Banding is a popular tracking method among birdwatchers, who attach the lightweight tags on birds’ legs to serve as ID tags.

The process, which requires federal and state licenses, helps Ray, 47, track everything from nestlings to the migration of adult purple martins from South America to Texas and Oklahoma every spring. See Page 10.

Dust fills the air as CareFlight makes its way to the scene of a Wednesday evening crash on Piqua-Troy Road that left one person injured. The medical helicopter was called to another Miami County crash, this one on State Route 721, near Bradford, less than eight hours later. In the second crash, a motorcyclist suffered injuries after he struck a deer.

Two hurt in crashes on county roadways

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com

MIAMI COUNTY

Two motorists involved in separate, single vehicle crashes reportedly involving deer within an eight-hour period Wednesday night and early Thursday morning were both transported by CareFlight to the Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.

One of those motorists, Justin W. Sullivan, 29, of Piqua, was treated and released Thursday, but the motorist involved in the second crash, Jack L. Herron II, 39, of Greenville, remained in critical condition in the intensive care unit late Thursday afternoon, a hospital spokesperson said.

Sullivan was northbound traveling down Piqua-Troy Road about a mile south of Piqua near the stone quarry when he lost control of his vehicle Wednesday night at a high rate of speed,

struck a telephone pole and traveled down a steep embankment, police at the scene said.

It took crews nearly a half-hour to extricate Sullivan from his vehicle after he became pinned as a result of the crash and emergency personnel had to use a Stokes basket to get him to the top of the embankment.

Sullivan told deputies he swerved to avoid hitting a deer.

Meanwhile, Herron was involved in a motorcycle accident at approximately 5 a.m. Thursday when he struck a deer in the roadway and crashed, according to the Miami County Sheriff’s Office.

Herron was headed southbound on State Route 721 near Bradford when the deer ran out into the roadway.

The Miami County Sheriff ’s Office continues to investigate both crashes.

UVCC auction set for Saturday

BY JENNIFER RUNYON For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

And, there’s lots of treasure to be found at the Upper Valley Career Center this week. The school is auctioning off approximately 85 percent of its loose furnishings and appliances during a public auction set for Saturday.

Through its building project with the Ohio School Facilities Commission, the school is replacing old items with new. Like the construction,

office furnishings, including bookcases, desks, chairs and filing cabinets, also will be available. And, the school will be auctioning off some of its technology items, such as laptop and desktop computers, projectors and monitors.

Also, a 1990 Pontiac, a GMC cargo van and welders will be up for auction.

The school has 1,800 square feet of space filled with items to auction in tents, located between the Career Center and the Applied Technology Center.

This includes items that Gibson calls “unique” such as stainless steel counter tops and a commercial washer and dryer. There are no reserves for any of the items.

The auction starts at 9:30 a.m. Saturday with previewing beginning at 8 a.m.

Proceeds from the auction will go into the school’s general fund and will be used to support the school’s various programs.

PIQUA the new furnishings are cofunded by the state with taxpayers covering 25 percent of the cost.

According to Pat Gibson, director of business operations, the auction will offer many kitchen items as the culinary arts department as well as the cafeteria have both received new equipment.

“There’s a lot of Hobart equipment,” he said, adding that the kitchen items are industrial grade stainless steel.

new — you have people ready to buy the used,” Nathaniel Kamau said of the shoes collected here, so far in Ohio, Virginia and Indiana.

The Kamaus explain that the reason the Well of Hope program had rather collect used shoes than accept cash donations is because everyone can participate.

“We don’t want money from Americans,” Nathaniel Kamau said.

“We need shoes. Anyone can give shoes — a rich person, a middle person, even the children. Not all people can give money.”

The shoes are the commodity, which the Well of Hope relies on to raise the money to purchase land to build homes for those who are widowed and their children. So far, 200-plus people have been able to settle in these homes, Nathaniel Kamau said.

According to Zipporah Kamau, the large widowed population in Kenya is due to natural death as well as complications due to AIDS. “AIDS is still claiming many lives,” Zipporah Kamau said. “People don’t want to change their lifestyle.”

Many women who are widowed are “chased out of their matrimonial homes,” the Kamaus said, by the deceased’s husband’s family.

“They don’t want the women to inherit the property,” Zipporah Kamau said. “Our country is still struggling with equal rights.”

The homes being constructed by Well of Hope are not owned by the individual women, so they cannot sell the home or land that they live in.

Rather, the property is jointly owned with Well of Hope.

The Kamaus also visited with the congregation and pastor of New Covenant Community Church in Staunton, Va., during their trip to the U.S. The church’s pastor, Jim Logan, learned of the

Well of Hope when he traveled to Kenya for a wedding. He visited with the Kamaus in their home, returned to Virginia, helped collect two sea containers of shoes, then returned with several members of his congregation to help construct homes for the widows.

“We wanted to visit and thank them for their work,” Nathaniel Kamau said.

Locally, the Yoders have worked with several churches, businesses and organizations to help collect used shoes for their “community to community” ministry. They just sent a container of 14,000 pairs of shoes that were collected between spring 2011 and spring 2012.

Those who would like to participate may do so by dropping off shoes at the following Miami County locations: • Covington Savings and Loan, 223 N. Miami St., Bradford or 117 N. High St., Covington • East of Chicago Pizza, 1560 Covington Ave., Piqua • Elizabeth Township Community Center, 5760 W. Walnut Grove Rd., Troy • Fifth Third Bank, 150 E.

Main Ave. For more information on the Well of Hope, check out www.wellofhope.org, or call Dean Yoder at 937308-9171.

Romney • CONTINUED FROM 1 whether candidate, Republican or Democrat, is always a positive for the city.

Fisher plans to work most of the day making calls and will then go to K’s Hamburger Shop with other Democrats to show his support for incumbent Barack Obama.

“We plan to make phone calls to discuss issues affecting the middle class and Miami County,” he said. “We’re getting the message out that Obama deserves four more years.”

Jason Pitt, regional press secretary for Obama for America in Ohio, said Obama values hard work and responsi-

bility in a community, just as Troy residents do.

Romney’s values do not align with those of most Troy residents, he added.

“As governor of Massachusetts, Romney slashed critical investments in small town communities and is committed to taking police off the streets, firefighters out of the firehouse and teachers out of the classroom,” Pitt said in a written statement. “This is out of touch with communities like Troy that understand these public workers strengthen our communities and grow our economy.

“Romney economics didn’t work in Massachusetts, and it won’t work now.”

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

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

TROY DAILY NEWS EDITORIAL

Let’s declare USPS-Valassis deal proposal ‘shipwrecked’ We’ve always been forewarned of get-rich-quick programs and the person who wants to make that quick deal for everyone’s benefit. A deal without qualified supporting research is like purchasing a boat that has yet to be declared “seaworthy.”

The U.S. Postal Service continues to search for an answer to slowing its expected $14 billion annual losses and eventually find a financial life preserver before an “abandon ship” is called.

Recently the U. S. Senate passed legislation to assist in plugging some of the leaks, ordering that a fiscally-sound plan be constructed to save the challenged USPS. The House of Representatives has yet to act on the legislative charge.

In the meantime, it appears our postal service is wheeling and dealing in an attempt to turn growing losses into hoped-for “profitability.” The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) has been asked to review a Negotiated Service Agreement between the USPS and Valassis Direct Mail, Inc. But could this quick-fix deal really be the way to right the USPS ship and send it sailing into calmer waters?

We think not. We predict a tidal wave of problems will result in this exclusive deal with one of the major players in advertising inserts; advertising circulars that readers regularly find in newspapers throughout the week and on weekends. With a nod of approval, this special deal would grant Valassis mail discounts ranging from 22 to 36 percent for any “new” pieces of advertising mail.

Presently, the newspaper industry acts as the primary distributor of this advertising, while that same newspaper industry utilizes USPS to deliver its daily and weekly newspaper products as well as its total market coverage shoppers’ news products.

