Area man arrested for sex charges Staff Reports

Eclipse crosses over Asia Millions of Asians watched as a rare “ring of fire” eclipse crossed their skies early Monday.

The annular eclipse, in which the moon passes in front of the sun leaving only a golden ring around its edges, was visible to wide areas across the continent. It will move across the Pacific and also be seen in parts of the western United States.

In Japan, “eclipse tours” were arranged at schools and parks, on pleasure boats and even private airplanes.

Similar events were held in China and Taiwan as well.

A man with an outstanding warrant for sex charges in Lucas County that include children was arrested Friday in Troy.

Bradley Mangen, 32, currently is being held at the Miami County Jail after being arrested by Troy Police when a woman alerted officials about the outstanding warrant in Lucas County prior to a child visitation exchange.

According to reports, Mangen just recently moved to Troy from

NATO shifts to help peace President Barack Obama and NATO allies declared Sunday that the end of the long and unpopular Afghanistan war is in sight even as they struggled to hold their fighting force together in the face of dwindling patience and shaky unity.

From his hometown and the city where his re-election operation hums, Obama spoke of a post-2014 world when “the Afghan war as we understand it is over.” Until then, though, remaining U.S. and allied troops face the continued likelihood of fierce combat.

Gen. John Allen, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, offered a stern warning Sunday that the plan to give Afghan forces the lead in fighting next summer won’t take coalition troops out of harm’s way.

SANT’AGOSTINO DI FERRARA, Italy (AP) — A magnitude-6.0 earthquake shook several small towns in northeast Italy, killing four people, knocking down a clock tower and other centuries-old buildings and causing millions in losses to the region known for making Parmesan cheese.

The quake struck at 4:04 a.m. Sunday, with its epicenter about 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of Bologna at a relatively shallow depth of 5 kilometers (3.2 miles), the U.S. STAFF PHOTOS/ANTHONY WEBER Geological Survey said. performs “Bring Him Home” during A Celebration of Civil protection agency official Adriano Gumina described it as the worst quake to hit the region since the 1300s.

The four people killed were factory workers on the overnight shift when their buildings, in three separate locations, collapsed, agency chief Franco Gabrielli said. In addition, he said, two women died — apparently of heart attacks that may have been sparked by fear.

Thursday, according to the court’s online records. In an indictment returned by a grand jury on Wednesday, Mangen is accused of raping a child younger than 10 years old at some time between November 2003 and November 2004. According to reports, the Lucas County prosecutors asked a court to order blood tests for Mangen to determine whether he has a venereal disease or is a carrier of the virus that causes AIDS. Mangen remains in the Miami County Jail.

Four years ago, Current left Troy High School as one of the school’s most celebrated football recruits of the past decade. A first team All-Ohio performer as a senior, the 6-foot-3, 300-pound Current was ranked by several recruiting services as one of the top 50 offensive linemen in the nation.

Those other moments in time

• CONTINUED FROM A1 starting line-up. As he languished in the training room, healthy players — every bit as talented as Current — passed him on the depth chart.

“Playing football in college really opened up my eyes about a lot of things,” Current said. “It’s not what the media makes it out to be. It’s really glorified by a lot of people — but a lot of times, it’s really not.

Injuries hindered me my entire career. It’s not like in high school where you’re the star of the team and if you get hurt, as soon as you get healthy you’ve got your spot waiting for you when get back. If you get injured, they’ve got guys waiting to take your place. They aren’t going to sit around and wait for you. In college, they don’t need to.”

While Current never realized his full potential on the football field, however, he did reach his full potential in the classroom. Last December, Current graduated with a major in history and a minor in European studies.

This summer, he’ll start graudate school at the University of Wisconsin, where he’ll study student-affairs administration, with an eye toward eventually becoming the dean of a college program.

With his football career over and no hopes of ever playing professionally, Current said he’s glad he studied hard all four years in college and had a back-up plan when his dreams of gridiron glory never panned out the way he had hoped.

He said he’s seen a number of former teammates who didn’t put quite the same amount of time into their studies, didn’t get drafted — and now have no idea what their future holds.

“That’s a big problem now,” Current said.

“When you’re a freshman, everyone is a stud coming out of high school.

You’ve always got people chirping in your ear, saying, ‘You are going to do this and you are going to do that.’ My freshman class had 26 guys in it — now there are only 12 left. I used to tell guys all

the time, ‘You’ve got to have a back-up plan.’

Obvioously everyone has dreams, but what do you do if they don’t work out?

What happens if you suffer a knee injury on the second-to-last play of practice like I did? It can be over that fast. That’s why you need to focus on your studies, no matter what kind of player you are.”

While his football career never quite turned out as he had hoped, Current said he has no regrets on or off the field.

“How could I? I’m on, in my opinion, the best campus in the world,” he said. “I’ve received the best education I could possibly receive. I’ve made friends with some really, really great people.

And I was a part of a great football team that went to two Rose Bowls.

Our senior class won more games than any other in school history and I got to be a part of that.

“That’s the thing I’m going to miss most about football, is the comaraderie. I got so used to being around the guys all the time — in practice, in meetings, in the weight room. Now I’m lucky if I see them for five minutes a couple of times per week.”

Still, though, with his future in graduate school and, eventually, college administration set and his playing days behind him, Current said there’s been a huge weight lifted his shoulders — literally and figuratively.

At his biggest, Current tipped the scales at 315 pounds.

Since the season ended with the Rose Bowl in January, he’s already dropped to 277 pounds — and would eventually like to get down to the 250pound range.

Figuratively, too, he’s found a whole new world outside of football.

“I’ve got so much free time now,” he said. “I was so used to living a structured lifestyle. Between football practice, weightlifting, study tables and team meetings, every minute of my day was planned out. Now I can dictate what I do — I’m the master of my day’s destiny.”

Every day for the rest of his life.

• CONTINUED FROM A1 “This is immense damage, but the worst part is we lost two people,” fellow worker Stefano Zeni said. News reports said one of the dead had worked the shift of an ill colleague. Elsewhere in the town, another worker was found dead under factory rubble.

In the town of Ponte Rodoni di Bondeno, a worker also died as his factory collapsed, emergency workers told Italian news agencies.

