Cloudy skies, sunny outlook Festival goes on despite weather BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com
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.” See Valley,

TROY Fletcher United Methodist Church Pastor Andy Perry said he and his fellow congregation members prayed the rain would be kept at bay for their chocolate-covered strawberry sales. Perry said congregation members had hand-dipped more than 25,000 strawberries Friday in preparation for the church’s first year at the festival with the sweet strawberry sales. “We are hopefully optimistic that we will be sold out by the end of the day,” Perry said as he passed containers of the whiteand chocolate-dipped berries to customers.

Fans flock as parade returns BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com For the Sanger family, the only place to watch the annual Troy Strawberry Festival Parade is front and center of the Troy Public Square, with the pink fountain behind them. The Strawberry Festival Parade made a triumphant return to the city streets Saturday morning after the
TROY hometown tradition took a year off in 2012 due to the Adams Street Bridge closing. For Daryl and Sharon Sanger of New Carlisle, it’s a tradition that has spanned 15 years and a fun way for them to treat their grandchildren to doughnuts and chocolate milk in the early morning hours in order to stake a claim at “their” spot. “We make sure we get here every year,” Sharon said. The grandparents said they’ve sat in the same spot for 15 years and never missed the festival parade until last year. The Sangers set up their chairs at 7:30 a.m., well before the first float hit the street at 9 a.m. “It’s one of the best and the longest parades around — we love it,” • See PARADE on 2

Speaking of an optimistic forecast, the Troy Noon Optimists organization was confident the rain and storms would be kept at bay as they sold their strawberry barbecue sauce and strawberry butter on the Great Miami River levee. Stan Phillips said sales of their strawberry barbecue sauce and jars of butter were steady as the crowds were undeterred by the cloudy weather Saturday afternoon. “So far the weather hasn’t impacted us,” Phillips said. Bottles of the strawberry sauce were on display for $5 apiece as visitors stopped by the Troy Noon Optimists for a sweet strawberry sample at the tent. Phillips said the organization had more than $10,000 in sales last year and hoped to raise more funds this year. The money raised by the sales at the festival goes to Troy High School scholarships, youth activities, Troy’s Halloween parade and the WACO kite fly-in and speaking contests, Phillips said.

IRS case gets tea party steamed up CINCINNATI (AP) — While it’s clear that Ohio tea party activists are fired up over recent disclosures that the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups, what that will mean to politics in the pivotal swing state is still a little hazy. The investigation into IRS actions has given people opposed to big government and high taxes a rallying focus in recent weeks. The case has extra significance in Ohio because the key IRS office involved is in Cincinnati, and organizations such as the Ohio Liberty Coalition, Dayton tea party and several other state tea party groups and activists are among those who complained about being subjected to burdensome extra scrutiny in their efforts to gain tax-exempt status. “The (Barack) Obama administration should have let sleeping dogs lie,” said George Brunemann, a Cincinnati tea party leader who helped organize a town hall-style forum Wednesday night that brought out hundreds of activists and had an online audience. “They have given people a new reason to be engaged. They were using the IRS as a hammer
against us, and they got caught.” The White House has said none of its senior officials was involved in the targeting, which came during 2010-12. After helping Republicans win big in Ohio in 2010, including the governorship, the tea party saw a Democratic president carry their state in 2012 while GOP Treasurer Josh Mandel fell to Democrat Sherrod Brown in the U.S. Senate race. “Disappointment can lead to a decline in activity; this happens to a lot of groups,” said University of Akron political scientist John C. Green. The IRS case has led to “a revival,” Green said, but he added there had already been renewed activity in Ohio by tea party leaders over other issues aimed
at state Republican leaders. Some tea party leaders and other activists are unhappy about GOP Gov. John Kasich’s support for expansion of Medicaid coverage and a severance tax on the oil and gas industry. They are also upset over Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman’s change of heart for same-sex marriage.

“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 Detroit Free Press on redefining the war on terror: In an address remarkable for both its candor and its humility, President Barack Obama sought Thursday to limit the scope of his predecessor’s global war on terror, pivoting from a full-court campaign of military pre-emption to a new era of proportionality and political engagement. Squarely confronting critics who have decried his administration’s unprecedented use of unmanned drone strikes and its continuing detention of suspected terrorists at Guantanamo, the president pledged to curtail both practices and called on federal lawmakers to facilitate the transition to a containment effort that relies less heavily on military force. He said Gitmo has become “the symbol around the world for an America that flouts the rule of law” and warned that “history will cast a harsh judgment” if the U.S. continues to imprison suspects indefinitely without prosecuting them before criminal juries or military tribunals on American soil. … For Obama, Thursday’s address to the National Defense University was an effort to distance both his presidency and the United States from the open-ended war on terror then-President George W. Bush declared in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He noted that five years have passed since “the premise for opening Gitmo — that detainees would not be able to challenge their detention — was found unconstitutional.” And he acknowledged that casualties inflicted on innocent civilians have damaged U.S. credibility with both the people and governments of strategically important allies. Among the most refreshing themes in Thursday’s address was Obama’s call for the expanded use of diplomacy and foreign aid, both of whose effectiveness has been grossly underestimated. As the president noted, current expenditures on foreign assistance constitute “only a tiny fraction of what we spend fighting wars that our assistance might ultimately prevent.” A single speech will scarcely bring about the sea change Obama seeks. But the shift in focus and tactics that he outlined Thursday is both worthwhile and long overdue, and America’s long-term efforts to contain terrorism can only be enhanced by its swift implementation. New York Times on nuclear weapons funding: The United States has about 180 B61 gravity nuclear bombs based in Europe. They are the detritus of the cold war, tactical weapons deployed in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey to protect NATO allies from the once-feared Soviet advantage in conventional arms. But the cold war is long over, and no American military commander can conceive of their ever being used. Even so, President Obama has put $537 million in his 2014 budget proposal to upgrade these bombs. When all is said and done, experts say, the cost of the rebuilding program is expected to total around $10 billion — $4 billion more than an earlier projection — and yield an estimated 400 weapons, fitted with new guided tail kits so that they are more reliable and accurate than the current ones. This is a nonsensical decision, not least because it is at odds with Obama’s own vision. In a seminal speech in Prague in 2009 and a strategy review in 2010, Obama advocated the long-term goal of a world without nuclear arms and promised to reduce America’s reliance on them. He also promised not to field a new and improved warhead. But the B61 upgrade would significantly increase America’s tactical nuclear capability and send the wrong signal while Obama is trying to draw Russia into a new round of nuclear reduction talks that are supposedly aimed at cutting tactical, as well as strategic, arsenals. In addition to overspending on warheads, Obama has cut the Global Threat Reduction Initiative program, which reduces and protects from terrorism vulnerable nuclear material at sites worldwide, by 15 percent from 2013 levels. His budget is being rewritten by Congress, but in the nuclear area it is a disappointing, and befuddling, measure of his priorities.
THEY SAID IT “So far we are pleased to see the crowd still came out. All the organizations said they’ve been doing pretty well and we’ve had a good response from our crafters as well.” — Troy Strawberry Festival Manager Heather Dorsten, on the crowds that came to the festival Saturday “It’s one of the best and the longest parades around — we love it.” — Troy Strawberry Festival parade attendee Daryl Sanger “It was cool to perform for people from another country. We’ve only performed for people in Ohio, never from a foreign country.” — Troy Pop Rocks jump rope team member Riley Becker, on performing in front of a delegation from Takahashi City, Troy’s sister city in Japan
Video game companies not telling the truth Telling the truth. The whole truth. Without being prodded. Nothing in the world could be easier. And yet, heading into the next generation of video game consoles, the two biggest players — Microsoft and Sony — are, for the most part, refusing to do just that. With every gamer very impatiently waiting and trying to decide which company’s upcoming machine to throw their money at, there are tons of questions about the Playstation 4 and newly-christened XBox One that everyone wants to see answered — and just about all of them revolve around digital rights management (DRM) and always-online requirements. Both companies had chances to answer those questions and quell the many, many rumors that have their consumers up in arms and ready to boycott the next-gen consoles in their hour-long unveiling pressers. Both companies actively chose not to. Sony chose to show off its new controller and some of the coollooking games that will be on the Playstation 4 — without ever showing the console itself. Microsoft heard the criticisms of
Josh Brown Sunday Columnist that decision and put the XBox One itself on display right off the bat — but then focused on all of its bonus capabilities aside from playing games and ignored showing the games themselves, choosing to wait for the upcoming E3 expo for those. I get both decisions, I do. What I don’t get, as a gamer with (hopefully by the time comes depending on prices — which also were not touched on) the cash to shell out on only one of these consoles, is why neither company bothered addressing a single issue that actually matters to us. Especially given how long rumors have been swirling, and the backlash to them. Most of those rumors involve the companies’ stance on used games. Console game developers have been griping about the fact
that gamers can sell their used games back to retailers, who then resell them at discounted prices — and the developers get no share of that second-hand sale. Before either new console was even announced, reports circulated that they would include some form of DRM to ensure gamers couldn’t buy second-hand games, either by requiring connections to the Internet, installing games to hard drives or including activation codes to tie games to user accounts. DRM is a dealbreaker for more than half of the potential buyers out there — and that may be underselling it. Sony said nothing concrete about its stance at its unveiling months ago. Microsoft inexplicably did the same two weeks ago — leading to mountains more criticism for both, as well as tons of incomplete, misinformed or just plain speculatory reports. Naturally, both companies have denied those reports like crazy, but neither has given anything of substance as to what their plans actually are. Just lots of platitudes. “I’m working on rounding up the answers, and they look pretty good,” Microsoft spokesman Larry Hyrb said on Twitter. “It’s a massively important issue, and of
course we are going to do the right thing,” President of Sony Computer Entertainment Shuhei Yoshida said. Rounding up answers? If the console is already built and functioning, don’t you think those answers are important to already have? And the right thing for who? Your customers, or your alreadywealthy publishing company friends? No one is saying. Despite the fact the gaming press is ever-present, no one wants to truly clarify things, maybe because we won’t like the answer. But as instantaneously connected as the world is — particularly the gaming community — thanks to the Internet, Sony and Microsoft still believe they can hold onto the info and release it on their own terms. But if you’re hiding the truth, you may as well be lying. And telling the truth is so easy. Just open your mouth and say it. The gaming world is ready to listen. TDN Sports Editor Josh Brown appears Sundays. Oh well, at least neither one is still a generation behind like Nintendo with its joke of a Wii-U.

Devils fall short of regional title BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com Fresh off their first regional win ever and setting a new school record for wins, the Tippecanoe Red Devils looked poised to take the next step Saturday in the Division II regional final against Jonathan Alder — particularly with their ace Ben Hughes on the mound. But in a game of this magnitude, making the most of your chances is key — and the Red Devils simply didn’t do that in a 3-0 loss to the Pioneers at Athletes In Action Field.
XENIA Jonathan Alder, which finished the game with six hits, scored its first run in the third when Hughes balked with runners on second and third. With runners on second and third in the home fourth, the ball was put in play to shortstop Cameron Johnson, who tried to throw the runner out at the plate, but the ball sailed over catcher B.J. Donathan’s head and plated two runs. STAFF PHOTO/MARK DOWD All of Alder’s runs against Tippecanoe’s Zach Robbins is tagged out by the Johnathan Hughes were unearned.

Three straight Buccs win region again, on to state BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Not used to getting hit hard — or at all — and knowing Triad’s penchant for coming from behind after its regional semifinal win, Covington’s Casey Yingst didn’t falter. “I felt fine,” she said after the Cardinals piled up seven hits in the final three innings. “We had the lead, and the defense behind me is flawless. “You can’t panic.”
BY ROB KISER Civitas Media rkiser@civitasmedia.com Whether it was hurdles or distance, the Covington boys and girls had it covered Saturday at the Division III regional final at Piqua. Troy Cron and Jackie Siefring combined for three regional titles, while freshman Carly Shell won the girls 3,200 and Tara Snipes was second in the 800 on one of Covington’s most productive days at a regional meet.

