Run for Recovery set for Saturday Proceeds earmarked for outpatient services, activities

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

Chris Young to make Country Concert debut

Every day can be a battle for those who struggle with substance abuse, but the Miami County Recovery Council is there to help every step of the way.

Celebrating its fifth year, the annual Run for Recovery 5K — set

for 9 a.m. Saturday at Duke Park — brings local runners and supporters together to raise money and help point people in need of assistance toward the path of recovery.

Thom Grim, director of MCRC, said the funds raised at the 5K will go to outpatient services and activities.

“This event receives a great

MIAMI COUNTY deal of community support,” Grim said. “People can can come walk it, run it and have a good time.”

Grim said more than 150 have pre-registered for the 5K, and said he hopes to have more than 200 runners/walkers register for the event this year.

Registration is $20 and can be made on the Miami County Recovery Council website at mcrcinc.org or speedy-feet.com.

Day-of registration begins at 8 a.m.

Run for Recovery also includes a free “fun run” to make it a family friendly event.

Grim said the Run for Recovery 5K is a lot like a community picnic

Chris Young has been fortunate to get up and sing at venues around the globe, but it’s extra special when he’s able to visit someplace new.

He’ll add Fort Loramie to his resume July 13 when he makes his Country Concert debut.

“There aren’t many that we haven’t played, but it’s going to be exciting for me and my band (to play in Fort Loramie),” Young said during a recent phone interview with the Troy Daily News. “We play a pretty fun show. My whole thing is to get the crowd into it and have a good time.” See Page 7.

arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters,” Meehan said.

The delicate diplomacy highlights difficult policy choices for the administration: Denounce the ouster of Morsi outright, and the U.S. could be accused of propping up a ruler who’s lost the public’s support. It’s a prospect with eerie echoes of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, whom the U.S. supported for decades before the 2011 revolution that cleared the path to power for Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood.

Look the other way, and the U.S. could be accused of fomenting

A formal opinion about the recent sidewalk chalkings was issued by the city’s law director, in response to comments from residents at council meetings urging the city to take a more vocal stance. The letter was sent by Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington to Troy council members, among others, including Troy Main Street Executive Director Karin Manovich, who was asked to forward it to businesses.

Troy Law Director Jim Livingston’s letter echoed his comments at the July 1 council meeting, in which he said the city could not exercise any prior restraint on the content of the messages.

“As I told council,” Livingston stated in the letter, “it is my opinion that by writing those messages on the public sidewalks, to which many object, the group violates no provision of Troy’s codified ordinances or of the Ohio Revised Code. I based that upon the fact that the messages themselves are temporary in nature, do no permanent damage to the sidewalks, and can be removed with minimum effort and at almost no cost. Further, the city has allowed others to create chalk writings without fear of prosecution.”

Livingston added that the city cannot single out a particular group based on the message’s content, in the same manner that the city’s enforcement of the sign code cannot be contingent on the sign’s content.

Prohibiting chalking or requiring a permit poses problems as well, he wrote.

“If council went the prohibition route, the prohibition would include the chalking that the city has been allowing and if it went the permit route, then anyone who applied and paid the permit fee would be issued one because the city could not deny the permit because of the message the applicant proposed to chalk onto the sidewalk,” the letter stated.

“The city could certainly ban all chalk writings; however the city must be prepared to enforce this ban on all chalk writings, not just on messages that some deem offensive.”’

The series of calls by Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and national security adviser Susan Rice went to officials from Egypt, Israel, Qatar, Turkey and Norway.

with a race in the middle of it.

“We cook out, we grill burgers and hot dogs and everybody just has a great time for a great cause,” Grim said.

Post-race refreshments include bagels from Panera and hot dogs and hamburgers courtesy of Miami County FOP Lodge 58.

Grim hopes to raise $10,000 for the Miami County Recovery Council, noting last year’s race participation was down due to those who were affected by the summer storm days before the event.

A typical day at Miami County Recovery Council usually entails psychiatric sessions for up to 25 people by parttime medical professionals.

“Our outpatient services provide services on a sliding scale,” Grim said.

“Money from this 5K and other fundraisers like our first-ever quarter auction this year helps with our outpatient services for those in need.”

The nonprofit addiction and mental-health agency has offered services to residents of Miami, Shelby and Darke counties suffering from alcohol- or drug-related problems since 1976.

This year’s Run for Recovery has 17 corporate sponsors and 18 community sponsors.

The more than 50 door prizes, race medals and awards will be passed out after the race.

Medals will be awarded to top 3 finishers in each age group and plaques to overall male and female winners.

dissent or lose credibility on its commitment to the democratic process.

The administration is acting as if it accepts what happened in Egypt and actually believes it could turn out for the best with the Islamist Morsi no longer in charge. At the same time, officials are attempting to keep their distance, laying down markers for what they want to see in the long term while leaving it up to the military to make sure that happens.

But the White House may also be concerned that in the short term, the situation could spiral out of hand, with the military using the clamoring in the streets as an excuse to confront the Muslim Brotherhood with excessive force. In bringing up U.S. aid in conversations with Egyptians without cutting it off, the U.S. leaves itself room to escalate the situation if need be, but also to work with Egypt’s new government if it moves in the right direction.

After Morsi was forcibly removed from office, Obama said the U.S. would “not support particular individuals or political parties,” acknowledging the “legitimate grievances of the Egyptian people” while also observing that Morsi, an Islamist, won his office in a legitimate election.

“We believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people,” Obama said in a statement late Wednesday.

“Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian armed forces to remove President Morsi and suspend the Egyptian constitution.”

He notably stopped short of labeling Morsi’s ouster a coup, leaving

But Obama did say he was ordering the government to assess what the developments portended for aid to Cairo.

The U.S. considers the $1.5 billion a year it sends Egypt to be a critical U.S. national security priority.

