Kids bored? Send them to summer camp For an entire generation, the term “summer camp” evokes images of canoe trips, cabins set far into the woods and dry macaroni art. While those camps still exist, for Miami County residents, there are any number of camp opportunities far closer to home. From sports camps to bible camps to educational camps, children in the area have a multitude to choose from. Coming Sunday in

Teen Leadership Troy visits RT Industries Friday for a tour during their full-day schedule. Here the group meets with Eric Beckman, who is working on a job for Nitto Denko Automotive of Piqua.

Taking an inside look Teen Leadership Troy tours the town BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com For most of the 30 members of Teen Leadership Troy, it was their first real look at their hometown, including one teen’s first glimpse of the centerpiece of Miami County. Visits with the city mayor, awarding grants to organizations, and even a media exercise at the Troy Daily News all were part of the week-long program to expose Troy’s teens to leadership in action in their hometown. On Wednesday, Troy High School senior Richard Mitchell shared that he had never visited the Miami County Courthouse, yet thanks to the Teen Leadership Troy program, Mitchell said he enjoyed getting an up close look at how a local court system works. “I never really had a reason or

TROY really the opportunity to go into the courthouse,” Mitchell said. “I definitely realized how local governments function and how important local elected officials are (in the community).” A tour of the county courthouse included watching Miami County Judge Elizabeth Gutmann hand down sentences and fines to those who strayed from the law. “Getting to sit in municipal court was great,” said Teen Leadership Troy’s Zach Roetter. “She was so witty and I liked the way she handled the cases. It was fun to watch because she was very calm.” Mitchell also said he learned “a lot about how local government” works and its impact on his daily life. “It’s been an eye-opening expe-

rience,” Mitchell said. The 30 applicants were selected to participate in the 2012 Teen Leadership Troy program sponsored by the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce. “This was a really neat experience to gain some insight on how my city runs,” Roetter said. Katie Delwiche said she looked forward to Teen Leadership Troy’s week of behind the scenes action in her hometown. Delwiche shared that her favorite part of the week so far had been awarding organizations grants from the Troy Foundation. Teen Leadership Troy used the G.I.F.T. program to assist the Troy Foundation in the distribution of $5,000 of grant money to local non-profits. “It was hard to decide who needed it the most,” Delwiche

Stocks rose for the fourth day in a row on Friday, capping their best week so far this year. It was a relief for investors after the big drops of the previous week. Stocks fell in morning trading, with the Dow Jones industrial average down almost 63 points. But they turned around after the government said businesses are restocking their shelves faster than analysts had expected. The Commerce Department said U.S. wholesale stockpiles grew 0.6 percent in April. That’s twice as fast as they grew in March and a sign that businesses are ordering enough goods to lead to increased factory production and sales. Investors had been braced for more sluggish growth. Oil fell 72 cents to $84.10 per barrel. Sure, it was pushed down by long-term economic worries. But lower energy costs help consumers. “If you had some doubts about an economic recovery, oil in the $80s is a lot better than oil at $110,” said Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investments for PNC Wealth Management in Philadelphia. Oil traded just below $110 in late February. The Dow finished 93.24 points higher, or three-quarters of a percent, at 12,554.20. It ended the week up almost 3.6 percent. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 10.67 points, or 0.81 percent, to close at 1,325.66. The Nasdaq composite rose 27.40 points, or 0.97 percent, to close at 2,858.42. Nine out of the ten industry groups in the S&P 500 rose. Only energy stocks declined, following energy prices lower. Wal-Mart Stores was the biggest gainer in the Dow, up $2.35, or 3.6 percent, at $68.22. Other companies that depend heavily on a strong economy grew too, including Intel, up 47 cents, or 1.8 percent, at $26.41, and General Electric, up 20 cents, or 1 percent, to $19.20.

Chicago teachers taking strike vote CHICAGO (AP) — Seeking more pay and smaller class sizes, members of the Chicago Teachers Union began voting Wednesday on whether to authorize a strike in the event negotiations with the city’s school district fall apart. The union believes a strike authorization would give it more leverage in negotiations with Chicago Public Schools that have dragged on since November and come as the district is facing a $700 million deficit. Voting is taking place over several days. Union president Karen Lewis said members don’t want to disrupt the start of the next school year with a strike but that a strike authorization would give the union more muscle.

Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis casts her ballot during a strike authorization vote at a Chicago high school Wednesday. Chicago teachers voted this week to consider authorizing their first strike in a quarter-century. “It’s important to take the table,” she said after now because we need to casting her ballot at a make some movement at Chicago high school.

The union decided to hold the vote now, rather than waiting for the recommendation of an independent fact-finder, which is due in mid-July as part of the contract talks. Union officials say voting before the end of the school year will ensure a better chance of getting 75 percent of the 25,500 members that they need to authorize a strike. The district has proposed a five-year deal that guarantees teachers a 2 percent pay raise in the first year of the five-year contract as well as the introduction of “differentiated pay” that could be tied to a host of criteria, including taking hardto-fill jobs and leadership positions at their schools. Behind a high-profile push by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the district is also proposing

even though we think he forgets, he is faithful and has perfect timing,” McCaul said. “This is totally a God thing, and I’m just thankful that he has allowed me to be a part of it, that grew my faith — realizing I can open my hands up to him and say ‘I trust you and do what you want.’” McCaul said touring with Casting Crowns was incredible and that the members of the group are as faithful and humble as they seem. “I was a huge fan of them for year, I grew up with them and so having the chance to go out with them, I was like ‘are you serious?’” McCaul said. “When you listen to music, you have a picture of what you think that person is like in your heart and what you hope they are like and they are just the way you think they are when you listen to their music, they are the most generous and humble people.” She also said the music, the mentality and the humbleness of the group also grew her faith. “Our music isn’t reaching people because we are awesome,” McCaul said. “It is reaching people because God is honoring his word. We just listen to him to make sure we have scriptural truth in our songs and that is what God is

doing, using his word to reach people. We are just thankful he is using us right now.” She also said the tour was like no other, because of one small aspect of each day that refocused her on her mission. “I love the way they run their tours, everyday at 4 p.m. the whole tour, crew, band members and musicians have prayer time,” McCaul said. “Mark Hall does mini devotionals and we pray over whatever church or arena we are playing at and pray over everyone that comes in that night, which helps get your heart focused back on that day.” McCaul said the prayer time impacted her in a large way to make sure that her focus on sharing God’s word with new people every day was at the base of her performance. “It was crucial in helping me remember that at each new place, those people have never seen the concert before and they have never heard these songs and that is a new opportunity for God to move,” McCaul said. Now as she closes one tour, she has been working on her own, and as she continues she will stop by Troy again to share the stage with artist Chris Tomlin. “I have been really blessed by his music for

lengthening the school day by 10 percent, said Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman Becky Carroll. The union argues the longer school day will mean a 20 percent increase in working hours for teachers. It wants a two-year deal that calls for teachers to receive a 24 percent pay raise in the first year and a 5 percent pay raise in the second year. The union also wants language in the contract that would reduce class sizes. Teachers voting at King College Prep High School Wednesday complained about unmanageable class sizes and the impact of a longer school day on tired students, many of whom already stay at school until 6 p.m. because of tutoring and other activities.

Pageant fights back PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Lawyers for the Miss Universe Organization have filed an arbitration action that seeks monetary damages from a former contestant who claims this year’s Miss USA pageant was a sham, officials said Friday. The organization filed the action with a private dispute resolution entity over the former Miss Pennsylvania USA’s claim that another contestant spotted the list of finalists on a planning sheet hours before the event was held Sunday, outside counsel Scott Balber said. A statement from the New York-based Miss Universe Organization said it is seeking remedies including monetary damages for her “ongoing defamatory statements.” Balber would not say how much money organizers are seeking. pageant also The released a statement from Miss Florida USA — the contestant Sheena Monnin claims saw the list — in which she disputes Miss Pennsylvania’s version account of the events that prompted her to step down. Monnin gave up her crown Monday, claiming in a Facebook post that the pageant had been rigged, with the top five finishers selected before the show was broadcast Sunday night from Las Vegas. Pageant organizers immediately denied Monnin’s allegation and claimed she had actually stepped down because she disagreed with the pageant’s decision to allow transgender contestants. Earlier Friday, Monnin told NBC’s “Today” show that she was standing by her claim that Miss Florida USA confided in her that she’d seen a list of finalists Sunday morning.

years and I have seen him in concerts many times, so opening for him is crazy,” McCaul said. “Anyone that has listened to his music can have a sense that it will be a night of workshop — it is amazing to watch the spirit move throughout the room. I am expecting that and so excited and honored.” More than anything next week, McCaul had one wish for the performance at Hobart Arena. “I am just praying that God will meet with us and use the songs that I am bringing and especially Chris’ songs to bring glory to him and minister to people’s hearts,” McCaul said. “It’s going to be an incredible night.” As for the future, McCaul said she is just going to keep writing. “I just hope that I can keep writing songs that encourage people and encourage people to pour themselves into Jesus. I’m excited to see what God is doing,” McCaul said. She also said with a giggle that there will be a surprise coming this fall and to keep checking her website www.lindsay mccaul.com for the announcement.

