‘Selfless servant’ honored Taylor named winner of community service award

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@civitasmedia.com

As the West battles one catastrophic wildfire after another, the federal government is spending less and less on its main program for preventing blazes in the first place.

A combination of government austerity and the ballooning cost of battling the ruinous fires has taken a bite out of federal efforts to remove the dead trees and flammable underbrush that clog Western forests. The U.S. Forest Service says that next year it expects to treat 1 million fewer acres than it did last year. See Page 9.

“I was surprised and shocked because there are so many people in Troy that do so many things to serve, and that I would be nominated and selected was a surprise,” Taylor said. “I know some of the people who have received it in the past, and I was really humbled that I could be a part of it. I felt I wasn’t in the same class — I’m not sure if that’s the right word.”

But Taylor indeed has a long history of helping the c o m m u n i t y.

In 1990, he helped form Partners in Hope, a conglomerate TAYLOR volunteer group composed of 15 local churches. The intention was to form a united

County rated ‘Storm Ready’

Actor James Gandolfini dies James Gandolfini, whose portrayal of a brutal, emotionally delicate mob boss in HBO’s “The Sopranos” helped create one of TV’s greatest drama series and turned the mobster stereotype on its head, died Wednesday in Italy.

He was 51.

Gandolfini died while on holiday in Rome, the cable channel and Gandolfini’s managers Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders said in a joint statement. No cause of death was given. See Page 5.

An American official, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to disclose the information, said he still expects to have the first public meeting with Taliban representatives in the next few days in Qatar but that no exact meeting date has been set.

Nevertheless, the militants’ attempt at a publicity coup clearly played to Karzai’s longstanding distrust of both the Taliban and the United States, who had announced Tuesday that they would pursue negotiations in the Qatari capital of Doha at least initially without the Afghan government.

It may have also given Karzai an excuse to try to head off the Doha talks, which he probably agreed to support only reluctantly and under U.S. pressure. Karzai has for years opposed

In a statement released by his office, Karzai lashed out at the U.S., using his leverage with Washington by suspending negotiations over what presence the United States will keep in Afghanistan after 2014. He said his High Peace Council would not enter talks with the Taliban until the negotiations were “completely Afghan.”

National Weather Service officials honored Miami County Emergency Management officials who work behind the scenes to keep the community safe before, during and after severe weather by designating the county as “Storm Ready” on Wednesday.

Miami County joined just 21 other Ohio counties as a “Storm Ready” county, as deemed by National Weather Service officials in the Miami County Commissioners chambers in a brief award ceremony.

Mary Jo Parker, the Warning Coordination Meteorologist of the National Weather Service in Wilmington, presented Miami County’s Emergency Management officials with a certificate recognizing their emergency planning efforts in front of Miami County Commissioners.

“We’re really excited to recognize the county and its officers for obtaining Storm Ready recognition,” Parker said.

Miami County Commissioner Jack Evans commended the efforts of the county’s emergency management team for its “behind the scenes efforts” during catastrophic events.

“We really appreciate you making Miami County safer,” Evans said.

Brian Castner, of the Storm Ready committee of the state of Ohio Emergency Management Agency, said the process to become a Storm Ready county takes approximately three months.

Kenny Artz, director of the Miami County Emergency Management organization, said his team started plans to become a Storm Ready county after reviewing the concepts three years ago.

U.S. history and American government classes at the high school will be adopting new endof-course exams, in accordance with Senate Bill 165. Senate Bill 165 states that schools must have exams that will test the knowledge of American documents such as the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.

Therefore, the class syllabus will also have to be altered for both classes in order to prepare the students for these tests. The U.S. history class will be given an ACT end-of-course exam, while the American government class will be one that the teacher will create.

Taylor has served on mission trips in Sudan, Cambodia and Cuba, helping people grow their businesses from the ground up.

The experiences are rewarding on a personal level, he said. “I see the change that — as small as I am — I can make in people’s lives. Every

Though Taylor keeps busy between his job at Troy Ford and volunteering at various organizations, he strives to always have plenty of time with his wife Carolyn and their children and grandchildren. “It’s really important I attend every event they have. That’s my No. 1 priority of everything — attending the grand-kids’ events and games and singing concerts. And I hope I can lead by example,� Taylor said.

Artz said. “We are excited about this recognition,

which recognizes the efforts of those you don’t see working behind the scenes.�

Parker said severe weather poses a significant threat around the country, and collaboration efforts from counties, such as Miami County’s Emergency Management teams, helps to improve the quality of awareness before, during and after severe weather.

Parker said a major benefit of being designated a Storm Ready county includes how the county’s emergency management team assesses weather threats to increase the time and effectiveness of warnings for citizens and their property.

The timeliness of the alerts is crucial to keep fatalities and property damage at a minimum during storms, Parker said.

Parker said training and planning by officials such as the Miami County Emergency Management team “goes a long way to saving lives.�

Parker commended the county’s emergency officials for offering the community programs such as storm spotter classes and for its emergency response drills to keep officials trained and ready in emergencies throughout the year.

Miami County Commissioners Richard Coultice and John O’Brien thanked the Miami County Emergency Management officials their hard work to add Miami County to the list of Storm Ready counties in Ohio.

PERSPECTIVE

Troy Daily News Editorial Board FRANK BEESON / Group Publisher DAVID FONG / Executive Editor

“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 The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, on revelations about NSA demand a close look by Congress: Revelations that the National Security Agency has for seven years quietly monitored U.S. telephone and Internet traffic with the permission of a secret federal court should be of concern to every American.

For more than 200 years — with few governmental incursions except in times of war — every American’s freedom from unreasonable searches has been guaranteed under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.

But in an age of international terrorism, government faces the challenge of balancing every citizen’s constitutional rights against its own absolute responsibility to protect Americans.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court is said to have approved the NSA’s “mining” of the metadata that is automatically collected by the phone companies every time a call is made. Phone numbers are logged, ready for an analysis by incredibly sophisticated computer software. The NSA also collects emails, documents, photos and other material.

An American intelligence contractor, however, says intelligence gatherers are doing more than merely logging connections between phone numbers. Citing a visceral revulsion against such intrusions into the lives of U.S. citizens, Edward Snowden went public, went to Hong Kong and then went missing.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican, said, “The National Security Agency does not listen to Americans’ phone calls and it is not reading Americans’ emails. None of these programs allow that.”

Rogers said in a statement that “anyone responsible for leaking classified information should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.”

But Snowden says he made his revelations because “the NSA routinely lies in response to congressional inquiries about the scope of surveillance in America.” He said his greatest fear is that nothing will change.

Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, this week characterized the program — analyzing billions of phone calls — as “an extraordinary invasion of privacy” and an assault on the Constitution.

