Diggin’ in Students to explore for historic artifacts

BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com

PIQUA — For decades Johnston Farm & Indian Agency, 9845 North Hardin Road, has been taking visitors back in time, but next week the historic farm will be giving archaeology students a chance to dig, sift through and unearth historic artifacts.

Next week a class of archeology students and MIKE ULLERY/STAFF FILE PHOTO Students and staff from Hocking College sift for artifacts on the site of Pickaw- instructors from Hocking illany on the present site of the John Johnston Farm & Indian Agency during a College, along with mem2011 expedition to the historic site. bers of the Ohio Historical

Society, will descend on the farm and visit the Pickawillany village to perform the dig.

This is the fifth time students and instructors have visited and dug on the former site of Pickawillany, and in year’s past those archaeological digs have produced many historical artifacts, many of which are currently on display at the farm.

The dig is a part of an “ongoing research” that has taken place at Pickawillany in the last decade, said Site Manager Andy Hite.

Hite said the dig is a “win/win situation.”

“The students get life experience, hands-on experience excavating and working on a known historical site,” Hite said.

“Eventually the artifacts come back here, so we get them on exhibit.”

On Thursday at 12:30 p.m. Hite is offering visitors the opportunity to actually visit the historical dig site. Interested people can take a tour of the site and will be transported via the canal boat to the See Dig/Page 2

Local woman spins yarns for charity

BY ALYSSA RECK Staff Writer pdceditorial@civitasmedia.com PIQUA — The Salvation Army is looking for yarn donations to help make baby blankets and hats for the 2013 Christmas gift giveaway.

Yarn donations can be any size, length or color, but it is preferable that the colors are light and bright.

Two ladies, Harriet Hartley and Bev Puterbaugh spend time crocheting the yarn into baby blankets, during their free time.

They’ve known each other for 50 years.

“Last year, we made mostly hats, but then we were asked to make something more substantial,” said Hartley. “So we started making baby blankets.”

Hartley also makes cloth quilts and has made little pillows for Camp Courageous, which is a therapeutic camp for children and teens who have lost a loved one. The camp is hosted by Hospice of Miami County.

“I don’t like sitting around doing nothing, so I make baby blankets,” Puterbaugh said.

Bev Puterbaugh crochets next to a large stack of assorted blankets she made at her home in Fletcher on Thursday. She and her longtime friend, Harriet Hartley, crochet things all year to donate to the Salvation Army’s 2013 Christmas gift giveaway.

She usually crochets while watching Cincinnati Reds games.

Most of the blankets are 100 stitches across, which is roughly 30 inches. Then the blankets are double stitched for 40 rows.

Puterbaugh recalls one donation that involved a dusty box filled with 61 crochet squares of multiple colors.

“We ended up making five baby blankets out of those squares,” Puterbaugh said. “We

know how to make do with what we’ve got.”

So far an estimated 50 baby blankets have been made, but the goal is 100.

Puterbaugh spent some extra time naming the baby blankets

she has made, because each blanket comes with its own story.

Some of the names include, Princess and the Pea, Little Boy Blue, and Freedom.

“The blankets are given to patrons of the Salvation Army,” Puterbaugh said.

Donations are accepted at The Salvation Army at 129 S. Wayne St., Piqua.

The Salvation Army can be reached at 773-7563, if you are unable to drop off your donation.

Bombing suspect’s public hearing frustrates some

BY JAY LINDSAY Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Survivors of the Boston Marathon bombings got little satisfaction from surviving suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s first public appearance since the deadly attacks. “Not guilty,” was all he said, over and over.

The blase-looking 19-year-old, his arm in a cast and his face swollen, entered his pleas Wednesday during a sevenminute arraignment in federal court.

Bombing victims showed little reaction in the courtroom after a federal marshal warned them against any outbursts, but some made their views known afterward as did a group of

chanting Tsarnaev supporters.

“I thought that maybe he would come with a different attitude or maybe look a little different, maybe look like he cared a little bit. But he didn’t show me that,” said Peter Brown, whose two nephews each lost their right legs in the explosions.

Tsarnaev gave a small, lopsided smile to his two sisters upon arriving in the courtroom. He appeared to have a jaw injury and there was swelling around his left eye and cheek.

Leaning into the microphone, he told a federal judge, “Not guilty,” in his Russian accent. Then he was led away in handcuffs, making a kissing gesture toward his sisters with his lips. One

sobbed loudly, resting her head on a woman seated next to her.

Tsarnaev, who has been hospitalized since his capture with wounds suffered in a shootout and getaway attempt, faces 30 federal charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, in connection with the April 15 twin explosions that left three people dead and more than 260 wounded. Tsarnaev also is charged in the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer and the carjacking of a motorist during a getaway attempt. He could get the death penalty if prosecutors choose to pursue it.

The proceedings took place in a heavily guarded courtroom packed not only

with victims and their families but with police officers, the public and the media.

The Russian immigrant and former college student looked much as he did in a photo widely circulated after his arrest, his hair curly and unkempt. Wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, he appeared nonchalant, almost bored, during the hearing. The cast covered his left forearm, hand and fingers.

MIT Police Chief John DiFava, who was in the courtroom, said Tsarnaev looked “smug.”

“I didn’t see a lot of remorse. I didn’t see a lot of regret,” he said. “It just seemed to me that if I was in that See Bombing/Page 2

Dig

CITY/STATE Death notices

Continued from page 1 Pickawillany site. The boat will depart the canal dock at 12:30 p.m. Visitors will then spend an hour exploring the site and speaking with archaeologists.

Afterward, visitors can view the newly opened exhibit that contains artifacts that were the fruits of previous digs.

The cost is $8 for adults, $4 for students and free to Johnston Farm Friends Council and Ohio Historical Society members. Senior and AAA discounts will be honored.

“Archaeology can be tremendously exciting when you realize you are uncovering something that has not been seen for over 260 years,” Hite said.

Bill Pickard, one of the lead archaeologists who will be at the site, said the students will be doing “archaeology in reverse.”

“We know who was here, and what was happening in the village,” he

said. “We are hoping this project will help us learn more about what the village looked like.”

Presently, a fund-raising effort is underway at the historical farm, which is visited by more than 5,000 students each year, to expand the museum facility to include a 1,300square-foot education center. The center would include a classroom, meeting room, program room and community gathering space with catering facilities.

The Johnston Farm Friends Council has launched a campaign to raise the remaining funds, partnering with the Piqua Community Foundation to be the fiscal agent for the campaign. To become a supporter of the project, contact the Piqua Community Foundation at (937) 615-9080 or Hite at (937) 773-2522.

Bombing Continued from page 1 position, I would have been a lot more nervous, certainly scared.”

DiFava added: “I just wanted to see him. I wanted to see the person that so coldly and callously killed four people, one of whom being an officer of mine.”

Authorities say Tsarnaev orchestrated the bombing along with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died following a gunbattle with police several days after the attack. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested on April 19, hiding in a bloodstained boat in a suburban backyard after a manhunt that paralyzed much of the Boston area.

Tsarnaev’s lawyer, Judy Clarke, an expert in death penalty cases, asked that the judge enter not-guilty

pleas for him, but U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler said: “I would ask him to answer.”

