Soldier digs into war story A Fort Campbell soldier has turned his lifelong passion for finding military artifacts into a mission to discover what happened to a young World War II pilot missing since 1945.

What started as a hobby for Sgt. 1st Class Danny Keay followed him throughout his career in the U.S. Army, where he currently serves at Fort Campbell, Ky., in the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, a unit that dates to World War II. Keay was born in the United Kingdom but grew up in Germany, where he would take his father’s metal detector out into the German countryside, track down plane crash sites, and dig out buried debris and plane parts that had been untouched for decades.

Former “Old Guardsman” Ronald E. Hufford visited the Miami Valley Veterans Museum to discuss his military service during a recent coffee and doughnuts gathering, which happens the first Wednesday morning of each month at the museum in Troy. Hufford served as a “tomb guard” in the United States Army 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard) at Fort Myer, Va., from 1958-1959. Here Hufford, left, speaks with veteran Sterkel Coyne of Piqua, while looking over memorabilia. Coyne was a Navy Seabee decades ago.

A Molotov cocktail-type bottle bomb was found in the road in front of 3125 Peebles Road near Troy around 7:30 a.m. Sunday.

Deputies from the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office and Troy Fire Department arrived to find an unbroken bottle with flames coming from the open top and glass from what appeared to be another bottle nearby.

They summoned the Dayton Bomb Squad to the scene as a precaution since the large glass bottle was still burning.

The bomb squad used a robot to pick up the bottle

Panetta: U.S. on ‘right track’ in Afghanistan WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Sunday defended the Obama administration’s plans to wind down the more than decade-long war in Afghanistan, saying the U.S. is on “the right track.”

“We still have a fight on our hands,” Panetta said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

“The American people need to know that. The world needs to know that … but we’re on the right track,” he added.

Last week, NATO allies affirmed a plan to end combat operations inside Afghanistan by the end of 2014. Republicans, including Mitt Romney, have criticized President Barack Obama’s insistence on setting a firm timetable for the war because they say it shows a lack of commitment to the region and encourages enemy fight-

ers to wait out a U.S. departure.

Panetta said critics of the plan should be mindful that the timetable has been embraced by some 50 allied nations.

“That is the plan that has been agreed to. And it’s a plan that is working,” Panetta said.

“And very frankly, the only way to get this accomplished — in terms of the transition that we have to go through — is to be able to set the kind of timelines that have been set here in order to ensure that we fulfill the mission of an Afghanistan that governs and secures itself,” he added.

Panetta also reiterated his criticism of the conviction of a Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA find and kill terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, calling the lengthy prison sentence handed to Dr. Shakil Afridi “disturbing.”

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Building a memorial to the veterans of the Vietnam War was the idea of Jan Scruggs. Scruggs was a former infantry corporal during the Vietnam War. A group of Vietnam veterans established the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, Inc. in 1979. The founders wanted to make sure that the memorial chosen would not offend the opinion of any American. They knew they wanted the names of all the Americans who had died in the Vietnam War or who remained missing to be included in this memorial.

Maya Ying Lin designed the memorial wall. Her choice of polished black granite for the walls proved to be an excellent material for this memorial. There are 58,229 names engraved on the walls. The names are arranged according to the date of their death. Each name with a confirmed death has a diamond shape after the name. This memorial is a place where family members can go to remember their loved ones who died or were lost in the war. People leave items to memorialize these veterans. It is a place of healing for many Americans.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial consists of the walls of names, a statue of three men fighting in Vietnam, and the Vietnam Women’s Memorial.

Frederick Hart created the statue, which is located at the entrance

of the memorial, along with a 60foot flagpole. The Women’s Memorial was designed by Glenna Goodacre, and depicts three uniformed women and a wounded soldier.

The memorial is located in Washington, D.C., and is administered by the National Park Service.

WHAT ARE THE STATISTICS OF THE MEMORIAL? Each of the walls is 246.75 feet long, composed of 70 separate inscribed granite panels, plus 4 at the end without names; the panels themselves are 40 inches in width; the largest panels have 137 lines of names, while the shortest have one; there are five names on each line, although with new additions of names, some lines now have six; the walls are supported by 140 concrete pilings driven approximately 35 feet (some are at 20 feet) to bedrock; at the vertex the walls are 10.1 feet in height.

Answer the questions about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial 1. Who was the designer of the Vietnam Veterans Wall? a. Glenna Goodacre b. Frederick Hart c. Jan Scruggs d. Maya Ying Lin

3. Who is given credit for the idea of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial? a. Frederick Hart b. Maya Ying Lin c. Jan Scruggs d. Glenna Goodacre

The Ghost in the Courthouse Statue Written by Bill Bailey Illustrated by Michelle Duckworth Chapter 9 Donnie meets ‘ze great Felix LaBauve’

STORY SO FAR: Jake Passmore, the new editor of The Jefferson Times, creates some unusual stories for his readers.

