Pope: Resist ‘idols’ of money, power, pleasure

Obama: Washington took its eye off economic ball GALESBURG, Ill. (AP) — President Barack Obama said Wednesday that Washington has “taken its eye off the ball” as he pledged a stronger second-term commitment to tackling the economic woes that strain many in the middle class nearly five years after the country plunged into a recession.

Obama returned to the college campus where he gave his first major economic address as a U.S. senator, and he chided Congress for being less concerned about the economy and more about “an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals.”

“I am here to say this needs to

stop,” Obama said in a speech at Knox College. “This moment does not require short term thinking. It does not require having the same old stale debates.”

The president’s attempt to refocus on the economy comes amid some hopeful signs of improvement, with the unemployment rate falling and consumer Obama confidence on the rise.

But looming spending and budget deadlines this fall could upend that progress if Washington spirals into contentious fiscal fights like those that plagued Obama’s first term.

“I believe there are members of both parties who understand what’s at stake,” Obama said.

“But I will not allow gridlock, inaction or willful indifference to get in our way.”

Even before the president spoke, Republicans panned his pivot back to the economy as little more than vague, empty promises.

“It’s a hollow shell, it’s an Easter Egg with no candy in it,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

The president announced no fresh policy proposals, though he promised new ideas in a

In a story in Wednesday’s Troy Daily News, it stated that a Troy teen plead guilty to a charge of criminal mischief in regard to the threats at Troy Junior High School.

He pleaded to criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, in May then was found guilty by the judge in June of felony inducing panic.

The sentencing Tuesday was based on that adjudication. No pleas were entered Tuesday. The Troy Daily News apologizes for the error.

series of speeches he plans in the coming weeks. They will focus on manufacturing, education, housing, retirement security and health care.

On education, the president promised to outline “an aggressive strategy to shake up the system, tackle rising costs, and improve value for middle-class students and their families.” He renewed his call for increasing the minimum wage.

Despite pressing public concerns over jobs and economic security, the economy has taken a back seat in Washington to other issues in the first six

TROY — The Troy Planning Commission approved one downtown historic district sign for a business and one awning with conditions on Wednesday.

The Troy Planning Commission gave its approval for a black and white sign for Carr Insurance Agency to replace the State Farm Insurance sign at 115 S. Market St. The sign met all required zoning codes and was approved by the commission.

The commission had a few stipulations for the proposed black canvas awning at 322 W. Main St., Troy. Owner John Coomer requested the black canvas awning to be part of the historic building. The awning projects 37 inches in to the public right of way. Commission members approved the awning as long as it is more than 86 inches in height or taller for proper clearance for pedestrians.

The commission also met Duane Puckett, former parking patrolman of the city of Troy, as the new zoning inspector for the city.

Jill Rhoades was also introduced to the commission as the city’s assistant engineer. Rhoades was Staff Photos | ANTHONY WEBER formerly employed by the Miami County Sanitary Department as an engineer.

Park superintendent lays out 5-year plan Teen in custody Duke Park’s shelters in need of repair

By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Making a list and checking it twice, the city of Troy’s park superintendent, Jeremy Drake, took members of the park board on a tour of the city parks Tuesday and shared numerous park changes and listed off future improvement projects.

Drake, along with park board members Becky Pierce, Alan Kappers and Stan Phillips, toured Troy’s Community Park, Duke Park, Archer Park, Trostel Park and several others on Tuesday evening.

As part of the tour, Drake said

he presented a five-year park plan to the board for their additions and review for the 2014 budget and for future planing purposes. Drake said the park’s annual budget is approximately $990,000 per year for the city’s 28 parks, including 318 acres of green space to maintain.

“I wanted to give the board a five-year plan to review of a maintenance schedule, improvements that could be done and have some input on how to keep the parks up-to-date while looking ahead,” Drake said.

One major improvement to the Community Park’s landscape will be the Barn in the Park’s siding project, which

will be completed in a month.

For a full story of the Barn in the Park’s restoration, see Saturday’s edition of the Troy Daily News.

Drake said the biggest issue at Duke Park is the eight shelter roofs that need new shingles.

“The shingles have been falling off and starting to leak, so fixing that will be part of the 2014 budget list,” Drake said Wednesday. Archer Park’s shelter house also is on the list to receive new roof shingles in 2015, Drake said.

Drake said future improvements to Duke Park include developing the south end of the park for more soccer fields and parking.

The name George — borne by six kings — befits the boy now third in line to the British throne and was a favorite among British bookmakers, evoking the steadfastness of the queen’s father, George VI, who rallied the nation during World War II. Alexander is a name shared by three medieval Scottish kings, and Louis could be a tribute to Lord Louis Mountbatten, uncle to the queen’s husband, Prince Philip, and the last British viceroy of India before it gained independence in 1947. William’s father, Prince Charles, was close to Mountbatten, who was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army in 1979.

The announcement of the name, just two days after the baby’s birth, was quick by royal standards. Queen Elizabeth II and Philip took a month before settling on the name Charles for the Prince of Wales. Charles and Princess Diana took a week before settling on William’s four names.

AP Photo Members of the media report about the royal baby, backdropped by the Kensington Palace, where Prince William, his wife Kate, and their newborn son will live, in London, Wednesday. Britain’s new prince has been named George Alexander Louis, royal officials said Wednesday, ending speculation over what the couple would pick for their first child.

Park n Continued from page 2 “That’s a plan for down the road,” Drake said.

“We looked at the area around the south part of the park for more soccer fields and parking areas.”

Board member Alan Kappers said along with the new soccer fields, the possibility of a second entrance to the park would better serve the patrons of Duke Park.

Kappers also said on the long “wish list” is for the department to some day have both its officers

www.troydailynews.com

and its equipment housed in the same location in the future.

Kappers also said the highlight of the park tour for him was the newly complete renovation of the baseball field at Trostel Park on Union Street. Ted Mercer, owner of The Mercer Group, a company that specializes in building and maintaining athletic playing fields, restored the baseball diamond beginning in March 2013. The baseball field

has since been renamed Mercer Group Field.

“It’s one of our very best fields,” Drake said.

“It was the first time some of the board members had seen the field all redone and they were quite impressed.”

“Ted Mercer and the Mercer Group did a great job with that,” Kappers said Wednesday.

Both Kappers and Drake said the field will get a lot of use in the neighborhood as well as

the Troy Recreational Department program, which will host games at Mercer Group Field.

More than 880 tons of topsoil went on top of 7,000 tons of fill dirt to bring the field to a level playing surface.

Mercer Group donated all the time, labor and materials to build the field. The Mercer Group also will continue to maintain the field including mowing, infield screening and lining, fer-

tilization and general ball field maintenance.

The board also toured Treasure Island and Joe Reardon Skate Park.

Drake said he and the board will meet to discuss the five-year park plan and review changes and input from the board members at its next meeting.

80 miles an hour. The deputy activated lights and sirens but Thompson, the driver of the white Chevrolet Cavalier, continued to elude the sheriff cruiser, speeding through a red light at Water and Adams streets. Thompson continued to speed through the city of Troy before stopping at the intersection of W. Staunton Street and Adams Street.

Officers cuffed Thompson and his passenger, Brandon Eskew, 19, with assistance from Troy Police.

Eskew said Thompson picked him up and was giving

him a ride home when they began racing the other car at Eldean Road on County Road 25-A. According to the report, Eskew said Thompson said something about running from the cops and that Thompson said “he wanted to get to his house at 275 Riverside Drive.”

Eskew further stated, ” I did not know that he was going to run from the cops.”

When Thompson was asked why he did not stop when he saw the cruiser’s lights and sirens he stated, “My uncle called me and said

that something happened to my dog and I needed to get home.” Thompson admitted to was drag racing, but denied trying to elude police. Officers searched the car and found a small bag of marijuana in the console of the car, but Thompson said he did not know “how it got there.”

