Called to the top Stanley takes over seat of assistant chief

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Growing up in Cleveland, city of Troy Fire Department assistant chief Gary Stanley saw his future pass by his childhood home every day.

“It was always something I wanted to do,” Stanley said. “I had a fire station around the corner from the house, so we

Sports artist dies at age 91 Painter and sketch artist LeRoy Neiman, best known for evoking the kinetic energy of the world’s biggest sporting and leisure events with bright quick strokes, died Wednesday at age 91.

Neiman was the official painter of five Olympiads and was a contributing artist at Playboy magazine for many years. His longtime publicist, Gail Parenteau, confirmed his death at a Manhattan hospital on Wednesday but didn’t disclose the cause.

Neiman was a media-savvy artist who knew how to enthrall audiences with his instant renditions of what he observed. In 1972, he sketched the world chess tournament between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer in Reykjavik, Iceland, for a live television audience.

Stanley was promoted from platoon commander to assistant chief last December after Dave Newnam’s retirement.

“Dave did so much it was unbelievable, so it’s been a learning curve,” Stanley said.

Supreme court sidesteps issue

L

Broadcasters anticipating a major constitutional ruling on the government’s authority to regulate what can be shown and said on the airwaves instead won only the smallest of Supreme Court victories Thursday.

The justices unanimously threw out fines and other penalties against Fox and ABC television stations that violated the Federal Communications Commission policy regulating curse words and nudity on television airwaves.Forgoing a broader constitutional ruling, however, the court concluded only that broadcasters could not have known in advance that obscenities uttered during awards show programs on Fox stations and a brief display of nudity on an episode of ABC’s “NYPD Blue” could give rise to penalties.

It wouldn’t be summer in downtown Troy without a performance by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.

Conducted by Robert Trevino, the orchestra will present “Sunny Days and Summer Nights” along with mezzo soprano Catherine Fishlock at 8 p.m. today on Prouty Plaza.

Selections for the concert, which is presented by the Troy Foundation and the city of Troy, include

TROY “Capriccio Espanol,” “Saturday Night Waltz” and “Over the Rainbow.” As usual, the closing song will be “Stars and Stripes.” Audience participation will be integrated into the evening as well.

For the second year, anyone who bikes to the concert will receive one free scoop of Culver’s custard. A booth will be set up on the square.

“My dad and I and our family enjoy biking as a daily activity,” said

Derek Potts, general manager of the family-owned restaurant. “We got involved with Bike-to-Work Day, and it then migrated into our own event.”

A bike corral will be set up on the square. More racks will be provided this year, after space ran out last year.

“We’re hope to get a couple hundred people, but a hundred would be fantastic too,” Potts said.

During intermission, the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce will present the Community Service

Awards, naming one individual and one organization with a $1,000 check. The individual chooses an organization to donate the award money, while the organization will receive the money for its program funding.

The concert will be moved to the Troy Christian High School auditorium, 700 S. Dorset Road, in the event of rain.

Donations for the concert can be made by sending a check payable to The Troy Foundation, 216 W. Franklin St., Troy OH 45373.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 Military sculpture is about the most important actions people have done,” Schmalz said, “They’re both very epic, very serious. The crossover is easy for me.”

Schmalz appreciates the gravity of military art.

In depicting the military man, he said, “There’s no tricky, modern, abstract thing. These people don’t have the time or patience for that. You honor real people with real sculpture.”

Schmalz is currently working on several veterans’ sculpture, including one for West Virginia. But why would a Canadian want to honor American veterans?

“Being out of the country gives me a different perspective on our ‘Big Brother to the South’”, Schmalz said. “An American soldier doesn’t fight for just his American family, but for his brothers and sisters in Canada and around the world. These guys, they go every day out there risking their lives.”

Schmalz compares his contribution to the Statue of Liberty, which was a gift to America from France.

“I want to give a bit of gratitude to the country that has liberated so many.

I want to give hands and feet to those soldiers,” he said.

The connection with Tipp City came when Schmalz’s agent, Tony Frey, found a mention of Tipp’s Veterans Memorial on the Internet. He contacted the Tippecanoe Masonic Lodge No. 174, and the secretary gave him Re’s number. Frey offered to send Re some samples of statues Schmalz could do.

While Re and the other committee members were impressed by the samples, they were nervous about the price; since that’s where the hold-up came before.

But while on the phone again with Frey, the next bombshell dropped.

“Tony told me ‘you weren’t listening – this guy

“If a picture’s worth a thousand words, a sculpture is worth 10,000 words.” — Tim Schmalz Tipp City’s statue will be different than the usually seen artwork of a military man or woman standing at attention in formal uniform. Schmalz’s statue, taken from the imagination and design of the Tipp Veterans Memorial Committee, will be of a modern GI from the Iraq-Afghanistan era in a battle dress uniform, the standard day-to-day camoflage worn by most GIs. The statue will be placed in the grassy area to the left of the gazebo. The soldier will be kneeling with a small girl sitting on his knee, pointing to the etched bricks of the memorial. The goal is to honor the generations of veterans, and acknowledge the family side of military men and women.

Schmalz will first create a clay rendition of the 6-foot statue in his Canadian “saint studio.” Then it goes to his studio in a village in China outside of Beijing where the whole village is made up pf mold makers and has been since the 1930s. Schmalz said he searched the world for these founders and they are “par excellance” (they’ve worked on statues two-thirds the size of the Statue of Liberty).

They then put plaster over the clay, which Schmalz describes as a “rubix cube” on top of his piece. Then the plaster is pieced off to be put back together again.

That’s made into another mold of cement. Wax is melted into a “chocolate Easter bunny” consistency, poured into the cement mold, then burned out. After the wax is burned out, molten bronze is poured in. Once again, the bronze is pieced apart to take out of the mold, then pieced together again for Schmalz’s final inspection. The whole process takes six to eight months. was inspired about the sculpture; he’s also inspired about the price,” Re said.

Other companies and sculptors had named prices between $80,000-100,000 for what the Tipp committee wanted. Schmalz was offering his art at $25,000.

“I near died — I thought he was kidding me,” Re recalled.

Other expenses include transportation and the foundation. Re said that someone has already donated the cement for the foundation, but the committee is still raising money for the statue itself, $765 to transport it and $450 for a 4-foot-by-4-foot piece of granite for the sculpture to rest on.

Community groups and businesses are already pitching in. Four Masons are paying for the shipment of the statue model (Schmalz makes a scaled one first to make sure everything is correct).

Piqua Granite volunteered its services to set the granite and statue at no charge.

The Tipp City Rotary Club donated $6,000. Thrivent Financial, through financial associate Matt Buehrer, is giving $1,000 (the company matched Buehrer’s $500 donation).

They’ve also promised to duplicate more donations from specific fundraisers.

Tipp Monroe Community Services is handling all the paperwork for donations, allowing the money given to be tax-deductible.

