In Illinois, Obama led fight on racial profiling

Upbeat health report for Mandela on 95th birthday JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Hospital visitors say Nelson Mandela smiled and nodded Thursday — his 95th birthday — and South Africans celebrated upbeat reports about the former president’s health after weeks of worrying that he was on the verge of death.

Children sang “Happy Birthday” at school assemblies nationwide, and many honored the man known as “the father of the nation” by performing acts of charity for 67 minutes, symbolizing Mandela’s 67 years of public service. World leaders praised the anti-apartheid leader’s life of sacrifice and vision.

Outside the Pretoria hospital where Mandela was admitted for a recurring lung infection, well-wishers paid tribute to him and some received slices of a large birthday cake doled out from inside the compound.

“We don’t only recognize him on this day.

We put smiles on other people’s faces, we donate to other people less fortunate,” said Thato Williams, a 13-year-old student at Melpark Primary School in Johannesburg, where 700 students gathered in a hall filled with posters created to honor Mandela’s contributions to peace and education.

Mandela remains very fragile, and many details of his medical condition have not been divulged or are tightly controlled by his family and President Jacob Zuma. The news that his health had improved was another dramatic turn in the life of a man who became a global figure of sacrifice and reconciliation during the fight against white minority rule in South Africa.

“When I visited him today, I found him really stable, and I was able to say, ‘Happy

Birthday,’ and he was able to smile,” Zuma said, according to the South African Press Association. His office had recently said Mandela’s condition was critical but stable, but a statement Thursday said he was steadily improving.

Several months ago, Zuma gave an overly optimistic health assessment, but his remarks Thursday were matched by comments from some members of Mandela’s family.

Mandela is making “remarkable progress,” said one of his daughters, Zindzi, after tense weeks.

Granddaughter Tukwini Mandela said the day was “bittersweet” for the family.

“Obviously we’re really grateful for people

WASHINGTON (AP) — Airline pilots spend nearly all their time monitoring automated cockpit systems rather than “hand-flying” planes, but their brains aren’t wired to continually pay close attention to instruments that rarely fail or show discrepancies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In 1999, a fresh-faced state senator on Chicago’s South Side heard constituents complain that police were free to pull over drivers because they were black. So Barack Obama proposed a bill to tackle racial profiling. When it failed, he revised it and proposed it again and again.

Maintaining the grade

Troy City Schools’ buildings have extensive list of improvements done before school begins

By Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Troy City Schools’ director of facilities and maintenance Tytus Jacobs is spending a lot of his day in summer school, cleaning, maintaining and overseeing the work at all of Troy City Schools’ buildings.

Jacobs explained the district’s maintenance plan as Midwest Maintenance of Piqua performed “tuck pointing” to seal missing mortar between Forest Elementary bricks on Thursday.

The elementary school located on Canal Street was built in 1949.

“We try to keep up on everything,” Jacobs said. “Our main goal is to be proactive so we have safe and healthy schools for our students and staff.”

Tuck pointing also was done at Van Cleve Sixth Grade building, Kyle and Concord Elementary

buildings. Van Cleve is the district’s oldest building which will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2014.

“These older buildings are so solid,” Jacobs said. “We are proactive in keeping each building in pristine condition. I even walk the roofs myself to see what needs worked on from the top down.”

Jacobs said protecting each of the district’s nine buildings from water damage is the main goal in preventive maintenance. Special attention is made to the building’s “envelope” which includes the exterior walls and roofing, Jacobs said.

“For buildings as old as ours, Troy City Schools does a very good job with building maintenance,” Jacob said. “It took people like (former treasurer) Don Pence and guys like that who thought out an extensive five-year plan to keep up the

preventative maintenance to preserve these buildings.”

Jacobs said he follows the five-year maintenance plan to update roofs, paint interiors and resurface parking lots and other building projects.

“It’s very important our tax payers know our goal is to have good, safe and healthy buildings in our district,” Jacobs said.”We try to stay in front of problems.”

The bulk of the 2013 capital improvement projects have been the Troy Junior High School’s Ferguson Drive loop and south lot and Forest Elementary parking lot and playground. The paving projects were completed by Ticon Paving Inc. for $136,922.

Concrete repair has been done at Troy Junior High School, Kyle, Hook and Concord Elementary Schools and at Troy Memorial Stadium.

TROY — After a soggy start to the month of July, summer is finally sizzling to recoup lost daily admission revenue at the Troy Aquatic Park according to Carrie Slater in a report during the joint recreation and park board meeting on Thursday.

Slater said the threat of rain during the first half of July and a mild June kept attendance down.

Yet with temperatures soaring to the 90s this month, Slater said she expected to see the TAP filled to capacity and recover.

“We’ve been at capacity this week,” Slater said. “Things are going well and finally, summer has hit.”

Slater reported 457 season passes have been sold so far this summer.

Joan Funderburg resigned from the Troy Recreation board due to health reasons. Donna Snipes was appointed by Mayor Michael Beamish to fill Funderburg’s position.

Alan Kappers reported the parks department was busy mowing grass and removed dead ash trees in the city parks. The park board will host a tour of its larger park facilities on July 23 at 6:30 p.m. The tour will review the parks for capital improvements.

Kappers said the tour will be considered a meeting and is open to those who are interested in providing a “fresh eye” for capital improvement project opportunities in the city parks. The tour also will provide feedback for budget planning as well, Kappers said.

Plenty of positive feedback was in store for the Hobart Arena and Troy Recreation Department with letters of of thanks praise for the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure group from skating clubs from around the country who participated in the U.S. Figure Skating National Theater on Ice competition in June.

Camp introduces children to 4-H

BY ALYSSA RECK

For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

PLEASANT HILL — Indian Hills 4-H camp is the site of 2013 Miami County 4-H Cloverbud Camp for children in kindergarten through second grade. The day camp was held Thursday and today.

“It’s a great opportunity to introduce these kids to 4-H and also gives them a chance to enjoy the facility,” said Demetria Woods, extension educator and 4-H youth development lead-

er.

With a theme of “Bugging Out!,” the children had the opportunity to participate in activities relating to insects and nature. One of the activities scheduled for the Cloverbud campers was a scavenger hunt.

The children found multiple items relating to nature, such as flowers, pinecones, leaves, rocks, colors, and shapes.

Each child received a T-shirt and a lanyard with either a butterfly, caterpillar, lady bug

P E R M A N E N T IMPROVEMENT FUND LEVY SEEKS RENEWAL On the November 5 ballot, the Troy City Schools’ board of education approved to seek the renewal of its five-year 1.1-mills permanent improvement levy. The levy is projected to generate approximately $685,224 per year if renewed, according to Troy City Schools’ Superintendent Eric Herman.

Funds generated by a permanent improvement levy only can be used to maintain the facilities for painting, plumbing, roof repair and heating projects for the district’s nine buildings. The district also has 87 acres of grounds. The district’s nine buildings range in age from 99 years old to 39 years old.

The levy last was renewed in May 2009. The levy was first approved in 1984, when it was collected at a 2.0-mills rate, and has been reduced over the years to the current collection rate of 1.1 mills.

Mandela n Continued from page 1 sending us good wishes and being generally supportive, but, you know, my grandfather is not well, he’s in hospital,” she added.