Erwin helps raise money for Concord Elementary Erwin Chrysler-DodgeJeep helped to raise $1,450 for Concord Elementary School with Chrysler brand’s Drive for the Kids program. The fundraising event was held May 18 in conjunction with the school’s carnival event. One hundred twenty participants earned a $10 contribution to the school from Chrysler brand by taking a brief test drive in a Town & Country, the company’s award winning minivan. Erwin ChryslerDodge-Jeep supplied the vehicles, and volunteers from the dealership were on hand to assist in the fundraising drives. “Drive for the Kids is a

PERSPECTIVE

AS I SEE IT

Tom Dunn Troy Daily News Columnist

Trying out something different for a change Not long after John Kasich was elected governor of Ohio, I attended a meeting of superintendents from around the state that was led by the executive director of the educational organization to which we all belonged. During our meeting he apprised us of the governor’s “new direction” for education. There was a great deal of experience sitting in the room that day, so this new direction was little more than a repackaging of the same old political rhetoric that we had all heard many times before. So, cynics that we had all become, the common feeling in the room was, “Here we go again.” After listening to the nonsense for nearly an hour I decided to ask, “Are we, as a professional organization, ever going to stand up and speak out against what we all know is wrong, or are we just going to once again politely maintain our silence, pretend that what comes out of Columbus makes sense, and continue to blindly follow the very people we know have no idea what they are talking about?” The answer I received was sobering. Our executive director, a man I respect very much, suggested that to take such an aggressive stance would be political suicide; that at least now we (educational organizations) are invited to sit at the political table to try to reduce the damage caused by poorly conceived legislation. He explained that, while he agreed with my assessment that many of the decisions are being made in a vacuum with little chance of success, if our organization would denounce them as I suggested, we would be summarily dismissed from future political discussions resulting in even less control over the decisions that impact us. So, in other words, our choices are to keep our mouths shut and try to minimize the damage or to speak up and risk being kicked to the curb. Now, isn’t that a heck of a proposition? How sad is it that the goal of the people who actually know a little bit about educating children is nothing more than trying to minimize the damage caused by the people making the decisions? As depressing as the answer was, I knew it to be true. So, our executive director has spent much of his time in the months since testifying at legislative hearings and lobbying with legislators in an attempt to limit the damage being done to education by political mandates. That was the day I decided to begin writing the articles the Troy Daily News so graciously runs. I also decided that instead of politely nodding at state-level meetings while our “leaders” take us down still another dead-end road, I would stand up and tell them they are wrong in what they are saying. I now take advantage of every opportunity I am given to speak out against the ridiculous laws constantly being implemented in the name of “improving education.” Professional organizations may have no choice but to maintain the status quo in order to protect their special interests, but we as individuals can certainly step outside the fray in the hope that we can make a difference. Maybe if enough of us point out the obvious fallacies we are being sold, the public will finally stand up and scream, “Enough!” I may be incredibly naïve in thinking that will happen, but maintaining the status quo makes no sense. And, really, what can it hurt?

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP London Evening Standard on Syria: The latest ratcheting-up of tension over in Syria has led to unprecedented international condemnation of the al-Assad regime. Yet the reality of the situation remains depressingly unchanged: the regime is not giving up and is unlikely to be forced out except by international military intervention — which will not be forthcoming. Certainly the massacre at Houla was horrible even by the standards of this conflict: more than 100 people killed, many of them young children. They join the estimated 13,000 Syrians who have died in the past 15 months, most at the hands of the regime. Despite Bashar Hafez al-Assad’s claims, the

main responsibility in Houla clearly lies with his forces, the only ones with the heavy artillery and tanks that appear to have inflicted most of the deaths. Yet their pursuit of rebel fighters suggests the gravity of the incipient civil war that Syria now faces. Away from atrocities like Houla or the shelling of Homs in February, armed insurgency and savage repression are the daily reality on the ground. The UN Security Council’s response was its toughest condemnation yet, a heartening development given that Syria’s ally Russia had blocked previous tougher declarations. Its language about protecting civilians is not so far from that used in advance of military

intervention in Libya last year. And yet this time there is almost no international appetite for military action. The only concrete peace plan is that of the UN/Arab League envoy Kofi Annan, which is for a ceasefire and talks. A ceasefire should be the first step: the priority is to prevent more civilian deaths. Yet the current force of 250 UN/Arab League observers is clearly woefully inadequate: they made no difference to the tragedy unfolding in Houla. The international community must now find a way to beef up that peacekeeping effort. A civil war will not only result in many more deaths: as fighting in parts of Lebanon already suggests, it could destabilize the whole region.

Celebrating three years of marriage and firsts This coming Wednesday my husband and I will celebrate three years of marital bliss. On June 13, 2009, Ryan and I got hitched in a small park with our closest friends and family. We wrote the wording for our ceremony, wrote our own vows and shared our love with the people nearest and dearest to our hearts. Then, we hopped on a plane and spent an amazing week-long honeymoon in Portland, Ore. It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 1,100 days since we placed a ring on each other’s fingers and said “I do,” probably because so much has changed over the last three years. For starters, we spent more than three quarters of our “newlywed” phase as a couple expecting their first child. That’s right, just under two months of becoming husband and wife we also found out we were going to be someone’s mother and father. The next nine months were spent with me in both a hormonal rage and a frenzy to eat every pancake and drink every slushie in sight. It wasn’t my proudest

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist moment. So not only were we dealing with the whole “getting used to be legally bound to each other,” we also were preparing to bring another life into this world and were trying incredibly hard not to kill each other in the process. They say the first year is always the hardest. But it wasn’t anything compared to the second. We celebrated our first wedding anniversary with a short dinner at a favorite Indian place while my mother babysat our beautiful, month-old baby, Pearyn Elyse. It was the first time we’d both left our bundle of joy, which meant our first anniversary was the last thing

on our mind. We spent the next 12 months not only figuring out how to be a better husband or wife to each other, but how to just be a mother and father. Despite it being the second year of our marriage, it was our first year as a family of three. You know what they say. The first year is always the hardest. Our third year of marriage has been good to us. It’s brought new careers, a new home and unfortunately, a toddler entering her terrible twos. Our darling little girl has turned into a 2-year-old monster. She throws tantrums, fits and cries when she doesn’t get her way. She already tries to pit my husband and I against each other, appealing to daddy’s soft side by giving him her sweet smile and telling him “I love you more daddy.” On our anniversary two years ago we were sitting nervously at a dinner table, checking our phones every five seconds to see if something was wrong with Pearyn.

Now, we send text messages to each other while we’re lying in bed because we’re scared to wake the tiny, sleeping beast between us because she just couldn’t stand to sleep alone tonight. Our third year of marriage brought about our first year as parents of a talking, tantrumthrowing toddler. They say the first year is always the hardest. I can’t help but wonder when we’ll finally celebrate a wedding anniversary that won’t secretly be the first anniversary of something else. As far as I can see, we’ve still got a whole lot of firsts headed our way before it’s going to be just us, celebrating just our marriage. It’s a blessing to have so much beautiful chaos in our lives. And with our fourth year of marriage just around the corner, I can’t help but smile knowing what is ahead of us. Amanda Stewart appears Saturday in the Troy Daily News. This column is brought to you by the next big first headed her family’s way.

Day pairs cars, oldies music Cruise-in, concert to benefit three organizations BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@dailycall.com Fountain Park will be a happening place to be, Daddy-O, next Saturday, June 16, when a car cruisein and a performance by the oldies group Gas Pump Jockeys will take visitors back in time, whether it’s through the polished shine of a souped-up hot rod or early rock ‘n’ roll tunes. And the only thing that could make it better is that all of the proceeds from the two separate, but related, events are going to three organizations: Miami Valley the Bethany Hospice, Center and the Piqua Heritage Festival. Fountain Park will first play host to the Miami Valley Corvette Club’s Car Show and Cruise-in, which takes place between 2-6 p.m. Registration for the show will begin at 1 p.m. The entry fee is $10, and with the fee show participants

PIQUA will get free admittance into the second event taking place later that evening. Starting at 7 p.m. inside Hance Pavilion, the annual Piqua Heritage Festival fundraiser will start with a performance from the locally known music group The Gas Pump Jockeys. The group will play until 9:30 p.m. Admission for the concert is $5, and children under 12 get in free with adult admission. Tickets will be available at the car show or the pavilion gate, which will open at 6 p.m. for the concert. All of the proceeds from the car show are going to Hospice and the Bethany Center and the concert’s proceeds will go to the Piqua Heritage Festival, said Steve Greggerson, this year’s Piqua Heritage Festival chairperson and one of the organizers of the two events.

This is the first time either the MVCC or Piqua Heritage Festival has used Fountain Park for an activity of this nature. “It’s just a nice place, shady, comfortable and you don’t have to worry about traffic,” Greggerson said. “Everyone felt like this was a real good venue for the show.” About 150 cars are expected to turn out for the cruise-in, which is free to the public. The car show is open to all types and classes of vehicles and not just Corvettes. Trophies will be awarded in 12 classes at the car show. Food and drinks will be available for purchase from Boy Scout Troop 76 and Young Life of Miami and Shelby counties, and the Lockington Volunteer Fire Department will sell sugar waffles. The annual Piqua Heritage Festival fundraiser has traditionally been a dinner, but this year organ-

izers wanted to try something different and invite the public, so they decided to host a concert, Greggerson said. He said the Gas Pump Jockeys, who are out of Columbus, are a great group of guys and they play songs from the earlier years of rock ‘n’ roll. “They do lots of audience interaction and they are just a real fun group of guys to have,” he said. “They dress up in old service station uniforms and they use a big backdrop of a service station and it comes from my era. … They play all the old, standard rock ‘n’ roll hits.” Greggerson said the great thing about both events are the causes the proceeds will benefit. “The big thing is we are going to be raising money for organizations that we all feel strongly about,” Greggerson said. “They have served us well in this community.”

