“It’s purely the friendships you make along the way,” the 25 year-old said in a thick Australian accent. “It’s all about global friendship and peace education and it’s great to come back to Ohio to be a camp leader to pass it on — we’ve got to pass it on.”

Jackson said she has enjoyed the welcome she has had with her friends in Miami County and the Troy community during her stay in the states. Jackson will lead a group of 40 delegates, junior counselors and adults from 12 countries when she hosts Columbus’ CISV camp from June 28 through July 25.

“I learned so much through CISV and I’m here to pay it forward,” Jackson said “We definitely have a love and loyalty for what we do.”

Holding back tears, Jackson said CISV has personally opened doors to international relationships that have grown over the years and loves seeing chapters like Miami County thrive to engage the youth in fun, peaceful relationships.

“Look at all these amazing kids out here who are excited about traveling and meeting people from around the world,” she said as she paused to collect her emotion. “They are going out there to meet new people — sorry I’m getting emotional — and it’s just an amazing thing.”

Jackson said the delegates and junior counselors, like 16 year-old Matt Roetter, will engage in peace education actives and learn how global problems begin and how they can be resolved through communication.

Roetter will be a junior counselor in Austria, and has traveled

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

to Costa Rico, Denmark and Detroit with the CISV organization.

“Everybody is very open, very friendly,” Roetter said. “I just like the atmosphere.”

Roetter said he enjoys learning about the cultural differences of each country he has visited, as well as meeting children his age from countries around the globe.

“In Denmark, they have a dessert time, two times a day,” Roetter shared. “They have cake and like a bread with chocolate on top that they eat before and after lunch.”

Roetter leaves for Austria on July 10 and said he looking forward in sharing and mentoring with delegates from around the world.

“I hope I’ll bring a lot of knowledge to my village in Austria and help out the kids,” he said. “Being a junior counselor is a lot more responsibility and we get to show them our culture as well.”

Haley Demmitt, 12, of Casstown, will be traveling to Brandywine, Pa. for two weeks to join delegates from around the world in the CISV village a little closer to home.

“It’s fun to learn about the different countries and learning about their culture — how they are the same, yet different,” Demmitt said.

Demmitt said she’s made international friendships through CISV, including Jude, a delegate from Jordan.

“It’s a fun way to get to meet people,” Demmitt said, who traveled to Vancouver, British Columbia with CISV. “Maybe their schools are different, or they way to dress is different and the food they eat is different, but we all are there for the same reason — it’s cool.”

Miami County’s chapter members will be traveling to Austria, Iceland, Canada, Philadelphia and other summer villages around the world in the coming weeks.

Although Zac Roetter will be heading off to college instead of attending a CISV camp this year, he said the experiences from his travels with the organization will benefit him as a freshmen student at Kent State University next fall.

“I think it’s a great way to meet new people,” Roetter said. “I won’t know my roommate when I go to school, but I’ve been exposed to different people and different cultures and that will help.

It’s exciting to have had the experience to meet a lot of different people,” he said.

Roetter said his travels with CISV also opened his eyes on international crisis, which he personally experienced while in Norway in July 2011.

Roetter was traveling with his CISV delegates and had left the city of Oslo two days before a terrorist used a car bomb in front of a government building to kill 77 people.

The same day, July 25, 2011, a gunman who opened fire at a summer camp on an island two hours away from Oslo the same day.

“That was a little bit scary — especially for my mom,” he said.

“But it was an experience that really opened my eyes and talking with other people from other cultures during that time was really interesting.

“I can share that experience that no one else may have had like that summer in Norway,” he said. “I saw how a different country went through an attack and how they handled it differently. I got to see how a foreign country responded to something like a terrorist attack. I can translate my experience and share it with others – that’s pretty unique.”

The overall message of CISV is one of international peace and communication towards a positive global experience to combat international misunderstandings and live together as one people, Jackson said.

“Some day one of these children may be a world leader and take what they’ve learned from other cultures and keep the message of peace in their heart and learn to live all together,” she said.

Miami County has sent more than 100 delegates to villages and has hosted a village every three years.

• Nike cutting ties to Livestrong AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Nike, which helped build Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong cancer charity into a global brand and introduced its familiar yellow wristband, is cutting ties with the foundation in the latest fallout from the former cyclist’s doping scandal.

The move by the sports shoe and clothing company ends a relationship that began in 2004 and helped the foundation raise more than $100 million, making the charity’s bracelet an international symbol for cancer survivors.

But the relationship soured with revelations of performance-enhancing drug use by Armstrong and members of his U.S. Postal Service team.

Nike said Tuesday it will stop making its Livestrong line of apparel after the 2013 holiday season.

Foundation and company officials said Nike will honor the financial terms of its contract until it expires in 2014.

Democratic state Rep. Connie Pillich, of suburban Cincinnati, said Ohioans are “clamoring for transparency and for accountability” in government.

“At a time when public trust in government seems to be at an all-time low, this measure is launched almost in the middle of the night and it shrouds public dollars in secrecy,” she said.

“What are you hiding?”

Republican state Rep. Ron Hood said, “The people are clamoring, I agree, but they’re clamoring for jobs.”

He agreed with fellow Republicans who said allowing the state auditor into the private books of JobsOhio and other nonprofit corporations that spend public money including the Cleveland Clinic or Ohio State University would compromise Ohio’s economic prospects.

Amid Yost’s state audit of JobsOhio, JobsOhio volunteered its public financial records but declined to produce documentation of his private finances including income, private donations, and spending.

Yost ultimately subpoenaed the records and JobsOhio turned them over in protest.

dozen doughnuts so we are hoping to keep up with demand,” she said.

Strawberry doughnuts seekers also have found a secret in keeping the sweet treat stocked the whole year.

McIntosh said people come to the festival just for the doughnuts to buy dozens to freeze to enjoy them all year round.

The cake-like doughnuts can keep up to a year in a freezer. People have shared that the doughnuts can be warmed up in the microwave for about a minute and enjoyed throughout the year.

Another strawberry doughnut secret is they can be enjoyed glazed with the famous strawberry icing — or request your doughnuts unglazed.

McIntosh said the fundraiser would not be possible if not for the

band booster’s support.

“We are so lucky to have this fundraiser which helps us do some really great things all year,” she said.

Troy High School marching band will be marching off those calories from their strawberry doughnuts in Saturday’s parade. McIntosh said spectators should keep an eye on the Trojans as they march through the city.

“We have a couple surprises for the parade so pay close attention,” McIntosh said.

Strawberry doughnuts will be available for pickup from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4-6 p.m. Friday at the Troy Stadium Alumni Room.

Stewart of Sidney was among nine young people with disabilities whose accomplishments were acknowledged during the 2012-13 Project SEARCH Celebration on May 17 at Upper Valley Medical Center.

Before Project SEARCH, fear of new situations hindered Stewart’s communication, but experiences through the program at UVMC provided an opportunity to gain confidence.

Project SEARCH is a high school transition program designed to provide training and education on the road to employment for individuals with disabilities. It was launched in Cincinnati in 1996 and introduced at UVMC via the Upper Valley Career Center in 2010.

Local Project SEARCH partners, in addition to UVMC, include the Upper Valley Career Center in Piqua, the Board of Developmental Disabilities in Miami and Shelby counties, Capabilities Inc. and the state Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation.

The goal of the ninemonth program is to help each of the interns become “a more independent person” and ready to compete in the job market, said Patti Moore, Upper Valley Project SEARCH coordinator, who works with the interns, job coaches and work site supervisors at UVMC. Moore emphasized that the interns are not actual employees, but are “strictly students in training” during the program, with the vision of tapping into a career path.

This year’s interns and their high schools were: Jessica Dye, Bradford; Michael Fletcher, Bradford; Brian Gold, Sidney; Luis GonzalezResto, Graham; Bre’Anna Harrison-Lee, Troy; Ashley Mullins, Bradford; Ashley Shoffner, Sidney; Taylor Stewart, Fairlawn; and Ashley Weber, Sidney.

“This is one of the most amazing programs,” said Upper Valley Career Center Director of Student Services Matt Meyer. The Project SEARCH Interns demonstrate job characteristics he hears about constantly from potential employers, Meyer said.