On the same day as the arraignment, Boston’s police commissioner appeared on Capitol Hill and complained to a Senate panel that the Justice Department failed to share information on terrorism threats with local officials before the bombing.

“There is a gap with information sharing at a higher level while there are still opportunities to intervene in the planning of these terrorist events,” Commissioner Edward F. Davis III said.

Reporters and spectators began lining up for seats in the Boston courtroom at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday as a dozen Federal Protective Service officers and bomb-sniffing dogs

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday the “vast majority” of House Republicans believe they need to deal with immigration, but that they’ll take a methodical, step-by-step approach and won’t be held to any deadlines.

Legislation to secure the border and enforce immigration laws will come first, Boehner said. As for whether the House could ever agree to provide legal status or a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants already in the country illegally, “Well, we’re going to find out,” Boehner said.

“Through all the conversations that have occurred, with my own members, with Democrat members, it’s clear that dealing with this in bitesized chunks that members can digest and the American people can di-

gest is the smartest way to go,” said Boehner, R-Ohio.

“And so I’m much more concerned about doing it right than I am in meeting some deadline.”

The Ohio Republican spoke at a news conference Thursday, a day after House GOP members met to hash out their way forward on immigration.

They emerged with a consensus on dealing with border security first and moving legislation in pieces, in contrast to the sweeping bill passed last month by the Senate on a bipartisan 68 to 32 vote.

What to do about the millions already here illegally remained unanswered.

With Democrats insisting on a path to citizenship, that left it unclear whether Congress will be able to get any kind of immigration bill to President Barack Obama’s desk. The issue is one of the president’s top second-term priorities.

Lehman announces Hall of Famers Piqua resident one of four alumni to be inducted SIDNEY — The Lehman Catholic High School Alumni Association has announced the school’s seventh annual Lehman Hall of Fame Induction. This year’s inductees include four distinguished individuals – Leesa A. Baker, Betty Hemmert, Clifford Hoying, and Robert J. (Pete) Meyer — who will be honored at the Lehman Catholic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies on Saturday, Aug. 3.

Since beginning this tradition, the Hall of Fame Committee has sought to honor not only alumni but outstanding faculty and supporters of Lehman Catholic. The Hall of Fame ceremonies will begin with Mass at 5:15 p.m. in the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Chapel on campus.

Cocktails will be served at 6 p.m. with dinner to follow at 6:30 p.m. in the Harriett J. Frantz Gymnasium.

Inductee Betty Hemmert is a Piqua resident who served a volunteer vocal coach and accompanist for the Lehman Music Department from 19811998. She also taught private voice lessons to countless students from both Lehman Catholic and Piqua High Schools.

A native of Washington Court House, Hemmert graduated from The Ohio State University in 1944 with a Bachelor of Science in Music Education. She began teaching piano in 1936 and voice in 1945 and taught for 69 years, retiring in 2003. She came to Piqua in the fall of 1945 to organize the vocal music department at Piqua Central High School. Two years later, Betty Peterson married Fred J. Hemmert II at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Piqua. They had five children of which four survive: Terri Hemmert of Chicago, Rick Hemmert of Cincinnati, Bill Hemmert of Piqua, and Julie Hemmert of Cincinnati.

Hemmert created the

HEMMERT Piqua Community Chorus and played the organ and directed choirs at several Piqua area churches including Westminster Presbyterian Church, St. Mary Catholic Church, and Greene Street Methodist Church. She was the organist for hundreds of weddings and funerals at almost every church in Piqua.

Hemmert’s association with Lehman began in 1981, when Gail Brandewie, Lehman vocal music director at the time, asked her to help with the spring musical, thinking it might be good therapy for Betty who was dealing with the death of her youngest daughter. Joni Hemmert died as the result of an automobile accident.

The experience was therapy indeed and Hemmert continued working with Lehman musicals for the next 18 years. During that time, her private lesson roster overflowed with Lehman students for whom “Betty lessons” were the inspiration for their development, both musically an in the realm of poise and maturity.

Many of her private students went on to excel in college music studies and even star on the Broadway stage.

Even when health concerns forced her to move to a retirement community in Cincinnati to be closer to family in 2001, a few Lehman students made the trip south for periodic vocal coaching.

After her death in 2012, her family donated her most treasured possession, her Baldwin baby grand piano, to the Lehman Catholic Music Department.

Hemmert’s daughter, Julie Hemmert, wrote: “Betty’s proudest moments were not when she was in the limelight, but watching her students grow and perform… and ultimately helping them to ‘find their voice.’ Due to Betty Hemmert’s years of service and volunteer work, as well as her dedication and inspiration to her students, I believe that she should be considered for induction in the Lehman Catholic High School Hall of Fame.”

In a letter written to Hemmert in 2004, Steve Hinger, Lehman class of 1980 who is now a theater professional in Chicago, said: “When looking back upon one’s past, key people and events stand out for they are the things that have shaped and influenced our lives. They touch us in a way that has such power, that we can never forget them. When I look back on my life, Betty, you are and will always be one of those people. You started me on a path that I continue to travel. You instilled in me a love, an appreciation, and a joy for music that will always be a part of my life, and I am very blessed and honored to have been your student.

Whether it be in the choir loft of St. Mary’s Church, the stage of Lehman High School, or the front room of your home, you have touched so many, and have made us all better musicians and better human beings.”

In his nominating letter, Tom Froning, Lehman class of 1989, wrote: “It is difficult for me to write about the attributes of Mrs. Hemmert without writing about myself because her guidance affected me personally on so many different levels. Yet, I know my story is not

unique, as there are thousands of students from several different schools whom Betty taught. She had a profound effect on the professional lives of the Bogart brothers and Stephanie Wilberding, among many other Lehman grads who still call music and theater their job. And then there are those of us who take her lessons with us each day, though we haven’t been on stage for a long, long time.”

In her nominating letter, Mary Ellen Wiford Carr, Lehman class of 1992, said, “Merriam-Webster defines Hall of Fame as ‘a group of individuals in a particular category… who have been selected as particularly illustrious.’

Betty Hemmert is the epitome of illustrious, but illustrious is only one word that could be used when describing her.

Other adjectives would be generous, dedicated, extraordinary, unprecedented, and phenomenal.

“No person would ever be able to teach you about music as masterfully as Mrs. Hemmert, but perhaps the most important endeavor accomplished was that of life lessons. It takes a one-of-a-kind individual to be a complete package, and Mrs. Hemmert was that. She was first and foremost your teacher, but also a confidante, many times a sounding board, and even more, your biggest supporter. (She) taught me dignity and decorum, staying true to myself, and gave exquisite instruction on losing gracefully and acquiring the skills vital for behaving as a proper and honorable human being who ‘seeks first the Kingdom of God.’” (Matthew 6.33) Tickets for the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony are available by contacting the Lehman Catholic Development Office. The deadline for ordering tickets is July 29.

“You shall not commit adultery.”

(Exodus 20:14 AKJV)

Mother of the Munchkins

It’s just a matter of time ell, it finally happened. The first born child has reached the height of misinterpretation as we went to the movies on Monday night where the clerk promptly BETHANY J. ROYER charged our family of four for Columnist three adults and one child.

As if the price at theaters are not scary enough!

“But I’m only eleven?” Brie said as the clerk read back the total to two parents clutching their hearts over the vexation of having a pre-adolescent globe trotter.