If this debate were occurring in the 18th century, the discussion would be easier. Authorities knocking down doors in the middle of the night is the kind of overt threat that’s easy to comprehend. But 21st-century technology gives government ways to get through doors undetected.

Tampa (Fla.) Tribune on easing travel restrictions to Cuba to boost freedom: There is a quick way for our nation to help overwhelm Cuba’s censorship and propaganda.

Simply allow Americans — the most effective ambassadors for democracy and free enterprise — to travel more easily to Cuba.

Having more Americans visit Cuba would almost surely boost capitalism in a country that is cautiously experimenting with property rights and private enterprise.

This can be done without the political firefight of eliminating the 50year-old Cuban embargo, which greatly restricts trade and travel to Cuba.

We think the embargo no longer serves a useful purpose. Indeed, it gives the Cuban government a scapegoat for its failed economic policies.

As John Caulfield, chief of Mission of the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, says, Cuba’s financial woes are a result of “Cuba’s choice of an economic model.”

But eliminating the embargo or allowing unrestricted travel to Cuba will require congressional approval, a political challenge.

In contrast, President Barack Obama by executive order can require general licenses be issued for all approved travel to Cuba.

Americans now can receive a visa to travel for such specific purposes as education and cultural studies. These trips must be guided by licensed travel services that are required to follow a strict agenda.

The approval process for the specific visas can be cumbersome and time-consuming. Obtaining general license is far less complicated, so expanding its use would eliminate red tape and diminish barriers to travel.

The Cold War is over and the Soviet Union is gone. Cuba remains an authoritarian state, but its grip seems to be slipping. That control would be further eroded should Americans be allowed to spread the seeds of capitalism and freedom in a country whose people badly need them.

DOONESBURY

Something that is truly worth fighting for To say my little sister and I fought growing up is sort of like saying the whole Titanic deal was “a minor aquatic incident.”

Truthfully, it is easier for me to remember the things we didn’t fight about than to remember the things we did fight about. We fought about the television remote. We fought about who got to sit in the recliner when we watched television. We fought about who’s turn it was to empty the dishwasher. We fought about song lyrics. We fought about who started the fight when we got in trouble for fighting.

One thing we never did, however, was let anyone else fight with one another.

As is the case with most siblings, it was all fine and good to fight with one another — but if anyone else dared step into the fray, they had better be prepared for an unpleasant experience.

I was always quick to stick up for her and never had any problems letting a new boyfriend know that if they ever hurt her, I would have no problems hurting them.

(Fortuantely for me, my little

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor sister never dated anyone I felt I couldn’t whip).

My second senior year at The Ohio State University, my sister joined me in Columbus for her freshman year. We spent only one quarter together before I (finally) graduated, but in the three-plus decades we’ve been alive together on this planet, it’s probably the closest we’ve ever been — and not just because I totally had a crush on her dorm roommate, who was on the synchronized swimming team at The Ohio State University.

I felt it was my brotherly duty to look out for my little sister at Ohio State.

I figured that even if we didn’t always get along, I wasn’t going to let her be thrown to the wolves. I took

her with me to all my favorite OSU establishments, gave her rides home in a car I eventually gave to one of her boyfriends and generally made sure she was safe and secure.

And, had I needed to, I would have fought for my little sister — and I know she would have done the same for me.

My sister is a fighter — and I have no doubts her little boy is going to be the same way.

Last Sunday, my little sister Jenny and her husband Jeff welcomed their first child — and the 13th Fong grandchild into the family — a beautiful baby boy named Hartley Harrison Dulle.

Much like his mother, little Hartley wasn’t the most patient child around — in fact, he couldn’t wait to get out into the world, coming six weeks early.

He was supposed to be born in Columbus, but with Jenny and Jeff visiting Troy for Father’s Day weekend, he ended up being born at Upper Valley Medical Center.

Of course, there are inherent problems with a child being born that early. The first week of Hartley’s life has been

anything but pleasant — for him or the rest of us. He immediately had trouble breathing — so much so that he eventually had to be taken by Careflight to a Columbus hospital. Needless to say, none of us has been sleeping much lately.

In the past few days, little Hartley’s condition has improved — but there’s still a battle to be fought. And, in true Fong fashion, he’s going to fight that fight.

When they tried to give my baby nephew the treatment he needed, he fought back so hard he had to be sedated.

All the doctors and nurses keep telling my sister how feisty he is, particularly considering all he’s already been through.

I have no doubts where he gets it from.

I also have no doubts he’s going to keep fighting until he’s better. Keep fighting, little buddy — you come by it honestly.

Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. Keep fighting, Double H.

Actor James Gandolfini dies in Italy at age 51 LOS ANGELES (AP) — James Gandolfini, whose portrayal of a brutal, emotionally delicate mob boss in HBO’s “The Sopranos” helped create one of TV’s greatest drama series and turned the mobster stereotype on its head, died Wednesday in Italy. He was 51.

Gandolfini died while on holiday in Rome, the cable channel and Gandolfini’s managers Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders said in a joint statement. No cause of death was given.

“He was a genius,” said “Sopranos” creator David Chase. “Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time.

A great deal of that genius resided in those sad eyes.”

Gandolfini, who won three Emmy Awards for his role as Tony Soprano, worked steadily in film and on stage after the series ended. He earned a 2009 Tony Award nomination for his role in the celebrated production of “God of Carnage.”

“Our hearts are shattered and we will miss him deeply. He and his family were part of our family for many years and we are all grieving,” said managers Armstrong and Sanders.

HBO called the actor a “special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated everyone, no matter their title or position, with equal respect.” The channel expressed sympathy for his wife and children.

Joe Gannascoli, who played Vito Spatafore on the HBO drama, said he was shocked and heartbroken.

“Fifty-one and leaves a kid — he was newly married. His son is fatherless now … It’s way too young,” Gannascoli said.

Gandolfini’s performance in “The Sopranos” was indelible and careermaking, but he refused to be stereotyped as the bulky mobster who was a therapy patient, family man and apparently effortless killer.

In a December 2012 interview

with The Associated Press, a rare sitdown for the star who avoided the spotlight, he was upbeat about a slew of smaller roles following the breathtaking blackout ending in 2007 of “The Sopranos.”

“I’m much more comfortable doing smaller things,” Gandolfini said in the interview. “I like them. I like the way they’re shot; they’re shot quickly. It’s all about the scripts that’s what it is and I’m getting some interesting little scripts.”

He played Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta in Kathryn Bigelow’s Osama bin Laden hunt docudrama “Zero Dark Thirty.” He worked with Chase for the ’60s period drama “Not Fade Away,” in which he played the old-school father of a wannabe rocker.

And in Andrew Dominick’s crime flick “Killing Them Softly,” he played an aged, washed-up hit man.

