Deadly blaze Firefighters killed in Houston motel fire

Cobbler impresses her guests She doesn’t like to cook — but loves to bake.

Though Nancy Deal had only one strawberry recipe — Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler — to enter into the Troy Daily News’ annual strawberry recipe contest, it was enough.

Deal said she got the recipe from North Pole Savings on Facebook, where she has found several other good recipes.

“I tried it out on my husband’s poker club a couple weeks ago,” said Deal, who retired after 35 years with Vandalia schools as a kindergarten teacher. “They loved it.

It’s really good with a dollop of ice cream on it.” Coming

HOUSTON (AP) — Four firefighters searching for people they thought might be trapped in a blazing Houston motel and restaurant Friday were killed when the part of the structure collapsed and ensnared them, authorities said.

At least five other firefighters were hospitalized in the blaze that became the deadliest in the 118year history of the Houston Fire Department.

Homeowners stagger under costs GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) When Stan Virden moved into his 2,400-square-foot house overlooking a rock-lined canal in 1996, he paid less than $1,000 a year for homeowners insurance.

Now, as he seeks to move to Atlanta to be near family, Virden says potential buyers for the house are being scared off by the annual premium, which has skyrocketed to $5,000. See

Still time to make the doughnuts Troy Music Boosters prepare weekend’s most popular food

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com Smothered, covered, battered and dipped is the protocol as band parents and students flung the famous doughnut dough for the 6 first 24 hours for presales

and deliveries Friday afternoon.

Storms may have washed out the Friday night events at the Troy Strawberry Festival, but the Troy Music Boosters’ strawberry doughnut preparations kept rolling.

Sales of the festival’s most

TROY popular food item are expected to continue today and Sunday.

Troy Junior High School seventh-grade student Zach Nave was in charge of applying the famous strawberry sticky glaze that adorns the doughnuts before they are sealed in their plastic case.

“My job is glazing; it’s really sticky,” Nave said.

“I’ve gone through nine pairs of gloves already and I’ve been here since 9:45 a.m.”

Nave shared the finer points of how the glaze adheres to the circles of hot doughnuts.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans cut back on spending in April after their income failed to grow, a sign that economic growth may be slowing.

Consumer spending dropped a seasonally adjusted 0.2 percent in April, the Commerce Department said Friday.

That was the first decline since last May. It followed a 0.1 percent increase in March and a 0.8 percent jump in February.

A drop in gas prices likely lowered overall spending. Adjusted for inflation, spending ticked up 0.1 percent last month.

Still, that was the smallest gain since October.

Consumers also likely spent less to heat their homes last month, which may have reduced spending on utilities. April’s weather was mild after an unusually cold March.

Income was unchanged last month, after a 0.3 percent rise in March and 1.2 • See SPENDING on 2

• Business Highlights • VIENNA (AP) — OPEC oil ministers reached quick agreement Friday on keeping output targets steady but deferred solutions on how to deal with surging U.S. shale oil production and internal rivalries denting the organization's image of unity.

The 12-nation oil cartel's decision on keeping the status quo on production of 30 million barrels a day was expected. The price for internationally traded benchmark oil is over $100 barrels a day, level most OPEC countries are happy with.

• DETROIT (AP) — General Motors is hoping that a hurry-up makeover of the Chevrolet Malibu will move it from also-ran to a top performer in the key midsize car segment.

The company unveiled the 2014 version of the car Friday, hoping it will catch on in the heart of the U.S. auto market now dominated by Toyota's Camry, Honda's Accord and Ford's Fusion.

The rapid revamp comes just a year after the current version of the Malibu reached U.S. showrooms.

vency in 2033 remains unchanged, the government reported.

An overall slowdown in health care spending is helping Medicare.

Spending cuts in President Barack Obama’s health care law are also having a positive impact on the balance sheet, but they may prove politically unsustainable over the long run.

WASHINGTON (AP) Medicare’s long-term health is starting to look a little better, the government said Friday, but both Social Security and Medicare are still wobbling toward insolvency within two decades if Congress and the president don’t find a way to shore up the trust funds established to care of older take Americans.

Medicare’s giant fund for inpatient care will be exhausted in 2026, two years later than estimated last year, while Social Security’s projected insol-

urged lawmakers anew to seize a current opportunity and make long-term changes to improve finances. Action now would be far less jarring than having to hit the brakes at the edge of a fiscal cliff.

Politically, however, Friday’s positive report and the absence of a crisis could make legislative action less likely, especially in light of the lack of trust between President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress. No end is in sight for the partisan standoff over what to do about Social Security and

Medicare, two of the government’s costliest programs, and the mammoth budget deficits they help fuel.

Still, fresh warnings were sounded.

“Under current law, both of these vitally important programs are on unsustainable paths,” said economist Robert D. Reischauer, one of two independent public trustees overseeing the annual reports.

The window for action “is in the process of closing even as we speak,” said his counterpart, Charles

Blahous III, also a prominent economist.

Social Security provides monthly benefit checks to about 57 million people, including 40 million retirees and their dependents, 11 million disabled workers and dependents and 6 million survivors of deceased workers.

Medicare covers nearly 51 million people, mainly retirees but also disabled workers.

If the funds ever become exhausted, the nation’s two biggest benefit programs would collect only enough money to pay partial bene-

in the manufacturing process.

“Having friends around helps the time pass by faster,” Metzger said.

Troy High School graduate Richard Mitchell, last year’s field director, came back to help out his fellow Trojans, clocking in nearly 12 hours Friday.

Mitchell shared the key to the sweet success of the doughnut making around the clock.

“I’m drinking lots of coffee, keeping hydrated — caffeine, caffeine, caffeine,” Mitchell said.

Troy Music Booster’s shift director Jodi Metzger said students are really invested in the fundraiser and provide hands-on help with the parents.

“They are so invested in this project,” Metzger said.

“The kids are in here and are helpful and organized — they are great.”

This year features two new additions to the strawberry doughnuts – credit card payments and a drive-through.

This year, the Troy Music Boosters tried a convenient drive-through system for those who visited the stadium before the storm clouds rolled in Friday morning.

“It has gone really well,” said Carol Jackson, incoming treasurer for the organization. “The kids are out delivering this morning and pick-ups have gone well.”

Shortly after noon on Friday, Jackson said the organization had sold 1,600 dozen doughnuts.

Jackson said Troy Music Boosters had raised approximately $13,000 in doughnut presales and deliveries on Friday. The money collected throughout the weekend helps support the Troy City School’s music department for grades six through high school for band, choir and orchestra needs.

The doughnuts will be available as supplies last at Troy Memorial Stadium on the visitor’s side through Sunday.

body was removed from the smoldering remains around 4 p.m., some four hours after the blaze broke out, firefighters working in swirling winds, steamy humidity and temperatures exceeding 90 degrees paused and saluted. A procession of ambulances, under police motorcycle escort, left the scene about 90 minutes later and made a ceremonial drive past the fallen firefighters’ station,

by then draped in black.

“We will provide appropriate services to our fallen firefighters and full honors, but there is nothing we can do that will heal the hurt that we all feel today,” Mayor Annise Parker said.

“I ask for every Houstonian to offer their prayers to the families of these fallen firefighters, and also to think about what the job of firefighter is and the dangers they face every day.”.

Doughnuts

Canceled encouraged all 19 teams to sign up for next year’s race.

“What a bummer. The streets are all clean and the teams are ready to go.

But Mother Nature’s in charge, and we can only be disappointed, not angry,” Watkins said Friday evening.

Despite the race being canceled, he did give out a couple awards. The Best Themed Crew went to the Miami Jacobs Magical Vet Tech team, while the Best Themed Bed was awarded to the Child & Adolescent Specialty Care team.

“These were awarded tongue-in-cheek as I met them to tell them the bad news,” Watkins said. “I’m sure there were others, but these were the only ones who were downtown in the rain toughing it out until the decision to cancel was made.”

With all festivities canceled, clubs and organization vendors were left with an abundance of food — including a Boy Scout troop with 80 pies.

“Another vendor was kind enough to let them sell their pies through the vendor. We have to get approval from the health department, and hopefully it’ll all work out,” Dankworth said.

Provided the weather cooperates, all weekend events should continue as planned.

“We’re hoping for great weather (Saturday), and we still have McGuffey Lane performing (tonight) at 8 at the stadium,” he said.

■ CONTINUED FROM 1 Mayor Michael Beamish will be present, as will Mayor Takanori Kondo and delegates of Takahashi City. With no sound system in place this morning, Dankworth said he and Mayor Beamish planned to say only a few words instead of giving speeches.

