A judge rejected an in-lieu of conviction motion Monday for a former Miami County sheriff ’s deputy accused of seven felony counts of using deception to obtain prescription painkillers hydrocodone and oxycodone.

Joshua D. Adkins, 34, of Tipp City was sentenced to six months in prison during the hearing Monday afternoon in Miami County Common Pleas Court. Judge Robert Lindeman said Adkins’ ongoing prescription drug abuse is a major health concern that could not be rectified with an intervention program that had been devised by his attorney, Jose

Lopez. “There’s no monitoring process here,” Lindeman said. “The court will find you have not been entered into a meaningful plan.” Lopez counADKINS tered that he could prepare a more structured

intervention program in the coming week, but Lindeman said eight weeks should have been plenty of time to draft a better program. The judge also noted Adkins’ continued drug abuse since the incidents that led to his indictment. Adkins had obtained 870 pills between April 4 and May 19 and had visited six different doctors between April and June. “I realize the mistakes that

Trial set From staff and wire reports Miami County Common Pleas Judge Robert Lindeman has scheduled a trial Oct. 2 for an adoptive father, Kenneth H. Brandt, suspected of raping three boys in his care. Lindeman set the new date Monday after a pretrial conference with the prosecutor and the defendant’s new attorney. Veteran Dayton attorney Nick Gounaris recently replaced a public defender.

Global warming tied to extremes Last year brought a record heat wave to Texas, massive floods in Bangkok and an unusually warm November in England. How much has global warming boosted the chances of events like that? Quite a lot in Texas and England, but apparently not at all in Bangkok, say new analyses released Tuesday. Scientists can’t blame any single weather event on global warming, but they can assess how climate change has altered the odds of such events happening, Tom Peterson of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told reporters in a briefing. He’s an editor of a report that includes the analyses published by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.

But young him in the head. adults have the nation’s highest unemploy-

ment rate and also are more likely to toil in low-wage jobs without benefits. Some employers, especially smaller businesses paying lower wages, may now drop their plans and expect their workers to get government help. Other businesses, but not quite as many, will probably begin coverage in response to the law’s penalties and incentives for employers, the Congressional Budget Office predicts. UNDER 26? LEAN ON MOM OR DAD One of the law’s most popular provisions, already in effect, ensures that parents with family plans can keep their adult kids enrolled until they turn 26, if the children don’t have a suitable workplace option. Pollitz’s skateboarding son is one of them. The government estimates that 3.1 million uninsured young people already have gained coverage this way. CONSIDER MEDICAID Right now, Medicaid mostly covers children and low-income adults who are disabled, pregnant or raising kids. But the health care law will push states to expand Medicaid to also cover other adults with incomes up to around $15,000, adjusted for inflation in 2014. That’s designed to account for about half of the 30 million people expected to gain insurance coverage under the overhaul. It may fall short, however. The Supreme Court recently ruled that the federal government can’t coerce states into joining the Medicaid expansion. Some states may decline to add people to their rolls. THERE’S OTHER HELP Most people with incomes up to four times the poverty level — which currently comes out to $44,680 for an individual or $92,200 for a family of four — will qualify for some help paying for private insurance. Aid drops off sharply as income climbs, and younger people get smaller subsidies than older folks whose insurance rates are higher. The lowest earners shouldn’t have to pay more than 2 percent of their incomes toward insurance premiums for mid-level plans; those at the high end would have to contribute 9.5 percent. These plans also have significant co-pays and deductibles, but some help is available there, too. For example, a single 26-year-old earning $16,000 might pay $537 toward the annual premium for a mid-level “silver” plan, according to estimates from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The rest of the premium would be covered by a $2,853 tax credit. (Deductibles and co-pays could cost up to an additional $2,083, depending on how much care the person needs.) A 26-year-old earning $35,000 would pay $3,325 in premiums — $277 a month — for the same plan, after only a $66 tax credit. (And that patient might be on the hook for another $4,167 in out-of-pocket costs.)

Horse trails to open soon at Kyle Park Parks advisory board gives official approval BY CECILIA FOX For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com Horse lovers in Miami County will soon have a place to ride that’s much closer to home. Thanks to the efforts of the Miami County Equine Initiatives Task Force, the first horse trails anywhere in Miami County will be opening soon in Kyle Park. The Tipp City Parks Advisory Board gave the group their formal approval at Monday’s meeting, though the task force has known since June that their plans would be approved. “It’s a go,” board chairman Patrick Hodges said, congratulating the group on their success. Members of the Task Force first came before the board in January and have since met with the city council to finalize their plans for the Kyle Park trails. They have also formed a committee to organize the establishment and maintenance of the trails, which has so far had two meetings. The task force is made up of local horse owners who are dedicated to developing and expanding the equine industry in Miami County. Flora Rectenwald, the group’s cochair, and Steve Glaser, the trail boss, attended the park’s board meeting on behalf of the MCEITF.

