“I helped bring Boots the Clown here along with the Fire Prevention Bureau to teach kids about fire prevention,” Pittenger said, referring to a program that former firefighter Jack Evans brought to Troy, modeled off one in the Phoenix area. Dressed as a clown, Pittenger visited kids at local schools for more than 10 years.

Though Troy still has a fire safety program, Boots is no longer; Pittenger was the first and only clown.

He also has spoken to children about his career as a firefighter and paramedic.

“I always tell the kids that you better like to learn if you want to be a firefighter,” said Pittenger, who has two grown boys, Andy, 29, and Chris, 26. “There’s ongoing training — paramedic training, HazMat (hazardous materials) and firefighter training — every month.”

Miami County Sheriff’s Office officials are asking for neighbors to be on the look out for suspicious activity after two-daytime break-ins in two separate Troy neighborhoods.

According to Chief Deputy Dave Duchak, the incidents occurred during the daytime hours over the weekend in the neighborhood of Merrimont on Merrimont Drive and Barnhart Roads. Jewelry, electronics and a chainsaw

Chris Woten was also present and expressed his enthusiasm in joining the Tipp City School family by teaching music part-time at Broadway Elementary.

“I’m extremely excited to work with young kids here and have the opportunity to broaden their minds musically and get them prepared for success,” Woten said.

He attended the Ohio State University for five years for his bachelor’s degree in music.

Coming from a charter school in Groveport, Ohio, this fall will be his sixth year of teaching.

Teaching isn’t the only thing that keeps Woten busy. He also leads worship at churches in Dayton, Beavercreek and Urbana.

Woten lives in Mechanicsburg with his wife and two kids.

Besides new staff, the school had four staff resignations—Math Club’s Deb Haas, eighth grade boys

TIPP CITY basketball coach Chris Prokes, assistant varsity boys basketball coach Mike Vagedes and freshman girls volleyball coach Emily Zickafoose.

Besides approving these changes, the board also approved some changes in assignment.

Jane Landis went from a parttime teacher at Nevin Coppock Elementary School to a part-time intervention specialist at L.T. Ball Intermediate School.

Kim Hagen went from a fulltime aide at Tippecanoe Middle School to half-time aide at the middle school and half-time secretary to assistant superintendent Dr. Gretta Kumpf.

And Brian Shappie went from physical education teacher at Nevin Coppock to physical education

teacher at the middle school. He will be taking over for Peggy Osborn, who recently retired.

His position at Nevin Coppock will not be refilled. According to superintendent Dr. John Kronour, the move is part of the school’s levy plan of reducing the school by one teacher from physical education, music and art.

The plan to cover this reduction is to have two teachers on staff share the responsibilities of the Nevin P.E. teacher position. Jeannie Koch from L.T. Ball will teach physical education in the afternoons, and William Pryor from Broadway Elementary will teach in the mornings.

Kronour said that at the end of the year, the plan will be evaluated.

release.

“The state of Ohio will not tolerate those who defraud and steal,” DeWine said. “If you commit fraud in Ohio or upon Ohioans, my office will work to have you prosecuted regardless of where you are.”

The suspects operated a criminal enterprise of at least three different companies that targeted victims nationwide who owned inexpensive, vacant land throughout the U.S., according to the indictment returned last NASAL week.

Landowners were fed a series of lies over the phone and led to believe their land was worth up to 15 times its assessed value. They were told that they had to pay fees of $500 to almost $16,000 to guarantee the sale of their land.

Most of these victims are elderly, and some of them originally bought this land when they

returned home from war. Victims were allegedly told that the suspects would sell their land to eager buyers at lavish dinner shows in Las Vegas, Nev., Reno, Nev., and St. Louis, Mo. Other victims were told that investors in a solar energy plant had already agreed to purchase their land for the inflated value, but to finalize the sale they had to prepay the closing costs.

The indictment alleges that there were never any buyers, closings or sales done in the lifetime of the companies.

Officials report the suspects tried to make their scheme appear legitimate. For example, videos on their website show a number of the suspects talking to a supposed crowd of eager buyers at what is claimed to be a dinner show in Las Vegas. But the video was actually filmed in a banquet room at the Brukner Nature Center near Troy,

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

and the only attendees were employees and family members with no buyers present, the indictment alleges.

The enterprise was founded in Ohio in 2007 and operated from many locations, including Troy, Huber Heights and Vandalia.

Later, the operation opened new branches in the Tampa, Fla., area.

“Criminals should understand that they can’t use Miami County, Ohio, as a base of operations for their crimes,” Nasal said. “I look forward to working with the attorney general to investigate and prosecute more of these cases.”

The news release states the suspects were indicted for engaging in a pattern of corrupt activities; conspiracy; aggravated theft of $1.5 million or more; telecommunications fraud; money laundering; and telemarketing fraud. If convicted, the ringleaders face charges that can carry a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of 37 and a half years.

The Ohio Attorney General’s

Economic Crimes Division led the investigation with extensive cooperation from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), the Clark County Sheriff, the Huber Heights Police Department, the Florida attorney general, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Pinellas County sheriff, and the United States Postal Inspection Service. William Schenck, Jonathan Blanton, and Ryan Stubenrauch from the Ohio Attorney General’s office have been appointed special assistant prosecutors for this case.

This case was one of the first investigations undertaken after DeWine created the Economic Crimes Division within the Consumer Protection Section. It was created in March of 2011 with the purpose of identifying criminal conduct in consumer fraud cases and assisting Ohio’s prosecuting attorneys in holding scammers criminally accountable. To date, 40 people have been charged with felonies as a result of investigations out of the division.

The school’s athletic director, Matt Shomper, was at the meeting and discussed with the board the possibilities of drug testing being a part of Tipp City Schools in the future.

According to Shomper, booster parents and coaches are most concerned about marijuana and alcohol use among Tipp City School students.

Shomper said that he wanted to “begin a conversation” and said that he was very interested in putting together a survey that parents and students can take in the fall that will give the school more input as to how big of an issue drugs are at the school.

Transfers and advances Treasurer Joseph Smith reported that the school had transferred $12,000 from its General Fund to Uniform Supply, which includes class workbooks, notebooks and lab fees. Smith said that the reason for this was because the pay had been slow this year.

He also said that the school advanced $11,895.99 from its general fund toward three federal programs, but Smith said that they will be receiving this money back in the future.