TIPP CITY Shortstop Cassidy Cain certainly didn’t. With the tying runs on first and second and two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Jenna Welty hit a slow grounder to short. Cain was forced to take it on an in-between hop and momentarily bobbled the ball — but she recovered quickly and made a heads-up play to toss it to third to get the game-ending force and send the Buccaneers to their third straight state tournament after a 4-2 win in

“That was sweet,” Siefring said after watching both Cron and Dalton Bordelon advance to state in the 300 hurdles. “And Ben (Miller) ran a PR in the 110s. It was a great day for our hurdlers.” Cron swept the 110 hurdles (14.85 seconds) and 300 hurdles (38.95). “We push each other in practice all the time,” Cron said. “Actually, Jackie (Siefring) pushes us more than we push her. It’s great having her. I wanted to Dalton (Bordelon and Ben (Miller) to both make it to state. Ben ran a great race, he just missed and Dalton made it. I think having been there (at state) is going to help me.” Bordelon ran a 40.32 in the 300 hurdles, finishing third. “I have Troy (Cron) to push me every day in practice,”

DAYTON
It came as no surprise to Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith when junior Wes Martin placed fourth in the shot put at regional Saturday to earn a spot at the Division II state meet. That’s because Martin appeared very confident going in. “Right before he started throwing, he looked over and said ‘I feel good today.’ You could tell Wes was on his game,” Meredith said. Martin, Milton-Union’s last
remaining track and field athlete, placed fourth at the regional meet with a toss of 49-9.25 Saturday at Welcome Stadium in Dayton. Martin was sitting in third for most of the day before Goshen’s Calvin Phillips bumped him to fourth with a final throw of 50-9.25. River Valley’s Quinn Levering won the competition with a toss of 57-7.5. All three athletes ahead of Martin in the standings were seniors. “He was cool today,” Meredith
said. “He didn’t freak out or anything. For a kid who wasn’t going to do track this year to make state is saying something. I mean, he’s going to be a big-time college football player, he’s got full rides everywhere. I don’t know if it was the convincing by all the coaches or if he decided to do it, but he’s the best athlete in the school. “So him making the state meet isn’t a big surprise. Wes was on his game today.” And the scary thing is that Meredith doesn’t even think he has reached his full potential yet.
“Those 49- and 50-foot throws aren’t his potential, those aren’t where he’s at,” Meredith said. “What will be interesting will be watching how far he can go with it, because I don’t think he’s reached his potential yet. It’s just going to take one throw (at state). He had five-foot PR at district, so I’m hoping we see a fivefoot PR at state.” • Division I Todda Norris may have not qualified for the state in the long jump, but she did pick up some key points for her team to push

Buccs ■ CONTINUED FROM A8 Saturday’s Division IV regional championship in Tipp City. “I knew (third baseman) Heidi (Snipes) would be there, and I knew the other two girls were too fast to get. I only had the one play,” Cain said. And even in that situation, in such a big game and after a brief bobble, Cain still easily kept her head and made the play. “I was just focused,” Cain said. “You can’t think about it at a time like that. You just have to do it.” “She (Cain) makes those plays all the time,” Yingst said. “I wasn’t worried at all.” And that kind of attitude — to go along with heaps of talent — is exactly how the top-ranked Buccaneers have piled up a 30-0 record this season, and it’s exactly why they’re moving on to Thursday’s state semifinal game, where they will play Strasburg-Franklin, for a third straight season. And while the majority of those wins have been blowouts, including a 17-0 laugher in the district final against Franklin Monroe and a 10-0 win over Marion Local in the regional semifinal — in which Yingst threw a nohitter — every time Covington has been tested this season, it’s aced it. “This is the way it’s supposed to be,” Covington coach Dean Denlinger said. “We always tell the girls that you can’t runrule everybody. The regional final is supposed to be a tough game, and I think this can only help us next week. “And we even had an off-day at the plate today. We had a couple of chances to put extra runs on the board, and we just didn’t execute.” The Buccs only had seven hits in the game — the first time all year they’ve had less than 10. But they made enough of them count early on. Connor Schaffer

After a pop out for the second out, Brittanie Flora stole second and took third on an errant pickoff attempt. Haley Adams then came through with the game’s first hit, a clutch two-out single to drive in the first run. Adams then kicked off the next rally in the fourth, beating out a two-out infield single, which was followed by a bloop single by Cain.

Covington led 2-0. And with Yingst cruising, that two runs seemed like plenty. Yingst struck out three and allowed only one baserunner on an error through the first four innings, and she seemed poised to toss another nohitter. After a leadoff single by Heidi Cron and a walk to Jessie Shilt to start the fifth, the Buccs looked poised to deliver a knockout blow. But the lead runner got caught in a rundown after faking stealing third, and a fielder’s choice that again got the lead runner left the Buccs with a runner on first with two outs. Yingst came through, though, hammering the first pitch she saw off the base of the fence in left for an RBI triple, and two pitches later another passed ball allowed that run to score, as well, giving the Buccs a 4-0 lead.
“It’s about time,” Yingst said of the big hit. Triad chose that time to wake up. Jenna Ober singled up the middle with one out in the fifth for the Cardinals’ first hit, and Chelsea Price followed with another single. But Yingst got one of her eight strikeouts on the day and a flyout to center to end that inning. Maddi Ehrenborg then led off the sixth with a single, Welty singled and Dayna Ober hit an RBI double to the right-center gap to give Triad its first run. Hannah Watkins then grounded out to second to bring home another run, and a flyout to right ended the inning with a runner stranded on third. Yingst got the first two hitters in the seventh out, but nine-hitter Summer Detrick blooped in a single to keep the game going, and Ehrenborg drew Yingst’s only walk of the game — but the Buccs didn’t panic, Cain got the lead runner at third by a step and Covington celebrated. “Three trips to state in three years. That’s impressive,” Denlinger said. “And now we can talk about what we’ll do there now that we’re going. I’m pretty superstitious, so we haven’t talked about that until today. The girls played well today, and they played hard.” And while they’ve been to Akron three straight years, the Buccs still have the perfect mix of excitement — and focus on what comes next. “It’s still awesome,” Yingst said. “Not many teams get to go at all. To do it three times in a row is remarkable. But we’ve still got unfinished business, too.” “It’s exciting, but we want to win it this year,” Cain said. “We want to make this year different.” Cov.........010 120 0 — 4 7 1 Triad......000 002 0 — 2 7 4 Yingst and Shaffer.

Leake, Reds shut out Pirates, 2-0 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Leake continued his recent run of strong pitching by working six scoreless innings Saturday night as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0. Leake (5-2) scattered seven hits as the Pirates stranded seven runners during his six innings. He had five strikeouts and one walk. In his last four starts, Leake has gone 3-0 with a 0.27 ERA, allowing only one run in 33 innings. The Reds shut out Pittsburgh for the second straight night as the Pirates lost back-to-back games for the first time since May 8-9. On Friday, Johnny Cueto pitched eight innings of a one-hitter. Francisco Liriano (3-2) struck out 11 in six innings and allowed only one run but lost his second straight decision. Liriano also struck out seven batters in a row between the first and third innings, tying the club record set by Erik
Bedard on May 3, 2012 at St. Louis. Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless ninth, striking out Alex Presley swinging on runners on first and second to end it for 14th save in 16 opportunities. Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips, who entered the day with a National League-leading 44 RBIs, had two hits but left the game in the eighth inning with a bruised left forearm after being hit by a pitch from Tony Watson. X-rays were negative. Indians 5, Rays 0 CLEVELAND — Ubaldo Jimenez pitched eight scoreless innings and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 5-0 on Saturday.

Pacers force Game Devils 7, blast Heat 91-77
■ CONTINUED FROM A8
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roy Hibbert had 24 points and 11 rebounds, Paul George finished with 28 points, and the Indiana Pacers forced a deciding game in the Eastern Conference finals with a 91-77 victory over the Miami Heat on Saturday night. LeBron James scored 29 points for the defending NBA champions, who will host Game 7 on Monday. Dwyane Wade was limited to just 10 as he and Chris Bosh struggled again. The Pacers opened the third quarter on a 14-2 run as the Heat went 1 of 11 from the field. Indiana led by 17 late in the third. Miami got within four before the Pacers pulled away again. It was everything one would expect from an elimination game. The teams traded jabs, some-
times literally, counterpunched effectively and ignored the players bumps and bruises of yet another physical game in a tough, compelling series. Both teams attacked the basket with sometimes problematic results. Indiana missed about five dunk attempts in the first half and a series of short jumpers, too, costing them precious points. The Heat struggled, too, starting the game just 3 of 22 from inside the 3-point line. Miami was just 16 of 54 from inside the arc for the game. Indiana’s loud fans chanted “Heat Are Floppers!” sporadically throughout the second half, urging the Pacers to play harder, to defend better and to make another trip home. The only way they can do that is if they reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000.

’Hawks top Kings CHICAGO (AP) — Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa scored in the second period, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Saturday in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. Corey Crawford made 21 saves, and the Blackhawks generated just enough offense to improve to 7-1 at home in the playoffs. Game 2 is scheduled for Sunday. Jonathan Quick stopped 34 shots, and Justin Williams scored for Los Angeles, which has won just one of seven road games in the playoffs. Bruins 3, Penguins 0 PITTSBURGH —
David Krejci scored two more goals during his torrid postseason and the Boston Bruins shut down the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-0 in the opening game of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday night. Nathan Horton added an insurance goal in the third period and Tuukka Rask stopped 29 shots for the Bruins, who silenced Sidney Crosby and the rest of the NHL’s top-scoring team. Pittsburgh came in averaging a league-high 4.27 goals in the playoffs but couldn’t solve Rask. The Penguins hit the post six times and seemed a little bit off following an eight-day break between rounds.
The Red Devils missed their chances to take control of the game early on, stranding the bases loaded in the top of the first and having a runner gunned down at home plate in the second. Tipp had three hits in the second inning — and none for the rest of the game. Johnson led the top of the first inning with a walk on four straight pitches, then eventually reached third on two sacrifice plays. Carter Langdon was intentionally walked, before Austin Hadden was hit by a pitch. The Red Devils got nothing, though, as B.J. Donathan struck out looking, after being up 31 in the count. In the top of the second, Steven Calhoun led with an infield single, but misread a sign and got caught running while Zach Robbins was at the plate trying to lay down a bunt. Following that, Robbins doubled to put himself in scoring position. Cole Quillen lined a single past the second baseman and Robbins headed home, but was called out on a dart by Alder right fielder Jordy Thomas. Johnson grounded out to end the inning as Alder pitcher Pete Whitmer got out of another jam unscathed. “We had three hits that inning and two outs. That’s crazy,” Tippecanoe coach Bruce Cahill said, referring to what transpired in the second. “And you know you’re trying to be aggressive and make things happen, then you look back and think maybe we should have been conservative in that inning, maybe we should have let the guys hit and

not do anything else. “But when your only three hits come from the bottom of the order, our
seven-through-nine hitters in just one inning, and we get nothing in the other six innings … I just
can’t understand that either.” Whitmer didn’t allow the Devils to do much after that, recording back-to-back one-twothree innings in the third and fourth. The Red Devils didn’t get a runner into scoring position for the rest of the game. “This is the kind of kid that beat us a couple times this year,” Cahill said. “He’s probably a kid that throws about 78 (MPH) and a curve for strikes. Whatever he was throwing had some kind of a wrinkle — that’s the kind of kid that’s beat us.” Whitmer threw a complete game for the win. Hughes also went the distance, striking out six. The Red Devils finish the year with a record of 28-5.

Logano wins Nationwide race DOVER, Del. (AP) — Joey Logano savors the times he led Joe Gibbs Racing into Victory Lane. Turns out, he enjoys beating JGR so much more. Logano changed his team and his car, just not the result, and raced to his third straight Dover victory in the Nationwide Series on Saturday. Unlike the last two, Logano won for Penske Racing. His previous two Dover victories came under the Gibbs banner. This time, Logano held off JGR drivers Brian Vickers, Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch for the checkered flag. “I wanted to beat them really bad,” Logano said. Busch, who won the Truck Series race Friday, dominated most of the race and led 72 of the 200 laps. But he was 10th off the final restart, couldn’t drive his way to the front of the field and was fifth.
Vickers was second, Kenseth third, and Trevor Bayne fourth. Logano raced to his first Nationwide victory of the season after winning nine times last year. “It is amazing to finally win for the captain, Roger Penske,” Logano said. “It feels good to get back in Victory Lane.” Logano won for the 19th time in 114 career Nationwide starts. Busch was trying to sweep the NASCAR tripleheader at Dover but fell short in trying win all three for the first time since 2010. With the race under caution, Busch took four tires while Logano went with two on the final pit stop. Logano led the field to green and pulled away. “It’s my fault. I’m aggravated with myself,” Busch said. “I made the wrong call there. I just figured more would take four.”

