Ex-fireman pleads guilty to theft

Concord Township Trustees review feedback

A former member of the fire department in Tipp City entered a guilty plea to a lone count of theft in office at a hearing in common pleas court Monday where he waived a grand jury’s consideration of his felony case. Brandon E. Wolters, 26, made the plea in an agreement with prosecutors that stipulated no further criminal charges will be filed in the case. See Page 4.

BUSINESS ROUNDUP

Revised Code 505.17, which would prohibit the parking of commercial vehicles on any street in a residential subdivision of the township. The areas of the resolution in question pertain to the phrase: no person shall park or permit any motor vehicle having motor power and used as a commercial vehicle or a commercial tractor to be parked “at any time” on any street in a residential subdivision of the township. Signage may apply, yet Whidden said more answers would follow after more clarity was provided by the legal council. Whidden also said the language

would have to be clarified to pertain only to township-owned roads, not state or county highways inside the township limits, to avoid the Ohio Department of Transportation’s involvement in the resolution. “It’s a little more complicated than we initially thought,” Whidden said. “There’s a little more work that I need to do to get the language to be appropriate (for the Concord Township’s needs).” Whidden said he would contact the township’s legal council for more answers before moving forward with action. Whidden also said he would address the “vague” language of the enforcement side of the resolution.

In other news, Trustee Sue Campbell shared with Whidden and Trustee Tom Mercer that township officials may now contact the county recorder’s office to show an attempt to contact owners of vacant/abandoned or unkempt properties. Campbell said trustees will continue to post notices on the doors and online at the township’s website before township workers mow lawns for noxious weeds and assess the property owner for the labor and equipment used to do so. Campbell said she was advised by Altier about the proper procedure to notify homeowners or mortgage holders and was also advised how to place a lien of record at the county recorder’s

office to show proof of contact. Road superintendent Neil Rhodes said the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office has provided a speed wagon that will appear for several weeks around the township in trouble spots. Township officials passed the 2014 tax budget officially at the meeting. Fiscal officer Pat Quillen reported both revenue and expenditures were on target for the first half of the fiscal year. Township also received a $91,851 estate tax notice from the estate of Nelda Schmidlapp. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, July 16, at 10 a.m. at the Concord Township Building on Horizon West Court.

the city ignore demands to create a regulation of the free speech messages. “While we do not condone temporarily defacing public property to express personal beliefs, we believe that limitations placed on any method of free speech are a restriction and violation of the First Amendment. In addition, these regulations may inadvertently affect the play of children and educational opportunities within our local schools,” Winteregg read from the letter. Livingston and Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington said they would continue to look into the issue. In other council news: • Health district funding was approved at a cost of about $341,260. Titterington stated that under state law the city is required to offer public health services, and

for more than 30 years, such services have been provided by the public health district. A levy for the public health district failed last November, meaning the city would be required to fund it. • Council approved legislation outlining the physical boundaries of the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover venue and setting the times and ground rules for all events. • Members also OK’d a contract for continuing to purchase lime from the city of Dayton at a cost up to $130,000. Troy uses the pebble line for water softening. • Repairs to Broadford Bridge — a 2014 ODOT project — were approved as well. Construction to the bridge, which crosses the Great Miami River at Troy’s eastern border, will be at no cost to the city, but consent was required. • Selling surplus city vehicles and equipment also was unanimously approved.

Obama admin delays major requirement of health law WASHINGTON (AP) — In a major concession to business groups, the Obama administration Tuesday unexpectedly announced a one-year delay, until after the 2014 elections, in a central requirement of the new health care law that many companies provide coverage for their workers or face fines. The move sacrificed timely implementation of President Barack Obama’s signature legislation but may help the administration politically by blunting an election-year line of attack Republicans were planning to use. The employer requirements are among the most complex parts of the health care law, which is designed to expand coverage for uninsured Americans. “We have heard concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively,” Treasury Assistant Secretary Mark Mazur said in a blog post. “We have listened to your feedback and we are taking action.”

Business groups were jubilant. “A pleasant surprise,” said Randy Johnson, senior vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. There was no inkling in advance of the administration’s action, he said. “We commend the administration’s wise move,” said Neil Trautwein, a vice president of the National Retail Federation. It “will provide employers and businesses more time to update their health care coverage without threat of arbitrary punishment.” But the delay could also undermine the law’s main goal of covering the nearly 50 million Americans without health insurance. Already, Republican resistance in the states will deny access to a planned Medicaid expansion at least for next year to millions of lowincome people. Under the health law, companies with 50 or more workers must provide affordable coverage to their fulltime employees or risk a series of escalating tax penalties if just one worker

dent pastor” with First United Methodist Church in Troy, was charged after authorities began investigating alleged inappropriate sexual conduct with the victim. Those allegations were first reported to Miami County Children’s Services, and the agency subsequently brought the matter forth to investigators with the Troy Police Department and the Miami County Sheriff’s Office. According to the church’s website, Mohler’s position as a youth pastor involved assisting with and coordinating youth events for children. The head pastor at the church, Rev. David Leckrone, said Mohler was removed from his position as soon as he learned of the accusation in February. The reverend added church officials were “shocked and deeply saddened” by the allegations, which he said church officials took “extremely seriously.”

eliminate council’s health insurance through a referendum vote. “We all want to do the right thing and we all want to save the city money. But I want to do it the right way for the right reasons,” Gibson said. Council has voted on the issue several times in recent years, with Budding, Gibson and Katelyn Berbach consistently voting to stop health insurance. Council also granted an easement to Tipp Top Canning for a discharge line that conveys waste from the canning facility to a lagoon on private property north of Kyle Park. This easement is being granted in exchange for an easement from Tipp Top Canning for a sanitary sewer line for the Main Street Station.

Covington council OKs hazardous ordinance BY AMY MAXWELL For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com Covington Village Council met Monday evening and voted on several pieces of legislation. Council voted an ordinance into place making it illegal to improperly dispose of hazardous materials and construction materials. They also approved the purchase of recycling containers, lids and a tipper for the recycling truck. This purchase is funded in part with a recycling grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. “I would also like to purchase an additional 50 yellow recycling lids for our 96 gallon containers,” village administrator Mike Busse said. “The reason for the request is that Greenville Village Apartments has expressed interest in using the 96 gallon containers instead of the smaller 48 gallon containers.” Brice Schmitmeyer, professional engineer with Fanning-Howey, was present to inform council on the status of pending Ohio Public Works Commission applications. Busse also informed council of developments on the current Spring Street project. “Brice and I discussed the engineering for Spring