“We would have preferred him to actually celebrate this day with us out of the hospital, but we are where we are, and we’re just keeping our heads up and we’re being strong.”

Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, who also visited Mandela, described him as “smiling and alert.”

“He opens his eyes and nods, as if to say: ‘I’m here with you and appreciate what you’re doing,’” she said.

Hospitalized since June 8, Mandela’s outlook had seemed increasingly grim until his reported turnaround in recent days. Court documents filed by Mandela’s family earlier this month had said Mandela was on life support.

Another Mandela granddaughter, Ndileka Mandela, poured soup for poor children at a charity event and said her family had been unsure about whether her grandfather would live to see his birthday.

“But because of the fighter that he is, he was able to fight a repressive system, and he was able, through God and everybody’s prayers, to make it today,” she said.

Thursday also marked the 15th wedding anniversary of Mandela and Graca Machel, the former first lady of Mozambique who has spent much of the time at her husband’s side during his illness.

As part of his acts of charity, Zuma opened low-cost housing for poor black and white families in the Pretoria area. South Africa is struggling with high unemployment, labor unrest, service delivery shortcomings and other social challenges that have dampened the expectations of a better life for black South Africans after the end of apartheid two decades ago.

Retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu helped paint a school outside Cape Town, saying Mandela makes South Africans “walk tall” and urging compatriots to refrain from divisive behavior.

Elsewhere, social workers, military commanders and private company employees planted trees, cleaned classrooms and donated food, blankets and other basic necessities in poor areas.

Doctors administered eye tests, inoculations and other medical treatments.

At the United Nations, where July 18 was declared Nelson Mandela International Day, former President Bill Clinton recalled getting to know him

Leeloo and Elsa from Paris take photos at the site of giant poster during a concert to mark the 95th birthday of former South African President Nelson Mandela at Republique square in Paris Thursday July. People celebrated Nelson Mandela’s 95th birthday on Thursday, a milestone capped by news that the former president’s health was improving after fears that he was close to death during ongoing hospital treatment.

while in office. “His heart was so big, and his humanity so great that we often had trouble keeping our official roles apart from our personal friendship,” Clinton said.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in a message read at the U.N., said “more than a billion Indian hearts rejoice and take pride in the life and mission of Nelson Mandela.”

“The outpouring of love and the countless prayers that we have seen in recent days for Nelson Mandela only prove that there is something very deep and abiding in the human spirit that binds us across borders,” said the statement, read by Indian U.N. Ambassador Asoke Kumar Mukerji.

Three astronauts on the International Space Station honored Mandela in a video message, with astronaut Karen Nyberg calling him “the symbol of what humankind must strive for: peace, brotherhood and a common goal to better every life on this planet.”

Visiting Pretoria, European Union President Herman Van Rompuy packed food parcels and said his two sons were fans of Mandela, whom he described as “the brightest sun of South Africa.”

Also known by his clan name

Madiba, Mandela was jailed for 27 years under apartheid and led a difficult transition to democracy, becoming president in allrace elections in 1994. He served one five-year term, evolving into a global statesman and pursuing charitable causes after that. He retired from public life years ago.

“South Africa is a better place today than it was in 1994 and this is because of the contribution made by Madiba and his collective,” the ruling African National Congress, once led by Mandela, said in a statement.

The ANC was the leading liberation movement during apartheid, and has dominated politics since the end of white rule. However, it has come under increasing criticism because of corruption scandals and frustration over poverty and other problems.

In recent months, the ANC and opposition groups have sought to emphasize their connections to Mandela’s legacy in the fight for democracy, leading to accusations of political opportunism on both sides.

F.W. de Klerk, the last president of the apartheid era, said in a statement that Mandela’s birthday “should be a time for quiet and respectful contemplation — and not for unseemly squabbling over the ownership

of Mr. Mandela’s heritage.”

He continued: “Throughout his life he has been a loyal and stalwart member of the ANC — but I believe that through his example and through his unwavering commitment to national reconciliation — all South Africans, regardless of their race or political affiliation, can now proudly call him their own.”

De Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela in 1993 because he effectively negotiated his own government out of power, working on a political transition with Mandela that allayed fears of all-out racial conflict.

Mandela’s former wife said she wanted to reassure South Africans who fear the eventual death of Mandela, a unifying figure, would open the way to unrest.

“There are sometimes prophets of doom who say the country will come to a standstill,” said Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, herself a prominent figure in the anti-apartheid movement, in an interview with South Africa’s Radio 702.

However, she said: “The country will solidify, come together and carry on.”

Aquatic n Continued from page 1 Arena and the city of Troy Recreation Department director included several emails and thank yous from participants in both events.

Siler also reported the Hobart Arena is looking into expanding its ticket processing system with Ticket Force by offering “print-at-home” ticket options. Siler said the process of printing, sorting, mailing and tracking tickets to events at Hobart Arena can be labor intensive and time consuming.

Martin Hobart, president of the recreation board, asked Siler if the upgrade to offer “print-at-home” ticket option would cost additional money.

Siler explained the cost of the upgrade would be offset by the reduction of labor with the ticket process in the office.

“There is an additional fee for start up, but it will be offset by the labor,” Siler said.

Siler reported the Hobart Arena received a $15,000 grant from the Troy Foundation to replace rubber matting in high traffic areas. Siler said steps in the public skating arena, ramp in the hockey area will most likely receive top priority to replace bubbling and deteriorating areas in the arena in August.

Siler said a “feasibility study” will take place to see how the Hobart Arena can expand its offerings for ice usage and concerts. Siler said the study will help determine short falls and improve practices in the arena during its events.

• The Kids Triathlon will be held 7:30 a.m. Sunday beginning at the Troy Aquatic Park. Last year, 302 children participated.

Ken Siler said children from Cincinnati and Columbus have registered for the event. Proceeds from the event benefit the Miami County CASA/GAL organization. Siler said he expects more than 400 children to participate this year due to the growing popularity of triathlons for children.

Troy Kids Triathlon will begin at Troy Aquatic Park and is open to children ages 4-14. The race includes swimming in the pool, running at Troy Memorial Stadium and cycling on the Great Miami Recreational Trail and the cost is $20. All kids get a T-shirt and a participation medal, with top three winners receiving a special goodie bag.

Ages 4-6 start at 7:30 a.m., 7-8 year olds at 8:15 a.m., 9-10 year olds at 9:15 a.m., 11-12 year olds at 10:15 a.m. and 13-14 year olds at 11:15 a.m. All participants must have a bike helmet. All proceeds benefit CASA/Gal of Miami County.

The best way to pre-register is to contact Cheryl Chaney at (937) 216-3078.

Same-day registration is available at 6:30 a.m..

Third Day will be returning to Hobart Arena for a second time which Siler said should sell out.

Siler said with the tickets being very affordable, a sell-out crowd is expected for the band.

The band, which came to Troy in October 2011 for a show with Tenth Avenue North, will return for An Evening With Third Day at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 15.

All reserved seats are $20 in advance and

$26 the day of the show. A limited number of VIP “meet and greet” tickets also are available for $75 and include early entry to the venue, seating close to the stage, meet and greet before the show, a photo opportunity with the band, a Third Day gift bag, limited edition tour gift and a VIP laminate/lanyard.