In short, Valassis is hoping to undercut newspapers and other direct mail advertisers, as delivery media, while working out a “deal” with USPS at a far reduced rate. We could see an exodus of preprint advertising from the newspapers and other direct mail businesses throughout the nation and a tidal wave of business for one company in the name of Valassis Direct Mail, Inc. Sounds like a sweet deal for the direct mail house, but a little sour for USPS. Reportedly, USPS would be trading current revenue streams initiated via the newspaper industry and flip such streams, at a very special discounted rate, to one “selected” direct mail house. The waters just became choppy. The mail house would show “new” business for USPS, while the postal service would see lost business from its newspaper clients as well as other existing direct mail clients who are not in a select category to receive special treatment.

There is no doubt that this proposal is calling for a storm at sea. The USPS, other direct mail advertisers, and the newspaper industry are already challenged. All three “industries” rely on advertising circular revenues. It is very troubling that there is no true evidence that this deal will allow USPS to show true revenue gains, yet the proposal is receiving PRC consideration.

Newspapers, including the Ohio Community Media local newspaper which you are now reading, have long been one, if not THE leading postal service customer in many communities. Many of our newspapers, which contain preprints produced by Valassis, and many other agencies, as well as national and local retailers, are currently being delivered by USPS. It is estimated that the U.S. newspaper industry spends in the neighborhood of $500 million annually with our government-controlled postal services.

Trading “revenues” and initializing a new highly-discounted rate for one single company could progress to a “ship lost at sea.”

It seems to us that favoring one business over another; or an entire industry, which could do irreparable harm to newspapers nationwide; is NOT the answer to USPS’ navigational concerns. This quick deal will not right the postal services ship.

The PRC now can approve or reject the proposal. The USPS and Congress should not be tied to deals offering future discounts just as it is being charged to review and reconstruct its mail delivery “vessel.” Let’s declare this “deal” shipwrecked and pull the proposal off the decision-making table.

LETTERS

Republicans are hurting America To the Editor: I looked up the definition of treason and sedition, and I believe John Boehner and all his cronies fall into that category.

From day one, they have said their main goal was to destroy Obama. They hate him so much that they are happily destroying their own country.

All these Republicans are like robots. Push their buttons and they all sound alike.

Romney is a habitual liar.

And Romney said how hard it was to bring up five boys.

Romney owns multiple houses, multiple cars, multiple gardens, maids, cooks, etc., etc.

The Romney sons probably went to boarding school, so they would not be “home” long.

The U.S. may be called a Christian country, but the hate in this country denies that.

Money runs our politics on today’s elections. The Koch brothers = billionaires who pour money into Republican coffers, keeping fanatics in power.

The Republicans want to do

away with education, by so doing they — the elite billionaires — can control the ignorant. Education does matter.

The Republicans want to do away with Social Security — a lot of people depend on social security.

The politicians are on vacation again. They should go without pay every time they leave Washington. They have done nothing to help the country for 3.5 years. The American people need to wake up.

DOONESBURY

City of Troy is a piece of the American pie Folks, it’s been an exciting summer here in our neck of the woods.

We survived the Strawberry Festival. Heck, we crushed it. Once again, people turned out to support our clubs and organizations that needed the funds from this festival to keep our kids active and help our county flourish for another year.

Businesses opened their doors on their days off so crowds could peruse the variety of goods and services downtown Troy has to offer. It was the “out of towners” who took advantage of the downtown location to do business and hopefully come back to our city to find what they were looking for once again.

Sometimes we take for granted our town’s beauty and hospitality.

Our downtown continues to impress all the visitors, near and far, with our restaurants and store fronts.

Our square has the fountain which we circle about time and time again.

Yet it’s where gorgeous girls in their prom gowns dart through traffic to pose for pictures that will be treasured for years to come.

Our concerts continue to entertain as local bands and musicians beg to be part of the summer fun in the sun in front of local artist Aka Pereyma’s mural “Sunrise, Sunset” on Prouty Plaza.

Couples walk hand in hand to our

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist bars and cafes to enjoy the tunes and brews dotted around the Square.

Aren’t we blessed to have this great historic, yet, contemporary, venue right before our very eyes?

This week, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced that he too, wanted a piece of the Trojan fan fair.

Sure my health insurance went up $30 a month, which is a lot for someone who only uses it once a year and in emergencies. I also see how fluctuating funding wreaks havoc on local superintendents trying to keep up with the ever changing demands in public education. I see farmers get heck for buying new equipment during the good years, yet no one notices when weather toys with their bottom lines as prices soar to keep seed in the

— Margaret Lefler Troy

ground. I see local business owners struggling to keep their doors open, to pay their employees a fair wage and keep prices low. It’s a struggle.

So when Romney announced he’d be swinging through our town for the iconic burger and milkshake at K’s Hamburgers, I was happy that Troy, once again, would be hosting another potential president.

We are middle America folks. Our mayor is the announcer of our high school football home games. Does it get more American than that? We have beautiful parks, a historic mansion which hosts art collections and events, a senior citizen center that caters to our priceless, hard working retirees and companies flourishing in the middle of a recession.

We have something special here in Troy. A few weeks ago, I was having dinner with my girlfriend Jani and a middle-aged man sat across from us dining alone.

I, of course, began to talk to him.

He told us he was driving from North Carolina to Michigan and stopped for the night in Troy. I stood up and shook his hand and welcomed him to Troy (I’m a little cheesy like that) and then I immediately made him show me where in “That State Up North” he was going using the “Michigan Mitten” hand

map. After I welcomed him to our town, I boasted that Troy was the home of the: Slim Jim, Hobart Mixer, World War II aircraft, national racing legend Jack Hewitt and several professional athletes and, of course, the state’s oldest high school football rivalry. He laughed and said I should work for the city’s public relations department.

Shoot, we all should work for the city’s public relations department.

Our city isn’t perfect, but on beautiful summer days we can forget the crime and troubles that plague our town fairly easily.

So let’s welcome Romney on Sunday by either coming out to shake hands with him or by asking him questions on his political platform. If you aren’t a Romney fan, stop in on Monday to simply buy a cheeseburger from K’s Hamburger Shop to support the diner that has stayed in business, despite all the odds, for more than 77 years.

Because it doesn’t matter if you are a Democrat or Republican, we are all Miami Countians here in beautiful Middle America. And around here, we welcome our visitors with a smile, a handshake and a hamburger.

“Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. Her civic pride is city wide.

Judge defends sentence

BY KATHY LEESE Ohio Community Media

TROY

Judge Robert Lindeman has defended his sentence of former Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel June 8 — a sentence that left Kimpel smiling and many, including the special prosecutor, stunned.

Lindeman, a Miami County Common Pleas Court judge, was assigned to the case when Shelby County Common Pleas Court Judge James Stevenson recused himself due to the possibility of a conflict of interest.

Lindeman sentenced Kimpel to probation on a felony charge of unauthorized use of a computer or telecommunications device for using the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG) computer system for his personal use. A charge of sexual battery against Kimpel in Auglaize County was dismissed as part of a plea bargain. Lindeman gave Kimpel two years probation and fined him $1,000 and court costs that must be paid within 12 months. While Kimpel avoided jail time, he will face nine months in prison if he violates probation.

The sentence left many surprised, including Special Prosecutor Gary Nasal, who said he was “stunned … shocked, disappointed. It was my expectation that he (Kimpel) 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 (jail) sentence.”

Lindeman, who did not address Kimpel’s wrongdoing during the sentencing, also did not adhere to a request from the prosecution that Kimpel not be allowed to maintain a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit and did not block Kimpel’s return to law enforcement.The prosecutors had asked that Kimpel be banned from law enforcement for life, but he will now be eligible to return to that line of work upon completion of his probation.

Lindeman told the Sidney Daily News why he chose not to give Kimpel jail time: “Under the new sentencing laws, he was a candidate for mandatory community control (probation).

That’s what he got. I almost never give intermittent jail sentences down here (Miami County) because they cost the county money, clog up the county jail.

“It’s a felony charge. If they (prosecutors) want intermittent (jail) time, they ought to charge people with misdemeanors. I can give that kind of misdemeanor sentence. On the felony side, if I send somebody, it’s going to be to the penitentiary. It’s not going to be to the

local jail where the jail space is needed for municipal court judges, using it to keep their docket under control and (to) put their people in jail at the local level.”

