Sharing the pain Camp helps children deal with their grief

By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

Deadly derailment won’t stop oil on trains NEW YORK (AP) — A train loaded with crude oil could soon roll through a town near you.

A fiery and fatal train derailment earlier this month in Quebec, near the Maine border, highlighted the danger of moving oil by rail. But while the practice could be made safer, it won’t be stopped in its tracks.

Obama: Martin ‘could have been me’ 35 years ago

Beating the heat

“Now is our opportunity to stop 60 years of decline,” he said.

Still, Kevin Frederick, an admissions representative for a local career training school, called the step “an embarrassment.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama grappled with the Trayvon Martin case in the most personal of terms on Friday, telling Americans that the slain youth “could have been me 35 years ago” and urging them to do some soul searching about their attitudes on race.

The nation’s first black president said the nation needs to look for ways to move forward after the shooting and trial in Florida. And he said it may be time to take a hard look at “stand your ground” self-defense laws, questioning whether they contribute “to the kind of peace and security and order that we’d like to see.”

“Where do we take this?”

Obama wondered aloud during an unscheduled appearance in the White House briefing room. “How do we learn some lessons from this and move in a positive direction?”

His appearance marked his first extended comments on the Martin case since neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was acquitted last weekend of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in Martin’s death last year. Jurors found that Zimmerman was acting in self-defense when he shot the unarmed black teenager.

Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic.

Obama said that as people process the verdict, it’s important to put the pained and angry reaction of many African-Americans into context.

Protests and demonstrations, he said, are understandable, adding that “some of that stuff is just going to have to work its way through — as long as it remains nonviolent.”

“It’s important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn’t go away,” he said.

The president said that distrust shadows AfricanAmerican men: They sometimes are closely followed when they shop at department stores; they can draw nervous stares on elevators and hear car locks clicking when they walk down the street — experiences that he said he personally felt before becoming a well-known figure.

“It’s inescapable for people to bring those experiences to bear,” he said.

Aurora, Newtown survivors honor theater victims

AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Survivors of mass shootings in Colorado and Connecticut were among those gathered Friday in a suburban Denver park to honor those killed in the massacre at an Aurora movie theater a year after the attack.

Vigil participants read a list of names of those killed in recent gun violence around the nation and talked about the pain of losing loved ones as they called for strict federal gun control laws.

Long-suffering Detroit finally turns to bankruptcy DETROIT (AP) — At the height of its industrial power, Detroit was an irrepressible engine of the American economy, offering well-paying jobs, a gateway to the middle class for generations of autoworkers and affordable vehicles that put the world on wheels.

But now the once-mighty symbol of the nation’s manufacturing strength had fallen into financial ruin, becoming the biggest U.S. city ever to file for bankruptcy — the result of a long, slow decline in population and auto manufacturing.

Although the filing had been feared for months, the path that lay ahead was still uncertain.

Bankruptcy could mean laying off employees, selling off assets, raising fees and scaling back basic services such as trash collection and snow plowing, which have already been slashed.

Gov. Rick Snyder said Friday that the bankruptcy process would allow for improvements to the city, with a greater emphasis on public safety and other city services, which he acknowledged have long been “unacceptable.”

Detroit became the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy on Thursday, when state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr asked a federal judge for municipal bankruptcy protection.

He said it also should offer — for better or worse — a more certain path for creditors, who don’t know how much or whether they will be paid. The process, he said, would clarify that “this is a debt that can be paid and will be paid,” he said.

Coroner: Teen in Asiana crash killed by vehicle SAN MATEO, Calif. (AP) — As the wreckage of Asiana Flight 214 burned, Ye Meng Yuan was lying on the ground just 30 feet away, buried by the firefighting foam rescue workers were spraying to douse the flames.

No one knows exactly how the 16-year-old Chinese student got to that spot, but one thing is clear now: She was alive.

In the chaotic moments that followed — flames devouring the fuselage, those aboard escaping by emer-

gency slides, flight attendants frantically cutting away seat belts to free passengers — an emergency vehicle ran over Yuan, killing her.

The new details — released Friday by the coroner’s office — compounded the tragedy for her family and confirmed the growing suspicions that emergency workers have had since soon after the July 6 crash: One of the three who died did so by rescuers’ actions.

“There’s not a lot of words to

describe how badly we feel, how sorry we feel,” said San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White.

Yuan’s family was upset after learning the details of their daughter’s death and wants her body returned to China, San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said. “It was a difficult conversation,” he said.

Hayes-White said she was trying to arrange a meeting with them and that the “tragic accident” would prompt a review of how the fire department uses

the foam and responds to emergencies at the airport.

“There’s always room for us to evaluate and improve our response,” she said. “(There’s) very unfortunate news today. However, many, many lives were saved and we made a valiant effort to do so on July 6.”

In a statement, the Chinese Consulate called on authorities to determine responsibility for Yuan’s death. HayesWhite said she did not immediately foresee any disciplinary action.

Camp

BUSINESS ROUNDUP

n Continued from page 1 Games and activities, along with arts and crafts, were just part of the therapy of the bereavement camp as children learn how to honor and remember loved ones that have passed on.

A new craft this year were large cardboard cars, big enough for some campers to take naps inside, which attach meaning to each part of the “car.”

Volunteer Laura Jackson explained that the wheels of the car have lessons they’ve learned from their loved ones, bumper stickers for memories and finally a steering wheel to symbolize “to drive off in the future.”

Keara Stace, 7, of Fletcher said her favorite activity at the camp was making the cardboard cars.

“They are just fun to make,” Stace said. “I like sitting in it.”

On the wheels of Stace’s car, her father David passed away last summer, were the lessons he had taught her including: how to fish, always be nice to everyone, how to work hard and to look both ways before crossing the street.

Activities such as the cardboard cars, memory stones and pillow cases and quilts with memory messages were part of the memorializing activities of the camp.

Susan Adkins, the director of the camp through Hospice of Miami County, said she enjoys see the children connect with the more than 35 staff and nursing students from Edison State Community College during the week-long camp. Four former campers came back this year as counselors.

“It’s great to see those who

Hospice of Miami County nurse Mary Coulter answers questions with a group of campers Thursday at Rolling Hills Girl Scout Camp in Pleasant Hill.

used to be campers, come back as counselors and share their stories and experiences,” Adkins said.

Maggie Steineman, 20, of Troy, was a Camp Courageous participant after losing her father at the age of 11. Now, Steineman said she’s a nursing student and came back to the camp to help children through the process.

“I still have the cement stone I made at camp, it’s at (my father’s) grave,” Steineman said. “I still have my pillow too.”

Steineman also said she feels like she can connect with the campers who have lost a loved one at a young age.

“I thought I could relate to the kids a little bit better,” she said.

“I know the feelings that they are going through.”

Heather Skaggs, 20, of Troy, came to Camp Courageous after losing her father at the age of 13.

“I know what it was like to lose

a parent or loved one so I wanted to come back to relate to them like no one else can,” Skaggs said. “It was really cool to come back and help these kids because I’m still dealing with it.”

It was the second year to attend Camp Courageous for Ryan Strunk of Sidney.

The 10 year-old said he liked being at a place where other children his age have experience loss.

“I met a couple people that also lost their dad,” Strunk said. “So they know what I mean when I told them about my dad. I like that there are other people know what I mean when I talk about him.

Qurri Tucker, 13, of Piqua said he liked making a memory stone in honor of his grandfather.

“We liked to fish just because it was fun,” Tucker said. “I’ve met a whole bunch of new people and I’m having a lot of fun.”

Generations of Life, a service of Hospice of Miami County, offers Camp Courageous, a week-long day camp for children entering grades K-6 who are experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one.

At Camp Courageous, children experience traditional camp activities such as swimming and recreation along with bereavement education and activities geared to help them process their grief.

In addition to trained bereavement counselors, children will be assigned a Camp Companion who will be at their side throughout the week. Snacks and lunches provided each day, and there is always trained medical staff on duty.

Camp Courageous is offered as at no charge to families of participants due to grants, fundraising, private donations and United Way support.

Obama

n Continued from page 1 Obama said black Americans recognize a history of racial disparities in how laws are applied on the death penalty and involving drug cases, but he also said the African-American community was not “naive about the fact that African-American young men are dispro-

portionately involved in the criminal justice system, that they’re disproportionately both victims and perpetrators of violence.”

The president said it’s time “for all of us to do some soul searching,” though he said it’s generally not productive when politicians try to orches-

trate a national conversation that ends up being stilted and politicized.

He added that conversations within families and at churches and workplaces, where people may be more honest, could help people to ask themselves, “Am I wringing as much bias out of myself as I can?”

Overall, Obama said, race relations in the United States actually are getting better. Citing his own daughters and their interactions with friends, the president said, “They’re better than we are. They’re better than we were.”

“Each successive generation seems to be mak-

ing progress in changing attitudes when it comes to race,” he said.

The president declined to wade into the detail of legal questions about the Florida case, saying, “Once the jury’s spoken, that’s how our system works.”

But he said state and local laws, such as

Florida’s “stand your ground” statute, need a close look.

Obama said it would be useful “to examine some state and local laws to see if they are designed in such a way that they may encourage the kinds of confrontation” that led to Martin’s death.

ney in Fox-Rothschild’s San Francisco office, “they don’t have to pay anyone they don’t want to. And no one can sue them.”