Kuchar leads, Woods stumbles DUBLIN (AP) — Matt Kuchar thrived in tough conditions that sent Tiger Woods to the worst nine holes of his PGA Tour career Saturday. Kuchar survived a nasty combination of swirling wind and fast greens at Muirfield Village for a 2-under 70, giving him a two-shot lead over Kevin Chappell and Kyle Stanley going into the final round. Woods rallied on the front nine to salvage a 79, matching his second-worst score on the PGA Tour. Going for his sixth win at the Memorial and his fourth victory in his last five tournaments, Woods had two double bogeys and a triple bogey on the back nine for a 44, breaking by one shot his highest ninehole total as a pro. Kuchar was at 8-under 208, among 10 players separated by only four shots. Chappell shot 68, and
Stanley had a 73. Bill Haas, the 36-hole leader, ran off three straight bogeys late in his round for a 76, and he wasn’t all that upset about it. Haas was still only three shots back. ShopRite LPGA Classic GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Shanshan Feng shot a marvelous 4under 67 before the wind picked up Saturday and grabbed a three-shot lead after two rounds of the ShopRite LPGA Classic. Feng, who last year became the first Chinese player to win an LPGA Tour title and a major event in capturing the LPGA Championship, matched the best score of the day. Using a new set of clubs, she had a 6-under 136 total on the windwhipped Bay Course at the Stockton Hotel and Golf Club.

Troy Christian’s Zach Garver runs the 1,600 Saturday at the Division III regional meet. ■ CONTINUED FROM A8 Bordelon said. “I thought state was pretty realistic at the beginning of the year, but times really started to drop and I was a little nervous. But, I ran a good race today. I think having Troy over there at state is going to help me a lot.” Siefring put Wednesday’s false start in the 100 hurdles behind her as best she could, cruising to a win in the 300 hurdles in 44.96. She also added a fourth-place finish in the long jump in 16-11 3-4. “You have no idea (how difficult it was),” Siefring said. “I was just trying to make sure I didn’t do anything the officials could disqualify me for. I came out of the blocks like a grandma.” Siefring will be running just one hurdle event at state for the first time in her three-year career. “It is definitely less stressful,” Siefring said. “The 100 is definitely more stressful, because one mistake and you are done. But, I would take that stress. I am not over it (the false start in the 100 hurdles). I probably won’t be over it until I run the race for the first time next year.” Shell continued her amazing year in track. After breaking former Versailles state champion Tammy Berger’s district record a week ago, she nearly matched it in winning the 3,200 in 11:32.71. “I didn’t expect this at the beginning of the year, but once it started happening, I went with it,” Shell said. “My only disappointment was I didn’t get faster this week, but that’s OK. It is pretty amazing to be a regional champion as a freshman.” Tara Snipes was a state placer in the 800 a year ago — and hopes to move up the podium this year. She finished second in 2:16.74, breaking her own school record. “As long as I keep getting faster I am happy,” Snipes said. “I wanted to get 2:15 before I was done and I am only a second away. So, that’s a goal next week. And I want to move up higher on the podium (she was eighth last year).” The Covington boys finished the meet on an upbeat note, taking fourth in the 4x400 relay (Ryan Craft, Brandon Magee, Alex Schilling, Dustin Fickert) in 3:28.58 to advance.

I was nervous on the jump at 6-3. I knew when I cleared 6-2, that was probably going to get me to state.” In the final team scoring, Covington boys were third (51) and the girls were sixth (40). • Return Trips For Lehman junior sprinter Justin Stewart, it was all about the relay. Sarah Sprinter Titterington and thrower Brad Montgomery will both be competing at multiple events for Lehman at state, while Corrine Melvin will do the same for Miami East. Stewart, a four-event qualifier, had his biggest smile after passing several runners near the finish of the 4x200 relay to get Lehman third in 1:32.78 and team with Mitchell Slater, Erick Jackson and Teddy Jackson for a berth in the state meet. “That’s the one I really wanted,” Stewart, who broke into a big smile when he met with the other three in the infield after the race, said. “We have worked really hard and it is great to have that opportunity at state.” Stewart also finished third in the 100 (11.33 seconds), won the 400 (49.08
seconds) and third in the 200 (23.02 seconds) to advance to state in all three. Brad Montgomery followed up qualifying for the discus on Wednesday, by doing the same in the shot put on Saturday, finishing second with a put of 51-2. Titterington, who battled through an injury earlier this spring, is going to state under different circumstances this season. A year ago, she was regional champion in the 100, 200 and 400. And while she didn’t record any firsts Saturday, she will be running at state in all three events. Titterington was fourth in all three events. She ran the 100 in 12.77 seconds, the 400 in 57.36 seconds and the 200 in 26.32 seconds. “I wasn’t really worried about winning today,” Titterington said. “I was just focused on getting to state. You get behind on conditioning when you are injured, but I feel good about where I am at. I think having been to state last year, I won’t be as nervous this year. I think that will help.” Melvin referred to her day, particularly in the 100, as redemption. She finished second in the 100 (12.59 seconds) and third in the 200 (26.27 seconds). “I felt like I had to redeem myself after the 100 on Wednesday,” said Melvin,
who ran 12.98 in the prelims. “I got off to a horrible start in the prelims. People who saw that probably thought I didn’t have a chance today.” Melvin feels like she has something to prove next week as well. “I placed at state before, so nothing less is acceptable,” she said. “Again, I think it is a chance for me to redeem myself.” Bradford’s Shay LaFollette advanced to state in the 100 hurdles for the third straight year. She matched her freshman season, finishing second in 15.44 seconds. “I was really nervous at the start (after seeing a runner DQ’d Wednesday),” LaFollette said. “I felt really good about the race. A lot of top hurdlers graduated last year. I have missed finals by one spot at state the last two years, so definitely, I want to make the finals this year.” LaFollette may well be the first Bradford track athlete to compete in three state meets. Meanwhile, Troy Christian freshman Meredith Haddad will be competing in her first state meet after placing second in the long jump (17-0.5). Another freshman, Miami Valley’s Taylor Middleton, won the event (18-1.5). Bethel’s Andrew Hurst also qualified for the state meet, placing fourth in the 800 (1:56.37).

Djokovic, Nadal seem vulnerable PARIS (AP) — For the third time in three matches this year in the French Open, Rafael Nadal hardly looked himself for a set. Unlike in the first two rounds, Nadal won his opening set Saturday, albeit barely. The takeaway, even after another victory, was the same: The owner of a record seven titles at Roland Garros is not the dominant force he usually is at the clay-court tournament. “If I want to have any chance,” Nadal acknowledged after beating 27thseeded Fabio Fognini of Italy 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4, “I really need to play better.” Hours later, the man Nadal beat in last year’s final and could meet in this year’s semifinals, No. 1 Novak Djokovic, seemed vulnerable, too. Walking to his changeover chair at 4-3 in the third set of a 6-2, 6-
2, 6-3 win against No. 26 Grigor Dimitrov, Djokovic stretched his right arm the one he has used to win six Grand Slam titles several times. He then was treated by a trainer, who applied ointment and gave Djokovic a massage near the shoulder. Two games later, the match was done, Djokovic was into the fourth round, and he raised that arm in his typical victory celebration. His mood would shift dramatically soon. When Djokovic left the court and went to the locker room, he was told that his first coach Jelena Gencic, 76, who began working with little Nole when he was 6 had died in Belgrade, Serbia, earlier Saturday. Djokovic issued a statement through the tournament saying that he would not be able to attend a
post-match news conference. “His team kept the news secret from him until after the match,” ATP spokesman Nicola Arzani said. “He just broke down. … He was very, very, very close to her.” As they approach each other in the draw, Nadal now meets No. 13 Kei Nishikori the first Japanese man in the fourth round of the French Open in 75 years while Djokovic faces No. 16 Philipp Kohlschreiber. The other matchups on that half of the bracket after a wild Saturday in Paris: No. 12 Tommy Haas against No. 29 Mikhail Youzhny, and No. 7 Richard Gasquet against No. 9 Stanislas Wawrinka. Haas let a record 12 match points get away from him in the fourth set, then saved one in the fifth.
He eventually pulled out a 7-5, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-7 (10), 10-8 victory over 19thseeded John Isner, the last American man in the field and the player best known for winning a 70-68 fifth set at Wimbledon three years ago. “These long matches seem to follow me,” said Isner, whose last five Grand Slam appearances ended with losses in fivesetters. “In hindsight, probably would have been better to lose in straight sets,” he added, “because I feel terrible right now.” In Nishikori’s victory, his opponent, France’s Benoit Paire, was assessed a point penalty for getting coached.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, June 2, the 153rd day of 2013. There are 212 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight: On June 2, 1953, the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place in London’s Westminster Abbey, 16 months after the death of her father, King George VI; it was the first such ceremony to be broadcast on television. On this date: In 1886, President Grover Cleveland, 49, married Frances
born within U.S. territorial limits. In 1966, the U.S. space probe Surveyor 1 landed on the moon and began transmitting detailed photographs of the lunar surface. In 1979, Pope John Paul II arrived in his native Poland on the first visit by a pope to a communist country. In 1997, Timothy McVeigh was convicted of murder and conspiracy in the Oklahoma City bombing. (He was executed in June 2001.)
Folsom, 21, in the Blue Room of the White House. (To date, Cleveland is the only president to marry in the executive mansion.) In 1897, Mark Twain, 61, was quoted by the New York Journal as saying from London that “the report of my death was an exaggeration.” In 1924, Congress passed a measure that was then signed by President Calvin Coolidge guaranteeing full American citizenship for all Native Americans
Are nutritional labels coming on alcoholic drinks? WASHINGTON (AP) — Alcoholic beverages soon could have nutritional labels like those on food packaging, but only if the producers want to put them there. The Treasury Department, which regulates alcohol, said this past week that beer, wine and spirits companies can use labels that include serving size, servings per container, calories, carbohydrates, protein and fat per serving. Such package labels have never before been approved. The labels are voluntary, so it will be up to beverage companies to decide whether to use them on their products. The decision is a temporary, first step while the Alcohol and Tobacco Trade and Tax Bureau, or TTB, continues to consider final rules on alcohol labels. Rules proposed in 2007 would have made labels mandatory, but the agency never made the rules final. The labeling regulation, issued May 28, comes after a decade of lobbying by hard liquor companies and consumer groups, with clearly different goals. The liquor companies want to advertise low calories and low carbohydrates in their products.
Diageo asked the bureau in 2003 to allow the company to add that information to its products as low-carbohydrate diets were gaining in popularity. Almost 10 years later, Smith said he expects Diageo gradually to put the new labels on all of its products, which include a small number of beer and wine companies. “It’s something consumers have come to expect,” Smith said. “In time, it’s going to be, why isn’t it there?” Not all alcohol companies are expected to use labels. Among those that may take a pass are beer companies, which don’t want consumers counting calories, and winemakers, which don’t want to ruin the sleek look of their bottles. The Wine Institute, which represents more than a thousand California wineries, said in a statement that it supports the ruling but “experience suggests that such information is not a key factor in consumer purchase decisions about wine.” Spokeswoman Gladys Horiuchi said the group knows of no wine companies that plan to use the new labels.

Lance Goede of Riverton examines one of the bottles of Wyoming Whiskey he purchased while waiting in line for a signing by the master distiller during the new distilled spirit’s debut on Dec. 7, 2012, in Kirby, Wyo. Alcoholic beverages soon could have nutritional labels like those on food packaging, but only if the producers want to put them there. Consumer groups want alcoholic drinks to have the same transparency as packaged foods, which are required to be labeled. “This is actually bringing alcoholic beverages into the modern
era,” says Guy Smith, an executive vice president at Diageo, the world’s largest distiller and maker of such well-known brands as Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Jose Cuervo and Tanqueray.
The beer industry praised the agency for acknowledging that labels should take into account variations in the concentration of alcohol content in different products. The industry has opposed the idea of defining serving size by fluid ounces of pure alcohol or as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor on the grounds that you may get more than 1.5 ounces of liquor in a cocktail depending on what else is in the drink and the accuracy of the bartender. The ruling would allow the labels to declare alcohol content as a percentage of alcohol by volume, the approach favored by the beer industry. “We applaud the TTB’s conclusion that rules be based on how drinks are actually served and consumed,” said Joe McClain, president of the Beer Institute. McClain said the beer industry is pleased that the ruling provides “substantial flexibility” in terms of the format and placement of the disclosure on packaging. It is unclear whether beer companies will actually use the labels, however.

Nancy Deal cuts fresh strawberries for a strawberry recipe Thursday.
Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler impresses contest winner’s guests BY MELODY VALLIEU Staff Writer mvallieu@civitasmedia.com
he 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.” The Tipp City resident, who is a vegetarian, said cooking for herself and her husband of 44 years, Dan, who is not, is not necessarily fun with their different diets. But baking they agree on. While she likes to bake cakes and even sometimes make candies, cookies are a favorite, according to Deal. She said she enjoys making chocolate chip cookies most and makes several kinds during the Christmas season. When she’s not baking up some sweet treats, Deal enjoys playing mahjongg — an ancient Chinese tile game — weekly with a group of friends. She also gardens, both flowers and vegetables, and said she and her husband grill and eat a lot of the vegetables they grow. A new gardening hobby she recently has taken up is fairy gardening, which is miniature container gardening complete with items such as miniature furniture and other structures and live plants. She said she recently took some classes with a friend to learn more about the new gardening craze. The couple, who have one son, Nancy Deal gathers ingredients for her strawberry cream cheese cobbler Thursday at her home in Josh, and their first grandbaby, a Tipp City. boy, on the way, also enjoy traveling, with their favorite state to glass baking dish visit being Colorado.