Besides explaining transfers, advances and budget appropriations, Joseph Smith and his staff were commended by President Tom Merritt and the board.

Merritt announced that Auditor of State David Yost gave the Tipp City Exempted

Village School District the Auditor of State Award.

According to Yost, the award is “given to those entities that file timely financial reports in accordance with generally accepted country principles as well as receive a clean audit report.”

“That’s a fabulous recognition of our district,” Merritt said.

“It just demonstrates that our financial footing is even on more solid ground, and that’s awesome.”

Levy update Kronour gave a quick update on the Emergency Tax Levy, which will be on the ballot in August, and said that things were coming along very well with the distribution of signs and brochures.

“Our committee is working hard to get the information out,” Kronour said.

Kronour announced that KIT-TV will be airing a 30-minute program, hosted by him and Levy Co-Chairman Matt Owen. The program will feature an in-depth discussion on the levy.

Online users can view the program now at kittv.org.

A link to the video can be found on the home page of Tipp City Schools at www.tippcityschools.com.

“We’re trying to share what people need to know to be able to make an informed decision on August 7,” Kronour said.

Board members also discussed what they should do if the levy does not pass in the coming months.

The next Tipp City Board of Education meeting will be held on Monday, July 23, at 7 p.m. at the board of education office.

“One was forceful entry through a broken window,” Duchak said. He said officials do not know if the two break-ins are related, although he is asking for residents to be on the look out for suspicious vehicles in the neighborhoods to be reported.

“We’ve increased patrols in both areas,” Duchak said. “We really need citizens help and for anything out of the ordinary to be reported immediately.”

Anyone with any additional information concerning these incidents are asked to call 9-1-1 or the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office at 440-6085. For more information, visit www.miamicountysheriff.o rg.

AS I SEE IT

Richard Adams Troy Daily News Guest Columnist

Ohio pension reform requires adequate info The issue of pension reform is in need of attention in Ohio. As a recent Time magazine article pointed out, pension liabilities are now 35 percent of the state’s Gross Domestic Product. Ohio's taxpayers, active members, and retirees rely on a comprehensive solution.

While a quick solution would be ideal in everyone's minds, it must also be done right. An actuarial study is currently being conducted by the Ohio Retirement Council (ORC), which will outline proposals and suggestions for how best to manage the five public retirement systems in Ohio. It is expected to be released by mid- July.

Officials from these retirement systems have been asked to submit their reform proposals. Looking at their ideas, as well as the proposals by the ORC's report, would be the best way to move this process forward in order to make sure all sides of the issue are covered.

The Ohio Senate has introduced five bills (one for each public retirement system). We all realize the need for reform of the retirement system in Ohio. I believe that pushing legislative action as soon as possible with the information that the report on this subject will provide makes sense and will lead to the best result.

I think it is important that we proceed with caution on this issue so that we end up with effective policies that will lead our state in the appropriate direction. It is not as though nothing is being done in the meantime to address this issue. Members of both the House and Senate have been developing ideas for several months so that we can quickly advance in the process upon the release of the report.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, on the middle class: The middle class is getting lots of love on the campaign trail these days.

When he spoke at Cuyahoga Community College’s Metro Campus recently, President Barack Obama declared that this election marks a “make-or-break moment for the middle class.” Republican Mitt Romney said in New Hampshire that he’s running to give “the middle class of America a fair shot.”

It’s hard to argue with those sentiments.

The collective impact of the recession that began in 2007 and turned into a full-blown meltdown in the fall of 2008 can be seen most starkly in figures released by the Federal Reserve. The central bank calculates that the median net worth of American families fell 39 percent — from $126,400 to $77,300 — between 2007 and 2010. Families were left roughly where they were two decades earlier.

A big thanks to my little cousin and all soldiers I knew there was a chance it could happen. I know he’s strong enough for the challenge and, more importantly, I know he is brave enough for the challenge.

A couple of years ago my little cousin, Zach Dyer, signed up to be in the military. Shortly following, his little brother, Ethan, also joined the military. Now they are both members of the United States Army.

After both were sent off to basic training and came home to their loving families and warm homes, we celebrated and told them how proud we were. Recently at Ethan’s graduation, I talked with Zach about his plan for the summer, all the Army adventures they had planned for him coming up. I told them we all needed to get together with their sister, Molly, and go to lunch.

Needless to say, it’s another life lesson that you shouldn’t to put things off. Just a couple of weeks ago, Zach got THE call. Yes, the call that so many men and women have received and are proud to answer. Zach found out that he would be joining his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan.

When I found out, I was so

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist

incredibly proud of my cousin. I have said it before, that our military men and women do not get the credit they deserve, nor their families who stay state-side, provide support, love and care. That feeling is only reinforced when it is someone you love. With just a few day’s notice, my family all gathered and had a send-off party for him Sunday before he flew out Monday. All of his friends, family and other Army co-horts were there. The mood was light, the sun was out and the party was fun, but there was an underlying emotion of worry and sadness.

I know that no matter how many times people say “He’ll be OK,” “See ya when you get home,” or any other form of endearment

for someone being sent off to war, there is an unsettled tone behind it. My Aunt Kelley and Uncle Rod are so strong. It is their first son being sent to war and they had their heads held high and welcomed everyone encouraging them to give Zach encouraging words and messages.

I said it to him this weekend and will always say it — I have gotten to watch Zach grow into such an awesome, talented young man. In one instance, I can’t believe he has left and is fighting for the freedoms of our country, but in another, I wouldn’t expect anything less from a man in our family, with the roots and morals instilled in him by our grandfather and his father. It is just crazy to remember back and think of us playing as young children and into our adult years. Remembering when we played with dinosaurs, G.I. Joe or our newly opened Christmas packages and tricks on each other, and now he’s off to play real Army — protecting everything he has known and loved. I joked with him this weekend about the dinosaurs and mostly about his love for PB&J’S. No joke, that kid had a mysterious infatuation with

PB&J sandwiches. We would all be sitting around the table at Thanksgiving having an awesome meal and Zach would be down there eating his PB&J. Granted, our grandma does make top-notch jelly, but it still made us laugh. He finally grew out of it, but I teased him that he has gone from PB&J’S to MRE’S (meals ready to eat.)

What a difference.

All jokes and fun aside, this is just one more time for me to thank our sweet men and women who risk their lives every day and their families who stand behind them.

