A party with a purpose More than 12,000 turn out for National Night Out

The Miami County Sheriff is considering reopening two pods — 120 beds — at the Incarceration Facility on County Road 25-A to address overcrowding at the Miami County Jail. For several weeks, the jail has been closed to persons with low-level misdemeanors and some felonies. The inmate population yesterday was 117 — considerably more than the 111 the

Welbaum urged attendees to not only take advantage of the free food and fun, but to meet new neighbors and to talk with law enforcements in their presence. “Meet your neighbors, meet new people, meet your police officers,”

According to Kronour, the school will lose about $700,000 in state funding for next year. This is addition to the 1.3 million that was cut from state funding the previous year. If a November levy fails as well, staff cuts are expected to include a second grade teacher, a high school Ohio Work Education teacher, a high school guidance counselor, a high school media specialist, a custodian and six varsity assistant coaches. The school also would cut $10,000 from both class field trips and professional development. Participation fees for sports would increase 50 percent for the middle and high school.

He was probably the best math teacher I had,” Walker said. “I had him the last period of the day and I always left his class with a smile.” Students will always remember Mr. Stace and his “pi day” activity. “He had fun things to do, like pi day by bringing in pie,” Walker said. “He tried to make math real to his students he taught it in a way that the students could use it in real life. He was always patient with his students and did everything he could to give them a good grade. I was looking forward to seeing him my senior year. The UVCC will miss him.” Cosmetology student Tabitha McKitrick, 16, of Covington, also will be a senior at the Career Center this year. McKitrick said she will remember Mr. Stace for the sympathy he showed her when her brother passed away last year. “When my brother passed away last December, Mr. Stace was there for me,” she said. “He would talk to me, and ask me if there was anything I needed. It’s good to know that they now finally get to meet.” McKitrick said she considers Mr. Stace a “great teacher, friend and role model. He was the first teacher to show me that he really cared. He talked to me and other classmates when we were going through hard times. He was patient, kind, understanding and willing to help in any way he could. By far my favorite teacher that has ever taught me. He was always good at giving advice, and

Welbaum shared the U.S. Department of Justice’s statistics which showed an 11 percent reduction in crime due to neighborhood watches after NNO events in College Hill, near Cincinnati, which is a city similar in size to Troy. Welbaum said the type of community depends on its people and their diligence to prevent crime from occurring, and if it is, by reporting it quickly. “The difference is community,” Welbaum said, noting a “stark contrast of

listening when anyone had a problem. I was never good at math, but he gave me the extra time that I needed, and walked me through the problem step by step. He always had a positive attitude, and loved his family so much.” Mr. Stace and his wife Tammy, of Fletcher, have three children, Talia, Keara and Josalyn. According to Pastor Shawn Hess of Grace Baptist Church, Mr. Stace served as a deacon for the congregation and was active with the church’s AWANA program. He also assisted his wife with the GEMS ministry, which ministered to families with special needs children, both in the church and the community. Hess said Mr. Stace had a belief that he often shared and that was “if he could reach just one person for Christ it was worth it.” Hess continued to say that Mr. Stace had “suffered from seizures for years and that he also often said ‘if I have to endure this for that’”— bringing someone to Christ — “that it was worth it. Although he’s not here to say it, he would probably say the same thing about his death — that it was worth it.” The Career Center’s statement on the passing of Mr. Stace also mentions his spiritual faith. “Students, friends and co-workers will always remember David Stace as a man of great faith who never hesitated to share a laugh of his love of God and family. His belief in a greater plan provides the comfort and strength we need to celebrate his life and endure his passing.” Funeral services for Mr. Stace are pending with Baird Funeral Home, Troy.

Community members shook hands and met with law officers such as Troy Police Department’s School Resource Officers and D.A.R.E. instructors Kirt Wright and Chris Madigan. Madigan said it’s evenings in the community at events such as NNO that showcase their efforts as officers within the schools and the surrounding communities. “We just are here to get the word out about D.A.R.E. and our summer events such as bike safety camp and Safe-T-Town for everyone to enjoy and think about for next year,” Madigan said. Troy Police Department Capt. Joe Long said

it’s a welcome opportunity to come out and meet with the community for whom they serve. “It’s good for the community to see the different side of us,” Long said. “This isn’t a Troy event; it’s a county event. We have people here from Piqua, Tipp City, West Milton, and they get to visit with their respective officials in a fun setting.” Long said he has people come up and talk with him on a first-name basis because they feel that close-knit community connection. ‘They get to know you instead of just when you show up on calls to their home,” Long said. “It’s popular with the citizens and you can tell by the turnout that people enjoy it and the community as a whole benefits. They are here to support us.”

ated “the perfect storm” for increasing the jail population, Duchak said. Under provisions of House Bill 86, in effect since last September, some felonies are now handled at the county level rather than state level. Projected costs for re-opening the two pods should be computed by next week. Cox will then discuss the findings with commissioners. “Everybody has been working extremely well together,” Duchak said. “It’s a difficult issue. We want to ensure public safety as well as officer safety.”

Council honors Pfc. Jeffrey Rice Water treatment plant upgrade also approved BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Troy City Council unanimously approved six pieces of legislation at Monday’s meeting, including a resolution in memoriam for Pfc. Jeffrey L. Rice, a Troy High School graduate who died July 19 while serving in Afghanistan. The resolution stated, “the valor, courage, and ultimate sacrifice of Troy’s fallen hero, PFC Jeffrey L. Rice is recognized by this Council, and this expression of sincere sympathy is extended to the family of PFC Rice.� A signed copy of the resolution will be given to Rice’s family. Also approved by council was an agreement with Innovated Technologies, LLC for developing computerized control improvements at the

Water Treatment Plant, at a cost of $70,000. The updated technology will allow the city greater operational efficiency, resulting in monetary savings over time, Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick PFC. RICE Titterington said at the Utilities Committee meeting last week. Council also OK’d seeking contractual work for construction of a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for the water plant, with a budget set at $891,200. At a previous meeting, council members had authorized the system design. In other council news Monday:

Delegates recognized

• Members approved extending duty injury leave to 120 days for firefighters Eric Krites and Jeffrey Shelton, who were injured in separate incidents in March. The two city employees were granted 90 days duty injury leave, but medical personnel deemed them not well enough to return to work within that specified time period, which ends Aug. 14 for Krites and Sept. 3 for Shelton. • Miami County’s $500,000 Moving Ohio Forward grant was recognized at the meeting. Created by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, the grant is intended to remedy the effects of “abandoned, vacant and deteriorating residential properties.â€? The city of Troy will collaborate with the Miami County Board of Commissioners to participate in the program.