Counterfeit drugs pose risks Wardrobe staple BY CRISTIN SEVERANCE KGTV-TV SAN DIEGO — The prescription medicine you get online or from your pharmacy could be fake — and harmful. The World Health Organization estimates that 25 percent of drugs consumed in poor countries are counterfeit or substandard. Some international watchdog groups say up to 50 percent of treatments sold in the developing world are fraudulent. Counterfeit estimates for the U.S. are much lower — 1 to 2 percent of drugs are fake, according to the Food and Drug Administration and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. Industry experts assume that federal and state authorities’ tighter controls over manufacturing, distribution and retail sale of prescription and overthe-counter drugs reduce the incidence of fraud. But with more than 4
billion prescriptions filled in the United States each year — worth an estimated $310 billion — even 1 percent translates to 4 million packages that lack an active ingredient or have an insufficient amount, or that contain useless or even toxic fillers. It’s easy to trade in counterfeit drugs, a graduate student at the University of California, San Diego, demonstrated by setting up a fake pharmacy online. Called “No prescription drugs,” it has a domain name, Facebook page, Twitter account and plenty of customers seeking counterfeit prescriptions. “We were up and running in an hour,” said Dr. Bryan Liang, a professor of anesthesiology at the University of California, San Diego, and director of the San Diego Center for Patient Safety. “We had an average of 100 hits a month … from 12 countries.” Liang’s graduate student set up the fake online
site to gauge how easy it might be to push fake meds online. The site couldn’t actually sell drugs; instead, it tracked the number of hits. Liang, an expert on counterfeiting, said hundreds of sites sell fake drugs. The Scripps Howard News Service recently reported that a 2009 crackdown by the Food and Drug Administration on unauthorized online pharmacies led to the seizure of more than 800 packages that included Viagra, the pain reliever Vicodin and antihistamines. Some of the fake drugs had three times the level of active ingredient they should have, others none. Fillers included drywall, antifreeze and yellow highway line paint. FBI Liang, former agents and drug experts met in San Diego in April at an annual conference focusing on counterfeit drugs. Such drugs are potentially lethal, several indus-
try experts told KGTV-TV. Some counterfeit copies of drugs are impossible to detect without a laboratory test. But the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy offers several red flags for consumers concerned that the drug they’ve been given is not legitimate. Watch out for: • Packaging that appears to have been opened or labels that appear different from those seen in the past. • Medicines that are cracked or chipped or have a different color or shape than you’re used to. • A medicine that has a different taste or texture than you’ve previously experienced. • Adverse effects after taking the medicine — side effects that you have not had before or that are not mentioned on warning labels. If you suspect you have a fake drug, contact the FDA’s Medwatch program (800-332-1088) or your state pharmacy board.
The T-shirt turns 100 BY SARA BAUKNECHT Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The T-shirt, one of fashion’s most basic yet most versatile staples, is marking its 100th birthday this year. Want to brush up on your T-shirt trivia in honor of the occasion? CustomInk, which allows people to customize their own T-shirts online, has created a birthday website, complete with photos of the most popular tees and a timeline of key moments from the shirt’s life. According to www.tshirtbirthday.com, the Tshirt had humble beginnings as an undershirt. In 1913, the U.S. Navy issued crewneck tees to be worn under uniforms. The Merriam-Webster dictionary first recognized the term in 1920, defining it as “a collarless short-sleeved or sleeveless usually cotton undershirt (or) an outer shirt of similar design.” In the decades to come, T-shirts turned more stylish with prints and slogans. They got political in the 1940s, when New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey’s campaign designed ones with the phrase “Dew it with Dewey” printed on them when he ran for president. Even Hollywood contributed to the T-shirt’s popularity when Marlon Brando sported one in the 1951 film “A Streetcar Named Desire.” The top 10 T-shirt designs: 1. I (Heart) NY 2. Vote for Pedro (“Napoleon Dynamite”) 3. College (inspired by sweatshirt from “Animal House”) 4. Rolling Stones’ “Sticky Fingers” albumcover logo 5. Superman symbol 6. Batman symbol 7. Hard Rock Cafe London 8. Tuxedo style 9. D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education logo) 10. Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon”

Remodeling to fit your aging needs BY FRED W. WRIGHT JR. Tampa Bay Times For many elder Americans, growing older often means uncomfortable changes in the ability to do day-to-day tasks and even basic mobility. One aspect of aging that millions of seniors are clear on is that they do not want to move out of familiar surroundings and into a nursing home. One alternative that is becoming increasingly more popular is to adapt the home to make it more user-friendly as we age. There are now even experts in the aging-in-place concept who can assist in these modifications. The National Association of Home Builders, one of the largest organizations for contractors, engineers and home designers, offers a certification for licensed builders who want to concentrate and expand their skills for the aging population. The Certified Aging-inPlace (CAPS) designation is earned after a three-day workshop, with testing each day, and must be maintained with regular continuing education. More than 170 such workshops were offered by the NAHB in 2012 to nearly 2,000 people. The 5,000th certification was awarded to an Ohio builder last March. The first day of training starts with several sensitivity exercises, explains Theresa Crahan, NAHB executive director for remodelers. Students are asked to wear sunglasses smeared with Vaseline, to simulate aging eyesight. They are told to sit in a wheelchair and then maneuver in and out of rooms, opening and closing doors. Perhaps the most telling exercise, Crahan notes, is when students are told to place a tennis ball in their non-handwriting hand, cover it with a sock and then write a check — to simulate arthritis. “That’s an aha moment” for many, she says. Occupational therapists often are involved when an

Before you upgrade your bathroom, find a reliable “licensed and insured” contractor to work with. Special need contracting is serious business, and professional assistance with the permit and remodeling process is key. older person transits from the hospital or rehab center to home, so many take the course to be better informed, Crahan says. “The majority of people age 55 and older say they want to remain in their homes for as long as possible,” according to Joseph Irons, chair of the CAPS board of governors. “We want to help consumers make their homes their homes for a lifetime,” he said, “even when their needs and abilities change.” Glenn J. Gullo, who has been a general contractor for a dozen years, says his Tampa, Fla.-based company, Home Safe, focuses almost full-time on remodeling homes, townhouses and condos for aging consumers and customers with disabilities. “That’s our core business,” he says. Gullo, who took the CAPS course about five years ago, says there are three categories of people who need help making
their homes safer and more ready to support an aging resident. The first category includes items they can do themselves. “They don’t cost anything,” he says. Like picking up throw rugs. “Throw rugs are dangerous.” Put night lights along the path from your bed to your bathroom. Stub your toes a lot on the foot of the bed, on the feet posts and footboard? Put foam rubber around them. The second category of changes are ones a neighbor or relative might be able to help with. Electrical plugs, for example, “are never in the right place,” Gullo says. “They’re behind couches and under tables, hard to reach without bending over.” He suggests buying a surge protector that can be mounted to the wall so the plugs are easy to reach. And the third category is where Gullo and his fellow remodelers come in. A professional is required, someone who has the tools
and skills to make significant additions or modifications without damaging the home. There are more modifications that Gullo recommends consumers consider, according to their specific needs and budgets: • Grab bars in the bathroom over the tub and/or in the shower. Gullo, 57, says he has grab bars in his shower. “They’re great to hold onto when you wash your face and your eyes are closed.” • For people in wheelchairs or using a walker, consider a ramp over the stairs. This would apply even for an apartment or condo with a low threshold. • Reduce the step-up on stairs from the traditional 7 inches to 4 inches. • Take out the tub and put in a shower — with the proper safeguards. Gullo says 65,000 serious injuries happen in showers each year. A roll-in shower for people in wheelchairs can be built, with no lip or
step and a drain slightly below floor level. • Keep the tub and turn it into a walk-in. There are replacement walk-in tubs that can be expensive, Gullo notes, or a lessexpensive kit can be used to create a door that can be cut into the side of a tub and the edges smoothed. • Standard bathroom doors are 24 inches wide; the doorway can be widened to 30 or 32 inches by using off-set hinges. • Replace round door knobs with levers. “Can you pass the closed-fist test?” Gullo asks. “Can you open the door or turn on the faucet with a closed fist?” If not, then a lever door knob is much more practical and paddle levers for faucets. • Tables and kitchen counters can be made to accommodate residents in wheelchairs. These are custom-made jobs, Gullo notes. Exact measurements are made with the customer in his or her wheelchair.
• Kitchen ranges can be installed with controls in the front. Microwaves can be mounted lower for easier access. • For residents with walkers or wheelchairs, “carpets aren’t all that great,” he says. Vinyl or wooden floors are clearly better. • Dead-bolt locks can be installed with a remote button, similar to what is used on many new cars, along with the traditional key. Every home is different,” Gullo says, with different designs, ages, layouts and challenges. Some homes cannot be remodeled for an aging-in-place resident. “I’ve seen so many people who moved to Florida when they were 50 years old and now they are 70 or 75 years old. If they live in a townhouse, there’s very little we can do.” To find a CAPS remodeler, architect, contractor, home designer or engineer in your area, go to NAHB.org/capsdirectory.
Home-monitoring systems can make aging residents feel secure One of the elements that can make someone feel more secure, especially an aging resident who may be feeling more vulnerable, is a home-monitoring system. These systems offer a range of services, from standard fire-, smoke- and carbon-monoxide-monitoring to intrusion alerts mounted on doors and windows. All such systems are monitored 24/7.
For residents wanting more security regarding health emergencies such as falls or heart attacks, these systems also provide “alert” buttons. These buttons can be worn as a pendant, clipped on a belt or worn on the wrist. Push the alert button and a signal goes out from a monitor to telemetry centers. Most alert buttons work outside a house, up to a radius of 300 or
more feet. Calls will then be made, depending on the system, to a neighbor, nearby relative, caregiver or 911. Monitoring personnel, often trained in medical emergency responses, will call the customer as well in an attempt to confirm the emergency alert and the details. Many monitors need to be installed by a service technician for a base fee.
Some systems can be bought online and installed by the resident. All systems then require a monthly fee for monitoring; most require a contract of a year or more. Nearly all monitoring systems come with a battery backup in case of loss of electricity, up to 30 or more hours. In case an emergency response is required, a key can be placed with a neigh-
‘Care guides’ help patients follow orders BY MAURA LERNER Scripps Howard News Service Dr. Richard Adair insisted that they spell it out clearly when the jobs were first posted: No experience required. The idea was to hire people with no medical background, give them two weeks of training, and send them off to clinics to start seeing patients. Five years later, these socalled “care guides” are fixtures at more than two dozen Allina Health clinics in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, and groups around the country are calling to find out how the concept works. The guides are part of a fast-growing, and hotly debated, trend in medicine: Putting people with minimal (if any) medical expertise on the front lines — with titles like patient navigator or coach — to help improve care, and rein in the costs, of patients with chronic illnesses. The Allina program, which began as a pilot project in 2008, may raise some eyebrows: Most of the care guides are in their early 20s, some in their first jobs out of college.
But new research, which Adair and a colleague will present this week, shows that the care guides have been able to influence patients in ways that doctors alone could not — helping people to quit smoking, get their blood sugar under control, and make other small victories in the daily battle with chronic illness. One of the frustrations with traditional office visits, Adair said, is that the doctor’s message often evaporates when the patient gets home. “You can just tell sometimes that you’re not getting through to the patient,” he said. “They’ll give you the old bobblehead response, but they’re not going to do it.” For people with chronic illness, such as diabetes or heart failure, skipping a medication or ignoring their diet can be particularly dangerous. But it happens all the time, he said. “I thought, ‘what could we do differently?’?” Hiring more doctors or nurses, he knew, would be prohibitively expensive. The care guides were his answer. With a $6 million grant from the Robina
Foundation in Minneapolis, Allina hired a dozen of them, at the rate of $16 an hour, and set them up in cubicles in clinic waiting rooms. Their job: Meet with struggling patients, go over their doctors’ instructions in detail, and see whether they could help them make progress. Betsy Snyder, 23, never wears a white coat on the job. She wouldn’t want her patients to get the wrong idea. “I try to explain that I’m a different type of clinic employee,” said Snyder, who’s been a care guide at the Abbott Northwestern General Medicine clinic in Minneapolis since December. When she started, Snyder, who graduated from Macalester College in St. Paul last May, went through a two-week medical boot camp. That included three days of classwork (in “disease basics” and electronic medical records) and shadowing doctors, nurses and others around the clinic. There’s even a one-page “scope of practice” that spells out what they can and can’t do. It’s OK to give educational handouts, talk about con-
trolling blood pressure and help people shop for medications. But “no medical advice.” If a clinical question comes up, they have to check with a nurse or doctor. “That part, of not overstepping their boundaries, is important,” Adair said. “We just hammer them on that one.” One day recently, Snyder met with Bob Bourke, 80, who has diabetes and kidney disease. “So let’s go over how you’re doing with your goals here,” she said. Checking his electronic medical record, she noted that a recent diabetes test was outside the normal range (“It’s a little bit high”). How was he doing with his medications? At one point, Bourke wondered aloud whether a new drug might interact with his old one, and she deflected the question. “Yeah, I don’t know so much about the interactions,” she said. “But if you had a problem, we could certainly talk to [the] doctor.” Bourke says working with Snyder has given him a better grasp on his condition. “You know, the doctor is always busy, the nurse is always busy,” he said.

