Phone-records monitoring laid bare

BY NANCY BENAC Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A leaked document has laid bare the monumental scope of the government’s surveillance of Americans’ phone records hundreds of millions of calls in the first hard evidence of a massive data collection program aimed at combating terrorism under powers granted by Congress after the 9/11 attacks.

At issue is a court order,

first disclosed Thursday

by The Guardian newspaper in Britain, that requires the communications company Verizon to turn over on an “ongoing, daily basis” the records of all landline and mobile telephone calls of its customers, both within the U.S. and between the U.S. and other countries.

Intelligence experts said the government, though not listening in on calls, would be looking for patterns that could lead to

terrorists and that there was every reason to believe similar orders were in place for other phone companies.

Some critics in Congress, as well as civil liberties advocates, declared that the sweeping nature of the National Security Agency program disclosed Thursday represented an unwarranted intrusion into Americans’ private lives. But a number of lawmakers, including some Republicans who

normally jump at the chance to criticize the Obama administration, lauded the program’s effectiveness. Leaders of the House Intelligence Committee said the program had helped thwart at least one attempted terrorist attack in the United States, “possibly saving American lives.”

Separately, The Washington Post and The Guardian reported late Thursday the existence of another program used by

the NSA and FBI that scours the nation’s main Internet companies, extracting audio, video, phoemails, tographs, documents and connection logs to help analysts track a person’s movements and contacts. It was not clear whether the program, called PRISM, targets known suspects or broadly collects data from other Americans.

The companies include Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL,

Skype, YouTube and Apple. The Post said PalTalk has had numerous posts about the Arab Spring and the Syrian civil war. It also said Dropbox would soon be included.

One outraged senator, Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said of the phone-records collecting: “When law-abiding Americans make phone calls, who they call, See Phone/Page 2

S Miami St., West WATTS Milton, last month pleaded guilty to an amended charge of robbery Thursday afternoon in court.

Originally charged with aggravated robbery, Joshua L. Watts, 22, of West Milton, waived a grand jury’s consideration of his case and entered a plea of guilty to robbery, a thirddegree felony.

He is scheduled to be sentence July 29 in common pleas court before Judge Christopher Gee. Watts faces between one to five years in prison.

He remains free until that sentencing on a recognizance bond.

Authorities said on May 3 that Watts used steak knife to rob a cashier at the gas station before fleeing on foot, according to police reports.

Later police witnessed the man riding on a bike and after he jumped off and fled the scene he was apprehended, those reports state.

He told police he hid the knife and had some of the money he stole on his person at the time of his arrest.

Court documents state that when an officer asked Watts where he got the money Watts replied, “Certified.”

Former mayor, aviation buff flying high

BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com PIQUA — After serving the city of Piqua as commissioner and mayor and after spending 30 years as an edu c a t o r, T o m Hudson sought a new opportunity to do something he t r u l y loves.

T h e HUDSON fruits of that labor are just now getting off the ground.

Hudson, an avid aviation enthusiast, said he obtained his pilot’s license at age 21 but since his younger days he was unable to put as much focus on flying as he wanted to.

Now semi-retired Hudson has taken to the skies once again in a Cessna 172, but not as a pilot, rather a photographer.

Hudson, 58, began Miami Valley Aerial Photography, 608 N. Downing St., last year and he says that it has been not only a success, but also a great way to pursue his passion.

“I’ve always been interested in photography and I really wanted to get back into aviation,” Hudson said. “This is just natural considering my love of flying and aviation.”

The former mayor and city commissioner said he loves being in the air and that, combined with photography, has created what he called a unique opportunity.

“The number one thing I love about this? I love being in the sky flying around,” Hudson said. “I absolutely love being up in the air. It’s a different world up there. It’s just

so picturesque. Just being up in the air is absolutely fantastic. It’s sheer fun.”

Hudson added that it’s a pleasure to be able to combine his passion with his work.

Mostly flying out of the Sidney airport with pilot Jake Minesinger, Hudson snaps aerial portraits of properties such as farms and residences to large factories and plants and other notable buildings in the area.

He said he loves being in the air because of the perspective.

“It’s different than your normal street view, but there is something about having and eagle’s eye view,” Hudson said.

While people may be surprised to learn the city’s former mayor enjoyed aviation and photography so much to

start his own business, Hudson said those that know him best are not surprised.

“They all know I’m an aviation nut,” he said, laughing.

Gas prices hover around $4 a gallon ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND (AP) Ohio motorists are getting a sinking feeling as they pull up to the pumps this week. Gas prices are way up and now are hovering around $4 a gallon.

Rising oil prices amid fears about refinery problems in the Great Lakes have pushed pump prices up over the dreaded $4 mark at some stations across the state. Others are almost there.

According to auto club AAA, the state average for a gallon of regular gas was $3.93 on Thursday, an increase of 9 cents from Wednesday and 27 cents higher than a week ago.

Meanwhile, the national

average Thursday was $3.63, up just 2 cents from a week ago.

The highest average Thursday in Ohio was $3.97 in the Columbus area.

Prices tend to be higher in the summer anyway because of increased demand and the switch to winterless-expensive blend gas. Now there are other factors at work, too.

An analyst told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/11u5tQV) the supply of gasoline has been unstable in the Great Lakes region, where two large refineries are either partly or fully shut down for maintenance.

Ohio gets most of its

gasoline from the Chicago spot market, which is known for dramatic price swings, according to AAA Ohio. Refineries in Witing, Ind., and Joliet, Ill., have been offline for maintenance recently, which has led to tight supplies. Last week, the region’s refining capacity dropped to a three-year low.

Restarting the refineries should ease supply concerns in the region, but there’s no way to tell how soon that could ease the price at the pump.

Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with Gas Buddy, a division of the Oil Price Information Service, said refinery problems are making the

Great Lakes region’s wholesale prices “bipolar.”

“My wholesale prices are wacky,” said Patrick LaVecchia, a filling station owner in the Cleveland suburb of Rocky River and spokesman for the Associated Food and Petroleum Dealers, which represents some 5,000 member stations in Ohio and Michigan.

By contrast, the average price Thursday in neighboring Pennsylvania was $3.48. But in Michigan, it was $4.23. In Indiana, it was $4.12.

The highest recorded average price for a gallon of regular gas in Ohio was around $4.16 in May 2011, according to AAA.

Judge to label football players sex offenders

BY ANDREW WELSHHUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Two Ohio high school football players convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl last year will be classified as sex offenders at a hearing next week.

The June 14 hearing by Judge Thomas Lipps at Jefferson County Juvenile Court in eastern Ohio is a possible first step for the two teens to be transferred from a state juvenile detention center to a facility that works with

sex offenders.

Lipps must place the teens in one of three sex offender levels, with the strictest requiring reporting every three months for life and the most lenient requiring annual reporting for 10 years. Unlike adult sex offenders, however, the teens’ names won’t be included on publicly accessible websites.

And the teens can request to be removed later based on their history of rehabilitation.

Lipps sentenced Trent Mays, 17, and Ma’Lik Richmond, 16, to time in

the juvenile detention system in March. He convicted them of raping the West Virginia girl after an August party celebrating a successful football team scrimmage. Richmond was sentenced to at least one year for raping the girl, while Mays was sentenced to at least two for raping her and taking a picture of the underage girl naked.

The case received international attention because of the role of texting and social media in exposing the attack. A grand jury is considering whether other people broke the law in

connection with the case by not alerting authorities to initial reports of the rape.

At the time of their conviction and sentencing in March, Lipps recommended the boys be assigned to a facility in Chillicothe that he said has a strong program for treating juvenile sex offenders, Lighthouse Youth Center-Paint Creek.

The privately operated center is an open campus where staff members rely on their relationship with residents to prevent escapes, according to the De-

partment of Youth Services.

Staff and children live together at the facility, which has shown success in keeping teens treated there from committing new crimes.

Both Paint Creek and state officials conduct face-to-face meetings with young people and review their records in state facilities whenever determining placement, said Youth Services spokeswoman Kim Parsell, adding that all state juvenile facilities “are able to meet the unique needs of youth.”