They don’t have to stand up and say “yes, I will,” but they do and we should be forever thankful for their bravery, strength and pride.

So, Zach, I’ve told you a million times in the last week but I am so thankful for your service and am so proud.

Aunt Kelly and Uncle Rod, we are all so proud and will all be praying. You should be proud of the man you raised. He’s following in your footsteps and has good role models to follow.

could locate the victim’s wallet in order to find out his identity that Scheafer exclaimed, “ Oh God, his leg’s gone!” followed by the first thought that came to mind, “Get me a belt.”

Sheafer estimates that about a minute and a half passed before they could get the belt/tourniquet into place on Black.

Sheafer, whose brother Bill is a lieutenant on the Troy Fire Department, said that once they discovered the seriousness of Black’s injuries, everything else was “pretty much instantaneous,” as far as treating the injury. “We all worked together,” said Sheafer, until Troy Fire Department arrived on the scene.

Sheafer noted that Black also was wearing a high-end motorcycle helmet and it had sustained “road rash,” as a result of the crash.

“Somebody was looking out for him,” said Shaefer, who has already made one trip to visit Black at Miami Valley Hospital.

The names of the other Good Samaritans remain unknown.

Troy Fire Department Assistant Chief Matt Simmons said that the quick actions of Sheafer and others on the scene — by applying a belt as a tourniquet to stop the hemorrhaging — may have played a significant role in the fact that Troy Medics and CareFlight medics were able to save Black’s life.

AN EXAM DURING THE MONTH OF JUNE

TROY

The victim of a Saturday crash on State Route 41, between Troy and Covington, Tristan Black of Greenville, was in serious condition Tuesday night at Miami Valley Hospital.

Black suffered numerous injuries, including the amputation of a leg when the motorcycle he was riding struck a pickup truck around 11 p.m. Saturday.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing but Miami County Sheriff’s deputies said Tuesday that they believe Black was traveling “in excess of 100 miles per hour,” at the time of the collision.

The fact that Black is still alive may have a lot to do with several Good Samaritans.

Steve Sheafer lives near the crash site and had just arrived home with his family.

While starting a bonfire in his back yard, Sheafer says that he heard motorcycles approaching, a loud crash — and then silence.

Sheafer ran quickly to the roadway and was met with chaos. He described the scene as very dark.

“Me, a lady and a guy,” said Sheafer, found Black lying face up in the ditch.

Although it was too dark to see the extent of Black’s injuries, Sheafer did see that the victim’s jeans had been ripped off.

Sheafer quickly removed his shirt to cover Black, “to give him some dignity.”

It was when they decided to see if they

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

TUCSON, Ariz.

(AP)— Arizona’s police chiefs and county sheriffs hoped a U.S. Supreme Court ruling would settle their longrunning debate on what role, if any, they should play in immigration enforcement. Instead, the justices’ decision to uphold the state’s “show me your papers” statute has left them with more questions than answers.

How long must officers wait for federal authorities to respond when they encounter someone illegal, especially given President Barack Obama’s new policy to only deport dangerous criminals and repeat offenders? If they release a person too soon, are they exposing themselves to a lawsuit from residents who accuse them of failing to enforce the law?

How do they avoid being sued for racial profiling? Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he anticipated no change in how he does his job but that comes from someone who was accused of racially profiling Latinos in a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Justice Department.

“We’re going to get sued if we do. We’re going to get sued if we don’t. That’s a terrible position to put law enforcement officers in,” said Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, whose territory covers much of southern Arizona and who has long argued against his state’s requirement that local law enforcement be forced to ask about the legal status of anyone suspected of being in the U.S. illegally.

The justices on Monday unanimously approved the Arizona law’s most-discussed provision requiring police to check the immigration status of those they stop for other reasons. But it struck down provisions allowing local police to arrest people for federal immigration violations.

They also warned against detaining people for any prolonged period merely for not having proper immigration papers.

Facebook email switcheroo draws fire NEW YORK (AP) — In yet another change that upset users, Facebook has replaced the email addresses users chose to display on their profile pages with facebook.com addresses.

Previously, users may have displayed their personal yahoo.com or gmail.com address to let people know how to contact them outside of Facebook. Now, Facebook has hidden those addresses and put a Facebook email listing in its place.

The changes raised users’ suspicions. By hiding other email addresses Facebook can keep its already-captive audience even more captive. Sending an email to a Facebook.com address will land the email in the messages section of a user’s Facebook profile. The more people use Facebook to communicate, the more the company can target ads based on the conversations they have on its platform just as Google targets ads to Gmail users based on text in their emails.

“They’ve got an email service that no one is using,” said Forrester analyst Nate Elliott.

Getting people to send emails to and from Facebook deepens people’s connection to the site, he added. “This is a way of encouraging use it’s just a rather crude way.”

The email change was first pointed out by bloggers over the

weekend and publicized by media outlets Monday. The exposure led to gripes from users, mostly on their Facebook pages and on Twitter.

In a statement, Facebook said it is giving users Facebook.com email addresses “because we find that many users find it useful to connect with each other, but using the Facebook email is completely up to you.” It added that the email address people use to log in to Facebook or receive notifications won’t change.

Users who are bothered by the change can reset their profile.

Facebook didn’t delete the previously displayed email addresses.

So, to revert back to the original address, click on the “about” section of your profile. Once there, look for “Contact Info” and click on the edit icon on its right hand corner. There, you can change who can see your email address and which email addresses they can see.

The Facebook.com email address allows users to communi-

”

cate with outside email addresses via Facebook, but it’s unclear how many people use the feature.

Popular as Facebook has been with more than 900 million monthly users, its messages and posts have not replaced email, texting and other forms of communication.

According to comScore, Facebook visitors spent an average of 381 minutes (or 6.35 hours) on the site last month.

The company started giving its users Facebook.com email addresses back in 2010, but only in the last few months has it begun to display them on people’s profiles. In an announcement that went largely unnoticed, it said in April that it was “updating addresses on Facebook to make them more consistent” across the site. To Facebook consistency meant switching everyone to a Facebook.com address.

Over the weekend, Facebook added a feature that lets users change what contact information is displayed on their Timeline directly from the Timeline without

having to go into their account settings. In rolling out this change, the company defaulted everyone’s displayed address to Facebook.com.