“We can boast that this will be the first public trail within the county. And while it will serve mostly Tipp City residents, it’s still a landmark accomplishment,” Rectenwald said. The trail will incorporate service roads and hiking trails that are already in place. The trail — with terrain varying from gently rolling grassland to riverside and wooded paths — will provide riders with about an hour and a half of riding time. Though the trail already exists, the timeline for opening the trails has yet to be determined. Once the MCEITF installs the necessary signage and adds a few simple amenities like hitching posts, mounting blocks, and picnic tables — all paid for and installed by volunteers — the trails will be open to the public. “It’s a big deal for our group. It’s something that we’ve been looking forward to and I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag too soon,” Glaser said. When all necessary improvements have been made, the group will announce the grand opening of the trail. The group has applied for grant funding to help pay for a trail head kiosk, directional signs, maps and rules postings, hitching posts and mounting blocks. Donations from the community are also welcome, with different levels of donation represented by bronze, silver, gold and platinum horse

TIPP CITY shoes. The trails are expected to be very low maintenance, requiring regular reviews by city staff and task force members. Any maintenance will be taken care of by the MCEITF. The movement to establish horse trails in Miami County began last summer, inspired by the success of the Miami County recreation trail and the complete lack of any horse-friendly trails in the area. “Most people don’t realize that there aren’t any horse trails in the county,” said Rectenwald. According to Rectenwald, horse trails were part of the original plan for Kyle Park and are in keeping with the rural heritage of Tipp City and Miami County. Horses were relied upon for centuries for farming and transportation, but in Tipp City they were especially crucial during the canal era. Today, a monument stands at the old Tipp City post office in memory of the beloved warhorse of Colonel Daniel Rouzer, a Tippecanoe citizen who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. According to the task force’s website, there are currently more than 9 million horses in the United States. Approximately 3 million of those animals are used for recreation. Horses, according to the MCEITF, have earned a life of leisure after centuries of hard work. These millions of horses represent a

$112.1 billion industry and, because horse owners tend toward the wealthier end of the spectrum, the task force argues that establishing horse trails in Tipp City can only positively impact the local economy. Another benefit of horse trails is one that most people never consider, Rectenwald said. Horseback riding is a great way for people with a wide range of physical issues to enjoy the outdoors. “The horses are their legs,” Rectenwald said. The trail will not only be open to those on horseback, but to anyone who wants to use it for hiking or cycling. More information about the task force and the new trails can be found at www.mceitf.com or www.tippcityhorsetrails.com. Donations can be made through PayPal on the task force website. In other parks business, the board heard from Jason Byram, the Shifting Gears Ministry Leader at Ginghamsburg Church, who is trying to revive the Mum Festival Bike Tour. It has been about four years since the last bike tour. Byram is planning a 100-mile endurance ride, as well as 60, 30 and 15 mile rides. The riders, perhaps as many as 300, said Byram, will all launch from Tippecanoe High School and utilize part of the city’s bike trail and roads. Proceeds from the event will go to the Mum Festival and to a charity called the Sudan Project. More information can be found at www.cyclingministry.com.

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 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. 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. Pakistan is paranoid about India, which it sees as a mortal adversary.

DOONESBURY

Make the most of every situation for more fun The summer fun continues in the life of Katie Yantis. Friday night, me Key, Chels, Adam and the Steins had an amazing game night. The night included Sequence, peanuts and loaded questions. Sequence started out with some fun and laughs. We started out as Key and me being partners and Chels and Adam being partners. We then switched to the inevitable women versus men competition. Chelsea and I bombarded the men for the first couple of games and even though we will deny it to the ends of the Earth, they up on us and beat us three more times. Ssh, we won’t tell them that again though. Key celebrated by quoting an Adam Sandler movie and said “Happy learned how to putt,” after he was terrible when he was my partner and rocked with Adam. I feel as though it always goes that way though, doesn’t it ladies? Saturday continued the fun, except things ended on a different note than the girls I hung out with had planned. After a great run, a great day at work, I headed to Indian Lake with a few friends. We kicked off the evening in a pool and headed to the lake on a boat

