WPAFB furlough notices to go out

GIVING

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB — Furlough notices will be sent out to approximately 13,000 civilian workers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base beginning Friday, base officials announced.

The 11 unpaid days off are part of the Air Force’s response to the federal spending cuts known as sequestration.

“Wright Patterson Air Force Base has about 70 percent of our employees that are civilians,” explained 88th Air Base Wing Commander Col. Cassie Barlow, “So, if you can imagine any one day of the week losing 70 percent of your workforce, that’s the biggest concern.

The other concern is that we are going from a 40 hour week back to a 32 hour week.”

Civilian employees will be asked to take one day off a week from June through September. The furloughs would start Sunday, June 16 and last 14 weeks. The number of days was cut back from the original number of 22 days off.

City gets $400k in EPA funds

A H O OT

BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com PIQUA — In the last seven years the city of Piqua has benefited from over $3.7 million in grants to address abandoned or under-utilized industrial or commercial facilities that may pose a risk to environmental standards.

Bill Lutz, Piqua’s development program manager, recently announced another $400,000 in federal funding has been secured through the United States Environmental Protection Agency following a previous assessment of such properties in the city, commonly referred to as brownfields.

Lutz said the city relies on such grants from state and federal sources to ISAAC HALE/STAFF PHOTO assist in redevelopment of such sites.

‘I can’t wait to get started’ Soldier to Lohnes to be new music director at St. Mary Catholic Church PIQUA — Musicality has always come easy for Judith Lohnes who, at age 5, began playing the piano, performing at weddings on the organ in eighth grade and teaching senior citizens how to master the keyboard between her graduate years in college. And, now, the Springfield native is assuming another role as music director at St. Mary Catholic Church in Piqua effective June 1.

Lohnes has spent the past 12 years as music director of St. Teresa Catholic Church, Springfield, and 16 years as elementary music teacher — preschool through sixth grade — at Catholic Central Elementary School. Prior to that time she was a music director and teacher for 15 years at St. Mary Catholic Church in Urbana.

“I can’t wait to get started”, exclaimed Lohnes, whose infectious laugh and warm personality are a welcomed fit to her new position. “I am a cradle Catholic…and my greatest joy is in helping a parish to sing praises to our God. It is important to me that I get to know (parishioners) soon so please feel free to introduce yourself and maybe let me know your favorite hymn.”

Her love of music originated as a kindergartner when she befriended a girl who was learning to play the piano. That

Christmas, Lohnes’ mother bought her a 17-key piano and helped her learn to play with later assistance from several piano teachers throughout primary and secondary school years including lessons at Wittenberg University.

As the youngest of four offspring, Judith Lohnes fondly recalls her childhood and the formation of a family band known as “The Lohnes Zoo Band”. Sister Jane played the viola and clarinet; brother Jim, the violin and saxophone; sister, Joan, the flute and bells, and Judy, the cymbals. Explains Judy “We (family) would play the national anthem at the harness horse races at the fairgrounds”.

An accomplished pianist and organist, Lohnes also enjoys directing a handbell choir and is a “seasoned” choir director. In order to attend college, the skilled musician worked several jobs working in cafeterias/dietary departments at Springfield hospitals while attending Capital University where she earned an undergraduate degree in music magna cum laude. She later earned a master of arts degree in piano pedagogy from Western Illinois University, Macomb, and during her final year of graduate school, taught piano to 15 elderly residents in Springfield. Nowadays, she

LOHNES gives private lessons to several children in their homes.

Between now and June 1, Lohnes is busily packing 12 years’ worth of church and school materials before heading to Piqua to assume a fulltime parish music director position. When asked why she decided to come to Piqua, she enthusiastically responded “Why not Piqua?” An advertisement posted in a Springfield church bulletin motivated her to apply for the St. Mary position.

As part of her new job, Lohnes looks forward to recruiting new parishioners for the church choirs, children’s choirs and developing a bell See Lohnes/Page 2

SEATTLE (AP) — The Army staff sergeant charged with slaughtering 16 villagers during one of the worst atrocities of the Afghanistan war has agreed to plead guilty in a deal to avoid the death penalty, his attorney told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is scheduled to enter guilty pleas to charges of premeditated murder June 5 at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle, said lawyer John Henry Browne. A sentencing-phase trial set for September will determine whether he is sentenced to life in prison with or without the possibility of parole. The judge and the commanding general at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, where Bales is being held, must approve a plea deal.

“The judge will be asking questions of Sgt. Bales about what he did, what he remembers and his state of mind,” Browne said. “The deal that has been worked out … is they take the death penalty off the table, and he pleads as charged, pretty much.”

An army spokesman, Maj. Gary Dangerfield, confirmed that a plea hearing is scheduled in the case for June 5, but said he could not immediately provide other details.

Browne previously indicated Bales remembered little from the night of the massacre, and he said that was true in See Soldier/Page 2

Grants Continued from page 1 the phase I and phase II environmental assessments on brownfield locations in the city where tests will be performed to discern if any environmental contamination or hazard exists.

In addition, Lutz said the assessments will provide “guidance” on any

sort of clean-up, should one be needed.

“It’s an important part of our brownfield,” Lutz said. “It allows us to look at different properties around the town … and get a better handle of how to deal with the clean-up issues that are invovled.”

Lutz added the city has not determined which sites will be assessed at

this point.

Piqua was one of three communities in the state to receive the grant, which shows how competitive the process was.

“For our community to be one of only three communities in the entire state to receive this funding demonstrates our long-term commitment to deal with brownfield de-

velopment,’ Lutz stated.

“For a community our size to receive four separate Clean Ohio grants, a grant from the Center for Disease Control and now an assessment grant from the Environmental Protection Agency all within the last four years shows that our community is serious in dealing with brownfield issues.”

her favorite pastimes include reading, gardening, cake decorating and paper cutting intricate designs.

She also has two pet turtles — both over 40 years old — plus a two-year-old dog. Among her musical preferences are light pop artists such as Josh Groban, Neil Diamond, and Tracy Chapman along

with Hawaiian-born folk rock singer Jack Johnson.

“I also listen to country, which might surprise some people,” smiled Lohnes. “My dad was always a country music fan and, since he passed, I feel closer to him when I listen to the music…especially Rascal Flatts.”

As a former recipient of

“Outstanding Teacher of the Year” in the diocese, Lohnes adds “I’m really looking forward to coming to Piqua and building up the music program at St. Mary’s.” And, she adds, how ironic it that she was hired by the Rev. Tom Bolte, pastor, on May 1 which marks the Feast of St. Joseph, the Worker.

prove any claim of insanity or diminished capacity at the time of the attack, Browne said.

“His mental state does not rise to the level of a legal insanity defense,” Browne said. “But his state of mind will be very important at the trial in September. We’ll talk about his mental capacities or lack thereof, and other factors that were important to his state of mind.”

Bales, an Ohio native and father of two from Tapps, Wash., Lake slipped away from his remote southern Afghanistan outpost at Camp Belambay early on March 11, 2012, and attacked mud-walled compounds in two slumbering villages nearby. He had been

drinking contraband alcohol, snorting Valium that was provided to him by another soldier, and had been taking steroids before the attack.