Street and agreed the first step is to record accurate data on existing profiles of structures and utilities,” he said. “I have a quote from Robert Cron & Associates to complete the profiling work and to provide this data to Fanning-Howey for the design work, and I recommend we enter into an agreement for the surveying services.” Council was in agreement. During Busse’s administrator’s report, he updated council on the Safe Routes to School Grants. “We had our kick off meeting with the Ohio Department of Transportation,” he said. “Covington has been awarded a $240,000 infrastructure grant for sidewalk installation in the areas of Ludlow, Chestnut and East Broadway streets. We have also been awarded a $6,730 non-infrastructure grant for enforcement and both grants were awarded at an 80/20 match.” Council also voted to accept Thomas Brandt III as a probationary firefighter. Fire Chief Bill Westfall was present to request the hiring of Brandt. “We’ve had some changes at the department

such as a retiree and I think he would be a great asset to add to the department,” he said. “He’s a third generation firefighter and has been around the field his whole life.” A representative from McGohan Brabender held an Insurance Workshop prior to the meeting to discuss the Employee Healthcare Plan and council plans to vote on the plan at their next meeting. Council made some changes to their regularly scheduled meeting for July 15 due to members being out of town. They will instead hold their next meeting at 5 p.m. Wednesday Aug. 7. They also plan to vote on a resolution assessing the cost of repairing the sidewalks to the property owners at their next meeting. Mayor Ed McCord closed the meeting by thanking Busse for his instrumental role in the sidewalk project. “This sidewalk program has been a monumental undertaking and we have made a lot of progress on sidewalks that were in really bad shape,” he said. “Mike Busse deserves a lot of accolades and is well beyond the time that we expect him to be here in the village, and I just want to say how much I appreciate what Mike has done.”

Second man convicted in Tim Hortons robbery BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@civitasmedia.com

TROY

A second man has been convicted in the May 28 robbery of Tim Hortons, 700 W. Main St., Troy, following a common pleas court hearing Tuesday morning. Brandon J. Brumbaugh, 20, of Troy, entered a guilty plea to felony robbery

and is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 9. His accomplice, Quontes J. Atkins, 20, of Troy, entered a plea of no contest and was found guilty of the same charge in court Friday. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for Aug. 19. Both men were originally charged with

Ex-fireman pleads guilty to theft charge BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@civitasmedia.com A former member of the fire department in Tipp City entered a guilty plea to a lone count of theft in office at a hearing in common pleas court Monday where he waived a grand jury’s consideration of his felony case. Brandon E. Wolters, 26, made the plea in an agreement with prosecutors that stipulated no further criminal charges will be filed in the case. Wolters stole seven pagers from the city’s volunteer fire department and later sold the stolen items through an online website, police reports and court documents state. Now a resident of Fairborn and attempting to obtain his doctorate, Wolters is no longer associated with the city’s fire department. During the investigation he was briefly placed on paid administrative leave.

TROY Investigators began looking into the former firefighter and paramedic in April after the emergency pagers were reported missing. He later confessed to authorities. Wolters faces up to a year in prison at his upcoming sentencing hearing Sept. 16. for his theft in office conviction. A presentence investigation was ordered in the case. Prosecuting attorney Janna Parker said a conviction of theft in office disqualifies Wolters from ever holding public office, and restitution for his crime could be taken out of any police/fire pension he receives. Individually the pagers cost about $300 and Wolters allegedly made $500 from the sales. Wolters was with the department for approximately six years and served as a building inspector.

aggravated robbery but those charges were later amened to robbery, a seconddegree felony that carries a prison sentence of between two to eight years behind bars. Both remain at the Miami County Jail on $100,000 bonds. A short time after holding up the restaurant the men were spotted in a vehicle by a Miami County sheriff ’s

crashes. Deputies will be targeting Miami County roadways with high incidents of crashes and OVI arrests. The extra enforcement patrols are being funded through a grant the Sheriff’s Office received late last year from the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services which administers the federal grant monies for the State. The grant also pays for some fuel costs. If you choose to drink this weekend, please have a designated driver or face arrest.

The city of Troy offices will be closed Thursday in observance of the Fourth of July holiday. City refuse collection and curbside recycling will be delayed one day starting July 4. Thursday’s collection will take place on Friday, and Friday’s collection will take place on Saturday, July 6.

Troy Ford, community members raise $3,560 for United Way of Troy

MIAMI COUNTY — The Miami County Sheriff’s Office will be out in full force for the Fourth of July holiday weekend, cracking down on drunk drivers with an aggressive “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest” enforcement blitz. Beginning July 3, through July 7, deputies will be working 60 hours in overtime assigned to county and state roadways at various time frames for the sole purpose of traffic enforcement. The primary focus will be on removing impaired drivers and other crash causing violations along with seatbelt enforcement. Statistically, the Fourth of July holiday period is one of the deadliest on the nation’s roadways with alcohol playing a large factor in many of the

TROY — Troy Ford and members of the local community helped raise much-needed funds for United Way of Troy at a recent test-drive event, as part of Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR Community program. More than 180 Troy area residents test-drove a Ford vehicle at Hobart Arena as part of the NonProfit Expo held April 27. Troy Ford and Ford Motor Company donated $20 per test drive. The $3,560 will go to the United Way of Troy to help those in need in the Troy community. Dealership staff and volunteers were on site to assist and answer

