Buckeye bash held at park The Southern Ohio Flying K9s have taken the game of fetch to a new level. This past weekend, the group hosted the Buckeye Bash, a competition of discdoggers, at Kyle Park. Dogs use their owners’ bodies along with their own legs to propel after multiple Frisbee discs. Other tricks include owners catching their dogs and throwing the disc from under their legs. Between 20-40 dogs and owners competed in each event over the two days. Competitions included UFO local novice and pro toss and catch, novice and pro freestyle, and Ashley Whippet Invitational Cash & Catch (winner gets 25 percent of the collected entry fees).

Kona Ice vice-president Corinne Gray prepares a tropical shaved ice treat for a customer recently in Troy.
Couple set with sweets truck BY JOYELL NEVINS Ohio Community Media jnevins@tcnewsnet.com With summer in full swing, thirsty customers can catch a “flavorwave” with Todd and Corinne Gray’s new Kona Ice truck. Unlike the quintessential ice cream truck, the Tipp City couple’s truck has a tropical theme, sans any quirky driver. No “the Entertainer” here – the Kona Ice vehicle has an entire soundtrack of summertime hits. “We are out to change the image of the ice cream truck,” Gray said. The Kona Ice truck specializes in shaved ice, which according to Corinne, is

On the side of the truck is the “Flavorwave,” with 10 different flavored syrups, including pina colada, very cherry, goofy grape, and the ultimate favorite: tiger’s blood. “Kids love that name,” Gray said with a laugh explaining that it is actually a combination of strawberry and blue raspberry.

A Tipp City man will spend the rest of his life in prison after a judge sentenced him on numerous felony sex crimes Monday in common pleas court, including 20 rape charges involving a girl who was under the age of 10. Joel W. Pratt, 34, faced a total of 20 life sentences in addition to more than 20 additional years in prison after an April court hearing where he entered a plea of no contest and was found guilty of 20 rape charges, three charges of pandering sex-

Judge Christopher Gee sentenced the man to life in prison without the possibility of parole for each rape count, which are to be run concurrently. In addition, Gee sentenced him to eight years for the two pandering sexually oriented matter charges and 18 months for the three pandering obscenity charges; all to be served consecutively to all other

Troy council’s safety and health committee recommended council approve placing a five-year dedicated property tax levy on the General Election ballot in November. The levy would raise $350,000 annually to offset Troy’s costs for participating in the Miami County Public Health organization. Council members met June 5 to propose solutions for raising the $1 million in general funding the city of Troy has lost as a result of state budget cuts. One of two preferred solutions proposed was having a health district property levy placed on the ballot for Troy voters in November. Troy’s $330,000 contract to Miami County Public Health is one of the services paid for by the general fund. Taking inflation into consideration, director of public service and safety Patrick Titterington said the city needs to raise $350,000 to pay for the service. Committee chair Lynne Snee asked if Titterington had an estimate of how much the average household would pay under the levy. Titterington responded that a household with a home valued at $100,000
TROY
would pay about $24 per year. Committee member Alan Clark said he wanted to clarify to voters that all money from the levy would go to the Miami County Public Health, not to bolstering the city’s general fund. Robin Oda of the committee said she found fault in making citizens shoulder the costs of state budget cuts. “Where does the trickle-down stop?” she asked. Titterington said Troy residents also are state residents, and with Troy’s budget already cut bare-bones, the city has no choice but to turn to residents to make up the difference in funding. Council will vote on emergency legislation declaring the need for the levy at the next council meeting, slated for June 18. The following step will be approving a resolution or ordinance requesting the levy be placed on the ballot, which will require a suspension of the rules July 2. Council is working on a tight timeline, needing all legislation and certification to be submitted to the Miami County Board of Elections by Aug. 8.

missions. They have also partnered with several schools and day cares, including Bethel High, Brandt Kindercare and Oakwood Elementary. “We went through 350 kids in an hour and a half,” Gray recalled. “We keep things moving.” The kids’ reaction to the vehicle was one of the deciding factors in the Grays owning a franchise. It actually started when they wanted to open their own busi-
ness, and Todd had a great love for frozen custard. As they explored sweet options, the name ‘Kona Ice’ kept coming up. So finally, Todd and Corinne visited the corporate facility in Florence, Ky. “We went out with someone on a truck, and once we saw how excited the kids got, we were hooked,” Gray said. Its not just kids that come running when the Kona Ice truck pulls up to the curb, though. “Adults love it as much as the kids,” she said.

This was clear when the Kona Ice truck showed up at Stonespring in Vandalia. It started with just a few senior residents, but eventually almost everyone came out to the truck. Those who couldn’t, sent a staff member to fetch them some flavored ice. “That was a real heartwarmer,” Gray said. The Kona Ice truck has become a family business, as Todd and Corinne recruited their youngest son, Bryant, to help out with service as well.

• CONTINUED FROM A1 host yet another Republican presidential candidate in Miami County. “It’s exciting for Miami County and we are glad they are coming here,” O’Brien said. “They know the Miami County Republican Party is here to support them, and we will do the work to motivate and educate our voters. They stop by because they know Miami County Republicans will be hard at work and will help pass out signs and knock on doors for votes come November.” Potential vice president candidate, Senator Rob Portman also will be part of the Romney entourage. Portman is part of a long list of vice-president candidates Romney is considering for his campaign. O’Brien said, “It’s exciting to have Rob Portman traveling with him. He’s an excellent choice.” Also accompanying Romney’s tour will be Miami County’s own 8th District U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, according to Brittany Bramell, Boehner’s press secretary. O’Brien said he was sure it wouldn’t be the only campaign stop in the months to come for all potential candidates in the I-75 area.
“They know that Miami County and Western Ohio is important to (former Massachusetts) Gov. Romney as well as statewide — Ohio is a big swing state so I’m sure there will be more visits to this area, especially in and around the I-75 area,” O’Brien said. It will be the first visit to Troy for the presidential hopeful after K’s Hamburger Shop’s owner Marcia Ryan approved to open the diner on a Sunday for the first time in its own history. “We are excited even though we don’t know what’s going on,” Ryan said with a laugh. Ryan’s family diner is no stranger to hosting candidates — especially Republican candidates. Former Republican candidate Rick Santorum visited K’s Hamburger Shop earlier this year trying to rally Ohio Republican votes for his primary bid for the presidential Republican ticket before conceding to Romney. It will be Romney’s third stop on Sunday in Ohio. According to reports, Romney will kick-off Father’s Day with a pancake breakfast in Brunswick, then travel to Newark for an outdoor rally before his stop at K’s early evening. After Romney’s stop in Troy, Romney is expected to travel south to Cincinnati for a private fundraiser.
Charges • CONTINUED FROM A1 felonies, and one count of having a weapon while under disability, a third-degree felony. After the arraignment, Polhamus was released on his own recognizance by Judge Robert Lindeman, who set a pretrial conference for June 18. Authorities arrested Polhamus during an April 18 raid on his property, 5345 E. U.S. Route 36, east of Fletcher. During the raid law enforcement officials seized several semi tractors and trailers and at least one other vehicle from the property. Police also confiscated a firearm and several financial documents, too. Detectives and deputies with the Miami County Sheriff’s Office executed the search warrant after gaining information that a semi-tractor at the property was reported stolen out of Coman County, Texas. The semi tractor was initially impounded after inaccuracies were found with the vehicle’s VIN number, according to the sheriff’s office. Polhamus was convicted of similar
crimes in 2004 and was sentenced to three years in prison. In that case, Polhamus was convicted of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity and conspiracy to engage in corrupt activity, both felonies. In the previous case, some of the stolen tractors and trailers came from as far away as Florida. Polhamus was found to have “used tools to disassemble or alter the stolen vehicles to conceal their identity,” court records show. The suspect’s wife, Delena J. Polhamus, 59, and another man, Michael A. Haines, 54, of Spring Valley, who is a truck driver for C&P Transportation, were both charged with a single count of felony receiving stolen property. C&P Transportation is the business that Polhamus runs at the property. Delena Polhamus is out of jail on a recognizance bond and Haines, also charged with a count of possession of drugs, posted a $20,000 bond the day after authorities arrested him. Both of those cases remain pending in common pleas court.

