Sheriff’s deputy loses his job Investigation into thefts results in Walters’ dismissal BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@dailycall.com

Fireworks malfunction

A Miami County Sheriff ’s deputy placed on paid administrative leave in February during the continuation of an internal investigation revolving around theft allegations has been terminated by the sheriff’s office. Anthony Walters was dismissed by Sheriff Charles Cox on June 26

TROY at the conclusion of that internal investigation for the alleged wrongdoing, said Chief Deputy Dave Duchak. Walters, who worked for the sheriff’s office since August 1998, filed a grievance Monday in response to his dismissal, and the matter is now set for arbitration. In the grievance, Walters seeks rein-

statement, back pay and benefits. According to Walters’ personnel file, the former deputy allegedly stole a digital camera from the sheriff’s office and stole trash bags and reams of paper from the Miami County Park District, in addition to other allegations of misconduct while on duty. Prior to his termination Walters was assigned to patrol and provided law enforcement coverage in all of the parks in Miami County, a job

detail that came with a secondary role that allowed Walters to attend hikes for adults and children and help out with other programs offered by the park district. In addition, Walters also provided law enforcement presence on park bikeways and promoted bicycle safety. Another deputy has been assigned to fill the role previously held by Walters, Duchak said. Walters earned $25.35 an hour, according to sheriff’s office financial figures.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Fourth of July fireworks show went off with a bang over San Diego Bay. Too big a bang. The Big Bay Boom show that was supposed to wow crowds for 20 minutes lasted only about 20 seconds after a computer mishap caused multiple bulbshaped explosions on the bay, lighting the night sky over downtown San Diego and filling the air with deafening booms.

makes it fun for me. For me, it’s like a 10-minute athletic challenge — how hard can you fly? — and when I land, I want the fans to know that was a guy who gave 110 percent of everything he had and that he laid it all out there on the runway for them.” Before air show fans ever see him in the sky, Goulian said countless hours of practice time have been put in to ensure a safe, exciting performance. “I did my first air show in 1989 and I probably have 3,000 hours of aerobatic flying, all in 15minute spurts,” he said. “When you fly and you’re practicing, you can only stand 15 minutes physically. Your brain is wiped, you’re wiped, the airplane is out of fuel and the engine is overheating … and you’ll do that two or three times a day. So that’s probably 12,000 separate aerobatic flights, and probably a third of that is with a coach on the ground saying ‘no, that

was too fast’ or ‘that was too short.’” Being in sound physical and mental shape is key, he said. “We try to make sure that I’m in perfect condition when I start in March, because that’s the best shape I’m going to be in,” Goulian said. “It’s a long grind. So, even though we come to Dayton (in July) and it’s an amazing weekend, we have to go somewhere else the next weekend. Food, hydration, exercise, sleep are important — it’s more of a marathon than a sprint.” A pilot since he was a teenager, Goulian won the prestigious United States Unlimited Aerobatic Championship at age 27, and has represented the U.S. at three World Aerobatic Championships. Additionally, he is one of just seven people to have been awarded all three of the air show industry’s top awards — the Art Scholl Memorial Showmanship Award, the Bill Barber Award for

Showmanship and the ICAS Sword of Excellence. Although he has been on the air show circuit for several years, Goulian is an accomplished competitive pilot, as well, and has garnered numerous awards on the Red Bull Air Race Series. “I actually started flying as a kid. I was an athlete growing up. I played every sport imaginable under the sun, from baseball, hockey, golf — everything — and I transitioned to flying because it was our family’s business,” he said. “I had no idea whether I would take to it or not. But it’s one of those things that, once you’re around it, it’s intoxicating. “I’m just one of those lucky people who found something where I feel I was made to do this.” For more information about Goulian, visit his website at mikegoulian.com.

failure to yield statutes along with other violations contributing to crashes. The goal of the saturation patrols is to remove impaired drivers and reduce crashes so those attending the concert can have safe routes of travel to and from the concert. Deputies will have a zero

tolerance for traffic violations and no warnings will be issued during the aforementioned traffic blitz. The extra deputies are being funded through a grant from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office, which pays for all the overtime costs for deputies and some fuel and education costs.

Meanwhile, other fund revenues for the coming year calculate to $53.9 million and appropriations at $57.9 million. Thursday’s tax budget approval is based on county projections of estimated carry over, estimated revenue and anticipated expenditures for the coming year. After commissioners approved the 2013 tax budget, which included the Troy-Miami County Public Library, a copy of the document was filed with the Miami County Auditor’s Office. Two years ago, elected officials in county government made $4.2 million in general fund cuts, which the commissioners said enabled them to carry over surpluses in the last two years. Because of these cuts, “very few departments have

needed additional appropriations” in the last two years and “very few have requested increases for next year,” commissioners stated in a news release. Commissioners added in that release that they are “cautiously optimistic” with being able to balance the budget this and next year as they continue to monitor the financial status of the county. The county held a public hearing concerning the budget June 28 and Thursday’s adoption is the first step in a two-step budgetary process. At the end of the year the commission will adopt the 2013 appropriations. Commissioners adopted the tax budget in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code. They use it as a planning tool to help steer the county in the right direction leading up to next year’s appropriations.

Question: Did you attend Fourth of July fireworks?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP July 3 — Los Angeles Times on Syria and the Russia connection: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is putting a positive spin on a new peace plan for Syria agreed to over the weekend in Geneva by the Syria Action Group, which comprises the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council as well as Turkey and Arab representatives. We hope her optimism is justified, but Russia continues to send maddeningly mixed signals about whether it recognizes that the time has come for Syrian President Bashar Assad to step down. Already a humanitarian tragedy, the civil war in Syria now threatens to spill into international conflict. Recently, Turkey, a member of NATO, said it had scrambled fighter jets along its border after Syrian helicopters were detected close to Turkish territory. On June 22, Syria shot down a Turkish military plane that, according to Turkey, had returned to international skies after an accidental violation of Syrian airspace. On another front, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called on Syria to respect its border with Lebanon after Lebanese complaints of an incursion by the Syrian army. The agreement reached in Geneva does represent movement by Russia and China. … Even so, Clinton insisted, Russian diplomats had convinced her that “they have no continuing strategic interest in Assad remaining in power” and will press Assad to undertake a political transition. She added that the requirement for mutual consent guaranteed that Assad would have to step down because the opposition would never accept his participation in a transitional government. By the same logic, however, Assad would have little incentive to accept the Geneva plan in the first place unless Russia was willing to lean hard on his regime to the point of threatening to support international economic sanctions. We have supported the Obama administration’s unwillingness to intervene militarily in Syria or to arm the Syrian opposition, whose agenda is still unclear. But if the violence continues and a civil war threatens peace between Syria and its neighbors, the pressure for military action by the U.S. and its allies will increase. The Geneva agreement offers an alternative, but only if Clinton’s assessment of Russian intentions is correct. July 1 — New York Times on chaotic Pakistan: For years, Pakistan has ignored the Obama administration’s pleas to crack down on militants who cross from Pakistan to attack American forces in Afghanistan. Recent cross-border raids by Taliban militants who kill Pakistani soldiers should give Islamabad a reason to take that complaint more seriously. Recently, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, Pakistan’s army chief of staff, raised the issue in a meeting with Gen. John Allen, the commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan. He demanded that NATO go after the militants on the Afghan side of the border, according to Pakistani news reports. General Allen demanded that Pakistan act against Afghan militants given safe haven by its security services, especially the Haqqani network, which is responsible for some of the worst attacks in Kabul. Fighting extremists should be grounds for common cause, but there is no sign that Pakistan’s military leaders get it. … Some in Congress want to designate the Haqqanis as a terrorist organization. That would be unwise because such a move could lead to Pakistan’s being designated a terrorist state subject to sanctions and make cooperation even harder. The United States has no choice but to try to work with Pakistan, including the army, when it can. Officials hope the crisis in relations caused by the killing of Osama bin Laden and other events will pass. Meanwhile, they are holding the Pakistanis more at arm’s length and setting narrower goals; President Obama declined to hold an official meeting with President Asif Ali Zardari at the NATO summit meeting in Chicago in May. The United States has little choice but to continue drone attacks on militants in Pakistan. It has urged India to become more involved in Afghanistan and on Thursday, a conference was held in New Delhi to urge companies to invest there. That makes sense as long as India’s activities are transparent.