She declined to comment specifically on the hearing or Mays and Richmond’s case.

Mays welcomed the chance for the transfer, his lawyer said.

“Our client looks forward to the opportunity to attend the Paint Creek program, follow all the facility rules, and display to the Court and the community that he has been rehabilitated fully in hopes of returning to his family,” Columbus attorney Brian Duncan said in a statement. Messages were left for Richmond’s attorney.

Kasich revises drilling-tax plan; state budget OK’d

BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Gov. John Kasich is trying to line up support in Ohio’s drilling heartland for his proposed oil-andgas tax increase by offering to send a quarter of the proceeds back to Appalachia.

The emerging proposal is likely to surface as part of compromise talks on the $61.7 billion, two-year state budget that cleared the Ohio Senate in a 23-10 party line vote Thursday.

Both GOP-led legislative chambers have thus far rejected the drilling tax increase, but they supported significantly different tax packages that will need to be reconciled.

The Republican governor initially proposed raising severance taxes on Ohio’s burgeoning shale drilling industry to 4 per-

cent and directing proceeds toward a statewide income-tax cut. Taxaverse lawmakers, energy companies and economically challenged eastern Ohio counties balked, forcing the administration to regroup.

State Rep. Ross McGregor, a Springfield Republican, said he supported the original proposal and wants to see whatever changes are necessary to move the drilling tax forward. He likened sending money to affected Appalachian areas to earmarking the bulk of Turnpike bond proceeds to northern Ohio, where the roadway is located.

“I’m sympathetic with colleagues whose districts are the most impacted (by drilling),” McGregor said.

“Certainly, these areas of the state have had a real draught in economic development, not just over the past couple of years

but for decades. I also see taxes from this resource as a benefit to the whole state.”

The new plan would raise the severance tax rate to 4.5 percent and send 25 percent of the revenues to 33 Appalachian counties, through their development agencies. The remaining 75 percent would still go to statewide reductions. income-tax That could mean more than $370 million for the region and $1.1 billion in tax cuts over five years.

Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said that through discussions on the tax, the administration has determined that offering a portion of proceeds to the region where drilling is booming is “the right thing to do.”

“All of Ohio stands to benefit enormously from the shale boom, especially eastern Ohio,” he said. “As the boom continues to

grow it’s only right that eastern Ohio communities have the resources they need to both address new demands and also make sure these new opportunities produce significant, sustainable benefits for local families.”

The industry remains strenuously opposed to Kasich’s tax swap plan, Tom Stewart of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association said.

“It’s like taking a 100dollar bill from eastern Ohio landowners, then ripping off a quarter of that bill and giving it back to them,” he said. “What do you do with that?”

Stewart said the industry has supported a doubling of the severance tax in 2010 and is not averse to taxation “for good public policy reasons.”

“It’s not an issue of whether we like supporting it or not,” he said. “In this case, we see the sev-

erance tax being used to support a political purpose to achieve a political goal that does not support public safety and trust in the gas regulatory program.”

That political purpose is lowering Ohio’s state income tax, a campaign promise of Kasich’s in 2010.

Columbus Chamber of Commerce lobbyist Michael Hartley said reducing the income tax would help the entire state’s economy.

“Our No. 1 priority for state stuff is lowering the state income tax. That helps our members,” he said.

But having more of that money returned to eastern Ohio communities is essential, said Tracy Drake, chief executive officer of the Columbiana County Port Authority.

“The area has seen monies for other initiatives, like casinos and

Turnpikes, go to local areas,” he said. “So if there is to be a tax on this industry here, obviously we would think it would be appropriate for some of that tax to stay local, because it’s impacting the area and, historically, eastern Ohio has been under-recognized for economic development by the rest of the state.”

Stewart said Kasich’s plan still unfairly taxes a single industry for the benefit of other areas of the state.

“That’s a question that needs to be asked of Ohio landowners in eastern Ohio, who have been waiting decades for this,” he said. “What’s that person in Cincinnati getting out of this? They’re getting $4 natural gas (per 1,000 cubic feet) when it should be priced at $16, they’re getting 38,000 jobs so far.”

the Intelligence Committee, said it was the type of surveillance that “I have long said would shock the public if they knew about it.”

The government has hardly been forthcoming.

Wyden released a video of himself pressing Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on the matter during a Senate hearing in March.

“Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?”

Wyden asked.

“No, sir,” Clapper answered.

“It does not?” Wyden pressed.

Clapper quickly softened his answer. “Not wittingly,” he said. “There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps, collect but not wittingly.”

There was no immediate comment from Clapper’s office Thursday on his testimony in March.

The public is now on notice that the government has been collecting data even if not listening to the conversations on every phone call every American makes, a program that has operated in the shadows for years, under President George

W. Bush, and continued

by President Barack Obama.

“It is very likely that business records orders like this exist for every major American telecommunication company, meaning that if you make calls in the United States the NSA has those records,” wrote Cindy Cohn, general counsel of the nonprofit digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation, and staff attorney Mark Rumold, in a blog post.

Without confirming the authenticity of the court order, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said such surveillance powers are “a critical tool in protecting the nation from terror threats,” by helping officials determine if people in the U.S. who may have been engaged in terrorist activities have been in touch with other known or suspected terrorists.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., stressed that phone records are collected under court orders that are approved by the Senate and House Intelligence committees and regularly reviewed.

And Senate Democratic

leader Harry Reid of Nevada played down the significance of the revelation.

“Everyone should just calm down and understand that this isn’t anything that’s brand new,” he said. “This is a program that’s been in effect for seven years, as I recall. It’s a program that has worked to prevent not all terrorism but certainly the vast, vast majority. Now is the program perfect? Of course not.”

But privacy advocates said the scope of the program was indefensible.

“This confirms our worst fears,” said Alexander Abdo, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Security Project. “If the government can track who we call,” he said, “the right to privacy has not just been compromised it has been defeated.”

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., who sponsored the USA Patriot Act that governs the collection, said he was “extremely troubled by the FBI’s interpretation of this legislation.”

Attorney General Eric Holder sidestepped questions about the issue during an appearance before a Senate subcommittee,

offering instead to discuss it at a classified session that several senators said they would arrange.

House Speaker John Boehner called on Obama to explain why the program is necessary.

It would “be helpful if they’d come forward with the details here,” he said.

The disclosure comes at a particularly inopportune time for the Obama administration. The president already faces questions over the Internal Revenue Service’s improper targeting of conservative groups, the seizure of journalists’ phone records in an investigation into who leaked information to the media, and the administration’s handling of the terrorist attack in Libya that left four Americans dead.

At a minimum, it’s all a distraction as the president tries to tackle big issues like immigration reform and taxes. And it could serve to erode trust in Obama as he tries to advance his second-term agenda and cement his presidential legacy.

The Verizon order, granted by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on April 25 and good until July 19, requires information on the

phone numbers of both parties on a call, as well as call time and duration, and unique identifiers, according to The Guardian.

It does not authorize snooping into the content of phone calls. But with millions of phone records in hand, the NSA’s computers can analyze them for patterns, spot unusual behavior and identify “communities of interest” — networks of people in contact with targets or suspicious phone numbers overseas.

Once the government has zeroed in on numbers that it believes are tied to terrorism or foreign governments, it can go back to the court with a wiretap request. That allows the government to monitor the calls in real time, record them and store them indefinitely.

Phone Continued from page 1 when they call and where they call is private information. As a result of the discussion that came to light today, now we’re going to have a real debate.”

But Republican Lindsay Graham of South Carolina said Americans have no cause for concern. “If you’re not getting a call from a terrorist organization, you’ve got nothing to worry about,” he said.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, DCalif., said the order was a three-month renewal of an ongoing practice that is supervised by federal judges who balance efforts to protect the country from terror attacks against the need to safeguard Americans’ privacy.

The surveillance powers are granted under the post-9/11 Patriot Act, which was renewed in 2006 and again in 2011.

While the scale of the program might not have been news to some congressional leaders, the disclosure offered a public glimpse into a program whose breadth is not widely understood. Sen. Mark Udall, a Colorado Democrat who serves on

Classes will run from 6:15-7:30 p.m. Wednesday nights.

