Covington man dies in I-70 crash
Check out this week’s iN75
Staff Reports
HARRISON TWP.
Troopers from the Dayton post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol are investigating a fatal crash on Interstate 70 Monday night that claimed the life of a Covington man. Geary E. Fraley, 56, of Covington, was killed in the accident, which occurred at 7:39 p.m.
Monday westbound on I-70 at Lewisburg, Preble County, according to an OSP news release. All vehicles were driving in the right lane, the release said. Fraley was driving a 2001 black Ford Windstar when the accident occurred.
Others involved in the accident, but who survived, include Yvonne Smith, 52, of Oklahoma, operating a 2010 Freightliner Columbia; Calvin Dietz, 62, of Shelby, operating a 2007 International conventional truck; and Michael Settle, 57, of Coldwater, Miss., operating a 2001 Freightliner Columbia. The news release said a prior injury crash had traffic slowed in
the area. Both westbound and eastbound lanes of I-70 were shut down following the incident. No more information was available, and the crash remains under investigation, a dispatcher said. Mr. Fraley, along with his wife, Ada, purchased the Stocker Fraley funeral homes in Covington and Bradford in 1997.

Council backs tax provisions
Piqua man sentenced in stabbing A Piqua man who stabbed another man at a bar with a pocketknife in Piqua in February will spend the next two years in prison, a judge ordered Monday. Steven E. Barnes, 32, was sentenced for a conviction of felonious assault and will serve an additional three years on postrelease control. Barnes’ public defender asked the court to consider Barnes for probation, but the judge disagreed. “I feel really bad for what happened,” Barnes told Judge Robert Lindeman.“I never want to go through something like that again.” See Page 4.
Busse hits the ground running Although he doesn’t officially start the job until July 9, new village administrator Mike Busse has already hit the ground running as evidenced by his presentations on a variety of issues at the Covington Village Council meeting Monday night. Busse, whose last day on the job as village administrator in Russia was Friday, was hired by council last month as Covington’s first village administrator. Mayor Ed McCord expressed council’s appreciation to Busse for addressing issues facing Covington while still balancing his former position with Russia. See Page 4.

Big business Storm cleanup keeps area businesses busy BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Storms brewed big business for local service companies after last weekend’s storm hit Miami County. Wes Rich, said more than 270 of his employees were canvassing the Miami Valley area from Centerville up north to Miami County MIAMI looking for COUNTY storm damage to residential roofs. “We’ve being doing tons of business up here,” Rich said. Rich said storms with wind gusts up to 80 miles per hour have flooded Rich Roofing’s phone lines with emergency requests. “We’ve been busy all weekend and our guys have been out helping people temporarily repair their damage to their homes,” Rich said. “You need to get the roof sealed before water get through and really causes major damage.” Rich also said reputable businesses such as Rich Roofing will handle home owner insurance claims and negotiate on behalf of the residential owner as a client. “We will handle everything, including the insurance claims and work for the home owner as a client more so than that of a subcontractor,” Rich said. Rich also warns local residents to be cautious of out of town contractors that flock to storm damage areas.

Two pieces of legislation were passed at Monday’s council meeting, one regarding uniform income tax provisions and another pertaining to a tax levy for funding public health services. The uniform income tax legislation is one step in enacting uniform tax codes in the state, which is projected to save municipalities and businesses money, lessen confusion among taxpayers and be revenue neutral across all parties. Troy and other municipalities have been working with the Greater Dayton Mayors and Managers Association to enact provisions of their individual tax legislation upon revision of the Ohio Revised Code. Council also agreed to place a tax levy on the ballot in

Cleanup • CONTINUED FROM 1 sidewalks. Plans for park cleanup were set back to Tuesday, with Community Park being the first on the list. “We got the playgrounds first and then the tennis courts,” he said. “It’s in a lot better shape than it would have been, so we’re happy about that.” As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, 484 DP&L customers in Miami County were still without power, according to the DP&L website. In Troy, the majority of outages were on the east side. According to a report Tuesday afternoon, DP&L projected to restore power that night to 98 percent of the 175,000 people affected by Friday’s storms, with smaller pockets of outages restored Thursday. “Very small outages (less than 10 customers or single outages) will be restored by Thursday night, ahead of our promised schedule,” she said. “This is assuming no more significant weather events.” The utilities company is working 24 hours a day to restore power and is teaming with mutual assignment crews from nine states to assist customers in the 24-county service area. With city employees off for the holiday Wednesday, cleanup on Community Park will continue Thursday and other
parks will follow. “I would like to stress that everyone be patient with the cleanup process. It will probably take about two to three weeks, and we have people staying a couple extra hours a day,” he said. “We might get a storm of that magnitude maybe not even once a year, and we got two in a couple days.” Miami County Sheriff ’s Deputy Todd Tennant said dispatchers received almost 50 calls Friday and 30 calls Sunday related to street obstructions and wires down after the storms. “It’s been a disaster. These two storms created a lot of havoc,” Tennant said. He reminded residents that a traffic signal becomes like a stop sign during a power outage. “When a traffic signal goes out, there are still white stop bars (on the street), which are where you stop,” Tennant explained. “By law, it becomes a four-way stop. You could be cited for just going through.” At Monday night’s council meeting, council president Marty Baker, Mayor Mike Beamish and Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington commended the city for its cleanup efforts. “Crews are working fast and furious to get things cleaned up as quickly as we can,” Titterington said.

March 5, according to his indictment. In court Johnson became emotional as he struggled to speak with the judge. “I want to apologize to my family, my parents and my community,” he said. “This has been a very humbling and sobering experience.” He later told the judge: “I wish I had gotten the help I needed a long time ago. … I am deeply sorry for standing before you today.” Johnson faced up to 36 months in prison.

said, saying jobs are booked through July and possibly through the first of August with bids and estimates throughout the month. Massie also said most of the damage he’s worked on could have been prevented, noting that many homeowners are forgoing tree services due to the economy. “I’ve had one customer say that their tree work is their summer vacation. It’s a sad thing and a no-win situation for some,” Massie said. Massie also said business hasn’t been this busy since ice storms and almost as busy as the aftermath of Hurricane Ike in 2008. “The damage this time is wide-spread,” Massie said. “You don’t see as many crews coming from West Virgina, Indiana flocking here to do business because everybody got hit with these storms.” Massie said his business, family owned and operated for 20 years, has responded to more than 20 service calls mainly in the Miami County area. Massie said he prefers to stay and help those in Miami County where he lives to “take care of our own, first.” “They take care of me when we don’t have storms,” Massie said. “We go everywhere from up to Bellefontaine and down south, but we are staying here to help our people out.”