Unbeknownst to him, he has received assistance from Felix LaBauve, a French ghost. But when Jake gets Donnie to act like a space alien in a flying saucer, Felix no longer helps out. When Jake's scam is revealed, the crowd pummels him and Donnie with fruits and vegetables. Three bullies give Donnie a hard time at school, but Lolly, a girl he likes, makes a sympathetic gesture toward him.

At The Times staff meeting after school, my bad day got worse. Jake told us he had assured Police Chief Banks we wouldn't be pulling any more stunts that would get the town all stirred up.

"No harm, no foul, right?" Jake said to his staff.

"Wrong!" Mom snapped. "Donnie could've been seriously hurt!"

Irene and Mrs. Buntin voiced their agreement.

"Relax, everybody.... He was safe enough," said Jake. "I had it all under control."

"He totally did, Mom. No problem," I said, hoping to calm her down. She didn't buy it for a second.

"Oh, there's a problem all right," Mom said. "He's teaching you to lie for him. And even worse, how to be a con artist."

"Don't beat around the bush," Jake said. "Tell us how you really feel."

"All right, I will," she said. "As of this instant, Donnie is no longer part of your staff. Is that clear enough?"

Then, she marched out, tugging me with her. Catching a glimpse of Jake's stunned face, I reached back with my free hand to close the front door behind us. Its bell jangled loudly.

Now that the ride of my life had bottomed out, I was feeling pretty sorry for myself.

Later, that night, Humpty and I sat on the bench next to Felix's statue, trying to sort it all out.

"It just goes to show, you can't trust nobody," I said.

"Anybody," Humpty said.

"What?" I said.

"Anybody. You can't trust anybody," said Humpty. "Except me."

"To be honest, I'm not even sure about you any more," I said.

Humpty looked hurt.

"Well, you'll have to admit you're acting strange lately," I said. "I can't tell whether you're you or you're Felix."

"To tell you the truth, I'm having a hard time figuring that out myself," Humpty said.

"And I've gone from being assistant editor to being a bad joke," I said.

"Everybody at school – no, make that

the whole town – thinks I'm a loser now."

Looking at the statue, I said, "It's all your fault, you useless hunka stone.

You're one sorry excuse for a ghost."

"Excusez-moi?!" a voice said.

I looked at Humpty, but the voice wasn't coming from him.

"Some friend you are," I said, speaking at the statue. "I asked you to save me, and you did nothing. You just stood by, while I got stuck in a food blizzard."

"Theese ees ze thanks I get for – how you say – saving your editor's sausage ze other day." The voice wasn't coming from the statue, but from some other place nearby.

"Bacon," I said.

"What?" he said.

"The saying is 'I saved your bacon' – not your sausage. But I've got a different saying for you. You're full of baloney."

"You, sir... are an ungrateful nincompoop!" he said.

"Nincompoop!" I laughed. "Wow, that cuts deep. You French ghosts really know how to hurt a guy."

"Aren't you forgetting something, my friend?" he said.

"No, I remember it like it was the day before yesterday – which it was. You left me hanging," I said. "I felt like a duck at one of those carnival shooting games."

"Au contraire, mon frère," he said. "If I hadn't brought Meester Passmore's preposterous turnip to life, you never would have gotten ze asseestant editor job. And did I not earn you $300 by sending my spirit into theese ludicrous egg puppet?"

"Ludicrous?! You'd better watch your mouth, you French-fried freak," Humpty said.

"Hold on, Humpty. He does have a

point about how he helped me before," I said. "But -" "And what about earlier, with ze mean bullies? That rock would have smashed your impertinent leetle face - if I hadn't given it ze ol' boomerang. You never once said 'merci.' " "Whoa, slow down," I said. "All of that's true. But why didn't you help me out when I was stuck in the saucer, and the crowd at the Jefferson Farmers Market was throwing a whole garden of veggies at me?"

"Did I not inform you in ze clearest possible terms that you were now to be on your own?" he asked.

"You set me up, Felix," I said. "You helped me get this crazy job, then left me high and dry when the going got tough."

"Eet ees not that simple," Felix said.

"Allow me to explain, si'l vous plaît. I used ze turnip een an effort to scare ze crooks into leaving town. But they did not leave. And why should they? They realize ze new editor ees a fool. I say to myself, why risk my freedom for theese ridiculous loser?"

"You lost me there. Risk your freedom?"

"There are ghost rules, mon ami. Eef I – how you say – push on ze envelope too much, I weel become imprisoned in ze statue. That ees ze punishment for interfering in human affairs. Eef I had saved you from ze fruity mob, eet might have been too much meddling. Perhaps even ze last straw that broke ze camel's backside."