The city’s woes have piled up for generations.

In the 1950s, its population grew to 1.8 million people, many of whom were lured by plentiful, well-paying auto jobs.

Later that decade, Detroit began to decline as developers started building suburbs that lured away workers and businesses.

Then beginning in the late 1960s, auto companies began opening plants in other cities. Property values and tax revenue fell, and police couldn’t control crime. In later years, the rise of autos imported from Japan started to cut the size of the U.S. auto industry.

By the time the auto industry melted down in 2009, only a few factories

from GM and Chrysler were left. GM is the only one with headquarters in Detroit, though it has huge research and testing centers with thousands of jobs outside the city.

Detroit lost a quartermillion residents between 2000 and 2010. Today, the population struggles to stay above 700,000.

The result is a metropolis where whole neighborhoods are practically deserted and basic services cut off in places.

Looming over the crumbling landscape is a budget deficit believed to be more than $380 million and long-term debt that could be as much as $20 billion.

In recent months, the city has relied on statebacked bond money to meet payroll for its 10,000 employees.

Orr made the filing in federal bankruptcy court under Chapter 9, the

bankruptcy system for cities and counties.

He was unable to persuade a host of creditors, unions and pension boards to take pennies on the dollar to help with the city’s massive financial restructuring. If the bankruptcy filing is approved, city assets could be liquidated to satisfy demands for payment.

Two public employee pension systems are the top unsecured creditors, according to bankruptcy documents. The city General Retirement System’s claim is just more than $2 billion.

The Police and Fire Retirement System is owed more than $1.4 billion. The documents filed also show more than 100,000 creditors that include individual retirees, city workers, banks, other businesses, property owners and litigants, though amounts owed

aren’t listed.

Orr said Thursday that he “bent over backward” to work with creditors, rejecting criticism that he was too rigid. “Anybody who takes that position just hasn’t been listening.”

The bankruptcy could last through summer or fall 2014, which coincides with the end of Orr’s 18-month appointment, he said.

Snyder determined earlier this year that Detroit was in a financial emergency and without a plan for improvement. He made it the largest U.S. city to fall under state oversight when a state loan board hired Orr. Creditors and public servants “deserve to know what promises the city can and will keep,” Snyder wrote in a letter that was part of the filing. “The only way to do those things is to radical-

ly restructure the city and allow it to reinvent itself without the burden of impossible obligations.”

A turnaround specialist, Orr represented automaker Chrysler LLC during its successful restructuring. He issued a warning early on in his tenure in Detroit that bankruptcy was a road he preferred to avoid.

Some city workers and retirement systems filed lawsuits to prevent Snyder from approving Orr’s bankruptcy request, said Detroit-area turnaround specialist James McTevia.

They have argued that bankruptcy could change pension and retiree benefits, which are guaranteed under state law.

Others are concerned that a bankrupt Detroit will cause businesses large and small to reconsider their operations in the city.

Detroit

n Continued from page 1 “I guess we have to take a couple of steps backward to move forward,” Frederick said.

Now city and state leaders must confront the challenge of rebuilding Detroit’s broken budget in as little as a year.

Kevyn Orr, a bankruptcy expert hired by the state in March to stop Detroit’s fiscal free-fall, said Detroit would continue to pay its bills and employees.

But, said Michael Sweet, a bankruptcy attor-

Trustees to put fire renewal levy on ballot For the Troy Daily News

Monroe Township Trustees declared at their July 15 meeting the intention to levy a renewal tax for fire protection services beginning in the tax year of 2014 and extending through tax years 2015 and 2016.

This three-year renewal fire levy will retain the same property valuation as the current levy and will be collected in the calendar years of 20152017.

A second resolution will be addressed next month after the Miami County Auditor’s Office responds to this request by the board.

In other resolutions passed at their Monday evening board meeting, the trustees paid bills totaling $24,792.05, and accepted the mainte-

nance process for state approved disposal of the township’s fiscal office public records. The board is also looking into a private property fence line issue on South Peters Road, the parking of commercial vehicles on township roads, and the next step for a new section to be added at Maple Hill Cemetery.

Township maintenance staff has been busy with cleanup efforts after a recent wind storm that affected trees along township roads and at Maple Hill Cemetery, and various air conditioning issues at the township building. The crew has also repaired several small sink holes on Carline and Curtwood drives, and completed flowerbed cleanup, mowing

and trimming at township properties.

The trustees will be attending a Tri Agency meeting, between the trustees, city of Tipp City and Tipp City Board of Education at 6 p.m. July 29. The city of Tipp City will be hosting this quarterly session.

As a reminder, the next Miami County Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off will be from 2-6 p.m. Aug. 7 at the Miami County Sanitary Engineering facility, 2200 N. County Road 25-A in Troy.

For more information on cost and items for proper disposal, call the Sanitary Engineering Office at 440-3488.

The township trustees will next meet at 7 p.m.

Edison offers math refresher workshop PIQUA — Edison Community College will be offering a math refresher workshop this summer at the Piqua Campus to meet the needs of aspiring college students and those looking to improve their math skills.

The workshop will be from 2:30-5 p.m. July 29 through Aug. 1 in Room 456, and will cover basic math and beginning and intermediate algebra.

Register for this four-day workshop through the Business & Industry Department at the Piqua campus.

Those signing up for the workshop are strongly encouraged to attend all four sessions, as the material being taught will change from day to day.

“These short, intensive classes are designed for students who took the COMPASS test and weren’t happy with the results and want another chance at improving their score,” said Terry Calvert, instructor of mathematics at Edison. “This is also a perfect

opportunity for people just looking to refresh their math skills. Anyone who hasn’t done a lot of mathematical work in a long time and just needs to see it again to get reacquainted with it will benefit greatly from this workshop.”

To register for the workshop, visit www.edisonohio.edu/training and click on Register for Courses.

For more information, contact Terry Calvert at tcalvert@edisonohio.edu.

Snooty the manatee celebrates 65th birthday BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Snooty the manatee was born when Harry S. Truman was president, Columbia records had just released its 33 1/3 LP format, and people were still talking about how the NBC television network had broadcast Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in its entirety.

Life in America, of course, has changed.

But Snooty is still around, entertaining visitors, munching on lettuce and swimming silently in his tank at the South Florida Museum in Bradenton.

Sunday is his 65th birthday, and to mark the occasion the museum will host a free party Saturday.

He’s the oldest manatee in captivity and possibly one of the oldest ever, experts say.

“If you lived in a pool where people gave you a bath and fed you lettuce by hand and you had no other predators and the water was always a nice warm temperature, you’d be living long too,” said Brynne Anne Besio, executive director of the South Florida Museum.

“He’s protected, he’s safe, he has a great diet, he has regular medical care, and so he’s got all the odds for him in terms of living long.”

Snooty, who is in good health, eats about 80

pounds of lettuce and vegetables every day to sustain his 1,000 pound body. He shares a tank with two smaller manatees that are being rehabilitated for cold stress.

And lately, he appears thrilled to greet his visitors from the media.

“He loves cameras,”

said Marilyn Margold, the museum’s aquarium director. Indeed, on a recent day, Snooty glided from his deep tank to a shallow medical tank and hoisted his torso above the water so he could sling a flipper onto the edge of the pool. When he spotted a video cam-

era, he slowly inched forward toward its lens.

Snooty has been invaluable over the decades for education and conservation purposes, said Robert Bonde, a research biologist and manatee expert for the United States Geological Survey in Gainesville.

“Every year we celebrate a birthday for Snooty, it sets a new records as far as the aging potential for manatees,” he said.

Bonde said that among the wild manatee carcasses found in Florida, research showed the oldest was 53 — yet the

average manatee only lives to be about 13 due to man-made threats and environmental stressors, such as cold weather.

Although Snooty is the longest lived manatee in captivity, it’s entirely possible that they could live just as long in the wild if they didn’t face threats like boat propellers, said Bonde.

“It’s tough to be a manatee in Florida,” he said.

Manatees are evolutionary relatives of both elephants and dugongs (a manatee-like creature that lives mostly in waters near Australia). Both of those are long lived, said Bonde, so it makes sense that manatees would be as well.

Over the years, some have claimed that Snooty has been replaced by younger manatees.

Museum officials laugh at the tales.

“That was a popular thing to do years ago: if you lose one marine mammal, you’d get another one and just give it the same name,” said Margold. “In our particular case, it’s not true. Snooty has two scars on his side from some abscesses that were removed over 30 years ago, and that’s a real strong identification.

Also he has a very predominant tail. And those two things are giveaways that it’s the same Snooty.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — A compromise deal on student loans that could hold down loan rates in the short term was expected to come to a vote next week, well before students returning to campus this fall have to sign their loan agreements.

While the deal could lower rates for students and parents over the next few years, it could spell higher rates as the economy improves.

The Senate deal pegs the interest rates on new loans to the financial markets. Under the deal, undergraduates this fall could borrow at a 3.9 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.

The compromise undoes the doubling of rates on some student loans that took hold on July 1, and one analysis of the Senate deal suggests incoming freshmen would save more than $3,300 in interest.

“We have gone through weeks of negotiations and we have an agreement,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama was “glad to see that a compromise seems to be coming together.”