Roofing which has been family owned and operated since 1969. Rich said many out-of-town contractors will make repairs quickly and leave the homeowner with shoddy work to be uncovered by the next wave of storms. “Be leery of those from out-of-town, because they show up, do crummy work and then they leave — so choose local,” Rich said. Sunset Valley Tree Service owner Mike Massie also urges Miami County residents to seek local tree service businesses during storm clean-up. “If you choose local, they know that you are in the area and you’ll always come back,” Massie said. Massie also said beware of individuals that have little experience and a chainsaw. “Just because they own a chainsaw, doesn’t mean they know what they are doing and could cause more damage to the house and they just don’t have the insurance. You could possibly get injured doing work that should be left to professionals.” Massie said the first priority of work is emergencies, such as trees on rooftops or in dangerous areas. “We take care of emergencies first,” Massie said. “Most people want the mess cleaned up immediately, but we need to get the trees off the structures to prevent accidents and more damage.” Massie said trees and limbs are cleared from the home and his crews will return to clean up the less threatening work. “We are extremely busy — more swamped than we’ve ever been,” Massie

PIQUA topic for quite some time was broached at the end of an otherwise uneventful night of discussion that began with the first reading of a single ordinance in regards to redistricting the wards to establish an equal distribution of the population based on the 2010 U.S. Census. Near the end of the meeting, it was the water plant issue that ignited further discussion as City Manager Gary Huff reminded commission during his city manager’s report that a decision had to be made this month. A decision would
either bring the city of Piqua into a joint venture with the city of Troy in terms of water treatment, or building a new surface water treatment plant. Commissioners Bill Vogt, John Martin, Joe Wilson and Judy Terry spoke in favor of a new plant, along with Mayor Lucy Fess. They voiced concerns of too many unknowns such as contaminated well fields to the insignificant price difference between joint venture and building the city’s own plant being oft-spoken reasoning. In a unanimous vote, the city of Piqua will move forward with building a new water treatment plant.

Busse hits ground running as village administrator BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com Although he doesn’t officially start the job until July 9, new village administrator Mike Busse has already hit the ground running as evidenced by his presentations on a variety of issues at the Covington Village Council meeting Monday night. Busse, whose last day on the job as village administrator in Russia was Friday, was hired by council last month as Covington’s first village administrator. Mayor Ed McCord expressed council’s appreciation to Busse for addressing issues facing Covington while still balancing his former position with Russia. Busse presented infor- BUSSE mation to council members on grant applications, computer software issues upcoming sanitary sewer smoke testing and plans to repair damage to village property caused by a hail storm last year. In reference to grants, Busse reported funding for the first
phase of the Spring Street reconstruction project has not been decided. After hearing Busse’s report on plans to seek grant funds for the planned replacement of water lines in the village at cost of $400,000, council agreed to submit an application with the Ohio Public Works Commission for a grant to finance 80 percent of the cost. Although a decision on the water line replacement grant wouldn’t be made for three years, Busse said the application has to be filed this month. He also noted that it is hoped that a study of the village wastewater treatment plant, to be financed with a $15,000 grant, can begin in January. Busse said the village plans to seek funding through the Miami County Health Department for the demolition or repair of several buildings. The issue of the council’s decision to contract with CMI of Englewood for a utility billing sys-
COVINGTON tem instead of the current provider Ohio Software arose again at Monday night’s meeting. At its June 18 meeting, council voted to include in the minutes a letter from Jim Schmitt of Ohio Software criticizing council for not allowing him to make a presentation on the utility billing software contract. Acting on the motion of Councilman Marc Basye, who voted against putting Schmitt’s letter in the minutes, council voted 5-1 to delete the letter from the June 18 meeting minutes. Lois Newman, who moved a motion at the June 18 meeting to put the letter in the minutes, cast the lone vote against removing it from the meeting minutes. Two community residents also spoke out at at the June 18 meeting against awarding the contract to CMI instead of Ohio Software, which has provided software to the village for more than 20 years. Basye contended the letter that appeared in the Stillwater Advertiser was actually a paid advertisement, not a letter to the

editor. “I am angry because the meeting on July 18, 2012, was a total waste of my time,” Basye said, reading from a prepared statement. “It was a waste of the mayor’s time and every council person who attended… I am angry that I had just wasted my time sitting through a meeting over business that has been already decided on, voted on and passed, with a majority vote,” Basye said. “I will no longer sit through meetings discussing old, settled business,” he said. “I am looking forward with enthusiasm to the future of this village.” In a related matter, Ohio Software has ended its relationship with the village providing other software, so Busse is seeking proposals from other companies to provide the services formerly handled by Ohio Software, including payroll. Chris Haines, chairman of the Covington Summer Bash, said everything is on schedule for this weekend’s festival. The Summer Bash will be held from 4 p.m. to midnight Friday and from 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday in down-
town Covington. Live bands will perform each night with the major attraction being a performance by the Beatles tribute band The Return at 8 p.m. Saturday. The Summer Bash Parade will step off at 10:30 a.m. from South High Street at Mote Drive and head north before turning east onto Broadway to Debra Street. Village Council members agreed Monday night to participate in the parade. The Summer Bash, which is being coordinated by the Covington Development Council and the festival committee, also will include a wide variety of foods being offered by local nonprofit groups, amusement rides, a Covington Outreach Association 5K run/walk (set for 8 a.m. Saturday) and fireworks set for 10 p.m. Saturday. Haines said the festival has received a great deal of community support. McCord praised village employees for their work following the storms that hit Friday and Sunday. “It was really a monumental task to get the village back in shape,” McCord said. “It was a real team effort.”

Group wants redistricting question on Ohio ballots COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio coalition of voter groups said Tuesday that it has the signatures needed to get a question on the November ballot that aims to take away elected officials’ power to draw legislative and congressional districts. The state alters legislative and U.S. House district boundaries every 10 years to reflect population shifts. New maps were put in place for this year’s elections. The Voters First coalition is handing in more than 430,000 signatures to state officials on Tuesday to get its constitutional amendment before voters. The secretary of state’s office will check that the group has the more than 385,000 valid signatures required to qualify for the Nov. 6 ballot. The measure would put district mapmaking in the hands of a 12-person commission of four Democrats, four Republicans and four independents who are intended to reflect Ohio’s geographic, racial, ethnic and political diversity. Lobbyists, major political donors and elected officials couldn’t apply. Catherine Turcer, who chairs Voters First, said at a news conference Tuesday that citizens, not politicians, should have control over how the boundaries are drawn. “For too long the foxes have been in the henhouse,” Turcer said. “It’s just wrong. They’ve been manipulating our votes.” The Ohio Legislature currently approves U.S. House lines, while the fivemember apportionment board is responsible for adopting new state legislative districts. Apportionment board members include the governor, secretary of state, auditor,

and Republican and Democratic legislative leaders. Last year’s mapmaking wasn’t without conflict. Democrats, who hold minorities in both state legislative chambers and on the apportionment board, filed a lawsuit over the state legislative boundaries in January on behalf of three dozen voters, arguing the district lines were gerrymandered to favor the GOP. And the U.S. House lines were in limbo last year until legislators had to compromise to avoid holding two primaries. A spokesman for Ohio House Speaker Bill Batchelder has called the ballot amendment “inherently undemocratic,” saying it allows unelected individuals who are not accountable to the electorate to draw the lines. Spokesman Mike Dittoe has said Batchelder, a Republican, believes ironing out the state’s map-drawing process should be handled by a task force that is currently meeting. Ann Henkener, a redistricting specialist with the League of Women Voters of Ohio, said lawmakers have had their chance to find a bipartisan solution. Her organization is among those involved with the Voters First coalition, which also includes the Ohio chapter of Common Cause and others. In May, the well-funded, labor-backed We Are Ohio campaign which led the successful 2011 ballot repeal of collective bargaining restrictions for public workers also threw its weight behind the amendment effort. Organizers with Voters First said the bulk of the signatures were collected by volunteers, though paid circulators also helped.

ANALYSIS
Plan to end Syria crisis falls flat WASHINGTON (AP) — The much-hyped plan to end Syria’s misery and guide its transition to democracy appears to have fallen flat despite the endorsement of Western powers. Russia’s objections gutted the most stringent conditions on a potential interim leader in Damascus. The Syrian opposition quickly dismissed the proposal as a waste of time and with “no value on the ground.” The U.S. and its allies insist the plan will force Syrian President Bashar Assad from power. Russia disagrees and Assad is unlikely to acquiesce. It all leaves U.N. envoy Kofi Annan’s efforts to end As I 15 months of bloodshed no better off than before.