“Ever since the launch of Timeline, people have had the ability to control what posts they want to show or hide on their own timelines, and today we’re extending that to other information they post, starting with the Facebook address,” Facebook spokeswoman Jillian Stefanki said in an email late Monday.

Menlo Park, Calif.-based Facebook is well known for making changes to its website that occasionally irritate users. Some users are still holding off on switching their old profile pages to the Timeline, which lists users’ shared life events, updates and photos in chronological order, dating back to their birth. In 2006, there was a big uproar over a nowcentral feature of Facebook, the news feed that tells people what their friends are doing.

“It’s pretty emblematic of Facebook’s mode of operation.

Take action and apologize later,” said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst at research firm eMarketer. “They seem like they pulled the trigger without telling everybody. It’s going back to the way they were operating a few years ago.”

Queen, ex-IRA chief face N.Ireland peace milestone

Hometown Bankers You Know By Name!

ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II prayed together Tuesday with Catholic and Protestant leaders from across Northern Ireland as this long-divided land demonstrated its rising faith in a shared future and braced for a peacemaking milestone that has been a quarter-century in the making.

The British monarch visited the lakeside town of Enniskillen, scene of one of the Irish Republican Army’s most shocking atrocities, for events symbolizing how far Northern Ireland has come from its darkest days of bloodshed.

Today, she’s expected to meet and shake hands with Martin McGuinness, former commander of the dominant Provisional IRA faction, in what many see as the symbolic conclusion to a fourdecade conflict.

Their first-ever contact, long avoided by McGuinness’ Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein, follows

Celebrating

the Provisional IRA’s killing of some 1,775 people since 1970, including the queen’s own cousin Lord Louis Mountbatten a 1979 assassination that IRA experts say McGuinness himself sanctioned.

McGuinness today is the senior Catholic in Northern Ireland’s unity government, an institution forged following the Provisionals’ 2005 decision to renounce violence and disarm.

Yet the political difficulties that McGuinness faces are writ large on the

Northern Ireland landscape.

Catholics and Protestants alike are suddenly ribbing him, if not to his face, as “Sir Martin of Londonderry” a tongue-in-cheek reference to his home city, because virtually all Irish nationalists reject that British name and use its native Irish name of Derry.

Many Protestant leaders and analysts likewise have asserted, triumphantly, that the peace process has left McGuinness with no choice but to bend the knee to the British monarch.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Don’t put kids in the middle of a money argument Dear Annie: I've been a stepmother to two lovely girls, now 12 and 17, since they were very young.

My husband gladly pays child support on time without fail. The girls have different mothers who raise their children in opposite ways, yet in both cases, it's rare that the child support actually reaches the child.

The amount of child support each mother receives is fair, but is being used incorrectly. The girls continuously need clothes, shoes, haircuts, coats, money for school activities, you name it. It's like my husband is paying child support twice for each child.

My question is this: If the conversation falls on deaf ears with both mothers, is it OK to explain the financial situation to the girls?

My husband doesn't want to talk money with them, and I don't want to badmouth their mothers, but I'm tired of being broke. What's my role? — North Carolina Stepmom Dear Stepmom: To be supportive. Do not involve the children in your dispute over child support.

This is not their fault, and they shouldn't be put in the middle of unhappy parents. If your husband feels the support payments are not being used to cover the girls' necessities, he needs to document what he spends for these things and then talk to his lawyer and ask that the support payments be reduced.

Dear Annie: I am a 28-year-old mother of two beautiful children. I have an aunt who suffers from various conditions, and over the years, she has been put on several medications. Three years ago, her oldest son died in a car accident. Her middle child recently had a bout with cancer. Things have not been easy. I have watched her physical and mental health spiral downward.

Some days she's fine, and other days she never leaves her bed.

My kids have a hard time understanding what she says, and sometimes she babbles on about nonsense and odd things. How do I get my family some help? — Fighting for My Family Dear Family: Please tell your children that "Aunt Bee" is not well, and teach them how to be tolerant and compassionate. If she is taking a variety of medications and is babbling and talking nonsense, it is very possible that she is overmedicated or needs to check the dosages and interactions. Whoever is in charge of her medical care should address this with her doctor.

If no one is in charge, please offer to make an appointment and accompany her, and ask whether it's OK to speak to the doctor on her behalf. She also sounds like she could benefit from grief therapy.

Bless you for caring enough to handle this.

Dear Annie: I think you missed a major point in the letter from "Bride-To- Be," whose future mother-in-law wanted her to ask a cousin to be a bridesmaid.

Bridesmaids are the bride's decision. If she lets her future motherin-law get her way now, think what she could do in the future. The mother-in-law was rude to make the suggestion in the first place, and she should apologize. The fiance ought to put his foot down now and not let his mother dictate what his future wife should do. I say nip it in the bud. — Omaha, Neb. Dear Omaha: A lot of readers agree with you, but we don't. A wedding is a time to blend families together. A considerate bride will include members of her future husband's family in her wedding party, especially if both her fiance and his mother would like it. Mom may turn out to be a bully -- it's too early to say — but the bride's default position should not be "no" to every single request simply because she is afraid Mom will overstep. When Mom doesn't respect boundaries, it's fine to say so. But otherwise, there is nothing wrong with occasionally accommodating someone your spouse loves.

It shows maturity and grace.

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.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Any suggestions for recycling used kitchen sponges Dear Heloise: Are there any recycling ideas for used kitchen sponges? I buy the kind with the sponge on one side and scrubber on the other.

I use one for a couple of weeks (regularly disinfecting it with bleach), but hate to throw it away when I replace it. — Judy S. in Florida Yes, Judy, there are a couple of things you can do. A lot of readers “downgrade” kitchen sponges and make them the bathroom sponge for cleaning the showers and toilets. Be sure to snip a corner to identify the sponge.

You also can use the sponge

Hints from Heloise Columnist only for floor spot cleaning.

Just make sure you remember what function the sponge is now serving, and place it where it isn’t accidentally used for its old kitchen duties.

Ick! — Heloise LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: I always

see what you have to say in your column before I read the obits.

Here’s a hint: Make your husband’s favorite meal, including an extra-special dessert, before announcing a disaster like a dented fender on the car! — Sarah C., San Antonio Sarah, glad you read me before the obits, and hope you WON’T see me there!

