Troy student who made threats pleads guilty By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

Texas attorney general campaigns from wheelchair

TROY — The Troy Junior High School student who wrote a threat on a bathroom wall on Feb. 20 was found guilty in juvenile court Tuesday. The 14 year-old entered a plea of guilty to a charge of criminal mischief and must do community service and enroll in counseling. He also was given probation and must write a letter of apology to Troy City Schools. The eighth grade student was incarcerated at West Central Juvenile Detention Center after Troy City Police’s School Resource Officer found the boy who was responsible for the threat at the end of the school day in February after a rash of school threats that month. The threat read: “Everyone going to die on 2/27/13.” Handwriting samples, as well as teachers keeping track of stu-

dents whereabouts, helped identify the boy quickly, according to school officials during the time of the threats. Teachers had been on heightened alert due to a threat found at Troy High School on Feb. 18. The person responsible for the Troy High School threat was never determined, according to Troy City Police. On Feb. 18, a student notified a teacher about a threat written on the wall of the boys’ restroom on the second floor at Troy High School. The message was written on the bathroom wall and read: “Every one in school will die 2/22/13.” School officials and school resource officers attributed the junior high incident to a “copy cat” of the high school threats. According to a February interview with Troy Junior High School’s School Resource Office Chris Madigan, all schools were on heightened alert during the threats which occurred at the high school and at Tipp City

High School in February. At the time of the incidents, Madigan said teachers and staff kept a running list of students in and out of the classroom, locking down bathrooms and limiting hallway passes. Madigan said the threat was found written on the partition in a boys’ bathroom after a search of bathrooms and other areas were made after lunch and again at the end of the day on Feb. 20. It was the only threat made at the Troy Junior High School after a rash of threats were found in the Tipp City Schools and one found Tuesday at Troy High School. Troy City Schools’ Superintendent Eric Herman alertedd parents of the messages with One Call Now messages. The two juveniles found in connection to the rash of threats found at Tipp City Schools were both acquitted in juvenile court last spring.

Participants of the Summer Reading Program “Beneath the Surface” including 6th through 12th grades were able to paint a rock or create a creature using paint and rocks Tuesday at the library. The Troy-Miami County Public Library will host its final summer reading program event August 2 at 1 p.m. Program participants will have the opportunity to meet children’s book illustrators Christopher and Jeanette Canyon from Columbus.

The Tipp City Board of Education met Monday night to discuss safety and new school buildings. The board also approved the placement of a library renewal levy on the ballot. The district is still looking for more ways to make Tipp City schools safer for students. Superintendent John Kronour recently met with City Manager Jon Crusey to discuss the possibility of adding another school resource officer. Kronour will also discuss the topic with City Council next month. The process of hiring and training a new police officer takes about one year. “We are still exploring that option and looking at whether or not there might

William, Kate, show off newborn royal baby boy LONDON (AP) — A beaming Prince William and his wife, Kate, emerged from a London hospital on Tuesday with their newborn baby boy, presenting the world with a first glimpse of the prince who is third in line to the British throne. The royal couple, both 31, looked happy and relaxed as they waved at the crowds of journalists and onlookers gathered outside London’s St. Mary’s Hospital, posing for photographs and joking with reporters. Kate, wearing a baby blue polka dot Jenny Packham dress, smiled and waved as she stepped out from the hospital doors with the future monarch in her arms. “It’s very emotional. It’s such a special time. I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like,” she told journalists. Kate then gave the baby to her husband, who, cradling their child, said: “He’s got her looks, thankfully. He’s got a good pair of lungs on him, that’s for sure.” William added: “He’s a big boy. He’s quite heavy,” and laughed when a reporter asked him about the baby’s hair. “He’s got way more than me, thank God,” he said.

Britain’s Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge hold the Prince of Cambridge Tuesday as they pose for photographers outside St. Mary’s Hospital exclusive Lindo Wing in London where the Duchess gave birth on Monday July 22. The Royal couple are expected to head to London’s Kensington Palace from the hospital with their newly born son, the third in line to the British throne.

The couple also revealed that William has had a go at changing the infant’s first diaper. “He’s very good at it,” Kate said. The new parents drew whoops and excited applause from well-wishers as they revealed the newest member of Britain’s royal family. William said they’re still trying to decide what to name the little prince.

The couple re-entered the hospital to place the child in a car seat before re-emerging to get into an SUV. William drove them away — palace officials said they will head to an apartment in Kensington Palace and spend the night there. The young family’s first public appearance together

MIAMI COUNTY — Miami County Sheriff’s Office detectives still are looking for individuals who have been selling meat out of a freezer in the bed of a pick-up truck who may possibly be connected to a daytime burglary in Bethel Township earlier this week. According to Miami County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Dave Duchak, a white Dodge Ram pick-up truck was in the neighborhood prior to the burglary. The vehicle was described to have had a freezer with meat in the back as the individuals went door-to-door selling the products. The Bethel Township home was burglarized on Sunday. The door of the home was kicked in and jewelry and electronics were reported stolen. Neighbors had reported the white Dodge Ram pick-up truck in the area around the same time the burglary had taken place, Duchak said. Duchak said the sheriff’s office was flooded with phone calls about the vehicle selling the meat out of the truck in the last several weeks. “We’re confident in the information we have received from the public to identify the individuals involved,” Duchak said Tuesday. “The detective units are working on it.” Duchak reminded the public to stay vigilant and to report any suspicious vehicles in their neighborhoods. The sheriff’s office reminds the public to “See something, Say something” and call (937) 440-9911 for non-emergency reports. For more information, visit www.miamicountysheriff.org.

Monday. The news was greeted with shrieks of joy and applause by hundreds of Britons and tourists gathered outside the hospital’s private Lindo Wing and Buckingham Palace. Revelers st aged impromptu parties at both locations, and large crowds crushed against the palace gates to try to catch a glimpse — and a photograph — of the golden easel placed there to formally announce the birth. Hundreds were still lining up outside the palace gates Tuesday to get near the ornate easel. In London, gun salutes were fired, celebratory lights came on, and bells chimed at Westminster Abbey, where William and Kate wed in a lavish ceremony that drew millions of television viewers worldwide. Halfway around the world, royalist group Monarchy New Zealand said it had organized a national light show, with 40 buildings across the islands lit up in blue to commemorate the royal birth, including Sky Tower in Auckland, the airport in Christchurch, and Larnach Castle in the South Island city of Dunedin. A similar lighting ceremony took place in Canada; Peace Tower and

Parliament buildings in the capital, Ottawa, were bathed in blue light, as was CN Tower in Toronto. The baby is just a day old — and may not be named for days or even weeks — but he already has a building dedicated to him. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said an enclosure at Sydney’s Taronga Park Zoo would be named after the prince as part of a gift from Australia. The government would donate 10,000 Australian dollars ($9,300) on the young prince’s behalf toward a research project at the zoo to save the endangered bilby, a rabbit-like marsupial whose numbers are dwindling in the wild. British media joined in the celebration, with many newspapers printing souvenir editions. “It’s a Boy!” was splashed across many front pages, while Britain’s topselling The Sun newspaper temporarily changed its name to “The Son” in honor of the tiny monarchin-waiting. The birth is the latest driver of a surge in popularity for Britain’s monarchy, whose members have evolved, over several decades of social and technological change, from distant figures to characters in a well-loved

district has received word from the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC), the agency responsible for the state’s public school construction program, that the district is next in line for funding. The district only has to decide to accept OFCC funding by September, school officials will have more time to finalize a design later. A bond issue will have to be placed on either the November 2014 or May 2015 ballot. If the voters approve the bond issue, the design and construction process will begin. The district was offered 28 percent matching funds in January but chose not

to move forward with the process. School officials will find out how much funding the district will be offered sometime next month. In March the facilities commission narrowed it down to two possible construction plans: building one large K-8 school around LT Ball or building a new K-5 school around LT Ball and renovating the middle school. According to Kronour, the facilities commission is “leaning towards” the first option. Board members Carla Frame and Kate Johnsen expressed some hesitation at moving forward with the plan now, since the district has had trouble passing levies in recent years. “We’ve talked about it now for over two years; we’ve had committees, we’ve had meetings, we’ve had a lot of discussions with the board,” board member Scott Dixon said. “I’m not sure why the board wouldn’t be in agreement to move forward and see where this leads. We all agree, I think, that we’ve got major facility issues that we have to address.” Board member Frank Maus said that the board shouldn’t turn down millions in state funding without first asking the voters. If the district decides not to move forward at this time, Tipp City will still remain on the OFCC’s funding list. The board also approved a resolution that adds a .75 mill library renewal levy to the November bal-