Annan said he could not imagine that the Syrian people would choose anyone with blood on their hands to lead them. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, going further, said the plan requires Assad to leave because there is no chance he can meet the “mutual consent” standard. “What we have done here is to strip away the fiction that he and those with blood on their hands can stay in power,” she said. Yet as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov pointed out, the plan excludes no one. Nor does it give anyone without a vested interest any authority to suggest who might or might not be acceptable. That’s why Assad’s foes are skeptical, at the very least. Western officials say they expect Russia and China, which have blocked U.N. action on Syria, to make the case to Assad that he needs to step down for the good of his country. They hope, as Clinton said Saturday, that Assad will “see the writing on the wall” and remove himself from the equation. So far, though, neither has shown any inclination to back away from defending Assad.

Don’t add a timeline to the journey of your life So often during this time of year there are well wishes and good luck sentiments for those graduating high school. I feel as though sometimes, we forget that there are also graduates at a higher level who have worked their tails off, as well to receive their bachelors or masters degrees. Some may disagree with me, but I think graduating from college is just as big of a deal if not more so. You have to go out on your own for the first time, and you learn many new responsibilities along with going to school, studying and taking exams. While I want to wish congratulations to recent college graduates, I also would like to offer a few tips to help your sanity the first few years out. Remember, it’s not the end of the world to move back home. I will admit that when I was a senior, I tried my hardest to stay in Knoxville. But after listening to the wisdom of my parents, I decided that it was in my best interest to move my poor tush back home and save up some money while applying for jobs. It all worked out for the good as most things do when you listen to Mom and Pops. Second, remember
Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist the one key term of applying for jobs that will always frustrate you — “experience.” You are a college graduate; all you have is your experience from college; eventually you will find somewhere that will take a chance on you like The Evening Leader did on me and you will slowly build up that “experience” that is so desired among the business world. Most importantly, however, remember how old you are. I know I know, you are a college graduate, a bigwig. You survived all the trials and tribulations of being out on your own and getting through “the real world” on your own. However, point being, you are just that, a college graduate, most of the time, at the age of 21 or 22. You are not old, you are not a grown-up yet and your life does not have to be completely in order.
There is so much pressure on all of us to have our lives together, to know exactly what we want to do and where we should go. While the four years of school helps get you in the right direction, don’t feel like you need to have it all together by a specific age. So many times, and even I am guilty of it, students and graduates at that age let society get to you. You feel like you need to have a big person job, a house, a dog and a white picket fence. Well I hate to break it to you, but things have changed. If you have all of that and a family by the time you have a job and have graduated great, congratulations on that too, but it doesn’t NEED to happen. I know there are also some people who put timelines on life. I am sorry, but there are no such things. No, you don’t have to move out by the time you are 24, no you don’t have to be married by the time you are 26 and no, you don’t have to have a child at any specific time either. If you don’t have the money to buy a house, don’t. At some point, those of us in our twenties have forgotten about a key word called happiness and what it really means to be happy. And we have focused more on our “standing
in society” and keeping up with the Joneses. There needs to come a time when your happiness comes first, rather than listening to the latest tips to finding happiness published in Cosmopolitan. Here are some of my own tips to happiness. Don’t get me wrong, I have my days of uncertainty and wishing “I could get my life together,” but I’m 25. I pay my bills as I go, I go to work everyday, I have friends and a family that love me. I have a best friend that I couldn’t live without, an awesome relationship that I never believed I would have and it will all work for the good and develop as it is suppose to. So here we go; figure out what makes you happy and do it. I know, most people would argue and say money can buy happiness, and in some aspect, yes it does, but not true happiness. Two, take time-outs to have fun. We are in our twenties, a time when we don’t need to get caught up in the stresses that life throws at us. Three, don’t take yourself too seriously or your own plans. If God wanted you in charge of your life, he would have put you in charge of it. Katie Yantis appears every Wednesday in the Troy Daily News.

This Oct. 28, 2003 file photo shows actor Andy Griffith sitting in front of a bronze statue of Andy and Opie from the “Andy Griffith Show,” after the unveiling ceremony in Raleigh, N.C.
Andy Griffith, creator of Mayberry, dies at age 86
This undated file image originally released by Viacom shows cast members from "The Andy Griffith Show," from left, Don Knotts as Deputy Barney Fife, Ron Howard as Opie Taylor and Andy Griffith as Sheriff Andy Taylor. which Griffith played a cagey Harvardeducated, Southern-bred attorney with a leisurely law practice in Atlanta. Decked out in his seersucker suit in a steamy courtroom (air conditioning would have spoiled the mood), Matlock could toy with a witness and tease out a confession like a folksy Perry Mason. This new character law-abiding, fatherly and lovable was like a latter-day homage to Sheriff Andy Taylor, updated with silver hair. The show aired though 1995. Griffith was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts Hall of Fame in 1992. In 2005, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the country’s highest civilian honors. In a statement Tuesday, President Barack Obama said Griffith’s characters “warmed the hearts of Americans everywhere.” Griffith’s signature role “put heavy pressure on him because everyone felt like he was their best friend,” Fincannon said. “With great grace, he handled the constant barrage of people wanting to talk to Andy Taylor.” In the coastal town of Manteo, Griffith protected his privacy with help from a circle of friends who revealed little to nothing about him. Strangers who asked where Griffith lived would receive circular directions that took them to the beach, said William Ivey Long, the Tony Award-winning costume designer whose parents were friends with Griffith and his first wife, Barbara. Griffith and Knotts had become friends while performing in “No Time for Sergeants” and remained so until Knotts’ death at 81. Knotts’ widow, Francey Yarborough Knotts, said Griffith was in good spirits when she spoke with him June 1, his birthday. “Don and I loved Andy very much,” she said in a statement. “Andy and Don had a great friendship and a great creative partnership. Throughout their lives, they continued to have fun together and discuss the art of comedy and acting.” Asked in 2007 to name his favorite episodes, Griffith cited those that emphasized Knotts’ character. “The second episode that we shot I knew Don should be funny and I should play straight for him,” Griffith said. “That opened up the whole series because I could play straight for everybody else. And I didn’t have to be funny. I just let them be funny.” Griffith’s generosity toward his castmates paid off richly for those fellow actors, particularly Knotts. Sheriff Taylor was ever-indulgent with the twitchy, bug-eyed Deputy Fife and loved joshing with him just for sport. The result was five supporting-actor Emmys for Knotts.