New thrills
This will be a great summer for a theme park vacation ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — If there’s ever been a summer to visit a theme park or two, or three this is it. High speed wooden roller coasters? Thrilling, sense-assaulting rides? Penguins? Yes, yes and most definitely. In Orlando alone, four of the area’s big parks Disney, Universal, Legoland and SeaWorld have opened, or are about to open, new attractions. Cedar Point in Ohio unveiled a new roller coaster a few weeks ago and in Las Vegas, a $50 million water park debuted on Memorial Day weekend. In California, visitors to Disneyland can meet all of the Disney Princesses in one place. Elsewhere in the Golden State, four different parks boast new roller coasters. “Wherever you live, that park is likely to have something new,” said Jeremy Schoolfield, the senior editor of Funworld Magazine, the trade publication for the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA). “There’s lots of innovations, what we call immersive experiences.” There’s been an onslaught of new attractions in Orlando in recent months. Back in December, Disney World opened a newly expanded Fantasyland, the largest project in the park’s 41-year history. There are two sections: Enchanted Forest, where visitors will find Belle from “Beauty and the Beast” and Ariel from “The Little Mermaid,” and Storybook Circus, which is inspired by the Disney film “Dumbo.” A new ride called Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid and Enchanted Tales With Belle, a walk-through experience that features a magical mirror and costumed characters, will impress movie lovers. And the popular Dumbo attraction is now a little less crowded, because Disney built a second, identical ride. The new spaces are built on what was once the site of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea experience, and the expansion doubles the size of the original Fantasyland. George Kalogridis, president of the Walt Disney World Resort, said that if he were bringing his family to the park on a summer day, he would begin with the Enchanted Tales with Belle experience, then check out the new Doc McStuffins segment at Disney JuniorLive on Stage at Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Studios is
also the place to find costumed characters from the Disney-Pixar movie Monsters University. “Something new in every park makes it easy to satisfy everybody in the family,” he said. Over at Universal Orlando, a 3-D theme park ride based on the Transformers toy and film brand will open June 20; a similar ride is already open at Universal’s parks in California and Singapore. The park describes the ride as an interactive, “larger than life battle” between the Autobots and Decepticons. It uses flight simulator technology, along with wind, heat and smoke to make the riders feel immersed in the experience. At SeaWorld Orlando, the Antarctica Empire of the Penguin attraction opened on May 24. With a ride, restaurants and the penguin habitat, it’s the largest expansion in the park’s history. The ride takes visitors through a queue, themed around a fictional penguin named Puck. As visitors make their way through the queue and ride, the temperature keeps dropping until visitors are in 30-degree temperatures. The ride ends at the penguin habitat, where more than 250 birds live. Visitors can watch the birds frolic on shore or underwater. Park executive said that in doing research for a new attraction, penguins are a big draw at parks. “As we developed this attraction, we found that adults like penguins just as much as kids, and we’ve seen adults act just like kids when they’re around them,” said Terry Prather, the vice president of park operations at SeaWorld Orlando. Busch Gardens in Tampa has two new offerings: the Madagascar Live show and three just-born rare Malayan tiger cubs. Over at Legoland Florida, the park is expanding to include a new ride and interactive play area based on the company’s popular Legends of Chima product line. The section, which is scheduled to open July 3, will include an interactive water ride called The Quest for Chi, a Lego-building challenge, a 4-D movie and a meet-and-greet with costumed characters. Legoland also has a Carlsbad, Calif., outpost and in April, opened a 250room Legoland hotel there. Visitors are greeted by a fire-breathing dragon made of 400,000 Lego bricks. Guest rooms are decorated in pirate, adventure or
kingdom themes, and most items in the rooms appear as if they are built of Legos. Not to be outdone by Florida, California’s theme parks also have new offerings mostly in the form of thrill rides. AP PHOTO/CEDAR POINT

With a ride, restaurants and the penguin habitat, it's the largest expansion in the park's history. The ride takes visitors through a queue, themed around a fictional penguin named Puck. At Disneyland, the new Fantasy Faire offers all of the Disney Princesses in one place the intricately detailed Royal Hall. Also at Disneyland, “Mickey and the Magical Map” is the new show at the Fantasyland Theater this summer. Great America in Santa Clara will have the Gold Striker, a wooden coaster that soars to 108 feet at 54 mph, opening this summer. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk’s new Undertow roller coaster will replace
the Hurricane coaster in June; it’s described a spinning roller coaster. At Six Flags Magic Mountain, the Full Throttle is billed as “the world’s tallest vertical loop” at 160 feet; that coaster will open later in the summer. Knotts Berry Farm debuts the Coast Rider this summer with 1,339 feet of track, the company says it “gives guests the feeling of riding the California coast.” Non-coastal residents also have new offerings at regional parks.
Dollywood in Tennessee has opened RiverRush in the Splash Country part of the park. In the Nevada desert, a water park called Wet ‘n’ Wild has opened in Las Vegas. And in Ohio at Cedar Point, thrill-seekers will be treated to a new, $30 million roller coaster. Called The GateKeeper, the 4,164foot track soars over the park’s entrance and winds through the park. It’s the longest winged coaster in the world, industry analysts
say which means that riders sit on either side of the track, with nothing above their heads or below their feet. The two-minute, 40-second ride features rolling flyover maneuvers, 360-degree flips, drops, spirals and a gut-churning 170-foot drop. Each vehicle has four riders and each one can move independently and snake through elements,” said Schoolfield. “What’s exciting about this coaster is that it’s very maneuverable.”

Fame part of family business for Smiths TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, N.M. (AP) — Will Smith has a new outlook on teenagers: Parents do indeed understand. The rapper-turned-actor says he’s “grown a lot” since writing the Grammy-winning 1988 hit that humorously declared they didn’t. All three of his children now at least dabble in music and acting, most notably 14-year-old Jaden, who stars with his father in the new sci-fi film “After Earth,” opening Friday. Even in the midst of a globe-hopping promotional tour for the movie, Smith recognizes the downside to making stardom a family affair. “I think that the major risk of this particular business is strictly emotional,” he said in a recent interview. “The business has almost a narcotic quality. So it’s almost as if you’re introducing a narcotic into your kid’s life. “So for (wife) Jada (Pinkett Smith) and I, the most important thing is that they have to stay focused and grounded on the fact that they are giving. You don’t make movies for your ego. You make movies to transfer information, to bring joy, to add value to the world.” At an “After Earth” promotional event at the under-construction Virgin Galactic spaceport in the New Mexico desert,
AP PHOTO/SONY, COLUMBIA PICTURES
This film publicity image released by Sony-Columbia Pictures shows Will Smith, left, and Jaden Smith in a scene from “After Earth.” Smith does everything he can to playfully poke at his son’s ego. When Jaden loudly drops a water bottle during a TV interview, he’s quickly reprimanded: “You’re kidding, right? You’re kidding. That’s the most unprofessional thing I’ve seen you do.” Smith reaches over to shield his son’s face from bright camera lights, taunting the teen as a “super mega movie star, towering over you like a shadow over you. And you’re living in his shadow. And you’ve got to do interviews in his shadow.” Jaden, obviously accustomed to the teasing, responds with
calm confidence and some of dad’s hammy humor, saying he lives “naturally” in the spotlight. “You have to try to put your shadow on me,” said Jaden, who rode his skateboard through a hall between interviews. “But eventually your arm gets tired and it falls away and you let me go back to my natural state.” His father nods in mock sincerity. “Oh that’s deep. You are a deep being,” he says. Their film is set in a future where nature has turned on humans and survivors were forced to start a new civilization on another planet. Jaden plays a
trainee trying to follow in the footsteps of his father, a famous military leader played by Smith. When the two crash-land on an inhospitable Earth, Jaden’s character must prove his own abilities to survive, and save his father. “It is very allegorical in a way, right?” said screenwriter Gary Whitta, who developed the story with Smith and co-wrote the film director M. Night with Shyamalan. “Jaden I’m sure looks up to Will and is like ‘Wow, my dad is like the biggest movie star in the world. How can I ever live up to that?’ But he’s trying.”
Smith, 44, and Jaden first costarred together in 2006’s “The Pursuit of Happyness.” Smith produced his son’s hit 2010 remake of “The Karate Kid” with Jackie Chan, which made more than $350 million worldwide. (Smith’s last movie, last summer’s “Men In Black 3,” earned more than $600 million globally.) Smith said he wants his family to be successful in the entertainment industry across generations, and has searched Hollywood history for models. “I’ve looked for a lot of years. The Barrymores got really close to what I see in my head for my family,” Smith said, referring to the clan of theatre and film actors famed in the 1930s and now represented by Drew Barrymore. Smith’s daughter Willow, now 12, appeared in two movies but has focused on music. After causing a stir with the pop smash “Whip My Hair” three years ago, she’s backed away from the spotlight but continued to release songs online. Smith’s other son, 20-year-old Trey, has taken up DJ work and posts electronic dance songs and mixes online. Jada Pinkett Smith is an actress, author, singer-songwriter and businesswoman. She and Smith started Overbrook Entertainment, which has produced many of Smith’s films, including “After Earth.”
FILM REVIEW
FILM REVIEW
‘See Me’ isn’t magical despite a great cast
AP PHOTO/SONY, COLUMBIA PICTURES
This film publicity image released by Sony-Columbia Pictures shows Jaden Smith in a scene from “After Earth.”
‘After Earth’ disappointing Sci-fi tale will leave audiences pining for more BY JOHN DEFORE AP Film Reviewer LOS ANGELES (AP) — Humanity’s home planet hardly merits the namecheck in “After Earth,” M. Night Shyamalan’s sci-fi survival tale whose shipwreck action could (with the exception of a scene where our hero scrawls a crude map over Lascauxlike cave paintings) take place on any old life-supporting globe in the cosmos. The disappointingly generic film, which strands a father and son (Will and Jaden Smith) on Earth a thousand years after a planet-wide evacuation, will leave genre audiences pining for the more Terra-centric conceits of “Oblivion,” not to mention countless other future-set films that find novelty in making familiar surroundings threatening. Will Smith’s presence, not just as co-star but as originator of the story, seems likely to carry box office receipts beyond the benchmark of Shyamalan’s previous picture, the wretched “The Last Airbender,” but those hoping for a franchise should navigate elsewhere. Plans for such a franchise seem to be afoot, with filmmakers reportedly having written “1,000 years of back story” for these two characters and their society. They must be saving an awful lot for comic-book and videogame spinoffs, though, as the film squeezes its millennium-long setup into a few short moments of voiceover introduction. We learn that, having
ruined our environment, humans decamped en masse to Nova Prime, which would have been a nice place if not for the monsters that had been bred to kill humans. (By whom? Buy the comic book, kid.) Those beasts, Ursa, are blind, but can smell the pheromones humans release when afraid. When a member of the United Ranger Corps, the elder Smith’s Cypher Raige, found himself able to suppress his fear, he was suddenly invisible to the monsters. Harnessing this “ghosting” technique, he became a hero in the still-raging war. What we don’t learn in the too-quick intro is how all humankind came to speak in the same accent, most reminiscent perhaps of New Zealand’s — one that suits none of the cast very well, and makes Jaden Smith’s voiceover hard to follow. The script also fails to explain why future warriors, whose technology allows for a “cutlass” whose two ends morph into any type of blade the user requires, choose not to use guns or lasers against the mighty Ursa. One assumes it’s because somebody saw Darth Maul and thought his double-trouble light saber looked cool. In any event, Cypher Raige comes home between long campaigns to find his son Kitai unsettled, struggling to live up to his legacy. He decides to take the boy along on an interstellar voyage, but the ship is thrown off course by a gravitational storm and must land on the nearest planet. A crash
landing on Earth leaves three survivors: the Raiges and the Ursa specimen they’d been transporting for use in training aspiring ghost-ers. With both legs badly broken, Cypher must coach Kitai via cameraphone as he makes a 100-kilometer trek, dodging the freed Ursa and Earth’s own predators, to find the chunk of wreckage that can save their lives. This is the first Shyamalan-directed film on which he’s not the sole screenwriter, and in fact it takes a while to discern any trace of the filmmaker’s personality in a screenplay credited to him and “Book of Eli” scribe Gary Whitta. The script hits its action beats competently as Kitai copes with marauding animals and dwindling supplies, and works best when the teen is in motion. But Shyamalan is of little help to the actor when Kitai faces internal challenges: Smith’s performance, all furrowed brow and worried eyes, gives us no reason to believe Kitai is made of the same tough stuff as his father. Will Smith, meanwhile, is as hobbled as his character: Forced to sit in a chair, slowly bleeding to death as he impotently observes his son’s various perils, Cypher is a man of action who can’t act; Smith is a charisma-powered performer made to hide his charm behind a stern military demeanor. (When Kitai enters his first dangerous standoff, faraway Dad offers a stoic non sequitur: “Recognize your power: This will be your creation.”)
Shyamalan would have to try hard to make another film as bad as “Airbender”; “After Earth’s” missteps in conception and execution are more akin to the headscratching choices that kept “The Happening” from fulfilling its doomsday-flick potential. Who let that herd of fake-looking bison roam Earth’s grasslands, and who lit the critical scene, set on a tree stump amid roaring waterfalls, that was obviously shot on a soundstage? On a planet that now freezes every night, how do the flora of tropical rainforests survive? What seasoned soldier would send his son on a deadly four-day mission with a backpack the size of a bicycle seat? The film’s resolution, predictable to any viewer, feels oddly impersonal for a father/son bonding tale both dreamed up and enacted by a father for the son following in his footsteps. Whatever the faults of 2006’s “The Pursuit of Happiness,” that film employed the bond between the two Smiths much more effectively. One wonders if it might be wise to wait a while before the next pairing letting Jaden Smith, like Kitai Raige, come into his own before asking him to share a screen meaningfully with one of Hollywood’s biggest personalities. “After Earth,” a Sony/Columbia release, is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence and some disturbing images. Running time: 100 minutes.
Come to think of it, Hollywood films and magic shows have something in common: You pay your money, and you want to believe. Even if it’s exceedingly hard to do. At the start of “Now You See Me,” a magic-themed heist movie with a highpowered cast including Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson, you really want to believe. The idea is fresh, the introductory scenes enticing. Plus, the actual magic performances that anchor the film, directed by Louis Leterrier, are fun and for a while you almost forget that you’re merely watching other people watch a magic show. But then the dialogue turns formulaic, the plot gets increasingly hard to follow even a film about magic needs an underlying logic and character development seems to come to an utter halt, with interesting possibilities left unexplored. It all builds up to a dramatic reveal at the end, one that, like the traditional rabbit in the hat, you weren’t expecting. But by then, it’s a bit too late. You’ve already disengaged. It’s too bad, because the film has a great premise. Four professional illusionists are called together by a mysterious leader. Eisenberg is the cocky sleight-of-hand wizard who likes to run things and take all the credit. (Stop thinking about Mark Zuckerberg wrong movie!) Isla Fisher is his former assistant, and an escape artist. Harrelson is an expert hypnotist, and Dave Franco is the talented street magician. Soon they’re a formidable team: The Four Horsemen. They thrill a magic-show crowd in Las Vegas with a tantalizing heist that involves robbing a bank in Paris by “teleporting” a man from the audience across the pond, then rewarding the crowd with stolen euro notes. Enter Ruffalo’s roughedged FBI agent, Dylan Rhodes, who swigs liquor and coffee and AlkaSeltzer, partnered by a winsome French Interpol agent with the odd name of Alma Dray, played by Melanie Laurent. She’s not all that believable, though
it’s great fun to witness her comeback at one point to Dylan’s brutish order to “Stay in the car.” (You go, Alma!) In his pursuit of the Horsemen, Dylan will run up against Thaddeus Bradley Freeman, having a good time in the role of a former magician who’s now a reality host, exposing current magicians. He shows Dylan how the Paris heist was likely achieved, but the harder job is figuring out who’s in charge, and what they’re up to next. Because, as characters tend to say in this film, the key thing is to be a step ahead of everyone else. Freeman is fun to watch, as is Caine, as a presumed benefactor of the magicians. Ruffalo offers the most fully fleshed-out character, and he can be very funny. Other actors are somewhat wasted in this script by Boaz Yakin, Ed Solomon, and Edward Ricourt. Harrelson’s Merritt McKinney is wise-cracking, Fisher’s Henley Reeves is feisty, and Eisenberg’s J. Daniel Atlas is high-strung and fast-talking, but beyond that we know little. A romantic past is hinted at between Fisher and Eisenberg’s characters, then pretty much dropped. As for Ruffalo and Laurent, they get their moment, but it would have been nice to see some meaty dialogue between them. And you know it’s getting formulaic when, at a climactic moment, the 10year-old boy watching the film next to you mutters: “That always happens.” You’ll smile at the enjoyable final reveal, patently absurd as it is. But you won’t be feeling much magic. “Now You See Me,” a Lionsgate/Summit release, is rated PG-13 for language, some action and sexual content. Running time: 116 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. 40138447