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist with some friends. The group patrolled around for a while, but unfortunately one little sentence led to our demise as the driver of the boat said “Guys, I figured out the problem; we just ran out of gas.” He flagged down some help and jumped on board with another boat that nicely agreed to take him to shore, get some gas and return him to his friends on his boat, with no gas. As we always do, we tried to make the best of the situation and did for a while. We all jumped in the lake, swam for awhile, danced on the boat to all of our favorite tunes and jumped back in the lake again. It was a cycle of fun and laughter until we realized our trusty Skipper had left us and not

returned. We were a stranded ship, at least we weren’t stranded on an island like Robinson Crusoe. Now, don’t let me fool you. I do realize we were on Indian.. Lake, and also realize in comparison that lake is the size of a pen top compared to others. If the situation hit a dire level we could easily put on life jackets and swim and or float to shore and take our chances of getting picked up by another boat. However, we still realized that we needed to figure out some kind of back-up plan in case our captain decided not to return. So after a tentative plan, without much detail, and having a little bit more fun we then realized he still wasn’t back. We put the fun on hold and started discussing our options. We flagged down yet another boat and discussed them towing us in if our leader didn’t come back. They agreed to do so after the fireworks. In the meantime, we got attacked by bugs and laughed as the girls complained a lot less than one of the men on board and another fellow pointed it out. Even though we were stranded and were getting attacked by bugs, it

was fun to watch the fireworks out in the middle of the lake. There were no clouds, the stars were out bright and the show was great. Afterward, we thought everyone was abandoning us, even our trusty friends that had agreed to tow us. As I started asking folks again in the dark — and couldn’t differentiate one person from another — they called out to us. The tow started and after about an hour we were back on shore. Despite not being able to have the fun we thought we were going to have, we had fun in our own right by making the best of it. We killed the bugs, watched the fireworks and soaked up the skyview on the way home. It made me realize that, in all situations, you have to make the best of it and you get out what you put in. We made it a blast and we have a fun story to tell for years to come. So remember, next time you find yourself in a bind, ask yourself, do you really need your skipper? Or can you make it on your own?

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Prove to your girlfriend that she will be able to trust you again Dear Annie: I've been dating "Dayna" for eight months, and we moved in together three months ago. We fell in love from the moment we met. I'm normally a calm guy. However, two months ago I made a mistake. I went out drinking with friends and was dropped off at home so drunk that I briefly blacked out. I got into an argument with Dayna and apparently gave her a black eye. I spent a month in jail on domestic battery charges. To my surprise, she did not break up with me, although we no longer live together. We each moved back in with our parents. I know our relationship was moving too fast, but I believe in my heart that Dayna is the one for me. On the night of the incident, I had so much alcohol in my system that I'm pretty sure I would have fought with anyone who crossed my path. Currently, I am enrolled in court-ordered classes on domestic violence. Although I know I don't deserve her anymore, Dayna is still by my side, and I feel blessed for that. I made a promise to God while in jail to put the bottle down for good. I lost my job because of it, and it could have cost me my girlfriend. I'm not that person anymore. Alcoholism runs in my family. I'm a 27-year-old college-educated guy who dealt with problems by drinking because that's what my family did. I'm determined to break the cycle and have made the first step toward that goal. I see life differently now, and all I want to do is make Dayna happy again. I know it will take time, but I'm determined to make it right with her and her family. I love my girlfriend and hope to marry her one day. How do we bounce back from this horrific nightmare? — Sad and Depressed Dear Sad: You need to rebuild Dayna's trust. We are glad that you acknowledge your drinking problem and have taken steps to overcome it so you don't repeat your mistakes. Dayna needs to know that you will remain sober over the long haul, through good and bad, and this takes much more time. Find a job, get your own place, live a solid life, and prove to Dayna that you are a man she can respect. Dear Annie: I have been a widow for 12 years and am now engaged to a wonderful man. I want to invite my close friends and family to our wedding. Do I also need to invite my late husband's brother and sisters? It would make me sad to think about my late husband with my fiance's family there. — Indiana Dear Indiana: If you are close to your late husband's family, they would undoubtedly appreciate an invitation and would be hurt if you excluded them. But if you believe they would not want to come or could not enjoy themselves, it's perfectly OK to send an announcement instead. Dear Annie: I had to respond to the letter from "New Jersey," who is upset that her son's girlfriend does not clear her plate or say "thank you" for gifts. Our son's wife was exactly the same, and initially, I was equally appalled at her lack of manners. As time went on, I realized that our daughter-in-law is a sweet girl who grew up in a family where she had no modeling of these social behaviors. She simply didn't know what was expected or required. I started asking her for help with the small tasks involved in putting on a meal, and she happily complied. Over time, she began to catch on to these social conventions. She has come a long way, and we love her for all she does to make our son happy. — Pleased Mother-in-Law Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here are a few smart choices for restaurant dining Dear Readers: It is very hard to watch what you eat and make healthy choices, especially when eating out. Here are some hints from the National Institutes of Health for when you are in a restaurant and want to make better choices. • Meals today are of such large portions that before you even start to eat, ask that half be wrapped to take home with you. • Order an appetizer or two INSTEAD OF a meal. • Pay attention to every bite. As soon as you feel satisfied and full, stop eating. • Instead of drinks with sugar in them, try water (with lemon or lime added) or a low-calorie soda. — Heloise