“Cardio Yoga is vigorous exercise with cardio, strength building, core work, “Asanas” and meditation all wrapped into one. “It’s a great mental workout with more calories burnt,” Nardecchia said. “Interested students can take both the Monday night Yoga classes and/or the Cardio Yoga class and really get a workout.”

“Each class will begin with centering, which involves emphasis on the breath. This allows participants to become centered and grounded for the practice,” Nardechia

said.

Throughout the class a variety of “asanas,” (postures), will be taught and practiced. Some of these postures are seated and some are standing. According to Nardechia, “The standing postures help us with balance which becomes increasingly important as we get older.” Classes end with relaxation which leaves those in the class feeling rejuvenated and most importantly, present in the moment.

Students should bring a bath towel, sash and mat to class.

Learn the history of local militias PIQUA — Ohio’s citizen-soldiers have served in every major American conflict and assisted in dozens of natural and manmade disasters. As part of the ongoing Portals to Piqua’s Past lecture series, the Piqua Library invites the public to attend an overview of Piqua’s militias at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 12.

James Oda, local historian and Piqua Library Director, will trace the heroism of Ohio’s citizensoldiers from the 18th century through to the present.

Beginning with the first area settlers, this session explores the many changes in the definition and role of citizen soldiers, right up to today’s National Guard.

Prior to the Civil War, Ohio’s militia had a rather poor reputation — company drills were often more of an excuse for heavy drinking than rigorous training. The War Between the States changed our local units, whose terrible experiences in the war led them to shift their priorities to military training rather than socializing.

From the first settlement of the Ohio countryside to the present, the militia and National Guard have had a long and symbiotic relation-

ship with the state. By the beginning of the 20th century, state and federal regulations had transformed loose units with elected officers into full-fledged National Guard units with a trained and committed military force. In 1931, the state built Piqua’s horsedrawn artillery unit a permanent home at The Armory, which is still in use today.

The Piqua National Guard has participated in maintaining order on several occasions, for example: • During the 1870s and 1880s, local units were called out to serve during urban civil unrest and violent strikes throughout the state.

• In 1915, Company C was sent to guard the Mexican border during the U.S. incursion into Mexico.

• Local units have assisted during floods, tornados, and a penitentiary fire, as well as serving as an honor guard for Warren G. Harding’s funeral.

• Local units have been called into active duty during World War I and World War II, Korea, the Persian Gulf, and the Middle Eastern conflicts.

Recalling great memories

Serving Piqua since 1883

“But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.”

(Matthew 6:33 AKJV)

Commentary

No room for excuses arack Obama is a gifted storyteller, and he's always used his own life as a text, a parable, a lesson. Often he's told tales from his own past to transcend race, to identify with mainstream America, to claim common ground about hardships suffered and obstacles overcome.

By now we can recite many of them by heart. His single mother resorting to food stamps; his grandmother losing a promotion; his grandfather serving with Gen. Patton. Who can forget the rusty car he used to drive, or the loan payments he struggled to meet?

Michelle Obama, too, relies heavily on stories to teach lessons, and speaking to graduates of Bowie State, an historically black school, she repeated a familiar narrative: "My dad was a pump operator at the city water plant, diagnosed with MS in his early thirties. And every morning I watched him struggle to get out of bed and inch his way to his walker, and painstakingly button his uniform, but never once did I hear him complain. Not once. He just kept getting up, day after day, year after year, to do whatever he could to give our family a better shot at life."

Those stories from both Obamas convey the same simple message: We're just like you. We share your values. We know what your lives are like. Day after day, year after year.

But when the president spoke recently at Morehouse College, another historically black school, he did something he seldom does. Instead of avoiding race, he invoked it. Instead of addressing all AmerCOKIE AND STEVE icans, he spoke diROBERTS rectly to Columnists African-Americans — men in particular.

"There are some things, as black men, we can only do for ourselves," he said, and the word "we" was critical. I've been there, brother, he was telling his audience. I feel your pain and your past. Now get over it.

"Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was," the president said sternly. "Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination." Stop whining. Start winning.

To reinforce his point, the president again invoked his own history. "We know that too many young men in our community continue to make bad choices," he confessed. "And I have to say, growing up I made quite a few myself. Sometimes I wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down. I had a tendency sometimes to make excuses for me not doing the right thing. But one of the things that all of you have learned over the last four years is there's no longer any room for excuses."

The reaction in some quarters of the black community was disheartening. A Washington Post headline read, "Obama message sounds a bit stale," and the story quoted Trevor Coleman, a former Democratic speechwriter: "The first couple of times it was OK, but I and a lot of other people are beginning to grow weary of it."

Leola Johnson, a professor of media studies at Macalester College, said the president's words were "actually not aimed at black people." Instead they were designed to make "white people, liberals especially," feel comfortable with a black president.

The criticisms are both inaccurate and unfair. Just because a story is familiar doesn't make it "stale."

Why do we tell children Bible stories, fairy tales, Greek myths? Because they contain eternal truths.

Because they cannot be repeated often enough.

Their critics actually prove the Obamas' point.

They were doing exactly what the president and his wife warned against — deflecting blame for the ills of the black community. Refusing to hear words aimed directly at them. Instead of taking responsibility, they were making excuses.

In her speech, Michelle focused on the value of staying in school: "When it comes to getting an education, too many of our young people cannot be bothered." Please, she pleaded with the graduates, "stand up and reject the slander that says a black child with a book is trying to act white. Reject that."

The president focused on the value of staying at home, of being a father. He spoke wistfully of his own parentage: "I sure wish I had had a father who was not only present, but involved. Didn't know my dad."

And again he drew a lesson from personal experience: "I will tell you this: Everything else is unfulfilled if we fail at family, if we fail at that responsibility."

These are not "stale" stories. They are always new and always true. There's no excuse for not listening to them or living by them.

It’s quite now, no kids, no creative madness, no laughing, no magic. It’s always been about the kids. I have taught or coached kids over these 41 years that have become doctors, lawyers, engineers, principals, teachers, firefighters, police, pilots, military, business owners, pro athletes, school board members, city employees, city council members and the list goes on. I’m most proud of not what they have become, but of their character. I take great joy seeing how these kids have become great parents, voters, coaches, and volunteers giving back to the community.

REVIEW:

Gimmicky ‘Purge’ void of distinction

UNIVERSAL PICTURES/AP PHOTO

This film image released by Universal Pictures shows Ethan Hawke, right, in a scene from “The Purge.”

BY NEIL YOUNG The Hollywood Reporter LOS ANGELES (AP) — Characters are frequently urged to “release the beast” in “The Purge,” a highconcept home-invasion shocker set in a future where one night a year, all crime is legal. But what should be a clammy exercise in claustrophobic, queasy tension becomes, in the hands of writer/director James DeMonaco, an underpowered compendium of over-familiar scare tactics and sledgehammer-subtle social satire. The intriguingly nightmarish premise may well rustle up a decent opening weekend for a picture that comes with the imprimatur of producer Michael Bay before the lukewarm word of mouth hastens its trip to DVD and VOD. The hostiles-in-the-house subgenre is, of course, ideal for smallscreen viewing, turning the comforting spaces of the domestic environment into shadowy hiding places for miscreants. Five years ago, Bryan Bertino’s “The Strangers” opened one weekend earlier to reap healthy returns, and DeMonaco tips his hat to that predecessor by having his psychopaths also don spooky masks as they come-a-calling on their middle-class suburban prey.

But where Bertino scored by keeping external details to an absolute minimum, DeMonaco overloads “The Purge” with all kinds of cumbersome exposition, mostly delivered via TV-news broadcasts. It’s 2022, and in the United States, crime and poverty have dwindled drastically since the election of the “New Founding Fathers” — presumably in 2014.

This thinly veiled fictional version of the Tea Party (“a nation reborn!”) wasted no time in

introducing “The Purge,” a nationwide catharsis, which runs for 12 hours starting at 7 p.m. on March 21, during which time the violent, even homicidal unleashing of rage is positively encouraged as a patriotic duty.