“You gotta thank them all,” Re said.

begin his 19 years of service to the city of Troy. Stanley said being part of the Troy Fire Department is much like a second family at the Race Street Fire Station No.1. “The guys are good guys,” Stanley said.

“They work really hard and they do a good job and we work well with other agencies.”

Stanley said three more members of his “second family” are expected to be added in the future to the city’s fire department.

Stanley said his job as assistant chief is made easier thanks to the brotherhood of his men.

“They are always working together and it’s a great feeling,” Stanley said.

Stanley said he loves his new position as assistant chief because he sees all three shifts of men throughout the week.

“We are working on new projects and on our efficien-

cy,” Stanley said. “The guys help a lot by coming up with ideas and thinking outside of the box in terms of new equipment and accountability.”

Stanley received his associate’s degree in fire science administration at Sinclair Community College.

He currently is taking classes for his bachelor’s degree in public administration through Ohio University — the same college his 18 year-old daughter Carolann will be attending this fall, majoring in music education and music performance.

“I told her that I could time it and we could walk together at graduation and she was actually excited about it,” he said.

Stanley, 46, lives in Troy with his wife Melissa. They have four daughters: Carolann, Catherine, Celia and Cynthia.

didn’t hesitate.

“He poked his head in the door and said ‘I’m a veteran. I’ll write a check for $100’,” Re said.

Local residents have also just handed cash or checks to Re. “They trust Ron; they know that Ron is a man of his word,” said Tara Dixon Engel, another member of the Veterans Memorial Committee.

“He has the biggest heart of anybody I’ve ever met. He inspires the rest of us,” she said.

The goal is for the statue to be unveiled in a special ceremony on Memorial Day 2013. Schmalz plans to attend the unveiling.

“I just can’t believe it to this day. Why does this guy want to do it for little Tipp City,” Re asked, concluding, “Why not accept it all and say ‘by the grace of God.’” If you would like to donate to the statue fund, visit Tipp City Community Services at 3 E. Main St. during business hours.

There also will be a fundraiser from 5-10 p.m.

June 27 at Harrison’s Restaurant, 106 E. Main St., Tipp City. Ten percent of food sales and the proceeds from a 50/50 raffle will be donated to support the bronze soldier statue.

Additionally, funds raised that evening will be matched by Bueher.

Bricks can still be purchased for the Veterans Memorial at the Government Center, 260 Garber Ave. City crews install the bricks prior to Veterans Day each year.

According to City Engineer Scott Vagedes, the city plans to establish a special fund for the brick purchases, and use that fund to replace plants, shrub and trees, maintenance on the open air structure, and any other upkeep in the Veterans Memorial Park.

Vagedes said that currently brick purchase money goes into the general operating fund, but is being tracked to date from the memorial brick purchases.

In New York, Times Square food vendor Bashir Saleh was feeling the heat.

“I’m exhausted,” said Saleh, who had already worked eight hours as the heat rose near his propanegas fueled coffee maker. But the heat is worth it, he said, noting he makes more money selling iced coffee and other cold drinks on hot days.

Sporting a visor with an American flag, Saleh, who fled war in his native Afghanistan, said that even when he’s sweating to earn a living, “I think, ‘God bless America. For a few days, I can sacrifice.’”

Summer projects under way at Bethel Local schools

By Joyell Nevins Ohio Community Media

BRANDT TOWNSHIP

Several summer projects are under way at Bethel Local Schools, totaling an estimated $80,000.

Projects include painting and wall repair in the auditorium, kitchen, high school library and junior high gym. Doors to the high school and elementary hallway will be repainted. The junior high gym and the high school gym floors will be refinished, and the high school library floor will get new carpet. The high school gym is getting pressure washed as well.

On the exterior of the building, the north high school sidewalks are being repaired and replaced. On the east and south side of the school, the exterior window supports are being replaced and the brick tuckpointing is being repaired.

An exhaust unit will be installed and

hooked up on the third floor of the elementary.

Technology has not been overlooked in the list of summer projects. Brett Brookhart’s computer lab, the high school library lab, and the elementary library computer lab will each be getting a wiring update. Each lab will also receive new computer tables.

These projects range in individual estimated cost from $600 to 22,911. They should be finished in time for the next school year.

“Let’s hope – that’s our plan (to have everything done by Aug. 20),” superintendent Larry Smith said, adding that everything is currently on schedule.

“It’s moving along pretty well,” he said.

“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.”

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Los Angeles Times on the Los Angeles Kings: In a town better known for beaches and basketball courts than ice rinks, suddenly a hockey team has captivated all.

Four and a half decades after arriving in Los Angeles as an expansion team and having to scramble to find a puck for their first practice, the Kings have won the National Hockey League championship and adorned the land of golden Oscar statuettes with a silver trophy — the Stanley Cup. For most people, the Kings have been the team that’s just also in town.

To be sure, it has earned steadfast fans cheering and screaming in bars down in the South Bay, where team members hang out, and it has had dazzling players — Wayne Gretzky and Luc Robitaille, to name two — but the team has never won that big honking cup and achieved folk-hero status.

But all that started to change with the Kings’ astonishing winning streak since the early spring, besting three top-seeded teams and making it to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 19 years.

Yet, the world’s powers seem helpless to work together to stop the violence.

It is frustrating to stand by while thousands of innocent civilians are being massacred just a few hundred kilometers to our north.

And this frustration is compacted by the knowledge that — in this case at least — our political autonomy does not help us to reach out to the embattled Syrian people.

In some respects, Syrian animosity toward Zionism actually transforms the Jewish people’s statehood into an obstacle — not a vehicle — to extending humanitarian aid.

But even the international community’s ability to stop the bloodshed in Syria is limited.

The Syrian opposition is a patchwork of diverse groups. Some are democrats and nationalists. But others are Islamists, including groups connected to al-Qaida. Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood are providing aid to these Islamist elements.

Meanwhile, Iran and Russia are providing Assad’s regime with weapons and support.

There are no easy solutions in Syria. But doing nothing at all is not an option.

DOONESBURY

Holy moly! It’s time for vacation Bible school It’s the time of year when the sanctuary transforms from a place of worship to another land. The pulpit makes way for tiki torches and palm trees.

Vacation Bible school rules.

Churches around the nation break free from the solemn hymns to play upbeat pop rock tunes of Bible songs, which always seem to include a new, jazzier way to spell the B-I-B-L-E. It’s the one time of the year you see your pastor in shorts inside the church.

With this year’s tropical theme, gone is the suit and tie and in its place: khaki shorts and a Hawaiian shirt.

This week Pastor Ed donned a straw fedora and instantly he was transformed into Pastor Panama Jack.

It’s where the little ones beg to ring the church bell and the unlucky ones walk past and are tempted to pull the large, inviting rope to sound noise throughout the neighborhood.

It’s where the clinkityclank of quarters and dimes rattle in a child’s hand before they are ceremoniously dumped into the wooden bowls of the offering plates.

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist It’s vacation Bible school time!