And 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 Pensions Committee, said he would revisit the whole agreement this fall, when his panel takes up a rewrite of the Higher Education Act. 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.

As part of the compromise, Democrats won a protection for students that capped rates at a maximum 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.

Using Congressional Budget Office estimates, rates would not reach those limits in the next 10 years.

Lawmakers engaged in near-constant work to undo a rate hike that took hold for subsidized Stafford loans on July 1.

Rates for new subsidized Stafford loans doubled from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.

On Wednesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimated outstanding student debt at $1.2 trillion — up 20 percent in just two years. Student loans are now the largest form of consumer debt behind mortgages.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates 21 million loans would be issued in 2013. Students often take a combination of subsidized and unsubsidized loans to pay for their education.

The rapid growth in debt is raising alarm among experts, and there is growing evidence student debt is weighing down the economy — for instance, by delaying the ability of young graduates to buy homes.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: 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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Star-Ledger, New Jersey, on turning the corner on obesity: Finally, something positive to say on the obesity front: According to new studies, obesity rates are leveling off — dropping, even. Hey, we must have done something right.

Both New York City and Philadelphia saw their obesity rates decrease last year, since declaring war on the epidemic more than a decade ago.

And studies recently compiled by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation showed similar progress elsewhere in the country: A drop in Mississippi, three years after passage of a law that required public schools to provide more physical activity and health education. A reduction in eastern Massachusetts, and for kids in a region of Nebraska.

A leveling off for New Mexico’s kindergarten and third graders, after years of increase.

Certainly, there are problem areas: Disparities between obesity trends in black and white students, and worse results for poor students insured through Medicaid. But common sense solutions such as eliminating soda and fried foods in schools and educating kids about exercise seem to be paying off.

New Jerseyans are not as obese as the rest of the country, although that’s not saying much. About 61 percent of adults in this state are considered overweight and 24 percent obese. But with the American Medical Association’s vote last month to classify obesity as a disease, we hope more pressure will be put on insurance companies to cover procedures and medications associated with it.

With billions more on the line, the stakes for selling healthy eating just got higher.

Reporter-Herald, Loveland, Colo., on the increased use of drones should spur oversight: Drones, developed for military use at war, are increasingly being deployed over U.S. skies, looking for everything from suspicious people along the border to missing people to fishing violations.

Clearly, Americans are losing yet more expectation of privacy.

Though there is no evidence they have been yet, the unmanned aircraft could be outfitted with cameras and facial recognition programs to spy on anyone out of doors.

And recent revelations that the Customs and Border Protection Agency is considering equipping them with “nonlethal weapons” should give Americans even more concern.

The agency has loaned its drones to other agencies for domestic spying, 30 times in 2010, increasing to 250 last year. Among the agencies that have used them are the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the North Dakota Army National Guard, Texas Department of Public Safety and the US Forest Service.

Though drones could offer a tool for national security, the increasing use and the potential for equipping them with weapons show a need for Congress to set up rules to govern their use and procedures to ensure adequate oversight of their use.

Some states have also proposed rules regarding their use, something the Colorado Legislature should consider.

The American Civil Liberties Union has recommended limits on their usage, data retention and weapons, and said policies regarding their use should be developed by the public, not law enforcement agencies, and the rules should be clear and open to the public.

It’s time for states and Congress to set up the rules that will protect Americans from misuse of this new technology.

Chicago Tribune on U.S. should stay in Afghanistan: President Hamid Karzai’s erratic behavior has President Barack Obama considering a complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan after 2014.

The frustration with Karzai is understandable.

Last month, peace talks between the U.S. and the Taliban collapsed before they even started. Karzai accused the U.S of trying to negotiate a separate peace with the Taliban and their enablers in Pakistan, leaving his government vulnerable to its foes. In retaliation, Karzai cut off negotiations with the U.S. over a security agreement that will govern American military forces after 2014.

And so, the White House signaled through a New York Times story this week, the so-called “zero option” is gaining traction.

The U.S. recently turned over complete security control to Afghanistan forces and has a timetable for withdrawal of troops by the end of 2014.

The expectation is that the U.S. would keep a modest force of 3,000 to 9,000 troops after that, focused on anti-terror operations and support for Afghan security forces. Afghanistan will need international assistance to keep the Taliban at bay and deny a safe haven to al-Qaida.

Summer 2013: The season for getting things done Something happens as you get older.

All the sudden you have all these things you want to do before you die.

Maybe it’s the whole aging thing that reminds you we really have no idea how much time we have left, or maybe we just get so settled into our routine that we develop a thirst for things we haven’t done yet.

I don’t know.

But this summer, has been the season to get things done.

I’ve never really made a true bucket list – sure, I’ve jotted things down here and there – but usually they’re sporadic ideas that come at the completion of another.

Take for example the past few months. My cousin and I decided to start doing a bunch of 5 and 10K races. Not because we had to for some sports team, but because we wanted to prove that we could do it. And after finishing up the first one, we decided

My rush comes from eating really weird, strangely terrible food from another cuisine, or spending gobs of money on some purse that is ridiculously overpriced.

Are all of the things on my bucket list completely life altering? No, not even close.

But who says I can’t keep adding a few as I cross the others off.

AP Photo Members of the House of Representatives leave the Capitol for the weekend after the Republican majority passed legislation to replace the No Child Left Behind law, in Washington, Friday. The Student Success Act reflects the long-held Republican premise that Washington has no business determining how local school systems are run.

House votes to replace ‘No Child’ education law college and careers and to measure student and teacher performance. To date, 39 states and the District of Columbia have been granted waivers.

President Barack Obama said he was forced to act because Congress had failed to update the law. Republicans charged that he was using the waivers to bypass Congress.

The law had been blamed for creating its own problems in American schools, with critics saying that teachers were now “teaching to the test” and that standardized tests were being given too much weight in measuring student performance.

House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline, R-Minn., said the proposed first revamping of education law in more than a decade was a “monumental step” that would “grant states and districts the freedom and flexibility they need to think bigger, innovate, and take whatever steps are necessary to raise the bar in our schools.”

“Let’s get Washington out of the way to ensure a brighter future for our children,” said Rep. Martha Roby, R-Ala. Some Republicans have long contended that Washington should have no role in setting education policy and that the Education Department should be abolished. The House bill would eliminate No Child Left Behind’s adequate yearly progress metric and get rid of other federal mandates required of poor-performing schools, giving states and school districts the authority to develop their own strategies for improving student and school performances.

Democrats said the legislation would lock in lower spending levels for education and would fail to hold states and schools accountable for assuring that students are learning. They said it could result in a loss of educational opportunities for low-income students, English language learners and the disabled.

“This bill is a classic example of how this Republican majority has capitulated to its more extreme elements,” said House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md.

Aurora, Newtown survivors honor theater victims AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Survivors of mass shootings in Colorado and Connecticut were among those gathered Friday in a suburban Denver park to honor those killed in the massacre at an Aurora movie theater a year after the attack.

Vigil participants read a list of names of those killed in recent gun violence around the nation and talked about the pain of losing loved ones as they called for strict federal gun control laws.

“Why wait any longer?” asked Carlee Soto, whose sister was killed at the elementary school rampage in Newtown, Conn.

“The time for change is now.”

The scene was somber, even as gun rights activists stood silently nearby at a counterrally holding signs to rebut the appeals for firearms restrictions.

“We want the families of the victims to know that we are sorry for their loss,” said Alicia Perez, a Colorado organizer with Gun Rights Across America.

Perez went on to say that gun rights supporters simply felt compelled to oppose calls for new gun laws, which they see as an infringement on Second Amendment rights.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns, founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, was a sponsor of Friday’s tribute rally.

Perez’s group criticized the association, saying its members were using tragedy for political gain.

Shortly before the survivors’ vigil, a gun rights activist at the counterrally tried to move into position behind the lectern with a signs that read “No More Names.” Rob Blancken also had a sign that said, “Tell billionaire Mayor Bloomberg to stay the hell out of Colorado.” He was eventually instructed to move by an armed state parks ranger.

The victims’ advocates, meanwhile, kept up their calls for tighter restrictions on gun sales and for universal background checks.

“I think that Coloradans get it, that something must change,” said Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was killed in the theater.

Colorado has been the only state outside the East Coast to ratchet back gun rights in reaction to mass shootings, and a federal push for new restrictions failed in Congress.

Stephen Barton, who was wounded in the Aurora shooting, said,

JERUSALEM (AP) — In one of the central scenes of the summer blockbuster movie “World War Z,” Israeli troops funnel Palestinian refugees to safety in Jerusalem behind a massive concrete wall.

There, the Arabs and Jews embrace, dance and sing — shortly before they are all engulfed by bloodthirsty zombies.

Even for such an overthe-top work of science fiction, in which billions of people come back from the dead as horrific zombies to terrorize Earth, one of the most improbable plotlines of the film is that Israelis and Palestinians are fighting on the same side.

Granted, the film assumes that a post-apocalyptic world and a supernatural common enemy are needed to achieve such harmony. But the image of

“You shouldn’t wait until it affects you to start caring about it.”

