Romney talks middle class on tour Says Obama hasn’t given demographic fair shot MILFORD, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney launched a multistate bus tour through small-town America on Friday, charging that President Barack Obama hasn’t given the middle class “a fair shot.”

The tour, unusual for Romney, marked an attempt to upend Obama’s core argument against his challenger: that the

Republican is disconnected from the ordinary folks he aims to lead.

The five-day, six-day excursion by bus — as well as airplane — comes after Romney spent the past few weeks courting wealthy donors and raising millions of dollars to fund his presidential ambitions.

“If there’s ever been a president who has not given a fair shot to the

middle-income Americans of this great nation, it is Barack Obama,” Romney declared from a makeshift podium during an “ice cream social” in Milford’s town square. “I understand what it takes to get people to work again. I will do that to help the American people from the richest to the poorest and everybody in between.”

Obama used the power of the

presidency to overshadow Romney’s big day.

The president announced that the government will stop deporting hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. Romney waited until late afternoon to address the issue although the news had been out since morning. When he did, he

Or ground zero.

More than a decade after 9/11, no one’s quite sure what to call the spot that was once a smoldering graveyard but is now the site of the fast-rising, 1,776-foot skyscraper that will replace the twin towers.

Cameras to be used to learn Hawaiian monk seals need an image makeover.

Some fishermen blame the endangered species for stealing their catch.There are unfounded rumors that they devour and deplete fish stocks. And at least four of them have been killed by humans in Hawaii since late last year.

To help correct the misconceptions, government scientists plan to glue submersible cameras onto the seals’ backs, using the footage to prove to fishermen the animals are not harming their way of life. It may even end up on reality TV..

Little scientists think big Camp Invention provides hands on learning

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

TROY

Combining learning and fun, Camp Invention provided a week of creative hands-on projects in science, engineering, math and technology for incoming first through sixth graders last week.

From June 11-15, more than 100 students and over 25 staffers and volunteers met at Troy Junior High to problem-solve with science-savvy solutions.

In the activity Magnetropolis, campers built a sculpture of magnets representative of an island, and in another activity dubbed “I Can Invent: Balloon Burst,” participants constructed a Rube Goldberg-style

machine in which a balloon is popped via a complex machine. Students also had the opportunity to create an amusement park for ants.

Jean Kremer, camp director for the second year, said the camp offers unmatched educational resources in a fun-filled environment.

“It uses a lot of academics and 21st Century skills — teamwork, creativity, problem-solving,” Kremer said.

“It’s science and technology lessons encased in creativity, education, teamwork and cooperation.”

Kremer said the kids at first needed a little prodding to work in teams rather than individually. But they

The hospital group’s decision calls into question a compromise offered by the president himself only months ago, under which the cost of providing birth control would be covered by insurance companies and not religious employers.

While churches and other places of worship are exempt from the birth control mandate, nonprofits affiliated with a religion, such as hospitals, are not.

In a letter to the federal Health and Human Services department, the hospital group said the compromise initially seemed to be “a good first step” but that examination of the details proved disappointing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama suddenly eased enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws Friday, an extraordinary step offering a chance for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants OBAMA to stay in the country and work.

Embraced by Hispanics, his action touched off an election-year confrontation with many Republicans.

Mitt Romney, Obama’s GOP election foe, criticized the step but did not say he would try to overturn it if elected.

Obama said the change would become effective immediately to “lift the shadow of deportation from these young people.”

“Let’s be clear, this is not amnesty, this is not immunity, this is not a path to citizenship, this is not a permanent fix,” Obama said from the White House Rose Garden.

“This is the right thing to do.”

The administration said the change will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have lived in fear of deportation. It bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals

He would not say whether he would reverse ROMNEY Obama’s decision if elected.

Romney’s response infuriated some New Hampshire conservatives and underscored his delicate standing in the party following a divisive GOP primary, even as he seeks to broaden his appeal.

Under the administration plan, illegal immigrants will be able to avoid deportation if they can prove they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED or served in the military.

They also can apply for a work permit that will be good for two years with no limits on how many times it can be renewed. The move comes in an election year in which the Hispanic vote could be critical in swing states like Colorado, Nevada and Florida. While Obama

Romney also faces challenges in his attempt to appeal to the middle class and people in small-town America. The tour is aimed at a segment of America he has little direct experience with.

The son of a governor, Romney has lived largely in upscale suburban settings and is worth as much as $250 million.

Democrats lashed out at Romney’s message on multiple fronts, including in the skies above his two New Hampshire bus stops.

One small plane towed a banner that said: “Romney’s Every Millionaire Counts Tour,” while

Some Republicans in Congress — and the governor of Arizona, whose state has been at the center of enforcement controversy — strongly criticized the Obama action. But the response from Romney was more muted.

Romney said Obama’s decision will make finding a long-term solution to the nation’s immigration issues more difficult. But he also said the plight of illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children is “an important matter to be considered.”

While some liberal-leaning religious groups see no problem with the birth control rule, Roman Catholic bishops and conservativeleaning groups are treating it as an affront and calling it an attack on religious freedom.

With the Catholic Health Association now voicing concerns, opponents gained a powerful endorsement. There was no immediate reaction from the Obama administration.

Starting next Jan, 1, in most cases, women will have access to birth control at no additional charge through their job-based coverage, as part of a package of preventive services that also includes HIV screening and support for breast-feeding mothers.

Some employers, considered to be “grandfathered” in under the health care law, will not have to provide the coverage.

U.S. declassifies attacks in Yemen and Somalia WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is partially lifting the lid of secrecy on its counterterrorism campaign against al-Qaida in Yemen and Somalia by formally acknowledging for the first time that it is conducting lethal attacks in those countries.

The White House’s semiannual report to Congress on the state of U.S. combat operations abroad, delivered Friday, mentions what has been widely reported for years but never formally acknowledged by the administration: The U.S. military has been taking “direct action” against members of al-Qaida and affiliates in Yemen and Somalia.

The report does not elaborate, but “direct action” is a military term of art that refers to a range of lethal attacks, which in the case of Yemen and Somalia include attacks by armed drones. The report does not mention drones, which are remote-controlled, pilotless aircraft equipped with surveillance cameras and sometimes armed with missiles.

The report applies only to U.S. military operations, including those by special operations forces — not those conducted by the CIA. “In all cases we are focused on those al-Qaida members and affiliates who pose a direct threat to the United States and to our national interests,” Pentagon press secretary George Little said after the report’s release.

“This report contains information about these operations owing to their growing significance in our overall counterterrorism effort.”

The report does not provide details of any military operations in either Yemen or Somalia. It merely acknowledges they have happened.

Killings of terror suspects overseas are acknowledged by the administration, but it does not mention the involvement of drones. The CIA and military have separate drone fleets.

The decision by President Barack Obama to declassify the existence of the counterterror actions in those two countries amounts an incremental move toward greater openness about the use of

The bus tour — Romney planned to fly each night to the next state — is Romney’s first traditional campaign swing aimed at undecided voters in six battleground states — New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa — that Obama won in 2008 and that may decide the presidential election in November.

Speaking earlier Friday at the New Hampshire farm where he launched his campaign a year ago, Romney told supporters they don’t have to “settle for these years of disappointment and decline.”

See God’s incredible world of wonders through crafts, games, Bible truths, songs, and much more. A fun ride through God’s creation!

U.S. force overseas. It does not reflect any change in the intensity or basic character of the U.S. campaign to defeat al-Qaida.

A previous step in the direction of greater official transparency came in April when the White House’s counterterrorism chief, John Brennan, made the first formal confirmation that the U.S. uses armed drones against terrorists.

But he did not mention their use in specific countries.

The new information in Friday’s report comes amid outcries from some in Congress about leaks to the news media about details of classified activities such as the existence of a White House “kill list” of targeted al-Qaida militants.

The accusation, mostly by Republicans, is that the White House has orchestrated the leaks to improve Obama’s re-election chances, an allegation the president has rejected as “offensive” and “wrong.”

Three administration officials who briefed The Associated Press on the decision to declassify the existence of the military’s counterterrorism campaigns in Yemen and Somalia said Obama determined that the time was ripe, in part because the U.S. has built closer relations with the Yemeni government and with governments interested in eliminating extremist elements in Somalia.

Somalia has not had a fully functioning government since 1991.

The officials said the declassification of further details in future reports to Congress would remain under White House review.