“I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters,”

Obama said. military Egyptian leaders have assured the Obama administration that they were not interested in long-term rule following their toppling of Morsi. On Thursday, the supreme justice of Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, was sworn in as interim president.

On his other request that the military not arbitrarily arrest Morsi or aides Obama appeared to have less success. Shortly after Obama issued his statement, a Muslim Brotherhood spokesman said Morsi and at least a dozen presidential aides had been placed under house arrest.

Morsi, meanwhile, denounced his ouster as a “full coup.”

In portions of a CNN interview broadcast Wednesday night, the chairman of the U.S. military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, said Washington has received assurances from the Egyptian military that U.S. citizens there would be protected.

As American cities were making final preparations for Fourth of July celebrations, fireworks erupted Wednesday night over Cairo’s Tahrir square upon news the military had suspended the Islamist-drafted constitution and called for new elections.

The mood was less jubilant at the State Department, where officials concerned about the threat of further unrest ordered all nonessential U.S. diplomats and the families of all American Embassy personnel to leave Egypt.

Although initially encouraged by Morsi’s promise to abide by Egypt’s 1979 peace treaty with Israel and his role in a truce brokered between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers in November, the U.S. grew more skeptical about Morsi as opponents complained in louder and louder voices that his promises to enact democratic reforms were going unmet.

Secretary of State John Kerry warned in April that Egypt might be backsliding in its transition to democracy, citing arrests, street violence and the government’s inability to embrace its opposition.

Despite the odd optics that supporting an expulsion-by-force of a democratically elected leader would entail, the State appeared Department Wednesday to be laying the groundwork for a tacit acceptance of the military’s move.

The State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki refused to criticize Egypt’s military over the ultimatum it gave Morsi.

But she did say the U.S. was disappointed with a speech Morsi gave the

night after previous Obama urged him to present plans to address the opposition’s concerns.

“Last night was an opportunity for him to propose new steps, which he … did not,” Psaki said.

There were early signs that if Obama accepts the military’s actions, he won’t be without support on Capitol Hill. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Republican, said Egyptians had made clear they believe Morsi threatens the type of democracy they aspired to in their 2011 revolution.

“As President Obama has said, democracy is about more than elections,” Cantor said. “The Egyptian military has long been a key partner of the United States and a stabilizing force in the region, and is perhaps the only trusted national institution in Egypt today.”

But other lawmakers were already asserting that Egypt’s military had triggered a provision in U.S. law that requires aid to be suspended if a military deposes a democratically elected government.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, who heads the Appropriations panel that oversees foreign aid, said he hoped Egypt’s military would make good on its vow to return power to the people, but that in the meantime, U.S. law was clear about what should happen.

Outreach has been chalking downtown sidewalks with pro-life messages including “Abortion is never a necessary evil,” “Choose Life” and “Equal rights for pre-born people!”

At the June 17 and July 1 council meetings, residents and downtown merchants complained that the writings are unsightly to the downtown area and

requested that the city mandate a permit for sidewalk chalkings, among other actions to address the messages. However, resident J.D. Winteregg spoke on behalf of five other residents at the latter meeting, urging the city not to impose regulations, as “a community built on healthy discourse is a strong community.”

ANALYSIS

Morsi’s fall a tough blow to Islamists CAIRO (AP) — Egypt was the centerpiece of the Islamist movement’s vault to power in the Arab world’s sweeping wave of uprisings.

Winning election after election here, the Islamists vowed to prove they could govern effectively and implement their vision of political Islam, all while embracing the rules of democracy.

Mohammed Morsi was their pillar: the veteran of the Muslim Brotherhood, the region’s oldest and most prestigious political Islamist group, who became Egypt’s first freely elected president.

That is what makes his ouster after barely a year in office, with a gigantic cross-section of Egypt’s population demanding he go, such a devastating blow to Islamists on multiple levels, not only in Egypt but across a tumultuous region.

Morsi, his Brotherhood and their harder-line allies say they played by the rules of democracy, only to be forced out by opponents who could not play it as well as them at the ballot box and so turned to the military for help. The lesson that the Islamists’ extreme fringe may draw: Democracy, which many of them viewed as “kufr” or heresy to begin with, is rigged and violence is the only way to bring their dream of an Islamic state.

But to the millions of Egyptians who marched in the street against Morsi, the Islamists failed at democracy: They overreached.

The protesters became convinced the Islamists were using wins at the polls to centralize power in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood far beyond their mandate and treat the country as if it accepted the “Islamist project.” Even worse, for many of the protesters, the Islamists simply were not fixing Egypt’s multiple and worsening woes.

That is a serious setback for their dreams, calling into doubt the argument by Islamists across the region that political Islam is the remedy to their society’s ills. The damage to their prestige echoes widely, from Gaza where the Hamas rulers who saw in Morsi a strong ally, to Tunisia where a Brotherhood branch holds power, to Libya and Syria where Islamists push for power.

“The Brotherhood in Egypt is now a cautionary tale,” said Michael W. Hanna of the Century Foundation in New York. “Morsi’s abysmal performance during their short tenure is a tale of how not to guide and rule.”

The irony is, the Brotherhood knew the risks going in. After the 2011 fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, the group vowed not to try to dominate parliament and not to run a candidate for president, knowing the backlash if it seemed to be grabbing power or if it led a government that failed to fix a broken Egypt. It went back on each of those promises, every time saying its hand was forced into doing so.

Morsi himself recognized the power of the street as he vowed to be a president for all the people. The day before his formal inauguration on June 30, 2012, he first delivered a symbolic oath of office in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the revolt that overthrew his autocratic predecessor.

“You are the source of power and legitimacy,” he told the crowd.

Nothing stands above “the will of the people. The nation is the source of all power. It grants and withdraws power.”

