Pastor settling into new job, life in Troy Spain at odds over bailout Spain’s grinding economic misery will get worse this year, despite the country’s request for a European financial lifeline of up to 100 billion ($125 billion) to save its banks, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said Sunday. A day after the country conceded it needed outside help following months of denying it would seek assistance, Rajoy said more Spaniards will lose their jobs in a country where one out of every four are already unemployed.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The nation’s unemployment rate of 8.2 percent may sink President Barack Obama’s re-election bid, but one detail brightens his hopes. About 10 battleground states will decide the election, and seven of them have OBAMA employment levels that beat the U.S. average. That doesn’t guarantee a second term, of course. But it’s a reminder that the national rate, from a purely political standpoint, is not necessarily the be-all, end-all statistic. Most of the states are led by Republican governors eager to highlight their progress in creating jobs. That complicates GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s claim that the economy has been so mismanaged that Obama deserves to be ousted. In addition, a chief Romney criticism, that Obama is hindering energy production, is undermined by robust drilling for natural gas that’s creating jobs and some wealthy landowners in two important states, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In Ohio, the quintessential toss-up state and practically a must-win for Romney, Republican Gov. John Kasich tries to finesse the political dilemma by saying jobs have increased despite Obama’s policies. “We fight like crazy to outperform the federal government,” he told reporters last week in the Statehouse in Columbus. “We have. We’re down to 7.4 percent unemployment.” But Ohio can’t continually buck the national trend, Kasich said, and he warned of a likely drop in job growth soon, largely due to gridlock and uncertainty in Washington. “Rome is on fire and it’s singeing places like Ohio,” he said. “We’ll go our own way, but the headwinds are

Oakley’s gun fetches $143,400 at auction McALLEN, Texas (AP) — A shotgun that once belonged to Western sharpshooter and entertainer Annie Oakley sold for more than $143,000 at an auction in Dallas on Sunday. The trove of about 100 of the icon’s items headlining Heritage Auctions’ “Legends of the Wild West” event brought in nearly $520,000, according to the auction house. The items included several guns, her Stetson hat, photographs and letters. Oakley’s great-grandnieces put up the items and had inherited them from their mother, who died in 2009. One of those descendants, Terrye Holcomb, said, overall, the auction’s success left her with a positive feeling, but “there’s a little bit of melancholy and sadness that goes with it.” The items had been passed down through generations. Holcomb remembers shooting

the guns for target practice on Sunday mornings in California’s Santa Monica Mountains and wearing Oakley’s Stetson hat which sold for $17,925 for Halloween. But Holcomb said seeing how excited some of the buyers were with their purchases made her feel good. One man who flew in from Odessa to bid on one of two Marlin .22 caliber rifles — one sold for $71,700, the other for $83,650 — asked Holcomb and her sister, Tommye Tait, to sign his catalog after buying one of the rifles. “He said his kids couldn’t wait to shoot it,” Holcomb said. The sisters inherited the items from their mother, Billie Butler Serene, who died in 2009 at the age of 95. Serene was raised by her grandparents, and her grandfather, William Butler, was the brother of Oakley’s husband,

Frank Butler, a marksman who became Oakley’s manager. Oakley and Frank Butler frequently visited and Oakley taught Serene how to handle a gun. Holcomb said she grew up hearing stories about Oakley without fully realizing her impact. “I’ve not ceased being amazed by her enduring legacy,” she said. Oakley’s Parker Brothers 12gauge shotgun garnered the highest price, $143,400. Holcomb said she thought the shotgun’s winning bid was placed by phone or via the Internet. “Annie Oakley was arguably America’s first female superstar, touring the United States and the world in the late 1800s and early 20th century and demonstrating her legendary Wild West sharpshooting skills,” Tom Slater, Director of Historical Auctions for Heritage, said in a prepared statement Sunday.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 kicking up again.” Some of the most politically contested states are struggling more than others. Florida’s unemployment rate has dropped steadily for nearly a year, but at 8.7 percent still tops the national average. North Carolina’s rate is even worse, and Nevada has the highest, 11.7 percent. If Obama were to carry all the competitive states where the employment rate is brighter than the national average New Hampshire, Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Colorado he would win re-election handily. But if he loses the battleground states where the rate now exceeds 7 percent, an oft-cited threshold that may mean nothing, Romney would prevail because he would take Ohio, Pennsylvania and Colorado, plus Florida, North Carolina and Nevada. Romney campaign also must cope with boasts, often by Republicans and business leaders, that things are much better at the local level than in other regions. “Midwest has economy on right track,” said an op-ed headline last week in The Columbus Dispatch. Stephen D. Steinour, president of Huntington Bancshares, wrote: “The Midwest is not only resurgent, it is leading the national economic recovery.” Ohio’s unemployment rate has fallen nine months in a row. That trend encourages Obama’s supporters, but it might have scant influence on the Nov. 6 election. Several political scientists’ studies have concluded that voters are less influenced by local and state economic trends than by national statistics. Also, U.S. unemployment climbed so sharply, starting in mid-2008, that even a steady decline over the past year still leaves millions without jobs. Politicians use such statistics to portray their records in the best possible light, and their opponents in the worst. In Ohio, Democrats are seizing on two giants of the industrial sector, energy and automobile production, to try to undercut Romney. Republicans often accuse Obama of thwarting energy production. But he largely has encouraged the dramatic

growth in natural gas extraction taking place in Pennsylvania, Ohio and a few other states. In a process known as hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” pressurized water and chemicals are injected into underground shale, extracting oil, natural gas and other profitable gasses. Thousands of wells have been drilled in western Pennsylvania, helping the state lower its unemployment rate from 8.1 percent last August to 7.4 percent this spring. Ohio trails Pennsylvania in gas well production. But fracking has boosted Ohio’s sagging steel industry through its need for specialized pipes. Hulking, largely silent steel plants in Youngstown, Canton, Lorain and other towns are adding workers and production lines. The revived U.S. auto industry also is demanding more steel, and there, too, Ohio Democrats see a point to raise against Romney. Romney opposed federal subsidies that propped up Chrysler and General Motors as they approached bankruptcy in early 2009. Romney said private investments should have been used, but officials overseeing the process said no such funds were available and the companies would have collapsed. “The rescue of the auto industry was the greatest contributor” to Ohio’s recent economic growth, said former Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat ousted by Kasich in 2010. When Romney called it an unwarranted payoff to labor unions, Strickland said, he showed “a lack of understanding of this industry.” If Ohio’s manufacturing sector is showing new signs of life, many residents have yet to see it. The impact on the presidential race is hard to predict. In Elyria, west of Cleveland and not far from Lorain, college-educated people who once made $60,000 a year are begging for jobs as cooks making $9.50 an hour at Applebee’s, said the restaurant’s manager, Tony Tenorio. “We get tons and tons of applications,” said Tenorio, 30. “We can be really picky.” Across the street are empty buildings that once housed a T.G.I. Friday’s, Longhorn Steakhouse and the Eat’n Park cafe. “It’s pretty tough,” Tenorio said, adding that Applebee’s less-expensive entrees are popular.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 started closer to homes, said Dan Ware, a spokesman for the New Mexico State Forestry Division. He said the number of Ruidoso evacuees was in the hundreds, but he didn’t have an exact figure. Firefighters also were battling a wildfire that blackened 6 square miles in Wyoming’s Guernsey State Park and forced the evacuation of campers and visitors. Cooler weather was helping firefighters in their battle Sunday against two other wildfires in southern Utah. In Colorado, authorities sent 1,600 evacuation notices to phone numbers but it wasn’t immediately clear how many residents had to leave. About 500 people had checked in at Red Cross shelters. Law officers went door to door to alert people in the evacuation area on Saturday, with flames licking at some of those units, Larimer County sheriff Justin Smith said. He said there was an unconfirmed report of a person unaccounted for, but he wouldn’t elaborate. Authorities say it’s the worst fire seen in the county in about 25 years. It spread as fast as 1 1 1/2 miles an hour Saturday, skipping and jumping over some areas but burning intensely in trees in others. Flames were coming dangerously close to deputies who were telling some residents to evacuate, Sheriff Justin Smith said. Because of the erratic way the fire has burned, unburned structures within the fire perimeter remain at risk. Kathie Walter and her husband helped friends several miles away evacuate from the Colorado fire on Saturday. When they got home, they were surprised to get a call warning them to be ready to evacuate just in case. But Walter didn’t want to wait. “Smoke was coming in

hard. We could not see flames or orange or black smoke. But we didn’t need see anymore. We just said ‘Hey, let’s get out of here,’” she said. They evacuated with their five cats and two dogs. They had a head start. After a wildfire in the area last year, they had left two suitcases packed in their garage. Elaine Mantle and her family got a call to evacuate their Bellvue home at 5:45 a.m. Sunday. It took about 30 minutes for them to get out and reach a spillover shelter at the Budweiser Event Center in Loveland. Evacuees gathered there for a fire briefing, sipping coffee and eating bananas and powdered doughnuts, in a large gymnasium-like space. It was the Mantles’ first evacuation in the 25 years that they have lived in the mountains, and they were grateful to be safe. “We’re all here, we’re all OK. Our neighbors are all here. We feel good,” Mantle said. She, her husband and adult daughter checked for fire information updates on their phones as they waited for the briefing to begin. The evacuees included 11 wolves from a sanctuary near the fire. KUSA-TV in Denver reported that 19 wolves remained behind at the sanctuary, which has concrete underground bunkers known as “fire dens” that can be used by the animals. The blaze is the latest to hit Colorado’s droughtstricken Front Range. In May, a fire set by a camper’s stove charred 12 square miles in the same Poudre Canyon area. In March, the Lower North Fork Fire 25 miles southwest of Denver killed three people and damaged or destroyed more than two dozen homes. That fire was triggered by a prescribed burn by the state forest service that grew out of control. Eight air tankers including two from Canada and several helicopters were on the scene to help fight the blaze, which appeared to be burning on private and U.S. Forest Service land and was expected to be fueled by wind gusts of up 40 mph Sunday. Wind has played a major role in the spread of both of the fires.