While the plausibility of such an extreme scenario springing up in less than a decade is debatable, more feasible is the accompanying boom in private security spending as citizens who can afford to barricade themselves into their homes do so. This lines the pockets of folks like security-biz entrepreneur James Sandin (Ethan Hawke), who has equipped his own sprawling residence with the latest intruderrepelling technology. But no “lockdown” is airtight, and the Sandin family find themselves under siege when they provide sanctuary to a homeless man (Edwin Hodge). This unnamed, injured fellow is first seen fleeing a well-heeled lynch mob led by a preppy individual identified in the credits as “Polite Stranger” (Rhys Wakefield).

DeMonaco has spoken of his debt to Sam Peckinpah’s “Straw Dogs” and John Carpenter’s “Assault on Precinct 13,” the latter providing Hawke with a star vehicle via the DeMonaco-scripted 2005 remake.

(Hawke was also the lead in DeMonaco’s little-seen directorial debut “Staten Island.”) The suburban-insecurity theme also stirs memories of David Fincher’s “Panic Room,” Jonathan Kaplan’s “Unlawful Entry” and even Neil Labute’s “Lakeview Terrace”; the barely concealed bloodlust of the bourgeoisie recalls “The Last House on the Left”; while the idea of state-sanctioned, carefully contained mayhem was executed on a grander scale in “The Hunger Games” and “Rollerball.”

The Purge never threatens to become more than the sum of its various parts, however. And it’s frustrating that while we hear about the horrors unfolding elsewhere in the country, all we see is brief glimpses of surveillance-camera footage that hint at unbridled savagery. Instead, DeMonaco seldom strays beyond the thresholds of the Sundin’s mansion, with characters forever wandering in the dark down long corridors or through different rooms.

Jolts tend to be of the “boo!” and “he’s behind you!” variety, their impact lessened rather than amplified

by Sebastian Sheehan Visconti’s crash-bang sound design. Violence and bloodshed are somewhat restrained given the R rating. DeMonaco seems more engaged by the bluntly allegorical aspects of a tale where America has been segregated into secure “haves” and terrified “have-nots.”

The fact that Hodge’s stranger is a homeless black man — pursued

by Wakefield’s upper-class blond yuppie — adds a racial dimension to proceedings that DeMonaco doesn’t seem to know how to handle.

And it gets lost amid a sequence of bloody torture, perhaps inspired by the maltreatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. “You are making this much more difficult than it needs to be!” yelps Hawke after urging Lena Headey to stick a letter opener into their guest’s gaping wound, an inadvertently comic moment that torpedoes what should be a grueling dissection of suburban middle-class hypocrisies.

“The Purge,” a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for strong disturbing violence and some language.

Running time: 85 minutes.

Review: Memory gets surreal in ‘Somewhere Fun’

BY JENNIFER FARRAR Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — In Jenny Schwartz’s quirky new play, “Somewhere Fun,” troubled people take transitional journeys that unexpectedly intertwine.

As in her 2007 play “God’s Ear,” about parents unable to cope with the loss of a child, here daily events veer into dreamlike scenes, and characters spout nonsensicalsounding yet evocative dialogue. Fragmented, often humorous speech combines non-sequiturs with cliches, rhymes and half-remem-

bered phrases to create a haunting reflection of inner anguish.

The stellar cast on display at the Vineyard Theatre fluently voices Schwartz’s imaginative linguistics. Kate Mulgrew and Kathleen Chalfant lead an ensemble crisply directed by Anne Kauffman on Marsha Ginsberg’s set that easily transforms from normal settings into surrealism.

Familial regrets float through the dialogue like sad, omnipresent clouds. One character mysteriously melts to death, while one is casually referred to as faceless.

Memories become metaphors, as two 8-year-old children pop on and off the stage in their respective mothers’ fond recollections brought to life.

As lonely, middle-aged realtor Rosemary Rappaport, Mulgrew gives a bravura performance. Briskly oblivious to others, Rosemary prattles on in barely controlled hysteria about herself and her estranged adult son, Benjamin (adeptly portrayed

by Greg Keller.) A chance encounter with an old friend, played by Chalfant, sets her off down a crazed version of memory lane, and she comes

fairly unhinged over a restaurant meal while semibullying another friend, (Mary Shultz, sweetly self-effacing in the first act).

Chalfant is first seen imperiously on parade in a wheelchair, which might as well be a throne, given her grande dame persona as Evelyn Armstrong, a wealthy society matron with endstage cancer. Chalfant declaims magnificently from a hospice bed throughout the second act, tossing off Evelyn’s morphine-drip-fueled, darkly funny and moving dialogue with grace and charm.

Abby, I’ll be honest. The subject makes me uncomfortable.

Last night I walked into my 12-year-old’s room and interrupted him pleasuring himself. I was shocked, and I started to laugh because I was embarrassed.

I did tell him he needed to be more private about his curiosity, to close the door and have a blanket over himself. But I was laughing when I was talking to him and literally could not stop. I’m unsure what is the right course of action at this point. Where do I go from here?

Churches split Preventing the summer slide on Scouts’ welcoming of gay youth

BY DAVID CRARY AP National Writer In suburban Atlanta, northern Idaho and a number of other places, churches have moved swiftly to sever ties with the Boy Scouts of America in protest over the vote last month to let openly gay boys participate in Scouting.

To date, it’s far from the mass defection that some conservatives had predicted before the vote by the BSA’s National Council. But the exodus could soon swell, depending on the outcome of the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting next week in Houston.

Baptist leaders say the agenda is likely to include a resolution encouraging SBC-affiliated churches to phase out their sponsorships of Scout units.

“I would bet there would be a resolution expressing disappointment with the Boy Scouts’ decision and calling on Southern Baptist churches to prepare for the need for alternatives,” said the Rev. Russell Moore, president of the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

“How quickly that happens will probably differ from congregation to congregation,” Moore said. “I do think most Southern Baptists see the Boy Scouts moving in a direction that’s not going to be consistent with our beliefs.”

The Southern Baptists — the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. — already have a youth program for boys, the Royal Ambassadors. SBC leaders have suggested it could expand to accommodate boys leaving the Scouts.

According to BSA figures, Baptist churches sponsor Scout units serving about 108,000 of the BSA’s 2.6 million youth members.

While many Baptist churches may be awaiting the outcome of next week’s meeting, some already have decided to break with the BSA. In Marietta, Ga., pastor Ernest Easley said his Roswell Street Baptist Church is ending its affiliation with Boy Scout Troop 204 that dates back to 1945.

“I never dreamed I’d have to stand up publicly and say to parents: ‘Pull your kids out of the Boy Scouts,’” Easley told Baptist Press, the SBC’s official news agency.

Baptist churches in Elizabethtown and Rineyville, Ky., Helena and Pelham, Ala., and Jacksonville, Ark., also say they’re cutting ties with the BSA. Tim Reed, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Gravel Ridge in Jacksonville, said in an e-mail that his congregation — including a 15-year-old boy on track to win the coveted Eagle Scout rank — strongly backed the decision to end sponsorship of a Scout troop.

“He was set to be one of the youngest boys to make Eagle,” Reed wrote. “He said that he must uphold God’s word over the Boy Scouts’ decision no matter what the personal cost.”

Among the latest to cut ties was Candlelight Christian Fellowship, a nondenominational church in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, which announced this week that it would end its charter of a Boy Scout troop at the end of this year.

“We’re a Bible-believing church, and the Boy Scouts have opted to pursue a different moral path,” said the associate pastor, Buck Storm. “It’s a sad time for us.”

In all, about 70 percent of the 116,000 Scout units in the United States are sponsored by religious organizations.

Some are liberal denominations that welcomed the change of policy on gay youths and want the Boy Scouts to go further by lifting the still-intact ban on gays serving as adult leaders. But some of the largest sponsors are relatively conservative churches that had long supported the Scouts’ no-gays policy, and have been wrestling with how to respond to the May 23 vote.