In the broad range of the political Islam movement from moderates to militants the Brotherhood eventually emerged as the central force arguing that Islamists can be democrats. Their influence drew in harder-line groups to participate at the ballot box.

Ultraconservatives who once refused elections that could potentially bring any law but God’s law took their chance at the polls.

In an impassioned Facebook post just before the army pushed Morsi out Wednesday, one of his top advisers Essam el-Haddad argued that what was happening was irrevocably damaging democracy itself, saying the Brotherhood had been unfairly treated. He insisted history would show the Brotherhood tried to include others in its administration but was shunned.

DOONESBURY

I’ve got a ‘crush’ on latest gaming craze The other evening, I stopped at my parents to visit with my California aunt and my grandmother. All visitors are required to play euchre.

You all remember what a deck of cards looks like, right? And if you are a true Ohioan, you must know how to play the most simple, yet frustrating, card game that involves real people, a half a deck of cards and real strategy?

I honestly think instead of a costly campaign, the governor of Ohio and his opponent should just duke it out in a euchre tournament. I think the winner would gain more respect.

I took over a hand while dad took Shorty out for a walk.

Needless to say, I’m not a good card player.

I am however, pretty good at destroying hard candies.

Last week I stumbled across the latest addictive mobile app, called "Candy Crush Saga."

I had read many Facebook posts from friends noting how the game quickly overtook their free time.

And now I can relate.

This simple premise of the game is to line up three or more

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist "candies" of the same color. The chain reaction of the color coded candy alignment builds points and clears the board after each objective is met. Yet, the player only has so many moves to make each objective like clearing “jelly” or “moving onions and cherries off the board.”

I know, it sounds ridiculous, but these are the things that are keeping me up at night.

When I first got the iPad, I really didn’t get in to all the fad games like Angry Birds. I promised myself I wasn’t going to shell out a few hundred dollars for a device just to chuck birds at pigs.

I vowed to myself that I bought it for educational and current event purposes!

— Fred Inscho Troy

And then, I downloaded this evil game.

I've only been playing Candy Crust Saga for a week, and let me warn you, it's pretty intense.

Like the board game (remember those antique things?) Candy Land, each level you pass moves you along in the Candy World in Candy Crust Saga. I’m on Level 54. So I’m clearing at least six levels a day.

That’s just a drop in the bucket for most players since I’m also not alone in this Candy Crush addiction.

In a recent New York Times blog post, according to AppData, a third-party analytical service, Candy Crush Saga has 45 million monthly active users.

That’s the total population of the country of South Africa. Just sayin.

The game gives you only five lives at a time. If you run out of life, it takes 30 excruciating minutes for each life to be restored.

Or you can beg your Facebook friends for spare lives.

I found that I really know who I will turn to for real life help just through the kindness of my Candy Crush Saga friends. You know, the

people I don’t see in real life because I’m home alone playing on a computer. Thanks friends!

Or you can bypass kindness of friends and buy more lives through the App Store for a mere 99 cents. Trust me, I've been tempted to shell out a buck so I wouldn't have to wait.

Yet, according to the Candy Crush Saga company “King,” only about 30 percent of players pay for the instant gratification.

Chump change. Oh and data found that this game is played 600 million times a day on a mobile device. Wrap your head around that number!

I’m not alone!

All in all, addictive games must be in my blood. The euchre games kept my Grandma Norma Jean up pass 10:30 p.m. on a school night, so you know that’s where my gaming addiction stems from.

And from the time it took me to write this column, I passed three more Candy Crust Saga levels.

Sweet!

MOVIE REVIEWS • “The Lone Ranger” — There’s a limit, it turns out, to how much Johnny Depp and a bucket of makeup can accomplish.

Caribbean.” One would think that a so-costumed Depp careening through the Old West with Buster Keaton aplomb would make “The Lone Ranger,” at worst, entertaining.

But Verbinski’s film, stretching hard to both reinvent an out-of-date brand and breathe new life in the Western with a desperate onslaught of bloated set pieces, is a poor locomotive for Depp’s eccentric theatrics.

For two hours, the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced “Lone Ranger” inflates, subverts and distorts the conventions of the Western until, in an interminable climax set to the William Tell Overture, the big-budget spectacle finally, exhaustingly collapses in a scrap heap of train wreckage.

A talented filmmaker of

great excess, Verbinski’s ricocheting whimsy here runs off the rails.

Flashback-heavy plot mechanics, occasionally grim violence (bullets land in bodies with the loudest of thwacks, a heart gets eaten) and surrealistic comedy add up to a confused tone that seems uncertain exactly how to position Depp’s Tonto in the movie, to say nothing of Armie Hammer’s wayward Lone Ranger.

When Verbinski was last directing and Depp was a cartoon lizard, they crafted a far better Western in “Rango.” PG13 for sequences of intense action and violence, and some suggestive material.

Running time: 149 minutes.

One and a half stars out of four.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Apologize to parents for missing the funeral, then leave it at that Dear Annie: My grandmother died the day before I was scheduled for an important job interview. I'd received notice two weeks prior, and it said there would be no rescheduling of the interview for any reason whatsoever. If I failed to show up, I would be barred from being hired for another year.

I was desperate for work, and when my father called to tell me my grandmother died, I told him I was sorry, but there was no way I could make it to the funeral in the morning, although I did go by his house to see him.

I went to the interview (and was hired) and went to the house right after. Nobody said anything, but I could tell my family was disappointed. Since the funeral, my parents have been angry with me.

I understand this, but work is scarce in my area, and I couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.

Frankly, if I were unemployed, I doubt my parents would give me any money, and it would be foolish to rely on that kind of help anyway. Besides, who wants to have to ask their parents for stuff when they're 35 years old? I needed this job.