— Heloise EGG CARTONS Dear Heloise: I thought I would share some fun ways to use egg cartons. Just be sure that the egg cartons are clean and don’t have residue

before using them around the house: • An excellent kindling (Heloise here: the paper ones — not the plastic or foam cartons) for those who enjoy grilling. The air space in the carton and quick-to-burn paper make an egg carton an excellent choice for starting your fire.

• Golf balls are just the right size for fitting into an egg carton, so you will know exactly where the balls are.

• Egg-carton cups are the perfect size for sprouting seeds. Put a little dirt in each cup, along with a seed.

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, June 27, 2012 In the year ahead, you are likely to make a solid connection that will turn out to be extremely profitable for a long time to come. The deal is apt to come about and be set up by a close friend or relative.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you have any hope of resolving a domestic problem that arises, you must take a firm position and stand by it. Being wishy-washy would only worsen the situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Being fairminded and unbiased is required if you hope to win others over to your point of view. Trying to force the issue would have an opposite effect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Because you should be able to clearly perceive the difference between what is essential spending and what isn’t, this is a good day to get a handle on your budget.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — An objective that is of utmost personal importance might not be so vital for some of the others involved. The only way you’ll get what you want is to break away and work independently.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Although you may appear to be in your own world, you’ll be hard at work weighing and balancing critical issues that will make or break your plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — This is not a good day to talk shop or to try to promote a special interest when in a social setting. Your friends are far more interested in having fun than listening to your workaday affairs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Try as you might, it could be difficult for you to escape the scrutiny of others. Whether you like it or not, your public image is being assessed by some rather severe critics.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You should trade on your past experiences instead of totally ignoring them. If you don’t, you could be tempted to attempt something that didn’t work out too well the last time you tried it.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You should know that you would derive the greatest of pleasure from engaging in shared activities. If you decide to play a loner’s role, this will be just another humdrum day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Because the needs and requirements of those with whom you’re involved are too restrictive, you may start to look for a way out. Try to do so as pleasantly as possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Make sure you have the necessary tools, materials and time before tackling a big project. If any one of these things is missing, chances are the job will never be finished.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Activities that include elements of friendly competition will be highly appealing to you, which is all well and good. However, if at all possible, keep wagers out of the picture.

W.VA.

WOODLAND PARK, Colo. (AP) — Searing, record-setting heat in the interior West kept its grip on firefighters struggling to contain blazes in Colorado, Utah and other Rocky Mountain states on Tuesday.

Colorado has endured nearly a week of 100-plusdegree days and low humidity, sapping moisture from timber and grass, creating a devastating formula for volatile wildfires across the state and punishing conditions for firefighters.

“When it’s that hot, it just dries the fuels even more. That can make the fuels explosive,” said Steve Segin, a fire spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service.

All of Utah and much of Wyoming, Colorado and Montana were under a red flag warning, meaning conditions were hot, dry and ripe for fires.

Tuesday was the fifth consecutive day with temperatures of 100 degrees or higher in Denver, tying a record set in 2005 and 1989.

On Monday, Denver set a record with 105 degrees.

The previous record for June 25 was 100 degrees in 1991.

Other areas of the state also topped 100 degrees Tuesday, including the northeastern Colorado town of Wray, which hit 108, the National Weather Service said.

The scorching heat doesn’t appear to be letting up soon. Segin said such prolonged heat is “extremely taxing” physically on firefighters, who are working long days and carrying heavy gear.

The 7-square-mile Waldo Canyon fire west of Colorado Springs, Colo., sent heavy smoke billowing over an upscale neighborhood as firefighters battled

to keep the fire from burning houses and advancing toward the Air Force Academy.

The fire was less than 5 miles from the southwest corner of the academy’s 28square-mile campus, fire information officer Greg Heule said. Winds appeared to be pushing the fire to the west of the school.

Television video showed smoke and flames close to houses in a forested neighborhood northwest of Colorado Springs. There were no reports of homes burning.

The fire was 5 percent contained.

Two specially equipped Air Force C-130 cargo planes were helping fight the fire, and a third was expected later in the day.

With the nation’s privately owned fleet of heavy air tankers already in use or unavailable, U.S. Forest Chief Tom Tidwell said his agency had to call on the military to help.

Tidwell told The Associated Press in a phone interview Monday that about half of the nation’s personnel who are usually assigned to large fires are working in Colorado right now.

“It’s just because it’s so dry,” Tidwell said. “Not unlike New Mexico they saw very low snowpack, especially in that lower country. Hot, dry winds with dry fuels, you get the ignition, and this is what we see.”

At the 136-square-mile High Park fire in northern Colorado, authorities increased the number of homes destroyed to 257, saying they found nine homes that hadn’t been counted earlier. The total was already the highest of any wildfire in state history.

That fire was 55 percent contained.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

Easy-to-wear summer hairstyles Summer is synonymous with carefree living. The nice weather seems to come and go so quickly that we really have to enjoy every minute of it. And that means cutting down on the amount of time we spend on daily tasks—including doing our hair!

Perhaps that’s why thin African braids are so popular these days. They can take more than 10 hours to do, but once they’re in, you won’t have to worry about styling your hair at all. Not only that, but they also make for a gorgeously original look.

On a more conservative but equally easy-to-wear note, styles this summer will also be featuring extremely feminine and natural cuts of all lengths. According to L’Oréal Professional, the hottest styles are those that

focus on simplicity and freshness - whether in shades of salmon beige or light chestnut with reddish highlights.

Textures will also be mixed and matched this summer. Full, square lines can partner up with lots of tapering. Non-uniform layers are big this season, but now are taking on a bit more softness and finishing.

The final result is hair that has more volume and style, but without detracting from that natural, flowing effect that’s so popular these days.

For those looking to get that 60s look, opt for a traditional square cut with rounded corners.

The key is to achieve texture with highly layered ends. As for the length, that can depend on the height of your eyes, nose or lips. Hair is then styled with just the right amount of volume.

Ready, steady, cut!

Men’s hair fashions are stirring a lot of interest this year and men will soon find out that they’ll have plenty of choice this summer season. That’s right, stylists have been hard at work creating some great new looks!

Those most resistant to spending time in front of a mirror can adopt the messy or tousled look. Women also have a weakness for this very natural style.

Simply comb your hair with your fingers, lifting the hair away from the face. Work a bit of gel or styling paste into a few strands, twisting a little here, pulling a little there. This style is great for men in a rush and wanting a casual look.