This is the second time this has transpired so far this summer as we ran into the same issue less than a month ago when visiting the Cincinnati Museum. The young lady behind the ticket counter declared Brie as being 13, much to her delight and my absolute horror.

“She’s eleven,” Michael corrected, looking near to fainting, meanwhile another gray hair not so much as sprouted out the top of my head but declared its presence with a mighty roar.

I am sure every parent goes through this, but it still makes for a strange, new sort of world to behold when your eldest child can now look you straight in the eye.

The size of her feet having long since surpassed your own is a terrifying reality though our ending up with the other’s clothing in our closets rather humorous.

“That’s your black t-shirt.”

“No, it has Snoopy on it, it is yours, mom.”

I knew this day would come, I’ve written about it before of my attempt to gloss over the fact her father’s side of the family is composed of amazons while mine is hobbit. Not to under-estimate those wee of stature it is simply a peculiar force to reckon with as Brianne will only be in sixth grade come fall. Her height not the only sign of her growing up as her new bedroom (One she can call her own instead of sharing with her little sister) has a startingly evel of cleanliness and orderliness to it. She’s also gained this sudden air of sophistication beyond her years that I don’t recall ever emulating at her age.

Course, I’d give anything for her to forgo the greasy Justin Beiber sweep of her hair, and the dark gothy clothing she prefers, but that is a right of passage we all go through with our mothers.

Still, there was a day last week when I glanced out the back door to spy one Ms. Wee Emma with a box on her head as she twirled about the yard. My heart in my throat as I became overwhelmed with nostalgia of those care-free days with Brie.

Where is the poopy-drooly baby? The child always on the run, so fast on her heels that I lost her in a bookstore while simply turning a corner. She was fast! By the time I caught up with her, down the hall of the strip mall we were shopping, her long blond hair was flying out behind her as she zipped between shelves laden with crystal and glass paperweights. She was three and already suffering from age-mistaken identity.

Now-a-days Brie isn’t running from me, not yet anyway, she has been joining me on my daily walks where the two of us talk in-depth —mile after mile— about current familial happenings, vexing relationships with friends, and every once in a while mention of her boyfriend left behind in our recent move, their dating.

“Let’s not use the word dating,” I said during this particular conversation while reminding her of the law of the land where one must be at least thirty years of age, a college graduate and gainfully employed before dating, marriage and babies are allowed into the picture “Remember the law! He’s just a friend who happens to be a boy.”

Brie laughed, “Oh, mom.”

That statement alone —Oh, mom— made me feel a bajillion years old as I looked over, straight into the eyes of my firstborn, who will soon require my looking up, it’s just a matter of time.

I’m not ready, can you tell?

Letter to the Editor: Enjoying the flowers this season? Here’s a little history about the Ann Mira Das Park and the Four Seasons Garden Club.

In 1988 the Four Seasons Garden Club received a letter requesting a donation for a new park on the corner of Park and Broadway, Ann Mira Das Park.

In May members planted flowers around the flagpole. A connection in a “well” for a hose was installed in October with the heavy hose stored across the street in the garage of a member, the late Virginia Kleinhenz.

In 1992 it was noted that the hose connection down in the well was a danger with members climbing up and down to attach the hose they had dragged over from across the street. Also the city had to use a backhoe in the process of correcting an electric problem at the flagpole so members had to replant the flower bed.

A couple years later, 1994, the club bought and members installed a black heavy edging around the beds.

The watering of the plants became easier due to the change implemented by the city which brought the faucet up. You just had to lift the “manhole” type cover to reach the faucet.

While there was no longer climbing down into the well, there was still the dragging of the hose until members purchased a hose cart and stored it across the street in the carport of member Sandy Wolf. The spraying of the hose and dragging it from bed to bed was still labor and time intensive.

Finally after years of fundraising, the club installed an irrigation system in the spring of 2011 with the assistance of Kurt Huemmer of Huemmer Irrigation and the City of Piqua who provided the ditching. This year the City has agreed to install a timer with the club paying the cost of the timer. Members are eager for this — trying to water without children running through the “sprinklers” and aiming the sprinkler heads at each other is a real trick!

In the summer of 2011 the park lost two of its ornamental trees. The city replaced one. The club purchased and planted a Dwarf Korean Lilac Topiary with the help of Doug Knouff and Jack Obringer of Piqua Garden Place. The violent windstorm in the summer of 2012 twisted and split the trunk of the topiary but it’s recovering nicely due to the assistance of Piqua Garden Place and Anderson Tree Service.

This park is a memorial to Ann Mira Das Park and the club is honored to contribute.

Plant takes Zeppelin songs to new places

PLANT

BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Robert Plant knows his fans want Led Zeppelin and he’s happy to comply. On his own terms.

Plant is on the road this summer with a new band, The Sensational Space Shifters, and he’s offering up fan favorites — rejiggered a bit to keep him excited about the music he’s been performing for more than four decades. “You just hit it, give it a good bang,�

Plant said. “It’s sort of like taking a can of wasps and giving it a good bang with a stick, and then opening the lid. It’s just like, ‘Ooooh!’ That makes me sing better and it makes me go back to not feeling that I’m a cliche, that I’m not actually just going through the motions. ... This is obviously a gig but nonetheless you can still make it into a great pleasure

dome for yourself, which is what I do.�

Plant is on tour with The Space Shifters through July. He’s hitting Red Rocks in Colorado and the Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Ky., this week with stops in Atlanta, North Carolina and Boston before wrapping in Prospect Park in Brooklyn July 27 after successful runs in South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

He and former Zeppelin bandmates Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, who ended the band when John Bonham died in 1980, incited public hope for a reunion when they appeared in London and New York together last year to promote “Celebration Day,� the film and music release of the band’s 2007 concert at London’s O2 Arena. The band testily deflected questions about a reunion. “We rode on the crest of every wave for a period of time, us bunch of guys,�

Plant said in a phone interview from San Francisco. “And sadly that couldn’t last because one of the guys vanished. And so what happens now is I’m a man of the world like so many people, like in his own way Ry Cooder and Peter Gabriel. ... You pick up so much stuff along the way, you know, and you put it all together, you switch the power on and people smile and then they dance and then they sweat and then they scream, and it’s either that or sit on a stool and sing George Jones songs.�

The tour effectively marks the end of a seven-year Americana period for Plant that started with “Raising Sand,� his 2007 Grammy Award-winning collaboration with Alison Krauss and T Bone Burnett, and continued through his most recent work

with girlfriend Patty Griffin, Buddy Miller and Band of Joy. The Space Shifters turn it into something of an abrupt ending. “I went back to the U.K. and I said to my pals, ‘Let’s go urban, let’s go British, let’s go African. Let’s turn the volume up and let’s just stick the fire underneath it again,’� Plant said.

As the name suggests, the band brings a spacey, psychedelic and sometimes improvisational quality to Plant’s back catalog. The group consists of four players Plant used before his Americana period — guitarists Justin Adams and Liam Tyson, bassist Billy Fuller and John Baggott on the keys — and recent additions, drummer Dave Smith and Julmeh Camara, a specialist in traditional African instruments from Gambia.