There were comedies such as the political satire “In the Loop,” and the heartwarming drama “Welcome to the Rileys,” which co-starred Kristen Stewart. He voiced the Wild Thing Carol in “Where the Wild Things Are.” Gandolfini grew up in Park Ridge, N.J., the son of a building maintenance chief at a Catholic school and a high school lunch lady.

While Tony Soprano was a largerthan-life figure, Gandolfini was exceptionally modest and obsessive he described himself as “a 260-pound Woody Allen.”

In past interviews, his cast mates had far more glowing descriptions to offer.

“I had the greatest sparring partner in the world, I had Muhammad Ali,” said Lorraine Bracco, who, as Tony’s psychiatrist Dr. Melfi, went one-on-one with Gandolfini in their penetrating therapy scenes. “He cares what he does, and does it extremely well.”

After earning a degree in communications from Rutgers University, Gandolfini moved to New York, where he worked as a bartender, bouncer and nightclub manager. When he was

25, he joined a friend of a friend in an acting class, which he continued for several years.

Gandolfini’s first big break was a Broadway production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” where he played Steve, one of Stanley Kowalski’s poker buddies. His film debut was in Sidney Lumet’s “A Stranger Among Us” (1992).

Director Tony Scott, who killed himself in August 2012, had praised Gandolfini’s talent for fusing violence with charisma which he would perfect in Tony Soprano.

Gandolfini played a tough guy in Tony Scott’s 1993 film, “True Romance,” who beat Patricia Arquette’s character to a pulp while offering such jarring, flirtatious banter as, “You gotta lot of heart kid.”

Scott called Gandolfini “a unique combination of charming and dangerous.”

Gandolfini continued with supporting roles in “Crimson Tide” (1995), “Get Shorty” (1995), “The Juror” (1996), Lumet’s “Night Falls on Manhattan” (1997), “She’s So Lovely” (1997), “Fallen” (1998) and “A Civil Action” (1998). But it was “True Romance” that piqued the interest of Chase.

He shared a Broadway stage with Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden in “God of Carnage” when he received the best-actor Tony nod. He was in “On the Waterfront” with David Morse and was an understudy in a revival of “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 1992 starring Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange.

In his 2012 AP interview, Gandolfini said he gravitated to acting as a release, a way to get rid of anger. “I don’t know what exactly I was angry about,” he said.

“I try to avoid certain things and certain kinds of violence at this point,” he said last year. “I’m getting older, too. I don’t want to be beating people up as much. I don’t want to be beating women up and those kinds of things that much anymore.”

Fantagraphics co-publisher Kim Thompson dies at 56 SEATTLE (AP) — Kim Thompson co-publisher of the influential Seattlebased publisher Fantagraphics Books known for celebrated alternative comics, graphic novels and comic strip anthologies has died.

Fantagraphics announced Thompson’s death Wednesday, four months after he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was 56.

Fantagraphics has been publishing since 1976, beginning with literary and comics, journalism and essays, and then comics, graphic novels, anthologies and translations of works from other languages. Many of its titles are some of the best known among readers and collectors of graphic novels and books, with works like “Love and Rockets” by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez; Daniel Clowes’ “Ghost World” and the “Acme Novelty Library.”

Thompson was born in Denmark and moved to the U.S. when he was 21 in 1977. Soon after arriving, Thompson met Gary Groth and Michael Catron who founded Fantagraphics. He began contributing to “The Comics Journal” soon after.

“He was my partner and close friend for 36 years,” Groth said in a statement.

Along with Groth, Thompson was one of the leaders in bringing adult themes and diverse characters into comics, along with stripping the focus on superheroes.

“It’s a whole generation of guys who came along … in the mid-1970s, they decided to see more and better comics, not just gutter media, lowest common denominator media it had become,” said Tom Spurgeon, who worked with Thompson in the 1990s at The Comics Journal and now runs the website The Comics Reporter.

FOOD

Thursday, June 20, 2013

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

World Food Prize goes to three biotech scientists DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The World Food Prize Foundation on Wednesday took the bold step of awarding this year’s prize to three pioneers of plant biotechnology whose work brought the world genetically modified crops.

The private nonprofit foundation, which is in part funded by biotechnology companies, refused to shy away from the controversy surrounding genetically modified crops that organic food advocates say are harmful to people and the environment.

“If we were to be deterred by a controversy, that would diminish our prize,” said the foundation’s president, Kenneth Quinn, a retired U.S. diplomat.

This year’s award goes to Marc Van Montagu, founder and chairman of the Institute of Plant Biotechnology Outreach at Ghent University in Belgium; Mary-Dell Chilton, founder and researcher at Syngenta Biotechnology; and Robert Fraley, chief technology officer at Monsanto.

Van Montagu and Chilton independently developed the technology in the 1980s to stably transfer foreign genes into plants, a discovery that set up a race to develop tools to genetically engineer plants. It allowed other scientists to incorporate genetic traits in plants to better withstand drought, extreme heat and to fight off pests and disease. Fraley was the first to successfully transfer immunity to specific bacteria into a plant.

Fraley genetically engineered the first herbicide-resistant soybean in 1996.

The foundation lists Monsanto and Syngenta Foundation among its annual donors, along with other agribusiness corporations such as DuPont Pioneer, Archer Daniels Midland Co. and Cargill.

The award drew immediate condemnation from opponents of corporate farming.

“We could not ask for a better poster child for what’s wrong with the prize than the recipients of

this year’s World Food Prize,” said Frank Cordaro, who organized an Occupy World Food Prize protest last year. “It’s all part of the very same system of the corporate elite.

The problem is not with the recipients, the problem is with the system that gives the 1 percent all the power and corporate agriculture is built on that system.”

Genetically enhanced crops are grown on more than 420 million acres in nearly 30 countries by over 17 million farmers worldwide, the foundation said. More than 90 percent are small, resource-poor farmers in developing countries.

Many U.S. farmers credited genetic modifications in corn with saving last year’s crop from all but total devastation as half of the nation endured the worst drought in 60 years. Modern corn plants are more stable and can withstand a wider variety of climate conditions because of genetically improved leaves, roots and reproductive capability.

Fraley said biotechnology will

enable the farming industry to meet the needs of a growing global population.

“We know we need from a demand perspective to double food production around the world in the next 30 years,” he said.

Some organic farmers warn that widespread planting of genetically modified crops could contaminate organic and traditional crops, destroying their value.

Others are concerned about the uncharted long-term impact for those who eat products such as milk and beef from animals raised on genetically modified plants.

“GMO crops have led to the loss of food security worldwide and for small farmers, they have led to the development of factory farms and have destroyed biodiversity in food we do produce and consume,” said David Goodner, a community organizer for Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, an environmental and human rights activist group that opposes corporate farming. “The World Food

Prize by selecting these people to honor shows that it cares more about corporate profits than it cares about truly feeding the world with healthy food.”

Van Montagu said the food prize award should raise understanding of the safety of genetically modified crops.