lot. This levy, which is not a new tax, will generate about $290,000, a third of the library’s funding. Construction on Main Street has slowed, but not stopped, patrons from visiting the library. Before construction closed the Third Street intersection, circulation was up 10 percent from last year. Since then, however, circulation has been down 20 percent. “We were doing okay until they closed Third Street,” Library Director Anthony Orsini said. Johnsen, a regular library patron, pointed out that the library has the best window for watching the construction. Church of the Nazarene Children’s Pastor Brian Reinicke gave the board an update on the elementary school backpack program organized by the church. The program began last year and delivered more than 200 meals. It is now expanding to cover LT Ball as well. Every Friday, students in the program are sent home with enough food for the weekend: two breakfasts, two dinners, and some snacks. The program costs about $1.50 a week per child, meaning that a child can be sponsored for $65 per school year. Teachers, administrators, and community members identify students who might not be getting enough to eat and anonymously refer them to the program. The church and

the Shared Harvest food bank work together with the schools to discreetly deliver packages of canned goods and snacks to the student in need. Apart from the individual who referred them to the program and Pastor Reinicke, no one knows the names of the families enrolled in the program. Currently 12 students are enrolled, though, as the program begins its second year, Reinicke hopes to be able to help more struggling families. The board welcomed new teachers Brittany Moore, who will teach elementary music, and Cassandra Schoch, who will replace Mike Vagedes as a fifth grade teacher at LT Ball. The board also confirmed Vagedes’ appointment as the new middle school principal. Board member Johnsen introduced the idea of beginning a new student board representative program. Inspired by other districts with similar programs, Johnsen suggested that the board allow one or two high school students to act as student representatives to the board. The other board members and Superintendent Kronour agreed that student representatives would be able to provide a high school student’s perspective on district issues and give them a hands-on introduction to the democratic process.

n Continued from page 1 be some possible funding from the city, coupled with our funding we could be able to figure out a way to have two officers,” Kronour said. According to Kronour, the district has received approval from the city to give DARE Officer Dan Rittenhouse his own office on campus. When not performing his duties as a DARE officer, he will act as another SRO for the elementary schools. Administrators are continuing to work with local police and the FBI to improve security and create new emergency response plans. Active shooter response training with

FBI Agent Tim Ferguson is scheduled for staff in August. District officials are also looking into the Centurion wireless panic button system from StopTech. The system would allow staff to alert local police of an emergency with the press of a panic button. The system is pretty pricey, according to Kronour, but the district is considering all of its options. “The district is soliciting input from the community through the blog right now,” Kronour said. The superintendent’s blog can be found on the district’s website at www. tippcityschools.com. The

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Columbus Dispatch Recent summers have seen blooms of toxic algae recurring in Ohio’s lakes, including Lake Erie. Just last week, an algae bloom on the Canadian side of the lake closed some beaches. These incidents underline the need to control the ingredients that feed the blooms. A bill introduced last month in the Ohio legislature gets to one of those sources: fertilizer that runs off farm fields and into waterways. Senate Bill 150, introduced by Sens. Cliff Hite, R-Findlay, and Bob Peterson, R-Sabina, would allow the Ohio Department of Agriculture to train and certify farmers in the correct application of fertilizer, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources would have the authority to cite farmers for pollution if too much fertilizer washes off their fields. But this fall, as lawmakers consider granting these powers, they should carefully examine a provision that would put records off limits to the public. Farmers say their fertilizer use and plans for crop rotation are proprietary information that could give competitors a leg up. Otherwise, the bill’s aim is laudable. Recreation in Ohio’s inland lakes and Lake Erie is a multibillion-dollar industry. It has been threatened in recent years by the explosive growth in blue-green algae blooms, also known as cyanobacteria, which produce powerful poisons that can harm the nerves, liver, kidneys and skin of people, especially children, and animals that touch or drink the water. Setting some best practices for fertilizer use and some consequences for bad practices is a good start. The (Toledo) Blade Most Americans probably believe that society has become more dangerous over the past 30 years — and certainly that homicide rates among young people have risen. The fear of such violence has been fomented, at least in part, by a barrage of sometimes sensational media coverage focused on mass shootings, gangs, and urban violence. Shortsighted politicians have exploited these fears. They have enacted a range of failed tough-on-crime measures, such as imposing mandatory minimum sentences and eliminating parole. Despite the hype, the facts on violence and public safety offer hope. The homicide rate for older children and young adults is at its lowest point in at least 30 years, according to a new report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention…. No one knows why homicides have dropped, though not steadily, over the past three decades. Theories — some of them bizarre — include the availability of legalized abortion, reductions in the amount of lead that children are exposed to, and even improved trauma care that boosts survival rates. The United States remains one of the world’s most violent nations. Firearms were used in nearly 80 percent of all homicides over the past three decades. Young African-Americans continue to be killed at rates nearly four times higher than the average for all young people. Moreover, progress for all groups appears to be slowing. As communities and states combat violence, reason and pragmatism must guide their efforts — not exaggerated fears or the failed policies of the past. The Marietta Times This summer has brought a fundamental change to the status of the Ohio Turnpike. No longer is it a stand-alone venture. The turnpike commission authorized the sale of $1 billion in bonds to fund highway projects in Ohio. The bonds would be paid by 2.7 percent toll increases annually for 10 years. Until now, tolls had paid for maintenance and operation of the 241-mile road through northern Ohio. The system may have worked too well; the toll road now is an asset to be leveraged for funds to improve highways elsewhere in the state. Concerns about this approach are understandable; something similar happened to Ohio liquor profits, now used — indirectly, yet undeniably — to fund JobsOhio, the economic development agency privatized by Gov. John Kasich…. Yes, the turnpike wasn’t broken, so it didn’t need to be fixed. Yet, toll revenues are to be detoured to fix the state’s transportation infrastructure. The real risk is whether the tolls will follow the pattern of postage stamp price increases, with higher costs resulting in lower usage which, in turn, leads to higher fees. But if annual toll increases don’t chase traffic onto other roads, and the state transportation department makes efficient, effective use of the added funds, the loss of the turnpike’s independence may seem like a worthy trade.

LETTERS Thank you for your support To the Editor: I would just like to send out a sincere thank you to all of you who kept our family in your thoughts and prayers during my father’s recent illness. We were truly humbled by the cards and letters we received during his illness and the phone calls, emails and text messages after his passing. My father always valued friends and family above all else during his life — and it was truly refreshing to see all of those friends

and family, many of whom had fallen out of contact over the years — come back into his life when he needed them most. Losing my father was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to go through. But knowing we were surrounded by so much love made the painful moments a little more bearable. You won’t soon be forgotten. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and compassion. — Jenny Lane Troy

The city rewards anyone who can’t escape its boundaries — more than a million people have since 1950, when it had 1.8 million residents — with stifling taxes in a futile attempt to keep up with spending. It has the highest per capita tax burden in Michigan, despite the low per capita income of its residents. It can’t even collect its taxes well. An Internal Revenue Service audit called its tax system “catastrophic.” None of this is the product of the “creative destruction” of capitalism; it is the destructive destruction of corrupt statism. Despite globalization, urban America is alive and well outside of Detroit. Pittsburgh experienced similar economic dislocation when the steel industry collapsed, but hasn’t descended into an urban dystopia. Cities in the South like Houston and Raleigh, N.C., are economically vibrant and attractive to new residents. The way Detroit was once, a very long time ago.