DOONESBURY

Summer storms bring unexpected windfalls There are three things that us Ohioans are experts on: college football, how to make a decent pie and the weather. So after last week’s storm, I have my first big summer storm story to tuck away in my “First Summer on the Farm” recollections. I was actually taking a summer nap last Friday evening when the winds whipped through the open windows of the back porch. Like most people, the derecho caught my son and I off guard. I’m terrified of storms. I once spent an hour in the cab of my truck, just 10 feet away from my apartment door during a storm because I was too scared to run inside. My rap sheet with the heavens at this time was a mile long and so I wasn’t going to take any chances or free shots of Mother Nature’s retaliation with those few steps. Since this was my first “Little House on the Prairie” storm experience, I tried to channel Ma Ingalls and her wisdom as I watched the winds rip through the fields.

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist “Oh Evan, if this were a tornado, we’d be down in the basement,” I said as I ignored the years of advice to keep away from the windows as he cowered under a blanket. I had heard the wind rip the barn door from its tracks. You could hear it clanging and banging against the barn, just waiting to free itself. There was no way in Hades I was going to run out there to try to save it. Water, metal and lighting are not a great combination, especially in my family. A few years ago, my own father got the zap of a lifetime closing a barn door during a storm: Yingsts versus barn doors in storms still stands zero to one and I was not about to make

that spread bigger. Dad and I spent all day Saturday hooking the barn door back up. I’m quite crafty with a pry bar and a 2-by-4. Like I do after any storm, I called to check on my beloved grandmother Norma Jean. I waited a few hours and left a message, but I knew exactly what she was doing the minute the winds died down: she’d be picking up every stick and leaf that littered her yard. Heck, by the time I finally contacted her, she had already been down to the cemetery to discard everything. She’s that efficient. I don’t mind picking up sticks, but I also don’t mind outsourcing the job to my son who is high on time and youth. Luckily, Evan, like any 8 year-old, has found that magical time in childhood: How to earn money. We don’t do allowances here in my home yet, but I do tip well for a job well done. So when I hinted to my dear son that if he helped and didn’t complain, he’d be compensated for his stick-gathering skills. He was game. He sang a few

Southern spirituals as he walked under the trees. When we were done, I asked how much he believed he should be rewarded for his efforts. “Um, two dollars?” Evan said. Deal! After I paid him for his work, I then tried to teach him the art of the negotiation and to not sell himself so short. We’ll see if that lesson sticks next time. After Sunday’s storm, Dad called me Monday to help them clean up at their place when a large chunk of an old tree landed on their roof, and he even offered to compensate me for my time and youth. And like any poor 30 year-old, I found that magical time in adulthood: How to earn money. After we ran the debris back to the burn pile, Dad asked for a dollar amount I thought would be fair for my efforts, and without thinking, I threw out a number. Deal! And I was quickly paid for youth and my time. Next time I won’t sell myself so short.

OBITUARIES

President Barack Obama talks with patrons of Ziggyís Pub and Restaurant in Amherst Thursday. Obama is on a two-day bus trip through Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Obama’s Ohio trip hits towns with big auto plants SANDUSKY (AP) — President Barack Obama’s bus trip on Thursday through northern Ohio took him to several areas with big auto plants as he defended his decision to rescue U.S. automakers. After a morning stop in the Toledo suburb of Maumee, Obama arrived at a park in Sandusky just blocks from Lake Erie. Hundreds of people packed the sidewalks in the downtown area, and school buses lined the park on all sides for security. Russ Dickman, of Sandusky, said the auto industry’s health has a big impact on everyone. But he said the economy isn’t where it used to be. “Not yet,” Dickman said while sitting on the steps of a merry-go-round museum in Sandusky’s quaint downtown. “I can see it getting there.” Terry Jones, a truck driver who hauls auto parts, was straining to hear Obama’s voice on a loudspeaker from two blocks away. He said the rebounding auto industry will help the president a great deal. “Ohio is a key state, and that’s most of your workers in autos,” he said. Earlier, hundreds of supporters, including several wearing United Auto

Workers union T-shirts, waited in Maumee for two hours for Obama’s arrival. “The best thing he ever could have done was save the auto industry,” said William Harris of Holland, a worker for a Chrysler engine plant in Detroit for 36 years before retiring. “It’s not back yet, but it’s come a long ways.” Former Gov. Ted Strickland, U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown warmed up the crowd in Maumee, all touting the auto industry’s revival. Brown applauded U.S. efforts to defend American auto jobs against what he called unfair Chinese trade practices. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, two potential vice presidential nominees, were sent out by Republicans to counter Obama in some of the same towns where the president was stopping. “We should all bet on the country, but we shouldn’t double down on Barack Obama,” Pawlenty said Thursday. “He’s had his chance. It’s not working. And we need to get it moving in a different direction.” U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, another potential Romney running mate, wrote a col-

umn in an Ohio newspaper Thursday accusing Obama of implementing policies that “make it harder, not easier, to create jobs here in Ohio and around the country.” People at Obama’s morning event agreed the auto industry is key for the area but had varying opinions on the political impact of the auto bailout. Thomas Hutton, a retired pharmacist from Toledo, said the auto industry is important but he didn’t think it would be a defining issue for the presidential campaign. “It’s a side issue,” he said. “The big ones are the economy and heath care.” Army retiree Glenn Shields said preserving jobs is good, but he thinks the auto companies should’ve recognized their problems sooner. He said the auto bailout will be an important issue in November. “It’s going to be a major factor,” said the 69-yearold. “The big issue will be the growing debt related to the bailout.” Linda Schneider of Maumee said she was unemployed four years ago before getting a human resources job with a Toledoarea auto parts company. “This is an auto region,”

she said. “We need (the industry) to survive.” After an ice cream social in Sandusky, Obama headed to the Cleveland suburb of Parma and an appearance at a park surrounded by shade trees. Several blocks down the street, more than 50 people gathered to await the presidential motorcade. Most were curious neighbors, and a few held anti-Obama signs, including one saying “Are you better off than you were 4 trillion dollars ago?” Mark Walker, 59, of Cleveland, a Catholic and self-described nominal Democrat, carried a sign reading “Religious Freedom Now.” He said he objected to the administration mandate that most employers provide health insurance that covers birth control, a move opposed by the church. Federal officials say the rule is critical to women’s health by helping them space out pregnancies. “I feel the administration, through its own edict, is establishing its own religion,” Walker said. Obama’s schedule today includes visiting an elementary school in Poland, near Youngstown. He’ll then speak at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh

effort to repair but which affect far fewer customers. “Where we might have gotten 5,000 customers on at a time when we did that, we’re getting to a stage where it’s getting 50 or 100 customers at a time,” Vegas said. “It takes the same level of effort but there’s a lot less customers that benefit from that.” Vegas said the utility began an aggressive treetrimming program in 2008 and has applied in its latest rate proposal to continue it. But that effort only involves trees in the utility’s rightof-way and can’t do anything about trees blown onto lines from outside those right-of-way areas. The overnight storm in Columbus downed power lines along Interstate 670, temporarily shutting down a section of the highway that links downtown Columbus with the city’s main airport. The roadway on the city’s east side closed for several hours Thursday but reopened by morning rush hour. Police cars had blocked ramps to the highway while utility crews cleared the downed lines. Meanwhile, American Electric Power had about 143,000 customers without electricity, mostly in central and southeast Ohio. Many of those people have been without power since Friday.