The evidence was seized and was booked into the Miami County Sheriff’s Office property room. Thompson was no longer listed as an inmate at the Miami County Jail as of press time.

tion, too.

The president said that while he will continue to press for his other agenda items, there will be few resources and little resolve for solving other problems without a strong economy.

Perhaps more than any other issue, the economy will also be central to Obama’s legacy as president. The deep economic troubles that accompanied his first inauguration have eased and the stock market has soared. But at 7.6. percent, the nationwide unemployment rate remains high and millions more Americans are underemployed or have seen their wages stagnate.

“This growing inequality isn’t just morally wrong. It’s bad econom-

ics,” Obama said. “When the rungs on the ladder of opportunity grow farther apart, it undermines the very essence of this country.”

The economic themes Obama spoke of Wednesday were strikingly similar to address at Knox College eight years ago as a young Illinois senator. White House advisers say Obama has frequently harkened back to that speech throughout his two runs for the White House and nearly five years as president.

The economy in the surrounding Galesburg, Ill., community reflects much of the underlying economic concerns facing Americans. A Maytag plant in the town shuttered its doors in 2004, leaving hundreds of

people unemployed.

Today, the factory still sits vacant. Galesburg’s unemployment rate is just under 8 percent and nearly one-quarter of its population lives in poverty.

“Those old days aren’t coming back,” Obama conceded. He said the proposals he will outline in speeches later this summer will be aimed at adapting the U.S. economy to an increasingly competitive and interconnected world.

Among the initiatives Obama will tout in the coming weeks is preschool for all 4-year-olds and training tailored to the jobs of the future, along with a strategy to tackle the rising cost of higher education.

The president also promised steps to encourage homeownership, make it easier for people to save for retirement and to continue to put in place the elements of his unpopular health care law in the face of efforts by Republicans in Congress to repeal, delay or eliminate funding for its various parts.

He also pledged new efforts to help manufacturers bring jobs back to America and to create jobs in the energy sectors of wind, solar and natural gas.

From Galesburg, Obama planned to travel to neighboring Missouri for a similar economic speech. He was also scheduled to visit a port Jacksonville, Fla., on Thursday to call for increased spending on infrastructure

months of Obama’s second term. That’s in part due to the White House’s decision to focus on other agenda items following Obama’s reelection, most notably stricter gun control measures and immigration.

Some distractions also have thrown the White House off balance, including revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted political groups and the Justice Department’s seizure of journalists’ phone records. Foreign policy crises, particularly in the Middle East, have competed for Obama’s atten-

Annual Dugan cancer fundraiser to benefit massage therapy The John J. Dugan Memorial Fund for Cancer Care continues to allow the UVMC Cancer Care Center to provide a variety of services to patients including new massage therapy.

“I am so grateful. The generosity that our community has for our cancer care center is amazing, and it just continues,” said Jean Heath, Cancer Care Center Director.

“People keep giving and, through their generosity, we are able to provide all of these services.”

The Dugan Memorial Fund’s annual reception this year was held at the Piqua home of Stacy and Benny Scott.

The event, in its ninth year, was attended by more than 125 people and raised more than $50,000.

John J. Dugan was a Miami County commissioner and long-time supporter of UVMC at the time of his death in 2003 from complications of esophageal cancer.

His family chose to honor him through support of the local Cancer Care Center.

That commitment has raised more than $410,000 for center projects. In 2012, the event featured the opening of the John J. Dugan Infusion

Center at the new Cancer Care Center. Previous fund projects included the healing garden now starting to bloom outside the center.

This year’s event dollars will underwrite the new integrative/complementary medicine component of massage therapy for patients, said Kathie Scarbrough, president and executive director of the UVMC Foundation.

Heath said the complimentary therapy began June 1 and is being offered by Theresa Ann Nelson, a licensed massage therapist. The therapy available includes massage, reflexology, hand massage and chair massage. Any therapy is voluntary and approved by the patient’s physician.

“What we have found so far is patients feel more relaxed, all feel very positive about the experience,” Heath said.

Evidence supports the benefit of therapeutic massage in helping boost the immune system, restoring energy and helping patients deal with the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, she said.

Jean Dugan, John’s wife, said she is “so happy to see the continued support from the communi-

ty for the Cancer Care Center. We have dedicated donors who have been with the John .J. Dugan Memorial Fund for the Cancer Care Center for nine years now. Each year new donors join this wonderful cause.”

The Dugans’ son, Brian Dugan, said the family is very happy the event has contributed so much money and energy to the Cancer Center and Infusion Center.

“Dad would be very happy to see so many of his friends contributing to this great cause,” Brian Dugan said.

The event is unique, in part, by its venue at an area family’s home.

Jean Dugan said she is honored by the continued “generosity of families who allow this event to be held at their lovely homes.”

In addition to the Scotts, the following have hosted the event: Bill and Wanda Lukens, Henry and Linda Ernst, Dr. Norman and Georgia Armstrong, Tom Hagan, Brent Black, Greg and Laura Stephens and Dave and Sally Waibel. The John J. Dugan Infusion Center hosted the event as part of its opening in 2012.

FFA alumni sponsor scholarships CASSTOWN — The Miami East FFA Alumni Chapter recently recognized graduates of Miami East High School that had been enrolled in agricultural education and members of the FFA Chapter.

In order to qualify for the scholarship, the applicants completed an essay on “The Benefits of Agricultural Education” and been active in the FFA chapter for at least one year. Each recipient received a cash scholarship to be used for their further education.

Sarah Pyers is the daughter of Kevin and Lori Pyers of Troy. She has participated in Food Science, attended state and national FFA conventions, and served as a chapter officer. She earned

her State FFA Degree and was second in the state in the Specialty Crop Production Proficiency.

She will be attending Findlay University majoring in occupational therapy.

Emily Johnson is the daughter of Jim and Kris Johnson of Casstown.

She served as a chapter officer for three years, earned her State FFA Degree and was second in the state in the Sheep Production Proficiency.

She will be attending Urbana University to major in communications and marketing.

Jeni Slone is the daughter of Samantha Gallager of Troy. She has participated in FFA Camp, Ag Day and Farm Safety Day. She plans on attending

college in the medical field and someday plans on enrolling in the military.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Savannah Morning News on Detroit: Detroit’s decline as a great American city did not start on the outside. The rot started from within.

That’s a lesson all municipal governments must learn.

Last Thursday, Detroit became the biggest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, who approved the action, said the city’s sorry financial condition left him no choice.

And sadly, he’s right.

This historic move marks a new low for the once-robust Motor City. In the 1950s, Detroit was the nation’s fourth-largest city with nearly 2 million residents. Its muscular automotive industry was the envy of the country and the world. Life and opportunities there were good. It shined with civic pride.

Today, the city is a basket case. Its population has fallen to 700,000 as people fled the city, citing deteriorating services, rising crime, City Hall corruption and other forms of urban cancers. Detroit’s city government faces $18.5 billion in total liabilities, including $11.5 billion in unsecured debt.

Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr said the city had filed for bankruptcy because it would take more than 50 years to pay off the city’s unsecured debt while not conducting even the most basic maintenance, such as filling potholes and plowing snow.

Michigan taxpayers have been floating the city loans to keep it from going under. But Mr. Snyder said it’s time for tough medicine, especially since Mr. Orr was unable to persuade unions, pension boards and other creditors to pitch in and do their part to help Detroit get back on its feet.

Such selfishness is a big part of the reason the city is in such a mess. It’s incredibly foolish that those who were partly responsible want no part of the cleanup.

Late Friday, a county judge ruled that the bankruptcy filing violates the state’s constitution — a sop to retirees who don’t want to give up their lavish pensions, which are inexcusable given the circumstances. But legal experts predicted it won’t have any bearing on the federal court proceeding.