questions but there were no sales pitches or selling of vehicles. Ford has developed the Drive 4 UR Community program, which is modeled after the successful Drive 4 UR School program. To date, Ford dealerships and local communities across the United States have helped to raise more than $16 million for high schools thanks to their hard work and partnership with the Drive 4 UR School program. “I think it is amazing how this community supports the United Way,” said Greg Taylor of Troy Ford. “We raised more than $3,500 in one afternoon simply by test driving new Ford cars. Troy Ford and Ford Motor Company recognize how important the United Way and all the non-profits are to this community, and it is our pleasure to help raise much-needed funds for them. “With all the cutbacks in community budgets, finding creative ways to fund-raise is imperative,” said Richard Bender, executive director of United Way of Troy. “The money from Ford will make a difference to our local community and it says a lot about who they are as a company. The money raised on April 27 will help local agencies help those in need in our community.” For more information about the United Way of Troy and its agencies, visit www.unitedwayoftroy.org.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Australian, Sydney on flight to authoritarian regimes: By flitting from one authoritarian country to another and hoping, like WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, to end up in the embrace of Ecuador, the fugitive US spy agency contractor Edward Snowden is making a mockery of his claims to be a high-minded whistle blower acting purely in the interests of “freedom and basic liberties”. His trajectory from Hong Kong — a Special Administrative Region of China, which has been severely criticized for its human rights record and pervasive cyber espionage — onwards to Russia, where the definition of treason and espionage has been expanded to include “international advocacy on human rights”, is hardly reassuring for those trying to draw comparisons between Snowden and Daniel Ellsberg. According to Assange, Snowden’s final goal is political asylum in Ecuador, which has arranged temporary travel documents for him, possibly travelling via Cuba and Venezuela. The three Latin American countries share poor human rights records. Ecuador, which is providing refuge for Assange in London, has a history of oppression against media freedom that was reinforced recently with a so-called “gag law” condemned by Human Rights Watch as “an assault on free speech”. This does not appear to have bothered Assange. Nor, apparently, does it bother Snowden, who is seeking to mount his case against the US over global surveillance programs by the National Security Agency. The US, as Human Rights Watch attests, has “a vibrant civil society and media that enjoy strong constitutional protections” - the ideals Snowden says he holds dear. Like Assange, who is seeking to avoid facing charges in Sweden, a liberal democracy with a fine legal tradition, Snowden is ill-serving the cause he espouses by seeking help from authoritarian regimes antagonistic to the freedoms he claims to value. U.S. senator Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat with a long record of support for liberal causes, has said of Snowden: “I don’t think running is a noble thought.” She’s right: if he really believed in what he was doing and wanted to be taken seriously as a whistle blower, Snowden would have done better to stay home and defend himself. Like Assange, he is being compromised by his own unfortunate choices. The Paris (Tenn.) Post-Intelligencer on tolerance policy set Mandela apart: Nelson Mandela, who has been hospitalized in critical condition for more than a week, was called a "world hero" by President Barack Obama. Mandela has exhibited that rarest of qualities for national leaders: Grace. Imprisoned by the racist government of South Africa for a quarter-century, he led the gallant campaign that finally put his nation's black majority in power. That was enough to earn him a gold star in the history books, but what happened next is what was so very remarkable. Down through world history, oppressed peoples who successfully revolted against the power structure invariably took violent revenge on those who had lorded it over them. The 18th Century French Revolution is the prime example. Guillotines were kept busy chopping the heads off people whose only offense was to have been a member of the former aristocracy. The same thing happened time and again in different parts of the world. Once free of oppressive rule, the masses reacted violently. But not South Africa. Its black population had long been under the thumb of white apartheid, and when that majority finally controlled the government the world expected a bloodbath. But due in a very high degree to Mandela's influence, it didn't happen. Instead, the new power structure offered forgiveness. Only in the most blatant cases were charges brought against oppressors. The policy of the new government was for both the races to live together in peace. The design of the nation's new flag showed two streams from different sources coming together to create a new whole. It was not all his doing, of course, but no one had a greater share in the policy of togetherness than Nelson Mandela. A world hero indeed.

DOONESBURY

I will forever remain chained to my iPhone I’ve had my iPhone for about a year, and I must say I’ve become tethered to it like a child to his blankie. Many nights it rests safely beside my pillow, or on my iHome across the room, ensuring I can see it light up with an incoming text. I’m ashamed to say that, even when I’m half asleep, I usually get up out of my warm bed and check my message. Anything moderately important, dramatic or just plain hilarious cannot wait until morning, you know. This, friends, is when you know you have a problem. But lately I’ve been so busy preparing to move — packing up boxes, finishing up at work, tying up loose ends, pulling my hair out, etc., — that my phone has become less of an entertaining, resourceful necessity and more of an anxietyinducing annoyance. No one seems to text me except when I’m knee-deep in a story. No one calls me except when I’ve put in my retainer, about ready to fall asleep. And no one emails me anything important except when I’m grocery shopping, taking out laundry or driving to get my car repaired.

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist Surely this is a “First World problem” at its finest, meaning this is hardly a problem at all. But when the need to stay connected makes me feel increasingly uneasy and scatterbrained, I think it’s time to do something about it. Time to cut back. Few things derail me at work more than getting the buzz of an incoming text — hence the reason why I’ve turned off my phone to write this column. It’s 9:23 p.m. on a Monday night, and I’m well aware that left to my own devices (mainly, my phone), I’d text the night away rather than knuckle down. I’m pleased to say this reprieve from technology is boding well with my desire to get to bed early. It’s not even the actual act of

responding that’s time-consuming and stressful. Often it’s the thought process inherent that distracts me from working or going about my day. How do I tactfully tell a friend I don’t have time to meet for lunch? How do I learn to “just say no” to that unintentionally imposing request? How do I give a caring, concerned response via a medium as harsh as texting? And gosh, why is auto-correct never automatically correct? Usually during the day I think, “Maybe I should just avoid this message till I can call after work. Yeah. That sounds right. I’ll call after work.” But then, once I leave the office, I’d rather drive down the highway blaring “Crash My Party” or “Cruise” then follow through on that phone call. I suppose after being “on call” all day, I don’t want to feel obligated to talk to anyone. Is that anti-social? Yes. Yet I know I’d be the lamest conversationalist ever, so what’s the point? Give me an hour of sacred alone time post-work and I’ll bounce back to my chipper, chatty self. I just need time to collect my thoughts and get my life together before I’m ready to dole out some

tough love to friends. (Girls in their 20s tend to play therapists to each other, in case you didn’t know.) Now, I must say my beloved iPhone has also comforted me on terrible days, in the form of uplifting texts and inspirational Pinterest quotes. Yes, there is a time and place for cellular interruptions. And I suppose I’m a hypocrite in this regard. For every time I delay responding to a text because I’m busy, there’s another time when my own texts are ignored momentarily and the minutes drag by. Annoyance sets in. Pay attention to me! I want to shout. Sometimes I wish I were part of a simpler generation, one that talked on the phone and wrote letters (I do both often, by the way), instead of tapping away on a rectangular screen. But I guess using various forms of communication isn’t really a bad thing. Now excuse me while I go respond to my texts. This is Natalie Knoth’s final column in the Troy Daily News as she moves to Cincinnati to seek new challenges

Alabama man who drove Hank Williams on his last trip dies MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Charles Carr, who was just 18 when he drove country music legend Hank Williams on his final, lonesome journey, has died. The director of the Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, Beth Petty, said Carr, a retired investor, died Monday after a brief illness. He was 79. Carr’s son, Charles Lands Carr, said his father didn’t talk much about being Williams’ driver on that final trip on Jan. 1, 1953, until late in his life. Williams died during the night in his 1952 blue Cadillac near Bluefield, W.Va., while he and Carr were on their way to

Canton. The Cadillac is on display in the Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery. Carr began to speak more about Williams’ last ride after he became involved with the museum. “When he was younger he didn’t have an interest in being defined by that moment in his life,” Lands Carr said. In later years, Lands Carr said the museum “embraced” his father who became more comfortable talking about that trip with Williams. “If they invited him, he made a point of being there,” Lands Carr said of the museum. Petty described Carr as

a friend of the Hank Williams museum and as a man who “was always kind to fans of Hank.” Petty said Carr never tried to profit from the fact that he was driving the country music singer on that last trip. Carr was a friend of the Williams’ family when Williams asked him to drive him from Montgomery to a New Year’s Day concert in Canton, Ohio. Carr’s father owned a Montgomery cab company at the time. “My father drove for them from time to time,” Lands Carr said. A funeral service for Carr will be at 3 p.m. Saturday at Leak Memory Chapel in Montgomery, with the burial following in Greenwood Cemetery. Visitation will be from 1 to 3 p.m. at Leak Memory Chapel.