SANDRA J. BLAMER BUCYRUS — Sandra J. Blamer, 68, of Bucyrus, passed away at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 4, 2012, at home. Sandra was born Sept. 22, 1943, in BLAMER Galion, to the late Harold A. Manring Sr. and Winifred (Reeder) Manring, who survives in Bucyrus. She was married Oct. 24, 1989, to Bruce Blamer, who preceded her in death Dec. 28, 2001. In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by grandson, Conner Wilson. Sandra is survived by children, John (Kristie) Wilson of Troy, Rick (Melinda) Wilson of Columbus, Dee Raridon of Springfield, Mo.; grandchildren, Beth, Robert, Gabrielle and Kindred Wilson, Lila and Charlie Raridon; father of her children, Jack Wilson of Troy; stepchildren, Damon and Scott Blamer; brother, Harold Manring Jr.; and sister, Pat Seibert, both of Bucyrus; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and

cousins. Sandra retired from the former 2nd National Bank in Bucyrus where she began working following high school. She continued to work in Food Service for Bucyrus City Schools. She was a Bucyrus High School graduate in 1961 and was very active with the class reunion committee. Sandra was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Amvets Post 27 Auxiliary, Women of the Moose, and she was active in her swim group at the YMCA. Sandy enjoyed eating out each month with her friends she worked with at the bank and school. Funeral services will be Monday at 11 a.m. in the Munz-Pirnstill Funeral Home. Burial will follow in Oakwood Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 1-3 and 5-7 p.m. on Sunday. Memorials may be made to Heartland Hospice or the donor’s choice through the funeral home and expressions of sympathy can be left at munzpirnstill.com.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The site of the Ohio State Fair is changing lighting in more than 30 buildings to use more efficient bulbs that save energy and money. The ongoing project to replace tens of thousands of bulbs at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus began more than a year ago. The Columbus Dispatch reports the facilities kept fluorescent lighting but used newer bulbs to replace a type often found in schools and home basements. The center’s assistant general manager says it makes for brighter, whiter lighting and could cut bulb energy use in half.

more complicated restoration effort,” Vegas said. About 143,000 customers were without power statewide Thursday, almost all of them AEP-Ohio customers and most in the Newark area in central Ohio and Athens area in southeast Ohio. Duke Energy and Dayton Power & Light were down to just a handful of outages. Also Thursday, Dayton Power & Light said dead and dying ash trees destroyed by the emerald ash borer beetle were a big factor in the number of outages. Ash trees can grow to be 60 feet tall and so can fall on power lines even if they stand the required 10 feet away, the utility said. The utility blamed diseased, dying and dead trees for a significant amount of the power disruptions, with the primary danger posed by ash trees. About 175,000 of the utility’s half-million customers were without power at the height of Friday’s storm damage. Vegas likened AEPOhio’s repair efforts to a tree, noting that the system’s trunk and branches — large circuits affecting thousands of customers — have now been fixed. That leaves the smaller circuits, the branches and twigs, which still require a lot of

AEP president: Ohio storm surpassed damage from Ike COLUMBUS (AP) — The storms that left hundreds of thousands of Ohio residents without power over the past week have far surpassed the damage caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ike four years ago, the president of American Electric Power of Ohio said Thursday. His comments were underscored by a third round of thunderstorms that knocked power out to 21,000 central Ohio customers, some of whom had previously lost power and had it restored. The recent storms which included a system that swept through last Friday, a second strong storm Sunday afternoon and an overnight storm early Thursday caused more outages and damaged more electrical poles and transmission lines than Ike did in September 2008, said AEP-Ohio president and chief executive officer Pablo Vegas. Restoring power this time is more complicated because of the ongoing heat wave with temperatures hitting 100 degrees, compared with relatively mild temperatures in the 70s after Hurricane Ike, Vegas said. Three utility workers have already been hospitalized for heat exhaustion, he said. “By all measure this is a

AP MOVIE REVIEWS SAVAGES: Oliver Stone’s latest is a lurid, pulpy film noir with a sexy, sometimes dreamlike California beach vibe. It’s an intriguing contrast, this mixing of a genre and an aesthetic that may not necessarily sound like they’d blend well together, but the result is the most explosively poppy film Stone has made in a long time. “Savages” is darkly funny and stylishly violent but never reaches the overwhelming level of audiovisual assault of, say, “Natural Born Killers,” for example. Directing from a script he co-wrote with Shane Salerno and Don Winslow (based on Winslow’s novel), Stone draws us into this glamorous yet seedy world and draws strong performances from his eclectic ensemble cast. Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson co-star as best friends and business partners Chon and Ben, young surfer-dude bad-asses who got rich quick growing a particularly strong strain of pot. They live in a spectacular Laguna Beach home with endless views of the Pacific Ocean and happily share the affections of their mutual girlfriend, the beautiful, blonde O (Blake Lively). Everything’s going great until the leader of a Mexican cartel, the regal but ruthless Elena (a fantastic, scenery-chewing Salma Hayek) tries to expand her territory by taking over their business. Much brutal bloodshed ensues. John Travolta, Benicio Del Toro, Demian Bechir and Emile Hirsch are among the players with something at stake in this increasingly deadly game. R for strong brutal and grisly violence, some graphic sexuality, nudity, drug use and language throughout. 129 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic KATY PERRY: PARTY OF ME: This Katy Perry documentary and its forerunner, “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never,” are mesmerizing pieces of pop propaganda. Both 3-D concert films give a reality TV-style portrait of a young star, scrubbed clean, at the pinnacle of pop: touring sold-out arenas while making Herculean sacrifices, always finding time for their fans and goofing around with their entourages of stylists and assistants. They’re unabashedly commercial movies made about unabashedly commercial enterprises. And yet they’re kind of fascinating. That’s because “Part of Me” is as good a document you’re likely to find of modern pop stardom: how it’s packaged, how it’s sold and what kind of power it holds over screaming ‘tween girls. The film, directed by reality show veterans Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz (the pair produced “Never Say Never,”) follows Perry’s 2011 California Dreams world tour. The blue-haired, dinner-plate eyed 27-year-old makes for a compelling character, but the film doesn’t succeed as a full portrait. A less PG-friendly, more complicated version of the star surely exists off-screen. It must. PG for some suggestive content, language, thematic elements and brief smoking. 97 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. — Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer TAKE THIS WALTZ: Here’s how masterfully Sarah Polley manipulates tone in just her second film as writer and director: She takes the Buggles’ peppy ’80s anthem “Video Killed the Radio Star,” best known as the video that launched MTV, and finds unexpected poignancy in it. Following Polley’s beautiful 2006 debut “Away From Her,” ”Take This Waltz” further establishes the young Canadian as an exciting filmmaker to watch, one with a maturity beyond her years. She takes risks, isn’t afraid to explore raw emotions and is willing to let her characters make mistakes that could make them unlikable. At the same time, Polley (who’s been an actress herself) never judges them. Instead, she depicts the giddy, fleeting and illusory nature of new love, and lets us get caught up in it, too. Michelle Williams gives the kind of subtle, complex performance we’ve come to expect from her as Margot, a freelance writer living in Toronto with her husband of five years, Lou (Seth Rogen, surprisingly good in a more low-key, dramatic role), a cook who spends his days in the kitchen working on chicken recipes. While out of town for an assignment, Margot meets Daniel (Luke Kirby). Their chemistry is immediate but it becomes even more obvious once they find they’re seated together on the flight home. Then as they share a cab from the airport, it turns out they just happen to live across the street from each other. As Margot and Daniel find reasons to bump into each other, the flirtation and tension steadily build. R for language, some strong sexual content and graphic nudity. 116 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

San Diego fireworks malfunction SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Fourth of July fireworks show went off with a bang over San Diego Bay. Too big a bang. The Big Bay Boom show that was supposed to wow crowds for 20 minutes lasted only about 20 seconds after a computer mishap caused multiple bulb-shaped explosions on the bay, lighting the night sky over downtown San Diego and filling the air with deafening booms. The show’s producer blamed a “technical glitch” Thursday, saying an error in its computer system caused tens of thousands of fireworks on four barges to go off simultaneously with a single command. “Thank goodness no one was injured. Precautions all worked 100 percent,” said August Santore, partowner of Garden State Fireworks. Garden State Fireworks, based in Millington, N.J., apologized and vowed to determine precisely what went wrong. The 122-year-old company produced hundreds of other shows across the country Wednesday night. Santore said the company felt terrible, but the mood was unforgiving among many of the hundreds of thousands of people who witnessed the explosions before they could get off their first “ooh” or “ah.” The crowd stood in quiet disbelief, with many wondering what just happened. Word went out on the radio about 20 minutes later that the show was over. Crowds of people had waited hours. The San Diego Trolley was packed, hotel rooms facing the bay were sold out, and a patriotic score was set to be simulcast on a local radio station. The show was set to stream live on the Web. Instead, the fireworks flop became a hit online by Thursday afternoon, receiving more than 600,000 views on YouTube. Spectators complained it was not immediately clear the show was over. Sponsors contributed about $380,000 to host the show, said Sandy Purdon, owner of a bay marina and the chief organizer. The Port of San Diego contributed $145,000 as title sponsor, with hotels and restaurants giving much of the rest.