AS I SEE IT

Dave Fisher Guest Columnist

No one should be denied voting rights I want to take this opportunity to talk about voter suppression in regards to the claim, by the Republicans, that these new laws will stop voter fraud. Let’s first start by citing the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law. The BCFJ analyzed and found four instances in the state of Ohio of ineligible persons voting or attempting to vote in 2002 and 2004. This was out of 9,078,728 votes cast. This is at a rabid rate of 0.00004 percent. I think I would have a better chance of getting stuck by lightning and winning the lotto, all on Feb. 29.

The Republicans have told this lie so many times that it is now the truth. My Uncle Bill told me once “A good fabricated story will keep them hinged and on the edge of their seats.” I guess this means the movie “The Voting Dead” will be opening on Nov. 6.

In just eight days back in early March 2011, House Republicans rushed (Just eight days to push through a bill that was not needed and school funding has went unaddressed for over 15 years ... NICE. That’s for another day!) through HB 159, a bill that would require voters to show one of five forms of ID to vote in person and it did not allow students to use IDs issued by state colleges. State Rep. Bob Mecklenborg (R), the bill sponsor, said, “The bill is necessary to combat voter fraud and the perception of fraud.” When pressed to produce proof of fraud, old Bob defended his position by saying, “I believe it happens” and “it’s impossible to prove a negative.” I guess it’s that old Fox News ploy, “because some people say” there is fraud, it must be true.

Now let’s talk about our friends in Florida. Thank goodness a federal district judge in Florida placed a preliminary injunction on the new Florida voter registration requirements. Judge Robert Hinkle said the law imposes “a harsh and impractical” metric for voter registration organizations, referring to record-keeping requirements, and a 48-hour deadline to turn in registrations to the state. Let talk about that 48 hour requirement; Jill Cicciarelli, a teacher at New Smyrna Beach High School, could have faced thousands of dollars in fines for helping students register to vote. None of her registrations was improperly filled out nor was denied by the board of elections, but because they was turned in late she could have been fined or convicted as a felon for doing what my government teacher did for me and I’m sure many teachers did for a lot of you!

We now have a voter suppression club headed up by John Kasich, Rick Scott and Scott Walker. The clubs membership includes 22-plus state legislatures and political groups, all claiming that this is done to protect the process from the rabid 0.00004 percent voter fraud. One thing rings true; this club is exclusive to the Crazy Republicans and the Tea Partiers. It’s a real shame that they invoke the protection of the voting process that so many have gave their ultimate sacrificefor. Anybody with any common sense knows this claim of voter fraud is a sham. I believe the most sacred right we have as Americans and the core of democracy is that EVERYONE has the right to vote. Anyone who tries to suppress that right is no better than what the Kremlin did for so many years in the former USSR. Isn’t that right, comrade Kasich?

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Arab News, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on playing hardball with Russia: Moscow and Damascus are using similar political tactics, which boil down to one step forward, three steps back.

Russia’s resolute defense of the Assad regime appeared to have come to an abrupt end, when it backed the UN-Arab League peace mission of Kofi Annan and the subsequent six-point peace plan.

At the time, the then Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev offered Annan any help the former UN secretarygeneral needed and said that his mission might be the last chance to avoid a “prolonged

and bloody civil war.”

China which had been seen clearly distancing itself from Assad, also backed the Annan mission and peace deal to send in UN monitors. It seemed at last that with Russia’s recognition of the enormities that were being committed by Syrian government against its own people, the diplomatic ground beneath Assad’s feet was finally breaking up.

However in its readiness to welcome Moscow’s apparent change of heart, the international community overlooked the fact that for the Russians, under the dominance of Vladimir Putin, their policy in Syria is a pure power play and

is not in the slightest bit driven by human rights concerns.

Maybe the time is coming when the international community should start thinking about playing hardball with Moscow.

If Russia cannot behave as a responsible international citizen, then perhaps it should be warned of sanctions and isolation that could be mounted against it.

Putin cannot press on cynically defending the indefensible without expecting to generate some sort of repercussion from a world that is appalled and revolted by the bloody butchery that continues to take place in Syria.

DOONESBURY

Dave Fisher is Chairman of the Miami County Democratic Party.

Fighting obesity, one sugary beverage at a time At 4:45 a.m. Friday morning, our best friends welcomed their bundle of joy into the world.

Kinley Renae weighs in at just under 9 pounds and 19 inches long.

She is 9 pounds of veggie baby.

There have been three of us now, three vegan women (myself included) that have given birth to a baby over the last few years and all three of them weighed in around 9 pounds.

While everyone was worried whether or not we could actually build a baby with no meat or dairy, the three of us built biggerthan-your-average babies.

And because I work from home now and am surrounded by the dull murmur of the news most mornings, something else crossed my mind when Kinley was born.

Someday, some mayor could decide our decision to be dairy and meat free wasn’t a good one, wasn’t a healthy one. Someday, because of so much government meddling, we might not have a choice how we want to raise our children, vegan, vegetarian or strictly meat-eating alike.

Because over the last few years, a few political figures here and there have decided that despite being adults, we’re not capable of making healthy decisions. And while I certainly can’t argue with them when obesity and heart disease rank as the top killer for

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist adults in America today, I can’t help but question when too much government interference really is, too much.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed a law that restaurants should not be allowed to serve sugary beverages (like colas, lemonade and punch) in containers larger than 16 ounces. And while there won’t be any kind of vote on this issue until September, he’s already got the New York Board of Health on his side.

Don’t get me wrong here. I think the beverage sizes at today’s fast food joints is a little over the top myself.

A medium drink at your local Burger King is a whopping 22 ounces, which seems a bit excessive to me. In fact, if my husband and I ever end up stopping at a fast food restaurant, I usually end up begging the drive-through window for a kiddie-size cup because I

know even the small will probably be 16 ounces.

That scenario right there folks, is an example of me making a decision for myself as an adult.

And if I decided I wanted to get a 42-ounce king size drink as well, then so be it, I am an adult and if I’m capable of doing things like voting, driving a car, purchasing a home, paying for medical insurance, then I also feel like it’s my right to decide what size beverage I put in my body.

Fear not New York City dwellers, even if this law does pass there is no current stipulation on how many 16-ounce beverages you can order.

So if you still need 32 ounces of lemonade to quench your thirst, you’ll simply have to buy two drinks instead of one.

See what I mean?

And really, how can you support taking a stand on soda when there are so many other factors causing the obesity epidemic in America?

For example, I used to be a big soda drinker. The more I started to learn and care about my health, I now limit my intake on sugary drinks and try to down as much water as I can.

But do you know what else I like? Cookies, cupcakes, muffins and lots of other desserts filled with sugar.

And do you know what I don’t like? Running, exercising and

sweating in general.

Now, being the semi-responsible adult I am, I make the decision to eat a cookie or two after dinner, but I also balance that with a diet full of lots of veggies and plantbased proteins, not to mention I wake my butt up at 5:45 in the morning to run or go to spin class.

I don’t do these things because there is some law making me, I do them because one day I woke up and actually cared about my health.

Let’s just say we put a soda ban in place, do we really think that’s going to make anyone less obese?

They’re just going to fill that hole in their stomach with something else.

Until politicians can make it mandatory that Americans exercise 45 minutes a day, limit their intake of not just soda, but fried foods, desserts, too many carbs and artery-clogging, low-grade meat products, I just don’t see how taking away someone’s big ole’ drink is doing anything but imposing on our rights to make a grownup decision.

Just because some adults can’t make the right choice for their bodies, doesn’t mean we need some politician to sweep in and set lunch-room like rules for the ones that do.

OBITUARIES

PASTOR JEFFREY B. “P.J.” HAVERFIELD

Discussion centers around tower names Talks continue around names for buildings NEW YORK (AP) — When President Barack Obama came to New York City this week, his first stop was at that tall building under construction at the corner of West and Vesey streets.

You know, One World Trade Center. Or perhaps you might know it as the Freedom Tower. Or ground zero.

More than a decade after 9/11, no one’s quite sure what to call the spot that was once a smoldering graveyard but is now the site of the fast-rising, 1,776-foot skyscraper that will replace the twin towers.

Sarah Barber, a preschool teacher from Stewartsville, N.J., says that no matter how much construction is done, no matter how many buildings go up, “it will always be ground zero to me.”

“You can’t forget what happened here,” she said on a visit the same day as Obama’s. “It’s still raw because it happened in our lifetime.”