Detroit’s politicians failed to understand that they can’t spend more than they take in, that high taxes drive away jobs and businesses and that buying votes through costly union contracts and pension plans has huge costs.

Now it’s time to hit the reset button so the city can restructure its debts and get a fair shot at starting over. If the unions are smart, they’ll be part of the solution.

The Miami Herald on Obama administration must push for stronger U.N. response: The seizure in Panama of the Chong Chon Gang, a rusty old North Korean ship carrying last century’s Soviet-era weapons from Cuba hidden under 250,000 sacks of brown sugar, may seem to have the wacky trappings of a Gilligan’s Island episode with a Cold War flashback that includes a rioting crew and a captain threatening to kill himself when Panamanian soldiers boarded his ship.

But as the ship’s containers begin to be cleared of the 100-pound bags of sugar and the weapons systems are exposed and analyzed by experts, no one’s laughing. The case for maintaining a tough line on North Korea and Cuba has been strengthened.

The Obama administration, which has spent years tossing carrots at both communist countries, keeps finding that neither wants to nibble. They’re too busy, after all, plotting against the United States and the United Nations.

Any talk of removing the communist island from the State Department’s terror list remains a fool’s errand when faced with more evidence of Cuba’s role as a pass-through for every renegade nation and terrorist group that seeks harbor there.

The Cuban and North Korean communist dictatorships maintain Cuba was sending “obsolete defensive weapons” for repairs in North Korea so that Cuba can “protect its sovereignty.” …

U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and past chair, is right to call for North Korea to be put back on the terror list. And those hoping to get Cuba pulled off the terror list should have gotten their wake-up call about the Castro brothers’ ill will, too.

This is no time to be chummy with rogue regimes. Keep Cuba where it belongs — on the terror list — and add North Korea to the membership because both countries have demonstrated that they cannot be trusted.

LETTERS Obama is what’s wrong with America To the Editor: Please allow me to say what everyone is (or at least should be) thinking: President Obama is the worst president in the history of the United States of America!

How much longer are we going to ignore this fact? He has ruined our economy, ruined our military, put lives in danger, destroyed our healthcare and essentially done everything but hand us over to a foreign country.

At first I just thought he was incapable of doing the job he was elected to do (TWICE! Thanks a lot, 50 million voting morons).

I no longer feel that way. In fact, I think I

may have underestimated him. He is not a stupid man at all. He is a very smart man — a smart man who is trying to destroy this country and all it stands for from the inside.

Of course, thanks to the people who elected him, there doesn’t seem to be much we can do about it except try to survive for the next three years. Hopefully we aren’t all signing a different national anthem and saluting a different flag by the time that happens.

So thank you, again, all of you who voted for him. I hope you are happy with what you got.

I know I’m sure not.

Doonesbury

We’re all searching for a place to call home Deep down, I think everyone just wants a place to call home.

Not a house, mind you — which is often just bricks, mortar and wood — but a place to call home. Not a place to merely eat, sleep and watch the latest blather on television, but a sanctuary in which we truly feel at peace. A home is a place in which we feel as though we are invincible and nothing can do us harm. A home is a place where fears and anguish are washed away and tranquility can be found within.

For Ishmael, the main character in Herman Melville’s seminal work, “Moby Dick,” that was place the sea. For author and transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, home was Walden Pond. For recently passed journalist Roger Ebert, that place was the movie theater.

For me, home is Troy Memorial Stadium.

I grew up in Troy Memorial Stadium. At first, I was dragged to soccer games and track meets for my older brothers and sisters — sometimes literally. But along the way, something happened.

I stopped protesting. I began looking forward to the time I would spend

in Troy Memorial Stadium. In junior an empty parking lot and stand outhigh school, Friday nights football side the fence looking in. Whenever games became a social event — the friends from out of town came to visit, place I went to when I wanted to be the first place I took them was Troy ignored by junior high girls Memorial Stadium. and catch a football game in Still is. the process.

I would often pull up in Memorial Stadium.

And I think that’s a big part of my affinity for that place. Troy Memorial Stadium gets older every year. I get older every year. But every year, there’s a fresh, young crop of athletes ready to take the field and follow in the same footsteps as so many generations before them. There’s an innocence about the place — for many athletes, that stadium represents the end of their athletic careers. But it doesn’t matter to them. So long as they are on that field, they are invincible. They will never grow old and nothing can ever harm them.

Troy Memorial Stadium is like a fountain of youth — it has a way of making everyone feel young and strong and powerful.

But the fact of the matter is we all do grow old. At some point, we all leave this Earth, despite what magical powers Troy Memorial Stadium may seem to possess.

When my time comes, I hope they bury me at Troy Memorial Stadium.

That way I can always watch the Trojans play.

AP Photos Suveer Kothari, center, displays how the new Chromecast device operates a television with the use of a smartphone during a Google event on Wednesday in San Francisco.

Google unveils new Nexus 7, Internet TV device SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google is betting consumers will pay slightly more for a sleeker, more powerful version of its Nexus 7 tablet as the Internet company escalates its rivalry with Apple and Amazon.com in technology’s key battleground — the mobile computing market.

The fancier devices unveiled Wednesday in San Francisco will go on sale in the U.S next Tuesday in Google’s online store and numerous retailers with brick-and-mortar stores.

Among other things, the souped-up line of Nexus tablets will boast a higherdefinition 7-inch display screen and a processor that promises to be nearly as twice as fast. Dual stereo speakers have been added for richer sound, and the device’s battery duration has been extended to 10 hours for Web browsing, an increase of about an hour.

On other fronts, Google Inc. also unveiled a gadget that will lean on its widely used Chrome Web browser and take aim at Apple on another front — the living room.

The new device, called Chromecast, is part of the company’s attempt to make it easier for people to access Internet content on their TVs. Chromecast is a small stick roughly the same size as a thumb drive that can be plugged into an HDMI port on flat-panel TVs. It brings Netflix, Google’s YouTube site and other Internet content to what is usually the biggest screen in households.

Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps said Chromecast could undermine Apple in the still-nascent market to plug streaming devices into TVs, just as the Nexus tablets have siphoned some sales away from Apple’s iPad. Google’s previous products designed to connect TV sets to the Internet haven’t worked out well.

The company initially tried to embed an operating system called Google TV into sets made by TV manufacturers, but that

The new Google Chromecast device is shown Wednesday in San Francisco.

flopped. Last year, Google introduced an orb-like device called the Nexus Q in hopes of delivering more Internet video to flat-panel TVs, only to quickly pull the product from the market.

“Chromecast looks like a smart and disruptive device,” Rotman Epps said.

“Maybe it took the other failures for Google to get it right.”

Google wants to have a presence on TVs because it could open up a lucrative new channel for it to sell more ads, which bring in most of its revenue.

In a show of its determination to make inroads on TVs, Google started selling Chromecast for just $35 on Wednesday. That price undercuts the most popular Internet-streaming devices made by Apple and Roku. An Apple TV box sells for $99, while the least expensive Roku box capable of showing highdefinition video goes for $80. Roku, a company that formed within Internet video subscription service Netflix Inc., also sells an Internet streaming stick similar to Chromecast for $100.

Earlier this year, Apple revealed that it has sold more than 13 million of its streaming boxes. Roku said its sales of streaming boxes surpassed 5 million units this year.

The Chromecast device connects with smartphones, tablets and personal computers to beam Internet connect to TVs. The Apple and Roku streaming boxes rely on a

standard remote control to select Internet content.

As an enticement to get people to try Chromecast, Google is offering three months of free Netflix service with a purchase of the Internet-streaming stick.

That translates to a $24 value, leaving the cost of the device at $11 for those who would have gotten Netflix anyway.