Under Ohio law, Kimpel’s sentence had to be charged as a felony. Lindeman said he had no knowledge of a request for a suspension of Kimpel’s CCW permit.

“Where did that come from? he said.

“That’s the first I’ve heard about it. There was nothing in the plea agreement about a CCW.” Talking about the request for Kimpel’s lifetime ban from law enforcement, Lindeman said, “I don’t know what he’s going to do. It’s not necessarily a condition of the community control sanction, but that is their agreement and I think both sides would have to abide by it. My sanction only applies as long as he’s on community control. Once they’re off community control, I lose my jurisdiction and I no longer have any way to enforce that. It means nothing really. I don’t know what he’s (Kimpel) going to do.”

Lindeman said there was a reason he chose not to lecture Kimpel at his sentencing: “A lot of times the people I see don’t even have a high school education. Many of them don’t get past the eighth, ninth grade, at least in Miami County. I don’t see that many college-educated (individuals) or people who have additional training beyond high school.

So I give speels to certain folks who may not quite get what I’m trying to get at. In Kimpel’s case, he has advanced training. He has some skills. He’s been in law enforcement for a number of years, so clearly he knew what he was doing.”

Lindeman said he has nothing to say to local law enforcement about the sentencing: “I don’t like to argue with people after the sentence is over with. I can only say that for a person to lose his job and be humiliated in front of the community and to be limited in what he can do in the future, they (law enforcement) can give their definition of justice and I’ll look at the (Ohio) Revised Code and come up with what I think is appropriate under the circumstances. I thought that was an appropriate sentence. That’s all I can say.”

If Kimpel violates probation, Lindeman said, “I’d give him nine months. I wouldn’t even hesitate to do it. That was what I told him. If he violated any terms or conditions of community control, nine months in the pen.

And if you check up here, you’ll find I usually do that.”

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Don Woods TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Don Woods, a retired meteorologist whose weather cartoon character, “Gusty,” became the official cartoon of the state of Oklahoma, has died.

KTUL-TV officials confirmed Thursday that Woods, the station’s first weatherman, died Tuesday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 84.

Woods was the meteorologist when KTUL first signed on the air in 1954. He would draw “Gusty,” a caricature of a boy, to characterize the weather forecast.

“Gusty” became Oklahoma’s official cartoon character in 2005.

KTUL president and general manager, Pat Baldwin, called Woods a true weather pioneer who was good at keeping people safe while making it fun.

Woods is survived by a son and two daughters. His wife, Jane Woods, died in 2008.

The family is planning a private graveside service.

• Tom Driscoll PEORIA, Ill. — Retired Journal Star editor Tom Driscoll, who’s remembered for his crusade to save Peoria’s riverfront, had died. He was 86.

Driscoll began his career as a reporter in 1949 at the Peoria Journal-Transcript, which merged with the Peoria Star in 1955. He worked his way up, becoming executive editor in 1984. He retired in 1991. At the time of his retirement, then House Minority Leader Bob Michel published remarks in the Congressional Record praising Driscoll’s career as “marked with professionalism and integrity.”

The Journal Star reports that his former colleagues remembered him as a hardnosed reporter who was known for being ethical and unflappable.

Driscoll died Wednesday at his home in the central Illinois community of Washington. He’s survived by his wife, Margaret Mae Wagner, and their 10 children.

• Frances Williams Preston NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Frances Williams Preston, who worked with top songwriters as president of the royalties company Broadcast Music Inc., died Wednesday.

She was 83.

Preston was president of New Yorkbased BMI, which collects and distributes royalties to songwriters, from 1986 to 2004. Before that, she was head of the company’s office in Nashville, where she was born and grew up.

Family spokeswoman Caroline Davis said Preston died at home of congestive heart failure.

During her career, Preston worked with dozens of artists including Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Loretta Lynn, Waylon Jennings and Tammy Wynette. As BMI president, she oversaw a company that represented Paul Simon, Janet Jackson, Sting and others.

In 1998, Preston received the highest Grammy award given to a non-performer, the National Trustees Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

She was a member of the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Preston was credited with coining the Nashville songwriter’s creed, “It all begins with a song.” A 1986 Fortune magazine article called her “one of the true powerhouses of the pop music business.”

“She was smart, beautiful, tenacious, and generous. She put BMI on the culture map and shaped the careers of many: especially mine,” BMI President and CEO Del Bryant said in a statement.

Jody Williams, the BMI vice president for writer and publisher relations, said Preston showed “profound respect” for songwriters, mentored many music executives during her career and used her powerful position to help establish Nashville as a major music center.

“She is without a doubt the single most important figure responsible for making Nashville ‘Music City,’” Williams said in an email.

The California-based The Recording Academy said in a statement that Preston “fought for songwriters’ and publishers’ rights and encouraged the development and support of new artists.”

Preston retired from BMI in 2004 and returned to Nashville in 2007.

During her tenure as BMI president, the company enjoyed a consistent record of increasing revenues and royalty distribution to its more than 300,000 songwriters and music publishers. She also helped pioneer the licensing of new digital media.

• Jon Beans MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Jon Beans, a reporter and host on Alabama Public Television for two decades, died Wednesday from sickle cell anemia. He was 50.

Ron Simmons, a family friend and an executive at the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce, said Beans died at a Montgomery hospital.

Beans worked for Alabama Public Television from 1990 through 2011, serving as a producer, executive producer for news and public affairs director.

AP MOVIE REVIEWS

THAT’S MY BOY: Next to last year’s abysmal “Jack and Jill,” Adam Sandler’s latest movie looks almost inspired. Yet this father-son story is just more of the same gross, lazy comedy that Sandler’s been doing for years, the repetitiveness evident in his generally declining box-office receipts.

Sandler’s audience is outgrowing his movies, even if he isn’t. The idea behind the movie isn’t half bad and provides some parallels to Sandler, a guy who’s made a career out of stunted adolescence. In this one, he plays a middle-aged loser who was in his early teens when he knocked up his seventhgrade teacher and has been the world’s most infantile dad to his boy ever since. With his son (Andy Samberg) now a successful Wall Streeter preparing to marry his dream girl (Leighton Meester), Sandler turns up scheming to fix his own financial problems and reconnect with the son he hasn’t seen in more than a decade. With some thought and effort, the movie could be fresher, smarter and much, much funnier, while still retaining all the gross-out gags and idiocy that Sandler loves. Sandler, also a producer on the movie, and director Sean Anders stay on the really stupid end of stupid, though. R for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, pervasive language and some drug use. 116 minutes. One and a half stars out of four. — David Germain, AP Movie Writer.

YOUR SISTER’S SISTER: An almost hypnotic sense of naturalism draws you into this intimate comic-drama about three people who find their lives intertwined in sudden and unexpected ways. Writerdirector Lynn Shelton, who made the possibility of gay porn between straight best friends seem logical if not downright inevitable in 2009’s “Humpday,” once again employs her preferred tactic of having her actors collaborate on developing their characters and improvising their dialogue. (The stars get a “creative consultant” credit.) The result is appealingly, believably imperfect, and although the end feels a bit too tidy by comparison, it also has an emotional impact that will sneak up on you. That’s thanks to Mark Duplass, who also co-starred in “Humpday,” making an understated, final plea that’s sweetly heartbreaking. It’s probably his best work yet, his most mature and deeply felt, and he’s been everywhere in the past year or so between this, “Safety Not Guaranteed,” the FX series “The League” and his own directing efforts like “Jeff, Who Lives at Home.” Here, Duplass stars as Jack, who’s still feeling shattered a year after the death of his brother.

Jack’s best friend, Iris (Emily Blunt), suggests that he get away for a while on his own by visiting her family’s remote cabin on an island off the Washington coast. When he arrives, though, he finds that Iris’ sister, Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), is already there trying to find her own peace. The two share a painfully honest, awkward, drunken night that leads to an even weirder morning when Iris shows up unannounced. Through the highs and lows, confrontations and revelations, all three performers play off each other beautifully. R for language and some sexual content. 90 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic.

Attendees of the last Concert on the Lawn enjoy the sounds of summer at Ginghamsburgh Church.

Church brings back concert Offers free event with national level entertainment

BY KATIE YANTIS Staff Writer kyantis@tdnpublishing.com Local residents can head out to an area church for some family fun that offers national level entertainment.