"Enough with the American sayings already," I said. "You're butchering the English language."

At that point, I smelled a smoky aroma that was sweet like cherries, and it

was coming from the gazebo nearby. The glow of a pipe lit up a face in the darkness. It was a dignifiedlooking old man with a trimmed mustache and goatee.

"Eet ees you Americans who have butchered ze language," he said. "I have worked hard to learn your idioms through the years, but you create more and more of theese abominations. Please to remember, I have not spoken with a human in more than 130 years."

He rose to his feet and glided out of the gazebo, puffing a giant smoke ring into the air. He wore an elegant, long, gray coat. A sword hung from a scabbard at his waist.

His eyes shined, as his gaze fixed on me.

"You're not – " I gasped. " – Ze great Felix LaBauve. At your service, monsieur." He was the spitting image of the statue.

"But you're a spirit. I didn't think I would actually be able to see you."

"You're ze only one who has that honor," he said. "I bent a ghost rule to do theese, but eet was necessary."

Then it hit me what was going on. For his next scam, Jake had gotten someone to pretend to be Felix LaBauve, just like he got me to impersonate an alien.

Knowing how I talk to Felix's statue sometimes, Jake thought I'd be the perfect sucker to spread a news story – about a ghost loose in Jefferson. What kind of fool did he take me for?

"I gotta hand it to you, sir. You're good, whoever you are," I said.

"Excusez-moi. I do not understand," he said.

"Awesome costume," I said. "But the accent's a little cheesy."

His eyes glared, burning right into me. If I didn't know better, I would have believed he was really hacked off.

"Are you calling me a phony, monsieur?" he said. "I challenge you to a duel." He whipped out an incredibly sharp sword and assumed a bowlegged fencing stance.

That did it. I fell out laughing. What a hoot this guy was!

"Come on! Seriously. How much is Jake paying you?"

"You have insulted me, monsieur.

Prepare yourself... for annihilation!"

Grasping the hilt with both hands, he raised the sword high above his head.

Looking into his eyes, I suddenly began to think I had made a big mistake.

Nobody could act this well. This madman actually thought he was Felix LaBauve. Either that – or he was the real deal. Either way, he was about to slice me in two like an apple!

I closed my eyes as the blade fell fast and hard, right toward the top of my head.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Kansas City (Mo.) Star on the agricultural version of Fannie Mae: While the U.S. economy as a whole remains sluggish, the farm sector has been doing well. Exceptionally well, in fact.

Last year net farm income was a record $101 billion, and it’s expected to be only slightly off the pace in 2012. With the national debt ballooning and the federal deficit still well over $1 trillion, you’d think lawmakers would be determined to seriously scale back taxpayer support for agriculture.

But you’d be wrong. True, the farm bill endorsed recently by the Senate Agriculture Committee calls for a $23 billion drop in farm programs over 10 years.

Yet that’s just $2.3 billion a year — a pittance relative to the deficit.

The bill does include a few welcome changes.

The Senate bill would add the shallow loss program on top of that.

If that discouraging evaluation proves correct, then the prospect of ever seeing real spending discipline in Washington seems pretty remote.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle on U.S.-Mexican border violence: It’s amazing what a difference an artificial border, a line on a map, can make.

There’s a grotesque war going on just south of the U.S.Mexican border, with death tolls and horrors and headless bodies that would make Americans recoil if it all were occurring in Afghanistan.

They’re calling it the “Triangle of Death” - an area of northern Mexico near Monterrey bordered by major highways where the recent discovery of 49 decapitated bodies dumped by the road was the third such massacre in 10 days.

The unspeakable butchery is the product of Mexican drug cartels fighting each other for dominance - and the Mexican government’s abject failure to get on top of it …

The violence, of course, is closely connected with America’s insatiable appetite for illegal drugs — a “victimless” crime that nevertheless leaves a trail of red carnage — and this country’s inability to control its border with Mexico.

How many people do you suppose have been killed in the unchecked violence since 2006? Try more than 50,000. …

What’s going on?

LETTERS

Thank you for your support To the Editor: I would like to thank the kind soul who anonymously returned my wallet the other day. After losing my wallet in the Kroger parking lot three days ago, I received an unmarked package on my

front door step the next day that contained my wallet, along with the $36 in cash I had in it and all my credit cards. The person must have found my address on my driver’s license.

There was no name attached to the envelope, only a note that said, “I found your wallet and wanted to make sure you got it back. I lost mine once and it was never

returned. I know what a horrible feeling that is.”

What a kind soul! The world needs more people like this.

Since I don’t know who you are, I hope you are reading this.

Your kindness was much appreciated!

