of 90 percent of their time on the golf course thinking and 10 percent swinging and hitting the ball. This is why it’s so important to make the right decisions.

Whether you’re a regular, occasional, or professional golfer, the object of the game stays the same. Apart from mastering techniques, golf requires concentration and will power. A good balance between discipline, the control of movements, and the psychological aspects of the game will add to your enjoyment and lead to suc-

cess in this demanding sport.

The first thing to realize is that you are, above all, playing for yourself and not for your partners. Set your objectives and give yourself the means of reaching them. Appreciate your good shots and learn to accept the poor ones.

Did you miss a shot because you lifted your head or because your shoulders weren’t in the right position? Tell yourself that this lack of concentration is behind you. In other words don’t dwell on the past, continually thinking about the reasons for missing the shot, as this could well haunt you for the rest of the round.

Success in golf largely depends on your ability to concentrate, to master the techniques of visualization, of positive thinking, and self-confidence. In other words, you are the master of your own destiny!

Apart from mastering techniques, golf also requires concentration and willpower.

Time to make a delicious strawberry snack Family works on repairing house from fire Our work has still been centered around the recent house fire that we experienced. My husband Joe doesn’t have to work the next two days so we are moving the furniture from our bedrooms upstairs to the downstairs and basement. We will set the beds up in the basement for the girls to sleep in.

The boys are sleeping on a bed in the living room now.

The carpenters that are working on the rebuilding said that a sealant will have to be applied to the walls and the floors to block out the smoke smell. They discovered that there was more heat and water damage than realized when I wrote about this a week ago.

Elizabeth’s bedroom has to all be redone as well. Her bedroom seems to be the worst after the boys bedroom.

We are living a little crowded now with all of their belongings and bedroom furniture down here.

I can’t believe all the things the girls have accumu-

lated through the years. I told the girls they are fortunate to be able to clean the smoke from their things since the boys don’t have anything left to clean.

They lost everything that was in their bedroom.

The damage wasn’t just upstairs either. Part of the ceiling had to be redone in the kitchen and dining room.

It needs another layer of drywall mudding and then it is ready to sand and paint.

We will have to repaint the whole ceiling since our living room, dining room and kitchen ceiling are all combined. I have decided to paint the walls too since we will be painting anyway. We have been living in this house for five years now so it will freshen everything up especially now since it was all smoked up.

We cancelled our plans to hold church services in June.

I could not see us getting all the painting, cleaning and so forth done with only four weeks left. We will instead

take our turn twice next year.

I feel so much more relaxed now to clean without that deadline looming. Our plans are just to work on finishing all the upstairs bedrooms before moving all the children’s things back upstairs. It looks like a long, busy summer ahead. And along with everything else going on we are trying to fill our gardens up.

We put out 84 tomato plants this week. We are out of tomato juice so I need to fill those jars again with homemade juice. Lovina had her eighth birthday on Friday the 18th. We were so busy putting in our first cutting of hay and cleaning up from the fire that we didn’t take time to celebrate her birthday. I also had to take Loretta to physical therapy and pick up some groceries. By the time I was done with all that it was time to make supper.

It was a hot day to put up hay but we got 212 bales from the hay field. Joe was glad for the hay as he had just run

THE AMISH COOK

will be 40 in November.

We have been very thankful for the items donated to us since the fire. I also want to thank all the readers for their help. It is used to help to replace shoes, clothes, and so forth for the boys. May God bless everyone for their kindness.

Ask your family to help with your father

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7 p.m.: Midwest Crappie 9 p.m.: Mayor's Report

Dear Annie: My father and I have never had the best relationship. He was domineering, controlling and verbally abusive to me as a teenager, and as a result, I rebelled and did things specifically to irritate him. Several times, he kicked me out of the house, saying I forced him to behave the way he did. I always apologized because it was easier if I kept the peace.

Three years ago, my parents separated. Just before Mom and I moved out, Dad and I got into a huge argument, and he nearly punched me. I did not speak to him for six months. Since then, there's been a thaw in our relationship. He even apologized (which he never does) and seemed more understanding. When I saw him at Christmas, we had a great time together.

However, he hasn't spoken to me since then. There was no fight or argument. I've tried to call him several times to make plans or just talk, and he has ignored my calls and doesn't respond to my voicemails. He broke every coffee date I made, and instead of telling me, he informed my brother or mom that he couldn't make it.

Dad is obviously avoiding me, but I have no idea why. I'm tired of his imaginary issues and "nobody loves me" attitude. Should I confront him and find out why he stopped talking to me or forget him? — Confused and Exhausted Dear Confused: Your relationship with your father is tenuous, and it's possible that maintaining his equilibrium around you is stressful for him.And although his behavior may be difficult, your response likely has its flaws, too.