“We just have to explain to society the science fact and that is not the slightest risk has been identified. These crops are as safe, if not safer, than food that comes from traditional agriculture,” he said.

“If somebody denies that we bluntly can say they are misinformed.”

The World Food Prize was created in 1986 by Norman Borlaug, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to fight hunger.

Borlaug was honored in 1970 for work that boosted agricultural production in what has become known as the “Green Revolution.”

Recipients will receive the prize, which includes $250,000, at a ceremony in October at the Iowa Capitol in Des Moines.

Making the best barbecued ribs ELIZABETH KARMEL The Associated Press It has been years since I learned to make competition-worthy barbecued baby back ribs. And I still consider myself lucky to have learned from some of the best in the business.

My first year at the barbecue competition Memphis in May, the head cook from a team called Bubba’s Bunch befriended me and taught me to make ribs the same way barbecue great John Willingham did. Willingham was the creator of the amazing all-purpose barbecue rub known as W’ham Seasoning.

And it is amazing stuff.

Following my rib tutorial, I made those ribs more SHNS PHOTO times than I can count, and have taught them many Blueberries can be used to make a delicious blueberry banana bread. times in my barbecue classes.

As for the actual cooking, true barbecue demands indirect heat. This is what allows the meat to cook slowly, melting the fat and connective tissue. Barbecue also calls for smoke, so be sure to soak wood chips in advance. You can look for two visual clues when making ribs at home: the meat should pull away from the ends of the bones, which should be dry and dark; and the ribs should bend easily without breaking if you gently fold them over.

BUBBA’S BUNCH BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS Start to finish: 3 1/2 hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 8 Wood chips, for smoking For the rub: 2 tablespoons smoked paprika 2 tablespoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons McCormick’s Worcestershire Ground Black Pepper Blend (or other black pepper) 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper For the ribs: 4 racks baby back ribs, at least 2 pounds each 2 lemons, halved 1 cup prepared barbecue sauce (optional) Soak the wood chips in a bowl of water according to package directions.

Meanwhile, to make the rub, in a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your dry rubs to have a finer texture, the ingredients can be combined in a spice grinder and ground until fine. Set aside.

Any extra rub can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months.

Prepare the grill for indirect heat at medium-low. You are aiming to maintain a temperature of 300 F to 325 F. If using a charcoal grill, place the soaked wood chips directly on the hot charcoals. If using a gas grill, place the wood chips in a smoking box and set into the grill according to product directions.

Squeeze and rub 1 lemon half over each rack of ribs.

Sprinkle the ribs liberally with the spice rub, then let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Place the ribs, bone-side down, in the center of the cooking grate, or in a rib holder or rack. Grill, covered, for 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and has pulled back from the ends of the rib bones. Begin checking the ribs after 1 1/2 hours in case your grill is running hot.

Leave the ribs unattended and without opening the grill cover for the first 30 minutes.

If the ribs start to burn at the edges, stack them on top of one another in the very center of the grill and lower the heat slightly. Ten minutes before serving, brush the ribs with barbecue sauce, if using.

Remove the ribs from the grill and place them on a clean platter. Let them rest for 10 minutes before cutting into individual portions.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Grandson can use some support from grandparents Dear Annie: Our oldest son, "Adam," lives two hours away with his wife, "Eve," and their three children. One child, "Hayden," is Eve's from a prior relationship. She married Adam when the boy was 3. The biological father is irresponsible and alcoholic but loves Hayden and sees him when he can.

Hayden is now 13 and a good student, and he works hard to please his parents. We love and cherish him and consider him our own grandson. But we are heartsick that Adam and Eve seem to single him out for unkind treatment. They take him to task constantly for minor infractions.

They fling insults and belittling comments at him. He is scolded for the tone of his voice, his posture, mannerisms and nearly everything he says. His parents sometimes make him stand in a corner. It's humiliating for him.

His siblings are not treated this way.

Hayden is basically a good and decent boy, and his parents seem to resent him. We are worried sick that if this treatment continues, he will rebel, and we won't like the consequences. Hayden deserves better. Is there anything we can do to help without offending my son? We once brought this up, and they resented our intrusion. We hesitate to take that road again. What can we do? — Worried Grandparents Dear Grandparents: Belittling, insulting and humiliating one's child — at any age — is angry, inappropriate parenting.

Since your son and his wife do not want your input, we suggest you offer to take Hayden for weekends or over the summer for a couple of weeks (or more) if you can manage it. He and his parents could use a break from one another. It isn't a substitute for better parenting, but it will help.

You also can suggest to Hayden that he speak to you, his school counselor or favorite teacher whenever he needs to talk.

Dear Annie: We often have two delightful boys over to our house to play with our two sons.

These boys are teenagers. We've known them for years. They are being home-schooled by their very caring mother.

For the first time, the four boys were playing a game that required writing answers and reading them. As I observed them, I could see that the two home- schoolers were having trouble both writing and reading.

I finally asked what the problem was, and they said they had never been taught to write in script. These are smart boys, but I worry this could be a real handicap for them in life. Should I talk with their mother or just let it go? — Feeling Sorry in Vermont Dear Vermont: Fewer and fewer students are learning to read or write in script. With all the keyboards around, penmanship is rarely taught, and script writing has become a lost art.

Will it handicap them? Perhaps if they have to read a note from Grandma, but otherwise, it's unlikely. By the time they are looking for a full-time job, most of their peers will be in the same boat.

Dear Annie: I must take exception to one of your suggestions to "Perplexed," whose father insisted on hearing his voice every day.

I think it is ridiculous to expect adult children to call their parents every day. I am a parent of a wonderful grown son and lovely daughter-in-law. I would never expect them to call me every day.

I would never be intrusive and barge in on them without calling first.

Why do we allow family members to treat each other inconsiderately and without respect when we wouldn't treat others this way? Parents need to respect that their child's spouse and children come first. The kids might want to call or be with their parents more if it is not such a burden. — Fran Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Time for new tires? Check tread with Lincoln’s head Dear Readers: When is the best time to buy new tires? When they are on sale? When your current tires have 10,000 miles on them? When they are 6 years old?

Well, the simple answer is: When the tread is extremely worn.

However, other factors to consider are the age, cracks, bulges or any other physical defects.

The easiest way to determine if you need new tires is by checking the tread depth. Tires are now made with “wear bars” that run across the tire tread.

If you can see them, your tread is at 2/32-inch depth, which most states require as the minimum.

If you can’t see the wear bars, then try this simple and classic hint: Take a penny and insert it

Hints from Heloise Columnist with Lincoln’s head down into the tread. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, the tread is too low, and you need new tires. Also consider the age of the tires. If they are 5 years old or older, you probably need new ones. — Heloise CAMERA HINTS Dear Heloise: Thank you for your column — the hints are

wonderful resources. In reference to the hint about camera pictures, I wanted to share the times I have relied on my camera to help me out.