Among them: being at work every day, being on time and doing the job to the best of their ability.

Jim Hurak, UVMC vice president, noted the growth in the Project SEARCH participation from four interns the first year to nine in 2012-13.

“It is our honor, our pleasure,” Hurak said of UVMC hosting the Project SEARCH site and the rotation of program interns through a growing number of departments including rehabilitation, nutrition services, cardiopulmonary, plant operations, environmental services, Outpatient Center South and volunteer services.

Nearly 40 UVMC

employees were directly involved as supervisors and mentors this past year, Moore said.

However, she added, “Everyone here makes a difference in the interns’ lives … (through) your daily treatment of them as professionals.”

Hurak said interns helped with an array of projects from greeting hospital visitors to providing directions with the closing of the Physician Office Building entrance for construction, to planting tulips along with assisting with the day to day operations in each department.

“I am sure each department would have stories to share on mentoring and learning from each other,” he said. “We have a great learning experience with this.”

During the program, Meyer on behalf of the Career Center, presented UVMC with an Ohio School Boards Association’s 2013 Business Honor Roll award. The program allows schools to recognize special business partners for their contributions.

“The difference UVMC makes in these lives is amazing as well,” Meyer said.

The award, he said, recognized UVMC’s commitment to Upper Valley Project SEARCH. It was presented to Hurak and Becky Rice, UVMC vice president.

In Our View

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Do you plan on attending the Troy Strawberry Festival this year?

Troy Daily News Editorial Board FRANK BEESON / Group Publisher DAVID FONG / Executive Editor

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

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

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Jerusalem Post on gun controls: The despicable act of violence perpetrated in Beersheba on Monday has sparked fresh calls for an evaluation of Israel’s gun control policy.

Undoubtedly, the fact that Itamar Alon had access to a handgun at a critical time when he was overcome by anger made possible the shooting rampage that left four innocent people dead and four families mourning, with five more people wounded.

Reportedly, Alon’s bank had refused to reach an arrangement with him over his NIS 6,000 debt. In Alon’s warped mind, this somehow justified a shooting spree. The same sort of public discourse over Israel’s gun-control laws followed the tragic shooting at a school in Newtown, Connecticut in December 2012 that left 26 dead, including 20 children.

Further fueling the local debate was a bizarre comment by the chief executive of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre, made shortly after the Newtown massacre.

Strangely, LaPierre invoked Israel to support his own organization’s campaign for the right of American citizens to bear arms.

In an interview with NBC News’ David Gregory on Meet the Press, LaPierre called on the U.S. to implement a school guard policy similar to Israel’s.

Yaakov Amit — head of the Public Security Ministry’s Firearms Licensing Department — told Army Radio on Tuesday that there are just 160,000 handguns privately owned by Israeli citizens in a population of nearly 8 million, approximately 2 guns per 100 people. In stark contrast, in America there are 88.8 guns for every 100 people (according to the 2007 Small Arms Survey), by far the highest rate in the world.

The Gloversville (N.Y.) Leader Herald on debunked rumors that the federal government was hoarding ammunition: Ask 10 people for their thoughts on the National Rifle Association, and you'll likely get a broad range of responses. But on one point, we can all agree — if a threat to the Second Amendment appears, the NRA will find out about it and quickly spread the word.

That's why it was nice to see the NRA last summer shoot down one of the more absurd rumors that's been making the rounds: that the federal Department of Homeland Security and other agencies are hoarding massive stockpiles of ammunition for secret, nefarious purposes.

The rumors began when radio host Alex Jones pounced on request forms for government purchases of bulk ammunition. By misinterpreting the maximum allowable purchase limits on these contracts as final, immediate orders, Jones speculated that the government was purchasing billions of rounds of small arms ammunition to quash "civil unrest."

Not so fast, according to the NRA, which debunked the claims as efforts "to stir up fear" based on "a lack of understanding of the law enforcement functions carried about by officers in small federal agencies."

"There are more than enough actual threats to the Second Amendment to keep gun owners busy," the NRA said in an August 2012 statement that should have driven a stake through the rumor's heart. "There is no need to invent additional threats to our rights."

The fact that Jones misled people comes as no surprise. Jones, an early 9/11 "truther," more recently pinned responsibility for the Aurora theater shootings, the Sandy Hook massacre and the Boston Marathon bombings on the federal government. He even warned that secret government "weather weapons" could be behind this week's deadly Oklahoma tornadoes.

LETTERS

City leaders should respond

Where are our city leaders to weigh in during all of this?

Why hasn't Mayor Beamish, of Public Service and Director To the Editor: Safety Patrick Titterington, I have seen many letters in city council or Troy Main the past few days regarding the upcoming Mumford & Sons Street Director Karen concert coming to Troy. While I Manovich responded to any of certainly don't agree with all of this publicly?

While comparing the band them — and I am certain the to an army of destruction was one comparing Mumford & comical, there also have been Sons to the Nazis was a bit plenty of legitimate concerns much — there is one thing I raised as well. have noticed throughout this process.

Why don't the people who

brought this concert to Troy respond? Do they not care about us? Do they feel our concerns are not valid?

By not saying anything, they are saying a lot. And from what I can hear (or DON'T hear) from them, they are saying, "Your opinion doesn't matter and we don't care how this affects you."

How sad.

DOONESBURY

It is with great remorse that I announce I am retiring There are some people who were seemingly put on this Earth for one reason — and no matter what vagaries of life were thrown at them, it’s hard to imagine them doing anything other than the one thing for which they have become synonymous.

Pablo Picasso was born to paint. Elvis Presley was born to sing. Thomas Edison was born to invent.

And Muhammad Ali was born to fight.

Heck, the truculent pugilist even said so himself: “It’s just a job,” Ali once was quoted as saying. “Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I just beat people up.”

So ingrained was fighting in The Louisville Lip’s DNA that he didn’t know what else to do when it finally came time to stop fighting. The truth is — as great as he was — Ali stuck around the fight game well past his prime. Who can forget that horrible night in 1980 in Las Vegas when a 38-year-old Ali took on a young Larry Holmes in his penultimate fight? The outclassed Ali was battered from corner to corner for 10 rounds before his erstwhile trainer, Angelo Dundee, refused to let him continue. So humbled was Ali by the beating that he actually thanked Dundee for not allowing the fight to go on.

As sad as that display was, Ali would inconceivably try to climb into the ring one more time before Trevor Berbick finally — and mercifully — ended The Great One’s career with a unanimous decision

victory in 1981.

Why did Ali keep fighting? It certainly wasn’t for money — unlike many of his fight peers, Ali didn’t squander his money … not to mention the fact he still received lucrative endorsement offers long after his career ended. And it wasn’t for fame — he was a transcendent athlete who, more than 30 years after his career ended, remains one of the most recognizable and beloved faces the world over. And it wasn’t because he had nothing else to turn to — Ali was a scholar, a statesman and an advocate for those in need. Ali could have had his pick of virtually any other career.

But Ali didn’t want to do anything else. He wanted to beat people up — just as surely as grass grows, birds fly and waves pound the sand.

Really, none of that makes Ali any different than anybody else who was born to do one thing better than anyone else on the planet. How many walk away while on top, before the inevitable decline begins? How sad is it that our final memories of some of our heroes are Babe Ruth stumbling around the base paths in a Boston Braves uniform, a bloated Presley slurring his words on stage or Ali sitting in his corner on a stool, unable to answer the bell?

When you’ve only known one thing your entire life and you have done it better than anyone else in the world, it’s a hard addiction to break.

All of which makes the following announcement that much more difficult.

David Fong Troy Daily News Columnist It’s time for me to walk away.

For the past decade, I have poured my heart and soul into a singular passion — and I’ve done it better than anyone else in the world. I’ve given all I possibly could — but I have nothing left to give. I don’t want to linger on and become some sort of sick punchline. I don’t want to walk down the street and hear the whispers behind my back: “There goes Fong. Shame what’s happened to him, really. He can’t do it like he used to.”

It’s just a job.

Grass grows.

Birds fly.

Waves pound the sand.