There are three men with ties to Ohio who made were major innovators in American education during the 19th century. They are said to have revolutionized the teaching of the “Three R’s” of elementary education – “readin, ritin, and rithmetic”. These men were William Holmes McGuffey, Platt Roger Spencer and Joseph Ray. William Holmes McGuffey was born on September 23, 1800 in Washington County, Pennsylvania. At the age of two, he and his family moved to Tuscarawas County. McGuffey received most of his education from his mother, Anna McKittrick McGuffey. In 1818, he got the chance to attended Old Stone Academy for two years. He then attended Washington College in Pennsylvania. Once he completed his education, McGuffey accepted a teaching position at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He taught Greek, Latin and Hebrew but had a difficult time teaching these because William Holmes McGuffey his students spoke many different forms of English. This experience Courtesy of the Ohio Historical led him to write a “reading” book. The book’s success led him to Society write five more books. The McGuffey Eclectic Readers, as the books were known, revolutionized the teaching of reading. McGuffey died on May 4, 1873. Platt Roger Spencer was born in 1800 in New York State and became fascinated with writing by the time he was nine. Spencer often had no paper on which to write, so he used birch bark with a quill pen with ink made from berries. He also wrote in the sand with a stick. Spencer and his family moved to Ashtabula County, Ohio in 1810. He was enrolled at Conneaut school. It was here he started teaching his classmates to write clearly. After he completed school, he found it very easy to find jobs that required legible handwriting. Some of Spencer’s employers paid Platt Rogers Spencer him to teach them to write. His system of handwriting became known as Spencerian handwriting and was used in schools throughCourtesy of the Ohio Historical out the United States. Spencer died in 1864. Society Joseph Ray was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1807. By the age of fifteen, Ray was studying algebra, geometry and surveying. At the age of sixteen he began teaching mathematics.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, July 3, the 184th day of 2013. There are 181 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 3, 1863, the three-day Civil War Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania ended in a major victory for the North as Confederate troops failed to breach Union positions during an assault known as Pickett’s Charge. On this date: • In 1608, the city of Quebec was founded by Samuel de Champlain. • In 1775, Gen. George Washington took command of the Continental Army at Cambridge, Mass. • In 1913, during a 50th anniver-

sary reunion at Gettysburg, Pa., Civil War veterans re-enacted Pickett’s Charge, which ended with embraces and handshakes between the former enemies. • In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle signed an agreement recognizing Algeria as an independent state after 132 years of French rule. • In 1971, singer Jim Morrison of The Doors died in Paris at age 27. • In 1988, the USS Vincennes shot down an Iran Air jetliner over the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 people aboard. • Ten years ago: The U.S. put a

$25 million bounty on Saddam Hussein, and $15 million apiece for his two sons. (The $30 million reward for Odai and Qusai Hussein went to a tipster whose information led U.S. troops to their hideout, where the brothers were killed in a gunbattle.) • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Tim O’Connor is 86. Actor Kurtwood Smith is 70. Actress Betty Buckley is 66. Actress Jan Smithers is 64. Former Haitian President Jean-Claude Duvalier is 62. Talk show host Montel Williams is 57.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Tell Jane you are worried; then help her seek counseling Dear Annie: I've been friends with "Jane" and "Carol" since college. Unfortunately, since her mom died well over a decade ago, Jane has become a hermit. She is distant, and whenever we make plans, she makes an excuse at the very last minute to cancel on us. We're frustrated. While I can sympathize with her terrible loss, I feel she needs to move on and start living again. She can't hide in her room forever. Carol and I are not sure how to approach this. We want to be sensitive to Jane's feelings but at the same time get her to realize that she has friends and family who love her and want to spend time with her. What should we do? — Frustrated Friends Dear Friends: If Jane has been so severely depressed about her mother's death for more than a decade, she needs professional help. She is stuck. Tell her you are worried about her, and suggest she look into counseling to help her get her life back on track. She also can find a Motherless Daughters support group through hopeedelman.com. Dear Annie: After 56 years of marriage, our father passed away and left my mother alone for the first time in her life. Four years after Dad died, Mom suffered a bout of meningitis. While she has recovered completely, she is convinced that she is bedridden. I moved back home to take care of her because no one else would. My younger sister lives in the house with us, but does her own thing. The problem is, four other siblings live in the same city, and three are retired. Yet no one helps look after Mom but me. Mom has a sharp tongue, but her memory is shot. Even when she is insulting, she doesn't remember it. I drive nearly 100 miles a day to and from work. When I get home, I clean the kitchen and make sure Mom has a hot meal while watching TV. I am D.O.T.: disappointed, overwhelmed and tired. My spirit is broken; I don't spend time with friends; I don't talk on the phone; I don't do anything. I worry that I will die of exhaustion and Mom will be alone. My mother, of course, has no sympathy for my situation. I am not the executor of her will or a beneficiary. But I would like to enjoy a few years before my life is over. — Tired and Miserable Dear Tired: You are kind, compassionate and devoted. But you don't need to wear yourself out for your mother. That does neither of you any good. Of course, your siblings should step up, but they are not going to do it, so handle this as if you were an only child. Your mother could benefit from day care programs, and you need respite care. Contact the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.gov), AARP (aarp.org), the Family Caregiver Alliance (caregiver.org) and the Alzheimer's Association (alz.org) for information and help. Dear Annie: "Trouble in Hubbard" is the executor of her mother's estate. She is concerned that one grandson has borrowed a great deal of money, and she wants to deduct that amount from his inheritance after Grandma dies. As an executor of an estate (or trustee of a trust), "Trouble" has no choice but to divide and distribute Grandma's will or trust the way it's written upon her death. Since debts owed Grandma prior to her death are legitimate assets of the estate, this would require adjusting a beneficiary's share of distributions. To do otherwise opens the executor or trustee to lawsuits from the other beneficiaries. If it contributes to family strife, "Trouble" should resign in favor of appointing a bank or licensed trust company as executor. — Kailua, Hawaii Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Shopping for savings is easier than you might think Dear Readers: Saving money never goes out of style. With groceries costing more and more, here are some simple hints to cut costs the next time you go to the grocery store: • Plan your meals for the week, using coupons or items that are on sale in the store’s weekly flier. • Go on the computer to check manufacturers’ websites for online coupons, especially on the most expensive name brands you use. • Try a meat-free meal once a week, because meat tends to cost the most. • Buy meat in bulk, especially when on sale. Freeze in portions

Hints from Heloise Columnist you can use for later meals. • Be sure to stock up on items you use all the time when you find them on sale (if they can be frozen or you have space in the pantry for them). • Share a warehouse membership with a friend. Split the cost of items you can both use. • Never shop on an empty

stomach. That’s how you end up with purchases that you don’t need! — Heloise SMOKED PAPRIKA Dear Heloise: I am often tempted to buy smoked paprika when I see it in the store. However, I am really not sure how to use it. Do you know anything about this spice? — Carly F., via email Smoked paprika is made from sweet, red bell peppers. The peppers are smoked over wood to create a smoky flavor before being ground up. It’s much more flavorful than plain paprika, so you won’t need to use so much in your cooking. Add it to any egg or meat dish,

or even rice or potatoes. — Heloise REMOVING FAT Dear Heloise: I used to have a fat separator, but it cracked and had to be thrown out. Before I could purchase a new one, I made homemade gravy one night, forgetting that I no longer had the separator. No problem, though. I just let the pan drippings sit a few minutes in a cup until the fat rose to the top. I then used my turkey baster to collect the fat and place it in a can, to be disposed of later. This worked so well that I may do without a fat separator in the future! — Melanie D., via email