Hints from Heloise Columnist SAFETY HINT Dear Heloise: I remember reading a hint about buying larger packages of meat, chicken, etc., and separating them into smaller portions. After wrapping the individual portions, the writer cut the labels from the packages and placed everything in a plastic bag. I have been

doing this for years, but recently something happened that makes this a more important thing than ever. In the news there was a message to return certain potentially tainted meats. When I saw the package on TV, I realized that I may have bought some of it. I went to my freezer and removed the bag of meat. I was so glad that I had both the brand of the meat and the label that shows exactly how much and the price, because I did indeed have some of that meat. I had no problem returning it, but had I not had that important information and it turned out my package was tainted, I could have become very sick from it. — Helen, via email

CELERY TOPS Dear Heloise: Your comment on celery tops (Heloise here: previous column on eating the leaves) prompted me to write to you, as this is one of my pet peeves! Most grocery stores cut all the tops off celery. I’d like to go to their produce people and ask for all those leaves! Besides salads and seasonings, they are wonderful in soups. I like to saute celery, with onions, before putting it in a casserole or creamy vegetable soup. It certainly adds a lot of flavor to most foods, so please tell those grocers to leave more of the tops on celery stalks! — Bonnie G. in South Dakota

The same mental energy will help you study or learn something new if you wish, because you have a very penetrating mind. YOU BORN TODAY You’re an excellent observer of the human condition. You’re committed to your ideals and persuasive in your arguments. This makes you an influential person within your family and your larger social sphere.

(AP) — Today is Wednesday, July 11, the 193rd day of 2012. There are 173 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 11, 1937, American composer and pianist George Gershwin, whose works included “Rhapsody in Blue,” ”Concerto in F,” ”An American in Paris,” and “Porgy and Bess,” died at a Los Angeles hospital of a brain tumor; he was 38. On this date:

Actress Sela Ward is 56. Reggae singer Michael Rose (Black Uhuru) is 55.

Global warming tied to risk of weather extremes

noted that the state suffered through record heat last year. It happened during a La Nina weather pattern, the flip side of El Nino. Caused by the cooling of the central Pacific Ocean, La Nina generally cools global temperatures but would be expected to make the southern United States warmer and drier than usual. But beyond that, the scientists

wondered, would global warming affect the chances of such an event happening? To find out, they ran a lot of computer simulations of Texas climate during La Nina years. They compared the outcome of three such years in the 1960s with that of 2008, which was used as a stand-in for 2011 because they were unable to simulate last year. The idea, they

said, was to check the likelihood of such a heat wave both before and after there was a lot of man-made climate change, which is primarily from burning fossil fuels like coal and oil. Their conclusion: Global warming has made such a Texas heat wave about 20 times more likely to happen during a La Nina year. Using a similar approach, scientists from Oxford University and the British government looked at temperatures in central England. Last November was the second warmest in that region in more than 300 years. And December 2010 was the second coldest in that time. Their analysis concluded

that global warming has made such a warm November about 62 times more likely, and such a cold December just half as likely. Kevin Trenberth, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s climate analysis section, said that he found the Britain study to be reasonable, given what he called a flawed climate model. As for the Texas result, he said that given how the study was done, the calculated increase in likelihood “could well be an underestimate.” A third analysis considered unusually severe river flooding last year in central and southern Thailand, including neighborhoods in Bangkok. It found no sign

that climate change played a role in that event, noting that the amount of rainfall was not very unusual. The scale of the flooding was influenced more by factors like reservoir operation policies, researchers wrote. Also at the briefing, NOAA released its report on the climate for 2011, which included several statistics similar to what it had announced earlier. Last year was the coolest since 2008 in terms of global average temperature, which was about 57.9 degrees Fahrenheit (14.4 degrees Celsius.). But it still remained among the 15 warmest years since records began in the late 1800s, the agency said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Last year brought a record heat wave to Texas, massive floods in Bangkok and an unusually warm November in England. How much has global warming boosted the chances of events like that? Quite a lot in Texas and England, but apparently not at all in Bangkok, say new analyses released Tuesday. Scientists can’t blame any single weather event on global warming, but they can assess how climate change has altered the odds of such events happening, Tom Peterson of the National Oceanic and A t m o s p h e r i c Administration told reporters in a briefing. He’s an editor of a report that includes the analyses published by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. In the Texas analysis, researchers at Oregon State University and in England