The wet look is destined for men who like taking care of themselves, particularly

Thank You

their hair. Seducers will love this trendy look, simple and easy to achieve. You will need fairly short hair to pull it off. The technique is simple: comb all the hair straight back with the help of gel or styling mousse.

For those of you who would like to hide a prominent forehead, the “British wave” style is just the thing. It will also help to accentuate your face. For this slightly retro-look hair style you’ll want to keep the back and sides fairly short while playing with the length of the bangs. The hair must look soft and natural so gel or spray should never be used.

Finally, for those who love buzz cuts, one piece of advice: don’t forget your hat to protect yourself from the sun!

How does the summer weather affect your hair

How shiny is your hair There are all kinds of high-performance products that can restore shine and vitality to your hair. Whether you spray it on or gel it on, these silicon-based products can add beautiful highlights to any type of hair. Since longer hair tends to get split ends, sealants will add glaze to dry or damp hair and will protect it from the harmful effects of your hairdryer. Some silicone oil-based products, which are sprayed onto a brush before being applied, will result in wonderful highlights.

Shampoos containing emulsions will also add shine while protecting your hair. You should choose a shampoo that rinses away copletely along with any styling product residue.

Revitalizing your hair To return your hair to its full body, it’s important that your hair is thoroughly cleansed when you shampoo. What’s more, you should always completely rinse your hair in order to remove all traces of shampoo. A tried and true trick that our grandmothers used to invigorate their hair was to f irst rinse with warm water, followed by cold water with ome vinegar added to it. your hair and protect each strand with a protective coating.

Summer might be one of the most beautiful times of the year, but it can really wreak havoc with your hair. In fact, the sun’s harmful UV rays can dry out your hair, and if you love spending time in a pool, you’ve probably already noticed how nasty chlorine can be, too.

Thankfully, you can protect you hair with various hair products that contain sunscreen.

Summer’s long, hot and humid days can make styling your hair diff icult, if not impossible.

Well, what can you do? For a start, you can help control your hair with maximum hold styling gels. If your hair has a natural tendency to become frizzy, you can minimize this with curling gels or mousse and tie your hair back with clips or a barrette.

Do you have dry hair?

Dry hair can become dull and quickly lose its beauty. Moisturizing your hair is of extreme importance when it comes to keeping it healthy looking. To restore your hair’s natural sheen, you need to nourish it! There are many new highly effective conditioners available that will moisturize your hair and protect each strand with a protective coating.

Hair Gone Wild!

On cat walks at the top fashion shows all over the world, hairstyles are bursting with creative frenzy. Hair is teased, twisted, straightened, wet, lacquered and coloured. Today, we can be transformed on a whim into a hippy, a sweet young girl or an ancient goddess.

We’re heading back to the 80s and to the days of “Charlie’s Angels”. However, beware: if you tease, lift at the roots and pump-up the volume, you have to make sure to stay away from the unflattering side of this hairstyle by giving it a totally natural look. If your preference is for short hair, avoid flattening the sides like the style called for back then. Keep the nape of the neck clean-cut, while banishing bangs and layers.

Just like the volume got carried away, so did colour. Not only is platinum returning, so are brighter and more total colours for those special occasions when we’d like to draw a little more attention.

For a change of style, extensions can add great shades and colour or they can totally transform your look. Extensions are attached approximately 1 cm from the root of the hair, using a resin that adheres to the keratin and fuses the extensions without damaging your own hair. Because the adhesive is applied directly to the scalp, the extensions can be easily removed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — And here’s the playoff pitch.

The commissioners of the 11 major college football conferences and Notre Dame’s athletic director gathered Tuesday in the nation’s capital to present their proposal for a four-team playoff to a panel of 12 university presidents, headed

by Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger.

Approval from the BCS presidential oversight committee is the last hurdle to clear for a big-time college football playoff to become a reality. The new format would replace the Bowl Championship Series, starting in 2014.

Former acting Big 12 Commissioner Chuck Neinas said before the meeting at a hotel in the DuPont Circle area of Washington that the commissioners will make about a 30-minute presentation, and then take questions from their bosses.

“The presidents have been pretty well briefed by their commissioners coming in, so it will be a matter of how much they want to discuss,” he said.

The presidents were to discuss the plan privately for about an hour, before holding a news conference, tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m. Each of the 11 conferences

and Notre Dame is represented on the presidential committee.

Approval is expected, but it won’t come without some debate.

Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman has said he would prefer to keep the BCS as is or make a small modification to it that would have the championship matchup set after the bowls are played instead of before. The tweaked BCS is referred to as a plus-one.

“I know Harvey Perlman will speak to the plus-one. That’s very well documented,” Neinas said with a chuckle.

The commissioners have been working on a new postseason for-

Slump buster Troy Post 43 routs Miamisburg, 9-1 Staff Reports The Troy Post 43 legion baseball team encountered a little hitting slump during last weekend’s Great Lake Championships.

But that slump was busted in a big way on Tuesday night against Miamisburg Post 165, as Troy piled on six runs in the

TROY fifth inning en route to an 9-1 victory at Duke Park in Troy.

“We had four games over the weekend where we just couldn’t get the big hit,” Troy Post 43 coach Frosty Brown said. “So I think this last weekend we had our confidence shattered a little bit. But our guys know they’ve been good hitters all along. It was just a matter of us regrouping and getting back to the fundamentals.”

The site of the championship game will be bid out the way the NFL does with the Super Bowl.

Kvitova returns to grass strong Defending champ wins Wimbledon opener WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Returning to the court where she won her first Grand Slam championship a year ago, Petra Kvitova overcame a shaky start and a late rain delay Tuesday to open her Wimbledon title defense with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Akgul Amanmuradova.

Four-time champion Serena Williams, meanwhile, returned to the same Court 2 where big sister Venus was upset a day earlier and restored family pride by beating Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-4.

The fourth-seeded Kvitova fell behind 3-0 and 4-1 in the first set on Centre Court before running off seven straight games to take command against the 96th-ranked player from Uzbekistan.

After Kvitova squandered a match point at 5-3 in the second set, play was suspended and the covers rolled onto the court the first rain break of the tournament.

When play resumed half an hour later, it took just three minutes to wrap up the match. After Amanmuradova won the first two points to hold for 5-4, the Czech player closed it out at love, hitting

Arroyo loses no-hitter, but Reds top Brewers Stubbs homers in 8th, Chapman gets save CINCINNATI (AP) — Bronson Arroyo took a no-hitter into the eighth inning on Tuesday night before giving up a three-run lead, but Drew Stubbs led off the bottom half with a homer, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Arroyo allowed only one runner through the first seven innings, hitting Ryan Braun in the first. The slumping Brewers hit only four balls out of the infield during that stretch.