Prior to the start of the meeting, council members recognized delegates in the TroyTakahashi City Student Exchange Program. The students leave early today and return Aug. 16. Chaperoned by two adults, Sue Knight and Chad Moos, the students will take a tour of city hall, visit the ancient temple, climb a mountain to the Matsuyama Castle, visit a farming community, learn a traditional dance and much more. Each student hosted a student from Takahashi City last year. “I think we’ve picked a good group to represent the city of Troy,� Mayor Mike Beamish said. Students include: Amanda Bowman, Megan Neumeier, Kyra Moos, Sara Goodwin, Chloe Johnston, Nick Neumeier, Jack Gates, Jack Johnston and Timmy Farrier.

Village utility department employee steps down Members of Covington Village Council on Monday night accepted the resignation of a utilities department employee. At the recommendation of Administrator Mike Busse, who cited tight village finances, council agreed not to fill the vacancy at the present time. Council accepted the resignation of Bob Chaney effective Aug. 17. Mayor Ed

McCord said Chaney “did a good job� during his more than five years with the village. McCord thanked Chaney for his service and wished him well in the future. Busse said it is hoped the position can be filled in the future “when the budget looks better.� Noting that there will be times when more help will be needed in the utilities departments, Busse said during those busy periods the village will use a part-time utility worker.

COVINGTON “We’re trying to be more cost-efficient,� Busse said after the meeting, pointing to projected deficits in some utility funds for the 2013 fiscal year. Following a public hearing conducted prior to the regular meeting, council approved the tax budget for 2013. McCord explained that the tax budget “is adjustable.� The final budget will be addressed by council later this year.

The tax budget shows estimated general fund expenses of $928,042 for 2013, with a projected net income of $53,158 and a year-end balance of $218,233. The total for all village funds is estimated at $2,671,641, with a projected net income shortfall of $126,191 and a year-end balance of $529,387. Council voted to give Busse authority to sell surplus village equipment. Among the items to be sold are a paint sprayer, two lawn tractors and eight

Council had planned to approve a village ordinance banning the engine compression brakes, but it was learned that there is already a ban in the Ohio Revised Code, so the local ordinance was unnecessary.

PERSPECTIVE

TIM RAY Superintendent, City of Troy Water Plant recent article in this newspaper reported on concerns raised regarding the quality of Troy’s water supply. Troy draws its water from the aquifer, which Piqua cannot do, requiring them to use surface water such as the Great Miami River. The USEPA has been investigating groundwater contamination in Troy, apparently caused by chemicals dumped by two or more businesses. The concerns raised were by a Piqua resident, saying the uncertainty of the contamination supports why Piqua should spend nearly $40 million As I to build a new plant, rather than entering See It into a partnership with Troy. ■ The Troy As superintendent of the Troy Water Daily News Treatment Plant, I can firmly state that: 1) welcomes while contaminants are present at a very low columns from our readers.

Water Plant as “very clean, orderly, well operated and maintained, with no deficiencies noted with water treatment.” Simply put, there has never been an issue of contamination in Troy’s finished drinking water — PERIOD. I can make that statement because I have over 15 years of experience at this plant, hold an OEPA Class IV Water Supply Certification and am designated as the City’s primary Operator of Record to the OEPA. I am responsible for ensuring the quality and quantity of treated water supplied to our customers and I can be held personally liable and criminally prosecuted if there are infractions or falsification of records. Again, Troy’s finished water has never exceeded any MCLs. On the contrary, the treated water from the Piqua Water Plant has exceeded the MCL for disinfection byproducts in both 2011 and 2012, and citizens received prompt notification. Also, monitoring and treatment for watershed run-off contaminants, such as atrazine, is a concern for a surface water supply. The cities of Piqua and Troy spent a combined $150,000 to $75,000 each of their water revenues paid by their customers to study the feasibility of creating a joint water venture partnership. The consultant verified that a joint venture would save Piqua $8 million to $10 million by not building a new plant, as well as saving over $1 million every year in additional operating costs. The benefits to Troy water customers could include eliminating rate increases for eight to 10 years. As part of the study, Eagon & Associates assessed the viability of Troy’s water supply. That study is included as Appendix D of the consultants’ study (which is available on Troy’s website, www.troyohio.gov). Eagon states unequivocally: “…based on a review of the available information, it is concluded that there is no plausible scenario whereby the aquifer becomes unusable from the standpoint of water quality.” (p. iii)

Is another levy really necessary? To the Editor: There is another tax levy being placed on the ballot for Miami East School District in November. I understand this renewal five-year, 3.5-mill property tax

levy, which brings in $380,723 per year, is for the general operating fund. Since there was a substantial cost savings from the funding of the new high school, are there any restrictions that would prevent using the $1 million savings to support the general operating fund?

Miami East tax payers were informed that those savings would be returned to them. Perhaps this tax levy is not really necessary at this time if the $1 million can be utilized in its place.

DOONESBURY

Still searching for a fun form of exercise At the the beginning of spring, I resolved to find a fun, stress-relieving physical activity to do every day. Several months later, I must report that I have failed miserably. Initially, I committed myself to running around my neighborhood, jogging intermittently with some walking too, in the hopes of eventually building up to running a 5K in May for my hometown’s spring festival. That never happened. I then decided to attend a Zumba class near work, but I arrived too late (I get lost everywhere) and was too embarrassed to go in while the Jennifer Lopez remix was already pumping loud. I have yet to try a second time. I then dismally decided I would break my tradition of avoiding gyms. A monthly fee will surely provide the incentive to go work out, right? Wrong. I have yet to even jump the first hurdle of registering. So, five months later, I have resigned myself to “wogging” — walking/jogging — around the neighborhood. To make matters worse, my iPod broke a few weeks ago — a casualty of chasing pavements, as Adele might say. Without upbeat music, my jogging feels more like plodding, and I can barely keep my mind and body engaged for more than 10 minutes. My somewhat pathetic track record