“I never thought I would ever be affected by gun violence personally,” he added.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns said participants will read the names of about 2,500 people who have been killed by gunfire since Dec. 14, when a gunman killed 20 firstgraders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The Aurora rally came almost a year to the day after 12 people were killed and 70 others were wounded, some paralyzed, in a July 20, 2012, attack at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises.”

The victims’ names will be read until 12:38 a.m.

40138637

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans voted Friday to dismantle the troubled No Child Left Behind law for evaluating America’s students and schools, saying states and local school districts rather than Washington should be setting rules for ensuring that kids are getting good educations.

The legislation would eliminate federally required testing of students, which has been controversial from the start. But the measure passed with no Democratic support and drew a veto threat from the Obama administration, which said it would be a “step backward” in efforts to better prepare children for colleges and careers and to bring improvements to low-performing schools.

Democrats in the Senate, where they hold the majority, are working on their own bill. It would also give states greater flexibility in designing school improvement standards. But it would maintain the authority of the federal education secretary to approve those plans. A Senate vote on that legislation is unlikely until autumn.

The House bill, which Republicans named the Student Success Act and Democrats dubbed the Letting Students Down Act, passed 221-207, with every Democrat, and 12 Republicans voting against it.

That partisanship comes against a background in which nearly everyone agrees that No Child Left Behind, while achieving some successes in improving achievement levels, is too inflexible and needs a major overhaul.

The law was passed by Congress in 2001, a bipartisan effort led by, among others, current House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass. President George W. Bush was a strong supporter and signed it into law in early 2002.

It required that all students be able to read and do math at their actual grade level by 2014. But the Obama administration, in a tacit acknowledgement that the goal was unattainable, last year began offering waivers to states that came up with their own federally approved plans to prepare students for

Israelis and Palestinians coming together,” said Yehuda Stav, a movie critic for the Israeli daily newspaper Yediot Ahronot.

At the core of the cinematic coexistence lies a towering barrier Israel is praised for building to keep out zombies and protect inhabitants of the Holy Land — Jews and Arabs alike. In reality, Israel’s separation barrier with the West Bank — which Israel says is meant to keep out Palestinian suicide bombers — is much smaller but much more contentious. Palestinians call it a symbol of occupation that steals their land, hinders their movement and damages their crops.

AP Photo In this Tuesday June 25 photo, the Rev. Archie Snedegar, left, interim pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, prepares to hop in parishioner John Cox’s 1924 Model T Ford in Charleston, W.Va. Snedegar and Cox visit those on Charleston’s West Side who are ill or the elderly who have difficulty getting to services.

“John has a Model T and I have a ministry,” Snedegar said.

W.Va. church uses Model T for its outreach efforts When Snedegar came to Calvary Baptist a year ago, there was talk of closing the church because of declining membership.

“There has been a 180-degree change in attitude,” he said.

New people have been attending and attendance is growing, he said.

“I explained that at 76 years of age this could be the last church I serve. I’m willing to stay to get the church revived and rejuvenated. I’m willing to commit the last years of my life to this church,” he said.

After 50 years in the ministry, he is still excited about his work.

“I’ve never had so much fun or enjoyed the ministry so much,” he said. “I am on call 24 hours a day.

The sermons are all new.

I do research every week.

We try to reach out to the elderly. We have a radio broadcast at 10 a.m. on Sundays.”

Mary Lucas is a Union Carbide retiree, a good pianist, a longtime member of Calvary Baptist — and a proud mother.

“Roger is my only child,” she said. “He never drank or smoked. He has been one fine guy.”

After an uplifting visit at the Lucas residence, Snedegar and Cox climbed into the Model T to head for the home of Jack and Jean Ann Hartley.

After inquiring about the age of the car, Jack said, “1924? That was two years before I was born.”

Jack retired from the U.S. Navy after serving as a pilot. He noted that Jean Ann had the responsibilities of home and children whenever he was away. She has an impressive collection of miniature houses and also loves a 9-foot-tall Christmas tree covered with ornaments. The houses as well as the tree stay out all year long.

“I’m 87,” Jack said. “The tree is too heavy to lift” for storage in the attic.

The couple married at Calvary Baptist in 1951 and Jean Ann’s mother was a charter member.

Snedegar wanted to stop by the Hartley home and check on Jack after recent surgery.

He noted that all of his parishioners are interesting and fun. “I am the luckiest guy in the world,” he said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — On sunny days, the Rev. Archie Snedegar and parishioner John Cox climb into a 1924 Model T Ford and drive around Charleston’s West Side visiting folks.

The car captures attention, which is exactly what Snedegar and Cox have in mind for a new outreach program of Calvary Baptist Church.

“John has a Model T and I have a ministry,” Snedegar said.

The pastor said the ministry would not attract nearly as much attention in a traditional vehicle.

They visit church members who have been ill or the elderly who have a hard time getting to church. The visit always includes prayer and invariably, a conversation about the car.

“It goes 45 miles an hour at top speed,” Cox said.

“I’ve got a bigger carburetor on it than came on it. If it can’t go up a hill, I turn around and back up it.”

On a recent day, the pair maneuvered a West Side route with a stop at the home of Mary Lucas.

“I’m only 92,” Lucas said.

“I’m still young.”

During a front porch visit, she looked at the car and noted, “It looks pretty old.”

Lucas lives with her son and daughter-in-law, Roger and Deborah Lucas.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Sunday, July 21, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Discussions with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs will be completely unpredictable today. Don't push your luck. Don't wake the sleeping giant.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel plans will be canceled, delayed or changed today. Ditto for plans related to higher education, schooling and anything related to medicine and the law.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Expect a few surprises with shared property, inheritances, insurance matters and anything to do with whatever you own jointly with others. Check your bank account. Stay in the loop.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Someone close to you might demand more freedom in the relationship or say something that shocks you. Today is full of little surprises where you least expect them.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your routine might suffer from computer crashes, power outages, fire drills or canceled appointments today.

Allow extra time and wiggle room to cope with any of these possibilities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Parent should be extra vigilant about their children, because this is an accident-prone day for their kids. Romantic partners also might have surprises or lover's spats.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your home routine will be interrupted today. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur.

Be patient with family members to keep the peace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Slow down and take it easy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Everything to do with your cash and your possessions is unpredictable today. Keep your eyes open. Keep your receipts and count your change. Guard against loss or theft.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You feel rebellious, impulsive and impatient today. Guard against saying something rash or reckless, and then later regretting it. ("What was I thinking?")

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You feel generally restless today. You might not be sure why, but you have that feeling you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. (Invariably, it's ugly and not in your size.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A friend might surprise you today or say something shocking. Conversely, you might meet a real character today, especially in a group. Perhaps this person will cause you to change your goals or, alternatively, leave the group.

YOU BORN TODAY Whether you are flamboyant or quiet, you are an adventurer. You want life to be stimulating and exciting. This is why you often seek out daring occupations or hobbies. You have a biting wit and are not afraid to shock others (in fact, you enjoy it). Look for opportunities to study and learn something valuable this year because it will make a difference to your future.

AP Photo In this Friday photo, work continues at the crash site on in LacMegantic, Quebec of a train that derailed igniting tanker cars carrying crude oil that killed fifty people. U.S. and Canadian drillers are producing oil faster than new pipelines can be built. As a result, trains have become an unexpected yet vital way to move this bounty of energy from the continentճ midsection to refineries along the coasts. However, since the July 6 tragedy in Lac-Megantic, where a runaway train carrying 72 carloads of crude derailed and killed 50 people, there have been calls for tougher regulations, stronger rail cars and more pipelines.

DOE study: Fracking chemicals didn’t taint water PITTSBURGH (AP) — A landmark federal study on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, shows no evidence that chemicals from the natural gas drilling process moved up to contaminate drinking water aquifers at a western Pennsylvania drilling site, the Department of Energy told The Associated Press.

After a year of monitoring, the researchers found that the chemicallaced fluids used to free

gas trapped deep below the surface stayed thousands of feet below the shallower areas that supply drinking water, geologist Richard Hammack said.

Although the results are preliminary — the study is still ongoing — they are a boost to a natural gas industry that has fought complaints from environmental groups and property owners who call fracking dangerous.

with unique markers were injected more than 8,000 feet below the surface but were not detected in a monitoring zone 3,000 feet higher. That means the potentially dangerous substances stayed about a mile away from drinking water supplies.

“This is good news,” said Duke University scientist Rob Jackson, who was not involved with the study. He called it a “useful and important approach” to monitoring fracking, but he cautioned that the single study doesn’t prove that fracking can’t pollute, since geology and industry practices vary widely in Pennsylvania and across the nation.

The boom in gas drilling has led to tens of thousands of new wells being drilled in recent years, many in the Marcellus Shale formation that lies under parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia. That’s led to major economic benefits

but also fears that the chemicals used in the drilling process could spread to water supplies.

The mix of chemicals varies by company and region, and while some are openly listed the industry has complained that disclosing special formulas could violate trade secrets. Some of the chemicals are toxic and could cause health problems in significant doses, so the lack of full transparency has worried landowners and public health experts.

The study done by the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh marked the first time that a drilling company let government scientists inject special tracers into the fracking fluid and then continue regular monitoring to see whether it spread toward drinking water sources. The research is being done at a drilling site in Greene County, which is southwest of Pittsburgh and adjacent to West Virginia.

we move crude around the country for a long time,” says Jason Bordoff, head of Columbia University’s center on global energy policy. “I don’t think this rail accident will significantly change that.”