• In the summer, we drive our RV around the states with our car in tow. My husband sometimes gets frustrated as to the placement of the cables. I took a picture of the tow-bar hookup.

Now he can refer to the picture.

• Communicating with repair salesmen: One summer, we had to replace an RV air conditioner in a town that was not familiar with our make or model. I took in pictures of the air-conditioner information pasted under the vent cover.

• Purchase-power magic: I

have found that when I bring in a picture of what I need, the mood changes. The salesman said this saves him a lot of time and questions.

PILL BOTTLES Dear Heloise: I take a lot of vitamins and several prescriptions.

Unscrewing the tops to all the bottles when I fill my pill reminder got to be a real aggravation.

Now I keep the flip tops that come on some bottles and have accumulated enough that nearly all of my bottles have flip tops.

Sure makes things easier. — Flipping Out in Alabama

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, June 21, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For the next six weeks, your focus is on home, family and domestic events. Expect to deal with childhood memories and issues from the past.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Fasten your seatbelts, because it's a busy month ahead. Short trips, conversations with people, errands plus increased reading and writing will keep you hopping!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your focus is turning to money, earnings, possessions and even your selfimage. Naturally, you need enough money to survive -- hopefully, comfortably.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Sun is in your sign for the next month, attracting people and favorable circumstances to you. This is your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Ole! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You're in the wings, waiting for something. This is the perfect time to think about what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Share your hopes and dreams for the future with others, because their feedback will help you. You might not think this until you hear what they have to say. Be receptive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is the only time all year when the Sun is at high noon in your chart, acting like a spotlight on you. This is why others notice you more than usual, especially VIPs. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Do whatever you can to travel or expand your horizons or enrich your life through further learning and study.

You need to break the bonds that restrict you. You need to fly!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don't run roughshod over details about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. These things need to be settled. In fact, the month ahead is the perfect time to do this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You're going to need more sleep in the next month, because the Sun, your source of energy, is now as far away from you as it gets all year. (Go to bed.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You're fired up with a desire to get better organized. Would that we all could be better organized! Work to do this in the next six weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is the start of a six-week period where you'll enjoy yourself and will frolic with children. The arts, movies, musical performances, sports and romantic rendezvous will please you.

YOU BORN TODAY You're moneywise and success-oriented. You're hungry to experience all that life has to offer. You have a strong desire to succeed, which allows you to overcome obstacles. You set high standards for yourself and others, and many of you are workaholics. Good news! A lovely, social year awaits you, wherein all your relationships will improve. Enjoy!

As fires rage, feds cut prevention funding COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — As the West battles one catastrophic wildfire after another, the federal government is spending less and less on its main program for preventing blazes in the first place.

A combination of government austerity and the ballooning cost of battling the ruinous fires has taken a bite out of federal efforts to remove the dead trees and flammable underbrush that clog Western forests. The U.S. Forest Service says that next year it expects to treat 1 million fewer acres than it did last year.

In real, inflation-adjusted dollars, the government is spending less on the Hazardous Fuels Reduction Program, run jointly by the Forest Service and the Interior Department, than it did in 2002. And President Barack Obama has proposed a 31 percent cut for the fiscal year that begins in the fall.

“Because the fires have gotten bigger and bigger, we’ve spent more of our money on suppression and less on fuel removal,” Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., said in an interview. “We’ve gotten behind the eight-ball on this.”

Federal firefighting officials say there is no question the program prevents some fires and makes others less dangerous to homeowners and firefighters alike.

But they say they are caught in a bind.

“It’s a wicked public policy question,” said Tom Harbour, the Forest Service’s director of fire and aviation management.

“We’ve got to make tradeoffs. We’re living in a time of constrained budgets.”

Wildfires have grown in intensity and cost across the nation because of a combination of high temperatures, drought, an infestation of pine-killing beetles, and the rising number of people living close to nature.

Since the 1990s, 15 million to 17 million new homes have been built in dangerous fire zones, according to a

AP

Ritchie Lewis, Brandy Burton and their son Caiyleb Lewis, 2, help sift through the rubble of their family’s home that was completely destroyed in the Black Forest Fire, Tuesday, in Colorado Springs, Colo. government report.

The Forest Service says it must clear flammable materials from at least 65 million acres to tamp down the danger. The federal government is the primary landlord in the western United States, with responsibility for maintaining much of the open lands that burn during fire season.

Eight of the nine worst fire seasons on record in the U.S., as measured in acres burned, have occurred since 2000, according to the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho.

Last year, 9.3 million acres burned, with 51 separate fires of more than 40,000 acres each. Colorado suffered its most destructive season in history as a blaze on the edge of Colorado Springs destroyed 347 homes. That record stood for less than a year: Last week, a wildfire just outside Colorado Springs devastated at least 502 homes and killed two people.

Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia New

Mexico, Texas and Utah also have seen fires in the past six years that set records for size or destructiveness.

Meanwhile, the Hazardous Fuels Reduction Program has seen funding go from $421 million in 2002 to $500 million last year.

When those numbers are adjusted for inflation, it is actually a slight decrease.

This year’s automatic budget cuts have reduced the funding even further to $419 million. The Obama administration is proposing to slash the total to $292 million next year.

That’s frustrated Western lawmakers, who pushed to include an extra $200 million to clear downed trees and other potential fire fuels in the version of the farm bill that passed the Senate earlier this year. But it’s unclear whether the provision will clear the House.

Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell told the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee earlier this month that putting out fires is consuming an

In this Sept. 8, 2009, file photo, District Ranger Bill Gamble points out a telltale hole indicating pine beetles have attacked a tree in the Umpqua National Forest in Diamond Lake, Ore. increasing share of his agency’s budget.

In 1991, fighting fires accounted for 13 percent of the Forest Service budget; last year it was 40 percent, Tidwell said. The number of staffers dedicated to firefighting has gone up 110 percent since 1998, while the rest of the staff has shrunk by 35 percent, he said. The agency’s overall budget, in inflation-adjusted dollars, is 10 percent lower than in 2001.

At the hearing, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., blamed the Obama administration’s budget office for not believing in the value of fire prevention.

“This waltz has gone on long enough,” Wyden said.

The government has other programs that lower fire danger, including letting ranchers graze their livestock on grassland and routine forest maintenance.

But even those have become victims of the growing cost

of fighting fires.

During last year’s tough fire season, the Forest Service overspent its firefighting budget by $440 million. To close the gap, it borrowed from other accounts, including $40 million in brush clearance funds, according to Forest Service documents.

Congress eventually replenished those funds, but by then it was long after the work should have been completed, said Christopher Topik of the Nature Conservancy. He noted that a 2004 congressional report found that borrowing money disrupted critical fire prevention programs.