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist with exercise can be traced back to the days of organized sports in my youth. Through my hometown’s community center, I did a hodge-podge of sports and activities beginning in first grade — basketball, soccer, field hockey, volleyball (ow), gymnastics, ballet, tee ball. You name it, I tried it. I was lackluster at best, horrendous at worst in elementary school. That brings me to seventh grade, when I played basketball for a religious league and scored a giant goose egg in points. Not for one game. For the entire season. Not even 5 feet tall, I played a position akin to center, which I think was a not-so-subtle way for the coach to let me know that he didn’t trust me and was thus leaving me useless and ostracized under the basket. Fast forward to junior high, when I decided to run long-distance track. Finally, a sport that put my scrawni-

ness to good use. I didn’t rock at it, but I wasn’t terrible, either. I liked it so much that I ran cross country my freshman year of high school. Shockingly, I found running doubledigit distances to be both relaxing and exhilarating. I was actually decent. My running “career” was brief, though — I became stressed by the competition and no longer considered it fun. I quit after one year. In college, I attended the occasional group fitness class — Jazzercise, Zumba and Boot Camp (kill me now) — but wouldn’t be caught dead on a treadmill or elliptical. I did attend a yoga class once, but was called out by the instructor in front of everyone for incorrect form. My junior year, I again was confronted with organized sports. A couple guy friends asked me to play on their intramural soccer team. This had absolutely nothing to do with my soccer skills and absolutely everything to do with the fact that they needed another girl to meet the required guy-girl ratio. Needless to say, my athletic ability was pretty stellar compared to my friends, former varsity soccer players. Despite dabbling in a few random activities, speed walking 15 minutes to campus with a 20-pound backpack remained my main form of exercise. And now, more than a year out of col-

lege, I have yet to find a suitable form of exercise that meets at least the absolute bare minimum required for daily activity. Over the last few weeks, I’ve bought some women’s health magazines to provide some motivation. I’ve even dog-eared a few pages with the intention of trying out the exercise tips. But alas, I’ve never once picked them up to try. I subscribe to the philosophy that I once heard Ellen DeGeneres utter on her show: “I don’t know what I’m training for, but I hope it never happens.” I’m sure I fool many people into thinking I’m in shape, since I have been blessed with a fast metabolism and a pseudo runner’s build, but really, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Beyond vain reasons, I’d really like to find an activity I enjoy just for a source of release. So I guess what I’ve learned over the past few months is that I cannot be beguiled into participating in a physical activity, if I don’t truly enjoy it and find it worth my time. So for now, I guess I’ll simply take comfort in the fact that I’m not a complete couch potato. For instance, I do enjoy taking walks around the block when I’m stumped writing a story, and I do like to go out dancing with friends occasionally on the weekends. That’ll just have to suffice for now.

Bethel school district voters support levies Staff Report

TROY

Bethel Schools officials are breathing easier today. Both the permanent improvement levy and the replacement operating expense levy passed at a special election Tuesday, with just a few percent to spare. The permanent improvement levy is for 2-

mils, and passed with 57 percent for and 43 percent against. It will pay for school maintenance and property repairs. It was renewed in both 2003 and 2007. The 7-mil replacement levy goes toward operating expenses such as school

expenses and staff salaries. That passed at 52 percent for and 48 percent against. With the passage of the replacement levy, homeowners of a $100,000 house will be paying approximately $53.28 extra a year. It will add an extra $270,00 to the district’s annual budget. For more details, visit www.bethellevy.org.

Troy man found guilty of second sex crime BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com A 20-year-old convicted rapist has been convicted of committing another sex crime, this time against a 15-year-old Troy girl. Brent W. Long, 20, of Troy, entered a plea of no contest and was found guilty Tuesday morning in common pleas court of the felony charge of corruption of a minor, which stemmed from a May 22 incident at a Troy home that involved an underage female juvenile. He was scheduled to

TROY take his case to trial Tuesday but changed his plea instead. A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 20. Since Long has previously been convicted of rape, according to court documents, the charge was a second-degree felony that carries a maximum prison sentence of eight years in prison. Originally, Long was charged with unlawful sexual conduct involving a

minor but withdrew his previous not guilty plea in a plea agreement with prosecutors. Police reports state Long and the victim were engaged in consensual sexual relations at the girl’s Troy home when the mother of the victim walked in. After cooperating with the mother after she caught the couple, Long later fled from the home, jumped a fence and wasn’t apprehended until a short time later, reports disclose. He remains behind bars at the Miami County Jail on a $250,000 bond.

Vietnam veteran to speak at fair BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Joining the armed services entails a sacrifice that is unfathomable to most Americans. Vietnam veteran James Miller, 67, hopes to get that message across when he speaks at the Miami County Fair’s Salute to Veterans ceremony on Wednesday, Aug. 15. “First of all, I’m going to tell people they need to understand that a veteran is someone who wrote a blank check to the United States of America for an amount including to and up to their life. How many people would be willing to do that?” said Miller, who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his Vietnam service. Miller said he was motivated to join the armed forces when some of his peers began leaving

the U.S. to avoid being drafted — an action he considered reprehensible. He served as aircraft commander in support of a Special Forces unit and was commended for his bravery in command, exposing himself to heavy enemy fire to deliver supplies to a lone outpost located on the peak of a treacherous mountain. In addition to the Distinguished Flying Cross, Miller earned several awards during his service from February 1967 to February 1968: the Air Medal (with 38 oak leaf clusters), Army Commendation Medal (with “V” device for valor), Good Conduct Medal, National Defense

TROY

MORE INFO: TROY — Salute to Veterans begins at 6 p.m. at the Grandstand, with music by the Troy High School Band starting at 5:30. Events include: • Presentation of Colors by the West Milton American Legion Post No. 487 Honor Guard • National Anthem by the Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal (with three Bronze Service Stars), Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal (with device), Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross (with Palm Unit Citation Badge),two Overseas Service Bars and a Sharpshooter Qualification Badge (with Pistol Bar). Miller pointed out that the

Dan Bullock of the U.S. Marine Corps altered his birth certificate so we could enlist at age 14; he died in combat at age 15. Several other individuals, whose names are also inscribed on the Vietnam Wall,

were only 16 or 17, Miller said. “People don’t know of this stuff because it’s not taught in schools,” he said. “It’s a travesty. When a chance comes along for a person like myself to explain, it’s a good sign for society.” Citizens today also do not fully appreciate their rights protected under the Constitution, he said, adding that America is the last entirely free nation in the world. Though he said those rights are being jeopardized by the current administration. “Like my friend said, ‘If America falls, there’s no place else to go,’” he said. “Our veterans and armed forces have been fighting to maintain that freedom and liberty for the last 236 years.”