A discount for group tickets also is available for 15 or more tickets purchase at one time and can be obtained by calling the arena box office at 339-2911.

“Some of the kids have older siblings in 4-H and some don’t,” Woods said.

“Either way it is fun for the kids.”

Other activities include swimming, nature fun, crafts, super science fun, and many games.

The camp also had two speakers that talked

about soil and water, and bubbles. The children learned about stream quality maintenance, as well as the layers of the soil. Some of the children learned that even ingredients in pizza came from the soil.

“I hope the kids have fun, learn new things and make friends,” said Emily Oldham, camp counselor.

“The friendships made here can truly last for-

ever.”

Oldham is one of three junior camp counselors who volunteered their time for Cloverbud camp.

The 11 children who attended camp are Braiden Barnes, Blake Boggess, Evelyn Case, Julia Couser, Keira Kirby, Megan McDowell, Hunter Ray, Jacob Seger, Erika Shellabarger, Lillian Woods and Amiah Landers.

Cloverbud activities also are scheduled to take place during the Miami County Fair Week, Aug. 9-15. A Cloverbud Fun Time will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday, Tuesday and Thursday. A Cloverbud Show and Tell Time set for 10 a.m. Wednesday.

All Cloverbud activities at the fair will be held in the Duke Lundgard building.

Name of park up for grabs Suggestions soon to be taken

By JOHN BADEN

For Civitas Media tdneditorial@tdnpublishing.com

WEST MILTON — Would you like to name the new park off Spring Street in West Milton?

This is your lucky day.

The city parks board decided unanimously Wednesday to offer residents the opportunity to give the former elementary and middle school site its title.

Board member Mark Pricer suggested that involving the community in this process would be a positive note for this project as the city decides what path to go down in planning and launching the park.

“That is not something that is necessarily up to us, but the community,” Pricer said.

Council member Susan Willis applauded the idea as a way to not only make the West Milton residents feel included, but also give them a sense of ownership over the park. People will soon be able to drop name suggestions and nominate people’s names for the park through the city’s municipality website at www.westmiltonohio.gov.

The municipality also can be reached by phone at (937) 698-1500.

After the suggestions have acrued several names, Municipal Manager Matt Kline and Pricer agreed that the board could reduce the choices to five or six names and give the public the opportunity to vote on the final name.

“If anything else, to know you named the park or had something to do with it, I think would be kind of neat,” Pricer said.

Kline said he has spent time exploring different firms through communication with other city managers for planning the new park. Two common names that came up often were Edsall Associates out of Columbus and Kinzelman Kline out of Cincinnati.

According to Kline, Edsall Associates did Tipp City’s master plan from 2001-2003 as well as planning Troy’s park.

Kinzelman Kline did the landscaping plan for Troy’s city pool, and Kline also witnessed the company’s work when he worked in Mason. Kline said that he would call and interview these two firms as well as Bayer Becker, a smaller firm in Mason.

“I’m going to take them up and show them what we have and then just

ask for a proposal,” Kline said.

Shooting hoops Supervisor of Streets and Grounds Ben Herron said that the city ordered four new basketball hoops for recreational use. The “heavy duty playground sets” come with poles, aluminum backboards and heavy duty rims.The cost per unit was $684.93 for a total of $3,015.72 including shipping. That came after quotes from four different companies with the prices ranging greatly, according to Herron.

“We got a great deal from Palos Sports Inc. out of Alsip, Illinois,” Herron said.

The money came from the Parks Captial Improvement Fund.

Pending Milton-Union School’s approval, the city would like to install the hoops on S. Jay Street, using the northern most tennis court that the school is leasing to the city. Currently, the only public basketball court is in the lower lot of the main park, and it only has one hoop.

While the new hoops have not yet arrived, Herron believed that they would make it to West Milton by the end of the week.

Volunteers sought TIPP CITY — There is a unique week of reading intervention at Tipp City Schools upcoming and RSVP/HandsOn West Central Ohio is looking for volunteers to help children during the “Summer Academy Intervention” through Project More.

Research shows that reading proficiency by third grade is the most important predictor of high school graduation and career success. Yet every year, more than 80 percent of lowincome children miss this crucial milestone and summer learning loss is one reason many children struggle with reading. Many children will lose more than two months of reading achievement during the summer, making it all the more difficult for children who are behind to catch up with their peers.

To help these children get ahead, Tipp City Schools is conducting a “Summer Academy Intervention” at L.T. Ball Intermediate School Aug. 5-9. RSVP is assisting Tipp City Schools in finding volunteers aged 55 and better to serve as one-on-one reading mentors. Training will be provided Aug. 2.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: How has the rain affected your plans this summer?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News

PERSPECTIVE

The Daily News, Bowling Green, Ky., on militants’ attacks on school were evil and barbaric: Islamic militants’ recent attack on a boarding school in Nigeria shows just how evil these people truly are.

The attacks on the school in the town of Potiskum were barbaric. The militants doused a dormitory in fuel and burned it as students slept. At least 30 people were killed in this cowardly attack. Teachers said dozens of children from the 1,200-student school escaped into the bush but have not been seen since. Others in the dormitory were either burned to death or shot as they tried to flee the burning building.

What kind of person or group does this to kids?

One only has to consider the source to answer that question. Nigerians are blaming the attacks on the Boko Haram, a group whose name means “Western education is sacrilege.”

The group has been behind a series of recent attacks on schools in the region, including one in which gunmen opened fire on children taking exams in a classroom.

Militants like this hate the fact that children are actually trying to get an education that is broader than the tunnel vision of the world their movement represents. What if it is?

Boko Haram has a long history of killing innocent people.

Since 2010, they have killed more than 1,600 civilians in suicide bombings and other attacks. On July 4, gunmen associated with the group went to the home of a primary school headmaster and gunned down his entire family.

Boko Haram needs to be destroyed. They are a threat to peace, democracy, human life and the majority of those who positively represent Islam.

Times-Picayune, New Orleans, on Zimmerman verdict provokes sorrow and fear: The day after a Sanford, Fla., jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the 2012 shooting death of Travyon Martin, Americans all over the country took to the streets in protest.

About 200 people gathered at Washington Square Park in New Orleans Sunday and about twice as many marched in Chicago. Thousands were reported in Times Square in New York, and in Los Angeles, protesters swarmed Interstate 10 causing that highway to be temporarily shut down.

Many of those demonstrating their anger at the 17-yearold’s death and their disappointment in the jury’s verdict wore hooded sweatshirts. That was the article of clothing that Zimmerman, Martin’s killer, found so suspicious that rainy February night that he followed him.

The shooting of the black unarmed teenager by a white and Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer had the elements of a racially divisive case from the beginning. But the racial diversity of the crowds that marched Sunday indicates that one doesn’t have to be black to be upset by the teenager’s death.

During halftime of the NBA’s 2012 All-Star Game, Martin walked to a convenience store and bought Skittles and a can of iced tea. He never made it back home. On his way back, Zimmerman deemed him suspicious. There was a confrontation. When it was over, Martin lay dead.