But Julie Menin, chairwoman of the community board representing the neighborhood, says: “The majority of the people in lower Manhattan are calling it the World Trade Center site.”

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who accompanied Obama on Thursday, also says the site should be known as the World Trade Center. In a speech around the 10-year anniversary of the attacks, he said while people would never forget

ground zero, so much progress had been made that it was time to call it something else.

The White House apparently agrees. Official guidance on Obama’s visit referred to the site as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s One World Trade Center.

O b a m a toured the 22nd floor and later signed a beam, painted with the OBAMA words “One World Trade Center,” that will be used in the construction.

The skyscraper, expected to be completed in 2014, initially named was Freedom Tower in 2003 by then-Gov. George Pataki.

To many, the name conveyed resilience, even defiance.

But others found it too provocative and worried that it could make the tower an even more tempting target for terrorists.

The name was abandoned in 2009 in favor of One World Trade Center in what the Port Authority portrayed as an effort to help the agency market the building to commercial tenants.

The agency’s chairman said at the time that “World Trade Center” is “easiest for people to identify with, and frankly, we’ve gotten a very interested and warm reception to it.”

Some people, like firsttime visitor Laurie Roley of Wenatchee, Wash., find themselves a little unsure of how to refer to the site.

“We’ve heard different

things about what to call it, so we’re confused,” she says.

Ground zero originated at the end of World War II as a military term for the detonation site of atomic bombs, then came to be used more broadly to mean a center of activity, according to linguist Ben Zimmer, who has written on the subject.

News organizations began using the term for the destroyed World Trade Center within just hours of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack.

“It served as a very useful label in the same way that ‘9/11’ became a shorthand,” Zimmer says.

But “as the building has risen, using that term ground zero seems inappropriate because it is the site of construction and not destruction,” he says. “If you’re going to work in that building, you wouldn’t say you work at ground zero. That wouldn’t make any sense at all.”

He says ground zero could remain common usage in discussing such things as illnesses suffered by those who cleaned up the site, since “that’s specifically anchored to that time and place, what they experienced.”

Visitor Dana Blood of Pine Prairie, La., still calls the area ground zero out of habit but figures she will refer to it as the World Trade Center site by the time it’s all done.

“It’s not ground zero to me, then,” she says. “The site of the devastation — it’s not that anymore.”

Niagara Falls crowd builds for Wallenda wire walk NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario (AP) — The Wallenda family likes challenges.

Nik Wallenda will have plenty of them Friday night when he attempts what nobody has done before: A high wire walk directly over the precipice at Niagara Falls and 190 feet above the churning torrent below. Though tethered to the wire to prevent falling to nearly certain death, the seventh-generation funambulist will still have to contend with wind, water and an unfamiliar wire when he tries to walk from the U.S. to Canada.

A festive crowd started to gather on both sides of the border Friday afternoon, spreading blankets and setting up folding chairs under picture-perfect blue skies and summer-like temperatures.

“We’re here on a lark. We’re looking for an adventure,” said Carole Halls, who with her husband, Mark Charlebois, pulled their 9- and 11-year-old kids out of school early to stake out space on a grassy slope across from where Wallenda will finish his walk on the Canadian side.

Halls, of Oakville, Ontario, was all in favor of the tether, Wallenda’s one safeguard, designed to keep him out of the water if he falls.

“I think we have enough gore on TV,” she said.

A C-shaped clamp will trail behind him on the walk, designed to allow free passage over the pendulum anchors. If he slips, he’ll dangle by his waist about 8 feet below the wire to wait for rescue.

Conditions were good leading up to the nationally televised stunt scheduled for Friday night. When he leaves terra firma about 10:15 p.m., the temperature should be in the low 60s with winds under 10 mph

from the east, roughly at his back.

ABC, which will televise the walk, insisted on it. Wallenda said he only agreed because he was not willing to lose the chance and needed ABC’s sponsorship to help offset some of the $1.3 million cost of the spectacle.

“I think it’s a crazy idea,” said Maurice Wang, 59, he drove from Toronto to watch the walk from the Canadian shore.

“Someone has to be really committed. You can’t just say, ‘Oh, I want to try it.’ He’s got my respect for that.”

On the U.S. side of the falls, cars lined the road into Goat Island as people jockeyed for good spots to watch Wallenda’s 1,800-foot walk on a 2-inch wire through the mist rising from the falls.

The seventh-generation member of the famed Flying Wallendas has long dreamed of pulling off the feat that had never been attempted. An estimated 125,000 people were expected on the Canadian side and 4,000 on the American side.

For the 33-year-old father of three, the Niagara Falls walk is unlike anything he’s ever done. Because it’s over water, the 2inch wire doesn’t have the usual stabilizer cables to keep it from swinging. Pendulum anchors are designed to keep it from twisting under the elkskin-soled shoes designed by his mother.

The Wallendas trace their roots to 1780 Austria-Hungary, when ancestors traveled as a band of acrobats, aerialists, jugglers, animal trainers and trapeze artists. In 1928, the family gave its inaugural performance at Madison Square Garden and earned a 15-minute standing ovation from an astounded audience, who marveled at them performing without a safety net.

MARY KAY (HONEYMAN) COMBS WEST MILTON — Mary Kay (Honeyman) Combs, 58, of West Milton, passed away Friday, June 15, 2012, at The Hospice of Dayton after a lengthy illness.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Southern Baptists set to elect 1st black president NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) Four months ago, two African-American pastors stood in a hallway of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Nashville headquarters looking at a row of white faces.

The portraits of the 56 convention presidents since the denomination’s 1845 founding are in large picture frames holding several portraits each. The final frame holds empty slots.

“They got a space for Fred, right there,” one of the men said. “Got a space picked out for him.”

“Fred” is the Rev. Fred Luter Jr., the man poised to become the first African American president of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination when convention delegates vote next week in New Orleans.

It’s a big step for a denomination that was formed out of a pre-Civil War split with northern Baptists over slavery and for much of the last century had a reputation for supporting segregation.

In recent years, faced with growing diversity in America and declining membership in its churches, the denomination has made a sincere effort to distance itself from that past. Many Southern Baptists believe the charming and charismatic Luter is the man who can lead them forward.

Luter’s rise through the Southern Baptist ranks has been a slow and steady process, the result of the hard work, leadership and creativity that allowed him to turn a struggling innercity church of 50 members into the largest Southern Baptist church in Louisiana by weekly attendance.

The 55-year-old grew up in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward, the middle of five children raised by a divorced mother who worked as a seamstress “not to make ends meet, but just to make them kind of wave at each other,” he said.

Rev. Fred Luter, pastor of the Franklin Ave. Baptist Church, greets congregation members during Sunday Services at the Church in New Orleans, Sunday, June 3.

The family walked to a local Baptist church every Sunday and Luter’s mother made sure all the children attended.

Luter drifted away from religion after leaving home for college, but at age 21 he found himself making a promise to God that he has kept to this day.

After a near-fatal motorcycle accident landed him in the hospital, “I said, ‘God, if you save my life, I’ll serve you for the rest of my life,’” Luter said.

He survived and soon began preaching on street corners every Saturday with a group of friends from church.

“We had no training,” he said. “We were just really excited about what God was doing in our lives and we wanted to share it with others. We got ridiculed a lot.”

Luter kept it up for nine years before someone suggested he apply to become the pastor at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church.

Formerly a white church, the membership had changed to AfricanAmerican with changing demographics of the neighborhood.

“When I came to

Franklin Avenue it was a bunch of women and kids,” Luter said. “You could count the number of men on one hand.”

So Luter bought a payper-view TV boxing match between Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns and told the women in his church to invite every man they knew.

About 25 men showed up, some of whom didn’t realize they were coming to the pastor’s house, Luter said. Nonetheless, they happily dumped their beer to go in and see the match.

Afterward, Luter invited them to come to church.

“The boxing match was on a Friday night and the following Sunday five of those guys were at church,” Luter said. He recognized them during the service and all the women started applauding. After church, they lavished attention on the men.

“The next Sunday there were more men,” Luter said.

“Once we started the men’s program we found that men draw not only other men, but men draw women. Word started spreading.”

Luter also began an outreach program called

“frangelism,” for “friends, relatives, associates and neighbors.” One week, members asked to bring a friend to church, the next week a relative, and so on.

“We told them, ‘If God has done something in your life, you are obligated to share it.’ We’ve never been on TV or the radio, never put up any billboards. The church grew through word of mouth.”