Premier Mario Monti, in Chicago for the NATO summit, told reporters he was returning to Italy before the meeting ends because of the quake.

The quake struck in the farm region known for production of Parmigiano and Grana cheeses. Italy’s farm lobby Coldiretti said that some 200,000 huge, round cheeses were damaged, causing a loss to producers of €50 million ($65 milion).

It also said in a statement that at least three barn roofs collapsed, trapping an unspecified number of pigs and milk cows inside. Emilio Bianco, receptionist at Modena’s Canalgrande hotel — housed in an ornate 18th-century palazzo — said the quake “was a strong one, and it lasted quite a long time.”

The hotel suffered no damage and the Modena province itself was spared, but guests spilled into the streets as soon as the quake hit, he said.

In Sant’Agostino. resident Alberto Fiorini said there was “pandemonium” during the night. “I took shelter under the bed and I prayed,” he said.

Mohamed Atzerc, also from Sant’Agostino, said he had feared for the

“I can tell you I spent a lot of time with this piece. It touches you. It moves you,” he said.

Stephen Larck, president of the museum, said Sunday’s program served as a reminder that Americans must not forget the price others have paid for our freedom.

“Today we’re here to honor and celebrate these heroes,” Larck said, adding that the audience should leave with “a renewed sense of pride and patriotism.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the big trading loss at JPMorgan Chase shows the need to finally put in place banking rules he signed into law two years ago. He also is calling on Congress to stop trying to weaken the regulations.

The $2 billion loss has renewed calls by Democratic lawmakers for tougher rules on major financial institutions.

“Without Wall Street reform, we could have found ourselves with the taxpayers once again on the hook for Wall Street’s mis- OBAMA takes,” Obama said in his weekly media address Saturday. He added: “We’ve got to finish the job of implementing this reform and putting these rules in place.”

Obama promoted rules that would require big banks or financial institutions to have more cash on hand to cover losses and that would take away big bonuses and paydays from failed CEOs. The president said financial institutions that “aren’t cheating customers or making risky bets that could damage the whole economy” have nothing to fear from reforms.

“Yes, it discourages big banks and financial institutions from making risky

bets with taxpayer-insured money. And it encourages them to do things that actually help the economy — like extending loans to entrepreneurs with good ideas, to middle-class families who want to buy a home, to students who want to pursue higher education,” he said.

Though Congress passed the tougher oversight of the financial sector in 2010, the law gave bank regulators time to write the new rules.

One focus of the financial oversight overhaul is a provision that restricts banks’ ability to trade for their own profit, a practice known as proprietary trading.

It is named for Paul Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman. But a draft of the rule has failed to satisfy either banks, which says it would disrupt some of their core functions, or advocates of stronger regulation who say it would have prevented JPMorgan’s loss.

In the Republican’s weekly address, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson faulted what he called a “do-nothing Senate” under Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada for the frustrations he said he has felt in his 16 months in Congress.

safety of his three small children.

“They were crying. A wardrobe collapsed in front of the door. The light went out and I thought that everything was collapsing on my children,” who were unharmed, he said.

Many people were still awake at 4 a.m. and milling about town since stores and restaurants were open all night.

The epicenter was between the towns of Finale Emilia, San Felice sul Panaro and Sermide, but the quake was felt as far away as Tuscany and northern Alto Adige.

One woman on the outskirts of Finale Emilia told Sky her 5-year-old daughter was trapped on her bed by the bricks of a 14th-century tower that toppled onto their home.

Firefighters and other rescuers freed the child without a scratch after two hours. A supporting beam had protected her from falling rubble, rescuers and the mother said.

Nearly 12 hours after the quake, a sharp aftershock alarmed the residents of Sant’Agostino di Ferrara and knocked off part of a wall of city hall. The building already had been pummeled by the predawn quake, which left a gaping hole on one side of it.

The same aftershock knocked down most of the clock tower in the town of Finale Emilia, injuring a firefighter and leaving only half the clock affixed. Sky TG24 showed the firefighter lying in the street near the rubble. The national geophysics institute assigned an initial magnitude of 5.1 to the aftershock.

The quake Sunday came as Italy was still reeling from Saturday’s bombing that killed a 16-year-old girl at a school in the country’s south.

Hidden Places: The Bunker Have you ever had a secret? Did someone ever tell you a secret that you had to keep? What about having a secret that you would have to keep for many, many years? Wouldn’t that be hard to do?

In the late 1950s the United States government approached a resort nestled in the West Virginia Mountains to be an emergency relocation center for the Congress of the United States in case of nuclear war. The classified, underground facility was named “Project Greek Island.” Isn’t it amazing that this legislative branch housing was right under our feet of a beautiful hotel called The Greenbrier, and nobody knew it? They could live there without any outside air for 72 hours; 60 days if ventilation was provided. They had everything they needed from food and supplies to radio and TV stations to help keep the government running in case of emergency. This structure was called “The Bunker.” It was under construction from 1958 to 1961. It had 53 rooms on two levels measuring 112,544 square feet. The bunker was comprised of meeting rooms, 18 dormitories that could sleep 60 people to a full stocked kitchen and a clinic that covered 600 square feet with 12 beds, an operating

and intensive care room. After it was completed it was constantly maintained in a state of readiness. This was the best kept secret for 30 years until a reporter for The Washington Post

uncovered the bunker in a 1992 story.

The government decommissioned the bunker, and it is now a tourist attraction at the Greenbrier Resort. Isn’t that the best kept secret?

The Ghost in the Courthouse Statue Written by Bill Bailey Illustrated by Michelle Duckworth Chapter 8 Space alien gets healthy greeting

fooling around, earthlings."

But one guy to the side of me must've seen the tiny flashlight. He ran forward and tore it out of my hand.

Holding it high as he turned it off, he announced, "Fire's out. No need to call the fire department."

The crowd erupted in laughter now, mixed with loud jeers.

"Hurry. Get in the saucer," Jake said through my earpiece.

I raced to the spaceship, lifted the lid, and got inside, waving to the crowd as we had planned. Irene, from our staff, stepped forward and took a photo, catching my wave for the newspaper.

I slammed down the hatch, and a chunk of the spaceship fell off. "Hey, that piece of junk's made of Styrofoam!" someone hollered. That brought more laughter.