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 branches are Union 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.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A potentially explosive report into whether football coach Joe Paterno and other top Penn State officials took steps to conceal that former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was a child molester will be released Thursday online for all to see, officials said Tuesday. Attorneys for the university’s deposed president, meanwhile, broke a monthslong silence and denied suggestions that Graham Spanier participated in a coverup with the image of Penn State and its powerful and lucrative football program at stake. The internal report by former FBI chief Louis Freeh is expected to reveal how the university treated Sandusky, Paterno’s onetime heir apparent, after top administrators fielded complaints about his encounters with young boys more than a decade ago. It is also expected to cast light on how the Hall of Fame coach, who died in January, exerted control over the football program while Sandusky worked under him and after Sandusky retired from coaching. And the report could influence how Paterno is remembered while affecting an ongoing NCAA probe into the school’s conduct and the criminal cases against two Penn State administrators. Freeh’s spokesman said the report will be published online at 9 a.m. Thursday. Investigators will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. in Philadelphia to discuss its findings and recommendations. The university trustees, who are meeting in Scranton on Thursday, said they will respond shortly thereafter. Paterno’s family said in a statement Tuesday that the late coach “did not cover up for Jerry Sandusky. Joe Paterno did not know that Jerry Sandusky was a pedophile. Joe Paterno did not act in any way to prevent a proper investigation of Jerry Sandusky. To claim otherwise is a distortion of the truth.” Paterno supported the decision by the board of trustees to

3 Armstrong associates get lifetime USADA bans Doping takes down Tour cyclist The longtime problem of doping hit the Tour de France head-on when a French rider was arrested at his team hotel and suspended by his team Tuesday. Police made their move on the Tour’s first rest day in arresting Cofidis cyclist Remy Di Gregorio. See Page 14.

With Lance Armstrong still digging in for a legal fight, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on Tuesday issued lifetime sports bans to three former staff members and consultants on Armstrong’s winning Tour de France teams for doping violations. Luis Garcia del Moral was a team doctor; Michele Ferrari was a consulting doctor; and Jose “Pepe” Marti (team trainer) worked for Armstrong’s U.S. Postal Service and Discovery

Channe l squads. All had been accused by USADA of participating in a vast doping conspiracy on those teams during part or all of Armstrong’s ARMSTRONG seven Tour de France victories from 1999-2005. Armstrong also has been

charged and has declared his innocence. Armstrong wants a federal judge to block USADA’s case against him from going forward and is expected to refile a lawsuit within days. An Armstrong spokesman declined immediate comment on the USADA bans issued Tuesday. Under USADA rules, Moral, Marti and Ferrari had until Monday to challenge the allegations in arbitration or ask for a five-day extension. If they did not respond, USADA could

impose sanctions. Although none lives in the United States, USADA says the ban blocks them from participating in any sport that falls under the World Anti-Doping Agency code. “The respondents chose not to waste resources by moving forward with the arbitration process, which would only reveal what they already know to be the truth of their doping

Penn State ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 hire Freeh to conduct a thorough investigation of the Sandusky allegations, but recent news leaks raised questions about fairness and confidentiality, the family said in the lengthy statement. They said the Freeh group turned down an offer for the family to respond to allegations after also asking to review the findings to prepare a response. The winningest coach in major college football, Paterno never got a chance to speak to the Freeh group before he died of lung cancer on Jan. 22 at age 85. “It is our firm belief that the report would be stronger and more credible if we were simply given a chance to review the findings concerning Joe Paterno in order to present the case he was never allowed to make,” the family said. Trustee Ryan McCombie who was elected to the board this spring and was not a trustee when Paterno was fired in November said he hoped the report took a broader look beyond Paterno “and addresses the university as a whole and how this culture was handled or mishandled correctly and comes to some closure on that.” “The people who loved Joe Paterno will still love him when this is over,” McCombie said. “The people who disliked him may feel they have ammunition to continue to dislike him.” Tuesday’s announcement that Freeh and his team of investigators have completed their work came a few hours after lawyers for Spanier denied that he was ever told of any criminality by Sandusky. The lawyers were rebutting reports that indicate Spanier, who was interviewed by Freeh investigators on Friday,