As the church grew and began leading the state in baptisms, Luter started to draw notice. In 1995, he was invited to preach at the pastor’s conference held in the two days before the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual business meeting.

James Merritt, who would later become SBC president, had never met Luter or heard him preach when he brought him to the conference on a recommendation from a colleague.

Merritt was simply trying to add diversity to the event. He got much more than he had hoped for.

Merritt was on the speaker’s platform facing the audience of 15,000 to 20,000 when Luter began to preach.

HOLYOKE, Mass. — Protesters who have occupied a closed Roman Catholic church in Holyoke for a year say they’re ending their round-the-clock vigil.

The decision by the protesters at Mater Dolorosa came after an order by the Vatican high court, which also agreed to consider an appeal the protesters hope will reopen the church as a worship site.

The group voted to end the vigil last week, but didn’t announce it until this week.

The protesters say they don’t expect the diocese to sell the church, remove sacred objects or take down its steeple during Vatican deliberations.

The diocese cited debt and an unsafe steeple when closing the church.

Parishioners refused to leave after the final Mass last June. They say the steeple needs just minor repairs and parishioners could have resolved the debt.

The newspaper said an Italian scholar, Marina Molin Pradel, discovered the homilies in the Bavarian State Library in April while reading an 11th Century Byzantine code.

She noticed that some homilies were similar to a Latin translation of Origen’s work. After further study, the newspaper said, she concluded the originals were his.

TROY TV-5

It’s time to master the art of smiling and nodding

Today: 5 p.m.: Steel Dreams 6 p.m.: Sport Pilot TV 8 p.m.: Spotlight

Dear Annie: I have enjoyed a wonderful friendship with "Sharon" for the past eight years.

However, lately she talks nonstop and interrupts me so often during conversations that the only way to enjoy our interaction is through email or by exchanging voicemails.

Sharon has always been a high-detail storyteller, going off on frequent tangents and being very involved in the narration.

But in the past few months, her inability to stop talking is problematic. I can't get her attention unless I actually yell, "Hey, Sharon! Stop!" And on the rare occasion when she asks about my personal life, she will interrupt me with another question before I've started answering the first one. In fact, she sometimes answers the questions for me.

She'll ask how my day was and then proceed to tell me. It's bizarre. Just recounting these conversations makes my chest tighten with frustration.

I have tried talking over her, but she can outdo me in that arena. I have also become very still the minute she interrupts me, and frankly, she seems completely oblivious. I would say something to Sharon about this, but she is very sensitive, and I'd end up hurting her feelings deeply. Also, I have other friends I can lean on if I have a serious issue, so I don't really need Sharon for this purpose. But her behavior is so annoying that I see no solution other than limiting our friendship, which is unfortunate because she is otherwise a bright, funny, enjoyable person to be with.

Sharon recently asked me out for coffee, and I am avoiding sending a response. Any words of wisdom? — Speechless in Omaha Dear Omaha: You seem to have a good grasp of the problem: You don't think telling Sharon about your unhappiness will garner positive results, but you still wish to maintain the friendship. Remaining silent while she prattles on won't frustrate you so much if you recognize upfront that this is going to be the dynamic. Master the art of the benign smile. You are not there to converse. You are there to listen to Sharon's amusing stories, which you apparently enjoy.

Dear Annie: I am a 24-yearold college graduate and have found a job that I love. I am not yet confident enough in my finances to rent an apartment, so I'm living with my parents while saving money and building credit.

The problem is, my father is stressing me out. He constantly yells at me, eavesdrops on personal conversations with my mother and expresses his dissatisfaction with my life. He thinks I should be making more money, but I love my job and am certain my hours will improve when the economy rebounds. I don't want to ruin my savings by moving out and paying all that rent, but Dad's constant criticism is depressing. What should I do? — New Adult Dear Adult: It's time to move out. Your independence and peace of mind are worth a little rent, maybe with multiple roommates. You also can talk calmly with your father and explain how his constant negativity affects you. We think one reason he eavesdrops on your conversations with Mom is because he feels left out. His criticism is the only way he knows how to stay involved in your life.

Dear Annie: I have a response to "Hurt by Gossip," whose in-laws can't keep a secret and repeat everything she tells them to everybody.

The next time "Hurt" is tempted to share something with the in-laws, she should ask herself, "Is this something I would be comfortable posting on Facebook?" If the answer is no, she shouldn't tell the in-laws, either. — Mrs. Beans Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

It’s time to honor our dads for being good fathers Dear Readers: Father’s Day is tomorrow, and it’s time to thank our fathers for being good dads.

Below are a few of our readers’ classic helpful hints for dad. What are your favorite hints to honor your father?

• Corrinne in Texas calls her father every night. He lives in Seattle, and he loves hearing from her daily. She keeps a notebook with her throughout the day to jot down things she doesn’t want to forget to tell him.

• Laura’s daughters make their dad a unique breakfast in bed on Father’s Day. Laura only assists, so what the girls come up with can be quite,

Hints from Heloise Columnist well, interesting!

• Colleen in New York carries on a legacy that was her father’s last wish. He wanted a donation of canned goods made in his name to folks who are in need. The food bank always is grateful for this gesture.

Just a few suggestions to help you make his day bright.

For a change, why not ask Dad

what HE would REALLY like to do? You may just be surprised at what he says, like something as simple as a movie or a visit to a sportinggoods store. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Sharon in San Antonio sent a picture of her 10-year-old tricolor beagle, Bailey Bopper, taking a snooze on his favorite blanket. Sharon rescued Bailey from the shelter, where he was scheduled to be euthanized.

To see Bailey and our other Pet Pals, visit www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: Last week, I

went to the ATM and withdrew $120 from my savings account.

Then, after tucking my purse under my front seat, I headed into my favorite megaretailer with the cash in hand and picked up many muchneeded items.

I told the cashier that I had only the $120, so I needed a subtotal along the way as she was ringing up my order.

Wouldn’t you know that my purchases, including sales tax, totaled exactly $120! What are the odds?

The cashier suggested that I buy a lottery ticket, but I had no money left over!

HOROSCOPE Saturday, June 16, 2012 Most expectations you have for the year ahead are likely to be based upon practical foundations and, as such, will have good chances for success. The key to prosperity, however, is patience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you have a serious issue that you want to talk over with another, seek out a quiet corner or someplace totally free from outside interference. Privacy can help resolve everything.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Do whatever you can to strengthen a relationship with somebody who has much influence in important circles.

Such a contact could be of great importance to you over the next few days.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — This is a particularly good day to plan your goals and objectives for the week ahead. Having clearly defined targets will give you a much easier row to hoe.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Try your best to keep all matters that directly affect you in proper perspective.

When you approach situations philosophically as well as pragmatically, the results will be to your liking.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Your chances for turning a profit are likely to be much greater when you engage yourself in joint endeavors rather than going it alone. But you knew that — having a partner is your strength.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t cut your mate short today if he or she has some suggestions to offer regarding a critical matter of mutual interest. His or her comments could be right on the money.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — This is a perfect day for you to attempt certain tasks or jobs that require deep concentration and a lot of perseverance. You’ll hold much personal pride in being able to complete them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your organizational and managerial skills will be seeking expression.

Whatever it is that you take charge of, you’ll do so in a manner that will garner support instead of resentment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be both hopeful and expectant regarding the outcome of events. A good mood will be the key factor in helping you say all the right things to all the right people.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Be more of a listener than a talker. This will encourage others to say what is on their minds, and you may learn some valuable information.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Situations that could affect your material well-being are likely to make some kind of significant adjustment that you’re going to like. Be watchful and ready to capitalize on what occurs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your probabilities for success look good, provided endeavors in which you’re engaged are traditional and pragmatic. Avoid situations that call for taking a chance or require experimentation.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, June 16, the 168th day of 2012. There are 198 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 16, 1812, the City Bank of New York (later Citibank) opened for business.

On this date: • In 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned in Lochleven Castle in Scotland. (She escaped almost a year later but ended up imprisoned again.)

• In 1858, accepting the Illinois Republican Party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate, Abraham Lincoln

said the slavery issue had to be resolved, declaring, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

• In 1903, Ford Motor Co. was incorporated.

• In 1941, National Airport (now Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport) opened for business with a ceremony attended by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

• In 1952, “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl” was published in the United States for the first time by Doubleday & Co. • In 1963, the world’s first female space traveler, Valentina

Tereshkova, was launched into orbit by the Soviet Union aboard Vostok 6.