LUCILLE F. CULHANE

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Andy Griffith’s gift to the show that bore his name wasn’t just the homespun wisdom of the plainspoken sheriff he played. It was the place he created: a small town where all foibles are forgiven and friendships are forever, full of characters who felt like family. Mayberry, a fictional North Carolina village said to be modeled on Griffith’s own hometown of Mount Airy, was so beloved that it practically became a synonym for any community that was too innocent and trusting for real life. After all, Griffith’s Mayberry was a place where the sheriff didn’t carry a gun, the local drunk locked himself in jail and even the villains who passed through were changed by their stay. On “The Andy Griffith Show,” he created an endearing portrait of a place where few people grew up but many wished they did. Griffith, who died Tuesday at 86 at his North Carolina home, played a sage widower named Andy Taylor who offered gentle guidance to son Opie, played by little Ron Howard, who grew up to become an Oscar-winning director. Griffith inhabited the sheriff’s “aw, shucks” persona so completely that viewers easily believed the character and the man were one. “What made ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ work was Andy Griffith himself the fact that he was of this dirt and had such deep respect for the people and places of his childhood,” said Craig Fincannon, who runs a casting agency in Wilmington and met Griffith in 1974. A character on the show “might be broadly eccentric, but the character had an ethical and moral base that allowed us to laugh with them and not at them,” he said. “And Andy Griffith’s the reason for that.” Don Knotts, who died in 2006, was the goofy Deputy Barney Fife, while Jim Nabors joined the show as Gomer Pyle, the cornpone gas pumper. George Lindsey, who died in May, was the beanie-wearing Goober. The sheriff’s loving Aunt Bee was played by the late Frances Bavier. The show initially aired from 1960 to 1968 and never really left television, living on for decades in reruns. Almost 20 years later, a reunion movie titled “Return to Mayberry” was the top-rated TV movie of the 1985-86 season. The series became one of only three in TV history to bow out at the top of the ratings (The others were “I Love Lucy” and “Seinfeld.”). Griffith said he decided to end it “because I thought it was slipping, and I didn’t want it to go down further.” In a 2007 interview with The Associated Press, Griffith said he wasn’t as wise as the sheriff or as nice. He described himself as having the qualities of one of his last roles, that of the cranky diner owner in “Waitress,” and also of his most manipulative character, from the 1957 movie “A Face in the Crowd.” “But I guess you could say I created Andy Taylor,” he said. “Andy Taylor’s the best part of my mind. The best part of me.” Griffith’s skill at playing a lovable rube was first established on a comedic monologue titled “What It Was, Was Football,” about a bumpkin attending a college football game. That led to his first national television exposure on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1954 and the stage and screen versions of “No Time for Sergeants,” a production that cast Griffith as Will Stockdale, an over-eager young hillbilly who, as a draftee in the Air Force, overwhelms the military with his rosy attitude. His television career slowed down in the 1970s but resumed in 1986 with “Matlock,” a light-hearted legal drama in

Dear Annie: My daughter has been married to a drug abuser for 10 years. "Rob" can't keep a job and sells everything on the premises for money to buy more drugs. He even took his 9-yearold daughter with him to trade her TV and other electronics for narcotics. Rob has been in rehab three times and makes lots of promises, but always goes back to the drugs. My daughter has a responsible job. She has taken Rob's name off of the checking accounts and credit cards, and she hides her purse and jewelry every night. She was unable to keep up the house payments, and they are in foreclosure. She is currently living in an apartment, and Rob lives with his parents. With my financial support, she has filed for divorce. So far, I have given her more than $3,000. She lives in another state and has emotional support from her siblings and us by phone. Here's the problem. I feel like she is wavering. She keeps talking about what a great dad Rob is when he's sober and how hard the separation has been on the kids. I know how difficult it is for her to be a single mom. But I have told her that if she does not go through with the divorce, I will not help her again. Is this too harsh? I want to be there for her, but I have to work, and my income isn't that big. Any advice on this situation? — Loving Mom, Disgusted Mother-inLaw Dear Mom: You are not obligated to support your daughter regardless of the circumstances, but we are certain your financial assistance helps her to manage as a single parent. Still, she undoubtedly loves her husband and wants her children to have a full-time father. And it's easier to forget the hardships once you are separated from them. Instead of issuing ultimatums, urge her to get into counseling to figure out why she continues to be drawn to someone so needy and incapable of being a true partner to her. Help her to be stronger so her choices will be better. Dear Annie: During the past year, I have noticed that my 73year-old mother-in-law seems to be losing her memory and becoming very rattled. She forgets where her son works, what day she is having dinner with us, and where her grandchildren attend school, although she has been there a hundred times. She writes everything down on pieces of paper that she sticks in her purse or strews about the house. Her friends convinced her to see her internist, which she did. He gave her a series of general questions, which she answered and from which he determined that she was absolutely fine. Mom was thrilled. How can we get her to see another doctor when she is now convinced that she is perfectly healthy? We know something is going on, and it is just getting worse. — Want To Help Dear Want: Your mother's doctor should have tested her for executive functioning, which is probably a different test than the one he administered. However, it still may have been possible for her to pass any test if she was feeling OK that day and not under any stress. Your mother could benefit from seeing a geriatrician, and we recommend you have a referral handy for the next time she is concerned enough about her memory that she is amenable. Dear Annie: My heart went out to "Worried Woman," the 54year-old woman who has no family or friends. Please tell her to contact the Red Hat Society, an international organization for women of any age, single or married. The goal is friendship and fun. We wear red hats and purple clothes to all of our activities, including outings, dinners and travel. She can find a chapter in her area by searching redhatsociety.com. — M.L.

Hints from Heloise Columnist kitchen utensils are found. You also can find them online by simply typing in “zester” in the search box. Good luck. — Heloise SLOW-COOKER SAFETY Dear Heloise: Many times slow cookers go unused because of the safety issue of not being there in case, when in use, some-
thing should boil over or worse. We place the slow cooker on the stove when cooking all day so that should anything go wrong, it will simply spill over onto the stovetop, which is able to handle it. — Will J., Mission Viejo, Calif. OATMEAL OPTIONS Dear Heloise: For people who are not fond of oatmeal or those who want a change, try using orange, pineapple, apple or other real fruit juice in place of the water when cooking. By doing so, you usually eliminate salt, water and sweetener. And definitely use cinnamon. I often add chopped nuts and/or whole fruit when cooking the
cereal. Breakfast can be a real treat, and good for you. — Elizabeth M., Billings, Mont. Oatmeal is a favorite of mine! Sometimes I “zing” it up by adding cinnamon candy and a dash of nutmeg. Even cold, it’s a tasty treat. — Heloise SANDWICH HELPER Dear Heloise: I often make sandwiches for my lunch. Instead of using a clean plate, I make my sandwich on a paper towel. I then wrap the sandwich in the paper towel and place it in a plastic bag. This keeps me from getting a plate dirty, and I think it helps keep the bread from getting soggy. — K.R., via email

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, July 4, the 186th day of 2012. There are 180 days left in the year. This is Independence Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by delegates to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. On this date: • In 1802, the United States Military Academy officially opened at West Point, N.Y. • In 1831, the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe, died in New York City at age 73.
• In 1912, the 48-star American flag, recognizing New Mexico statehood, was adopted. A train wreck near Corning, N.Y., claimed 39 lives. • In 1939, Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees delivered his famous farewell speech in which he called himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.” • In 1942, Irving Berlin’s musical review “This Is the Army” opened at the Broadway Theater in New York. • In 1960, America’s 50-star flag, recognizing Hawaiian statehood, was officially unfurled. • In 1976, Israeli commandos
raided Entebbe airport in Uganda, rescuing almost all of the passengers and crew of an Air France jetliner seized by pro-Palestinian hijackers. • In 1987, Klaus Barbie, the former Gestapo chief known as the “Butcher of Lyon,” was convicted by a French court of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life in prison (he died in September 1991). • Today’s Birthdays: Playwright Neil Simon is 85. Broadcast journalist Geraldo Rivera is 69. Singer John Waite is 57. Presidential daughter Malia Obama is 14.
Utilities rely on out-of-state workers after storm LEESBURG, Va. (AP) — A fleet of 20 electrical utility trucks, with cranes capable of hoisting a line worker 55 feet above the ground, commandeered the parking lot behind a Hampton Inn in the northern Virginia exurbs of Washington early Tuesday morning. The sight was familiar in the days following a violent thunderstorm with n e a r- h u r r i c a n e - f o r c e winds that knocked out power to millions of people in the Mid-Atlantic region. But residents and hotel guests might have been surprised by the company name on the trucks Gulf Power, as in the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida license plates. On Saturday morning, the day after the storm, Pensacola-based Gulf Power rounded up more than five-dozen employees and told them to pack for up to 2 weeks on the road. It took 2 full days for the convoy of trucks to make the nearly 1,000-mile trek to Leesburg, a town about 40 miles west of the nation’s capital that’s surrounded by wineries and horse farms. “It’s long and grinding. That’s probably the worst part of the whole thing, is trying to get here,” said lineman Kirk Allen, 51, who’s worked for Gulf Power for 23 years. Utilities routinely rely on a network of out-ofstate workers to pitch in during major outages. Of the 5,400 workers restoring power to Dominion customers in Virginia, 1,800 were from out of state including crews from as far away as Iowa, Texas and Ontario, Canada. Baltimore Gas & Electric, which serves central Maryland, had 1,300 outof-state workers supplementing its own 2,000 crew members, and Pepco, which serves Washington and suburban Maryland,