I just run in Strawberry Festival Bed Races.

Or at least I did.

It is with great remorse that I announce today that I am officially retiring from the bed race game. Ever since I was a young boy growing up in Troy, becoming the best Troy Strawberry Festival bed racer in the world is all I’ve ever wanted to do — and I accomplished that goal. Over the years, some people have participated in the bed races because it was “fun.” I never did it because it was fun. I did it because it, more than anything

else, is what I was born to do.

Despite my passion, however, bed racing never came easy. For nine years, the Troy Daily News bed race team was one of the worst ever to compete in the event.

Then came the Market Street Miracle. In the Year of Our Lord 2010, we shook up the world, much as Ali did on Feb. 25, 1964, when he knocked out a seemingly invincible Sonny Liston to become the heavyweight champion of the world. Just as Ali had guaranteed victory over Liston, that year I had guaranteed a bed race victory for the Troy Daily News.

And just like that, we were on top of the world, kings (and queen) of all we surveyed. All we did the next year was prove the previous year hadn’t been a fluke by capturing a second-consecutive Troy Strawberry Festival bed race championship.

We were seemingly unstoppable.

We were wining and dining with kings and queens and no longer sleeping in alleys and dining on pork and beans.

And really, there was only one place for us to go.

By 2011, we were a shell of our former selves. The worst thing that could ever happen to a fighter had happened to us. We had become civilized. We no longer wanted it. There were others out there who wanted it more. And they took it from us.

Sure, we still got second place — probably on sheer talent and guile alone — but already the cracks were forming. The tiger had become toothless.

We chose not to enter last

year, telling ourselves we would take a year off to refocus our training and try to regain our passion. But I think deep down, we all knew the horrible truth.

The thrill ride was over.

Earlier this year, we toyed with the idea of making a final run — a nostalgia trip, really — but I think we’ve all decided it’s time to let Angelo Dundee stop the fight.

Rather than become public spectacles, we are going to go out as gracefully as possible. I will do what so many former athletes do — I will move on to the broadcast booth. Friday night on Troy Public Access Television, I will join my good friend Jules Conner as a color commentator for Channel 5’s broadcast of the bed races.

I’m going to miss everything about the bed races. The sleepless nights before the races.

Getting my annual bed race mohawk. Stepping out in front of thousands of people on Friday night, hearing the roar of the crowd and feeling like a gladiator standing in the Colosseum in ancient Rome. More than any of that, however, I’m going to miss my teammates — all of whom helped make me a champion.

I guess it had to come to this.

It’s time for me to hang up the green and yellow Nikes and warrior headband. I’m passing the torch to a younger generation of bed racers. Good luck.

And goodbye.

Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. What a long, strange trip it’s been.

U.K. police: Man charged in murder of British soldier LONDON (AP) — Police have charged a man with murder in the killing of a British soldier in a suspected Islamic extremist attack in broad daylight on a London street.

Michael Adebowale, 22, was charged late Wednesday by counterterrorism officers and will appear in court today, police said. He is one of two main suspects in the killing of Lee Rigby, 25, who was struck by a car and stabbed to death last week near his barracks in southeast London’s Woolwich district.

Gruesome images that emerged after the attack showed two men wielding bloody knives and meat cleavers. Both men were shot and wounded by police.

Suspect Michael Adebolajo, 28, remains hospitalized in stable condition. Adebowale was discharged from a hospital Tuesday and taken into custody. Adebowale also was charged with a firearms offense related to possessing a 9.4 mm revolver with the intent “to cause persons to believe that unlawful violence would be used,” police said in a statement announcing the charges.

The charges, coming just hours after police said Rigby’s autopsy showed he died from “multiple incised wounds,” shed further light on the frenzied attack.

Witnesses reported seeing the soldier struck by a car, then set upon by two men wielding long knives and cleavers. Adebolajo, bloodied and clutching a cleaver, was seen in a video boasting about the attack and railing against the government.

The attack has raised questions about whether Britain’s intelligence services could have done more to pre-

vent Rigby’s murder. British officials said the two main suspects had been known to them for some time as part of previous investigations.

Kenyan police have said they believed Adebolajo, a British citizen, had earlier associated with a radical Kenyan Muslim cleric who tried to help him join an al-Qaida-linked rebel group in neighboring Somalia.

Police said an inquest on Rigby’s death will open Friday. In Britain, inquests are conducted to establish the circumstances surrounding unexpected or violent deaths.

Ten people have been arrested in the case, including the two main suspects. Two were released and several others have been set free on bail pending further inquiries.

One of the men arrested for questioning in the case released a statement through his lawyer Wednesday proclaiming his innocence. Hayden Allen, 21, said he wanted to send his condolences to Rigby’s family.

“My family are wholly uninvolved,” said Allen, who has not been charged and is free on bail. “I ask that the police continue to investigate and that my family be allowed without harassment to continue their lives.”

Rigby’s murder has raised racial enmities in many parts of England, with far-right groups mobilizing to protest. The English Defense League, a right-wing group with strong antiIslam leanings, has held a series of protests, while Muslim community organizations have reported a surge in attacks and harassment.

One mosque in the northern England town of Grimsby was firebombed, and the word “ISLAM” was

daubed in big red letters across the Royal Air Force Bomber Command memorial in London’s Green Park, near Buckingham Palace.

Two people have been charged in the arson attack. It was unclear who was responsible for the graffiti.

Hackers have also posted a purported list of English Defense League leaders and supporters online. The list was at least partially genuine, according to English Defense League supporter Glen Warren, 32, whose name and phone number were among those posted.

Amid the unrest, British prison officers have been warned to be on the lookout after a hostage drama blamed on extremist Muslim inmates, British newspapers reported Wednesday.

An email to high-security prisons and young offenders’ institutes warned that Sunday’s incident at Full Sutton detention facility in the northern England region of Yorkshire was linked to religious extremism and warned of an increased risk of attacks at other institutions, according to several British papers, including The Yorkshire Post and The Times.

“Three Muslim prisoners took an officer hostage in an office. Their demands indicated they supported radical Islamist extremism,” the letter was quoted as saying. “All staff are reminded to remain vigilant to the increased risk of potential attacks on prison officers inspired by these and last Wednesday’s events.”

The hostage-takers’ demands have not been disclosed. Britain’s Ministry of Justice declined to comment on the email.

France’s first gay marriage is broadcast to nation MONTPELLIER, France (AP) — In a historic ceremony broadcast live on French television, the first gay couple to marry in France said “oui,” then sealed the deal with a lengthy and very public kiss.

Hundreds of invited guests including a government minister gathered for the moving ceremony Wednesday inside city hall in southern French city of Montpellier.

Hundreds more flocked to the square outside the building as Vincent Autin, 40, and his 30-year-old partner, Bruno Boileau, were wed.

The politically charged ceremony was held under tight police surveillance a stark reminder of the months of bruising opposition to the new gay marriage law that French lawmakers passed earlier this month.

Although the marriage itself went undisrupted, outside the city hall it was not trouble-free. A plainclothes policeman dragged back one protester on Wednesday who shouted threats and tried to approach the couple as they were being escorted into the building, before the ceremony. Police also used tear gas to push back a small group of demonstrators who gathered behind the city hall.

“Even if we have passed the hurdle of equality, there are still more battles to fight… But for now, it’s a moment for festivity, for love,” Autin said after exchanging vows. Some cried, others smiled as Frank Sinatra’s hit “Love and Marriage” blasted out, marking them tying the knot.

The two men then walked hand-in-hand to

A man who threatens Vincent Autin and Bruno Boileau as they arrive at Montpelier City Hall, for their civil wedding, is grabbed by plainclothes policemen, Wednesday.

Bruno Boileau, 30, from Paris and Vincent Autin, 40, are the first same-sex couple to marry in France, since French government voted a new law legalizing same-sex marriage. the city hall balcony to wave to well-wishers alongside Montpellier Mayor Helene Mandroux, who officiated at the ceremony.

Smiling proudly, Mandroux called the marriage a “historic moment” and “a stage in the modernization of our country.”