• CONTINUED FROM A1 this month. The June 26 trial of Kenneth H. Brandt, 40, was continued Monday, but has yet to be rescheduled. Brandt’s attorney, Stephen King, public defender, filed a motion with the court seeking to withdraw himself from the case after he stated his client no longer seeks to retain King as an attorney. At a hearing in court Monday, Judge Robert Lindeman denied Brandt’s request for a new attorney. Brandt has been charged with 31 rape charges. Eleven of those firstdegree felony charges involve a victim under the age of 10 and each one is punishable with 15 years to life in prison. The remaining 20 rape counts are punishable by up to 11 years in prison. The children involved in the case were 9, 10 and 12 when the alleged sexual abuse was first discovered. Brandt, who has pleaded not guilty to all of his charges, remains behind
bars at the Miami County Jail on an $800,000 bond. Authorities raided Brandt’s Troy home in March after the allegations were made and confiscated several items, including computers and media devices. All three of the victims are staying with relatives and are being supervised by Miami County Children’s Services, according to the Troy Police Department. Meanwhile, the case against Jason M. Zwick, 29, of Beavercreek, remains pending in common pleas court. Zwick has been charged with three counts of rape. Zwick has entered not guilty pleas in his case. Authorities believe Zwick, in addition to one other man, responded to Brandt’s online advertisements about child prostitution, according to the Troy Police Department. Brandt also has been charged in Montgomery County with sex crimes related to the Miami County case. That case remains pending.
Crimes • CONTINUED FROM A1 sentences. Pratt told the judge there was nothing he had to say in his defense at the hearing. “There is nothing I can say to defend my actions, your honor,” Pratt told the court. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Tony Kendell, in asking Pratt to be imprisoned for the rest of his life, told the court it was one of the worst cases he’d handled. “This child is scarred for life,” Kendell said. “It will always be with her. … Sick and twisted, that is how I would describe it. This defendant can’t be helped no matter how many resources are thrown his way.” In handing down the sentence, Gee said said it was difficult to find the right words for the crimes Pratt committed, but called the crimes “despicable” and “reprehensible.” “You are incapable of living in decent society,” Gee said, noting that Pratt displayed “an eagerness to exploit children.” Gee added that if Pratt was ever released from prison he would continue to “prey on children.”
Court documents state Pratt committed the rape offenses at his Tipp City home from Sept. 14, 2010, through Sept. 4, 2011, while the remaining five felonies transpired last year between October and December. Pratt was taken into custody Dec. 22 by sheriff ’s after federal deputies authorities and an investigation revealed the rape and child pandering allegations. A search warrant executed at Pratt’s home resulted in a computer being seized as evidence and sexually explicit photographs being recovered from the system’s hard drive. Some of those images were taken off the Internet, while other photographs appeared to have been taken by Pratt, according to the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office. For each rape charge Pratt faced a sentence of between 15 years to life in prison. In a hearing prior to the sentencing, Pratt was labeled as a tier III sex offender, which will require him to register as a sex offender routinely for the rest of his life should he ever get out of prison.

Edison graduates complete Ohio Peace Officer training For the Troy Daily News
PIQUA
Edison Community College’s Peace Officer Academy welcomed 15 new graduates in May following their completion of the 19-week training program. Graduates of the program met for six days each week since January, totaling 620 hours of training. The curriculum of the program is certified by the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission (OPOTC) and covers all aspects of law enforcement training including administration, firearms, subject control and investigation. “The Basic Police Academy has proven to be a great partnership between the college and the community. Local law enforcement came to us because there was no local training source,” said Shirley Moore, dean of business and workforce development. “In turn, many of our graduates have become officers in our three county service area, though they are certified to seek an officer position anywhere in the state. Academy graduates can then continue their education at Edison and earn an associate’s degree by taking convenient classes on campus or online.” Edison offered the first Basic Peace Officer Academy in 2003 and the two classes that graduated this spring were from the 22nd and 23rd academies. Throughout its nine years, the program has graduated 324 students, 87 percent male and 13 percent female, with 73
percent under 30 and 14 students have been 40 or older. Students in the program have come from 13 different counties, with 51 percent from Miami County; 20 percent from Darke County; and 15 percent from Shelby County. Over the years, 79 percent of the Edison graduates who passed the state exam have become sworn officers in 47 different police agencies in the state. Edison began the basic peace officer academy at the request of local law enforcement and continue to have instructors who are current and retired officers. Thirty-five instructors worked with the current graduates. The next academy will begin July 30 and application packets are due June 21. Interested students must be 21 years old and eligible to own a weapon. Both a morning and evening academy will be offered. Edison also is recruiting for its first Private Security Basic Training course, which will use the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission curriculum and include 20 hours of firearms. The course will meet for 120 hours over eight weeks. For more information or to apply for the upcoming academy, contact Helen Willcox at hwillcox@edisonohio.edu or 937-778-7962.

Question: Where should the 2013 Troy Strawberry Festival be held?
Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.
Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.
PERSPECTIVE
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Longmont (Colo.) Times-Call, on U.S. “kill list” program: The president of the United States oversees a top secret program that places suspected terrorists, including Americans, on a “kill list.” They are essentially marked for death. President Barack Obama, it was revealed in a New York Times story, personally approves the kills, which are carried out by drone strikes in other countries, such as Pakistan and Yemen, and are often messy affairs in which people who happen to be nearby also get blown up. Should Americans feel good about this? No, they should not. Should Americans allow the president the power to personally single out American citizens as suspects, pass judgment on them and carry out death sentences in secret? Should Americans accept that what amounts to assassinations are conducted by their government based on criteria and legal positions that are kept secret? Should Americans approve of their government conducting targeted killings of suspects in countries with which America is not at war? No, they should not. The kind of unrestrained authority Obama has claimed for himself violates basic democratic principles. The Founding Fathers knew well the dangers of the kind of unchecked power Obama has seized, and the president’s kill list is yet another stark example of how due process and liberty have eroded since 9/11. Should Americans demand an end to the kill list program? Yes, they should. The Greenwood (Miss.) Commonwealth on Mitt Romney: Mitt Romney officially sewed up the Republican presidential nomination with his victory in Texas. But on a day when the attention should have been focused on him, it was deflected — by Romney’s own fault — to the flaky Donald Trump, who flirted with a campaign for the presidency himself before it became evident that few outside the billionaire’s sycophants took his candidacy seriously. Trump … has kept his name in the political headlines by attaching himself to Romney’s campaign and by perpetuating the completely discredited claim that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and thus is serving in office illegally. Trump’s ignorance, though, is not the issue here. The issue is what Romney’s reluctance to disassociate himself from Trump says about the GOP candidate. Romney, it is becoming clear, is cautious to a fault. He is so skittish about alienating any segment of the GOP base… that he constantly straddles the fence not only on serious issues but on non-serious ones, such as this persistent nonsense about the president’s place of birth The Blade, Toledo, Ohio, on Army standards: With combat operations in Iraq at an end and the U.S. presence in Afghanistan winding down, a lot of soldiers are marching home. These cutbacks, which began last year, have consequences. The active-duty Army is slashing its forces from 570,000 at the height of the Iraq war to a planned 490,000 in 2017. … The Army also is much more selective in recruiting. At the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, recruits with records of misdemeanors and even felonies were accepted. Last year, the Army took no recruits with misconduct convictions or drug or alcohol issues. A leaner Army won’t harm national security. But it is fair to conclude that some well-behaved kids who have dreamed of being in the Army may not get the chance to serve. And kids with troubled pasts will not be able to redeem themselves in its disciplined environment. It is good that a decade of war is ending, that the Army is raising its standards, and that it is saving money in an era of soaring deficits. Yet as Johnny and Jane comes marching home today, when jobs are still few, an asterisk must be added to some of the hurrahs they may hear on their arrival.
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP
Festival needed more seating To the Editor: I, too, have attended the Strawberry Festival almost every year, and yes this was a good one, except … there was nowhere to sit while eating. I also attend the Heritage Festival every year and they
have two or three tents with picnic tables. I know a lot of people sat on the curbs or in the grass, but as we get older it is not as easy to get back up off the ground. I liked the wide street this year. The ground was even and open, plus there were no hills to climb. I would suggest having the festival at the same place next year, but put up some tents
for shade and a place to eat. We were lucky this year with the weather, but where do people go to get out of the sun? We might buy more to eat if we had a place to sit down. We can hold only so much in our hands while we are trying to eat. I will look forward to seeing what next year brings.