• One year ago: U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., announced his resignation from Congress, bowing to the furor caused by his sexually charged online dalliances with a former porn actress and other women.

• Today’s Birthdays: Actress Joan Van Ark is 69. Boxing Hall of Famer Roberto Duran is 61. Pop singer Gino Vannelli is 60. Actor Eddie Cibrian is 39. Singer Diana DeGarmo (“American Idol”) is 25.

Scientists to strap cameras to Hawaiian seals to learn more HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaiian monk seals need an image makeover.

Some fishermen blame the endangered species for stealing their catch. There are unfounded rumors that they devour and deplete fish stocks. And at least four of them have been killed by humans in Hawaii since late last year.

To help correct the misconceptions, government scientists plan to glue submersible cameras onto the seals’ backs, using the footage to prove to fishermen the animals are not harming their way of life. It may even end up on reality TV. “It’s following seals to have them tell their own story,” Charles Littnan, lead scientist for the National Marine Fisheries Service’s Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program.

They expect to see the seals

dive for eels and fish on the ocean floor.

The “Crittercams,” provided by the National Geographic Society, are the latest tactic to protect a population that is down to just 1,100 in Pacific Ocean waters around Hawaii. The killings were painful blows to a species on course to disappear in 50 to 100 years.

The deaths have come as resentment simmers while the species experiences a modest rebound around Kauai, Oahu and other islands where Hawaii’s humans live.

Archaeological evidence — like monk seal bones in a human trash pit dating between the 15th and 18th centuries — shows the seals were around on these islands long ago. But most were hunted for their meat and fur by the early 1900s.

The seals were then

generally only found among tiny, remote atolls northwest of Hawaii’s main islands.

Their numbers started increasing about a decade ago around the main islands. Now, they regularly haul up on the sands of Poipu on Kauai and the rocky shorelines of Kaena Point in northwest Oahu.

They’ve even appeared amid throngs of sunbathing tourists in Waikiki.

Though the species is ancient and has inhabited Hawaii for millions of years, their growth is making them look like new arrivals to humans who haven’t seen them in their midst for more than a century.

Starting this August, biologists will capture several seals, sedate them and use epoxy to attach the cameras to their hides.

Littnan hopes the footage will prove several assumptions untrue.

Some people think, for example, that seals operate like swarms of locusts — tough to do when there are only 200 of them in the main Hawaiian Islands.

Others believe the seals eat 600 pounds of fish a day —

not plausible, since an adult weighs between 375 and 500 pounds.

“That’s not even remotely physically possible,” Littnan said.

The researchers are inviting fishermen and budding scientists at Hawaii high schools to join the research teams and

watch the footage as it comes in. Students can submit essays by next month to win a spot on the research team. If the video proves compelling, the seals might see some TV spotlight.

Crittercams have changed perceptions before.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The grizzly bear sank its teeth into Ben Radakovich’s back, at one point lifting him from the ground and shaking him hard as it mauled him on an Alaska trail.

The 30-year-old man recalled that as the enraged bear with a young cub pounced, he had no time to fear death: just a split second to yell and step back.

“I didn’t really think anything,” he said after Sunday’s attack during a solo hike along the Penguin Creek Trail south of Anchorage. “I was just reacting instinctively.”

It was only later that Radakovich contemplated all the what-ifs. What if the grizzly had bitten him a little harder on the neck or gotten an artery or his spinal cord? What if Radakovich wasn’t wearing a backpack that held the hard hiking helmet the bear dug into first?

As it turned out, he was rescued after he scrambled 30 feet up a tree.

He was left with wounds in his lower back and a lacerated neck, requiring multiple stitches to close up. He feels stiff, bruised and sore.

“I’m just thankful that it didn’t turn out worse,” he said Thursday by telephone from his home in suburban Anchorage. “If that bear wanted to kill me, it easily could

have.”

Radakovich moved with his family from Moscow, Idaho, to Alaska, where he and his wife, Tami, work as public school psychologists in Anchorage. They love the outdoors and like to go camping and hiking with their three children.

Radakovich was eyeing the Penguin Creek Trail because he wanted hike up some peaks.

He was an hour into the hike where the trail is narrow and winding, closed in by thick foliage. Bears were uppermost in his mind, so he kept calling out “hey bear” and “out of my way bear” to warn any of his presence.

But the mother grizzly was just around a bend in the trail, poised to attack.

Radakovich dropped one of his hiking poles and reached for his bear-repellent spray on his belt. The bear jumped on him, knocking the spray out of his hand and going for his backpack.

Radakovich curled up in the fetal position. The bear lifted him with its teeth and shook him. He clearly remembers also being bitten in the neck. He doesn’t know what happened for several seconds, and wonders if he passed out.

“I just remember sitting and realizing the bear was gone,” he said.

IndyCar In China Canceled The IndyCar race in China on Aug. 19 was officially canceled Wednesday and series CEO Randy Bernard must now find another event for the second half of the season.

Bernard had been working with promoters in Qingdao the last several months to salvage the race, which was announced in November to run at the same time as the city’s International Beer Festival. The inaugural race would have been held on a temporary 3.87-mile street circuit in the city that hosted the Olympic sailing competition four years ago.

Despite an existing contract, new leadership in local government balked at the IndyCar race.

Discussions began with IndyCar about moving the event to a new date or new location.

When faced with a deadline, Bernard said event promoters canceled the race.

Strong rookie season

By The Associated Press

Door Open In Michigan The president of Michigan International Speedway is interested in bringing open-wheel racing to the track, and IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard says he’d like to start a dialogue with MIS after the series canceled a race in China later this season.

The race in China on Aug. 19 was officially scrapped this week, leaving Bernard looking for another event for the second half of the season. MIS President Roger Curtis said he’s always interested in bringing an open-wheel race to his track, but the business model has to make sense.

Michigan International Speedway Track details: Oval

NASCAR Series driver Carl Edwards enters his car the garage before a practice session Friday for Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400 race at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich.

Repeating is tough Run at 2nd Cup title harder than Edwards expected LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Carl Edwards had just about everything go right last season in the chase for his first Cup championship — except win more races than Tony Stewart.

Edwards is finding a repeat run toward a historic finale a bit trickier this season. Forget racing for the championship in the last race of the season. Edwards finds himself parked outside of the 10 automatic spots for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

It’s not a quite a runner-up hangover. Edwards is having a solid season with eight top-10 finishes in 14 races that have him in 11th place entering Sunday’s race at Michigan.

Edwards has just run into a series of bad breaks that has the No. 99 needing a series of strong runs to crack the field.

He was whacked with an early pass-through penalty for not falling to the rear of the field on an early restart last week at Pocono Raceway.

He crashed because of a cut tire a week earlier at Dover. He ran out of gas in the final lap at Phoenix. He was caught up in wrecks at Talladega and Bristol.

“It’s like my brother was telling me, he said, ‘It’s just luck,’” Edwards said. “‘Last year, your luck was awesome. This year, it’s terrible.’

Hopefully, we can kind of use all that bad luck and still make the Chase and turn it around because I know

we can do it.”

Bad luck has played a factor. But Edwards does have to start running better and fall more in line with his Roush Fenway Racing teammates.

Matt Kenseth leads the points standings and Greg Biffle is having a fantastic season and is third.

Behind Martin Truex Jr., Stewart, Clint Bowyer and Brad Keselowski is Edwards. With no victories yet this season, Edwards wouldn’t even earn one of the two wild-card Chase entries. Those spots belong to Kyle Busch and Ryan Newman for now.

Running out of contention for the top spot is a strange feeling for Edwards after he led the points race most of last season. He grabbed the points lead early in the 10-race Chase and held it going into the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The two finished tied in the final Sprint Cup Series points standings — a first in NASCAR history — and Stewart took the tiebreaker based on his five victories to Edwards’ one.

His championship would have been hailed by NASCAR all the way to Booches Billiard Hall in his hometown of Columbia, Mo. Edwards handled the defeat with class and dignity and said all the right things. There were no public tantrums or head-hanging. But inside the shop, there had to be a natural feeling of crushing disappoint-

ment that the team came so close to the championship only to come away empty.

Edwards said those feelings were punted aside by the time the team regrouped for Daytona.

“I’ll be honest with you guys, if I felt there was a hangover from last year or we were down-and-out because we didn’t win, I’d tell you guys that we have to get our game faces on,” Edwards said. “But we really are, I think, doing a good job and I don’t feel like anyone over there is ashamed of what we did last year or anything like that. It’s just plain bad luck.”