One thing is indisputable: We never would have known either’s name if Zimmerman had let Martin be, or, if after Zimmerman had called 911, he took the advice of the dispatcher and kept his distance. But he chose to follow the teenager.

That fact alone made the case bigger than Martin. Those who are honest in their struggle to understand why so many black Americans are in despair need to know that being watched, being followed, being suspected of something and being assumed a danger is a near universal experience for black Americans - black boys and men especially.

Summertime, and the livin’ ain’t easy I always know summer is upon us with a few tell-tale signs.

The first notable sign is that I am spending more time at my parents’ house.

And the reason I’m spending so much time over at their place is not because I’m their favorite daughter, or that I’m leaving a large imprint of my body on their couch watching Duck Dynasty marathons and eating their leftovers.

It’s not that they particularly care for my presence either.

Actually, they both like my kid and dog more than they like me.

But I’ve spending more time at their place for one reason, and one reason only: they have air conditioning.

It’s a little warm out there folks.

It’s so warm that my farmer father donned on shorts for the first time in

years.

Yesterday, Dad and Evan went out and got an oscillating fan (I like the word oscillating, can you tell?) for the two guys in the bank barn wearing the white wool sweaters. Poor fellas. At least they have cold fresh water from the automatic water contraption.

Dad had bought me an air conditioner.

Ever since the beautiful white contraption has been installed, I’ve been hardpressed to leave the house.

And did I say that Dad had bought me an air conditioner? Wait, let me correct myself. Dad had bought Shorty and Evan an air conditioner. Of course it wasn’t for me, it was for the dog and the kid.

But since I’m in cool company, I’ll just soak up the benefits of having such a cool kid and cool dog.

UN envoy warns of trauma to children in Syria war

Thailand riveted by jet-setting monk scandal

reversing one of Syria’s main pre-war achievements — in 2010, nearly all children of school age had completed primary school.

Inside Syria, thousands of schools have been destroyed.

Others serve as shelters for displaced families. Some 5 million people have been driven from their homes, fleeing either elsewhere in Syria or abroad, around half of them children under 18.

For those who flee into Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq and elsewhere, the U.N. has set up schools programs in refugee camps. But it is struggling to keep up with demand — and most of the 1.7 million Syrian refugees don’t live in camps. Zerrougui estimated that around half of the nearly 900,000 refugee children do not go to school, and 70 percent of those that do drop out.

“By not providing education, you are robbing the children of their future,”

Yoka Brandi, deputy executive director of UNICEF, told The Associated Press in Damascus. “Education is a protection measure, because when children are in school, they are less vulnerable.”

Abdullah never entered primary school. By the time he should have been starting the first grade, his hometown in the northern province of Idlib was engulfed by fierce fighting between Assad’s forces and the rebels. At some point earlier this year, both his parents were killed, caught in a crossfire during clashes.

“I wanted to run away because I was afraid I will die,” said Abdullah, who is now living in the church-run House of Hope shelter for street children in the mountains overlooking Beirut. He told AP that he was fleeing with his uncle, who took him to a van taking people into Lebanon.

trafficking and manslaughter for a hit-and-run accident.

Authorities are struggling to figure out how he amassed so much money.

“Over the years there have been several cases of men who abused the robe, but never has a monk been implicated in so many crimes,” said Pong-in Intarakhao, the case’s chief investigator for the Department of Special Investigation, Thailand’s equivalent of the FBI. “We have never seen a case this widespread, where a monk has caused so much damage to so many people and to Thai society.”

Cases of monk misconduct in recent years have centered on alcohol use or cavorting with women or men, all forbidden activities. Last year, about 300 of Thailand’s 61,416 full-time monks were reprimanded and in several cases disrobed for violating their vows, according to the Office of National Buddhism.

In Wirapol’s case, investigators believe they have only scratched the surface.

Born in the poor northeastern province of Ubon Ratchathani, he entered the monkhood as a teenager and gained local renown for claims of supernatural powers like the ability to fly, walk on water and

talk to deities. He renamed himself, Luang Pu Nen Kham, taking on a self-bestowed title normally reserved for elder monks.

Gradually, he cultivated wealthy followers to help fund expensive projects in the name of Buddhism — building temples, hospitals and what was touted as the world’s largest Emerald Buddha.

The 11-meter (36-foot) high Buddha was built at his temple in the northeast, touted as solid jade but made of tinted concrete.

Thailand’s Anti-Money Laundering Office has discovered 41 bank accounts linked to the ex-monk. Several of the accounts kept about 200 million baht ($6.4 million) in constant circulation, raising suspicion of money laundering.

Investigators also suspect that Wirapol killed a man in a hit-and-run accident while driving a Volvo late at night three years ago.

Critics say Wirapol is an extreme example of a wider crisis in Buddhism, which has become marginalized by a shortage of monks and an increasingly secular society.

The meditative lifestyle of the monkhood offers little allure to young Buddhists raised on shopping malls, smartphones and the Internet.

The U.N. warns that Syriaճ war is creating a generation of children who will grow up illiterate and filled with hate.

BANGKOK (AP) — He’s known as Thailand’s jet-setting fugitive monk, and his story has riveted the country with daily headlines of lavish excess, promiscuity and alleged crimes ranging from statutory rape to manslaughter.

Until a month ago, 33-year old Wirapol Sukphol was relatively unknown in Thailand.

Now he is at the center of the biggest religious scandal the predominantly Buddhist country has seen in years.

Despite the vows he took to lead a life of celibacy and simplicity, Wirapol had a taste for luxury, police say. His excesses first came to light in June with a YouTube video that went viral. It showed the orangerobed monk in aviator sunglasses taking a private jet ride with a Louis Vuitton carry-on.

The video sparked criticism of his un-monkly behavior and a stream of humorous headlines like, “Now boarding, Air Nirvana.”

Since then, a long list of darker secrets has emerged — including his accumulated assets of an estimated 1 billion baht ($32 million). This week, authorities issued an arrest warrant for the disgraced monk after having him defrocked in absentia.

Wirapol was in France when the scandal surfaced after leading a meditation retreat at a monastery near Provence.

He is believed to have then fled to the United States but his current whereabouts are unknown.

The arrest warrant implicates him on three charges including statutory rape, embezzlement and online fraud to seek donations. He is also under investigation for money laundering, drug

BEIRUT (AP) — Abdullah, a 9-year-old orphaned by Syria’s civil war, was piled in to van by his uncle as gunfire rattled around them. One of the last things the boy says he saw in his hometown was the uncle falling, shot, as the van full of strangers took him away on a treacherous, 3-day journey to neighboring Lebanon.

Once in Beirut, the boy fell into the hands of a criminal gang specialized in exploiting the most vulnerable victims of the conflict next door. They put him to work selling flowers and gum on the street, beating him if he didn’t bring them enough money.

The conflict that has ravaged Syria for more than 2 ½ years has hit the country’s children hard. Out of an estimated 93,000 killed, around 7,000 are children below the age of 15. Tens of thousands are believed to have been wounded. Hundreds of thousands of children have had their lives upended, fleeing their homes with their families either to different parts of Syria or abroad. Unknown numbers have been detained.

And untold numbers have witnessed violence, anything from bombardment of their neighborhoods to the sight of dead bodies fished from rivers or pulled from streets.