might have tried to cover up the abuse. “At no time in the more than 16 years of his presidency at Penn State was Dr. Spanier told of an incident involving Jerry Sandusky that described child abuse, sexual misconduct or criminality of any kind, and he reiterated that during his interview with Louis Freeh and his colleagues,” said a statement from the lawyers, Peter Vaira and Elizabeth Ainslie. Both Spanier, 63, and Paterno were ousted by school trustees a few days after Sandusky’s November arrest. Prosecutors described how Sandusky, 68, culled the most vulnerable children from his charity for at-risk youth and used gifts and his access to Penn State facilities to abuse them over a 15-year span. Sandusky was convicted last month on 45 counts of abuse involving 10 boys and will likely die in prison. Freeh was hired by the university to find out what school officials, including Spanier and Paterno, knew about the child molester in their midst, and the former FBI director and federal judge promised a wide-ranging investigation. Freeh said in November that he would not interfere with the state’s criminal probe but promised to conduct his review in “a thorough, fair, comprehensive manner, leaving no stone unturned, and without any fear or favor.” Freeh and his team of lawyers and former law officials enforcement interviewed more than 400 people, asking questions that went beyond Sandusky and the child sex-abuse scandal and into the relationship between football program and the university administration.

Day of (ar)rest Police take down Di Gregorio for doping V I L L I E - M O R G O N, France (AP) — The longtime problem of doping hit the Tour de France headon when a French rider was arrested at his team hotel and suspended by his team Tuesday. Police made their move on the Tour’s first rest day in arresting Cofidis cyclist Remy Di Gregorio, with judicial officials saying two other people suspected of supplying the Frenchman with banned substances were also arrested one along with the rider in Bourg-en-Bresse, and another in Marseille. The officials requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly as the investigation is ongoing. Cycling’s premier showcase event has long been dogged by doping scandals. Two-time winner Alberto Contador of Spain is sitting out this year to serve a doping ban from the 2010 race, while seventime Tour champion Lance Armstrong has been charged with participating in a vast conspiracy by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The American has declared his innocence and is asking a federal court to block USADA’s case. Di Gregorio’s arrest comes after an investigation that began last June and is led by the French police agency responsible for doping investigations, OCLAESP, and Marseille police. “(The police) have followed Remy’s actions for a good while,” Cofidis manager Yvon Sanquer said at a news conference. “If I had ever been aware or anyone else had been aware, Remy’s time with the team would have been over the

Sanquer said Di Gregorio’s teammates reacted with a mix of “anger and devastation … when I explained the situation to them, it was painful for them. There were tears.” The 26-year-old Di Gregorio was in 35th place after Monday’s ninth stage. The Marseille native turned pro in 2005 with French team Francaise des Jeux, and was once considered one of the most promising young French riders.

tration. USADA filed the charges against Armstrong and the others in June, laying out what it calls a vast doping conspiracy on Armstrong’s teams when he was winning the Tour de France from 1999-2005. Moral, who lives in Spain, was the team physician from 1999-2003. According to USADA, he helped riders use banned blood transfusion techniques to help boost endurance. He also helped them use banned performance-enhancing drugs including the blood-booster EPO and steroids. Moral could not immediately be reached for comment by telephone or email.

In the 2008 Tour de France, Cofidis pulled out of the race following Italian rider Cristian Moreni’s positive test for testosterone. In 2004, French police arrested then-Cofidis riders David Millar of Britain and Cedric Vasseur of France in another doping investigation involving the team and seized male hormones, EPO and amphetamines. Another former Cofidis rider, Phillipe Gaumont, accused several of his teammates and the team doctor at the time of widespread doping.

When the investigation began, Di Gregorio was riding for Astana. He won one stage in the 2011 Paris-Nice race with the Kazahk team. This season, he has had one stage win, in the Spanish Tour of Asturias in April. Sanquer said he believed Di Gregorio, who recently became a father, “didn’t understand the breadth of what he was doing and the seriousness of what he could be doing” if the accusations turn out to be true. “Cycling is about beautiful moments, and there also very difficult ones. This is one,” Sanquer said. “There are other things sickness, injury … it’s part of a series of things that riders have to get through.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The U.S. Army will not return to Stewart-Haas Racing next season, effectively ending its sponsorship in NASCAR altogether after a decade. SHR said Tuesday it is pursuing a new sponsor. “The U.S. Army has been a great partner of StewartHaas Racing since the team’s inception,” said Brett Frood, executive vice president of SHR. “It has been a mutually beneficial relationship, with the U.S. Army introducing training regimens that improved our pit crews while instilling the mental, physical and emotional strength of the U.S. Army Soldier in all of us.” The Army has been in NASCAR for 10 seasons, and at one point was a primary sponsor. It moved to SHR to sponsor Ryan Newman in 2009 when the