Covington to see increase in state funding By Jennifer Runyon For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

COVINGTON – When the Ohio General Assembly passed the new biennium budget, it brought good news for Covington Exempted Village School district with an increase in state funding. This in turn brought a salary increase to members of the Covington Education Association (CEA) and Covington Classified Employees Association (OAPSE). Through the new biennium budget, the district will see a 6.25 percent increase in state funding in fiscal year 2014 and a 6.21 percent increase in fiscal year 2015. A c c o rd i n g to Superintendent David Larson, district leaders were not projecting any change from the state. Both organizations ratified the agreements during the last month and the board of education approved the new contracts at their June

and July meetings. All employees took a salary freeze during the last contract negotiations passed in 2011. There also were changes in health care benefits that helped reduce the district’s operating costs. These benefits will remain the same in the new contract. The recently passed negotiations are only for one year. “There’s so much uncertainty in terms of state financing we’re not predicting any changes but we thought we better just take it one year at a time,” Larson said. Larson said the increased funding will allow the district to “increase spending on student instructional opportunities.” He said these will begin with technology needs and intervention strategies. He also said district leaders may look in to its textbook purchasing strategy although he sees a reason to wait on this. “You always have that thought in your mind that we may be going to

e-books sooner rather than later,” he said. Larson said that any additions made would be transportable to the new building when completed. He citied the wireless technology being installed at the elementary and middle schools this summer saying that “all access points will be transportable.” He added that the district may look in to using such programs as Yearly Progress Pro and Study Island more. These are programs used by students, parents and teachers last year. The additional funding may allow the district to use the programs in new and more in-depth ways. In the past, positions were reduced through retirements in order to reduce the district’s operating expenses. There is no plan to replace these positions. The state funding will have no impact on the district’s building project. According to Larson, everything remains as it was when passed in May.

environment and assess pollution risks to the air and groundwater. The process requires a 200-foot-tall drilling rig and a set of industrial pumps to send millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals below ground to shatter the shale and free trapped oil and gas. The proposed shale well is one of several Ohio State projects related to the controversial drilling process.

U.S. and other countries push up the price of crude oil and gasoline. The cheapest average gas price in Ohio Monday was $3.47 in the Toledo area.

OHIO BRIEFS Ohio speeding up road projects with turnpike bonds TOLEDO (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich is laying out the state’s plan to speed up highway and bridge construction projects across Ohio. Money from the sale of Ohio Turnpike bonds will go toward 27 transportation projects in the northern half of the state over the next two years. Another 14 projects in central and southern Ohio also are being moved ahead, too. All told, it’s about $3 billion in road projects. The state says many of the projects would have been delayed for years or decades without the turnpike money. Lawmakers earlier this year signed off on the governor’s proposal to raise money for state highway projects through turnpike bonds. Among the projects being speeded up are the innerbelt bridge construction in Cleveland and the widening of Interstate 75 in Toledo.

Pope’s Brazil security questioned after mob scene RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian security forces blamed each other on Tuesday for the mob scenes that erupted around Pope Francis when he was dogged by a frantic crowd of faithful Catholics after his arrival in the country. The chaotic crowds mobbing Francis on Monday afternoon raised questions about what plans are in place to protect the pontiff, and who is responsible for carrying them out. No one took responsibility for the traffic fiasco, which began when the driver of the car the pope was riding in made a wrong turn, following the lead car in an official motorcade. It was unclear who was in that first vehicle, or what agency the driver worked for. The Federal Police are mostly in charge of the pope’s security in Brazil, though when he travels to a rural part of Rio this weekend, the army will secure the massive pasture where he’ll celebrate Mass. Officials with the Federal Police who have control of the pope’s security in urban Rio told the local press that the blame belonged to Federal Highway Police. But highway police officials said they were just following specifications laid out by the Federal Police. Neither agency returned calls seeking more information on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Rio mayor’s office said it knew noth-

ing about the plan for the pope’s travel from the airport to the city center while even the secretary general for President Dilma Rousseff said he didn’t know who was to blame but that he was “relieved” no harm came to Francis. Rio Transportation Secretary Carlos Osorio said the Fiat Francis was riding in from the airport to the city center inadvertently turned into the wrong side of a 12-lane thoroughfare, known as Avenida Presidente Vargas. Instead of taking the left lanes that were free of traffic, the car turned into the right lanes cluttered with buses and taxis, forcing the pontiff’s car to stop, he said. It wasn’t the best means to project confidence on security arrangements for a nation that saw widespread anti-government protests paralyze scores of cities last month and that’s preparing to host the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. “I was so surprised! Maybe I’m looking at it from a foreign perspective, but it seemed odd that the people were allowed that close on the roads,” said the Rev. Joseph Tan, a priest from the Philippines, echoing the reaction of many in Rio for the papal visit. “In the Philippines, people would have gathered to get a glimpse, but nothing like what we saw. But that’s the pope’s personality, he was just being himself.”

AP Photo In this photo provided by the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano on Tuesday, July 23, 2013, Pope Francis speaks with Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff during a welcome ceremony at Guanabara Palace in Rio de Janeiro, Monday. Pope Francis returned to his home continent for the first time as pontiff, embarking on a seven-day visit meant to fan the fervor of the faithful around the globe.

on Wednesday, a Way of the Cross procession on Friday, and a weekend vigil and Mass in a rural part of Rio. Lombardi said the pontiff deliberately chose to use the same car he uses in St. Peter’s Square, and not the bulletproof popemobile, to be closer to people and interact with them. But that square is a closed and controlled; Vatican and Italian police ring the square, the faithful are fenced into pens, and bodyguards trail the car at all times. But how Vatican and Brazilian authorities decide to organize his security going forward is ultimately not the pope’s responsibility, Lombardi said. “Obviously he desires to have a possibly very direct contact with the people. This is clear, and not a militarization of the situation,” said the spokesman. “But the concrete solutions are not chosen by him.” Authorities in Brazil earlier said about 10,000 police officers and more than 14,000 soldiers would take part in the overall papal security plan, but on Monday virtually no uniformed officers

The mob scene didn’t seem to faze Francis, however. The “slum pope,” as he was dubbed in his native Argentina for the amount of time he spent in dangerous, impoverished areas, smiled as his car was surrounded. He kept his window rolled down and even kissed a baby passed into the vehicle by its mother. Papal spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi made clear that despite the mobs, Francis wouldn’t change his decision to use an openair vehicle and specifically planned to use the open car for the very events expected to draw the largest crowds: a speech on Copacabana beach

were seen along the route as Francis was mobbed by the crowds. There were few barricades set up along the route and thousands of faithful easily made their way onto streets that were meant to be shut off from the public. In some places along the route, people could be seen forming “human chains” to keep the crowds at bay. About three dozen plainclothes officers including the pope’s personal bodyguards and some Brazilian officers were seen surrounding the pope’s vehicles, trying desperately to push the crowds back Paulo Storani, a Rio-based security consultant who spent nearly 30 years on the city’s police force and was a captain in an elite unit used to clear out slums, said the fiasco seen Monday had to be analyzed in two ways. “From the point of view of a head of state, and the pope is a head of state, it’s unacceptable what happened. The proximity people had with him was a huge risk, even for his image,” Storani said. “On the other hand, in the case of a head of a church and having a charismatic figure like this pope, the situation is different because he wants to be close to the people. “The police intelligence

units have to do a lot more work to detect potential threats to the pope’s security and there needs to be a bigger presence of plainclothes officers in the middle of the masses to ensure his security,” he added. There was no word on whether Francis would agree to a heavier security presence when he travels to the city of Aparecida on Wednesday, or holds a meeting with Catholic youth on Copacabana beach that is expected to draw a crowd of 1 million on Thursday. But many changes seemed unlikely. Francis made clear even before he was pope that the Catholic Church must stop being so closed and self-referential and go to the edges of the world to interact with the most marginalized. Many cardinals point to a speech Francis made as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, days before he was elected pope, as the mission statement that essentially got him elected. In that pre-conclave speech, Bergoglio said the church must “move toward the peripheries, not only geographic but also existential: those of sin, suffering, injustice, ignorance and religious abstention, thought and all misery.” “When the church does not emerge from itself to evangelize, it becomes self-referential and therefore becomes sick. … The evils that, over time, occur in ecclesiastical institutions have their root in (being self-referential), a kind of theological narcissism,” Bergoglio said then. After becoming pope, he followed those words up with actions even before his Rio trip. His first parish visit in Rome was to a church in a poor neighborhood on the capital’s farthest outskirts. His first trip outside Rome was to the most peripheral part of Italy, Lampedusa, a speck of an island closer to Africa than the Italian mainland, where he mourned the deaths of refugees trying to reach Europe.