If you want to know what's going on, please ask your mother or brother to intercede on your behalf and find out whether you have unintentionally done something to aggravate the relationship and how you can repair it. Learning to get along with someone who pushes all your buttons requires ongoing effort. Since it's your father, we think it's worth another try.

Dear Annie: I am boiling mad.

My boyfriend has an adult son who is autistic. After he and his ex separated, she started telling the son horrible lies about both of us.

The son believes her and now wants nothing to do with his father or me. The boy used to speak to us, but now runs the other way when he sees us coming.

What can we do about this?

Please don't say talk to the exwife. She is the source of the problem. My boyfriend is paying child support but doesn't get to spend any time with his son. Also, we suspect little of the money is going for the child's benefit. — The Girlfriend Dear Girlfriend: Since your boyfriend is still paying child support, he may be entitled to regularly enforced visitation with his son. Also, some courts are beginning to recognize and address parental alienation. Please suggest to your boyfriend that he discuss his options with a lawyer who has experience in this area.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Jim in Peoria," who has been married for 42 years and his wife won't "allow" him to do any of the household chores.

I am thoroughly appalled that men do not stand up for themselves, all in the name of keeping peace in the house. I am a divorced man. This woman should be thankful her husband wants to do something to balance out the chores. Nobody could tell me I couldn't wash dishes, cook or do anything else in my own house.

He has just as much of a right to do what he wants in that house as she does. Walking around on eggshells in your own home is NOT worth a marriage certificate. — Danny in Shreveport Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Remember to wear a helmet when biking Dear Readers: Remember the demonstrations in school: a raw egg cradled in an insulated foam head dropped onto the gym floor, teaching how fragile our heads are?

With summer on the way and kids spending more hours outdoors for a nice bike ride, here’s a little reminder about biking safety: • Pick a helmet that fits you well, is smooth on the outside and has a sticker certifying that it meets the Consumer Product Safety Commission standard. Fitting the CPSC standard is a law — to be sure you’re safe.

Hints from Heloise Columnist • Always wear your helmet level, covering your forehead, with the straps fastened securely under your chin.

• The best helmet to buy isn’t always the most expensive! The Bicycle Helmet

Safety Institute (www. bhsi.org) states that regardless of price, the protection from impact is equal across the board for CPSC-approved helmets. Prices can range from $10 to $200.

• Wearing a helmet doesn’t give you license to be reckless, but it will provide protection in case something does happen. Be sure to wear one ever time you ride.

Be safe, have fun and enjoy being outside. — Heloise NEW BATTERIES Dear Heloise: All the media suggest changing batteries in our smoke alarm

when the time changes.

Since daylight saving time is now for nearly eight months, this leaves batteries in twice as long as “regular time.” I change ours Jan. 1 and July 4.

This equals battery time of six months each, and they are very easy dates to remember.

— J.B. in Atlanta, Texas You can do this if you like, but according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, once a year is fine for changing the batteries in smoke and carbonmonoxide detectors. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Thursday, May 24, 2012 A number of important changes are likely to be in store for you in the year ahead. Some of them you’ll initiate yourself, but it is likely that the rest will be dictated by events. Regardless of their origin, most will be good for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Rather than be eager to display your knowledge to others, you ought to sit back and be a good listener. You know what you know — now it’s time to find out what others have to offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — When it comes your financial or commercial affairs, you should follow your instincts. Your intuitions could be especially keen, giving you an edge on making or saving money.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Endeavors you personally originate or manage have excellent chances for success. It behooves you to hold on to your authority and avoid delegation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Usually you enjoy being where the action is, but at this juncture, a retreat to peaceful surroundings for whatever amount of time you need may be essential for sorting out your thoughts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t select your companions in a random fashion. If you have a choice, choose the type of friends who operate on your wavelength. Being with good pals makes everything right with the world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Challenging developments have a tendency to bring out your hidden qualities, so don’t try to dodge adversity. You’re not apt to push yourself too hard unless you’re confronted with difficulty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It isn’t likely that you will be impelled to dictate to others what they should do and how they do it, but if anyone asks for advice, what you offer will be sage and constructive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Use your aptitude for finding and bringing out the hidden value in things, and you’ll come out ahead in all your endeavors. You may have to look harder than usual to find the quality, but it’ll be there.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t take it as a personal affront if your partner in a joint endeavor is a bit sharper than you. Use his or her efficacy to feather your nest just as your opposite number is doing.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You shouldn’t have to be told to use your common sense when it comes to matters that relate to your health. Avoid overindulging in life’s tastier tidbits.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Take a little time to arrange a get-together with some friends, even if it’s just for coffee. It’ll do you a lot of good to relax with people who like you as much as you like them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Make an effort to spend some time with people over whom you have an influence, especially if you have something important to impress on them. Don’t be fooled by age or position; these people will be of enormous help to you.