This week, I transported my son and his friends to our little country church for a week filled with Bible stories depicted on classic felt boards, which were used in my days of VBS. Our organist Phyllis traveled from the left side of the church to the right to play the piano for Vacation Bible School music time. Even my son Evan noticed this change.

My mother plays the piano each Sunday for our church.

She’s been the pianist for as long as I have been born. So Evan remarked his grandmother, inquiring why she wasn’t the one behind the keys.

“Grandma? Why aren’t you at church at Bible school?

— Jerry Gardner Troy

Someone took your job!” Evan told her the other night.

Grandma explained that she had to work and that our dear Phyllis was only filling in for the week.

On Monday morning on our way to get Evan’s friends to bring with us to Bible school, it dawned on Evan that he had been a Bible school veteran.

“Oh yeah! I remember Bible school. We learned about The Father, The Son and the Holy Goat!” he said without a blink of an eye.

Close Evan. Real close.

Have you ever tried to explain to an 8 year-old boy how the Holy Trinity really works? I’ll fully admit that I’m the wrong person to set anyone straight on religious matters. Let alone trying to explain to a child how the divine Holy Spirit differs from a barn yard animal without my liberal arts degree getting in the way.

There are always clues that Bible school is around the bend. The sales of Hydrox cookies soar during this time of year. Kool-Aid and offbrand cookies will take the place of communion wafers and grape juice.

Empty milk jugs and cartons are hoarded for months to fill with colored sand and clay models.

Let’s not forget finger paint. Bible school just isn’t Bible school until the newspaper covers picnic tables in defense of wayward preschoolers grinding in the paint on 9 by 11 paper.

Speaking of the Bible School mess, be sure to thank your volunteers who will more than likely encounter scores of hardened glue chunks.

For months, glitter will be ground into the carpet and safety scissors work furiously to free Lazarus from his tomb to be plastered to the colorful construction paper, which was purchased in bulk to satisfy this week’s demand.

Washable markers? Only a miracle of Biblical proportions can get those colorful mistakes off the tables!

So, to all my fellow vacation Bible school teachers and volunteers here in Miami County: Thank you and goatbless!

“Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. Pray for her.

In this Aug. 31, 2007, file photo, artist LeRoy Neiman poses in his studio in New York.

Neiman, who is best known for his colorful and energetic paintings of sporting events, died Wednesday in New York. He was 91.

Sports world artist LeRoy Neiman dies in N.Y. at 91 Was the official painter of five Olympiads NEW YORK (AP) — Painter and sketch artist LeRoy Neiman, best known for evoking the kinetic energy of the world’s biggest sporting and leisure events with bright quick strokes, died Wednesday at age 91.

Neiman was the official painter of five Olympiads and was a contributing artist at Playboy magazine for many years. His longtime publicist, Gail Parenteau, confirmed his death at a Manhattan hospital on Wednesday but didn’t disclose the cause.

Neiman was a mediasavvy artist who knew how to enthrall audiences with his instant renditions of what he observed. In 1972, he sketched the world chess tournament between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer in Reykjavik, Iceland, for a live television audience. He also produced live drawings of the Olympics for TV and was the official computer artist of the Super Bowl for CBS. Neiman’s “reportage of history and the passing scene … revived an almost lost and time-honored art form,” according to a 1972 exhibit catalog of his Olympics sketches at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. “It’s been fun. I’ve had a lucky life,” Neiman said in a June 2008 interview with The Associated Press. “I’ve zeroed in on what you would call action and excellence. …

Everybody who does anything to try to succeed has to give the best of themselves, and art has made me pull the best out of myself.”

Neiman’s paintings, many executed in household enamel paints that allowed him his fast-moving strokes, are an explosion in reds, blues, pinks, greens and yel-

lows of pure kinetic energy.

He has been described as an American impressionist, but the St. Paul, Minn., native preferred to think of himself simply as an American artist.

“I don’t know if I’m an impressionist or an expressionist,” he told the AP. “You can call me an American first. … (but) I’ve been labeled doing neimanism, so that’s what it is, I guess.”

He worked in many media, producing thousands of etchings, lithographs and silkscreen prints known as serigraphy.

But Neiman’s critics said his forays into the commercial world minimized him as a serious artist. At Playboy, for example, he created Femlin, the well-endowed nude that has graced the magazine’s Party Jokes page since 1957.

Neiman shrugged off such criticism.

“I can easily ignore my detractors and feel the people who respond favorably,” he said.

Neiman was fascinated with large game animals and said he twice traveled to Kenya to paint lions and elephants “in the bush” in his trademark vibrant palette.

But it was the essence of a basketball or football game, swim meet or cycling event that captured his imagination most.

“For an artist, watching a (Joe) Namath throw a football or a Willie Mays hit a baseball is an experience far more overpowering than painting a beautiful woman or leading political figure,” Neiman said in 1972.

With his sketchbook and pencil, trademark handlebar mustache and slicked back hair, Neiman was instantly recognizable.

At a New York Jets game at Shea Stadium in 1975, fans yelled, “Put LeRoy in,” when the play wasn’t going their way.

Neiman’s decades-long association with Playboy began in 1953 following a chance meeting with Hugh Hefner. It was the start of what he called “the good life” and inspiration for much of his future work.

He regularly contributed to the magazine’s “Man at His Leisure” feature, which took him to such places as the Grand National Steeplechase and Ascot in England, the Cannes Film Festival in France and the Grand Prix auto race in Monaco.

Hefner said “R.I.P.” to his “long time friend” in a tweet Wednesday night.

Neiman was a World War II veteran who participated in the invasion of Normandy and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He was a selfdescribed workaholic who seldom took vacations and had no hobbies. He worked daily in his home studio at the Hotel des Artistes near Central Park, which he shared with his wife.

“What else am I good for?” he said in 2008. “I don’t think about anything else.”

His works are in the permanent collections of many private and public museums. The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., was selected by Neiman to house his archives.

“I just love what I do,” Neiman told the AP. “I love the passion you go through while you’re creating” and the public’s “very thoughtful and careful studied and emotional reaction of what you’re doing.”

He added: “It’s a wonderful feeling.”

Neiman is survived by his wife of 55 years, Janet Byrne Neiman.

Supreme Court sidesteps broad issue of broadcast indecency Throws out FCC fines for nudity, cursing ing curse words and nudity on television airwaves.

Forgoing a broader constitutional ruling, however, the court concluded only that broadcasters could not have known in advance that obscenities uttered during awards show programs on Fox stations and a brief display of nudity on an episode of ABC’s “NYPD Blue” could give rise to penalties. ABC and 45 affiliates had been hit with proposed fines totaling nearly $1.24 million.

Broadcasters had argued that the revolution in technology that has brought the Internet, satellite television and cable has made the rules themselves obsolete. The regulations apply only to broadcast channels.

The justices said the FCC is free to revise its indecency policy, which is intended to keep the airwaves free of objectionable material during the hours when children are likely to be watching.

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes said Thelma Lundergan McHugh died Thursday at her home in Jessamine County. She was 92.