Ex-partner accuses Bulger of pedophilia in trial while leading the notorious Winter Hill Gang. He fled Boston in 1994 and was one of the nation’s most-wanted fugitives until he was captured in California two years ago. Flemmi, 79, has pleaded guilty to 10 murders and is serving a life sentence. Testifying Monday, Flemmi acknowledged that he twice had oral sex with Hussey in what he called “a moment of weakness.” Flemmi said Hussey’s mother, Marion, had been his live-in girlfriend since Hussey was just a toddler and that she had called him “Daddy” from a young age. “A girl who called you ‘Daddy’ consented to sex with you?” Brennan asked. Flemmi said the sexual contact took place when Hussey became “a different person” because of “her demeanor, her lifestyle.” He said she had been frequenting Boston’s Combat Zone, then a center of drugs and prostitution. Neither Brennan nor Flemmi specified how old Hussey was at the time. She was 26 when she was killed in 1985. Turning his testimony to her death, Flemmi said he reluctantly agreed to bring Hussey to a home in South Boston. “Jim Bulger stepped out from behind the top of the basement stairs and grabbed her by the throat and started strangling her,” Flemmi said. “He lost his balance and they both fell on the floor, and he continued strangling her.”

BOSTON (AP) — The star witness at the trial of James “Whitey” Bulger, the reputed gangster’s former partner, tried Tuesday to counter the defense’s claims that he’s a pedophile by lobbing the same accusation back at Bulger. Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi had acknowledged in testimony that he engaged in oral sex with his longtime girlfriend’s teenage daughter, Deborah Hussey, who had called him “Daddy.” Flemmi also testified that Bulger strangled Hussey after she started using drugs, getting arrested and dropping their names when she got in trouble. But Bulger’s lawyer Hank Brennan pressed Flemmi on his assertion and suggested that Flemmi, not Bulger, killed Hussey after she told her mother he molested her. Flemmi didn’t want to be seen as a pedophile, Brennan said. But Flemmi said that if Brennan wanted to talk about pedophilia, “right over there at that table,” gesturing toward where Bulger was seated. Bulger glanced at Flemmi but did not visibly react. Flemmi had told jurors earlier that Bulger once took a 16-year-old girl to Mexico with him. He did not say when that was. Flemmi was in his fourth day testifying against the reputed Boston crime boss at Bulger’s racketeering trial. Bulger, 83, is accused of participating in 19 killings during the 1970s and ’80s

AP Photo Defendant James “Whitey” Bulger is driven from U.S. District Court in Boston, Monday after his murder and racketeering trial ended for the day. Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi, the ex-partner of Bulger, says Bulger killed Flemmi’s stepdaughter because she was using drugs, getting arrested and dropping their names when she got in trouble.

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Thursday, July 25, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to do research or seek out solutions for past problems. You might be surprised by your success rate. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions with others in a group might rehash old problems. And perhaps this time, you will see things in a new light. One can only hope. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Talk to people in authority about financial matters today, especially your earnings or regarding something you own. You just might get what you want if you are direct about it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good day to finalize plans regarding travel or higher education that you have been considering for some time. Think of it as wrapping up your chance for a dream. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your feelings of sympathy for someone who is less fortunate might prompt you to be generous. Probably, you've been considering this for a while. (Kindness is a good thing.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Discussions with partners and close friends might re-examine something that was previously discussed. Perhaps this time you are more sympathetic to see the other person's point of view. And vice versa. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) At work today, you will find that there is a mutual support and sympathy between co-workers. Good -this makes things easier and promotes production. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This can be a creative day for you. You might want to make vacation plans, socialize with others or dream up artistic solutions. Playful times with children also will appeal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good day to organize your mess at home. Go back and plow through boxes and old material that you haven't looked at for a while. (You'll love yourself for this later.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your imagination might be the key to solving a problem today. Something from the past has to be looked at again, and you know it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If shopping today, guard against going overboard buying luxurious elegance. Yes, it's wonderful, but can your budget handle it? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You're tuned in to the wants and needs of others today because your Spidey sense is heightened. You might find that others are equally tuned in, and you can communicate at a subtle level. YOU BORN TODAY You are a seeker. You hunger for adventure and the stimulation of exotic, faraway places. You have a great imagination, and you are an idealist. Many of you live for your dreams. Personally, you are honorable, trustworthy and noble. (And you will defend your honor!) This year your primary focus is on relationships, partnerships and close friendships. Enjoy. Birthdate of: Heather Marks, model; James Lafferty, actor; Eric Hoffer, philosopher.

Today

(AP) — Today is Wednesday, July 24, the 205th day of 2013. There are 160 days left in the year. On this date: In 1783, Latin American revolutionary Simon Bolivar (seeMOHN' boh-LEE'-vahr) was born in Caracas, Venezuela. In 1862, Martin Van Buren, the eighth president of the United States, and the first to have been born a U.S. citizen, died at age 79 in Kinderhook, N.Y., the town where he was born in 1782. In 1866, Tennessee became the first state to be readmitted to the Union after the Civil War. In 1911, Yale University history professor Hiram Bingham III found the "Lost City of the Incas," Machu Picchu, in Peru. In 1923, the Treaty of Lausanne, which settled the boundaries of modern Turkey, was concluded in Switzerland. In 1937, the state of Alabama dropped charges against four of the nine young black men accused of raping two white women in the "Scottsboro Case." In 1952, President Harry S.

House GOP, Democrats clash over immigration WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans took a tentative step toward offering citizenship to some unauthorized immigrants Tuesday, but hit an immediate wall of resistance from the White House on down as Democrats said it wasn’t enough. The dismissive reaction to the GOP proposal to offer eventual citizenship to some immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children underscored the difficulties of finding any compromise in the Republican-led House on the politically explosive issue of immigration. That left prospects cloudy for one of President Barack Obama’s top second-term priorities. Congress is preparing to break for a monthlong summer recess at the end of next week without action in the full House on any immigration legislation, even after the Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan bill last month to secure the borders and create a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants already in the country illegally. The back-and-forth began hours before the House Judiciary Committee opened a hearing Tuesday afternoon on the question of legal status for immigrants brought here as children. House

AP Photo A family, originally from Bolivia, pauses from gathering peaches at a pick-your-own farm in Northern Virginia near Washington, Sunday, July 21, 2013.

Republican leaders have embraced offering citizenship to such immigrants, and Majority Leader Eric Cantor is working on a bill toward the goal along with Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte. They haven’t released their bill yet but that didn’t stop Democrats from dismissing it even before the hearing began, saying that any solution that doesn’t offer citizenship to all 11 million immigrants here illegally falls short.

Over Twitter, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer slammed “the cruel hypocrisy of the GOP immigration plan: allow some kids to stay but deport their parents.” That got a counterattack from Cantor spokesman Rory Cooper. “If White House opposes effort to give children path to staying in only country they know, how serious are they about immigration reform?” Cooper responded over Twitter.

sounded like an explosion. It’s unclear why the tree fell, apart from speculation that it may have been weakened by Hurricane Alicia a year earlier. “Texans believe in overcoming obstacles and rising above challenges,” Abbott said. “I want to be a representative for that hope and opportunity for everyone — a visible, tangible sign that it doesn’t matter what challenges we face, both individually and as a state, we can rise above those challenges.” Abbott lives openly with his disability. His first video in the run-up to his longexpected candidacy was a nearly five-minute piece about the accident narrated by Fred Thompson, the former U.S. senator and star of “Law & Order.” Daniel Hodge, Abbott’s first assistant attorney general who has worked with him for a decade, acknowledged that campaigning with a candidate in a wheelchair requires “more logistical thought.” “Most stages don’t have ramps. Most stages have stairs,” he said. After her husband’s accident, Cecilia Abbott feared the worst. The young newlyweds had moved to the big city only a month earlier. Greg Abbott had a job lined up at a law firm and was taking his bar exam in a week. Their adult lives were about to start. Cecilia called it “the big dream.” “Almost immediately, I felt like, ‘Well, that’s all gone,” she said. Four days later, doctors installed two steel rods into Abbott’s back. The former athlete who ran track in high school needed a year for rehabilitation. Their landlord widened the bathroom doors in their apartment and installed a ramp. On the campaign trail, applause reliably greets his go-to line: Unlike politicians who say they have a spine of steel, Abbott literally has one. Abbott sued the property owner of the tree and collected millions, but has never revealed the full settlement. Democrats have accused Abbott of hypocrisy by helping make civil lawsuits increasingly difficult to file and win in Texas. Abbott says someone rendered disabled as he was could still sue under the same circumstances today.