team was formed. “The sport, our drivers and the passionate NASCAR fans embraced the Army’s participation and created a tremendous opportunity for Americans to learn more about the profession of the Army Strong Soldier,” Army marketer John Myers said in a statement. The decision to leave NASCAR comes as Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota and Rep. Jackson Kingston of Georgia are pushing an amendment that would prohibit military sponsorship of sports. McCollum lost a House vote a year ago to end military sponsorships of NASCAR, professional wrestling and fishing, but is trying again to have the approximately $80 million in sponsorship cut from the defense budget.

All-Star issues

All-Star

BY MIKE SCHMIDT For The Associated Press I was on 12 All-Star rosters, most as a legit All-Star deserving of the honor of representing the National League as one of that year’s best players. In 1980, I missed the game with a pulled muscle. And in 1989, I was voted to the team as a starter after I had retired. In each case the replacement was a player deserving and capable of carrying out the assignment in my place. Back then, the fans picked the game’s starters. That’s all, the starters. The managers picked the remainder of the roster so that as the game progressed into the deciding innings, each league would have its best on the field. Every year, the fan voting is skewed to elect players based on popularity, not on production. That’s OK because the game has been labeled “for the fans.” This game for the fans, however, now carries a significant prize: World Series home field, which is why the field personnel must decide on the final roster. The All-Star game has become the black sheep event of Bud Selig’s tenure as baseball commissioner. Back in the day, it was a game each league wanted to win. Willie Mays was picked for 24 All-Star games and played nine innings in many. When I started my run in the ’70s, reporting to the game meant joining Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Joe Torre, Lou Brock, Willie Stargell, Dave Parker, Tony Perez, and others who demanded we play to win. Get this: Winning didn’t mean anything other than league pride. Mr. Selig is still hunting for the answer as to why the All-Star game these days has gotten away from that attitude. Maybe his game has given way in importance to other All-Star events, like the Home Run Derby? Maybe his player voting and selection system has created confusion. By placing the World Series home-field advantage on the game’s outcome while at the same time allowing fan voting to play the major role in roster selection he confuses not only baseball fans, but me, too. Maybe the players themselves just aren’t of the mind to accept the game as serious. Understandable, as their entire existence as athletes is an open book to the media and TV already, why would they consider another three days of national TV exposure an exciting opportunity? For them, a chance to rest or heal a small injury is more important. For us back in the day, it was a chance to actually see a national TV camera. We wanted to be there, and win. One reason the old-school charm and league pride is missing interleague play. There is no Big Red Machine or Lumber Company that the other league is jealous of. There is no mystery or challenge in facing the other league’s players. There is no Hatfields vs. McCoys mentality. Today, it’s rosters of many who once were teammates, who have played in both leagues or have faced one another many times. I remember facing Nolan Ryan in the 1979 game. You want mystery? Hatfield vs. McCoy mentality? Wow, my entire existence as a hitter was on display nationally, and guess what, so was his. It was the best in one league against the best in the other. A classic confrontation. That’s what’s missing. Let’s face it, marketing dollars and television have become more important than competition and credibility at this game and every game, except golf. The All-Star game, in whatever form presented, will get major media attention, a significant national TV audience and have a profound effect on the Kansas City economy. No matter who does the voting, who makes the roster or how memorable the competition, the game will be an event and it will satisfy sponsors. Maybe that’s all we should ask of it? Me, I’m just an old confused guy who remembers when it did both.