Last year, the Forest Service treated or restored 4.4 million acres, according to agency records. Next year that is projected to drop to 3.5 million. The number of acres treated for hazardous fuels is projected to fall from 1.8 million last year to 685,000 next year. Harbour said the agency is focusing on heavily populated areas, which are more expensive to treat.

A study for the Interior Department found it is more cost-effective to try to prevent fires than to just extinguish them once they erupt.

In a 2010 blaze in Arizona, for example, researchers found that the fire cost about $135 million.

They calculated that every dollar spent on basic prevention, such as trimming dead branches and carting out downed trees, could have saved $10 in firefighting costs.

One of the study’s coauthors, Diane Vosick of Northern Arizona University’s Ecological Restoration Institute, likened the removal of old and easily ignitable trees whether by prescribed burns or mechanical harvesting to vaccinating people against a deadly disease.

“We know what to do and the investment up front is much easier than the aftermath, which the poor people of Colorado are dealing with right now,” Vosick said.

Monsoon floods kill 102 in India Rain strands as many as 12,000 Hindu pilgrims LUCKNOW, India (AP) — India’s prime minister said Wednesday that the death toll from flooding this week in the northern state of Uttrakhand had surpassed 100 and could rise substantially.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh spoke on his return from an aerial survey of the area, pegging the death toll at 102.

“It is feared that the loss of life could be much higher,” he said.

Uttrakhand’s top elected official, State Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna later told the New Delhi Television news channel that hundreds of people have lost their lives but that the exact number would be known only after a survey of the area.

A joint army and air force operation evacuated nearly 12,000 Hindu pilgrims stranded in a mountainous area by torrential monsoon rains and landslides, but nearly 63,000 people remained cut off, a senior official said Wednesday.

Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde earlier said the flooding in Uttrakhand washed away roads and nearly two dozen bridges and demolished 365 houses and partially damaged

275 others.

A three-story apartment building toppled into a river on Sunday and was carried away by the flood waters, said Amit Chandola, a Uttrakhand government spokesman, adding that a helicopter on its landing pad also was swept away.

The government also said 40 small hotels on the

banks of the Mandakini river in the Gaurikund area were destroyed by the swift-moving current.

Describing the situation as grim, Bahuguna said his administration was not equipped to tackle such a massive disaster, and asked for federal assistance. The region is 400 kilometers (250 miles) southwest of Lucknow, the

nearly 2,000 people have been evacuated to government-run camps on higher ground. Authorities there said the situation would ease as the level of the Yamuna River was expected to start receding Thursday afternoon.

Flooding is an annual occurrence in India, which depends on monsoon rains to sustain agriculture.

capital of Uttar Pradesh state.

An additional 17 people have died since Sunday when their homes collapsed in Uttar Pradesh state, which borders Uttrakhand, said R.L. Vishwakarma, a state police officer.

The flooding has affected several states and the capital, New Delhi, where

But the heavy downpours also cause the loss of lives and property.

Most of those stranded in Uttrakhand are Hindu pilgrims to four revered shrines in the region.

Bahuguna said the Kedarnath temple - one of the holiest Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, located atop the Garhwal Himalayan range - had escaped major damage, but up to 10 feet (four meters) of debris covered the area around it.

“We are fully engaged in rescuing people who have been stranded in the higher reaches,” Bahuguna told reporters earlier. Nearly 600 people were evacuated by air force helicopters and the rest by the army using land routes.

With the sky over Uttrakhand clearing up Wednesday, the helicopter operation concentrated on the worst-hit Kedarnath temple area, which received 380 millimeters (14 inches) of rain in the past week, nearly five times the average for that time period,, said R.P.N. Singh, junior home minister.

Air force spokeswoman Priya Joshi said 22 helicopters have dropped food packets and other relief supplies in addition to ferrying stranded tourists.

More than 5,000 soldiers helped bring thousands of homeless people to relief camps and provided them with food and medical supplies.

TROY

The Troy Skating Club and Hobart Arena are playing host to a major figure skating event this weekend, the U.S. Figure Skating National Theater on Ice Competition.

The event begins today and will continue through Saturday.

Now in its sixth year, the event will see 48 teams and nearly 900 skaters take part — the largest participation in its history. It is also the first time the event has come back to Troy since 2010, when 34 teams and roughly 650 skaters competed.

The Troy Skating Club and Dayton Figure Skating Club have re-established the Miami Valley Theatre on Ice team, consisting of 12 skaters from the Troy and Dayton areas. The team will compete in the open division.

“The Troy Skating Club would (also) like to acknowledge a grant from the general fund of the Troy Foundation,” the Troy Skating Club said in a press release. “We appreciate the Troy Foundation’s support of our efforts in bringing these events to the Miami Valley.”

Competitors will vie for titles at

preliminary, novice, junior, senior, open and adult levels. Medals will be awarded based on music and sound, choreography and skating movements, performance and rapport between teammates, costuming, props and scenery.

A popular form of competition in Europe, where it is referred to as Ballet on Ice, Theater on Ice combines figure skating with theater and dance. Teams are comprised of eight to 30 skaters, and while individual skating is permitted in limited amounts if it enhances the overall telling of the program’s story, it is discouraged.

Programs are judged by U.S.

■ Legion Baseball

One more overtime Bruins, ’Hawks tied 5-5 after 3 BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins came from behind to tie the Chicago Blackhawks for the third time and sent Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals into overtime with the teams even 5-5 on Wednesday night.

Trailing 4-3 after the second period, the Bruins tied it on Patrice Bergeron’s second goal of the game at 2:05 of the third period.

Patrick Sharp gave Chicago a 5-4 lead at 11:19 with the Blackhawks’ first power-play goal in 30 chances, but Boston came right back to tie it 55 seconds later on Johnny Boychuk’s hard 40-foot shot.

All five Bruins goals were to the glove side of goalie Corey Crawford.

Spurs using toughness to get over loss MIAMI (AP) — Through heartbreaking losses and hair-raising victories, through Game 7s of the NBA Finals and Game 46s of the regular season, through contract extension after contract extension, what has defined these San Antonio Spurs more than anything else is the simple fact that they stick together.

Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich have been the heart, the soul, the backbone and the brains of

this operation for more than a decade. Through an unprecedented era of change and volatility, these Spurs have stayed in San Antonio, stayed together.

Coming off the most gutwrenching defeat they have ever suffered, that unity, that togetherness, that unparalleled bond is more important now than it ever has been.

A group that thought it had seen everything the NBA could throw at it was shaken to the core when it experienced something

totally new when the Spurs gave away a five-point lead with 21 seconds to play in Game 6 against the Miami Heat and missed the chance to secure the franchise’s fifth championship.

“We’ve never been through a situation like this,” Ginobili said on Wednesday. “In 10-plus years we’ve been through basically everything. But I was trying to think. Not like this. So hopefully we are up to the challenge. We know that we can play better, and we have to.”