In this photo provided by Ben Baller, yachts are illuminated in the foreground as a malfunction causes the entire Fourth of July fireworks show to go off all at once over San Diego Bay near Coronado Island in San Diego Wednesday. The port district gave an additional $50,000 worth of services, including traffic control, portable toilets and cleanup. The fireworks cost $125,000 and the barges and tugs cost $45,000, Purdon said. After permits, publicity, buses and other costs, there was about $50,000 left, which was earmarked to help young military families though the San Diego Armed Services YMCA. The port district said in a statement that it was “very disappointed” in what it described as an apparent technical error. It was unclear if anyone will get reimbursed. Purdon, who witnessed the explosions from his home with his

sponsors, said he had discussed with Garden State Fireworks the possibility that it foots the bill for next year’s Fourth of July show. Garden State Fireworks has staged pyrotechnic displays for the 1988 Winter Olympics, the Statue of Liberty Bicentennial Celebration and New Year’s Eve in Central Park in New York. “We are a good strong company, and we rely on technology. We’ll take the ridicule as long as no one was injured,” Santore said. The debacle will likely fuel a longrunning controversy in San Diego about damage that fireworks displays inflict on marine life.

Essence fest kicks off in New Orleans Nichol, Square Off and New Orleans’ own The Roots of Music. Thursday marks the first of four nights of music that will include performances throughout the weekend by veteran artists Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Ledisi, Charlie Wilson, Fantasia, Chaka Khan, Trey Songz and D’Angelo, who last month gave his first live performance in the United States in 12 years at Bonnaroo. R&B singer-songwriter Vivian Green said she’s looking forward to her second opportunity to perform at the festival. Green performs Friday night while fellow R&B singer Stephanie Mills is slated to deliver two shows — one Friday night and another Saturday. “This is a really big deal,” said Green, who will entertain fans with her hits including “Emotional Rollercoaster” and “Gotta Go Gotta Leave (Tired).” “It’s the biggest black music festival in the United States. What an amazing platform to have the chance at that type of exposure,” she said. “A

lot of our fans are from small venues that we as artists don’t always get to and this event allows us to reach them because the audience includes people from all over.” Green said the festival exudes “great energy.” “There’s always a crowd that gives out a lot of love,” she said. Green’s next project is set for release in September, and the first single from that album will hit the airwaves two weeks after the festival. Green said she had no plans to give fans an early preview but would sing her current single, “Still Here,” a collaboration with Brian Culbertson. “I don’t want to bombard fans with songs they’ve never heard,” she said. “So I’ll play their favorites for them.” In addition to the music, education will be at the forefront of discussions throughout the weekend because many Essence readers have said they feel the demands on young people have become “more sophisticated” in the areas of science and technology, said Essence Communications President Michelle Ebanks.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Essence Music Festival kicked off Thursday with events geared for the young. Organizers planned to hold talks at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on crime, education and other issues affecting today’s youth as a prelude to teen musical acts scheduled to hit the Superdome stage later in the evening. Essence is one of the premiere music festivals celebrating black culture and music. It’s been held every Independence Day weekend since its inception in 1995, when it marked the 25th anniversary of Essence magazine. As in years past, the festival tackles themes of importance to African Americans, such as education and the upcoming presidential election. But above all, Essence is a celebration of music. Opening day was to be all about recognizing newcomers to the music scene, including the Disney Channel’s Coco Jones, rapper Diggy Simmons, the OMG Girlz, Roshon Fegan, Katlyn

For the little boy’s sake, try to make the best of the situation

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

Dear Annie: My daughter and her husband moved in with us last year in order to save money and someday raise a family. We enjoy having them here. The issue is my son-in-law's 5year-old boy from his previous marriage. The custody arrangement states that he is entitled to have the child for a month during the summer for extended visitation. I foresee this being a big adjustment for my husband and me. It's not that we don't like the child, but we don't feel all that attached to him. Also, we are done raising our children and are not crazy about the thought of having a toddler for a month. This boy needs to be entertained constantly, and we just don't have the energy. My daughter and her husband did not address this with us before they moved in. I adore our son-in-law and want them to treat our house as their home. But is it wrong of me to feel inconvenienced? How can I make it clear that I do not want to be a babysitter without hurting my son-in-law's feelings? — Feeling Inconvenienced Dear Inconvenienced: We urge you to accept this 5-year-old boy and make him part of your family. It isn't his fault that his parents are not together, and he will look to you to be his grandparents if you permit it. We know it's difficult to have little children underfoot, but someday your daughter may have kids, and you will be faced with this same problem. If you don't want to baby-sit, it's OK to say you don't have the energy for that. But you risk alienating your sonin-law if you reject his child. Please make the best of it for the month. Your daughter will be so grateful. Dear Annie: This weekend I was given two concert tickets that cost $32 apiece. I invited a friend to attend with me. The event was an hour away, and we used her car to get there. On the way, we stopped at a restaurant for lunch. When we received the check, she said, "I'm going to let you pay for this since your tickets didn't cost you anything and I paid for the gas." Annie, the fuel bill was less than $10. Still, to keep the peace, I paid the restaurant bill and the tip. Have you ever heard of this before? It was a new one for me. — Orlando, Fla. Dear Orlando: The tickets may have been free, but you chose to invite this particular person when you could have given her ticket to someone else. Since she paid for the gas, however, a more equitable arrangement would have been to split the cost of the lunch. Dear Annie: My situation was similar to that of "Need Another Opinion," whose wife wants to take in her specialneeds sister. After two years of marriage, my mother-in-law had a stroke, and my husband moved her in with us. It was impossible from the start, and I knew we'd never be able to have kids if this kept up. After a year, I said "her or me," and he put her in a home. Two years later, when our daughter was a toddler, my mother-in-law decided she didn't like the place and insisted on moving back in with us. I begged, pleaded, shrieked, but he wouldn't budge. She moved in and made life impossible. Within six months, I'd had enough and I left him. That was eight years ago. My ex is now on public assistance because the cost of caring for his mother and paying child support is too much for him. He hasn't seen his daughter in three years because he's too busy with Mom. I remarried, and my daughter loves her stepfather. Under no circumstances should "Need" be forced to take the sister into his home. If his wife wants to spend her life as a caregiver, that's up to her. — N.Y. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Readers chime in with a key to recycling Dear Readers: Many of you wrote in about a recent column concerning recycling old keys. Here is what some of you said: • I once read about a church that needed funds for some project. They formed a “key club.” To join, you had to donate your old keys. They sold them to a scrap-metal business and earned the funds they needed. — Carol in Ohio • The locksmith that I use recycles both the old locks and the keys. — Barbara, via email • Give them to a preschool or kindergarten teacher. They are great for counting, pattern-

Hints from Heloise Columnist ing, grouping, comparing — the list goes on and on. — Penny in Ohio • I used them to recognize staff where I work. I used a small label to put each name on a key, then tied the keys with narrow ribbon to a treebranch centerpiece labeled “Keys to Our Success” for a

staff-recognition party. — Sondra, via email Thanks for all the great ideas, and keep them coming! If you have other “key” hints, I’d love to hear more! — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: While traveling, I couldn’t keep the shades shut in the hotel room. I finally used the pants hanger in the closet to clip the shades closed. Also, after my postcards to friends arrived smeared, I placed clear packing tape over the message portion after I finished writing — clean and legible! Thanks for your great col-

umn in the Abilene ReporterNews. — Jaide in Abilene, Texas Very inventive hints! — Heloise GOOD NIGHT’S REST Dear Heloise: We did not get a headboard when we purchased our bedroom furniture set. I decided to make my own. I had my husband cut some wood to size for me. I purchased some inexpensive padding and a complementary fabric that I liked. I covered the wood in the padding and then stapled the fabric around it. It turned out great, and the best part is that I made it myself. — Janice in Hawaii

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, July 7, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is an excellent day to do some quiet background research if you’re interested in this. It’s also a good day for self-evaluation. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A powerful friend in a group setting might persuade you to change your mind about something. Make sure you make your own decision, as opposed to pleasing someone else. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Conversations with authority figures could change your relationship with them today. You want to be able to talk to bosses on a better footing in the future. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re attracted to the study of anything that will show you how to improve your life today. This could range from practical applications to studies in religion. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might see better uses for something that you own jointly with others today. Or perhaps you see better ways to use the wealth of others to make general improvements. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) If you sit down with partners and close friends today, you will be pleased if you can discuss ways to improve the relationship. You have a desire to improve everything around you today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) What can you do to improve your health? Generally, one can stop doing harmful things on one hand, and on the other hand, introduce more healthy habits. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Romantic relationships are powerful today. This is why you might have a heart-to-heart discussion with your main squeeze about the state of the relationship in general. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Focus on recycling, garbage areas, plumbing and laundry at home today. If you look around you, you’ll see ways to improve things. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because you’re so convincing today, this is a great day for those in sales, marketing, teaching, acting and writing, or even those who drive for a living. You’ll get your meaning across! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might see new ways of earning money today. You also might be concerned with better ways of taking care of what you already own. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Take a realistic look in the mirror today, and ask yourself what you can do to improve your image in the world. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. YOU BORN TODAY Truth is important to you. You search for it and want it to be revealed. This is also why you are candid and open with others. Because of this, you might even be viewed as eccentric or unusual. You have a wonderful imagination, and at times seem to be unrealistic. Nevertheless, you are motivated! In the year ahead, you begin a fresh, new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of: Ringo Starr, musician; Jorja Fox, actress; Vonda Shepard, singer.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, July 6, the 188th day of 2012. There are 178 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 6, 1962, Nobel Prize-winning American author William Faulkner, one of the giants of Southern literature, died in Byhalia, Miss., at age 64. On this date: • In 1535, St. Thomas More was executed in England for high treason.