Booing draws attention

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 to come in on Monday and hit off the machine — not a long workout, just a little quickie, concentrated batting practice. And I think it helped a lot.” In each of the first three innings, Piqua came up with a two-out RBI single that drove a runner in from second base. In the first, Reese Jones led off with an infield double — hitting the ball down the third-base line and drawing a throw from the third baseman after he’d already passed first base. After Troy starter Steven Blei struck the next hitter out looking and got a routine groundout for the second out, Tyler Zimmerman drove the ball into left to bring home the run — but was thrown out himself trying to stretch it into a double. A leadoff walk and a stolen base by Jacob Burk bit Troy in the second inning. Blei struck out the next two hitters, but Kyle Niekamp singled with two outs to score the run. And in the third, Ethan Bruns walked with two outs, stole second and came home on another Zimmerman RBI single. But that shot only tied the game up at 3-3, as Troy had been busy scoring itself. Dylan Cascaden and Nick Antonides hit back-to-back singles in the bottom of the first, with the left fielder misplaying Antonides’ and allowing Cascaden to score. Antonides then scored on a pair of wild pitches to give Post 43 the lead. After Piqua tied it up in the top of the second, Troy took a 3-2 lead. Sanders led off with a double, and a single by Devin Blakely put runners on the corners. With one out, Garrett Mitchell popped a surprise bunt into the perfect place — just inside the first-base bag, where no one was covering to score the run. But a lineout to Niekamp at second led to a runner being doubled off, and that was all the damage Troy could do before Piqua tied it in the top of the third.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The relentless booing of the Yankees’ Robinson Cano by Kansas City fans during the All-Star Home Run Derby on Monday night drew national attention, and in some places scorn. Fans were upset after the captain of the American League squad said he would choose a hometown player for his four-man team, but instead bypassed Royals star Billy Butler and went with Prince Fielder of the Tigers, Mark Trumbo of the Angels and Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays. Fielder won the competition, and the AL routed the National League. Cano wound up going 0 for 10, though, and each failure was met by cheers. Cano brushed off the cold reception, but others weren’t so kind to Kansas City. Several national TV broadcasters, radio hosts and columnists called the fans everything from “jerks” to “classless.” “Robinson Cano certainly picked people he thought should be on there,” Commissioner Bud Selig told the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Tuesday. “While I understand Kansas City and I understand the whole Billy Butler thing, I really felt very badly last night.” Union head Michael Weiner thought the level of jeering was not justified. “It struck me that it moved a little bit past traditional, good-natured booing, particularly for an event like that, and got into another area,” Weiner said. “But Robinson Cano grew up in the Dominican Republic, plays in the Bronx, plays for the Yankees. He’s going to be fine.”

Attic-stashed card collection could net millions DEFIANCE (AP) — Karl Kissner picked up a soot-covered cardboard box that had been under a wooden dollhouse in his grandfather’s attic. Taking a look inside, he saw hundreds of baseball cards bundled with twine. They were smaller than the ones he was used to seeing. But some of the names were familiar: Hall of Famers Ty Cobb, Cy Young and Honus Wagner. Then he put the box on a dresser and went back to digging through the attic. It wasn’t until two weeks later that he learned that his family had come across what experts say is one of the biggest, most exciting finds in the history of sports card collecting, a discovery worth perhaps millions. The cards are from an extremely rare series

issued around 1910. Up to now, the few known to exist were in so-so condition at best, with faded images and worn edges. But the ones from the attic in the town of Defiance are nearly pristine, untouched for more than a century. The colors are vibrant, the borders crisp and white. “It’s like finding the Mona Lisa in the attic,” Kissner said. Sports card experts who authenticated the find say they may never again see something this impressive. “Every future find will ultimately be compared to this,” said Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator. The best of the bunch 37 cards are expected to bring a total of $500,000 when they are sold at auction in August during the National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore.

There are about 700 cards in all that could be worth up to $3 million, experts say. They include such legends as Christy Mathewson and Connie Mack. Kissner and his family say the cards belonged to their grandfather, Carl Hench, who died in the 1940s. Hench ran a meat market in Defiance, and the family suspects he got them as a promotional item from a candy company that distributed them with caramels. They think he gave some away and kept others. “We guess he stuck them in the attic and forgot about them,” Kissner said. “They remained there frozen in time.” After Hench and his wife died, two of his daughters lived in the house. Jean Hench kept the house until she died last October,

leaving everything inside to her 20 nieces and nephews. Kissner, 51, is the youngest and was put in charge of the estate. His aunt was a pack rat, and the house was filled with three generations of stuff. They found calendars from the meat market, turn-of-the-century dresses, a steamer trunk from Germany and a dresser with Grandma’s clothes neatly folded in the drawers. Months went by before they even got to the attic. On Feb. 29, Kissner’s cousin Karla Hench pulled out the dirty green box with metal clips at the corners and lifted the lid. Not knowing whether the cards were valuable, the two cousins put the box aside. But Kissner decided to do a little research. The cards were at his office in the restau-

rant he owns when he realized they might have something. He immediately took them across the street and put them in a bank vault. Still not knowing whether the cards were real, they sent eight to expert Peter Calderon at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, which recently sold the baseball that rolled through the legs of Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner in the 1986 World Series for $418,000. Calderon said his first words were “Oh, my God.” “I was in complete awe,” he said. “You just don’t see them this nice.” The cards are from what is known as the E98 series. It is not clear who manufactured them or how many were produced, but the series consists of 30 players, half of them Hall of Famers.