Once the run ends, Plant may return to the studio for a follow up to “Band of Joy.� He says he’s already completed an album’s worth of material with Miller and will soon take 20 songs with him to Los Angeles where he’ll begin work with a producer he coyly would not name. “I’m going to make an amalgam of all these various elements I’ve been creating, then I’m going to get a guy who has a bag of fairy dust and sort of chuck it over the whole thing so that it melds together,� Plant said. “I need a personality that runs right through the whole lot and I think I know exactly who is going to do it, and how and when. And then I’ll go back and be an archaeologist on the Welsh border for a little bit.�

Singer Randy Travis recovering from brain surgery

BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country music stars and fans joined together to urge prayers for Randy Travis overnight as he recovered from brain surgery following a stroke at a Texas hospital.

Travis remained in critical condition after surgery Wednesday night to relieve pressure on his brain, publicist Kirt Webster said. The 54-year-old Grammy Awardwinning singer had been improving while being treated for heart failure caused by a viral infection when he had the stroke.

Steady concern for Travis, a popular and pivotal figure in country music, turned to active support as stars like Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum and Martina McBride and the Grand Ole Opry used Twitter to join Webster’s call for prayers.

Hundreds of users reached out using the hashtag PrayforRandy. “We’re all pulling for you Randy,� Brad Paisley said via Twitter.

The setback occurred hours after doctors said Travis was showing signs of improvement since the start of treatment Sunday for congestive heart failure.

It was not clear what kind of stroke Travis suffered. The most common type of stroke

TRAVIS is caused by a blood clot that travels to the brain. The other kind happens when a blood vessel in the head bursts or leaks. Stroke patients who get treatment quickly are usually given a drug to dissolve the clot that caused the stroke.

Drs. William Gray and Michael Mack of the Baylor Health Care System in Texas described Travis’ condition and hospitalization in a video statement earlier Wednesday. “His condition has stabilized, and he has shown signs of improvement,� Mack said in the video. “On behalf of Mr. Travis’ family, friends and associates, we would like to express our extreme gratitude for the overwhelming affection and sup-

port that Mr. Travis has received.�

The “Three Wooden Crosses� singer was in good health until three weeks before he was hospitalized, when he contracted a viral upper respiratory infection, Gray said.

The viral illness led to a weakened heart muscle that eventually worsened into heart failure.

Travis was admitted to Baylor Medical Center McKinney near his home in Tioga, about 60 miles north of Dallas, through the emergency room Sunday. The singer underwent a procedure to have a pump inserted by catheter that helps increase blood flow before being transferred to The Heart Hospital Baylor

Plano.

Travis’ illness comes as he’s been trying to put his life back together following a series of embarrassing public incidents involving alcohol. Travis pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated in January following an arrest last year and received two years of probation and a $2,000 fine. He was required to spend at least 30 days at an alcohol treatment facility and complete 100 hours of community service.

He recently made several public appearances, including a spot on the Country Music Association Festival’s nightly concert lineup and a poignant performance at George Jones’ funeral.

Webster said from the hospital Travis’ fiancee Mary Beougher was at his side and that he is surrounded by family and friends, including his brother, Dennis Traywick, and his pastor, Jeff Perry. Kenny Rogers, the Oak Ridge Boys, Chuck Norris and several others have called to check in on Travis.

The North Carolina-born Travis is a traditional country purist known for hits “Forever and Ever, Amen� and “I Told You So.� His 1986 Warner Bros. debut album “Storms of Life� sold 4 million copies, and helped return country music to the sound of Hank Williams and George Jones.

THURSDAY’S SOLUTION

■Contract Bridge — By Steve Becker

Test your play spade as you ruff in your hand. All you lose is a heart trick.

Now let’s say South follows low when you lead dummy’s third heart. This time you finesse the ten. If it wins, you have 12 tricks; if it loses, you also have 12 tricks, because North must return a club, which you ruff in your hand after discarding a spade from dummy. You then cash the heart king, discarding dummy’s last spade to make the slam.

2. The only danger is that South has the king of diamonds and North the ace of clubs. In that case, if you ruffed the heart, cashed a trump and took a diamond finesse, you could go down one with a club return from South.

To guard against this, the best play is to discard a diamond on the ace of hearts! This ensures the contract against any lie of the opposing cards.

Let’s say North shifts to a trump at trick two. You win and play the A-Q of diamonds. If South produces the king, you ruff and have 11 tricks. If South follows low, you discard a club, assuring 10 tricks even if North wins the trick with the king.

The diamond discard at trick one creates a position where you are able to take a diamond finesse that can lose only to North, the nondangerous opponent.

STUDY:

Study: Youth attitudes shift in Great Recession

BY MARTHA IRVINE AP National Writer CHICAGO (AP) — Drew Miller clearly remembers the day his father was laid off.

Miller, now 25, was a freshman at an Ohio college, full of hope and ready to take on the world. But here was this “red flag ... a big wake-up call,” he says. The prosperous years of childhood were over, and his future was likely to be bumpier than he’d expected.

Across the country, others of Miller’s generation heard that same wake-up call as the Great Recession set in.

But would it change them?

And would the impact last?

The full effect won’t be known for a while, of course.

But a new analysis of a longterm survey of high school students provides an early glimpse at ways their attitudes shifted in the first years of this most recent economic downturn.

Among the findings: Young people showed signs of being more interested in conserving resources and a bit more concerned about their fellow human beings.

Compared with youths who were surveyed a few years before the recession hit, more of the Great Recession group also was less interested in big-ticket items such as vacation homes and new cars — though they still placed more importance on them than young people who were surveyed in the latter half of the 1970s, an era with its own economic challenges.

Either way, it appears this latest recession “has caused a lot of young people to stop in their tracks and think about what’s important in life,” says Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who co-authored the study with researchers from UCLA. The analysis, released Thursday, is published in the online edition of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.

Its data comes from “Monitoring the Future,” an annual survey of young people that began in the mid-1970s.

The authors of the study compared responses of high school seniors from three time periods — 1976-1978 and 2004-2006, as well as 2008-2010, the first years of the Great Recession.

They found that at the beginning of this latest recession, more of the 12th-graders were willing to use a bicycle or mass transit instead of driving — 36 percent in 2008-2010, compared with 28 percent in the mid2000s. However, that was still markedly lower than the 49 percent of respondents in the 1970s group who said the same.

There were similar patterns for other responses, such as those who said they: —Make an effort to turn heat down to save energy: 78 percent (1976-1978); 55 percent (2004-2006); and 63 percent (2008-2010).

—Want a job directly helpful to others: 50 percent (1976-1978); 44 percent (2004-2006); and 47 percent (2008-2010).

—Would eat differently to help the starving: 70 percent (1976-1978); 58 percent (2004-2006); and 61 percent (2008-2010).

Psychologist Patricia Greenfield said the findings fit with other research she’s done that shows that people become more communityminded, and less materialistic, when faced with economic hardship.

“To me, it’s a silver lining,” says Greenfield, another of the study’s contributors, along with lead author Heejung Park, an advanced doctoral student in psychology at UCLA. Their analysis found that, of the three groups, the Great Recession group was still most likely to want jobs where they could make a “significant” amount of money. But the authors say that may simply be attributable to the ever-rising cost of day-to-day expenses, from groceries to electric and gas bills.

In comparison, they note that the Great Recession group also showed a bit less interest in luxury items than the students who were surveyed in the mid-2000s.