Ex-sheriff gets 2 years probation Prosecutors ‘shocked’ by sentence BY KATHY LEESE Ohio Community Media

Dean Kimpel smiles as he stands next to his lawyer, Mike Rumer, after hearing he will not get any jail time during his sentencing in the Shelby County common pleas court Friday. Auglaize County. When asked what he would like to say to Shelby County residents about the events of the past two years. Kimpel replied, “I gave 40 years of my life to Shelby County.” He declined to answer other questions and drove away in his truck. Following sentencing in Shelby County, Kimpel’s attorney, Michael Rumer of Lima, spoke with the media. “There was no violation of public trust” by Kimpel, he said. He told reporters the judge had imposed “the appropriate sentence” and said the use of law enforcement computers “has been criminalized.” “The man has been 41 years in some form of law enforcement,” he said of Kimpel. “You don’t just wipe that out.” He added, “My client is doing fine.” Rumer said the Ohio Attorney General’s Office “never had any….regulations” regarding the OHLEG computer system.” It’s like going on Facebook….it’s just a matter of punching in from any computer site,” Rumer said. In fact, Rumer alleges that 85 percent of law enforcement in Ohio uses the system for personal reasons. During the sentencing in Shelby County Common Pleas Court on Friday, Lindeman did not address Kimpel’s offense. He asked Rumer if he had anything to say regarding his client. Rumer reviewed Kimpel’s military service and law enforcement history, including service with the Sidney Police Department, Lima Tank Plant and Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. “He has garnered accolades,” Rumer said. “The strongest punishment he can receive is resigning (as sheriff).” Rumer said that a pre-

sentence investigation indicated Kimpel “doesn’t believe he did anything wrong. I want to ask the court to consider no imprisonment,” Rumer said, asking the judge instead for community control sanctions (probation) and “no local jail time.” “Dean has learned his lesson. There will be no repetition by Dean Kimpel” involving crime, Rumer said. He also noted that Kimpel’s wife has been diagnosed with cancer and he is looking for a job. “I have stressed to Dean this is unacceptable conduct,” Rumer said in regard to Kimpel’s alleged wrongdoing. Lindeman asked Kimpel if he wished to comment and Kimpel said he did not. Lindeman told those present that he had reviewed the pre-sentence investigation and had considered all factors in passing sentence. He then told Kimpel he was sentencing him to two years community control sanctions and he will not be able to pursue a law enforcement position until after the probation is completed. He also ordered Kimpel to pay a $1,000 fine and court costs within 12 months. Kimpel was told that if he violates the probation, he faces nine months in prison. Kimpel also was ordered to have no contact with Van Fossen, who had accused him of sexual assault. Nasal and Assistant Prosecutor Tony Kendell, special prosecutors in the case, had recommended Kimpel be forced to resign from law enforcement for life and be unable to have a Concealed Carry (CCW) permit. However, Lindeman did not impose those sanctions, allowing Kimpel to

SIDNEY — Former Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel escaped prison time Friday when visiting Judge Robert Lindeman sentenced him to two years probation on a felony charge involving unauthorized use of a computer or telecommunications device. Also Friday, a charge of sexual battery against him in Auglaize County was dismissed. Certain restrictions requested by the prosecution were not imposed by Lindeman, which may allow Kimpel to eventually return to law enforcement and for record of his case to be expunged. While the prosecutors were “shocked” over the outcome, Kimpel was obviously pleased he did not get jail time and smiled broadly when the Miami County judge handed down the sentence. Disposition of both cases against Kimpel brings to a close a long, drawn-out saga that saw him removed from office and replaced by John Lenhart as interim sheriff. Nearly two years ago, former Sheriff ’s Deputy Jodi Van Fossen accused Kimpel of sexually assaulting her at her home in Wapakoneta and he was indicted last September on one count of sexual battery. He was also charged in Shelby County with five counts of unauthorized use of the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG) computer system, later amended to one count of unauthorized use of a computer or a telecommunications device. Kimpel was suspended from office following his indictment in Auglaize County after Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal, special prosecutor in the case, requested his removal from office by the Ohio Supreme Court. It was the first time in Ohio that the law was used to suspend a sheriff. Although Kimpel made no comment in Shelby County Common Pleas Court, he spoke angrily following a hearing in

possibly return to law enforcement in the future and allowing him to maintain a CCW. Lindeman was not available Friday afternoon to comment. In Auglaize County, a hearing followed the Shelby County sentencing. The sexual battery charge against Kimpel was dismissed and bond was released. Retired Judge Sumner Walters, a visiting judge from Van Wert County, granted the dismissal. Nasal said he recommended dismissal of the case because the victim (Van Fossen) “felt the psychological trauma that would be experienced by her and her family outweighed the value of her going to trial and the likelihood of success.” Nasal said that Kimpel’s felony conviction can be expunged, calling it a “sealing of (the) record,” in three years. Kimpel can apply to Shelby County Common Pleas Court for the expungement. Nasal noted, however, “it can be unsealed by any law enforcement agency” if he applies for work. Nasal said he was “stunned” over the outcome of Friday’s sentencing. “I was shocked and disappointed. It was my expectation that he would receive some period of incarceration. I did not think he would be sent to prison because the judge’s hands were tied because of the new sentencing law. But I did think he would get an intermittent local sentence,” Nasal said. “I’m stunned and shocked.” Nasal noted “this case is all about public trust and the violation thereof. If it were not about the violation of public trust, he would still be in public office today. His conviction (and) subsequent forfeiture of his office is all about public trust.” Shelby County Prosecutor Ralph Bauer was unable to be reached for comment Friday concerning the county’s possible intentions to recoup money from Kimpel, including salary he received while suspended from office. Kimpel submitted a formal letter of resignation Friday to the Shelby County Board of Elections, the Shelby County Commissioners and County Republican Party Chairman Chris Gibbs.

Gospel artists flock to Atlanta to advance careers City known as ‘gospel’s Hollywood’ ATLANTA (AP) — Christian rapper Lecrae first came to Atlanta as a teenager for a youth conference in 1999, but what ultimately convinced him to lay down roots here was its thriving gospel music scene. “Atlanta is just a musical hub,” said the 32-year-old, who moved from Houston three years ago. “There are a slew of producers, engineers, artists and writers. There’s a wealth of outlets here, and it’s a community of artists who are here as well. That’s a major reason why I came here.” Atlanta has become a key place of business for many of the heavyweights in gospel and Christian music, like Marvin Sapp, Mary Mary, Kirk Franklin and Jason Crabb. They flock to the city known to some as “gospel’s Hollywood” because of its flourishing R&B and hip-hop scene, an evolving television market, a variety of Christian and gospel record labels, and a plethora of mega churches. Some of the industry’s best, such as Francesca Battistelli, the group Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin and Dottie Peoples, reside in the city or in the suburban areas. “Atlanta is becoming like the new Los Angeles,” said Sapp, the chart-topping gospel singer from Grand Rapids, Mich. “Everybody and their

momma are shooting all types of films here,” he added. “It’s becoming a regular hotbed for the entertainment field. And because of that, gospel is coming here as well. People are connecting. It’s becoming a very viable place for gospel artists to excel and be successful musically.” Recently, the 43rd annual Dove Awards took place at the popular Fox Theatre in Atlanta for the second straight year. The show, which celebrates Christian and gospel music, had all the glitz and glamour of a high-profile awards show, with more than 250 media outlets on the red carpet. The rising support of the genre in Atlanta is what convinced Gospel Music Association organizers to move the Doves to the city in 2011. The ceremony started in Memphis and was held in Nashville, Tenn., for more than four decades. GMA board chairman Mitchell Solarek said organizers felt Atlanta has a larger media reach with more radio and television outlets to support the show. With GMC — formerly the Gospel Music Channel — based in Atlanta, Solarek called the move a “no brainer.” The network aired the awards in April. “Even though Nashville is touted as the music capital of the world, the media is not as broad there as it is in

Atlanta,” he said. “We wanted to take this (awards show) to a market that was broader than it was in Nashville, while still achieving our goal of musical diversity and still reach the bulk of our members. And Atlanta is just a drive away.” That sounds good to the ears of Georgia officials, who have worked hard to promote the state as an entertainment destination. They offer one of the highest tax credits in the United States — up to 30 percent to those looking to produce shows, music videos and commercials in the state. “We are developing strategies to aggressively promote Georgia’s strengths in the music industry including its wealth of talent, expanding digital media infrastructure, production facilities, live music scene and music education opportunities” said Lisa Love, the director of music marketing and development for the Georgia film, music & digital entertainment office. “The gospel and contemporary Christian-oriented assets in all of those areas will continue to be invaluable in the positioning of Georgia as an entertainment industry destination,” she continued. Lecrae has made it his destination. Since he has lived in city, the rapper has

He also co-founded his own record label with Ben Washer, Reach Records, which is based in Atlanta. Other labels launched by artists based in Atlanta or in the state of Georgia include Christian rock group Third Day’s Essential Records; singer/rapper Canton Jones’ Cajo International; Dottie Peoples’ DP Muzik Group; and televangelist Creflo Dollar’s Arrow Records. Warner Music Group’s Taseis Distribution is located in Atlanta as well. “It’s easy to come here because of all the industry people are already here,”

said Henry Panion III, whose record label, Audiostate 55 Entertainment is based out of Birmingham, Ala., and is distributed through Taseis. “Atlanta has become an entertainment draw, and gospel is following suit.” Atlanta is also host to BET’s “Sunday Best,” a gospel talent competition that awards the winner with a recording contract. It’s hosted by Franklin along with judges Mary and Donnie Mary McClurkin. Tyler Perry’s sprawling TV and film studio has also become a player in Christian music. Perry’s inspirational-based stage

plays and movies have provided an avenue for gospel singers to gain exposure. Tamela Mann, known as Cora in Perry’s plays, movies and TV show “Meet the Browns,” is also a gospel singer and won a Dove Award last year. “If you look at the underlying story of his movies, there’s always something that talks about the goodness of the Lord,” said Crabb, who won artist of the year at the Doves in April. “When you have a state like Georgia that’s spiritually deep-rooted, more are going to want to be a part of what he’s doing.” Georgia has the most mega churches in the country behind California, Texas and Florida, according to the Hartford Institute for Religion Research’s recent database. The number of mega churches in Georgia gives artists a chance to perform in front of congregations ranging from 2,000 to 20,000. Several high-profile pastors such as Andy Stanley, Creflo Dollar and Paul Morton normally offer live music without a traditional setting of a choir before a preacher’s sermon. Lecrae feels he’s in Atlanta at the perfect time. “It’s been really good here,” he said. “Just seeing people within the music industry from mainstream and even what others call secular music come together to use their talents for the Lord, it’s great.”