HOUSTON (AP) — The stage at a Houston honky-tonk has a wheelchair ramp. At another rally, Greg Abbott’s aides lay plywood boards on the ground to make a smooth path over wet grass. Other stops have no speaking platform, making it hard for standing crowds to see the candidate at all. It’s another day on the campaign trail for Abbott, the longtime Texas attorney general who is paralyzed from the waist down, as he tells voters his personal and political story from a wheelchair in his bid to succeed Gov. Rick Perry. “We’ve got a nice alleyway now,” a staff member says as Abbott prepares to roll through a receiving line of supporters. Abbott, 55, lost use of both legs in 1984 after a tree crashed onto him while jogging. Almost three decades later, he is the early favorite to replace Perry, who will not seek another term next year. If Abbott wins, he would become the nation’s first elected governor in a wheelchair since 1982, when George Wallace won his final term in Alabama. His only challenger so far derides him as the “anointed one” of Texas Republicans. But that prestige comes with a strange reality: Some voters are still unaware of Abbott’s personal history and disability, despite the fact that he’s been the state’s top lawenforcement official for a decade. “I was shocked a little bit. You see him on Fox News and different people,” said Charlcie Penny, whose sonin-law is Republican strategist Mike Toomey, Perry’s onetime chief of staff and former college roommate. To get better acquainted with supporters, Abbott told and retold the story of the accident this month during a 10-city tour across Texas that drew crowds of Republicans, many reinvigorated by a fresh face after 14 years of Perry, the state’s longest-serving governor. Abbott was an ambitious 26-year-old law student in Houston when he took a break from his studies and went for a jog to clear his mind. In the middle of the run, a 75-foot oak tree crushed him with the crack of splintering wood that

Cozart finished 4 for 4 with two RBIs and three runs to back Tony

He headed back to the Arizona Rookie League after the game to fulfill the final five days required after being optioned previously to the minors. He could return to start Sunday for Cincinnati.

Newton High School graduate Matt Westfall has been racing since he was six years old. He currently ranks eighth in the UMP DIRTcar Modified National point standings.

Competitive spirit

Westfall doing big things in racing By Colin Foster Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia. com Matt Westfall started racing go-karts when he was six years old, and he hasn’t stopped racing competitively since. And the way things have gone for him, why would he stop? Westfall, a 1996 graduate of Newton High School, raced karts until he was 16, before making the transition to micro sprint racing. Then in 1997, Westfall started running full-size midget cars, which are mini versions of sprint cars — and it didn’t take him long for him to make a name for himself. In 1998, Westfall was awarded the NAMARS Midgets Rookie of the Year, along with winning the points championship. A few years later in 2001, he joined the USAC Silver Crown series, and once again, Westfall won the series and Rookie of the Year honors. He finished the series as a two-time champion. He

also won back-to-back Sprint Series titles at Waynesfield Raceway Park in 2010 and 2011. Fast-forward to today, and Westfall is still going strong at 36 and works with the same crew that’s always been by his side in Phil Westfall, Dave Deaton, Jeremy Cornett and Mel Egbert. “We’ve won a bunch of races, I don’t even know how many times we’ve won,” Westfall said. Finishing on top is always the main priority for Westfall — and it doesn’t matter who he’s going against. Westfall won the Gator Nationals qualifier in February at Florida, beating some of NASCAR’s hottest names in Kenny Schrader, Austin Dillon, Ty Dillon and Kenny Wallace. He has also raced against Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman in the past. This year, though, Westfall is racing for a different team, Best Performance Motorsports, which actually has a truck running at today’s NASCAR Camping

World Truck Series at Eldora Speedway. Westfall’s teammate Jeff Babcock will be competing in the event for their team, which is also sponsored by bulkmateriallift.com. As of July 14, Westfall ranks eighth in the UMP DIRTcar Modified National point standings, with six first-place finishes on the season. He is second overall in the Northeast standings and also has a race win at Waynesfield under his belt this year. While racing throughout the years has provided Matt with a steady income, he said his dream is to one day run in NASCAR. But he understands that it’s all about making connections. “I’d love to run NASCAR,” Westfall said. “You’ve got to know the right people, and have a lot of money (to make it).” For now, though, he is just comfortable competing at a high level on a regular basis — after all, that’s what he’s done since age six.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Marvin Lewis sees it as a whole new series rather than a summer repeat. The Cincinnati Bengals agreed to be the focus of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” training camp series for the second time this summer. They also were in the cable spotlight in 2009 with an entirely different cast that reached the playoffs and flopped. “It is a lot different football team,” the Bengals coach said. “There are very few players on this squad that were here in ‘09, so there’s a lot of interesting positions, some battles that we’re going to have. There’s been quite a bit of change.” One thing hasn’t changed: the knack for falling flat in the postseason. The Bengals have been to the playoffs each of the last two seasons and lost to Houston both times. Those poor performances extended the seventhlongest stretch of playoff futility in NFL history — no postseason win since the 1990 season. Andy Dalton is entering his third season as the starting quarterback, and young players like receiver A.J. Green and defensive tackle Geno Atkins have emerged as stars. While HBO’s audience watches, the Bengals will try to fine-tune a roster that returns nearly intact from last season and knows the stakes. Five things to know as the Bengals prepare to open training camp with cameras rolling at their first practice at Paul Brown Stadium on Thursday. 1. It’s Dalton’s Time: He needs to take a big step in his third season. Dalton is the first Bengals quarterback to reach the playoffs in each of his first two seasons. He has 47 touchdown passes, trailing only Dan Marino and Peyton Manning for most in the first two seasons. But he’s had two awful playoff games — no touchdowns, four interceptions and a 48.6 passer rating. He overthrew an open Green in the end zone late in the playoff loss at Houston last season. Dalton has been • See BENGALS on page 17

Players deplore doping rather than defending users NEW YORK (AP) — Protective no more, baseball players are downright disgusted these days with doping. Now they are demanding even stiffer suspensions for those caught cheating. “It’s a new generation of athletes that are standing up,” Travis Tygart, chief executive of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, said Tuesday. “The culture’s been flipped on its head.” When Ryan Braun accepted a season-ending 65-game suspension Monday rather than fight Major League Baseball over evidence he used performanceenhancing drugs, fellow players appeared tired of those who cast shadows on the sport. “They’re lying to the fans,” Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson said. “They’re lying to their teammates. They’re lying to their GMs, their owners, and they’re going to get caught.”

Skip Schumaker of the Los Angeles Dodgers said Braun, the 2011 NL MVP for the Milwaukee Brewers, let him down. “Watching him talk right now makes me sick,” Schumaker said. “I have an autographed Braun jersey in my baseball room that I’ll be taking down. I don’t want my son identifying what I’ve worked so hard to get to and work so hard to have — I don’t want him comparing Braun to me.” Matt Kemp of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who finished second to Braun in the 2011 MVP vote, said the Milwaukee slugger should be stripped of the honor. “We had conversations, and I considered him a friend,” Kemp said. “I don’t think anybody likes to be lied to, and I feel like a lot of people have felt betrayed.” New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Braun was guilty. “You don’t accept a deal unless you’re guilty,” he said.

“It’s another black eye for our game. I know this game is very resilient, and there’s been a lot of scandals over the years, but you get tired of it,” Girardi added. He may soon facing his own problem — with a teammate. More than a dozen players have been targeted by MLB in its probe of the closed anti-aging clinic Biogenesis of America, including three-time AL MVP Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees. The next step will be for MLB to inform the union of additional players it intends to penalize, which could happen as early as a meeting on Thursday, a person familiar with the probe said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. New York expects A-Rod could face a much harsher penalty than the one Braun agreed to, a second person familiar with the case said, also speaking on condition

of anonymity because no statements were authorized. The Yankees anticipate Rodriguez could be accused of using PEDs over multiple seasons, of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, of attempting to obstruct MLB’s investigation, and of not being truthful with MLB in the past when he discussed his relationship with Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty two years go to a U.S. federal charge of bringing unapproved drugs from Canada into the United States. Despite Braun’s suspension, Kemp has no shot at claiming the MVP trophy. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America has said repeatedly that it will not revisit any of its award votes. “The decision was already made. He won it,” said Jack O’Connell, the BBWAA’s secretary-treasurer.