In the first half of this year, U.S. railroads moved 178,000 carloads of crude oil. That’s double the number of the same period last year and 33 times more than the same period of 2009. The Railway Association of Canada estimates that as many as 140,000 carloads of crude oil will be shipped on Canada’s tracks this year, up from 500 carloads in 2009.

Last year, 663 rail cars carrying hazardous materials derailed or were damaged in the U.S., a decline of 38 percent from 1,072 incidents in 2003, according to the Federal Railroad Administration.

That’s comparable to the total number of train accidents per million miles traveled, which fell 43 percent over the same period, and the number of derailments, which fell 40 percent.

Whether crude traffic on the rails will continue to grow quickly depends on oil prices around the globe, but refineries are gearing up for more.

Just across the Hudson River from New York City, Phillips 66 is building a terminal for its Bayway refinery that will be able to handle up to 100 rail cars — or roughly 70,000 barrels — of crude per day.

Across the continent, in Ferndale, Wash., BP (NYSE:BP) (TSX:BP’U) is building a 2-mile rail loop to do the same. And in Vancouver, Tesoro is building a facility that will be able to unload 170 rail cars a day.

Refineries in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Delaware, California and Oregon have projects completed or underway that allow them to accept rail shipments of crude, too. That means the oil, mostly from North Dakota, is crossing all of the states in between.

(The train that derailed in Lac-Megantic was North Dakota oil destined for an Irving Oil refinery in St. John, New Brunswick.)

Springboro, OH Troy, OH

NEW YORK (AP) — A train loaded with crude oil could soon roll through a town near you.

A fiery and fatal train derailment earlier this month in Quebec, near the Maine border, highlighted the danger of moving oil by rail. But while the practice could be made safer, it won’t be stopped in its tracks.

This year, more trains carrying crude will chug across North America than ever before — nearly 1,400 carloads a day. In 2009, there were just 31 carloads a day.

U.S. and Canadian drillers are producing oil faster than new pipelines can be built. As a result, trains have become an unexpected yet vital way to move this bounty of energy from the continent’s midsection to refineries along the coasts.

Not since the dawn of the petroleum age, when John D. Rockefeller clashed with railroad barons, have trains been so important to the oil market.

Since the July 6 tragedy in Lac-Megantic, where a runaway train carrying 72 carloads of crude derailed and killed 50 people, there have been calls for tougher regulations, stronger rail cars and more pipelines.But experts say the oil industry’s growing reliance on trains won’t be derailed anytime soon. There’s just no other way to get vast amounts of oil from North Dakota and Rocky Mountain states to refineries along the coasts, which are eager for cheaper, homegrown alternatives to imports brought in by boat.

“Stopping crude by rail would be tantamount to stopping oil production in a lot of the places it is now being produced,” says Michael Levi, who heads the Council on Foreign Relations’ program on energy security and climate change.

Even safety experts worried about the dangers of shipping oil by rail acknowledge that the safety record of railroads is good — and improving. The scope of the Lac-Megantic disaster, which is still under investigation, appears to have been the result of uniquely bad circumstances, these experts say.

“Rail is going to remain a significant part of the way

AP Photo Tommy Donahue, son of alleged murder victim Michael Donahue, puts his arm around his mother, Patricia Donahue, as she speaks to news media outside U.S. District Court in Boston, Friday, after the day’s session ended in the murder and racketeering trial of James “Whitey” Bulger.

Boston mobster pins a string of killings on Bulger BOSTON (AP) — A feared gangster known as “The Rifleman” detailed for a jury Friday a grisly string of nine murders he says reputed Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger ordered, approved or committed with his own hands, including the strangling of the witness’ own girlfriend.

Stephen Flemmi said he set his girlfriend’s killing in motion when he blurted out to her something he shouldn’t have: that he and Bulger were FBI informants.

Bulger decided Debra Davis knew too much and strangled her in front of Flemmi, the once-loyal Bulger associate told a rapt jury at Bulger’s racketeering trial in federal court.

“What did you do?” prosecutor Fred Wyshak asked.

“Nothing,” Flemmi replied.

“Why not?” Wyshak asked.

“That was the plan,” Flemmi said.

Flemmi did show a flash of remorse for killing Davis, who was 26. “It’s affected me and it’s going to affect me until the day I die,” he said.

In rapid succession, the mob turncoat described Bulger’s alleged role in eight other killings during the 1970s and ’80s when the two men were leaders of the Winter Hill Gang, Boston’s Irish mob.

On Thursday, when Flemmi began his testimony, he and Bulger snarled obscenities at each other in a staredown in court. But on Friday, Bulger looked straight ahead and took notes on a legal pad during Flemmi’s testimony and did not appear to look at him.

In one of the slayings he recounted, Flemmi said he and Bulger sprayed a phone booth with gunfire in 1975, killing bar owner Edward Connors, because he was “telling people Winter Hill business,” including details about an earlier murder committed by the gang.

Flemmi said another member of the gang had lured Connors to the phone booth by telling him he would receive a call there at a certain time. Bulger and Flemmi were waiting for him, Flemmi said.

“We just stepped out from the side of the building — the garage — and shot him,” Flemmi said, matter-of-factly. “We just fired on him.”

Flemmi said Bulger emptied a double-barreled shotgun and a pistol, while Flemmi fired seven or eight shots.

As for the strangling of his girlfriend, whom he had been dating for years, Flemmi said he initially refused to go along.

He said Bulger gave a litany of reasons she had to die, saying among other things that he was worried because Davis was flashing around gifts Flemmi had given her, including a Mercedes and expensive jewelry. “That was drawing attention to me and to him,” Flemmi said.

He said Bulger told him to bring Davis to a house Flemmi had bought in South Boston. As soon as they walked in, Bulger grabbed her by the neck and strangled her as he carried her downstairs, Flemmi said.

Flemmi said he laid her body on a tarp, and Bulger “went back upstairs and he laid down.” Two associates came and put the body in the trunk of a car, he said. She was buried along the banks of the Neponset River in Quincy.

Bulger, 83, is accused of playing a role in 19 killings.

Flemmi, 79, pleaded guilty in 10 killings and was sentenced to life in prison in a deal with prosecutors that spared him the death penalty for murders in Oklahoma and Florida.

He also provided more detail on the gang’s corrupt relationship with former FBI agent John Connolly, who was eventually convicted of tipping off Bulger and Flemmi ahead of a 1995 indictment.

Bulger fled Boston and was one of the nation’s most-wanted fugitives for more than 16 years until he was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011.

Flemmi said he and Bulger fed Connolly information on the Italian mob. At the time, taking down the Mafia was a top priority for the FBI. He said the gang also regularly paid Connolly and other FBI agents for tipping off the gang about investigations. He said the gang gave Connolly about $230,000 in cash during a 15-year relationship.

In 1983, Connolly received two $25,000 payments, Flemmi said. After receiving the second payment, Flemmi said, Connolly remarked, “I’m one of the gang.”

Flemmi said the gang also paid cash to five other Boston FBI agents, repeating testimony he gave in other trials.

He is set to return to the witness stand Monday.

Russian opposition leader freed in surprise move KIROV, Russia (AP) — A court’s abrupt decision Friday to release Russia’s most charismatic opposition leader less than a day after handing him a five-year prison sentence appears to reflect confusion in President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle about how to deal with its No. 1 foe.

Even more, it makes clear that the Kremlin is far from a monolith. The surprising about-face involving Alexei Navalny highlights an open rift between factions in Putin’s government that could be as unsettling for the leadership as any opposition figure, experts say.

In an unusual move, prosecutors themselves had requested that Navalny, an anti-corruption blogger and Moscow mayoral candidate, be let go pending appeal just a few hours after he was led out of a courtroom in handcuffs following an embezzlement conviction that was widely seen as unfair.

The decision came as thousands of Navalny’s supporters gathered Thursday around Moscow’s Manezhnaya Square outside the Kremlin for an unsanctioned protest of what they called a politically motivated ruling, chanting “Freedom!” and “Putin is a thief!” in open defiance of the authorities.

Navalny himself credited the protesters with his release, telling reporters Friday that his conviction and sentence “had been vetted by the presidential administration … but when people came out on Manezhnaya, they rushed to go back on that decision.”

Analysts saw Navalny’s sudden release as likely reflecting arguments within the Kremlin about how to respond to his popularity. He has earned rock-star status among his urban middle-class supporters, even if he has little influence among everyday Russians.

They also saw the move as an attempt to lend legitimacy to the Sept. 8 mayoral vote widely expected to be won by a Kremlin-backed incumbent who resigned last month, forcing a snap election that would make challengers scramble to organize their campaigns.

relatively popular thanks to lavish efforts to spruce up the capital, is widely expected to win the race easily. After rising through the Siberian political ranks, he became Putin’s chief of staff before being named Moscow’s mayor, cementing Kremlin control over the city’s political and business interests.

He was the one who persuaded Putin to release Navalny, said Stanislav Belkovsky, a well-connected political strategist who once advised the Kremlin.

The rally of several thousand who defied a ban on unsanctioned protests in support of Navalny may have strengthened Sobyanin’s hand in arguments with his Kremlin opponents.