Pentagon halts free guns for police Officials order state audits The Defense Department has stopped issuing weapons to thousands of law enforcement agencies until it is satisfied that state officials can account for all the surplus guns, aircraft, Humvees and armored personnel carriers it has given police under a $2.6 billion program, The Associated Press has learned. The department’s Defense Logistics Agency ordered stateappointed coordinators in 49 states to certify the whereabouts of that equipment that has already been distributed through the longrunning arrangement overseen by the agency’s Law Enforcement Support Office. The temporary halt on transferring weapons applies to all states, agency officials said Thursday. The program provides police departments and other law enforcement agencies with military equipment ranging from guns and helicopters to computers and air conditioners and even toilet paper. The equipment is cheap or free for law enforcement agencies to acquire, but much of it comes with strict rules that prohibit it from being sold and dictate how it must be tracked. The military decided to conduct a “one-time, clean sweep” of all state inventories instead of reviewing them piecemeal, said Kenneth MacNevin, a spokesman for the federal agency. While some gear, including guns, has been stolen or otherwise gone missing

over the years, MacNevin said the reporting requirements themselves aren’t new and that the review wasn’t prompted by anything specific. “Leadership decided to make sure we have a good, full accounting for all of this,” he said. “We’re not doing this based on any thought there’s a problem. We’re doing it because accountability is accountability.” However, MacNevin said a pair of news media reports and a weekslong series of AP requests for records were factors in the decision to send letters to the states late last month ordering them to comply with program rules or face suspension from it. Only New Hampshire didn’t get a letter; State Police Major Russ Conte, the state’s liaison for the surplus program, said his office already had completed a full accounting of the equipment it has received. The Arizona Republic reported last month that the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office has stockpiled millions of dollars’ worth of equipment through the program, distributing some of the gear to nonpolice agencies, and intended to sell other property, which would violate the program’s rules. “I don’t have any info on if something triggered” the Defense Department’s recent order, Matt Van Camp, a police detective in Payson, Ariz., who coordinates that state’s program, told the AP in an email. “All I know is Arizona is 100 percent compliant on weapons inventory.”

In this May 2 photo, law enforcement and other officials examine surplus gear at Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington state as they attend an information session for a program that distributes surplus military equipment to state law-enforcement agencies. A report in March by California Watch, which was founded by the Center for Investigative Reporting, found that California police accumulated more equipment during 2011 than any other year in the program’s two-decade history. That follows the overall trend in the program, which last year doled out almost $500 million in gear, up by more than double from the year before. Tim Hoyle, another spokesman for the Battle Creek, Mich.-based Defense Logistics Agency, said all weapons will be withheld until the accounting is completed. That may be easier said than done. Most of the state surplus program coordinators who have responded to records requests from the AP say they only keep

paper records, and the few states that keep electronic records only recently made the switch from paper. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services, for instance, said it would take its staff members at least 500 hours merely to review the records requested by the AP. “There are over 800 Illinois law enforcement agencies that submit applications to the state under the LESO program,” agency employee Sunny Clark wrote. “CMS would need to go through each file individually in order to gather the records requested, which would be a difficult and time-consuming process.” In a letter dated May 24, the military notified the state of

MADRID (AP) — Spain could decide this month to ask for a bailout for its troubled banking sector, a step that would make it the fourth country in the 17member eurozone to seek help since the EU debt crisis broke out. Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said the government would not act until it has received a raft of reports on how much money Spain needs to save its banks from collapsing under the weight of soured real estate investments. An International Monetary Fund report is expected Monday, with two independent auditor surveys due by June 21. She said no decision on a bailout had been made at Friday’s Cabinet meeting. “Once the estimates of the numbers are known with regard to what the financial sector might need, the government will state its position,” she said. “But in any case, I am telling you that no decision has been made either way,” she added. Saenz de Santamaria declined to say how much the sector, hit by the collapse of the country’s real estate bubble, might need. Estimates of the cost of bailing out Spain’s banks vary greatly, from 40 billion ($49.87 billion) to as

much as 100 billon. Commenting on reports that 17 eurozone finance ministers will hold a conference call the Saturday on Spain, Saenz de Santamaria said that “no meeting is planned” but would not confirm or deny whether some kind of communication would take place. The Spanish government appears to have resigned itself to the fact that it needs a bailout to prop up its struggling banks. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has moved on from firmly stating that “there will be no rescue of the Spanish banking sector” 10 days ago to avoiding ruling out seeking external help for the banking sector of the eurozone’s fourth largest economy. Spain has been criticized for being too slow to set out a roadmap to resolve its problem. European business leaders and analysts have stressed that Spain must find a solution quickly so that it is not caught up in any market turmoil sparked by the Greek elections on June 17. There are concerns that anti-bailout left-wing party Syriza could become the largest party in the Greek parliament, putting the country’s membership of the 17-nation eurozone at risk. “What we now crucially need is transparency and trust,” said Andreas Schmitz, the head of Germany’s banking association. “Any further uncertainty, any speculation how the situation could develop is poisonous for the markets.” But others said it’s more important for Spain to correctly assess how to shore up its banking system than it is to hurry into a bailout ahead of the Greek elections. The audits that Spain’s government is waiting for are crucial to determining precisely how much capital the nation’s troubled banks need, said Mark Miller, an analyst with Capital Economics in London.

Florida that it had failed to certify that a “complete (100 percent) physical inventory” of weapons, aircraft, Humvees and armored personnel carriers was completed in 2011. The agency said it intended to suspend Florida from participating in the Law Enforcement Support Office program if the certifications weren’t received by June 22. But a Florida official who supervises the state coordinator for the program said the letter was sent in error, because the state had, in fact, completed its required annual audit. “We should be receiving a letter from LESO in the coming days formally rescinding their earlier memo,” the official, Mike McClure, wrote in a June 1 email to several colleagues. Hoyle said the letters were tailored to each state based on the information the agency is seeking. The surplus program has grown exponentially in recent years, with a record $498 million worth of property distributed in fiscal year 2011. That includes $191 million in aircraft alone and more than 15,000 weapons worth nearly $4.8 million. Military officials said the program has become more popular as law enforcement agencies sustain deep budget cuts. The sudden cutoff in the supply of free weapons is an “inconvenience,” but not a big problem, said Jeff Shadburn, Ohio’s program coordinator. Shadburn said he already had collected the information as previously required, but now he simply has to certify the information under the penalty of perjury.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

It may not be possible to please your parents Dear Annie: I am an only child who was reared by loving but extremely controlling parents. They tried to dictate my attire, my friends and my opinions. I moved away and married, but things have only gotten worse. I considered moving home to help them, as they are getting older. My husband was skeptical. He's seen me cry from the guilt trips my parents have put on me and has heard the bigoted remarks about my mixed-race grandchildren. I found an online listing for a fixer-upper and asked my folks to see whether it was worthwhile. When we drove to my hometown, I discovered that my father was already working on the yard and dealing with a Realtor. But the place was a wreck, and the backyard pool looked like the Loch Ness monster resided there. Repairs would cost at least $50,000. I knew this wasn't the house for me. Meanwhile, my father pointed his finger in my face and dared me to back out of the deal he had arranged. And then he said, in front of my husband, that I should buy the house myself and let my husband and kids make their own way in the world. That evening, my parents railed at me about my daughter's mixedrace children, saying they would never be allowed to visit. They told me I needed to dump my old friends so they could introduce me to better ones. My mom was busy trying to get me jobs I didn't want and told me I was unappreciative of their efforts. I decided that I could not live like this, and we left. My parents were furious and haven't spoken to me in six months. My cards, gifts and emails go unanswered. I am miserable, and I know this is exactly how they want me to feel. My question is: Do I still try to be the better person and send a Father's Day gift? — Sad Dear Sad: Your parents sound manipulative and difficult, and we're impressed that you turned out to be so well-adjusted. You don't owe your father a gift, but would it make you feel better to send something anyway? We suggest you handle future communications in whatever way gives you peace of mind. You have tried to please your parents and discovered that it is impossible. It's OK to please yourself. Dear Annie: I am 31 and a never-married single mother. Along with raising a happy 5-yearold, I have a small business, and I attend school part time. I'm tired of supposed well-meaning friends implying that I should marry. They ask, "Do you want to die alone?" or "Don't you want a father for your son?" I answer them with humor, but I don't appreciate the questions. Please help your readers understand that it is OK not to be interested in marriage. Not everyone wants to share a bed or a bathroom or a bank account. Many of the married moms I know are unhappy, and quite a few end up raising their husbands, as well as their kids. Being single isn't a mark of failure and doesn't require an explanation. I understand the value society places on marriage, but what happened to the value of minding your own business? — Parent in the Northeast Dear Northeast: Good luck with that. If the same friends keep making the same intrusive remarks, tell them politely, "I cannot imagine why you think this is your business." It's may be less gentle than you'd like, but it should put an end to the questions. Dear Annie: "Friend of a Young Cancer Victim" said it's a waste to have flowers at a funeral. Flowers not only provide comfort for the bereaved, but also create jobs from growing the flowers to shipping them, providing containers for the arrangement, filler for the containers, etc. Without these beautiful arrangements, some of us would be unemployed and unable to donate to those charities she champions. — Linda Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