Such activities are what Allen says are vitally important for a congregation whose mission statement is “Inviting all people to faith, relationships and service through Jesus Christ.” “All people are welcome. The United Church of Christ prides itself on being diverse and active,” Allen said. “I think churches always need to have their finger on the pulse of the community.”

Amateur radio event returns to Tipp City For the Troy Daily News

TIPP CITY

Despite the Internet, cell phones, email and modern communications, every year whole regions find themselves in the dark. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and even the occasional cutting of fiber optic cables leave people without the means to communicate. In these cases, the one consistent service that has never failed has been amateur radio. These radio operators, often called â&#x20AC;&#x153;hamsâ&#x20AC;? provide backup communications for everything from the American Red Cross to FEMA and even for the International Space Station. Tipp City â&#x20AC;&#x153;hamsâ&#x20AC;? will join with thousands of other amateur radio operators showing their emergency capabilities this weekend. Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications during unexpected emergencies in towns across America, including the California wildfires, winter storms, tornadoes and other events world-wide. When trouble is brewing, amateur radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people are often the first to provide rescuers with critical information and communications. On the weekend of June 23-24, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with Tipp Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about as hams across the U.S. will be holding public demonstrations of emergency communications abilities. For the 12th year, the Tipp City Amateur Radio Group and the American Radio Relay League, the national association for Amateur Radio have sponsored the areas annual event, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Field Day,â&#x20AC;? which is the climax of the week long â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amateur Radio Week.â&#x20AC;? Using only emergency power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. Their slogan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When all else fails,

ham radio works,â&#x20AC;? is more than just words to the hams as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, Internet or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fastest way to turn a crisis into a total disaster is to lose communications,â&#x20AC;? said Allen Pitts of the ARRL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the earthquake and tsunami in Japan to tornadoes in Missouri, ham radio provided the most reliable communication networks in the first critical hours of the events. Because ham radios are not dependent on the Internet, cell towers or other infrastructure, they work when nothing else is available. We need nothing between us but air.â&#x20AC;? In the Tipp City area, the Tipp City Amateur Radio Group will be demonstrating Amateur Radio at the Tipp City Park Roundhouse on June 23 and 24. The group invites the public to come and see ham radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new capabilities and learn how to get their own FCC radio license before the next disaster strikes. Amateur radio is growing in the U.S. There are now more than 700,000 amateur radio licensees in the U.S., and more than 2.5 million around the world. Through the ARRLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amateur Radio Emergency Services program, ham volunteers provide both emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies and non-emergency community services too, all for free. To learn more about amateur radio, go to www.emergency-radio.org or www.tcar.org. Jim Fry or Karen Fry may be contacted at (937)387-6769 or jfry@cmdtechnologies.com for more information

Laser Tag • Inflatables • Games

Shoot some hoops! Play a game of HORSE or one-on-one. Basketball is a great way to get your heart rate up and it is also great for hand/eye coordination.

On This Day June 11 In 1942, the United States and Soviet Union signed a lend lease agreement to aid the Soviet war efforts in World War II.

Fun Stuff • Enjoy the pool this summer, and pool games like Marco Polo, and swim races. • Set up an obstacle course in your backyard or at the playground. Use a variety of obstacles for challenge such as jump rope, soccer ball or tennis racket. • On a hot day, don’t forget water guns and water balloons. • Hopscotch and Jacks

Write On! We want to hear what you are doing this summer. Are you going someplace that has a lot of history? If so, take some pictures and write and tell us what you experienced.

You have worked hard all school year doing your lessons. Now it’s time for a break and some summer fun! Get out of the house, breath some fresh air, and turn fitness into a lifelong investment. Fitness promotes heathly behaviors, improves self-esteem and wellness. Here are some summer activity ideas for you to enjoy. Newspapers in Education will be working hard the next few months to provide you with new and exciting pages for the upcoming school year. Have a safe and happy summer! Top 5 Reasons Why Physical Activity Is Cool Most people know what physical activity is, but do you know why physical activity is so important? It isn't so you can look all sweaty like people on television commercials for exercise equipment. And it isn't so you can have huge muscles to bust out of your clothes like a superhero, either. Physical activity is important because it keeps people's bodies – and minds – healthy. Without physical activity, we wouldn't feel or look very good. Actually, there are so many reasons why physical activity is good for you, it's time to get right into it and see why it's cool to be fit! Reason # 1: Physical Activity Makes You Feel Good Being active is a most excellent way to feel happy, whether you do it on your own or with a group. If you've had a tough day at school, a fight with your friend, or just feel kind of blue or stressed out, moving your body can help you relax and feel better. Plus,

when you're breathing deeply during physical activity and bringing more air into your lungs, your brain likes the extra oxygen. And when you're active and running around, sometimes it's hard to think about just what was bothering you. Physical activity can make you feel better about yourself, too. When you are stronger and better at doing things, you can feel pretty proud – whether you scored the winning goal or Hula-Hooped for an hour straight! Reason # 2: Physical Activity Helps Keep Your Weight Healthy Every time you eat food, your body does the same thing: it "eats" the nutrients in the food as fuel. It burns these nutrients, or calories, to give us energy. You need calories for all the stuff you do, like brushing your teeth and breathing. So it's important for kids to get all the calories they need from the foods they eat. But if the body isn't able to use all the calories that are coming from food, it stores them away as fat. Physical activity helps keep your weight right for your height by burning up extra calories. When you are active, your body uses that extra fuel to keep you going strong. Reason # 3: Physical Activity Makes Your Heart Happy Your heart is the hardestworking muscle in your body. Its #1 job is to pump blood through your body every day of your life! Since it can't lift weights to get stronger, it needs you to do aerobic exercise. Aerobic is a fancy word for

Fun With Food

needing oxygen, and aerobic exercise is any kind of activity that makes your muscles use oxygen. Aerobic exercise is the kind you do over and over to keep bringing fresh oxygen to all of your muscles. When you do aerobic activity and bring in that oxygen, your heart becomes stronger (and even a tiny bit bigger!). The number of blood cells in your blood increases, so the blood can carry even more oxygen. The blood in your body even moves more easily through the blood vessels. All these things mean that your body works better to keep you healthy, and you can play hard without getting worn out. It's a good idea for kids to do some kind of aerobic activity two or three times a week, for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Bring on the oxygen by swimming, basketball, ice or roller hockey, jogging (or walking fast), in-line skating, soccer, cross-country skiing, biking and rowing. Even dancing, skipping and jumping rope are aerobic activities. Try to move for 60 minutes every day. This can include your favorite aerobic activities and other moves like walking the dog or doing things around the house, like vacuuming, sweeping and raking leaves. You can even reach your 60-minute goal by moving for 10 minutes at a time throughout the day. Go for it! Reason # 4: Physical Activity Makes You Stronger All the muscles in your body do a fine job when you use them for easy stuff, like picking up a book or walking down the stairs. But what about using them for harder stuff, like taking long bike rides, climbing a tree or carrying your backpack to class? That's where activity comes in: it makes your muscles get stronger and

sometimes larger. As your muscles get stronger, you can do more active things for longer periods of time. And strong muscles also help protect you from injuries when you play, because they give better support to your joints (where your bones meet). Building up all different types of muscles is easy to do. For awesome arms, try push-ups, pullups, tug-of-war or twirling a baton. And don't forget the strength of the sea: rowing in a rowboat or canoe is great for building strong arm muscles. For strong leg muscles, try running, blading, skating and bike riding. And for strong stomach muscles (these are the muscles called "abs"–abdomen is a fancy word for the area below your rib cage), try some half situps (with your knees bent and your feet on the floor), bike riding or even swirling a Hula-Hoop around your waist. Now that's fun! Reason # 5: Physical Activity Makes You Flexible Can you touch your toes easily without yelling "ouch"? If so, you're pretty flexible, which means you can bend and stretch your body without too much trouble. But as people get older they tend to get less flexible, so that's why it's important to be active when you're a kid – to stay flexible. Plus, when you're flexible, you can play harder without having to worry about getting sprained and strained muscles. It's easy to find things to do for good flexibility! Tumbling and gymnastics are great ways to become more flexible. And say "yes" to yoga. Don't forget dancing, especially ballet. And for fans of karate, tae kwon do and other martial arts, you're in luck: these sports are great for flexibility, you'll be feeling fine and having fun!

You've heard it at least a million times — eat your fruits and veggies! After all, they're packed with lots of good-for-you vitamins, minerals and fiber. To look good and feel good, you need to eat at least 2 ½ cups of veggies and 1 ½ cups of fruits every day (that's if you eat 1,800 calories a day — your amounts could be different if you eat a different number of calories). Don't worry — you don't have to eat a cup at a time! Eating smaller bits of fruits and veggies throughout the day counts toward your total. And you might be amazed at how fruits and veggies are in lots of other foods you eat (think vegetable soup or veggie-topped pizza, even)! If your usual fruit and veggie total isn't measuring up — or if your usual selections seem ho-hum, try these totally weird but tasty ways to (fruit and) veg out today! Pick out something funny sounding. Like kohlrabi … or cardoon … or carambola — the first two are veggies and the second one's a fruit! Go grocery shopping with your parents and ask them to buy the funniest sounding fruit or veggie you can find. Taste-test it with your family when you get home. Bite into a PBB, PBA, PBR or PBC sandwich. Instead of jelly, that's peanut butter with sliced bananas, sliced apples, raisins or shredded carrots. Chill out with a frozen fruit bar. Ask your parents to get the kind made with 100 percent fruit juice. Create a different kind of crunch. Pile your sandwich with sliced cucumber, arugula, radishes, celery, red pepper or water chestnuts. Order a pineapple-topped pizza. If fruity pizza is not your thing, load it with veggies like green peppers, mushroom, onions and tomatoes. Escape with a frozen grape. Take some grapes off the stem, wash and dry them, put them in a bowl or a sealed plastic baggie and pop them into the freezer for an hour or so. A real cool treat! Create a patriotic yogurt. Stir blueberries and chopped up strawberries into vanilla yogurt.