HOROSCOPE

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, July 4, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might daydream a lot today. This is a poor day for important decisions with siblings, relatives and neighbors because it's hard to focus. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Avoid important financial decisions today because you are guided more by dreamy wishes than reality. Be especially careful about buying something luxurious. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You're in a dreamy state of mind today, which means illusions almost become more important than reality. However, you're also sensitive and quite psychic today. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today, subconscious influences are strong with you, which is why your views might be distorted. Because of this, postpone important decisions and be careful what you say. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might feel sympathetic to the needs of a friend today. You might even want to join efforts with others in a charitable way to help someone in need. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might confuse authority figures today, or vice versa, you might be confused by them. This is a poor day for people to express themselves clearly. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your appreciation of beauty is heightened, which is why you will enjoy beautiful surroundings, architectural buildings, art galleries and museums. Treat yourself to something. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances, taxes, debt and how to handle shared property. You are seeing what you want rather than what is truly the case. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don't let anyone trick you into taking a guilt trip today, which is possible. Someone might be confused and drag you into his or her world of unreality, especially if you want to lay blame. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Just continue with routine work on the job today and avoid new ventures and important decisions. People are subtly confused today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This can be a creative day for you, especially if you work in the arts or if you are an artist. Your imagination is heightened and your ability to visualize is excellent. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might be sympathetic to a family member today, but be leery of crocodile tears. Make sure what you're dealing with is real and not just someone's personal drama. YOU BORN TODAY You're interested in others and whatever they're doing, which is why many of you are involved with groups. Personally, you aspire to leave your mark in the world. You are faithful to loved ones and value your family roots. You often work in isolation for long periods of time on certain projects. Good news! This will be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big! Birthdate of: George Steinbrenner, MLB owner; Rube Goldberg, cartoonist; Becki Newton, actress.

ADVERTISING

Landing a Job in a Digital Era W

ith people updating their social networking pages from their PDAs and downloading favorite tunes from their mobile phones, it should come as no surprise society has grown increasingly reliant on technology. Individuals about to dive into the job-seeking market may have to rethink their search skills to maximize the potential of reaching employers and companies that likely embrace a digital mind set. As of June 2009, the U.S. unemployment rate reached 9.7 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.This means there are a great deal of people — from the recently laid off to the newly graduated — who are all vying for the same jobs. Thinking creatively and exploring numerous ways of advertising oneself can help land a job in today’s market. Newspaper: The newspaper has long been a respected and effective means to find work. It is still a viable way to find jobs that are local without having to search through hundreds and hundreds of positions, which is common with online job posting sites. However, why not turn the tables and use the newspaper — and its respective online site — to advertise yourself? For a relatively low investment of time and money, you can place a classified ad that you are seeking work and briefly explain your credentials. Create a separate, free e-mail address with your favorite mail provider specifically for receiving inquiries to this advertisement. Personal Web site: Employers are short on time and many want to exert the least amount of energy possible when seeking job candidates. A personal Web page can put your information in the hands of employers in a concise and eye-catching way.The Web page can feature a brief description of yourself and also include a digital resume. Simply provide a link to your site when applying for a job. Remember, a personal Web site should be all business. Now is not the time for a pretty picture or stories about your pets. Employers are looking for skills. Be bold with buzzwords: Turn your experience into a list of buzzwords, keywords and important phrases when writing a resume. It used to be that verbs were the key to landing a job. Using strong action words should relay your experience. However, today resumes are frequently reviewed by a digital eye, rather than a human eye. This digital eye is programmed to recognize certain words and phrases that will sort your resume out from the others. Including the right keywords ensures your resume has a better chance of being picked. Use as many words as you can that were included in the original job posting — they’re likely to be programmed keywords. Most of these words are nouns that signal job titles, technical skills and levels of education or experience. Use social networking sites to your advantage: Employers and recruiters have admitted they frequently go to social networking sites, such as MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn to “check up” on potential hires — or even employees they already have on staff. Many a person has compromised his or her chances for hire by questionable material posted on their pages. Instead of being a victim of the pitfalls of social networking, use it to your advantage. Seed your pages with information that may be interesting to a potential employer by doing a little research. For example, if you know a certain company to which you’d like to apply places significant emphasis on the environment, list the “green” functions you’ve attended and the groups to which you

Know a hiring manager is an avid golfer? Talk about your passion for the game. It’s these little things that may get you in the door to an interview. Think differently: There are some people who want to take their job search to another level.With the market saturated by job seekers, sometimes it’s the person who has the nerve to stand out from the crowd that will land the job. Today it’s not uncommon to find door-todoor solicitation of jobs, people posting job requests on YouTube or similar sites, or even standing in a busy downtown area with a sign that says, “Looking for Work.” Others turn to popular blogs to get the word out. The more people who know you’re looking for work, the better chance you will find a position. Technology is technology: There are certain tips you should keep in mind when applying for jobs: - Scanners that look at resumes work well with these typefaces: Helvetica, Courier, Futura, Optima, Palatino, New Century Schoolbook, and Times. And they work best with type sizes in the 10to 14-point range. - Don’t send your resume as an attachment, or include any attachments, unless specified. There are always concerns about computer viruses and attachments can even get lost. Paste everything into the body of your e-mail. - Use the subject line of an e-mail as a theater marquee and sell yourself. - Use the proofreading/spell-check functions of your word processing software, but also print out your materials and read them over. There’s no excuse to be excluded from a job because of a silly typo. - Follow-up with all job applications. It could move your resume to the top of the pile.

No major champs left in women’s semis LONDON (AP) — Trailing 5-4 in her first Wimbledon quarterfinal, Sloane Stephens already had saved two set points and was about to serve at deuce when a fairly nondescript match became anything but. Raindrops were falling and Stephens’ opponent, 2007 runnerup Marion Bartoli, was trying to persuade a tournament official the Court 1 grass was dangerously slick. Spectators were booing and derisively whistling, angry at the prospect of play being suspended. Eventually, Bartoli got her way. They stopped. The court was covered. For the ensuing 2 hours, no points were played. When they returned, Stephens, the last U.S. singles player at the All England Club this year, was completely out

of sorts. Soon, she was out of the field, dropping a hard-to-believe 19 of her first 20 service points after the rain delay and losing 6-4, 7-5 Tuesday to France’s Bartoli, one member of an altogether surprising semifinal quartet. “I was like, ‘Wow, my serve is not happening right now.’ I tried a couple different things to kind of get it going. It just never really happened for me,” said Stephens, who won the first four games she served, then lost six of seven the rest of the way. “So as I was playing, I was like, ‘OK. This is not good.’” The initial point when play AP PHOTO resumed ended with Stephens Kirsten Flipkens reacts after defeating Petra Kvitova in the pushing a backhand long, giving women’s singles quarterfinal match Tuesday at the All Bartoli her third set point.