Testimony at a hearing last fall established that Bales returned to his base between attacking the villages, woke up a fellow soldier and confessed. The soldier didn’t believe him and went back to sleep, and Bales left again to continue the slaughter.

Most of the victims were women and children, and some of the bodies were piled and burned. The slayings drew such angry protests that the U.S. temporarily halted combat operations in Afghanistan. It was three weeks before American investigators could

reach the crime scenes.

Bales was serving his fourth tour in a combat zone, and the allegations against him raised questions about the toll multiple deployments were taking on American troops. For that reason, many legal experts believed it that it was unlikely that he would receive the death penalty, as Army prosecutors were seeking. The military justice system hasn’t executed anyone since 1961.

Nevertheless, the plea deal could inflame tensions in Afghanistan. In interviews with the AP in Kandahar in April, relatives of the victims became outraged at the notion Bales might escape the death penalty and even vowed revenge.

Soldier Continued from page 1 the early days after the attack. But as further details and records emerged, Bales began to remember what he did, the lawyer said, and he will admit to “very specific facts” about the shootings.

Bales is contrite about the killings, Browne said.

The attorney would not elaborate on what his client will tell the judge.

He described Bales as “crazed” and “broken” the night of the attack.

The defense team, including military lawyers assigned to Bales as well as Browne’s co-counsel, Emma Scanlan, eventually determined after having Bales examined by psychiatrists that he would not be able to

U.S. gun debate overlooks daily violence Thousands die annually in shootings, most don’t make national headlines

FBI year veteran police officer, figures show 8,583 people has concerns about the

easy access to handguns for civilians. She is convinced that simply owning a gun made her brother more likely to use it.

Her son and her brother had been out on the town celebrating Stefan’s birthday. When they were heading home, she said, her son tried to stop her brother from driving because the older man was intoxicated. They fought and Carter’s brother pulled a handgun and shot Stefan.

Carter was at a loss to explain how the dispute escalated. The two men had been close; neither was prone to violence, Carter said.

“All I can think is that it was the alcohol and that he had a gun,” she said.

That argument goes counter to rhetoric often cited by U.S. gun advocates who say that gun restrictions can’t stop people who are determined to misuse guns.

What’s more, they argue, such shootings among family members should not deny law-abiding citizens from owning guns for self-protection.

Since the Connecticut school shooting, many gun-rights activists have insisted the solution is for more people to own guns, not fewer. Politicians in some states have proposed laws allowing school teachers to carry guns, arguing that shooters will be less likely to target public places where they know people are armed. Supporters argue that restricting firearms rights will only prevent people from defending themselves from criminals who will find a way to get guns no matter what.

But in Prince George’s County, Carter doesn’t buy the argument that guns make people safer.

Last year, she worked with a county program known as Gift Cards for Guns, which allows people to anonymously turn in their weapons in exchange for a $100 gift card.

Carter said she had not known her brother owned a handgun but was told by police that he had bought it legally.

Maryland recently passed a law that will make it tougher to buy such guns. One of the toughest gun control measures in the country, Maryland’s law requires licensing, fingerprinting, and safety training to purchase a handgun, bans the sale of 45 types of assault weapons and limits ammunition magazine capacity to 10 rounds.

The National Rifle Association, the most powerful gun rights lobby in the country, is expected to challenge the Maryland statute in the courts, delaying its going into force.

Maryland is among several states that passed tougher gun control measures in response to the Connecticut school shooting, even as the push for stricter federal laws died in the Senate.

Among them was Colorado, a state with a proud frontier tradition where gun ownership is common.

That has given hope to some advocates that gun control might be gaining ground despite fierce opposition by the deep-pocketed NRA, which spends heavily in U.S. elections.

Although Republicans and a handful of Democrats in the Senate de-

feated the push for exbackground panded checks, polls at the time showed that about 90 percent of Americans favor such a measure.

Maryland has routinely had the 2nd highest homicide rate per 100,000 residents of all 50 states, despite also having the 5th highest per capita income. It had a gun deaths rate of 6.8 per 100,000 in 2011, more than 2 percentage points higher than the national average of 4.7 per 100,000.

That is due in large part to crime in Prince Georges County and the economically hard-hit city of Baltimore, according to the FBI and Census Bureau. Gun deaths have fallen dramatically in Prince Georges as the county government implements aggressive policies to build up the six most troubled neighborhoods, from programs to keep students in school to better street lighting, road repairs and demolition of abandoned buildings. The number of homicides has fallen from a high of 169 in 2005 to 64 last year.

Homicides are dropping similarly in other U.S. cities, prompting some to argue stricter gun measures are not needed to combat daily violence.

But Prince Georges police chief Mark Magaw has welcomed Maryland’s tough new gun law as a strong crime-fighting tool in his still-violent county.

So does Carter, who told her story at a gathering of other women coping with the loss of family members to gun violence.

They have all been counseled by a group known as Community Advocates for Family and Youth.

Carter, now a board member of the organization, said she was still suffering despite sessions with police department psychologists when she found CAFY. Her husband had died of leukemia just five months before her son was killed.

“I thought, ‘my God couldn’t do that to me,’” she said.

Carter dabbed away tears as she recalled the early December morning 3 years ago when the phone rang with the news of her son’s death.

“My son was my only child. I don’t have any grandchildren, and now I don’t have hope of any,” she said. “My son was two classes short of graduating with a dual degree.”

In the passing weeks, Carter said she noticed that her father appeared increasingly depressed.

She figured it was a natural reaction to the tragedy until he killed himself.

Her brother will be out of prison in about two years, serving a sentence shortened because he accepted a plea deal. Carter doesn’t know if she can forgive him.

“I love my brother. I’ve known him longer than my son. I changed his diapers,” she said. But when he’s released, “I just can’t see us having a relationship.”

Tipp City’s summer concert series coming TIPP CITY — The “Community Night” Summer Concert Series kicks off its 22nd season in downtown Tipp City on Friday, June 7. The concert will be held on North Second Street (this area remains unaffected by the Main Street construction project.) The evening of free music will begin at 6:15 p.m. with The McCrazies, followed by the popular band The Termites at 7:30 p.m.

The McCrazies started at Tippecanoe High School with a few teachers and students jamming for certain school events. The band has now grown and branched out to take their

show to various venues in the Dayton area. The McCrazies mainly play covers that include rock, pop, and blues.

For 25 years, the Termites have kept the classic rock music of the 60s and 70s beating strong. In 1988, two brothers from the Centerville and Kettering areas got together to form the core of the band.

The band blends male and female vocals to create an infectious sound from their impressive 200-plus repertoire of the greatest rock-nroll hits ever.

GED changes are coming

Serving Piqua since 1883

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

(Genesis 1:27 AKJV)

Commentary

Three non-scandals eturn with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when every jackleg news organization in Washington — that is, virtually all of them — was feeding out of Kenneth Starr’s soft little hand like a Shetland pony.