• In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga. • In 1885, French scientist Louis Pasteur tested an antirabies vaccine on 9-year-old Joseph Meister, who had been bitten by an infected dog the boy did not develop rabies. • In 1917, during World War I, Arab forces led by T.E. Lawrence and Auda Abu Tayi captured the port of Aqaba (AH’-kah-buh) from the Turks.

• In 1933, the first All-Star baseball game was played at Chicago’s Comiskey Park the American League defeated the National League, 4-2. • Today’s Birthdays: Former first lady Nancy Reagan is 91. Actor William Schallert is 90. Singer-actress Della Reese is 81. The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, Tenzin Gyatso, is 77. Actor Ned Beatty is 75. Singer Gene Chandler is 72. Country singer Jeannie Seely is 72. Actor Burt Ward is 67.

U.S. hiring outlook improves, but economy is still weak WASHINGTON (AP) — The outlook for the U.S. job market brightened a little Thursday after the government said fewer people applied for unemployment benefits last week and surveys of private companies showed hiring increased in June. The economy is still far from healthy. U.S. service companies grew more slowly last month. Retail sales figures were disappointing. And central banks in Europe and China cut their interest rates, an indication that they expect weaker growth ahead. But despite all the gloom, American factories and service firms kept hiring in June. Economists say that suggests many companies are less worried that the spring slump will endure. “It is beginning to look like the labor market is not nearly as weak as feared,” Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors, said in a note to clients. Wall Street was mixed in light of the latest economic reports. Stocks fell early but recovered much of their losses by midday. Bad news from Europe was offset by higher expecta-

tions for June job growth, which the government will report on Friday. The economy added an average of just 73,000 jobs a month in April and May. That’s much lower than the 226,000 a month that were added in the first three months of the year. And it’s far too low to reduce the unemployment rate, which rose to 8.2 percent in May. Before Thursday, most economists didn’t expect much change from that pace. They forecast that employers added 90,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate didn’t change, according to a survey by Factset. But several sounded slightly more optimistic after seeing a slate of better data. Weekly unemployment benefit applications dropped by 14,000 to a seasonally adjusted 374,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s the fewest since the week of May 19. Payroll provider ADP said businesses added 176,000 jobs last month. That’s better than the revised total of 136,000 jobs it reported for May and, if sustained, would be enough to lower the unemployment rate.

Goldman Sachs responded to the better data by raising its forecast to a gain of 125,000 jobs last month, up from its initial prediction of 75,000. Brian Bethune, chief economist for Alpha Economic Foresights LLC, said he expects job growth of 120,000 to 140,000. But he warned that even those figures were too weak to bring down unemployment. Economists typically say it takes at least 125,000 new jobs each month to absorb population growth. “Looking forward, slow growth is expected,” said Erik Johnson, US economist, IHS Global Insight. “But the U.S. economy should avoid recession.” A report on U.S. service companies, which employ 90 percent of workers in the economy, illustrated that point. The Institute for Supply Management said its index of non-manufacturing sector growth fell last month to 52.1. That’s down from 53.7 in May and the lowest reading since January 2010. Still, any reading above 50 signals growth. The sector has been growing since December 2009.

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 and eventually fake 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.

Williams returns to the finals Serves up Wimbledon record 24 aces in win WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Serena Williams wins with so much more than serving, of course. Her groundstrokes are intimidating. Her superb speed and anticipation fuel unparalleled court-covering defense. Her returns are outstanding, too. When that serve is on-target, though, it sure is something special, quite possibly the greatest in the history of women’s tennis. Lashing a tournament-record 24 aces at up to 120 mph, and doing plenty of other things well, too, four-time Wimbledon champion Williams overpowered No. 2seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 6-3, 7-6 (6) Thursday to reach her seventh final at the All England Club. “Isn’t that something?” said Williams’ father, Richard, after watching his daughter win on Centre Court. “She was really trying, you know? Maybe she was trying to impress the neighbors back home.”

Cavaliers sign both top picks CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed first-round draft picks Dion Waiters and Tyler Zeller to their rookie contracts. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately known. The Cavs selected Waiters, a 6foot-4 shooting guard from Syracuse, with the No. 4 overall pick last week. The choice surprised many experts and disappointed some Cleveland fans who had hoped the team would take Harrison Barnes or Thomas Robinson.

Indians hit 3 homers, edge Rays, 3-1 CLEVELAND (AP) — Josh Tomlin pitched seven stellar innings and Shin-Soo Choo, Michael Brantley and Travis Hafner homered, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night. Tomlin (5-5) limited the Rays to one run and two hits, easily the right-hander’s best outing since April. Choo led off the first with a homer off Jeremy Hellickson (45), Brantley connected in the second and Travis Hafner homered in the eighth off Jake McGee. Vinnie Pestano worked the eighth and All-Star closer Chris Perez finished up for his 24th save all in a row since blowing one on opening day. The Rays have lost eight of 10, fell to 4-13 against the AL Central and have scored more than four runs once in the last 11 games. Luke Scott went 0 for 3 and set the Rays’ record by going 39 straight at-bats without a hit. Hafner gave Cleveland a big insurance run in the eighth, connecting off McGee. It was only Hafner’s second game back after missing a month following surgery on his right knee. His towering homer into the right-field seats was his seventh this season and first since May 23. The Indians have been waiting for Tomlin to regain his consistency since missing three weeks with a wrist injury. He pounded the

Ben Zobrist hit a drive to right that pushed Choo up to the wall before he made a staggering, backpedalling catch. Scott exemplifies Tampa’s offensive woes. Manager Joe Maddon played Scott, the team’s usual designated hitter, in the field for the first time this season, hoping a change of scenery would shake him out of his prolonged slump. However, Scott stayed hitless since June 1 by grounding out, fouling out and flying out to Choo before being lifted. Scott broke the previous club record of 37 consecutive hitless at-bats held by Jose Cruz Jr. (2004), and he’s closing on the major league record of 46 set last year by Eugenio Velez. Choo was batting just .235 when manager Manny Acta moved him to the top of the order on May 14, and the outfielder has been on a hitting tear ever since. He’s hitting .327 (64 of 196) with eight homers, 20 RBIs and 42 runs in 47 starts in the leadoff spot. He has raised his average 60 points to .295. He led off the first with his ninth homer, and fourth in the No. 1 slot, driving a 2-0 pitch from Hellickson over the wall in right field. Brantley made it 2-0 in the second with his third homer and second in two days. With one out, Brantley turned on a fastball by Hellickson, sending just over the right-field wall.

NFLPA sues, calls Goodell ‘biased’ in bounty case NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The NFL Players Association filed a lawsuit against the NFL on behalf of three players suspended in connection with the bounty investigation, calling Commissioner Roger Goodell “incurably and evidently biased.” The lawsuit, filed in federal court in New Orleans on Thursday, said Goodell violated the labor agreement by showing he had determined Will Smith, Anthony Hargrove and Scott Fujita participated in a bounty system before serving as an arbitrator at their hearing.