Summer Back Yard Scavenger Hunt • Identify Your Teams Divide the kids into teams and have them select a name for their team. • Select The Area For The Hunt To Take Place You will want to select boundaries and keep the area limited. Use caution tape to create the boundaries. Hide the items within the boundaries. Make sure the lighting is adequate. You can use indoors or outdoors. • Bags Are Required Decorated bags should be given to each child. This will help them to navigate and keep organized. • Prizes Make It Fun Select prizes for each team. Even if it is just a certificate of accomplishment. 1. Find something green 2. Get the signature and favorite food of an adult. 3. Find a stick longer than 1 foot. 4. Gather three different types of leaves. 5. Find a rock that is bigger than a quarter. 6. Find something prickly. 7. What is the make/model and color of the car the owner of the house drives? 8. How many doors does the house have? 9. Do 10 jumping jacks in front of an adult and have the put a * on your paper 10. Find a flower 11. How many bikes are in the garage? 12. What color is the house? 13. Find something that will float. 14. How many people live in this house? 15. Find something soft. 16. Find something that you can recycle. 17. List how many things you can find that are blue. 18. Find something that can be filled with water.

Mash up some color. Instead of regular mashed potatoes, ask Mom or Dad to make some mashed sweet potatoes. They're orange, smooth and oh-so-sweet!

The Ghost in the Courthouse Statue

"I see how having this information has motivated you," he said. "Would you like to know more, my leetle friend?" "I'm not sure," I said. "There is a reason I still live in ze statue and wander around ze courthouse after all these years," he said, drawing on his pipe. "When one of ze Matlock brothers keeled me, it was three against one. I had written an editorial, calling them 'lilly-livered blackguards.' We wrote more colorfully in those days. I felt these outlaws had terrorized Jefferson for long enough, with their plundering and keeling. Something had to be done. Eef ze sheriff was afraid to do something about them, I would take matters into my own hands. "So I met them in a shootout. I was standing right where ze statue is today. Two of them died at my hand. But one - ze dirtiest, lowest, most cowardly coward of them all - William Matlock, sneaked around and shot me in ze back. Since I did not rid ze town of these vermin, his offspring have perpetrated many crimes through ze years against the fine citizens of Jefferson. Bad blood all the way down ze line. Today his great-great-greatgrandson ees Sheriff Matlock. So you see, I have unfinished business." "Fine," I said, "but what's it got to do with me?" "Everything, mon ami," he said. "According to ze rules governing ghostly matters, I must enlist the services of a living person to assist me. That would be you." At last, Felix's weird afterlife behavior was

starting to make sense. But there was one thing I didn't understand. "Okay, I get that you can't meddle too much in our world, or you'll be stuffed back inside the statue. And I also get that you have to use a real person to help you take on the sheriff," I said. "But what I don't get is why you picked me? I'm just a kid." Felix smiled. "Eet ees no coincidence that you are ze only human who can hear or see me. I can only rid ze town of a Matlock heir through the help of my own heir. And theese heir must speak to me before I can speak to him. It ees a cosmic principle of justice." "And since I'm descended from you... and spoke to you..." I said. "Tag - you're eet," he said. "I'm it?" I said. "Don't I get a say-so in this?" "You're ze only one who fits ze cosmic criteria," he said. "Ze only one who can save your mother and ze nincompoop editor. But eef you'd rather let them be keeled...." "No, no, I'll do it," I said. "Fantastique! Because I have already hatched ze plan," Felix said. When Felix said 'hatched,' it made me remember my eggheaded friend. He was still where I had hidden him. I reached down and retrieved Humpty from under the gazebo bench. He might be helpful later, but for now, I decided I'd take him to the back office of The Times. He could hang out with my other puppets and stuffed animals, while Felix and I went to work - getting the bad guys. "I must warn you. Ze plan ees dangerous," said Felix. "I don't care. I'd do anything to save Mom," I said. "In that case, mon ami, we will do it together!"

"Who do you think made the turnip say that, Miss Sawdust-For-Brains?" asked Clint. Judge Roberts sprang to her feet. "That does it. Sheriff, are you going to sit there and let him talk to a lady like that?" "A lady! Where is she?" Clint said, pretending to search for one. "Clint, quit your agitatin'. Now!" Sheriff Matlock hollered. "You're gettin' on my last nerve." He motioned for Judge Roberts to sit down. Clint looked at his feet like a whipped puppy. After a pause, he said something I never saw coming. "What if this Jake fella figures out we killed old youknow-who?" Judge Roberts gulped and flung a dramatic hand to her forehead. "Oh my gosh! You don't think he could be onto us, do you?"

STORY SO FAR: After Donnie meets Felix's ghost, they spy on Sheriff Matlock and his "posse" - Clint Ratchett and Judge Lulu Roberts. Donnie laughs out loud after Clint's toupée is mistaken for a rat. The noise alerts the crooked threesome, who rush to the window to find the source of the sound. I sat there on the tree limb frozen with fear, as the flashlight beam climbed toward me. With the circle of light only a few feet below my shoes, I leapt to a limb on the other side of the tree and hid behind the trunk. Just in time. A second later, the flashlight shone on the spot where I'd been. It lit up an empty fork in the tree trunk. "Tain't nuthin' but a squirrel," the sheriff said. "Prob'ly got annoyed by all the ruckus y'all was raisin'." "You sure it's not a rat?" Clint asked with a wicked gleam in his eye. "Oh my gosh! Not again!" Judge Roberts squealed, leaping back from the window. "Just funnin' with ya, Judge." Clint laughed. She swung her purse, clobbering him in the head and straightening him up. "You shouldn't play tricks on folks with phobias. You could cause severe psychological damage!" "Will you two idiots please shut up?!" the sheriff barked. He glared at them as he sat back down at his desk. Judge Roberts sniffed, "Well, I don't appreciate being treated in such a manner." "Put a lid on it, your honor," the sheriff growled, chomping hard on his cigar. "I ain't got time for your nonsense tonight." Seated next to me on the tree limb, Felix leaned over and said, "Judge Roberts ees as dumb as ze post." "A real airhead, huh?" I said. "Arrow head?" he asked. "Airhead," I said. "Nothing inside her head but air." "Ah! Now I get eet Donnie," he laughed. "Oui, oui. Much air - leetle brains." I focused my new powers of observation on Lulu Roberts. This dark-haired woman was pretty, but ditzy. She had a blank, far-away look in her eyes like nobody was home. Also, she was kind of a drama queen, making big gestures with her hands whenever she spoke. The sheriff said, "This Jake Passmore is really something else, with those talkin' turnips, space aliens, and such. I'm not sure what to make of him." "If you ask me, he's about three bricks shy of a load," said Clint. "I don't think he's shy," said Judge Roberts. "You should've seen how he flirted with me when I met him the other day." Charlie rolled his eyes. "I didn't mean he was shy." "Then say what you mean," Judge Roberts snipped. "Maybe it's turned out for the best," said the sheriff. "Long as this new editor's sidetracked with his crazy stories, he ain't watching us." "What makes you so sure, boss?" Clint asked. "Didn't that turnip say that the crooks around here were involved in kickbacks and bribes? Sounded like he was talking about us."

ANALYSIS

$2 million gambling bet puts focus on lobbyist ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The sum of what the public knows about the biggest lobbying force in New York politics is a few pages of overall spending figures, generalities about purpose, and blocked-out names on a few state and federal documents. But what the Committee to Save New York does, and who pays for its powerfully spun TV commercials to boost Gov. Andrew Cuomo, became a central question this week after the New York Times revealed gambling interests gave it $2 million as Cuomo prepared to expand casino gambling. The committee was formed days after Cuomo won his seat in 2010 to combat similar organizations funded by public worker unions that fight budget cuts and tax caps. Since then, good-government groups have worried it could act almost like the powerful super political action committees, known as super PACs, which are bludgeoning presidential politics with anonymous messages that resonate with voters by flash and repetition, regardless of veracity. Last week, Cuomo made it clear the Committee to Save New York is even more powerful than a super PAC, which can’t legally coordinate with a candidate. Cuomo spokesman Richard Bamberger, however, said coordination between elected officials and lobbying groups that serve them “is wholly proper, common, and necessary.” “In many ways,” said Bill Mahoney of the New York Public Interest Research Group, “this has probably been more valuable to his governorship and his platform than a traditional super PAC would have been.” In Washington and New York, the rise of wealthy interests influencing the public, anonymously and without limits, turns postWatergate reforms upside down. It also poses uncomfortable questions to Cuomo, who campaigned against a system that “amplifies the voices of wealthy individuals and special interests” and who, as a candidate, promised to “make state government the most transparent and accountable in history.” The $10 million that’s been spent by the Committee to Save New York allowed Cuomo to avoid spending from his formidable $14 million campaign account, which would also require disclosure of donors. In the past, the public worker unions, raising much smaller amounts, pummeled Govs. George Pataki, Eliot Spitzer and David Paterson with TV campaign blitzes. Those governors not only lost to legislators banking on popular support for more school and health care spending, but were also left with dramatically reduced public support. “From the inception of CSNY, we have focused on a reform agenda designed to help create jobs, improve New York’s economy and get state government working for the people again,” said Michael McKeon, spokesman for the Committee to Save New York. The Malaysian gambling giant Genting, one of the interests that contributed to the $2 million donation to the Committee to Save New York, outlined to Cuomo its plan for a convention center and casino at a Cuomo fundraiser in October, according to The Wall Street Journal. That’s at least a breach of etiquette by most Albany politicians who try not to appear to be working a deal with one hand while receiving a check with another. Three months later, Cuomo made that convention center plan a centerpiece of his State of the State speech. The Committee to Save New York, considered a so-called 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization under law, pushed Cuomo’s cap on the growth in property taxes, his budget and other fiscal measures. More directly and publicly, Cuomo assembled a similar coalition of gay rights activists to focus message and funding to legalize gay marriage.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP McCook (Neb.) Daily Gazette on what we eat: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who succeeded in outlawing trans fats in french fries and other New York restaurant food, and forced chain eateries to list calories on menus, has taken aim at super-sized sugary sodas. The Board of Health is expected to approve the ban, which could take effect as early as March. The ban would apply only to sweetened drinks over 16 ounces that contain more than 25 calories per 8 ounces — that would cover most regular sodas. It wouldn’t affect diet