After Milwaukee pulled even

with three hits in the eighth, Stubbs connected on the first pitch from John Axford (1-5) for his first homer since June 2. Jay Bruce also had a three-run homer.

The defending NL Central champions fell to eight games behind the first-place Reds, matching their biggest deficit of the season.

Arroyo’s no-hit drama ended abruptly. He walked George Kottaras with one out in the eighth, then gave up a double by Taylor Green in a 1-for-22 slump that landed just inside the rightfield line. Corey Hart had a

pinch-hit double that cut it to 32, and Norichiki Aoki singled to tie it and end Arroyo’s outing.

Sean Marshall (2-3) escaped the threat, and Aroldis Chapman struck out three in the ninth for his ninth save in 12 tries, celebrating the three-hitter with a pair of somersaults in front of the mound. Chapman had blown two of his last four save chances by giving up homers.

Arroyo recovered from one of his worst starts only four innings in a 7-1 loss in Cleveland last Wednesday. He got several impressive defensive plays behind him to keep his no-hitter

intact into the eighth.

The futility felt familiar to the Brewers, who had been held to one run in three of their last four games.

Milwaukee’s Marco Estrada returned from the disabled list and fanned a career-high 12 batters in six innings, but gave up Bruce’s 17th homer.

For the second night in a row, a pitcher set a career high in strikeouts at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park.

Cincinnati’s Mat Latos fanned 13 in a 3-1 complete-game victory in the series opener on Monday.

Sakic, Sundin headed to Hall TORONTO (AP) — Twelve-time All-Star Joe Sakic was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Tuesday in his first year of eligibility, joining Mats Sundin, Pavel Bure and Adam Oates as the newest class of inductees.

The four former NHL stars were chosen by the Hall’s 18-member selection committee. The induction ceremony will be held Nov. 12.

Sakic had 625 goals and 1,016 assists in his 20-year NHL career, all with the Colorado Avalanche franchise dating to 1988 when it was the Quebec Nordiques.

He won two Stanley Cups (1996, 2001), earning the Conn Smythe Tropy in 1996 and the Hart Trophy in 2001.

“As a kid I always dreamed about making the NHL, but never really thought at all about the Hockey Hall of Fame,” Sakic said in a statement released by the Hall of Fame. “I was fortunate to play 20 seasons, which gave me the opportunity to build on my list of accomplishments. Having great teammates and coaches was a key component of this.”

Sundin, also selected in his first year of eligibility, had 564 goals and 785 assists in his 18 seasons.

Hansen going to Olympics OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Brendan Hansen was done with swimming after two doses of Olympic heartache.

He’s feeling a lot better now.

Next stop: London.

Hansen, who retired from the sport after the Beijing Games but couldn’t stay away, made his comeback worthwhile by winning the 100-meter breaststroke at the U.S. Olympic trials Tuesday night.

“2008 was not lot of fun.

I’m having a lot of fun right now,” Hansen said. “I’m back.”

Eric Shanteau is heading back to the Olympics, too, and this time he doesn’t have to worry about battling cancer. He rallied to finish second to Hansen, pumping his fist when he saw his position, slapping hands with the winner, then running across the deck to kiss his wife.

Four years ago, Shanteau beat out Hansen for an individual spot on the team shortly after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. He put off treatment until after the games and has been healthy ever since.

Hansen wasn’t the only swimmer to use the second night of the trials as redemption for Olympic disappointment.

Dana Vollmer, a gold medalist as a teenager in 2004, missed out on the team four years ago while battling injuries and health problems.

It’s all good now. She got off to a blistering start and soared through the water to easily win the 100 butterfly.

“I’m so relieved,” Vollmer said. “It was such an exciting race. I’m really overwhelmed right now.”

And, oh yeah, there was another memorable race between Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps, but there’s a bigger showdown to come.

One night after Lochte beat Phelps in the 400 individual medley, Lochte edged him out again in the semifinals of the 200 freestyle.

That’s just a tuneup for Wednesday night’s final, which figures to be another classic between the world’s two greatest swimmers.

NBA Draft stocked with Wildcats, Tar Heels

By The Associated Press Kentucky and North Carolina appear headed for NBA-first during an Thursday night’s draft.

The two marquee college basketball programs each will likely have four players selected in the first round, starting with UK’s Anthony Davis the all-but-certain No. 1 overall pick.

If that happens, it would be the first time two schools accounted for eight firstrounders possibly in the first 20 picks in the same draft since the NBA went to its current two-round format in 1989. And the number could grow to as high as 10.

Kentucky “brought in a lot of guys, but what was great about the talent was the way they were able to play with each other,” said Ryan Blake, senior director of NBA scouting operations.

“I think that’s what’s so valuable not just the physical skill side, but the ability to play the roles in the team format.

“North Carolina also brought in enormous talent and they were able to work on their games for a number of years. It’s just unusual. I don’t know if it’ll be done again.”

On the Kentucky side, forward Michael KiddGilchrist could go right

behind Davis at No. 2 and doesn’t seem likely to slip out of the top seven. Blake expects forward Terrence Jones to go anywhere from No. 6 to No. 15, while guard Marquis Teague is likely a mid-to-late first-round pick.

As for North Carolina, Blake expects Harrison Barnes to go somewhere between No. 3 and No. 10, long-armed forward John Henson between No. 5 and No. 15, and 7-footer Tyler Zeller between No. 6 and No. 20. Blake said point Kendall Marshall, regarded as one of the top point guards in the draft, is a likely mid-to-late first-rounder.

by Bradley Coomes. Michael Pierce doubled to score Coomes, then Michael Fellers hit an RBI double to

Hughes, Yankees trump Indians NEW YORK (AP) — Phil Hughes bounced back from a rough outing to pitch eight scoreless innings and Alex Rodriguez hit a long home run Tuesday night, leading the New York Yankees to a 6-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians.

Hughes (8-6) gave up six hits and a walk to win for the fifth time in six decisions. He worked with runners on base in five innings.

He lasted only 4 1-3 innings in his previous outing.