Those at Ginghamsburg Church have decided to bring back an event that has been put off for a couple of years — a concert on the lawn — what that also means is bringing in artists such as Sanctus Real, for KING & COUNTRY and Jaime Jamgochian.

“This is the second concert on the lawn,” communication and marketing specialist Brenda Hauser said.

“We used to do a lot of concerts here, but got away from it. Last year was the first year we brought the series back.”

She said the series was started back to give something back to the community, no matter what background area residents may come from.

“The church leadership feels that there is a void in the area of Christian concerts, especially free concerts,” Hauser said. “We budgeted to have this, to get the artists so that we could have free concerts so we can help everyone gather and build community.”

Hauser said last year, the first year back and without much publicity, the event — headlined by MIKESCHAIR — attracted around 800 people.

“We want to invite everyone. It doesn’t matter if you go to a different church, you are welcome to come here and enjoy,” Hauser said.

TIPP CITY She said this concert on the lawn is different than most because the church does not benefit from the concert and doesn’t try to sell anything to those attending.

“It is an environment where there is no motive other than coming together as a community to enjoy Christian music together,” she said.

“It’s a low-key, laid-back, fun environment, and that was the biggest thing that we wanted to make sure of, that we are not marketing anything and that we are not selling anything.”

While the church itself will not be selling anything, there will be food at cost for attendees to purchase as well as merchandise from the band.

Overall, Hauser and Director of worship and music ministry James Keith Posey said the crew at Ginghamsburg is excited to present the lineup for the concert and is hopeful for the lasting affect each group will have on a variety of concert-goers from young to old.

“We are really, really excited about the lineup,” Hauser said. “We were pretty blown away that all three of these artists agreed to come. It’s just good stuff. It’s our gift to the community and we just want everyone to have a good time. It will be a first-class event, but a great laid-back event.”

She also said there will be little of everything for everyone, including a tent to entertain children.

“For the kids, we are going to

have a coloring tent with face painting and other events, staffed by our volunteers so that parents can listen to their concert,” Hauser said.

“There will be activities for the whole family.”

As for the line-up, Sanctus Real is a Christian rock band formed in Toledo. The band has had hits such as “Everything about You,” “I’m Not Alright,” “Forgiven” and “Lead Me.” For King & Country is an Australian alternative Christian rock duo. They were named one of Billboard magazine’s new artists to watch in 2012.

To round out the concert, the church signed up Jaime Jamgochian, a Christian singer, songwriter and worship leader based in Nashville, Tenn.

From everyday issues, Posey said the lyrics of “Lead Me,” from Sanctus Real will impact the men in the group as it is a song centered around the struggles of a husband to be a strong dad and husband.

He also hopes Jamgochian will impact the young women in the group.

“Jaime has a passion for teen girls and young women to really know who they are in Christ. She started a conference called Modest is Hottest, for teen girls helping them to live out true purpose and identity. We hope Jaime will be an inspiration to young women attending Concert on the Lawn,” Posey said in a recent release.

The event is free and the lawn will open at 6 p.m. rain or shine at the church, 6795 S. County Road, 25-A, Tipp City. For more information, visit www.ginghamsburg.org.

Former Piqua resident wins Emmys

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com CLEVELAND — It’s not hard for former Piquad Eric Hewitt to imagine winning an Emmy award for his work as a producer and editor with the Cleveland Indians baseball team, but it’s much easier for him to imagine winning two.

Why? Because Hewitt recently took home two such awards in addition to being nominated in four other categories.

A 1999 Lehman Catholic High School graduate, Hewitt said when he heard he was nominated for six Emmys in a variety of categories he was happy, but once he learned he was awarded two Emmys out of those categories that he was elated.

When the announcement was made, Hewitt was attending the bachelor party being hosted for his brother, and his other brother and father were there, too.

“I was surprised,” he said. “I didn’t expect it. I was shocked to find out. …

It’s just nice to be recognized.”

The Emmys were awarded to Hewitt by the Lower Great Lakes Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts

He said that working with the Cleveland Indians has allowed him insight into not only what goes on out on the field, but also what takes place behind the scenes.

ROCK OF AGES: Just when you thought you’d never hear Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar on Me” again outside of a strip club comes this big, splashy homage to the decadence of 1980s rock ‘n’ roll. Specifically, we’re talking about 1987 on the Sunset Strip, the birthplace of bands like Guns N’ Roses and Poison, and all the big-haired, eyelinered debauchery that defined that scene. Your enjoyment of this musical, based on the Tony-nominated Broadway show, will depend greatly on your enjoyment of this music — because director Adam Shankman crams in a lot of it. Did you make out in a car with your high school honey past curfew to Skid Row’s “I Remember You”? If your answer is yes, you’ll probably have a good time, even though the movie lasts an awfully long time. Sure, the characters are all broad types, from fresh-faced newcomers with dreams of stardom to grizzled, cynical veterans who’ve seen it all. And sure, their antics are glossed-up and watered-down compared with reality to ensure a PG-13 accessibility. But the movie has enough energy to keep you suitably entertained, as well as a knowing, cheeky streak that prevents it from turning too reverent and selfserious. Julianne Hough stars as Sherrie, a wholesome blonde fresh off the bus from Oklahoma who hopes to make it as a singer in Los Angeles.

Instead, she ends up working as a waitress at the venerable (and fictional) Bourbon Room, where she quickly falls for aspiring rocker Drew (Diego Boneta). But the club has lost some of its cache, to the distress of its owner (Alec Baldwin in long hair and a leather vest) and his right-hand man (Russell Brand, being Russell Brand), so they’re hoping a performance from rock god Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise, easily the best part of the film) will keep the place alive. PG-13 for sexual content, suggestive dancing, some heavy drinking and language. 123 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

TROY TV-5

Try to be accepting of sister’s decision

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6:30 p.m.: Talking Pictures 7:30 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: A year ago, my sister, "Sheila," had an affair. She is now living with the Other Man. Sheila and her husband have a 23-year-old son who has been devastated by this.

My family believes the boyfriend is simply using Sheila for her money and to have someone around to help raise his teenage daughter. In addition, he seems very controlling.

Needless to say, we all object to what my sister has done, but she is stubbornly standing by her decision.

I will soon be traveling crosscountry to visit. I have requested that Sheila not bring the boyfriend to any family get-togethers. Although I wouldn't be so insensitive as to invite her soonto-be ex, I'm not comfortable welcoming the boyfriend with open arms. My nephew will be at these gatherings, and his wounds are still fresh. I am trying to be considerate of his feelings.

Sheila says I shouldn't force her to choose, and that her boyfriend is her family now. I say that my nephew has been my family for 23 years.

At what point do we have to include the boyfriend? Should I back down and let her bring the guy? — Caught in the Middle Dear Caught: While we understand your reluctance to accept this man, we urge you to reconsider. Registering your disapproval is justified, but at some point, it can become counterproductive. Sheila is not going to come without him, so your choice is to see both of them or neither. Not seeing Sheila is one option. However, if Sheila marries this man, it will help your nephew enormously if he can learn to tolerate the guy's presence. And it will be easier to do if he has the rest of his supportive family nearby, showing him how to be civil without necessarily being friendly. It will also help Sheila. If this man is as controlling as you fear, someone needs to keep an eye on the situation.

Dear Annie: My younger sister, "Linda," age 50, is getting married for the fifth time. She is planning a wedding in the town where I grew up, about 400 miles away.

My wife refuses to attend the wedding because she says it's tacky and narcissistic to have such an affair for the fifth time, plus it's a long drive. I agree that Linda is rather self-absorbed, and I can only imagine what the guests may be thinking when my sister vows to love and to hold until death do you part. Again.

I agree with my wife on principle, but Linda is my only sister. I could attend without my wife, but I don't want to tell my sister why I'm by myself. How should I handle this? — Big Brother Dear Big Brother: We think you should go, even if it means going without your wife, although it would be nice if she would attend for your sake. If Linda should ask about your wife's absence, simply say she has other commitments. You don't owe anyone more of an explanation than that.