Suddenly, a tomato bounced off the metal hatch of the spaceship. A kid had thrown it at me! Gradually, the grinning crowd began to surround the saucer, produce in hand. I could see where this was heading.

"Pull me up!" I yelled to Jake. He tugged on the rope to hoist me. But it got caught on a knot in the tree. So, I hung there, the saucer swinging back and forth, just three feet off the ground.

I turned to the ghost in the statue.

"Felix, do something!" No response. A few seconds passed with me dangling there helplessly. Felix must have meant it when he said I was on my own.

Splat. Splat. Kids – and even some grown-ups – had started tossing fruits, veggies, eggs, and spoonfuls of sticky jelly at the spaceship.

"I'm in a food blizzard! Beam me up! Now!!" I yelled to Jake.

Overhead I saw his hand reach through the branches and slip the rope off the knot on the limb. Several townspeople saw it, too.

Jake yanked me higher, as a barrage of eggs, tomatoes, squash, lemons, oranges, and strawberry jelly splattered the saucer, painting it a rainbow of colors. The crowd disappeared from view, as the spaceship pushed through a fan of leaves high in the oak tree.

Jake tugged on the rope, pulling the saucer from the tree onto the courthouse roof, several feet from the clock tower.

He popped open the lid and helped me

out. Standing on the roof, I was again exposed to the food-throwers below. They launched another round of vegetables my way.

Ducking a cucumber, my space alien mask fell off, revealing my face. I glanced below and saw my school tormentors staring in amazement to discover it was me. "It's Donnie Dum Dum!" yelled Rodger.

"Knock him off the roof," yelled Shannon. With an ornery grin, Monty reared back and heaved an eggplant.

"Get down!" Jake yelled, jerking me to my knees just as Monty's oblong missile bounced off the saucer, leaving a purple splotch.

Using the saucer as a shield, Jake and I inched our way up the slanted courthouse roof, trying to get behind the clock tower. But another avalanche of flying food pinned us there, unable to move.

Just as things were going from bad to horrible, I heard a beautiful sound – police sirens. Police Chief Charlie Banks and his men vroomed onto the courthouse square, blue lights flashing.

Jumping out of their cars, they quieted the crowd and ordered everyone to go home.

Taking one last look before we scooted to safety behind the tower, I saw Sheriff Matlock on the edge of the crowd, puffing on a cigar.

Mom had explained to me how the town of Jefferson was the police chief's responsibility and the county was the sheriff's. So I figured Sheriff Matlock was just here to watch the fun.

Pointing at me, he was sharing a laugh with a dark-haired woman and a man in a flashy suit.

I figured they must be the people Mom always called "the sheriff's posse." I knew they were

shady characters, and it gave me chills for them to know anything about me.

The following Monday, another shady group made sure everybody in school knew I was the fake space guy. Painted on my locker in giant, florescent red letters was "Space Alien Lives Here!"

I opened the locker and took off my backpack to shove some books inside. When I turned around, it seemed like the entire student body had jammed in close around me.

"Watch out, everybody!" Monty said. "It's that space freak, Mardvark."

"He'll blast you with his ray gun," Shannon added.

Everyone laughed. Several mimicked my metallic space alien voice, with comments like, "May the force be with you," and "Beam me up, Scotty!"

"Hey, where's your dorky spacesuit, anyway?" Rodger asked, jerking my backpack out of my hands and spilling my books and papers onto the floor. Monty booted the books down the hall into the crowd of stampeding feet. I shuffled after them, as kids kicked them around like they were playing soccer.

As I reached for my science book, Shannon swung his leg back to kick it away. But another hand swept the book off the floor and gave it to me. It was Lolly, the last person on earth I would've wanted to see me like this. Her smile was sweet but sad.

It was the worst school day I ever had. And I felt sure the only way things would get better would be if I could somehow connect with Felix again. That was going to happen sooner than I could imagine.

STORY SO FAR: When the strange turnip that Jake featured in the newspaper starts to fly and speak to a crowd of onlookers, Jake quickly sells out of papers. He thinks Donnie has created the turnip stunt and makes him assistant editor. However, Donnie knows it was Felix's ghost who did it. When Felix tells Donnie he's through helping out, Donnie worries he may not be up to this new job. His first task as assistant editor is to pretend he's a space alien.

I felt pretty ridiculous, standing in front of the French Castle courthouse in a shiny silver costume, with tinfoil antennas sticking out of my space alien mask. Behind me sat a flying saucer we had built out of Styrofoam and sprayed with silver paint the night before.

It was Saturday, farmer's market day, and folks were buying fruit, vegetables, jellies, and eggs from food stands and also out of the backs of trucks parked along the north side of the courthouse square. It seemed I was the only one there without some kind of food in my hands.

The crowd was starting to notice and point at me. Hiding overhead in a tall oak tree, Jake spoke through his headset into my earphone, telling me what to say.

"Greetings, earthlings, I am Mardvark from the galaxy Zenos," I said through a microphone, in a high-pitched, nasal voice. "I come in peace."

"That's sure a relief," a man said. Light laughter ran through the crowd that had started to gather in front of me.

I thrust an arm dramatically toward the courthouse. "When I saw your magnificent building, I knew it must be The White House....

I have stopped to talk with the leader of your United States... concerning eminent danger to your planet."

"You're a little off course, aardvark," yelled a heckler.

I pulled out a cell phone and pretended to dial a number.

Talking into the phone, I said in a metallic monotone, "Please inform President Obama that I am running late.... And be sure to tell him... I come in peace." Covering the phone with a hand, I told the crowd, "I do not want your leader to fear me."

"I'm sure he's shaking in his boots," a man said, drawing more laughs.

Jake told me through my earphone to use a deeper voice. "I chose a turnip to warn you," I said, speaking as deeply as I could. "But apparently you are ignorant and doomed to destruction." Jake thought that linking the flying turnip to my alien character would make both events seem more believable.

"Do you mean... you were behind the flying turnip?" a woman asked.

It was time to show folks that this space alien was someone to be feared, not laughed at.

I also wanted to impress Jake that he'd made the right choice for assistant editor.