All kickoff events were called off about 5:30 p.m., said festival Manager Heather Dorsten, after festival organizers discussed the situation with a local meteorologist and Troy Police, who then dispersed news of the cancellation.

Dorsten said she kept envisioning a weatherrelated incident at the Indiana State Fair in 2011, where several people died when a stage collapsed during a storm.

“That was something that kept hitting me all the time I was out there,” Dorsten said. “We were going to call it at 5, but we were still watching the radar. It looked like there was another storm front on the radar coming right toward us, and it was supposed to last about two hours long with a bunch of rain that would be right during our events.”

Referring to the bed races, Dorsten said running on pavement or sitting on a metal bed would pose a serious safety threat in the event of a thunderstorm.

Bed Races Chairman Matt Watkins apologized to the competitors and

“It takes 10 seconds — it feels like forever.”

Nave, a baritone trombone player, and other students prepared the doughnuts around the clock Friday on through the weekend as the adults manned the fryers of hot oil.

Troy High School sophomore Angela Hess methodically placed the finished glazed doughnuts in the clear plastic cases.

Hess’ favorite part of helping?

“You get to eat the funky looking ones,” the percussion player said.

Sophomore Alex Dyke measured out bowls of batter outside of the hot kitchen.

“I’ve been here since 10 a.m.,” he said. “It’s fun to hang out with friends.”

Senior Will Metzger said it’s tempting to “batter up” friends during lulls

Wages and salaries barely grew, while government benefit payments fell.

The retrenchment in spending indicates consumers may be starting to feel the impact of higher taxes. But a separate report Friday showed consumer

confidence rose to a sixyear high in May, suggesting the decline in spending may be temporary.

Americans are taking home less pay this year because of a 2 percentage point increase in Social Security taxes. A person earning $50,000 a year has about $1,000 less to spend this year.

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

TROY DAILY NEWS EDITORIAL

Troy has earned right to put on big concert Thousands of towns across North America — many simliar in size and demographics to Troy — applied to be a stop along the Mumford & Sons “Gentlemen of the Road” tour.

Many applied — few were chosen.

Troy was fortunate enough to be one of the half-dozen places picked to host the Gentlemen of the Road stop. Why? In large part because Troy does provide the perfect “small town” backdrop Mumford & Sons and their production company, Jam Productions, was looking for, but much more than that, because of the hard work put in by dozens of individuals and city entitites to convince the production company that Troy had all that Mumford & Sons were looking for.

Organizations such as Troy Main Street, the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce, Troy City Council, the Troy Mayor’s Office, Troy City Schools and the Troy Police Department — just to name a few — were instrumental in putting together a package that made Troy shine amongst the thousands of other applicants. It took months of hard work and dedication by these people and groups to make sure Mumford & Sons — along with other artists — pick Troy.

Those same individuals and groups who made sure Troy was selected for this honor are the same individuals and groups who will be working diligently to make sure the weekend festival goes off without a hitch. While some in the community have voiced their concerns regarding this concert and what effects it will have upon our community, we feel as though those people who made Troy stand out enough to be selected to host the concert deserve the opportunity to prove they can put on a seamless concert.

Really, that is a big part of what makes Troy such a special place to live. Troy hasn’t become a place we all are proud to call home by accident — it has come about through the continued hard work and decidation of people who are willing to go above and beyond to ensure Troy is recognized as a great city throughout the region, state and nation.

We have no doubts those same people will put in that same hard work to make sure those who come to Troy from across the country and around the globe will have nothing but good things to say about our home when they leave following the concert.

If you’ll remember, it was just one year ago that many in Troy felt as though the city of Troy was headed for doom and gloom when it was forced to move the annual Troy Strawberry Festival from its happy home on the levee to downtown Troy due to the reconstruction of the Adams Street Bridge.

Many feared the festival — and downtown Troy itself — wouldn’t be the same afterward. The downtown festival was a success, however, with many clubs and organizations recording record sales downtown.

Furthermore, there is a precedent for this festival coming off as a resounding success. One year ago, Mumford & Sons performed in Dixon, Ill., a town very similar to Troy in both size and demographics. Dixon officials have had nothing but rave reviews for the concert, saying it was not only a financial success, but Mumford & Sons, along with its production company, actually left the city’s infrastructure in better shape than it had been previously.

While we certainly understand there are some who are concerned with how this concert will affect this city we call home, all we ask is that those who worked so hard to bring this concert to Troy — along with the group and its production company — be given an opportunity to show this can be an unparalleled success.

LETTERS

Freedom of the press key to a democracy To the Editor: I read a letter in today's paper, May 31, criticizing the paper's decision to print a previous letter objecting to the upcoming Gentlemen of the Road tour stop.

I also read the “As I See It” column written by a native

Trojan expressing support for the tour.

While there are many letters to the editor printed that do not reflect my opinions, I am grateful that we still have a small town newspaper that adheres to journalistic standards that express various points of view.

One of the basic premises of our democracy is a free press.

Readers of the TDN can clearly

see that its editor provides a forum for members of our community to have their voices heard no matter which side of an issue they support. Finally, I will be in the crowd for Mumford & Sons with my 20something daughters and teenage nieces. We are delighted the tour is coming to town!

DOONESBURY

Five things I wish I had known about marriage We’ve been waiting for this weekend for some time now.

In fact, nearly half of our weekends over the last few months have been leading up to this moment.

From dress shopping and fittings, to bridal showers and bachelorette parties, we’ve been waiting for our best friends to get married for what seems like years.

But it’s finally here.

The Bacher clan is about to get real.

And because I’m typing this column the eve of their wedding day, with a maid-of-honor speech yet to spill out from my fingertips, I decided to use this column to do what I really do best.

Vent. And warn. And laugh.

And wonder what the heck any of us gets ourselves into when we decide to commit ourselves to one person for the rest of our lives.

So in honor of my husband and I’s best friends tying the knot today, I’m going to do them a big favor and discuss the five things I wish I knew about marriage before sealing the deal.

For starters, the rest of your life doesn’t stop when you get married, as much as we might want it to. When your big day is over and you’ve taken off that big fancy dress, the tuxedo and Converse shoes you lovingly picked out, everything that today wasn’t about will still be waiting for you.

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist There will still be bills to pay, bickering to be had and you’ll both still have to wake up and return to work, eventually.

So enjoy this day in every way you possibly can. Relish in the people and the feeling of excitement. Indulge in the emotions and intensity in the air. Love even the catering mishaps, the cramp in your faces from smiling too many times and the smudges you’ll inevitably get on your dress. Love it all to pieces.

People say the first year of marriage is the hardest. To me, those people didn’t see any years past the first. The first year of marriage is filled with its ups and downs, as is any first year of anything, but if we’re being honest, every year of marriage takes work.

Every year feels like the hardest.

But the first year, it’s still magical.

It’s still sugar and spice and everything nice. Come talk to me after 10 years of marriage and

— Rachel Livengood Troy

multiple babies. I have yet to see a decade of commitment and I can already tell I’m in for one heck of a ride.

Learn how to be a team. You might think that you already know how to be a team with someone since you did decide to get married and all, but there’s a whole new level of realness that develops after you say “I do.”

Suddenly, you realize things aren’t as simple as walking out when one of you gets mad, but instead, you’re in it for the long haul.

Embrace the long haul. Learn how to work together to get through it and love each other more once you do. Marriage isn’t going to be perfect; you’re not going to be perfect. Few teams in the history of time have achieved perfection, so don’t expect more from yourself than you can give.

But just like any good team does, lay it all on the line and give everything you’ve got. Every time.

No exception.

Recognize that despite being part of a team, every group is still comprised of individuals. You are both still individuals and just because you sign a piece of paper doesn’t mean you merge identities.

Merge souls, share secrets, split last names, but don’t ever, ever lose yourself.

Not only will it hurt your marriage, it will hurt you.

And last but not least, mar-

riage is not about happily ever after — it’s actually better than that.

The notion of happily ever after wraps two individual’s lives together in a pretty pink bow and sends them off in a horse-drawn carriage to have hundreds of babies and rule a kingdom.

That’s not real life.

But the good news is that real life is grittier. It’s so honest and blemished and ruined in the most perfect way that if two completely flawed people can find a way to live, love and support each other for the next 50 years, by their own choice, not by some magical spell or promise of happily ever after, then that is what true love is.

That is what happily ever after really means.

As you coat your lashes with mascara and loop your tie into the perfect knot, revel in all these small details. Life is not made of big moments, but rather tiny memories all pasted together.

And marriage is the everyday sprinkled with a few glimmers of amazing here and there. Marriage is finding the sparkle in the ordinary.

Amanda Stewart appears Saturday in the Troy Daily News.

She wishes nothing but love, happiness and a real-life happily ever after for the Mr. Kevin and Mrs. Jennifer Bacher.