If you can afford it, consider adopting two dogs Dear Heloise: I am writing to suggest adopting two dogs, if you can afford it. I always had one dog at a time and never thought about the dog being lonely all day, with nothing to do but eat and sleep. I was at work, so the dog was alone. No wonder I would get such a great greeting when I came home! My friend was given a dog when she already had a dog. She said it was such a difference! The dogs are both female, about the same age, and they do everything together. They play, eat and spend lots of time together. She said she would never have just one dog again. — Dorothy J., Youngstown, Ohio

Hints from Heloise Columnist If you can manage it, two dogs are a good fit. Check your shelters and rescue groups to find two of a kind! — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Barbara G. emailed a picture of her adorable pug, Mac. Mac goes for a two-mile walk every day in the park, where he loves to chase

squirrels. He doesn’t know exactly what the squirrels are, but he knows he wants one really badly! To see Mac and our other Pet Pals, visit www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise COBWEB BRUSH Dear Heloise: I buy numerous toilet brushes at the dollar store when I’m there. I keep an ample supply in the garage, and I use them on sticky cobwebs! I go around the outside and inside of my house, brushing them off the bricks, eaves and corners of windows. The toilet brush is rough enough in texture to snag the cobweb, but not rough enough to

mar the walls or paint, and they are very inexpensive. — Cindy, via email EASY ALMONDS Dear Heloise: Here’s a hint that others might like: Sometimes I have trouble chewing nuts. I toss a couple of cups of almonds in the blender and grind them up. Then I use them in all kinds of ways: in cereal, oatmeal, cake batter, pudding, smoothies, burgers — you name it. — Elsie in Port St. Lucie, Fla. P.S.: I’ll always remember your mom’s cute way of saying, “Add a blub blub” of whatever liquid she was cooking with!

HOROSCOPE Saturday, June 9, 2012 Several old, established friendships could take on new meanings in the year ahead. You and your longtime allies will find ways to be of even more help to each other, making your circle even closer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — This might be one of those days when you feel that others have more control over your affairs than you do. If you react abrasively, it will only make things rougher on you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Although social obligations might take precedence over what you’d rather be doing, try to be gracious about your displeasure without revealing your true feelings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you’re smart, you won’t introduce elements of competition into your dealings with others. There’s a chance that the odds you believe to be in your favor will be woefully pitched the other way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Know when to quit while you’re still ahead. You won’t want it said of you that you’re a person who only knows how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — When putting an important commercial deal together, don’t leave any part of it up to a verbal commitment, even those last-minute points. Make sure all details are put in writing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — If you find yourself involved with someone who is extremely difficult to get along with, try not to complicate things by emulating this person’s rotten behavior. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Sadly, unpleasant assignments will not get done on their own. It will be up to you to bite the bullet, hold your nose and take care of those onerous little duties. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be sure that all the gains you make will be proportionate to the risk you’ll take. Unless you are careful, you could have a tendency to take a big gamble on something of little value. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Instead of trying to hammer out a solution to a problem while the entire family is upset, suggest that everyone sleep on it. Tackle it tomorrow, when calmer heads will prevail. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Take care that all of your comments to or about others are not caustic and argumentative. If for any reason you’re in an angry frame of mind, you’ll not be able to express yourself lightly. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — When you start to feel a pinch in your wallet, you had better stop squeezing it. Remember, you won’t be able to blame others for all the costly spending you’ve been engaged in. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Although advancing your interests may be important to you, be careful not to do so at the expense of alienating your companions. Good friends are priceless.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, June 9, the 161st day of 2012. There are 205 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 9, 1972, heavy rains triggered record flooding in the Black Hills of South Dakota; the resulting disaster left at least 238 people dead and $164 million in damage. On this date: In 1911, Carrie (sometimes spelled “Carry”) A. Nation, the

hatchet-wielding temperance crusader, died in Leavenworth, Kan., at age 64. In 1949, Georgia Neese Clark was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be the first female Treasurer of the United States. In 1969, the Senate confirmed Warren Burger to be the new chief justice of the United States, succeeding Earl Warren. In 1973, Secretariat became horse racing’s first Triple Crown winner in 25 years by winning

the Belmont Stakes. In 1978, leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints struck down a 148-year-old policy of excluding black men from the Mormon priesthood. In 1986, the Rogers Commission released its report on the Challenger disaster, criticizing NASA and rocket-builder Morton Thiokol for management problems leading to the explosion that claimed the lives of seven astronauts.

Obama gets grief for saying private sector ‘fine’ WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama made Mitt Romney’s day by declaring “the private sector is doing fine” and opening himself to the accusation that he not the rich Republican is the one who is out of touch with reality. Obama quickly clarified his remark Friday but Republicans already had their teeth in it and weren’t letting go. “Is he really that out of touch?” GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney asked as Obama’s initial comments ricocheted through the presidential campaign. Seeking to head off any damage, Obama backpedaled and declared it is “absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine.” While there had been some “good momentum” in the private sector, Obama said, public sector

Megachurch pastor arrested ATLANTA (AP) — Megachurch pastor and televangelist Creflo Dollar was arrested early Friday after authorities say he slightly hurt his 15-year-old daughter in a fight at his metro Atlanta home. Fayette County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call of domestic violence at the home in unincorporated Fayette County around 1 a.m., Investigator Brent Rowan said. The 50-year-old pastor and his daughter were arguing over whether she could go to a party when Dollar “got physical” with her, leaving her with “superficial injuries,” Rowan said. Dollar faces misdemeanor charges of simple battery and cruelty to children. He bonded out of Fayette County jail Friday morning. “As a father I love my children and I always have their best interest at heart at all times, and I would never use my hand to ever cause bodily harm to my children,” Dollar said.

growth lagged behind, making it imperative that Congress act on his proposals to hire more teachers and first-responders. Obama’s original six-word sentence, even if taken out of context, amounted to an unforced political error. The economy is the single biggest issue on voters’ minds and a weak spot for him, given the nation’s stubbornly high 8.2 percent unemployment rate. Nearly every day, Obama finds himself having to defend his stewardship of an economy that has struggled to recover from the 2008 economic downturn and pleading with voters to stick with him because, he says, Romney would pursue policies that led to the recession. But on Friday, Obama may have given his rival an opening.

The former Massachusetts governor argued anew that Obama does not understand how to jumpstart the economy and his agenda has thwarted the recovery instead of putting millions of unemployed workers back on the job. Obama’s comments at a White House news conference were reminiscent of Republican nominee John McCain’s assertion in mid-September 2008 that the “fundamentals of our economy are strong,” just as the U.S. economy was melting down. Candidate Obama seized on those comments then. Now, as president, he was getting grief along similar lines. Romney, holding a campaign event in Council Bluffs, Iowa, said Obama’s remark was “defining what it means to be detached

and out of touch with the American people.” He said the comment “is going to go down in history as an extraordinary miscalculation and misunderstanding.” But while “doing fine” is in the eye of the beholder, Obama was correct that the job picture in the private sector is brighter than in the public sector. Since the recession officially ended in June 2009, private companies have added 3.1 million jobs. Largely because of cuts at the state and local level, governments have slashed 601,000 jobs over the same period. According to the government, corporate profits have risen 58 percent since mid-2009. Even so, by historical standards, private job gains in the last three months have been weak after such a deep recession.

Obama pressed Congress to enact parts of his jobs agenda, including proposals to help state governments rehire teachers, police officers and firefighters. Seconds after Obama made the remark, Republicans circulated the quote on Twitter and Romney seized on it about an hour later after meeting farmers. Behind the scenes, Romney aides worked furiously to push what they hope could be a shift in the campaign. The Republican National Committee posted an online video by midday repeating Obama’s comment and asking: “How can President Obama fix our economy if he doesn’t understand what’s broken?” The question was a direct rehash of the one Obama’s campaign asked voters in a very similar video four years ago.

To snag the best airfares, flexibility is key NEW YORK (AP) — To snag the best airfares, travelers need to be adventurous and willing to pick up at a moment’s notice. OK, now let’s be realistic. Most people making summer travel plans need just that: plans. They get a week off, maybe two, and aren’t going to spend hard-earned cash on a last-second whim. But great deals are still within reach for those who have even a little flexibility in choosing where and when to travel. The average roundtrip domestic ticket will cost $431 this summer, an increase of 2.6 percent from last year, according to Kayak.com. But remember: that’s an average. One trip might cost $800 while another can be found for $200. “Airfares are high but there are pockets of cheap out there,” says Seth Miller, an information technology consultant who writes a blog under

the name The Wandering Aramean. Miller does his best to beat the system by connecting in strange cities, flying at off hours and taking advantage of sales often offered when an airline adds a new destination. Here are some tips from Miller and other expert travelers on how to combat rising airfares. LAST-MINUTE WEEKEND FARES When airlines don’t fill planes for an upcoming weekend, they slash prices. Each Tuesday, they email offers for that coming weekend or the following one to fliers who have signed up online for the deal alerts. Travelers have to depart late Friday night or anytime Saturday and come back Monday or Tuesday. An added plus: weekend getaways save precious vacation days. Recent offers include: Houston to Memphis for $180, Huntsville, Ala. to

Chicago for $174, Washington D.C. to Greenville, S.C. for $157 and Charlotte, N.C. to West Palm Beach, Fla. for $240. TWITTER AND FACEBOOK Airlines are experimenting with sales on Twitter. At the forefront is JetBlue, which tweets last-second fare sales and vacation package discounts from @JetBlueCheeps. Some deals apply to just a few seats and are gone within hours. “If you find something, jump on it,” says John DiScala, who each year flies around 150,000 miles, visits 20 countries and writes about it at JohnnyJet.com. JetBlue recently tweeted a sale at 3:16 p.m.; it ended at 6 p.m. Airlines announce special sales to those who “like” their Facebook pages and sites like AirfareWatchdog offer fare alert emails (airfarewatch-

dog.com/fare-alerts/). FLEXIBLE DATES Looking to go to Paris for a week but don’t care when in the next few months? ITA Software’s airfare search (matrix.itasoftware.com) provides a calendar of the lowest fares. Just enter the departure and destination city nearby airports can even be added and then how many nights to spend there. It will find the cheapest prices for a month out from a given date. The length of the trip can even be a range, say five to seven days. CHASE THE FARE, NOT THE DESTINATION Want to know the cheapest fares from a departure city to anywhere? Check out Kayak’s explore tool (kayak.com/explore). It allows travelers to search multiple airlines at once this way. A map pops up with all the destinations under a set budget point.