"That was my nice side," I said, without Jake's help. "If you refuse to listen, I will melt your faces off and burn this town to the ground." Clutched inside my tinfoil glove, hidden from view, was a penlight. Making an eerie, whirring noise, I pointed my finger at her, shining the light at her face.

"Help! It's blinding me!" she screamed.

I heard scared gasps and cries.

Getting carried away, I added, "I'm not

ANALYSIS

Romney likes Clinton better than Obama By the Associated Press Mitt Romney was against Bill Clinton before he was for him.

There was Romney, campaigning Tuesday in Iowa, praising the nation’s last Democratic president and casting him as far superior to the current incumbent.

“Almost a generation ago, Bill Clinton announced that the era of big government was over,” Romney declared. “Clinton was signaling to his own party that Democrats should no longer try to govern by proposing a new program for every problem.” President Obama, he said, “tucked away the Clinton doctrine in his large drawer of discarded ideas.”

So you might assume that Romney likes Clinton. But that would be wrong. Scrambling during the GOP primaries this year to explain why he had voted in the 1992 Massachusetts Democratic presidential primary for the late Sen. Paul Tsongas, Romney invoked that old GOP standby: Clinton hatred.

“In my state of Massachusetts, you could register as an independent and go vote in (whichever) primary happens to be very interesting,” Romney averred. “And any chance I got to vote against Bill Clinton or Ted Kennedy, I took.”

Now, strictly speaking, I suppose that Romney can praise Clinton now while once having voted against him. Or he can claim that while he prefers Clinton to Obama, he preferred Tsongas to Clinton. That so much of what Romney says requires such careful parsing suggests how little he feels bound by anything he has said in the past. For Romney, every day is a blank slate. Consistency, he seems to think, is the hobgoblin of losing campaigns.

There is more here than casual flip-flopping. Romney says that he likes Clinton’s view of government better than Obama’s. And it’s true that government’s share of the economy grew under Obama because he inherited a downturn and baby boomers got older.

But what about taxes? According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, government receipts as a share of gross domestic product rose from 17.5 percent in 1992, the year Clinton was elected, to 20.6 percent in 2000, his last full year in office. By contrast, government receipts as a share of GDP were just 15.4 percent in 2011. Which numbers make Romney happier?

The top income tax rate under Clinton, for incomes over $250,000, was 39.6 percent. Obama wants to go back to the Clinton rate.

Romney wants to cut the top rate from its current 35 percent to 28 percent. Who is Clinton’s real heir?

And Obama would not restore all of the Clinton tax rates. He wants to raise only the top one. In principle, Obama favors lower taxes on middle-income Americans than Clinton did. By this measure, Obama is less “pro-government” than Clinton.

You can make the same case on health care. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that Obama signed in 2010 is less adventurous and less government-oriented than the health plan Clinton proposed in the early 1990s. Obama’s law is based on many Republican ideas, including the individual mandate that Romney supported when he was governor of Massachusetts. Clinton, to the consternation of conservatives, was for a mandate on businesses.

It’s revealing that Romney made his pro-Clinton comments on the same day that — speaking to reporters as elevator doors were closing on him — former President George W. Bush announced, “I’m for Mitt Romney.” Funny that Romney made a bigger deal about Clinton than about that Bush endorsement. Yet Republicans, including Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan, Wis., categorically reject the lessons that Clinton taught.

The sweet smell of success ... and other things Today’s adventure starts out with a quote from American poet Diane Ackerman: “Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains.”

You know, she’s right.

There are certain songs that bring back memories for me.

Certain places remind me of my childhood. There are even some things I can taste that make me think of past events.

Ah, but the smells … there’s something about a certain scent borne on a breeze that opens vistas of the past.

Spring has a lot of those scents that bring back my childhood every year. The smell of blooming lilacs. The smell of grass the first time it’s mowed (this smell loses its charm as the year goes on). The damp smell of the air on a spring morning.

You might take these things for granted, but if you lived in, say, New York City, you wouldn’t have the same kinds of memories.

Smells like that come back every year. There are others I

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist can remember even though I don’t think they ever can be recreated.

Here’s one: when I was in high school, Troy played all its home basketball games at Hobart Arena. When you walked in the door the arena has this particular smell that was a combination of mildew and the hot potato sticks they sold at the concession stand. When I smelled that smell, I knew the game was on! I don’t suppose you get the same kind of aroma these days since the arena has been renovated.

But I’ll never forget it.

Here’s another one from those days: there was a certain girl in high school that sometimes wore this special perfume. It smelled like carnations. It hardly was

fair – I mean, just looking at her was enough for a teenage guy with problems related to confidence and hormones, but then she’d top that off with those carnations. I used to follow her around the halls at school just to drink in the smell. I still remember it.

There are others, of course, but I try not to remember things like the boys’ locker room.

Of course, as time goes on new smells created new images.

Here’s the one that has made the biggest impression on me recently. I often ride my bike on the bike path on Dye Mill Road. In the morning, when the air is crisp and the sun has just come up and there’s a little wisp of fog here and there, it’s a beautiful sight.

There is one certain place on the bike path with its own peculiar scent. It happens right around the Troy sewage treatment plant. It’s not all together pleasant, of course, but it is distinctive. But in itself it’s not memorable.

It’s only on certain days when the wind is blowing just right that the gentle fragrance of the treatment plants joins forces

with the aroma of Slim Jims being turned out by the thousands at the Con Agra plant down the road. This combination of olfactory delights at 7 a.m. is more than just memorable. It’s an inspiration – to ride faster.

Maybe they could plant a few hundred lilac bushes around there to help out.

Actually, it’s not all that bad, and it just makes you appreciate the clean smell of the air on other parts of the path. I wouldn’t have it any other way – the smell of Slim Jims is the smell of progress these days around here, and I’m all for it.

I’m sure you can think of a lot of smells that bring back memories for you. When you, consider the following quote, from another famous poet – well, not exactly a poet. Actually, golfer Ben Hogan said it, but he did know something about smelling freshly mown grass, which on a golf course has its own special aroma: “As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.”

OBITUARIES

NATO shifts to help an elusive Afghanistan peace CHICAGO (AP) — President Barack Obama and NATO allies declared Sunday that the end of the long and unpopular Afghanistan war is in sight even as they struggled to hold their fighting force together in the face of dwindling patience and shaky unity.