After Pocono, team owner Jack Roush said Edwards, “arguably had the best of our three team cars.”

Not that it mattered in the final result.

Yet, bad luck or not, Edwards remains in the thick of contention for a Chase spot. He’s heading to the right track to get a needed jolt.

Edwards has two career wins, nine top-fives and 12 top-10s in 15 career starts at Michigan an average finish of 8.2. Edwards made his Cup debut at Michigan in 2004.

Edwards knows he can’t dwell on the mistakes and near-misses from this season. With only three points to make up and 12 races left until the Chase field is set, there is plenty of time for Edwards to make his big move into the top 10.

Simon Pagenaud came just 14 seconds short of winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans last year, and still walked away from returning to the most prestigious sports car race in the world.

Why? Pagenaud wanted something bigger and better.

“After Champ Car folded, I really wanted to be part of IndyCar, it was my dream.

But I had no options,” Pagenaud said. “I love the level of competition in IndyCar, how tight the field is, the mix of the series in road courses, street circuits, ovals. The diversity makes you one of the most complete drivers in the world, and I knew I couldn’t be an IndyCar driver when I was 32. So it was time to make my decision.”

The 28-year-old Frenchman is in his first IndyCar season, agreeing in December to join Sam Schmidt Motorsports. At the time, a return to sports cars was still on the table.

“The goal was to do IndyCar plus Le Mans,” he said. “The main problem was going to be IndyCar, because that was what I always wanted to do.

Peugeot at the time proposed me a full-time contract for the world championship, and at the time I had to make my decision between Sam Schmidt and Peugeot with the full championship, quite a bit more money as well, and a lot of security because in sports car when you are set, you are set.

“But I had other dreams, my dream is IndyCar.” It’s worked out for the best for Pagenaud. As Le Mans goes on without him this weekend, Peugeot has shuttered its motorsports program and Pagenaud is having a strong rookie season in IndyCar. He goes to Saturday’s race at Milwaukee ranked fifth in the series standings, only nine points out of third.

Through seven races, Pagenaud has two podium finishes and advanced to the Fast Six round of qualifying in four of five races.

He’s done it with a small, single-car team that in theory shouldn’t be able to compete with powerhouses Penske Racing, Chip Ganassi Racing and Andretti Autosport.

Earnhardt Jr. in Michigan, site of his most recent win BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Eleven top-10 finishes.

Second place in the Sprint Cup standings.

That’s an impressive start to the season for any driver, but for Dale Earnhardt Jr., it only makes the question more persistent.

When will he finally win again?

“I feel like we’re getting real close,” Earnhardt said.

“We’ve been really competing well and been competitive every week, at every track, and that feels really

good to say.”

Earnhardt is back at Michigan International Speedway for this weekend’s 400-mile race four years after he won at this same track. He’s without a victory in 143 Cup races since, and all the steady consistency in the world isn’t going to take the attention off that ugly streak.

Last weekend at Pocono, Earnhardt led 36 laps in his No. 88 Chevrolet and had it positioned as the car to beat until crew chief Steve Letarte made a call for a

late stop for gas instead of trying to stretch the fuel to the end. Earnhardt finished eighth. He supported the call and said he’d take a top-10 finish any time over running out of gas.

“I knew that we weren’t doing the popular thing by pitting and taking the fuel,” Earnhardt said.

Earnhardt says he’s fine with the questions about his winless drought because at least people still care and are paying attention to him.

“It hasn’t been that

incessant,” he said. “If you weren’t asking that kind of question I would be a little worried.”

Other drivers are certainly aware of Earnhardt’s dry spell.

“I feel if you go four months, it’s tough enough,” Jeff Gordon said. “I think it all depends on the expectations. If you won a lot of races and then you go into a slump like that, it weighs more heavy on you because you came to not just expect it but you feel like you’re capable and your team is

capable of winning on a more regular basis.”

Greg Biffle can relate, sort of. He ended a 49-race winless streak in April with a victory in Texas.

“It wears on you,” Biffle said. “The other thing that is actually worse for (Earnhardt) right now is that he is running so good, that it seems like when you run as good as he is running, the pressure is even greater because you know a win is just around the corner, if that makes any sense.”

Course offering pressure-free family atmosphere for golf newbies

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com For many not familiar with the game, a golf course can be an intimidating thing.

The long, too-thin-for-theirown-good fairways. The too-big sandtraps and water hazards.

Greens harder to hit than a 90mile-per-hour fastball and harder to read than a foreign lan-

TROY guage.

And all those people that are out on the course every day, the ones that have spent a lifetime learning to conquer golf’s unique trials and tribulations, impatiently waiting for their turn.

The entry level to the sport can be pretty high.

Miami Shores Golf Course is looking to help with that.

Sunday nights at 6 p.m. throughout the summer, Miami Shores will offer a Family Fun Night — an inexpensive ninehole round of golf meant to give people that haven’t had the chance, or perhaps have been to afraid to take a chance, to play on a legitimate golf course.

“Every Sunday for the rest of the summer, until August, we’re giving adults, children — anyone who would like to learn to play

the game on a real course — the opportunity,” said Ken Green, Miami Shores’ PGA Golf Pro. “We’re trying to promote the ‘family’ and ‘fun’ parts of the game.

“It’s an easy way to try the game out in a relaxed, family atmosphere with none of the pressure usually associated with playing on a golf course.”

Day with an Olympian Getting back on the right track Troy Post 43 kicks off Hillsboro tourney with win Staff Reports After a week of relative inactivity — and a shelling in its last outing — Troy Post 43 began the weekend in Hillsboro the right way.

With an run-rule victory in five innings.

Alex Smith pitched a one-hit gem, and the Post 43 bats came alive, putting up at least one run in every inning and finishing off the game early with four in the fifth to close out an 11-0 rout of Chillicothe Post 62 Friday to kick off the Hillsboro Wooden Bat Tournament.

Garrett Mitchell had an RBI double in a two-run first inning, and Troy — which improved to 15-6-1 on the season — just never stopped scoring.

Rachael Flatt — a former U.S. National champion, World Junior champion and 2010 Olympic qualifier — conducts a seminar as members of the South Dayton and Troy Skating Clubs look on Friday at Hobart Arena. Flatt came to teach the seminar as a result of a letter sent by 13-year-old Julia Lukacs, a member of the South Dayton Skating Club. She will also be performing with a host of other prominent figure skating stars tonight at Nationwide Arena in Columbus as a part of the Skate For Hope fundraiser, the organization’s ninth anniversary show.

HILLSBORO Nick Antonides was 3 for 4 with a double, Mitchell and Dereck Dunham also doubled and D.J. Hemm was 2 for 2.

Smith made good use of the support, only giving up one hit in the shutout and fanning eight.

“We hit the ball very well today,” Troy Post 43 coach Frosty Brown said. “This was a very good ballgame for us.”

It was a good way to bounce back, too. Tuesday night, Post 43 was hammered by the Fairborn Wolverines 14-2.

Post 43 played the Toledo Hawks later Friday night in a game that was not complete at time of press. The team has a pair of games today beginning at 9 a.m.

The Troy Bombers swept their first two games of the tournament, winning 1-0 over Washington Courthouse — a game in which Ryan Lavy threw a five-hit shutout — and beating Westerville South 7-6 in 10 innings.

Reds keep rolling Arroyo gets back to winning, 7-3 NEW YORK (AP) — Jay Bruce hit an inside-the-park homer that left Jason Bay with yet another injury and the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets 7-3 on Friday night to give Bronson Arroyo his first victory in 5 weeks.

Brandon Phillips added a two-run shot to extend his recent hitting tear and the NL Central leaders followed up a three-game sweep of intrastate rival Cleveland by winning the series opener at Citi Field, a nice present for manager Dusty Baker on his 63rd birthday.

Arroyo, who was 0-3 in six

starts since beating Milwaukee on May 7, found his form against one of his favorite opponents.

The right-hander entered 7-2 with a 2.81 ERA and three complete games in his previous 12 starts against the Mets with five other outings that lasted eight innings.

This time, Arroyo (3-4) was pulled in the seventh after giving up Kirk Nieuwenhuis’ third homer in two games and a tworun drive by Scott Hairston.

Living up to the massive hype James, Durant delivering NBA Finals to remember OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kevin Durant had the ball in his hands and LeBron James in his face.