DOONESBURY

Turns out they also serve who sit-in and wait They also serve who sit-in and wait A friend and I were going out for the day and she was picking me up. This woman and I are on opposite ends of the political agenda scale. She thinks I’m a bleeding heart liberal out to erode the underpinnings of democracy (not true) and I think she’s a person just slightly to the right of Genghis Khan whose real mission is to destroy our civil rights and abolish separation of church and state (also not true). Still, we share common ground — a love of shoes — and so we set aside our philosophic differences in the interest of attractive footwear.

After we were settled in the car and on our way, she inquired if she had forgotten a holiday or something. No regular holiday like July fourth came to mind, nor did one of those manufactured ones such as administrative assistant day. So I asked her the reason for her question.

“Well,” she replied, “you have your American flag out. I was wondering if today is a holiday.”

I explained to her that I fly the flag every day. This sur-

Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist prised her. As tactfully as possible, my friend expressed the opinion that she didn’t think persons of my political bent were much on patriotism or flag waving or anything much short of borderline anarchy. And there’s the rub.

As Forest Gump might say, patriotism is as patriotism does.

Volume does not equal truth.

The voice stridently bleating the loudest about love of country is not necessarily the most sincere.

If I might be permitted to quote a more obscure source, allow me to cite Ambrose Bierce’s response to Dr. Samuel Johnson’s thought that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Upon learning of this sentiment, Mr. Bierce said, “In

— Mark Jones Troy

Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary, patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer, I beg to submit it is the first.”

Sort of a fancy way of saying a lot of blowhards hide behind the flag.

Displaying the flag is a small thing, but it reminds me how lucky I am to have been born in this country. It reminds me that being in America means my friend and I can differ wildly on our opinions of how the country should be run and who should be running it without fear of the hostile knock on the door at the dark deadly hour of three in the morning. Being in America entitles us not only to have those differences, but to embrace them.

Being in America gives us the right not only to fly the flag in honor of all that’s good but also protects the rights of those who wish to burn the flag in outrage of all that’s wrong.

For what good is a freedom that is not exercised? What use is it to be a homogenized people, rubber-stamped and pigeon-

holed and stripped of our individuality? The veterans who fight and die and endure unseen wounds to protect our freedoms do not do so just for those who agree with them. They struggle and suffer and sit watch also for those whose opinions they loathe. They fight for the right to disagree. Like Patrick Henry quoting Voltaire, the soldier does not always agree with what is said but will (and does) defend to the death the right to say it.

Another of my friends is a Vietnam veteran awarded the Purple Heart. I asked him what he thought about being submersed in a foreign land, fighting a terrifically unpopular war that was widely protested here at home. While he admitted there is nothing romantic about jungle rot or picking leeches off one’s legs what he thought he was doing in part was protecting the rights of the protesters to protest.

Every day is Memorial Day.

AP PHOTOS grandchildren, Wesley She enjoyed poetry, This May 25, 2012, photo shows Sgt. 1st Class Danny Keay in the Kentucky Veterans Eppley, Aric Eppley, Cemetery West in Hopkinsville, Ky. The Fort Campbell soldier has turned his lifelong passion for finding military artifacts into a mission to discover what happened to FUNERAL DIRECTORY 1st Lt. Paul Mazal, a young World War II pilot missing since 1945.

Army soldier digs into story of missing World War II pilot memb e r s still conside r e d missing in action from Wo r l d War II. “This KEAY is somebody’s son. This is somebody’s father, somebody’s brother. You become more interested in the people than the airplanes,” he said.

In 2004, he was contacted by a German researcher who said he knew the location of a downed P-47D Thunderbolt plane that was due to be covered up by a road in West Germany. An American fighter bomber pilot, 22year-old 1st Lt. Paul Mazal of Loomis, Calif., was believed to have been shot down in the area in March 1945.

Keay said many sites of WWII wreckage are found by private groups that do their own research and present their evidence to the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, which then confirms the identities. Often DNA evidence gathered from family members is used to make the ID. In 2005, Keay and his team dug out the Thunderbolt plane wreckage and found the Mazal’s remains. Keay, who had found the remains of other

Allied troops before this dig, said he was amazed to find the pilot’s remains remarkably intact.

“He was still in a sitting position,” Keay said.

“We had to unbuckle his parachute and his jacket to look for his dog tags.”

The remains were turned over to JPAC, which returned them to Mazal’s living family members, who include a cousin and a brother.

But Keay’s digging didn’t stop there. He wanted to know more about this young fighter pilot and what his last days were like fighting on the front lines of the European theater.

The pilot’s cousin found a letter from Mazal that said in the final days of his life he had been staying with a Belgian family near the airfield where he was based. So Keay tracked down the family in Belgium, went to the house where Mazal had lived and met family members who gave him information about the pilot’s life.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) — A Fort Campbell soldier has turned his lifelong passion for finding military artifacts into a mission to discover what happened to a young World War II pilot missing since 1945.