DOONESBURY
Drop the dust pan and kick up some dust What a true summer weekend I had. I have to tell you, I’m not really sure how people get bored around here in the summer time. There is such an incredibly large number of things to do and a large percentage of it costs little or no money. I was lucky enough to get both days off this weekend during the day. I was super excited and kicked off my weekend right with an awesome 9-mile run Saturday morning with a few of my runner girls. The sun wasn’t too warm as we met at 6:30 in the morning and it felt just right as our bodies started warming up. Running on the bike path in the morning is refreshing and rejuvenating. If you don’t run, walk, and do it in the morning or as the sun sets. You will be amazed how it makes you feel. To be around for the sunrise or sunset, see all that nature has to offer and all the foot traffic that surrounds you. There is a secret language on the bike path that is shared between joggers, walkers and bikers, it’s kind of fun to see all the different people. The rest of my Saturday, I decided to put off all the cleaning I had planned on doing, to enjoy the sun and fun that Tipp City has to offer. Someone commented
Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist on my Facebook status as I talked about putting off all the cleaning and my response was “I have never heard anyone in their later years say, ‘Man, I just wish I had done more cleaning.’” We all worry about the cleanliness of our houses, our cars, our yards etc., but when it all comes down to it, if it comes to living or cleaning, I’d rather be living. In my opinion, if there are some dirty dishes in the sink and a few clothes lying around the house, you know someone lives there. So, as I said, I put mine off for another day. In it’s place, I went to the Tipp City Aquatic Park with my friend Rachel. We laid out, caught up on life, people watched and were even big kids and went down the slides. Those slides are water park equivalents, top-notch slides, they are legit, let me tell
— Cindy Ryman Troy
you. We flew down those things, despite being stared at by the 4foot or less kids that were standing around us as we towered over them waiting in line for our turn at the fun. After working for the good-ole TDN for most of the evening, I topped my night off by sitting on the lit-up balcony of La Fiesta to wind down the great (unofficial) summer day — one week until the official start of the season! After my fun-filled day Saturday, the fun only continued and grew Sunday. Sunday morning started with a trip to Sugarcreek Metro Park in Bellbrook for the Dirty Dude girl run that Up and Running puts on every year. That race was amazing. Despite working for the Metro Parks for five years, I have never been to Sugarcreek, and that, my friends is a beautiful park. What we consider trail runs around these parts, doesn’t really compare to that run. It was so beautiful — up hills, downhill and across the creeks we went. It was just a gorgeous run, and it was an event for only women which was kind of special because me, my mom and my aunt all ran it together and had the support of my cousin there, also. That was
followed by all the cleaning I put off, then more pool time with Key’s family at their house. It was great to hang out with his family, lounge in the pool and chat about life. The day rounded out with some time with my parents on the back porch, treating ourselves to some Dairy Queen and watching “Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition” with Key. What a great weekend! How great the days of summer have been and are going to be for the rest of summer! I encourage you to put down the remote, broom, vacuum, dust pan and dishes and get outside! It’s too beautiful to pass up and don’t fool yourself — it will make you feel much better than the satisfaction you get from cleaning a few plates and bowls and washing a few windows! Trust me, as I see how that dust falls into the trash out of the vacuum or smell the clean dishes out of the washer, I am pretty satisfied myself, but the smile is not the same as the one after spending the day at the park, at the pool, or on the river with friends and family.

Trial dates set for murder suspects BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com Two men charged in two separate murder investigations had pretrial conferences Monday in common pleas court. The accused murderers are a Piqua man accused of killing a 4-year-old girl he was babysitting and a West Milton man charged with beating his roommate to death. Travis Lee Gauldin, 21, of Piqua, who has been charged with murder, was given a trial date of June 26. Also having a pretrial conference Monday was Donald R. Pepper, 53, of West Milton, who has been charged with aggravated murder. He was given a
TROY trial date of July 10. Both men were arraigned May 30 and both have entered not guilty pleas in their cases. Gauldin has been accused of the April 12 murder of Malisa DeLeSancha, 4, of Piqua. He initially claimed in a distressed call to 9-1-1 the child fell down a flight of 16 wooden steps at 1012 Caldwell St. while he was babysitting, police reports disclose. At the time, Gauldin was living at the residence with the victim’s mother, who was at work at the time of the child’s injuries. The child was later transported via CareFlight to the Children’s Medical
Center where she died a few days later. He remains behind bars at the Miami County Jail on a combined bond of $550,000. He also has been charged with a count of domestic violence and two probation violations. Pepper has been charged with the April 13 slaying of James R. Wolf, 65, of 1177 Debron Road, West Milton, which is where the two men lived. Mr. Wolf suffered head trauma, which caused his death, authorities said. The crime was initially reported as a “lawn mower accident,” but authorities later learned otherwise through their investigation. Pepper remains jailed on a $1 million bond.
Truck driver arrested in case of 2 missing teens BY TOM BARNETT Ohio Community Media tbarnett@sdnccg.com A commercial truck driver arrested in Shelby County by troopers from the Piqua Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is facing felony kidnapping charges for allegedly kidnapping two missing teenage girls from Kentucky. Charged with kidnapping, a second-degree felony, Darien Lakeith McKinley, 30, of Stonebridge, Ga., is being incarcerated in the Wood County Jail. The patrol and the FBI in MCKINLEY Toledo and Dayton are investigating the incident as a possible case of human trafficking and federal charges are pending. Alerted by the caretaker of the Interstate 75 milepost 179 rest area in Wood Couty that a distraught female
WOOD COUNTY reported she had been released after being abducted, troopers located the suspect’s commercial vehicle Saturday on southbound I-75 at mile post 98 near Anna. A 16-year-old girl was found in the vehicle. The two young women had been listed as missing and are in temporary protective custody to be released to their parents. The trucker remained in jail Monday in lieu of a $85,000 bond, according to Bowling Green Municipal Court records. It is unclear if McKinley is an independent contractor or who he was employed by. Investigation of the incident, initiated by the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Findlay District Investigation Unit, has been turned over to the FBI.
Buckeye Bash held at Kyle Park BY JOYELL NEVINS Ohio Community Media jnevins@tcnewsnet.com The Southern Ohio Flying K9s have taken the game of fetch to a new level. This past weekend, the group hosted the Buckeye Bash, a competition of disc-doggers, at Kyle Park. Dogs use their owners’ bodies along with their own legs to propel after multiple Frisbee discs. Other tricks include owners catching their dogs and throwing the disc from under their legs. Between 20-40 dogs and owners competed in each event over the two days. Competitions included UFO local novice and pro toss and catch, novice and pro freestyle, and Ashley Whippet Invitational Cash & Catch (winner gets 25 percent of the collected entry fees).