From his hometown and the city where his re-election operation hums, Obama spoke of a post-2014 world when “the Afghan war as we understand it is over.” Until then, though, remaining U.S. and allied troops face the continued likelihood of fierce combat.

Gen. John Allen, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, offered a stern warning Sunday that the plan to give Afghan forces the lead in fighting next summer won’t take coalition troops out of harm’s way. “It doesn’t mean that we won’t be fighting,” Allen

said. “It doesn’t mean that there won’t be combat.”

The fate of the war is both the center of this summit and a topic no one is celebrating as a mission accomplished. The alliance already has one foot out the Afghanistan door, Obama has his ear attuned to the politics of an economy-driven presidential election year and other allies are pinching pennies in a European debt crisis.

As NATO powers and other nations contributing to the war effort gathered, the alliance’s top officer, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, asserted that “there will be no rush for the exits” in Afghanistan. “Our goal, our strategy, our timetable remain unchanged,” he said.

In fact, the strategy has shifted many times over the course of more than 10 years of war, and the goal narrowed to objectives focused on the long-term

security of the mostly Western nations fighting there.

The timetable has also moved, despite the overall commitment to keep foreign forces in Afghanistan into 2014.

Tension over newly elected French President Francois Hollande’s pledge to end his country’s combat mission two years early infused the meeting.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel pointedly cited the credo of the allies in the Afghanistan war, “in together, out together,” and her foreign minister cautioned against a “withdrawal competition” by coalition countries.

Hollande said he was merely being pragmatic in keeping a campaign pledge to pull combat troops this year but this still would “let the alliance continue to work.”

While France’s new posture obviously rattled the

4 dead after boat crash (AP) — The bodies of four people missing after a boat crash on the Mississippi River in Iowa were found Sunday within 100 yards of the crash site, according to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. None was wearing a life vest.

DNR officer Paul Kay said three men and a woman, all believed to be in their 20s, were killed.

Their names have not been released, pending notification of their families.

Along with the four killed, eight people were injured when two johnboats — flat-bottomed boats often made of aluminum — crashed in the O’Connell Slough area of the river, where the water is 10 to 12

Saturday. One of the boats was carrying 11 people; the other had a single passenger. Authorities scoured the river near Burlington for signs of the missing boaters Saturday before calling off the search after dark.

Efforts resumed early Sunday morning.

DNR spokesman Kevin Baskins said eight people were pulled from the water soon after the crash.

At least one person suffered serious injuries and was flown to an Iowa City hospital, he said.

The others were taken to a Burlington hospital. Some had since been released, Baskins said Sunday, although he didn’t have an exact count.

Baskins said authorities are still sorting out the cause of the crash. No charges had been filed as of Sunday.

“That’s going to take a while,” he said of the investigation.

Burlington is in southeast Iowa on the Illinois border, about 200 miles north of St. Louis on the river.

Debt remains a top issue to ask us to raise the debt ceiling, and he will early next year, we do need to have another serious discussion about trying to do something significant about the deficit and the debt,” McConnell said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Both sides showed they had little appetite for compromise last week, when Boehner insisted at a meeting with President Barack Obama on Wednesday that he would seek spending cuts to offset an increase in the nation’s borrowing limit.

Obama warned he wouldn’t accept more cuts without also extracting tax increases on the wealthiest Americans.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, speaking on

ABC’s “This Week,” said that Boehner “wants to go over the edge.”

“My response to what the speaker said is, ‘Here we go again.’ This is not a responsible, mature, sensible place for us to go,” Pelosi said.

“There has to be more reductions but we have to have revenue and have to have growth.”

Robin Gibb dies after battle LONDON (AP) — With his carefully tended hair, tight trousers and perfect harmonies, Robin Gibb, along with his brothers Maurice and Barry, defined the disco era. As part of the Bee Gees — short for the Brothers Gibb — they created dance floor classics like “Stayin Alive,” ”Jive Talkin’,” and “Night Fever” that can still get crowds onto a dance floor.

The catchy songs, with their falsetto vocals and relentless beat, are familiar pop culture mainstays.

There are more than 6,000 cover versions of the Bee Gees hits, and they are still heard on dance floors and at wedding receptions, birthday parties, and other festive occasions.

Robin Gibb, 62, died Sunday “following

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans and Democrats are refusing to budge when it comes to their already hardened positions on spending cuts versus tax increases to deal with the nation’s debt.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., both said Sunday that when Congress is asked to raise the nation’s borrowing cap after the election, they’ll insist on spending cuts to offset the increase.

Democratic leaders countered that the GOP stance was irresponsible, given that the partisan showdown over the debt ceiling last year caused a downgrading of the U.S. government’s credit rating.

COVINGTON — Carl L. Schultz, 96, of Sidney, formerly of Covington, died at 5:25 p.m. Friday, May 18, 2012, at his residence. He was born May 6, 1916, in Covington, to the late William J. and Minnie (Metzger) Schultz. He married Mary Rehmert on Aug. 15, 1943, in Piqua; she preceded him in death on May 16, 1990.

Survivors include three daughters, Carol (Bruce) Himebaugh of Holland, Mich., Jane (David) Gehalo of Telephone, Texas, and Mary SCHULTZ Ellen (Kenneth) Alexander of New Richmond, Wisc. and Piqua; six grandchildren, Kevin (Jennifer) Himebaugh, Keith Himebaugh, Betsy Alexander, Chris (Susie) Alexander, Mary Schultz, David Schultz; three great-grandchildren, Savannah Himebaugh, Lillian and Julianna Alexander; numerous nieces and nephews; and a special friend, Jeanne Mears of Sidney. He was preceded in death by a son and daughter-in-law, William and Joann Schultz; two brothers, Paul and David Schultz; and a sister, Florence Jay.

his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery,” his family announced in a statement released by Gibb’s representative Doug Wright.

Gibb was the second disco-era star to die this week. Donna Summer — who earned the Queen of Disco title by singing “Last Dance” and “I Feel Love” — died of cancer in Florida on Thursday.

The Bee Gees, born in England but raised in Australia, began their career in the musically rich 1960s but it was their soundtrack for the 1977 movie “Saturday Night Fever” that sealed their success.