“Sobyanin needs Navalny to make the mayoral elections look legitimate,” Belkovsky told the AP. “He suffers from a provincial complex, and he wants to prove to Moscow’s residents that his election victory is honest.”

Belkovsky predicted that Navalny could win between 15 percent and 20 percent of the vote, but would likely be sent to serve his sentence after the election. The about-face reflects growing chaos at the top, he said.

The confusion apparently resulted from law-enforcement agencies winning Putin’s approval for a five-year prison term just as Sobyanin was lobbying for a delayed sentence, Belkovsky said. The courts are widely considered to be at Putin’s disposal.

“They won the approval for two alternative decisions, so they ended up with that compromise: Navalny gets his fiveyear sentence but walks free until the election,” Belkovsky said.

He likened the confusion to the political infighting that engulfed the Kremlin in the waning years of the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev.

“The government looks increasingly unbalanced,” he said. “The system is destabilizing itself from within. Its prestige has suffered a heavy blow.”

Gleb Pavlovsky, a one-time Kremlin political consultant, also attributed the about-face to Kremlin infighting.

AP Photo Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, embraces his wife Yulia, as he was released in a courtroom in Kirov, Russia Friday. A Russian court on Friday released opposition leader Alexei Navalny from custody less than 24 hours after he was convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to five years in prison. The release came after a surprise request by prosecutors. Moscow mayoral race keeping him in custody would deny him his right to seek election.

While the leadership of Russia’s lawenforcement agencies, referred to as “siloviki,” favor nipping the opposition in the bud, other Putin lieutenants promote a more subtle approach to dissent, said Alexei Makarkin, an analyst with the Moscow-based Center for Political Technologies, an independent think-tank.

“Siloviki believe that the opposition must be destroyed,” Makarkin told The Associated Press. “And people in charge of policymaking think that the radical opposition poses no immediate threat and could be allowed to take part in elections, giving them legitimacy.

“These two approaches have led to contradictory decisions made almost simultaneously, and, in the end, those who wanted to legitimize elections prevailed,” he added.

Navalny was a driving force behind a series of massive demonstrations in

Moscow against Putin’s re-election to a third presidential term in March 2012.

But Navalny’s popularity outside of urban centers has remained negligible, and a recent opinion survey by the respected independent Levada Center showed that even in Moscow, he has the support of only about 5 percent of respondents.

Navalny said it’s “impossible to predict” whether the move to set him free could raise the chances of his acquittal on appeal. He also said he has not yet decided whether to continue his mayoral campaign.

“I’m not some kitten or a puppy that can be thrown out of an election, say, ‘You’re not running’ and later say, ‘Yes, let’s get him back in.’ I will get back to Moscow and we will talk it over with my election headquarters,” he said.

Mingo unsigned as Browns reach deals with 2 others CLEVELAND (AP) — First-round draft pick Barkevious Mingo remains the only unsigned Browns rookie after the club finalized four-year contracts with two others Friday.

On the day rookies reported for training camp, the Browns reached deals with cornerback Leon McFadden and troubled defensive lineman Armonty Bryant.

McFadden, a third-round pick from San Diego State, is expected to compete for the starting job opposite mainstay Joe Haden. The 5-foot9, 195-pound McFadden was selected 68th overall by the Browns, who need a starter

Troy Post 43 fell to Piqua Post 184 by a score of 11-6 in the American Legion district tournament final Friday night at Duke Park in Troy.

Post 184 surged to a 4-0 lead in the top of the second and never looked back. It was the second win Post 184 had over Post 43 in the tournament, as it sent Post 43 to the losers bracket with a 3-0 on Wednesday night.

Piqua’s Brandon Wysong led the top of the second inning with one of his three doubles, before being sacrificed to third

Troy Post 43 pitcher Luke Veldman delivers a pitcher Friday against Piqua Post 184.

INDEPENDENCE (AP) — Just minutes after signing with Cleveland, Andrew Bynum proclaimed the Cavaliers to be a playoff team.

Whether his ailing knees allow him to be the starting center remains to be seen.

“Getting my career on track is my only goal for the season,” Bynum said Friday at his introductory press conference Friday. “The Cavs have given me every opportunity to succeed, and we’ve put together a plan. I really believe in the doctors here and the training staff.

“I want to play a full season, and there is no doubt in my mind I can do that.

I’m going to be ready Andrew Bynum for training camp, that’s the plan.”

Bynum signed a two-year, $24 million contract with the Cavaliers, officially ending his star-crossed stay with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 7-footer missed all of last season with knee problems after being acquired from the Lakers in a four-team trade.

Though Bynum underwent bilateral arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March and has not been medically cleared to run, Cleveland general manager Chris Grant made him the team’s top priority in free agency.

The 25-year-old also was courted by the Mavericks and Hawks.

“We’re all aware of what his injuries have been,” Grant said. “He’s also well aware of that and has taken ownership of the process. Andrew is in a different place right now and he’s excited to move forward.

We’re going to do everything we possibly can.”

Jimenez leads midway through Open Tiger in prime position Froome on the verge of winning tour Chris Froome can already taste the champagne and has only one more day of climbing remaining before mounting the Champs-Elysees podium steps as Britain’s second consecutive Tour de France winner.

The race leader preserved his comfortable five-minute-plus lead over two-time former champion Alberto Contador on Friday’s rainy 19th stage featuring four big climbs and one hairraisingly fast descent.

See page 15

GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — The stretching routine that Miguel Angel Jimenez goes through before each round may look a bit ridiculous.

It’s sure working out, though.

The fun-loving Spaniard, again showing how much experience matters at golf’s oldest major championship, scrambled for an even-par 71 on Friday that was good enough to lead midway through the British Open at baked-out Muirfield.

He can hardly relax.

Tiger Woods was among four players just one stroke behind, a group that also

included English favorite Lee Westwood, longhitting American Dustin Johnson, and Sweden’s Henrik Stenson. Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera and first-round leader Zach Johnson were another stroke back, still in the game despite tough finishes.

The course was the real winner on this day — dry as a bone and firm as a snooker table, giving up only four scores in the 60s.

Another warm, sunny day along the Forth of Firth had nearby beachgoers frolicking in the surf, like this was Southern California instead of Scotland, but it

made things miserable out on a course that is more brown than green.

There were balls scooting all over the place. They wound up behind grandstands, in knee-high grass, up against the face of pot bunkers. Dustin Johnson had to intentionally hit a sideways shot into the rough just to escape a bunker. Phil Mickelson four-putted a hole. Darren Clarke made a quadruplebogey. And get this — they were all still in contention for the claret jug.

Leading the way was Jimenez, a cigar-smoking, wine-loving golfer nicknamed “The Mechanic” who is perhaps best • See OPEN on page 16

Two indicted for threatening Tygart DENVER (AP) — Two men have been charged with directing threats toward U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart in the aftermath of USADA’s decision to strip cyclist Lance Armstrong of his Tour de France titles.

One indictment, unsealed Thursday, alleges that Gerrit Keats of Clearwater, Fla., threatened Tygart via interstate communication in October.

The other, unsealed Friday, makes the same charge against Robert Hutchins of Sandy, Utah.

That indictment says Hutchins made the threat

last Aug. 23, the same day Armstrong announced he wasn’t going to fight the USADA sanctions for doping. “I have been subjected to a two-year federal criminal investigation followed

by Travis Tygart’s unconstitutional witch hunt,” the cyclist said in a letter to the agency.

Keats was arrested Thursday in Clearwater and Hutchins on Tuesday in Salt Lake City. Both are scheduled to make appearances in federal court in Denver on July 29.

Making threats via interstate commerce carries up to a fiveyear prison sentence and a $250,000 fine.

A woman in the driveway of Keats’ home, who refused to identify herself, said that neither he nor the family would talk. Public records identify Keats as a urologist born in 1941 with a clear and active medical license.

No one answered the phone at a number listed in public records for Hutchins.

Shortly after Armstrong said he wouldn’t fight the USADA sanctions, Tygart revealed he had received death threats and was asking the FBI to investigate.

In an interview with “60 Minutes” following the

Armstrong penalties, Tygart said the death threats came anonymously via emails and letters. Asked if he remembered any specific threats, Tygart said, “The worst was probably puttin’ a bullet in my head.”

When news of the arrests went public, USADA chairman Edwin Moses released a statement thanking the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office for handling the case.

“We respect the judicial process and will continue to focus on our mission to protect the rights of clean athletes and the integrity of sport,” Moses said.

In August, USADA handed

Armstrong a lifetime ban and stripped all seven of his Tour de France titles for running what Tygart called “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.”

Since then, Armstrong has admitted to doping and stepped down from the Livestrong Foundation, which raised hundreds of millions of dollars for cancer research based largely on the cyclist’s popularity.

Armstrong overcame testicular cancer before winning his first Tour de France and used his story as an inspiration for others battling cancer.

One step closer

Froome on the cusp of winning Tour LE GRANDBORNAND, France (AP) — Chris Froome can already taste the champagne and has only one more day of climbing remaining before mounting the Champs-Elysees podium steps as Britain’s second consecutive Tour de France winner.