What will it be in kid books: cupcakes or carrots? NEW YORK (AP) — Leslie Patricelli didn’t keep junk food in the house when her three kids were toddlers, but the goofy, bald baby in her board book “Yummy Yucky” grins from ear to ear over chocolate sauce and cookies. The prolific picture book writer also included pepperoni pizza as a positive, acknowledging in a recent interview that some of her empty calorie imagery for kids too young to seek out sugary and fatty foods on their own have earned her a kvetch or two from parents. “If I were to do it again I would probably make a few different choices, but I don’t think I would leave everything out,” said Patricelli, in Hailey, Idaho. “All you have to do is watch a kid eat a piece of cake to know that they’re in heaven.” Heaven, indeed, especially when it comes to an abundance of frothy pink cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies and candy in books aimed squarely at babies, toddlers and preschoolers who may not be intimate with the meaning of moderation. But some authors and publishers are focused on creating alternatives to c-isfor-cupcake picture books for parents struggling to promote broccoli. Even Cookie Monster sometimes eats smarter, chowing down on celery and demonstrating smaller portions of his namesake treats in “Ding Dong, Elmo’s Here!” and other books from the folks on Sesame Street. “Food is everywhere kids turn,” said Betsy Loredo, executive editor for Sesame Workshop’s publishing group. “So it’s natural for us to want to think of ways we can integrate that and make choices that are healthier. We try to go for at least equity.” Sesame Street, with an appearance by obesity fighter and first lady Michelle Obama, took on nutrition and exercise as an initiative back in 2004. The effort expanded to other divisions and special projects that included distribution of kits to six million families and child care centers offering ways to eat healthy on a budget and educate parents on the difference between “sometime food” and “anytime food.” With the childhood obesity rate tripling in the past 30 years to 1 in 3 children in the United States overweight or obese, books with healthy eating pictures and messages may not be everything, but they’re something, advocates said. Sesame Workshop, for instance, concluded in a 2010 study that when children are shown fruits and vegetables linked with favorite characters from the show they choose those foods at a much higher rate and eat more of them, according to Sesame researcher Jennifer Kotler. Even broccoli, she said with a laugh. “Something happens between 3 and 5 where there’s a growing awareness of what healthy means. Where 3-year-olds like the foods they like, 5-year-olds know things they might choose might not always be the healthiest,” Kotler said. David Goldbeck in Woodstock, N.Y., isn’t an absolutist, but he does care about what kids see in their books when it comes to food. He wants more of them to eat fruits and vegetables, so he co-wrote an alphabet book that puts broccoli and yams in equally healthy company. The Michigan Fitness Foundation, which is home to that state’s Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sports, uses Goldbeck’s “The ABC’s of Fruits and Vegetables and Beyond” in take-home book bags that are part of a health literacy program.

Sex-advice ace Dan Savage on the loose NEW YORK (AP) — It’s been quite a run for Dan Savage, what with all the podcasting and tweeting and in-your-face defending of marriage equality. Between speaking gigs, radio and TV appearances and the syndicated sexadvice column he writes from a desk that belonged to Ann Landers, Savage managed another book, “American Savage,” out this week from Dutton. Savage, 48, looks back on his mom, who died in 2008, takes us into his rationale for why cheating may just save your marriage and offers a glimpse of life at home with husband Terry Miller and their 15-year-old son. He says he wanted to write the book in part because “you know, I’m kind of gay and kind of prominent and I’ve been slugging away at the marriage equality issue for a long time.” But the book is about more than that. Savage talked to the AP about upsetting social
conservatives, trashing the Bible and being among the first same-sex couples to legally marry in Washington state. AP: How has becoming a father and watching your child grow changed you as a sexadvice columnist? Savage: It has changed me a little bit. I’ve been getting letters from teenagers who are 14, 15 and 16 years old, and sexually active, and with questions or problems, and I would give them advice, and now when I get a letter from a 15-year-old I look at my son, who’s 15, and I think, ‘You’re too young to be reading my column, you’re too young to be in this situation.’ It’s that getting older and becoming a parent and sort of drifting into that hypocrisy and the great forgetting of what being 15 is like, because I was sexually active at 15 and I’m fine, but when it comes to your own kid, you look at your own kid and go, ‘No, no you have to
wait at least 10 more years.’ There’s a surprising conservatism that parenting can unearth in your soul. AP: Do you have any regrets about your speech last year at the high school journalism conference in which you said there was bull—- in the Bible and called a walkout by a small number of participants “a pansy-assed move?” Savage: Yeah, I do. When you screw up you want to apologize and I did apologize for ‘pansy-assed.’ That was name-calling and that was hypocritical of me. I didn’t apologize for ‘bull— —’ in the Bible because there is, indeed, bull—— in the Bible. … I don’t pull punches when it comes to religion and I cannot avoid religion talking about the abuse of (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) kids because so much has a religious motivation or rationalization. AP: How does your late mother, who was a
lay minister, influence your work? Savage: My mother was really compassionate. There are three women I credit for sort of stumbling onto this gig and it being the right gig for me, and that was always Ann Landers, Xavier Hollander, who wrote the ‘Happy Hooker’ column in Penthouse magazine, and my mother. My mom was Dr. Phil for the neighborhood. I was a weird sort of sensitive mama’s boy and I would be in the kitchen, you know, hanging out doing nothing, sitting under the table while my mother sat there and hashed out problems with neighbor ladies and gave them advice. It was really listening to my mother give advice, and talk things out and listen to people and pick up on what they wanted, what they didn’t want. My mother used to say, ‘That’s the way the world works. You make a living doing what I did as a woman for free.’
AP: Amid the backlash from religious conservatives over your speech to the high school journalism students, you invited Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage for dinner and a tense dinner-table debate, which has been viewed more than 200,000 times on YouTube. How was it offcamera, behind the scenes? Savage: I didn’t run it by Terry, that I was going to invite a very prominent anti-gay bigot into our house for dinner, so I had to come home and say, ‘Oh honey, guess who’s coming to dinner?’ That did not go over well. The debate itself was really tense. I think I overprepared. It felt like all the pressure of Christmas and then none of the delight. You know, all the preparation for a big Christmas dinner and instead of it being Santa Claus and chocolates and presents showing up it’s a bigot.