NCAA seeks dismissal of Paterno family lawsuit Phil Mickelson celebrates after his final putt on the 18th green during Sunday’s final round of the British Open Golf Championship at Muirfield, Scotland.

A British Open to remember GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — On the day after a British Open that will be talked about for years, it was time for Muirfield to return to normal. Workers dismantled the green seats in all the grandstands. Trucks carried out supplies from the tented village. The blue name plates of players were removed from the lockers. Still towering over the 18th green was that enormous, glorious, yellow scoreboard with all the letters and numbers in place. “Well done, Phil. See you at Royal Liverpool.” On the left side of the board were the names, numbers and memories of Muirfield. Phil Mickelson with a red “3” next to his name, the only player under par. Henrik Stenson. Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Adam Scott. Zach Johnson, Hideki Matsuyama and — at the bottom — Tiger Woods. Four players had a share of the lead Sunday. Twice as many looked as though they might walk away with the claret jug. It might have been one of the best, deepest leaderboards in the final round of a major in 20 years. Last one: Inverness in the PGA Championship, when Paul Azinger beat Greg Norman in a playoff, and the contenders included Nick Faldo, Vijay Singh, Tom Watson, John Cook, Lanny Wadkins, and even a young Californian named Mickelson. Muirfield has the greatest collection of winners of any major championship — only two of its 16 champions aren’t in the Hall of Fame (one is Ted Ray, who should be). Every great course is due to have a dud for a major champion. Oakmont had Sam Parks Jr. Medinah had Lou Graham. There was no way that was going to happen at Muirfield. Of the nine players who had at least an outside chance on the back nine, it was a toss-up between Stenson and Hunter Mahan of those who had the least credentials. Stenson has won The Players Championship and a World Golf Championship. Mahan has two WGC titles and was playing in the final group at his second straight

major. That set the stage for Mickelson to play what he believes to be the best round of his career. By numbers alone, it was his lowest final round of a major. On a course that didn’t yield a single bogey-free round all week, Mickelson only dropped a shot at the 10th hole. The scoring average for Sunday was just under 73.5. Mickelson shot 66, matching the lowest score of the tournament. It was the lowest final round ever at Muirfield, and the lowest by an Open champion since Justin Leonard shot 65 at Royal Troon in 1997. The greatest final round in a major? Not quite. Just about anything will be tough to beat Jack Nicklaus with a 65 at the 1986 Masters when he won his sixth green jacket and 18th professional major at 46. Johnny Miller will tell you — he probably already has — that his 63 at Oakmont in 1973 was pretty good. He is the only major champion with a 63 on Sunday. For pure theater, there was Tom Watson’s 65 at Turnberry when he beat Nicklaus by one shot in the “Duel in the Sun.” What made this so compelling was Mickelson. A four-time major champion, he had only contended twice in the British Open. Muirfield has a short history of players winning the claret jug with help from other’s misfortunes. That’s often true in majors to some degree, but not this one. Mickelson seized it with four birdies on the last six holes, and a momentum-saving par on the 16th when he used his 60-degree wedge for a shot so many others would have putted — a thin lie, up a steep slope to a green with a false front to 8 feet to set up a tough putt. “I don’t want anybody to hand it to me,” Mickelson said. “I want to go out and get it. And today, I did.” Muirfield also provided another chance to handicap Woods and his pursuit of the record 18 majors by Nicklaus. Woods is back to winning more than everyone else, but all he can say about the majors is that he’s back to contending in them. He

has left a mark in five of the last six majors — either a share of the 36-hole lead or close enough on Sunday to pay attention to that red shirt — but he has yet to be a serious contender. He says he has been in “probably about half the majors on the back nine on Sunday with a chance” since his last major in 2008. That’s a stretch. Contention is best defined as having a chance in the final hour. That hasn’t been the case since his downfall. It would be foolish to dismiss his chances of at least catching Nicklaus, but this won’t be easy. At this stage, the bigger threat to him is not how good he is, but how much better everyone else is. Westwood doesn’t feel as though he played badly, and while he closed with a 75, that was not a disgrace. Mahan also had 75 in the last group. Woods was in the group ahead and shot 74. This wasn’t a meltdown like Scott’s last year at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, or Nick Watney and his 81 at Whistling Straits in the 2010 PGA Championship, or Dustin Johnson’s 82 at Pebble Beach in the U.S. Open. This was more like a slow bleed. The bandage started to come undone on the seventh tee. There was the sound of a camera clicking on Westwood’s 9-iron, perhaps from the gallery. Westwood only turned to glare after his ball came up short and headed into a pot bunker. It didn’t seem to be that big of a deal, but his reaction was the first sign of frayed nerves. He was tentative on some birdie chances on the back nine. Westwood made 12 birdies and an eagle going into the final round. He made one birdie on Sunday. Of the top five players on the leaderboard, he was the only one without a birdie on the back nine. This would have to fall under the category of “missed opportunity” more than “blown opportunity.” But at 40, those opportunities might not come along as often. For Mickelson, who captured the third leg of the career Grand Slam, the U.S. Open can’t get here soon enough.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — The NCAA is asking a Pennsylvania court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the family of the late coach Joe Paterno that seeks to overturn the sanctions against Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Some trustees, former players and coaches and current faculty members are also taking part in the same lawsuit. But college sports’ governing body said the civil suit must be dismissed in part because the university itself isn’t part of the suit. The sanctions handed down in July 2012 were agreed to by the NCAA and the university president. The NCAA also firmly denied a claim that it had conspired with former FBI director Louis Freeh’s team in formulating the sanctions. Freeh led the school’s internal investigation into the scandal. The news came on the same day that Penn State issued a statement on bowl revenue. The school’s nearly $2.3 million share of bowl revenue has been divided among the Big Ten’s 12 member schools, including Penn State, to distribute for causes focused on child protection or advocacy. The school said the individual share for each school amounted to more than $188,000. The Nittany Lions finished the 2012 season bowleligible at 8-4, but were banned from the postseason as part of NCAA sanctions for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. The $2.3 million represents Penn State’s share of conference bowl revenue had the school been allowed to play in the postseason. The four-year bowl ban expires after the 2015 season. The sanctions were announced a year ago Tuesday, on July 23, 2012. But the landmark penalties, and the NCAA’s handling of the Penn State case, remain the subject of scrutiny among some alumni, area residents and Pennsylvania politicians, as well as in the courts. In May, a lawsuit filed by the family of the late coach Joe Paterno, five school trustees and others sought to have the penalties overturned. In a statement separate from the school’s announcement on bowl revenue, three trustees who took seats earlier this month offered support for five board colleagues involved in the litigation. The suit says that the NCAA bypassed the organization’s own rules in levying penalties against the football program with uncharacteristic speed. “As newly elected trustees … we want to make clear that we fully support the legal claims filed against the NCAA by our trustee colleagues,” said a statement from trustees Ted Brown, Barbara Doran and William Oldsey. “We support a legal review of the sanctions imposed on Penn State, the basis for the sanctions and the process used to enact them.” The alumni-elected trustees elected this spring were endorsed by an alumni watchdog group that has been critical of the decisions of board leaders after the scandal began with Sandusky’s arrest in November 2011, including Paterno’s firing. The lawsuit also attacks former FBI director Louis Freeh’s handling of the internal investigation into the scandal for the school, along with how and why the NCAA used Freeh’s report as a basis for sanctions. “We firmly believe that truth and justice should never fear an open hearing and review — whether in the courts or before the Board of Trustees,” Brown, Doran and Oldsey said in their joint statement. Nine ex-players; four faculty members; and two former assistant coaches, including Paterno’s son Jay Paterno, are also plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The sanctions also include steep scholarship cuts and a $60 million fine, which is separate from the Big Ten bowl proceeds. Penn State said its portion of the carved-up bowl share would be funneled through the Centre County United Way with instructions to split the money between the Stewards of Children program and the Children’s Advocacy Center.