soda, any drink that’s at least 70 percent juice or one that is at least half milk or milk substitute. Starbucks Frappuccinos would probably be exempted because of their dairy content, and Slurpees and Big Gulps at 7-Eleven would still be OK because those stores are regulated like grocery stores. How does the mayor justify this intrusion into personal freedom? The City Health Commissioner estimates obesity-related illnesses in New York City cost $4 billion a year. More and more scientists are seeing sugar as a dangerous, addictive substance, and soft drinks as the

biggest single source of added sugar in the American diet. Bloomberg admits people will still be free to order more than one drink, but thinks limiting servings to 16 ounces at restaurants, delis, sports arenas and movie theaters would help. … Should consumers be able to make good decisions about their health? Yes. Do they? For the most part, the evidence shows, the answer is no, especially when corporations have an interest in making sure they don’t. If the big soda ban is put into effect and proves to work, look for more intrusion into personal freedom.

DOONESBURY

My two cents’ worth about the new two bits In what must be the most ingenious marketing scheme ever, someone is selling money. Specifically, someone is hawking a new set of quarters featuring American’s national parks. They are NEW and they are available if you act RIGHT NOW. Yes, if you jump right to it (and you’d better because they WILL NEVER BE MINTED AGAIN) you can purchase twenty quarters for only $9 and 95 cents. True, its’ been a long time since Mr. Fogt drilled the basics of mathematics into my hard little head. But by my rudimentary calculations, twenty quarters is approximately $5. Man, I wish I’d have thought of this. Many of us already have, stuffed away in a drawer somewhere, the state-specific quarters that were issued over the past thirteen years or so. These quarters are supposed to represent what each state is famous for. Vermont’s depicts an ear-flapcapped man collecting sap from maple trees with soaring mountains in the background. In really small print is the notation “freedom and unity.” It’s hard to come out against freedom and unity. Iowa’s shows a one-room schoolhouse with the perquisite schoolmarm in front. Its small print

Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist reminds us that Iowa has a foundation in education. Now you would think Iowans would somehow have worked corn into the picture on their coin even though a quarter is, you know, pretty small. In the same space, though, those crazy kids from Arkansas managed to picture a duck, some sort of tall grass, a river, a forest, and a great big diamond. I’ve been to Arkansas. I did not see any large diamonds. I did not see any small diamonds. I did see a real nice museum dedicated to the story of brine. Brine is big in Arkansas. One thing about brine, no other state is likely to copy it. This is more important than you might think because there is a lot of duplication going on. Horses running free and ships sailing on the ocean are on quarters every-

where. Bison abound. Trees, singularly or in groups figure heavily. Those states that have mountains seem to be proud of them. Lots of western states put mountains on their quarters. Two states feature the Wright Brothers and their airplane … us and those first-flight wannabes from North Carolina. Ohio supplied the brains and North Carolina supplied the wind. (By the way, Ohio does not have any mountains on its quarter. Sorry, Bellefontaine.) People become very attached to their quarter collections. A friend of mine was trying to exit the Florida turnpike at 3 a.m. Many of the exits are not manned at this hour. Drivers are supposed to chuck the correct amount of money into the toll booth basket and move on. Unfortunately, Terry was not prepared for this. He was apparently traveling light with no excess baggage such as loose change. He and his passenger started rooting around the car to try to find a stray quarter. They looked under the seats. They squeezed their hands into every upholstered crevice trying to find a lousy two bits. Finally, and remember it is three in the morning, his passenger came up with a single quarter that had been shar-

ing the hinter regions of the back seat with a half cup of lint and a mummified French fry. Terry took one look and declared this quarter was off-limits because it was the much-desired Colorado quarter and it had taken him a long time to get it and he didn’t know when he would get another and it was the last one he needed to complete his set and he sure as heck wasn’t going to toss it into some anonymous toll road bin in Florida and surely there was another quarter somewhere in the darn car did you check the trunk? My own collection is sitting in an Altoid tin in my hall tree. Fifty-two quarters, including Washington, D.C. (picturing Duke Ellington and declaring “justice for all”) and Puerto Rico (a fort, a flower, and “the isle of enchantment” — I think — my Spanish is a little rusty.) But I’m not unnaturally attached to it. If I’m ever stuck on the Florida turnpike in the middle of the night and I need a quarter to get off, I’ll gladly give up one of my quarters. They can have North Carolina.

Pete Cosey’s musical journey began early, his daughter said, noting that Cosey’s father died when he was 9 years old. “That’s how he dealt with his father’s passing … and if I had to pick one instance in his life that just really rocked his world, that was it,” she said. “I think he tried to spend his time trying to communicate with my granddaddy.” In the 1960s, Cosey was a member of the studio band at Chess Records in Chicago, where he played on Waters’ “Electric Mud” and Howlin’ Wolf’s “Howlin’ Wolf Album.” Cosey also worked with Etta James and Chuck Berry. He took a creative approach to stringing and tuning his guitars, and liberally applied the distortion pedal to his licks.

minds, Miles Davis. In an interview with music writer George Cole, published on Cole’s “The Last Miles” website, Cosey said Davis sought him out, wanted him at the front of the band and told him to turn up his guitar’s volume. Cosey ended up playing on many of Davis’ boundary-pushing recordings in the 1970s, including “Dark Magus,” ”Agharta” and “The Complete on the Corner Sessions.” Cosey was also in Martin Scorsese’s 2003 blues documentary, “The Blues: A Musical Journey.” In recent years, health problems had slowed Cosey, but he had been playing music in children’s hospitals and schools, according to the Chicago Tribune. Cosey’s daughter said that, to her father, music was a language. “He taught me that music is not genre-specific. It’s one way that everyone around the world communicates,” she said. “It wasn’t about being black or white, but it was about making notes universally.”

Spain relieved, angry over humiliating bank rescue Country will receive up to $125 billion bailout MADRID (AP) — Spain’s grinding economic misery will get worse this year, despite the country’s request for a European financial lifeline of up to 100 billion ($125 billion) to save its banks, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said Sunday. A day after the country conceded it needed outside help following months of denying it would seek assistance, Rajoy said more Spaniards will lose their jobs in a country where one out of every four are already unemployed. “This year is going to be a bad one,” Rajoy said Sunday in his first comments about the rescue since it was announced the previous evening by his economy minister. The conservative prime minister added that the economy, stuck in its second recession in three years, will still contract the previously predicted 1.7 percent in 2012 even with the help. Spain on Saturday became the fourth and largest of the 17 countries that use Europe’s common currency to request a bailout. This is a big blow to a nation that a few years ago took pride as the continent’s economic superstar only to see it become the hot

spot in the eurozone debt crisis. Its economy is the eurozone’s fourth largest after Germany, France and Italy. Although Spain has not yet said how much money it would seek, the Eurogroup finance ministers of the 17country eurozone, of which Spain is a member said in a statement Saturday that it was prepared to lend up to 100 billion. The funds, which will come from one of three pools of emergency financing eurozone countries can access, will be sent to the Spanish government’s Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring (FROB), which would then use the money to strengthen the country’s teetering banks. Across the country, Spaniards reacted with a mixture of anger and relief to the news. The full amount of the eurogroup’s lifeline amounts to 21,000 of new debt for each person almost equal to the average salary in a country of 47 million where the unemployment rate for those under age 25 is 52 percent. The country is already reeling from deep austerity cuts Rajoy has imposed over the last six months that have raised taxes, made it easier to hire and fire work-

ers, and cut deep into cherished government programs, including education and national health care. “It’s obviously a shame,” said civil servant Luisa Saraguren, 44, as she strolled on a sunny Sunday morning with her young daughter. “But this bailout was fully predictable, and the consequences of this help are going to be a lot bigger compared to the cuts we’ve been living with already.” Rajoy took pains to avoid the word bailout Sunday, saying Spain’s rescue package is a line of credit that its most troubled banks will be able to tap. The assistance will not come with the outside control over government macroeconomic policy like that imposed Greece, Ireland and Portugal when their public finances were bailed out. He said interest rates on the loans will be considerably lower than the rate near 7 percent that Spain has been forced to pay recently on the international debt markets, a level that forced the other countries to seek bailouts. The government will be responsible for collecting repayments from the banks, with interest, and returning the money to

the Eurogroup, although interest rates and loan duration details have not yet been revealed. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Spain’s debt to GDP ratio was more favorable that even Germany’s, with Spain at 78 percent of GDP and Germany’s at 82 percent. “Spain is making the necessary reforms to improve its competitiveness and to limit its fiscal policy to a sustainable deficit. By the way, Spain’s overall debt (ratio) is lower than Germany’s,” Schaeuble said. The bailout also spurred Irish opposition finance spokesman Michael McGrath to criticize his government for not having negotiated better terms, saying it needed “to start fighting Ireland’s corner in a more vigorous and forceful way.” Spain hopes to regain the economic credibility it has lost by shoring up its banks. This should result in credit being restored so businesses and individuals shut off from loans can start borrowing and the economy will grow again, Rajoy insisted, again without saying when. Europe’s widening recession and financial crisis

A man begs for money outside a bank in Madrid, Sunday. have hurt companies and investors around the world. Providing a financial lifeline to Spanish banks is likely to relieve anxiety on the Spanish economy which is five times larger than Greece’s and on markets concerned about the country’s ability to pay its way. Spain’s government will make a formal approach for

aid once independent audits of the country’s banking industry have been carried out. It is not yet clear whether the money will come from the EU’s 440 billion European Financial Stability Facility, the new 500 billion European Stability Mechanism, or a combination of the two.