To the relief of BSA leaders, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has said it accepts the new youth policy and will not cut ties. The Mormons sponsor more Scout units than any other organization, serving about 430,000 boys.

The United Methodist Church, the second-largest sponsor serving about 363,000 boys, has shied away from official endorsement or rejection of the BSA policy change. Some individual Methodist leaders have been critical, while the General Commission on United Methodist Men, which oversees the denomination’s youth programs, says it will continue to support Scouting.

Similar divisions have surfaced within the Roman Catholic Church, the third-largest Scout sponsor serving about 273,000 youths.

A Catholic pastor in Bremerton, Wash., the Rev. Derek Lappe of Our Lady Star of the Sea, wrote an open letter to his parishioners announcing that the parish would cut its ties with the Scouts and develop new youth programs of its own.

Summer camps, such as ones through the Miami County Parks, are a great way to prevent the summer slide. chool’s out, and most kids look forward to a lazy summer full of freedom. Unfortunately, if that summer is too lazy, then kids can lose some of the valuable knowledge they gained during the school year. Here are a few strategies that parents can implement to prevent the “summer slide.”

Enjoy the Great Outdoors. Get your kids outside. Bike riding, nature hikes, time in the sandbox…these are the normal things that kids are supposed to do in the summer.

When kids get outside to exercise and explore nature, they not only benefit physically, their minds are fast at work. They see new things and make up games. An hour spent playing in a sandbox employs imagination and gets the creative juices flowing.

Read, read, read! Pick up a good book and turn off the TV. Keep your kids reading all summe. Join the summer reading program at the library to help motivate and drum up in-

S

terest. Reading doesn’t have to just be books, either. Magazines, graphic novels, comic books, and newspapers all qualify as reading. Set the example for your kids by choosing some of your own reading material. Hop in the hammock and spend an afternoon reading.

Go to Camp. Whether it’s a local camp or one that’s far from home, sending kids to camp is another ideal way to keep their minds sharp. Some camps have themes, like sports camps or nature camps, others are just general fun times spent in a particular place.

Whichever you choose for your kids, not only will they continue to learn, they’ll also continue to develop their social skills which will benefit them throughout life.

Get Crafty. Provide opportunities for your kids to be creative. Let them sculpt, build, and paint.

Older kids can tackle projects that involve skills like sewing or basic carpentry.

If you need an idea, the in-

ternet provides a bounty of websites that will inspire and direct. An added bonus for summertime projects is the warm weather. Most of the mess can be kept outside, and this makes clean-up easier.

Hit the Road. Take your kids on vacation.

Whether it’s a “staycation” close to home or a long trip to a far-away place, get the kids outside of their comfort zones with travel. Traveling to new places expands their minds, and kids learn from new experiences that occur daily. Whether it’s a museum, a trip to the beach, or a hike through the mountains, traveling away from home teaches kids valuable lessons that can’t be gleaned from a book.

Keep up the Routine.

Keep kids in a routine, as much as possible. Continue to implement household chores on a daily basis. Don’t let kids sleep half the day away and stay up all night. Continue to participate in

music lessons or sports practices whenever possible. The more consistent you are with expectations and routines, the easier it will be to transition them back into school routines in the fall.

Pull out the Workbooks. For parents who want to take a structured approach to preventing the summer slide, there are a myriad of workbooks on the market for purchase. Require kids to complete several pages a day to keep skills fresh in their minds. When the new school year rolls around, they won’t need to review. They’ll be ready to go.

The summer slide doesn’t have to be an inevitable part of kids’ lives.

■ Living with Children

What should we do?

Q :Our 9-year-old daughter is going to the fourth grade next school year. She loves school and has always done very well. She recently took a series of tests and we’ve learned that she qualifies for the gifted and talented program. When we told her, she became very upset and told us she doesn’t want to accept the promotion. We tried to explain the advantages, but she just became more upset.

She says none of her friends are in the gifted program and she doesn’t want to be there either.

The school counselor says we should not let her make the decision.

What should we do?

A: In most cases, and especially at the elementary level, the programs in question are examples of what are known as “pull-

out” programs. The children in GT programs attend regular classes and are then pulled out of class three to five times a week for enrichments of various sorts. I am unable to find any compelling research to the effect that these programs result in long-term intellectual or academic advantage.

Their ultimate benefit, therefore, is questionable.

When my daughter, Amy, was in the fifth grade, she qualified as a GT student. My wife and I sat down with her, explained the short list of pros and cons, and allowed her to make the decision.

She told us exactly what your daughter told you: her friends were not in the program; therefore, she didn’t want to be there either. The school was disappointed, but they got over it, and Amy went on to be an honors student at

the University of North Carolina.

I speculate that your daughter doesn’t want the attention that would come from being pulled out of class by the GT teacher.

She is concerned that her “special” status might not sit well with her friends.

Unfortunately, her anxiety is probably warranted.

Since the efficacy of such programs has not been demonstrated, since they are obviously not necessary to a successful life, however one might measure that, I’d say let your daughter make the decision.

“But what if she later regrets it?”

Good. Then she has to deal with the issue of personal responsibility, and she is not too young to have to do so. It is controlled exercises in decision-making of exactly this sort that cause chil-

JOHN ROSEMOND Columnist dren to become more farsighted and weigh pros and cons rather than simply making decisions on the basis of feelings and impulses.

Regardless of outcome, being allowed to make decisions and learn from the mistakes that are inevitable to that process is an important part of growing up. In the emotional sense, it is the very thing of growing up.

Court: Girls can buy morning-after pill for now LARRY NEUMEISTER AND LAURAN NEERGAARD Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Girls of any age can buy generic versions of emergency contraception without prescriptions while the federal government appeals a judge’s ruling allowing the sales, a federal appeals court said Wednesday.

The order, the latest in a series of rulings in a complex back-and-forth over access to the drug, was met with praise from advocates for girls’ and women’s rights and scorn from social conservatives and other opponents,

who argue the drug’s availability takes away the rights of parents of girls who could get it without their permission.

The brief order issued by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan permitted two-pill versions of emergency contraception to immediately be sold without restrictions, but the court refused to allow unrestricted sales of Plan B One-Step until it decides the merits of the government’s appeal. It did not specify why the twopill versions were being allowed now, though it said the government failed to meet the requirements necessary to block the lower-court deci-

sion.

Department of Justice spokeswoman Allison Price said the government was reviewing the court’s order.

Center for Reproductive Rights President Nancy Northup called the day of the court’s order a “historic day for women’s health.”

“Finally, after more than a decade of politically motivated delays, women will no longer have to endure intrusive, onerous and medically unnecessary restrictions to get emergency contraception,” she said in a statement.

The center’s litigation director, Julie Rickelman, said the government has two

weeks to decide whether to appeal the 2nd Circuit’s decision on the stay to the full appeals court or the Supreme Court. Even if there is no appeal of the stay ruling, it was unclear how soon drugstores would move

the two-pill emergency contraception from behind the counter. She said she hoped the pills would be available without restriction within a month.

“What it does mean is that generic two-pill prod-

ucts are going to be readily available to women without age restrictions, on any drugstore shelf,” Rickelman said.

“It’ll be like buying Tylenol.

You’ll be able to go get it off the drugstore shelf, no ID, at the regular counter.”

Piqua hires new coaches

Mikolajewski event in July

Cook, Loisy take over volleyball, girls soccer

The Piqua Optimist Club’s fifth annual Bob Mikolajewski 5K run and walk will be held July 13 at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field.

The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. and you can download the event flyer at PiquaOptimist5k.com Runners and walkers can pre-register by mail postmarked July 6 to ensure a race t-shirt.

Online registration is also available at alliancerunning.com Race day registration will be available at 7:15 a.m.

Cost is $15 and prizes will be awared to to the overall and age category winners.

The event is a major fundraiser for the Piqua Optimist Club.

It is held in honor of longtime member, club treasurer and friend Bob Mikolajewski.

BY ROB KISER Call Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com Piqua High School recently hired varsity coaches for volleyball and girls soccer to replace Chris Davis and Karen Horvath who resigned after successful runs at Piqua.