I told my parents that my grandmother would rather I secure a job than attend her funeral. But now my relatives are saying nasty things about me behind my back. Was I right to skip the funeral in favor of a job interview? — Downstate Illinois Dear Illinois: We understand why the job interview could not be postponed, especially for a full year. But we also know that your parents are hurt and maybe a bit embarrassed that their child didn't show up for Grandma's funeral. You need to apologize, but without simultaneously justifying and defending your choice. Simply say that you are truly sorry, and you hope they can forgive you.

Then give them time to do that.

Dear Annie: My daughter turned 16 last week. We asked her friends to come to her party, and no one showed up. She was so upset.

My daughter is in a special needs life skills classroom with 12 kids just like her. How can their parents be so cruel? It's so unfair to my child. What can I do about this? — Not So Sweet 16 Party Dear Not So Sweet: It's very possible that these classmates felt uncomfortable attending your daughter's party and lacked the social skills necessary to say so.

Or, if your daughter invited them word-of-mouth, they might have forgotten or the parents were unaware of the time and date. The important thing is your response to your daughter. Please don't turn this into a tragedy or a reason to badmouth her classmates.

Instead, teach your daughter how to graciously cope with these disappointments and move forward.

You might even try to reschedule a party for her over the summer, although you might first get in touch with the parents to be sure there are no additional difficulties.

Dear Annie: This is in response to "Enlightened," who threatened to throw her child's things away if she didn't pick them up. I was a messy daughter growing up, and my mother did exactly that. What she failed to see (and still does not) is that my messy ways, forgetfulness and "laziness" were the result of posttraumatic stress disorder due to years of emotional, sexual and physical abuse.

Parents should be careful with how harshly they judge their children, as they are a result of how they are raised. Yelling, arguing and throwing things in garbage bags often do more harm than good. Look for the root cause.

There may be more going on than meets the eye. Perhaps she's being bullied at school or is stressed about grades. No one enjoys being messy. It makes our lives more difficult, as well. — Shell-Shocked Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Simple prewash formula saves time and money Dear Heloise: I remember that you had a simple pre-wash spray recipe. I can’t seem to find my copy. Could you please reprint it? — Haddie in Chicago You bet I will, and this will save you from spending money on commercial products. It is a really easy solution that you can mix up for just pennies. Mix equal parts water, household ammonia and dishwashing liquid. For example, combine 1 cup, 1 cup and 1 cup.

Make sure to use dishwashing, NOT dishwasher, liquid. Mix well, and put into a clearly labeled spray bottle. Wash clothes immediately after using this solution.

Do not let it sit.

Do keep it out of the reach of

Hints from Heloise Columnist children and pets. Have other laundry problems you need answers to? I have put all of my stain solutions into one handy pamphlet, Heloise’s Handy Stain Guide for Clothing. To order, send $5 with a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-

5001. Did you leave your clothes in the dryer too long? To remove wrinkles, place a damp towel in with the load, and restart the cycle for 15 minutes. — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: One reader wrote that when she buys a new curling iron or blow-dryer, she takes the old one on a trip and leaves the new one at home. She makes a valid point, but I do just the opposite.

I take the new one with me to ensure that the appliance works while traveling, where it may be harder to find a replacement, especially in foreign countries.

Also, you may have time restraints when on tour. I leave

the old one at home because if it dies there, I can replace it. — Ann in California FITTED SHEET Dear Heloise: Putting fitted sheets in the dryer often ends up with a massed ball that is dry on the outside and damp on the inside. To avoid this, I pin together the ends of the fitted sheet before putting it into the dryer. No more ball of damp laundry. — YuChih in Colorado Thanks for the hint. Just be careful of the hot safety pins when pulling the laundry out. Readers, what do you think? Do you have any laundry hints on how you wash bedding? Send them to me.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, July 5, the 186th day of 2013. There are 179 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 5, 1943, the Battle of Kursk began during World War II as German forces attacked a Soviet salient (or bulge) around the Russian city of Kursk; in the weeks that followed, the Soviets were able to repeatedly repel the Germans, who eventually withdrew in defeat.

On this date: • In 1687, Isaac Newton first published his Principia Mathematica, a three-volume work setting out his mathematical principles of natural

philosophy.

• In 1865, William Booth founded the Salvation Army in London.

• In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the National Labor Relations Act. • In 1947, Larry Doby made his debut with the Cleveland Indians, becoming the first black player in the American League.

In 1948, Britain’s National Health Service Act went into effect, providing government-financed medical and dental care.

• In 1954, Elvis Presley’s first commercial recording session took place at Sun Records in Memphis,

Tenn.; the song he recorded was “That’s All Right (Mama).”

• In 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first black man to win a Wimbledon singles title as he defeated Jimmy Connors.

• In 2011, a jury in Orlando, Fla., found Casey Anthony, 25, not guilty of murder, manslaughter and child abuse in the 2008 disappearance and death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.

• Today’s Birthdays: Actress Katherine Helmond is 84. Rock star Huey Lewis is 63. Baseball Hall-ofFame pitcher Rich “Goose” Gossage is 62. Actress Edie Falco is 50.

Crews struggle against southern Nevada blaze CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Residents of a small mountain community northwest of Las Vegas were ordered to evacuate Thursday as firefighters continued to battle searing heat and rugged terrain while fighting a large blaze on Mount Charleston.

The mandatory evacuation of Trout Canyon, a small community of about 21 homes, was issued late in the afternoon as a precaution after the fire jumped Trout Creek and moved in the direction of residences, said Hillerie Patton, fire spokeswoman with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Patton said many residents had already left.

“The fire is not right up on the homes, but close enough that we wanted to make sure for the sake of the fire planning area that we have enough space,” Patton said.

“A lot of it is for safety operations.”

The American Red Cross set up an evacuation center at Hafen Elementary School in Pahrump.