What started as a hobby for Sgt. 1st Class Danny Keay followed him throughout his career in the U.S. Army, where he currently serves at Fort Campbell, Ky., in the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, a unit that dates to World War II. Keay was born in the United Kingdom but grew up in Germany, where he would take his father’s metal detector out into the German countryside, track down plane crash sites, and dig out buried debris and plane parts that had been untouched for decades.

“The plane crash sites have always held an interest for me, because I have always been into plastic models,” he said. “My dad was in the Royal Air Force for 22 years. If it had wings, I could identify it.”

He met his wife, an American service member, while she was stationed in Germany and they moved to the United States, where he joined the Army in 1992.

The Army sent him back to Germany in 2002, where he reignited his interest in finding not only the planes, but the young men lost with them.

To date, there are more than 70,000 U.S. service

with the Rev. Fr. Angelo Caserta as Celebrant.

Burial will follow in Forest Hill Cemetery, Piqua.

Friends may call from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday at MelcherSowers Funeral Home, Piqua. A prayer service will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the funeral home.

Memorial contributions may be made to Dayton Vitas Hospice Care, 3055 Kettering Blvd., Suite 320, Dayton, OH 45439.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Please pay homage to our fallen soldiers Dear Readers: Today is Memorial Day. Please remember those servicemen and women who have died serving their country.

You can honor our fallen heroes by visiting cemeteries and placing flags or flowers on the graves of veterans. It is also customary to fly the flag at half-staff until noon.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, on Memorial Day, you printed the words to Taps. Very few people actually know the history of this melody.

Until the Civil War, there was a bugle call known as Lights Out or Extinguish Lights. The melody was a variation of a common military tune called a tattoo, and was written by Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott and first published in 1835.

Union Gen. Daniel Butterfield, who could not read music, adapted the tune for his brigade in 1862 with the help of his brigade bugler, Oliver Norton. This adaptation became known as Taps.

Later that year, Capt. John C. Tidball started the custom of playing Taps at a military funeral. A corporal in his unit died, and Tidball wanted to bury him with full honors, which included a three-gun salute, but his request was denied due to the closeness of the enemy positions. Instead, he decided to play Butterfield's version of Taps. The new bugle call quickly spread to other units, and it became a standard component of U.S. military funerals in 1891.

Butterfield died in 1901, and Taps was played at his funeral. No one knows who wrote the words, but I'd appreciate it if you could print them again. — New York History Buff Dear History Buff: We would be honored to do so: Taps Day is done, gone the sun, From the hills, from the lake, from the skies.

All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Go to sleep, peaceful sleep, May the soldier or sailor, our God keep.

On the land or the deep, Safe in sleep.

Love, good night, must thou go, When the day, and the night need thee so?

All is well. Speedeth all To their rest.

Fades the light; and afar, Goeth day, and the stars shineth bright, Fare thee well; day has gone, Night is on.

Thanks and praise, for our days, 'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, 'neath the sky, As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Dear Annie: You often print letters from older folks who complain about young people, but here's the flip side.

I have noticed at family gatherings that the older relatives tell horrifying stories about terrible things that happened, give a lot of detail about what physical ailments they or their friends are experiencing, or make comments that are racist or sexist, all of which my young daughters cannot help but hear.

I frequently find myself balancing the need to be polite and respectful, while wishing they would use a G-rated filter on their conversation. We have worked hard to raise our children with little gratuitous exposure to violence and discriminatory remarks. To have our efforts derailed by their own sweet grandmother telling a story of the awful family next door or their grandfather making sweeping derogatory comments about a particular ethnic group is very frustrating.

Please encourage your older readers to temper their stories and comments when young ones are around. — Sandwiched in Vermont Dear Vermont: Thanks for the suggestion. Don't be reluctant to tell Grandma and Grandpa that you'd appreciate it if they would be more circumspect around the little ones. They probably have no idea that you object — or why.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

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

Here’s a follow-up to earlier foam column Dear Readers: Wow! Who knew so many readers had hints about recycling insulated foam boxes? Here is a small sample: Sonia in Nebraska says, “Foam boxes are perfect for protecting breakable items when traveling or shipping.”

Pam in Maryland says: “My husband came up with a game where the grandkids stack them to the ceiling, then get to knock them down. The fun lasts forever.”

Michele in New Hampshire says, “Why not donate them to Meals on Wheels or a similar program?”

Hints from Heloise Columnist Victoria in Washington, D.C., says, “Insulated boxes are great for arts-and-crafts projects at schools and day-care centers.”

Diane, via email, says, “This past Christmas, my neighbor lady wrapped festive bows around them to look like pres-

ents and placed them outside among her shrubbery as decorations.”

Lynn in Maryland says, “I have used foam coolers to provide a home-cooked meal to new parents or parents-to-be.”

These are all great hints!