Official: Egypt’s Mubarak in critical condition CAIRO (AP) — Hosni Mubarak is slipping in and out of consciousness eight days after the ousted Egyptian leader was sent to prison to begin serving a life sentence, a security official said on Sunday. With rumors of the former president’s death spreading rapidly, authorities granted his wife, former first lady Suzanne Mubarak, and the couple’s two daughtersin-law special permission to visit him in Cairo’s Torah prison early that morning. “The former president’s health is in decline, but now it’s stable in its deteriorated state,” the official said. Since his wife’s visit, Mubarak has suffered from an irregular heartbeat and required assistance

in breathing. The official told The Associated Press that the former president now lives only on liquids and yogurt. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Mubarak’s health is reported to have collapsed since his June 2 conviction for failing to stop the killing of protesters during the uprising that overthrew him in 2011. His life sentence saw him transferred immediately to a prison hospital, instead of the military hospital and other facilities where he had been held since his April 2011 arrest. Authorities have turned down several requests by Mubarak’s family to transfer

the ousted president back to a military facility, the official said. On Saturday Mubarak’s wife was denied access to the Intensive Care Unit where he was placed, as authorities limit family visitations to one a month. According to security officials quoted by al-Masry al-Youm daily, Mrs. Mubarak lashed out at wardens for not giving her husband permission to seek treatment outside the prison. “You will be responsible for his death,” she allegedly said. Mubarak’s two sons Alaa and Gamal are also being held. They were acquitted on June 2 of corruption charges, but still face separate charges of insider trading.

On Saturday, Egypt’s state run news agency MENA quoted officials as saying that Mubarak is at risk of stroke, quoting a medical team’s report. Other media reports said that his lawyer Farid al-Deeb informed him that he will soon be transferred back to a military facility in the Cairo suburb of Maadi. In his last public appearance on June 2, the bedridden Mubarak sat stoned-faced in the courtroom cage. However, officials said that he broke into tears when he learnt that he will be transferred to Torah prison. It took officials hours to convince Mubarak to leave the helicopter that ferried him from the courthouse to the prison.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Husband’s doctor should be filled in about problem Dear Annie: Please help me. My husband, whom I love very much, is addicted to pain pills. It's been more than a year. He says he takes them to maintain his energy levels for his long 12-hour days, but, Annie, he still takes the pills on his days off. When he tries to stop, he goes through withdrawal symptoms. Not only am I concerned for his health, but it's putting stress on our budget. He spends at least $100 a week on these pills. I've tried everything I can think of to get him to stop, but nothing works. Rehab is not an option because we don't have the money and insurance won't cover it. I love my husband very much, but this is affecting our marriage, and he's ignoring it. — Distraught Wife Dear Distraught: Your husband isn't trying to wreck his marriage. He is an addict, and addicts do whatever is necessary to support their habit. He will need to gradually taper off the medication until he no longer suffers withdrawal symptoms. We assume your husband has some kind of prescription for these pills that needs to be refilled regularly. Call and alert your husband's doctor (and possibly local pharmacies) that he is abusing the pills. And please contact Families Anonymous (familiesanonymous.org) at 1-800736-9805 and Nar-Anon (naranon.org) at 1-800-477-6291 for assistance and support. Dear Annie: I have two questions concerning proper etiquette. When wedding invitations are sent out, isn't it proper for there to be postage affixed to the reply envelope? Also, I attended a wedding reception in December and didn't receive a thank-you note until June. What is the proper timeframe for sending thank-you notes out after a wedding? — Curious in Florida Dear Curious: Thank-you notes should be written as soon as possible, and preferably within three months. However, many readers would be grateful to receive one altogether, no matter how late. As for stamps, please understand that back in the Stone Age, invitations were hand-delivered without response cards of any kind. Guests were expected to supply their own stationery for replies. However, since few people have personal stationery these days and invitations are rarely hand-delivered, hosts have included response cards, usually stamped, in order to facilitate a timely RSVP from guests who otherwise aren't always courteous enough to reply. Do they have to? No. But it certainly makes it more likely that they will get a response. Dear Annie: This is in response to "I Am So Sad," whose husband is a bully. Please tell her that there is life beyond her horrible marriage. I lived with a bully for 23 years. In order to preserve my sanity, I filed for divorce. I had to walk away from everything: family, friends, church and home. I had been active in my church, but when my ex claimed he "found God," he became buddies with our priest. He told everyone I had lost my mind and convinced friends, family members and even my boss to beg me to take him back. In my tiny apartment with little to my name, I realized for the first time in years that I could breathe without worrying how he would berate me when he walked in the door. No one deserves to be treated like that. It's hard to find the strength to walk out, but I don't know any woman who doesn't feel better off after leaving an emotionally abusive situation. "Sad" will find another church community that will embrace her. She'll realize who her real friends are. She'll still be a good person. I've been divorced for seven years and have since gone to school and earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees. I've made new friends and enjoy my children and grandchildren. I've even dated some interesting men. I wish "Sad" luck and the courage to get through this difficult time. — Free To Be Me Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

How can I make hair spray residue go away? Dear Heloise: I bought a house and have been trying to remove hair spray from the wooden bathroom door. How can I do this without stripping the finish? — Paulina in Omaha, Neb. Paulina, I would love to help! Here are a couple of options for you. First, try a little hair shampoo. A small amount on a damp rag might do the trick. If that doesn’t work, mix some baking soda with an equal amount of white toothpaste. Apply to the door with a damp rag in a circular motion. Make sure to test a hidden area first. Baking soda is always a great product to have handy. Want to know what else you can do

Hints from Heloise Columnist around the house with baking soda? Order my pamphlet Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes. Send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. While working on the door, clean your fiberglass

shower, too. Dissolve 4 tablespoons baking soda in 1 quart water for a sparkling-clean shower. — Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Uses for extra lemons: • Use on hands to remove the odor of onions or fish. • Freeze rinds to zest later. • Place a couple of slices in bath water. • Use a piece of rind to freshen the disposal. • Freeze juice in ice-cube trays for later use. — Heloise TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE Dear Heloise: We are getting ready to move. I had to clean out

the cabinets. I used a reusable mop with a disposable cloth and a long handle inside the upper and lower cabinets — no bending. Also, when I get a new bottle of nail polish or glue, I put petroleum jelly on the outside of the top of the bottle. It makes the lids go on and off easier. — Pat in Ohio RECEIPT READINESS Dear Heloise: I have a great way to save receipts for tax purposes. I have an envelope with each month and year written on it. I put all receipts from a month in the designated envelope. Then when I need a receipt, it is readily available. — Pam in California

HOROSCOPE Monday, June 11, 2012 Up to this point in time, you’re learned a lot from your past experiences, and it’s not very likely that you will be repeating any past mistakes. What awaits you in the coming months is hopeful and exciting. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — A disappointing deadlock will result unless a middle ground can be found in an argument you’re having with your mate or someone close to you. Compromise is a must in this situation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Even if you have to work a lot harder for what you want, know that your dedicated efforts won’t go unrewarded. It’ll all be worth it in the long run. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There’s a chance you could display both brilliance and ineptitude when it comes to your financial or commercial affairs. Exactly which one will be the winner is a toss-up. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Even if you have plenty of justification for being angry concerning a past or upcoming incident, remember that you’re bigger than anything that transpires. Forgive and forget. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Although you’re normally a good judge of people, be careful about putting your faith in the wrong folks. Refrain from discussing things that should be kept confidential. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You’re apt to be pretty good at achieving your objectives, yet you’re not likely to win any popularity contests from some of the tactics you’ll use in the process. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — There are times when we work very hard to get something we think we want, only to discover later that it wasn’t worth the effort. It may be one of those times for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — In order to be a good salesperson, you’ll not only need a good product but an excellent presentation as well. Don’t put your prospects to sleep when hawking your wares. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Keep in mind how annoyed you can get when others disrupt your plans, so that you don’t do the same to co-workers by trying to rearrange events they have on their calendars. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — When it comes to an arrangement where a collective effort is required to carry things off, it might be left up to you to instill the spirit of togetherness in those involved. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Although you think you’re trying very hard to make progress, unless you truly concentrate on doing so, you’ll merely be kidding yourself. Focus, focus, focus. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Be patient regarding techniques for achieving steady progress. If you aren’t, you’ll start to make changes for change’s sake and cause yourself all kinds of trouble.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, June 11, the 163rd day of 2012. There are 203 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On June 11, 1962, three prisoners at Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay staged an escape, leaving the island on a makeshift raft. Frank Morris and brothers Clarence and John Anglin were never found or heard from again. On this date: • In 1770, Captain James Cook, commander of the British ship Endeavour, discovered the Great Barrier Reef off Australia by

running onto it. • In 1919, Sir Barton won the Belmont Stakes, becoming horse racing’s first Triple Crown winner. • In 1937, eight members of the Soviet Red Army High Command accused of disloyalty were put on trial, convicted and immediately executed as part of Josef Stalin’s Great Purge. • In 1963, a Buddhist monk (Thich Quang Duc) set himself afire on a Saigon street to protest the government of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem.