The two men, who will adopt the names “Messieurs Bruno et Vincent Boileau-Autin,” were holding a separate, private ceremony later Wednesday for close friends and family.

“Many people have been waiting for this law on marriage and adoption.

Now, it’s done. Many people are going to be doing as we did, and celebrating their unions… We are very pleased and honored,” said Boileau.

It is not clear yet when the first gay adoption will take place.

every corner of France.

Just last Sunday, tens of thousands of people protested fiercely in Paris against the new gay marriage law, demonstrations that ended with riot police shooting tear gas.

A plan to legalize samesex marriage and allow gay couples to adopt was a liberal cornerstone of Socialist Francois Hollande’s election manifesto last year. It initially looked like a shoo-in for the French president since the measures were supported by a majority of the country and an easy way to break with his conservative predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy.

But the issue became a touchstone as Hollande’s popularity sunk to unprecedented lows, largely over France’s ailing economy. The law became a political hot potato that exposed bitter divisions between urban France, where homosexuality is widely accepted, and the Catholic heartland where conservative attitudes hold sway.

“What happened in our country to create so many

divisions?” Mandroux said Wednesday, reflecting on the wrenching debate.

Demonstrations against the gay marriage law have often spilled into violence.

In Sunday’s protest in the French capital, several hundred protesters clashed with police, throwing bottles and chasing journalists.

Interior Minister Manuel Valls said police arrested some 100 far-right protesters.

Paris police estimated that 150,000 people took part in the demonstration but march organizers claimed on their Twitter account that more than a million people did.

At the same time Sunday, on the shores of the Mediterranean, the prestigious 66th Cannes Film Festival gave the Palme d’Or, its top honor, to “Blue is the Warmest Color: The Life of Adele,” a graphic French film about a tender, sensual lesbian romance.

France is the 14th country so far and the biggest in political and economic weight to recognize gay marriage.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) — Marshall Lytle, the original bass player for Bill Haley & His Comets, one of the first bands to take rock ‘n’ roll music mainstream, has died. He was 79.

Lytle died at his home in New Port Richey, Fla., on May 25, said his niece, Shayna Golda.

Lytle recorded hits like “Rock Around the Clock” and “Shake, Rattle and Roll” with Haley in the 1950s.

He was known for his percussive bass style, slapping the strings as he played, and his lively performances. He would sometimes take the bass over his head or ride it like a surfboard.

“He’s known as the father of rock bass by some people,” said Michael Jordan Rush, who published a memoir

by Lytle titled “Still Rockin’ Around the Clock” in 2011. “He certainly influenced rock bass more than any other individual.”

Lytle was born in Old Fort, N.C., in September 1933. A birth defect made it nearly impossible for him to walk as a child. His older brother would carry him to and from school on his back.

It was then that Lytle developed a love of music.

“He had been a musician from the time he was barely able to walk,” Golda said.

While Lytle was still a young boy, he had surgery that gave him the use of his legs, she said.

In 1951, Lytle, then still a teen, joined Bill Haley’s Saddlemen. At the time, Haley had a radio show in Chester, Pa., and the manager

commented that the group didn’t look like saddlemen, Rush said.

He suggested they call themselves “The Comets” instead.

“Marshall said, ‘That’s a great name, I think we should go with it,’” Rush said.

Several of the band’s hits are now iconic rock ‘n’ roll songs: “Rock Around the Clock,” recorded in 1954, is one of the highest selling singles of all time. Lytle also played on hits like “See You Later, Alligator.”

But he and two other members of the band quit in 1955 over a money dispute and formed a new group called The Jodimars. The group had limited commercial success, and Lytle temporarily changed his name and later went into real estate.

He returned to music in 1987, playing in a Comets reunion band, and performed right up until the weeks before his death, Rush said. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with other members of the Comets in 2012.

Golda said Lytle was diagnosed with lung cancer early this year.

“And he didn’t smoke,” she said. “But performing all those years in nightclubs and bars and being on tour buses and all those things, you’re exposed.”

She recalled receiving postcards from around the world from her uncle as a child.

“He led a fulfilling, very interesting, very joyful life,” she said.

Lytle is survived by his longtime girlfriend, Cathy Smith, two siblings and seven children.

Show some respect for your girlfriend

Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Events Calendar 8 p.m.: Have History Will Travel 11 p.m.: Tales of the Strange

Dear Annie: I am in my 20s and am engaged to a beautiful girl. Our religion prohibits sex before marriage. But when "Donna" tells me to stop kissing her, I persist. I don't see why not.

It's just kissing.

Donna says she has not been firm enough with me and when she says no, she means no.

Yesterday, I was sitting next to Donna and started kissing her on the lips. She said no, and when I didn't stop, she slapped my face.

It felt like I had been stung by a bee. Donna told me she definitely had to slap me.

My cousin said that in a dating situation, the woman sets the rules, and it is her prerogative to slap a man's face if she feels he has gone too far. Do you agree? I don't think she had to slap me. — John Dear John: It's hard to believe you are living in this century. While we don't recommend that women go around slapping men, anything you do after Donna says "no" could be considered assault or even attempted rape. She is entitled to defend herself. She could call the police.

Show some respect for your girlfriend, and stop kissing her when she asks you to stop. You sound too immature to get married.

Dear Annie: I am a 32-yearold professional woman and a newlywed. I have been best friends with "Martha" since the first grade, although we began to drift apart after college. But we always talked about our future weddings and vowed to attend each other's. Meanwhile, I moved to the East Coast, and Martha moved to the West Coast. We stayed in touch and occasionally saw each other in our hometown.

I was not asked to be a bridesmaid at Martha's wedding, but I traveled to California with my fiance to attend and also went to her bridal shower in our hometown. Very few others did because of the cost and the distance. Her parents told me they were thrilled that I was there.

About 10 months after Martha's wedding, I married on the East Coast. Of course, Martha was invited, but she RSVP'd that she could not attend. She gave no reason. My first anniversary is approaching, and I have yet to hear any words of congratulations from my "best friend" — no card or gift or even a phone call. I also haven't heard anything from her parents. Back in my hometown, my mother occasionally runs into Martha's mother. She has never mentioned my marriage.

I am terribly hurt. It seems clear that Martha doesn't care about me or want to continue our friendship. I am trying to put this behind me, but I am puzzled that neither she nor her family had the common courtesy to send a note of congratulations. I am thinking of "unfriending" her on Facebook. — Raised with Manners Dear Manners: Martha was remiss not to send a card of congratulations. But when friends go in different directions — figuratively as well as physically — the closeness tends to fade. It doesn't mean Martha no longer cares, only that the friendship has become a casual interest.

Facebook is actually perfect for that. You can keep track of each other without having to invest any genuine effort.

Dear Annie: I believe you missed the boat with your answer to "Irritated by Lack of Thoughtfulness," who said a woman carried on a cellphone conversation during a funeral.

You said it was impolite, but added that the phone could be turned on "mute" or "vibrate" and emergencies handled out of earshot.

We have lost all sensitivity to others. At funerals, weddings and church services, phones should be left at home or in the car. If something is so important that one must stay connected, one should not attend the function.

Not so long ago, cellphones didn't exist, and we managed to survive. — Litchfield, Maine Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

The 88-year-old visited a Revolutionary War monument in northeastern Pennsylvania on Tuesday to promote his foundation’s efforts to develop peace and fight disease. He and his 85-year-old wife, Rosalynn, also hosted a fundraising dinner in WilkesBarre.

Carter told a crowd of several hundred people at the Wyoming Monument that, “Pennsylvanians are good people, very hospitable and friendly.”

The Nobel Peace Prize recipient spoke about his foundation, The Carter Center, and its worldwide mission of promoting peace and fighting disease in Third World countries.

He says the center has built nearly 3 million household latrines to reduce breeding centers for flies and that he’s now

PANAMA CITY, Panama (AP) Panama’s most famous performer is joining the cast of a movie about its most famous boxer.

Filmmaker Jonathan Jakubowicz says singer Ruben Blades will take part in the film “Hands of Stone,” which is scheduled for release next year.

The film focuses on the life of Roberto Duran.

The Harvard-educated Blades is one of the biggest stars in Latin music and also has served as Panama’s tourism minister. In the film, he will play boxing promoter Carlos Eleta.