As for the Nexus 7, the extra firepower added to the second generation of the tablets will come with a higher price. A model with 16 gigabytes of storage will sell for $229, a $30 per increase from the current Nexus 7 released a year ago. That’s still 30 percent below the $329 that Apple Inc. charges for its iPad Mini. A comparable Kindle Fire HD tablet from Amazon.com Inc. currently sells for $199.

A 32-gigabyte version of the Nexus 7 will sell for $269, a $20 price increase.

The price hike for the Nexus 7 comes at a time when more people have been showing a preference for less expensive tablets.

Google helped propel the trend with last year’s introduction of the Nexus line, contributing to pressure for Apple to come out with the iPad Mini as an alternative to its top-selling tablets with a 10-inch screen.

Google is confident the Nexus 7 will still look like a great value once consumers see how much more powerful the new models are, said Sundar Pichai, an executive who oversees the company’s Android and Chrome software.

Authorities see no sheen near burning Gulf rig NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An outof-control natural gas well burned Wednesday off Louisiana hours after it ignited following a blowout, though authorities said there was no sign of a slick on the surface of the water.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement says it saw no sheens near the well during flyovers Wednesday morning. The lack of sheen indicates the gas is burning off without releasing oil or other hydrocarbons — which are sometimes found in gas wells — into the water.

The fire broke out late Tuesday following a blowout in the morning, authorities said. Forty-four workers were evacuated from the drilling rig, and no injuries were reported.

Officials stressed that the blowout wouldn’t be nearly as damaging as the 2010 BP (NYSE:BP) (TSX:BP’U) oil spill. That disaster included an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling that killed 11 workers and the release of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

Natural gas generally poses much less of an environmental risk to the Gulf than crude oil, said several scientists contacted about Tuesday’s blowout.

“Gas being discharged now would not necessarily affect the water system of the Gulf proper,” said Donald Boesch, president of the University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Science and a member of the federal panel that investigated the BP oil spill.

That’s because it’s likely most of the gas is venting directly into the atmosphere given the fire and shallow depth of the

well, he said.

Also, by nature natural gas — mostly methane — is far more soluble than oil, meaning it more easily dissolves, dilutes and disperses than crude oil, Boesch said. And that means concentrations that are far less lethal to the marine environment, he said.

The federal authorities said in a news release that well owner Walter Oil & Gas was preparing to move equipment to the area in case it needs to drill a relief well.

The owner of the blown rig, Hercules Offshore Inc. (NASDAQ:HERO) , said the relief well was among options being

considered.

Two firefighting vessels had to be moved away to a safe distance from the fire, according to the federal news release. A third was being brought to the area.

The gas blowout was reported Tuesday morning.

The Coast Guard kept nautical traffic out of an area within 500 meters of the site throughout the day. The Federal Aviation Administration restricted aircraft up to 2,000 feet above the area.

On Tuesday before the fire broke out, a light sheen had been spotted by fed-

eral inspectors.

Earlier this month, a gas well off the Louisiana coast flowed for several days before being sealed.

Chris Roberts, a member of the Jefferson Parish Council in south Louisiana, said the travel restrictions might pose an inconvenience for participants in an upcoming deep sea fishing tournament.

“It could change some plans as to where some people plan to fish,” he said.

Tuesday’s blowout occurred near an unmanned offshore gas platform that was not currently producing natural gas. The workers were aboard a portable drilling rig known as a jackup rig, owned by Hercules Offshore Inc., which was a contractor for exploration and production company Walter Oil & Gas Corp.

Walter Oil & Gas reported to the BSEE that the rig was completing a “sidetrack well” — a means of re-entering the original well bore, Angelico said.

The purpose of the sidetrack well in this instance was not immediately clear. A spokesman for the corporation did not have the information Tuesday night. Industry websites say sidetrack wells are sometimes drilled to remedy a problem with the existing well bore.

“It’s a way to overcome an engineering problem with the original well,” Ken Medlock, an energy expert at Rice University’s Baker Institute said.

“They’re not drilled all the time, but it’s not new.”

Lawyer: Snowden to stay in Russia for now AP Photo New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner is pursued by reporters in New York on Wednesday. The former congressman acknowledged sending explicit text messages to a woman as recently as last summer, more than a year after sexting revelations destroyed his congressional career.

Weiner shrugs off demands that he drop out NEW YORK (AP) — Anthony Weiner pressed ahead with his campaign for mayor Wednesday, shrugging off growing calls for him to drop out over a newly disclosed round of raunchy exchanges with a woman online.

As rivals and newspapers pressed the Democrat to bow out a day after he acknowledged he kept sexting even after it destroyed his congressional career two years ago, he prepared to testify at a public housing hearing and participate in a candidate forum in the evening.

“I have posited this whole campaign on a bet, and that is that, at the end of the day, citizens are more interested in the challenge they face in their lives than in anything that I have done, embarrassing, in my past,” he told an encampment of reporters as he left his Manhattan home in the morning.

“This is not about me” but about voters, he said, and headed for his campaign office.

The latest scandal erupted Tuesday after the gossip website The Dirty posted X-rated messages and a crotch shot it said he exchanged with a woman last year while using the online alias “Carlos Danger.”

At a news conference Tuesday evening, Weiner, who has been a favorite in polls since he launched his political comeback attempt in late May, stood side-by-side with his clearly uncomfortable wife, Huma Abedin, and said he hoped the voters would give him another chance.

Abedin, a longtime adviser to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, reaffirmed her love and support for her husband and said the matter was “between us.”

On Wednesday, two of the city’s major newspapers, The New York Times and the Daily News, said the 48-year-old Democrat had exhausted his opportunities for forgiveness with his latest indiscretions, which went on well after he resigned from Congress because of similar behavior.

“The serially evasive Mr. Weiner should take his marital troubles and personal compulsions out of the public eye” and the mayoral race, the Times wrote.

The Daily News declared Weiner to be “lacking the dignity and discipline that New York deserves in a mayor,” and said “his demons have no place in City Hall.”

At least three of his mayoral opponents, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and former City Councilman Sal Albanese, both Democrats, and billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis, a Republican, agreed he should drop out.

“Anthony’s presence in this race has become a neverending sideshow that is distracting us from the debate of the serious issues of this election,” de Blasio said.

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and former City Comptroller Bill Thompson, Weiner’s strongest rivals in the polls, criticized him but didn’t directly call on him to quit the race.

Thompson said on WNYC-AM that Weiner should “think about the people of this city and make the right decision,” while Quinn said at a news conference that it was up to Weiner and his family to decide whether he should end his run, but New Yorkers “need a mayor whose is sole focus isn’t self-aggrandizement.”

MOSCOW (AP) — Edward Snowden may be settling in for a long stay in Russia, his lawyer indicated Wednesday, saying the National Security Agency leaker plans to start studying the Russian language and culture and that, for the time being, Russia is his final destination.

Anatoly Kucherena’s comments came after the lawyer met with Snowden in the transit zone of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo international airport amid Russian news reports that Snowden was about to receive documents that would allow him to leave the airport where he’s apparently been marooned for more than a month.

Some Russian news agencies cited unidentified sources as saying Kucherena would deliver the documents to Snowden, but the lawyer later said there was no such paperwork.

Snowden has applied for temporary asylum in Russia.

In a meeting with human rights activists two weeks ago, Snowden reportedly said he eventually wanted to visit Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua, all of which have offered him asylum. But Kucherena cast doubt on those intentions after Wednesday’s meeting.

“Russia is his final destination for now. He doesn’t look further into the future than that,” Kucherena said on state television.

The lawyer said that Snowden is staying in the transit zone “for now” and “intends to stay in Russia, study Russian culture.”