Only death halted this true love story

BY DEBRA TOBIN Associated Press LOGAN — When Dan Enderle married the love of his life in November 1961, he spoke those eloquent classic words: “I take you, Sandra J. Dotson, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.”

And that is exactly what Dan did. He took care of his wife until May 14, 2013, the day he passed away from kidney failure.

Dan was placed in Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation (formerly the Logan Health Care Center) in July 2008 and dearly missed his wife and family. He still had that urge to want to take care of them, although he knew it was impossible.

In February 2011, Sandra joined him in the care facility and was placed in the same room. Staff members of the care unit said Dan’s life changed at that moment.

“He loved having Sandra there in the same room with him,” stated Amy Campbell, director of admissions. “He had the love of his life back and he kept watch over her and made over her like they were just married. You could see the love they had for each other even after all these years.”

Dan had worked in the food industry in his earlier days, and loved experimenting with a variety of cuisine, especially Hungarian food. However, he always remarked while the food was good, it could never compare to Sandra’s.

According to Campbell, Dan was very attentive to Sandra’s needs although he was ill himself. He always made sure she ate her meals, got her medicine

and whatever else she needed throughout her day.

“It was so cute to see how much he still loved and cared for her,” stated Campbell. “It was like a love story being played out day by day. He’s going to be missed by everyone, especially Sandra.”

Laura, his daughter, remembers her dad as quick-witted, very charming and having a great sense of humor.

“He had a zest for life,” she stated. “He was always upbeat and positive and gave me the best advice and was a great example for me and my brother, Craig.”

He had a great love for family and all things country; he was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish and garden.

Laura said some of her fondest memories were summers spent at their cabin, cooking out, having campfires, picking berries, hiking and play Euchre with both of her parents.

While Dan had a great love for his family, he also grew to love the care facility and all the staff who took care of him. He loved them so much he wrote a letter depicting his feelings.

Unfortunately, Dan passed away recently.

Sandra is still at Kindred Care and is doing OK, but longing for her soul mate.

“I’m forever grateful for the wonderful example he was to us and for passing down his love of the outdoors to us,” stated Laura.

“He will be forever missed — he was truly a good man.”

“He was very caring and protective of his wife,” stated Campbell. “He wanted to set the record straight about nursing homes.

Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse before he could convey his message.”

Consider his message conveyed… loud and clear.

STATE BRIEFS

Patrol looking into hacking COLUMBUS (AP) — The State Highway Patrol is investigating the apparent hacking of the website for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which said Friday that the unauthorized changes never jeopardized any personal information for department employees or the public.

An unauthorized user made changes embedded in the website’s code to redirect visitors or increase Internet traffic at other sites, department spokesman Matt Eiselstein said in an email. The code changes weren’t visible to the public and have been corrected, he said.

The state began its investigation earlier this week after The Associated Press contacted Natural Resources about unusual activity on an agency website page that outlines rules and regulations for dealing with dangerous wild animals.

“ODNR will work with our state partners to identify the people responsible and take all necessary steps to prevent similar unauthorized access like this from happening again,” Eiselstein said.

police spokeswoman Detective Jennifer Ciaccia said.

No charges were immediately filed, but those arrested were being booked for aggravated rioting, Drummond said. By city practice, charges are filed after prosecutors review a case.

A parent of students at the school, Brianna Smith, was alerted by a neighbor about the fight and went to the school to get her 7- and 12-year-old sons. “It makes me not want to send them for the rest of the school year,” she told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer.

City Councilman Jeff Johnson lives across the street from the school, which is in a blue-collar neighborhood overlooking the leafy Wendy’s tests University Circle arts and museum district.

But the concoction wasn’t created just to please taste buds. The burger is a reflection of Wendy’s emphasis on offering more premium breads that raise perceptions about the quality of its food without increasing its own costs too much.

A unique bun, for example, gives a burger a higherquality veneer that lets Wendy’s charge higher prices. The chain has made a similar push recently with flatbread chicken sandwiches.

Jury still deliberating CINCINNATI — A jury deliberated Friday without reaching a verdict in a teacher’s lawsuit alleging the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati violated anti-discrimination laws when she was fired after becoming pregnant through artificial insemination.

The jury hearing Christa Dias’ federal lawsuit against the archdiocese and two of its schools deliberated throughout the afternoon before breaking for the weekend.

Dias’ attorney, Robert Klingler, said during closing arguments Friday that Dias was fired in 2010 because she was pregnant and unmarried and that her firing while pregnant violated anti-discrimination laws.

Klingler said she was fired “by an archdiocese that thought it was above the law.” He said the jury had the power to tell the archdiocese that there is “not a separate set of laws” that applies to it.

Attorney Steven Goodin, representing the archdiocese and the schools, told jurors the case is about Dias’ employment contract and her conduct, which he said violated that pact.

Methodist newspaper to close after 166 years DALLAS (AP) — When Debbie Christian’s mother was dying, she did everything she could to make her comfortable. Finally, when the time came, she could only watch as her mom slowly slipped away.

Christian’s feeling that same sense of grief and loss for the Dallas-based United Methodist Reporter, a 166-year-old Texas institution that is seeing its last days.

“I’m standing vigil for something that’s been very important in my life,” said Christian, director of production for the newspaper who has worked there since 1975.

“I’m in mourning.”

The announced closing of the Reporter, which covered the denomination but was independent of the church, saddened many who remember the critical role it once played uniting Methodists around the country.

The paper’s last day is Friday.

Tony Pederson, chairman of the journalism department at Southern Methodist University, called it “a bad day for journalism and a bad day for Methodism.”

“The Reporter has always been quite a strong voice for Methodists,” Pederson said, “but also just for overall matters of faith.”

The Reporter traces its roots to 1847, when Methodists began publishing the Texas Christian Advocate and Brenham Advertiser in Brenham.

After several name and location changes, the publication moved to Dallas in 1887. The current name was adopted in 1981,

Debbie Christian, left, director of production, along with Linda Bell, work on a desktop folding machine, on May 24 at the United Methodist Reporter office in Dallas. The Reporter, a 166-year-old Texas institution, is seeing its last days. The announced closing of the Reporter, which covered the denomination but was independent of the church, saddened many who remember the critical role it once played uniting Methodists around the country. according to the Handbook of Texas.

Though many were sorry to hear of the weekly’s closing, few familiar with the paper were surprised.

“It’s no secret that many faith communities are stretched financially, particularly among mainline Protestants,” said Debra Mason, director of the Center on

Religion and the Professions at the University of Missouri. “One of the first places that they cut are their communications.”

Like many print publications, the Reporter has struggled for years as customers move steadily away from print products to the Internet. The paper started a website but had “never quite figured out a way to truly monetize the

whole electronic digital thing,” Christian told The Dallas Morning News (http://dallasne.ws/12k6uON).

Unlike many publications, printing, not advertising, was the primary source of revenue for the nonprofit organization, said publisher Alan Heath.

The Reporter was structured so that a Dallas-based news staff

covered issues pertinent to the denomination, with topics as varied as the history of hymns to church law and homosexuality.

Then individual churches or conferences of churches sent their local information new pastors being named, how much a church function raised to be printed in a newsletter combining the two.

In the paper’s glory days, the mid-1980s, the Reporter employed a staff of 200 and boasted a circulation of about 500,000, according to the Handbook of Texas.

The presses were “always going,” Christian said. “We weren’t quite 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but we were close.”

At its most robust, Heath said, the paper produced about 300 different editions. Today the Reporter prints 45 editions with a staff of 26.

Kat Kaden, media resource manager for First United Methodist Church in downtown Dallas, said her church quit using the Reporter to print its newsletter two years ago.

“We decided to go digital,” she said. “It was just the way we started moving.”

Today, the church only prints a few copies of its online newsletter for homebound members.

Heath said as business dwindled, the Reporter sold assets, such as its building, and cut staff.

“We just couldn’t cut enough expenses from the organization to keep us from basically losing money,” said Heath, who refers to the Reporter as a ministry.

Don’t plan your future around your grown children

Today: 6 p.m.: Mountain Heart Bluegrass 7 p.m.: Bookends 9 p.m.: Spotlight

Dear Annie: I am 73, and my wife is 68. We've been married 36 years, and we are healthy, active churchgoers. My wife had two young children when we married, and our son, "Cal," is now 34. We have helped all three of our kids financially, as well as with babysitting, yard work, etc. And we are frugal, partly so we can leave as much money to the kids as possible. Like many their age, they are busy and financially on the edge despite decent incomes.