The race leader preserved his comfortable five-minute-plus lead over two-time former champion Alberto Contador on Friday’s rainy 19th stage featuring four big climbs and one hair-raisingly fast descent.

Rui Costa won it with a solo breakaway on the final ascent. Froome braced himself for a big Contador attack that never materialized on any of the climbs, nor in the long downhill to the finish line on increasingly wet roads.

“I certainly feel a big sigh of relief,” Froome said. “Today was a day I was nervous about, happy to put it behind us.”

Contador is 5:11 behind and has only Saturday’s final mountain stage in which to do that, since Sunday’s 21st and last stage is largely processional.

“It’s going to be hard for someone to take more than five minutes in 125 kilometers,” Froome said.

“But having said that I don’t want to be complacent and want to stay

Christopher Froome, wearing the overall leader’s yellow jersey, and Bauke Mollema, left and drinking, ride in downpour Friday during the nineteenth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 204.5 kilometers (127.8 miles) with start in in Bourg-d’Oisans and finish in Le Grand-Bornand, France.

switched on until at least tomorrow evening.”

Realistically, only an improbable slump — make that impossible, given how he’s been riding so far — will stop the 28-year old from matching countryman Bradley Wiggins’s success last year.

“I am excited, but quietly excited,” Froome said. “It is a day where the whole team’s going to have to stay alert and control that last stage. One final big effort, then we can start relaxing on the ride into Paris.”

Costa secured his sec-

ond stage win of the race, and third of his career, after catching Frenchman Pierre Roland about a quarter of the way up the final major ascent of Col de la Croix Fry. German veteran Andreas Kloeden was second and Belgian Jan Bakelants was third.

The 127-mile trek featured two HC climbs and two Category 1 ascents between Bourg-d’Oisans and Le Grand-Bornand in the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.

Contador was tipped to attack Froome on the

Bruns both had RBI singles, which capped off a four-run fivehit effort in the inning.

Troy Post 43 got on the scoreboard in the bottom half of the inning. After Colton Nealeigh led with a double, Cascaden drove him in with an RBI single to make it 4-1.

Piqua Post 184 again threatened in the third, putting two on with two outs, before Cascaden forced Brandon Kirk to fly out and end the threat. In the home third, Post 184 starter Damien Richard walked Trenton Wood to open the inning, and Wood later come around to score on a passed ball.

Ethan Bruns ignited a twoout rally for Piqua in the top of the fourth with a double.

Richard reached on error to follow, then John Edwards drew a walk to load the bases for Wysong, who delivered a threerun double off of Post 43 pitcher Nick Antonides. Wysong later scored on a passed ball to make the score 8-2.

Post 43’s Reid Ferrell scored on a double by Ryan Lavy in the eighth. Evan Bowling had a single in the ninth and scored on a hard-hit ball by Garrett Mitchell to right field.

Nealeigh led Post 43 with three hits on the night. Piqua’s Richard got the win on the hill and Veldman took the loss for Post 43, which falls to 38-12 on the season.

The Cavaliers only guaranteed Bynum $6 million in the first year of the deal, but he could earn an additional $6 million through performance incentives. Cleveland holds a $12 million team option for the second season.

Bynum, who hasn’t appeared in an NBA game since May 21, 2012, made $16.9 million last year with Philadelphia.

He averaged 18.7 points and 11.7 rebounds for the Lakers two seasons ago — earning his lone All-Star selection — while playing under Cavaliers coach Mike Brown.

“I was an All-Star in this league, but I feel like I still have a lot of room to grow,” said Bynum, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2005 draft. “I had a year off, a year to watch basketball and learn the game from the outside in. I saw what I need to do.

“With the time off, I’ve been able to get the swelling in my knees out, so I’m anxious and ready to start. I’ve already moved to Cleveland, and come Monday, I’ll be working here every day.”

The New Jersey native appeared to be in good shape, which he credited to “nonweight bearing exercises I’ve been doing to strengthen my legs.” Bynum added that he weighed 305 pounds, but planned on being at his play-

downhill stretch, but perhaps because of the rainy conditions, he held back.

“Even though there wasn’t much attacking, it was really tough out there,” Froome said. “For us the objective was to stay on the wheel (of the other contenders),” Froome said. “The team did a huge amount of work today. There are still 125 kilometers to go tomorrow.”

Saturday’s 20th stage goes 78 miles from Annecy to Annecy-Semnoz and features a Category 1 climb and finishes with

an Hors Categorie climb, meaning it is considered so daunting as to be beyond classification.

But Contador will need a miracle to claw back his deficit and may not even go for it.

“It all depends on how my legs are tomorrow,” Contador said. “It depends how I feel.”

Froome was not attacked up the first of the two big HC climbs to Col du Glandon.

Canadian Ryder Hesjedal and Spaniard Jon Izaguirre opened up a sizeable lead over the

yellow jersey group once they went over the top.

As Hesjedal and Izaguirre reached the second HC of Col de Madeleine, the peloton was 10 minutes behind.

Hesjedal forged ahead but was then overtaken

by Frenchman Pierre Rolland.

The stage undulated through the valleys and up several big hills, including the Category 1 climbs of Col de l’Epine and Col de la Croix Fry, and then flew down to the ski resort of Le Grand Bornand in southeastern France.

Rolland maintained his lead up l’Epine — zooming up the 4.5 miles in just under 19 minutes — but Costa proved too strong for him. Costa also won up to Super-Besse ski station in 2011.

With the rain becoming heavier, Costa prepared for a long and slippery descent of 8 miles.

Contador chose not to take Froome on down it and risk jeopardizing his podium position.

Colombian climber Nairo Quintana is only 21 second behind in third place.

“I didn’t want to attack in the downhill,” Contador said. “A lot of people like me and when they see me attacking downhill they get scared.”

Froome sat on Contador’s wheel whenever he could, forcing him to work and spend energy, and the Spaniard could not shake him off.

“There was a moment when I wanted to attack and thought about it,” Contador said, “but then I thought it was best to reach the finish line.”

“I was an All-Star in this league, but I feel like I still have a lot of room to grow. I had a year off, a year to watch basketball and learn the game from the outside in. I saw what I need to do.”

— Andrew Bynum

ing weight of 285 by the start of the regular season.

If Bynum is healthy, he gives the Cavaliers a formidable three-man core with AllStar point guard Kyrie Irving and power forward Anderson Varejao. Cleveland signed point guard Jarrett Jack and small forward Earl Clark earlier in this free agency period, giving it three additions with significant playoff experience.

The Cavaliers also drafted UNLV power forward Anthony Bennett with the top overall pick, and has another developing big man in third-year pro Tristan Thompson.

“Kyrie’s talent is world renowned,” Bynum said. “Not having had the opportunity to play with a great point guard, a great one-five (point guard-center) combination is always a key in this game that we play.

“I also can’t wait to play with Anderson, honestly, because he brings a kind of energy and passion for the game that I haven’t been around before.

We have the talent, and we definitely have an opportunity to go far.”

The 76ers had the same intentions last year, but skidded to a 34-48 campaign after dealing All-Star swingman Andre Iguodala and center Nikola Vucevic as part of the package for Bynum. His work ethic was called into question when he was unable to play in November, and his reputation suffered more damage after opting for season-ending surgery five months later.

“I was completely surprised with the way things turned out in Philly,” said Bynum, who has a .566 career field goal percentage. “I showed up and I was in playing shape, and I had every intention of playing. It’s just unfortunate it didn’t work out. The criticism, I thought, was unfair, but it comes with the territory.”

Cleveland went 24-58 last season, making it 64-166 in three years since Akron native LeBron James left the franchise to sign with the Miami

Heat as a free agent. James is eligible to opt out of his contract next summer, when the Cavaliers will be at least $20 million under the salary cap and hope to add the final piece to their puzzle.

Bynum understands that he can’t change what occurred in Philadelphia, but he can affect the future in Cleveland.

“I want to get this team back into the playoffs and make some noise,” he said. “The Cleveland fans deserve that.

I will bring leadership and experience to the great young nucleus of guys we have here.

We have the talent. Now, all it’s going to take is hard work, and I’m willing to do that.”

—— NOTES: The Cavaliers waived PF Kevin Jones and PG Chris Quinn in order to clear the salary cap room to sign Bynum. Both players were on Cleveland’s summer league roster, but had nonguaranteed contracts. … The Cavaliers have renounced the rights to PF Luke Walton, but Grant said the door remains open for him to return. …

Russian rookie SF Sergey Karasev will make his first visit to Cleveland next week.

The No. 19 pick in the draft has been playing professionally overseas, but will join the Cavaliers this season.

NHL releases schedule after Olympic agreement NEW YORK (AP) — Now that the NHL knows for sure it will take a break for next year’s Sochi Games, the league has released its long-awaited schedule that features realignment and a slew of new division names and rivals.

Shortly after the NHL said Friday it would send its players to the Olympics for the fifth straight time, it announced its 1,230-game regular-season slate.

The season will be put on hold for 2½ weeks in February to accommodate the 2014 Games in Russia.

Opening night Oct. 1 will feature the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks hosting Washington. The regular season concludes April 13, with the

playoffs beginning three days later.

The league’s four new divisions will be called Metropolitan and Atlantic in the Eastern Conference, and Central and Pacific in the West. No teams in what was the Atlantic Division are in the new group of that name.