Rutherford first appeared in the second film of the series, “You’re Only Young Once,” in 1938, and she went on 11 more. She played Polly Benedict, the ever-faithful girlfriend that Andy always returned to, no matter what other, more glamorous girl had temporarily caught his eye. (Among the other girls: Judy Garland and Lana Turner.) It was said she won the
part of Carreen the youngest of the three O’Hara sisters in “Gone With the Wind” because Judy Garland was filming “The Wizard of Oz.” Rutherford told the Times in 2010 that MGM head Louis B. Mayer was going to refuse her the role, calling it “a nothing part.” But Rutherford, who was a fan of the novel, uncharacteristically burst into tears and he relented.

Hope for Fed help powers U.S. stocks to big gain NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks staged one of their strongest rallies of the year Tuesday, erasing a big decline from the day before, after a Federal Reserve official said he supported more measures to stimulate the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average shot up 162 points, and every major category of stock in the U.S. market closed higher. Charles Evans, president of the Fed’s Chicago bank, told Bloomberg News that he supported action to produce faster job growth, including having the Fed commit to super-low interest rates until unemployment falls significantly. Last week, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told a committee of Congress that he was ready to act if the economy needs it, but he laid out no immediate steps. Investors have been worried about an escalating crisis in Europe over government debt and the health of banks, and job growth in the United States has been slower over the past three months than it was earlier in the year. “If there’s really bad news, it creates a heightened sense of anticipation that the Fed is going to ride to the rescue,” said Jeff Lancaster, a prinicpal at the wealth advisory firm Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough in San Francisco. “It’s almost like you’ve crashed your car and you’ve got a $500 deductible, and you take the car to the body shop and you just have this perverse desire for the damage to be well over $500,” he said. Rob Lutts, president and chief investment officer of Cabot Money Management, said investors were looking for an excuse to buy. “The question for Bernanke is

Materials companies, industrial companies and banks rose the most, but each of the 10 major categories of stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 climbed. Energy stocks also had an impressive day after the price of oil rose from an eight-month low. Over the weekend, European countries committed to lend Spain up to $125 billion to save its failing banks. But on Monday, the Dow fell 142 points. Investors fretted that they did not know enough about the details. The big rally in U.S. stocks on Tuesday came despite more discouraging signs from Europe. Spain’s borrowing costs jumped for a second day, to the highest
level since Spain adopted the euro currency. The interest rate, or yield, on Spain’s 10-year bond rose 0.20 percentage point to 6.67 percent. It rose as high as 6.81 percent earlier in the day. At 7 percent, economists say, countries generally can no longer finance their own debt. The rescue loan will be funneled through the government of Spain, and investors are also worried about whether Spain will have to repay that loan before it pays its other debt. That makes bondholders less willing to buy Spain’s debt, and makes them demand a higher interest rate to compensate for the added risk that they will not be paid back first if Spain is unable to pay all its debt.
“The market needs some confidence and foreign buyers won’t buy Spanish debt if they won’t get paid first,” said William O’Donnell, head of U.S. Treasury strategy at Royal Bank of Scotland. Borrowing costs for Italy, which analysts fear will be the next European country to seek some kind of rescue, rose even more. They jumped 0.47 percentage point to 6.02 percent. Investors are also nervous ahead of an election in Greece this weekend that may determine whether that country cuts itself free from the euro. Stocks slipped early in Madrid, then turned positive and were up 0.1 percent after U.S. markets opened. France’s CAC40 rose 0.1 percent, and
Germany’s DAX gained 0.3 percent. In the U.S., the Dow rose 162.57 points, or 1.3 percent, to close at 12,573.80. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 15.25 points to 1,324.18, and the Nasdaq composite rose 33.34 to 2,843.07. Trading was light for a second day. Investors sold U.S. government debt, an indication that they were willing to move money into riskier assets. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note climbed 0.08 percentage point to 1.67 percent. Michael Kors Holdings, a high-end clothing company, rose $2.06, or 5 percent, to $40.24 after reporting that its fourthquarter profit more than tripled on strong demand grew for its luxury clothing and accessories. The company also boosted its earnings forecast for the quarter and the year. Luxury spending has recovered from the recession faster than other consumer spending. Stocks of other upscale retailers, like Nordstrom, also rose. Among other stocks making big moves: VeriFone Systems, an electronic payments company, fell $2.02, or 6 percent, to $31.92. A jury ruled against it last week in a patent dispute, and VeriFone said late Monday that it was booking $18 million in expenses. A123 Systems, which makes batteries for electric cars, jumped 54 cents, or 52 percent, to $1.58 after saying it had developed new lithium ion technology capable of operating in extreme heat or cold. Heat generated by powerful next-generation batteries is one of the biggest hurdles in developing cars that do not use fossil fuels.

expert in cosmology and galaxy formation, said the latest work is more convincing than some other galaxy discoveries. He said the Japanese claim is more “watertight,” using methods that everyone can agree on. But he said it’s not much of a change from a similar finding by the same team last year. Still, “it’s the most distant bullet-proof one that everybody believes,” Ellis said. In 2010, a French team using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope claimed to have discovered a galaxy from 13.1 billion years ago and last year a California team using Hubble said they saw a galaxy from 13.2 billion years ago. Both Hubble teams published findings in the journal Nature. However, the two Hubble teams have yet to confirm their findings with other methods.

HONOLULU (AP) — A team of Japanese astronomers using telescopes on Hawaii say they’ve seen the oldest galaxy, a discovery that’s competing with other “earliest galaxy” claims. The Japanese team calculates its galaxy had formed by 12.91 billion years ago, and their research will be published in the Astrophysical Journal. The scientists with the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan used the Subaru and Keck telescopes on the summit of Mauna Kea.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Confront your friend about the theft of your medication Dear Annie: I had several surgeries during the past year and needed help from friends during my recovery. They have been generous with their time, caring for me and my three boys so my husband could work. They even helped with meals and chores. I have paid them in cash and gifts to show my gratitude. The problem is, I caught two of my friends stealing my pain medications. The first incident was so blatant that I immediately ended our relationship. I then caught the second friend skimming a few pills every visit. There is no mistake. After the first incident, I began keeping track, and it was clear that two pills were missing every time this particular friend visited. I know if I confronted him, he would deny it or blame someone else, so I haven't bothered. Now my pills are locked up, which makes it inconvenient for me. But I can't seem to forgive or forget. I feel violated and taken advantage of and can't seem to move forward. Please advise. — Out of Meds in California Dear California: If these friends are addicted to pain pills, they probably could not control themselves when access was so simple. You have taken the necessary steps to be sure there is no additional theft. However, it sounds as if you need to get this off your chest. If it will make you feel better, tell the second friend that you are aware that he stole your pills. State it as a matter of fact, not as a question, and suggest he get professional help for his addiction. Don't argue with him. Other than an admission of guilt or an apology, his response is irrelevant. This is for your benefit, not his. Dear Annie: My husband and I play golf once a week with three other couples, and all of us go out to eat afterward. We live in a retirement community with many restaurants, but we always go to the same few and always eat inside. I am cold in air-conditioned restaurants, so I prefer to eat outside. The others say it's too hot, too buggy, too windy, etc., so I never get to eat where I like. I think we should rotate choosing restaurants so we each get a turn to select the one we want. What do you think is fair? — California Dear California: Taking turns is fair, but it will only work if the others agree. So, by all means, ask them. But as uncomfortable as you are indoors, you can put on a sweater or jacket to stay warm. Those who have a problem with heat, wind or bugs can do nothing about it. If your golfing buddies prefer not to change the current set-up, we recommend you save your outdoor dining for other occasions. Dear Annie: "My Heart Is Aching for Lonely Seniors" made a plea for family members to visit loved ones who are in a nursing home. I have a suggestion that has worked well for us. Four years ago, my mother had a stroke and now is mostly confined to her home. We installed a set of nine video telephones that allow Mom to see the kids and the kids to see her. I was surprised how well this works, and the "face to face" contact is great. The young kids like to show off for Mom and let her see their homework and projects, and of course, Mom adores seeing them. Telephone calls are fine, but young kids don't often have a lot to say. With a video phone (or Skype or anything else like it), the entire family can gather around to wave and say hi to Mom. It is almost like being there. This is particularly good for family members who live out of state. It's worked out great for us. — G. Dear G.: Technology has provided wonderful ways to stay in touch. Thanks for the suggestion.