Eight years ago, at retirement, we moved across the state to be closer to my stepchildren to help with and be nearer to the grandchildren. They are now three hours away, and although they don't hesitate to call us to babysit, they only visit us once a year on the holidays. Yet, they enjoy their nearby in-laws on a regular basis.

Last year, Cal moved across the country and married. At that time, his half-siblings were heard saying they "don't need us anymore," and in fact, my stepchildren recently suggested we move closer to Cal. While we enjoy Cal and know he would care for us, moving would be a huge expense.

Moving closer to the stepchildren would also incur expense, but the main problem with living closer is that we are less comfortable with them. Their lives are too frenetic.

We also realize that friends and neighbors in our retirement community are more likely to care for one another.

Should we stop being so concerned with what the children need and want and put our priorities first? Do you think we are overly sensitive about them having the in-law families nearby and therefore not needing us?

Should we stop changing our busy schedules when they call to babysit on short notice? — Pa and Ma Dear Pa and Ma: If you want to live near the grandchildren, that is a valid reason to move.

But please do not plan your future around which child you believe will take care of you. You don't really know. Plan as if you had only yourself to rely on.

Everything else is gravy. But if you want to see your step-grandchildren, we don't recommend you turn down babysitting jobs if your health allows you to go. We know the favoritism hurts, but being jealous of the other in-laws serves no purpose.

Dear Annie: Last year, my 92year-old mother came to live with us. It was a huge adjustment, and we have made many changes in our lifestyle and living space.

Mom has been diagnosed with short-term memory loss and mild dementia. She also has some health issues. But she is very sweet and can carry on a coherent conversation.

Recently, some friends spent time with us. The husband insisted that my mother is more aware than my husband and I give her credit for. But he is not here when she forgets to turn the water off, puts aluminum pans in the microwave and cancels her insurance coverage. He wasn't here when she started a fire.

I want to tell everyone who thinks they know more than the caretakers: You don't live in the home with the elderly parent and do not know the whole story. — The Daughter Dear Daughter: Some people feel an overwhelming need to display their "knowledge," even when they are ill-informed. It is not as flattering to them as they may believe.

Dear Annie: As an otolaryngologist, I could not overlook the letter from "Native New Yorker" about a hoarse and gravelly voice.

While "Native" did not ask for advice about the voice, I would like to tell readers who have unexplained hoarseness existing for two weeks or more to have their vocal cords examined by an ENT doctor. The problem may be quite correctable, or it may be a sign of cancer of the larynx. — Illinois Otolaryngologist Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS

‘PLL’ star plays single military mom on ‘Lauren’ NEW YORK (AP) — Troian Bellisario’s two most recent roles have her playing women at very different times in their lives who have reached their breaking point and are trying to move forward.

She plays teen Spencer Hastings on ABC Family’s popular “Pretty Little Liars.” Since her best friend was murdered, Spencer and her three best friends have been taunted, tricked and stalked by a group that goes by the name of “A.” In a recent interview, Bellisario said she was very vocal with the writers and the network about wanting to take her character to a darker place. She got her wish, but has since “kind of backed out of the writers’ room” about what’s coming up.

The 27-year-old actress also plays the title character on the Web series “Lauren” on the WIGS YouTube channel. She’s a single mother in the military who was sexually assaulted by a fellow comrade.

Her role on “Lauren” seemed a little odd at first, she said.

“It was a little bit like, ‘What?

SUDOKU PUZZLE

You want me to do what?’ But the material itself was so incredible. I was like, ‘I don’t really care. I just want to get a chance to do this.’ I would never be able to portray that role in film or television because it’s a bit of a name game. To do this for the Web and to get the attention that it’s gotten, it’s really kind of a blessing in disguise.”

Bellisario said she didn’t realize her character’s situation on “Lauren” isn’t uncommon in real life.

“I walked in two days before we were going to shoot and (costar) Jennifer Beals had done a lot of research. I was like, ‘Give me everything please,’ and she gave me this incredible book called ‘The Lonely Soldier’ and I watched (documentaries) ‘The Invisible War’ and ‘Lioness’ and just absorbed and read and watched YouTube videos. It was overwhelming. I had no idea,” she said.

A report by the Pentagon estimates that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year and that thousands of victims are unwilling to come forward despite new oversight and assistance programs. That figure is an increase over the 19,000 estimated assaults in 2011.

Homer and the skunk: How to clean up the mess?

Dear Heloise: Oh, no! My sweet yellow lab, Homer, chased a skunk, and the skunk won!

Now I am stuck with a stinky dog who can’t come into the house. Please help! Is there a formula I can use to de-skunk him? Thanks for any help you can give me. — Brenda P. in Idaho Ohhhh! This is not good!

Here is the updated way to “deskunk” a skunked dog, from our friends at the Humane Society.

You will need: • 1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide • 1/4 cup baking soda • 1 teaspoon liquid soap (laundry or dishwashing soap)

Hints from Heloise Columnist Before applying the mixture, go outside so that the mess will be easier to clean up. Next, mix the above ingredients and rub it all over your dog. Don’t get the liquid in his ears or eyes. Leave it on for at least five minutes, and then rinse really well.

Hopefully this will do the trick. If there is still an odor,

repeat the above process. Soon Homer will be back in the house, be part of the family again and hopefully won’t chase any more skunks! — Heloise BUTTER WRAPPERS Dear Heloise: To save a little money, after I use a stick of butter, I save the wrappers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

When I need to grease a cookie sheet or casserole dish, I take out a wrapper and use it. I love it, and now even my daughter is doing it. — Ashley R., Roanoke, Va. You’re right — saving a penny here and there can add up! Cooking can be enjoyable and a nice family event. I have

a pamphlet called Heloise’s AllTime Favorite Recipes, with some of the most-often-askedfor Heloise recipes.

Some of those included are: Heloise’s Hot Potato Salad, Heloise’s Fast Shrimp Spread and Heloise’s Mock Apple Pie, and lots of others. To receive a copy, send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To quickly soften butter, place it in the microwave (no foil wrappers) for a couple of seconds on each side, and voilá — softened butter, ready for any recipe. — Heloise

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, June 1, the 152nd day of 2013. There are 213 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 1, 1813, the mortally wounded commander of the USS Chesapeake, Capt. James Lawrence, gave the order, “Don’t give up the ship” during a losing battle with the British frigate HMS Shannon in the War of 1812.

On this date: • In 1533, Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, was crowned as Queen Consort of England.

• In 1862, Confederate Gen.

Robert E. Lee assumed command of the Army of Northern Virginia during the Civil War. • In 1933, in a bizarre scene captured by news photographers, Lya Graf, a female circus dwarf, sat in the lap of financier J.P. Morgan Jr. during a recess of a Senate hearing on the stock market crash of 1929.

• In 1943, a civilian flight from Portugal to England was shot down by the Germans during World War II, killing all 17 people aboard, including actor Leslie Howard.

• In 1967, the Beatles album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was released.

• In 1968, author-lecturer Helen Keller, who earned a college degree despite being blind and deaf almost all of her life, died in Westport, Conn., at age 87.

• In 1980, Cable News Network made its debut.

• Today’s Birthdays: Singer Pat Boone is 79. Actor Morgan Freeman is 76. Actor Brian Cox is 67. Rock musician Ronnie Wood is 66. Actor Jonathan Pryce is 66. Actor Powers Boothe is 65. Country singer Ronnie Dunn is 60. Actor Rick Gomez is 41.

Model-actress Heidi Klum is 40.

Singer Alanis Morissette is 39.

Actress Sarah Wayne Callies is 36.

Coastal homeowners stagger under insurance costs GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) When Stan Virden moved into his 2,400-square-foot house overlooking a rock-lined canal in 1996, he paid less than $1,000 a year for homeowners insurance.

Now, as he seeks to move to Atlanta to be near family, Virden says potential buyers for the house are being scared off by the annual premium, which has skyrocketed to $5,000.

“We feel like we’re prisoners here now because the market is so screwed up because of this,” the 80-year-old retired Navy captain said.

From Cape Cod to the southern tip of Texas, rates for homeowner coverage have risen sharply since 2003, pinching homeowners financially, forcing them to take greater risk by accepting higher deductibles and sparking outrage as insurance companies report profits higher in many coastal states than inland.

Nationwide, the cost of homeowners insurance rose 36 percent from 2003 to 2010 almost double the rate of inflation. Of the 15 states where rates increased by the largest percentages in that time, 14 border the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean, according to an analysis of National Association of Insurance Commissioners figures

by The Associated Press. All those states saw rates go up at least 44 percent. Rates in Florida rose 91 percent, most in the nation, while rates in Rhode Island went up 62 percent.