Having recently left the country for a few weeks of media deprivation therapy, I returned to find excited pundits comparing President Obama to Richard M. Nixon on the basis of three transparently bogus White House “scandals” that make Starr’s fabled “Whitewater” investigation look like the crime of the century.

Once again, the word “impeachment” is in the air, as excited GOP congressmen dream of driving a Democratic president from office. Once again, the nation appears to be headed for a fun-filled summer of televised hearings, elaborately feigned indignation, and predictions of dramatic revelations that either never materialize or blow up in their sponsors’ faces.

With luck, we might even see something as funny as the day in 1995 when a partisan S&L regulator who’d planned to market Hillary Clinton-themed “Presidential BITCH”Tshirts from her government office fainted dead-away under cross-examination. The witness had to be carried from a Senate hearing room, never to be heard from again.

Deeply committed to Whitewater humbug, the New York Times, Washington Post and TV networks contrived not to notice.

The good news is that couldn’t happen again.

Today, the ill-fated L. Jean Lewis’ swoon would be all over YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Sure, she’d get her own Fox News talk show, but rationally consequent citGENE LYONS izens wouldn’t have to Columnist watch. The Internet has lessened the ability of scandal entrepreneurs in the Washington media to control the flow of information to the rabble.

Sure, the Internet empowers crackpots. But it also enables in-house bloggers like Paul Krugman and Ezra Klein to bring facts and arguments into the online pages of the high-dollar press that could be censored out of the “mainstream” as recently as the Clinton administration.

So nobody’s getting impeached on this tripartite nonsense, OK? Anyway, let’s take them one at a time: One: Regarding IRS “targeting” of right-wingers, I’m planning to rename my little one-man cattle operation “Tea Party Patriot Farm.” With that on my Schedule C, the IRS won’t DARE to audit my tax returns. I’ll be free to deduct not only feed bills and veterinary expenses, but pizzas, movie tickets, six-packs, whatever. My recent train ride across France? Studying French cattle husbandry techniques at 180 mph.

But see, that’s the thing. Contrary to a thousand indignant screeds and editorial cartoons, no aggrieved Tea Partiers got audited, fined, or jailed. Instead, they saw their applications to turn their political hobbies into tax-free scams — oops, charities — delayed for a few months, on the quite reasonable assumption (from an IRS functionary’s point of view) that an organization named for a political party might actually be one. Boo hoo hoo.

The IRS was politically idiotic, no doubt. But until somebody tracks this to the White House, it’s a big nothingburger.

Meanwhile, my man Charles Pierce quotes the Nixon White House tapes to remind us how a real crook uses the IRS:“Now here’s the point, Bob: please get me the names of the Jews, you know, the big Jewish contributors of the Democrats,” Nixon said. “Could we please investigate some of the [unprintables]?”

Two: Then there’s the Great Benghazi Cover-up. As this column pointed out last December, it’s largely a matter of selective quotation. Nobody at the CIA or State Department who had a hand in preparing Susan Rice’s “talking points” on the Sunday shows knew with any certainty who organized the attack.

And it’s worthwhile pointing out that THEY STILL DON’T KNOW. However, if “extremists elements with heavy weapons” doesn’t say “terrorist” to you, Rice got more specific on CBS’ “Face The Nation”: “Whether they were al-Qaida affiliates, whether they were Libyan-based extremists or al-Qaida itself,” she said, “... is one of the things we’ll have to determine.”

In the interest of keeping this phony scandal alive, everybody’s pretended for months that Rice never said that.

Meanwhile, CBS News’ Major Garrett has reported that partial CIA emails leaked to him by Republican sources turned out — after the originals were released -- to have been doctored to cast suspicion upon the State Department and Hillary Clinton. He didn’t identify the leakers.

But when people resort to faking documents, it’s a good clue that no real evidence of wrongdoing exists. The end.

Three: As for the Associated Press flap, the Los Angeles Times reports that its “disclosure of a counter-terrorism operation in Yemen last year compromised ... an informant who had earned the trust of hardened terrorists.”

If true, that’s perilously close to treason. In which case the Justice Department had every reason to subpoena AP phone records after other means of finding the leaker’s identity failed. Sorry, but journalists have no rights that trump those of ordinary citizens in a serious criminal investigation.

Md. woman’s book chronicles life in death business

BY JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press Sheri Booker was 15 when she got a summer job at a West Baltimore funeral home.

In the beginning, she answered phones and babysat bodies, showing guests into the funeral home’s viewing room. But over the next nine years she was given almost every task, from writing obituaries and driving a hearse to lifting bodies and painting women’s fingernails.

In “Nine Years Under,” Booker describes her life in the death business. The result is alternately creepy and captivating, drawing readers in with the same you-can’t-not-look quality of a highway crash.

Booker’s story revolves around the Albert P. Wylie Funeral Home, a family operation that serves a mostly black clientele. The owner, Al Wylie, is an acquaintance from church and had just buried Booker’s Aunt Mary when he offered her a job.

Saying “yes” puts her at the center of the seemingly never-dull world of the funeral home. On one occasion, Booker listens as two men vow to avenge the murder of their brother while standing over his corpse at a viewing. On another, she finds guests have left a bottle of cognac and a bag of marijuana in a casket. Then there are the friends of a teenage transvestite who died of AIDS who ask that her bra be stuffed because “she had breasts before she got sick” and a daughter who asks that her father look more dead.

Beyond people, Booker also introduces readers to the quirks of the funeral business.

She says that in Maryland, writing on a death certificate in blue ink invalidates it, that insurance companies contest policies less than two years old, and that when a man is dressed in a suit for his funeral, his jacket is often slit up the back to make it easier to get on, the shorn ends then tucked under the deceased’s back.

Booker doesn’t hide anything from readers. She acknowledges that for her first six months she couldn’t enter the funeral home’s viewing room without crying. She admits a longstanding crush on the funeral home owner’s son. And she confesses she once dented the funeral home’s van while going through a McDonald’s drive-thru with a body in the back.

There will be some stiffs who just can’t get past Booker’s subject. Readers who do will find that her story is only partly about dead people. It’s the living ones that make the book.

Title of new Bridget Jones novel revealed LONDON (AP) — Everyone’s favorite literary singleton will return in a new novel entitled “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.” Publishers disclosed the title of Helen Fielding’s forthcoming book on Tuesday.

It continues the comic saga of diarywriting Bridget’s romantic and professional adventures.

The character, introduced to readers in two 1990s’ novels, now must cope with an age of text messaging and social media.

Fielding said Bridget is older now and her “life has moved on. But, the question is, just how much?”

The previous books, “Bridget Jones’s Diary” and “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,” sold 15 million copies between them and were adapted into movies starring Renee Zellweger.

The new book will be published Oct. 10 in Britain by Jonathan Cape, and Oct. 15 in the U.S. by Alfred A. Knopf

Rick Springfield to publish debut novel in 2014 NEW YORK (AP) — Creative writing

Thursday, May 30, 2013

was Rick Springfield’s first love, and he’s returning to it with his debut novel.