The American applied for temporary asylum in Russia last week after his attempts to leave the airport and fly out of Russia were thwarted. The United States wants him

AP Photo This Sunday, June 9, 2013 file photo provided by The Guardian Newspaper in London shows Edward Snowden, in Hong Kong. Russian state news agency said Wednesday hat U.S. leaker Edward Snowden has been granted a document that allows him to leave the transit zone of a Moscow airport and enter Russia. Snowden has applied for temporary asylum in Rusia last week after his attempts to leave the airport were thwarted. The United States wants him sent home to face prosecution for espionage.

sent home to face prosecution for espionage.

S nowden, who revealed details of the NSA’s wide-ranging spying activities targeting data and phone communication, is believed to have been staying at the transit zone of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport since June 23, when he arrived on a flight from Hong Kong.

Kucherena told journalists that he has brought fresh clothes for Snowden along with several books for the American to read, including one by Anton Chekhov and Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel “Crime and Punishment.”

The novel is about the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of a poor ex-student who kills a pawnbroker for her cash, and Kucherena said Snowden might find it interesting. But the lawyer told Rossiya-24: “I’m not implying he’s going through a similar mental anguish.”

President Vladimir

Putin has said that Snowden can be granted asylum in Russia only if he stops leaking NSA secrets.

A spokeswoman for Russia’s Federal Migration Service told The Associated Press on Wednesday that it had no information about the status of Snowden’s application for asylum.

Granting Snowden asylum would add new

tensions to U.S.-Russian relations already strained

by Washington’s criticism of Russia’s pressure on opposition groups, Moscow’s suspicion of U.S. missiledefense plans in Europe, and Russia’s resistance to proposed sanctions against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Friday, July 26, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This morning, you might have unrealistic expectations of co-workers.

Later you'll get the support you need with supplies, equipment, money, budget allocations and advice.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have high hopes for romance, sports events or social occasions.

Later today, someone older and wiser can help you make these dreams a reality.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family members are sympathetic to you today. Fortunately, later in the day, you see ways to make practical changes that will last for a long time in the future.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Wishes that might be pie-in-the-sky early in the day appear doable later in the day. Perhaps this is because you know how to take a new approach to things or modify them.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Financial decisions are tricky today.

Early in the day, you might not have all the facts. Advice from someone older and more experienced will change this later in the day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Relations with others might be unrealistic this morning. Because of this, you could feel disappointed. Later in the day, everything seems to gel perfectly because practical advice smoothes troubled waters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Wait until later in the day before you make decisions. At first, your approach might be too soft or unrealistic. But later, you will see how to do what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If you are disappointed today, especially this morning, ask yourself if your expectations are realistic.

Someone older or more experienced might shed new light on this for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A crush on your boss or someone in authority might grip you this morning. Later, someone older and wiser will cast a new light on things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with a partner or a close friend might disappoint you this morning. Don't worry; later in the day, you see practical ways to join forces.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Feelings of sympathy make you want to help someone or give something, yet you feel unsure. Later you will see how to properly help someone.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Advice from someone older or more experienced will help you make travel plans or explore opportunities in higher education. Wait until later in the day to make sure you know what you're doing.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a strong personality and make a strong impression on others. You're dynamic, dramatic and original. You freely speak your mind and often have outrageous viewpoints. Nevertheless, you are influential because others admire your ideas and talents. You're also not afraid to take a chance because, by nature, you're a gambler. This year, an important choice will arise. Choose wisely.

Pope Francis points to the statue of Our Lady of Aparecida to pilgrims and faithful from the lodge of the Our Lady of Aparecida Basilica in Aparecida, Brazil, Wednesday. Pope Francis is on the third day of his trip to Brazil where he will attend the 2013 World Youth Day in Rio.

Pope: Resist ‘idols’ of money, power, pleasure

APARECIDA, Brazil (AP) — Pope Francis urged Catholics to resist the “ephemeral idols” of money, power and pleasure in celebrating the first public Mass of his initial international foreign journey as pontiff during an emotional visit to one of the most important shrines in Latin America.

Thousands packed into the huge Basilica of the Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida, tucked into an agricultural region of verdant fields halfway between Rio and Sao Paulo, and tens of thousands more braved a cold rain outside to catch a glimpse of the first pope from the Americas returning to a shrine of great meaning to the continent and him personally.

Before the Mass, Francis stood in silent prayer in front of the 15-inch-tall image of the Virgin of Aparecida, the “Black Mary,” his eyes tearing up as he breathed heavily. It was a deeply personal moment for this pontiff, who has entrusted his papacy to the Virgin Mary and, like many Catholics in Latin America, places great importance in devotion to Mary.

After his Mass, the pope blessed the tens of thousands gathered outside the basilica and announced that he would return to Aparecida in 2017, the year that marks the 300th anniversary of a fisherman finding the Black Mary statue in a nearby river.

During his homily, Francis urged Catholics to keep their values of faith, generosity and fraternity, a message he was expected to repeat later in the day during a visit to a drug rehabilitation center in Rio de Janeiro.

“It is true that nowadays, to some extent, everyone including our young people feels attracted by the many idols which take the place of God and appear to offer hope: money, success, power, pleasure,” he said. “Often a growing sense of loneliness and emptiness in the hearts of many people leads them to seek satisfaction in these ephemeral idols.”

The church is struggling in Latin America to keep Catholics from straying to evangelical and Pentecostal churches that often promise help in finding material wealth, an alluring attraction in a poverty-wracked continent. Francis’ top priority as pope has been to reach out to the world’s poor and inspire Catholic leaders to go to slums and other peripheries to preach.

It was no coincidence, then, that the first major event of his first foreign trip as pope was a Mass in Aparecida. The shrine, which draws 11 million pilgrims a year, hosted a critical 2007 meeting of Latin American bishops who, under the guidance of then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, drafted a mission statement on how to reinvigorate the faith on the continent.

Families still separated 60 years after Korean War even if it’s only just once,” the 88-year-old woman said in a faint voice during an interview this week at her home in Gyeongsan, a small city about 330 kilometers (205 miles) southeast of Seoul.

Six decades after the fighting stopped, elderly Koreans separated from their loved ones face an agonizing question: Will they see their relatives on the other side of the divided peninsula before they die?

Millions of families have been separated since the 1950-53 war, which saw huge movements of refugees in both directions. Most don’t even know whether their relatives are still alive because the two countries bar citizens from exchanging mail, phone

calls and email.

About 22,000 North and South Koreans have had brief family reunions — 18,000 in person and the others by video — during a period of detente, but they ended in 2010 when tensions rose again. A proposal earlier this month to discuss resuming reunions quickly fizzled.

“The little bit of hope I had was shattered,” said Cho Il Woong, 81, who left behind his mother, sister and brother when he and his father fled to the South to avoid being drafted into the North Korean army. “People say time cures everything. Time has passed, but it hasn’t cured anything.”

Time is running out too.

South Koreans who want to meet relatives must apply

for a permit, and applicants are then chosen by lottery.

The South Korean Red Cross, which administers the program with its North Korean counterpart, is still accepting applications, even though the program has been suspended for three years.

Most of the people applying for permits are over 70, and already nearly 56,000 of the roughly 129,000 applicants have died.

The Korean Peninsula remains technically at war because the two sides signed an armistice, or truce, but there’s no formal peace treaty.

Family reunions were one of the major inter-Korean cooperation projects that occurred during the detente, beginning two months after a landmark

summit between the leaders of the two Koreas in June 2000.

Each of the reunions brought together weeping family members who embraced each other, desperate for details and news.

They were separated again a few days later. No Korean has received a second chance to meet their relatives, according to South Korean Red Cross officials.

The dramatic scenes, which were shown on television, also affected those like Hong who weren’t chosen in the lottery.

She and her husband, Park Jong Won, married in 1943 at the age of 18 in a match arranged by their families.

She saw him briefly before their marriage, when he dropped by her home with a relative. “I felt good,” she said. “Everyone in our neighborhood thought he was handsome.”