Dear Annie: "Puzzled in Indiana" said his brother refuses to speak to their father because Dad sold the family house when Mom died and built a new one with his new wife, instead of sharing the proceeds of the sale with the kids.

My husband and I have been married for 40 years. We both worked and raised our kids.

Whatever remains in our estate I expect to be for our children. I didn't work extra shifts for the benefit of some future wife.

I would not begrudge my husband the companionship of someone else in the event of my death.

He can share his Social Security and pension, but not everything I worked for. — Retiree in Florida Dear Florida: We understand your position, but "Puzzled" said Mom left the house to Dad, not to the kids. In which case, he was free to do with it as he wished.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Heat packs can help make your flight all right Dear Heloise: I recently went on vacation to Hawaii, an 18-hour plane/ airport trip for me. Because I have trouble with my back when sitting for long periods, I decided to try heat packs on the trip. I bought a package that lasts for eight hours and put it on my back for the last/longest leg of the trip, and I had no pain problem on the trip or when I arrived!

I took the same thing in my luggage for my return trip. Not only did my back not “freeze up” on me, but my body stayed warmer on the plane! — M.B. in Florida As a “road warrior” myself, I think your hint is super. A

Hints from Heloise Columnist Transportation Security Administration agent said that yes, these heat wraps are permitted in carry-on and checked luggage. They suggest waiting to apply the patch until after you go through security. If you are wearing the patch and go through the advanced imaging, it could show as an anomaly,

which might lead to a pat-down.

Happy flying! — Heloise P.S.: Visit my website, www.Heloise.com, for links to my Facebook and Twitter pages — hints, fun facts and more!

Come see photos and check out what’s happening.

COMPUTER HINT Dear Readers: Do you have a million files and documents on your computer and have a hard time finding things when you need them? Here is an organization hint for your computer: Create folders. When in the documents library, for example, you can create subfolders for things like “important documents,” “work docu-

ments,” “trip information,” etc.

That way, you only have to go looking in one folder.

Here’s how to do it: 1. Go to Start (usually in lower left-hand corner) and click on “Computer.”

2. Double click on one of your libraries (documents, for example), usually located on the lefthand side of screen.

3. At the top of the screen, click on “New Folder.”

4. A new folder will appear, which you can title whatever you want.

5. Once created, click and drag files into that new folder.

Hope this handy hint helps!

HOROSCOPE Friday, June 15, 2012 It would be to your advantage in the year ahead to establish as many new social relationships with business contacts as you can. Not only will you have much in common to enjoy in one another, you could do each other some good.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Your instincts for spotting conditions that could produce gains for you are sharper than usual. You might not make a killing, but the more you find, the more it’ll add up.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Having marvelous leadership qualities allows you to quickly instill optimism and enthusiasm in others. You shouldn’t have any trouble getting everybody working for a common cause.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Although you might be the major topic of discussion among your friends, there’s no reason to be disturbed. If you could hear what they’re saying, you’d be flattered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — One secret to success is to give others what you desire, which would be a good course for you today. You’ve heard it before: If you want friends, be friendly.

If you need help, strive to aid others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Something unusual might transpire that will be of enormous importance to you but not necessarily to anybody else — but don’t let that stop you. You’ll recognize it for its worth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Bonds can be strengthened if you allow your companions the same freedom of expression that you expect from them.

This simple rule has multiple benefits.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Some of the time you spend with friends should be devoted to them instead of to you and your interests. If you make your friends feel important, they’ll repay you in kind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — In order to do something successfully, you must first convince yourself that you’re capable of it. Your limitations will only be as strong as you allow them to be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A pending project can easily be concluded to your satisfaction if and when you develop a plan to do so. For positive results, utilize all of your bright ideas.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you want to go out on the town with friends tonight, don’t wait until the last minute. Contact your pals as early as possible to make the arrangements, before they have a chance to make other plans.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t grab the first item you see when shopping without first comparing prices and quality. Those small differences between one item and another could quickly add up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’re endowed with a winning combination of sound ideas and plenty of energy, but things won’t just happen to you by chance. Have a game plan in hand.

13 missing, 7 dead as rains hit Philippines

Pantex workers help band, track birds AMARILLO, Texas (AP) — The flurry of purple martins around Jim Ray’s Randall County house doesn’t quit.

About 40 feet from his house any closer and the migratory birds might fear a predator is near the birds are keeping Ray busy as he bands their small but sizeable colony.

Banding is a popular tracking method among birdwatchers, who attach the lightweight tags on birds’ legs to serve as ID tags. The process, which requires federal and state licenses, helps Ray, 47, track everything from nestlings to the migration of adult purple martins from South America to Texas and Oklahoma every spring.

Amarillo birdwatchers can expect martins by early March, and some make their way to Canada before heading back south for the winter.

Ray, the Pantex Plant’s wildlife biologist, overall has banded about 10,000 purple martins, which are about 7 inches long, and he hopes to exceed 200 martins this year. The bird is the largest member of the swallow family.

Roughly a dozen plastic gourds attached to an aluminum pole bob in the wind about 10 feet above the ground outside of Ray’s home north of Canyon. The height of the gourds, which the birds use to nest, helps the purple martins find prey for their diverse diet, including flying insects like flies, moths and butterflies.

Hollowed-out gourds have attracted purple martins to humans for centuries.

“When the first European settlers arrived here, they found that southeastern tribes had hollowed out gourds,” Ray said. “They (purple martins) have had this association with man for thousands of years.”

When he first starting banding, Ray grew gourds he later hollowed out to house the birds, and even equipped them with access doors. Now he mostly uses plastic substitutes and bird houses because they are just as effective. The birds’ houses can be lowered vertically, which yields some of Ray’s most important research on the species’ reproductive habits.

“When the babies are about 20 days old, we’ll lower the house, take the brood

out and band each leg,” he said.

One of the bands is a specific color that indicates the state where the bird was banded, and observers can then use the band to track the birds, he said.

“We found that most of them do leave the colony, maybe in a way to prevent inbreeding,” Ray said. “They spread out within a 30-mile radius.”

He has banded purple martins and other birds since 1997, including during a stint at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department after graduate school in South Dakota that tipped him off to purple martin banding.

“I went on an all-out search to find out where they were,” he said.

But since 2002, Ray’s purple martin work has been a staple at Pantex. Ray and other Pantex workers have banded more than 8,500 martins in northwest Texas and western Oklahoma.

At Pantex, Ray also researches wind turbines’ effect on wildlife habitats, focusing on bobcats, horned lizards and reptiles.

“I was trying to find time to continue to do my banding, and other employees kind of said, ‘We ought to support you

you’re interacting with people and you’re wearing a B&W Pantex shirt,’” Ray said.

He said President Barack Obama’s directive to promote and protect migratory birds, which includes research and outreach, also helped his cause. Ray’s work even garnered the Pantex Plant a nomination for the 2012 Presidential Migratory Bird Federal Stewardship Award. But the award last month went to U.S. Department of the Interior conservationists who, in 2005, started an initiative to repair neglected bird habitats and native vegetation.

The welfare of animals around the site remains a high priority for Pantex officials, said Bill Mairson, the plant’s division manager for environment, safety and health.

“The environment and all the animals that live in it are a critical consideration for us every day at Pantex,” Mairson said.

“We feel honored to work with such a beautiful environment.”

Louise Chambers, who heads the nonprofit Purple Martin Conservation Association, was glad she found Ray when he was working for the wildlife agency.

“I became aware of Jim because he was a lone voice in the wilderness in extreme West Texas, where range maps didn’t show martins,” she said. “He was helping to build and care for the colonies.”

Ray’s outreach efforts, including talks to civic groups and students, and publicity make him an effective conservation advocate, she said.

“They are two of the most useful tools for building better futures for purple martins,” said Chambers. “Through Jim, we’ve become aware of a network of landlords in West Texas and Oklahoma who care for the birds.”

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Big waves smashed a passenger boat into rocky outcrops and sunk the vessel in stormy weather in the southwestern Philippines, killing at least five people while 54 others were rescued, officials said Wednesday.

The MV Josille 2 sank near before midnight Tuesday near an island off the resort town of El Nido in Palawan Island, said coast guard spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Armand Balilo.