A Tuesday news release says the musician-actor will release “Magnificent Vibration” in May 2014 on the Simon & Schuster imprint Touchstone.

Springfield is best known as the multi-platinum “Jessie’s Girl” singer and “General Hospital” star, but his memoir “Late, Late at Night” was a surprise New York Times best-seller. He said in the statement the experience “reminded me how much I love the craft.”

Springfield’s novel is about a toughtimes protagonist who receives a 1-800 phone connection with God through a self-help book. The book comes during a busy period for the musician. He recently participated in Dave Grohl’s “Sound City” documentary and album and appeared on “Californication” and “Hawaii Five-O.”

‘Zero Hour’ exciting addition to NUMA Files series

BY JEFF AYERS Associated Press Clive Cussler and Graham Brown have delivered a nonstop action thriller with “Zero Hour,” the latest in the NUMA (National Underwater and Marine Agency) Files series.

Kurt Austin attends a lecture in Sydney, and soon finds himself immersed in another lifeand-death struggle to save the world.

A boat crashes just outside the Sydney Opera House and a helicopter flying overhead shoots at the passengers inside. Kurt rescues one of the men, and the helicopter crashes into the building. Before the man dies, he gives Kurt sheets of paper and a word: Tartarus. According to Greek mythology, Tartarus is the deepest prison in the underworld, as far below Hades as Heaven is above Earth. Kurt soon uncovers a powerful enemy with a powerful weapon.

NUMA Files fans will relish appearances by other Cussler characters including Dirk Pitt and Adm. James Sandecker. Other NUMA Files regulars like Paul Trout and his wife are given little to do, but that’s fine in the overall scope of the novel.

“Zero Hour” may not be the best NUMA Files novel in the series, but it’s the most exciting.

‘Conspiracy of Faith’ is chilling Nordic thriller

BY JEFF AYERS Associated Press A message in a bottle propels Detective Carl Morck and his team from Department Q, a special branch of the Copenhagen Police Department that examines cold-case crimes, into a bizarre case in Jussi Adler-Olsen’s latest pageturning psychological thriller, “A Conspiracy of Faith.”

The bottle has been sitting on a shelf for years, and the message inside has withered due to exposure to sunlight.

What can be deciphered is the first word: Help. The rest is nothing but random letters. Can Morck and his team figure out who wrote the letter and, if it’s not a hoax, whether the author is still alive?

Adler-Olsen also tells the story of a housewife named Mia. Her husband works in a job that keeps him away from home for long stretches of time. She begins to question what he’s doing when he’s gone.

The heroes and villains of “A Conspiracy of Faith” are compelling, and it’s impossible to put down the book even though, at times, it’s difficult to read because of the sheer terror of the scene the author is describing.

This is the third book in a series that includes “The Keeper of Lost Causes” and “The Absent One,” but newcomers won’t feel lost.

■ Contract Bridge — By Steve Becker

Haste makes waste

Let’s say you’re West, defending against two spades. You lead the king of hearts, partner signaling with the eight, continue with the ace and play a third heart, which South ruffs.

Declarer cashes the A-K of trumps and plays four rounds of clubs, on which he discards two diamonds.

Whether or not you ruff the last club, South winds

up making the contract with an overtrick, losing only a trump, two hearts and a diamond.

Afterward, you realize that if you had defended differently, you could have done quite a bit better.

When partner played the eight of hearts at trick one -- a signal which, in view of the bidding, obviously denoted possession of the queen -- you could have led the three of hearts next rather than the ace.

Had you done so, you would have been well-rewarded. East would have won with the queen and returned a diamond, allowing you to grab three diamond tricks and thereby defeat the contract.

The deal illustrates

that a defender must always be ready to adapt his plays to the situation at hand. While it is true that a defender who leads the king from an A-K combination normally continues with the ace if he decides to play the suit again, this is by no means an invariable rule.

East’s play of the eight in the present case, after having supported hearts, should be taken as a guarantee of the queen, and West should have no compunctions about underleading the ace at trick two in order to coax a diamond return from East at trick three.

DEAR ABBY: I am friendly with a married couple. The husband, “Grant,” is my best friend and we talk about everything. His wife, “Sharon,” and I are equally close.Their wedding date was last summer.

I have known for a while that Grant didn’t want to get married. He did it to please everyone around him.Sharon, however, was elated. He hoped that after the wedding his feelings would change.

Now they have been married for nine months Grant tells me he can’t continue on, that he is unhappy and no longer wants to be married.

I have begged and pleaded with him to level with Sharon.

He keeps making excuses about why he hasn’t told her yet. He says he’ll do it — but each day he moves the discussion further and further back.

When I talk with her,she tells me she has the feeling he doesn’t want to be married anymore. Please help. This is stressing me out. I want to let Grant tell her, but I feel I should say something because he hasn’t. At the same time, I don’t want to have anyone mad at me.What should I do?

— CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE DEAR CAUGHT: Step back and keep your mouth shut.You are in a no-win situation. It is Grant’s job to find the courage to tell his wife he made a mistake by marrying her. While it may be painful for her to hear, it probably won’t come as a shock, from what she’s telling you. You help neither of them by letting them discuss their marital problems with you instead of with each other. So do them both a favor and remove yourself from the middle.

nothing more than to be a fully functioning adult, but I am exhausted from trying my hardest to feel better internally only to find myself where I started.

What’s your best advice for young adults dealing with crippling mental illness? How can we live our lives without fear of being rejected or shunned for our illness?

— FRUSTRATED IN WASHINGTON

DEAR FRUSTRATED: There is still ignorance, stigma and fear about mental illness mostly because it is misunderstood. However, 50 percent of adults will have a diagnosable mental illness at some time in their lives — including the ones you have. I discussed your letter with Dr. David Baron, psychiatrist in chief at the University of Southern California hospital.

He suggested that I stress to you the importance of finding a mental health professional you can trust and confide in, and have another thorough evaluation done. In recent years newer drugs and therapies are being used which may help you,so youshouldn’t give up. In a case like yours, a combination of medication and talk therapy can be help-

Fragments of biblical treasure are up for sale

BY DANIEL ESTRIN Associated Press

DAN BALILTY/AP PHOTO

An Israel Antiquities Authority employee works on fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls in Jerusalem on May 10. Written mostly on animal skin parchment about 2,000 years ago, the manuscripts are the earliest copies of the Hebrew Bible ever found, and the oldest written evidence of the roots of Judaism and Christianity in the Holy Land. events of the 20th century.

Scholarly debate over the scrolls’ meaning continues to stir high-profile controversy, while the Jordanian and Palestinian governments have lodged their own claims of ownership.

But few know of the recent gold rush for fragments — or Israel’s intelligence-gathering efforts to track their sale.

Written mostly on animal skin parchment about 2,000 years ago, the manuscripts are the earliest copies of the Hebrew Bible ever found, and the oldest written evidence of the roots of Judaism and Christianity in the Holy Land.