During the interview this week, Hong looked at a blackand-white photo of her husband dressed in a jacket and tie. By her side, her grayhaired and bespectacled son said his mother has often told

him that his father was quiet and liked to drink and eat with friends.

Park was a university student when he was conscripted in August 1950, two months after North Korea invaded the South. Hong had no word about him until one of his friends showed up at her village after the war and told her that he and Park had been held at a prison camp, either in China or North Korea, according to the son, Park Yong Ho, who was five when his father went to war.

GYEONGSAN, South Korea (AP) — Hong Jong Soon gazes out her window for hours each day, past a small garden where sesame and red peppers grow, past an iron gate and low wall, hoping to witness the return of a man she hasn’t seen or talked to in 63 years.

Her husband disappeared after being conscripted into the South Korean army in 1950, taken, she believes, to North Korea during the chaos of the Korean War, which ended 60 years ago Saturday.

Hong, who never remarried, lives in the same place they shared as newlyweds, because she doesn’t want him to get lost when he comes home.

“I won’t have any regrets if I can see him before I die,

No more mail at your door? Delivery changes eyed WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans for generations have come to depend on door-to-door mail delivery. It’s about as American as apple pie.

But with the Postal Service facing billions of dollars in annual losses, the delivery service could be virtually phased out by 2022 under a proposal a House panel was considering Wednesday. Curbside delivery, which includes deliveries to mailboxes at the end of driveways, and cluster box delivery would replace letter carriers slipping mail into front-door boxes.

The proposal is part of broader legislation by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, designed to cut costs at the cash-strapped agency by up to $4.5 billion a year. The Postal Service had a $16 billion loss last year.

The agency has been moving toward curbside and cluster box delivery in new residential developments since the 1970s. The Postal Service in April began deciding whether to provide such delivery for people moving into newly built homes rather than letting the developers decide.

“A balanced approach to saving the Postal Service means allowing USPS to adapt to America’s changing use of mail,” Issa said. “Done right, these reforms can improve the customer experience through a more efficient Postal Service.”

About one in three mail customers has door-to-door delivery, Issa said. The shift would include safe and secure cluster box delivery areas, he said, especially for elderly customers who receive Social Security checks and prescriptions through the mail.

About 30 million residential addresses receive delivery to boxes at the door or a mail slot. Another 87 million residential addresses receive curbside or cluster box delivery.

The cost differences are clear. Curbside delivery costs average $224 per year for each address, while cluster box delivery averages $160. Door-to-door delivery costs the agency about $350 per year, on average.

Sue Brennan, a Postal Service spokeswoman, said, “While converting delivery away from the door to curb or centralized delivery would allow the Postal Service to deliver mail to more addresses in less time, doing so is not included in our five-year plan.”

Brennan said the agency’s five-year plan does call for shifting 20 percent of business address deliveries from door-to-door to curbside and cluster box delivery through 2016.

Rep. Steve Lynch, D-Mass., said the plan to move some 30 million residential addresses from to-the-door to curbside and cluster box service would be virtually impossible in dense urban areas such as his hometown of South Boston crowded with triple-deckers — three apartments stacked on top of each other.

“You’d have to knock houses down in my neighborhood to build cluster boxes,” Lynch said. “This will not work.”

It might work in places like Manhattan with big apartment buildings, he said.

“Look, there’s no availability for cluster boxes in many communities around the country,” Lynch said.

Issa’s plan allows for people with physical hardships to get waivers allowing them to keep door delivery.

There’s also a provision giving people the option to keep door delivery by paying a special fee to cover the additional cost.

Issa’s bill also allows the Postal Service to take into account factors such as poverty rates and population density in deciding which areas would be allowed to keep door delivery.

The financially beleaguered Postal Service, an independent agency, gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations, but is subject to congressional control.

The Postal Service is pursuing a major restructuring throughout its retail, delivery and mail processing operations. Since 2006, it has reduced annual costs by about $15 billion, cut its workforce by 193,000 or 28 percent, and consolidated more than 200 mailprocessing locations.

The service’s losses are largely due to a decline in mail volume and a congressional requirement that it make advance payments to cover expected health care costs for future retirees. About $11.1 billion of last year’s losses were due to payments for future retiree health costs.

Judge freezes challenges to Detroit bankruptcy DETROIT (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday swept aside lawsuits challenging Detroit’s bankruptcy, settling the first major dispute in the scramble to get a leg up just days after the largest filing by a local government in U.S. history.

After two hours of arguments, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes made clear he’s in charge. He granted Detroit’s request to put a permanent freeze on three lawsuits filed in Ingham County, including another judge’s extraordinary decision that Gov. Rick Snyder trampled the Michigan Constitution and acted illegally in approving the Chapter 9 filing.

That ruling and others had threatened to derail the bankruptcy.

Questions about Detroit’s eligibility to turn itself around through bankruptcy “are within this court’s exclu-

sive jurisdiction,” Rhodes said.

He said nothing in federal law or the U.S. Constitution gives a state court a dual role. It was a victory for Detroit, which had warned that it would be “irreparably harmed” if it had to deal with lawsuits in state courts while trying to restructure $18 billion in debt with thousands of creditors.

“Widespread litigation … can only confuse the parties, confuse the case and create serious barriers,” attorney Heather Lennox told the judge.

Creditors “will have their day in court” — bankruptcy court, she said.

The courtroom was jammed with lawyers representing creditors as well as rank-and-file city employees and retirees eager to know the outcome. Some wore T-shirts that said, “Detroit vs. Everybody.”

The right place

By JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

Jenna Selby knew she’d found the right place.

As to how her experience will go there? It will be whatever she wants it to be.

Selby, who led the Troy High School volleyball team to a 20-5 record, a Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title, a GWOC Tournament championship and the Division I district championship game during her senior season with the Trojans, signed on to continue her volleyball career at Lewis University, an NCAA Division II school in Illinois.

Lewis is located in Romeoville, a suburb of Chicago. But Selby isn’t worried about living that close to a big city after living in Troy. “(Romeoville) is a suburb of Chicago, but it still has that homey small-town feel like Troy does. It’s just really close to the city,” Selby said. “It’s just a 30-minute train ride to get downtown. I feel like it’s not going to be that much of

a shock to me, but if I wanted it to be a shock, I could make it one and spend a lot of time in the big city itself.”

Selby, who will major in athletic training and possibly minor in marketing, said she visited two other schools during her search, but once she hit Lewis, she knew.

“I liked the location and really clicked with all of the girls on the team on my first visit,” Selby said. “It just seemed like the right place for me.”

As a Trojan, Selby excelled.

She was the GWOC North and District 9 Player of the Year in Division I during her senior season. In addition to the hitting records she holds at the school, she was also a three-time recipient of the Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association (OHSVCA) Academic Award and the American Volleyball Coaches Association Academic Award. She was also picked as a GWOC Allconference Scholar-Athlete during her senior year.

“I feel like my senior class, we left on a really good note,”

Troy’s Jenna Selby goes up for a kill against Butler during the Division I sectional tournament last fall. Selby, now a Troy High School graduate, will attend Lewis University in Illinois this coming fall.

Selby said. “When I think back on it, I’m going to think of all the good memories and how I achieved all of the goals I set for myself in high school.

And now it’s on to a new challenge.

“It’s definitely a big difference,” Selby said. “You go from being a superstar

in your hometown to where everyone on the team was a superstar in their hometown.

To play with girls that are all at the same level as you, to have to compete for your spot, it just makes you want to work harder. It’s a lot more competitive, and a lot of fun.”

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer signals to his Buckeyes during a game against California last season. Meyer spoke on Big Ten media day Wednesday about the team’s recent run-ins with the law.