The album’s signature sound — some called it “blue-eyed soul” — remains instantly recognizable more than 40 years after its release.

You should tell the parents

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7:30 p.m.: INN News 9 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: My husband's sister "Kelsey" filed for divorce a few months ago. Her soon-to-be ex-husband kept in touch. He told me that Kelsey had been cheating on him with the guy she is currently seeing. I didn't want to believe him, but in the past few weeks, I've discovered that Kelsey has been lying to her parents, her brother and me about nearly everything.

Her new guy has a DUI and lost his license. He has a child from another relationship, doesn't work and rents a room from his brother.

Kelsey has been paying for his plane tickets so he can visit her.

Kelsey told me she was filing for divorce because she couldn't deal with her husband's child from his first marriage. Now she is jumping into another relationship with the same set-up. She is convinced that "it's different." Her parents are unaware that Kelsey is planning to move two states away to be with him after she graduates.

I have spoken my piece. I told Kelsey what she did was wrong. If she were a friend, I would stop speaking to her. But this is my sister-in-law, and I don't want to cut her off. However, neither my husband nor I want Kelsey and her new boyfriend coming to our house.

Should I tell Kelsey's parents that she is planning to move away with this guy? Are we being too harsh by not inviting her into our home? This is my husband's only sister, and I want to do the right thing. — Unsure of What To Do Dear Unsure: Kelsey sounds immature and reckless, the type who will make a lot of mistakes before she learns anything. Unless Kelsey has sworn you to secrecy, we see no reason not to inform your inlaws of her plans. Welcoming her into your home is up to you. If you have young children, you might want to keep her at a distance. But the more you disapprove of the boyfriend the more she will defend him. It often can be more effective to overwhelm him with kindness.

And you never know. He could turn out to be the right guy for her.

Dear Annie: What are your thoughts about the practice of notifying friends by email of the death of a loved one? This person also included instructions on how to offer condolences and provided recommendations for places to contribute in memory of the departed.

— Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: Like it or not, email has become one way people now notify others of everything.

And while it may be less appropriate than a phone call or handwritten note, it's certainly more private than posting it on Facebook.

Family members and close friends should still be told of a death with a personal call. Others can be informed in whichever way gets the news out in the most timely manner.

Suggestions for charitable donations and conveying condolences would be included in a newspaper death notice and are therefore acceptable in such an email.

Dear Annie: You suggested to "Roommate," whose 13-year relationship was lacking intimacy, that her husband get his testosterone levels checked. Why is it that when men don't want sex, it's because their hormone levels are off, but when women don't want intimacy, it's because the relationship needs work?

You would think researchers would be all over finding a physiological reason for women's lack of interest. Not once has any doctor recommended that I get my hormone levels checked. — Ohio Dear Ohio: You must not be a regular reader of this column.

We've done countless letters on women and their hormone levels.

The best advocate for your health care is YOU. If you think your hormone levels are off, don't wait for your doctor to suggest it. Insist on being tested.

And researchers are indeed "all over" finding a pill for women that equals Viagra for men. Not there yet.

Tips for scouting summer camps Dear Readers: Summer is almost here! You may be thinking about sending your children to SUMMER CAMP. From recreational activities to making new friends and meeting people from different backgrounds, summer camps can be beneficial.

Here are some things to keep in mind: Decide what type of camp.

Day camps, specialty camps, sleep-away camps, travel camps or special-needs camps — there is a camp for everyone!

You want to feel comfort-

Hints from Heloise Columnist

able placing your child in someone else’s care. The more you know, the better you will feel. Here are some questions to ask: What screening/qualifications does the staff need to have? Things like age, train-

ing, experience and background checks.

Is the camp accredited?

Accreditation is different from licensing.

It involves national standards that the camp must abide by.

How are medications and medical treatment handled?

If it is a sleep-away camp, what is the counselors’ or directors’ accessibility to campers?

What is the ratio of staff to campers?

I fondly remember my Girl Scout camps in Hawaii (on

Oahu), Virginia and right here in Texas at Camp La Jita. — Heloise MUFFIN MAGIC Dear Heloise: I like to make several different kinds of muffins at one time.

I got tired of my hubby and kids asking me what kind of muffin was the one they had. I found some multicolored golf tees, and poked green in one kind of muffin, blue in another, etc.

I made a small chart with what color was what. Now they can enjoy the muffin they want! — Francis in Ohio

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Monday, May 21, 2012 Although there is a strong possibility for you to make unusually large material gains in the year ahead, there are always some caveats. One is that you must not spend your money as fast as you make it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It behooves you to keep your cool if you start to feel like you’re running out of time regarding a matter that you’re anxious to finalize. If you blow your stack, you’re apt to create additional problems.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t let your temper flare if a thoughtless family member doesn’t respond as he or she should to a kind deed. Wait to discuss it only after you’re in a more tolerant mood.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There is no reason why you should yield to someone who wants you to loan him or her something that you treasure. If you succumb to this person’s pressure, you may be sorry.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It might be difficult for you to determine what is harassment on your part as opposed to simply aggressiveness. Know the difference, because others most assuredly will.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Although you might have to deal with someone who previously made a bad impression on you, continue to be your own sweet self. You might be surprised how nice he or she is today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Someone you recently met and whom you like might resent it if she or he feels that you’re being possessive. There’s no way a friendship can develop if there are overly tight strings attached.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Keep your wits about you in all your one-on-one relationships. This is especially true when dealing with someone who is openly hostile or standoffish.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Even if your way of doing something is far better than others’ methods, don’t attempt to make people do things your way. Even if they’re openly fumbling, wait for others to ask for help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It’s not the smartest thing in the world to go out with a friend who’s a high roller, unless you can afford it. You could easily get caught up in his or her big-spending ways.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Avoid discussing any disagreements with your mate until you can do so privately. A public squabble could be embarrassing, and even invite some unwanted interference.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Just because a job is routine doesn’t mean it’ll be a cakewalk. If you don’t have your mind on what you’re doing, a serious gaffe could result. Be careful.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It behooves you to closely monitor all matters that can adversely affect your resources if you’re not careful. Even a small leak could turn into a serious drain.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, May 21, the 142nd day of 2012.