McHugh worked for the Mason County sheriff’s department for more than two decades before her retirement.

“My grandmother instilled in me the confidence that I could accomplish anything I put my mind to and taught me by example the importance of being involved in my community,” Grimes said in a news release. Grimes also said McHugh “stood by my side from the moment I filed to run for public office through my swearing-in and first six months as secretary of state. I would not be where I am today without her love, influence and support.”

Grimes said McHugh taught her the importance of community service.

“

My grandmother instilled in me the confidence that I could accomplish anything I put my mind to and taught me by example the importance of being involved in my community.

— Alison Lundergan Grimes

”

McHugh burst onto the scene in Kentucky last year with her appearance in the comical TV ad promoting Grimes for secretary of state. She starred alongside Grimes’ maternal grandmother, Elsie Case, in the spot where they claimed to be writing Grimes’ TV ads.

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Don’t blame the waitress for husband’s flirtation

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6:30 p.m.: Talking Pictures 7:30 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our 60s and have been married for 28 years. We recently retired. My husband and I both enjoy stopping at neighborhood bars for a drink before dinner, but I've noticed that he indulges quite a lot and often starts at lunchtime. The problem is, after he has had a few glasses of wine, he begins to get a little forward with the female servers.

He kisses the hand of the waitress, which I believe is his way of showing appreciation.

I support his empathy for the hard work these young women do. However, in the latest episode, he grabbed a waitress's hand and held it for what seemed to be an unnecessarily long time. I thought the waitress should have withdrawn her hand, and I asked her what she was still doing there. I did not make a big fuss, but she withdrew her hand and left, visibly upset.

I realize that I was rude, but it seemed like my husband was unaware of the consequences of his actions. Since then, I have avoided going back to that bar, but I don't know a permanent solution to this kind of embarrassment.

Should I avoid going to a bar after my husband has had one too many? That means we cannot stay at a bar longer than 45 minutes, because he drinks quickly. He gets grumpy if I try to leave too soon, because he always thinks he is fine. It also means I have to cut short my own enjoyment.

We have been lucky that we've avoided any incidents with law enforcement personnel. I need your counsel. — Uncertain and Afraid Dear Uncertain: Please don't blame the waitresses for your husband's inappropriate behavior. He is drinking too much to control his flirting and keep it within acceptable bounds. If he starts at lunch, it sounds as if he is developing a serious drinking problem. Don't be naive about it.

Contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) for more information.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 30 years. My son (his stepson) is in his 40s and is married with two young sons.

The problem is, my husband refuses to treat the grandchildren as his own. It is awkward when I spend time with them and my husband stays home.

But it also makes my son feel terrible, and it breaks my heart.

I've tried everything to get my husband to feel differently, but he won't budge. It's starting to affect our marriage, as we spend less time together with the family.

I love my husband, but I'm not going to sacrifice my relationship with my son and his family.

Any advice? — Sad Mom Dear Sad: We assume your husband helped raise your son.

We are amazed and disappointed that he doesn't feel close enough to him to treat the grandchildren with more affection. Has your husband always been distant from your son? If it's a relatively new reaction, suggest that he get a thorough physical from his doctor. Behavioral changes can indicate medical problems.

Otherwise, spend as much time with your son and his family as you wish. Do not make excuses for your husband. He is what he is, take it or leave it.

Dear Annie: This is in response to "No Good Solution for this Arithmetic Problem," who asked how to divide the costs for a vacation rental between three families of differing sizes coming from different locations.

I would divide half of the cost in thirds, and the other half would be divided according to the number attending. This is both a compromise and a reflection of the fact that part of the costs are per family and some of the costs are per person. — Simi Valley, Calif.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Some ideas about avoiding spotted towels Dear Readers: In a recent column, a reader named Sylvia wrote about a problem she was having with her bath towels looking as if someone had spilled bleach on them. Well, you had a lot to say on the issue. Here are just a few comments: 1. “I found out that the culprit for my towel spotting was the new whitening toothpastes people are buying to whiten their teeth,” said Sally, via email.

2. “As a mother of three daughters, I believe at least one of the causes is any medication or face wash that contains benzoyl peroxide. It doesn’t show up until after the wash,” said Jean,

Hints from Heloise Columnist via email.

3. “Same thing happened to me with two sets. Turned out to be my wrinkle cream that I use at night,” said Jane, via email.

4. “I’ve had the same problem as Sylvia. I discovered that after washing whites with bleach, you always should rinse inside the tub while filling for the next

load. The next load should be light colors or delicates that aren’t affected by bleach,” said Helen from Nebraska.

Absolutely yes to Nos. 1 and 2, maybe to No. 3, depending on the ingredients, and possibly to No. 4. — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: A hint for runners who travel: I save the cardboard from folded dress shirts that I get from the dry cleaners. I put it under my running shoes when I put them back in my luggage. It keeps the dirt out of your luggage, and you can recycle the cardboard when you return home. — Roger B. in Houston

Also, you can use the plastic dry-cleaning bag that usually is hanging in the hotel closet. I use it for shoes, soiled clothes and even to hold fresh flowers I may bring home from a trip. — Heloise CAMERA COVERAGE Dear Heloise: I found an easy way to ID my camera without giving out too much personal information.

The very first picture is of my business card, with my name and phone number clearly showing.

If it gets lost and someone checks the photos, my contact information is right there. — David in Florida

HOROSCOPE Friday, June 22, 2012 It’s extremely likely that you will be developing some social interests in the year ahead that will increase your circle of friends and acquaintances considerably. Although most of these new contacts will be very nice, several will turn out to be very special.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You could be surprisingly lucky in your financial or material affairs. If you want to cash in, don’t postpone any financial negotiations until another time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Without being self-serving, you should be able to advance your interests by focusing your efforts on endeavors of prominence. Take on something big.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Surprisingly, your intuitive perception could be one of your greatest assets. If you get any strong, persistent hunches, it behooves you to play them whenever you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’ll be much happier and more comfortable around people whose likes and dislikes parallel yours. If at all possible, stay away from those who think differently from you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t do anything foolish, but if you must take some kind of calculated risk in order to improve your lot in life, it behooves you to do so. Give it a try when you get positive signals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you’ve been a bit sedentary lately, try to include some form of physical exercise or activity in your life, such as taking a brisk walk with a pal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Something beyond your control that you’ve been wishing would change might undergo a transformation all on its own. Fortunately, you’ll like what transpires.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You shouldn’t have to be told that all agreements or contracts you sign must be able to stand the test of time.

Make sure the terms benefit all parties involved, and you’ll come out ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Fortunately, it looks like success is indicated in most of your endeavors or involvements right now. Happily, the wins that could be the most productive pertain to your security and earnings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Pattern an endeavor in which you’re presently involved on something you did in the past that proved to be successful. If it worked well once before, it’s likely to do so again.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — This could be a good day to tackle several projects that you’re trying to complete. The reason: You’ll find a way to tackle them all at the same time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you’ve been considering getting involved in a new enterprise or project, it might be now or never. Postponing it any further is likely to cause you to completely discard the idea.