Suspensions of disbelief ‘Furious’ Meyer speaks on Big Ten media day CHICAGO (AP) — Urban Meyer was hailed as a savior when he agreed to take over Ohio State in the wake of the tattoo scandal that sullied the program. That support became even more frenzied when he coached the Buckeyes to a 12-0 record in his first season.

Like Meyer said Wednesday at the Big Ten media days, it’s been a great year — right up until last weekend.

Running back Carlos Hyde, star cornerback Bradley Roby and two freshmen were disciplined by the school after a run of legal problems that brought to mind the end of Jim Tressel’s time in Columbus, and once

again raised questions about Meyer and how he disciplines his players.

“When a mistake happens or something happened, you have to react and get it done,” Meyer said. “So I’m disappointed. I think furious might be the word that would best describe when I first got the phone call, because, like I said, for 12 months it’s been really, really good.”

Hyde, who had a team-high 17 touchdowns last season, was suspended indefinitely after he was named a person of interest in an investigation into an alleged assault of a woman at a downtown Columbus bar

early Saturday morning. Roby was one of the players selected to represent Ohio State at the kickoff event in Chicago, but he was pulled after he was arrested in Bloomington, Ind., and accused of misdemeanor battery.

Tight end Marcus Baugh also was suspended from all team activities, and Meyer decided to send defensive lineman Tim Gardner back home to Indianapolis. Baugh was arrested last weekend for underage possession of alcohol and possessing a fake identification, and Gardner was charged Saturday night by Columbus police with obstruction of • See DISBELIEF on page 14

Kazmir cuts down Ms Leads Indians to 10-1 victory SEATTLE (AP) — Scott Kazmir feels he’s a complete pitcher now, not just a hard thrower.

Kazmir allowed just one hit over his eight innings, Michael Bourn hit his first career grand slam and the Cleveland Indians downed the Seattle Mariners 10-1 Wednesday afternoon.

The only hit Kazmir (6-4) gave up was a clean leadoff single to center by Justin Smoak in the fifth. Kazmir struck out seven, walked two and allowed an unearned run.

Kazmir came up with Tampa Bay in 2004 and was 55-44 in his six seasons before being traded for the Angels in 2009. The Angels paid him more than $35 million but he lost his velocity and command, won just 11 games before being released in 2011. He played in the Independent League last season.

“I’m even better now. I feel I’m a more complete pitcher,” said Kazmir, who signed a freeagent deal with the Tribe. “I don’t have to throw hard every pitch. I can throw hard when I need

it but I’m throwing my secondary pitches more now. I’m more of a complete pitcher.”

He nearly was a complete-game pitcher against the Mariners. Kazmir, who threw 103 pitches, pretended to hide from manager Terry Francona when he came down the dugout in the eighth to tell him his day was over.

“I wanted to go out there for last one,” Kazmir said. “But I understand.”

Kazmir has thrown just one complete game in his 198 career starts. That was a two-hit 3-0 shutout on July 3, 2006 with Tampa Bay against Boston. Vinnie Pestano took over in the ninth.

“For what he’s been through and where he’s at, that (working the ninth) would have been more managing with my heart than my brain.”

Francona said.

“From day one he’s been great. He’s had a couple rocky starts but he’s been a good pitcher for us,” he added. “We’re proud of him because he’s come a long way. He felt he had a lot to prove and he’s certainly done that. He’s got a lot of baseball left in him.”

Troy Post 43 left last week’s District Legion Tournament disappointed.

Heading into the National Amateur Baseball Federation (NABF) World Series this weekend, the team wanted to make sure it had some positive momentum.

And a grand slam by Joe Martinez was just the exclamation point on a dominant night Tuesday night at Duke Park as Post 43 hammered the Cincinnati Fury 16-3 in its final tuneup before leaving for Youngstown.

Martinez’s grand slam came in the sixth inning with the game already long decided. Troy held a 12-3 lead at that point, having scored four in the bottom of the first and then three more in the second to take a 7-0 lead.

Post 43 never looked back after that.

Hunter Gleadell was 2 for 3 with a double in the game, Dylan Cascaden was 3 for 3 and Nick Antonides was 2 for 3 as Post 43 pounded out 12 hits and cashed in on a pair of errors by the Fury.

After that, Troy coach Frosty Brown substituted freely to get his backups some action heading into an important weekend.

Post 43 used plenty of pitching Tuesday night, also, in preparation.

Dylan Schumaker got the start and went the first three innings, then Alex Brinkman entered in the fourth and eventually got the win. Trenton Wood pitched the sixth and Jimmy Pelphrey pitched the seventh as the staff combined to strike out 10 and scattered eight hits, most of which came in the third when the Fury scored all three of its runs.

Troy lost a pair of games in the district tournament to rival Piqua to finish second, but Tuesday’s win brought the team’s overall mark to 39-12 on the season. Post 43 will now play in the 19-team NABF World Series in Youngstown beginning tonight.

Business as usual Browns moving forward amid federal probe

BEREA (AP) — The legal entanglement of Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is not tying up his NFL franchise, the team’s top executive says.

On the eve of training camp, CEO Joe Banner said the federal investigation into fraud at Haslam’s Pilot Flying J truck-stop business has not hindered the club’s daily operations or impacted the owner’s vision for turning the Browns into perennial winners.

And as for the possibility Haslam will sell his team, Banner does not envision that happening.

“I don’t see that scenario, but you know,” Banner said before trailing off.

In a wide-ranging interview on Wednesday, Banner spoke openly about Haslam’s situation, which hangs over a team that has had just two winning seasons since its rebirth in 1999.

Banner tried to ease the concerns of some nervous Cleveland fans, who fear the ongoing federal probe will derail the team’s plans and lead to further turmoil.

Haslam, who bought the Browns last year from Randy Lerner, recently reached a settlement with some Pilot Flying J customers who were cheated out of rebate money.

Haslam has professed his innocence since FBI and IRS agents raided the company’s Knoxville, Tenn., headquarters on April 15.

While Banner appreciates there are those who worry about the team’s future, he said nothing has interrupted the plan Haslam launched last August.

“It really hasn’t affected us at all,” he said.

“We have a team we put together here of really, really good people, whether we’re talking the coaching staff, the business side, even our foundation.

We’re really excited about the team we put together.

“Jimmy really had a vision. He spoke about what his priorities were around creating a phenomenal fan experience and being focused on winning fans again. He hired me. We put together a team on a day-to-day basis to accomplish that.

We’re free and clear to do all that. Nothing has happened to impact our ability to do that or frankly given us any reason not to be successful.”

Banner said Haslam has remained involved in every aspect of the Browns since the investigation began and that he’s determined to see

AP file photo Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon catches a pass during practice April 17 in Berea. Gordon’s suspension is one of many issues surrounding the Browns during training camp.

every aspect of his plan through.

“Jimmy’s here and incredibly supportive and a huge asset to us,” said Banner, who spent 14 seasons in Philadelphia’s front office before coming to Cleveland. “He’s made it clear and I’ve tried to make it clear without any ambiguity at all that he’s not going to sell the team.”

Haslam is expected to be on the field Thursday when coach Rob Chudzinski holds his first practice.

The league has reserved any comment on Haslam’s off-field issues until the situation is resolved. Still, Banner believes commissioner Roger Goodell is satisfied the Browns are running smoothly.

“I think the league feels really good about the way things are going, but they have a wait-and-see attitude as well,” Banner said. “I think they feel very good about Jimmy, he’s been very open and transparent with them.

I think they feel confident in the way they see him leading and the team we’ve put together to operate things.”

Banner acknowledged the investigation was “a surprise” but that it didn’t sway his opinion about Haslam or give him any second thoughts about joining Cleveland. Banner remains confident and supportive of Haslam.

“He’s been extremely open with me and felt it was appropriate I knew what was going on and reinforce the very same messages he said publicly,” Banner said. “We certainly discussed it, but I know him. I have a lot of confidence in him. I wouldn’t say I had to be reassured.