The new volleyball coach is Kaila Cook, who formerly coached Delphos St. John’s and has been a coach in th Atlantis JO volleyball program.

“I was just looking to get back into it after being out of it for a few years,” Cook said. “I knew Chris (Davis), because he was my assistant in Team Atlantis.”

Cook is pleased with

what she has seen so far.

“I know they (Piqua) graduated three strong players off last year’s team,” Cook said. “We only have had two open gyms, but I see a lot of talented players out there.”

Cook will learn a lot about the team this summer, including a team camp at Maumee.

And she knows there will be plenty of challenges in the GWOC. “I don’t know a lot of the teams, but I know Troy has a really strong program and Greenville is usually pretty good.”

And Cook knows what it is like facing strong competition from her time in the MAC. “We were always facing teams like St. Henry and

Marion Local,” she said.

“And the thing is we always had to play them in the sectional tournament.

So, I know what it is like to coach against strong competition.

“Chris (Davis) did a nice job with this program and there is a lot of talent here.”

■ For Loisy, the decision to become the Piqua girls soccer coach was an easy one.

“I grew up in France,”

Loisy, who is also a French teacher at Piqua said. “I played it all through high school.

“And I coached at Amelia (in the Cincinnati area) before I came here (to Piqua High School).”

And he sees the transition as a smooth one from former coach Karen Horvath.

“I thought Karen (Horvath) did an outstanding job,” Loisy said. “I really won’t be making many changes.

“Karen did such a good job. I don’t see it as having to make changes so much as building on what Karen has already done.”

With any coaching change, there is a transition period, which is exactly what Loisy plans for

Korbyn Hayslett has been busy on the tracks.

Hayslett has been busy Picks up feature wins Korbyn Hayslett — 10year old driver for Hayslett Racing — has been busy traveling to different tracks these last several months.

Hayslett is running in two different traveling points series, traveling to many tracks out of state.

On March 6, Korbyn signed up to race the second Young Guns Series race at BMI Speedway in Versailles.

Hayslett was one of twelve in the Jr. Sportsman Champ kart class.

After finishing second in both of his heat races and starting on the pole in the feature race, he would pull away from the rest of the field and gain his second feature win of 2013.

Korbyn was scheduled to race at K3 Raceway in Kankakee, IL for the first Burris Thunder Tour Series race on April 19-20.

Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans, burying the track under five foot of water.

This race has been rescheduled for August 910.

The following weekend, Hayslett Racing traveled to K3 Raceway for the third Young Gun's Series race.

After one heat race, rain canceled the rest of the evenings races.

On May 17, Hayslett entered to race the Jr. 1 Flathead class at Ben Hur Speedway in Crawfordsville, Ind., for the second Burris Thunder Tour race.

With so many kart entries and classes, heat races are eliminated and karts are positioned for the feature race by a twolap qualifier round.

Hayslett qualified eighth out of 22 karts.

After falling back to 11th from 8th in the feature race, Hayslett would work his way back up to gain a fifth-place finish.

On day two of the Burris Thunder Tour, Hayslett signed up for three classes.

Again Hayslett, only had two laps to qualify for a starting position in the feature races.

In the Jr 1 Flathead class, Hayslett would qualify ninth out of 21 karts.

This would place him inside row five in the feature race.

He would gain five positions taking a fourth-place finish.

In the Jr 1 Clone class, Hayslett would qualify fifth out of 13 karts.

This would place him inside row three for the feature. He would race

hard to finish in third place.

Hayslett would then qualify 12th out of 23 karts in the Jr. 1 Pro class.

With a qualifying position mid pack, he would start outside row six.

With only 15 laps to race, Hayslett had some work to do to meet his goal of a top-five finish.

He would find himself in the top in no time.

With a couple of cautions, lapped traffic, and only three laps to go, Hayslett made the pass for the lead.

He would win by a straight away for one of his biggest wins to date.

On May 25-26, Hayslett Racing traveled to Owosso Kart Speedway in Owosso, MI to the fourth Young Guns Race.

Hayslett would race his Jr. Sportsman Champ kart both nights.

The best finish between both nights would go towards his points total for the series.

On Saturday night, Hayslett would win both of his heat races and start on the pole in the feature race.

He would lead most of the race with the No. 91 kart on his bumper.

Hayslett would get passed coming to the white flag with one lap to go. He would finish second.

On Sunday night, Hayslett would gain a first and second place finish in his heat races, placing him on the pole for the feature race for the second night in a row.

Trying to redeem himself from the previous night, Hayslett pulled out in front with the No. 91 kart on his bumper again.

These two young drives put a straight away distance between themselves and the rest of the field.

Hayslett would give no room for a clean pass and holding on to the lead to gain his third feature win in the Young Gun's Series.

Hayslett Racing will be at Martinville Raceway in Attica, OH Saturday for the fifth Young Gun's Series race.

Korbyn would like to thank XCaliber Racing Engines and Alley Cut Racing Tires.

Also a big thanks to his dad, Shane Hayslett, uncle Jason Brumbaugh, and grandparents, Kim and Dave Hayslett for all their help in making his passion for racing possible.

If interested in seeing Hayslett in action, check out his many videos on YouTube.

Bengals finish off-season Wrap up final OTA workouts

MIKE ULLERY/CALL FILE PHOTO

Josh Cooper makes a catch during the Cleveland Browns mini-camp Thursday.

Bess big ‘catch’ for Browns Coaches like what they see from receivers BEREA (AP) — Davone Bess is the oldest wide receiver on the Cleveland Browns, but that's strictly a relative term.

Bess, 27, is squarely in the prime of his career and was the most consistent pass catcher throughout a three-day minicamp that concluded Thursday.

Emerging wideouts Greg Little and Josh Gordon are Cleveland's future at the position, but Bess might be its most important asset. The sixth-year pro was acquired from the Miami Dolphins in an April 26 trade, then promptly signed a threeyear contract extension.

"My job is to help the Cleveland Browns win games by making plays, but I also know they brought me here to work with the younger guys," Bess said. "Greg and Josh, they're such physically gifted athletes and they can run, jump and catch.

"You can tell that they're hungry, so I'm just trying to show them the way I approach the game and answer any questions they have for me."

Little was a secondround pick two years ago, while Gordon, a 2012 supplemental draft choice, cost the Browns their second-round pick this spring. At 6-foot-2 and 6-3, respectively, their potential is high, but their maturity remains a concern.

The latter issue again

Josh Gordon makes a catch at mini-camp. came to the forefront Wednesday, when Gordon used his Twitter account to brag that he was "undefeated" drag racing on nearby Interstate 71. The tweet was deleted within hours.

"Davone goes about his business the right way and I think it's rubbing off on the entire locker room," quarterback Brandon Weeden said. "He brings consistency to the field and he doesn't make many mistakes. He also knows how to prepare, so you want to follow his example as a player."

The 5-10, 195-pound Bess has lined up in the slot since arriving in

Cleveland, which was his main role throughout his five seasons in Miami. He made 321 receptions and scored 12 touchdowns in 77 games with the Dolphins, topped by a 79catch season in 2010.

During the same timeframe, the only Browns wide receiver with more than 55 grabs in a season was Little, who had 61 as a rookie. In 2012, Little made a team-high 53 receptions and Gordon had 50.

"You grow up fast being thrown into the fire like I did, but it made me a better player, and it will help both of those guys, too,"

said Bess, who played in his first NFL game at age 22. "But it is a bit weird being the old man in the group because I remember coming into the league so young. Now, it's been six years. Time flies."

Former Bills receiver David Nelson likely will join Bess in the slot once he recovers from reconstructive right knee surgery, along with speedster Travis Benjamin. Nelson is one year younger than Bess, but has played two fewer seasons in the league.

All five receivers figure to see significant snaps in the up-tempo offense being installed by new Browns coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner.

"With the weapons that we have, and Norv's track record for scoring points and gaining yards, the sky is the limit," said Bess, who has posted 130 thirddown receptions over the last five seasons, ranking second in the NFL. "I've felt that way from the first time I met Norv and Chud because they're great guys and you can understand their passion for the game.