Free airport therapy comes with four legs, cold nose, wagging tail LOS ANGELES (AP) There’s a new breed of airport dog. They aren’t looking for drugs or bombs they are looking for people who need a buddy, a belly to rub or a paw to shake. “His job is to be touched,” volunteer Kyra Hubis said about Henry James, her 5-year-old golden retriever that works a few hours a week at the San Jose airport. “I am just standing there with him. They are talking to him. If I need to answer for him, I do. But I am at the end of his leash, he’s not at the end of mine.” Mineta San Jose International Airport is widely credited with introducing the first airport therapy dog in the days after Sept. 11, 2001, when flights were grounded, passengers were stranded and reaching friends and relatives in the East was nearly impossible. Passengers were anxious and afraid. Enter Orion, owned by a volunteer airport chaplain who got permission to bring the dog to work. He made such a difference that San Jose formalized the program and now has nine dogs. Miami International Airport got onboard the program with one and Los Angeles International Airport has 30 and is hoping to expand its program. The dogs are intended to take the stress out of travel the crowds, long lines and terrorism concerns. You never know why people are flying, said Heidi Huebner, director of volunteers at LAX, which launched Pets Unstressing Passengers (PUPs) in April. Travelers might be in town for a vacation, a funeral, to visit a sick family member or to attend a business meeting. “You can literally feel the stress levels drop, people start smiling, strangers start talking to each other and everybody walks away feeling really, really good,” Huebner said. Dogs have to be healthy, skilled, stable, well-mannered and able to work on a slack 4-foot leash, said Billie Smith, executive director of Wyoming-based Therapy Dogs, Inc., which certifies the LAX animals. They have to be comfortable with crowds, sounds, smells and they need to pass through security like all airport workers. Handlers are taught to watch for people who fear

Travelers pet airport therapy dogs as volunteers with Pets Unstressing Passengers (PUPs) walk around the Los Angeles International Airport terminal May 21. The Los Angeles International Airport has 30 therapy dogs and is hoping to expand its program. The dogs are intended to take the stress out of travel: the crowds, long lines and terrorism concerns. or dislike dogs or those who might have allergies. In most cases, people approach the dogs, identifiable by the vests or bandannas they wear. Los Angeles’ dogs, which are featured on trading cards, are as varied as its airport passengers. There’s a long-haired Dalmatian, a Lab-pointer mix, a field spaniel, a poodle, three Australian Labradoodles, a Doberman and a 150pound Irish wolfhound named Finn who has two tricks. “He looks you in the eye and lays down on the job,” said owner Brian Valente. “When I’m around Finn, it makes me feel like things are OK. When Finn’s around other people, they are OK. It’s almost instant, even if just for a moment,” Valente said. Miami’s sole dog, Casey, a 4-year-old golden retriever, is a star. She has her own website, fan mail, business cards and a role on “Airport 24/7: Miami,” a weekly reality show on the Travel Channel. “Casey is so pure and genuine,” explained Dickie Davis, director of terminal operations and customer service. “She’s not asking for anything or selling anything. She is just a love magnet.” When Claudia McCaskill’s family recently flew home from vacation
In this photo taken May 21, Pets Unstressing Passengers (PUPs) volunteer Brian Valente, left, with his dog, Finn, greet the Bloom family with their 13-month-old son, Jacob, at the Los Angeles International Airport terminal. in Brazil she requested Casey meet the plane to greet her 5-year-old daughter, Carina, who is autistic. She knew Carina would be low on energy and patience and they still had a 2.5-hour drive home to St. Lucie. Casey and handler Liz Miller were there with a gift basket and Carina fell in love with the dog. “Thank you for visiting
us at the airport so I would be happy,” Carina said in a video the family made for Casey. Now Carina wants to go back and see Casey again. “I can’t say how much we appreciate what they did for us. It not only helped our daughter, but us too,” McCaskill said. Despite all the smiles, there are also hard moments.
Before departing from San Jose, a soldier kneeled down and told Henry James: “OK, buddy, you take care of the house while I am gone,” Hubis said. A woman who said her husband of 40 years told her he wanted a divorce that morning wept on Henry’s shoulder. “He just sat there,” Hubis said. “He knew. He can feel.”

Two in 5 women would consider parenting alone (AP) — As Christy Everson was nearing age 40, she made a decision: She wanted to have a child, even though she was single and it meant doing it all alone. Her daughter, conceived via a sperm donor, is now 2 1/2 years old, and Everson hopes to have a second child. “Was it worthwhile? Well, I’m thinking of doing it again, aren’t I?” she says. Everson and women like her are part of a shift in American society. An Associated Press-WE tv poll of people under 50 found that more than 2 in 5 unmarried women without children or 42 percent would consider having a child on their own without a partner, including more than a third, or 37 percent, who would consider adopting solo. The poll, which addressed a broad range of issues on America’s changing family structures, dovetails with a recent report by the U.S. Census Bureau that single motherhood is on the rise: It found that of 4.1 million women who’d given birth in 2011, 36 percent were unmarried at the time of the survey, an increase from 31 percent in 2005. And among mothers 20-24, the percentage was 62 percent, or six in 10 mothers. The AP-WE tv poll also found that few Americans think the growing variety of family arrangements is bad for society. However, many have some qualms about single mothers, with some two-thirds or 64 percent saying single women having children without a partner is a bad thing for society. More men 68 percent felt that way, compared to 59 percent of women. The survey found broad gender gaps in opinion on many issues related to how and when to have children. One example: At a time when the can-you-have-it-all debate rages for working mothers, women were more apt than men to say having children has negatively impacted their career. And this was true especially among mothers who waited until age 30 or older to have children. Fully 47 percent of those mothers said having a child had a negative impact on their careers. Of women overall, 32 percent of mothers reported a negative effect, compared with 10 percent of men. For Everson, who lives in a suburb of Minneapolis and is now 44, being the only parent means daily responsibilities that naturally suck up some of the time she used to spend on her career as a financial consultant. “To be honest about it, it’s hard to be a rock star” when parenting a baby, she says. But she sees it as more of a temporary career setback, and feels she’s already getting back on track with her toddler now over age 2. Soon, she says, “I’ll be getting back on my A-game.” For Joyce Chen, a hospital occupational therapist in San Francisco, it’s a question of what kind of career she wants to have. Chen, 41 and also a single mother, is happy to have work that she not only enjoys, but that she can balance easily with caring for her 10-year-old daughter. “I’ve been blessed,” she says. “I have a decent income. I don’t feel like I need to climb the ladder. I enjoy what I do, but I can leave it at the end of the day and not think about it.”

Landing a Job in a Digital Era W
ith people updating their social networking pages from their PDAs and downloading favorite tunes from their mobile phones, it should come as no surprise society has grown increasingly reliant on technology. Individuals about to dive into the job-seeking market may have to rethink their search skills to maximize the potential of reaching employers and companies that likely embrace a digital mind set. As of June 2009, the U.S. unemployment rate reached 9.7 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.This means there are a great deal of people — from the recently laid off to the newly graduated — who are all vying for the same jobs. Thinking creatively and exploring numerous ways of advertising oneself can help land a job in today’s market. Newspaper: The newspaper has long been a respected and effective means to find work. It is still a viable way to find jobs that are local without having to search through hundreds and hundreds of positions, which is common with online job posting sites. However, why not turn the tables and use the newspaper — and its respective online site — to advertise yourself? For a relatively low investment of time and money, you can place a classified ad that you are seeking work and briefly explain your credentials. Create a separate, free e-mail address with your favorite mail provider specifically for receiving inquiries to this advertisement. Personal Web site: Employers are short on time and many want to exert the least amount of energy possible when seeking job candidates. A personal Web page can put your information in the hands of employers in a concise and eye-catching way.The Web page can feature a brief description of yourself and also include a digital resume. Simply provide a link to your site when applying for a job. Remember, a personal Web site should be all business. Now is not the time for a pretty picture or stories about your pets. Employers are looking for skills. Be bold with buzzwords: Turn your experience into a list of buzzwords, keywords and important phrases when writing a resume. It used to be that verbs were the key to landing a job. Using strong action words should relay your experience. However, today resumes are frequently reviewed by a digital eye, rather than a human eye. This digital eye is programmed to recognize certain words and phrases that will sort your resume out from the others. Including the right keywords ensures your resume has a better chance of being picked. Use as many words as you can that were included in the original job posting — they’re likely to be programmed keywords. Most of these words are nouns that signal job titles, technical skills and levels of education or experience. Use social networking sites to your advantage: Employers and recruiters have admitted they frequently go to social networking sites, such as MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn to “check up” on potential hires — or even employees they already have on staff. Many a person has compromised his or her chances for hire by questionable material posted on their pages. Instead of being a victim of the pitfalls of social networking, use it to your advantage. Seed your pages with information that may be interesting to a potential employer by doing a little research. For example, if you know a certain company to which you’d like to apply places significant emphasis on the environment, list the “green” functions you’ve attended and the groups to which you

belong on your page. Know a hiring manager is an avid golfer? Talk about your passion for the game. It’s these little things that may get you in the door to an interview. Think differently: There are some people who want to take their job search to another level.With the market saturated by job seekers, sometimes it’s the person who has the nerve to stand out from the crowd that will land the job.Today it’s not uncommon to find door-todoor solicitation of jobs, people posting job requests on YouTube or similar sites, or even standing in a busy downtown area with a sign that says, “Looking for Work.” Others turn to popular blogs to get the word out. The more people who know you’re looking for work, the better chance you will find a position. Technology is technology: There are certain tips you should keep in mind when applying for jobs: - Scanners that look at resumes work well with these typefaces: Helvetica, Courier, Futura, Optima, Palatino, New Century Schoolbook, and Times. And they work best with type sizes in the 10to 14-point range. - Don’t send your resume as an attachment, or include any attachments, unless specified. There are always concerns about computer viruses and attachments can even get lost. Paste everything into the body of your e-mail. - Use the subject line of an e-mail as a theater marquee and sell yourself. - Use the proofreading/spell-check functions of your word processing software, but also print out your materials and read them over. There’s no excuse to be excluded from a job because of a silly typo. - Follow-up with all job applications. It could move your resume to the top of the pile.

Yields on the benchmark note are rising because investors are selling government bonds. That’s largely because minutes of the Federal Reserve’s last meeting showed several policymakers favored slowing the Fed’s bond purchases, perhaps as early as this summer. The Fed’s $85-billion-a-month in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases have pushed down long-term interest rates. When it slows the bond purchases, interest rates are likely to tick up. That would decrease the value of bonds with lower yields.

Party ■ CONTINUED FROM C1 apple green with a ruffled edge, plain white and wicker. I picked these three very different kinds of chargers so I could achieve a variety of looks on my table, depending upon which dishes and linens I use with them. I also opted for chargers that were simple in design so they would go with just about anything. 3. Linens to Add Luxury to the Table Some things I will scrimp on when I set my table for company. But not when it comes to napkins. You won’t find paper napkins on my table because I feel that cloth napkins do so much to make a table feel more luxurious and layered. I have four sets of napkins I keep at the ready for entertaining — each set offering me the opportunity to take my table in a completely different direction. One set is

If you want a bright, clean look on your table, stick with white dishes and use table linens and a floral centerpiece to bring in pops of color. Or mix the white dishes in with other dish patterns. Top a white dinner plate with a majolica salad plate shaped like a leaf. Or sandwich a white salad plate between a blueand-white transferware dinner plate and bread plate. 5. Goblets Take Dinner Drinks to the Next Level “Presentation over preparation” is my mantra when it comes to entertaining.

and use a complementary color in the other. How do the tiles in the bathroom look? Are they in need of repair? Do they look dirty no matter how much you scrub them? If so, you should bite the bullet and spend money to repair or replace them. Dirty, messy bathroom tiles make the entire room look dirty no matter how clean it is. Because we are replacing things, how about the faucets? Are they in good condition? Do they look good? Faucets can be expensive, but they also can be inexpensive yet attractive. Go shopping at your local hardware store, and you will see a variety of faucets at reasonable prices. How is the storage in your master bathroom? Never enough, right? If wall space permits, attach shelves to the wall for storage.

The master bathroom is usually a haven for refreshing and relaxing yourself in the privacy and comfort of your own personal space. Of all the bathrooms in the house, the master bath is the most important and should be the most elaborate as far as comfort is concerned. Here are some tips for decorating that room. Color is important; it should flow from the master bedroom so there is continuity and a seamless transition from the comfort of the bedroom to the refreshment of the bathroom. If wallpaper is your preference, one pattern for the master bedroom with a complementary one for the bath is ideal. But it is not necessary to have paper in the bedroom and the bath. If you don’t like that much paper, select a room in which to use wallpaper,

ware in your cabinet, go with clear glass. It goes with everything and looks so elegant. If you have space for one more set, pick a color that mixes well with your dishes. Have fun mixing up the glassware on your table, pairing clear and colored goblets. I use blue wine glasses with my clear water goblets all the time. Don’t have a set big enough for all your guests? Use different patterns for the sides and the ends of the table. 6. Flatware Finishes a Place Setting in Style Once you decide on the direction you want to go with your table, flatware can play a major role in helping you get there. Are you pulling together a formal occasion in a flash? Reach for the tried-andtrue silver or silver plate. You can’t beat it for sophistication. If your table is going to be awash with color, pick flatware that joins in the fun.