Game 7 is tonight in Miami, only because the end of Game 6 went so horribly wrong for San Antonio.

The Spurs were up 13 points early in the fourth quarter and led 94-89 with 21 seconds to go. This team that had closed out so many of these games over the years with its cold-blooded precision was ready for perhaps its crowning achievement dethroning LeBron James and the defending champion Heat on their home floor, no less.

Serena sorry after ‘insensitive’ remarks

Defining a champion

ordered to serve an additional year for photographing the girl naked. The case gained widespread attention in part because of the callousness with which other students used social media to gossip about it.

“What happened in Steubenville was a real shock for me. I was deeply saddened,” Williams said in the statement. “For someone to be raped, and at only sixteen, is such a horrible tragedy! For both families involved that of the rape victim and of the accused.”

According to the Rolling Stone story, Williams says the perpetrators of the crime “did something stupid,” and she asks: “Do you think it was fair, what they got?”

She adds, “I’m not blaming the girl, but if you’re a 16-year-old and you’re drunk like that, your parents should teach you: Don’t take drinks from other people.”

Williams also is quoted as saying: “… she shouldn’t have put herself in that position, unless they slipped her something, then that’s different.”

Williams is in England preparing for Wimbledon.

More than just a title at stake in Game 7

By The Associated Press Serena Williams says she’s reaching out to the family of the victim in the Steubenville rape case after the tennis star was quoted in a Rolling Stone article saying “she shouldn’t have put herself in that position.”

“I am currently reaching out to the girl’s family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written in the Rolling Stone article,” Williams said in a statement released through her agent Wednesday. “What was written — what I supposedly said — is insensitive and hurtful, and I by no means would say or insinuate that she was at all to blame.”

The comment was made in one paragraph of a lengthy story posted online Tuesday about Williams, a 16-time Grand Slam title winner who is ranked No. 1 heading into Wimbledon, which starts next week.

Two players from the Steubenville, Ohio, high school football team were convicted in March of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl; one of the boys was

Injury to keep Woods out of action

By The Associated Press In little more than a month, Tiger Woods went from being tough to beat to having a tough time even playing.

Woods said Wednesday that soreness in his left elbow would keep him from defending his title next week in the AT&T National at Congressional, and that he would not compete again until the British Open next month at Muirfield.

This is the sixth straight year that injury has kept him from either playing a tournament or finishing one.

The culprit this time is a strain in his left elbow. The problem first became apparent during the opening round of the U.S. Open last week at Merion, when he was flexing his left wrist or dangling his arm behind his back after shots out of the thick, punishing rough.

“I was examined after I returned home from the U.S. Open, and the doctors determined I have a left elbow strain,” Woods said

on his website. “I have been advised to take a few weeks off, rest and undergo treatment. I’ll be ready to go for the British Open, and I’m looking forward to playing at Muirfield.”

His injury is a blow to the AT&T National, which benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation. This will be the third time since it began in 2007 that Woods has missed the tournament because of injury knee surgery in 2008, his left Achilles tendon in 2011 and an elbow injury this year.

“Any time you have Tiger in the field, it certainly adds to it a lot,” tournament director Greg McLaughlin said. “But we have a very nice field this year and we look forward to a great AT&T National.”

Masters champion Adam Scott and U.S. Open champion Justin Rose are among those scheduled to play.

McLaughlin said Woods is to be at Congressional at least on Wednesday to take part in the opening ceremonies.

MIAMI (AP) — Game 7s do more than settle championships.

They define legacies.

No matter what happens Thursday night, LeBron James and the Miami Heat, and Tim Duncan’s San Antonio Spurs have already won NBA titles and secured a place in history.

Now is their opportunity to elevate it.

The truly memorable teams won the hard way, and that will be the case for the one celebrating at center court this time. It’s either a Heat repeat, possible only after James led them back from what seemed certain elimination in the closing seconds of Game 6, or the Spurs shaking off as gut-wrenching a loss as a team can have to become just the fourth club to win a Game 7 of the NBA Finals on the road.

“As a competitor you love it, because you know you have an opportunity and it’s up to you,” Heat guard Ray Allen said. “We have a chance in our building to make something great. All of our legacies are tied to this moment, this game. It’s something our kids will be able to talk about that they were a part of. Forever will remember these moments, so we want to not live and have any regrets.”

Allen played in the game the last time the NBA’s season went down to the very last day, the Boston Celtics fading at the finish and falling 83-79 to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2010. That made home teams 14-3 in finals Game 7s, with no road team winning since Washington beat Seattle in 1978.

Overcoming those odds, not to mention the NBA’s winningest team, would make this more memorable than the Spurs’ previous four titles, though this is a franchise that never dwells too much on the past or looks too far into the future.

All that matters is now.

“You know what, it’s all about just winning the title. It’s not about situation or what has led up to it,” Duncan said. “It’s a great story for everybody else, but we’re here for one reason, one reason only: It’s to try to win this game (Thursday). We have had a very good season thus far, and I think we just want to

Miami Heat’s Ray Allen (34) aims a 3-point shot as San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker (9) defends during Game 6 of the NBA Finals Wednesday in Miami. Allen’s shot sent the game into overtime. The Heat defeated the Sours 103-100. get to the game more than anything. We just want to see what happens and be able to leave everything out there.”

The teams trudged back to the arena Wednesday, some 12 hours after the Heat pulled out a 103-100 overtime victory in Game 6 to even the series. The Spurs, five points ahead with 28 seconds left in regulation, had to fight off fatigue and heartbreak, insisting neither would linger into today.

By far the best game of this series, Game 6 immediately took its place among the best finishes in finals history, with everything from James’ tripledouble to Allen’s tying 3-

pointer with 5.2 seconds left in regulation.

It had close calls, debatable decisions, and the NBA’s best player at his very best when his team needed him most.

Games 2-5 in the series had been ugly, but that one was a beauty.

“I think I know that game will go down as one of the best finals games that’s been seen,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said.

“But I think this series will go down as being one of the most competitive, bizarre series that’s been seen. So this is what you pay for to watch. You pay to watch two great teams battle to the very, very end, and that’s what we’ll do

(Thursday). It will be to the very last second.”

The Heat could become the NBA’s first repeat champions since the Lakers in 2010. James and Chris Bosh moved to Miami to join Wade a few weeks later and they are in the finals for the third time in three chances.

But playing for titles is more expected than celebrated now in Miami, and a 66-win season that included a 27-game winning streak and perhaps the whole Big Three era goes down as a failure if the Heat fall Thursday. Yet James said he doesn’t need the victory to validate his decision to take his talents to South Beach.