Firefighting efforts Thursday focused on reducing fuels near homes by setting back fires. No homes have been lost.

The lightning-sparked blaze broke out Monday and has burned more than 1,100 acres.

There was zero containment

AP

Las Vegas police block the road to Kyle Canyon on Mount Charleston outside of Las Vegas Thursday.

An evacuation has been ordered for the canyon due to wildfire danger.

Thursday afternoon.

The main road up the mountain was closed, as were other roads and trails in the area.

About 150 firefighters including one Hotshot crew were bat-

tling the Carpenter One Fire. A helicopter was making water drops from the air.

In northern Nevada, fire officials said they expect full containment by the end of the day of

a small fire southeast of Carson City.

The Tarnahan Fire was sparked by lightning Wednesday night and has burned about 25 acres. No homes or structures

were lost of threatened.

Personnel and resources from that fire were being sent to another lightning-sparked fire in Douglas County that broke out Thursday afternoon when thunderstorms moved through the region.

That fire was estimated at 50 acres around 5 p.m.

North of Reno, a large fire that broke out Monday just over the California line was contained Thursday. The Red Rock fire burned nearly 5,400 acres or more than eight square miles.

Other fires are burning elsewhere around the state in remote regions.

According to the National Interagency Fire Center, two fires are burning around Winnemucca and two each are reported in the Ely and Battle Mountain districts.

The largest is the Crescent Dune Fire, estimated at more than 15 square miles.

It was located about five miles south of Orovada and was estimated at 10 percent containment.

Most of Nevada has endured record hot temperatures for the past five days.

Afternoon thunderstorms and drought-parched vegetation heighten fire concerns.

South American leaders back Morales in plane row COCHABAMBA, Bolivia (AP) — President Evo Morales warned on Thursday that he could close the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia, as South America’s leftist leaders rallied to support him after his presidential plane was rerouted amid suspicions that NSA leaker Edward Snowden was on board.

Morales again blamed Washington for pressuring European countries to refuse to allow his plane to fly through their airspace on Tuesday, forcing it to land in Vienna, Austria, in what he called a violation of international law. He had been returning from a summit in Russia during which he had suggested he would be willing to consider a request from Snowden for asylum.

Morales made his announcement as the leaders of Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina and Uruguay joined him in the Bolivian city of Cochabamba on Thursday for a special meeting to address the diplomatic row.

In a joint statement read after the summit, the presidents demanded an explanation and an apology from France, Italy,

Portugal and Spain. They also said they would back Bolivia’s official complaint with the U.N. Human Rights Commission.

Latin American leaders were outraged by the incident, calling it a violation of national sovereignty and a slap in the face for a region that has suffered through humiliations by Europe and several U.S.backed military coups.

“United we will defeat American imperialism. We met with the leaders of my party and they asked us for several measures and if necessary, we will close the embassy of the United States,” Morales said in the city where he started his political career as a leader of coca leaf farmers.

“We do not need the embassy of the United States.”

Morales’ government has had a conflictive relationship with Washington.

It expelled the U.S. ambassador and agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008 for allegedly inciting the opposition. The Andean nation restored full diplomatic ties with the U.S. in 2011. But relations soured again amid

mutual distrust on drug war politics and hit an especially low point after Secretary of State John Kerry referred to Latin America as Washington’s “backyard” in April 2013.

Morales expelled the U.S. Agency for International Development in May for allegedly seeking to undermine his government.

Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said Thursday that he and other leaders were offering full support to Morales following the rerouting of the plane, calling it an aggression against the Americas.

“We’re not going to accept that in the 21st century there’s first, second and third rate countries,” Correa said.

“The leaders and authorities in Europe have to take a lesson in history and understand that we’re not 500 years behind. This Latin America of the 21st century is independent, dignified and sovereign.”

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro protested alleged attempts by Spanish officials to search the Bolivian presidential plane.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez said Latin Americans treasured freedom after fighting for their independence from Europe in the 19th century and then surviving Washington’s 20th-century history of backing repressive regimes in the Americas.

She then demanded an apology for the plane ordeal.

“I’m asking those who violated the law in calm but serious manner, to take responsibility for the errors made, it’s the least they can do,” Fernandez said. “To apologize for once in their life, to say they’re sorry for what they’ve done.”

Morales has said that while the plane was parked in Vienna, the Spanish ambassador to Austria arrived with two embassy personnel and they asked to search the plane. He said he denied them permission.

“Who takes the decision to attack the president of a South American nation?”

Maduro asked. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano “Rajoy has been abusive by trying to search Morales’ plane in Spain. He has no right to breach international law.”

Bartoli, Lisicki in Wimbledon final

LONDON (AP) — Whether in a match, a set, a game or even within a single point Sabine Lisicki simply cannot be counted out.

Especially at Wimbledon, where she is one victory from becoming a Grand Slam champion.

Fashioning the same sort of comeback she used to eliminate defending titlist Serena Williams at the All England Club, the 23rd-seeded Lisicki reached her first major final by edging No. 4 Agnieska Radwanska of Poland 6-4, 2-6, 97 in a compelling, back-and-forth match Thursday.

“I just fought with all my heart,” said Lisicki, who twice was two points away from losing to 2012 runner-up Radwanska. “I believed that I could still win, no matter what the score was.”

On Saturday, Lisicki will face 15th-seeded Marion Bartoli, who took a nap on a locker-room couch before heading out to Centre Court and earning a berth in her second Wimbledon final with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over

second-lowest pair of seeded women to meet for the Wimbledon title. In 2007, Bartoli was No. 18 when she lost to No. 23 Venus Williams.

“In the beginning of the tournament, no one, I think, (expected) those names in the semis or in the finals,” Radwanska said.

That’s for sure.

In 11 of the past 13 years, one Williams sister or the other and sometimes both reached the final at the All England Club.