Keep them coming! — Heloise KEYBOARD CLIP Dear Heloise: My keyboard console slides out. It was constantly sliding back while I was working, and it was becoming a big hassle. I found a solution. I took an extra-large binder clip, found at any office-supply store, and clipped it to the track after sliding the keyboard out. Now it

stays in place, and my work isn’t interrupted. — Colleen in Colorado BANDAGE AID Dear Heloise: After adhesive bandages are removed from my grandchildren’s scrapes and bruises, there is a residue that is very difficult to remove. Any suggestions? — A Reader, via email What a sticky situation! Try either baby oil or lotion. Apply a generous amount to the bandage before removal or on the residue that is left behind. Let soak for a little while, then gently remove the bandage or glue.

Hope you can pull this one off!

HOROSCOPE Monday, May 28, 2012 There is a strong chance that you will be quite restless and eager to explore as many new areas as possible in the year ahead. This opens the door for numerous exciting developments to occur, leading to some big surprises.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — The best way to influence others is to lead by example. Plus, be sure that all the directives you give are explicit and clear. If you fail in either area, you won’t have any kind of following.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Just because you talk about doing something doesn’t mean the job is now done. Adopting such a mindset will severely dilute your productiveness and put you far behind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be extremely careful regarding to whom you go for financial advice, especially if the matter involves a large sum of money. Make sure your counselor has an excellent track record.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Just because someone disagrees with your ideas or opinions doesn’t mean he or she is the enemy. Be accepting of individuals with divergent views.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Your attitude will be the determining factor as to whether you succeed or fail. If you feel the world is against you, you will find ways to prove you are right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — If someone close to you doesn’t want to discuss a certain matter, instead of badgering him or her, be respectful of what the person wants. She or he has valid reasons for being secret.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Be your own advocate instead of letting someone else speak for you, especially to an authority figure. No one can plead your case as well as you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you want something done a certain way, you should shoulder some of the burden in order to set the example.

Don’t expect others to read your mind and do things exactly as you want unless you show them through effort.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — When you’re involved in an endeavor that includes other people, it’s smart not to make any changes without first consulting everyone else. The time it takes could save you a big headache.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Any disagreement between you and your mate should only be dealt with in private. Hold your tongue until you’re alone, so that onlookers don’t lose respect for both of you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t cause needless problems by making mountains out of molehills or blowing a petty infraction way out of proportion. Life is already tough enough.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Two things could happen to you if you make an impulse buy: First, you could end up with inferior merchandise if you don’t do your research, and second, you’re likely to spend far more than you should.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, May 28, the 149th day of 2012.

There are 217 days left in the year. This is the Memorial Day observance.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 28, 1912, the Senate Commerce Committee issued its report on the sinking of the Titanic. Sen. William Alden Smith, R-Mich., chairman of the special subcommittee that looked into the disaster, cited a “state of absolute unprepared-

ness,” improperly tested safety equipment and an “indifference to danger” on the part of the ship’s captain, Edward Smith, as being among the causes of an “unnecessary tragedy.”

On this date: • In 1533, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, declared the marriage of England’s King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn valid.

• In 1863, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, made up of freed

blacks, left Boston to fight for the Union in the Civil War. • In 1892, the Sierra Club was organized in San Francisco.

Today’s Birthdays: Rockabilly singer-musician Sonny Burgess is 83. Actress Carroll Baker is 81. Producerdirector Irwin Winkler is 81.

Actor John Karlen is 79.

Basketball Hall-of-Famer Jerry West is 74. Actress Beth Howland is 71. Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is 68. Singer Gladys Knight is 68.

Franchitti stamped his name

As his three friends lined up with six laps remaining for the final restart — Kanaan out front, Chip Ganassi teammates Franchitti and Dixon second and third — they couldn’t help but wonder if Wheldon was at play.

Coomes had a triple and Mitchell added a double at the plate.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mat Latos throws against the Colorado Rockies in the first inning of a baseball game on Sunday in Cincinnati.

Cincy slug fest Reds outslug Rockies on record day for home runs CINCINNATI (AP) — Here’s how easy it looked to hit home runs at Great American Ball Park on Sunday: Todd Frazier lost his grip on the bat during a swing.

The ball wound up in the seats anyway.

Frazier’s homer helped the Cincinnati Reds out-bash the Colorado Rockies 7-5 in a game that set a record for the 10-yearold stadium with nine home runs.

“I felt the bat slipping out of my hands,” Frazier said. “I looked at the (slow motion) and it looks like my bottom hand is off. At first, I thought it was a short popup, but then I took a couple of steps and said, ‘Oh.’ It’s a pretty interesting way to

hit a home run. It was a pretty cool.”

Brandon Phillips hit a threerun homer and Mat Latos allowed five hits all of them solo home runs.