AP MOVIE REVIEWS BRAVE: Pixar is long overdue for a feature with a strong female character at its center. Now that she’s arrived, it’s clear that she deserves better. “Brave” is beautiful to look at, as you would expect given the technical and artistic standard the animation behemoth has set. Set in the wilds of Scotland, this 13th Pixar feature is full of lush, green forests and dramatic, rolling hills, all of which look even more idyllic bathed in a delicate, mystical sunlight. Our heroine, the feisty and free-spirited Princess Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald), has a finely detailed mane of long, red curls that look so bouncy and soft, they’ll make you want to roll around in them, then maybe take a little nap. And the story begins promisingly enough, with our heroine — an avid archer — leaping on her valiant steed and taking a thunderous ride through the countryside, expertly hitting her targets without missing a beat. She’s obviously a character with a mind of her own, one who has no apprehension about breaking the rules — which is why it’s such a shame that the film itself feels so old-fashioned and safe. The script, credited to co-directors Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman as well as Steve Purcell and Irene Mecchi, revisits some familiar Disney character types and themes: a princess in a long-ago kingdom who pays an ill-fated visit to a witch, a spell that changes everything and needs to be broken, and the misunderstandings and danger that ensue. “Brave” begins thrillingly but turns rather silly and slapsticky, as if it were aimed mainly at the little kids in the audience rather than the whole family. But the voice cast is strong, including Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson as Merida’s parents, the king and queen. PG for some scary action and rude humor. 93 minutes. Two stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic.

SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD: Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, together as a couple who’ve fallen suddenly and madly in love?

Surely the apocalypse is nigh. It’s coming in three weeks, to be exact, in the feature directing debut from screenwriter Lorene Scafaria (“Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist”). An asteroid 70 miles (213 kilometers) wide is hurtling toward Earth, ensuring destruction and doom for the entire planet. Scafaria explores how people behave when the rules of polite society are stripped away, a premise that isn’t exactly novel — the world ended just last year, much more artfully, in Lars Von Trier’s “Melancholia” — but one that’s brimming with potential for absurdist, satirical comedy. Within that setting, Carell and Knightley get thrown together. The pairing doesn’t make a whole lot of sense on paper — in the real world or on the big screen — but for the most part they have enough unexpected, opposites-attract likability and find themselves in enough strangely amusing situations to make the movie work. The mawkish third act, however, nearly destroys all that appeal.

Carell’s character is very much in the vein of the detached and depressed but wryly observant figures he’s played before: He’s an insurance agent whose wife takes off when news of the asteroid breaks. Knightley is his downstairs neighbor in the apartment building, a free-spirited, pot-smoking Brit with a penchant for classic vinyl records. Naturally, these two people need to go on a road trip. R for language including some sexual references, some drug use and brief violence. 101 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

Local director releases documentary

BY JAMES TRZECIAK Record Herald Writer Writer/director Diana Spitler’s first documentary, “World War II on an LST,” was a declaration of her passion for World War II. It’s a one-hour documentary told using diaries, military records, letters, photos and interviews. What’s an LST? Although some called it Large Slow Targets, it actually stands for Landing Ship Tanks. They were created to support amphibious operations and used in World War II to transport troops, tanks, and other equipment directly onto the shore.

Spitler has been working on World War II stories since 2005. It all started when she met Tom Dorris, a veteran in Greenville, whose stories piqued her interest. He was a member of the 1st Engineer Special Brigade.

While Spitler was working in Greenville, Dorris had come to her office with a zoning issue.

“I was inspired that this man who did spectacular things in the war was an ordinary citizen living amongst us,” Spitler said.

She originally planned to just do an interview with Dorris, but when she realized he and her Uncle Marion Adams had both been on Utah Beach, Normandy in 1944, she knew she had to do something more.

Concert on the lawn for King & Country performs for hundreds of spectators at this years’ Concert on the Lawn at Ginghamsburgh church.

OCM PHOTO/JOYELL NEVINS.

Unfortunately, due to the health of Dorris and other extenuating circumstances, the two never got together for an interview. Dorris eventually moved to Circleville, where he lives today. Spitler decided to go full steam ahead with her Uncle Marion and produced the LST documentary.

When the Adams family of rural Miami County saw the documentary, they were delighted and offered Spitler 600 letters that inspired her to start work on “Write When You Can.” Her research started in 2008 and the filming, which began in 2011, continues to this day.

It’s a documentary with reenactments focusing on her three uncles, Dale, Marion and Melvin Adams, and their experiences in the war. Spitler actually had five uncles who served in World War II, but the other two entered the service near the end of the war, so there isn’t much of them in the documentary. She began filming the reenactments this year.

The third installment occurred in Versailles last week. Spitler explained she wanted to recreate how an event may have happened in August 1944 when a Miami County native, Emerson Branson, rejoined the Allies after he had been protected by the French underground.

“Emerson was an Air Force navigator,” Spitler said, “and his bomber went

MIAMI COUNTY down after being hit by flak during a bombing raid on railroad yards at Versailles, France a few days before Dday. He was kept hidden from the Germans until Paris was liberated two months later.”

“We know of the events from letters that Emerson had smuggled out through a French lady who befriended him while he was being hidden,” she continued.

While the city of Versailles celebrated Poultry Days, a war was raging just blocks away. Set up on a corner parking lot, Spitler used a mural of a French streetscape painted on an adjacent building as a backdrop for the filming.

Complete with tanks, army transports and a medical truck, Spitler said the filming went well.

In the documentary, the re-enactor portraying Emerson is Linc Branson, his grandson.

Doug Drieling, Spitler’s brother, was behind the camera and has been working on both of these projects with her.

He lives near Ludlow Falls and is employed at Dapp in Tipp City. Drieling helps with the script, scene creations, filming, and props.

Also in the film is Harry Busse of West Milton, playing an American soldier.

Spitler’s niece, Caileigh Spitler of West Milton, is also in the film and will be playing the part of the French woman who helps Emerson. Portraying a Paris citizen is Berni Crumb of Union. Her husband, Steve, is actually with the 101st Airborne re-enactors.

After the filming, Spitler said, “I am compelled to tell this story of life during World War II through the very words of those who lived it. As citizens of this free country, we must remember and appreciate the sacrifices all veterans make for us - whether they served during World War II, in Vietnam, or in today’s conflicts.” Spitler is grateful for all the help she has received, and invites the public to join her on this project.

“My vision is becoming reality because of volunteer help from my family, friends and local communities. It is our privilege to be working towards this remembrance and preserving this small piece of American history. I welcome any assistance the public might offer — whether it be a military looking location, private film/photos, or volunteers.”

Contact Diana Spitler by email at rdfarms@embarqmail.com or by phone at (574) 850-9825. She hopes to have “Write When You Can” completed in time for the 70th anniversary of D-Day in 2014.