NASCAR back at dirt track for 1st time since ‘70 By the Associated Press

NASCAR is set for an off-road detour through the dirt. The Truck Series is headed for the Eldora Speedway half-mile dirt track for a one-night only special designed to reconnect NASCAR with its early roots and give fans raised on asphalt and stock cars a taste of the wild races run in the dust. The last time one of NASCAR’s top touring series competed on dirt was Sept. 30, 1970, when Richard Petty won a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (called the Grand National Division at that time) race at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. The dirt drought ends when the trucks race Wednesday night at Tony Stewartowned Eldora in Rossburg, Ohio. Stewart, still a regular on the weeknight racing circuit, has naturally become a big booster of NASCAR’s return to dirt. Most of the field drove their first Eldora laps at Tuesday’s practice. “It’s a neat facility,” Stewart said. “It’s well lit, it’s a wide racetrack, it gives you a lot of options of where you can go and what you can do. I think it gives those guys an opportunity. The practice day on Tuesday should help a lot of those teams be able to get acclimated before they come back to the track on

Wednesday.” Eldora’s grandstands are sold out for the 9:30 p.m. ET race, even as some of the series’ biggest winners, like Kyle Busch, are sitting out. Ryan Newman and Dave Blaney are the only Cup drivers in the field. The race will feature a handful of so-called ringers, such as Scott Bloomquist, a member of the National Dirt Track Hall of Fame with more than 500 victories in a lengthy career. The 49-year-old Bloomquist is set to make his NASCAR debut driving the No. 51 Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports. “It’s going to be something different I’m sure, but it’s a race car and I’ve driven a lot of race cars,” he said. “Never a truck, but it’s still a race car.” The race also gets a twist on qualifying. There are five, eight-lap qualifying events and a 15-lap last-chance race to come up with the 30 competitors (regularly 36 in the series) who will start the 150-lap Mudsummer Classic. Because there is no pit road, the race is broken into three segments of 60, 50 and 40 laps. Trucks driver James Buescher raved about Eldora after he tested there. “It was a lot more fun than I expected it to be,” he said. “It’s definitely going to be interesting when we get 30 trucks on the track at the same time in tight quarters like that. It’s going to be an

action-packed race. I just hope there’s not too many cautions.” It could happen. After all, the trucks weren’t built to race on dirt, so some adjustments were needed. The Goodyear dirt tire has been widened from 10 to 11 inches to provide a larger contact patch with the track and give the trucks more grip. While the Eldora right-side tire will basically remain the same height as a NASCAR tire run on asphalt tracks, the left-side is 3 inches shorter (85.8 inches) to build in more stagger, which will help the trucks turn better. The trucks will be fitted for mesh shields and hood deflectors to hold off debris kicked up from the muck. The drivers who know how to get dirty are the easy favorites. Kyle Larson, pegged as NASCAR’s next big star, is one of the few drivers with experience on the dirt oval. Larson is one of only two drivers to sweep the USAC Four Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway. Larson also won in the USAC Midgets in 2012. There’s a reason this track was selected for him to make his second Truck Series start of the season. “I have been looking forward to this race for a really long time,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of fun racing at Eldora and have had quite a bit of success, so I am excited to get back. I can’t wait to

see how the trucks run there.” Even with the lengthy gap between NASCAR dirt races, fans and drivers are buzzing over the race, a rarity in a series that often runs in front of mostly empty grandstands as a support race in a Sprint Cup weekend. But a big crowd, big ratings and a great race could go far in making an Eldora a regular stop on the Truck Series circuit — and maybe make stock car racing there a reality. “If it has incredible success, who knows how far this could go?” driver Kenny Wallace said. “You could put the Nationwide Series there. One thing I always remind people of — and I race dirt all over the United States — this is where Kasey Kahne, Tony Stewart, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman came from. Three quarters of the field in Sprint Cup came from dirt tracks just like Eldora. I think this is a really good deal.” The race comes six weeks after the death of NASCAR driver Jason Leffler on a dirt track in New Jersey. State police say a mechanical problem was to blame for the spinout that ended with Leffler’s car slamming into a concrete wall. The 37-year-old Long Beach, Calif., native was a two-time winner on the NASCAR Nationwide Series and a onetime winner in the Truck Series.

Browns head to camp hoping to shed losing image CLEVELAND (AP) — Rob Chudzinski has his dream job. There’s no telling how long he’ll keep it. Hired as Cleveland’s sixth coach — and fourth in six years — since 1999, Chudzinski returns to the team he cheered for as a kid and the one he helped to a 10-6 record in 2007 as the offensive coordinator. The orange helmets are being directed by Chud now, and while the Browns still have a long climb to contention, he inherits more talent than any of his predecessors. The Browns have lost at least 11 games in each of the past five seasons, a streak they should be able to stop. However, to do so, they’ll need stability at quarterback, a position of constant change since the Browns returned as an expansion franchise. Second-year quarterback Brandon Weeden showed promise last season but needs to make major strides under new offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who has a track record for developing QBs. Cleveland’s spending spree in free agency — mostly on defense — gave worn-out Browns fans reason to hope that 2013 would bring a turnaround and dawn a new era. But some of the optimism has been erased by new owner Jimmy Haslam’s legal troubles, which have cast a shadow over the season already. Five things to know as the Browns open training camp this week: 1. Richardson Rolling: Running back Trent Richardson may be the NFL’s toughest man. Playing most of his rookie year with two broken ribs he kept secret until the season ended, Richardson still rushed for 950 yards and scored 11 touchdowns. The Browns need Richardson, who reported to camp banged up last season, to shed the “injury-prone” label and be

100 percent healthy from the outset. He’s ready to roll after missing some of the spring workouts with a sprained shin muscle. He averaged just 3.6 yards per carry — 45th among the league’s runners. 2. Weeden Grows: Weeden passed for 3,385 yards in 2012, not bad for a rookie. But he was overshadowed by an elite class of first-year QBs, three of whom — Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson — led their teams to the playoffs. The Browns are adjusting their offense to better fit Weeden’s strengths, and Chudzinski said he has already seen marked improvement in the 29-year-old’s footwork, quickness and speed in getting rid of the ball. Weeden believes he has grown as a leader as well and feels “like a completely different player” than last year.

3. Haslam’s Headache: The owner’s ongoing legal entanglement has Browns fans on edge, and the NFL on watch. Haslam’s arrival gave Cleveland a muchneeded boost and he’s already sunk millions into overhauling the roster, the team’s suburban headquarters and a $100 million face lift of FirstEnergy Stadium is reportedly in the works. Haslam recently reached a settlement with customers his Pilot Flying J truckstop chain cheated out of rebate money. Unless he is indicted, the league will not consider sanctions against Haslam, who has professed his innocence from the start. 4. Kicking it: Phil Dawson’s departure leaves the Browns with some huge cleats to fill. The Pro Bowl kicker, who signed as a free agent with the 49ers, was an invaluable asset for 14 years, handling field-goal and kickoff duties while mastering the tricky winds off Lake Erie. The Browns signed veteran Shayne Graham, who made 31 of 38 field goals and scored 138 points for Houston last season, to compete for the job with rookie Brandon Bogotay. The winner will have a difficult time replacing the dependable Dawson, the second-leading scorer in franchise history. 5. Flash Gordon: Wide receiver Josh Gordon’s twogame suspension for violating the NFL’s drug policy makes it imperative the Browns find some other offensive playmakers. Gordon will miss the opener against Miami and the following week against Baltimore, depriving Weeden of his top target. But more importantly, the Browns have to hope Gordon, who was suspended for marijuana use in college, gets his head on straight and stays clean in the future. His teammates rave about his athletic gifts and view the 22-year-old as a future star — if he stays on the right path.

working on his long throws and needs to find receivers other than Green with more consistency. Tight end Tyler Eifert, taken in the first round, should give him another option. 2. Dalton’s Backup: One of Cincinnati’s biggest losses in free agency was backup quarterback Bruce Gradkowski, who gave the Bengals some security in case Dalton got hurt. They signed Josh Johnson, who started five games for Tampa Bay from 2008-11, and claimed John Skelton off waivers for Arizona, which couldn’t settle on a starter last season. Johnson knows offensive coordinator Jay Gruden from their days in Tampa Bay. Skelton has never run a West Coaststyle offense. Although Dalton has been very durable, missing only half of a game because of injury, a team with playoff aspirations needs some secu-

rity at the backup spot. 3. What’s up with Andre? The Bengals reached a threeyear deal with right tackle Andre Smith as the draft started in April, meaning their entire offensive line would return intact. But Smith missed all of the team’s offseason workouts and its mandatory minicamp because of personal matters, the only player who wasn’t available. His conditioning will be a focus in camp early. They’ll also be looking at how center Kyle Cook has recovered from an ankle injury that required surgery and forced him to miss the first 12 games last season. 4. Turning Harrison Loose: The Bengals’ biggest offseason acquisition was linebacker James Harrison, who left Pittsburgh after they couldn’t agree on a restructured contract. Coordinator

Mike Zimmer will be looking for ways to turn the outside linebacker loose in a defense than finished sixth in the NFL in yards allowed last season. Harrison says he’s healthy and ready to make an impression with his new team, especially when it faces his old team. 5. Paging Dre Kirkpatrick: Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick was the 17th overall pick in the 2012 draft, but missed all of training camp and the first seven games of the season after injuring his left knee during workouts. He played in five games, then suffered a concussion and was bothered again by the knee problem, ending his season. Kirkpatrick has been limited because of the knee in the offseason. His status will be another focus in camp.