There are 224 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 21, 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean as she landed in Northern Ireland, about 15 hours after leaving Newfoundland; Earhart’s achievement came on the fifth anniversary of Charles

Lindbergh’s solo flight to France.

On this date: • In 1471, King Henry VI of England died in the Tower of London at age 49.

• In 1542, Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto died while searching for gold along the Mississippi River.

• In 1881, Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross.

• In 1892, the opera “Pagliacci,” by Ruggero Leoncavallo, premiered in Milan,

Italy.

• In 1991, former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated during national elections by a suicide bomber.

• Today’s Birthdays: Rhythm-and-blues singer Ron Isley (The Isley Brothers) is 71.

Rock musician Hilton Valentine (The Animals) is 69. Actor Richard Hatch (“Battlestar Galactica”) is 67. Musician Bill Champlin is 65. Singer Leo Sayer is 64.

Tropical Storm Alberto hovers off east coast Serves as a reminder of hurricane season COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Tropical Storm Alberto hovered off the South Carolina and Georgia coasts on Sunday, canceling tourist cruises, producing showers along the coast and serving as a reminder that the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season is just around the corner.

The first storm of the season that officially begins June 1 was not expected to approach landfall on the Carolinas’ coast, but it had prompted a tropical storm watch and forecasters warned that it could produce high winds, heavy surf, rip currents and scattered rain across the region.

“It’s making the closest approach to the coastline now, so the impacts shouldn’t be much different than what we are already seeing,” said Jonathan Lamb, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Charleston, S.C.

At 5 p.m. Eastern, the National Hurricane Center said Alberto was about 130 miles (210 km) south of Charleston.

It has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph).

It’s currently moving southwest at 6 mph (10 kph), but forecasters expect it to turn northeast sometime Monday.

A tropical storm watch that was in effect for the South Carolina coast from the Savannah River to the South Santee River was dropped Sunday afternoon without tropical storm conditions reaching the coast.

A few rain bands from Alberto reached Hilton Head Island and moved south to near Jacksonville, Fla., on Sunday but they moved through in less than an hour. Winds weren’t expected to reach higher than 30 mph at the beaches, Lamb said. From Charleston to the north,

even less of an impact was expected.

The hurricane center said the storm was expected to slow down through Sunday, then begin turning northeast and heading farther out to sea sometime Monday.

Alberto was named a tropical storm Saturday upon forming in the Atlantic.

It was the third tropical storm to form before the official June 1 start of the hurricane season in the past 31 years.

Forecasters said there is no evidence that earlyforming storms mean more tropical storms and hurricane for the rest of the season, especially with storms like Alberto that form from leftover weather fronts and low pressure systems moving off the mainland into the Atlantic.

“It’s anomalous for sure, but there’s really no indication this gives us any idea

People walk along the sand at Johnnie Mercer Pier on Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington, N.C., on Sunday, May 20. what the hurricane season is going to be like as a whole,” Lamb said.

The brief bursts of wet weather and occasional gusty winds disrupted some vacation plans along the beaches of southern South Carolina and Georgia. Swimmers were warned of dangerous rip currents, although no rescues were reported.

Boat operators canceled cruises both for the choppy seas and because concerned vacationers didn’t want to go out with Alberto offshore.

“A lot of people are nervous about the weather, so we are getting cancelations,” said Kate Myers, with Island Explorer Tours on Hilton Head.

The brief storms ended

by Sunday morning and the sun was occasionally peeking through, so the captain that runs the afternoon cruise through the salt marshes hoped to take tourists on his scheduled run, Myers said.

“Having a storm out there this early is just strange,” Myers said. “But it has been a weird year for weather.”

Millions look skyward as rare eclipse crosses Asia TOKYO (AP) — Millions of Asians watched as a rare “ring of fire” eclipse crossed their skies early Monday.

The annular eclipse, in which the moon passes in front of the sun leaving only a golden ring around its edges, was visible to wide areas across the continent.

It will move across the Pacific and also be seen in parts of the western United States.

In Japan, “eclipse tours” were arranged at schools and parks, on pleasure boats and even private airplanes.

Similar events were held in China and Taiwan as well.

The eclipse was broadcast live on TV in Tokyo, where such an eclipse hasn’t been visible since 1839.

The Taipei Astronomical Museum opened its doors at dawn and Hong Kong’s Space

Museum set up solar-filtered telescopes outside its building on the Kowloon waterfront.

Japanese TV crews watched from the top of Mount Fuji and even staked out a zoo south of Tokyo to capture the reaction of the chimpanzees — who didn’t seem to notice.

A light rain fell on Tokyo as the eclipse began, but the clouds thinned as it reached its peak, providing near perfect conditions.

“It was a very mysterious sight,” said Kaori Sasaki, who joined a crowd in downtown Tokyo to watch event. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Hong Kong skywatchers weren’t so lucky.

Several hundred people gathered along the Kowloon waterfront on Hong Kong’s famed Victoria Harbor, most of them students or commuters on their

The eclipse will follow a naralready underway as the sun began to rise, but heavy clouds row 13,700-kilometer (8,500-

mile) path for 3 1/2 hours.

The ring phenomenon will last about five minutes, depending on location. People outside the narrow band for prime viewing will see a partial eclipse.

“Ring of Fire” eclipses are not as dramatic as a total eclipse, when the disk of the sun is entirely blocked by the moon.

The moon is too far from Earth and appears too small in the sky to blot out the sun completely.

Doctors and education officials have warned of eye injuries from improper viewing. Before the event started, Japan’s Education Minister Hirofumi Hirano demonstrated how to use eclipse glasses in a televised news conference.

Police also cautioned against traffic accidents — warning drivers to keep their eyes on the road.

CAUTION

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

2280709

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

CLEVELAND (AP) — All was quiet for most of the afternoon at Progressive Field on Sunday.

Cleveland closer Chris Perez, who blasted Indians fans twice in less than 24 hours for not showing more support for the team that leads the AL Central, wasn’t used in the 5-3 loss to the Miami Marlins.

Since the Indians don’t play Monday, Perez, unhappy that the Indians are last in the majors in average attendance, will have to wait until at least Tuesday night to know how fans will react to his strong words.