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

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

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

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

BCS changes: the winners and losers CHICAGO (AP) — College football is headed toward a new era, with a four-team playoff deciding the champion starting in 2014. As the conference commissioners have said over and over during the six months it has taken for them to come up with a playoff plan to present to university presidents for approval, “The devil is in the details.”

Let’s explore some of those details.

• Why Now? For years, the Big Ten and then-Pac-10 were adamantly against a playoff. What changed?

Well, the Pac-10 and its commissioner for starters. Larry Scott has pushed the league to be more progressive and its members have reaped millions of dollars in rewards because of his bold moves. With Scott at the helm, the Pac-12 became less of an obstacle to progress.

“From our conference’s perspective, historically we’ve been very conservative, protective of the status quo, but we’ve had a complete cultural transformation,” Scott said Thursday.

In the Big Ten, as much as Commissioner Jim Delany has

been against a playoff, he realized the BCS just wasn’t worth fighting so hard for anymore.

“No system can stand that much criticism and be sustainable,” he said Thursday.

Once he realized change was inevitable, he made sure to play a major role in shaping it.

“I don’t think there is any question we didn’t lead the parade, but we tried to be a part of it,” Delany said.

With budgets being slashed at universities all over the country, the people in charge could no longer justify leaving so much behind. Just in television rights alone, a playoff stands to bring in at least $300 million a year. The current BCS and Rose Bowl

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky was either a “predatory pedophile” who lured young boys to Penn State with gifts and access to big-time football, or a victim of now-grown men who lied to get a payout, attorneys argued Thursday as the former coach’s child sex abuse case went to a jury.

As jurors deliberated into the evening, one of Sandusky’s adopted sons came forward for the first time to say that his father had abused him. Matt Sandusky, 33, was prepared to testify for prosecutors at the trial, his attorneys said in a statement. The statement didn’t specify what the alleged abuse was.

The elder Sandusky, who faces life in prison if convicted of 48 counts of abuse of 10 boys over 15 years, was smiling and chuckling to himself as prosecutors wrapped up closing arguments. His wife, Dottie, leaned forward in her seat with a concerned look, resting her chin in her hands.

The former assistant football coach was arrested last November in a scandal that led to the firing of beloved head coach Joe Paterno, who died of cancer in January, and the departure of the university’s president.

Over in a flash After loss, Kent State believes they’ll return to CWS OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Kent State’s first appearance in the College World Series is over.

The Golden Flashes don’t think it will be their last.

South Carolina’s Michael Roth pitched a two-hitter on Thursday, retiring the last 22 batters he faced in a 4-1 victory over the Flashes.

Kent State finished with 23 wins in 26 games after going 12 at the CWS. “I believe it will just motivate us to get back here and just push us, make us better ballplayers,” first baseman George Roberts said. “That’s all you can ask for.”

The Flashes (47-20) thought

they missed their best chance to reach the CWS last year when they lost to Texas in regionals with a roster full of draft picks.

Although he looks a bit like Hugh Hefner minus any playmates as he walks to his locker,

Damon exudes an unmistakable aura, one that demands respect and attention.

“He’s just a leader,” Indians outfielder Michael Brantley said.

In less than two months, Damon, who signed with Cleveland in April, has established himself as one of the team’s point men.

NHL Draft marks return of the Russians PITTSBURGH (AP) — The question comes up often in Nail Yakupov’s meetings with NHL scouts and general managers. And even though the 18-year-old Russian is still learning English, he can’t help but tense up the second he hears the letters “KHL.” The player projected to be the likely No. 1 pick when the NHL Draft gets underway in Pittsburgh on Friday understands why he’s continually asked how committed he is to playing in North America.

“In the draft they don’t want to wonder if some player is going to KHL,” Yakupov said. “They just want to (us to) play in NHL and work hard.”

Yakupov is growing tired of repeating himself, but skepticism is part of the ter-

ritory now that the once fertile pipeline between Russia and the NHL has started to dry up. The bigtime paydays not to mention shorter schedule of the Kontinental Hockey League has many Russian stars opting to stay home rather than lace up their skates halfway around the world.

All Yakupov can do is shrug his shoulders and stress again and again that he prefers the Stanley Cup to Gagarin Cup, the one awarded to KHL champions.

“I say just what I feel inside and I say I want to play in the NHL,” Yakupov said. “It’s not my deal what teams think, if they don’t trust me or not. I want to play in NHL.” So do two other players with Russian ties counted among the top forwards

available, Alex Galchenyuk and Mikhail Grigorenko. All three pose high-risk, highreward scenarios. If clubs get skittish, defenseman Ryan Murray from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada could rise all the way to the top spt.

The Edmonton Oilers have the No. 1 pick for the third straight year and while general manager Steve Tambellini says he’s “comfortable” holding onto it, he’s not ruling out shipping the selection elsewhere if another team provides a package that would give the struggling franchise an immediate lift.

Though the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Yakupov insists he’s ready to play now after lighting up the Ontario Hockey League the last two years, some teams remain

concerned if Yakupov and other high-profile players with Russian ties will bother playing in the NHL at all.

The KHL, started in 2008 as an offshoot of the former Russian Super League, can offer a lot of money.

“There’s so much money in the KHL right now, it’s very easy for those guys to say, ‘I’ll take my $5 million and go play in Russia for two or three years and then I’ll come back,’” Buffalo Sabres director of amateur scouting Kevin Devine said. “Well, it never becomes that easy.”

The prospect of entering a bidding war with the KHL has led to a steep drop in the number of Russian players selected in recent drafts.

There were 18 Russians taken in the 2004 Draft, including top overall pick Alexander Ovechkin and No.

2 pick Evgeni Malkin, who won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s MVP on Thursday night.

There have been 16 Russians selected in the last two drafts combined. The Boston Bruins were fresh off a Stanley Cup win last summer when they grabbed winger Alexander Khokhlachev in the second round. Even the prospect of joining an elite team couldn’t stop Khokhlachev bolting for the KHL. Sometimes, even when they do agree to play in the western hemisphere, there are no guarantees.

The Nashville Predators took a flier on Alexander Radulov in the 2004 Draft and eventually signed him to a contract. Radulov played two seasons with the Predators before signing a

lucrative deal with the KHL’s Salavat Yulaev Ufa. The mercurial Radulov eventually returned to Nashville this spring, where he played sometimes uninspired hockey.

The Predators decided not to extend Radulov’s contract. Though he could be one of the most high-profile players on a somewhat underwhelming free agent market, Radulov appears set to head back to the KHL. To help entice the best players to stick around, the income tax rates for top Russian players is decidedly lower 13 percent than what they would face in the U.S. or Canada.

Throw in the NHL salary cap and the rookie wage scale which does not exist in the KHL and it’s no wonder Devine called selecting a Russian “risky.”

Mathis leads Travelers

CWS

Hole-in-one has golfer on top of standings CROMWELL, Conn.

(AP) — David Mathis had a hole-in-one and shot a 6under 64 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Travelers Championship.