"We know they're going to do their part to put us in a position to do great things. As players, we just have to show up and do ours.

"I really believe that."

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ten of the Bengals piled off the bus with their green bowling pins in hand, trophies from their first-place finish.

A boys' night out? Nope.

End of their organized offseason workouts.

The Bengals finished three weeks of workouts by trying their hand at some other things. They went to Great American Ball Park and took batting practice on Tuesday night before the Reds' 12-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies.

Linebacker J.K. Schaffer and a few other players reached the stands.

On the final day of OTAs on Wednesday, they loaded onto buses and headed to a bowling alley called "Super Bowl" for a different kind of team competition.

The 10-member team led by a guy from the Steelers won this Super Bowl trophy. Linebacker James Harrison was so excited that he tweeted updates and photos from the alley.

"It's a nice little release from being serious and getting at football all the time," said Schaffer, who was on Harrison's bowling team. "Definitely a nice getaway. It was a lot of fun, too.

“You get us out there in another competitive situation, but where we can also have fun."

Schaffer put his green bowling pin — a trophy from the win — on the top shelf of his locker, along with the scuffed baseball he hit into the seats in left field the previous night at Great American.

"It does look nice," he said. "It's a nice little start to a collection up there."

The ballpark and bowling ventures were the idea of coach Marvin Lewis, who returns his team virtually intact from two straight disappointing playoff appearances.

Lewis decided to end the final day of organized team activities by hitting the lanes instead of going on the football field in the rain — Cincinnati is the most northern NFL team without a covered field.

"Just an opportunity for guys to have a good time," Lewis said. "I knew it was going to rain today and it

was good not to get out on the field."

The last three weeks of workouts were a chance for the rookies and the few new veterans to learn the system in Cincinnati. The Bengals spent a lot of money in the offseason keeping the starting units virtually intact.

The measure of this team will be whether it can get deep into the playoffs. The Bengals are 0-4 in the postseason under Lewis and haven't won a playoff game since the 1990 season, the longest current streak of futility in the NFL. It's tied for such seventh-longest streak in league history.

"That's the thing," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "It's not that we went out there saying, 'Oh, we have to be better at this, we have to be better at that.' It's more about we return the same guys, we need certain guys in certain places to be a little better at this or that.

"But they are also a year wiser and it's a really young football team. It's not like a bunch of veterans that fell short or something. This is a young team that every year, every game we play we seem to make some strides at places."

The Bengals hold their minicamp mandatory next week, which will provide a better read on how some of the newcomers are catching up on things.

Lewis said that right tackle Andre Smith, who missed the OTAs for a personal matter, is expected at minicamp.

It'll also be a better chance to see Harrison in action with his new team.

He left Pittsburgh, where he won two Super Bowls and Defensive Player of the Year honors, when they couldn't agree on a restructured contract.

Harrison made quite an impression Wednesday at Super Bowl.

"He had the high score for the day," quarterback Andy Dalton said. "I wasn't expecting that going in.

He's a really good bowler.

He had nice form and a nice spin on the ball. He looked good out there.

Looked like he'd done it before."

Coming as close to perfect as seems possible, Williams absolutely overwhelmed last year's runner-up, fifth-seeded Sara Errani of Italy, 6-0, 6-1 in a mere 46 minutes Thursday to reach the final for the first time since winning her lone French Open championship in 2002.

"It doesn't seem like that long ago," Williams said, "even though it was."

To collect her 16th Grand Slam title Saturday, Williams will need to beat defending champion Maria Sharapova, who put aside 11 double-faults and got past third-seeded Victoria Azarenka 61, 2-6, 6-4 in a much more competitive semifinal.

The final features the top two women in the rankings and seedings, No. 1 Williams and No. 2 Sharapova. They are 1-2 among active players in French Open match wins, Williams with 45, Sharapova with 43. And they are two of three active women with more than two major championships; Sharapova completed a career Grand Slam in Paris last year with No. 4.

Plus, Williams has won a career-best 30 consecutive matches, the longest single-season streak on tour since 2000. Sharapova has won 13 consecutive matches in Paris.

Despite all of that, this one doesn't shape up as much of an even matchup, because Williams is 13-2 against Sharapova, including winning the last 12.

"Well, I'd be lying if it doesn't

bother me, obviously," said Sharapova, who last defeated Williams all the way back in 2004, at Wimbledon and the WTA Championships. "Whatever I did in the past hasn't worked, so I'll have to try to do something different."

Williams never gave Errani a chance to switch things up.

Errani, Williams' coach Patrick Moratouglou explained, "needs to rally, she needs to run, and then she's really, really dangerous."

But, he continued, Williams "decided to refuse to let her play."

Simple as that.

The 31-year-old American won the first nine games. When Errani finally got on the board, 37 minutes in, she raised both arms overhead as the crowd roared.

Williams accumulated a 40-2 discrepancy in winners — yes, 40-2! — showing off a full array of talents. She won 28 of 33 points she served, helped by five aces, including one at 123 mph (199 kph). She smacked 10 return winners. She mixed in overhead smashes, powerful groundstrokes, even a drop shot.

"She was playing," Williams' mother, Oracene Price, summed up, "like Serena of old."

It felt like a routine first-round match for one of the sport's greats against a qualifier or wild-card recipient ranked somewhere in the 200s, not someone ranked No. 5 and a semifinalist at three of the past five major tournaments.

Errani's also an accomplished doubles player, having won three

of the past four Grand Slam titles in that event.

"I really believed I had a chance and I was trying to fight," said Errani, now 0-6 against Williams. "Maybe on the outside, people will think that's not true.

But I know that I tried, right until the end."

Made no difference. Moratouglou thought one reason Williams was so terrific was what happened Tuesday in the quarterfinals, when she was pushed to three sets by 2009 French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova after having lost a total of 10 games through four rounds.

"It was good for her to feel danger for a moment," Moratouglou said.

Sharapova certainly dealt with plenty of tension against Azarenka, the winner of the past two Australian Opens.

Good as she was in the first set, Sharapova was shaky in the second, and it took her a while to straighten things out after a 35minute rain delay that preceded the third.

Up an early break, Sharapova double-faulted four times in a single game to make it 2-all.

Serving for the match the first time, at 5-2, she let four match points slip away, then doublefaulted on the last two points.

Finally, at 5-4, she steeled herself, serving out the victory at love, punctuated by her 12th ace.

"I did the job," Sharapova said.

"I just hope that I can improve for the next one."

Probably needs to, the way Williams is hitting the ball.

While Williams has won five titles at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, and four at the U.S. Open, the slow red clay of the French Open has given her trouble through the years. It slows up her big serves and big groundstrokes enough to aid opponents.

The footwork is also more difficult than on other surfaces.

After beating her sister Venus in the 2002 final, then making it to the semifinals a year later, Williams went through a drought in Paris. Four times, she lost in the quarterfinals. Once, in the third round.

A year ago, she lost in the first round to a woman ranked outside the top 100, Williams' only exit at that stage in 51 career major tournaments.

"She was so mad," her mother said Thursday.

Following that setback, Williams stuck around Paris — she owns an apartment in the city, and she's been wowing the locals these two weeks by conducting on-court interviews in their language — and practiced at Moratoughlou's tennis academy in France.

In the last 12 months, Williams is 73-3, including titles at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and the London Olympics, playing as well as she did back when she pulled off her self-styled "Serena Slam" in 2002-03 by earning trophies at all four major tournaments in a row.

where at least three others had a piece of the top spot lead at some point.

Defending champ Dustin Johnson was 5 under through six holes, taking advantage of near perfect conditions at the TPC Southwind with a temperature in the low 80s and only a slight breeze early. But Johnson finished with a 67 and was tied with 10 others including David Toms, a two-time winner here, and Shawn Stefani, who was tied for the lead before he hit into a fairway bunker and bogeyed No. 18.

Snedeker, currently No. 6 in the world, opened with a 70.

Boo Weekley, who won at Colonial, shot a 68 and was tied with seven others. Phil Mickelson had a 71.