One of the passengers managed to contact the coast guard, sparking a search that also involved the Philippine navy and local fishermen.

Rescuers plucked the bodies of three women and two men at sea, officials said.

Navy Commodore Alexander Lopez said authorities were not sure how many people were on board the boat because the dead and rescued have already exceeded the manifest count of 46.

Navy, coast guard and fishing boats would continue a search in the rough waters, but strong winds prevented military planes from participating, Lopez said.

Many of the rescued passengers have returned to Liminangcong village in Palawan’s Taytay town, where the Manila-bound boat originated, he said.

The onset of the typhoon season brought heavy rains, flash floods and strong waves in southern Mindanao region, where 75 fishermen and villagers were rescued while 13 others are still unaccounted for, regional military spokesman Maj. Jake Obligado said.

He said search and rescue operations were ongoing.

Three days of flooding in several southern provinces displaced nearly 3,000 families and at least two drowned in Sarangani’s Glan town, said Benito Ramos, head of the Philippines’ disaster response agency.

Those who fled were being sheltered in public gymnasiums and other government buildings.

A new storm in the western Pacific was forecast to reach the eastern Philippines later this week and could become the first typhoon of the year.

About 20 tropical storms and typhoons each year batter the Philippine archipelago.

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.

One-sided war Reds finish off sweep in Battle for Ohio CINCINNATI (AP) — This Cleveland-versus-Cincinnati series will be remembered for an inside fastball and a wagging finger.

Don’t overlook that sweep, though.

Brandon Phillips hit one of Cincinnati’s three homers and drove in four more runs on Thursday afternoon, leading the ailing Reds to a 12-5 victory and their first three-game sweep of the Indians since 2008.

Joey Votto and Ryan Ludwick also homered for the Reds, who had a season-high 17 hits.

“What a series!” Ludwick said. “What a win!”

No surprise that Phillips played a starring role for the NL

Central leaders. He went 8 for 13 with two homers and seven RBIs against the team that gave up on him in 2006, raising his career average against Cleveland to .356.

He also paid a price for a dust-up between Indians starter Derek Lowe and Reds manager Dusty Baker, getting hit in the arm by a pitch during a 5-3 win on Wednesday night. Phillips wasn’t aware of why Lowe hit him.

“To be honest, I don’t even know what he said,” Phillips said. “We won. We’re in first place, that’s all I care about.

We’re too busy winning.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lance Armstrong is gearing up for a fight over the latest round of doping allegations.

Armstrong’s lawyers demanded access to evidence gathered by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, including test results and the names of witnesses who said they saw the seven-time Tour de France champion use performance-enhancing drugs.

Armstrong has until June 22 to respond in writing to the fresh allegations, the first step of what could be months-long process.

Armstrong Past, if dirty, must be erased

BY JOHN LEICESTER AP Sports Columnist Take the entire Lance Armstrong story, the cancer survivor’s resurrection from his sick bed to conquer the hardest bike race in the world, and flush it. Goodbye.

Good riddance. Never happened.

That, at least, is what his sport will be able to do if the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency can back up its reams of new allegations that the seventime Tour de France champion wasn’t a larger-than-life, good ol’ American inspiration but merely a co-conspirator in one of the biggest chemically powered frauds in sporting history.

There’s a long way to go before that can happen, if it happens at all. It would be out of character for Armstrong not to contest every charge, sentence and comma in USADA’s 15-page rap sheet, sent to him, his friend and former team manager Johan Bruyneel, three medical doctors and a trainer. USADA alleged they were “part of a doping conspiracy” that used “fear, intimidation and coercion” to keep it secret.

Armstrong liked to recount how he trained harder and better than competitors he trounced from 19992005 on French roads, famously saying in a commercial for one his sponsors, “What am I on? I’m on my bike, busting my ass, six hours a day.”

That isn’t what USADA’s letter says. “Numerous riders, team personnel and others will testify based on personal knowledge acquired either through observing Armstrong dope or through Armstrong’s admissions of doping to them that Lance Armstrong used EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone and cortisone” — in other words, the cornucopia of banned pharmaceutical aids cheats need to give them the edge for cycling’s three-week French showcase in July.

With the millions he earned from the sport and the friends in high places he acquired with his unique personal story and his campaigning against cancer, Armstrong has money and clout to fight these allegations that, if proved and prosecuted, would pull apart his whole narrative and everything he has become.

Inspiration no more, Armstrong would become the face for the era when cycling became a freak show, with riders whose veins bulged but who, strangely, didn’t seem that exhausted after sprinting up a French Alp. Other clowns in this circus were race organizers who pedaled the myth that nothing too serious was amiss, the cycling bureaucrats who didn’t act decisively until the rot was entrenched so deep that the sport’s future was in danger and journalists who breathlessly told the tales of hard men in the hardest race but, with some notable exceptions, didn’t do enough to answer the question, “What am I on?”

Unlike his former teammates Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis, don’t expect Armstrong to make a belated confession. Battling tooth and nail is more his style. He has much more wealth, prestige and admirers than Hamilton and Landis ever did, far too much to lose.

Besides, he insists USADA’s charges “are baseless, motivated by spite and advanced through testimony bought and paid for by promises of anonymity and immunity.”

Cycling is a beautiful sport. The individual effort, the teamwork, the fabulous backdrops of French chateaux make it so. To be able to appreciate all that to the full again, to believe in today’s seemingly more honest generation, the dirty past needs to be exposed and then deleted. Go away. Vanish.

Make way for a cleaner future.

“They are well known to move the goal line on you,” he said, referring to the drug agency.

that case would end the doping questions that have dogged his career, but USADA said it would press its own investigation. The agency notified Armstrong on Tuesday that the new charges would be filed.

Armstrong could be stripped of the Tour titles he won from 1999 to 2005 and banned from cycling, though he retired from the sport last year.

USADA says that blood samples from 2009 and 2010 are consistent with performance-enhancing drug use and that more than 10 former Armstrong teammates and support

personnel will testify they saw him use drugs or talk about using them.

USADA has said it will not release the names of witnesses at this stage to protect them against possible attempts at intimidation.

The 40-year-old Armstrong was training for a June 24 triathlon in France, but was banned Wednesday when the new allegations were announced.

He said Thursday he was returning to the United States, then decided to stay with hopes that triathlon officials would change their mind.

Growing up fast

Holmgren moving to forefront

Bengal QB Dalton more comfortable being a leader CINCINNATI (AP) — If a receiver runs the wrong route, Andy Dalton isn’t shy about taking him aside and correcting the problem.

The quarterback is more comfortable with his role as a leader entering his second season with the Cincinnati Bengals, taking more responsibility on his inexperienced shoulders. He was so concerned about learning the play book as a rookie last season that he left a lot of things up to his coaches and teammates.

There was a clear difference during the Bengals’ three-day minicamp that ended Thursday.

“I think he’s just more comfortable or confident,” offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “He’s not walking into a situation where who knows if the other starter’s coming back, if he’s going to have to play and all these other things he had to have in the back of his mind.

“Now he knows it’s his team and we’re rallying behind him and we’ll go as far as he takes us. He has that feeling.”

The second-round pick from TCU took the Bengals to the playoffs last season, where they lost to Houston in the first round. That was big stuff around Cincinnati, which has had only three winning records since 1991.

Both Dalton and rookie receiver A.J. Green — Cincinnati’s first-round pick — made the Pro Bowl.

It was more impressive because Dalton had so little time to learn the offense. The NFL lockout prevented him from working with coaches after the draft. A year ago this week, the Bengals were holding voluntary workouts at a soccer complex in the suburbs and at the University of Cincinnati, with secondstring quarterback Jordan Palmer running the offense.

When the league and the players reached a

Dalton is more outspoken these days, not at all shy about correcting a receiver's sloppy route or taking control of the huddle. new labor deal, Dalton wasn’t sure if he would be the starter or whether starting quarterback Carson Palmer would relent on his threat to sit out if he wasn’t traded.

The entire offense was learning a new system, coordinator Jay Gruden’s West Coast style passing attack. There was little time with a lot to do.

Correct a teammate for making a mistake?

Not a priority.

“I was trying to get the next play or trying to do things like that, and I let the coaches handle it,” Dalton said. “Right now, I feel like I can go over there and say something because the next play is second nature.