They are also significant because they include the Hebrew originals of non-canonical writings that had only survived in ancient translations, and because they prove that multiple versions of Old Testament writings circulated before canonization around 100 AD. While some of the scrolls are nearly identical to the traditional Hebrew text of the Old Testament, many contain significant variations.

The scrolls were well preserved in their dark, arid caves, but over the centuries most fell apart into fragments of various sizes.

Israel regards the scrolls a national treasure and keeps its share of them in a secure, climate-controlled, government-operated lab on the Israel Museum campus in Jerusalem. Pnina Shor, who oversees the antiquities authority’s scroll collection,said the trove of fragments is so numerous — at least 10,000 — that staff haven’t finished counting them all. Israel has been criticized for limiting scholarly access, but is partnering with Google to upload images of scrolls online.

How most of the Dead Sea Scrolls ended up in Israeli hands is a tale that begins with a Bedouin shepherd who cast a stone inside a dark cave and heard the sound of something breaking. He found clay jars, some with rolled-up scrolls inside.

After a return visit, he and his Bedouin companions had found a total of seven scrolls.

They sold three of them through an antiquities dealer

to a Hebrew University professor, and four to William Kando’s father, a Christian cobbler in Bethlehem who in turn sold them to the archbishop of the Assyrian Orthodox church.

On the eve of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, the archbishop smuggled the scrolls to the U.S. and advertised them in a Wall Street Journal classifieds ad. Yigael Yadin, Israeli war hero and later one of Israel’s pre-eminent archaeologists, bought them through a front man.

For the next decade, archaeologists dug up thousands more scroll fragments in Dead Sea area caves and began to assemble them, like a jigsaw puzzle, in the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum in east Jerusalem,then ruled by Jordan. Bedouins also found fragments and sold them to Kando, who in turn sold most of them to the museum. Other fragments went to Jordanian and French state collections, and universities in Chicago,Montreal and Heidelberg, Germany.

In the 1967 Mideast war,

Israel seized the Rockefeller collection, and sent soldiers to Bethlehem in the West Bank, 8 kilometers (5 miles) south of Jerusalem, where Kando was rumored to hold another important scroll.

After a brief imprisonment, Kando revealed the parchment scroll in a shoe box under a floor tile in his bedroom, and sold it to Israeli authorities for $125,000, according to a written account

by Yadin.

It is called the Temple Scroll, because it partly describes the construction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. At 8.15 meters (26.7 feet) long, it is the longest ever found.

But Kando held much more than he surrendered to Israel. William, his son, said his father had fragments tucked away which he eventually transferred to Switzerland in the mid-1960s.

In 1993,just as scholars finally began publishing research of Israeli-held scrolls, and the world was abuzz with Dead Sea Scroll fever, Kando died, bequeathing his secret collection of fragments

JERUSALEM (AP) — Parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls are up for sale — in tiny pieces.

Nearly 70 years after the discovery of the world’s oldest biblical manuscripts, the Palestinian family who originally sold them to scholars and institutions is now quietly marketing the leftovers — fragments the family says it has kept in a Swiss safe deposit box all these years.

Most of these scraps are barely postage-stamp-sized, and some are blank. But in the last few years, evangelical Christian collectors and institutions in the U.S. have forked out millions of dollars for a chunk of this archaeological treasure. This angers Israel’s government antiquities authority, which holds most of the scrolls, claims that every last scrap should be recognized as Israeli cultural property,and threatens to seize any more pieces that hit the market.

“I told Kando many years ago, as far as I’m concerned, he can die with those scrolls,” said Amir Ganor, head of the authority’s anti-looting squad, speaking of William Kando, who maintains his family’s Dead Sea Scrolls collection. “The scrolls’ only address is the State of Israel.”

Kando says his family offered its remaining fragments to the antiquities authority and other Israeli institutions, but they could not afford them.

“If anyone is interested, we are ready to sell,” Kando told The Associated Press, sitting in the Jerusalem antiquities shop he inherited from his late father. “These are the most important things in the world.”

The world of Holy Land antiquities is rife with theft, deception, and geopolitics, and the Dead Sea Scrolls are no exception.

Their discovery in 1947, in caves by the Dead Sea east of Jerusalem, was one of the greatest archaeological

to his sons.

It was the perfect time to sell.

Norwegian businessman Martin Schoyen, a 73-yearold collector of biblical manuscripts, purchased his first Dead Sea Scroll fragment a year later,saidTorleif Elgvin, a scholar with the Schoyen Collection. He eventually purchased a total of 115 fragments, many of them from Kando and some from an American scholar and a British scholar who kept them as souvenirs in the early days after their discovery.

A few years ago, Schoyen suffered financial losses in a business investment and could not afford to continue collecting scrolls,said Elgvin.

William Kando then took his business to the U.S., startling manuscript collectors who didn’t know there was any scroll material still available for purchase.

“These were the hurdles I had to pass with collectors in America,” said Lee Biondi, a California dealer who sold pieces on behalf of Kando.

“The impossibility of it; people saying, ‘you can’t get a Dead Sea Scrolls fragment.

That’s impossible.’”

In 2009, Asuza Pacific University, an evangelical Christian college near Los Angeles, bought five fragments, along with biblical antiquities, for $2,478,500, according toAzusa’s 2010 tax form. The college said it had purchased the fragments through Biondi and a private collection. Kando told The Associated Press he was the source of all the fragments.

Ready for state Montgomery advances

So, entering the regional finals in the discus Wednesday at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field needing to uncork one of his best throws, Montgomery was up to the challenge to earn a berth in next week’s state tournament.

“I only threw 146 in the prelims,” Montgomery said. “I knew I needed a throw in the 150s. I think the biggest difference from last year is experience. I am more prepared for situations like this.”

On his second throw in the finals, Montgomery threw over 150-feet to move into fourth place. He secured his berth in Columbus with a throw of 154-4 on his final attempt, moving up to third.

“It was a PR by two inches,” Montgomery said.

Newton can’t hold lead Triad ends Indians run

BY COLIN FOSTER Civitas Media TIPP CITY — Nobody may have expected the Newton softball team to be in the position they were in Thursday, playing Triad in the Division IV regional semifinal.

But there the Indians were, holding a 5-4 lead on the Cardinals in the bottom of the fifth inning, just nine outs away from punching their ticket to the regional final.

Just one inning prior, Newton had averted disaster as pitcher Kirsten Burden worked her way out a jam with the goahead run on second. In the fifth, however, the Cardinals cashed in on their chance.

With one out in the inning, Macie Jenkins doubled to give Triad its first baserunner. Then Jenna Ober hit a grounder to Newton shortstop Megan Rutledge, who failed on her attempt to get the lead runner at third.

Chelsea Price doubled to tie up the game before Cierra Puckett smacked a two-run double, which proved to be the gamewinning hit as the Cardinals escaped with a 7-5 victory Thursday in Tipp City.

“No we didn’t (expect to be here),” Newton coach Kirk Kadel said. “Maybe it showed up a couple times in the game. We had a couple of times when we should have just taken an out, and we tried to make a great play. But you can’t fault them for that, for trying to be aggressive and trying to get after it. I think the more mature team understands what to do in certain situations.