Syria “will have to face a generation of children who lost their childhood, have a lot of hate and are illiterate,” Leila Zerrougui, the United Nations’ special representative for children and armed conflict, said Thursday. She spoke in Beirut after a 3-day visit inside Syria, where she met with both government officials and rebel commanders fighting to topple President Bashar Assad’s regime.

Education is one of the most obvious problems from the child victims of the conflict in the country of 24 million people. A recent report by the Britain-based charity Save the Children estimated that hundreds of thousands of children have not attended school in the past two years.

It warned that the civil war is

$33,000 spent on sequestered jurors

AP Photo In this Nov. 6, 2003, file photo then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Chicago, argues during a debate on legislation about immigrant driver’s licenses on the Senate floor at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. More than a decade after he helped pass unprecedented racial profiling legislation in Illinois, President Barack Obama efforts as a young state lawmaker offer some of the clearest clues as to how Americaճ first black president feels about an issue that’s polarizing a nation roiled by the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin.

In Illinois, Obama led fight on racial profiling WASHINGTON (AP) — In 1999, a fresh-faced state senator on Chicago’s South Side heard constituents complain that police were free to pull over drivers because they were black.

So Barack Obama proposed a bill to tackle racial profiling. When it failed, he revised it and proposed it again and again.

“Race and ethnicity is not an indicator of criminal activity,” Obama said when his bill finally passed the Senate four years later. He said targeting individuals based on race was humiliating and fostered contempt in black communities.

More than a decade later, Obama’s efforts to pass groundbreaking racial profiling legislation in Illinois offer some of the clearest clues as to how America’s first black president feels about an issue that’s polarizing a nation roiled by the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin.

Obama has spoken only rarely about his own experience with incidents he perceived to be race-related. In his 2006 book “The Audacity of Hope,” he described his struggles with the injustices of “driving while black” and the vigilance he felt was still necessary for him and his family.

“I can recite the usual litany of petty slights that during my 45 years have been directed my way: security guards tailing me as I shop in depart-

ment stores, white couples who toss me their car keys as I stand outside a restaurant waiting for the valet, police cars pulling me over for no apparent reason,” Obama wrote.

Obama’s administration has treated gingerly the acquittal of George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot Martin. Burned in the past by injecting himself into racial flare-ups, Obama is wary of taking sides this time after, in his words, “a jury has spoken.”

While Martin’s family has said the teenager was racially profiled, race was barely mentioned during the nationally televised trial. Now that the state trial is over, the Justice Department is looking into Martin’s death to see whether civil rights charges can be filed. Federal prosecutors would have to show evidence Zimmerman was motivated by racial animosity to kill Martin.

The president, in his only public comments on the verdict, looked to the future, urging Americans to ask themselves how such tragedies can be prevented.

Obama cites. But as a young state senator, he and a few colleagues led a fight to require police to keep track of the demographics of drivers they pulled over — race, gender and age — then have those records analyzed to root out any patterns of bias. Diversity training was also part of the package,

and another bill Obama pushed sought to prevent wrongful convictions by requiring police to videotape interrogations for crimes like homicide.

Emil Jones Jr., the state Senate’s president at the time, said he told Obama he was counting on him to shepherd the profiling bill, part of a broader judicial overhaul involving death penalty reform that Jones said was his top priority.

“It called on him to work with legislators on both sides of the aisle,” Jones said in an interview. “There was strong opposition from law enforcement on these issues. He was skillful enough to be able to get them on board.”

One of Obama’s key arguments to woo skeptical police groups was to say his legislation could actually exonerate fair-minded officers. Those unjustly accused of racial profiling would, for the first time, have evidence to show that wasn’t the case.

Both the racial profiling and videotaped interrogations bills eventually passed through the Legislature in 2003.

When it first became law, the data showed blacks and other minorities were being pulled over about three times as often as whites, said Craig Futterman, who sits on the statewide panel that oversees the law. These days, it’s down to about twice as often, he said.

Senators ready to restore lower college loan rates WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan compromise on student loans promises better deals for students and parents over the next few years but could spell higher rates if it gets more expensive for the government to borrow money as expected.

The Senate deal shifts decisions on interest rates from the whims of Congress to the financial markets and was expected to come to a vote next week, well before students returning to campus this fall would face costs to borrow money to pay for tuition, housing and books. The deal heads off a potential doubling of rates on some students loans that would cost students an extra $2,600 if Congress did nothing.

“We have gone through weeks of negotiations and we have an agreement,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. Sen. Lamar Alexander,

R-Tenn., said students benefited: “For every one of them, the interest rates on their loans will be lower.”

At least for now. The compromise could be a good deal for students through the 2015 academic year, but then interest rates are expected to climb above where they were when students left campus in the spring.

Even in announcing the compromise, it was clear the negotiations were dicey.

“While this is not the agreement any of us would have written and many of us would like to have seen something quite different, I believe that we have come a very long way on reaching common ground,” Durbin told reporters.

Moments later, Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and

Pension Committee, said he would revisit the whole agreement this fall, when his panel takes up a rewrite of the Higher Education Act. “Can we change it? Sure, we can change it. It’s not the Ten Commandments, for God’s sake,” Harkin said.

Harkin did little to hide his unhappiness with the compromise but said there were few options to avoid a costly hike on students returning to campus this fall.

“Students are going to have a better deal than they would have had otherwise,” Harkin said.

Under the deal, all undergraduates this fall could borrow at a 3.85 percent interest rate. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would be able to borrow at 6.4 percent. Those rates would climb as the economy improves and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money.

Undergraduates last year borrowed at 3.4 percent or 6.8 percent, depending on their financial need.

Graduate students had access to federal loans at 6.8 percent and parents borrowed at 7.9 percent.

The interest rates would be linked to financial markets, but Democrats won a protection for students that rates would never climb higher than 8.25 percent for undergraduates. Graduate students would not pay rates higher than 9.5 percent, and parents’ rates would top out at 10.5 percent.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — About $33,000 was spent to sequester the six female jurors who acquitted George Zimmerman of any crime for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, according to details released Wednesday by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office spent almost 10 times that amount — $320,000 — on total costs related to the trial, including overtime and equipment.

During their three weeks of sequestration, jurors took an excursion to St. Augustine, Fla.; watched the movies “The Lone Ranger” and “World War Z;” went on bowling excursions; and saw Fourth of July fireworks.

All television, Internet use, mail and phone calls were screened and logged by deputies who provided security for them at all times. Jurors were allowed to use their cell phones once a day to check for voicemails and make calls in front of a deputy, according to the sheriff’s office.

Jurors ate most of their breakfast and dinner meals at the Marriott hotel where they stayed during sequestration. They dined out twice.

They received visits on weekends from family and friends, who had to sign an agreement promising not to discuss anything related to the case.

Despite spending 22 days together, four of the jurors have distanced themselves from statements another juror made in a televised interview.

The four jurors issued a brief statement Tuesday on court letterhead saying the opinions expressed by Juror B37 to CNN’s Anderson Cooper are not representative of their views.

“The opinions of Juror B37, expressed on the Anderson Cooper show were her own, and not in any way representative of the jurors listed below,” said the statement, signed by Jurors B51, B76, E6 and E40. The six-sentence statement did not specify what parts of the other juror’s comments they disagreed with.