Searches can be done for a particular month or for all of summer. The query can be narrowed by activity beach, golf, gambling, skiing or by continent. ODD CONNECTIONS Fares to Hawaii might be steep. But connecting though another city with a sale to Hawaii, could save a lot of money. Use AirfareWatchdog’s “fares to a city search” (airfarewatchdog.com/cheapflights/to-a-city) to see if there are any less expensive indirect routes to your destination. Instead of flying from, say, Boston to Honolulu, it could be a lot cheaper to book two separate tickets the first between Boston and Houston and the second from there to Hawaii. “If you can save $1,000 per couple and get two cities for less than the price of one, it’s a no brainer,” says George Hobica, founder of AirfareWatchdog.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Kyle Busch Wins at Eldora Kyle Busch stayed out of trouble to win fellow NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Tony Stewart’s dirttrack charity race Wednesday night at Eldora Speedway. Wrecks reduced the 26car field to 15 cars for the final 16 laps of the Prelude To The Dream on the half-mile oval owned by Stewart. Kasey Kahne was leading until he hit Bobby Labonte in Turn 3 after Labonte spun out. Busch was running second at the time, and took advantage for his first Prelude victory after four top-five finishes. Stewart, the defending Sprint Cup champion, finished second. Busch started second and ran near the front during the entire latemodel race, which was run at 40 laps for the first time instead of 30. “I felt like our car’s always been the best car in the long run, especially through traffic,” Busch said. “It was definitely exciting getting through traffic. That’s what makes the place fun.”

■ Commentary

The Replacement David Reutimann will replace suspended driver Kurt Busch at Pocono Raceway, but Busch’s future with Phoenix Racing appears murky, at best. Busch was suspended by NASCAR on Monday for verbally abusing a reporter following the Nationwide Series race at Dover. NASCAR said his behavior was in violation of the probation Busch was placed on last month, and he’s not eligible to return to a NASCAR-sanctioned event until June 13. Tommy Baldwin Racing will let Reutimann drive Busch’s No. 51 Chevrolet on Sunday at Pocono. There is no Nationwide Series race this weekend, so Busch was not scheduled to drive for Kyle Busch Motorsports, his younger brother’s race team.

Driver Kurt Busch (54) talks next to his car before qualifying for the 5-hour ENERGY 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race June 2 in Dover, Del.

Winning? Not so much Kurt Busch needs more than a weekend off BY PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer Kurt Busch is the Charlie Sheen of NASCAR. Both have made a wreck of their careers. The latest outrage from Busch got him barred from the trip to Pocono this weekend, giving him plenty of time to cut his grass, or clean out the garage, or fix that broken faucet. But the most worthwhile project on his to-do list should be figuring out how to stay on the track once he gets back on it. In case you missed it which would’ve been hard, since the whole thing was captured on video NASCAR’s mercurial former champion had another of his all-too-familiar meltdowns, this time when asked a relatively benign question by a respected motorsports reporter who’s been around the garage for years. Busch answered with a none-too-subtle threat, and the governing body responded with what passes for a harsh penalty by its usually lenient standards. Hey, Kurt, why don’t you sit this one out, came the word from NASCAR headquarters. In fact, we insist on it. “Actions detrimental to stock car racing … violation of probation … verbal abuse to a media member.” Well, that about covers it. At least give NASCAR credit for doling out a one-race suspension, since they are usually the kings of vague probationary periods that don’t amount to much of anything. But, since Busch already was on probation for behavior even more bizarre, the stock car suits should’ve leveled an even harsher sanction. A half-dozen races would’ve been

more appropriate, giving Busch a good chunk of the summer to consider what a jerk he’s been, time and time again. Busch responded with a pseudoapology through a public relations firm, but it may not be enough to save a job that was supposed to be nothing more than a fallback position to begin with. Not even halfway through their first season together, Phoenix Racing owner James Finch has just about had enough of the 2004 Cup champion and, really, no one can blame the boss. According to Finch, Busch’s fiery impatience on the track has already caused him to wreck 14 cars this season, three of them beyond repair. For a low-budget team like Phoenix, that’s inexcusable. But it’s his behavior beyond the actual racing that is the biggest concern. Busch, for all his talent, has simply become too much of a loose cannon for anyone to put up with. He can’t seem to get out of his own way. “Here’s the deal: Quit wrecking the cars, get a good finish, be nice to people,” Finch told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio on Tuesday. “That’s not real hard to do.” For Busch, it apparently is. Once the suspension is done, Finch said he’ll let Busch hang around on a race-by-race basis. But this partnership feels like it’s sucking on its last breath, which leaves one of the sport’s most talented drivers facing the very real possibility that he’ll soon be without a job, right when he should be in the prime of his career. Busch is just 33 years old, with a resume that already includes 24 wins, 15 poles and 170 top-10 finishes. But his act seems a lot older. “Hopefully if we can get Kurt’s mind right, we can win some races,” Finch

said. “If we can’t get his mind right so we can race into the future, then I’ll go do something else. It’s just that simple.” Whether this is the wake-up call that Busch finally heeds is anyone’s guess. But there’s little reason to believe he’s going to change his ways. He certainly didn’t after breaking up with one of the biggest names in motorsports, Roger Penske, after last season. Busch called it a mutual decision, but it had all the makings of an owner dismissing a malcontent employee. The Captain runs a tight ship, and that philosophy was constantly at odds with Busch’s hair-trigger temper. Last season alone, he unleashed a rage-fueled rant on his team radio that drew widespread attention, sparred with two reporters in Richmond, and finally was caught on camera verbally abusing an ESPN reporter during the season finale in Miami. NASCAR levied a $50,000 fine after the Miami video was posted on YouTube. Penske pulled the plug about a week later. Busch insisted he was ready to go because he needed “to put the fun back into racing.” Apparently it never occurred to Busch that none of the major teams would want someone with his baggage, no matter how good he is. He had to settle for a ride with Phoenix Racing, which simply doesn’t have the money to run with the big boys. Busch figured he’d bide his time for one season with Phoenix, then land one of the plum jobs opening up in 2013. Well, it’s not much fun essentially going from the Yankees to the Royals, racing for a team that has little chance of winning each week. Through 13 races, he hasn’t finished higher than ninth. He’s led only six laps.

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Steve Addington insisted he’s not naturally drawn toward working with volatile, abrasive drivers. It’s just the nature of the job in the Cup garage. “Somehow it works out that way,” said Addington, laughing. “That’s just part of it. You just take what opportunity is there. I’ve worked with a lot of great drivers and I feel like I’m with the best one in the garage right now.” That would be Tony Stewart. The three-time and 2011 Sprint Cup champion is the third prickly and prosperous driver Addington has worked with after crew chief stints with Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch. Addington hopes to make this relationship stick. Addington took the job only eight days after Stewart won the NASCAR championship and then fired crew chief Darian Grubb. Addington and Stewart had forged a relationship from their four seasons together at Joe Gibbs Racing. While having a friendship helped ease the transition, there was still a dose of pressure on Addington. He was, after all, the crew chief who had to prove himself as a winner to an organization still in the glow of an amazing 2011. “It was a little awkward,” Addington said. “This was a championship team here. It’s a different situation for everybody; for the guys, the organization, myself. You’ve got a lot of standards to live up. I’m ready for the challenge, it’s just a different situation than most people have seen in the sport in a long time.” Grubb was told midway through the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship that he was going to be let go at the end of the season. Stewart had gone winless through the first 26 races of the season, but opened the Chase with back-toback wins to become a sudden title contender. Stewart’s decision was final even after the team won the championship. Grubb was gone and soon landed at JGR as Denny Hamlin’s crew chief. Hamlin and Grubb have two wins and are fourth in the standings.

On the track to Twitter, wild week for IndyCar series By The Associated Press There’s a lot of attention on IndyCar right now, some of it for the right reasons the competition, the stars and the story lines and some it for the same old problems that seem to plague the series. Last week was a perfect mix of the good and bad for IndyCar, which sailed out of a successful Indianapolis 500 hoping to capitalize on a nice television rating and strong buzz around the series. Then the excitement

was snuffed out two days after the race by roughly 140 characters on Twitter. IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard tweeted last Tuesday that a team owner was trying to get him fired, proving that some things never change for a series that’s constantly held back by internal bickering and personal agendas. So just like that, the talk shifted from Dario Franchitti’s third Indy 500 victory to the poisonous politics of openwheel racing. Even worse, when the

opportunity arrived for the attention to shift back to the race track, things literally fell apart. Curious fans who tuned in Sunday to see IndyCar return to Detroit for the first time since 2008 were subjected instead to a 2-hour delay because portions of the Belle Isle street course began to crumble. The surface came apart in chunks, and the severity wasn’t realized until James Hinchcliffe drove over a pot hole that sent his car sailing into a tire barrier. The sold-out crowd head-

ed for the gates as crews furiously worked to fill the gaps in the track with expoxy. When the race finally resumed, it was shortened 30 laps to create a 15lap shootout to the finish. It may have made the best out of a bad situation, but reaction to the move was decidedly mixed. There was praise for track officials for the work they did in getting the track ready to race again, and winner Scott Dixon wanted only to “focus on the positives.” “I’d like to give a lot of

credit to everyone at IndyCar and the Detroit staff for getting the track back in shape so we could race,” Dixon said. “The final 15 lap shootout was exciting for me.” But there also were complaints. It was unclear, even to the broadcasting team as the race prepared to go green, whether IndyCar was indeed going to cut it from 90 laps to 60. On pit road, teams and drivers seemed unsure who was allowed to make what changes to their tires.