The movie also starts Robert De Niro, Usher and Edgar Ramirez.

In Tuesday’s news release, Blades refers to Duran as a friend and as “one of the most illustrious Panamanians we have.”

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Save the pipes: Don’t flush the baby wipes Dear Heloise: I am a retired engineer from a water-system company.

Recently, I met with my fellow workers, who are still employed, for lunch.

They complained that baby wipes coming into the plant are causing a huge problem.

Apparently, more and more of these wipes are being disposed of in sewer systems, and they are nondegradable.

They bind the screens going into the plant and knot together to form ropes as long as 40 feet.

Further upstream, they form into balls and plug

Hints from Heloise Columnist sewer pipes.

Please advise your readers to purchase only biodegradable products or deposit those that are nondegradable somewhere besides the sewer system. — Mike F. in Texas Mike, thank you for this good reminder. How right you are! There are biodegradable

wipes and ones that should not be flushed.

Wipes are deemed flushable if they meet certain guidelines, such as clearing toilets and properly maintained pipes.

However, most city water systems state that they are not safe to flush.

So, folks, please don’t flush anything that shouldn’t be. read the packaging.

This also can prevent a plumbing bill! — Heloise LIGHT SWITCH Dear Heloise: We painted our house, and the lightswitch plates didn’t match

anymore. They are relatively inexpensive to buy, but we didn’t want to waste the perfectly good ones we had.

Instead, we just got spray paint in a color to match.

You may need to get a primer for the plastic first, but it is just another can of spray paint.

— B.D. in California Have you peeked into my guest powder room? I did the same thing!

Give me a can of spray paint, and I can “fancy” up anything that’s not living and stands still. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, May 31, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) By working behind the scenes, you can make positive changes and clean up something, perhaps related to shared property, taxes or inheritances. People with influence will listen to you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions with an older female or someone in a position of authority might cause you to rethink your ideas about politics or religion. You might see things in a new light.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Give serious thought to your life's direction. Specifically, take a realistic look at what support from others you can count on, or not. This could be a deciding factor.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Long-range travel plans look doable today. However, someone close to you might want you to make changes. No worries -- these changes likely will be for the better.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might look with new eyes on an arrangement regarding shared property or anything you own jointly with others. Now you see a better way to do things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Sit down with someone close to you and make future plans, especially about dealing with children, or perhaps how to improve vacation plans.

Look at all angles today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You can introduce improvements at work today, and others will agree with you. You might even extend your ideas to your own home life. Why not?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) New romance might begin for some of you today. If so, it will be powerful and quite possibly with someone who is older or more established.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You're in the mood to make sweeping improvements at home. You want to get rid of what is no longer relevant or necessary. Out with the old, in with the new!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Sit down with someone to discuss longrange plans for the future. These plans might affect your closest relationships or even your appearance and how you dress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be on the lookout for a new job or way to earn money on the side. Others might see new uses and applications for something they already own.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might get advice from someone older and more experienced today. If so, truly listen. Someone in a group, someone powerful, might say something that can help you in the future.

YOU BORN TODAY You have an exterior that conveys an image of being tough and cool. But in fact, you are sweet and sentimental. Nevertheless, when needed you are strong, capable and down to earth, and you get results.

In this respect, you're a self-assured straight shooter. You're also adaptable and resourceful. A lovely, social year ahead awaits you. (All your relationships will improve.)

Company seeks money for space telescope SEATTLE (AP) — A Washington company that wants to send robots into space to mine precious metals from asteroids has found another way to use the expensive technology it’s developing for its space venture.

Planetary Resources Inc. announced Wednesday it plans to launch an extra space telescope in early 2015 to be used by the general public to take pictures of their favorite constellations, or to do their own research for the benefit of the world.

People who want to join the operation will have to contribute toward the $1 million price tag. For instance, for $200 a member of the public can aim the telescope once and take a picture. For $450, they can take three pictures.

People also can pay

more and donate their telescope time to school children or professional researchers.

Planetary Resources cofounder Peter Diamandis said the Bellevue, Wash.based company hopes schools and science museums will be the primary beneficiaries of the project.

“Our goal is to democratize access to space,” he said.

The company doesn’t need the public’s money to support its asteroid mining efforts, Diamandis added.

They see the donations as more of a confirmation that people are really interested in taking part in space exploration.

After Planetary Resources announced its plan to mine asteroids more than a year ago, the company was flooded with public response to

the project.

They received some 50,000 emails from people who wanted to get involved. About 3,500 filled out a five-page job application. Another 2,500 wanted to invest.

The public fundraising effort is their way of harnessing this information and “building a community who can go on this epic journey with us,” Diamandis said.

Diamandis also wants to make a public statement about the way entrepreneurs are taking over space development from the governments that have paid for all such work in the past.

“Space is a business,” he said.

Planetary Resources’ AP Peter Diamandis, co-chairman of Planetary Resources, an astroid mining company main business remains based in Bellevue, Wash., talks to reporters Wednesday in Seattle about his comasteroid mining, pany’s plans for the world’s first crowd funded space telescope.

Diamandis emphasized.

Colombian rebel rejects peace talks deadline HAVANA (AP) — A leading peace negotiator of Colombia’s main rebel group has rejected the government’s insistence that talks wrap up by November ahead of national elections, saying the president should not put his personal ambition ahead of the peace process.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Marco Leon Calarca said the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia were hopeful the months’ long negotiations would lead to peace, and heartened that the two sides had reached agreement on the first major point of dispute between them: land reform.

But he also said there could be no short-cuts and the issues that remain including political reintegration, drug trafficking, victim compensation and implementation of the accord are hard to resolve.

“We hope the discussion will be more fluid,” Calarca said in this week’s interview. “But these

are not simple themes, and for that reason they are on the agenda.”

Talks between Colombia and the FARC began in Oslo, Norway, in October and have continued since the following month in the Cuban capital.

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, under pressure at home ahead of a re-election bid in May 2014, has said that he will pull out if no agreement is reached by November.

Observers say his electoral fate is likely tied to the success of the talks. They have pointed to his falling poll numbers as a factor that could aid the discussions, since the rebels presumably fear any progress made at the peace table would be wiped out if he Santos loses the vote.

But Calarca, a longtime international spokesman for FARC who is one of the principal negotiators at the talks, disputed that notion, saying a Santos defeat could bring an even better nego-

tiating partner to the presidency.

“Why would it be negative if Santos loses, if the person who wins is on the left?” said Calarca, adding that the rebels had called on all candidates to voice support for the peace process. “The peace process does not depend on Santos. That is not to say we are against him.”

Calarca also questioned why the election campaign should have any impact on the talks at all, saying “it is lamentable that the process and its negative or positive results be tied to personal ambition.”

The Havana talks are the fourth attempt since the 1980s to bring peace to Colombia, which has been at war since the rebels took up arms in 1964. A U.S.backed military buildup that began in 2000 has reduced the FARC’s ranks to about 9,000 fighters and killed several top commanders, though the rebels insist they are still a potent force.

Barbara becomes hurricane off the coast of Mexico OAXACA, Mexico (AP) — Barbara rose to hurricane strength Wednesday as it steamed toward a sparsely populated stretch of Mexico’s southern Pacific coast, where it was expected to quickly make landfall.

Barbara’s wind speeds hit 75 mph, as its center swirled just about 20 miles off the coast, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. It was moving northnortheast toward land at about 10 mph, toward a sparsely populated stretch of coast.

Officials in the southern state of Oaxaca rushed to prepare emergency shelters and suspended classes for school children in coastal communities as rain began to lash the coast.

The stretch of coast west of the railway town of Arriaga where Barbara would make landfall is a largely undeveloped stretch of coastal lagoons,

punctuated by small fishing villages. The major oil port of Coatzacoalcos is located on the other side of the narrow waist of Mexico known as the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. But the center said the storm should weaken rapidly once it hits land, well before reaching Coatzacoalcos.

Mexico issued a hurricane warning for the Pacific coast from Puerto Angel to Barra de Tonala.