This year, five-time champion Venus sat out because of a back injury, while five-time champion Serena’s 34-match winning streak ended with a loss to Lisicki in Monday’s fourth round.

In that match, Lisicki won the AP PHOTO Sabine Lisicki plays a return to Agnieszka Radwanska of first set, dropped nine games in a Poland during their Women's singles semifinal match Thursday row to fall behind 3-0 in the at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, third, and eventually took the last four games.

Post 43 rolls past Cincy Stix Staff Report Troy Post 43 coach Frosty Brown wasn’t thrilled with his teams’ performance in a 13-10 loss to Sidney Legion Tuesday night.

Well, his team rebounded in a big way Wednesday night behind the arm of pitcher Luke Veldman.

Cincinnati Reds fans sit in their seats during a rain delay before a game with the San Francisco Giants Thursday in Cincinnati.

No fireworks in Cincy Reds-Giants postponed after 2 1/2 hour wait CINCINNATI (AP) — A rainout at Great American Ball Park did more than push Homer Bailey’s next attempt at pitching another no-hitter out of Cincinnati.

It also raised the possibility, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy mentioned, of the Giants and Reds playing a makeup game at a neutral site.

Thursday’s game never got started and was called after a wait of nearly 2 1-2 hours.

No makeup date was announced. This was the last day the Giants were scheduled to be in Cincinnati this season. The Reds visit San Francisco later this month.

Reds manager Dusty Baker said he would keep his rotation

intact. That would mean Bailey, who beat the Giants by pitching his second career no-hitter Tuesday night, wouldn’t start Sunday at home against Seattle.

Instead, Bailey would try to match Johnny Vander Meer’s 1938 achievement of pitching nohitters in back-to-back starts on Monday in Milwaukee.

Trying to find a makeup date for two teams that might be in playoff contention could be tricky.

The Reds and Giants are both off Aug. 29. It would be the first day after the Reds finish a stretch of 20 games in 20 days and the last before they play 13 games in 13 days; it is also San Francisco’s only day off between stretches of playing on 16 and 17 consecutive dates. Major League

Baseball rules prohibit teams from playing more than 20 straight days without permission from the players’ union.

Also, the Reds would be in the middle of a road trip to St. Louis and Colorado. The Giants would be in the middle of a trip to Colorado and Arizona.

Could Coors Field in Denver be a convenient place to meet?

“There are options they discussed for a makeup,” Bochy said.

“August 29 in Colorado.

September 30, the day after the season, we would come here (Cincinnati). They discussed a split doubleheader at our place.”

Said Baker: “We’re kicking it around, kicking it around about possible dates which are optimal.”

Royals rally for win over Indians

Chestnut wins 7th hot dog contest Joey Chestnut downed 69 franks and devoured his own record in the men’s Fourth of July hot dog eating contest while Sonya Thomas defended her title in the women’s competition.

See Page 16.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Salvador Perez was a bit miffed when he showed up to the park on Thursday.

The Kansas City Royals’ big, affable catcher had worked nine innings the previous night in a game that was delayed nearly three hours by rain and a lighting outage, so manager Ned Yost thought he would give Perez the afternoon off from behind the plate against the Cleveland Indians.

“There was no way he was going to play him today,” Yost explained later, “but I told him to be ready, because you could have an impact on this game.”

That proved to be quite the prediction.

Perez entered as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning and delivered a bases-loaded double, sending the Royals to a 10-7 vic-

tory over the Indians on a sunsplashed afternoon.

“I just felt a little sad coming into the clubhouse and seeing the lineup,” Perez said, “but I just had to be ready for the sixth inning, the seventh inning, whatever the case.”

Lorenzo Cain hit his first career grand slam and George Kottaras followed with a solo shot in the sixth inning for the Royals, allowing them to rally from an early 5-0 deficit.

The Indians regained the lead on Carlos Santana’s tworun double in the seventh, but the Royals answered again in the bottom half when Eric Hosmer cracked a two-run homer.

Indians reliever Bryan Shaw (0-2) walked Kottaras to lead off the eighth and then hit Johnny Giavotella. Shaw was lifted for

Rich Hill, who promptly walked Jarrod Dyson to load the bases.

“We knew Perez was sitting over there ready to hit,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.

He came through with the biggest hit of the day.

“We didn’t get the job done the last two nights,” said Indians reliever Joe Smith, who served up Hosmer’s homer. “It leaves a sour taste in your mouth.”

Luke Hochevar (2-1) worked a scoreless eighth inning for the Royals, and Greg Holland worked around a single in the ninth for his second straight save and his 19th on the season.

The Royals scored at least 10 runs for only the fourth time this year despite only six hits by taking advantage of eight walks and a costly hit batter by the Indians.

Veldman pitched eight innings of shutout baseball and Post 43 broke open a scoreless game in the seventh with a fourrun outburst to walk away with a 5-0 victory over the Cincinnati Stix.

Jimmy Pelphrey came on in the ninth in relief of Veldman, who was the winning pitcher.

Troy Post 43 added an insurance run in the eighth inning. Trenton Wood led the inning by getting hit by a pitch, then Evan Bowling drove him home with a double.

Post 43 is now 29-10 on the season.

■ Auto Racing

NASCAR takes roof flaps from 31 teams DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Thirty-one cars, including 16 in the Sprint Cup Series, failed inspection before Thursday’s practices at Daytona International Speedway.

NASCAR confiscated the teams’ roof flaps, which are designed to keep cars on the ground during spins and wrecks at high speeds, for further inspection. Penalties could be possible.

The cars involved included all three Joe Gibbs Racing entries (Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth), all three Roush Fenway Racing entries (Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.), all three Michael Waltrip Racing entries (Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr. and Michael Waltrip) and both Roger Penske Racing entries (Joey Logano and defending series champion Brad Keselowski). Cars driven by Jamie McMurray, Trevor Bayne, Casey Mears, Marcos Ambrose and Aric Almirola also failed inspection.