Rodriguez hitless in debut Yankees’ star opens with Class-A stint

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey throws against the San Francisco Giants in the first inning of a baseball game Tuesday in Cincinnati.

Twice as nice Bailey twirls 2nd no-hitter in Reds’ win CINCINNATI (AP) — Homer Bailey threw his second no-hitter in 10 months and the first in the majors this season, pitching the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-0 victory over the slumping San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. Bailey (5-6) became the third Reds pitcher with more than one no-hitter, joining Jim Maloney and Johnny Vander Meer still the only big leaguer to toss two in a row. Bailey beat the Pirates 1-0 in Pittsburgh last Sept. 28 and got another 17 starts later. “Every dog has its day twice, I guess,” Bailey said. “It felt good to do it front of the Cincinnati fans.” The last pitcher to throw one no-hitter and then another before anyone else in the majors accomplished the feat was Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, according to STATS. Baseball’s career strikeout king did it for the California Angels on Sept. 28, 1974, against Minnesota, and June 1, 1975, vs.

Baltimore. Bailey grew up in Texas, just like Ryan, and wears No. 34 in tribute to his boyhood idol. Justin Verlander, Mark Buehrle and Roy Halladay are the only other active pitchers with a pair of no-hitters. Halladay, of course, threw one of his in the postseason. Bailey walked Gregor Blanco leading off the seventh, the only Giants batter to reach base. First baseman Joey Votto alertly threw out Blanco as he tried to advance from second to third on a soft onehopper that otherwise could have become an infield single for Buster Posey. “Joey had a great heads-up play. I was almost a little late getting to the bag,” Bailey said. With 27,509 fans on their feet chanting “Homer! Homer!” Bailey finished it off in the ninth. He jumped to glove Brandon Crawford’s high comebacker,

struck out Tony Abreu and retired Blanco on a grounder to third baseman Todd Frazier. “Going into the eighth and ninth I just said, ‘Why the hell not?’ Here we go again,” Bailey said. When Votto caught the throw for the final out, Bailey raised both arms in triumph, reminiscent of that grand moment in Pittsburgh last September, then hugged catcher Ryan Hanigan. Teammates poured onto the field to celebrate and doused Bailey with a red sports drink. It was the 16th no-hitter in Cincinnati history. No Reds pitcher had thrown a no-no at home since Tom Browning’s 1-0 perfect game against the Dodgers at Riverfront Stadium on Sept. 16, 1988. Bailey became the third pitcher in the history of baseball’s first professional franchise to get more than one.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Alex Rodriguez figures he’ll need all 20 days of rehabilitation games to prepare for his return to the New York Yankees. He showed why Tuesday night. The rusty third baseman went hitless in two at-bats for the Charleston RiverDogs in his first game since left hip surgery in January. Rodriguez played three innings at third base for the Yankees Class-A affiliate and came out after he took a called strike three to end the third inning. He also grounded into a double play in the first. “Look, I am as curious as you guys are to see how I am going to react. It’s been a while since I was in competition,” he said before the game. Rodriguez was tested quickly in the field when Rome’s Kyle Wren opened the game with a bunt single to third. Rodriguez charged strongly and fielded it with his bare hand, but could not throw to first on time. Rome shortstop Jose Peraza also bunted down the third base line in the second inning, but Rodriguez was too far back to make a play. The three-time AL MVP has been working out at the Yankees’ minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., since May. He looked healthy and enthusiastic to begin his season. His swing in the batting cage was the same simple flick that’s helped him to 647 career home runs. He took grounders at third next to Yankees teammate Eduardo Nunez, who’s recovering from a left oblique strain. Nunez played shortstop and went 2 for 3. Rodriguez and Nunez enjoyed lunch Tuesday before arriving at the ballpark. “It’s my first time” in South Carolina, Rodriguez said. “Great Southern hospitality so far.” Players from the RiverDogs and the Rome Braves lined the dugouts to watch Rodriguez work. It’s the third straight season Rodriguez has spent time in the minors coming back from injuries. Rodriguez has 20 days to rehab or the Yankees would have to put him back on the disabled list. Will he be back with the big club this season? “We’re scheduled for that 20 days from now,” he said.

Before arrest, Hernandez had brushes with violence Gerrans the new leader at Tour Simon Gerrans started cycling because another Australian, who first wore a Tour de France yellow jersey, lent him a bike to help him recover from an injury. Now Gerrans is wearing a Tour leader’s jersey of his own. See Page 14.

Troy Junior Baseball scores featured on page 15

BOSTON (AP) — As former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez sits in a private cell for his protection, a portrait is emerging of a man whose life away from the field included brushes with violence that started as long ago as his freshman year at the University of Florida. Details of a series of altercations and gun incidents linked to the Pro Bowler have surfaced since Hernandez was arrested June 26 in the death of a semipro football player who was dating the sister of his fiancee.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in the shooting death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, whose body was found June 17 about a mile from the defendant’s mansion in North Attleborough, Mass. The athlete’s defense team has called the district attorney’s case circumstantial and has said Hernandez looks forward to clearing his name. But even before the 23-yearold’s murder recent arrest, public records and interviews show he was no stranger to talking to

police, first in Florida and then in the Boston area. A sworn court complaint from Florida’s Eighth Judicial Circuit details Hernandez’s apparent involvement in a May 2007 fight at a restaurant called The Swamp in Gainesville, Fla. The partially redacted document says the waiter told police that Hernandez, who was then 17, punched him in the head while he was escorting the subject out of the business after a dispute about an alleged non-payment of a bill.

The waiter suffered a burst eardrum in the altercation. Tim Tebow, now a member of the Patriots and at the time Florida’s star quarterback, is listed as a witness on report, which classifies the offense as “felony battery.” It wasn’t clear Tuesday how the case was settled. It said Tebow’s involvement came after Hernandez called him over to try to intervene in a verbal altercation before the

USOC pres. nominated for IOC L A U S A N N E , Switzerland (AP) — The head of the U.S. Olympic Committee was nominated for membership of the IOC on Tuesday, a big boost for U.S. efforts to regain influence on the international Olympic stage. In the latest sign of improved ties between the two bodies, USOC President Larry Probst was among nine candidates put forward for election to the International Olympic Committee. The president of the Russian Olympic

Committee, Alexander Zhukov, was also nominated. The list also included former Olympic high jump champion Stefan Holm of Sweden and Kenyan distance running great Paul Tergat. The nominees were approved by the IOC executive board ahead of a two-day meeting featuring presentations by the three cities bidding for the 2020 Olympics and the six candidates for IOC president. “I am truly honored to be nominated for membership in the IOC, and

extremely grateful for the potential opportunity to serve the Olympic Movement,” Probst said. The nominees for IOC membership will be up for election usually a formality at the full general assembly in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Sept. 10. Probst, chairman of video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc., is in line to become the fourth U.S. member on the IOC, joining Anita DeFrantz, Jim Easton and Angela Ruggiero. “It would be fair to say the U.S. is a very strong

important partner of the IOC,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams said. “Larry’s nomination is a sign of that and a good sign of the continuing very strong cooperation we have with the USOC.” Also nominated Tuesday were KLM executive Camiel Eurlings of the Netherlands, Mikaela Maria Antonia CojuangcoJaworski of the Philippines, Bernard Rajzman of Brazil, Octavian Morariu of Romania and Dagmawit Girmay Berhane of Ethiopia.