Oaxaca state Civil Defense Director Manuel Maza Sanchez said ports had been closed to navigation in tourist resorts of Puerto Angel, Puerto Escondido and Huatulco, all located more than 120 miles to the west.

Rain had begun to fall along the coast Wednesday, flooding some homes, he said.

Maza Sanchez said classes would be canceled at schools along the coast for the rest of the week.

Newton’s run ends Triad rallies for 7-5 victory in regional semi

BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com Nobody may have expected the Newton softball team to be in the position they were in Thursday, playing Triad in the Division IV regional semifinal.

But there the Indians were, holding a 5-4 lead on the Cardinals in the bottom of the fifth inning, just nine outs away from punching their ticket to the regional final.

Just one inning prior, Newton had averted disaster as pitcher Kirsten Burden worked her way out a jam with the go-ahead run on second. In the fifth, however, the Cardinals cashed in on their chance.

With one out in the inning, Macie Jenkins doubled to give Triad its first baserunner. Then Jenna Ober hit a grounder to Newton shortstop Megan Rutledge, who failed on her attempt to get the lead runner at

TIPP CITY third. Chelsea Price doubled to tie up the game before Cierra Puckett smacked a two-run double, which proved to be the game-winning hit as the Cardinals escaped with a 75 victory Wednesday in Tipp City.

“No we didn’t (expect to be here),” Newton coach Kirk Kadel said. “Maybe it showed up a couple times in the game. We had a couple of times when we should have just taken an out, and we tried to make a great play. But you can’t fault them for that, for trying to be aggressive and trying to get after it. I think the more mature team understands what to do in certain situations.

“But nobody expected us to be here, especially back in the middle of the year when we were like 8-7 and struggling to find our identity.

But they all came together as a team, and that was the big, big STAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER thing that made us successful. We Newton’s Kirsten Burden throws a pitch during a Division IV

After winning the Division I district title last week, Troy’s Nathan Fleischer won the regional title Wednesday at Welcome Stadium in Dayton.

Applying lessons Fleischer regional champion in pole vault

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Troy’s Nathan Fleischer learned the hard way during indoor season that overconfidence can be dangerous.

He put that lesson to good use.

Already knowing he had qualified for the state tournament, the Trojan pole vaulter cleared 14-3 on his second attempt Wednesday at the Division I regional meet at Welcome Stadium.

DAYTON One by one, his competition failed out at that height, leaving Fleischer all alone atop the standings as the regional champion.

“During indoor season, I was kind of cocky, and it cost me,” Fleischer said.

“This time, I really wanted to do well.

So I calmed down, gained some perspective and just knew I had to give it my all.”

“We’ve had good athletes in the past get here that were expected to perform

For most people, qualifying for state for the third time in four years would be satisfying.

Then again, Miami East senior Leah Dunivan is not most athletes.

Dunivan was expecting to qualify in both the high jump and shot put Wednesday at the Division III regional meet in Piqua.

But after finishing sixth in the high jump at 5-foot, Dunivan responded in the shot put, finishing third with a distance of 38-6.

She uncorked that on her first throw in prelims.

PIQUA “Obviously, I am disappointed (about the high jump),” Dunivan said. “But that is exactly what the coaches said (before the shot put). I just needed to get refocused.”

And, as always, Dunivan will take high expectations to the state meet.

“I still have some more distance — I don’t know about a lot more,” she said. “The goal is always to win. As my coaches tell me, it is important to stay realistic. I definitely want to get on the podium.”

The Covington foursome of Tara Snipes, Carly Shell, Julianna Yingst and Hannah Retz suffered a heartbreaking fifth-place finish in 9:56.01.

Shay Lafollette of Bradford had an eighth-place finish in the high jump, clearing 4-10.

Covington junior Jackie Siefring showed what she was made of Wednesday.

After false starting in the 100 hurdles, Siefring advanced to the finals in the 100 (12.90) and turned in the fastest time in the 300 hurdles, 45.32.

Troy Post 43 got a little redemption Tuesday.

Post 43 defeated Pickerington — the team that defeated them in last year’s State Legion Tournament finals — by a score of 12-5 at Duke Park.

Pitcher Ryan Lavy finished

off the game for Post 43 to get the win. He struck out five in five innings of work — including striking out the side in the final inning.

Post 43 trailed 5-2 entering the fifth, before exploding offen-

sively. They finished the game with 14 hits and six steals.

Nick Antonides went 3 for 4, Nick Sanders finished 2 for 3, Colton Nealeigh was 2 for 4 with a pair of RBIs and Dylan Cascaden went 2 for 2 with three RBIs. Garrett Mitchell led off the eighth with a double, then eventually scored on a passed

ball.

Evan Bowling added a double, while Jimmy Pelphry added a two-run single in a four-run eighth inning. Dereck Dunham had an RBI single for Post 43, which improves to 4-1 on the season.

It was the first loss of the season for Pickerington.

Indians beat Reds 5-2 CLEVELAND (AP) — Justin Masterson pitched six solid innings, Jason Giambi and Mark Reynolds homered, and the Cleveland Indians broke a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.

Masterson (8-3) worked out of a basesloaded jam with nobody out in the sixth to preserve a 2-1 lead.

Cincinnati’s only run off the right-hander came on Joey Votto’s two-out homer in the first.

Giambi’s three-run homer in the sixth off Bronson Arroyo (5-5) pushed the margin to four runs for Cleveland, which scored only 14 runs dur-

ing the skid.

Reynolds’ homer to lead off the third tied the game before Nick Swisher’s RBI double gave the Indians a 2-1 lead in the fourth.

The Reds took the first two games of the intrastate series with wins Monday and Tuesday in Cincinnati, but the Indians bounced back after losing seven of their previous eight.

Cleveland’s losing streak matched its longest of the season.

Masterson, who has won four of his last five decisions, allowed four hits and struck out seven.

Cincinnati loaded the bases with nobody out in the sixth, but Masterson

worked out of the jam, getting Xavier Paul on a pitcher-to-home-to-first double play and retiring Devin Mesoraco on a fly ball.

Masterson also retired Votto on a groundout with two on to end the fifth.

Arroyo retired the first two hitters in the sixth before Asdrubal Cabrera and Swisher singled.

Giambi hit a 2-1 pitch to right for his fourth career homer in 21 at-bats off Arroyo, who gave up five runs in 5 2-3 innings.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 were LaFollette and Leah Francis with the second and third fastest times, 15.51 and 15.75, respectively.

Lehman’s Sarah Titterington and Miami East’s Corrine Melvin both will be busy Saturday.

Titterington had the second fastest time in the 100, 12.84; third fastest time in the 400, 58.43; and sixth fastest time in the 200, 26.81.

Melvin will run in four events Saturday.

She advanced in the 100, 12.93; 200, 26.70; teamed with Kelly Rindler, Renee DeFord and Kylie Brown to advance in the 800 relay, 1:48.49; and with Lindsey Roeth, Emily Holicki and Allie Millhouse in the 400 relay, 51.45.

• Boys Lehman’s thrower Brad Montgomery gained valuable lessons last year as a sophomore.

So, entering the regional finals in the discus Wednesday at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field needing to uncork one of his best throws, Montgomery was up to the challenge to earn a berth in next week’s state tournament.

“I only threw 146 in the prelims,” Montgomery said. “I knew I needed a throw in the 150s. I think the biggest difference from last year is experience. I am more prepared for situations like this.”

On his second throw in the finals, Montgomery threw over 150-feet to move into fourth place. He secured his berth in Columbus with a throw of

154-4 on his final attempt, moving up to third.

“It was a PR by two inches,” Montgomery said.

“I knew (when he let it go), it was going to be good. It feels pretty good to be going to state.

Getting the 150 throw on my second throw in finals helped relax me.”

Montgomery gets a chance to be a double qualifier, when both he and his brother compete in the shot put for Lehman.

“This (making it to state) helps, but I still want to make it in both events,” Montgomery said.

“Hopefully, I can get another PR (next week).”

Several local boys just missed qualifying for state Wednesday.

The Covington foursome of Dustin Fickert, Matt Carder, Nathan Dunn and Alex Schilling finished seventh in the 3,200 relay, 8:28.39.