For instance, 41 percent of high school seniors questioned 2008-2010 said it was important to own a vacation home, compared with 46 percent in 2004-2006. Again, both percentages are higher than the 34 percent who said the same in 1976-1978.

These findings have a margin of error of plus-orminus 1 percentage point, or

less.

Tina Wells, CEO of Buzz Marketing Group, which tracks youth trends, says the analysis fits with what she’s seen in her own work.

Many young people, she says, are living in what she calls “millennial purgatory,” unemployed or under-employed, working in jobs below their qualifications, and sometimes still living at home with their parents.

During the Great Recession the unemployment rate for 15- to 24-year-olds has risen above 20 percent — more than double the overall rate.

“If you’re 22 and trying to jump-start your life right now, it’s not so easy,” Wells says.

As a result, various 20somethings have tempered their career expectations in different ways.

Until the economy improves, “I’ve been opting for security over the perfect job,” says Calvin Wagner, a 24year-old accountant in suburban Cincinnati. As he bides his time, working for a small company with little chance for advancement, he’s studying for the exam to become a certified public accountant.

Like many of the survey respondents, Ashley Rousseau, a 25-year-old in Miami, says she’s now more focused on a job that helps her community in some way than in landing “a corner office.”

“The recession made it even more clear that I’m not going to find job satisfaction from a high-paying career,” says Rousseau, who’s getting her MBA and works at the medical school at Florida International University, which she says “improves the medical care in the community.”

“I’m proud to be part of that mission,” she says.

Miller, the 25-year-old whose dad was laid off, left Ohio when he couldn’t find work there in his field, electrical engineering. He moved to Alexandria, Va., after finding a government contracting job. But he recently decided to take a chance on a new company that’s using “smart technology” to help big corporations cut electrical usage for lighting their spaces.

Though it meant taking a small pay cut, he says having a job that helps the environ-

ment was a “huge” motivator.

It remains to be seen, however, how members of this generation will cope with this economic adversity.

Brent Donnellan, an associate professor of psychology at Michigan State University, has found that how parents handle the stress of an economic situation affects a child’s resilience. But so does the child’s personality. Perhaps not surprisingly, Donnellan says, studies have found that young people who have more self-control and who do well in school tend to weather economic hardship better.

Still others wonder if the shifts in attitudes noted in the study will last.

Lane Kenworthy, who’s looked at the impact of various recessions, isn’t so sure.

“In almost every case, public opinion has roughly gone back right back to what it was before,” says Kenworthy, a professor of sociology and political science at the University of Arizona, who cowrote a chapter on this topic for a book titled “The Great Recession.”

The biggest exception, he says, is the Great Depression of the 1930s, when unemployment rose as high as 25 percent.

That major economic downturn saw a big shift toward the Democratic party, he says, and an embracing of government programs such as Social Security.

The downturn of the 1970s — which caused public opinion to sway Republican — was the only other noteworthy exception he found, he says.

Kenworthy says this recession might impact young people more because they tend to be more impressionable than their elders. But he says a lot will hinge on how long the economic downturn lasts — and how deeply they feel the pain.

Miller, in Virginia, says he still sees a lot of his peers living beyond their means and that worries him.

“I hope that mentality will change to say, ‘Hey, we have to plan ahead’ because this could happen again,” he says.

But Monica Raofpur, a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas, doubts the Great Recession will forever change her generation.

■ Living with Children

The role of nanny mom asked me a most interesting and currently pertinent question the other day: “How much one-onone interaction should take place been a nanny and a child under her supervision?” The question is pertinent because increasing numbers of upper-middle-class parents are choosing to use nannies for daily child care instead of or in addition to day care centers and preschools. I will say, up front, that I have no general opinion of this trend at all. Each nanny situation should be judged on its own merits or lack thereof.

I have some personal experience with this issue because during my preschool years, when my mom was a single parent and we lived in Charleston, SC, she hired a woman to come in to our flat and supervise me when she was working and attending college.

Gertie Mae, with whom I grew quite attached, also performed housekeeping responsibilities outside of my supervision, but her role was similar, in many respects, to that of today’s nanny. Outside of the fact that she occasionally insisted I eat food I did not like, my experience of the relationship was completely positive. She was an important figure in my life and I remember her fondly.

I am aware that many of today’s nannies are expected to or feel they cannot adequately justify their salaries unless they play with their charges and otherwise provide a good amount of stimulating and enjoyable activities for them. In a word, they entertain. I have no memories of Gertie Mae ever playing with me or providing me with entertainment. Both she and my mother expected me to entertain myself, which is one of the most important life skills a child ever acquires, and the earlier acquired, the better for all concerned. The child who learns to entertain himself is also, later on, more likely to do his own homework without much if any supervision, perform regular household responsibilities without prompting, solve peer problems without coming

A

JOHN ROSEMOND Columnist to adults, and so on.

None of the nanny websites that I looked at used the word “entertainment” when describing nanny responsibilities. The webs i t e www.nannies4hire.com, for example, listed preparing children’s meals, providing mental stimulation, doing children’s laundry, and reinforcing appropriate discipline as primary nanny responsibilities. Facilitating playgroups was mentioned as an “additional” responsibility, but facilitating and entertaining are horses of different colors.

As most of my readers know, I advocate a low-involvement parenting style where children enjoy freedoms commensurate with the responsibility they are willing to assume for themselves and their behavior. To use a political analogy, it’s a libertarian parenting philosophy that allows children to learn, largely by trial and error, how to run their lives with minimal need for Big Parental Government.

Speaking personally, it was not so much my mother’s job to be involved with me as it was my job to keep her from getting involved. This creates a mutual state of liberation for both parents (especially mom) and child.

This is the way children were raised two generations and more ago, when they emancipated much earlier and more successfully than has been the case since. That’s why my answer to the question posed in paragraph one above is “As little as possible,” and why it applies to both parents and nannies.

Ohio State president slow to apologize

Timeline of apologies by ex-Ohio St. President Gee THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A timeline of events leading to apologies that former Ohio State President Gordon Gee made about off-the-cuff remarks last December: Dec. 5 — In audiotaped comments to the university Athletic Council, Gee criticizes Notre Dame’s negotiating tactics, jokingly refers to “those damn Catholics,” lampoons the academic integrity of the University of Louisville and Southeastern Conference while singling out the University of Kentucky, alleges that University of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez considered former Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema a “thug,” makes mildly disparaging remarks about Alvarez and Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany and laughingly suggests that Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith would have to be shot before he’d allow the University of Cincinnati to join the Big Ten. Jan. 31 — University trustees learn of the comments.

March 11 — University trustees deliver a letter to Gee ordering him to “promptly” undertake a series of initiatives to make up for the remarks, including personal apologies.

March 18 — Gee sends an email to the Rev. John Jenkins, Notre Dame’s president, asking if they could meet “in the near future” when Gee will be in South Bend, Ind., home of Notre Dame.

March 29

Despite a letter from university trustees ordering him to begin the process of apologizing promptly after not one or two jabbing remarks but a number to Roman Catholics, Notre Dame and Southeastern Conference schools, former Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee took his time.

BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Former Ohio State University President Gordon Gee took his time apologizing for remarks he made that were critical of the University of Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and Southeastern Conference schools, among several of his targets during off-the-cuff comments last year, records show.