The Western Conference is made up of two seven-team divisions, while the Eastern Conference has two eight-team groupings.

The Metropolitan Division consists of the Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Carolina Hurricanes and Columbus Blue

Jackets, who have moved from the West to the East.

The Atlantic is made up of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. Detroit has also shifted from the West to the East.

The Central includes the Winnipeg Jets, Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues.

The Pacific is comprised of the Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, Phoenix Coyotes and Anaheim

Ducks.

Along with the Blackhawks raising their second title banner in four years, opening night will feature Toronto visiting Montreal in the first game of the season.

The annual Winter Classic, to be played on New Year’s Day at Michigan Stadium between the Maple Leafs and Red Wings, won’t be alone in the great outdoors. This season it is just one of six games to be staged in the elements.

A four-game NHL Stadium Series will feature Southern California rivals Anaheim and Los Angeles facing off in Dodger Stadium on Jan. 25. The Rangers will take on their local rivals, the Devils and Islanders,

Three’s company Creamer, Recari, Walsh lead Marathon; Park lurking SYLVANIA (AP) — Paula Creamer hasn’t won an LPGA Tour event in the past three years.

Yet the memories of the times she has triumphed always give her a lift when needed most.

Creamer, who won the tournament five years ago when it was known as the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic, shared the lead and top-ranked Inbee Park was lurking nearby Friday after the second round of the Marathon Classic.

“You know when to step on the gas and when not to,” she said. “When you get a rhythm going out here it kind of takes care of itself. Experience, in any case, takes care of the issues that you have out there. It’s just being confident.”

In the 2008 event, she shot a careerbest 11-under 60 in the first round and followed up with a 65, then held off all challengers for a two-shot victory.

With a host of big names bunched high on the leaderboard through 36 holes of the Marathon, she knows she can’t put it on cruise control. But she also feels good about her chances.

“I have so much confidence out here, and the fans have been so great over the years,” said Creamer, who has won nine times on tour but not since the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open. “I kind of feel like I have a little extra bonus with them in my back pocket.”

Creamer shot a 3-under 68 on Friday on the heels of an opening 66 to pull even with Alison Walshe and Spain’s Beatriz Recari at 8-under 134.

Recari, who picked up her second career tour win earlier this year, had the day’s low round with a 65. She climbed from a tie for 19th after opening with a 69.

AP PHOTO Paula Creamer putts on the fourth green during the second round of the Marathon Classic golf tournament Friday at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania.

She had made the cut in 46 consecutive tournaments before shooting an 81 in the opening round and missing out on the weekend at the U.S. Women’s Open three weeks ago at Sebonack.

Recari sounded as if she had mixed feelings about the streak ending.

“No, I didn’t have any weight on my shoulders,” she said. “I would have loved to continue it and it was a disappointment not to make it. But I’ve had some time to reflect and I’m actually pleased that it happened because it

was a good lesson that I had to learn.”

Walshe, the first-round leader after a 65, hasn’t won in her four years on the LPGA Tour. But she showed some backbone by turning things around after bogeying her first hole on Friday.

“I’m always trying to win, always dreaming the dream to win a tournament,” she said with a grin. “I’m really pleased with my game, so I think it can happen. I step up to the tee every week right now and I’m pretty confident. It’s pretty nice to have two rounds and be in contention.”

in a pair of games at Yankee Stadium three days apart. First up will be the Rangers and Devils in a Jan. 26 matinee, followed by the Rangers and Islanders in prime time on Jan. 29.

The last will be a matchup between the Penguins and Blackhawks at Soldier Field, the home of the Chicago Bears, on March 1 at night. The annual Heritage Classic will be in Vancouver on March 2 when the Canucks host the Ottawa Senators.

That will be just four days after the NHL returns from the Olympic break that runs from Feb. 9-25.

The schedule will have quite a different look this time around.

Open

n Continued from page 14 outside Europe for the unique way he gets ready for a round.

Upon arriving at the range, he’ll put his knees together and gyrate his hips both clockwise and counterclockwise — silly looking enough as it is, but especially for a guy with a hefty belly and even heftier ponytail. Then he’ll pull out a couple of clubs to help stretch his legs and loosen up his arms, though none of it looks very strenuous.

“I’m amused by his warm-up routine,” Mickelson said. “I would hurry to the course to watch it.”

But this guy is all business out on the course. Jimenez has bounced back from missing four months recovering from a broken right leg sustained in a skiing accident last winter. If he can keep it going through the weekend, he might take a run at Julius Boros, the oldest major champion in golf history when he won the PGA Championship at age 48. Heck, Tom Watson nearly won this tournament a few years ago at age 59.

“Why not?” asked Jimenez, whose was at 3-under 139 through two days.

“There’s two more rounds to go. You never know what’s going to happen. I’m just going to have fun on the golf course.

When I finish here, I’ll have a glass of red wine later on. I’m just going to keep doing the same thing.”

He’s not exactly leading the conventional way, far down in the rankings for fairways hit and greens in regulation.

But no one has done a better job scrambling for pars. Jimenez ranked first in the putting, seeming to always find a way to get the ball up close to the hole even during the frequent times he ran into trouble.

“I’m playing very solid,” Jimenez said.

“In these conditions, it’s not easy. With these pin positions, it’s very, very tough to get in close.”

Woods plodded along most of the day, lipping out a putt from 2½ feet, missing another short putt and settling for a bunch of pars — 12 in a row until his final stroke of the round. Then, he looked like the Tiger of old, rolling in a 15-footer for birdie on Muirfield’s tough closing hole. He raised his putter toward the blue sky with a flourish, fully aware he was positioned again to break the longest major drought of his career.

“It will be a fun weekend,” said Woods, who also shot 71. “I was kind of fighting it.”

Detroit’s uncertainty may spare sports teams DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings are hoping to play in a new arena soon, not far from where the Tigers are defending their American League title and the Lions will soon start another football season.

All this in a city that is filing for bankruptcy, a decision that follows years of decline. Detroit owes billions to creditors and its revenues, like its population, drop each year.

Yet it’s been largely

business as usual on the ice and the playing field.

The bankruptcy filing Thursday left the region a bit shaken, but the professional sports teams may be spared any dramatic impact.

“We remain confident in the city of Detroit and in its future,” the Lions said in a statement Friday. “We do not anticipate that yesterday’s announcement will have any impact on Lions home games or our many other events at Ford Field.”

Spokesmen for the Red Wings and Tigers both declined comment, not wanting to speculate in the immediate aftermath of the largest bankruptcy protection request in U.S. history.

But that $650 million arena planned for the Red Wings? That can still become a reality, according to Brian Holdwick, an executive vice president for the Detroit Economic Growth Corp.

Plans for an 18,000-seat arena were announced by the team’s owners and local economic development officials last month, although the new proposal still needed to be approved by the City Council and a handful

of state and local agencies. The Red Wings said there will be $367 million in private investment and $283 million in public funds in the complex, which would also include residential, retail and office space.

Spending that kind of money on an arena — in a city where bankruptcy could mean laying off employees and scaling back basic services — could draw some public resistance. Holdwick said funding for the project would come from tax increment dollars that can’t be used by the city’s general fund anyway, so it’s not necessarily a zerosum game between building an arena and easing Detroit’s financial pain.

Holdwick says money for the arena would go back to the state if not used for development downtown.

“I think there’s a lot of reasons why the city should be supportive,” Holdwick said. “I can’t, obviously, predict what they’ll vote.”

Even while playing in aging Joe Louis Arena, the Red Wings have been a model franchise.

“Hockeytown” has been in the playoffs every season for over two decades

and the team has won four Stanley Cup championships since 1997.

The Tigers and Lions have become pretty stable, too. They began playing in downtown stadiums across the street from each other in 2000 and 2002.

Downtown Detroit’s trio of teams — as well as the NBA’s Pistons, who play in suburban Auburn Hills — have had no trouble drawing fans when they’ve been winning. The Tigers, who are trying for their third straight AL Central title, ranked eighth in baseball in average attendance at this year’s All-Star break, according to STATS. That’s in a city where the financial challenges have piled up for years.

Detroit lost a quartermillion residents between 2000 and 2010. Today, the population struggles to stay above 700,000.

If the area’s teams have been able to survive that exodus — even thrive in it — they may not be affected much by the bankruptcy filing, said Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economist at Smith College.

“They have strong ownership groups. It seems to me that they’re going to

be OK,” Zimbalist said.

“The extent to which they’re not OK — that would have been revealed already.”

Tigers owner Mike Ilitch has been willing to inflate the team’s payroll recently, presenting Detroit fans with a roster full of some of the game’s brightest stars, like Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera. Ilitch also owns the Red Wings.

The Lions have been considerably less successful on the field, stumbling to the NFL’s first 0-16 record only a few years ago. But as Zimbalist pointed out, revenue sharing in the deep-pocketed NFL — which signed a nine-year, $27 billion TV rights deal with the networks in 2011 — can help teams overcome challenges their local markets present.

And like so many NFL teams, the Lions still draw big crowds for their eight home games. Last August, Forbes valued the team at $855 million. That put the Lions near the bottom of their league, but they were still assigned a higher value than the Tigers, who at $643 million ranked 13th in baseball before the start of this season.