CAIRO (AP) — Determined to end decades of authoritarian rule, millions of Egyptians waited patiently in long lines outside polling stations across the nation on Wednesday to freely choose their first president since last year’s ouster of longtime ruler and close U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak.

“I can die in a matter of months, so I came for my children, so they can live,” a tearful Medhat Ibrahim, 58, who suffers from cancer, said as he waited to vote in a poor district south of Cairo. “We want to live better, like human beings.”

Thirteen candidates, who include Islamists, liberals and Mubarak regime figures, are contesting the election. No outright winner is expected to emerge from the two-day vote starting Wednesday. So, a runoff between the two top finishers will be held June 16-17. The winner will be announced on June 21.

“It’s a miracle,” said Selwa Abdel-Malik, a 60-year-old Christian from the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria as she was about to vote. “And it’s a beautiful feeling too.”

For most of his 29-year rule, Mubarak like his predecessors ran unopposed in yes-or-no referendums. Rampant fraud guaranteed ruling party victories in parliamentary elections. Even when, in 2005, Mubarak let challengers oppose him in elections, he ended up not only trouncing his liberal rival but jailing him.

Zoo veterinarians performed an emergency cesarean section and saved one more cub and the cheetah mother. Two other cubs died.

Now the zoo is offering a first look at the genetically valuable surviving cubs in their new home Wednesday. The zoo is part of an effort to save this endangered species where “every cat counts.”

Stanley. Galvin said his office is investigating whether Morgan Stanley divulged to only some clients that one of its analysts had cut his revenue estimates for Facebook before the stock hit the market on Friday.

The bank said late Tuesday that it “followed the same procedures for the Facebook offering that it follows for all IPOs,” referring to initial public offerings of stock. It said that its procedures complied with regulations.

The questions about the role played by Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter for the deal, add to the confusion surrounding Facebook’s IPO. In the most hotly anticipated stock debut in years, the offering raised $16 billion for the social networking company, valuing it at $104 billion.

Additional details emerge in Secret Service scandal WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators investigating the Secret Service prostitution scandal said Wednesday that dozens of reported episodes of misconduct by agents point to a culture of carousing in the agency and urged Director Mark Sullivan to get past his insistence that the romp in Cartagena was a one-time mistake.

The disconnect between the senators and Sullivan reappeared again and again throughout the twohour hearing, even as the Secret Service chief for the first time apologized for the incident that tarnished the elite presidential protection force. By the end, Sullivan’s job appeared secure even as new details emerged that left little doubt, senators said, that a pattern of sexual misbehavior had taken root in the agency.

“He kept saying over and over again that he basically does think this was an isolated incident and I don’t think he has any basis for that conclusion,” said Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the senior Republican on the Homeland Security panel that heard Sullivan’s first public accounting of the episode.

“For the good of the Secret Service,” added Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, the panel chairman, “he’s got to assume that what happened in Cartagena was not an isolated incident or else it will happen again.”

Still, Sullivan insisted repeatedly that in his 29year Secret Service career he had never heard anyone say that misconduct was condoned, implicitly or otherwise.

“I just do not think that this is something that is systemic within this organ-

ization,” Sullivan said.

The misconduct became public after a dispute over payment between a Secret Service agent and a prostitute at a Cartagena hotel on April 12. The Secret Service was in the Colombian coastal resort for a Latin American summit before Obama’s arrival.

Twelve employees were implicated, eight of them ousted, three cleared of serious misconduct and one is being stripped of his security clearance. Sullivan said two who initially resigned now are fighting for their jobs back.

“These individuals did some really dumb things,” Sullivan told the Senate panel. “I’m hoping I can convince you that it isn’t a cultural issue.”

He didn’t make much progress on that front, as senators offered fresh evidence of what they considered reckless behavior.

Lieberman said 64 allegations or complaints of sexual misconduct were made against Secret Service employees in the last five years.

Three of those, Lieberman said, were complaints of inappropriate relationships with a foreign national and one of “nonconsensual intercourse,” on which he didn’t have enough information to elaborate. Sullivan said that complaint was investigated by outside law enforcement officers, who decided not to prosecute.

Thirty other cases involved alcohol, Lieberman said, almost all relating to driving under the influence.

Sullivan also told the committee an agent was fired in a 2008 Washington prostitution episode, after trying to hire an uncover police officer.

POLICY: Please Check Your Ad The 1st Day. It Is The Advertiser’s Responsibility To Report Errors Immediately.

Publisher Will Not Be Responsible for More Than One Incorrect Insertion. We Reserve The Right To Correctly Classify, Edit, Cancel Or Decline Any Advertisement Without Notice.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.