With 10 seconds left in Game 2, the NBA Finals were providing all the theater anyone could ask. Two superstars going head-tohead, the Miami Heat trying to hold off another stirring rally by the Oklahoma City Thunder, television ratings reaching levels last seen when Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal played together.

James forced Durant to miss that tying attempt — perhaps getting away with a foul — and the Heat held on for a 100-96 victory on Thursday night that evened the series at one game apiece. And as it shifts to Miami for the next three games, the only thing that seems certain is a tense series that looks to be lengthy.

Game 3 is Sunday night and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra thinks it will look similar to the first two.

“This is going to be probably like this every single game, and that’s the beauty of competition at this level, and embracing that competition and seeing what it

brings out of you collectively,” Spoelstra said.

It’s brought out the best of league MVP James and Durant, the NBA scoring champion. The series hype was built around them and they spent the first two games living up to every ounce of it.

James has bounced back from his disappointing 2011 finals by scoring 30 and then 32 points, and even that was only good enough for a split because Durant has been just as good. He followed up his 36-point performance in Game 1 by scoring 32 on Thursday, 16 in the fourth quarter after he scored 17 in the final period of the opener. Yet that was wasted because the Thunder had fallen into a 17-point hole in the first half.

The Thunder also spotted Miami a 13-point lead in the first half of Game 1 and have fallen into double-digit holes in three straight games. Coach Scott Brooks said after Game 2 he wasn’t considering a new starting lineup, even though the Thunder have been more effective with a smaller group on the floor.

Instead, he said the only change the Thunder needed

“We didn’t come out with the toughness that we need to come out with. We’re an aggressive team, we’re a physical team,” he said.

“Defensive mindset was not where it needs to be, and

hopefully we change that going into Game 3.”

The slow starts at home could mean trouble for the Thunder in Miami, where they won’t have their raucous crowd to help rattle the Heat. But Oklahoma City has been good on the road in

the postseason, winning twice in Dallas in the first round, taking a game in Los Angeles in the second round and pulling out a Game 5 victory in San Antonio in the Western Conference finals.

“These are the two best teams. They’re confident no

matter what building they’re in,” James said.

“We’re happy now that it’s a 1-1 series and we’re going back to Miami and will take control of the home court. It doesn’t mean that the series has changed. Both teams can win on each other’s floor and both teams are confident.”

Ratings through two games are up 11 percent from last year, when it seemed interest in the Heat couldn’t get higher, and Thursday drew the highest rating for a Game 2 since 2004, when the Lakers lost to Detroit in their last title run with O’Neal and Bryant.

The latest game provided a look at the best of what both teams have: James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all making big plays in the fourth quarter; Sixth Man of the Year James Harden coming off the Thunder bench to keep them in it while Durant sat with foul trouble; Russell Westbrook turning from sloppy to sensational as the game went along.

So what’s next?

“It’s a long series,” Miami forward Shane Battier said.

“We know every game is its own beast. You just have to play disciplined and tough to win a single game in the finals.”

Victims elsewhere riveted by trial NEW YORK (AP) — While many Americans are riveted by the Penn State sex abuse trial, it has been particularly wrenching — and sometimes heartening — for those who were themselves victims of abuse in their youth.

Unlike the witnesses testifying against Jerry Sandusky, most of them never got the chance to confront their abusers in court, so the trial has been cathartic as well as troubling.

“It’s vicarious justice — the closest many survivors will ever get to a courtroom where the perpetrator is held accountable,” said Claudia Vercellotti of Toledo, Ohio, who says she was molested for years in her adolescence by a Roman Catholic youth minister.

Vercellotti, a 42-year-old hospital employee, has immersed herself in news reports of the trial, mesmerized by the past week’s often-graphic testimony from eight young men who said Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, had abused them.

“It takes raw courage to get up there and face their abuser,” she said. “They are liberating other victims of sex crimes who have not been able to speak up. There are people across this country saying, ‘Me, too. Me, too.’”

Vercellotti and others who were interviewed clearly believe Sandusky is guilty.

But to them, the testimony in a Bellefonte, Pa., courtroom is not just about allegations that one man assaulted boys over a 15year span; it also shines a spotlight on all abuse, including their own. And painful as it is, some say this can only be a good thing.

“Once you accept the notion that child sex abuse is stunningly widespread, then every instance in which it emerges into the public consciousness is essentially good — painful but good,” said David Clohessy, the Saint Louis-based executive director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. “Kids are safer, and victims move further toward recovery.”

Clohessy, who says he was abused by a priest while in his teens, expressed admiration for the witnesses testifying against Sandusky and standing up to crossexamination.

“It’s one thing to deal with horrific pain privately … and perhaps toughest of

all to deal with it in a public, adversarial setting,” he said.

“They’ve moved from a therapist’s couch to what’s essentially a battleground.”

Among the vast number of sex abuse cases, the Sandusky trial is relatively unusual in providing a direct courtroom confrontation between alleged victims and their alleged abuser.

Victims often wait many years, even decades, before speaking out, and often no trial takes place because the alleged abuser is dead or the statute of limitations precludes prosecution.

That was the case for John Pilmaier, a 41-year-old social worker in Milwaukee.

He says he was abused by a priest while in second grade at a Catholic school in Brookfield, Wis., but told no one about it until he was 36.

He reached a financial settlement with the Milwaukee Archdiocese, he said, but was prevented by Wisconsin’s statute of limitations from taking the priest to court.

Like Vercellotti, he’s gained some vicarious satisfaction as he follows the Sandusky testimony.

“It’s heartening for me to see them testify and hold the person accountable — a lot of us weren’t able to do that,” Pilmaier said.

“That can be a very healing thing — to be able to stare down the person who so grievously harmed you,” he added. “It’s what you couldn’t do as a child. You’re able to take power back from the abuser.”

Becky Ianni of Burke, Va., waited until she was 48 to reveal abuse she says she endured at the hands of a priest when she was 9 and 10.

When she decided to speak out, in 2006, she went before a church review board to make her allegations, and burst into tears as she underwent questioning.

She said memories of that encounter resurfaced as she followed the reports of some of the Sandusky witnesses fighting back tears during their testimony.

“I remembered sobbing and crying when I went to the church and told my story … and being challenged about it,” she said. “To me, it felt like I was on trial. I remember how hard it was for me, and how ashamed I felt about what happened to me. My heart went out to these victims, thinking how hard it must be for them.”

Woods tied for U.S. Open lead SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Just when this U.S. Open was starting to look like child’s play, Tiger Woods led a trio of tested champions who took it back Friday.

Woods, another round closer to a serious shot at his 15th major, overcame three straight bogeys on the front nine for an evenpar 70.

They were the only three players who remained under par going into the weekend.

thick rough and the trees on the brutal front nine of Olympic and had to settle for a 73.

That wasn’t the only surprise.

Defending champion Rory McIlroy missed the cut for the fourth time in his last five tournaments.

He set a U.S. Open record last year at Congressional with a 131 through 36 holes. He was 19 shots worse at Olympic, with a 73 giving him a two-day score of 150.

“It wasn’t the way I wanted to play,” he said.

Also leaving San Francisco far earlier than anyone expected were Luke Donald, the world’s No. 1 player, Masters champion Bubba Watson and Dustin Johnson, coming off a win last week at the St. Jude Classic.

It doesn’t take much at this U.S. Open to swallow up even the best players.

Woods had to be close to his best simply to break par.

Cinderella upended UCLA routs Stony Brook OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — UCLA didn’t take long to suck the life out of a College World Series crowd that wanted to see that lovable team from Long Island win yet another game during its amazing postseason run.

Adam Plutko turned in his third straight strong start and the No. 2 national seed Bruins jumped on CWS newcomer Stony Brook for five runs in the first inning on their way to a 9-1 victory in Friday’s opener.

“We knew everybody was going to be rooting for these guys,” UCLA leadoff man Beau Amaral said, “and being able to take the crowd out of it early is a pretty big deal.”

The locals in Omaha always adopt an underdog as their favorite. Stony Brook, little known outside the Northeast, was an obvious choice after its magical run through the regional and super regional.

If the Bruins (48-14) were overlooked coming in because of the fanfare surrounding the Seawolves, they aren’t any longer.

They sent 10 batters to the plate in the first inning against Tyler Johnson (122), who allowed a seasonhigh seven runs in a 2 1-3inning outing that was his shortest of the year.

Jeff Gelalich’s basesloaded single opened the scoring, and Kevin Williams’ two-run double off Jasvir Rakkar in the third made it 7-1.