The NFL said the action is an “improper attempt to litigate” and said there is “no basis for asking a federal court to put its judgment in place of the procedures agreed upon with the NFLPA in collective bargaining.” “These procedures have been in place, and have served the game and players well, for many decades,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email to The Associated Press. The lawsuit asks a judge to set aside earlier arbitration rulings and order a new arbitrator to preside over the matter. The suit comes

two days after Goodell denied appeals by four players. The other player, Jonathan Vilma, has sued the NFL and Goodell separately. Vilma is suspended for a season, Hargrove for eight games, Smith four and Fujita three. “A seminal question for this court is whether the NFL collective bargaining agreement … granted the commissioner, when serving as an arbitrator, the authority to disregard the essence of the parties’ agreement, to conduct proceedings that are fundamentally unfair, and to act with evident bias

and without jurisdiction,” the lawsuit states. “The answer, under governing case law, is clearly ‘no.’” In the lawsuit, the players, as they have in the past, “categorically” deny participating in any kind of “bounty” program designed to injure fellow players, adding the NFLPA would never defend such behavior. “The investigation and arbitration process that the Commissioner’s public relations machinery touted as ‘thorough and fair’ has, in reality, been a sham,” the lawsuit stated. The lawsuit said the NFL violated the labor

agreement by refusing to provide the players with access to “critical documents or witnesses, or anything resembling the fairness mandated by the CBA and governing industrial due process law.” The suit also states that the players were subject to arbitration before an arbiter in Goodell, who had “launched a public campaign defending the punishments he intended to arbitrate, rendering him incurably and evidently biased.” The lawsuit also reiterates a claim that the CBA requires many of the “payfor-performance” conduct

outlined in the NFL’s bounty investigation to be handled by a system arbitrator and not the commissioner, who has “improperly usurped” control over that process. The NFL has argued that the bounty matter falls under conduct detrimental to the league, which the commissioner has authority to punish. Two arbitration rulings so far have ruled in the NFL’s favor on that matter, but the NFLPA lawsuit says the NFL’s handling of the bounty matter amounts to a “rare case” in which the arbitrator’s rulings should be set aside.

Serena Williams plays a shot to Victoria Azarenka of Belarus during a semifinals match Thursday at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, England.

Wimbledon ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 On Saturday, the 30year-old Williams will try to become the first woman at least that age to win a major tournament since Martina Navratilova, who was 33 when she won Wimbledon in 1990. “The older I get, the better I serve, I feel,” Williams said. “I don’t know how it got better. I really don’t know. It’s not like I go home and I work on baskets and baskets of serves. Maybe it’s a natural shot for me.” Her next opponent will be No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who reached her first Grand Slam final at age 23 by playing steady as can be during a 6-3, 6-4 victory over No. 8 Angelique Kerber of Germany. “After a couple of games, I just relaxed a little bit,” said Radwanska, who made only six unforced errors, one in the second set. “I was really focusing on every point.” Williams won 20 of her 24 service points in the first set, including 17 in a row during one stretch. She didn’t double-fault once, a real accomplishment, given how often she went for corners and lines. She finished with a 45-14 edge in total winners. “I honestly didn’t feel great on my serve today. I really didn’t,” said Williams, who went back on court later Thursday with older sister Venus to reach the doubles semifinals. “I thought my serve was off, and apparently clearly it wasn’t, so maybe I should be off a little more.” And this performance didn’t come against a slouch: Azarenka won the Australian Open in January as part of a 26-0 start to this season, was playing in her third semifinal in the past five major tournaments, and would have returned to No. 1 in the rankings if she had managed to beat Williams. That was not about to happen. Not on this afternoon. Not the way Williams is playing, five weeks after a stunning exit at the French Open, her only first-round loss in 48 Grand Slam appearances. “I’ve been working so hard,” the sixth-seeded American said, “and I really, I really wanted it.” She’s now one win away from a fifth Wimbledon championship, adding to those in 2002-03 and 200910, and 14th Grand Slam singles trophy overall but first in two years. For her, that’s a long gap. Less than a week after her 2010 title,

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. “Serena is blessed to be here,” her dad said. The hardest part of Radwanska’s day probably came during the postmatch news conference, which was cut short after she was overcome by a coughing fit. She appeared to be OK. Never before even a semifinalist at any Grand Slam tournament, Radwanska is the first Polish woman to make it to a major title match since Jadwiga Jedrzejowska lost three finals in the 1930s. “I don’t really have anything to lose, so just going to try my best,” said Radwanska, the junior champion at Wimbledon in 2005, and the French Open in 2006. Radwanska, whose younger sister Ursula is ranked 54th, will rise to No. 1 for the first time if she wins Saturday. “If she will play like today,” Kerber said, “I think she has a good chance.” Williams won their two previous encounters in straight sets, but they haven’t played each other since a quarterfinal four years ago at Wimbledon. “She’s going to get every ball back,” Williams said, “so I’ve got to look forward to that.” It’ll be a substantial contrast in styles: Williams’ outand-out power against Radwanska’s precision. “I have every reason to believe she’ll win,” Richard Williams said about his daughter. There’s no doubt who is favored, especially if Williams keeps serving the way she has been. The 24 aces that eluded the considerable wing span of the 6-foot Azarenka broke the tournament record of 23 in a match that Williams herself set last week in a three-set, third-round victory over 25th-seeded Zheng Jie. That, in turn, eclipsed the old Wimbledon mark of 20 aces held by guess who? Williams. She’s also up to 81 aces through six matches, eight shy of the tournament record she set in 2010. “When she was little, I wanted her to throw like a boy. I bought her a football. And her serve is just throwing,” Richard Williams said. “That’s why the serve is so devastating.”

S A I N T- Q U E N T I N , France (AP) — In yet another crash-marred finish, Andre Greipel of Germany led a frenzied bunch sprint to win the fifth stage of the Tour de France on Thursday for his second straight stage victory. Fabian Cancellara retained the overall leader’s yellow jersey for a sixth straight day after the mostly flat 122-mile trek from Rouen to Saint-Quentin almost tailor-made for sprinters except for a slight uphill near the end. But the Tour’s doping demons returned to cast a shadow. A Dutch newspaper report said former teammates of Lance Armstrong including five involved in this year’s race cut a deal with U.S. antidoping officials for their testimony in a case against the seven-time Tour champion. As usual, the Tour riders tried to keep their focus on the race. Citing “well-informed sources,” the newspaper said the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has given sixmonth bans to former Armstrong teammates Jonathan Vaughters, George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, David Zabriskie and Christian Vande Velde. Vaughters, now a team director at the GarminSharp team, called the report “completely untrue.” The four riders all declined to comment, though Hincapie said his thoughts were with Armstrong. “I’m sad he is going through this,” said Hincapie, the only rider to have been on all of Armstrong’s Tour-winning teams. “He’s done so many things for the sport. His accomplishments are incredible.”

Andre Greipel crosses the finish line ahead of Mark Cavendish of Britain, left, and Matthew Harley Gross of Australia, right, to win the fifth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 196.5 kilometers (122 miles) with start in Rouen and finish on Thursday in Saint-Quentin, France. Cancellara said the case wasn’t discussed in the pack. “For cycling this is not good, that’s for sure,” he said. “That makes me sad. But on the other hand, we have to deal with that and I hope it’s not something that is going to take three or four years like … in other cases. “That is my biggest concern: that this is going to shut down fast.” The barreling pack Thursday overtook three breakaway riders with barely 110 yards left, and Greipel wheeled out in front a split-second ahead of Matt Goss of Australia, who was second, and Juan Jose Haedo of Argentina, who took third. Britain’s Mark Cavendish was fifth. Like in Greipel’s sprintfinish victory a day before, a late crash tarnished the stage, and he counted himself “lucky” to avoid a spill two days in a row. “Somehow I stayed on my bike,” said Greipel, who

turns 30 on July 16. “It was quite a tough finish there … and it was also luck on our part to catch the breakaway.” The top standings didn’t change: Bradley Wiggins, the leader of Cavendish’s Team Sky, was second overall, seven seconds behind the Swiss leader. Defending champion Cadel Evans of Australia was 17 seconds off the pace in seventh. By holding the lead, Cancellara earned the right to wear the coveted yellow jersey for the 27th time in his career, a record for a rider who has never won the Tour. “When you make history in this kind of way at the Tour, it’s more special,” said Cancellara, a time-trial specialist and the only man to don the yellow this year after winning Saturday’s prologue. As sprinters jockeyed for position with just under two miles left, American Tyler Farrar tumbled in the mid-

dle of the pack. But his bike kept going and brought down at least two other riders, including Peter Sagan of Slovakia, the winner of the first and third stages. Farrar straggled across the line later alone, blood streaming down his right elbow and right knee. He then stormed into the bus of the Argos-Shimano team, looking for its sprinter, Tom Veelers. Farrar angrily shouted, “You don’t do that to someone!” The race got its first minor dose of rain Thursday, and another dropout: Germany’s Marcel Kittel, who has endured gastric troubles for the last few days, pulled out to reduce the field to 194 riders. Today’s sixth stage a 128-mile jaunt from Epernay in Champagne country to Metz offers the last leg in the northern flats this week to favor sprinters, before a steep uphill finish on Saturday.