It’s possible to buy a home with little money in hand It really is true — it’s a great time to buy and this story is the perfect example of that. Joe (name changed to protect privacy) came to me as a referral from an associate of mine. He was pre-qualified for a loan of up to $85,000. Joe did not have much cash to put down, but he did have a credit score of 640 and a full-time job. The mortgage banker suggested he would be a perfect candidate for the USDA loan program. In qualifying areas — right here in the Miami Valley — buyers can qualify for this zero money down program. But, there are lots of fees associated with buying a home, right? Well, yes … and no. Joe
little less. In the offer, I asked the seller to cover my buyer’s closing costs, points and/or prepaid items. (These are costs associated with the loan and differ based on circumstances). In this case, my buyer asked for assistance in the amount of $3,500 from the seller. After a little countering back and forth on the purchase price, Robin Banas my buyer and the seller came to Real Estate Today Columnist terms. Once an accepted offer is reached, the banker will require and I searched high and low for money from the buyer for the the perfect home to meet his appraisal. In this case, that needs. Once we found it, I wrote amount was $350. Joe also the offer. This home had been opted to have home inspections listed for a little while and com- for which he paid $320. So far, parable homes were selling for a Joe is out $670.
“We wanted to make this process as painless as possible for Joe,” said Kurt Eberhardt of American Mortgage Service Company. “At closing we rebated the entire $350 appraisal fee, so he received that back at closing. Additionally, there was a reduction in the mortgage amount of $225.20.” Thus, they balanced his outof-pocket expenses versus his rebates and reductions to $94.80. That, to me, seems like a happy ending to a lovely story, but it gets even better. Joe’s mortgage payment is $125 less per month than his cost of rent and that amount includes his taxes and insurance costs. He is now a home-
owner, with more square feet than his two-bedroom rental, and has a two-car garage along with a fenced-in yard for his puppy to play in. If you think owning a home is out of your reach you may want to think again. For more information on financing you can contact your local, hometown banker. To begin your home search, you may contact your local real estate professional. For a free sheet with 10 points on how to prepare for home ownership you may contact Robin Banas at Bruns Realty Group at 332-8537 or email me at rbanas@brunsrealty.com.
Interior designers can be priceless if you find perfect fit the cosmetic to-go-withs that are part of designing the interior of a home. And, yes, that is all true, but good designers will go way beyond that. A good professional designer is worth her weight in gold. Most states have a certification process for interior designers, helping ensure that they are trained, wellversed and continually learning the latest and the best there is to offer for your home, since maintaining a design license requires continuing-education hours. So let’s see what exactly a designer does. He envisions plans
and dresses spaces in ways that make them attractive and functional. A client’s lifestyle is incorporated into the home with items that complement the architecture. If the designer is brought into the project early enough, she can ensure that the details, like electrical outlets, doorway widths and heights and even air vents, fit into the scheme and design. Is it going to cost much? Well, not really. There are two ways to go about hiring a designer. One is to pay an hourly fee, and this fee ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per hour. If just help in
arranging a room or selecting colors is what you are looking for, then an hourly fee is the way to go. Another choice, particularly if you are hiring the designer to help you from beginning to end, is to purchase the furnishings through him. The fee is included in the price of the furniture and, in this case, you really won’t feel any more pain of payment. How do you find your perfect designer? There are several ways. You can browse through design magazines and find pictures of rooms that attract you, then search for the designer’s names in
the credits. Hiring that designer works well if he is in your city, but could get expensive if from out of town because you would also be responsible for travel and lodging expenses. Another way is to interview designers in your area. After a bit of conversation and discussion about your needs and what the designer’s thoughts are, you and the designer will know if the fit is good — or not. A third way is to call your local chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) for suggestions.

that homeowners and contractors can be fined for using an unlicensed person. One thing to hammer out is who buys and pays for supplies, whether it’s paint and drywall or tile and countertops. “On bigger jobs I try to supply everything,” says Teicher. “My philosophy is that this work should be relatively stress-free for the customer. If they’re paying me to build something, they shouldn’t have to worry about anything. I also don’t want to have to run out to the hardware store during the day. I will have all the necessary parts on hand. That makes the job move smoother and quicker.” Teicher says that with online shopping, clients sometimes want to buy materials, though it’s more challenging for him. One of his clients saw a $300
farm sink on eBay that typically sells for $1,500. “I refused to install it because I don’t know its quality. I don’t know what I’m in for when it arrives. Will it be the right size? The right product? Will I need extra parts?” To a homeowner, it may not seem like changing your mind on a lighting fixture is a problem. But it can be, and it may cost you extra. “If someone wants recessed lights, we have to know that in advance,” Teicher says. For bathrooms, a large vanity might have one long fixture with eight bulbs, or two smaller fixtures instead. That means placing different electrical boxes in different places. Teicher prefers that the plumbing, lighting fixtures and appliances are picked out
toward the beginning of the job. “I don’t like doing things on the fly,” he says. “There are too many moving parts. The wiring and plumbing roughs have to be in the right place.” Get a contract and make sure you agree with everything in it. Teicher provides his clients with a detailed estimate, including a scope of work, payment schedule and list of who supplies which materials. Permitting fees are excluded. Setting up clear expectations at the start will help your project move forward with ease, as will choosing a contractor with personal and technical skills. Keeping your initial vision and budget in mind keeps things streamlined, making a smooth project for your contractor and, ultimately, you.

Too much house is too much of a headache BY DAN DEWITT Tampa Bay Times I wasn’t a total sucker. I didn’t lock myself into a crazy mortgage or buy a bunch of spec homes I couldn’t flip. But it was the boom and my wife and I got caught up in it in our own way: We bought too much house. Don’t do it, I’d like to tell anyone who might be about to make the same mistake — and, amazingly, a lot of people are. They — we, really — haven’t learned that size has little to do with happiness. We haven’t learned this no matter what you might have read about the passing of the era of monster SUVs and McMansions. The average new home in the United States is bigger than ever — bigger than during the height of the boom and more than 50 percent bigger than in the 1970s. There are some complicated reasons for this — tight credit, for example, has squeezed people out of the bottom end of the market — but very simple reasons, too. People just want more space. They still think size equals luxury. Maybe so. Maybe these buyers will convert spare rooms to offices and man caves. Maybe extra elbow room will give them extra peace and privacy. But here’s one thing I’ve learned in the 11 years since we bought our own four-bedroom, four-bathroom house that the county says covers 2,700 square feet but that feels much bigger when you’re working a carpet cleaner or a pressure washer: Space is a burden.
I know. I shouldn’t complain. And I won’t deny that in many ways I love our house — loved the ego boost when we bought it, love the history we’ve built as a family, love the wide, open views from our big back deck. But when I’m out there I can’t help but remember that I once painted the cozy little front porch of our old house in an hour before heading to work. Painting this deck fills a weekend so full that by Sunday I don’t feel as though I’ve even had a weekend. Big houses often come with big properties, which means homeowners either have to spend too much time on a mower or too much money for someone else do it. As well as spending time and money on other maintenance. But make no mistake, prospective homeowners, those costs will fall on you, and need to be included if you are looking at your big house as an investment. That was our thinking — everyone’s thinking back in 2002 — that you couldn’t go wrong putting as much money as possible into Florida real estate. I probably don’t have to tell you that it hasn’t worked out, that our house is worth less, at least according to county appraisers, than it was when we bought it. Which was about the only upside to finding out that, against all evidence, people still think bigger is better: When the time comes to sell, I should be able to find another sucker like me.

CANDICE TELLS ALL
Bathroom-lighting design is crucial BY CANDICE OLSON Scripps Howard News Service As any designer will tell you, lighting is crucial to good design. This is particularly true when lighting a bathroom. It’s the one room in a home that’s often overlooked, but improper bathroom lighting can make the bravest among us refuse to look in the mirror. My clients, Tertia and Jason, know all about that. The couple and their two sons live in a house built in 1987, and while most of the home was updated, their master bathroom remained oblivious to the passage of time. With floorto-ceiling black wall tiles, a cramped shower and no storage, the ’80s bathroom was really showing its age. And don’t get me started on the lighting. The room had one bleak overhead fixture that made showering a nightmare, while the vanity lighting was so unflattering it’s a wonder Tertia managed to put on lipstick in the morning. They wanted a bathroom that was functional — and had a warm, contemporary vibe. So, putting the principle of bathroomlighting design into play, I got set to create a modern, spalike retreat for Tertia and Jason. I started by gutting the entire space — walls came down, counters came out, tiles were scrapped. Then I painted the ceiling white, bathed the walls in soft beige and installed charcoal porcelain floor tiles with a nonslip surface.

This bathroom illustrates how layers of lighting can transform a space. From there, I laid out the fixtures and finishes. I created a gorgeous vanity by the room’s window, which was a good source of natural light. I put a soft chiffon blind on the window and flanked it with two mirrors. I then installed a counter constructed out of butterscotch polished quartz, a perfect foundation for “his and hers” cast glass sinks. These deep sinks sit on top of, and besides, new dark wood cabinetry that provides a ton of storage. Adjacent to the vanity, I created a spectacular feature wall comprised of small wooden square tiles of different depths. Against this wall, I selected a beautiful freestanding tub and a modern toilet. On the wall facing the
tub I designed a large shower out of tempered glass, more quartz, a stunning mosaic-tiled backsplash and small porcelain tiles that match the floor. Modern bathrooms can often feel cold and sterile, but the wood wall, dark cabinetry and warm quartz in Tertia and Jason’s bathroom work to offset the cooler fixtures and finishes. The best part of this project was shopping for, and installing, some amazing lights. I installed recessed lights in the ceiling and worked in spotlights above the feature wall to accentuate the wood tiles. I chose waterproof, infloor lighting to highlight the sculpted tub and lights for underneath the sinks. I also selected incandescent
silver sconces for the vanity — soft lighting that is good for when she applies makeup. But the real showstopper is the fixture above the tub — a laser-cut steel globe that allows light to be cast around the room. This bathroom is a perfect example of how good design that includes layers of light can transform a space. By using techniques such as spotlighting a feature wall and up-lighting a tub, I gave Tertia and Jason a bathroom that is ideal for their morning routine — or their evening reprieve. As I always say: “If you light everything, you light nothing.” Interior decorator Candice Olson is host of HGTV’s ”Candice Tells All.”

Landing a Job in a Digital Era W
ith people updating their social networking pages from their PDAs and downloading favorite tunes from their mobile phones, it should come as no surprise society has grown increasingly reliant on technology. Individuals about to dive into the job-seeking market may have to rethink their search skills to maximize the potential of reaching employers and companies that likely embrace a digital mind set. As of June 2009, the U.S. unemployment rate reached 9.7 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.This means there are a great deal of people — from the recently laid off to the newly graduated — who are all vying for the same jobs. Thinking creatively and exploring numerous ways of advertising oneself can help land a job in today’s market. Newspaper: The newspaper has long been a respected and effective means to find work. It is still a viable way to find jobs that are local without having to search through hundreds and hundreds of positions, which is common with online job posting sites. However, why not turn the tables and use the newspaper — and its respective online site — to advertise yourself? For a relatively low investment of time and money, you can place a classified ad that you are seeking work and briefly explain your credentials. Create a separate, free e-mail address with your favorite mail provider specifically for receiving inquiries to this advertisement. Personal Web site: Employers are short on time and many want to exert the least amount of energy possible when seeking job candidates. A personal Web page can put your information in the hands of employers in a concise and eye-catching way.The Web page can feature a brief description of yourself and also include a digital resume. Simply provide a link to your site when applying for a job. Remember, a personal Web site should be all business. Now is not the time for a pretty picture or stories about your pets. Employers are looking for skills. Be bold with buzzwords: Turn your experience into a list of buzzwords, keywords and important phrases when writing a resume. It used to be that verbs were the key to landing a job. Using strong action words should relay your experience. However, today resumes are frequently reviewed by a digital eye, rather than a human eye. This digital eye is programmed to recognize certain words and phrases that will sort your resume out from the others. Including the right keywords ensures your resume has a better chance of being picked. Use as many words as you can that were included in the original job posting — they’re likely to be programmed keywords. Most of these words are nouns that signal job titles, technical skills and levels of education or experience. Use social networking sites to your advantage: Employers and recruiters have admitted they frequently go to social networking sites, such as MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn to “check up” on potential hires — or even employees they already have on staff. Many a person has compromised his or her chances for hire by questionable material posted on their pages. Instead of being a victim of the pitfalls of social networking, use it to your advantage. Seed your pages with information that may be interesting to a potential employer by doing a little research. For example, if you know a certain company to which you’d like to apply places significant emphasis on the environment, list the “green” functions you’ve attended and the groups to which you

belong on your page. Know a hiring manager is an avid golfer? Talk about your passion for the game. It’s these little things that may get you in the door to an interview. Think differently: There are some people who want to take their job search to another level.With the market saturated by job seekers, sometimes it’s the person who has the nerve to stand out from the crowd that will land the job.Today it’s not uncommon to find door-todoor solicitation of jobs, people posting job requests on YouTube or similar sites, or even standing in a busy downtown area with a sign that says, “Looking for Work.” Others turn to popular blogs to get the word out. The more people who know you’re looking for work, the better chance you will find a position. Technology is technology: There are certain tips you should keep in mind when applying for jobs: - Scanners that look at resumes work well with these typefaces: Helvetica, Courier, Futura, Optima, Palatino, New Century Schoolbook, and Times. And they work best with type sizes in the 10to 14-point range. - Don’t send your resume as an attachment, or include any attachments, unless specified. There are always concerns about computer viruses and attachments can even get lost.