“I think I’ve done a better job this spring. If a guy runs a route a little

differently, instead of letting a coach do it, I’m going to go over there and talk to him. Things like that, where we make sure we’re on the same page.”

Dalton threw for 3,398 yards with 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions last season, including a 332-yard game at Denver that set a Bengals passing record for a rookie. His 80.4 passer rating was the best by an AFC rookie.

He became only the fifth rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw for 3,000 yards. Game by game, he convinced the Bengals he was their quarterback of the future — one of the factors in owner Mike Brown’s decision to trade Carson Palmer to Oakland at midseason.

“I feel like everybody on this team understands and knows what they’re going to get out of me,” Dalton said. “This year I am able to step out a little bit more. I was able to prove myself a little bit last year, and now everyone knows and understands we’re going to be on the same page, and I can voice that a little bit more.

“I probably should have done a little better job last year, but there were a lot of other things that were on my mind.

But this year, I’m comfortable with everybody that we’ve got.”

They’ve noticed.

“Andy has looked good,” Green said. “He’s more comfortable out there. He knows it’s his team this year.”

BEREA (AP) — Mike Holmgren plans a major change in his third season as president of the Cleveland Browns.

And it starts at the top of the organization — with him.

Aware of outside criticism that he’s been detached since coming to Cleveland and sensitive to questions about his commitment to the franchise, Holmgren vowed to be more available to the media and fans than he has been since joining the Browns in 2010.

Holmgren chose to stay in the background during his first two years so he wouldn’t upstage his coach or general manager.

T h e coach they called “The Big Show” in Green Bay and Seattle for HOLMGREN his largerthan-life persona, is moving back out front.

“I want it to help,” he said.

“I do not want it to be a burden on the coach or our general manager. And if I can help and open things up and make some things a little clearer for our fans, that’s my goal and that is my only goal.”

With the opening of training camp more than one month away, Holmgren spent nearly an hour Thursday addressing a variety of topics including the team’s quarterback competition, rumors owner Randy Lerner plans to sell the Browns, the team’s rift with Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown and expectations for next season.

After presenting an award to the 100,000th fan to join the Browns Backers — Cleveland’s global fan club — Holmgren opened his remarks by explaining his intentions to be more visible during the upcoming season.

He said his past reluctance to speak about football matters as a front-office executive stemmed from his time on the sideline.

“As a coach, for a long, long time, anytime the president got involved with football stuff it used to irritate me a little bit,” he said. “We had many discussions about that, if something is going to be said about the football, I would like to be the one who says it. I think it’s important to have one voice.”

3 more Sandusky accusers take stand BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Three more accusers took the stand at Jerry Sandusky’s sex-abuse trial Thursday, one of whom said the former Penn State assistant football coach called himself the “tickle monster” before embracing him in a shower and another who said he was forced into sex acts during more than a hundred nights he spent in the ex-coach’s home.

A state investigator also testified that authorities heard about a key witness, assistant coach Mike McQueary, through an anonymous email to Centre County prosecutors. The investigator, Anthony

Sassano, said authorities identified some of Jerry Sandusky’s alleged abuse victims through pictures and lists seized from his home and office and that the university was “not very quick” in getting investigators information as part of the probe.

A third alleged victim who testified Thursday said he loved Sandusky and that he viewed him as a father figure, but that he became angry with Sandusky because he never reached out to him after the witness moved away.

The three alleged victims who testified Thursday brought to eight the number of accusers to

take the stand over the trial’s first four days. Jurors also heard about two other alleged victims who have not been located by investigators.

The ex-coach faces 52 criminal counts involving alleged assaults of 10 boys over a 15-year span. He denies the charges, which brought disgrace to Penn State and led to the ouster of both the school’s president and Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno.

Sandusky’s attorney questioned accusers Thursday about connections they had with other alleged victims. The defense has claimed that the accusers have financial motives,

but they’ve all denied that.

After testimony ended Thursday, Judge John Cleland said court would resume on Monday.

“Between now and then, we’ve got three days of temptation. I can’t tell you — although I tried to express it a number of times — how important it is that you not talk, text, tweet, watch televisions, let anybody talk to you about it, share any information — particularly share any opinions about what you think may be going on in the case,” he told jurors. “It’s better to say absolutely nothing.”

Senior Deputy Attorney General Joseph

McGettigan told The Associated Press that prosecutors had not yet rested in their case against Sandusky.

The last of the trial’s eight accusers was an 18year-old who recently graduated from high school. The teen said his mother summoned police to their home to talk to him after Sandusky’s arrest in November 2011.

The accuser said Thursday that he was 11 or 12 when he first met Sandusky in 2004.

Sandusky took him to Penn State football games and gave him money and gifts, including a tennis racket and a running suit.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

■ Golf

US Open ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 in his round, including a 35foot putt that banged into the back of the cup on No. 5, Woods opened with a 1-under 69 to raise hopes that he can finally end that four-year drought in the majors.

“I felt like I had control of my game all day,” Woods said.

“Just stuck to my game plan — and executed my game plan.”

He was vague on the details of that plan, though it surely wasn’t the one followed by the other two guys in his star-powered group.

Phil Mickelson hit a wild

hook for his opening tee shot that was never found, presumably lost in a cypress tree, and he matched his worst opening round in a U.S. Open at 76. Bubba Watson chopped his way through the rough to a 78, showing that “Bubba Golf” works better at Augusta National than at Olympic Club.

They weren’t the only ones to suffer.

Only six players managed to break par in the opening round, which would have come as a surprise to none of the players. After opening with a birdie, Joe Ogilvie turned to his caddie and said,

“Seventy-one more pars and we’re hoisting the trophy.” He shot 73.

Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world, is trying to capture his first major. It most likely won’t be this one.

He failed to make a single birdie and shot 79. He played with Rory McIlroy, the defending champion and No. 2 in the world, who shot a 77.

Lee Westwood, No. 3 in the world and the other member of the rank group, was 4 over through six holes and rallied for a 73.

The shocking numbers: The top three in the world ranking combined for three

birdies.

“It shows how tough it is,” Donald said. “There aren’t that many opportunities out there.”

McIlroy said to a pool reporter that he simply got out of position. What didn’t need saying is that Olympic Club, in firm conditions and with fairways that are among the toughest to hit, is a far different test from Congressional, where the 23year-old shattered the U.S. Open scoring record at 16under 268.

The good news for McIlroy? His record is safe here.

Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana falls into a fan trying to catch a foul ball hit by Cincinnati Reds’ Todd Frazier in the fifth inning Thursday in Cincinnati.

Sweep ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 finish a road trip,” manager Manny Acta said.

“You’ve got to give them credit. They beat us on both sides of the ball.

Their starters pretty much held our offense down, and they out-hit us, too.”

Phillips was upset at his treatment in Cleveland before he was traded to Cincinnati. He has mellowed over the years, but got a lot of enjoyment out of beating his former team.

“Deep down, it feels good to beat up on the Tribe,” Phillips said. “But they’re moving in the right direction. Manny Acta’s a good coach — I mean manager — and the majority of the guys who are there are new. So, go Tribe.”

There’s plenty of intrigue for the rematch

by Lake Erie next week.

Lowe holds a personal grudge against Baker for something that happened between them several years ago — he won’t say what exactly. When Mat Latos threw an inside fastball to Lowe during the second game of the series, he gestured toward Baker, who waved his fin-

ger back.

Lowe plunked Phillips on the arm in the bottom of the inning, drawing a warning from the umpires. There were no further on-field problems.

Lowe accused Baker of ordering the pitch because of their personal issues. A day later, Baker said it wasn’t personal but a payback for Lowe hitting Votto in the back during a 2009 game. Their exchange provided an edge to the series, which resumes Monday in Cleveland with Lowe on the mound.

Because it’ll be in an AL park, Lowe won’t have to bat.

The Reds won the first two games of the series even though more than a half-dozen players were sick. Leake had to be pushed back a day to give him more time to recover.

He left after giving up seven hits, including two solo homers by Shin-Soo Choo, in 4 1-3 innings.

An exhausted Leake sat on the bench and buried his face in a towel.