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. MONDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
Hints will give you some instant success with your coffee Dear Heloise: I am writing to ask if you know the best way to make a “good” cup of instant coffee. Many years ago, your mother printed some hints concerning instant coffee, and it did help! — Joyce S., Findlay, Ohio Joyce, you made me smile thinking of my mother, the original Heloise (1919-1977). Here are some hints for you to try: Always start with fresh, cold water. Boil the water. Add the correct coffee amount, according to the brand’s directions, to a cup, add water and stir. Try using a small whisk or even a fork to stir it, instead of a spoon, and add a pinch of salt. For more hints and recipes on
Hints from Heloise Columnist coffee AND tea, send for my Heloise’s Flavored Coffee and Teas pamphlet. To order, send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Coffee, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. If lemons are too expensive, but you still want the flavor in your tea, just add half a teaspoon of powdered lemonade mix!
— Heloise CONTAINED CAKE Dear Heloise: My hint has to do with the tall, plastic cake containers that you get when you buy a layer cake or angelfood cake at the supermarket. When the cake is gone, these containers can be washed, dried and kept for taking your own cakes to bake sales and church functions. The tall covers stack inside each other to make it easy to store until needed. The labels can be removed by soaking. The cake will stay fresh, as these containers lock together. — Sandy in Lubbock, Texas CLEANING OVEN RACK Dear Heloise: Please help. I
am looking for a way to clean my oven racks. — Narvella in Cleveland Yuck! They can be pretty dirty and a chore to clean. Put the dirty oven racks inside a large, sturdy, plastic garbage bag, and spray both sides with oven cleaner. Close up the bag and let it sit for several hours or overnight in a safe place so children and pets don’t get to it. Carefully discard the bag and rinse the racks clean with water. Rarely does it take any scrubbing (if you’ve covered the racks well with oven cleaner). Hope this helps. — Heloise P.S.: Work in a well-ventilated area, or even better, take them outside.

Many types of new possibilities could come out of you working with untested products, endeavors or systems. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you fail to show any gratitude to those who go out of their way to assist you, don’t expect them to be around the next time you need help. Even a simple “thank you” would suffice. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — For the sake of your image, keep a cool head if at times you find things to be a bit stressful. Whether you like it or not, you’re being closely observed and judged by others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even if you are more knowledgeable than most of your peers, don’t flaunt your education in ways that would degrade them just to show off how informed you are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you allow yourself to become so laid back in your commercial affairs that you’re lulled into a false sense of security and carelessness, you’ll end up taking a bath. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A proposal submitted to you by an associate needs to be studied with extreme care. If you fail to do so, you could unwittingly agree to something that serves his or her interests, but not yours. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Unless you have the courage to ‘fess up to a mistake, and instead try to hide it, you’ll cause more trouble for yourself than need be. You’ll be embarrassed when the truth comes out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — There’s a chance that you might be asked by your peer group to participate in something you adamantly dislike. Smile and go along with your pals, and you’ll all be the better for it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When faced with some rather stiff opposition where your work or career is concerned, the best way out isn’t to buckle under, but to toughen up and overcome what you’re facing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Someone might intentionally give a friend of yours some bad information in hopes of manipulating him or her. Don’t stand idly by and do nothing. Inform your friend of what you know. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — An alliance that is predicated solely upon a mutual, material interest could get complicated. In order to avoid a crisis, all parties must pull together. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You might get your own way by being aggressive, but you’re likely to ask yourself afterward if it was worth it, when you’re celebrating without a friend in the world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t tamper with arrangements that are presently running smoothly. Making a tweak here and an adjustment there may satisfy your restlessness but wipe out what you accomplished. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, June 13, the 165th day of 2012. There are 201 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 13, 1942, the first of two four-man Nazi sabotage teams arrived in the United States during World War II. The first group disembarked from a U-boat off Long Island, N.Y.; the second one arrived several days later on the Florida coast. (The eight were arrested after one of
them went to U.S. authorities; six of the saboteurs were executed.) On this date: • In 1842, Queen Victoria became the first British monarch to ride on a train, traveling from Slough Railway Station to Paddington in 25 minutes. • In 1886, King Ludwig II of Bavaria drowned in Lake Starnberg. • In 1927, aviation hero Charles Lindbergh was honored with a ticker-tape parade in New
York City. • In 1935, James Braddock claimed the title of world heavyweight boxing champion from Max Baer in a 15-round fight in Long Island City, N.Y. • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Bob McGrath is 80. Artist Christo is 77. Magician Siegfried (Siegfried & Roy) is 73. Singer Bobby Freeman is 72. Actor Malcolm McDowell is 69. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is 68. Singer Dennis Locorriere is 63.
USDA reduces estimate of Nebraska wheat harvest LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s winter wheat crop will be even smaller than expected, according to the latest forecast from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The department said in a news release Tuesday that, based on June 1 conditions, it expects only 50.8 million bushels will be harvested. That’s down 15 percent from the May 1 forecast and 22 percent less than last year. The yield was expected to average 40 bushels an acre, the department said. That’s down seven bushels from last month’s forecast, five from last year and 1.4 below the 10-year average. The USDA has said much of the decline was expected because the 1.27
million acres planted with wheat this year is 12 percent less than last year and the fewest since 1917. Professor Drew Lyon, a dryland crop specialist for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension who is based in Scottsbluff, said Tuesday that many farmers had their eyes on the higher profits available from growing corn, so they reduced their wheat acres. But the big drops over the past month were not in previous forecasts and mostly were blamed on less-thanideal weather. The northern Nebraska Panhandle had damage from a freeze early last month, and the usual May rains didn’t
fall in western Nebraska, where much of the state’s wheat is grown, Lyon said. “Generally in May we get about 3 inches of rain, depending on where you are,” he said. “We got substantially less than that. “Plus, we’ve had the high temperatures, and every day we seem to have 20 to 30 mile-an-hour-winds that just suck more moisture through the plants, which exacerbates the drought conditions.” Nebraska state climatologist Harry AP PHOTO Al Dutcher has said the soil is so dry in some parts of the state that crops will Brent Shaw wades his combine through the amber need nearly double the typical rainfall waves of grain on his land on Airport Road in Decatur, Ala., Tuesday, May 29. throughout June to grow as normal.
Dozens of dolphins stranded in Texas HOUSTON (AP) — The deaths of more than 120 dolphins off the Texas coast has prompted a federal agency to declare the event “unusual” and launch an investigation into whether they were related to a drought-related algae bloom or a more widespread mortality event that has plagued the northern Gulf of Mexico for two years. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has called the stranding of 123 dolphins on Texas shores from November through March an “unusual mortality event,” an official federal listing that allows the agency to access additional funds and set up a team of researchers.
All but four of the dolphins that washed up in Texas were dead, and the few that turned up alive died a short time later, said Blair Mase, the southeast marine mammal stranding network coordinator for NOAA Fisheries. What alarmed scientists though, was the age of the bottle-nosed dolphins that washed up — juveniles rather than the very young or elderly that normally would be found — and the fact that Texas had a years-worth of dead dolphins turn up in a five-month period. The cause, however, may not be known for months, if at all, Mase said. “That’s what’s a little frustrating
We believe quality workmanship must be combined with courteous and professional service.

about this. It’s not like you see on TV, on CSI, you don’t get the answers quickly,” she said. Further complicating matters are an array of things occurring in the Gulf simultaneously, all of which could cause dolphin mortality, Mase said. To begin with, the Texas coast was plagued during the fall and early winter by a toxic algae bloom called “red tide” that is caused by drought. This past year, the red tide was more severe and lasted longer than usual because of the historic drought that parched Texas and made the estuaries that flow into the Gulf salty and conducive to the algae bloom.