had 700 out-of-state workers among its 3,000 field personnel. All three utilities brought in workers from Canada. Utilities would not disclose how much they are paying for out-of-state workers, but Richmondbased Dominion says they are covering all the expenses associated with bringing crews to the region and reimbursing their employers for the
workers’ wages and overtime. Without the assistance from other utilities, restoring power to everyone “would take weeks and
weeks, rather than just days and days,” said Ed Orenduff, 64, a retired Dominion employee who was called in on a contract basis to coordinate the
out-of-state crews. As he spoke, another supervisor was calling area restaurants and asking whether they could accommodate up to 75
hungry workers. Orenduff advised him not to make a reservation earlier than 8 p.m. “We need to work ‘em till dark,” he said. That’s exactly what the out-of-state crews expect. Their 16-hour days follow a familiar routine: a wakeup call at dawn, breakfast and lunch on the road and a sit-down dinner. They collapse in their hotel beds and do it all over again. “When you get in the bed, you go straight to sleep,” Allen said. “The first few days, it’s not that bad. You’ve got a whole lot of adrenaline.” Allen said he’s had tougher assignments than working in the Washington area amid sweltering July heat. He cringed at the memory of an ice storm in Mississippi in 2002 that had him on the road for 18 days. “That was worse. Real slow, real cold,” Allen said. John Parker, 55, a 29year Gulf Power employee who was supervising a team of workers from the Panama City, Fla., area, said that when out-of-state assignments pop up, there are always more volunteers than available spots. He tries to distribute the work evenly, and workers can usually count on a couple of road trips a year. The overtime pay is nice, but not enough to radically alter anyone’s lifestyle, he said. Allen said he didn’t take the out-of-state assignments for the money. “It’s more the satisfaction of getting people’s lights back on. Not everybody can do it,” he said as his colleagues worked to fix a snapped power line. “These guys working for Dominion right now, they’re tired.” As if on cue, a local resident drove by in a pickup truck, lowered his window and yelled, “We appreciate it!”

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.

Lead team after Cozart’s injury LOS ANGELES (AP) — It wasn’t until Zack Cozart’s teammates were able to see him walking around the clubhouse and talking coherently to reporters that they could start feeling feel good about their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. Rookies Devin Mesoraco and Todd Frazier each drove in three runs and the Cincinnati Reds kept their focus after Cozart sustained a concussion when he was hit in the helmet by Chad Billingsley, beating the Dodgers 8-2. “They gave him all the tests

Sam Wharton, a junior at Tippecanoe High School, competed against 36 of the best high school distance runners in the nation in the 5,000 meter run at the New Balance Outdoor Track and Field Nationals June 14 in Greensboro, NC. Wharton placed fifth with a time of 14:46. His fifth-place finish earned him the designation High School All-American, a designation given to the top six finishers in each race.
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Thanks to a bit of advice from her big sister and a bunch of aces from her big serve, Serena Williams is back in the Wimbledon semifinals. With two more victories, Williams will be holding a Grand Slam trophy for the first time in two years. The thud of racket-againstball reverberating under the closed Centre Court roof, Williams smacked 13 aces at up to 120 mph and overpowered defending champion Petra Kvitova 6-3, 7-5 in the quarterfinals Tuesday at the All England Club. Beforehand, Williams’ father and coach, Richard, asked his other title-winning daughter to relay some suggestions. “I went and had Venus talk to her, because Venus can get (through) to Serena better than anyone in the world. So I told Venus, ‘I’m not going to talk to her. You talk to her.’ So Venus went and talked to her. When the match was over, I told her, ‘Venus: Good coaching! Good coaching!’” Dad said after snapping photos of Serena’s victory from his front-row perch in the guest box above a scoreboard. “I wanted Serena to move her

Paterno’s family on defensive after e-mail leak
Another milestone victory for Woods In a rush to announce a milestone for Tiger Woods — not that his record needs any embellishment — the PGA Tour revealed that the AT&T National was the 100th professional win of his career. See Page 16.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Joe Paterno’s family and supporters are defending the late coach against a leak of apparently damaging material released during highly secretive investigations into former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Details from a decade-old email have raised new questions about whether the Hall of Fame coach tried to cover up a sex abuse complaint against Sandusky. With Paterno no longer able to come to his own defense, his family has fought back, with their lawyer accusing “someone
in a position of authority” of trying to smear the late coach. But family spokesman Dan McGinn said Tuesday he wasn’t w o r r i e d about the PATERNO v a r i o u s investigations’ impact on Paterno’s legacy. McGinn said Paterno never directed him to protect his legacy or clear his name during their discussions
that followed Sandusky’s arrest in November. “Joe Paterno had confidence in the way he lived,” McGinn said. “He believed his life record would speak for itself.” Paterno died from lung cancer at age 85 in January, two months after the Penn State trustees fired him, citing a lack of leadership in response to a 2001 report by graduate assistant Mike McQueary about Sandusky showering with a boy in a football team locker room. Paterno issued a statement in December that said he reported the McQueary complaint to ath-
letic director Tim Curley, and “that was the last time the matter was brought to my attention.” But CNN has reported that an email from Curley indicated he changed his mind about going to child welfare authorities after speaking with Paterno, which suggests the longtime coach took a more active role in the decision than what he described. Curley, now on leave from the university, and retired vice president Gary Schultz, are awaiting trial on charges they did not properly report the suspected

KC’s Kauffman Stadium prepping for All-Star game KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — On a piece of metal scaffolding beyond the left-field wall at Kauffman Stadium, construction workers bolted together a table under a sweltering midday sun, the temperature tickling triple digits and sweat pouring off their brows. Along the baselines, groundskeepers laid stencils and began to paint AllStar game logos, while other workers hurriedly connected miles of cable, built camera platforms, hung banners and spruced up every corner of the Kansas City Royals’ home for its night in
the national spotlight. The anticipation is almost over: The All-Star game is merely a week away. “People haven’t been here in a long time, because no postseason games have been played here since 1985,” Royals vice president Mike Swanson said Tuesday. “We want people to say, ‘Wow, they did a heck of a job and we want to go back.’ That’s what we want.” That’s what the staff of the Royals along with untold numbers of construction workers has been doing since the club left town for
an extended road trip last week. There are entire sets to build for Fox, which has television rights for Monday night’s Home Run Derby and Tuesday night’s AllStar game. There are bleachers to build for overflow press, and air conditioning to run to a giant, walk-in soda can in right field, where sponsor Pepsi is giving some fortunate fans an opportunity to see the festivities from a most unique vantage point. Extra photo bays are being constructed for the roughly 75 still photogra-
phers documenting every aspect of the game. Electrical and internet cables are being run for some 500 reporters who will be covering the All-Star game on deadline for electronic and print publications. All told, there will be 2,556 credentials issued to reporters, technicians, officials and others associated with the event, second only to the 2008 All-Star game at the old Yankee Stadium. “When we got the game, we thought this would be one of the least-covered AllStar games,” said Swanson,
pointing out that the economy was in the doldrums just a few years ago, and the Olympics and November elections will financially strap many news organizations this year. “That has turned out to be about as far from the truth as you can get.” This is the third time Kansas City has rolled out the red carpet for baseball’s elite. The city hosted the game at the old Municipal Stadium in 1960, back when the Athletics were in town. The A’s moved to Oakland in 1968, and the Royals
came into being the following year, and new owner Ewing Kauffman the namesake of the stadium was rewarded for his desire to keep the game in Kansas City by hosting the 1973 All-Star game at his newly constructed ballpark. Kauffman Stadium recently underwent a $250 million renovation in part to lure the All-Star game back to Kansas City, and commissioner Bud Selig officially awarded the game on June 16, 2010. Two years of whirlwind preparations are about to come to fruition.