Armstrong: Immunity report reveals ‘vendetta’ ROUEN, France (AP) — Lance Armstrong accused U.S Anti-Doping Agency chief executive Travis Tygart on Thursday of waging a “vendetta” against him following reports five former teammates have received reduced suspensions after admitting to doping in return for testifying against the seventime Tour de France champion. “So let me get this straight … come in and tell them exactly what they wanted to hear and you get complete immunity AND anonymity? I never got that offer,” Armstrong wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “This isn’t about Tygart wanting to clean up cycling rather it’s just a plain ol’ selective prosecution that reeks of vendetta.” The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported that Armstrong’s former teammates have been given six-month bans that

begin in late September. Citing “well-informed sources,” the paper identified them as Jonathan Vaughters, George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, David Zabriskie and Christian Vande Velde. Vaughters, currently a team director at GarminSharp’s cycling team, said at the start of Thursday’s fifth stage of the Tour that the report is “completely untrue.” GarminSharp’s parent company, Slipstream, later supported Vaughters’ denial in a statement. “We can confirm that our Tour team is entirely focused on the Tour and media reports of suspensions are untrue,” the company said. USADA wouldn’t confirm the De Telegraaf report but released a statement warning that those identified could be subject to “unnecessary scrutiny, threats and intimidation.” “Any attempt to cir-

cumvent the proper procedures in order to bully or silence people who may or may not be witnesses cannot be tolerated,” the statement said. Vande Velde and Zabriskie are part of the Garmin team. Leipheimer, who rides for Omega PharmaQuickStep, said: “I’m just here to ride the Tour de France, and so far I’m still in the hunt for the general classification. I can’t say anything.” Hincapie, who rides for BMC, said he just wants to help Cadel Evans keep his Tour title. Hincapie said he hasn’t spoken to Armstrong recently. “I’m sad he is going through this,” he said. “He’s done so many things for the sport. His accomplishments are incredible.” BMC team manager Jim Ochowicz denied knowledge of the bans. “We’ve not received any information from any authority about this issue

at all,” he said. Armstrong has always strenuously denied doping and a two-year federal investigation ended in February with no criminal charges against the Texan. USADA, however, has filed formal charges against Armstrong, accusing him of using performance-enhancing drugs throughout the best years of his career. The agency notified Armstrong and his former team manager, Johan Bruyneel, plus several of his team associates of the charges in a letter last month. The charges came after a USADA review panel examined evidence in the case, which now goes to an arbitration panel to decide. If found guilty, Armstrong could be stripped of the Tour titles he won from 1999-2005. Armstrong’s lawyer, Robert Luskin, called the charges “wrong and baseless.”

Managers play with All-Star lineups KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Ron Washington and Tony La Russa have been spending most of their spare moments the past few days fidgeting with potential lineups for next week’s All-Star game. Of course, La Russa has had a little more time on his hands. After managing the St. Louis Cardinals to the championship last season, La Russa shuffled off into retirement as a three-time World Series-winning manager. Such success normally means you’ll be asked to manage in the following year’s Midsummer Classic and, retired or not, La Russa was quick to say yes when he was approached about calling the shots in his sixth All-Star game. “There was never a ‘not’ side of it,” La Russa said Thursday. “I was excited, thrilled, honored to be asked. I have some past All-Star experiences as a coach, and as a manager, and I think it’s one of the best experiences you can have. As soon as I was asked, I said yes before the question was finished.” La Russa will be only the second retiree to manage an All-Star team in the game’s 79-year history on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium, and the first since John McGraw in 1933. He hasn’t regretted his decision, either, despite a couple of controversies that have arisen in the past few days. He left Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday off the NL roster, even though Holliday has been one of the hottest hitters in the game. The move earned the wrath of St. Louis fans who felt as if La Russa turned his back on his own guy never mind the fact that he no longer manages the team. There also was a brief flap with Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker, who suggested that second baseman Brandon Phillips and pitcher Johnny Cueto were left of the NL team because of a melee between the Reds and Cardinals during the 2010 season. La Russa dismissed such a notion.

Lin signs offer sheet with Rockets HOUSTON (AP) — A person with knowledge of the deal said Thursday that New York Knicks restricted free-agent guard Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets have agreed to terms on a four-year contract offer. The person told The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t officially announced the deal. Lin can sign the offer sheet with Houston on July 11, and the Knicks will then have three days to match the offer. The Knicks have repeatedly said that they plan to keep Lin. The contract is worth $10.2 million over the first two seasons and $9.3 million in each of the last two years. The fourth season is a team option. The person also told the AP that the Rockets traded Kyle Lowry to Toronto on Thursday for a future firstround draft pick with lottery protection and forward Gary Forbes. Lowry averaged 14.3 points and 6.6 assists in 47 games for Houston last season. The Rockets had Lin in training camp, but waived him because they had already had Lowry and Goran Dragic on their roster. Now that they’ve traded Lowry, and with Dragic headed to Phoenix, Houston is trying to get Lin back.

U.S. men set for camp

Time for IOC to stand firm against Saudis BY PAUL NEWBERRY AP Writer “The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit …” Those are the International Olympics Committee’s own words, spelled out at the very beginning of its charter, right after the preamble, under a section known as “Fundamental Principles of Olympism.” It’s time for the IOC to live up to them. If Saudi Arabia won’t allow women to compete at the London Games, tell the guys who run the oil-rich kingdom they can keep the rest of their team the men at home, too. No more negotiations. No more sorting out the details. This is a major issue, no less important than a stand taken by the IOC nearly a half-century ago when faced with the issue of apartheid in South Africa. Less than a month before the 1964 Olympics roughly the same amount of time that we stand away from the start of the London Games the organization banned South Africa from sending a team to Tokyo because of its policy of racial discrimination. Never mind that South Africa tried to buy itself some time by offering to send a team with seven nonwhites among its 62 athletes. The IOC held firm. The ban lasted until the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, after Nelson Mandela had been freed from prison and apartheid had been totally dismantled. We’ll never know exactly how much influence the IOC’s ban and other sportsrelated boycotts had on shutting down that despicable system. But rest assured, it didn’t hurt. Now, it’s time to act again, boldly and with purpose, to fully comply with the very next principle of Olympism after the one mentioned above: “Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement.” Seems pretty clear. If Saudi Arabia insists on remaining the last holdout against allowing females to compete, their invitation to Britain is revoked. “You’ve got a single country that’s being intransigent,” Martha Davis, a law professor at Northeastern University who specializes

in women’s rights, said Thursday. “Certainly in the past, after years of apartheid, the Olympic bureaucracy was able to take a stand against a racist nation. Here, we’ve got a country singularly out of step with the rest of the world. It’s really time for the IOC to take a bolder stand against that.” Saudi Arabia’s male athletes would be victims in this whole mess, too, forced to miss out on the grandest sporting event of their lives even if they don’t have the least bit of problem with marching into the Olympic Stadium alongside women. Unfortunately, there’s always collateral damage in these sort of disputes. There were undoubtedly plenty of worthy South Africans who missed out on the Olympics during the 28 years their country was banned through no fault of their own. There is no repaying what they lost, but at least a greater good was the result. That is the hope for Saudi Arabia. “I’m sure the IOC wants to be as inclusive as possible,” Davis said. “But this is a country that has already taken a policy that excludes half the population from participating.” Saudi Arabia’s foot-dragging comes at a time when both sides of the debate over gender and religious beliefs are taking constructive steps toward a workable middle ground. On Thursday, the rulesmaking panel of international soccer approved headscarves for female Muslim players, reversing a ban on the Islamic hijab that’s been enforced in FIFA competitions since 2007, supposedly for safety reasons. Last year, the international weightlifting federation reversed a similar ban, allowing athletes to compete in uniforms that cover their legs, arms and head. Kulsoom Abdullah, an American lifter who hopes to get a wild-card berth to compete for Pakistan (where her parents were born) at the London Games, led the fight to overturn clothing restrictions in her sport. Likewise, she wants to see at least one Saudi woman competing at the Olympics. “One would be better than nothing,” she told The Associated Press on Thursday. “Even if just one woman is sent, at least she would get some media attention and some awareness about her involvement within the Arab countries and internationally. The more women know about, the more it’s going to open some doors and some opportunities.”