Body found near Pats’ Hernandez’s home a murder victim BOSTON (AP) — A man found dead in an industrial park about a mile from New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez’s home had been killed, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

The state medical examiner identified the man as 27-year-old Odin Lloyd and ruled he was a homicide victim, Bristol District Attorney Samuel Sutter’s office said. Lloyd’s family said he was a semi-pro football player with a connection to Hernandez, whose home was searched by police.

Lloyd’s mother, Ursula Ward, had said earlier police had told her the body

was that of her son, who played for the Boston Bandits.

“My son is a wonderful child,” she said, crying as she spoke outside the family’s home in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood.

“He’s a family guy. He hasn’t done anything to hurt anyone.”

Ward would not say how Lloyd knew Hernandez and did not say if police told her how her son died. An uncle said Lloyd had a connection to Hernandez but wouldn’t elaborate.

State police returned for the second day Wednesday to Hernandez’s sprawling home in an upscale subdivision in North Attleborough,

on the Rhode Island state line not far from the Patriots’ stadium in Foxborough. They referred questions about their investigation to Sutter, the district attorney.

Sutter’s office said investigators were asking for the public’s help to find a silver mirror cover believed to have broken off a car between Boston and North Attleborough.

Hernandez attorney Michael Fee acknowledged media reports about the state police search of Hernandez’s home as part of an investigation but said he and the player wouldn’t have any comment on it.

Sports Illustrated, citing

an unidentified source, reported Tuesday that Hernandez was not believed to be a suspect in what was being treated then as a possible homicide.

Two troopers knocked on the door of Hernandez’s house Wednesday morning, but no one answered. The night before, police spent hours there as another group of officers searched the industrial park.

Later Wednesday, at least seven state troopers searched both sides of a road just off the street where Hernandez lives. The officers used thin poles to pull back plants and search through undergrowth along the road.

Hernandez returned home during the early afternoon Wednesday. He did not speak to a crowd of reporters staked out about 100 feet away.

The Patriots drafted Hernandez out of Florida in 2010. Since then, he has combined with Rob Gronkowski to form one of the top tight end duos in the NFL. He missed 10 games last season with an ankle injury and had shoulder surgery in April but is expected to be ready for training camp. Last summer, the Patriots gave him a five-year contract worth $40 million.

Patriots spokesman Stacey James said the team

did not anticipate commenting publicly during the police investigation.

Sports Illustrated reported that the link between Hernandez and the case was a rented Chevrolet Suburban with Rhode Island plates that police had been searching for. The Associated Press could not independently confirm the report.

Lloyd’s neighbor Larry Connors said a black Suburban with Rhode Island license plates was towed out of the yard of Lloyd’s house after his body was found. Lloyd had been driving it for a few days, but Connors had never seen it before that.

Brantley homers twice in win

CIVITAS MEDIA PHOTO/MIKE ULLERY

Troy Post 43’s Nick Sanders tracks down a pop fly Wednesday against Piqua Post 184.

Post 43 ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Cascaden was 2 for 4 in the game as Troy piled up 12 hits. Sanders also drew a key walk in the top of the ninth that led to the crucial final run. Joe Martinez ran for Sanders and stole second base with two outs, and Nick Antonides drove him in to make it a tworun game.

Ryan Lavy took a shutout into the seventh inning to open Tuesday night against the Dayton Dodgers, striking out six and giving up three hits in a 5-1 victory. And in the night cap, Trenton Wood and Cascaden combined on a two-hit shutout in a 9-0 Troy victory.

Offensively, Bowling had three hits, a double and an RBI and Garrett Mitchell added a two-run double to lead the way.

Michael Pierce also had an RBI double in the game.

That Dodger lineup fared no better in the second game. Wood went the first four innings and struck out four, while Cascaden pitched the final three and punched out three hitters.

Colton Nealeigh backed them up by going 2 for 4 with two RBIs and Sanders was 2 for 3 with a double.

Troy (15-7) hosts Springfield Armaloy tonight.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Justin Masterson managed to hang around for 6 1-3 innings and win for the sixth time at home, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.

Masterson (9-5) sidestepped some early trouble without giving up any runs and improved to 6-1 with a 2.29 ERA in nine starts at Progressive Field. The right-hander struck out eight while allowing two runs and nine hits.

Michael Brantley hit a pair of solo homers for the up-and-down Indians, who moved within 3 games of first-place Detroit in the AL Central.

Mike Aviles drove in two runs and Michael Bourn scored twice for Cleveland.

Unable to get a hit for four innings off Luis Mendoza (2-4), Brantley homered in the fifth and the Indians added three runs in the sixth.

Brantley connected again in the eighth.

Despite the loss, the Royals have won 11 of 15.

Masterson, as close to an ace as the Indians have in their rotation, is 5-0 in his last six starts at home and has won nine of his past 13 decisions in Cleveland.

It wasn’t a certainty he

Kansas City stranded eight runners in the first five innings and Masterson got a big defensive play by first baseman Mark Reynolds to get out of a pickle in the fourth.

Masterson was lifted in the seventh, and although he was far from dominant, Indians fans gave him a warm ovation as he headed to the dugout.

The Indians, who have struggled to score lately, didn’t get their first hit off

Mendoza until the fifth and then chased the righthander during their three-run sixth.

With two on and none out, Aviles hit a ball to deep left that probably should have been caught

by Alex Gordon, but the two-time Gold Glove winner dropped it, allowing Drew Stubbs to score and tie it at 2.

Jason Kipnis followed with a well-timed bunt single to load the bases and Mendoza threw four straight balls to Carlos Santana, forcing in Bourn with the go-ahead run.

Tim Collins then came in and allowed Brantley’s sacrifice fly that made it 4-2, but after giving up a single, he kept the Royals within two by striking out pinch hitter Ryan Raburn and getting Lonnie Chisenhall on a groundout.

However, the Indians tacked on an insurance run in the seventh when Bourn doubled, stole third and scored on Aviles’ fly ball to right.

Cleveland also got solid relief work from Bryan Shaw, who pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings.

Oregon State advances

&

Indiana ousted from College World Series OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Matt Boyd pitched a fourhitter and struck out 11 and Oregon State made a fourth-inning sacrifice fly stand for a 1-0 victory over Indiana in the College World Series on Wednesday night.

The Beavers (52-12) won the first 1-0 game at the CWS since 1985. They now face Mississippi State

on Friday needing to beat the Bulldogs twice to reach next week’s finals.

The Hoosiers (49-16) went 1-2 in their first CWS appearance.

Indiana’s Aaron Slegers allowed seven hits in his first career complete game.

Boyd, who pitched his fourth complete game and third shutout this season,

faced the minimum through four innings. He held the Hoosiers hitless until Michael Basil looped a ball into short right field in the fifth.

The Beavers scored in the fourth when Kavin Keyes singled, went to third on Ryan Barnes’ double and came home on Jake Rodriguez’s sacrifice fly to right.