“But nobody expected us to be here, especially back in the middle of the year when we were like 87 and struggling to find our identity. But they all came together as a team, and that was the big, big thing that made us successful. We started playing well, playing good defense, and it just kind of went from there. I was really pleased with what they did this year.”

After Triad scored in the home first, Newton responded with two runs in

the second, with Tiara Jackson knocking home Kasey Thompson, who singled to open the inning.

Two batters later, McKell Deaton hit a double to score Jackson and give Newton a 2-1 lead.

And the Indians built on that lead in the top of the third, courtesy of a Triad error and a big hit

by Kirsten Burden. With one on and two outs, Thompson hit a lazy pop fly in between the pitcher and first baseman, but the defense let the ball drop, leaving runners on second and third. Burden came through with a clutch single to give Newton a 4-1 lead.

But Triad pulled closer in the bottom of the fourth, loading the bases to begin the inning, before Puckett brought in two runs with her first double of the game. The Cardinals tried a suicide squeeze on the next atbat, but Kirsten Burden was able field the ball and get the runner at the plate. With the go-ahead runner still in scoring position, Burden forced two straight fly outs to end the inning and keep the Indians on top.

It was the final game in the career of Burden, who was the primary starting pitcher for Newton’s state championship team when she was a freshman and all three years after that.

In the top of the fifth, though, the wheels came off for the young Indians and they could never recover. Triad pitcher Hannah Watkins was flawless over the last three innings, holding Newton to just one hit during that stretch and allowing just one baserunner.

“We made some mistakes,, and they took advantage of them, too,” Kadel said. “They hit the ball well, and they’re a well-coached team. We just couldn’t seem to get a break when we needed it.

I thought we had a chance early in the game to bury them a little deeper, and we didn’t quite do it.

Whenever you leave a good team like that around, they’re going to get you.

“That’s kind of what happened.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — Justin Masterson pitched six solid innings, Jason and Mark Giambi Reynolds homered, and the Cleveland Indians broke a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.

Masterson (8-3) worked out of a bases-loaded jam with nobody out in the sixth to preserve a 2-1 lead. Cincinnati's only run off the right-hander came on Joey Votto's two-out homer in the first.

Giambi's three-run homer in the sixth off Bronson Arroyo (5-5) pushed the margin to four runs for Cleveland, which scored only 14 runs during the skid.

Reynolds' homer to lead off the third tied the game before Nick Swisher's RBI double gave the Indians a 2-1 lead in the fourth.

■ Xavier Paul singled home a pair of runs in the first inning, and the Cincinnati Reds completed a two-game home sweep of the Cleveland Indians with an 8-2 victory on Tuesday night that was free of any up-and-in acrimony.

The intrastate rivals headed to Cleveland for two more games. The Indians lead the all-time series 42-41.

The Reds have won 14 of their past 17 games overall, leaving them with the second-best record in the majors at 33-19. They trail NL Central-leading St. Louis.

Cleveland has dropped five straight — matching its season high — and seven of eight.

Mat Latos (5-0) handled a slumping lineup, allowing one run in 6 1-3 innings. The Indians have been outscored 33-14 during their losing streak.

The Reds had 18 hits, one shy of their season high.

Paul's two-run single put the Reds ahead 3-0 in the first against Zach McAllister (4-4). The Reds added four in the seventh against Cleveland's struggling bullpen, with Derrick Robinson and Zack Cozart contributing RBI singles.

Cincinnati's Brandon Phillips and Shin-Soo Choo were hit on Tuesday, but went to first without complaint or warning from plate umpire Chad Fairchild.

“That may be the strength of our team. But, I like our hitting as well.

As always, Roberts expects to learn a lot in the first couple weeks.

The goal is the same this season — but the path will be a little different.

Two leagues have combined, so the district tournament will include Piqua, Troy, Sidney and Lima.

Post 184 is looking to return to the state tournament, after having a three-year run ended last season.

“That is always our goal — to get to Lancaster,” Roberts said. “With the two leagues combining, it should be a good tournament.”

■ Several local boys just missed qualifying for state Wednesday.

The Covington foursome of Dustin Fickert, Matt Carder, Nathan Dunn and Alex Schilling finished seventh in the 3,200 relay, 8:28.39.

Hard work rewarded for York, Winner Dunvian, Russia relay advance

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com Amanda Versailles’ Winner and Russia’s Bethany York had worked too hard to be denied.

So, both will be competing in the Division III state track and field meet in the high jump after finishing second and fourth in the Division III regional meet at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field Wednesday.

Miami East’s Leah Dunivan advanced in the high jump, while Russia’s 3,200-meter relay team (Lauren Francis, Claire Sherman, Emily Borchers, Lauren Heaton) also advanced.

For Winner, it was a chance to erase some frustration.

After being injured late in her freshman year, she had failed to advance last year as a sophomore.

All four girls who advanced to state, cleared 53.

“It feels great,” Winner said. “It was definitely a goal. It seemed a little iffy at the start of the year.

Then, things started to click in the middle of the season.”

Five girls had cleared 52 and after missing her first attempt at 5-3, Winner got the height on her second attempt.

“I was hoping that would be good enough,” Winner said. “I cleared 55 as a freshman, so that is definitely something I am shooting for next week.”

For York, 18 months of hard work was rewarded.

After finishing ninth in the state in the high jump as a sophomore, clearing 5-2, York suffered an ACL injury in basketball her junior year.

And as recently as a month ago, York was struggling to return to her old form.

“We just did a complete redo about four weeks ago,” York said. “Because, what I was doing up to that point, clearly wasn’t working.”

York changed her approach and the results were almost instant.

“Instead of running in straight line, I circle around and do some bounds when I am running,” York said.

Still, it came down to one jump Wednesday.

Three girls had cleared 5-4 and York and Delphos St. John’s Alyssa Faurot

York jumped first and cleared the height — and when Faurot missed, York was headed back to state. was kind of “It nervewracking,” York said.

“I knew if I wanted to see Jessie Owens (Stadium) again, I had to make that jump. When I made it, it was an exhilarating feeling.”

York has high hopes for next week.

“I want to get the school record, which is 5-6,” York said. “So, if could whip that out next week, that would be great.”

■ For most people, qual-

ifying for state for the third time in four years would be satisfying.

But, then again,Dunivan is not most athletes.

Dunivan was expecting to qualify in both the high jump and shot put Wednesday.

But, after finishing sixth in the high jump at 5-foot, Dunivan responded in the shot put, finishing third with a distance of 38-6. She uncorked that on her first throw in prelims.

“Obviously, I am disappointed (about the high jump),” Dunivan said.

“But, that is exactly what the coaches said (before the shot put). I just needed to get refocused.”

And, as always, Dunivan will take high expec-

tations to the state meet.

“I still have some more distance — I don’t know about a lot more,” she said. “The goal is always to win. As my coaches tell me, it is important to stay realistic. I definitely want to get on the podium.”