Although university trustees directed Gee in a March 11 letter to begin issuing personal apologies “promptly,” he didn’t make the first of those apologies until May 20 during a previously scheduled meeting with the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus, according to a copy of Gee’s calendar obtained by The Associated Press through a records request.

Gee followed that meeting with a series of apologetic phone calls to presidents and other officials at several universities he jabbed in Dec. 5 remarks to the university’s Athletic Council.

Those apologies included a May 21 trip to Notre Dame to meet in person with the university’s president, the Rev. John Jenkins, according to the calendar and officials at Ohio State and other universities.

The university declined to directly address the delay and instead referred to the events detailed by the calendar.

“Dr. Gee made his apologies as outlined,” said university spokeswoman Gayle Saunders.

The apologies began after the university reviewed the AP’s May 13 request for the audiotape and just days before the AP first reported on the remarks on May 30. Saunders wouldn’t comment on that timing.

Gee, 69, retired July 1. He will remain at the university as a law professor, but details of his retirement package haven’t been released.

Ohio State, one of the country’s biggest universities with 65,000 students, has named provost Joseph Alutto as interim president.

“The university continues our focus on the strategic direction of the university under the leadership of Interim President Alutto,” said Saunders, who said she was speaking for the university and Gee. Asked for comment, Gee deferred to Saunders in an email Thursday.

In the audiotaped remarks to the Athletic Council, Gee criticized Notre Dame, saying the university was never invited to join the Big Ten because the school’s religious leaders are not “good partners.”

Gee, a Mormon, also jokingly referred to “those damn Catholics,” lampooned the academic integrity of the University of Louisville and Southeastern Conference schools, singling out the University of Kentucky. He alleged that University of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez considered former Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema a “thug.” Gee also made mildly disparaging remarks

about Alvarez and Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany.

Gee also laughingly suggested that someone would have to “shoot” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith before Smith would allow the University of Cincinnati to join the Big Ten. Trustees learned of the remarks in late January and following a series of meetings with Gee directed him in the March 11 letter to make amends.

Among those requirements: “Issuing personal apologies, as appropriate, to any group that you have offended.”

The same letter made mention of other past remarks that have “sometimes embarrassed and divided us.”

In March 2010, as a memorabilia-for-cash and tattoos scandal involving then-football coach Jim Tressel heated up, Gee jokingly said that rather than consider firing Tressel, he was concerned that “the coach doesn’t dismiss me.” Later that year, Gee compared the schedules of other major college football rivals to playing the “Little Sisters of the Poor,” a remark that led to an apology to the religious order.

Last year, Gee likened the challenges of running a large university to the “Polish Army,” a quip that led to another apology.

A week after receiving the trustees’ letter, Gee emailed Jenkins, the Notre Dame president, and asked without explanation if they could meet when Gee traveled to South Bend, Ind., “in the near future.” Jenkins responded the same day that he would “very much welcome a visit.”

Two weeks after the letter, a contrite Gee referred to his penchant for misspeaking in a March 29 address to the Columbus Metropolitan Club. “Those kinds of off-hand comments do not reflect my own thinking and certainly they are not the Ohio State ideals,” he said.

But Gee’s direct apologies for the Dec. 5 remarks did not begin in earnest until May 20, when his office was already reviewing the request for the audiotape.

Gee called Alvarez on May 21 to apologize for his Dec. 5 comments, which included the Bielema quip and a remark that he would not want Alvarez as his athletic director, calling him “kind of bigger than life.” Gee traveled to Notre Dame the same day to meet with Jenkins, and on May 24 called SEC Commissioner Mike Slive to apologize, according to the calendar.

During the same week, he also called University of Cincinnati President Santa Ono with an apology, according to officials at both universities.

Alvarez denied ever calling Bielema a thug, said he had accepted Gee’s apology and considered the matter closed. Notre Dame has called the remarks “regrettable” and said Jenkins had accepted Gee’s apology.

On May 31, the day after Gee’s remarks were made public, he emailed Bielema an apology. The next day, a Saturday, Gee called Bielema and University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto to apologize.

The following day, Sunday, June 2, Gee held an 8 a.m. meeting with a number of his top officials and aides, including the university’s top communications official, chief internal lawyer and the Ohio State human resources director. Saunders said Gee met with his leadership team frequently during his tenure and it would be inaccurate to infer that such meetings noted on the calendar had anything to do with his retirement.

The same day, Gee also called University of Louisville President Jim Ramsey to apologize.

Gee attended a meeting of the Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors in suburban Chicago later in the day, then issued a statement apologizing to the Big Ten that night.

In his Dec. 5 remarks, Gee said Delany, the Big Ten commissioner, “is very aggressive and we need to make certain he keeps his hands out of our pockets while we support him.”

Delany has called Gee’s comments “inappropriate” and said they “in no way represent the opinions of the conference.”

On Tuesday, June 4, Gee had breakfast with trustee chairman Bobby Schottenstein and lunch with Gov. John Kasich, according to the calendar. During the lunch with Kasich, which had been previously scheduled, Gee informed the governor of his decision to retire, Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols confirmed in a text message.

Gee met with other top officials during the day, then announced his retirement in a conference call with reporters around 3 p.m., followed by an email to the campus community.

— In a speech to the Columbus Metropolitan Club, Gee refers to his habit of unfortunate remarks without mentioning the Dec. 5 comments, saying: “Even as my world view has greatly expanded, I have at times misstepped.”

Monday, May 13 — The Associated Press submits public records request for audiotape of Dec. 5 remarks.

Thursday, May 16 — Gee speaks at the Health Sciences Commencement of Louisiana State University, an SEC school where his daughter is an assistant professor.

Monday, May 20 — During an already scheduled meeting with Roman Catholic Bishop Frederick Campbell of the Diocese of Columbus, Gee apologizes for his remark about Catholics.

Tuesday, May 21 — Gee calls Alvarez to apologize, then travels to South Bend to apologize in person to Jenkins.

Friday, May 24 — Gee calls SEC Commissioner Mike Slive to apologize.

— Leaves for a weeklong Disney cruise with his family.

Thursday, May 30 — The AP publishes a story about the Dec. 5 comments.

Friday, May 31 — University of Cincinnati President Santa Ono tweets that he accepts Gee’s apology from the week of May 20.

— Bielema tweets an image of an email apology that day from Gee. Saturday, June 1 — Gee returns from vacation.

— Gee calls Bielema and University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto to apologize.

Sunday, June 2 — Gee calls University of Louisville President Jim Ramsey to apologize.

— At 8 a.m., Gee meets with a number of his top officials and aides, including the university’s top communications official, chief internal lawyer and the Ohio State human resources director.

— At 10 a.m., he leaves for the Big 10 Council of Presidents’ meeting in suburban Chicago.

— That evening, Gee apologizes to the Big 10 in a statement.

Patriots’ Dennard accused of DUI in Nebraska

BY HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) — Alfonzo Dennard of the New England Patriots was arrested Thursday in Nebraska and accused of driving drunk in the state where he once starred as a defensive back.

It’s the second arrest of a Patriots player in 15 days.

Tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested on June 26 and charged with murder in the killing of Boston semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty. The Patriots cut Hernandez after he was arrested and before the charges were announced.