Only 7 for Phelps
Goodell rejects Saints’ appeals
Won’t attempt to match Beijing feat OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Eight was enough for Michael Phelps in Beijing. The world’s greatest swimmer dropped one of his eight Olympic events on Monday, leaving him with seven at the London Games. That means the 14-time gold medalist won’t equal the record eight golds he won four years ago. And Phelps is just fine with that. “Four years ago, we were trying to literally do everything,” he told The Associated Press in an interview Monday. “That was what we wanted to do but at this point, it’s let’s go out, let’s have some fun, let’s relax a little bit.” Phelps’ coach, Bob Bowman, announced Monday on the final day of the U.S. trials that Phelps was scratching the 200meter freestyle. “It’s so much smarter for me to do that,” Phelps said. “We’re not trying to recreate what happened in Beijing. It just makes more sense.” Phelps qualified in five individual events for London and is expected to swim all three relays. But, on Bowman’s recommendation, he will focus on the 200 and 400 individual medley and the 100 and 200 butterfly. “This is an event program that I’m very confident that I can do and do better than I did here,” he said, referring to his results in Omaha. Bowman said his main concern was Phelps being fresh for the 400 freestyle relay. While the U.S. has traditionally dominated that event, Australia is favored in London. The relay was one of Phelps’ closest calls in Beijing, with teammate Jason Lezak coming from behind on the anchor leg to beat a strong French squad. The relay final is on the same day as the preliminaries and semifinals of the 200 freestyle. “The 400 free relay is

Michael Phelps swims to victory in the men’s 100-meter butterfly final at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials on Sunday in Omaha, Neb. going to be harder than it was last time,” Phelps said between bites of French toast, scrambled eggs and bacon over a late breakfast. “It just allows me to put my energy elsewhere instead of trying to control it for another three races.” Phelps has to swim preliminaries, semifinals and finals in the 200 IM, and the 100 and 200 butterfly. The grueling 400 IM, which opens the swimming competition on July 28, has prelims and finals. “It’s a lot and it is going to be stressful,” he said. “My body is not going to feel the same as it did after the Beijing 400 IM. I was fresh and still ready to go.” Now 27, Phelps hasn’t adhered to the rigid training schedule he was on for years leading up to Beijing. After the Great Haul of China, he took time off and showed little interest in resuming the grind that had prepared him to win eight events. “No one should be expected to do that twice,” Bowman said of the program Phelps swam in Beijing. “Once was more than enough.” Eventually, Phelps
recommitted to coming to practice and doing the work. He and Bowman viewed the eight-day trials as a barometer for how Phelps’ body would handle the busy schedule. “We were, I guess, pretty happy with it,” Phelps said. “I was able to swim some pretty good times and not really feel great, but over the next couple of weeks that’s something that we’re going to improve on and work on.” With Phelps dropping the 200 free, Ricky Berens moved up to claim an individual spot on the Olympic team for the first time. He was already scheduled to swim the 400 and 800 free relays. “Dream come true!” Berens tweeted. Dropping the 200 free also removes one of Phelps’ showdowns with American rival Ryan Lochte, the defending world champion. They will now face each other in just the two individual medleys. “It gives me a day off for recovery after the (400) IM,” Phelps said. ‘It’s something that’s needed. Swimming that many times is brutal and there’s no need to put
myself through that.” Phelps had vowed to drop the grueling 400 IM after Beijing, but he put it back on his program earlier this year. Bowman wanted him to swim that event because it’s on the first day of the Olympic program, which made it more appealing than the 200 free even though Phelps won that event at the trials and finished second behind Lochte in the 400 IM. “Ryan did shut it down the last 15 meters of the race and it was fairly obvious,” Phelps said. “I know it’s going to be challenging, but I’ve always stepped up to challenges and I love challenges. Looking forward to that one and it’s going to be the first one of the meet.” Phelps is giving up the chance to defend his 200 free Olympic title and regain the world record that Germany’s Paul Biedermann set at the 2009 world championships wearing one of the high-tech bodysuits that are now banned. Phelps will still have a chance to three-peat in his other four individual races. No swimmer has ever won the same event in three straight Olympics.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has rejected the appeals of four players suspended in connection with the league’s bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints. In a ruling handed down on Tuesday, Goodell told Jonathan Vilma, Anthony Hargrove, Will Smith and Scott Fujita that he retains “the inherent authority to reduce a suspension should facts be brought to my attention warranting the exercise of that discretion. “The record confirms that each of you was given multiple chances to meet with me to present your side of the story,” Goodell said. “You are each still welcome to do so.” Vilma is suspended for the entire 2012 season, while Smith will miss four games. Hargrove, now with Green Bay, was suspended eight games, while now with Fujita, Cleveland, was suspended three games. The NFL Players Association issued a statement saying it will continue to pursue all options. “The players are disappointed with the League’s during this conduct process,” the statement said. “We reiterate our concerns about the lack of fair due process, lack of integrity of the investigation and lack of the jurisdictional authority to impose discipline under the collective bargaining agreement. “Moreover, the Commissioner took actions during this process that rendered it impossible for him to be an impartial arbitrator.” Goodell said he did not take his initial decision lightly and also points out that players did not help their cause by refusing to participate fully in the appeal process. Vilma and his attorney, Peter Ginsberg, walked out of the hearing early after Ginsberg raised his objections to the NFL’s handling of the entire investigation. The other
three players, who were represented by NFL Players Association attorneys, sat through the hearing to observe the NFL’s presentation of evidence, but in protest refused to present any evidence or witnesses of their own, and did not question the NFL investigators who were present at the hearing. “Although you claimed to have been ‘wrongfully accused with insufficient evidence,’ your lawyers elected not to ask a single question of the principal investigators, both of whom were present at the hearing,” Goodell wrote in his appeal ruling. “You elected not to testify or to make any substantive statement, written or oral, in support of your appeal; you elected not to call a single witness to support your appeal; and you elected not to introduce a single exhibit addressing the merits of your appeal. Instead, your lawyers raised a series of jurisdictional and procedural objections that generally ignore” the collective bargaining agreement. The NFL issued a report in March saying that league investigators determined the Saints ran a bounty program from 2009 to 2011 that offered improper cash payments for hits that injured targeted opponents. The league has said former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams ran the program, and that general manager Mickey Loomis and head coach Sean Payton failed to put a stop to it despite warnings from the NFL at the end of the 2009 season. The NFL has suspended Williams indefinitely and Payton for the whole season. Loomis is suspended the first half of next season, while Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt was suspended for the first six games. Goodell also docked the Saints secondround draft picks this year and next and fined the club $500,000.