LPGA washed out In Pittford, N.Y., Shanshan Feng will have to wait a day to begin defense of her LPGA Championship title.

A steady rain punctuated by heavy downpours and an occasional bolt of lightning forced the postponement of Thursday's first round at Locust Hill Country Club.

Tracks on Tap

VS. 39 The strangest accident of 1 38Sunday’s race occurred far from the lead pack as David Gilliland (car No. 38) and Ryan Newman (39), racing for 26th place, tangled and parked for the day. Newman had been aggressively trying to pass Gilliland for several laps before finally bumping him up the track and into the wall. Gilliland then slid down the track and into Newman’s car.

Gilliland said Newman lacked patience and was “too aggressive.” Newman refused to comment.

THINGS BREAK The Toyota engine problem that has reared its ugly head several times this season bit Matt Kenseth again Sunday. Kenseth led 29 laps but parked on lap 159 while leading when his engine started coughing smoke. He had a dominant car in the Daytona 500 but finished 37th after exiting the race with engine trouble. Toyota’s Martin Truex Jr. also blew an engine in Sunday’s race.

THREE IS A MAGIC NUMBER Jeff Gordon matched his best finish of the season by closing strong for a thirdplace run at Dover. He also finished third at Martinsville and Darlington. The finish lifted Gordon four places in points to 11th and keeps him in the Chase discussion. “It’s certainly a great feeling,” Gordon said. “We have been running good. We just have had some things happen to us, kind of like last year, some self inflicted and some things out of our hands.”

SORRY ABOUT THAT FOX Sports used the Dover pre-race drivers meeting to apologize for a camera cable issue that interrupted last week’s Coca-Cola 600.

Camera support roping snapped during the race, damaging several cars and injuring about a dozen fans in the stands. FOX director Artie Kempner, addressing drivers and officials, thanked NASCAR for its work in correcting the problem and said the network is there to cover the race, not play a role in it.

Statement Win

Tony Stewart makes move late, wins FedEx 400 in Dover

By MIKE HEMBREE

Jimmie Johnson should have won. Juan Pablo Montoya could have won.

The winner, however, was Tony Stewart, a guy who needed it more than perhaps any other driver.

Stewart roared to the front late in the FedEx 400 Benefiting Autism Speaks Sunday at Dover International Speedway, taking the lead from Montoya with three laps remaining and scoring his first win in what has been a troubled season for the three-time champion.

Stewart’s car improved dramatically over the second half of the race, and he was in position to steal the victory when Johnson made a rare late-race mistake and Montoya’s strong car faltered near the finish.

The victory significantly enhanced Stewart’s chances of making the Chase and perhaps will put a damper on persistent garage-area rumors — denied with some anti-media intensity

by Stewart Sunday — that he has been trolling the garage for possible crew-chief replacements after a disappointing start to the season.

But, on the other side of the Compiled and written by Mike Hembree. garage-area fence, in the much Follow Mike on Twitter: @mikehembree. more important Sprint Cup world,

By MIKE HEMBREE

Busch has unfinished business. In a system in which the top 10 drivers in the point standings qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup, Busch sits ninth halfway through the “regular season.” Before a fourth-place run Sunday at Dover, he was 11th.

Through the season’s seventh race at Texas (one he won), Busch stood second in points and was enjoying a string of five consecutive top-5 finishes. Then the bottom fell out. An accident at Kansas left him 38th. He was 24th at Richmond and 37th at Talladega before rebounding with a sixth at Darlington.

Then there was Charlotte, where Busch was at the center of one of the most unusual circumstances in recent NASCAR history. With

Busch in the lead relatively early in the Coca-Cola 600, a rope supporting an overhead television camera snapped and fell on the track, slicing through the right front of Busch’s Toyota and also damaging several other cars. After significant repair work by his Joe Gibbs Racing team, Busch rallied from that situation to stay out front, but he eventually finished 38th after an engine failure.

Although his talent is beyond question, Busch hasn’t come close to scoring his sport’s biggest prize — the Cup championship. He was fifth in points — his best finish — in 2007, his final season at Hendrick Motorsports before his move to Gibbs. He has 26 Cup wins but won’t be satisfied until he crosses that last hurdle.

Race: Party in the Poconos 400 Track: Pocono Raceway Location: Long Pond, Pa. When: Sunday, June 9 TV: TNT (1:00 p.m. EST) Layout: 2.5-mile tri-oval Banking/Turn 1: 14 degrees Banking/Turn 2: 8 degrees Banking/Turn 3: 6 degrees 2012 Winner: Joey Logano Crew Chief’s Take: “One of those love/hate tracks. Teams are normally on one extreme or the other. You don’t find teams that are in the middle of the road on Pocono. It’s like a small road course with left-hand turns. You compromise, but you still have to be good in all three corners. If you give up one corner you better be exceptional in the other two. I like it because after the repave, it’s a very smooth track, and everybody likes smooth tracks just because it makes it easier to work on the cars. You still have the three corners, but there is a ton of speed.”

Classic Moments Pocono Raceway A triangular-shaped 2.5-mile layout with three distinct corners all banked at various degrees, Pocono Raceway generally poses a stiff challenge for drivers and crew chiefs alike. That’s especially true for newcomers to the tricky Pennsylvania layout.

Unless your name is Denny Hamlin.

Making his first appearance at Pocono as a Cup Series rookie in 2006, Hamlin won the Pocono 500 after leading 83 of 200 laps and winning the pole in what was then a Joe Gibbs Racing Chevy.

Six weeks later, Hamlin and his Mike Ford-led team returned to Pocono and earned the same stunning result: victory from the pole. Only, in that race, the rookie driver led even more laps — 151 of the 200-lap race distance.

Hamlin, whose Pocono wins were his only ones as a rookie, would go on to make the Chase for the Championship and finish his first full season an impressive third in the final standings.

Hamlin has won at Pocono twice more since his 2006 double, but no driver, including Hamlin, has since managed to pull off the seasonal sweep.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Denny Hamlin needs wins to crack the top 20 and qualify for the Chase. His four wins at Pocono prove this is the place to get his playoff hopes back on track.

Pretty Solid Pick: No active driver can top Jeff Gordon’s six wins at Pocono.

Good Sleeper Pick: Kurt Busch and Furniture Row Racing have proven legit. A quirky track like Pocono can make for a quirky winner like Busch, who has two victories on the tri-oval.

Runs on Seven Cylinders: Kyle Busch’s 16 Cup starts at Pocono have netted zero wins and and only five top 10s.

Insider Tip: A win for either Hamlin or Gordon would be absolutely huge. Playoff implications lie in Pocono’s two summer dates.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, June 8, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is the best day of the year to think about how clear you are in your communication with others. Do you listen to others, and vice versa?

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The New Moon makes today the day to make resolutions about how to improve your money scene. What can you do to earn more? What can you do to save more?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place today. Take a realistic look in the mirror to discover what you can do to improve your appearance.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It's important to be aware of your beliefs. What gives you guidelines? What do you do to balance the busyness of your days?

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Friendships are important. Studies indicate that friends even improve our health. What kind of friend are you to your friends? Think about this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) What is your relationship to authority figures? Do you resent authority? Do you accept it? The New Moon today urges you to think about this.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) What further education can you get to improve your job or enhance the quality of your life? Think about taking a course or traveling to expand your horizons.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This might be the best day of the year to think about how to reduce your debt. You also might ponder how to redefine the boundaries of shared property.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today is the only New Moon all year that is opposite your sign. This means it's your chance to make resolutions about how to improve your partnerships and close friendships. Any ideas?

Happiness is liking what you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Our society places much emphasis on work and the success of earning money. But this is no guarantee of happiness. How well do you balance your work with fun and play?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is an excellent day to think about how to improve your family relationships and also how to improve your home. When things are solid at home, your world feels better.

YOU BORN TODAY You understand form and structure and have a very organized mind. You're careful, and you always consider the ramifications of whatever you do. Many of you easily learn technology. You're outspoken and frank, which endears you to some, but appalls others. Personally, you are courageous. In the year ahead, partnerships and your closest friendships will be your main focus.