“We had some plate discipline, had some quality atbats, and we were fortunate we got some runs,” UCLA coach John Savage said. “I’m sure he has not started off a game like that all season long.”

Pat Cantwell’s homer accounted for Stony Brook’s only run off Plutko (12-3),

UCLA’s Jeff Gelalich (20) is tagged out by Stony Brook third baseman William Carmona in a rundown between second and third base on an attempted stolen base in the second inning of a College World Series game in Omaha, Neb. Friday. who allowed five hits and struck out seven in seven innings.

Plutko has given up three runs and 14 hits in 23 postseason innings.

Stony Brook (52-14), a Division I baseball program for only 12 years, emerged on the national scene this week with its “Shock The World” mantra after upsetting powerful LSU in a three-game super regional in Baton Rouge, La. The Seawolves came to town as the first team from the Northeast to play at the CWS since Maine in 1986.

On college baseball’s biggest stage they were no match for a UCLA team that has won 134 games the past three seasons the best stretch in program history.

Plutko, who threw a twohit shutout against Creighton in the regional and allowed two runs in seven innings against TCU in the super regional, gave

up just two singles before Cantwell drilled his second homer of the season in the third.

“Even if they hadn’t scored as much as they did early, you go up against a team like that, and a pitcher like that, you’re only going to get a couple of chances to score,” Stony Brook coach Matt Senk said. “We had some chances with people in scoring position with less than two outs, and we didn’t take advantage of that.”

Stony Brook threatened in the second inning when its first two batters reached base and again in the fifth after Sal Intagliata’s double put men on second and third with no outs.

The Seawolves couldn’t push across a run either time. Plutko got a strikeout and pop foul to end the second. In the fifth, UCLA first baseman Trevor Brown threw out Kevin Courtney at home after Travis

Jankowski grounded out, though it appeared on television replays that Courtney touched the plate ahead of Tyler Heineman’s tag.

“Any pitcher knows that you get a lot of confidence when your team starts scoring runs. It makes it easier to pitch,” Plutko said. “They did a good job coming back in the top of the second inning. They really put the pressure on. I got out of it, but it gives the team a lot of confidence, and gives the pitcher, for sure, a lot of confidence.”

The Bruins, winners of 10 straight and 20 of their last 22, have outscored the competition 42-10 in six NCAA tournament games.

They wasted no time getting to Johnson, who came in 3-0 in the NCAA tournament and off wins in 12 straight decisions since a March 2 loss to East Carolina.

■ College Football

Meyer tours the competition CAMP HILL, Pa. (AP) — Urban Meyer created a minor stir at a news conference Friday for a high school All-Star football game between Ohio and Pennsylvania without saying a word.

Imagine what Ohio State’s new coach could do on the recruiting trail in Pennsylvania, long fertile territory for prospective talent for the Buckeyes. There’s an added twist, too, in the interstate recruiting battles: Ohio State, Penn State and Pitt each have new coaches.

“There’s change. There’s

maybe a little level of discomfort in what had happened in Columbus,” Meyer said when asked about how the dynamics of having three new coaches at each school might affect recruiting tussles. “Just keep fighting through it, and work as hard as you can moving forward.”

Ten minutes late, Meyer was seated before a bank of microphones right next to the Big Ten’s other high-profile new hire, the Nittany Lions’ Bill O’Brien, at the news conference to promote the Big 33 high school foot-

ball game between Ohio and Pennsylvania. Also in attendance were Pittsburgh Steelers star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, new Pitt coach Paul Chryst and Temple coach Steve Addazio Meyer’s offensive coordinator at Florida.

Among the Pennsylvania contingent of coaches at the podium, Addazio was the dean of the delegation and he’s only in his second year.

“I’ll take all the advice I can get,” O’Brien joked.

“Let me tell you something. I’m in no position to give any advice, OK,”

Addazio retorted, drawing chuckles. “It’s hysterical to me sometimes how fast our business moves.”

Each member of the Pennsylvania contingent offered Meyer a cordial welcome upon his late arrival.

Later, when they walked out on stage during a high-tech introduction before at least a couple hundred people inside an auditorium, Meyer was introduced before O’Brien but O’Brien drew the biggest round of applause.

This is still Nittany Lions territory, after all.

he crashed into the wall while trying to catch Bruce’s inside-the-park homer. The Mets said he left the game with a possible concussion, the latest setback for a player who has been an injury-plagued bust in New York since signing a $66 million, four-year contract before the 2010 season.

Bay missed the final two months of his first season

with the Mets because of a concussion he sustained while slamming into the left-field fence to make a catch at Dodger Stadium.

Bruce led off the second inning with an oppositefield drive into the left-field corner. Bay raced back, tumbled to the warning track as the ball barely eluded him and then hit his head against the lower part of the fence.

■ Major League Baseball

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 striking out five and walking two.

Wilson Valdez, making his first major league start in center field, had a tworun double and three RBIs for Cincinnati.

Jose Arredondo, Sean Marshall and Aroldis Chapman each worked a hitless inning out of the bullpen.

Reds slugger Joey Votto and Mets star David Wright

were both hit by pitches, but neither led to any trouble.

New York starter Dillon Gee (4-5) gave up four runs three earned and five hits in six innings. The Mets had just returned from Tampa Bay, where they outscored the Rays 29-9 for a threegame sweep that salvaged a 4-5 road trip against three of baseball’s top teams.

Bay was injured when

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians can’t score for Justin Masterson, who gets less run support than any other starter in the AL. He’s found a way to deal with it.

“I’ve got to make sure no one scores,” he said.

“That’s your job as the pitcher.” pitched Masterson seven effective innings, working out of jams three times, and Cleveland snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.

Masterson (3-6) allowed four hits, struck out nine and ended his own threegame slide. He wriggled out of threats in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings, and got a huge defensive play from second baseman Jason Kipnis in the sixth.

Vinnie Pestano worked the eighth and Chris Perez pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 21st save as the Indians bounced back after being swept in a series at Cincinnati. Perez, who always seems to make it interesting, gave up a leadoff single before getting a fly ball and game-ending double play.

Carlos Santana hit an RBI double in the third off James McDonald (5-3) and Michael Brantley extended baseball’s longest hitting streak this season to 22 games with a run-scoring single in the eighth.

“What streak?”

Brantley said, afraid to jinx himself.

The Pirates have lost

four straight and were shut out for the sixth time this season.

Masterson hadn’t won since May 24, when he beat reigning AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander 2-1.

Masterson had dropped his previous three outings despite pitching well in two of them. He lost 2-0 in St. Louis in his last start, when he gave up one run in seven innings.

The right-hander had the Pirates flailing at a wicked slider that slid across the plate and out of the strike zone. During one stretch from the second through fourth innings, he recorded seven consecutive outs with strikeouts.

“He was terrific,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “He had the best slider I’ve seen this year.”

For whatever reason, the Indians’ offense struggles when Masterson is on the mound. He has received two or fewer runs in eight straight starts and 11 of 14 this season.

“Trust me, the offense is very well aware of that as I’m sure he is too,” Kipnis said. “We want to give him all the runs that he deserves. But after that series we just had in Cincinnati, for him to come out and give us that kind of start was tremendous.”

Masterson got into trouble in the fourth when the Pirates loaded the bases on a pair of walks and a single. But the 6foot-6 Masterson struck out Jose Tabata on one of those filthy sliders to end the threat.

■ Golf

Miami Shores ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 and under $5 — with a family maximum of $25 — to play Shores’ front nine holes. The course can also provide clubs, balls and tees if needed.

“We’re hoping people will take advantage of it,” Green said. “Maybe they wanted to play on a real course before but were afraid of getting in more practiced golfers’ way, or maybe they were afraid of what people would think.

With this, we want to give them a chance to see what it’s like to play on a course without worrying about all of that, to play with people around their own skill level so they can play without feeling that pressure from people that play all the time.”

The holes are all played from forward tees,

reducing the distance some, and the holes themselves are 8-inches instead of 4.25-inches.

Miami Shores hosted its first Family Fun Night of the season on June 10 — and had a surprisingly large turnout despite a lack of promotion.

“We had 13 people show up with relatively no advertising,” Green said. “There’s no age limit, either. We had a couple of three- and -fouryear-olds that first night, as well as some grandparents out with their grandkids.

“We really want to get everyone involved, to give everyone a chance to see how great the game of golf is.”