Curtis Granderson had a two-run single and Chris Stewart added an RBI hit as several bounces went New York’s way against Justin Masterson (4-7) in the second inning.

The Yankees got a break in the seventh, too, when Yankees left fielder

Dewayne Wise fooled third base umpire Mike DiMuro into thinking he made a stupendous catch flipping into the stands in foul territory down the left field line with two outs and a runner on third base.

After a wait of several seconds for Wise to emerge from the stands, DiMuro called it a catch and birthday boy Derek Jeter was the first to greet Wise. Jeter, of course, made one of his most famous catches diving head first into the stands in left.

Replays, though, showed the ball hitting off Wise’s glove as he fell to the ground and out of view.

Little is going right for the Indians, losers of four straight. In their previous four games Cleveland scored just five runs.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Arizona coach Andy Lopez celebrated the 20th anniversary of his first national championship by winning his second.

It was 1992 when Lopez brought unheralded Pepperdine to the College World Series and beat Cal State Fullerton in the championship game.

Arizona’s sweep of South Carolina in the CWS finals completed with Monday night’s 4-1 victory was not nearly as stunning as what Pepperdine accomplished two decades ago.

The Wildcats (48-17) were the hottest thing going in college baseball the last six weeks.

But believe Lopez when he says he’s soaked up the journey to this title more than he did in winning the first one. The two decades between titles showed him how elusive championships can be.

“When I was 38 years old and I showed up in Omaha and we won the national championship, I had no clue,” he said. “I was a young guy, my kids were all little guys and I was trying to see if I could figure out if I could survive in this profession.

More than ever I do have an appreciation.”

Lopez thought he had a title-caliber team in 2008, but the Wildcats lost a crushing three-game super regional at Miami that he laments to this day.

He was devastated again in 2009 when his team failed to make the national tournament.

A strong recruiting class two years ago formed the core of the team that won Arizona’s first national championship since 1986, and fourth overall.

“They’ve just been a joy,” said Lopez, flanked by his key players. “I mean, how many times have I told you I love suiting up with you guys? Said it today before the game.

And I really do, I like suiting up with young guys that go to class, go to study hall, hustle on the field, clean up the clubhouse on their own.

“I’m extremely, extremely fortunate to be in this profession and work with young people like this.”

Arizona used strong pitching on consecutive nights to sweep the

Gamecocks. James Farris, who hadn’t pitched since June 3, and Mathew Troupe combined to limit the Gamecocks to three hits a night after Konner Wade threw his third straight complete game in a 5-1 win.

Brandon Dixon’s tiebreaking double started a three-run ninth inning for Arizona on Monday.

Dixon, who entered the game as a defensive replacement in the sixth inning, sent a grounder down the third-base line past LB Dantzler’s outstretched glove for his first hit of the CWS.

Nadal, coming off his record seventh French Open title, broke six times and had 35 winners and 18 errors. Having lost in last year’s final to Novak Djokovic, he is bidding for a 12th Grand Slam title.

“I’m very happy to be back on the best court in the world and winning,” Nadal said. “It’s fantastic for me, but I have to improve a lot for the next round.”

Play was later suspended for the day because of rain and poor light, leaving several matches unfinished.

Roddick was leading Britain’s Jamie Baker 7-6 (1), 4-2 on Court 1 when the covers came on. Tenth-seeded Sara Errani, runner-up at the French Open earlier this month, was holding match point in the second set when her match against American qualifier Coco Vandeweghe was halted.

“It was unbelievable to come back here as the defending champion,” said Kvitova, who beat Maria Sharapova in last year’s final. “In the beginning I think I was nervous first match on the grass it’s always difficult to know what you can expect. I had a lot of mistakes and then I tried to play my game and go forward.”

The 6-foot-3 Amanmuradova pushed

Kvitova with her big serve, but lacked the consistency on her ground strokes and has now lost in the first round of all five of her Wimbledon appearances.

Following Kvitova on Centre Court was two-time champion Rafael Nadal, and he found himself in an early hole just as she had.

Nadal was down 4-0 in the opening set, but roared back to beat Brazilian left-hander Thomaz Bellucci 7-6 (0), 6-2, 6-3. The Spaniard closed the match with an ace down the middle, his sixth of the day.

On tape, Sandusky’s son Matt talks abuse STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky’s son Matt recalled showering with his future adoptive father as a boy and pretending to be asleep to avoid being touched, memories that surfaced only recently, according to a police interview that details what are the earliest allegations yet of abuse by the former Penn State assistant football coach.

Matt Sandusky, now 33, said the abuse started at age 8, a decade before he was adopted by the once-herald-

ed defensive coordinator, according to the interview, first reported Tuesday by NBC News.

“If you were pretending you were asleep and you were touched or rubbed in some way, you could just act like you were rolling over in your sleep, so that you could change positions,” Matt Sandusky said in an excerpt played Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” show. His attorneys confirmed the recording’s authenticity to The Associated Press.

Jerry Sandusky was con-

victed last week of 45 counts of abusing 10 boys he met through the charity he founded the same organization that introduced him to Matt Sandusky, who became his foster child. Jerry Sandusky’s principal lawyer did not return messages Tuesday, and another lawyer said only that Matt Sandusky’s allegations contradict testimony he gave to the grand jury whose charges put his father on trial.

Matt Sandusky did not reveal any abuse when he

was initially questioned as a grand jury witness but did release a statement alleging past abuse as the jury was sequestered in deliberations last week.

The police interview tapes are the first time Matt Sandusky’s allegations of sexual abuse have been publicly aired, and too much time has passed for criminal charges. Asked why he was now coming forward on abuse purported to have occurred as early as the late 1980s, Matt Sandusky told police there were several

reasons but singled out his family.

“So that they can really have closure and see what the truth actually is. And just to right the wrong, honestly, of going to the grand jury and lying,” he said in the police interview.

The AP does not identify people alleging sexual assault without their consent. Matt Sandusky’s lawyers named him in a statement released Tuesday to reporters that acknowledged the tapes’ validity.

“Although the tape was

released without Matt’s knowledge or permission, it illustrates that he made the difficult decision to come forward and tell the painful truth to investigators despite extraordinary pressure to support his father,” lawyers Justine Andronici and Andrew Shubin wrote.

Jerry Sandusky hasn’t been charged with abusing Matt, one of six children adopted by the former coach and his wife, Dottie.

Messages left for Sandusky’s other children were not returned.