Wimbledon ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 feet a little bit more and to not concentrate on what the girl’s doing, but concentrate exactly on what she wished to do,” he continued. “And that was the only message.” Consider it delivered. The 30-year-old Williams, bidding to become the first woman at least that age to win a major title since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1990, turned in her best performance of the tournament against her most difficult opponent. After being stretched to 9-7 and 7-5 third sets against lessaccomplished women in the two previous rounds, the No. 6-seeded Williams was on top of things from the get-go against No. 4 Kvitova. “You can’t play a defending Wimbledon
champion or Grand Slam champion and not elevate your game,” said Williams, who produced 27 winners and only 10 unforced errors. “I had to weed out the riffraff and just get serious.” Kvitova had won 16 of her last 17 matches at Wimbledon, including 11 in a row since a loss to Williams in the 2010 semifinals. Two days later, Williams went on to win the championship her fourth at Wimbledon, her 13th at a Grand Slam tournament and her most recent to date. Within a week, Williams cut her feet on glass at a restaurant, leading to a series of health problems, including being hospitalized for clots in her lungs, then the removal of a pocket of blood under the skin on her stomach.
“No one tries to have ups and downs. Some things happen sometimes, and you have absolutely no control over it,” said Williams, whose only firstround loss in 48 Grand Slam tournaments came at the French Open in late May. “So I think it’s how you recover from that, and how you handle the downs even more than the ups can really (reveal your) character.” On Thursday, Williams will play No. 2 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, the reigning Australian Open champion, who defeated unseeded Tamira Paszek 6-3, 7-6 (4) under the roof at night to reach the Wimbledon semifinals for the second straight year. The other semifinal will be No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland against No. 8 Angelique
WIMBLEDON AT A GLANCE WIMBLEDON, England — A look at Wimbledon on Tuesday: Weather: Rain. High of 64 degrees. Men’s Fourth-Round Matches: No. 4 Andy Murray beat No. 16 Marin Cilic 75, 6-2, 6-3; No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat No. 10 Mardy Fish 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4, 64; No. 7 David Ferrer beat No. 9 Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-2, 6-3; No. 27 Philipp Kohlschreiber beat qualifier Brian Baker 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-3; No. 31 Florian Mayer beat No. 18 Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-1, 3-6, 6-2. Women’s Quarterfinal Matches: No. 2 Victoria Azarenka beat Tamira Paszek 6-3, 7-6 (4); No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska beat No. 17 Maria Kirilenko 7-5, 4-6, 75; No. 6 Serena Williams beat No. 4 Petra Kvitova 6-3, 7-5; No. 8 Angelique Kerber beat No. 15 Sabine Lisicki 6-3, 6-7 (7), 7-5. Stat of the Day: 57, 50 Winners, unforced errors for Lisicki in her loss to Kerber, who had 19 winners and 13 unforced errors. Quote of the Day: “I had to weed out the riffraff and just get serious.” Williams, who was pushed to 9-7 and 7-5 third sets in her two previous matches but outplayed defending champion Kvitova. On Court Wednesday: No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 31 Florian Mayer, No. 3 Roger Federer vs. Mikhail Youzhny, No. 4 Andy Murray vs. No. 7 David Ferrer, No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga vs. No. 27 Philipp Kohlschreiber in the men’s quarterfinals. Wednesday’s Forecast: Rain. High of 68 degrees.
Kerber of Germany. A little before 10 p.m. on Centre Court, Radwanska finished her 75, 4-6, 7-5 victory over No. 17 Maria Kirilenko whose boyfriend, two-time NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals, was
in the stands. Earlier, the match was forced off Court 1 because of showers, tied 4-all in the third set. “Today was for me, like, 40 hours,” Radwanska said after reaching her first Grand Slam semifinal. “I was on and off all the time,
waiting pretty much all day.” Kerber was a 6-3, 6-7 (7), 7-5 winner over No. 15 Sabine Lisicki in an allGerman matchup. Lisicki saved three match points in the second set, but then let a 5-3 lead slip away in the third against Kerber, also a semifinalist at last year’s U.S. Open. Williams owns, by far, the best resume of any woman in action Tuesday. She was participating in her 33rd major quarterfinal; the other seven players have been in a total of 29. Not surprisingly, Kvitova expects Williams to win the title. Asked how difficult it is for anyone to beat Williams when she plays the way she did Saturday, the Czech replied: “It is big difficult.”

‘Forrest’ Sagan wins stage BOULOGNE-SURMER, France (AP) — Once upon a time in Hollywood, the cry was “Run, Forrest, Run!” The message was not lost on Peter Sagan at the Tour de France. The 22-year-old Slovakian won Tuesday’s ride toward the English Channel in dramatic fashion, and then went cinematic — pumping his arms in the running style of fictional antihero Forrest Gump at the behest of his Liquigas teammates. Competing in his first Tour, Sagan earned his second victory in the three full stages so far. He is picking up where he left off in May at the Tour of California, where he won a stunning five of eight stages. On Tuesday, he mastered a tricky uphill finish and schooled many older riders on the last of five small climbs over the 122mile ride from Orchies to the fishing port of Boulogne-sur-Mer. With the pack split up because of crashes, Sagan bolted ahead with less than 300 meters left. He crossed the line several lengths and one second ahead of 46 other riders in his wake. Switzerland’s Fabian Cancellara was one of them, and he retained the leader’s yellow jersey for a fourth straight day after winning the opening-day prologue on Saturday. Tuesday’s ride marked the first crash-related withdrawals from this 99th Tour, which ends July 22 on Paris’ ChampsElysees. The race remains wide open. After flat early stages, the Swiss rider has 43 rivals within a minute of his overall time, and that’s likely to change when the pack heads to the Alps in the second week and the Pyrenees in the third, if not sooner. Overall, Cancellara leads runner-up Bradley Wiggins, who is hoping to become Britain’s first Tour winner, and third-place Sylvain Chavanel both seven seconds back. Defending champ Cadel Evans of Australia rose one spot to seventh, 17 seconds behind. Sagan was 15th, another six seconds slower. With Sagan’s Stage 1 victory Sunday, he became the youngest rider to win a Tour stage since Lance Armstrong in 1993 at 21. Even leaders of rival teams were marveling at his skill and potential after Tuesday’s victory. “You’ve got to give Sagan credit for the way he’s riding at the minute. When you see something like that you just have to stand back and admire it, and smile and say well done,” Team Sky manager Dave Brailsford said. “It’s a bit like watching Messi playing football or something isn’t it?” he said, referring to Barcelona’s Lionel Messi. “He’s winning with such apparent ease at the moment that it’s pretty phenomenal.” Sagan enjoys putting on a show for fans. To that end, he churned his arms, as a runner might, in a nod to the title character in the movie “Forrest Gump.” “It’s a thing I’d discussed with my teammates about what kind of gesture I’d do on the line,” Sagan said. “Everybody said, ‘Do a Forrest Gump’ because when he was told to run, he ran. And when I’m told to win, I win.”