• In 1977, Seattle Slew won the Belmont Stakes, capturing the Triple Crown. • In 1987, Margaret Thatcher became the first British prime minister in 160 years to win a third consecutive term of office as her Conservatives held onto a reduced majority in Parliament. • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Gene Wilder is 79. Actress Adrienne Barbeau is 67. Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana is 56. Actor Hugh Laurie is 53. Actor Peter Dinklage is 43. Actor Shia LaBeouf is 26.

40th anniversary of deadly S.D. flood observed RAPID CITY, S.D. — (AP) — Hundreds of Rapid City residents gathered Saturday night to mark the 40th anniversary of the deadly flood in the city that claimed 238 lives. The Rapid City Journal reports that city officials shared stories of people who died in the June 9, 1972, flood and the ways the flood changed the city. At the end of the lengthy ceremony, the names of all the victims were read. Don Barnett was the 29-year-old mayor of Rapid City when Rapid Creek flooded. Fifteen inches of rain had fallen in the Black Hills over about 6 hours. Water rushed down gullies and canyons, turning Rapid Creek into a wall of water. Barnett recalled watching the water rise and trying to warn Rapid City residents through local radio stations. The stations broadcast a warning for about 30 minutes before they lost power. “At least half of the victims that terrible night never had one word of warning,” Barnett said. More than 1,300 homes and 36 businesses were destroyed. The flood did $164 million in damage to 1,335 homes and more than 5,000 automobiles. Airmen from Ellsworth

Air Force Base, South Dakota National Guard soldiers and airmen, firefighters from the Rapid City Fire Department and police officers from the Rapid City Police Department helped rescue those stranded and recovered bodies after the flood. Officials from each organization shared stories of employees who died during rescue and recovery efforts. Three Rapid City firefighters died June 9, said Rapid City Fire Chief Mike Maltaverne. “When we report for duty, we agree that everyone will work the day and go home safely,” Maltaverne said. “We as a department stand here

tonight before you and wish to pay our respects to those three firefighters who lost their lives.” Col. Mark Weatherington, wing commander at Ellsworth Air Force Base, told the stories of seven airmen who died in flood rescue efforts. More than 3,200 Ellsworth employees volunteered to help with rescue efforts and airmen saved at least 251 people, he said. “Airmen worked tirelessly,” he said. “The accounts of their bravery rival those of any combat mission.” One police reserve officer died in flood rescue efforts. “Can you imagine that hell on Earth that night?” said Rapid City Police

Chief Steve Allender, who was 11 when the flood occurred. “I can’t, but I know several of you out here can.” South Dakota National Guard members were training in the Badlands and Rapid City June 9 and also helped with rescue and recovery. Three Guard

members died. After the flood, Rapid City officials developed several policies to protect residents in case something similar happens again, said Larry Lytle, who was president of the Rapid City Council in 1972 and 1973. “If there is another nat-

ural disaster or flood, God forbid and it’s going to come, it’s just a matter of when you will be awakened if you’re asleep,” he said. “That water should flow through Rapid City unobstructed. Yeah, there might be a building or two lost but there should be no lives lost.”

No denying Logano LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Joey Logano stood on top of the No. 20 high-fiving everyone he could reach in Victory Lane. Beverages were sprayed, fists were pumped and throaty shouts of celebration could be heard well down the 2-mile track. It’s what winning a Sprint Cup race is all about. It’s what Logano has waited years to truly experience. Not rain or Mark Martin would deny him this feeling. Logano gave a crafty Martin a well-timed nudge out of the way

in the closing laps Sunday at Pocono Raceway to clinch his first victory since 2009 and become the first Sprint Cup driver this season to win from the pole. The one-time prodigy and the grizzled veteran pushing hard down the stretch was a duel to remember at Pocono. “I didn’t stop screaming until I got to Victory Lane,” Logano said. “You work so hard to do AP PHOTO this.” Joey Logano crosses the finish line to win the NASCAR Sprint

Thunder gets 1st taste of NBA finals When the Oklahoma City Thunder signed five-time champion Derek Fisher late in the season, they added a veteran guard with oodles more NBA finals experience than the rest of the roster he was joining. Whether Fisher can prepare his Thunder teammates for what they’re about to face is another matter. See Page 18.

Troy Post 43 first baseman D.J. Hemm applies the tag on the pickoff attempt during a game against the Columbus Braves Sunday at the Veterans Appreciation Tournament at Duke Park in Troy.

Fully capable Troy Post 43 has good weekend at Veterans BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Troy Post 43 legion baseball coach Frosty Brown may already have known what his team was capable of going into the Veterans Appreciation Tournament, but after this weekend’s performance, he can rest assured knowing that his team can compete with any opponent in its path. TROY Post 43 swept a pair of games on Saturday, beating Hillsboro Post 129 7-3, then hammering Kalamazoo in a 14-2 run rule in its night cap. But in the semifinal game on Sunday, Post 43 couldn’t overcome a five-run first inning by the Columbus Braves in a 9-3 loss. “We beat some good teams this weekend,” Brown said. “I feel we’re capable of playing with

PARIS (AP) — Whoever is going to make history at the French Open will have to wait at least one more day. The final between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic was called for the day because of rain Sunday with Nadal clinging to a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 1-2 lead. Nadal, going for his record seventh French Open title, and Djokovic, trying to become the first man in 43 years to win four straight major titles, played under a light drizzle for much of the match, which also included a 34-minute interruption in the second set. Not long after they returned after the first delay, the rain started again. Court Philippe-Chatrier kept absorbing more water but the players had to beat the mushy mess of waterlogged clay out of their shoes on virtually every point. As he was preparing to serve down 2-0 in the fourth set, Nadal took one of the saturated tennis balls and tossed it toward the chair umpire. Nadal, who had lost the previous eight games, won his serve. But on the changeover, play was called and the rain kept coming into the evening. It means the French Open won’t end on a Sunday for the first time since 1973, when Ilie Nastase’s victory over Nikki Pilic ended on Tuesday. The forecast for Paris calls for intermittent rain Monday. The stoppage killed a huge momentum shift in the match. Djokovic was down two sets and 2-0 in the third, when he turned things around, hanging in for the long rallies that normally favor his opponent. He started winning those points and Nadal a master of the clay, though maybe not the mud began looking as helpless as Djokovic had over the first two sets, during which he repeatedly gestured up to his guest box, seemingly looking for answers.

Kipnis’ homer lifts Indians past Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — Chris Perez insisted it was no big deal that his 20th consecutive save came against his old team. The body language begged to differ. The Cleveland Indians closer finished off a 4-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday while battling an upset stomach that left him spitting up fluid between pitches. After getting Adron Chambers on a pop-up with a man on first for the final out, Perez went down to one knee. “I drank some warm water and I ran out there and it just didn’t settle well,” Perez said. “What am I going to do, call timeout and run into the

dugout? “If you remember, a couple years ago in spring training it was the same situation. So I need to stay away from warm water.” Cleveland’s Jason Kipnis hit a tiebreaking three-run homer off closer Jason Motte in the ninth after the Cardinals left the bases loaded in the eighth. Vinnie Pestano (3-0) walked three straight batters with one out in the eighth but recovered to strike out No. 3 hitter Yadier Molina and cleanup man Allen Craig. “That’s the game right there,” Kipnis said. “I thought both starting pitchers did a great job

and it just came down to who can execute late.” Carlos Beltran homered for the second straight day to increase his National Leagueleading total to 18, and Joe Kelly allowed one run in five-plus innings in his major league debut for the Cardinals. St. Louis is the only major league team that has not won a series over the Indians, who are 14-6 overall and 8-4 on the road against the Cardinals. “It’s a little bit of everything right now,” Beltran said. “We’ve been battling injuries and things like that, but at the same time we just need to find a way to play better. There’s no excuses.”

The Cardinals have lost eight of 12 and totaled just five runs in the series. They went the last two without cleanup hitter Matt Holliday, who could return from mid-back spasms on Tuesday after the team’s off day Monday. “Guys are grinding. They’re fighting, and I’m going to continue to stay optimistic because that’s what I believe,” manager Mike Matheny said. “It’s not a facade it’s only a matter of time before we take off. “When we take off, it’s going to be a good run.” Michael Brantley extended his hitting streak to 18 games

Bradley scores decision win over Pacquiao LAS VEGAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Timothy Bradley promised to shock, though the biggest shock in his fight with Manny Pacquiao came from the judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scorecards. In a fight Pacquiao seemed to have in hand, two judges decided otherwise, giving Bradley a split decision Saturday night and ending the Filipino fighterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven-year remarkable unbeaten run. Promoter Bob Arum fumed, the crowd at the MGM Grand arena booed, and Pacquiao seemed stunned when the decision was announced. Arum said there would be a November rematch, though he blasted the way the decision went down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight,â&#x20AC;? said Arum, who handles both fighters. Bradley came on strong in the later rounds, winning five of the last six rounds on two scorecards and four on the third. He won 115-113 on two scorecards, while losing on

the third by the same margin. The Associated Press had Pacquiao winning 117111. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did my best,â&#x20AC;? Pacquiao said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess my best wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough.â&#x20AC;? Pacquiao tried to turn the fight into a brawl, using his power to hurt Bradley in the early rounds. But Bradley changed tactics in the middle rounds and used his boxing skills to win enough rounds to take the narrow decision for the welterweight title. It ended a 15-fight winning streak by Pacquiao dating to 2005 that turned him into a boxing superstar and made him a national hero in the Philippines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I won the fight,â&#x20AC;? Bradley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he was as good as everyone says he was. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel his power.â&#x20AC;? Ringside punching statistics showed Pacquiao landing 253 punches to 159 for Bradley, who vowed before the fight to take the 147pound title from Pacquiao.