Won’t Have Another NEW YORK (AP) — I’ll Have Another’s bid for the first Triple Crown in 34 years ended shockingly in the barn and not on the racetrack Friday when the colt was scratched the day before the Belmont Stakes and retired with a swollen tendon. “It’s been an incredible ride, an incredible run,” trainer Doug O’Neill said. “It’s a bummer.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Josh Tomlin scattered eight hits over seven innings, Johnny Damon hit a tworun homer and the Cleveland Indians beat St. Louis 6-2 Friday night to send the Cardinals to their seventh loss in 10 games. Tomlin (3-3) pitched shutout ball into the seventh, when he allowed a two-run single to pinchhitter Matt Adams. He threw just 76 pitches, improving to 4-0 in interleague play, and singled to improve to 3 for 5 at the plate in his big league career. Tomlin was coming off his poorest outing this season, when he allowed five earned runs over six innings in a 7-4 loss to Minnesota on June 2. Former Indians pitcher Jake Westbrook (4-6) gave up four runs three earned and eight hits in six innings. He struck out seven and walked one. Michael Brantley singled twice to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. The Indians have won three of four. Cleveland went ahead for good in the first when Asdrubal Cabrera and Jason Kipnis hit one-out singles, Carlos Santana followed with an RBI double off the left-field wall and Brantley hit an RBI groundout. Damon homered in the seventh off Maikel Cleto, Damon’s second this season.

I thought he looked great on the track, and then cooling out, you could tell the swelling was back.” O’Neill said he conferred with owner J. Paul Reddam and they contact-

ed Dr. Jim Hunt, who examined the horse. “… Immediately we got Dr. Hunt over here and he scanned him and he said it was the start of tendinitis in his left front tendon and you can give him 3-to-6 months and start back with him,” O’Neill said. “It was unanimous between the Reddams and my brother and I and everyone at the barn to retire him.” Reddam confirmed that, saying: “We’re all a bit shocked, but we have to do what’s best for the horse. And if he can’t compete at the top level, he’s done enough.” After the news conference, O’Neill led I’ll Have Another out of the deten-

tion barn and walked him down a path toward the barn where the colt had stayed for most of the time he had been at Belmont.

What everyone wanted Nadal, Djokovic to meet in expected title matchup PARIS (AP) — Here comes the French Open final everyone expected and, except for other players, wanted: No. 1 Novak Djokovic, one victory from becoming the first man in 43 years to win four consecutive major championships, against No. 2 Rafael Nadal, one victory from becoming the only man to win seven titles at Roland Garros. How’s that for high stakes? Djokovic is undefeated in his past 27 Grand Slam matches, which includes beating Nadal in the finals at Wimbledon in July, the U.S. Open in September, and the Australian Open in January. Nadal has won 51 of 52 career matches at the French Open; only he and Bjorn Borg have won the clay-court tournament six times. Never before have the same two men met in four Grand Slam finals in a row, so it’s apt that no matter who wins Sunday, his achievement will be monumental. “I have this golden opportunity to make history. This motivates me. It really inspires me. I’m really grateful to be in this position, obviously,” said the 25-year-old Djokovic, who owns five Grand Slam titles to Nadal’s 10. “And look, I’ll try to prepare for that match and get my hands on that trophy, if I can.” Won’t be easy, that’s for sure. Both Djokovic and Nadal breezed through their semifinals Friday. If this stage of a Grand Slam tournament is supposed to provide a challenge, it did not which probably isn’t all that stunning in Nadal’s case, but was rather striking when you consider Djokovic faced 16-time major champion Roger Federer and won 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 in a match that wasn’t really that close. “His mental state and preparation for this match was excellent,” said Djokovic’s coach, Marian Vadja, “and this has to happen against Rafa.” Nadal found himself flying by the seat of his pants OK, white shorts on one point against No. 6 David Ferrer, somehow winning the exchange despite falling on his rump. Otherwise, he was completely in control en route to 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 victory. “I’m surprised,” said Toni Nadal, Rafael’s uncle

Nadal won 6-2, 6-2, 6-1. and coach, “because we were expecting a very difficult match against one of the best players in the world.” Make no mistake: Ferrer is a formidable opponent, not someone who got hot for a few weeks to sneak into the semifinals. He was playing in his third Grand Slam semifinal. He already won two clay-court titles this year. And it was Ferrer who upset Nadal in the 2011 Australian Open quarterfinals, stopping his bid for a fourth consecutive Grand Slam title the milestone Djokovic now seeks. Nadal won all 15 sets he’s played this year at Roland Garros, losing only 35 games, the lowest total for anyone reaching a major final since Borg lost 31 on his way to winning the 1980 French Open. Nadal has won 71 of 72 service games, saving 18 of 19 break points. Pretty close to perfect. “I really don’t like to

talk about perfection, because that, my opinion, doesn’t exist. You can always play better,” said the 26-year-old Nadal, whose only loss at the French Open came against Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009. “But, sure, I am very happy the way that I am playing. Probably today was my best match of the tournament.” With Ferrer serving at 1-1, 30-all in the second set, Nadal produced a masterpiece, turning a gaffe into a highlight. During a point that lasted more than 30 shots, Nadal’s feet slipped out from under him as he sprinted toward the net. On the slow-motion replay, it’s easy to see that his eyes never left the ball, even as he crashed to the court. Suddenly sitting yes, plopped on his backside, right there in the middle of the most important claycourt stadium in the world Nadal raised his left arm to slice a backhand drop

shot that prolonged the point and drew Ferrer forward. As if that weren’t impressive enough, Nadal popped up like a jack-inthe-box in time for the next shot, a volley-lob that arced over Ferrer’s head and settled near the baseline. Ferrer, no slouch himself in the speed department, got to the ball, but his forehand landed in the net. That gave Nadal a break point, and he converted it in much more conventional fashion, staying upright until Ferrer simply pushed a forehand long. “Both of us were playing more or less the same type of tennis, but then he started to become more and more aggressive,” Ferrer said. “There was nothing I could do to fight back.” Federer appeared to feel that way, too, particularly after Djokovic broke him four times in the second set.

PARIS (AP) — When Maria Sharapova’s opponent in the French Open final, Sara Errani, was 12 years old, she struck out on her own, leaving behind her family in Italy and heading off to Nick Bollettieri’s famed tennis academy in Florida. Far from her parents, and not yet able to speak English well, Errani stuck it out for about 10 months, crying nearly every day. She called home a lot. “I knew she was determined and focused,” her mother, Fulvia, said after watching Errani win her first Grand Slam semifinal, “so I knew she would figure things out.” Now 25, Errani most certainly has. She figured out she needed to go back to Europe, eventually finding a new coach and a place to train in Spain. She figured out how to overcome the limitations of a 5-foot-4 frame in a sport filled with taller, harder hitters such as the 6-foot-2 Sharapova, a three-time major champion who will be standing across the net Saturday at Roland Garros the title at stake. Mostly, Errani figured out that it made no sense to worry about whether she would ever be good enough to beat the best and instead focused on always improving. “It’s not a question of believing or not believing. I don’t think about that. I just think about playing. I just think about going on court and giving my all. And whatever happens, happens. I’ve never thought, ‘I can’t beat someone in the top 10.’ I play and give my best, and if I don’t win, I don’t win,” Errani explained. “But I don’t think about whether I can win the title. I just

think about the next match. If I win, then I think about the next one. And if I win again, then the next one. But I don’t think too far ahead. That doesn’t help a player. It’s better to take it a step at a time.” Sharapova is a global superstar and her story is well-known: born in Siberia, moved with her father to Florida as a kid, worked with Bollettieri, too. “I don’t remember crossing paths,” Sharapova said. “We have never played against each other, but I certainly know she’s a dangerous player because of the way she’s played here and because of the way she’s performed on clay this year.” Errani’s tale is far less familiar; she’s not even all that famous in Italy. Until a quarterfinal run at this year’s Australian Open, Errani never had been past the third round at a Grand Slam tournament. Until this week, she was 0-28 against players ranked in the top 10. Now she’s 2-28, thanks to victories over No. 6 Sam Stosur in the semifinals, and No. 10 Angelique Kerber in the quarterfinals. Those upsets followed wins over two past French Open champions, 2008’s Ana Ivanovic and 2009’s Svetlana Kuznetsova. And before she even sets foot on court Saturday, Errani owns a major title: She teamed with Roberta Vinci to beat Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in the women’s doubles final Friday. That means Errani can become the first player to win the singles and doubles events at the French Open since Mary Pierce in 2000.