New leader at Tour Gerrans wearing yellow jersey after 4th stage NICE, France (AP) — Simon Gerrans started cycling because another Australian, who first wore a Tour de France yellow jersey, lent him a bike to help him recover from an injury. Now Gerrans is wearing a Tour leader’s jersey of his own. He was part of the Orica Greenedge squad that won the team time trial by less than 1 second Tuesday in the fourth stage, putting him in the overall lead. One day in yellow doesn’t place him in the category of his famous countrymen Phil Anderson, the first Aussie to wear the coveted jersey in 1981, or Cadel Evans, the 2011 Tour winner. But the 33-year-old Gerrans is still proud of his accomplishment after Anderson introduced him to the sport. “Phil was the first Australian to wear the yellow jersey and now to be the latest Australian to wear the yellow jersey, it’s a very special feeling,” he said. Considered an outsider to win the 15.5-mile dash along the streets of the southern seaport of Nice, Orica edged pacesetter Omega Pharma-Quickstep by 0.75 seconds and finished in 25 minutes, 56 seconds. The top four teams finishing within 10 seconds of each other. Gerrans, who won stage 3 in a sprint finish, took the overall lead from rider Jan Belgian Bakelants. Chris Froome of Sky team is 3 seconds behind Gerrans for the overall lead, while two-time Tour champion Contador is 6 seconds behind Froome. Gerrans said Anderson was his first coach and “lent me a bike to get started in competitive cycling” as a “form of rehabilitation because of some knee injuries I sustained while racing motorbikes.” Gerrans, who is not a contender for overall victory, hopes to keep the jersey for “a couple more days.” The next two stages are mostly flat, so he may well be able to protect his lead if there are no crashes or he gets another stage win like he did on Monday. The Orica riders formed a circle and then hugged

Simon Gerrans, of Australia, wearing the overall leader’s yellow jersey, celebrates on the podium of the fourth stage of the Tour de France cycling race Tuesday, a team time-trial over 25 kilometers (15.6 miles) with start and finish in Nice, southern France. and slapped each other on the back when they were sure of the win. “It’s certainly been a very, very big two days,” said team sporting director Matt White. “Most teams are judged very much by how they perform here at the Tour de France.” Race favorite Froome’s Sky team finished third, 3 seconds off the pace, while rival Contador’s SaxoTinkoff finished 9 seconds back. “We’ll take that result,” Sky team boss Dave Brailsford said. “The boys pulled together.” The peloton returned to mainland France after three stages in the searing heat and sinewy climbs of Corsica. Under sunny blue skies, the teams set off at 4-

minute intervals and the overall team standings were reversed, meaning the first team to go was Argos-Shimano and the last was RadioShack. Argos-Shimano, including Marcel Kittel the German who won the Tour’s hectic first stage finished last, nearly 2 minutes off the pace. Omega set a ferociously quick time despite the fact their best rider Tony Martin was carrying the scars from his fall on stage 1. Garmin-Sharp, convincing winners of the team time trial when it was last held two years ago, had high hopes of placing veteran David Millar in the yellow jersey. But they finished in sixth place, 17 seconds behind Orica. “I wasn’t in good form

today but the team was very, very strong,” the 36year-old said. “I think it was me who was missing the seconds.” Martin was unconscious in the team bus after his fall and taken to a hospital for injuries that included bruising of the lung. Thomas rode with a fractured pelvis. “Unbelievable,” Brailsford said, praising Thomas. “Real courage.” It was a tough day for Evans, with his BMC team placed ninth, placing him 23 seconds behind Froome and 17 behind Contador. “It wasn’t a good operation. In 2007 I lost the GC (overall standings) by 23 seconds, so it’s a lot,” Evans said. “I’m a little bit disappointed.” This day belonged to another Australian.

first time in the 45-year Open era that no previous major champion reached the women’s semifinals at the All England Club. “Very unexpected,” Bartoli said, summing up this crop of semifinalists and this entire tournament, “but that’s also the magic of it.” On Thursday, Bartoli faces Flipkens, and Radwanska faces Lisicki. Bartoli is the only one who hasn’t lost a set and she’s also the only one who hasn’t faced a past major champion. Lisicki beat three along the way, most stunningly 16-time Grand Slam titlist

Serena Williams in the fourth round Monday, then followed that by eliminating 46th-ranked Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 6-3, 6-3 in the quarterfinals. Flipkens, who missed two months last season because of blood clots in her leg, continued her climb back from outside the top 250 in the rankings by winning her first major quarterfinal, 4-6, 63, 6-4 over 2011 Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova. Radwanska, who lost last year’s Wimbledon final to Williams, got past 2011 French Open champion Li Na 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-2.

Wimbledon ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 lasted 27 strokes, with Bartoli hitting a drop shot and Stephens responding with a forehand that caught the net tape and bounced wide. Just like that, the opening set was gone. Stephens, a 20-year-old based in Coral Springs, Fla., never recovered. After Bartoli went up 1-0 in the second set, part of a 10-point run, fans jeered her, and she put her hands near her ears. “Honestly,” she said with a smile later, “it didn’t matter much to me.” Asked whether Bartoli was employing games-

manship by pushing for a delay at such a crucial moment, the 17th-seeded Stephens shrugged her shoulders and replied: “I don’t know. I don’t know. Who knows?” The 15th-seeded Bartoli who grips her racket with two hands off both wings, like her idol, Monica Seles is seeking her first Grand Slam title. So are the other women left at the least predictable Wimbledon in memory: fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, 20th-seeded Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium, and 23rd-seeded Sabine Lisicki of Germany. It’s the