Juror B37 said the actions of Zimmerman and 17-year-old Trayvon Martin both led to the teenager’s fatal shooting last year, but that Zimmerman didn’t actually break the law.

The four other jurors said in their statement that Martin’s death weighed on them.

“Serving on this jury has been a highly emotional and physically draining experience for each of us,” the statement said. “The death of a teenager weighed heavily on our hearts but in the end we did what the law required us to do.”

They also made a request for privacy. The court has not released the names of the six-woman jury, which included five whites and one woman who appeared to reporters to be Hispanic.

B37’s face was obscured by shadow during her interview.

In a statement to CNN released Wednesday, Juror B37 said she prayed for those who have the power to modify laws that gave her “no verdict option other than ‘not guilty’ in order to remain within the instructions.”

Juror B37 had an agreement with a literary agent to explore a book deal. But under pressure from critics in social media, that relationship ended when she realized the emotions tied to the case once she was out of the bubble of sequestration, she said.

“My prayers are with Trayvon’s parents for their loss, as they have always been,” she said.

Court officials also released the questionnaire given to potential jurors on Wednesday. The six-question form asks if they had heard about Martin or Zimmerman; if they had formed an opinion as to Zimmerman’s guilt or innocence; and if they could put aside any opinion they had formed and focus only on the evidence presented in testimony.

Juror B37’s interview came two days after the jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Martin in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. Martin was black, and Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic. Zimmerman was not arrested for 44 days, and the delay in charging him led to protests from those who believed race was a factor in the handling of the case.

While prosecutors accused Zimmerman of profiling Martin, Zimmerman maintained he acted in self-defense. He claimed Martin was slamming his head into the concrete sidewalk when he fired the gun.

Pilots challenged by monitoring automated cockpit systems WASHINGTON (AP) — Airline pilots spend nearly all their time monitoring automated cockpit systems rather than “handflying” planes, but their brains aren’t wired to continually pay close attention to instruments that rarely fail or show discrepancies.

As a result, pilots may see but not register signs of trouble, a problem that is showing up repeatedly in accidents and may have been a factor in the recent crash landing of a South Korean airliner in San Francisco, industry and government experts say.

Teaching pilots how to effectively monitor instruments has become as important as teaching them basic “stick-and-rudder” flying skills, a panel of experts told an annual safety conference of the Air Line Pilots Association, the world’s largest pilots union, on Wednesday.

“The human brain just isn’t very well designed to monitor for an event that very rarely happens,” said Key Dismukes, a former top NASA human factors scientist.

While people “do very well” at actively controlling a plane, “we’re not well designed

to monitor for a little alphanumeric (a combination of alphabet letters and numbers) on the panel even if that alphanumeric tells us something important,” he said. “We can’t just sit there and stare at the instruments.”

The “sheer volume of monitoring required even on the most routine flights and the diversity” of systems that must be monitored has increased, he said.

Concern about the problem is great enough that government, union and industry safety officials formed a working group last fall to come up with a blueprint for teaching pilots techniques for how to overcome the brain’s natural tendency to sometimes see but disregard important information. For example, if pilots see airspeed indicators showing appropriate speeds landing after landing, their brains may filter out an unexpected low or high speed, they said.

“The human brain filters out information it considers unchanging,” said Helena Reidemar, an airline pilot and the pilots union’s director of human factors.

7 Creole Stomp to take over Prouty Plaza July 19, 2013

Troy Daily News • www.troydailynews.com

TROY — Thousands of miles from the Louisiana bayou, Prouty Plaza will sound as though it is jutting up out of the swampland on Aug. 2 when Dennis Stroughmatt and Creole Stomp take the stage.

The band, proclaimed by the Taste La Festival in Iowa as “arguably the best band from outside Louisiana to play its music,” tours the country in hopes to bring the long running tradition of Mississippi River valley music to the thousands. This particular blend of creole music combines the essence of traditional Louisiana Cajun two-steps with Creole blues. Each performance not only entertains but educates on the history and explanation of Cajun and Creole culture, a history of the songs performed, and some bilingual translations.

Front man and French Creole speaking fiddler and accordionist Dennis Stroughmatt spent several years researching the distinct Southern Creole

culture. Stroughmatt visited the regions along the Mississippi River south of St. Louis and discovered a rich history and culture fused within their traditional music. He learned to play fiddle and sing in French Creole, eventually gaining the experience he needed to form Creole Stomp and travel the country entertaining and enlightening concert goers with this distinct cultural music.

The five-piece band has garnered both national and international attention performing throughout the United States and Canada alike. Their blending of musical styles offers something for everyone and is sure to get audiences on their feet and dancing.

Dennis Stroughmatt and Creole Stomp is presented being presented by Troy Main Street.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Emmy ceremony will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris. It will air Sept. 22 on CBS.

Internet shows muscle by making Emmy history LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Emmy Awards are television’s biggest celebration of itself, but this year’s ceremony will face an intruder: “House of Cards,” the first online series to nab a top nomination with its best drama series bid Thursday.

Netflix’s triumph, which includes nods for its revival of “Arrested Development,” is putting a further squeeze on the broadcast networks that already have lost substantial Emmy ground to cable.

New network offerings were almost completely shut out and, like last year, no network drama made the nominations cut.

Kevin Spacey, the nominated star of the political drama “House of Cards,” reveled in its impressive nine bids and role as a groundbreaker.

It’s “really, in many ways, kind of a new paradigm,” he said. “It’s just a great, great thing for all of us.”

The major networks, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, likely have a different viewpoint.

Cable channels over the year have sharply eroded their share of the audience, and now the Internet is nibbling away and will only become more robust as viewers turn increasingly to computers

and other devices to consume video.

A 6-year-old TV academy rules change allows online entries to compete with cable and broadcast programs, but until Thursday online shows popped up only in lower-profile categories.

“It’s really groundbreaking,” said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer for Netflix.

“It’s beyond our most bold expectations. We were thinking a single nomination would

be a win… It’s as much a win for Internet television as it is for the content creators.”

Networks still field the most-watched series — such as top-rated series “NCIS” and the 20 million-plus viewers it delivers weekly to CBS — and enjoy the rich opportunities they represent.

“There’s nothing more profitable than having a big broadcast television hit that can be exploited on multiple platforms,” including syndica-

tion and online, said Garth Ancier, a former executive for both broadcast networks and cable.

But when the Emmys are presented this fall on CBS, it will surely be irritating to serve as a promotional vehicle for the competition. The ceremony rotates among the big four broadcasters who, with the exception of basically flat NBC, saw their number of Emmy bids decline this year.

Besides the showing by Netflix, the leading number of nominations went to a cable miniseries, FX’s “American Horror Story: Asylum.” HBO fielded the next top nominees: “Game of Thrones” with 16 nods and the Liberace biopic “Behind the Candelabra” earned 15 nominations.

NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” came in with 15 as well, but it, outgoing “30 Rock” (also NBC, 13 bids) and “Modern Family” (ABC, 12 nominations) had the only impressive tallies for broadcast.