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. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Heeeere’s Johnny Cueto goes distance in Reds win
Cincinnati Reds’ Jonny Cueto pitches against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning in Cincinnati, Tuesday. Cueto gave up a run in the first inning but settled down, and the Reds gave him plenty of offensive support in a 7-1 victory.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Johnny Cueto felt good. He knew that many of his teammates including Joey Votto couldn’t say the same. Only one thing for him to do. The right-hander pitched his second complete game of the season on Tuesday night, allowing only one runner to reach second base, as the sickly Cincinnati Reds beat the Cleveland Indians 7-1 in the opener of their intrastate series. Cueto (7-3) saw several of his teammates getting fluids intravenously before the game as a stomach ailment went around

A tough Tuesday night Star
witness McQueary takes the stand in Sandusky trial
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — A former Penn State assistant coach whose account led to Joe Paterno’s downfall told a jury Tuesday that he heard a “skinon-skin smacking sound” in a campus locker room one night in 2001 and saw something that was “more than my brain could handle.” There was Jerry Sandusky standing naked in the showers behind a boy, slowly moving his hips, Mike McQueary testified. He said he had no doubt he was witnessing (a sex act). McQueary, one of the star witnesses in the child sexual abuse case against Sandusky, testified that he slammed his locker shut loudly as if to say, “Someone’s here! Break it up!” Then, he said, he went upstairs to his office to try to make sense of what he had seen. Sandusky, 68, is on trial on charges he molested 10 boys over a 15-year p e r i o d . Authorities say he abused them in hotels, at his home and inside the f o o t b a l l team’s quarters. The former assistant MCQUEARY coach and founder of an acclaimed youth charity has denied the allegations. Paterno was fired last fall, shortly after Sandusky’s arrest, after it became known that McQueary had told the head football coach about the shower episode a decade ago. Two months after his dismissal, Paterno died of lung cancer at 85. McQueary was composed during his testimony, and when was asked if he knew Sandusky, he looked right at him with a sharp glance that Sandusky returned. McQueary’s account differed little from the one he gave in December at a preliminary hearing for two Penn State administrators charged with failing to report the alleged episode to authorities. The one difference: He said it took place in 2001 instead of 2002. Testifying on Day 2 of Sandusky’s trial, McQueary said

the clubhouse. Votto skipped batting practice, but hit a two-run homer and an RBI single. “Right before the game, I saw all those IVs hanging around and I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’” Cueto said. “I knew we didn’t have a bench, so I told myself, ‘Tonight. I’ve got to go all the way.’” Cueto allowed only one runner to reach second base, and that was in the first inning when Jason Kipnis had an RBI single. He gave up six hits, fanned seven and threw 122 pitches in the

Dragons Lair MIDLAND, Mich. — Scott Schebler and Jesse Bosnik both connected on two-run home runs as part of a five-run third inning as the Great Lakes Loons defeated the Dayton Dragons 6-4 on Tuesday night. The loss was just the third in the last nine games for the Dragons.
Hall, Shipley doing well as camp opens CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals cornerback Leon Hall is well ahead of schedule in his comeback from a torn Achilles tendon, inspiring hope that he could be ready for the start of training camp next month. Hall will be limited to working on the side during the Bengals’ three-day minicamp that opened on Tuesday at Paul Brown Stadium. Hall tore the
left Achilles tendon on Nov. 13, leaving questions about whether he’d be ready for the start of the 2012 season. Hall has been running forward and backward without problem, regaining his leg strength and flexibility faster than expected. Instead of setting the opening game as the target for his return, Hall thinks he can be ready to take the first snap in
practice when training camp opens on July 27. “Considering how I feel in mid-June, I feel like I will be OK,” Hall said, after emerging from the trainer’s room. If the 27-year-old cornerback is fully recovered, the Bengals will be in much better shape to make another run at the playoffs. The secondary struggled after Hall got hurt. Even though
Cincinnati made the playoffs as a wild card team, the Bengals lost a first-round game at Houston to finish 9-8. The Bengals took cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick in the first round, hoping he can team with Hall at cornerback at some point this season. Hall’s progress could allow them to become a tandem

Sandusky ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 that he was at home, in bed, watching the movie “Rudy,” when he decided to go to the football team building. He said he walked into the support staff locker room to put away a pair of new sneakers and, as he opened the door, heard a noise. “Very much skin-on-skin smacking sound,” he said. “I immediately became alert and was kind of embarrassed that I was walking in on something.” He said that he glanced over his shoulder at a mirror at a 45-degree angle and saw Sandusky “standing behind a boy who was propped up against a wall.” He estimated the boy to be
10 to 12 years old. He said that the boy’s hands were up on the wall and “the defendant’s midsection was moving” subtly. “The glance would have taken only one or two seconds. I immediately turned back to my locker to make sure I saw what I saw,” he said. After slamming his locker to make some noise, he left. “It was more than my brain could handle,” he said. “I was making decisions on the fly. I picked up the phone and called my father to get advice from the person I trusted most in my life, because I just saw something ridiculous.” He said he was very

vague with his father, who told him to leave immediately. McQueary said he went to Paterno’s house the next morning and relayed what he had seen, but did not describe the act explicitly out of respect for the coach and his own embarrassment. He said Penn State administrator Tim Curley called him a week later, and McQueary met with him and another school official, Gary Schultz. They “just listened to what I had said,” McQueary testified. A week or two later, he said, Curley called him to say they had looked into it. Earlier Tuesday, the teenager who triggered the
grand jury investigation that rocked Penn State became the second of Sandusky’s alleged victims to take the stand. He said that Sandusky kissed him, fondled him and engaged in oral sex with him during numerous sleepovers in the basement of Sandusky’s home while the coach’s wife was upstairs. The accuser, labeled Victim No. 1 by a grand jury, said he confided in a school district guidance counselor that Sandusky was molesting him, only to be told: “He has a heart of gold, and he wouldn’t do something like that.” “So they didn’t believe me,” the teenager said. School officials ultimate-
ly referred the case to the county’s child-welfare agency, which found his account credible. Now 18, he told the jury about an early encounter with Sandusky that escalated to oral sex. “I spaced,” he said. “I didn’t know what to do with all the thoughts running through my head, I just kind of blacked out and didn’t want it to happen. I froze.” As he choked back tears, the sobbing teen told of another time Sandusky forced him to perform oral sex, after saying it was his “turn.” And again, he said, he “froze.” He added: “My mind is telling me to move, but I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t move.”
The witness said he stayed quiet about the abuse, in part because his mother thought Sandusky was a positive influence, but he began trying to distance himself from Sandusky. Sandusky became angry with him because they had drifted apart, and things escalated into an argument between the boy’s mother and Sandusky, the teenager said. “I got extremely, extremely scared,” he said. Eventually the teen asked his mother if there was a website used to track sex offenders because he wanted to see if Sandusky was on it. That led to a meeting with the guidance counselor.