Dennard’s arrest is his second in 15 months. He hasn’t served a 30-day jail sentence for assaulting a police officer outside a Lincoln, Neb., bar on Apr. 21, 2012. That is scheduled to begin next March. He also was sentenced to two years of probation.

Both players were drafted lower than expected.

The Patriots chose Hernandez in the fourth round in 2010 after he violated the substance abuse policy at Florida. They picked Dennard in the seventh round in 2012 seven days after he was arrested for assault.

The Patriots issued a statement saying, “The New England Patriots are extremely disappointed to learn of Alfonzo Dennard’s arrest. We take this matter very seriously and are working to get more information on the incident.”

A phone listing for Dennard couldn’t be found.

Terry Dougherty, his attorney in the assault case, said in April 2013 that he would ask Lancaster County District Judge Stephanie Stacy to suspend the jail sentence if Dennard complied with the terms of his probation over the next 11 months. Stacy said she would consider such a motion. His attorney from that case declined comment on Thursday’s arrest.

Dennard, 24, was pulled over just before 2 a.m. Thursday and failed a field sobriety test, police said.

Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said Dennard was taken to a detoxification center but not jailed. He also was accused of refusing a chemical test and a driving infraction and had not been charged.

Flood said a final decision on the charges Dennard will face likely will be made by the Lincoln City Attorney’s Office before the court date already assigned to Dennard, Aug. 12. The city prosecutor handling the case didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

It’s unclear whether prosecutors will move to have Dennard’s probation revoked.

Lancaster County Attorney Joe Kelly didn’t immediately return a message.

One week after his arrest last year, the Patriots drafted Dennard with the 224th pick overall.

Dennard sat out the first four games of his rookie season with a hamstring injury then came off the bench in the next two. He started seven of the last 10 regularseason games and both playoff games at cornerback.

WVU awards new $80M media rights contract to IMG

BY VICKI SMITH Associated Press MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia University said Thursday it has awarded an $80 million, 12-year contract for multimedia rights to certain athletic events to North Carolina-based IMG College, the same company it had struck a tentative deal with earlier this year.

WVU was forced to rebid the contract after a review by the state attorney general’s office found “significant errors and sloppiness” in how the first deal was crafted. Two WVU Board of Governors members shouldn’t have participated in reviewing the bids, but Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said he found “no evidence of intentional wrongdoing.”

The new partnership is effective this fall, for the 2013-14 school year.

WVU said the deal includes: management of local game broadcasts and coaches’ shows for radio and television; publications such as media guides and schedules; digital platforms including social media and web sites; corporate sponsorships; at-event promotions and game-day hospitality; stadium and venue signage including scoreboards and ribbon boards; and advertising in university-owned and leased athletic facilities.

IMG will partner with West Virginia Media Holdings to develop the TV programming, WVU said.

The deal lets WVU retain some existing corporate sponsorships for athletic apparel, footwear and other areas.

“It was time for WVU Athletics to grow our multimedia and sponsorship sales, especially with our recent move to the Big 12 Conference,” Athletic Director Oliver Luck said in a prepared statement. “... WVU now has the opportunity to expand its revenue base by engaging new national sponsors while building our athletic and university brand.”

IMG President Ben Sutton said WVU is one of the last major schools to handle multimedia and sponsorship sales in-house, adding that he is grateful for its trust.

IMG also handles multimedia for Baylor, Kansas, TCU and Texas — all Big 12 schools — and represents more than 90 universities nationwide.

Last month, West Virginia Radio Corp. filed a lawsuit to try to stop both IMG and West Virginia Media Holdings from participating in the rebid. The radio company owned by Morgantown businessman John Raese has said it doesn’t plan to compete for the contract, but it called the current process a sham.

WVU’s broadcast rights are currently

handled by the university-operated Mountaineer Sports Network, which works closely with West Virginia Radio.

Raese attorney Bob Gwynne did not immediately return a phone message about WVU’s announcement.

Raese cried foul when WVU announced it had tentatively declared IMG the winning bidder for the first contract.

The attorney general then reviewed allegations of misconduct and concluded that Board of Governors members Drew Payne and David Alvarez shouldn’t have participated in reviewing the original proposals.

Morrisey’s investigation concluded that Luck improperly provided confidential details of the proposed contract with IMG to Payne, whose subsequent comments about the financial terms of the deal were also improper.

WVU suspended talks with IMG after reports that both Payne and Alvarez had ties to West Virginia Media, which was then angling to subcontract with IMG. To rebid the contract, WVU created a new evaluation committee, and appointed a new procurement liaison and an external legal adviser from the attorney general’s office.

DALLAS (AP) — You might say Orville Rogers is a late bloomer.

years ago, and the Dallas man now has more than a dozen medals and records.

The WWII and Korean War veteran says he started running the day after reading “Aerobics”

by Dr. Kenneth Cooper. That was 1968 — and he never looked back.

Cooper became Rogers’ physician and says Rogers is a testament to getting in better shape as you age. One thing Rogers is proud of is having run a 10minute mile in recent years.

Rogers says he’ll compete in events at a Kansas track meet this weekend.

Egypt’s liberals pressing for democracy

BY SARAH EL DEEB Associated Press CAIRO (AP) — The liberal and youth movements that backed the military’s removal of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi are now pushing to ensure their calls for change are heard in the face of the generals’ strong grip on the new leadership. At stake is the hope that the Arab world’s most populous nation will emerge from more than two years of turmoil as a democracy.

Morsi’s removal brought a wave of celebration after millions nationwide joined four days of protests last week demanding his removal. But that is giving way to a harder reality for the democracy advocates who organized the protests including many of the same movements that led the uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011 then opposed the military’s subsequent 17month rule.

Many are wary of the military’s influence and skeptical that it backs their reform agenda and insist they must not become a liberal facade. But they are also under heavy pressure to keep unity within the militarybacked leadership: The charged nationalist, proarmy atmosphere that has swept the country has little tolerance for breaking ranks at a time when Islamists continue protests demanding the return of Morsi.

Earlier this week, the head of the military issued a sharply worded statement that reinforced that message, warning political factions against “maneuvering” that holds up progress.

The strategy of the revolutionary groups an array of leftist, secular and liberal movements is to push hard for figures they trust to take the top spots in the new government being constructed that will run the country, probably until early next year.

So far they seem to be succeeding. Leading reform advocate Mohamed ElBaradei, an iconic figure to some activists, has been named vice president. An economist active in the movements is the new prime minister.

ElBaradei’s appointment is “a great revolutionary gain,” Mohammed Abdel-Aziz, a leader of Tamarod, the youth activist movement whose anti-Morsi petition campaign led to the protests, wrote on the group’s Facebook page. Once the government is formed, the

next battle is to “impose the vision of the revolution, more importantly, on the permanent constitution.”

On Thursday, the National Salvation Front the main grouping of liberal and secular parties, in which ElBaradei is a senior leader demanded the Cabinet “be made up from figures who belong to the Jan. 25 Revolution.”

Much is on the line for the movements: They have to prove their gambit of supporting the military ouster of the country’s first freely elected leader can bring a democracy.

When army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi announced on national TV on July 3 that Morsi had been removed, standing with him were ElBaradei and representatives of Tamarod, along with the sole Islamist group backing Morsi’s ouster, the AlNour Party, and other figures.