Devils must rely on home ice

New Jersey Devils’ goalie Martin Brodeur makes a save as Los Angeles Kings’ Trevor Lewis appraoches in the third period during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals Wednesday in Los Angeles. The Devils won the game 3-1.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — There was a time when home-ice advantage wasn’t the New Jersey Devils’ best friend. If either the rival Rangers or Flyers were in New Jersey, there would be as many New York or Philadelphia jerseys in the crowd as Devils’ colors. Not anymore, at least not in the playoffs this year. The Devils have been tough at the Prudential Center, known as the “The Rock,” and they need one

more big effort Saturday night in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final to keep their championship dreams alive and prevent the Los Angeles Kings from capturing their first NHL title since coming into the league in 1967. It’s a tough task. The Kings haven’t lost on the road since the playoffs started two months ago. They are 10-0, including two overtime wins here in Games 1 and 2. A bounce or two here or there, and New Jersey

might be the one leading the best-of-7 series 3-1. That’s wishful thinking for Devils fans. The reality is New Jersey has some momentum coming off a 31 win on Wednesday night, and they need to keep winning or else. New Jersey is 6-4 in the playoffs here after posting a 24-13-4 mark in the regular season. It’s gotten their fans behind them like never before. “We’re winning, that’s the bottom line,” Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur

said of the fan support. “I think we’ve played hard and got some success. It’s hard when you don’t win for our fans to be involved and do what they’d like to do, especially the last few years when we played the Rangers and Flyers (in the postseason). It’s tough in this area to play some rivals if you don’t have success, their fans take over the building. But we got the success this year and that made a big difference why we feel a lot more comfortable playing.”

Post 43 ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 of the second. Post 43 starter Steven Blei — who was masterful all game long — wasn’t rattled, though, inducing a grounder back to himself and tossing to Mitchell at the plate to keep the game scoreless. But a curveball got away from Mitchell, bringing in the game’s first run and keeping two more runners in scoring position. “It was just frustrating giving up the first passed ball with a guy on third all year,” he said. Blei got the batter to hit a fly to left-center, and Blakely ranged over from center to make the catch then fired home. Mitchell snared the ball up the line a little on one hop and quickly applied the tag to nail the runner trying to score to end the inning. “That throw had me looking straight into the sun, too. It was really hard to see,” Mitchell said. “I couldn’t see it, and then suddenly it was right in front of me and I got it.” Blei appreciated the help. “That was nice,” he said. “It’s good to know they can make a play like that behind me. That’s why (he didn’t get rattled with the bases loaded and no out) — I knew the defense could back me up.” “We’ve had about four runners thrown out at the plate like that this year by various guys,” Troy coach Frosty Brown said. “The guys are seeing that they can do it.” Aside from that inning, Blei didn’t allow a Hillsboro runner to get past first base. He allowed three hits and no earned runs, walked one, hit one and struck out six. He also got eight ground-ball outs — six to shortstop Dylan Cascaden. “Blei pitched a good ballgame,” Brown said. “He only threw 91 pitches and really challenged them a lot. That’s kind of the way we’ve been all year for far.” Blakely led off the top of the third with a double and

Troy Post 43’s Dylan Cascaden runs the base Friday against Hillsboro. scored on an RBI single by Cascaden to tie the score, but a 6-4-3 double play kept any more harm from being done in that inning — and Post 43 couldn’t score in the fourth after putting runners on second and third with one out. But Nick Sanders walked to start the Troy half of the fifth, and backto-back singles by Cascaden and Nick Antonides loaded the bases with none out for Mitchell in a must-score situation. And he delivered. Mitchell drove it back

up the middle for a tworun single, and after Colton Nealeigh loaded the bases again and Hillsboro recorded a pair of outs, Dereck Dunham did the same thing for two more runs to make it a 5-1 game. “We’ve been in that kind of situation a lot. Breaking the game open like that gets us going,” Mitchell said. “It gives us some momentum, and we just don’t stop once we get that.” “It’s hard to get through our lineup without getting hit,” Brown said. “Any one

of these guys can hurt you. We feel pretty confident in all of them. We got some big hits when we needed them tonight — and also got robbed a couple of times. We’re growing up a little.” “That single made up for it (the passed ball) a little,” Mitchell said. “I may have given it up, but I got it back.” Troy picked up two more runs in the top of the seventh on a bloop RBI single by D.J. Hemm and with Mitchell — coincidentally enough — scoring on a wild pitch. And Blei did the rest, setting down Hillsboro one-two-three for the first time since the first inning to finish things off. “It was nice to be able to relax and just pitch (after the four-run inning),” Blei said.

Veteran judge sits in eye of Sandusky storm

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 American Ball Park, which opened in 2003. Detroit’s first series in town since 2001 and a postgame fireworks show to Motor City music drew the Reds’ fourth sellout crowd of the season. Cincinnati’s Chris Heisey made two diving catches in center field, the second robbing Fielder of a hit. Fielder went 0 for 4 with a walk, ending his 14-game hitting streak. Some of the Tigers took early batting practice, working on their swings while getting an idea of how the ball carries at the unfamiliar ballpark. Answer: It really flies. Votto’s homer in the third inning made it 54 straight games with at least one homer at Great American, the longest ongoing streak in the majors. There hasn’t been a homerless game in the ballpark since July 29. During his 14-game streak, Votto has gone 28 of 51 (.549) with three homers and eight doubles.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — He muscled the Jerry Sandusky case to trial in a breakneck seven months and navigated through dozens of pretrial motions and complicated grand jury secrecy issues. In two days, he managed to seat a jury in a case that has attracted worldwide publicity. Judge John Cleland was brought in from a county 80 miles away to preside over Sandusky’s child sexual abuse case in December, after all the judges in Centre County disqualified themselves. In the months since, the 64-year-old jurist has displayed a textbook judicial bearing on the bench, exhibited a scholarly bent in his written opinions and a shown a firm determination to avoid any unneeded delays. On Friday, he ruled

against defense motions for dismissal of some or all charges, again keeping the process moving. One of the people who didn’t make the jury said he noticed how Cleland didn’t want them to stand up when he entered the room, and tried to put them at ease. “He’s really a great judge, and that’s what a lot of the jurors were talking about,” said James Ellis, a retail manager who was among the last people dismissed before the panel was set Wednesday. Opening statements by the defense and prosecution begin Monday in the trial of Sandusky, 68, the former Penn State assistant coach who is accused of sexual abuse of 10 boys over 15 years, allegations he has repeatedly denied. The scandal toppled longtime

coach Joe Paterno, who trustees say didn’t do enough to report abuse allegations, and also resulted in criminal charges against two administrators. Sandusky has come to trial very fast, and jury selection proceeded quickly, said Widener Law School professor Wes Oliver, who is not involved with the Sandusky case but has followed it closely. Cleland’s rulings to turn down a string of defense attempts to delay the trial on grounds that there was not enough preparation time do not constitute the sort of issue that would normally be likely grounds for reversal on appeal, Oliver said. “Stylistically, temperamentally, he’s ideal for this case, no question about it,” Oliver said.

Miami Heat forward LeBron James (6) shoots against Boston Celtics forward Brandon Bass (30) during the fourth quarter in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals Thursday in Boston. Miami won 98-79.

Can King James deliver an encore? MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James has no idea what he will do for an encore. He offered a simple vow instead. “I won’t regret Game 7,” James said. There may not have been another sentiment the Miami Heat would have preferred hearing more as they prepare to host the Boston Celtics Saturday night. James is coming off a season-saving 45-point, 15rebound, five-assist effort to force Game 7. The winner will head to Oklahoma City to start the NBA finals on Tuesday night and the loser heads into an offseason of decided uncertainty. “Win, lose or draw, I’m going to go in with the mindset like I’ve had this whole season,” James said. “And you know, we’ll see what happens.” A series that has gone back and forth Miami won the first two games, then lost three straight before James carried the Heat to a win that denied Boston the East crown on Thursday night comes down to an ultimate game. For the Heat, it’s a chance to play for the ring they couldn’t win last year in the opening act of the Big Three era. For the Celtics, it’s probably one last chance for their current core to reach the NBA’s mountaintop. “This team has been about adversity all year long, you know, so this is not going to be nothing new,” Celtics forward Paul Pierce said. “It’s been tough for us all year long to get to the point where we would be at, and why wouldn’t it be tough now? Winning is hard. Trying to get to the finals is hard. And this is as hard as it gets. And I think we are prepared for it.” It’s the 111th time a best-of-seven NBA series has gone the distance. Home teams are 88-22 in the previous matchups. That means little to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. The last time Boston was on his team’s court, the Celtics sputtered offensively and still managed to leave with a win, taking Game 5 to put Miami on the brink. The Heat are still there. Only this time, so are the

Celtics. “Both teams will come out with an appropriate level of urgency,” Spoelstra said. “And that’s the beauty of a Game 7. We fought and earned the right to have this on our home court. We don’t take that for granted and we don’t assume that that will take care of anything. We’re going to have to play, compete at the same urgency level we played last night. And we’ll also have to play well and probably have to beat them when they’re at their best.” If James has the same game he had Thursday, the Celtics will have to beat him at his best. The reigning MVP put on a show in Game 6. The expression on James’ face barely changed all night after makes, after misses, even after a drink got dumped on him while leaving the court not long after the final buzzer of Miami’s 98-79 win. He made 19 of 26 shots, that 73 percent success rate the best he ever posted in a playoff game. His 30 first-half points matched an NBA season high. His 45 points were second-most in Heat playoff history. “Sometimes superstars get hot,” Pierce said. “He’s been playing unbelievable,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. “One of the best this league has ever seen,” Heat forward Chris Bosh said. Of course, if the Heat lose on Saturday, that performance will soon be forgotten. For the Celtics, this will be their seventh Game 7 in the last five years they’re 4-2 in the previous ones, including a home win over Philadelphia one round ago. James is averaging 34 points per game in the series, the Celtics are getting both outshot and outrebounded, their best shooter in Ray Allen has been slowed by ankle pain and Pierce is shooting 34 percent. Here they are, one win from the finals anyway, even after all that and getting written off plenty of times during the regular season. “Nothing’s been easy up until this point. You know, can’t expect it now,” Celtics forward Kevin Garnett said.