Milestone Monday Nadal wins 7th French Open title
AP FILE PHOTO
Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden goes back to pass during a practice at the team’s rookie camp in Berea on Sunday, May 13.
No assumptions for QB Weeden BERE (AP) — Browns coach Pat Shurmur wouldn’t pick his starting quarterback. So Seneca Wallace went ahead and did it for him. Although it’s only a matter of time before the job goes to rookie Brandon Weeden, Shurmur has been reluctant to say he’s the starter before training camp opens. But on the final day of media availability during the Browns’ offseason program, Wallace brought clarity to Cleveland’s QB situation. “I’m a realist,” Wallace said. “Obviously the kid was drafted in the first round for a reason and it wasn’t they drafted him to come and sit on the bench. At some point he’s going to play. If it’s the first week or it’s the 12th week, at some point the kid is going to play.” Wallace wasn’t done there. The 10-year veteran, who sat behind Colt McCoy last season, said Tuesday that he doesn’t think there’s room on the roster for himself, Weeden and McCoy. “Probably not,” said Wallace. “Can any of you guys see all three of us being here?” Wallace also made it known he and McCoy have no desire to be Cleveland’s No. 3 quarterback. “No, not really,” he said. “We all know the third guy doesn’t dress Sundays, and if it comes down to that decision, obviously neither one of us wants to be that third guy.” Wallace’s candor was refreshing amid the endless speculation and conjecture surrounding the Browns’ quarterback conundrum. Shurmur has been unwilling to anoint Weeden as his starter despite the Browns making him the obvious choice by selecting the 28-year-old quarterback with the No. 22 overall pick in April’s NFL
draft. The Browns view Weeden as their franchise quarterback, the long-term answer to a problem that has dogged them for years. Shurmur remained noncommittal about his starter as the team began its final week of organized team activities before training camp in July. But as Weeden continues to progress and his repetitions with the first-team offense increase, only an injury or unexpected collapse during the exhibition season would keep him off the field for the Sept. 9 season opener against Philadelphia. But who will back up Weeden isn’t so definitive. McCoy, who started 13 games last season before missing the final three with a severe concussion, refuses to allow himself to consider the possibility not starting. He’s going to fight for as long as he can or until Shurmur announces a winner. The prospect of being a No. 2 or No. 3 quarterback isn’t something he wants to contemplate. “I have not gone there in my mind,” he said. “When I come out to practice, in my mind I’m the starter. That’s the only way I look at it.” McCoy stressed that he’s improving each day in practice. He’s more comfortable running Cleveland’s West Coast system, which was new to him last year. He’s never been one to make excuses, but McCoy did point out that he’s playing under his third offensive coordinator in three seasons. McCoy is saying all the right things publicly, but he may know deep down that he may not start for the Browns again. He answered a few direct questions with the clichéd “I can only control what I can control” responses and sidestepped whether he would ask for his release or to be traded if he doesn’t beat out Weeden.
PARIS (AP) — Rafael Nadal has caused so many others sleepless nights at Roland Garros. This time, though, it was his turn to do the tossing and turning. The bad weather. The unpredictable bounces. An opponent, Novak Djokovic, who couldn’t miss. It all kept flashing through his mind. And it was compounded by the fact that when he walked back on the court Monday, he would be protecting a slim lead in the fourth set — giving him very little time to get a wobbling game back on the rails. Turns out, it was a case of losing sleep over nothing. Nadal won six of the nine games played after the restart to close out a 64, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 victory over Djokovic, cementing his name in the history books with a record seventh French Open title, one more than Bjorn Borg. Nadal also prevented Djokovic from becoming the first man since 1969 to win four straight majors, the same way Roger Federer got denied in 2006 and 2007. Also against Nadal. Also on the clay. “My mental part, probably, on clay is one of the most important things,” Nadal said. “Because you have to run, you have to suffer sometimes, you have to play with more tactics, because you have more time to think, to do things.” The end of this one played out the way seven of the last eight of them have at Roland Garros: Nadal sliding through the gritty court, reaching for balls nobody else could think of getting, punishing his opponent and pressuring him into “unforced errors” that were really no such thing. Djokovic had 15 during the fourth set.

Rafael Nadal holds the trophy with the inscription of his six previous titles after winning the men’s final match against Novak Djokovic at the French Open in Roland Garros stadium in Paris Monday. Rain suspended the final, making it the first French Open not to end on Sunday since 1973. Nadal clinched his seventh title in four sets 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, passing Bjorn Borg as the all-time record-holder for French Open titles. It was quite a different scene from the evening before, when rain turned the court into a sheet of near-mud, the tennis balls got saturated and every advantage belonged to Djokovic. He ran off eight straight games — who does that against Rafa on clay? — and Nadal was scowling, arguing with the umpires, asking to have the match suspended because Roland Garros was playing more like an unkempt public court after a storm than one of tennis’ hallowed grounds on an historically important day. The decision to stop, and not to resume later Sunday when the rain stopped and there was still light available, might have been the turning point in the match. “I said, ‘Good, we got lucky. If we hadn’t stopped, we were going home,’” said Nadal’s uncle and coach, Toni Nadal. Djokovic thought the same: “It’s unfortunate,” he said, “because I think I was playing better and I was feeling really well on the
court.” Djokovic needed one more win to join Don Budge and Rod Laver as the only men to win four straight major titles. Instead, he fell to 0-4 against Nadal at the French Open. He saw the task that lies ahead but also appreciated what he’d done. “These matches make you feel like all the work that you put into it is worth it,” he said. “You’re living for this moment to play finals of any Grand Slam, and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.” After the win, the conversation quickly turned to whether Nadal is now the greatest clay court player ever. Nadal himself doesn’t like getting drawn into the “greatest this,” ”greatest that” discussion. “I’m not the right one to say that,” he said. Others certainly will. “Well, he has to be now,” said Mats Wilander, who won here three times and presented the trophy to Nadal. “I mean, you can never compare eras. But,
yeah, I think the players that he’s up against are better on clay. They’re more consistent than the ones Borg was up against. Playing Roger Federer in a bunch of finals. Now Novak, No. 1 in the world. Yes, yes, absolutely. The seven here makes a big difference.” Those seven go along with eight at Monte Carlo, seven at Barcelona, six at Rome and an overall 25419 record on the surface. But while the numbers get gaudier, the tennis world moves on — to the grass at Wimbledon, which is where Djokovic started his string of three straight Grand Slam wins last year, beating Nadal in all three finals. “I don’t have that chance to play in my favorite court the rest of the season,” Nadal said. “That’s the thing. The calendar says we only have this period of time on clay, and I don’t have more chances to play on clay.” The rest of the tennis world should rejoice at that.

Bengals ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 at the start of training camp. “Leon has done very well,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “He has exceeded expectations by far. He’s done well. He’s excited with where he is. What he hasn’t had to do is the day-to-day stuff — how many snaps, how many plays. “He’s been impressive, but we expected that from Leon. That doesn’t surprise anybody.” While teammates went through voluntary offseason workouts the last few weeks, Hall worked on the sideline, running without a problem or a setback. He’s working on getting the leg back to full strength and getting to the point where he can run and turn without worrying about whether the tendon will hold up.
Former Bengal Ochocinco finds home with Miami MIAMI (AP) — Out of work and not ready to retire, Chad Ochocinco found a job back in his hometown. The former Pro Bowl receiver signed with the Miami Dolphins on Monday, four days after being released by the New England Patriots. The signing came after Ochocinco had a tryout with the Dolphins, who are thin at the position and dropping a lot of passes in offseason drills. He’s likely to join the team for this week’s OTAs, which continue through Wednesday. “Congrats to Chad,” tweeted his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. “It’s nice to come home.” The 34-year-old Ochocinco, a Miami native, made the Pro Bowl six times, most recently in 2009. He had only a minor role in his lone season with the Patriots, catching 15 passes for 276 yards. “I think it’s just really the confidence that I have in my Achilles,” Hall said. “That’s kind of been one of the things with the rehab
process. For the most part when I do new things, the Achilles is strong enough. I just have to mentally believe it and just do it.”
Slot receiver Jordan Shipley also will be limited during the three-day camp as a precaution. Shipley tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the second game last season and is in the final stage of his recovery. He’s expected to be fully recovered for the start of training camp. “There’s still a little bit of stiffness, but nothing big,” Shipley said. “I’m just kind of in the last phase of getting the speed back and all that.” Shipley’s return also would be a big boost. The Bengals didn’t have a receiver to complement Pro Bowler A.J. Green last season. Receivers Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell left as free agents. The Bengals took Mohamed Sanu from Rutgers, the Big East’s career receiving leader, in the third round.