The roof-flap spacers had been illegally machined down to reduce weight.

NASCAR inspectors made those Cup teams install new, unaltered roof flaps before drivers were allowed on the track for the first of two practices.

Andre Greipel celebrates crossing the finish line ahead Peter Sagan of Slovakia, left and second place, and Mark Cavendish of Britain, fourth place, right, to win the sixth stage of the Tour de France cycling race Thursday over 176.5 kilometers (110.3 miles) with start in Aix-en-Provence and finish in Montpellier, southern France.

MONTPELLIER, France (AP) — Stage 6 of the 100th Tour de France was a textbook demonstration of teamwork.

Like playing pass the parcel, an Australian deliberately handed over the race lead to help a South African teammate and friend become the first rider from that country to wear the famed yellow jersey.

And Andre Greipel, who won the stage with a fierce finishing sprint, owed a debt of gratitude to teammates who plied him with drinks all afternoon, ferrying bottles back and forth from cars at the back of the race, so he didn’t melt in the scorching sun.

“Room service,” the big German said light-heartedly.

As the new leader of

cycling’s showcase race, Daryl Impey can look forward to some first-class treatment, too. Being the first South African to wear the yellow jersey “will definitely change my life,” he said.

Rugby, cricket and, for the majority black population, football, are the big sports for South Africans.

Impey can shop in the malls of Johannesburg, where he trains and lives, without being recognized, said his wife, Alexandra.

But that was before his buddy on the Orica GreenEdge team, Simon Gerrans, passed him the race lead at the Tour.

“Wearing the yellow jersey now is definitely going to change things for cycling, put it on the map in South Africa,” said Impey.

“Hopefully people will start recognizing me, maybe.”

Gerrans knows the feeling. To wear canary yellow at the Tour is to be king for a day or more depending on how long the rider keeps the lead.

Gerrans had it for two unforgettable days. Fans clapped and cheered when they saw him. Reporters chased him. A particularly boisterous crowd of Aussie fans played air guitar for him.

The jersey also carries extra responsibilities: news conferences, podium ceremonies and other distractions can eat into rest and recovery so important for riders to survive the threeweek trek over 2,115 miles.

Injuries from crashes have already culled seven of the 198 riders who started in

Corsica on June 29.

Impey worked for Gerrans earlier at the Tour, helping him win Stage 3 and riding hard in the time trial Orica won as a team in Stage 4. Gerrans figured it was time for some payback.

So on Thursday he rode in five seconds behind Impey in Montpellier. That was enough for the race lead to pass from one to the other, because they started the day with the exact same overall time, with Gerrans in first place and Impey second.

“Daryl was a huge part of me getting the jersey so I thought it was a nice gesture to be able to pass it on to him now. Hopefully for a few days,” Gerrans said. “To have the yellow jersey, it just really changes your life as a cyclist.”

New world record

Wimbledon

Chestnut chomps down 69 hot dogs, wins 7th title NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Chestnut downed 69 franks and devoured his own record in the men’s Fourth of July hot dog eating contest while Sonya Thomas defended her title in the women’s competition.

The San Jose, Calif., man known as Jaws ate one more wiener than his previous record to capture the mustard-yellow champion’s belt. He said afterward that he was motivated by the prestige, not the $10,000 prize money.

“I’d do this for nothing,” he said.

Thomas, a 100-pound dynamo known as the “Black Widow” of competitive eating, wolfed down nearly 37 wieners to narrowly eke out her own victory.

Chestnut, 29, is a seven-time winner who set the old record — 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes — in 2009 and tied it last year. Thomas, 45, powered through 45 dogs to take the women’s championship last year and also won in 2011, the first year women competed separately Chestnut, who weighs 210 pounds, had said his pace was uneven in the past, but “this year I’m trying to eat a little more gracefully, conserve my energy.”

Second-place finisher was Matt Stonie, who chomped down 51 hot dogs.

With this year’s victory, Chestnut has now bested his former rival, Takeru Kobayashi, who won six times. Kobayashi competed in a different eating contest Thursday.

Thomas went toe-to-toe with Juliet Lee for the $5,000 women’s prize.

Thomas finished with 36 and three-quarters dogs; Lee ate 36 wieners.

Joey Chestnut wins the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating contest with a total of 69 hot dogs and buns Thursday at Coney Island in the Brooklyn borough of New York. lenge of shoveling down dozens of franks is actually “more mental than physical.”

“I have to fight with myself, so I’m going to try to really focus,” said Thomas, of Alexandria, Va., where she manages a fast-food restaurant.

Now in its 98th year, the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest draws crowds of thousands to

marvel at contestants cramming frankfurters down their throats.

Ginger Perry, 47, of Obion County, Tenn., said she and her family planned their New York City vacation around the contest after watching it on TV in past years.

Perry was impressed that Coney Island has recovered so well from being slammed by Superstorm Sandy last October. “It’s amazing to be

here and that they rebuilt so quickly,” she said.

The hot dog contest took place despite concerns about a swaying, shuttered observation tower that spurred the closure of parts of the nearby amusement park. The shutdown didn’t affect Nathan’s, but Coney Island’s famous Cyclone roller coaster and other rides were closed, and workers were using a crane to dismantle the tower.

Djokovic feeling fresh for semifinals LONDON (AP) — One semifinalist is rebounding from a taxing five-set comeback. Another was so overwhelmed to reach the final four, he sat on the court and wept. One more has a knee that’s being kept in action through the miracles of ice baths, athletic tape and painkillers.

And then there’s Novak Djokovic.

Of the four men preparing for today’s semifinals at Wimbledon, nobody has had skated through a lesstaxing road than the topranked and top-seeded Serb, who remains the odds-on favorite to win his seventh Grand Slam title.