The bonanza of nominations for “Game of Thrones” is the swords-and-fantasy show’s most-ever and includes a best drama series nod and three acting bids, including one for Peter Dinklage.

On this date: In 1553, King Henry VIII’s daughter Mary was proclaimed Queen of England after pretender Lady Jane Grey was deposed.

In 1812, during the War of 1812, the First Battle of Sackets Harbor in Lake Ontario resulted in an American victory as U.S. naval forces repelled a British attack.

In 1979, the Nicaraguan capital of Managua fell to Sandinista guerrillas, two days after President Anastasio Somoza fled the country.

In 1980, the Moscow Summer Olympics began, minus dozens of nations that were boycotting the games because of the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan.

Relief from worst heat on the horizon

NEW YORK (AP) — Cooler temperatures are within sight but likely not soon enough and cool enough for a large swath of the country hit with dangerously high temperatures for days as the largest heat wave of the summer failed to budge from South Dakota to Massachusetts.

The relief is expected to begin arriving Thursday in some regions of the country as a cold front drops south from Canada. But it is not soon enough for others. New York City, for instance, is bracing for another day of temperatures in the high 90s.

Cooler temperatures are likely to sweep through the Midwest and into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions by Saturday. They might be accompanied by severe thunderstorms.

The largest heat wave of the summer has stagnated over large regions, bringing sizzling temperatures and little hope of relief without rain, a growing possibility for some hard-hit areas as the weekend approaches.

Most states in the U.S. had at least one region where the temperature hit 90 degrees Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service, though the worst heat was in the Midwest to Northeast. Humid air just made it all feel worse, with heat indexes in some places over 100.

It was hot enough to buckle highway pavement in several states. Firefighters in Indianapolis evacuated 300 people from a senior living community after a power outage knocked out the air conditioning.

The state of Illinois opened cooling centers. The Environmental Protection Agency said the heat was contributing to air pollution in New England.

Officials are blaming hot weather for at least one death. A 78-year-old Alzheimer’s patient died of heat exhaustion after wandering away from his northern Kentucky home Tuesday in temperatures that rose to 93 degrees.

In New York City, where it was 96 degrees, sidewalk food vendor Ahmad Qayumi said that by 11 a.m., the cramped space inside his steel-walled cart got so hot that he had to turn off his grill and coffee machine.

“It was just too hot. I couldn’t breathe,” he said, turning away a customer who asked for a hamburger. “Just cold drinks,” he said.

S. California fire forces evacuation of mountain town HEMET, Calif. (AP) — A wildfire in the Southern California mountains shut down the famed Pacific Crest Trail and was threatening a popular tourist destination Thursday, forcing the evacuation of an estimated 6,000 residents and tourists.

The blaze about 100 miles east of Los Angeles had grown to more than 35 square miles in size and

had destroyed at least six houses and mobile homes.

Tensions heightened late Wednesday after winds shifted, causing the fire to change course and head in the direction of Idyllwild, an artist community and hiking destination in the San Jacinto Mountains.

By midday, flames wreathed a ridge above the town and were about 2 to 3 miles away, fire offi-

cials said.

Lewis Millett left behind his three-story home Wednesday after hearing the evacuation order on the radio.

“It’s never been this bad, and it’s never been this close,” Millett, 61, said as he sat on a cot in an evacuation center in Hemet, a nearby community. “I have high anxiety.”

Millett and his wife gathered up his paintings, sculptures and prized family heirlooms, including a Medal of Honor given to his father in 1951 and several autographed pictures signed by U.S. presidents.

An artist, he has lived in the area for three decades.

“It’s like an island in this beautiful forest,” Millett said. “It’s a great place to live.”

Fire officials said the blaze was just 15 percent contained and had been growing in a manner that was unlike what they typically experience. Tina Rose, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said the behavior was extreme.

“Usually it cools down at night and we get more humidity. That hasn’t happened,” she said. “It’s been burning like it’s daytime for 72 hours in a row.”

Nearly 3,000 firefighters and more than a dozen aircraft were assigned to the fire. Authorities said two large firefighting aircraft from the California Air National Guard were ready to help on request.

Each C-130J can drop up to 3,000 gallons of water or fire retardant, accord-

ing to the state Office of Emergency Services.

The fire was churning through thick, dry brush and scattered trees in an area above 5,000 feet.

The area immediately surrounding Idyllwild is much more thickly forested and has not burned in decades.

The fire has shut down popular campgrounds and hiking trails, including some 30 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail that runs 2,650 miles from Mexico to the Canadian border and connecting trails in the area, according to a website of the Pacific Crest Trail Association.

“That’s going right down the middle of the fire,” U.S. Forest Service spokesman Norma Bailey said of the trail.

Any hikers going into

the forest “would be stuck,” she added.

Firefighters using picks and shovels to dig firebreaks were expected to significantly tear up the trail and “a lot of rehab” will be necessary, Bailey said.

Fire crews struggled to carve fire lines around Idyllwild to block the flames, which fire officials and residents estimated at times were 100 feet high.

Roughly 4,100 houses, hotels, condos and cabins in Idyllwild and surrounding communities were threatened.

Idyllwild resident Karin Hedstrom, 84, had time to gather only her medication and important paperwork before she evacuated.

“I want to know my home is OK,” said

Hedstrom, who first visited the community on her honeymoon in 1958.

“I don’t want ashes when I come home.”

The fire was about 12 miles from the site of the 2006 Esperanza wildfire, which killed five U.S. Forest Service firefighters and destroyed 34 homes.

Wildfires were also scarring the landscape in other western states.

In Arizona, park officials were monitoring three small lightning-sparked blazes on the Grand Canyon’s north rim. Crews in northeastern Nevada had two separate wildfires 15 percent surrounded Thursday, while a southern Nevada fire that had chased people from their Mount Charleston homes was nearly corralled.

Zach Johnson leads at sunny Muirfield, Woods lurks GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — Zach Johnson and Tiger Woods sure know how to start the British Open.

Now, they’ve got to show they can finish.

Bouncing back from a tough loss last weekend, Johnson opened with a 5-under 66 on a sunny Thursday at Muirfield — another brilliant start after a 65 at Lytham last year.

“I don’t know what the secret is,” Johnson said.

Can he keep it going? A year ago, the 2007 Masters champion followed up with a 74 on the way to a ninth-place finish.

“This game demands resilience,” Johnson said. “That just comes with experience.”

Woods has plenty of experi-

After five grueling hours of riding, as he strained and sweated to victory in an eyepopping Tour de France stage with crowds that turned cycling’s most famous climb into a huge and raucous high-mountain party, Christophe Riblon didn’t want it to stop.

Winning a Tour stage is always special.

Becoming the first French stage winner at the 100th Tour was doubly special.

Getting the job done Post 43 tops Lima, now faces Post 184 for title

By Colin Foster

Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

The Troy Post 43 pitching staff began to struggle throwing strikes midway through the game Thursday, allowing Lima Post 96 close the gap.

But Post 43 had enough pop in its bats to get the job done.

After mounting little offensive in the first two innings, Post 43 cranked out a three-run third and followed with a fourrun fourth to build a 7-0 lead. From there, Post 43 held on for a 9-4 victory at Duke Park in Troy.