Tipp council votes to join push for tax collection uniformity City council voted Monday night to join 23 other cities in the greater Dayton area in the push for income tax collection uniformity. Due to opposition to the state’s proposed centralized income tax collection plan, the state has shifted its focus to uniform income tax collection. In an effort to take the lead in in this matter, the Greater Dayton Mayors and Managers Association analyzed local tax laws and drafted a proposal to eliminate inconsistencies. “The idea here is that the state is going to adopt some sort of legislation creating uniformity across the state and we’d rather be the ones driving the direction that uniformity is going to go than have the state telling us what it’s going to be,” City Manager Jon Crusey said. This proposal has been adopted by 23 cities locally and others statewide,

including Troy, Vandalia, Huber Heights and Springfield. It aims to streamline local tax laws related to income tax collections, enforcement and penalties, making it easier for companies that do business in more than one municipality to file taxes. A key part of the proposal is that member communities must all adopt the same due dates; currently, there is no uniformity regarding due dates. For simplicity’s sake, all communities must make municipal return filings consistent with federal due dates. This is expected to have minimal impact on Tipp City and other communities. Though the resolution adopting the proposal was passed, three council members, Joe Gibson, Bryan Budding and Katelyn Black, all voted against it. “If we’re all uniform it will just make it that much easier, down the road, for the state to centralize collection,” Budding said. During a discussion at the July 16 pre-council

meeting study session, Gibson also voiced his concern about the proposal, saying he believes in sovereignty. Gibson said the city of Tipp City should make its own decisions regarding local taxes. Crusey countered that if the city goes along with the uniform tax plan, it would likely be better than what the state would design, and at least that way the city would have some input. “The problem is, if we do nothing and the state takes the lead on this, we’ll be at the state’s mercy,” Crusey said. Engineering contracts The council also approved several resolutions awarding engineering contracts for five upcoming construction projects. One contract, at a cost of $36,510, was awarded to EMH&T of Columbus for the development of a water master plan. The master plan will identify undersized and underperforming water lines. Another contract, with Arcadis US, Inc. for $59,000, is for the development of a

sanitary sewer master plan. Arcadis is currently working with the Tri-Cities North Regional Wastewater Authority as part of the design team for the Main Street lift station improve-

ments. Council also approved the contract with Korda/Nemeth Engineering at a cost of $72,850 for the design of several water and sewer line replacement proj-

ects. These projects include the Walnut, Warner, and Bowman/Plum, water line replacement projects, as well as the Judith, Michael and Earl water and sewer line replacements.

Encourage your son to remain in therapy

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6 p.m.: Around Troy 6:30 p.m.: Health and Home

Dear Annie: My wife and I have a 23-year-old son who is a heroin addict. "Rob" has been to rehab twice and has relapsed again. We have been attending Nar-Anon meetings for the past eight weeks and find them helpful. Rob seemingly has not hit rock bottom yet. By that, I mean he still has some income due to odd jobs and unemployment benefits. The latter are from a wellpaying job that he lost for obvious reasons, and they won't last much longer. He has a prescription for Suboxone that he gets from a doctor who periodically tests him for drugs. He also sees a psychologist once a month as a part of his treatment. Yet he is still using occasionally. From our Nar-Anon meetings, we are learning that others have it much worse. We also are learning that we are textbook enablers. My wife manages his finances and dispenses his Suboxone, and we allow Rob to live with us, making sure he is fed and clothed. Nar-Anon says to cut all ties until he gets clean. But we are afraid that he will go off the deep end, and we would lose him forever. This kind of tough love scares me. As bad as things are, we are afraid to put the hammer down and throw him out. We also have two younger children, and this isn't doing them any good. What do you think? — Dad in Wisconsin Dear Dad: It is heartbreaking and terrifying to watch your child descend into drug addiction. There is a real risk to your son's life, whether or not you enable him. Many parents have to reach the end of their rope before they are able to toss their child out and live with the consequences. You aren't there yet. Please continue with Nar-Anon and encourage Rob to remain in therapy and to keep seeing his doctor, and if possible, get him into a halfway house so he is not under your roof Dear Annie: I have a question regarding bridal shower etiquette. My brother recently became engaged to his girlfriend. Would it be appropriate to host a bridal shower for my future sister-in-law? — California Dear California: While it used to be improper for relatives to host a shower (too self-serving), it is now OK to do so, especially if the bride lives far away. And if you can include some of the bride's friends as hostesses to spread the responsibility around, that would help. Dear Annie: Your response to "Alone in Minnesota" was right on track: Her husband is a coward and an abuser. Marriage is about respecting each other, and by letting his mother keep her away all these years, he clearly does not respect his wife. When we married, my husband was 27 and I was 20. I knew my mother-in-law interfered in her daughters' marriages and wondered what she would do to us. It took four months. She insisted that we purchase Christmas gifts for my husband's nieces and nephews when we were struggling to pay bills. When I told my husband about this conversation, he immediately got into his car and drove to see Mom. I have no idea what he said to her, but she did not make any attempt to interfere in our marriage for 20 years. Then my in-laws wanted me to talk to my husband's sister and convince her to divorce her husband. I refused and again told my husband. He had another "visit" with his parents, and they didn't speak to him for six months. We now have spent 42 years together, and every day is more wonderful than the last. — Loved and Respected in Michigan Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Any suggestions for how to cut the corn? Dear Heloise: I read the column about cutting hardboiled eggs, fruits for salads and things for side dishes. After reading, I wondered if there is a certain knife or something for cutting fresh corn off the cob. — Laura H. in Louisiana There are products available, such as corn peelers or zippers. As the name states, the peeler is run along the sides of the cob. The zipper is a tool shaped like a circle on the end, and it goes completely over the cob, getting all the kernels off in one pressingdown motion. Here’s a hint to try if you