Just a reminder Veteran Singh surges to lead at Greenbrier WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Vijay Singh and Jeff Maggert sent reminders that they’re still able to compete with the younger crowd. Singh had his best round in six months, shooting a 7-under 63 on Thursday in the Greenbrier Classic to take a one-stroke lead over Maggert, Jonathan Byrd and Martin Flores and leave Tiger Woods eight shots behind. “Gosh, I don’t know where that came from,” the 49-year-old Singh said. “I’ve been playing pretty good golf for a while, but just never got any scoring going. But today seemed I hit it close and drove the ball really well, hit a lot of greens and made some nice putts.” Last week at the tough layout at Congressional,

only seven players posted first-round scores in the 60s. Sixty-two players broke par Thursday on the Old White TPC course, with the greens far more forgiving than last year when they were reseeded and Scott Stallings won at 10 under. Woods wasn’t one of them. Coming off a victory Sunday in the AT&T National, he struggled with his putter in a 1-over 71 in his final tuneup for the British Open in two weeks. Saying the greens rolled slower than those in his last three tournaments, Woods needed 31 putts on the course he played for the first time Wednesday. “I was a little bit off with my game, and on top of that I didn’t have the speed of these greens at all,” said Woods, the tour leader this year with three victories. “I missed literally

every single putt high today.” Singh had his best effort since an 8-under 64 in the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in January. Singh is playing in his ninth tournament in 10 weeks with two top-20 finishes in that span. Last week, he also got off to a fast start but shot 81 in the final round and tied for 49th. • LPGA KOHLER, Wis. — Americans Cristie Kerr, Brittany Lincicome and Lizette Salas shot 3-under 69 on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the U.S. Women's Open. Ai Miyazato, coming off a victory Sunday in the LPGA Tour event in Arkansas, was a stroke back along with 17-yearold Lexi Thompson, Jennie Lee and Beatriz Recari.

Bolt withdraws from meet LONDON (AP) — Usain ahead of the Bolt withdrew from his London final race before the Games. Olympics on Thursday Bolt with what his coach called said the a “slight” injury problem withfollowing the Jamaican tridrawal als. would Bolt was scheduled to n o t run the 200 meters at the k e e p Monaco Diamond League BOLT h i m meet on July 20, but pulled out to have treatment from coming to London to

defend his titles. The Olympic champion and world record-holder in the 100 and 200 meters had his right hamstring stretched out on the track after finishing second to Yohan Blake in the 200 at the Jamaican Olympic trials over the weekend. He also was beaten by Blake in the 100 meters in Kingston.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — LeBron James won a championship. Deron Williams became nearly $100 million richer. Kobe Bryant got Steve Nash as his backcourt partner. See, it hasn’t been all bad news for the U.S. men’s basketball players. But overall it’s been a rough year so far, and the impact will be obvious Friday when the Americans open training camp with about three weeks until their Olympic opener. The Americans planned to arrive with their 12-man squad already selected, keeping the focus entirely on the road to London. Instead, their plans, just like their roster, have been wrecked by injuries. When practice opens on the campus of UNLV, the top priority will be determining who among the players still standing get the last available spots. The Americans will finally select their team Saturday night. “We would have already made the decision if it wasn’t for the injuries and the length of the NBA season,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We have a pretty good idea of who will be on the team, but the last one or two spots, you’re not sure of, so you want to see the guys physically and talk to them.” “They’re not trying out; all of them are good enough to be on the team. It’s where are they at right now, and how do they complement the nine or 10 guys that you already pretty much know are already on the team?” Krzyzewski said the Americans were deeper now than the squads he led to gold medals in the 2008 Olympics and 2010 world basketball championship, and the team has needed every bit of that depth. NBA All-Stars Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who would have made up one-third of the team, all have been lost to injuries. Lamar Odom, who still had a shot despite his miserable NBA season, opted not to play. Anthony Davis’ health is uncertain after the No. 1 pick sprained an ankle working out with the New Orleans Hornets. All the injuries forced the Americans to scrap their plans to name their 12-man roster June 18. They’ve lost some of their size and explosiveness, figuring they still have plenty left to defend their Olympic title.

Blue Jackets GM is working hard to trade Nash Wild owner: Free agent bonanza is ‘a game changer’ COLUMBUS (AP) — Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson isn’t saying much about his quest to trade captain Rick Nash. “We are working very hard” was about the limit of the conversation when Howson was reached Thursday. He also added that he is not facing a deadline to make a deal. Just about everyone else believes that things should be heating up. Nash, the Blue Jackets leader in most offensive categories, revealed midway through last season that he had asked to be traded. He has a no-trade clause in his contract, and has given the club a list of possible destinations. It was thought that once top free agents Zach Parise and Ryan Suter signed (both with Minnesota earlier this week), interest in Nash would climb. Among the reported suitors are the New York Rangers, Detroit,

San Jose, Carolina and Philadelphia. Nash’s camp is not speaking, either. He has not addressed the situation publicly since the regular season ended and his Toronto-based agent, Joe Resnick, did not return a telephone message seeking comment Thursday. Since this was an already sparse free-agent crop in terms of offensive firepower, Nash should be a prized commodity. It’s a question whether teams want to meet Howson’s asking price, believed to be a couple of top young NHLready players with a high draft pick or two. There is much to like about Nash. He is one of only four players to score at least 30 goals in each of the past five seasons (Calgary’s Jarome Iginla, New Jersey’s Ilya Kovalchuk and Washington’s Alex Ovechkin are the others), and many of them are highlight-reel quality. The quiet 28-year-old is also a model citizen, winning the NHL Foundation Player Award in 2009 for

his commitment and service to charities in his community. Nash is coming off a season in which he scored 30 goals and added 29 assists, but had a career worst minus-19 plus/minus. Of course, that number also has a lot to do with his teammates, and the Blue Jackets were far and away the worst team in the NHL last season. When it was revealed in February he wanted to be traded, Nash curiously said he asked for a deal because he wanted to help the only NHL club for which he has ever played. “I was informed by management that there was a rebuild, a reshape, in the team and I personally felt I could be a huge part of that toward bringing assets in,” he said. “In my view, that was the best thing for the team, the organization, and personally for my career.” Nash has spent the offseason working out with teammates, shuttling between his summer home in Canada and playing golf in the Columbus area.

• Minnesota Signs Suter, Parise MINNEAPOLIS — Craig Leipold never thought one of the biggest bonanzas in NHL history was even possible when the Wild owner stepped into the negotiating room with general manager Chuck Fletcher and the agent for forward Zach Parise. The Wild had opened the summer hoping to land one of the two biggest prizes on the market either Parise or defenseman Ryan Suter to bolster a franchise that has missed the postseason for four straight seasons. Then agent Neil Sheehy looked at Leipold and Fletcher and essentially issued a challenge. “He said to us, ‘Are you guys committed enough that you’re in for both of these guys?” Leipold said Thursday from his hotel room in New York. “Chuck kind of looks at me and said, ‘Can we talk for a second?’” The two men stepped aside to digest the possibilities and the costs of making the unthinkable a reality.

They plunged ahead, stunning the league when they signed Parise and Suter to matching 13-year, $98 million deals on Wednesday, immediately energizing a franchise that was finally starting to see some apathy set in among its fans. “This is a game changer,” Leipold said, still euphoric some 24 hours later. “We’re overnight changing who we are. We’re changing our identity. We’ll never get that opportunity again.” If any franchise needed it, it was the one in the “State of Hockey.” The Wild enjoyed a decade-long honeymoon with their fans after coming into the league as an expansion team at the turn of the century. The hockey-hungry fans were happy to simply have the pro game back in town after losing the North Stars to Dallas. Leipold bought the Wild in 2008, but the team has gone through a painful rebuilding period and had difficulty finding new stars to replace Marian Gaborik, who left for the New York Rangers in 2009.

As much of a fan as he is a businessman, Leipold desperately wanted to inject some sizzle into a roster short on star power this summer. But as late as Monday night, he feared the team was going to come away empty-handed. “We didn’t think we were going to get either one,” he said. “We heard Detroit was hot on Suter. All we know is what we’re reading. We were hearing we were up against Pittsburgh, Chicago, teams that have won in the last three or four years. These aren’t just your normal run-of-the-mill teams. They’re winning right now.” It turns out that Parise and Suter spent much of Monday and Tuesday talking to each other, researching the teams and trying to make a joint decision on where to play. In the end, they saw the list of promising young prospects Fletcher has assembled, the strong goaltending that has been the team’s hallmark for years and a market that was close to home for both players and decided to make the move to Minnesota.