Mack Rose of Miami East tied for fifth in the pole vault, clearing 12-6; while Covington’s Trent Tobias finished seventh, clearing the same height.

Field events will start at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, while running events will start at 2:30 p.m.

For Bethel, senior Dereck Diddle secured himself a spot in the finals with a fourth-place finish in the 400 (50.99 seconds) and Andrew Hurst placed seventh in the 100 (11.58) to advance to the finals. In the finals of the boys long jump, Jacob Tumey placed 10th (19-1.5).

Troy Christian’s Tyler Shinall just missed making it out in the long jump, placing fifth (20-3.5).

■ Olympics

Wrestling, baseball-softball, squash on IOC list ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — And now for the gold-medal match.

Three months after wrestling got kicked out of the 2020 Olympics, the ancient sport is back in the frame and will compete against baseball-softball and squash for a spot in the games.

“We had the opportunity to have a second chance to compete,” international wrestling federation head Nenad Lalovic said Wednesday after the three sports made the IOC short list. “We took the opportunity. We won the first match but there is another one to fight.”

Of eight sports competing for a place on the 2020 program, five were eliminated karate, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboarding and the Chinese martial art of wushu.

The IOC executive board decided to recommend wrestling, squash and baseball-softball to the full IOC assembly for a final decision on Sept. 8 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Only one will get through.

“We are competitors. We had seven and now we

have two,” said Lalovic, a Serb who has revamped FILA and led the campaign for reinstatement. “Be careful, we are good fighters.”

Despite a tradition dating to the Olympics of ancient Greece, wrestling was cut from the list of core sports by the IOC board in February. The decision caused an international uproar and prompted the United States, Russia, Iran and other countries to join forces in an unlikely political alliance to save the sport.

Wrestling has gone through a major upheaval since the rejection. Raphael Martinetti resigned as FILA president within days of the decision and was replaced by Lalovic, who won election as fulltime leader 10 days ago.

FILA has brought women and athletes into decision-making roles and enacted rule changes to make the competition more compelling. Matches will now consist of two threeminute sessions instead of three two-minute periods, and scoring will be cumulative instead of the previous best-of-three system.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 at a certain level — and it didn’t happen,” Troy boys coach Deon Metz said.

“You can’t come in here and be overconfident.

“Coming in on paper, we knew he could win today.

But he still had to work hard for it. Some other people stepped up today.”

As one of only three people over the 14-foot mark, Fleischer’s place at next week’s state meet was already assured — which assisted the junior in calming down.

“It did. It’s definitely nice, knowing I’d already qualified,” Fleischer said.

“When it got down to five guys, I was like ‘oh no.’ But then two guys dropped out at 14-0. That was the deciding height.”

Once 14-3 and the rest of the competition was out of the way, Fleischer set the bar at 14-9, going once again for the Troy High School record, which he already set at the GWOC meet. He came up empty — even though he had the height on his final attempt, he hit the bar on the way up.

Still, he knows what he wants to accomplish in Columbus next week.

“I’ve got the fourth-best jump in D-I right now, I think. But I’ll still have to work hard. I want to get 15-feet,” Fleischer said. “If I just go out and do what i do, I should be able to get on the podium.”

• Testing Limits When they saw that Mason’s 4x800 team was coming into the regional having just ran a 7:51, Tippecanoe’s team may have been a little intimidated.

“We saw they’d ran a 7:51 at their district, and we were impressed,” anchor Grant Koch said.

“And we knew St. X (Xavier) had a good team, too. But we knew we wanted to go out after Mason.”

And even though the Red Devil squad of Koch, Sam Wharton, Rick Andrews and Mitchell Poynter finished third, it did so in a school-record time of 7:52.13, advancing to next week’s state meet for a rematch.

“When I saw how fast they’d (Mason) run last week, I didn’t think we could go that fast,” Poynter said.

“Heck, I didn’t even feel like we went as fast as we did today,” Andrews said.

“We obviously though we had a shot at winning, but we haven’t been pushed that much coming into today,” Koch said. “But a school record and getting to go to state? We did what we wanted to do. Sam got us a good lead, Mitchell as a freshman kept it together well, Rick picked off a couple people and I tried to bring it home.”

Koch and Wharton have state track experience.

Koch qualified last year, and Wharton has been a fixture there since he was a freshman — but never as a member of a relay team.

“My freshman year, I went as an individual when we had a relay team go, too, but I wasn’t on that team. And hopefully I can

He and Andrews run in the 3,200 on Friday. “But it’s going to be a different atmosphere getting to run with a team there.”

Andrews, another senior, will make his first trip, while Poynter takes all the experience in and will look to carry the torch even after next week’s race.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Andrews said. “It feels nice to know I’ll be going to state to compete instead of just watching from the stands.”

“These guys help me out a lot,” Poynter said.

“I’m so thankful to have these seniors to help me get this opportunity.”

“They’re a great group,” Tippecanoe distance coach Steve Verhoff said.

“Obviously, they’re all extremely talented. But they’re good kids, too, and that’s what makes them so special to work with. We’ve got three seasoned veterans grooming a young pup for the future, and these guys are some of the fiercest competitors I’ve ever worked with. They always seem to rise to the occasion.”

Come next week, Mason and St. Xavier — which finished first (7:51.5) and second (7:51.51) on Wednesday — may find out just how fierce.

“Coach Verhoff and I have talked, and we still think there’s room for improvement with this team,” Tippecanoe head coach Bob Crawford said.

“We feel like these will be the top three teams next week, also. If we make some adjustments and get a little more aggressive here and there, we could just end up a couple of steps higher.”

• Another Record Falls The goal for Troy’s 4x400 relay team of Ashley Rector, Catelyn Schmiedebusch, Todda Norris and Gracie

Troy’s Todda Norris competes Wednesday.

Huffman all year has been four minutes.

They may reassess after Wednesday and add onto that — a regional title.

The quartet not only cracked the four-minute barrier, it shattered it and broke the school record in the process, running 3:53.94 — the fastest qualifying time on the day by almost three seconds.

The old record of 3:56.15 was set by Yvette Williams, Lucretia Smith, Kelli Kessler and Heather Wheat in 1988.

“They’ve been trying to break four minutes all year,” Troy girls coach Kurt Snyder said. “They’ve been winning that race in the last several meets, and they hadn’t really been pushed in it. Tonight, they were pushed.”

They were also one of three relay teams to advance to Friday’s finals.

The 4x200 team of Huffman, Rector, Norris and Shanelle Byrd qualified (1:43.01), as did the 4x100 team of Huffman, Byrd, Norris and Sharice Hibbler (49.17 seconds).

Huffman ran the fourth-fastest time in the 400 (58.1 seconds) to qualify, while Rector was

eighth (59.52 seconds) and grabbed the final qualifying spot.

Schmiedebusch — who was disappointed when she missed the qualifying cut in the 100 hurdles (10th, 16.56 seconds) — qualified for the finals in the 300 hurdles (47.2 seconds).

The boys 4x100 team of Devante Bush, Miles Hibbler, Nick Zimmer and Blake Williams also qualified, running 43.06 seconds.

• Missing The Cut Troy junior Alex Dalton narrowly missed the regional cut in the discus, earning a place on the podium and finishing sixth (147-3). Seth Overla finished 12th (132-1). The boys 4x800 team of Jon Osman, Branden Nosker, Troy Schultz and Stephen Jones was 15th (8:30.76), and Roshaun Wesson was 10th in the 400 prelims (50.63 seconds).

Tippecanoe’s 4x800 team of Allison Sinning, Emily Wolfe, Claudia Barhorst and Erica Comer was 11th (10:00.68). Troy’s 4x800 team of McKenna Poling, Caitlyn McMinn, Sarah Adkins and Sarah Hartley was 15th (10:36.9).

Things getting interesting for Federer PARIS (AP) — Now things could get a little more interesting for Roger Federer.

After a pair of straightforward and straight-set victories at the French Open against qualifiers ranked outside the top 150, the 17-time major champion will face a seeded player, France’s Julien Benneteau, who not only already beat Federer once this year but also came within two points of upsetting him at Wimbledon, of all places, in 2012.