“You have a day here with this kind of weather, the ball travels real well in this ballpark,” Colorado manager Jim Tracy said. ” he evidence of that is the Frazier home run that was hit. It looked to me like he had maybe a hand-and-a-half on the bat when he hit it, but what are you going to do? The ball went over the fence. It’s that simple.”

Colorado’s Carlos Gonzalez hit two of them, and Troy Tulowitzki, Michael Cuddyer and Dexter Fowler also took the

Cincinnati starter deep.

Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Todd Frazier homered for Cincinnati, which finished 6-1 on a seven-game homestand during which 29 home runs were hit also a ballpark best.

Latos (4-2) had three strikeouts without a walk in a seasonhigh 7 1-3 innings to improve to 4-0 over his last seven starts.

“I didn’t walk anybody?” he said. “That makes me feel a little better. As a pitcher, it’s a bummer to let a team go yard five times. I was just in attack mode. I was just throwing strikes. It’s always good when you throw strikes, but I don’t make excuses. If those pitches

Reds

Spurs win Game 1

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 16 are down, maybe they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave the ballpark. Maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re groundouts.â&#x20AC;?

Said Reds manager Dusty Baker: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you make quality pitches, you can pitch in a shoebox. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pitch in Yellowstone.â&#x20AC;?

Aroldis Chapman pitched 1 2-3 innings for his third save to help the Reds go 6-1 on the homestand.

Jamie Moyer (2-5) gave up seven hits and a seasonhigh seven runs with one

walk and two strikeouts in five innings. He also hit a batter with a pitch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I missed my spot to Bruce,â&#x20AC;?

Moyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably the pitch to Phillips was up a little bit. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the pitch to Votto was a strike. Frazierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was an interesting swing.â&#x20AC;?

Tracy blamed Moyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location as much as the weather. The temperature was 90 degrees prime longball conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jamie Moyer is all about location,â&#x20AC;? Tracy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did

â&#x2013; Auto Racing

get the ball up at times.â&#x20AC;?

Phillips put Cincinnati ahead 5-1 with his fifth homer of the season, a shot to the left-field seats with two outs in the third inning.

Gonzalez cut into the in the fourth, but Todd Frazier restored the four-run lead in the bottom half and the Reds actually scored a run without a homer on Ryan Haniganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single and Zack Cozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double that made it 7-2.

Michael Cuddyer made it 7-3 with the longest drive of

SAN ANTONIO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Manu Ginobili scored 26 points and the San Antonio Spurs won their 19th in a row to tie the NBA record for longest winning streak kept alive in the playoffs, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-98 to open the Western Conference finals on Sunday night.

Obeying orders snarled by coach Gregg Popovich in a fourth-quarter timeout to play â&#x20AC;&#x153;nasty,â&#x20AC;? the Spurs erased a nine-point deficit

that stunned the Thunder, who had looked on their way to finally kicking the perception that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the underdog.

Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 27 points.

Russell Westbrook had 17.

The 2001 Lakers are the only other team to carry a winning streak this long in the playoffs and they did so on their way to a championship.

Game 2 is Tuesday night.

Indy â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 16 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kind of like old times, the three of us back and forwards,â&#x20AC;? Franchitti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dan is laughing at us right now going at it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

It was an absolutely fitting finish, even if the elation for Franchittiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win was tempered by the heartbreak for two other deserving drivers. Dixon, a one-time Indy 500 winner, temporarily relocated his family to St. Petersburg, Fla., to support Wheldonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife and two sons, and Kanaan, 0 for 11 now at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, had openly wept following the death of his former teammate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a lot of us that were close to Dan, you know, you wanted it that little bit more,â&#x20AC;? Dixon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess maybe in the back of your mind, you figured he would probably help you out today, too. I think in that situation, seeing how it lined up with the top three, three of Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends, it was a tough one.â&#x20AC;?

Franchitti won a wheelto-wheel, last-lap battle, sailing away to the checkered flag when Takuma Sato spun out trying to make one last pass on the inside and slammed into the wall.

The race had shaped into what was expected to be a duel to the finish between Franchitti and Dixon. But when the Scot made his final pass of Dixon with two laps to go, he pulled Sato with him and it sapped Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s momentum.

So the last-lap pass attempt was Satoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the taking, and he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pull it off as he hugged the inside white line through Turn 1. His wheels to touch appeared Franchittiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, he spun hard into the wall, and Franchitti sailed past for the win â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this one, just like the first two, under caution.

Dixon crossed the finish line in second, and Kanaan was third.

Indians â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 16 proud of most, more than any numbers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of that one fact of just being here as long as I have.â&#x20AC;? by the Drafted Dodgers in 1994, Konerko played in 55 games for Los Angeles and 26 for Cincinnati before coming to Chicago in a trade after the 1998

season.