Will 5 power conferences break away from FBS? NEW YORK (AP) — The five power conferences are trying to redefine what it takes to operate a Division I college athletic program, with their commissioners calling out the NCAA at media days around the country. Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby and fellow commissioners Mike Slive of the Southeastern Conference and John Swofford of the Atlantic Coast Conference have taken turns critiquing the NCAA over the last week, and it’s likely Jim Delany of the Big Ten and Larry Scott of the Pac-12 will follow suit in the coming days. The schools in the most powerful and wealthy leagues want more freedom to be able to run their programs the way they want, without the less powerful schools standing in the way. Does this mean the end of the NCAA as we know it is near? Or will there be a new division of college football — Division 4 as Bowlsby calls it? Not necessarily.

Former Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe says he thinks Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference can get the power to govern themselves without cutting off all ties to schools from the less powerful and wealthy FBS conferences. And NCAA expert John Infante, who writes the ByLaw Blog at athleticscholarship.com, says the best solution for the schools in those conferences is not leaving Division I, but reshaping it in a way where some smaller schools choose to leave. The lightning rod issue at the heart of this debate has been the proposed stipend to college athletes that would add about $2,000 to an athletic scholarship to cover the full cost of attendance. All the commissioners from the major conferences have pushed for it, but it could not be passed because smaller schools said they couldn’t afford it.

So, a possible solution for the powerful, wealthy schools is to set up a level of football at which all the participating schools gave players stipends — and let the smaller schools play each other. The programs that would be most affected by the big five isolating itself from the rest of college sports would be from the lesser leagues in college football’s top tier: the Mountain West, the American Athletic Conference (formerly the Big East), Conference USA, the Sun Belt and the Mid-American Conference — aka the group of five. Those schools still want to compete against the big five on the field, cash in on the monster pay days that usually

come with playing those games and capitalize on the attention that comes when they occasionally win one. The FBS conferences will share, though not equally, the $5.6 billion ESPN is set to pay over 12 years for broadcast rights to College Football Playoff. The big five conferences will take 75 percent of that money, but the 25 percent left over for the other five to split still represents a big raise from what they were making under the BCS. Presumably, the power conferences would make even more breaking away. But it might not be that easy. “What happens when these 70 schools break away and form Division 4? Might happen. I

MAC Commissioner John Steinbrecher said at media day in Detroit: “The question is, can we come to agreement on a set of rules that allows us to co-exist amicably? I tend to believe we can.” Beebe thinks so, too. He said the big five will ultimately be allowed to allocate their enormous resources toward providing more money for

Infante said if the big five gets its way, it could lead to a culling of Division I, which currently includes 349 schools, with some of the 125 FBS schools dropping down to FCS, major college football’s second tier.

MAC remains stable amid realignment drama DETROIT (AP) — The Mid-American Conference will have a hard time topping the last 12 months, when Northern Illinois made it to the Orange Bowl and Central Michigan’s Eric Fisher was the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft. Still, there’s at least one other way the league can set itself apart in the coming years. “People say ‘the Mid-American Conference’ — they know who’s in it,” Central Michigan coach Dan Enos said. “Some of these other leagues, you could go around and take a poll, they may not know who’s in what conference.” The MAC suddenly stands out as a picture of stability on a college football landscape muddled by realignment. No, it won’t be challenging the Southeastern Conference or Big Ten in terms of brand recognition any time soon, but fans of the mid-major conference know exactly what to expect each season — exciting football in a league with plenty of parity and rivalries going back decades. “We’ve kind of kept our head down and kept plowing ahead, and I’m fortunate and pleased that we have had such stability,” Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said at the conference’s media day Tuesday. “There’s something to be said for that.” The MAC was founded as a five-school league in 1946, and Ohio is the only charter member still in the league. But Western Michigan and Miami of Ohio joined in 1947, and Toledo, Kent State and Bowling Green entered during the early 1950s. Central Michigan (1971), Eastern Michigan (1971) and Ball State (1973) have all been with the conference at least four decades, and Northern Illinois was a member from 1975-86 before returning in 1997. The newest members include Akron (1992), Buffalo (1998) and Massachusetts, which joined as a footballonly entry in 2012. So that’s 13 teams, and almost half have been in the league at least six decades. There is occasional turnover, but not enough to change the basic complexion of the conference, which currently has six schools in Ohio and three in Michigan. “We look alike in so many ways,” Steinbrecher said. “We’ve been on a nice upward trend here the last few years across a number of different metrics, and the goal is to keep moving in that direction.”

Thankful Cousins Kings star glad to be back at Team U.S.A. camp

LAS VEGAS (AP) — DeMarcus Cousins has everything USA Basketball is looking for in a big man. He has the size and strength to be an imposing presence in the paint on a roster that is lacking in the frontcourt. He has the shooting touch and passing skills to make him a perfect fit in international play and in coach Mike Krzyzewski’s system. And he has the confidence not to back down against the best competition the United States has to offer. The best-case scenario for this young American team going forward would be to have Cousins emerge as a future building block and reliable contributor to a team that will compete for the World Cup in Spain next summer. And the best-case scenario for Cousins would be to get the kind of structure and guidance that Krzyzewski and managing director Jerry Colangelo can provide to a 22-year-old who has had precious little of either during a volatile first three seasons in the NBA. “I believe I mature after every season,” Cousins said after working out with 27 other young players at a USA Basketball minicamp on the UNLV campus. “I believe people forget I am just 22. At the same time I’ve got a big responsibility. It’s going to take me time, and I’m still learning. But I believe I do improve every year.” It can be easy to forget that Cousins won’t turn 23 until August. The Sacramento Kings drafted him fifth overall in 2010, and he’s been in the headlines so often in his first three seasons in the league that it seems like he’s been a pro for much longer. He’s averaged nearly a double-double — 16.3 points, 9.8 rebounds — in three seasons, but has also gained a hot-head reputation for several suspensions and fines during his time in Sacramento.

He was in Las Vegas last year as part of the U.S. select team that practiced against the Olympic team in the run-up to the London Games, but that ended on a sour note after a disagreement with Colangelo. That didn’t stop Colangelo from inviting him back this summer for a four-day camp featuring some of the rising young stars in the game. The only player with Olympic experience at the camp is New Orleans forward Anthony Davis. With no competition to prepare for this summer, Colangelo and Krzyzewski are using this week to identify and develop some of the country’s younger talent. As far as Colangelo was concerned, there was no question that Cousins’ name belonged on the list. “Last year it wasn’t a good situation at the end of the day,” Colangelo said. “This time around, it’s a clean slate for every one of the players. So we’re starting from scratch. … No harm, no foul.” The gesture seems to have resonated with Cousins, even if he didn’t agree with how his time here last year was portrayed. “I believe the whole thing was blown out of proportion,” Cousins said. “What was said between us really wasn’t as bad as it (seemed). For him to just push that aside and give me another chance, I’m very thankful for it. I’m going to come in here and make the best of opportunity.” Cousins said there was a time not long ago when he wouldn’t have accepted the invitation to come back to Vegas, with his pride getting in the way. The fact that he’s here, in his eyes, is proof of maturity. “I could’ve been stubborn and been like, ‘Forget that. You had your chance at me,’” Cousins said. “But I’m going to come in and make the best of my opportunity.” It’s a summer of fresh starts for Cousins, who will be playing for a new coach, a new general manager and a new ownership group that bought the Kings from the Maloof brothers to ensure the franchise stayed in Sacramento.