Hints from Heloise Columnist cannot find or do not want a special tool: Carefully hold the cob on the inside ring of a Bundt cake pan and, using a knife, you can cut the kernels off, allowing them to be caught in the pan. — Heloise FROZEN CILANTRO Dear Heloise: Is there any way to freeze fresh cilantro? I

cannot use it before it spoils, and I would love to have it handy in the freezer. — Gina, via email Gina, I have the same problem. You CAN freeze cilantro, either whole or chopped up! Just be sure you store it in an airtight container. It is not recommended that you thaw cilantro before using, so try freezing it in ice-cube trays with a little water or a favorite stock. When needed, add the entire ice cube to your cooking. When buying cilantro, look for leaves that are dark green in color, firm and crisp. Wash before using (or freezing) in a

bowl of cold water. Gently move it around with your hand to get the dirt particles out of it. Be gentle, because the leaves are fragile. — Heloise SEPARATE PASTA Dear Heloise: I was making goulash for a group of people. As usual, I overmade the hamburger and sauce mixture. I boiled the elbowshaped noodles in a separate pan. This enabled everyone to have as much sauce and noodles as he wanted. I was feeding a group of guys, and they really liked this arrangement. — Debbie K., via email

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Family relations are very sweet and friendly today. You also enjoy doing any kind of redecorating at home, because it will please you to make things look more beautiful. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today it’s easy to appreciate just how much love there is in your daily world. In fact, you also might appreciate how much beauty there is around you. How cool is that? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If shopping today, beware of spending too much on elegant luxury. Of course, if you’re part of the 1 percent and have the dough to blow, that’s your business. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today you feel unusually sympathetic. Because of this, your relations with others will be full of tenderness and understanding. It’s a good day to mend broken fences. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel pleased with yourself today. Because this is like approving of yourself, it’s easier for you to approve of others. (This is how it always works.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Friendships are sweet and reassuring today. You feel grateful to have someone you can turn to. Just be careful you don’t idealize this friend who is also a frail mortal like you. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might develop a crush on a boss, authority figure or even a distant celebrity today. This attraction is not grounded in reality, which makes it particularly seductive. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel for pleasure totally appeals to you today. If you have a chance to travel anywhere, grab it. Your appreciation of beauty also is heightened. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you have feelings of sympathy for the underdog today, be careful that you don’t give away the farm. Meanwhile, romantic intimacy will be sweet and tender (and memorable). CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It’s easy to relate to others today. You have a sense of where they are coming from, and vice versa, which makes a mutual understanding easier. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Look for ways to help co-workers if you can today. Someone needs to confide in you, or a person needs your assistance. (This could also be vice versa.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Love at first sight might take place for some of you. It’s very easy to be starryeyed about someone, because you have Vaseline on your lens today. YOU BORN TODAY You are convincing and a tower of strength to those around you. You are courageous and determined once you have set your goals. You like to be well-prepared and will educate yourself for any endeavor. (You do your homework.) You are also a giving, generous person. Work hard to build or construct something this year because your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Whitney Houston, singer/actress; Sam Elliott, actor; Kevin McKidd, actor. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, Aug. 8, the 221st day of 2012. There are 145 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 8, 1942, during World War II, six Nazi saboteurs who were captured after landing in the U.S. were executed in Washington, D.C.; two others who’d cooperated with authorities were spared. On this date: • In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte set sail for St. Helena to spend the remainder of his days in exile. • In 1963, Britain’s “Great Train Robbery” took place as thieves

made off with 2.6 million pounds in banknotes. • In 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew branded as “damned lies” reports he had taken kickbacks from government contracts in Maryland, and vowed not to resign, which he ended up doing. • In 1974, President Richard Nixon announced his resignation, effective the next day, following damaging new revelations in the Watergate scandal. • Ten years ago: Saddam Hussein organized a big military parade and then warned “the forces

of evil” not to attack Iraq as he sought once more to shift the debate away from world demands that he live up to agreements that ended the Gulf War. • Today’s Birthdays: Actress Esther Williams is 91. Singer Mel Tillis is 80. Actor Dustin Hoffman is 75. Actor Donny Most is 59. TV personality Deborah Norville is 54. Actor-singer Harry Crosby is 54. Rock musician The Edge (U2) is 51. Rapper Kool Moe Dee is 50. Tennis player Roger Federer is 31. Actress Meagan Good is 31. Britain’s Princess Beatrice of York is 24.

Loughner pleads guilty to Arizona shooting offers something for both sides, said Quin Denvir, a California defense attorney who has worked with Loughner attorney Judy Clarke on the case against unabomber Ted Kaczynski. Prosecutors would avoid a potentially lengthy and costly trial and appeal, knowing that the defendant will be locked up for life. Clarke managed to avoid the death penalty for other high-profile clients such as Kaczynski and Eric Rudolph, who bombed abortion clinics in the late 1990s and Atlanta’s Olympic park in 1996. The top prosecutor in southern Arizona’s Pima County said last year that she may file state charges in the case that could carry the death penalty. An official in the prosecutor’s office, Amelia Craig Cramer, declined to comment, saying the office did not have an active prosecution against Loughner. Denvir said it was pos-

Court-appointed pyschologist Christina Pietz testified for an hour about how she believes Loughner became competent. Loughner listened calmly without expression. His arms were crossed over his stomach, lurched slightly forward and looking straight at Pietz. At one point, he smiled and nodded when psychologist mentioned he had a special bond with one of the prison guards. A plea agreement

sible that the plea agreement calls for the state to avoid pursuing criminal charges against Loughner, though that’s not a given. “Ideally (as a defense attorney) you’d like to have it resolved all at once, but sometimes you have to take one at a time,” he said. The decision to spare Loughner a federal death sentence makes sense, said Dale Baich, a federal public defender in Phoenix who handles capital case appeals and isn’t involved in the case. “As time went on and there were numerous

evaluations, I think everybody had a better understanding of Mr. Loughner’s mental illness.” Baich said.

He added: “It appears that he will need to be treated for the rest of his life in order to remain competent.”