■ The Russia girls 3,200-meter relay team came in with the fastest qualifying time from the district meets.

And, while the Lady Raiders lowered that team, they finished third in 9:45.95.

“Winning would have been nice,” Borchers said.

“But, getting to state is the big thing.”

Covington elected to run its fastest two runner on the first two legs, opening a sizeable lead.

But, Russia stayed the course and eventually passed Covington on the anchor leg.

“We had a plan and we stayed with it,” Francis said. “I think it does help (with the other events they run at regional). Just knowing we have already qualified for state.”

Sherman, who ran the second leg, is at state for the first time.

“It is a big accomplishment,” she said. “We set this as a goal and we were able to do it.”

For Heaton, who ran the anchor, it was an impressive debut at the regional meet for the freshman.

“We weren’t worried (about Covington),” Heaton said. “It feels great

to be going to state.”

The Covington foursome of Tara Snipes, Carly Shell, Julianna Yingst and Hannah Retz suffered a heartbreaking fifth-place finish in 9:56.01.

Shay Lafollette of Bradford had an eighth-place finish in the high jump, clearing 4-10.

■ Covington junior Jackie Siefring showed what she was made of Wednesday.

After false starting in the 100 hurdles, Siefring advanced to the finals in the 100 (12.90) and turned in the fastest time in the 300 hurdles, 45.32.

Advancing in the 100 hurdles were LaFollette and Leah Francis with the second and third fastest times, 15.51 and 15.75, respectively.

■ Lehman’s Sarah Titterington and Miami East’s Corrine Melvin both will be busy Saturday.

Titterington had the second fastest time in the 100, 12.84; third fastest time in the 400, 58.43; and sixth fastest time in the 200, 26.81.

Melvin will run in four events Saturday.

She advanced in the 100, 12.93; 200, 26.70; teamed with Kelly Rindler, Renee DeFord and Kylie Brown to advance in the 800 relay, 1:48.49; and with Lindsey Roeth, Emily Holicki and Allie Millhouse in the 400 relay, 51.45.

■ Heaton had the fastest time in the 400, 57.80; and ran on the 800 relay (with Francis, Voisard and Kirstin Kaylie Dues) that advanced in 1:47.25.

The Russia 400 relay (Hannah Bornhorst, Francis, Kirstin Voisard, Kaitlyn Barlage) also advanced to the finals, 51.43.

■ Amanda Winner advanced in the 400 for the Tigers, 59.23; and Versailles also advanced three relays to Saturday’s finals.

The 400 relay (Lauren Bohman, Gwen Keihl, Megan Hemmelgarn, Haley Winner), 50.08; and the 800 relay (Bohman, Keihl, Taylor Winner, Amanda Winner), 1:45.31 both had the fastest times.

The 1,600 relay (Taylor Winner, Haley Winner, Meagan Winner, Amanda Winner) had the fifth fastest time, 4:09.65.

Field events will start at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, while running events will start at 2:30 p.m.

Golf has found media spotlight Nicklaus sees different era DUBLIN (AP) — Jack Nicklaus only has to look at some of the clashes on the PGA Tour in recent months to see how far golf has come since he was in his prime.

That's not necessarily a good thing.

"We were trying to figure out how to get somebody to write about anything when we played," Nicklaus said Wednesday on the eve of the Memorial. "I think today you have to figure out how you keep somebody from writing about anything. It's a big difference."

Vijay Singh is suing the PGA Tour over its antidoping policy. A small

group of players has retained a lawyer over the new rule involving long putters. And the dispute getting all the attention is Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia, who didn't hide their dislike for each other until it reached a point last week that Garcia made a comment with racial overtures about Woods.

"The Sergio-Tiger thing, I mean, it's stupid," Nicklaus said. "Do guys have an issue one with another? They usually resolve it themselves. You guys want to resolve it in the newspapers today. Nobody needs that. And I think they both finally said, 'It's enough. Forget it, guys. Let's move on.' In our days, I suppose there were times when you had an issue with somebody

What followed were his first public comments, though they were sparse.

"Was I supposed to go to Wentworth?" Woods said jokingly.

Asked if he would allow Garcia to reach him on the phone to be done with the matter before getting to Merion, Woods said, "That's already done with."

Did that mean Garcia apologized to him?

"Not in person, no," he said.

and it came about. You never read about it."

The Woods-Garcia spat turned ugly last week when Garcia was jokingly asked at a European Tour dinner outside London if he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open. Trying to go along with the sarcasm, the Spaniard said he would serve fried chicken.

Garcia apologized that night in a statement and the next day in a news conference, though he said he had been unable to reach Woods over the phone.

Woods was asked Wednesday if he considered getting in touch with

The Vox Stomplab IIG is a guitar sound effects pedal with preset sounds. viding the same cleaning material wrapped around a beanbag-like wedge that also serves as a stand for your phone, ereader or tablet. It’s a lot better than laying your device down flat on a desk and risking scratching up its back.

Toddy will even customize the cloths with photos of the kids, the family or Kate Upton. I mean Mom, of course.

Vox StompLab 2G ($90, Vox Amplification Ltd.) and the Korg Wi-Tune ($100, Korg): Many dads have a hearty guitar habit. Longing for the era of their favorite music, they sit around puttering at “Stairway to Heaven” with some Metallica licks thrown in for good measure. But Dad could and should sound better.

To that end, the Vox StompLab 2G is a soundeffects pedal with preset sounds. Dad can simply plug his guitar into it and play rock, blues, metal and variations of each with the proper tone. Guitar pedals such as the StompLab can, for instance, give an electric guitar a crisp jazz sound as opposed to the sound of distorted grunge music.

But it usually takes several pedals to cover the wide range of styles. The StompLab offers dozens of effects with just one pedal. Just press on it and use dials and knobs to choose the effect. The heavy metal overdrive effects are the best.

If out-of-tune instruments are Dad’s real bugaboo, Korg has the cure with Wi-Tune, a wireless tuner. The small transmitter clips on to a guitar or other instrument. A receiver, about the size of a deck of cards, rests nearby. The receiver has a screen that will tell Dad if he’s flat or sharp and what the nearest note is. The Wi-Tune can also generate tones if Dad prefers to tune his instrument by ear. It’s sharply designed and has a backlit display for use in low light. (The StompLab has a built-in tuner, so you won’t need Wi-Tune as well if you get that.)

Nikon D7100 ($1,600 with the 18-105 millimeter kit lens or $1,200 for the body only, Nikon Corp.): If Dad is still using phones or point-and-shoot

cameras, now is the time to set him on the right path. Splurge on the Nikon D7100, a full-powered, interchangeablelens camera commonly known as a DSLR, for digital single-lens reflex. The D7100 offers so much value, it’s hard to know where to begin.

Consider its 51-point auto-focus system. This could quickly become Dad’s best friend, despite the fact that he’ll learn more about proper shooting by going into full manual mode. The auto focus is fast and accurate.

The D7100 has a 24megapixel sensor that delivers vivid contrast and color in default mode, without any custom setting enhancements. Ergonomically, if feels good in the hands and is light enough not to wear down your wrists when shooting over a long period of time.