“Coming into the semifinals, I feel physically fresh,” said Djokovic, who has won all 15 sets he’s played and averaged less than two hours per match, the lowest total of any of the final four.

“And I’m ready. Plenty of

motivation to win every match that I play here.”

Djokovic will play eighth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro, who also hasn’t dropped a set in his first five matches at Wimbledon, but is the opposite of “fresh” dealing with the effects of hyperextending his left knee twice: First in a match last Saturday, then again in his quarterfinal victory over David Ferrer.

The other men’s semifinal pits No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz, a 22-year-old from Poland who is making his deepest run at a Grand Slam, against No. 2 Andy Murray, who came back from two sets down to beat Fernando Verdasco and advance to his fifth straight Wimbledon semifinal.

Murray got himself into quite a bind in the Verdasco match, but slowed things down to make a meticulous comeback. He

was on the court for 3 hours, 27 minutes to bring his total to 11 hours, 59 minutes, the most of the four semifinalists.

How big a toll will all that take?

“You never know,” Murray said. “The next match will be different from the one today. Who knows? Some of the guys, like Novak, (haven’t) lost a set yet. I’m sure he’s pretty happy with where his game is at just now. I’m happy to be in the semis. Regardless of whether it’s been five sets or the first matches were in three sets, it makes no difference.”

Murray is trying to reach the final in the fourth straight Grand Slam he’s played. (He missed this year’s French Open with a back injury). He carries the hopes of a nation with him every time he steps on the court at Wimbledon. No British man has won the

country’s Grand Slam since Fred Perry in 1936.

Janowicz is well aware of that.

“I hope Andy will feel some kind of pressure,” he said. “I’m sure he’ll feel some kind of pressure because Great Britain is waiting for the (British) champion in Wimbledon.”

Janowicz knows all about the feeling of playing for a country.

In an all-Polish quarterfinal, he defeated Lukasz Kubot in a match he called “one of the toughest matches of my life.”

“I was never in a quarterfinal before. I never had a chance to be in the semifinal of a Grand Slam. I never played against Lukasz before,” Janowicz said in describing the emotions of the match.

When it was over, he traded shirts with Kubot, soccer-style, then sat in his chair and wept.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 around.

“I thought, ‘I’ve done it against Serena, so you can do it today as well. Just hang in there,’” Lisicki said. “It gave me so much confidence.”

Some of that derives from a more daunting recovery. In 2010, she badly injured her left ankle and missed five months.

Not only did she fall outside the top 150 in the rankings, but Lisicki says her rehabilitation felt like a course in how to use that leg.

“I can still remember when the doctor told me that I have to be on crutches the next six weeks. I was like, ‘OK, when can I get back?’

That was my first question,” Lisicki recalled Thursday. “That period made me such a much stronger person and … I know anything is possible after learning how to walk again.”

She cited inspiration drawn from two injured athletes in other sports, NFL quarterback Drew Brees and Alpine ski racer Hermann Maier.

Brees tore his throwing shoulder in the last game of the 2005 regular season, and needed a complicated operation. Let go by the San Diego Chargers, he wound up signing with the New Orleans Saints and led that franchise to the Super Bowl title in 2010.

Maier, who won two Olympic gold medals and four overall World Cup titles, nearly lost his right leg and his life in a 2001 motorcycle accident.

Sidelined for two years, he returned to win the World Cup in 2004.

Lisicki also was motivated by a text message she said she received before Thursday’s match from the last German

woman to play in a Grand Slam final, back in 1999, Steffi Graf.

“She told me to go for it,” Lisicki said.

Lisicki’s formula against Radwanska was the same one she employed while beating major champions Francesca Schiavone in the first round, Sam Stosur in the third and Williams: powerful serves, stinging returns and an uncanny ability to get to balls that seem out of reach. On Thursday, Lisicki smacked serves at up to 122 mph, including nine aces, and hit eight return winners.

Her game clearly is built for grass. She is 19-4 at Wimbledon, 16-15 at the other three major tournaments. She’s 8-2 in three-setters at Wimbledon, 5-9 at the other Slams.

Bartoli also has been most successful at what many players consider tennis’ most prestigious site. Her career winning percentage at Wimbledon is .730; it’s .586 at the other Slams. She is 2-0 in Wimbledon semifinals, 01 elsewhere.

“I had to play, I don’t know, 500 percent, I think, to beat Marion today. She was just too good,” said Flipkens, who fell face-down in the grass in the sixth game, landing on her bandaged right knee, and later received treatment.

“I tried my slices. She didn’t have any problem with that. I tried the drop shot. She got it,” added Flipkens, who never had been past the fourth round at a major. “I tried a lob. I tried everything, actually.”

Hitting two-handed shots off both wings like her idol, Monica Seles Bartoli took the first three games of each set and never relented.

Cavs, Clark agree to deal CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers have landed one of the Lakers’ front-line free agents. No, not that guy.

Cleveland has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with forward Earl Clark, who played alongside Dwight Howard last season in Los Angeles.

Clark, who spent two days visiting with the Cavs earlier this week, is getting a deal worth $9 million, said the person who spoke to the Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because NBA teams can’t officially sign players until the free agent period ends on July 10.

The Sporting News first reported Clark’s deal.

The 6-foot-10 Clark set

career-highs in scoring (7.3), rebounds (5.5) and minutes (23.1) in 36 starts last season.

Before joining the Lakers, C l a r k played for Orlando a n d Phoenix.

With T r istan CLARK Thompson and No. 1 overall draft pick Anthony Bennett playing power forward, the Cavs needed an experienced small forward and believe Clark can compete for that starting role.

Clark, 25, was drafted in the first round (No. 14 overall) by the Suns in 2009 after playing at Louisville.