Cozart was out of the lineup because of the illness, and others were struggling just to stay on the field. “I wasn’t feeling too good, though I wasn’t as bad as some of the other guys,” outfielder Chris Heisey said. “It was an interesting day.” Votto’s homer in the seventh off left-hander Tony Sipp made it 57 straight games with at least one home run at Great American Ball Park, the longest active streak in the majors. Votto added an RBI single as the Reds pulled away in the eighth.
Jay Bruce hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the fifth off Jeanmar Gomez (4-5). The Reds won for only the second time in the last eight games of the interleague series. Cleveland won five of the six last season. Brantley extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a seventh-inning single off Cueto. It’s the longest current streak and one game shy of matching the longest in the majors this season. Cleveland’s Asdrubal Cabrera went 0 for 4, ending his hitting streak at 12 games.

Good to be the Kings Los Angeles celebrates first Stanley Cup championship LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Stanley Cup barely had the Los Angeles Kings’ fingerprints on it before Darryl Sutter suggested they should start preparing to win it again. “The first thing you think about as a coach, these guys are all young enough, they’ve got to try it again,” the coach said Monday night after the Kings defeated the New Jersey Devils 6-1 in Game 6, mere moments after raising the Cup for the first time himself. That’s just how a pragmatic farmer from Alberta thinks about everything, and Sutter didn’t allow his mental preparations for a sequel to stop him from celebrating this irreplaceable moment with his players. The Kings partied until well after midnight at a restaurant overlooking the Staples Center ice, where Los Angeles completed its 16-4 rampage through the postseason to the franchise’s first NHL title. After nearly 45 years without a Cup, after 4½ decades with one division title and one conference crown to show for their existence, and after eight straight years from 200210 without making the playoffs, Los Angeles and its Kings had earned every minute of it. Music boomed and drinks flowed for a few hundred friends, family members and Kings employees hanging with the players. Everybody seemingly got a chance to raise the Cup above their heads for triumphant photos, and a few unhappy toddlers were forced to sit in the bowl. The Conn Smythe Trophy also attended, and plenty of people borrowed Jonathan Quick’s hardware long enough to chant “M-V-P!” for themselves.

Los Angeles Kings right wing Dustin Brown (23) holds up the Stanley Cup after the Kings beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 during Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals Monday in Los Angeles. The Kings weren’t thinking much about how they became the first eighth seed to win a title, or how they won 10 straight road games this spring, or how they made the second-fastest run in modern NHL history to the Stanley Cup. They already knew. “It’s got to come from the room, and guys have to make a decision to work,” said Quick, the record-setting goalie who carried the Kings through long stretches of the regular season. “I think we did that. You can’t say enough about this group and how hard they worked.” And then everybody danced, ate and sang at a party 45 years in the making. Later, several players took the Cup to one of their
favorite pubs in Hermosa Beach, one of the beautiful South Bay seaside towns where nearly all of the Kings live when they aren’t chasing hockey hardware. This party will go on all week, too. The Cup and several Kings are scheduled to make appearances on “The Tonight Show” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and a parade down Figueroa Street is scheduled for Thursday, with thousands of Southern California’s devoted hockey fans expected to turn out for their first title celebration. Los Angeles is a hockey town right now, with everything from downtown postgame celebrations to congratulatory billboards hung around the city, including a greeting from Patron tequila on the icon-
ic Sunset Strip. Thousands of drivers are flying Kings colors on the city’s muchmocked car flags, and the parade should be a culmination of the best time in club history since Wayne Gretzky ruled the Forum. It’s good to be a King, whether you’re rookie surprise Dwight King or any King at all. And they’ve got no reason to think next year can’t be just as exciting. The Kings’ surge actually began in the regular season when a talented roster came together in the final 20 games or so. Although they never even faced elimination in the postseason, it was a distinct possibility during the regular season, when they didn’t clinch a playoff spot until right before their 81st game.

Kurt ‘Final umps’ control fate Busch to return at Michigan CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kurt Busch will return to Phoenix Racing when his one-week NASCAR suspension ends today. Busch met Tuesday with team owner James Finch, and the duo agreed to move forward to this weekend’s race at Michigan International Speedway. “At the end of the day, we are racers so we’re going racing together with Kurt and the No. 51 Phoenix Racing Chevrolet,” Finch said in a statement. “We know adjustments have to be made but how we fix that is between Kurt and myself. We’re going to go to the track, work hard, race hard and work on trying to attract a sponsor and we’re going to do that together.” Busch’s status seemed shaky following his oneweek suspension for verbally abusing a media member.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Beaten down at Augusta, now the man to beat at the U.S. Open. The expectations that have followed Tiger Woods this year are a lot like the fairways at The Olympic Club — up, down, often sideways. He couldn’t close out tournaments the way he once did. He lost his putting stroke. His left Achilles tendon might be more of a problem than he was letting on. He had his worst finish ever at the Masters. He missed a cut. And in the midst of such a gloomy outlook, Woods won by five shots at Bay Hill and delivered an uppercut fist pump at Memorial when he chipped in for birdie to complete a stunning rally for his second win of the year. So when the question came up Tuesday at the U.S. Open — whether Woods had to win a major to end such prognosticating — he all but rolled his eyes. “I think even if I do win a major championship, it will still be, ‘You’re not to 18 yet’ or ‘When will you get to 19?’ It’s always something with you guys,” Woods said. “I’ve dealt with that my entire career, ever since I was an amateur and playing all the way through and to professional golf. It hasn’t changed.” Even so, this U.S. Open figures to go a long way toward figuring out how close he is to returning to the top of golf. Woods couldn’t stop talking about how the U.S. Open presents the toughest test players face all year — so tough that he probably won’t be talking to Phil Mickelson, his longtime rival who will be playing with him in the opening two rounds. “This is one of those championships that I think the guys talk the least to one another because it’s so difficult,” he said. Woods looks as equipped as ever. Two weeks ago, he played so well at Muirfield Village that he was ranked in the middle-of-the-pack in putting and still rallied from four shots behind to win. He has talked about playing well in spurts, and conceded after that win — the 73rd of his PGA Tour career — that he hit the ball great all four rounds. Just like that, he became the betting favorite at Olympic Club to get his 15th major — and first since the 2008 U.S. Open — and resume his
pursuit of the record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus. Then again, his win at Bay Hill made him the pretournament rage at the Masters, and he tied for 40th. “I guess lately, we don’t know what to expect from him,” Steve Stricker said. “When he wins, we’re all eager to look ahead and think that he’s going to be back to where he was in the early 2000s or whenever he was at the top of his game. I think that just shows you the ability that he has, and what people see in the type of player that he is, and the type of shots that he’s been able to hit over the years, and the uncanny ability to just get it done and win golf tournaments. “So when he does win one, I think that’s why we’re all quick to hop on his bandwagon.” Woods sees a different trend from the first major of the year. He managed his game at Bay Hill, in part because of a sloppy start by Graeme McDowell that gave Woods a cushion and allowed him to play the shots he needed to win the tournament. “When I went into Augusta, I did not feel comfortable hitting the ball up,” Woods said. “And I got back into a lot of my old patterns. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. But that’s what made playing Muirfield so nice. I had those shots, and I was doing it the correct way. And I had compression, hitting the ball high and hitting it long. That was fun.” Olympic is all about hitting it in the fairway, and the right spots on the green. The golf course is longer than when Woods tied for 18th in 1998, though that isn’t the biggest change. The greens have been resurfaced, and they roll so fast that it’s difficult to get the ball close. Plus, the USGA has shaved some areas off the green to form large collection areas. A slight miss could send the ball some 30 yards away. Woods told of the par-3 13th during a practice round in which he hit the green, and the ball rolled down a slope and just inside a hazard. “I think this probably tests the player more than any other championship,” Woods said. “We have to shape the ball. We have to hit the ball high. We have to hit the ball low. Our short game’s got to be dialed in.”