The 38-year-old Mathis, who missed the cut last week in the U.S. Open, began play on the back nine, making a birdie on 10 before holing out from 158 yards shot on the par-3 11th hole. He was 6 under after six holes.

Nathan Green, Will Claxton and defending champion Fredrik Jacobson shot 65 on a day that saw temperatures soar into the upper 90s.

U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson and Masters winner Bubba Watson played together and finished in a group of 10 at 66. The third member of the threesome, PGA champion Keegan Bradley, shot a 68.

“We were relaxed all day,” Simpson said. “Bubba is my Presidents Cup partner. We always laugh together. And I’ve played a lot of golf with Keegan this year. He’s a good friend. We had a lot of fun feeding off each other, and luckily, we all played well.”

Mathis’ ace was the shot of the day. He said he was just trying to cut a 9-iron close to the pin and it hit exactly where he aimed, bounced right and into the hole.

“It was an awesome start,” he said. “I was hitting a lot of great shots (later), and I guess it felt like a lull compared to how I started.”

Green teed off at 6:50 a.m., well before heat and humidity set in, setting the early mark with a 65.

Claxton opened his round with a birdie and an eagle, but finished with a bogey on 18.

“To start out birdieeagle, that’s huge,” Claxton said. “I obviously had the driver going. I drove the ball well today. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it

David Mathis watches his drive on the first hole during the first round of the Travelers Championship golf tournament Thursday in Cromwell, Conn. might be.”

Jacobson, who picked up his only PGA Tour win at the event a year ago, spent much of the day atop the leaderboard before a double bogey on 16 dropped him to 5 under and into a three-way tie for second.

“I knew it was going to be challenging in this heat, and if you start to miss a few shots, it can get to you,” he said. “So I was just happy to get through this day.”

One of Jacobson’s playing partners, former Masters champion Zach Johnson, also had a tough finish. He was 3 under when he hit a drive over the green at 15. He made a 6 there and a seven on the par-4 17th, where he tried

to putt from the fringe, and needed three more after making it to the green.

A gallery of fans five and six deep greeted Simpson, Watson and Bradley on the first tee, and many followed them throughout what all three said was a relaxed round.

“Any time you can play with those guys, it’s fun,” Watson said. “We learn from each other. We watch each other. We’re making some jokes out there. We were having a good time. It was good.”

But it wasn’t fun for everybody. Former UCLA star Patrick Cantlay made his professional debut with a 75 on the same course where he made headlines last year with a second-

round 60 as a 19-year-old amateur.

“I started off poorly with a couple of doubles and couple weird things happened, and it just added up to a bad round,” Cantlay said.

• LPGA WATERLOO, Ontario — Sandra Changkija birdied six of her final eight holes for a career-best 8-under 63 and a three-stroke lead Thursday during the suspended first round of the inaugural Manulife Financial LPGA Classic.

Play was suspended at 4:20 p.m. because of the threat of lightning in the area, and called off for the rest of the day at 6:30 p.m.

Seventy-two players were unable to finish the round.

ent. SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, whose teams have won the last six BCS titles, has been pushing for a playoff since 2008. It took a little longer than he would have liked, but he got his way.

• Losers As much as the BCS seemed stacked against the so-called little guys those teams from conferences outside the six founding member leagues a playoff-driven postseason could widen the gap between the haves and havenots. While a playoff will increase the amount of revenue the postseason generates, those funds might be distributed more unevenly.

Leagues such as the

Mountain West, Conference USA and the Sun Belt will make more money in total, but could get a smaller percentage of the pie. And if schedule strength is going to be emphasized for picking the playoff participants, how do those teams fortify their schedules to match what the teams from power leagues already have built-in?

• Not So Big East There have been six major conferences. The Big East, after being plundered by expansion, is on the verge of being demoted to second-tier status. How much less it gets in revenue from the playoff than the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, Pac-12 and ACC will be something to watch closely.

• A Few Good Men So who will be on this committee given the task of picking the best four teams in the country?

The commissioners aren’t sure yet, though it will probably be similar to the basketball selection committee, which is comprised of commissioners and athletic directors. Of course, it is one thing to hand out 34 at-large bids to a basketball tournament and quite another to determine which 12-1 football team to leave out of a playoff.

“I think you need a thick skin and an honest heart” to be on the committee, Delany said.

A secret bunker to hide out might help, too.

BCS ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 deals are worth about $155 million annually. Cha-ching!

• Bowls The bowl system will never be the same. The BCS championship game had already made the high-profile bowls less relevant. Now take the four best teams out of the bowls and put them in semifinals and a bowl bid will feel like even more of a consolation prize. Think of it this way: The LOSER of the Big Ten championship game is more likely to play in the Rose Bowl than the winner.

• Winners If it’s college football, the Southeastern Conference must be winning. The playoff negotiations were no differ-

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 defending national champion Gamecocks came in a game that had been postponed by rain Wednesday.

The Gamecocks (47-18) play again Thursday night against Arkansas. They need two wins over the Razorbacks to advance to the championship round that starts Sunday.

Grayson Greiner and Chase Vergason hit consecutive RBI singles in the second inning to erase Kent State’s 1-0 lead. LB Dantzler homered in the third against Skulina.

Roth (9-1) struck out eight and walked none. He was perfect after giving up Sawyer Polen’s RBI single in the second inning.

“He is the biggest superstar our game has,” Stricklin said. “He throws 85 mph. He just knows how to pitch. He does everything the right way. Great student. I’ve got a ton of respect for him. I’ve enjoyed watching him on TV. I did not enjoy watching him today.”

Roth became the first CWS pitcher to throw a complete game with two hits or fewer since June 6, 1993, when Mike Fontana of Long Beach State threw a two-hitter against Kansas.

Roth also became the CWS’ all-time leader in innings pitched, with 53 23 over three years, and tied a CWS career record for starts with his seventh.

The second was the only inning in which Roth allowed a baserunner. After Polen’s single, he got Nick Hamilton to hit into a double play.

The game lasted just 2 hours, 7 minutes, making it the shortest at the CWS since 2003 when Rice and Missouri State played in 2:02.

Kent State had entered the game having won each of Skulina’s last 12 starts.

Skulina (11-3) left with two out in the sixth after allowing four runs on six hits and four walks. He struck

out nine.

Roth earned his second win of the CWS. He pitched 6 1-3 innings in a 7-3 victory over Florida on Saturday. In 11 career NCAA tournament starts, Roth is 8-0, pitching at least five innings each time and never allowing more than three earned runs.

Kent State shut down South Carolina’s offense after Dantzler hit his 10th homer of the year in the third. Skulina, Casey Wilson and Brian Clark held the Gamecocks to one hit the rest of the way.

South Carolina will become the first team since Georgia in 1987 to play all or part of two games in the same day at the CWS. The last team to play two full games on the same day was Michigan, on June 2, 1980.