Baker came over and put his hands on Leake’s shoulders, showing his appreciation for the pitcher’s effort.

■ Figure Skating

Seminar ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 follow her. As young kids grow up, they pick skaters to look up too. It’s really cool that she’s going to come here (to Troy) to share the ice with them.”

The event will be held at Troy’s own Hobart Arena tonight at 7:30 p.m.

The skaters are raising donations for the Skate For Hope through seminar fees, t-shirt sales and will make a contribution to the foundation in Flatt’s name.

Proceeds from Skate for Hope are donated to the Stefanie Spielman Fund at the Ohio State University James Cancer Center and the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer.

Skate For Hope is a Columbus-based skating event, which benefits

breast cancer research and awareness. Each year, hundreds of figures skaters from central Ohio — along with Olympic and national champions from across the country — gather to put on a show and honor those who have been touched by the disease. Skate For Hope holds its ninth anniversary show at Nationwide Arena in Columbus on Saturday.

“Skate For Hope is a cancer-driven charity that does various performances all over the country,” Replogle said. “We welcome the exposure for Rachael’s seminar for the South Dayton Figure Skating Club, the Troy Skating Club and Skate For Hope.

“It’s really a great cause, and we are glad we can help out.”

Crashing the party Kent State, Stony Brook all the buzz at College World Series OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — South Carolina is going for three straight national titles and Florida is the No. 1 seed.

Yet all the talk at the College World Series is about Stony Brook and Kent State. Now that these upstarts have crashed the party, what will they do?

The Seawolves of Stony Brook have gotten the rock-star treatment since their stunning superregional victory at LSU and undoubtedly will be the fan favorites when they open Friday against No. 2 national seed UCLA (47-14).

“People just want to hang out with us for some reason,” center fielder Travis Jankowski said Thursday. “I don’t know why. They just love us.”

With apologies to Kent State, the Seawolves have become the feel-good story of the summer in sports.

They’re the first team from the Northeast since 1986 to make it to college baseball’s biggest stage.

They’re here as a No. 4 regional seed, the lowest of the low, even though they won a nation-leading 52 games against just 13 losses. The last No. 4 to make it was Fresno State in 2008, and the Bulldogs ended up winning the national title.

While Jankowski was preparing to take batting practice during the Seawolves’ public workout, staff ace Tyler Johnson was leaning against a wall between the clubhouse and dugout doing a photo shoot with ESPN. “Pure craziness,” Johnson told a passer-by.

“I’ve never had my picture taken so many times.”

Stony Brook coach Matt Senk has told his players to enjoy their new celebrity — and then be ready to show up and play ball Friday.

“We’re looking to strike a balance,” Senk said.

“Today was just amazing — the autograph session

Kent State will play against Arkansas on Saturday in a College World Series game. was just blowing our minds. The people of Omaha since we’ve been here have been absolutely incredible. Our attention will be turning back to baseball. They feel very good about what they’ve accomplished to this point and more than anything they don’t want to disappoint each other and not go out there and play their very best.”

The Seawolves will send Johnson (12-1) to the mound against Adam Plutko (11-3).

UCLA coach John Savage, asked if the Bruins are a bit forgotten in all the fuss about Stony Brook, said the situation reminds him of 2010 when TCU was here for the first time. The Horned Frogs were the clear hometown favorite when they played UCLA, and Savage expects the same for Stony Brook.

“We hope the stadium is filled and if everyone is pulling for them, I think that’s what college baseball is all about,” Savage said. “We’ll embrace it and go play.”

Kent State (46-18), the first Mid-American Conference team to play in the CWS since Eastern Michigan in 1976, opens Saturday against Arkansas (44-20). David Starn (11-3) will start against Arkansas’ DJ Baxendale (7-5).

Golden Flashes coach Scott Stricklin said he

doesn’t mind that Stony Brook seems to have gotten the most attention this week. Any other year, in a similar circumstance, the Flashes would be all the rage.

“We’re getting all the love we need, trust me,” he said. “Northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania, we’re getting all the exposure we need. We don’t recruit nationally anyway.

But I feel we’re getting a lot of respect. I’m thrilled for Stony Brook. The thing I’m most thrilled about is that they’re in the other bracket.”

Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said he’s not surprised to see Kent State at the CWS. The Flashes were on the losing end of a hard-fought regional at Texas last year with a team Stricklin believed was capable of making it to Omaha.

“It’s not like Kent State came out of nowhere,” Van Horn said. “They’ve been pretty good for a long time, and Scott has taken them to another level. Some great coaches go through there. He’s just taken it through the roof.”

The second game Saturday pits South Carolina (45-17) against Florida (47-18) in a rematch of the 2011 finals.

The Gamecocks, trying to become the first team since the great Southern California squads of the early 1970s to win more

than two national championships in a row, have lost three of four games against their Southeastern Conference rival this season.

Michael Roth (7-1), the winning pitcher in the title-clinching game against the Gators last year, will get the start against Brian Johnson (84). Johnson won both his previous starts against the Gamecocks this season.

South Carolina made it back to the CWS after overcoming a stretch in which it lost five of their first six Southeastern Conference games.

“I was a little anxious early and probably was a little hard to play for,” coach Ray Tanner said.

“The older guys took the younger guys under their wings and helped them mature and develop. They got a little better, and we won some close games down the stretch and were able to win enough to be here.”

Gators coach Kevin O’Sullivan said he doubted the result of last year’s CWS finals would serve as motivation for his club.

“South Carolina beat us fair and square,” he said.

“Bottom line: they played better, and there was nothing for our players to hang their heads about. Every time you play them, you have to play your best.

Saturday night will be no different.”

Cain’s perfection a Giant first SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Matt Cain tossed and turned and managed all of about four hours of sleep following his history-making gem for the Giants.

Perfectly understandable.

Cain’s perfect game will be remembered among the most masterful pitching performances in regularseason baseball history, if not ever.

San Francisco’s ace right-hander dominated the Houston Astros every which way Wednesday night in a 10-0 win for the 22nd perfect game ever and the fifth no-hitter already this year.

He struck out a careerbest 14 batters, making up

more than half of his 27 straight outs and tying Sandy Koufax for most Ks in a perfecto. Cain (8-2) threw 19 first-pitch strikes and never faced a 2-0 count in winning his career-high seventh straight start.

“I’m still pumped,” said Cain, who was back on the field playing catch with fellow starter Madison Bumgarner by 10:15 a.m.

Thursday after a workout.

“I haven’t really had a ton of time to sit down and look over stuff, see how it all happened. I don’t know that it has hit me yet, maybe when I can sit down and watch the highlights, go over the game.”

Add in a pair of improbable catches by Melky

Cabrera and Gregor Blanco to preserve the bid, and Cain wound up with the first perfect game in the franchise’s storied 130year history and its 14th no-hitter. It was the third this month, as Cain joined the Mets’ Johan Santana and a combined no-no by Seattle’s staff.

He threw 125 pitches — most ever in a perfect game — and 86 of those for strikes. Seven of his strikeouts were called. He didn’t shake off catcher Buster Posey even once. They were in sync on this memorable evening, all right.

“It’s something I always wanted to do since I was little, but it’s kind of a blur when it actually happens,”

Cain said Thursday, when the Giants lost their series finale to Houston 6-3.

Cain followed up Bumgarner’s 12-strikeout night Tuesday, and they became the first Giants pitchers to record consecutive double-digit strikeout games since Vida Blue and John Montefusco in May 1978.

“Things like this bring a team together even more,” San Francisco skipper Bruce Bochy said. “That’s the first one I’ve seen. It was an incredible night.

Matt was going about it like a normal game. That last at-bat he sprinted to first base and I yelled, ‘Hey, take it easy.’ But he always plays the game hard.”

Home plate umpire Ted Barrett waits as San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain warms up before the ninth inning against the Houston Astros in San Francisco, Wednesday. Barrett was behind the plate when San Francisco Giants’ right-hander Matt Cain pitched a perfect game in a 10-0 victory. He also was the home plate umpire when David Cone threw his perfect game for the New York Yankees in a 6-0 win over the Montreal Expos on July 18, 1999. It made Barrett the first major league umpire to call balls and strikes for two perfect games.