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Jared Lee Loughner pleaded guilty Tuesday to going on a shooting rampage at a political gathering, killing six people and wounding 13 others, including his intended target, thenCongresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Loughner’s plea spares him the death penalty and came soon after a federal judge found that months of forcibly medicating him to treat his schizophrenia had made the 23-year-old college dropout competent. At one point, Judge Larry A. Burns asked Loughner if he understood the charges against him and what the government would need to convict him. “Yes, I understand,” Loughner replied. The judge said that Loughner was a different person and that he is able to help his lawyers in his defense. Burns said that observing Loughner in the court left “no question that he understands what’s happening today.” Loughner faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. The outcome was welcomed by some victims, including Giffords herself, as a way to avoid a lengthy, possibly traumatic trial and years of legal wrangling over a death sentence. “The pain and loss caused by the events of

New-look Trojans take field on Friday BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com A new-look Troy football team will be unveiled at 10 a.m. Friday at Troy Memorial Stadium as the Trojans take on Reynoldsburg in their first scrimmage of the season. Since the Troy football team’s season closed last year with a heartbreaking 21-20 loss to Upper Arlington in a Division I, Region 3 playoff contest, much has changed. During the offseason, the Trojans lost head coach Steve Nolan, who retired after 28 seasons and more than 200 wins. Also gone is the nucleus of a team

TROY that made back-to-back playoff appearances. Gone are seven starters from each side of the ball. As far as new head coach Scot Brewer — formerly Troy’s defensive coordinator is concerned — last season already is a distant memory. “We can’t worry about last year,” Brewer said. “That’s the big thing we talk about this year, OPAAT — One Play At A Time. All we’re worried about is the next play. We can’t worry about the last play; we’re only worrying about the next play.”

Brewer said he expects to get a good look at his team against Reynoldsburg, which has become Troy’s traditional scrimmage opener in the past few years. “It’s going to be a tough,” Brewer said. “Reynoldsburg has some serious players. I think we’re going to learn a whole lot about our team. We’ll know a lot more about what we can and can’t do after this scrimmage.” With so many starters gone from last season, Troy will need to get a look at its full roster Saturday. Offensively, key position battles include quarterback, guard, receiver and running back. Defensively, key position battles will be at cornerback, inside line-

The Ohio High School Athletic Association allows schools to play three preseason scrimmages. “We didn’t want to lose an extra day of instruction,” Brewer said of the decision not to add a third scrimmage. “We thought we could get more out of an extra day of instruction than we could out of a scrimmage.” Troy opens the regular season at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 24 against Chaminade-Julienne at Troy Memorial Stadium.

Cincinnati Reds’ Brandon Phillips goes down to one knee after striking out against the Milwaukee Brewers during the fourth inning of a baseball game Tuesday in Milwaukee.

Brewers beat Reds MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brewers rookie Mike Fiers took a perfect game into the seventh inning and Aramis Ramirez hit a two-run homer off Johnny Cueto to lead Milwaukee over the Cincinnati Reds 3-1 on Tuesday night. Fiers (6-4) retired his first 18 batters before Zack Cozart

doubled to left-center leading off the seventh. He advanced to third on a fly ball and scored on Brandon Phillips’ sacrifice fly. The only other hits Fiers gave up were eighth-inning singles to Xavier Paul and Ryan Hanigan. The right-hander struck out pinch-hitter

Ryan Ludwick to get out of the inning and left the field to a standing ovation. Jim Henderson pitched a scoreless ninth for his first career save. It was Milwaukee’s second consecutive win over the NL Central leaders and its fifth straight victory at home.

One pivotal moment Soccer thriller has U.S. glad, Canada bitter MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Abby Wambach was counting. Out loud. Within earshot of the referee. That’s how medals are won, with moments such as those. A wily veteran using a subtle tactic to get the ref to make a call no one ever makes, one that turns the match around. When the game for the gold is all there’s left to play, it’s usually fitting to immediately sweep away the underbrush that preceded it. Not this time. The United States’ semifinal win over Canada in the Olympic women’s soccer tournament was so dramatic — and produced such fiery accusations of bias against the referee from the Canadians — that it’s taking some extra time to digest it all. “It’s definitely draining,” U.S. midfielder Megan Rapinoe said Tuesday before boarding the bus to London, where the Americans will play Japan in the Olympic final on Thursday. “We played

123 minutes. And, on top of that, all the emotion.” The basic facts and bitter words were evident after the 4-3 result at Old Trafford on Monday night. Alex Morgan scored the winning goal in the final minute of extra time, but it was Wambach’s out-loud timekeeping that led to the game’s pivotal moment: Norwegian referee Christiana Pedersen’s decision to whistle the Canadian goalkeeper for holding the ball too long, a call that led to the tying goal for the U.S. in the 80th minute. It’s a rule rarely enforced, akin to an umpire in baseball deciding the batter hit by the pitch didn’t make a sufficient attempt to get out of the way of the ball. It gave the U.S. an indirect kick, which turned into a hand ball, which turned into a AP PHOTO penalty kick. United States’ Megan Rapinoe, right, celebrates with teammate The Canadians were furious.

Manning looking good heading into preseason ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos are treating their visit to Chicago on Thursday night just like any other preseason opener. Only, it isn’t. This marks the fourtime MVP’s first game of any sort since Jan. 30, 2011, when he went 2-for-5 for 12 yards and an interception in the AFC’s 55-41 loss to the NFC in the Pro Bowl. “I think he’s anxious to get in there, just like all of our starters,” coach John Fox said Tuesday. Anybody who wants to see Manning’s first game in 18 months had better tune in early because he won’t

have much more than a cameo appearance at Soldier Field. “Well, we don’t get into how much we’re going to do but we’ll approach it much like any first preseason games,” Fox said. “Our first unit will go the first quarter about and the seconds will go the second and third quarters, and the third will finish out the fourth quarter.” That’s fine with Manning. “We’d like to get a drive or two going,” Manning said. “I’ve always said you love to get a bit of everything in the preseason if you can. You love to get some short-yardage work,

some third-down conversions, you’d love to get some red zone, goal line. In all four games, if you can get all the situations that we work on out here, that would be ideal. “So, however long we play, or whatever Coach Fox wants to do, we’re good with. We just need to play well when we’re out there.” Manning missed all of last season with a nerve injury in his neck that weakened his throwing arm and led to his tearful release from the Indianapolis Colts that set off the biggest free agent frenzy in NFL history. He landed in Denver and hasn’t looked back.