Insurers say the increases are necessary to offset the risk they take in insuring millions of homeowners in harm’s way, but their

In this Monday photo, Nancy Loft Powers poses with a sign she made in front of her home in Deerfield Beach, Fla. Powers had to sell other properties she owned because she could no longer afford the insurance. From Cape Cod to Texas, rates for coverage against tropical storms have risen sharply since 2003, financially pinching homeowners and sparking outrage as insurance companies report profits that are higher in many coastal areas than inland for homeowners insurance. increasingly angry customers question how they calculate rates and whether state officials in charge of balancing public and corporate interest are being too favorable toward the companies.

“It’s hard to see how the insurance companies can justify the kind of premiums we have to pay down here,” Virden said.

Rate increases have leveled off in recent years, and some homeowners have even found cheaper policies. But it’s clear prices

aren’t going back to where they were before the spike following the expensive hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005.

Overall, coastal homeowners in 18 states along the Gulf and Atlantic pay about $4 billion more than inland residents for insurance against hurricane winds, according to AP calculations using comparisons of coastal and inland rates in states where they’re available.

The Atlantic hurricane season

officially starts Saturday and runs through Nov. 30.

Forecasters project 13 to 20 named storms.

Worsening the situation: premiums for the federally run National Flood Insurance Program whose policies many coastal homeowners also must buy are scheduled to shoot up Oct. 1. A homeowners policy typically covers wind, but not flood damage.

in a slow revival, it may be too early to say what the skyrocketing insurance rates could do.

Some real estate agents in coastal areas say there are warning signs.

Starke Irvine, an agent in Daphne, Ala., said the cost of insurance is driving down the market value of homes there.

Homebuyers have only so much to pay toward a mortgage, insurance and taxes.

Some critics also say insurers are inflating the insured value of houses, saying they would cost more to rebuild, thus raising the total bill each year without raising rates.

“We’ve had insurers applying a 10 percent to 12 percent inflation factor every year to dwelling value,” said Willo Kelly, who lobbies for real estate agents and homebuilders on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. “Every increase that company applies to dwelling value is an increase in the premium, an increase in the deductible and an increase in the agent’s commission.”

A study by consulting group Towers Watson showed the cost of the goods and services insurers typically buy to pay a homeowners claim has actually declined from 2009 to 2012. That reflects falling building costs, said Towers Watson risk consultant Jeremy Pecora.

It’s still unclear how the $19 billion in privately insured damages caused by Superstorm Sandy in October 2012 will hit policyholders. In the Northeast, insurers started seeking higher rates after Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 and continue to seek increases of up to 10 percent.

Tornado hits Oklahoma City area in Plains outbreak OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Tornadoes rolled in from the prairie and slammed Oklahoma City and its suburbs on Friday, crumbling cars and tractor-trailers along a major interstate and leading to numerous injuries.

The broad storm hit during the evening rush hour, causing havoc on Interstate 40, a major artery connecting suburbs east and west of the city. To the south, winds approaching 80 mph were

forecast for Moore, where a top-of-the-scale EF5 tornado killed 24 on May 20.

Floodwaters collected in streets. Troopers requested a number of ambulances at I-40 near Yukon, west of Oklahoma City.

“I’m in a car running from the tornado,” said Amy Sharp, who last week pulled her fourth-grade daughter from the Plaza Towers Elementary School as a storm approached with 210 mph winds.

PIQUA, 2020 Indian Ridge Drive (Across from Grace Church), Thursday, Friday & Saturday, 9-? HUGE Multi Family! Little bit of everything!

How Washington investigates itself WASHINGTON (AP) — Most of what Americans know about their government’s crimes, misdeeds and foul-ups comes from the government itself.

Washington’s investigation machine never quits.

Thousands of federal workers spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year checking up on their peers.

And Congress is watching, too. The probes that go public what happened at the Internal Revenue Service, or in Benghazi, Libya, or with the seizure of journalists’ phone and email records are just a sampling.

Is this gotcha gallery trustworthy? Are investigators running amok, or toadying to the powers they’re supposed to check? Or just treading water in a turbulent sea of some 2.1 million government workers?

Opinions are as different as the investigations, and tend to be skewed by politics.

There are, however, points to judge an investigation by: how its leaders are chosen, how much independence they have, whether they have the resources and the authority they need and whether they display the will to follow a question to its end.

A guide to Washington’s scandal-hunting apparatus: INSPECTORS GENERAL They mostly do routine reviews that don’t much interest the public or the media. But they also investigate things like: IRS targeting of tea party groups.

The Justice Department’s “Fast and Furious” gun-trafficking operation.

An over-the-top Las Vegas conference that led to the resignation of the General Services Administration chief.

NFL quarterback Michael Vick’s dog-fighting ring.

Federal law calls for 73 inspectors general to watch over the work of Cabinet departments, agencies and commissions. About 14,000 auditors, analysts, lawyers and other staff, including armed criminal investigators, make up the IG force.

What do they do?

They investigate crimes such as fraud and bribery by federal workers, contractors and people who abuse the government’s services.

They call out mismanagement and wasteful spending and recommend better ways to do the public’s business. They get tips from whistle-blowers and cases referred by Congress.

Who chooses the inspectors general?

Most are nominated by the president, with Senate confirmation. A few are appointed by agency leaders. By law, Congress get 30

days’ notice before an IG can be fired. Lawmakers complained that President Barack Obama didn’t give notice or an adequate reason when he abruptly fired the AmeriCorps inspector general in 2009.

Pros: IGs report to Congress as well as their agency chief, and their independence is protected by law.

Cons: They are chosen by the administration they will investigate. A president can pick a weak investigator or leave a post The State unfilled.

Department slot has been empty for five years, sparking complaints that an office run by a temporary fill-in is less powerful and autonomous.

Government expert Paul Light of New York University says the quality of inspectors general varies greatly. “Some of them are very aggressive,” he said, “and some are very timid.”

Even the hard-chargers tend to stay in the background. That leaves it to lawmakers or the media to spread the word about IG reports, which Light describes as “mind-numbingly difficult to read” and “sleep inducing.”

SPECIAL COUNSELS They’re like superstar IGs. Unleashing a special counsel automatically pushes a controversy to potential scandal level.

Under Justice Department rules, special counsels are called in to handle potential criminal cases that pose a conflict of interest for the department. They are appointed by the attorney general, who can turn to an outside lawyer or pluck someone from within the department.

The most famous special prosecutor probe: Watergate.

A recent example: Patrick Fitzgerald, then a U.S. attorney in Illinois, investigated George W. Bush administration officials in connection with the leak of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame’s identity.

What about Kenneth Starr?

Starr wasn’t a special counsel he was a more powerful “independent counsel” appointed by a panel of three federal judges.

Congress created that post after the shock of Watergate, when President Richard Nixon ordered the firing of special prosecutor Archibald Cox in what became known as the “Saturday Night Massacre.”

Congress allowed the independent counsel law to expire in 1999; the special counsel rules took its place.

Independent counsels had come to be seen as outof-control. Democrats were

embittered by the five-year, $70 million investigation, primarily run by Starr, that stretched from President Bill Clinton’s Whitewater land deal through his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and its cover-up.

Republicans felt burned by an earlier independent counsel, Lawrence Walsh, who spent six years and $47 million investigating the Reagan administration’s secret Iran-Contra operations.

“It was a great mistake to create a power to prosecute without any accountability,” said Lanny Davis, an adviser in the Clinton White House who now specializes in managing political crises. “You don’t want the attorney general investigating himself. But you want accountability within the executive branch.”

A special prosecutor, on the other hand, has wide latitude and can only be fired for “good cause.”

That’s unlikely firing a special counsel would risk touching off a political storm. The attorney general also holds sway over a special counsel’s budget and jurisdiction.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and a few other Republicans have said a special prosecutor is needed to probe the IRS and the Justice Department’s leaks investigations. Attorney General Eric Holder has shown no interest in appointing one.

CONGRESS No mystery here. If you’ve heard of a government probe, Congress probably had a hand in it.

Lawmakers relish their oversight duties and promote their investigations.

The big ones often merit creation of special or select committees and sometimes go on for years.

Some historic probes: Hearings on the 2008 financial crisis.

Iran-Contra hearings.

Church Committee probe of domestic spying and abuses by the CIA and FBI. Senate Watergate Committee.

In addition to the IRS, Benghazi and AP phone records, lawmakers lately have been looking into why Apple Inc. doesn’t pay more U.S. taxes, sexual assaults within the military, and the Boston Marathon bombing.

Pros: As a constitutional check on the executive branch, lawmakers wield tremendous power to investigate what they please.

They hire expert staff to do the legwork and subpoena witnesses to testify. They also command nearly 3,000 employees at the Government Accountability Office, which audits and analyzes government oper-

ations. A congressional hearing done right can rivet the nation’s attention.