“I think I’m playing OK,” Federer said in something of an understatement, considering he’s dropped 11 games through six sets so far. “Definitely think the next match is going to be sort of the big test for me, to

see exactly where I stand.”

There wasn’t much trouble for Federer in the second round Wednesday, when he beat two-time NCAA singles champion Somdev Devvarman 6-2, 61, 6-1 in less than 1 hours while accumulating a 54-12 edge in winners.

It really was something of a laugher, especially with Federer serving at 4-0 in the final set. He hit a first serve well out, and both players waited for the linesman to make a call which he finally did, albeit after a long delay. Federer and Devvarman chuckled, looked at each other, and chuckled some more. As Federer prepared to hit his second serve, he needed to pause because he couldn’t regain his composure.

■ National Hockey League

Otherwise, little troubled him as he accumulated a 54-12 edge in winners, in part by moving forward to the net on 30 points.

“I’m happy that I was playing offensive and aggressive tennis in the first two matches, because I had the opportunity, but I didn’t back off and start to play passive tennis and wait for mistakes. So I took it to my opponent,” said Federer, the 2009 French Open champion. “But really, I think I’ll only know more after the Benneteau match, to be quite honest.”

Then again, Benneteau might not quite be the same guy who took the first two sets against Federer before losing in five on the grass of the All England Club nearly a year ago. Or the one

who has beaten Federer twice in six meetings, including 6-3, 7-5 in February on an indoor hard court at Rotterdam, Netherlands.

The 30th-seeded Benneteau dealt with pain in his thigh Wednesday during a topsy-turvy 7-6 (9), 7-5, 5-7, 0-6, 6-4 win against Tobias Kamke of Germany. Ahead by two sets and at 5-all in the third, Benneteau dropped 10 games in a row before righting himself.

Even putting that aside, Benneteau explained, “obviously it’s all pretty tricky, (playing) Federer. He breezed through the first two rounds. He plays very well. … You know you’re going to have to really ramp up a gear.”

Roger Federer smiles as he plays against Somdev Devvarman in their second round match of the French Open tennis tournament Wednesday at Roland Garros stadium in Paris.

Members of the Chicago Blackhawks celebrate after defeating the Detroit Red Wings Wednesday.

Seabrook’s goal in OT lifts Blackhawks to Game 7 victory CHICAGO (AP) Brent Seabrook sent a wrist shot past goalie Jimmy Howard’s glove 3:35 into overtime to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings in Game 7 of their second-round playoff series on Wednesday night.

The Blackhawks, who had the best record in the NHL regular season, rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to reach the Western Conference finals against the defending Stanley Cup champion

Los Angeles Kings.

Seabrook picked up a loose puck and skated in on Howard through the middle of the ice, with Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall in front of him. His shot appeared to hit Kronwall’s leg before it sailed into the left side of the net for the Chicago defenseman’ first goal of the postseason.

The sellout crowd of 22,103 roared as Seabrook skated over to the boards and was mobbed by his teammates.

Nicklaus says Woods-Garcia dispute is ‘stupid’ DUBLIN (AP) — Jack Nicklaus only has to look at some of the clashes on the PGA Tour in recent months to see how far golf has come since he was in his prime.

That’s not necessarily a good thing.

“We were trying to figure out how to get somebody to write about anything when we played,” Nicklaus said Wednesday on the eve of the Memorial.

“I think today you have to figure out how you keep somebody from writing about anything. It’s a big difference.”

Vijay Singh is suing the PGA Tour over its anti-doping policy. A small group of players has retained a lawyer over the new rule involving long putters. And the dispute getting all the attention is Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia, who didn’t hide their dislike for each other until it reached a point last week that Garcia made a comment with racial overtures about Woods.

“The Sergio-Tiger thing, I mean, it’s stupid,” Nicklaus said. “Do guys have an issue one with

another? They usually resolve it themselves. You guys want to resolve it in the newspapers today.

Nobody needs that. And I think they both finally said, ‘It’s enough. Forget it, guys.

Let’s move on.’ In our days, I suppose there were times when you had an issue with somebody and it came about. You never read about it.”

The Woods-Garcia spat turned ugly last week when Garcia was jokingly asked at a European Tour dinner outside London if he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open.

Trying to go along with the sarcasm, the Spaniard said he would serve fried chicken.

Garcia apologized that night in a statement and the next day in a news conference, though he said he had been unable to reach Woods over the phone.

Woods was asked Wednesday if he considered getting in touch with Garcia to hear the apology so he wouldn’t have to deal with it during a busy, important week at the U.S. Open.

Newton’s Laura Burden runs to first base Wednesday in Tipp City.

After Triad scored in the home first, Newton responded with two runs in the second, with Tiara Jackson knocking home Kasey Thompson, who singled to open the inning.

Two batters later, McKell Deaton hit a double to score Jackson and give Newton a 2-1 lead.

And the Indians built on that lead in the top of the third, courtesy of a Triad error and a big hit by Kirsten Burden. With one on and two outs, Thompson hit a lazy pop fly in between the pitcher and first baseman, but the defense let the ball drop, leaving runners on second and third. Burden came through with a clutch single to give Newton a 4-1 lead.

But Triad pulled closer in the bottom of the fourth, loading the bases to begin the inning, before Puckett brought in two runs with her first double of the game. The Cardinals tried a suicide squeeze on the

With the goahead runner still in scoring position, Burden forced two straight fly outs to end the inning and keep the Indians on top.

It was the final game in the career of Burden, who was the primary starting pitcher for Newton’s state championship team when she was a freshman and all three years after that.

In the top of the fifth, though, the wheels came off for the young Indians and they could never recover. Triad pitcher Hannah Watkins was flawless over the last three innings, holding Newton to just one hit during that stretch and allowing just one baserunner.

“We made some mistakes,, and they took advantage of them, too,”

Newton’s Tiarra Jackson fields a ball as teammate Laura Oaks runs by.

Kadel said. “They hit the ball well, and they’re a well-coached team. We just couldn’t seem to get a break when we needed it. I thought we had a chance early in the game to bury them a little deeper, and we didn’t quite do it. Whenever

you leave a good team like that around, they’re going to get you. That’s kind of what happened.”

Ex-player backs up allegations vs. Hermann KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) — A former Tennessee volleyball player has written a blog post backing up her teammates’ accusations that incoming Rutgers athletic director Julie Hermann abused them verbally and emotionally during her coaching tenure in the 1990s.

On her blog (www.erinzammettruddy.com), Erin Zammett Ruddy wrote Wednesday that the players held a meeting after the 1996 season to figure out why they were miserable, and “we quickly realized Julie was the common denominator.” Zammett Ruddy said the players detailed their grievances in a letter they brought to Joan Cronan, the Tennessee women’s athletic director at the time.

While Zammett Ruddy’s statement supports allegations that were first reported by The StarLedger of Newark, N.J., on Saturday night, she also wrote of Hermann that, “our intention today is not to see her suffer or to take her down in any way. None of us wants that. It is simply to tell the truth

because we were asked.

And because it is relevant.”

Zammett Ruddy added that “just because she was a bad coach doesn’t mean she can’t be a good administrator.”

Separately, another Tennessee player who graduated earlier in Hermann’s tenure praised her on Wednesday.

Hermann was the Tennessee women’s volleyball coach from 1991-96 and went on to serve as an administrator in Louisville’s athletic department. Now she is set to replace Tim Pernetti at Rutgers. He resigned as athletic director after men’s basketball coach Mike Rice was fired for throwing balls at players and using abusive language.

Hermann is scheduled to take over as Rutgers’ athletic director on June 17, but her work record has become a major issue at New Jersey’s state university, still reeling from the Rice scandal and a series of missteps since.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Tuesday he has “absolute confidence” in school president Robert

Barchi, who has endorsed Hermann.

In the Tennessee matter, Zammett Ruddy wrote that Cronan called a team meeting in which the players discussed their issues with Hermann face-toface.

Cronan issued a statement Tuesday in which she said, “I hold Julie Hermann in high regard and I believe she is wellprepared for her new role at Rutgers University.”