Throughout offseason workouts, minicamp and training camp with the Broncos (No. 10 in the AP Pro32), Manning has had plenty of zip on his passes and he’s been as accurate and cerebral as ever. Even Tuesday, when he had his share of incompletions against an everfirst-string improving, defense, Manning was sharp in his decisions. “I wouldn’t say that,” Manning retorted when asked if it was a frustrating day at practice. “Every day, you’re trying to get better. Certainly, there’s always some things you can improve on.” Although his fused neck

is actually stronger than it was pre-surgery, the next big mile marker in Manning’s comeback is bouncing back from that first big hit. Manning said he has no doubt he is ready to absorb it, although the Broncos aren’t exactly eager to get that blast behind them. “Well, you never want to see your guy the one being hit regardless of position,” Fox said. “But it’s all part of the game. I think he’s definitely preparing himself, and we’ll see how it goes Thursday night.” Manning has spent the last five months learning his new teammates and working on timing with his

new targets, but he is eager to see who steps up in the preseason. “The lights have not been on yet,” Manning said. “We’ve had practices, we had the scrimmage Saturday, which was a game-like atmosphere, but going against a different opponent on Thursday” will provide a better gauge. “So it’s serious business out there on Thursday. There’s jobs being competed for, there’s jobs that people are trying to keep. That’s where all of us have something to play for,” he added. “Sure, you want to win the game, but everybody’s competing, trying to do their jobs well.”

Deadly Durant NBA scoring champ taking aim at gold with U.S. LONDON (AP) — The skinny kid needed a talking to, not a lecture. It was time for a chat to remind him why the U.S. team needed him to be more selfish. Kevin Durant wasn’t listening. So Kobe Bryant spoke to him first. LeBron James followed. “I told him, ‘If we don’t have the K.D. from Oklahoma City on this team then it makes no sense for you to be here,’” James said Tuesday while getting ready for practice. “We need that guy. We need the scoring champ on this team. We got guys who can do everything else, but we need that from him.” James stopped and smiled. “I’m happy,” he said, with a laugh. “He’s doing that.” Doing. Shooting. Scoring. Durant has become the Olympic team’s primary offensive weapon on an American roster filled with those types. James and Carmelo Anthony have scored on a par with him, but the majority of the U.S. team’s offensive sets are designed to get the ball in Durant’s hands. Monday night, On Durant scored 28 points, including 17 during a torrid third quarter of deadly outside shooting, as the U.S. outslugged Argentina 12697 in a rough game that included accusations of punches and cheap shots. Durant’s performance was just what the Americans had been waiting for from the modest 23year-old. For weeks, U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski, his staff and Durant’s teammates have been urging him to shoot more, to score more and to dominate the way he did in leading the Thunder to the finals this season. Durant, though, has been reluctant, almost afraid. It’s not his nature to be forceful. “I don’t want to step on nobody’s toes,” he said. “The last thing I want is for guys to say ‘All right, it’s time for you to stop shooting.’ But they get on me so much for not shooting when I’m wide open.” Bryant was one of the most vocal. After seeing Durant pass up too many open looks instead of stepping up and shooting a 3pointer, Bryant pulled

America’s Kevin Durant reacts after hitting a three point basket during a preliminary men’s basketball game against Argentina at the 2012 Summer Olympics Monday in London. Durant aside. His advice was simple. “Just do me,” Durant said. “He told me to do what I do. Coming from one of the greatest players to ever play, I’ll take that.” Durant has been inspired ever since — he’s averaging 18.6 points and shooting a mind-blowing 61 percent (20 of 33) on 3-pointers in five games. He’ll need to stay motivated if the U.S., which plays Australia in the quarterfinals on Tuesday, intends to win a second straight Olympic gold. After James softened up Argentina’s defense inside early in the third quarter, Durant was the one who buried the South Americans by making five 3-pointers in the third quarter. One was longer than the next, and every time Durant prepared to shoot, players on the U.S. bench stood and grabbed each other’s arms

in excited anticipation before dancing, waving towels or in Andre Iguodala’s case, diving on the floor when his shots splashed through the net. The Americans threw a similar bench party a few nights earlier when Anthony made a record 10 3s in an 83-point win over defenseless Nigeria. “That gives you more confidence than seeing your shot go in,” Durant said of the sideline support. “Seeing these All-Stars and these champions and these guys that carry franchises and cities on their backs, to see them cheer for you like that, that gives me the ultimate confidence to go out there and play hard.” Yet he makes it look so easy. Durant glides around the floor, his slender, 7-footframe gracefully moving across the hardwood like a

ballroom dancer. There is no wasted movement, no awkward starts and stops. Durant’s size allows him to shoot over defenders, giving him an unobstructed view of the rim. And when he sets his feet and takes aim from long range, Durant simply flicks his wrist and the ball is away — smooth, seamless. “A 3-pointer to him is shot like a free throw,” Iguodala said. “It’s effortless for him.” Durant’s just getting started. The U.S. team’s leading scorer on the 2010 world championship team, he averaged 28 points per game last season for the Thunder. In just five years as a pro, he’s already scored 9,978 points. By comparison, Bryant scored only 6,178 in his first five seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.

BEREA (AP) — Trent Richardson may miss his first game for the Cleveland Browns. The highly regarded rookie was not in pads, his left leg was wrapped, and he did not participate in practice at all on Tuesday. “There’s a chance he won’t play on Friday,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “He’s got a sore knee and is being evaluated.” It could be the result of going full-bore the past two weeks on a knee that was surgically repaired this spring. That’s one of the reasons Richardson did not fully participate in the NFL combine in April. “It was a little scope,” Richardson said at the time of what was termed minor surgery. “I don’t even call it a setback.” It didn’t keep Cleveland from trading up to No. 3 in the draft to select the tailback who helped lead Alabama to the national championship. And it didn’t prevent the Browns from signing Richardson to a

four-year, $20.5 million contract. “I’m always concerned about injuries,” Shurmur said. “He’s been practicing well. We’ll just have to see where he is.” Richardson has been quite impressive in camp, displaying quickness and toughness. He did miss practice time last week with what Shurmur said was a headache. Richardson, starting tight end Ben Watson and a few others limited by various ailments rode stationary bicycles as the team went through regular drills on Tuesday. Shurmur didn’t seem as worried about Watson, who missed time last season with a concussion. He stopped short of saying the nine-year pro would play when Cleveland opens the preseason Friday in Detroit. “He’s doing fine,” Shurmur said. “He’ll be back out here soon. We’re dealing with some soft tissue (issues).”