The 36-year-old first baseman hit 31 homers last season and 39 the year before that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figured something out,â&#x20AC;?

Gordon Beckham said of Konerko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last three years it just seems like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been unbelievable.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to run out on the field every day with him, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson wins Colonial FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Zach Johnson won the Colonial for his first victory since also winning at Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley two years ago, pulling ahead Sunday when Jason Dufner finally faltered.

Johnson was assessed a two-stroke penalty for failing to replace his ball to its original position after marking it on the 18th hole. That left him with a 2-over 72 and a one-stroke victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to focus on the positives, because I hit a really solid putt and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing I made it,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No harm, no foul. It was my fault.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson moved his original ball mark out of the line of Dufnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s putt on the 18th green. But he forgot to move it back before his final 5-foot putt.

Even with the penalty assessed before signing his scorecard, Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12under 268 total was enough to edge Dufner, who closed with a 74.

Tommy Gainey was a distant third at 7 under after a 67, a stroke better than Jim Furyk.

In what was essentially a match-play final round for the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plaid jacket, Johnson took command at the 414-yard 15th hole.

Dufnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach hit the left side of that green then rolled into a ditch, leading to a triple bogey that put him four strokes back after Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s par.

Gonzalez added his second homer with two outs in the sixth for his third twohomer game of the season and the seventh of his career.

Fowler set the record as a pinch-hitter in the eighth.

In the second inning, Tulowitzki tied the game after Votto went deep in the first inning, but Bruce put the Reds back on top with his first home run since May 8 at Milwaukee. Before that, he had been 2 for 34.

Zach Johnson hits onto the first green during the final round of the PGA Colonial golf tournament Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas.

It was the eighth PGA Tour victory for Johnson, who won $1,152,000. The 2007 Masters championâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record streak of 15 consecutive under-par rounds at Colonial ended.

Dufnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only two PGA Tour victories came in the last four weeks, a stretch when he also got married.

After winning last week at the Byron Nelson Championship, he was trying to match Ben Hogan, his hero, as the only players to win both PGA Tour events in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the same year. Hogan did it in 1946, when the tournaments werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played in consecutive weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty good run, today

obviously a little disappointing to play that poorly and not kind of a chance there at the end,â&#x20AC;? said Dufner, insisting fatigue didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come into play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel pretty good actually. â&#x20AC;Ś I just played really poorly today.â&#x20AC;?

There had already been four two-stroke swings between Dufner and Johnson before that fateful 15th hole. â&#x20AC;˘ Senior PGA BENTON HARBOR, Mich. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roger Chapman won the Senior PGA Championship, holding on for a two-stroke victory after leading comfortably throughout the final round Sunday.

Chapman led by five

after 54 holes and was never really threatened Sunday. His closing 1-over 72 was his worst score of the tournament but it was enough to give the Englishman a win at the major championship.

Chapman, who had never won on the Champions Tour, finished at 13 under. He bogeyed three of the last five holes but had enough of a cushion that it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter.

John Cook was at 11 under after a 69. Hale Irwin shot 68 to finish another stroke back.

Kenny Perry had a tournament-record 62 at Harbor Shores to finish five shots behind in ninth place.

Kahne wins Coke 600 CONCORD, N.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kasey Kahne powered to victory in the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night, taking NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest race for the third time for his first win with Hendrick Motorsports.

Kahne also gave car owner Rick Hendrick his 201st Sprint Cup series victory.

Kahne crossed the finish line nearly 5 seconds ahead of Denny Hamlin. Kyle Busch was third and series points leader Greg Biffle fourth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so great to win for Mr. Hendrick,â&#x20AC;? Kahne said.

As Kahne celebrated, teammate Jeff Gordon gave him a bear hug and told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proud of you.â&#x20AC;?

Kahne became the 16th Hendrick driver for to take the checkered flag.

It was Kahneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13th career win and first since last November in Phoenix.

Hendrick drivers were all near the top.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was sixth, and

Greg Biffle (16) and Kasey Kahne (5) race down the front stretch during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 auto race Sunday in Concord, N.C. Gordon seventh just his third top 10 finish of the season.

Five-time series champion Jimmie Johnson was 11th. He was in contention until the final pit stop when he left with his gas can still engaged, dragging his crew member along. NASCAR docked him with a stop-andgo penalty to end his chances.

Danica Patrick, the first woman to drive in the race since Janet Guthrie in 1976, was five laps down in 30th.

Still, it was her best finish in three career Sprint Cup races.

Car owner Chip Ganassi flew to Charlotte after celebrating Dario Franchittiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win at the Indianapolis 500 earlier Sunday. Ganassi, part of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, had hoped to double up with drivers Jamie McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya. But 250 laps in, McMurray was a lap down and Montoya two behind after needing an extra pit stop to tighten a loose wheel.