Cons: When investigations come across as politically motivated attacks, their influence is diminished. Likewise, lawmakers may go too easy on a president from their own party.

It’s easy to sling reckless charges, even at small fry who get swept into a hearing and besmirched.

THE BLUE RIBBONS The big ones helped Americans ease calamity into history. They include: 9/11 Commission on the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Rogers Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

Warren Commission on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Roberts Commission on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Lots of blue-ribbon-style commissions are flops, however, too weak or too partisan to command attention or created mostly for show.

Sometimes presidents attempt to head off a more damaging investigation by creating a quick and relatively sympathetic panel, such as Ronald Reagan's Tower Commission on the Iran-Contra scandal, said political scientist Kenneth Kitts, author of "Presidential Commissions & National Security: The Politics of Damage Control."

"You have to know who is picking these panel members," he said. "In many cases, if you know who is serving, you can predict how they're going to come out on an issue."

And independent panels set up at lower levels of government, such as the State Department's commission on the Benghazi attacks, will carry less weight.

At their best, the panels assembled by a president or Congress or both are the ultimate investigations — nonpartisan, with the stature and authority to chase down the truth and inspire reform.

Sometimes they're messy. Light, who analyzed the impact of 100 national commissions for an upcoming book, points to the 1981 Greenspan Commission on saving Social Security as an example of success forged through bitter concessions and painful negotiation.

In the end, the type of investigation matters less than the people who carry it out.

"What I tend to see in the ones that work is good leadership and political will," Light said, "and just plain guts."

Reds blank Pirates Cueto flawless in 6-0 victory PITTSBURGH (AP) — Johnny Cueto allowed one hit over eight dominant innings and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-0 on Friday night.

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Getting to state once is never enough.

A slew of Troy boy and girl relay runners, as well as Tippecanoe’s Sam Wharton and Grant Koch, made sure they’d be returning to the biggest stage on a dismal and wet Friday night at Welcome Stadium, with a couple of first-timers joining them this time around.

The busiest group easily was the Trojan girls relay teams. The 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 teams all three qualified for state.

Woods falters on Day Two DUBLIN (AP) — Bill Haas played the best golf in the toughest conditions Friday in the rain-delayed Memorial.

When the second round was suspended as dark clouds rolled in and forced the third stoppage in play, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy were close to each other on the leaderboard, even if they were miles away from Haas, who had a 5-under 67.

That didn’t bode well for Woods, the five-time Memorial winner who had a most peculiar round in wind and on fast greens.

He three-putted from 5 feet for double bogey on the par-5 15th, chopped up the final hole for a bogey and wound up with a 74.

“Tough conditions out there, and I didn’t exactly play my best, either,” said Woods, who had his worst 36-hole total (145) at the Memorial since he first played it in 1997.

McIlroy was in danger of missing the cut until he fired off five birdies, looking more comfortable with his putts and attacking with his driver. He was 4 under for his round and one shot inside the cut line and one shot behind Woods. McIlroy was in a greenside bunker in two shots at the par-5 15th when play was stopped.

“The major goal today was to try to make it into

season, they both played singles behind Brumbaugh, teaming up once more for the postseason and going on an impressive run.

“Having all three of them make it this far is pretty nice,” MiltonUnion coach Roger Davidson said.

This time, Cueto hardly needed the bullpen at all. Keeping the Pirates off-balance with a steady mix of fastballs and sliders, Cueto kept one of baseball’s hottest teams in check.

The Pirates managed to get just three balls out of the infield all night, and Inge’s single in the fifth was a harmless onehop single in front of leftfielder Derrick Robinson.

The momentum lasted all of one pitch, when Clint Barmes hit into an double inning-ending play.

entirety of any semblance of a rally by the Pirates, who received another quality start from Rodriguez but couldn’t finish off their first 20-win month in 21 years.

Rodriguez wasn’t quite as sharp as Cueto but was helped early on by a series of long fly balls hit to the deepest parts of PNC Park. The Reds hit four balls to the warning track before Bruce stepped in with one out in the fourth.

Bruce has struggled against Rodriguez throughout his career entering the night just 2 for 32 (.063) against the veteran lefthander. Those numbers inched up when he took a 2-0 fastball and sent it into the first row of seats in right center for his eighth homer of the year.

■ Track and Field

Division I

Troy sophomore Gracie Huffman advanced as an individual in the 400. She was also on all three relay teams that earned trips to state.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Troy entered the night with one of the two slowest qualifying times and running in lane eight.

That didn’t phase Sharice Hibbler, Byrd, Norris and Huffman, though, as they made up ground and finished fourth (49.34 seconds) to advance.

“I didn’t think we had a chance in the 4x100,” Byrd said. “It feels great.”

Huffman added a solo event to her collection, finishing second in the 400 (57.37 seconds).

Rector — who placed in the event at state last year — was seventh (59.82 seconds) and did not advance. Catelyn Schmiedebusch — another member of the state 4x200 team last year — missed out on qualifying in the 300 hurdles, as well, finishing fifth (46.57 seconds).

They more than made up for it in the 4x400, though. The Trojans finished second, just off their school record time from Wednesday’s prelims.

“It feels good,” Rector said. “It’s a little sour, placing at state in the 400 last year and not making it back. But it feels good (to go in relay races instead of individual ones). You don’t have that intimidation factor or as much pressure. In an individual race, it’s all about you. There’s still pressure in relays, but it’s a different atmosphere.

Everything affects you all the same way.”

“It feels a lot better this year (to go to state in multiple races,” Huffman, a sophomore, said. “But the majority of my teammates are seniors, so I’m just taking it all in this year. I’m definitely going to miss running with them next year. We had a blast at state last year, and I know we’re going to have a blast this year.”

“We told the girls that they’re fast enough (in the 4x100), they just have to have perfect handoffs.

And that’s what they did,” Troy girls coach Kurt Snyder said. “I don’t think any Troy girls team has taken multiple relay teams to state before, and that was one of our goals this year. To make it in three races?

That’s unheard of. That just shows the versatility and dedication that these girls have.”

With all three relay races and the 400, Huffman will be competing in four events. Norris still has a chance to match that — she still will compete in the rained-out long jump, which was postponed until 1 p.m. today.

“I was talking with coaches (Herb) Hartman and Bob (Campbell), who have been around Troy track a long time, and they don’t think any Troy girl has gone to state in four events,” Snyder said.

“For Gracie to be able run a four-event stretch on a rainy night like this, and to be able to run fast enough in all four to get to state, that’s impressive. And Todda’s got a chance to do the same thing in the long jump.”

Broncos’ Manning puts neck issues to rest ENGLEWOOD, Colo.

(AP) — Zip. Everyone around Peyton Manning, including the quarterback himself, says he has more of it this year.

He’s running a faster offense with Adam Gase in charge. He’s getting the ball into his receivers’ hands quicker. And his passes, especially according to those red-handed receivers on the other end, definitely have more

oomph.

As he enters his second season in Denver, Manning is another year removed from the neck problems that plagued him in 2011 and he’s much more comfortable in his surroundings, even if he still gets lost driving around town.

“We worked out at Duke in March or April and I definitely felt like he had more zip on the ball,” receiver Eric Decker said. “I think

he’s come back stronger.”

Manning wasn’t exactly a 98-pound weakling in 2012.

He did, after all, throw for 4,600 yards and 37 touchdowns to go with just 11 interceptions, and he was well on his way to a fifth MVP award before Adrian Peterson kicked it into high gear over the final month of the season.

But his passes leave a little bit more sting this

spring.

“Last year we’ve talked about it a lot but he was going through a lot,” tight end Jacob Tamme said.

“Not only a new team, but just with his body and his rehab. He’s still working on that. But you can tell he feels a little bit better.”

The Broncos have added bulk to their line in 335pound guard Louis Vasquez and beef to their backfield in 217-pound bruiser

Montee Ball at running back. But Manning, too, is hardier than he was a year ago when he was shaking off the rust from missing his final season in Indianapolis with a neck problem that weakened his throwing arm.

Manning is known as a monster in the weight room, and he took that attitude into his rehab last year and that approach into his offseason this year.

“With the program that we’ve got, it’s unbelievable the amount of muscle mass and endurance that guys have and the cut-down of injuries that we had last year,” Decker said. “I think that’s a compliment to the strength and conditioning staff here and I think Peyton is one of those that took advantage of it and really got himself in good shape and is stronger and healthier this year.”

Making himself heard

Heat going to Indy for Game 6

After win, Nadal calls French schedule ‘not fair’ PARIS (AP) — Rafael Nadal wanted to get a few things off his chest.