“He’s either in or he’s not — and he’s in.”

Based on his years in the league and knowing how it functions, Banner has always felt Haslam’s arrival would change the outside perception of the Browns. Despite the legal case, Banner doesn’t think much differently.

“Well, I think it’s not as pure as it was, but I don’t think it’s spoiled,” he said.

On other Brownsrelated issues, Banner said: • Wide receiver Josh Gordon has some work to do to earn back the team’s trust after being suspended two games for violating the league’s drug policy. “He understands he’s going to be held accountable and he gets the rope that’s left isn’t long,” Banner said. “In working with the coaches they need to see that commitment, that work ethic.

Obviously, off the field he needs to make good choices.”

• The Browns have sold more season tickets this offseason that at any time since 1999, and their renewal rate from last season was 94 percent.

• Plans for major renovations at FirstEnergy Stadium will be announced in the near future, but the team has promised a cleaner facility this season and fans will have improved cell phone service.

• Discussions have taken place about using artificial turf at the stadium, but the preference is to maintain a natural surface. “Maybe we’ve got to replace it a little more frequently during the season but our strong inclination is to play football frankly outdoors and on a grass field,” he said.

“That could change but we have a strong inclination to do it that way.”

“I don’t know that you can really blame a guy going out and making a poor choice on coach Meyer because of free will,” offensive tackle Jack Mewhort said. “He did not walk in with us everywhere we go, telling us to do this and that.

He has a set of core values in place and we know them and we’re told them every day. We know as players that if we violate them we’re going to be held accountable for our actions.”

The off-the-field problems come with Meyer facing questions about his relationship with Aaron Hernandez while the tight end played for him at Florida. Hernandez has been arrested and charged with murder in Massachusetts.

Asked what it was like to hear his name mentioned in connection with Hernandez in the wake of the charges, Meyer responded: “I felt awful.

It’s a sick feeling. Your thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victims. Every player situation, every recruit situation, all I know is (it) will always be in the back of my mind. That’s all I can say.”

Ohio State was barred from postseason play last year as part of its punishment for a memorabilia-for-cash scandal that led to the resignation of Tressel. Luke Fickell coached the Buckeyes for a year before Meyer took the reins of the storied program after taking a season off.

Meyer spent six years at Florida, winning national titles in 2006 and 2008. He also had 25 players account for 31 arrests during his tenure with the Gators.

While Meyer said he isn’t worried about his reputation, he acknowledged that the criticism over disciplinary issues

still stings.

“I’m a human, so it does,” he said. “I don’t read. I don’t really get involved with following stuff, because I think people need to get facts before they start just making accusations and those type of things. I’m human and I think that is something that I’m constantly evaluating and making sure we are doing the right thing.”

With Hyde in particular limbo, Meyer said he would evaluate all the facts before making any decisions about the senior. Sgt. Rich Weiner, a spokesman for the Columbus Police Department, said the investigation was ongoing and cautioned against any rush to judgment in any direction.

“I’ve been following reports on this case and most of them have been inaccurate,” Weiner said in a phone interview.

Weiner said investigators plan to interview Hyde and the woman when she

returns next week from a scheduled vacation out of the country.

The questionable future for Hyde and Roby casts a shadow over Ohio State’s chance for another undefeated season. Star quarterback Braxton Miller leads a talented group of returning players, making the Buckeyes the favorite in the Big Ten and a legitimate contender for the national title.

Meyer, for one, is vowing to keep the focus on the field for the sake of the other players on the squad.

“I don’t want a disruption for this team,” he said. “The guys work too hard. To have a couple of knuckleheads make some decisions that reflect the entire program, that’s not — I guess it’s part of the deal. It’s something that bothers me, bothers our staff, and we work very hard to avoid with our players.”

Belichick: Pats will learn from Hernandez case

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — A grim-faced coach Bill Belichick said Wednesday the New England Patriots will learn from the “terrible experience” of Aaron Hernandez’s arrest on a murder charge and work to improve their player evaluation process.

Speaking publicly for the first time since the tight end was arrested four weeks earlier, Belichick said he was “shocked and disappointed” to learn of the criminal investigation while he was out of the United States.

He also sought to minimize future attention on the case.

“My comments are certainly not in proportion to the unfortunate and sad situation that we have here, but I’ve been advised to address the subject once, and it’s time for the New England Patriots to

move forward,” Belichick said. “Moving forward consists of what it’s always been here — to build a winning football team, to be a strong pillar in the community and be a team that our fans can be proud of.

“I’m not trying to make this story disappear, but I respect the judicial process and have been advised not to comment on ongoing legal proceedings. I’m advising our players to do the same things.”

The Patriots cut Hernandez after he was arrested the morning of June 26 and before he was charged that afternoon.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty.

Players are scheduled to report to training camp on Thursday when quarterback Tom Brady and the five other captains from last season will be available to reporters. The first practice is scheduled for Friday.

Kazmir n Continued from page 13

Kazmir is now 3-0 with a 1.60 ERA with 35 strikeouts and 12 walks over his past seven starts.

“He had a little bit of everything,” said Smoak, who got the one hit off Kazmir. “His fastball was deceptive. He is throwing a cutter now and I’ve never seen that before. He had a good ball game.”

Bourn blew the game open in the fifth with his slam on a full-count pitch from reliever Hector Noesi.

Asdrubal Cabrera had two hits, including his eighth home run. Carlos Santana had three hits, including a pair of RBI doubles.

It was the ninth time the Indians have scored at least 10 runs this season and the 14th time Seattle has allowed 10 or more.

The Indians had lost four of their first five games out of the break and had fallen to 3 ½ games behind Detroit in the AL Central.

The loss ended the Mariners’ eight-game win streak, their

longest since Aug. 14-22, 2012.

They were going for their first nine-game streak since May 27-June 5, 2003.

Joe Saunders (9-9) took the loss. He lasted just 4 2-3 innings, allowing five earned runs on nine hits, walking three and striking out five.

He entered the game with

a 4-0 record and 1.73 ERA in his previous four starts and is now 11-4 with a 2.90 ERA in 19 career starts at Safeco Field.

“I felt like I was all around the plate today,” Saunders said.

“Henry (catcher Henry Blanco) did a good job back there. We just flat-out got out-played, outpitched, out-hit. Just one of

those days.”

From the first pitch, the Indians - and Bourn - had Saunders off-balance. Bourn opened with a drag bunt, easily beating the throw. Nick Swisher walked and Jason Kipnis advanced the runners with a sac-bunt.

Cabrera followed with a tworun double into the left-center gap. Cabrera came home on Santana’s ground-rule double to left for a 3-0 score.

“Bournsey set the tone like that,” Francona said. “Playing with the lead is welcomed any time.”

The Mariners got a gift run in the second. With two outs and Jason Bay on first, Michael Saunders bounced to shortstop Cabrera. He threw wide of second for an error and Bay raced home.

The Mariners returned the favor in the third when centerfielder Michael Saunders missread a Cabrera flyball for a twobase error. Santana drove him home with his second straight double into the left-field corner.

The Tribe rallied in the fifth after two outs. Mark Reynolds singled and Yan Homes walked, ended Saunders’ outing. Noesi walked Drew Stubbs and Bourn cranked a fastball over the right-center wall, his third home run.

“To be honest, I seen a good pitch out of his hand and I was just trying to put the bat on the ball,” Bourn said. “I wasn’t trying to do too much but I guess that’s when it happens.”

NOTES: Manager Eric Wedge, taken to the hospital before Monday’s game because of light-headedness, was released from the hospital Wednesday afternoon. He was said to have suffered a “very mild stroke.” He is not expected to manage the team until at least Aug. 5. . Bourn’s run in the first inning was the 500th over his career. . of the 12 games these two teams have played against each other this season, this was the first visitor victory.