The win sets up a district legion tournament final date with Piqua Post 184, a 3-0 winner over Post 43 Wednesday evening, Friday night at 7 p.m. at Duke Park in Troy.

“We’ll be looking forward to it,” Troy Post 43 coach Frosty Brown said. “We know it will be a dog fight like it usually is.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Four years after the Cincinnati Bengals were featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” show, coach Marvin Lewis still hears about his profane tirade to his team after a poor preseason game.

The Bengals are ready to get the NFL talking about them again.

NFL Films crews started shooting video on Thursday for the first episode of the show, which follows a team through training camp. The Bengals are the second team to be featured twice during the show’s eight seasons — the Dallas Cowboys also made a second appearance.

Cincinnati had quarterback Carson Palmer and receiver Chad Johnson — then going by the last name of Ochocinco — when it was on the 2009 show. “Hard Knocks” won two Emmy Awards that year for editing and production.

Ross Ketover, an executive producer for the show, presented Lewis with one of the show’s Emmys on Thursday.

“It’s not really the trophy that we’re actually striving for,” Lewis said, laughing, “but we’ve got some accomplishments to do along the way. But that’s awesome.”

Many teams refuse to do “Hard Knocks” because it shows interactions between players, coaches and front-office managers in otherwise private moments. The Bengals had a few such moments during the 2009 show.

One of the lasting lines was delivered by Lewis in the locker room after a preseason loss. Unhappy with a ragged performance, Lewis berated his team as the cameras rolled and screamed at the players to “reach down inside and be a (profanity) pro.”

Lewis regretted that the moment was shown on television. He said on Thursday that he still gets comments about it.

PEDs, Pirates and Puig headline 2nd half in MLB By the Associated Press

A win for France

ence winning majors — he’s got 14 of ‘em — but it’s been more than five years since he captured the last one, the longest drought of his career in the tournaments that matter most.

Woods also got off to a strong start, posting an impressive 69 in the increasingly difficult conditions of the afternoon.

Don’t get too worked up about his chances just yet, however. He shot 67 in the opening round at each of his last two Opens, only to watch someone else leave with the claret jug. Woods faded to 23rd at St. Andrews in 2010, skipped a year

Much of the focus as baseball heads into the second half is on the possible suspensions of Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and a handful of All-Stars implicated in the Biogenesis performance enhancing drug scandal.

Puigmania, a Pirates revival and one impressive power show in Baltimore may shift the gaze back onto the field, where there will be a lot to watch headed down the stretch of the regular season.

Fans who have been celebrating Mariano Rivera at every stop of his farewell tour should get a chance to watch returning stars Derek Jeter, Chris Carpenter, A-Rod and even Manny Ramirez after a first half dominated by 20-somethings.

The American League won the All-Star game on Tuesday

night, giving home-field advantage in the World Series back to the junior circuit after three years of NL dominance.

Now the race is on to get to the Fall Classic, and some underachieving preseason favorites are looking to make their moves.

Every playoff spot is legitimately up for grabs, with no team leading a division by more than a half-dozen games. And the NL East, where Atlanta is up six on Washington, is the only place where the division leader is ahead by three games or more.

What to look for in the second half, that begins Friday: • Clock Is Ticking …

— The Washington Nationals need a healthy Bryce Harper to get into a groove and help them chase down Atlanta.

— The big-spending

Dodgers are suddenly surging, 17-5 since June 22, thanks to the youthful exuberance of Yasiel Puig, with a smile to match that of owner Magic Johnson.

— North of the border, the Blue Jays made the biggest offseason moves but NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey’s knuckleball has been mostly off-target and Toronto finds itself in last place in the powerful AL East. But don’t count anyone out in what’s widely considered the toughest division in the majors.

— Pedro Alvarez and the Pittsburgh Pirates appear poised to put 20 years of misery behind them, after two years of teasing their fans by being in the hunt heading into the break only to fade down the stretch. With the Houston Astros now in the AL, the NL Central is one of the most

competitive divisions.

Reds manager Dusty Baker knew it would be a stiffer challenge this year.

“I figured it’d be close, closer, because none of us have the Astros in our division that we were counting on — not to malign them — but they were in our division last year and every team kind of counted on beating them,” he said. “Now you’ve got to beat each other.”

— So far it’s only been California dreamin’ for Josh Hamilton in his first year in Los Angeles, even with Houston in the division. He’ll have to improve on his .224 average, .413 slugging percentage for the Angels to have a shot to overtake Home Run Derby champ Yoenis Cespedes and the pesky A’s. Albert Pujols’ ballclub is 11 games back in the AL West and nine games behind for the wild card.

Doing all this in front of hundreds of thousands of screaming fans, several rows deep up 21 steep hairpin bends in the Alps, well, Riblon wanted the pleasure to last and last.

“It was as if the crowds were carrying me. Magical,” Riblon said. “The last kilometer (half-mile) wasn’t long enough. I so would have liked to have profited more from that moment with the crowds. It was incredible. I would have liked for it to go on for 10 kilometers (six miles) like that.”

In a Tour that has offered a kaleidoscope of racing drama and scenic beauty from its June 29 start point on the French island of Corsica, this Stage 18 was the one that most set hearts racing and tongues wagging when organizers unveiled

stop at third to get an out in the top of the second, then Mitchell flashed a little leather with a diving catch in right a few moments later. With two on in the second, Baumgardner forced a ground out at third to avoid disaster once again. Baumgardner did it once again in the away fourth with runners on first and second and one out. He K’d up the final two batters to finish off the inning unscathed.

Lima, however, started hitting the ball in the fifth, scoring two runs, which spelled the end for the Post 43 starter.

Trenton Wood, the eventual winning pitcher, struck out two with the bases loaded in the fifth to avert disaster.

Pitcher Hunter Gleadell came on in the sixth and finished off the game for the save. He ended the day with five strikeouts.

Post 43 added some insurance in the eighth, thanks to walks by Lima pitchers. After Mitchell was walked, Nealeigh doubled, before Antonides was intentionally walked. Ryan Lavy was walked to bring in Mitchell, then Zach Thompson walked home another run.

The gamble could have backfired horribly had a rider plunged off a missed bend. But feared storms didn’t materialize, so the roads didn’t become overly treacherous. The racing proved engrossing.

When their bodies and minds are already sapped by more than two weeks of racing, it sent the riders not once but twice up the legendary climb to the ski station of L’Alpe d’Huez.

Between the two ascents, the route hared down a sinewy, narrow and risky descent with no safety barri-

injuries, and tied for third at Lytham.

This one didn’t begin so well for the world’s top-ranked player. Woods yanked his very first shot off a lone tree far left of the fairway and was forced to take an unplayable lie, leading to bogey.

But a stretch of three birdies in four holes after the turn moved Woods into contention, and he added another two-putt birdie at the par-5 17th set up by a couple of iron shots that just kept rolling and roll-

ing on turf that played more like a tabletop.

“It was tough,” Woods said. “The golf course progressively got more dried out and more difficult as we played. I’m very pleased to shoot anything even par or better.”

Rory McIlroy, ranked No. 2 in the world, is still trying to recapture the form he showed last August, when he won his second major title with a runaway victory at the PGA Championship.