Bradley was so confident that he had oversized tickets printed up for a Nov. 10 rematch that will now likely happen. Bradley seemed hurt in the fourth and fifth rounds, but Pacquiao had trouble landing big punches after

that. Still, he seemed in control of the fight everywhere but on the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scorecards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can you believe that? Unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? Arum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I tried hard but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat the guy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Bradley said he hurt his ankle in the second round,

and that trainer Joel Diaz said he could either quit or try to take the fight to Pacquiao. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got my second wind in the sixth round,â&#x20AC;? Bradley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked the angles, sticking and moving.â&#x20AC;? Pacquiao said he studied Bradley on tape before the fight and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised by anything he did. He said he thought he was in control of the fight and was shocked when the decision went against him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He never hurt me with his punches, most of them landed on my arms,â&#x20AC;? Pacquiao said. Pacquiao tried to brawl with Bradley and seemed to hurt him in both the fourth and fifth rounds. But Bradley started moving and counter punching, though he never seemed to land any shots that hurt Pacquiao. Pacquiao had vowed to look impressive against Bradley after struggling in his last outing with Juan Manuel Marquez, a fight many thought he lost. And he did early, landing good long

As Heat return, Thunder are new to finals OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When the Oklahoma City Thunder signed five-time champion Derek Fisher late in the season, they added a veteran guard with oodles more NBA finals experience than the rest of the roster he was joining. Whether Fisher can prepare his Thunder teammates for what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to face is another matter. While the Miami Heat are returning to the finals for the second straight season, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be an eye-opening, first-time experience for most of Oklahoma Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youthful players. Only Fisher, starting center Kendrick Perkins and backup Nazr Mohammed have ever made it this far â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all winning titles with other teams. But for all the leadership Fisher has provided since joining the Thunder in late March, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan any lectures for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger set that includes three-time scoring champion Kevin Durant and AllStar point guard Russell Westbrook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With my experience, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found it better to on some level allow guys to experience things for themselves in its natural state,â&#x20AC;? Fisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always tell someone what they should feel or what they should be thinking as they get ready to go into what may be the biggest moment of their life or their career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to allow people to be who they are and experience it the way they naturally would.â&#x20AC;? The finals are sure to disrupt some parts of the Thunderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s routine. Their practices will be uprooted from their brand new training facility on the north side of town and instead held downtown at Chesapeake Energy Arena, where the Heat will also work out. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surrounded by hundreds of additional media members, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for old friends

If they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t called you in the past couple months, then donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take their call now,â&#x20AC;? Fisher warned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Just politely donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond to the text. And then in a couple weeks, once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done, you can reply back that you were busy. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you keep that part under control.â&#x20AC;? Not so easy for some to handle, Fisher said, are the heightened emotions that come with playing for a championship. It could be anxiety, tension or excitement. Some players might not be able to sleep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is on the basketball court everybody

feels comfortable,â&#x20AC;? said coach Scott Brooks, a reserve on Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1994 NBA championship team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody will have nerves, nervous butterflies, before the game. â&#x20AC;Ś Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always nervous before the games until the tipoff. As a coach, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the same way. As a player, I was the same way. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of it.â&#x20AC;? Brooks even considers the nerves to be good, a sign that players care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the tipoff is in the air, our players arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to get nervous,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once that ball is in the air and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to play, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to fly around the court, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be aggressive and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play good basketball.â&#x20AC;? Westbrook said Sunday the fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the finals probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t settle in until heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing in Game 1 on Tuesday night at home.

set with anybody.â&#x20AC;? Logano finished a season-high eighth in the Cup race at Dover last week and now has three top-10s in his last four starts. It could be a sign that things are finally falling into place in his first season with crew chief Jason Ratcliff. Logano has fared much better on the second-tier Nationwide Series. He has 13 career Nationwide wins, four this season, including last week at Dover International Speedway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My hope is to obviously stay with what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got and keep working with Jason,â&#x20AC;? Logano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you never know.â&#x20AC;? Team president J.D. Gibbs and owner Joe Gibbs did not attend the news conference. Logano joined JGR drivers Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch as 2012 Cup winners. Pocono shortened the race by 100 miles this season and got a thrilling finish. Logano led a careerhigh 49 laps to become the youngest winner at Pocono. The 53-year-old Martin, looking for his first win since 2009, took the lead with eight laps left. The 22year-old Logano, though, bumped Martin out of the way and zipped past for the winning move with three laps remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d call that a bumpand-run,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been acceptable in this racing for a long time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how I would have done it. Certainly, had I had a fast enough car, he would have gotten a return.â&#x20AC;? Tony Stewart was third, Jimmie Johnson fourth and Denny Hamlin fifth. At a track known for its tedious 500-mile race, 400 miles was the perfect length to produce a fantastic finish on fresh asphalt. Martin is all too familiar with his runner-up spot at Pocono. He has yet to win in 51 career Cup races at Pocono and has finished second seven times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not owed this stuff, man,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve earned all those second-place finishes and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of that. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not entitled. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go get them.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kind of just going with the flow right now,â&#x20AC;? Westbrook said. Seeking redemption for last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finals loss to Dallas, Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster should be aware of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to come. The lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the team is back from last season, and Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem were both on the 2006 squad that won it all. LeBron James will be making his third finals appearance, including one with Cleveland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long 12 months. But obviously when you lose in the finals, it hurts,â&#x20AC;? Wade said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you have to come into the season, you have to forget it. But you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget in a sense. So you play and you try to get back to this moment again, so you can in a sense redeem yourself or in a sense put yourself in that position again to succeed.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 17 This one felt like the first time for Logano after his only other career win in 125 Sprint Cup starts was a rain-shortened victory at New Hampshire. Wins count the same in the record book. But they sure do feel different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you cross the line and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won the race, to me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing feeling,â&#x20AC;? Logano said. Logano had the top car all weekend, posting the fastest practice time Friday and then taking the pole Saturday. Logano, once a muchhyped phenom when he broke in with Joe Gibbs Racing, was under pressure to produce victories in the final year of his fouryear contract. Loganoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win continues a recent uptick of solid results in the Cup series. He has insisted this season his contract status has not added pressure. But in Victory Lane, he hoped the victory sent a message to his critics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope it shuts them all up,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a whole lot.â&#x20AC;? He shoved aside one of his earliest supporters to take the checkered flag. Martin saw Logano race at 11 years old and raved about his potential as future Cup champion. Back in 2005, Martin said Logano â&#x20AC;&#x153;can be one of the greatest that ever raced in NASCAR.â&#x20AC;? High praise. Higher expectations. Logano signed a developmental with JGR and made his NASCAR national level debut at 18 in the Nationwide Series. He was so full of promise, he was dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sliced Bread.â&#x20AC;? As in, greatest thing since â&#x20AC;Ś Not quite. Logano had the one victory and never finished higher than 16th in the standings in three full Cup seasons. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15th this year and has no deal with JGR for next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been informed where I stand for next year yet, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all up in the air,â&#x20AC;? Logano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, winning a race means a lot and it helps that out a ton. For sure, right now, my futureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not

left hands while beating Bradley to the punch on most exchanges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He hurt me a couple of times with his left,â&#x20AC;? Bradley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beast.â&#x20AC;? Trainer Freddie Roach told Pacquiao after the 10th round that he had control of the fight, and urged him to fight hard the final two rounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have six minutes to go, son,â&#x20AC;? Roach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your fight.â&#x20AC;? But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Pacquiaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fight, with Bradley getting credit for winning some of the close middle and later rounds. After the 11th round Bradley went back to his corner and trainer Joel Diaz told him he needed to win the final round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I listened to my corner,â&#x20AC;? Bradley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to give him a rematch now.â&#x20AC;? Arum said there will be one on Nov. 10, though he thought Pacquiao won easily, as did most writers at ringside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make a lot of money off the rematch, but this was outrageous,â&#x20AC;? Arum said.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Investigators were searching Sunday for a gunman who killed three people including two former Auburn University football players and wounded three others at a pool party near campus after several men got in a fight over a woman, authorities and witnesses said. One of the wounded was shot in the head and critically hurt. Another was a current player, Eric Mack. Desmonte Leonard

opened fire at the Saturday night party at an apartment complex near the university, Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said. Federal marshals and police were searching for Leonard, who faces three counts of capital murder. Slain were Edward Christian, who had not been playing because of a back injury, and Ladarious Phillips, who had previously quit playing football. The other person killed was 20-

year-old Demario Pitts. Officials also said Xavier Moss and John Robertson were wounded. Robertson had been shot in the head and was in critical condition; Moss was released from the hospital. Police emphasized that the shootings didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to have anything to do with some of the victims being former or current players on the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerhouse football team, which won the 2010 national championship.

Johnson wins in Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — For a man who couldn’t swing a golf club for six weeks, Dustin Johnson sure knows how to return to winning form quickly. Johnson won the St. Jude Classic on Sunday in his second event after a back injury cost him nearly three months away from the PGA Tour, shooting a 4under 66 that held off John Merrick by a stroke. “Well, it feels really good, especially having so much time off,” Johnson said. Johnson pulled a muscle in his lower right back in early March lifting a jet ski at his home, and rest was the biggest part of his prescription for healing. He AP PHOTO didn’t return to the tour Dustin Johnson putts on the 16th green during the until last week at the final round of the St. Jude Classic golf tournament Memorial, where he tied for on Sunday in Memphis, Tenn. 19th.