Not about the quality of his play Friday, which fell below his usual standards at Roland Garros for the second match in a row, he dropped a lethargic opening set before winning.

What really bothered the usually affable Nadal was the way the French Open’s scheduling decisions, and the weather, combined to force him to now play on consecutive days, while his third-round opponent Saturday, Italy’s Fabio Fognini, was “watching the TV in the locker room” on Friday.

“That’s not fair,” Nadal said, his arms crossed, his voice stern.

“This is not right,” the seven-time champion in Paris said moments later, shaking his head and arching his left eyebrow.

What flustered Nadal, basically, was that his 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Martin Klizan of Slovakia was supposed to be played Thursday but wound up being postponed because of rain in part because it was the third match slated for its court.

The 27th-seeded Fognini’s second-round victory win over Lukas Rosol, meanwhile, was No. 2 on its court and finished Thursday. Nadal’s point: When there’s rain in the forecast, everything possible should be done to ensure that two matches whose winners will face each other next should be completed on the same day.

Nadal also didn’t like that while Fognini-Rosol followed one women’s match which, because they are best-of-three-sets, tend to be shorter than the men’s best-of-five on Thursday’s program, Nadal-Klizan followed both a men’s match and a women’s match. His match should have taken priority on a day when showers made rescheduling likely, Nadal argued, because if women “have to play two days in a row, (it) is not a big deal.”

Ana Ivanovic, the 2008 French Open women’s champion, sided with Nadal on that point, saying men should “get more time to recover.”

“Especially now, when he has to play day after day, I think he’s right. They should play early,” Ivanovic said after reaching the fourth round with a 6-3, 6-2 win against Virginie Razzano, the Frenchwoman who stunned Serena Williams in the first round

Rafael Nadal returns against Martin Klizan in their second round match at the French Open tennis tournament at Roland Garros stadium Friday in Paris. last year.

Another complaint from Nadal: He said he was told by tournament officials they wanted to make sure Rosol got on court Thursday because, unlike Nadal, he also was in men’s doubles.

“I am sorry, but that’s a joke,” Nadal said. “Why do you want to protect the player who has to play doubles? So I’m going to (sign up for) the doubles draw then, and I have the priority to play?”

A request for comment from tournament referee Stefan Fransson was declined by French tennis federation spokesman Christophe Proust, who said: “The federation does not want to respond. We don’t want to get drawn into a controversy. It’s not the first time that the scheduling has been criti-

cized.”

Now Nadal will need to win six matches over 10 days if he’s going to be the first man to collect eight trophies at one Grand Slam tournament.

“Well, if I can win (Saturday), I’ll have a day off, and that should be enough,” the Spaniard said.

“I don’t think that will be a problem.”

Once he got on a roll at his news conference, Nadal responded to a question about the men’s tour calendar by bemoaning that there are too many tournaments players are required to enter. He also wished aloud that the ranking system were based on two years’ worth of results instead of one, something he lobbied unsuccessfully for when he was a vice president of the ATP Player Council.

All in all, the 11-time major champion’s laments were the most interesting development on a day bereft of on-court drama for the top players aside, perhaps, from that one-set stumble of his against the 35th-ranked Klizan.

Williams, seeking her first French Open title since 2002, extended her career-best winning streak to 27 matches by defeating Sorana Cirstea 6-0, 6-2 and has lost only six games through three rounds.

Defending champion Maria Sharapova needed all of 15 minutes to finish off her straight-set win over Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard in a rain-suspended second-round match. Two other past champions advanced: 2009’s Svetlana Kuznetsova and 2010’s Francesca Schiavone.

LeBron, Miami looking for clincher MIAMI (AP) — Standing on the cusp of the NBA Finals has tended to agree with the Miami Heat in each of the last two seasons.

When the Heat have gotten a game away from the title round, they’ve finished the task as quickly as possible.

And here they are again.

A third straight Eastern Conference title is now just one win away for the reigning champions, though if the way this series has gone so far is an accurate indicator, that win will hardly come easily. The Heat will visit the Indiana Pacers tonight, leading the bestof-seven East finals 3-2 and in position to close out their new rivals on their own floor for the second straight season.

“We’re desperate, too,” Heat forward and fourtime NBA MVP LeBron James said on Friday.

“We’re desperate to get back to the NBA Finals.

So both teams are desperate in their own sense of they’re trying to keep their season alive and we’re trying to advance.”

The teams have alternated wins and losses through the first five games, and if that trend holds, then it’s the Pacers’ turn to prevail today and send the series back to Miami for a winner-goes-to-the-finals Game 7 on Monday night.

If the Heat who have won each of their last six potential series-closeout games, including two in the 2011 and 2012 East finals win, then the championship round against the San Antonio Spurs will begin in Miami on Thursday.

“You can’t start thinking about opening up the invitation,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

“That’s over there. You can’t even think about that.”

The Pacers saw their season end a year ago on their home floor, at Miami’s hand, in Game 6 of a second-round series.

So Indiana’s biggest source of motivation on Saturday may be the desire to avoid the indignity of watching Miami advance in Indianapolis for a second straight season.

“Game 6 will really determine how much we’ve grown, because

So we’ll see where we’re at. We’ve done well all year, especially in the postseason, dealing with adversity and overcoming games where we didn’t play as well as we wanted.”

The shirts in Indiana say “Gold Swagger” for a reason. Even down 3-2 against a team that hasn’t lost back-to-back games since early January, the Pacers still have plenty of confidence, and it starts with a coach who came into the series insisting his club had genuine belief that it could knock off the champions.

“It’s not just false talk,” Indiana coach Frank Vogel said.

“There’s a reason I’m confident. I like to tell these guys that I’m not an optimist. That’s what my image is. I’m a realist.

And when I look around at what I see in the room when I’m talking to this team, and what I see on the court, and the level of execution that we’re capable of … it gives me real confidence in this basketball team. Our guys understand it’s not just happy talk.”

Adjustments will be made by both sides before today, of course. But at this point, it’s more than likely that the sides are out of ways to tactically surprise one another.

Ohio State trustees: More gaffes may mean dismissal COLUMBUS (AP) — The president of Ohio State University could be fired for any more verbal gaffes, trustees told him in a letter that said his mockery of Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and the Southeastern Conference have embarrassed and divided the university and run the risk of diminishing the effectiveness of its efforts.

Trustees warned Gordon Gee that comments or actions he makes detracting from Ohio State’s core values are not productive and are unacceptable, according to a copy of the March 11

letter obtained Friday by The Associated Press.

“Although none of us expects this to be the case, should future instances take place, they could constitute cause for even more punitive action, including dismissal, and the board will have no choice but to take such action,” the letter said.

An AP report this week revealed remarks Gee made to the university’s Athletic Council in December, saying that Notre Dame wasn’t allowed to join the Big Ten because its leaders were not good partners. He said its Roman Catholic priests

were “holy hell” on days other than Sunday and joked “those damn Catholics” can’t be trusted.

He also questioned the academic integrity of schools in the SEC, singling out the University of Kentucky.

Gee apologized in a statement Thursday, again on Twitter on Thursday night, and in a campuswide email sent Friday.

“I am deeply sorry for the discomfort I caused, which was wholly unintentional, to members of the Athletic Council and others present in the room at the time of my comments,” Gee’s email

said. “More broadly, I want to apologize to all who were offended by my remarks, to the University community, and to our entire Ohio State family.”

Gee will get another chance to get his message across June 8 when he gives the commencement address at St. Frances DeSales High School in Columbus, a Roman Catholic school.

In their March letter, the trustees laid out steps Gee must take including issuing personal apologies, getting help from professionals to revisit his personal communications and speechwriting processes, and rethinking

what speaking engagements he accepts.

Trustees told Gee that his attempts “to bring a bit of levity” to significant issues have had the opposite effect at times.

“As a result, instead of your words promoting and uniting us, they have sometimes embarrassed and divided us,” said board Chairman Robert Schottenstein and Trustee Alex Shumate, who led the search committee that hired Gee in 2007, in the threepage letter obtained through a public records request.

“Such comments are not

befitting a great university like Ohio State or its leadership,” the letter continued.

It added: “Although we do not believe that you intended harm, such comments risk diminishing the effectiveness of our collective efforts and of your good work.”

The letter said Gee is making progress on the board’s list of requirements.

“Your willingness to seek guidance and counsel on multiple levels, from a variety of sources, on how to adapt and grow is a hallmark of your leadership style and one that we value highly,” the letter said.

Hamlin Wins Pole Denny Hamlin turned a lap of 157.978 mph to win the pole at Dover International Speedway.

Hamlin followed up his pole last week at Charlotte Motor Speedway with the top speed on Friday and his 15th career pole.