The good news for LPGA Tour commissioner Mike Whan is that his sport is dominating the golf conversation, which is rare. For the last two days, it seems like every time Whan turns on TV is he hearing about Inbee Park, and that’s how it should be. When she completed a masterful week of putting and precision at Sebonack Golf Club, the 24-year-old South Korean had won the U.S. Women’s Open for her third straight major this year. Next up is a chance for Park to do what no golfer has done in the history of the royal and ancient game win four professional majors in a single season. Adding to the moment is the venue the Women’s British Open will be at St. Andrews, the home of golf. Any other year, the golf world would be buzzing over the prospect of a Grand Slam. But not this one. Because for such an historic occasion, there is way too much confusion. It was Whan who decided for noble reasons in 2010 to elevate The Evian Championship in France to major championship status starting in 2013, giving the LPGA Tour five majors for the first time in its 63-year history. Just his luck, it turned out to be the year one of his players had a shot at the Grand Slam. Except that winning four majors is not really a Grand Slam when there are five on the schedule. Is it? “If you would have asked me as a golf nut about five majors, I would have said, ‘It doesn’t feel right to me,’” Whan said Tuesday morning. “Then you become commissioner of the LPGA Tour. Do you or don’t you? If you don’t … your job here is to grow the opportunities for women in the game worldwide. We don’t get the exposure anywhere near the men’s game except for three or four times a year, and those are around the majors. “Jump forward to 2013,” he said. “The fact I can turn on the TV every night and the discussion is on the LPGA and five majors and what does this mean … the world views this as frustrating. In my own silly world, this is the most attention we’ve had in a long time.” Golf always has been about four majors, at least it seems that way. It dates to 1930 when Bobby Jones swept the biggest championships of his era the British Open, British Amateur, U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur. George Trevor of the New York Sun referred to this feat as the “impregnable quadrilateral” of golf, while O.B. Keeler of the Atlanta Journal gave it a name that didn’t require a stiff upper lip. He called it a Grand Slam, a

term from contract bridge that meant winning all 13 tricks. The spirit of that term is a clean sweep, whether it’s four, five or 13. Arnold Palmer gets credit for creating the modern version of the Grand Slam in 1960 when he won the Masters and U.S. Open and was on his way to play the British Open for the first time. He was traveling with Pittsburgh sports writer Bob Drum, who was lamenting that professional golf had led to the demise of what Jones had achieved in 1930. That’s when Palmer suggested a new Grand Slam by winning the four professional majors. Comparisons between men’s and women’s golf are never easy, especially in the majors. The PGA Tour and European Tour don’t own any of the four majors that its players have made famous. The press never bought into the notion of making The Players Championship a fifth major. It was Thomas Bonk of The Los Angeles Times who once wrote that there were “Three Stooges, Twelve Days of Christmas, Seven Dwarfs and four major championships.” Enough said. The LPGA Tour now has eight majors in its official history, including the du Maurier Classic, the Titleholders and the Western Open. Babe Zaharias is the last player to win three straight majors on the calendar, but that was in 1950 when that’s all there were. There was a five-year stretch in the 1970s when there were only two LPGA majors. And now there are five? Women’s golf is not as steeped in tradition. More importantly, its pockets have never been very deep. That’s why the LPGA Championship, which dates to 1955, essentially took over what had been a regular tour event in Rochester, N.Y. The PGA of America doesn’t have a women’s version of a major because, among other reasons, the LPGA Tour has its own teaching and club professional division. Tradition is the Kraft Nabisco, the only major played on the same course (Rancho Mirage) where the winner jumps into the pond. But it was a regular LPGA Tour event for 11 years before it was designated a major. The Women’s British Open was first played in 1976, became part of the LPGA schedule in 1994 and did not become a major until 2001. And now the LPGA has The Evian Championship, which only started in 2000 and now is supposed to be a major, right up there with the U.S. Women’s Open. Oddly enough, Park is the defending champion. The field will be similar. The course is the same. And now it’s a major.

Djokovic, Murray head cast in quarters LONDON (AP) — No. 1seeded Novak Djokovic and No. 2 Andy Murray have yet to lose a set, let alone a match, so far at Wimbledon. The way things have been going at the All England Club this fortnight, that’s quite an accomplishment. Rafael Nadal, a 12-time Grand Slam champion, was beaten in the first round. Roger Federer, owner of a record 17 major titles, went out in the second, as did fourtime major champ Maria Sharapova. Five-time Wimbledon winner Serena Williams’ 34-match winning streak ended in the fourth round. And on and on it’s gone, with no top-20 player other than Murray left on his side of the draw, and a recordequaling number of withdrawals or mid-match retirements because of health problems. “Everyone was a bit on edge, a little bit uptight,” reigning U.S. Open champion Murray acknowledged, “because of what was happening with the injuries, withdrawals, upsets and stuff.” He and Djokovic have made it all look so routine, though, heading into the men’s quarterfinals today. On the top half of the bracket, Djokovic a six-time Grand Slam titlist and the only remaining past Wimbledon winner will face No. 7 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, the 2010 runner-up. No. 4 David Ferrer of Spain plays No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, the 2009 U.S. Open champion and the third man who hasn’t dropped a set through four matches. On the bottom half, it will be Murray against 54thranked Fernando Verdasco of Spain, and No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz against his Davis Cup teammate and pal, 130th-ranked Lukasz Kubot, in a match between the first two Polish men to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal since 1980.

Hernandez ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 assault. Also in 2007, the Orlando Sentinel reported Hernandez was among three Florida football players and another who had gone on to the NFL that police in Gainesville questioned after a double shooting that happened after the team lost a game in 2007. The paper reported Hernandez’s mother confirmed he was among those questioned but police at the time said none of the players were suspects. Hernandez declined comment at the time, the paper reported. Although Hernandez is facing a murder charge, his troubles may not end there. Police in Hernandez’s hometown of Bristol, Conn., said Tuesday that Boston police have asked for their help with a double homicide investigation linked to the former NFL star. Bristol Police Lt. Kevin Morrell said the request from Boston police in the July 2012 double homicide was based on evidence developed through the investigation of Lloyd’s slaying. He said police were asked to search the same home in Bristol for both investigations, and they seized a vehicle at the address Friday. Two men died in the shooting in Boston’s South End on July 15, 2012 and another was wounded. Witnesses reported seeing gunfire coming from a gray SUV with Rhode Island plates that was aimed at a vehicle carrying the victims, 29-year-old Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and 28year-old Safiro Teixeira Furtado. Boston police have declined to comment on whether Hernandez is being looked as a possible suspect in that case from last summer.

Fourth of July

Fireworks Safety There are nearly 9,000 emergency room-treated injuries associated with fireworks a year, according to the U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission. You can enjoy these Fourth of July staples safely by doing the following: • Never give fireworks to small children, and always follow the instructions. • Keep a supply of water close-by as a precaution. • Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection. • Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight “a dud.” • Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. • Never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials.

Water Safety The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim. The Red Cross has swimming courses for people of any age and swimming ability. To find out where lessons are offered or to enroll in a CPR/ AED or first aid course, contact your local Red Cross chapter. • Swim in a supervised, marked area with a lifeguard present, and swim with others. Never swim alone. • Enter the water feet first. • Adults should never leave a child unobserved around water. • Take frequent breaks (about once an hour) where everyone gets out. • Watch out for the “dangerous too’s “too tired, too cold, too far from safety, too much sun, too much strenuous activity.