He began the final round two strokes back and held a piece of the lead three different times. He won his sixth career title with consecutive birdies on Nos. 16 and 17 and finished 9under 271. Johnson said he didn’t look at the leaderboard, trying to stay focused on himself. “And you know, I did that,” Johnson said. “I had a lot of looks, lot of good looks and made a few putts coming down the stretch. Made great birdies at 16 and 17.” Johnson, who picked up the check for over $1 million, led by only a stroke going to No. 18. Rory McIlroy, Chad Campbell and Nick O’Hern, three of the four who had a chance to tie Johnson with a birdie, knocked their tee shots into the lake. Johnson said he

thought he might have been tied and made sure he hit the fairway to at least give himself a chance at birdie. Par was good enough. Now Johnson is the first player since Tiger Woods (1996-2000) to win in each of his first five seasons on tour after leaving college, which he said means a lot. His six career wins are the most of any of the tour players in their 20s. “It means I’m playing good golf too,” Johnson said. “I come out every week and I try to just put myself in position to have a chance to win on Sunday.” Johnson isn’t concerned that no one has won on the PGA Tour and then won the U.S. Open the next week. “I wasn’t worried about the Open today,” Johnson said with a smile. “I was

worried about winning the FedEx. Next is a whole different week.” Merrick remains winless in 154 career tour starts. He shot a 69, recovering from a double bogey where he hit twice into water with a pair of birdies, and had a 272 total. “The wheels were coming off the train. Hung in there and made a good putt for double,” Merrick said. “Hung in there, proud of myself.” Davis Love III, the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, shot a 69 and tied for third with O’Hern (69), Campbell (68) and Ryan Palmer (66) at 273. McIlroy, who now heads to San Francisco and The Olympic Club to defend his U.S. Open title, had a 69 and tied three others at 274.

Post 43 ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 anybody. We can put runs up on the board really fast. We have that stuff going for us. “It’s just sometimes our pitching is a little inexperienced, so we have to learn things the hard way. We need to work on staying out of 3-1 and 2-0 counts and getting ahead of the batter. Those are just some basic things pitchers have to do.” Columbus took full advantage of Troy’s inability to throw a strike in the first, loading the bases with one out on two consecutive walks and a hit batter. Post 43 pitcher Michael Pierce walked in the first two runs, before Columbus’s Danny Heskit hit a bases-clearing double to make it 5-0. After Ben Weber singled with one out in the second, Post 43’s Dereck Dunham hit an RBI single to bring him in and make it a 5-1 game. Then in the fourth, Troy staged a twoout rally as Dunham took first after being hit by a pitch. Nick Sanders singled to put runners on the corners and then Bryton Lear delivered a big base hit to plate Troy’s second run. Post 43, however, missed out on a big chance, stranding runners on second and third to end the inning. Nick Antonides opened the bottom of the fifth with a double to the right field gap, then Garrett Mitchell singled to put runners on first and third. Colton Nealeigh hit a grounder to the third baseman — who froze on the play — allowing Antonides to score and Nealeigh to stand on first with an RBI. Post 43 once again closed out the inning by leaving two runners on the basepaths. After the Braves’ Drew Link was hit by a pitch to open the sixth innng, Columbus added three more insurance runs on

Troy Post 43’s Nick Antonides makes contact during a game against the Columbus Braves on Sunday at Duke Park. three straight extra basehits by its two, three and four hitters. To its credit, Post 43 hit the ball hard all game long as everyone in the starting lineup had at least one hit. Leading the charge was Antonides (2 for 4, with a double) and Mitchell (2 for 4). Altogether, the team managed to pound out 12 hits in the contest, compared to eight by Columbus. “There defense kind of whipped us out a couple of times on double plays,” Brown said. “But it really started with our pitching. We were getting behind in the count early. Then they score five in the first, and that’s hard to make up. They scored five runs and they only had two hits. That’s hurtful. “But it’s things we can learn from. We are hoping to keep learning. We’re

doing pretty good job right now. We’re 14-5. We’ve played 20 games in a short amount of time. The kids are a little bit tired but we’ve got some days off coming up here. Now we are going to get ready to get after it another tournament later this week.” Michael Seagraves scattered six hits in six innings of work in the 7-3 win over Hillsboro on Saturday. The Troy Christian product struck out two and walked two. Then in the seventh, Ian Nadolny came on and closed the game out with a one-two-three inning. Mitchell’s two doubles and three RBIs paced Post 43 on offense, while Weber added two hits and two RBIs and Dylan Cascaden went 2 for 3. Nealeigh and Sanders each doubled in the win. In the night game, Troy

scored in each of the first three innings — including a five-run outburst in the third — then poured on five more in the sixth to come away with a 14-2 win. Luke Veldman went the distance on the mound to, striking out seven en route to getting the win. Cascaden went 4 for 5 with four RBIs, a double and a home run. Mitchell, D.J. Hemm, Nealeigh and Nadolny all doubled in the game. Weber and Nealeigh both had triples, as well. Post 43 (14-5) is back in action against the Fairborn Wolverines at home on Tuesday.

Kings confident for Game 6 By The Associated Press There’s no panic in Los Angeles after twice missing out on chances to win the Stanley Cup. At least that was the company line on Sunday, as the Kings discussed Game 6. Many of them, in fact, took an optional skate less than a day after a 2-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils in Game 5, and seemed upbeat afterward. “I think we’re a confident bunch,” Kings center Mike Richards said at the team’s El Segundo, Calif., practice facility. ” We obviously wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have the confidence. It’s just a matter of playing hockey and getting better. It’s the Stanley Cup finals. And if it was easy, everybody would have a Cup. But it’s not easy. It’s

one of the toughest things that you’re going to have to go through.” Saturday’s defeat was Los Angeles’ second in the last four days, after previously losing just two games all postseason. Game 6 is today at Staples Center. “The mood’s good. I mean, you can talk about doubt, because we’ve lost two games in a row, and that’s something this team hasn’t done in a while. But we’ve been playing good hockey,” Los Angeles forward Dustin Brown said. “When you sit down and really start to realize the position we’re in up 3-2 on home ice I think most teams would have taken that at the start of the series.” Especially when you consider the fact that Los

Angeles is a No. 8 seed, and has never won a Stanley Cup in the franchise’s 45-year existence. “Is there pressure,” Brown asked. “Yeah, there’s pressure. It’s the Stanley Cup finals.” Perhaps, after rolling through three rounds, the Kings are finally starting to feel it. With a home crowd waiting for the NHL’s top prize last Wednesday, the Devils stole some of the Kings’ thunder, got back in the series and posted a 3-1 win in Los Angeles. Then, the screws tightened on Saturday, when New Jersey posted a 2-1 victory in Newark, N.J., ending the Kings’ NHL record 10game road postseason win streak. So not only does Los Angeles have to worry

about losing the Cup, it also has the added burden of possibly becoming only the second NHL team to waste a 3-0 lead in the finals. Detroit fell apart in 1942, when it blew a threegame edge and lost to Toronto. To a man, the Kings insist they have played well the past two games. There is truth to that. They have hit four goalposts in the last six periods, and the New Jersey tallies in Game 5 were not gorgeous scoring plays by any means. Devils forward Zach Parise snared a gift powerplay goal when Jonathan Quick mishandled a pass, and New Jersey defenseman Bryce Salvador’s game winner bounced into the net off Kings defenseman Slava Voynov.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — The last will and testament of Joe Paterno was ordered permanently sealed from public view along with all related court filings at the request of a family attorney, a newspaper reported Sunday. Even the judge’s order and the petition by a Paterno attorney requesting the action were sealed, The (Wilkes-Barre) Citizen’s Voice reported. County records indicate

that Paterno’s was the only will sealed in the county in the past 18 months, the paper said. Paterno, who amassed a Division I record 409 victories in more than four decades at Penn State, died from lung cancer in January at age 85, a couple of months after he was ousted by the school’s board of trustees following the explosive child sex abuse allegations against retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

Indians ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 and Ubaldo Jimenez had a season-best seven strikeouts in seven strong innings for Cleveland. The Indians had scored just one run in 19 innings before the ninth, when pinch hitter Johnny Damon hit a leadoff single and Asdrubal Cabrera walked with one out. Kipnis hit his 10th homer on a 2-2 fastball from Motte (3-3). On Saturday, Motte got Kipnis to fly out to right on a pitch that he thought had a slightly better location. “It’s just one of those things,” Motte said. “He got the barrel on it. It happens.” The Indians won despite going 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position and 2 for 18 with men on base. Perez, who once competed with Motte for the St. Louis closer spot, has been flawless since blowing a save on opening day. “I enjoyed pitching out there today, beating my former team, but at the end of the day I was just trying to get the save,” Perez said. “If I go out there too amped up and trying to do too much, I wouldn’t have had a good outing.” Jimenez had his first walk-free game of the season, after coming in with 43 walks in 62 2-3 innings. The right-hander has walked just one in his last two starts covering 13 2-3 innings and faced only three three-ball counts against the Cardinals. The first came in the first inning

against Beltran, who belted a 3-1 pitch an estimated 428 feet to right-center. Jimenez then retired 13 in a row, including five strikeouts in a span of eight at-bats. Kelly, who replaced the injured Jaime Garcia in the rotation, left to a standing ovation after Brantley singled to start the sixth and kept his hit streak alive. “It felt like another start,” said Kelly, who began last season at the Class A level. “I didn’t think I was going to sleep last night and I got great sleep. “I was relaxed. It was good to go.” Brantley is batting .357 (25 for 70) during his hit streak, the longest current run in the majors and two shy of the season’s longest by Adam Jones of Baltimore that ended May 30. Brantley can match his career best, set in 2010, at Cincinnati on Tuesday. NOTES: Cardinals utilityman Matt Carpenter (right side) is on track to begin a rehab assignment in a few days. … Longtime Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan’s family had an impromptu reunion and watched Shelley Duncan start in LF for Cleveland. Shelley Duncan was 2 for 4. … Matheny and former manager Tony La Russa both have charity golf events Monday. … Cabrera singled in the first and has hit in 12 straight. … Pestano has 10 consecutive scoreless outings covering 10 innings.