Indians’ streak at 11 with defeat CLEVELAND (AP) — Tsuyoshi Nishioka’s sacrifice fly scored the go-ahead run in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins rallied for a 7-5 victory over the Cleveland Indians, sending the Indians to their 11th straight loss. Minnesota scored

three times off All-Star closer Chris Perez (0-4), who blew his second save opportunity in three days. The Indians led 5-1 after six innings, but two errors in the seventh and another in the ninth helped Minnesota rally for its fifth win in six games.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Coach John Herdman: “The ref, she will have to sleep in bed tonight after watching the replay. She’s gonna have to live with that. We will move on from this. I wonder if she will be able to.” Forward Christine Sinclair: “We feel like it was taken away from us. It’s a shame in a game like that, which is so important, that the ref decided the result

before the game started.” Goalkeeper Erin McLeod: “I think the referee was very one-sided.” Soccer governing FIFA is weighing disciplinary action against Canada for those remarks. Regardless, when such serious allegations are made, it’s imperative to look closely at what happened. The goalkeeper is supposed to control the ball with her hands, including bouncing it to herself, for no

more than six seconds. In many ways, it’s a laughable rule: U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo is one of the quickest in the game at getting rid of the ball, but it’s not unusual to see her go over that limit. But McLeod pushed the rule to the extreme. The first time she caught the ball Monday night — off a deflected header — she held it for 17 seconds before punting it away. A couple of minutes later, she controlled it

for 16 seconds. There was another 16-second possession later in the half as she cradled the ball, gave it a bounce, walked forward and directed traffic. “Their plan is to slow down the game,” U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said. “If I put myself in (their coach’s) shoes, it’s about game management, slow down the game and you feel like you have a chance to win against the States.”

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 paced by the solid play of Jonathon Accurso and Alex Brewer. Accurso came up with an interception, while Alex Brewer was credited with putting some good pressure on the Lehman quarterback. “We did some good things and some bad things,” Miami East coach Max Current said. “It was a typical first scrimmage. This was only

the third day of hitting, so we were able to get some good looks at what we are capable of. These first couple scrimmages are all about finding out who is able to make plays. We are trying to figure out who is going to be playing on Friday nights.” The Vikings play at home on Friday against Springfield Central Catholic.

Deal in place for Padres By the Associated Press A group that includes Los Angeles former Dodgers owner Peter O’Malley and pro golfer Phil Mickelson reached agreement Monday to buy the San Diego Padres from John Moores in a deal believed to be around $800 million. Ron Fowler, chief executive of Liquid Investments, would become controlling owner if the agreement is approved by baseball owners and finalized, a baseball official said Tuesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because that part of the deal was not announced. O’Malley is the son of Walter O’Malley, who bought the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1950 and moved them to Los Angeles before the 1958 season. “An agreement has been confirmed but is not yet finalized. It has to be voted on,” Padres senior vice president, public affairs Sarah Farnsworth said after San Diego beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 Monday night.

Dodge to pull out of NASCAR By the Associated Press Faced with the impending defection of its main partner in stock car racing, Dodge has decided to withdraw from NASCAR competition at the end of this season. The decision announced Tuesday impacts Dodge’s involvement in both the Sprint Cup Series and Nationwide Series. Penske Racing currently fields two Dodge Chargers in Sprint Cup and two Dodge Challengers in Nationwide, but Penske announced in February that it was switching to Fords for the 2013 season, leaving Dodge in the lurch.

PGA ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 As if he needed a reminder. This suddenly has become familiar territory for Woods. The PGA Championship is his last chance this year to resume pursuit of the record 18 professional majors won by Jack Nicklaus. The number associated with Woods is 14, not only is that how many majors he has won, this is the 14th major he has played since winning his last one. He was tied for the lead halfway through the U.S. Open until stumbling to a 75-73 weekend at Olympic Club and not even cracking the top 20. He was in the penultimate group at the British Open, only to lose momentum with a triple bogey on the sixth hole of the final round. That used to constitute failure. Now it’s progress. “I’m pleased at the way I was able to play at certain times, and obviously disappointed that I did not win,” Woods said. “I’ve played in three major championships this year, and I didn’t win any of them. That’s the goal. I was there at the U.S. Open after two days, and I was right there with a chance at the British Open. Things have progressed, but still, not winning a major championship doesn’t feel very good.”

U.S. hammers Canada to reach semifinals game LONDON (AP) — The defense was stifling, even suffocating at times. The U.S. women put on a clinic Tuesday, forcing the Canadians to take bad shots or not allowing them to shoot at all. The Americans, who cruised into the semifinals of the Olympic basketball tournament with a 91-48 rout, harassed Canada into three shotclock violations in the first 7 minutes. “It’s one thing to miss a shot, but to not be able to get a shot off says a lot about your defense,” U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said. “It’s a double whammy. It brings your team closer together because it took all five guys to create that and takes the life out of the offense of the other team.”

“Maybe we should do ‘Needham’s double golden girl,’” store owner Jack McQuillan said Tuesday. The store has new red, white and blue T-shirts to sell with “Needham loves Aly.” “We’re so excited for her and her family,” McQuillan said. Raisman won gold about an hour after snagging bronze on balance beam. She originally placed fourth in beam, but her coach appealed the difficul-

ty component of her 14.966 score. Judges raised her score to 15.066, tying her with Romania’s Catalina Ponor, but Raisman’s higher execution score earned her the bronze. Jerry Wasserman, chairman of Needham’s Board of Selectmen, had yet to hear of Raisman’s gold- and bronze-winning routines before The Associated Press contacted him. His reaction: “Wow. Isn’t that marvelous?”

LONDON (AP) — For Usain Bolt, there are bigger things to come. For some of the runners lucky or unlucky enough to race against him in 200-meter qualifying Tuesday, this was the highlight of the Olympics. Bolt opened defense of his 200-meter title with a stressfree first-round heat of 20.39 seconds, a race in which he powered to the lead early, then eased up to a jog over the final 80 meters. “I was taking it as easy as possible. It’s my first (200) run. I’m looking forward to tomorrow,” said Bolt, who runs in the semifinals today as he tries to become the only man with two Olympic titles in the 200. The first round was a predictably nonchalant moment for The World’s Fastest Man, though it held more significance for Isiah Young of the United States, the runner who lined up next to him in the day’s first heat. “It was different. He’s more experienced,” said Young, the 22-year-old who finished third to advance to the semifinals. “He knows how to get through this round. I don’t think he was all-out at all. I think he was in cruise control.”