Martin Truex Jr., who won his only career Cup race at Dover, joins Hamlin on the front row. Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman round out the top five.

Points leader Jimmie Johnson starts 24th.

Hamlin showed he continues to be on the mend after being sidelined for four races with a compression fracture in his lower spine following a March 24 crash involving former teammate Joey Logano.

Johnson surveys devastation

Simple Explanation Denis McGlynn had a simple explanation why an appeals panel sided with Joe Gibbs Racing and eased penalties levied against the organization by NASCAR: The harsh punishment simply did not fit the small infraction.

McGlynn, CEO of Dover International Speedway, was part of a three-person National Stock Car Racing Appeals Panel that significantly reduced NASCAR’s punishment of JGR for having an illegal part in Matt Kenseth’s race-winning engine at Kansas.

“The penalty was so severe for what was, in our opinion, a minor infraction,” McGlynn said Thursday.

McGlynn said the panel entered the appeal “thinking with more flexibility” because penalties against Penske Racing had been reduced a week earlier by chief appellate officer John Middlebrook.

Backstage Pass The TNT portion of the NASCAR television schedule begins next week at Pocono and the network will attempt to give fans a backstage pass during its six-race run.

TNT will showcase one driver per week in an “All Access” segment during its pre-race coverage. First up will be Denny Hamlin, who will be followed by the network from the time Sunday’s race at Dover concludes all the way through next Friday’s qualifying at Pocono.

TNT will follow Hamlin and his Joe Gibbs Racing team through their weekly preparations.

Danica Patrick, right, talks with Jeff Gordon during qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race, Friday at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del.

Couple makes up Patrick, Stenhouse Jr. OK after bump LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Danica Patrick left the first racing rough patch with boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on the track.

At home, the relationship is still smooth sailing.

Patrick and Stenhouse escaped for some relaxation on a boat after their first dust-up on the track since the NASCAR rookies announced in January they were dating.

NASCAR’s power couple rubbed each other the wrong way during Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 after Stenhouse drove his car into the side of Patrick’s car and effectively ended her race.

There was no escaping the relationship doghouse for Stenhouse the two shared a ride home.

“You don’t not talk about it because you’re riding home together,” Patrick said Wednesday. “There’s a few silent moments for sure, many moments. I was upset. I wasn’t necessarily strictly just upset at him. He was there three wide as part of the issue.”

Patrick was racing in the middle of the three-wide pack when she was hit by Stenhouse and collided with Brad Keselowski. Patrick’s No. 10 Chevrolet suffered serious damage and she finished 29th, her sixth straight result of 25th or worse in her first full season in Sprint Cup. “I’ve always given him a lot of room and he’s done the same for me,” Patrick said. “It was just one of those situations where we’re on a restart and we’re all trying to dig for what

we can.”

Unlike her dinged-up car, the two were quickly on the mend.

“We’ll be fine. We’re fine,” she said. “We had a lovely day on the boat, on the lake, got a sun tan.”

Sounds like fun. At least, more fun than a weekend at the track, where Patrick is off to a rocky start as a Cup regular. She swept the sport and herself into the national spotlight when she won the pole for the season-opening Daytona 500 and finished a solid eighth. But Patrick finished 39th the following race in Phoenix and has no finished no better than 12th in any race outside of Daytona.

Patrick, 30th in the points standings, is not the only member of Stewart-Haas Racing in a slump.

Ryan Newman is 16th and Tony Stewart 20th, one reason why SHR came to test Wednesday at Pocono Raceway. Richard Childress Racing drivers Jeff Burton, Paul Menard and Kevin Harvick, who won at Charlotte Motor Speedway, also tested at Pocono.

Newman finished sixth Sunday, Stewart was seventh and Patrick was pleased with her run before the crash, making it a solid night for the team.

“It doesn’t make you feel like it’s turned around,” Stewart said. “It’s a step in the process. I don’t know you can say just one weekend automatically turns a season around. That’s why we’re here today. We have a lot of work to do. It’s a sign of progress.”

Patrick said testing was useful because the 2-mile triangle track was the last one she hadn’t raced on since making the shift from IndyCar to NASCAR. The series runs this weekend at Dover International Speedway before heading to Pocono next weekend. There’s a second Cup race Aug. 4.

Patrick has a long way to go before she’s truly comfortable at Pocono or just about any other track on the circuit, for now. Patrick has a pair of tracks on the horizon that have been kind to her when she hits Daytona and Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July. Patrick scored six top-10 finishes, including third place in 2009, in seven Indianapolis 500s.

Yes, it’s a different series, but a comfortable track could lead to a more confident Patrick.

Not that she’s showing any nerves in the garage.

“We haven’t had to do a lot of coaching with her,” Stewart said.

“Her input is as good as ours right out of the box. That’s the one thing we noticed the first weekend we took her (testing) last year. Her feedback is so strong.”

It was needed at Pocono. Newman credited a recent test at Dover for the solid outing at Charlotte.

Perhaps Charlotte and the Pocono test can help fix all that ails SHR. “There’s a lot of things to be really excited about,” Stewart said. “I hope four weeks from now, we can come back here and say, ‘Yes, we have the answers.’”

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson was simply heartbroken. He saw the damaged neighborhoods, destroyed homes, fallen trees and tons of debris in tornado-ravaged Oklahoma.

It was the stuffed animals that really choked up the five-time Sprint Cup champion.

“There’s a kid involved.

Kids lived here and families and people, and it kind of brings a human element in,” Johnson said. “You start jockeying back and forth in your mind at just the amazement of these big items. You can’t imagine them blowing around like they’re scraps, to the human element of a stuffed animal.”

Johnson spent Thursday in Moore, Okla., to help distribute supplies to victims of the May 20 tornado that killed 24 people, including 10 children. He was accompanied by his wife, Chani, a native of Muskogee. The visit was in conjunction with Johnson’s sponsor, Lowe’s, and the Feed the Children initiative.

“I met a child who was in one of those schools and I could still see on his face and in his eyes the fear that he had and he still looked like that today,” Johnson said Friday at Dover International Speedway. “It really hits you deep to meet the people, see the damage and, in some ways, kind of imagine in your mind what they went through.”

Johnson, who leads the Cup standings, filmed a public service announcement for a benefit concert hosted by country star Blake Shelton. He also reached out to Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops about finding other ways to help. Johnson donated his All-Star race winnings about $1 million to relief efforts.

Johnson’s foundation each year also donates to school projects in Oklahoma, along with California and Charlotte, N.C., where he currently lives. He expected the foundation to assist in this case, possibly to help build more storm shelters.

NASCAR President Mike Helton, team owner Rick Hendrick and Sooners football players joined the Johnsons in passing out supplies and food at a Lowe’s in Moore.

“Everyone we met was so thankful for the support and talked about how many supplies have been brought in and how many people have come from other states and just showed-up and put food and drink on the street corners in different areas,” he said.

Kyle Busch kicks off weekend with Trucks victory DOVER, Del. (AP) — Kyle Busch broke out the broom in Victory Lane the first time he swept a NASCAR weekend.

He might want to keep one handy at Dover.

Busch pulled away in the final laps to win the NASCAR Truck Series race Friday at Dover International Speedway.

He’s attempting this weekend to win a NASCAR tripleheader. Busch also is entered in Saturday’s Nationwide Series race and

Sunday’s Sprint Cup race.

“I’m the only one dumb enough to try,” he said. “I think we can.”

With good reason. Busch has been fantastic at Dover, with three career Nationwide wins and two more in Cup. He won two races on the mile concrete track in 2010 in Dover.

Busch has romped this season in Nationwide with six wins in nine races. He has two Cup victories.

Busch took a bow with the checkered flag on the

mile concrete track. He’s second in series history with 32 career victories.

“It’s fun to win,” Busch said. “Yeah, people will say it’s too easy and we’re cherry picking. Whatever. This is a sport we’re all welcome to participate in. That’s why we’re here.”

He led the final 32 laps and 50 overall in the 200lap race.

“Late in the going, I felt like I found something a little bit by running up the race track,” Busch said.

Matt Crafton, the points leader, was second and Ryan Blaney third. Chase Elliott and Brendan Gaughan rounded out the top five.

“We showed our strength on the long runs, but Kyle just had the speed on the long run,” Crafton said.

At 19 years old, Darrell Wallace became the youngest pole winner in series history and finished 10th.

Wallace had the truck to

beat early, leading the first 119 laps from the pole. But he never led again and failed in his bid to become the first black driver to win a NASCAR race since Wendell Scott in 1963.

Wallace is only the fourth black driver with a fulltime ride in a NASCAR series.

“I was just trying to hang on,” at the end, Wallace said. “We were that close. It just shows again how much closer we are and how good our team is.”