Their presence implied that they would have a say in power. But it opened them to charges that longtime proponents of democracy were fomenting a military takeover. Morsi’s Islamist supporters say the military’s coup has destroyed democracy and is bringing back dictatorship. The United States has expressed concern over the military’s move, though it acknowledges the popular support for it. “It’s clear that the Egyptian people have spoken,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday.

The liberals’ position was made even harder after more than 50 proMorsi protesters were killed by troops and police in clashes Monday.

Amr Ezzat, a human rights researcher, said the military will have to respect the voices of the revolutionary movements, which it ignored when it stepped into rule after Mubarak. The street is too primed to rise up again on “a new adventure.”

“ElBaradei has a role and influence in what is going on. El-Sissi knows there is opposition out there, which managed to turn things upside down.

It must have a representative (in power). This is progress,” he said.

If the politicians backslide on democracy promises, activist groups on the ground say they are willing and able to take to the streets again to demand their agenda, which includes social justice, respect for human rights and civil liberties, and greater accountability over government and the military.

Some are already dismayed by the return of military power and the police, which were hated under Mubarak but now are basking in public praise after backing Morsi’s ouster.

Sally Toma, a longtime activist, called what has happened “a coup against the revolution.”

“We are against the military and the Brotherhood. We struggle against both,” she said, adding that a new Tamarod-style canvassing campaign called “Manifesto” to collect popular demands is already in the works. “We are back to square one.

Our demands are the same.”

Already, the liberal movements are hitting back against any signs by the new leadership of turning against their agenda.

One notable example came amid negotiations over the prime minster post last week. Abdel-Aziz of Tamarod publicly accused the spokesman of the new interim president of lying and demanded he be more accountable to the public. It was sparked when an agreement to appoint ElBaradei as prime minister was blocked by Al-Nour. The spokesman told journalists there was no final deal to name him the sort of spin that in the past went unchallenged.

Bigger frictions erupted when the interim president issued a declaration that was effectively a truncated constitution for the transition period, defining the basic government authorities until elections early next year.

Tamarod and the Salvation Front objected that they had not been consulted and demanded changes. In part, they said it gave too much power to the president, a post they had envisaged as symbolic. But in particular, they were up in arms that it retained clauses opening the door for greater Islamic law that Islamists had put into the constitution they drafted and passed under Morsi.

The groups saw that as a gesture to Al-Nour and protested that the Islamist party was claiming undeserved influence even after Morsi’s fall.

Mai Wahba, a founding member of Tamarod, said the group had since negotiated with the interim president and that it is satisfied its concerns are being addressed. She said Tamarod was convinced the Islamist clauses will be removed in the amended constitution.

She acknowledged that the support of Al-Nour is needed for the interim

government.

“Don’t forget, Al-Nour can go ally with the Brotherhood and represent pressure on national security,” she said. “The situation right now won’t stand divisions again among the civil current. This will benefit the Islamist current.”

Still, that sort of compromise and pragmatism does not go over well with some groups in the street.

One activist group, the National Community for Human Rights and Law, denounced the constitutional declaration as “repressive,” saying it belongs to the “Mubarak and Morsi era, not to the revolution.”

The killings of the Morsi supporters on Monday are also proving a moral test for the democracy advocates. Human rights groups are torn between their mandate to document violations and their reservations about the Brotherhood’s own attitude on rights advocates.

Ghada Shahbender, a leading rights activist, said that her “personal dilemma” was that rights groups defended Islamists suppressed during the Mubarak regime, but after Mubarak’s fall the Brotherhood turned against rights activists. “Today we are supposed to go defend them, stand in their defense,” she said.

After the killings, Shahbender said human rights lawyers went to the morgue to document the deaths and help families find their slain loved ones.

Brotherhood lawyers turned them away, saying their help was not needed.

Over the past two years, Brotherhood officials accused rights groups of being foreign-funded and echoed the military’s justifications for crackdowns on protesters during the post-Mubarak military rule.

Shahbender said she has also been documenting attacks by Morsi supporters on their opponents the past weeks.

In one incident in Cairo near where she lives, she said, “they stood on top of a mosque and shot people in cold blood. … I am trying to be unbiased but I am a human being.”

She too reflected that hope that reformminded figures like ElBaradei in government will advance their cause, noting that the new interim president called for an investigation into killings.

And, she said, “we have a vice president who has always pushed the human rights agenda to the forefront.”

Egypt to investigate Morsi for jailbreak

BY HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press CAIRO (AP) — Prosecutors will investigate allegations that Egypt’s ousted president escaped from prison during the 2011 revolution with help from the Palestinian militant group Hamas, officials said Thursday.

Chief prosecutor Hesham Barakat has received testimonies from a court in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia that will be the base for an investigation by state security prosecutors into the jailbreak by Mohammed Morsi and more than 30 other Muslim Brotherhood leaders, according to the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

The question of whether Hamas helped them escape amid the chaos surrounding the 2011 uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak has been debated in the media for months and proved a political headache for Morsi during his one-year rule as Egypt’s first freely elected president. Critics

in the opposition and judiciary have suggested that proof of foreign intervention on Egyptian soil could lead to treason charges.

The issue has taken on more significance since Morsi was ousted on July 3 by the military following a wave of protests in which millions of Egyptians called on him to step down. The toppled Islamist leader has been kept at an undisclosed Defense Ministry facility and no charges against him have been announced.

Hamas has denied any role in the Jan. 29, 2011, jailbreak at Wadi el-Natroun prison northwest of Cairo. Morsi and other Brotherhood leaders have said local residents helped them escape after most inmates left the facility.

The investigation stems from a court case against a former inmate, but judge Khaled Mahgoub turned what was in effect a low-profile trial into a public inquiry into the escape by Morsi and the other Brotherhood officials. A series of prison of-

ficials, police and intelligence agents testified, some behind closed doors.

In the end, Mahgoub referred the testimonies he collected to the chief prosecutor’s office with a request that he investigates the matter further.

In part at least, the trial in Ismailia fits into a picture of strained relations between Morsi and the judiciary after what many judges saw as his encroachment on the independence of the judiciary.

A string of top police, prison and intelligence officials have blamed Hamas, a close ally of Morsi’s Brotherhood, saying the militant group sent fighters from the Gaza Strip to join with Bedouins from the Sinai Peninsula to storm prisons and break out the jailed Hamas members.

In Egypt’s polarized political climate, opponents of the ousted leader used the issue against him, saying friends of the Brotherhood violated the country’s security and fed its instability. The eagerness of some in the intelligence and security

agencies to blame Hamas reflect in part resentment of the Brotherhood’s ties with the militant group, which they have long seen as a threat.

News of the intended investigation came one day after authorities issued arrest warrants for the Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, Mohammed Badie, and nine other Islamists accused of inciting violence after deadly clashes the latest moves by the new military-backed government as it tries to choke off the group’s campaign to reinstate Morsi.

The warrants drew an angry response from the Brotherhood, which said “dictatorship is back” and insisted it will never work with the interim rulers.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called Egypt’s Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Ali Amr to express his “deep concern about continued detentions in Egypt and arrest warrants issued against Muslim Brotherhood leaders and others.”

Ban said, “There is no place for retribution or for the exclusion of any major party or community in Egypt.”