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 “It reminded me of when Goose Gossage hit ‘Penguin’ (Ron Cey) in the (1981) World Series and I was on deck. That’s how loud it was,” he said. Cozart singled his first two times up before being struck by Billingsley’s first-pitch fastball in the fifth inning. The rookie shortstop held his head with both hands while lying on his stomach for several anxious moments before walking off under his own power. “I think it just got away from him. I don’t even really remember, to be honest,” Cozart said. “I just remember hearing a pretty loud bang then I had some ringing in my ears, and that’s why I was on the ground holding my ears.” “I’ve been hit before a couple of years ago in the minor leagues, and it was worse then because it got me under the helmet. But this one was scary because it was so loud when it hit the helmet,” Cozart added. “That’s why we wear helmets. The doc just said to monitor it throughout the night. I think everything should be OK. I feel fine. I feel a lot better than I thought I was going to be.” Homer Bailey and the NL Central leaders sent the Dodgers to their 12th loss in 14 games. Cincinnati played without All-Star first baseman Joey Votto, who has inflammation in his left knee, and third baseman Scott Rolen, who was scratched after leaving Sunday’s game at San Francisco because of back spasms. But Mesoraco and Frazier helped pick up the slack. “We’re a team. We’ve got 25 guys, and everyone is supposed to do their job and contribute,” Mesoraco said. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve played 15 years or one year. This is our job to
go out there and help the team win. Me and Todd came up big tonight, but throughout the year, everyone on the 25-man roster is going to have their good games and help us win.” Bailey (6-6) allowed two runs and five hits in eight innings, striking out seven and walking one. Billingsley (4-8) lost his fourth straight start, giving up three runs and six hits in six innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. The right-hander is 0-4 with a 4.70 ERA in his last eight outings at Dodger Stadium. Billingsley took a 2-0 lead into the fifth and retired his first two batters before hitting Cozart. Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt came out to settle down Billingsley after the scary incident, and he retired the slumping Drew Stubbs for the third out. “We just thought it was a good time to take a moment, step back and absorb the whole thing and gather his thoughts so that he could keep pitching well,” Honeycutt said. “He was throwing the ball extremely well to that point, but there was just a change of momentum there, and unfortunately, he didn’t escape that sixth inning.” Angels 3, Indians 0 CLEVELAND — Jered Weaver carried a shutout into the eighth inning, squirming out of a basesloaded jam in the seventh, to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 3-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Monday night. Weaver (9-1) allowed five singles, struck out two and remained unbeaten in Cleveland. He’s 5-0 with 1.52 ERA in eight career starts at Progressive Field. Scott Downs worked out of a mess in the eighth and pitched the ninth for his seventh save.
AT&T National victory was Woods’ 100th BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — In a rush to announce a milestone for Tiger Woods — not that his record needs any embellishment — the PGA Tour revealed that the AT&T National was the 100th professional win of his career. Woods took to Twitter and said he found that to be “pretty cool.” It’s also a little complicated. Woods moved past Jack Nicklaus into second place on the PGA Tour’s career list of official wins at 74. Nicklaus, however, is credited with two wins at the National Four-ball Championship, a better-ball competition at Laurel Valley in 1970 and 1971 with none other than Arnold Palmer as his partner. Sam Snead holds the PGA Tour record with 82 wins. For years, he was listed at 81 until the PGA Tour finally decided to recognize the British Open (also known as the oldest championship in golf) that Snead won in 1946 on the Old Course at St. Andrews (also known as the home of golf). Snead also is credited with four official wins in the International Inverness Four-Ball, which he won with Vic Ghezzi, Ralph Guldahl and twice with Jim Ferrier; and the Miami Biltmore International Four-Ball that he won with Guldahl. And get this he is credited with winning the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am in 1950, which was a tie among Snead, Dave Douglas, Jack Burke Jr. and Smiley Quick. So where did the PGA Tour come up with 100 wins for Woods? By counting two wins from one tournament (1999

By counting seven wins from the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, a 36hole exhibition for major champions. And by counting a World Cup with David Duval that featured alternate shot for two of the rounds. The most peculiar decision is the World Cup. Before the PGA Tour took it over and tried making it a World Golf Championship, it was stroke play in which both scores counted. Woods was medalist in 1999 in Malaysia (one win), and he and O’Meara won the team total (another win). Woods and Duval won the next year in Argentina when it was truly a team format. But then, why stop at the World Cup? Woods played on one winning Ryder Cup team in 1999 at The Country Club. He picked up five more wins in the Presidents Cup. That doesn’t include the famous tie in South Africa

PGA Tour and is closing in on Slammin’ Sammy. And he will try to add to his total this week at The Greenbrier Classic, where Snead was the first emeritus head professional. Perhaps the best measure of Woods’ worldwide wins is to include any tournament that belongs to a recognized tour, or any tournament that offers worldranking points. That would give him 12 more and bring the total to 86. He won the Johnnie Walker twice, including the time he made up an eightshot deficit and beat Ernie Els in a playoff in Thailand. He won the Deutsche BankSAP Open in Germany three times. He won the Dunlop Phoenix in Japan twice. He won the Dubai Desert Classic twice, most recently in 2008 with birdies on five of the last seven holes to hold off a young German named Martin Kaymer.

in 2003, so you might as well include it. After all, the Americans were the defending champions, and Snead was able to count a tie for one of his wins. Besides, Woods considered it a win. When he won the Australian Masters six years later for his first trophy from Down Under, he said he was proud to have won on every continent where golf is played. “I haven’t played the Antarctica Four-Ball yet,” he said. “But to have won on every playable continent, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. And now I’ve done that.” To the best of anyone’s knowledge, neither Snead nor Nicklaus won the Antarctica Four-Ball, either. Anyway, to keep track of wins outside the parameters of a home tour can get a little messy. This much we know: Woods has 74 wins on the
■ CONTINUED FROM 13 child abuse, then lied to a grand jury about how seriously they viewed McQueary’s report. It’s unclear how the email traffic about Paterno might affect their criminal defense: whether it will be used to show how the men agonized over a difficult decision or whether the correspondence suggests the powerful head football coach was really calling the shots. A spokeswoman for their lawyers offered no immediate comment on the subject Tuesday. Sandusky was convicted last month of 45 counts, including four related to the encounter described in McQueary’s testimony, but acquitted of the most serious count in that encounter. On Monday, the Paterno family issued a statement asking for release of all relevant emails and records from the attorney general’s office and from the company hired by Penn State to conduct a review. McGinn said the description of Curley’s email did not provide the context needed to understand the coach’s actions. “No one should be drawing conclusions based on partial information,” McGinn said. “We’re cautioning everybody: What you’ve got is lots of people passing rumors, claiming to have information, leaking information.” McGinn said Paterno told him only to speak the truth. “He wanted the truth, he wanted to make sure that we respect due process in this,” McGinn said. “Because in the end, you want an investigation or a trial or a review, you want it to stand up over time.” Questions about what Paterno knew arose in the
fall when Sandusky, Curley and Schultz were arrested. At the time, Attorney General Linda Kelly said Paterno was not a target of the investigation into how the school handled the accusations. State police Commissioner Frank Noonan, however, said then that Paterno may have met his legal requirement to report suspected abuse by Sandusky, but “somebody has to question about what I would consider the moral requirements for a human being that knows of sexual things that are taking place with a child.” In January 2011, Paterno testified before a grand jury, saying he reported McQueary’s complaint to Curley. He spoke to the panel for about eight minutes. McGinn said that despite the very limited nature of the questioning, there was no agreement beforehand with prosecutors to limit it. “Most people are shocked” that it was just eight minutes, McGinn said. “They say that just doesn’t seem right.” The board of trustees was hit with a backlash among alumni and former players over their dismissal of Paterno, and has held off on any decision about apologizing to the Paterno family or setting up a permanent campus memorial to him until after a review they commissioned is released, likely in the next month or so. Alumni want a full accounting, said Maribeth Roman Schmidt, spokeswoman for Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship. The group was organized after Paterno was fired and has sought more truthful and transparent leadership for the university.