It also shoots full highdefinition video at 1,920 by 1,080 pixels. In my tests, it tracked the motion of my scrambling dog nicely without any noticeable blurring. It offers a steep range of ISO speeds for low-light photography, though I found anything beyond ISO 2000 susceptible to an uncomfortable level of image degradation.

Still, the D7100 is a winner at this price point.

Other notable features include dual SD card slots, solid stereo sound recording and an HDMI-out port for viewing captured images and video on a TV or other large screen.

HoldFast Ruck Strap ($150, HoldFast LLC) and leather leash ($45): The hands-down sexiest accessories for toting around your coveted camera gear comes from a small outfit called HoldFast. These hand-crafted leather and cotton camera straps are tough and handsomely designed.

Made in Stillwater, Okla., HoldFast’s Ruck Strap offers a comfortable leather shoulder pad area and strong leather-andbrass-buckle clasps to keep a good tether on your gear. The Ruck Strap adds a nice rustic touch to the photo bag. It also sports a buttoned pouch for carrying an extra memory card or business cards.

The company also sells a stylish simple leather

leash that can be affixed to the tripod screw hole in the base of most DSLRs and compact cameras for a more minimalist approach. The leash will take up less space in Dad’s camera bag and on his arm.

PowerFlask ($90, Digital Treasures): With all of this hightech gear, Dad needs a dependable way to keep things powered up. The PowerFlask is up to the task. It looks like a leather-bound drinking flask that fits nicely in the back pocket. But what’s inside isn’t booze.

It’s a 13,000 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, with USB ports for charging as many as three devices at a time.

Although it won’t do any good for gadgets that require regular wall sockets, many devices such as smartphones, tablets, ereaders and GPS watches can be charged with USB. If Dad is on a long hike or otherwise away from an outlet, the PowerFlask has him covered in case of an emergency.

— GolfSense ($130, GolfSense Inc.): No Father’s Day gift guide would be complete without something to help Dad break 100 on the golf course. GolfSense is a small device that clips on to a golf glove and analyses the player’s swing. It measures the speed of the swing, the plane and arc of the swinging motion and the tempo. The information is then transmitted to a phone or a tablet, where Dad can quickly view results in an app. Dad can use it at the driving range or during a real round of golf for feedback that is more specific than a buddy telling him, “I think you sliced it.”

I found the swing plane analysis helpful in letting me know whether I was dipping my body too low on my downstroke, which causes me to carve up too much earth instead of striking the ball. The tempo data, however, is the gold mine. Middling golfers tend to get excited and rush their swing at the ball. GolfSense offers key visual reminders and can illustrate for Dad where his swing is getting too fast and unwieldy. The app works for both Apple and Android smartphones,

ATLANTA (AP) — Father’s Day gifts have morphed over the years. It used to be a tie, a golf hat or a jazz CD. But dads are more tech-savvy these days.

There are plenty of new gadgets on the market to keep them busy, regardless of their interest or hobbies. The cool new products we’ve selected range in price from $10 to $1,600. There are music players for the shower, tools to help the budding guitarist and even a flask that doesn’t hold alcohol.

We know what our fathers like. Here’s a guide to some tech gifts that may help them do what they like even better.

Moxie ($200, Kohler Co.) Your dad is likely going to tilt his head to inspect this gadget, then laugh a bit at it, then love it. The Moxie is a waterproof, wireless speaker snookered into a specially designed showerhead and held in place by magnets.

The showerhead mounts onto the common pipes found in most shower plumbing hardware, but similarities to a regular showerhead end there.

One button turns it on.

The speaker then plays music from your smartphone or tablet via a Bluetooth wireless connection. Sound quality is exceptional, and the build and look of the Moxie is top notch.

Buy earplugs if you can’t stand Dad singing along.

VivoTab Smart ($500, AsusTek Computer Inc.): If you want to spring for a new tablet computer for Dad, but think the iPad is too commonplace, you would do well to consider the VivoTab Smart from Asus. It offers a vivid, 10.1-inch display, plenty of social networking apps and the bonus of running the Windows 8 operating system for more demanding applications. This is the full version of Microsoft’s system, not the lightweight Windows RT that can run only apps specifically designed for it.

I’m not totally in love with Windows 8 and its new interface for regular computing, but Windows 8 is slick for tablet use.

The response in swiping from one application to the next is lightning fast and intuitive. There are plenty of free and paid apps for Windows 8, and the list is growing.

The VivoTab Smart is light and well designed. It comes with a thin, wireless keyboard and a sleeve that doubles as a stand for the tablet. It has a powerful Intel processor and Bluetooth to keep Dad connected to the aforementioned Moxie, or similar wireless speakers.

One of the best features is the camera. The tablet’s 8-megapixel camera boasts an impressive F/2.2 aperture lens for low-light shooting. The sample images I took with it easily trumped my 8-megapixel smartphone photos.

Toddy Smart Cloth ($10, Toddy Gear) and the Toddy Wedge ($15): All that texting and swiping can take its toll in the form of oily finger smudges on your tablet or smartphone. Here’s a better solution than cleaning it with a T-shirt: a microfiber cleaning cloth with colorful and customizable designs. A few quick circles wiped away all the smudges from several devices I dirtied up.

The Toddy Wedge goes one step further in pro-

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, May 31, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) By working behind the scenes, you can make positive changes and clean up something, perhaps related to shared property, taxes or inheritances. People with influence will listen to you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions with an older female or someone in a position of authority might cause you to rethink your ideas about politics or religion. You might see things in a new light.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Give serious thought to your life's direction. Specifically, take a realistic look at what support from others you can count on, or not. This could be a deciding factor.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Long-range travel plans look doable today. However, someone close to you might want you to make changes. No worries -- these changes likely will be for the better.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might look with new eyes on an arrangement regarding shared property or anything you own jointly with others. Now you see a better way to do things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Sit down with someone close to you and make future plans, especially about dealing with children, or perhaps how to improve vacation plans.

Look at all angles today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You can introduce improvements at work today, and others will agree with you. You might even extend your ideas to your own home life. Why not?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) New romance might begin for some of you today. If so, it will be powerful and quite possibly with someone who is older or more established.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You're in the mood to make sweeping improvements at home. You want to get rid of what is no longer relevant or necessary. Out with the old, in with the new!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Sit down with someone to discuss longrange plans for the future. These plans might affect your closest relationships or even your appearance and how you dress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be on the lookout for a new job or way to earn money on the side. Others might see new uses and applications for something they already own.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might get advice from someone older and more experienced today. If so, truly listen. Someone in a group, someone powerful, might say something that can help you in the future.

YOU BORN TODAY You have an exterior that conveys an image of being tough and cool. But in fact, you are sweet and sentimental. Nevertheless, when needed you are strong, capable and down to earth, and you get results.

In this respect, you're a self-assured straight shooter. You're also adaptable and resourceful. A lovely, social year ahead awaits you. (All your relationships will improve.)