Arizona 10, Florida State 3 OMAHA, Neb. — Arizona converted three Florida State errors into a six-run first inning and advanced to the College World Series finals with a 10-3 victory over Florida State on Thursday.

Freshman starter Brandon Leibrandt was pulled after he recorded just one out for the Seminoles, who used eight pitchers to tie a CWS record for a nineinning game.

Robert Refsnyder and Bobby Brown homered in a span of three at-bats in the fourth as the Wildcats built their lead to 10-1.

Kurt Heyer (13-2) worked 7 1-3 innings while taking the national lead for wins.

The Wildcats (46-17) won Bracket 1 and will open the best-of-three finals Sunday.

Leibrandt (8-3) was knocked out after 4 1-3 innings of the Seminoles’ 4-3, 12-inning loss to Arizona last Friday. On Thursday, he threw 31 pitches, only 15 strikes, and his throwing error set the stage for Arizona’s big first inning.

■ Major League Baseball

Damon ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 And lately, after a horrendous start at the plate, Damon has been coming through with clutch hits.

Johnny on the spot.

On Wednesday night, Damon’s two-run homer in the fourth inning set the tone for Cleveland’s offense as the Indians beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 to complete a three-game sweep of the interleague series. It’s the most recent example of Damon delivering for the Indians, who were off Thursday and open a 10-game trip in Houston on Friday.

After being under .200 for most of the past month, Damon has bumped his average to .203 by hitting .400 (6 for 15) in his last six games. But he’s been slowly building with a .295 average over his past

16 games with eight RBIs and 10 runs.

To this point, he’s given the Indians more quality than quantity.

“He’s gotten so many big hits that go unnoticed just because of the batting average,” Indians manager Manny Acta said.

“Johnny got that two-run double the other day to beat Detroit. Johnny got the big homer to give us a cushion against the St. Louis Cardinals when everybody just remembers the three-run homer that Jason Kipnis hit.

Everybody forgot that it was Johnny who started the rally with a single off their closer.

“His concentration level when the game is on the line has been a tremendous teaching tool to these young guys.”

NFL denies witness retractions NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The NFL denies accusations it covered up retractions made by key witnesses in its bounty investigation, or that Commissioner Roger Goodell has placed gag orders on Saints employees and others who could help punished players clear their names.

Lawyer Peter Ginsberg, who represents suspended Saints player Jonathan

Vilma, made the accusations when punished players appeared earlier this week for an appeal hearing, a full transcript of which has been obtained

by The Associated Press.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello says claims of a gag order are “completely untrue,” and that no potential witnesses were instructed by the league to stay away from Monday’s hearing.

The transcript also shows that the NFL Players Association formally asked Goodell to recuse himself from ongoing appeal proceedings, contending that he is incapable of ruling “without the appearance of bias.”

“The commissioner has publicly appeared on television and in other (forums) defending the discipline,” NFLPA attorney Jeffrey Kessler said.

“We would ask that the commissioner step down, to the extent that these proceedings continue, as the decision maker and that a neutral decision maker be appointed in his place.”

The early portions of the transcript detail a series of verbal jousts that Ginsberg sought to deliver to the commissioner before leaving the appeal hearing early in protest.

pedophile” who used gifts and the pageantry of Penn State’s vaunted football program to attract and abuse vulnerable boys who came from troubled homes.

“What you should do is come out and say to the defendant that he molested and abused and give them back their souls,” Senior Deputy Attorney General Joseph McGettigan III told jurors. “I give them to you.

Acknowledge and give them justice.”

During his closing argument, McGettigan put up smiling pictures of eight accusers when they were children; all testified at trial that Sandusky molested them.

Standing behind McGettigan Sandusky, implored the jury to convict him “He molested and abused and hurt these children horribly,” McGettigan said. “He knows he did it, and you know he did it. Find him guilty of everything.”

Defense attorney Joseph Amendola argued that the 68-year-old Sandusky was targeted by investigators who coached accusers into making false claims about a generous man whose charity gave them much-needed love.

“They went after him, and I submit to you they were going to get him hell or high water, even if they had to coach witnesses,” Amendola said in a sometimes angry closing argument.

The closing arguments came after seven days of testimony, some of it graphically describing alleged abuse suffered at the hands of Sandusky, including touching in showers, fondling and in some cases forced oral or anal sex. One alleged victim — a foster child at the time — testified that Sandusky threatened him, telling him he would never see his family again if he disclosed the assaults.

Prosecutors said Sandusky met his victims through The Second Mile, a charity he founded for atrisk youth.

Eight young men testified that they were abused

by Sandusky, and jurors

alleged victims through other witnesses, including another former coach.

Sandusky has repeatedly denied the allegations, but he didn’t testify during the trial.

But Amendola said the accusers’ stories didn’t make sense, since they also included frequent visits to Sandusky’s home, trips to football games and other activities.

“Folks, you have to use your common sense,” Amendola said. “Jerry Sandusky took these kids everywhere. Is that what a pedophile does? … Does he parade these kids around?”

McGettigan countered with Sandusky’s own words in a November interview with NBC’s Bob Costas, in which he struggled to give direct answers to questions.

Asked if he was sexually attracted to boys, Sandusky said: “Sexually attracted, you know, I, I enjoy young people. I, I love to be around them. … No, I’m not sexually attracted to young boys.”

“I would think that the automatic response, if someone asks you if you’re a criminal, a pedophile, a child molester, or anything along those lines, would be: ‘You’re crazy. No. Are you nuts?’” McGettigan said.

The jury, which includes nine people with ties to Penn State, had begun deliberating when Matt Sandusky’s attorneys issued a statement alleging that Sandusky abused one of his five adopted sons.

“During the trial, Matt Sandusky contacted us and requested our advice and assistance in arranging a meeting with prosecutors to disclose for the first time in this case that he is a victim of Jerry Sandusky’s abuse,” Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici said in the statement. “At Matt’s request, we immediately arranged a meeting between him and the prosecutors and investigators.

“This has been an extremely painful experience for Matt and he has asked us to convey his request that the media respect his privacy. There will be no further comment.”

Post 43 drops opener Staff Reports

“We wanted Dad in the best place - the most comfortable, caring place possible... We knew exactly where to go, and we’re so thankful it’s close to home.”

The Troy Post 43 legion baseball team dropped a game to the Indiana Breakers, losing 8-0 to open the Great Lake Championship on Wednesday in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Post 43 had its chances, but failed to make it count, loading the bases on multiple occasions and stranding runners each time. Troy had three hits in the fiveinning run rule, with Garrett Mitchell going 2 for 3.

“We had the bases loaded three times, but could not capitalize,” Troy Post 43 coach Frosty Brown said. “We hit the ball hard, but we got robbed a few times.

“They are a pretty good team. We thought we should have stayed with them a little better than we did.”

Steven Blei took the loss on the hill for Post 43.

The Troy Bombers got off to a good start, beating the Oakland Whitecaps by a score of 10-3. Ryan Lavy got the win on the mound and Jacob Wenning hit a home run in the win.