Perez first criticized the fans following Saturday’s 2-0 win in which he struck out the side in the ninth inning for his 13th save. He addressed the issue again before Sunday’s game, but didn’t back down from his words a day earlier, questioning why fans are not turning out and why some in the sparse crowds boo the home team.

Asked after the game about Perez’s opinions, Indians manager Manny Acta said, “Chris is a very emotional guy. He really cares. He wants to win badly a championship for the city of Cleveland. We all want people here, but that’s something we can’t control. I like our fan base.

We have to understand the situation. It’s tough out there (economically) nowadays. We’ve had tough weather at the beginning

Stenhouse wins at Iowa Speedway Ricky Stenhouse Jr. didn’t need a fortuitous push from a teammate to win at Iowa Speedway this time around.

Stenhouse’s No. 6 car was strong enough to keep the drama and the rest of the field out of reach.

He led 209 of 250 laps and won the NASCAR Nationwide race at the Iowa Speedway on Sunday, his third straight win on Iowa’s short oval.

Stenhouse, who won both races in Iowa in 2011 and took first last August after blowing an engine and being pushed across by Carl Edwards, picked up his third victory of the season. He also extended his lead in the points chase to 28 over Elliott Sadler, who was second. See Page 16.

New winning way

Heat tops Pacers

Cueto’s arm, Ludwick’s bat lift Reds to win Even series at 2-2 NEW YORK (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds discovered a new, winning way to wrap up their extended stay in New York.

They brought in Aroldis Chapman, their closer for a day and maybe longer.

Johnny Cueto pitched effectively into the eighth inning, Ryan Ludwick delivered two big hits and the Reds turned it over to Chapman to finish off Sunday’s 5-2 victory over the Yankees.

The Reds rallied late against CC Sabathia, sending the Yankees to their fifth loss in six games. Cincinnati took two of three at Yankee Stadium, right after splitting a pair at Citi

Field against the Mets.

“Time to go home,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said.

Might be time to anoint Chapman, too.

The Reds have tried for three seasons to find the right fit for their rocket-armed pitcher from Cuba. They considered making him a starter, and have used him as a lefty specialist and a setup man.

But with closer Sean Marshall struggling, now might be Chapman’s opportunity to move from the eighth to the ninth.

“Either inning for me is the same,” Chapman said through a translator. “Maybe one day things will get complicated and

I’ll get some pressure, but I don’t feel that.”

Chapman has a 0.00 ERA in 22 1-3 innings this season, striking out 39. Pitching for the fourth time in five days, he reached 99 mph on the stadium scoreboard radar gun.

Chapman got the grounds crew to fix two dirt holes on the mound, then worked a hitless ninth for his first save of the season and second of his major league career.

So, skip, is he the closer?

“I don’t want to be answering that question today,” Baker said.

Cueto (5-1) gave up a tworun homer to Raul Ibanez in the sixth. The Yankees had plenty of

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Miami’s season, the one that’s supposed to end in an NBA championship and vindication, was slipping away.

LeBron James brought it back.

And this time, Dwyane Wade helped him.

James scored 40 points, Wade added 30 22 in the second half and Miami’s dynamic duo took over after halftime to get the Heat even in the series with a 101-93 win over the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Sunday.

With Chris Bosh injured and back in Florida, the James-Wade tandem saved the Heat, who will

Full field set for Indy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The field is set for the Indianapolis 500. And, more importantly, it’s full.

On an otherwise ho-hum day of qualifying, nine cars made the field on their first attempts, ending any potential last-minute drama and assuring the May 27 race would start with a full field of 33 cars for 64th consecutive year. Things went almost as smoothly Sunday as race organizers could have expected.

“We’re happy to see it,” Indianapolis Motor Speedway CEO Jeff Belskus said. “There was very little doubt in my mind that we wouldn’t. To put it another way, I was confident we would end up with 33 cars.”

The script could have been

better.

For the first time since 2004, there were no bump attempts taking away the intrigue of last year’s enthralling finish when Marco Andretti bumped his way into the race by knocking out teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay on the final four-lap qualifying attempt of the month. Heck, there weren’t even any rumors floating around Gasoline Alley about late additions to Indy’s entry list.

The three slowest qualifiers, all of whom qualified at less than 215 mph, didn’t have to sweat AP PHOTO out anything. It will be the first time the 11th row is filled with Marco Andretti, left, talks with his grandfather and 1969 Indy 500 champion Mario Andretti after he practiced on the final day cars under 215 since 204, too.

Stenhouse wins 3rd straight in Iowa Speedway NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Ricky Stenhouse Jr. didn’t need a fortuitous push from a teammate to win at Iowa Speedway this time around.

Stenhouse’s No. 6 car was strong enough to keep the drama and the rest of the field out of reach.

He led 209 of 250 laps and won the NASCAR Nationwide race at the Iowa Speedway on Sunday, his third straight win on Iowa’s short oval.

Stenhouse, who won both races in Iowa in 2011 and took first last August after

blowing an engine and being pushed across by Carl Edwards, picked up his third victory of the season.

He also extended his lead in the points chase to 28 over Elliott Sadler, who was second.

“It feels good to win three in a row, and it was a lot of fun leading that many laps,” Stenhouse said.

Michael McDowell tied his career best by finishing third, followed by rookie Austin Dillon and Kurt Busch. Danica Patrick failed to finish for the second time

this season and Travis Pastrana finished 26th in his third career Nationwide race because of an electrical issue.

For Stenhouse, Sunday’s race was a lot less exciting but a lot more efficient than his last trip to Iowa.

Stenhouse’s 209 laps led tied the track record set by Kyle Busch in 2010. He also became the first Nationwide driver to win three in a row at the same track since Kyle Busch won three at Texas in 2009-10.

“This is the way you want

to win. You want to go out here and dominate,” Stenhouse said. “We want to go out there and lead laps, stay up front and get the job done.”

The Sprint Cup event in Charlotte on Saturday kept all Cup regulars except for Kurt Busch out of the field, giving the Nationwide series a rare Sunday in the spotlight.

Busch still showcased his skills as a driver though, briefly taking the lead after starting in the back and saving a top-five finish after

being bumped by McDowell on the last lap.

“Stenhouse man, he did a good job (Sunday). The kid is getting really good,” Busch said. “It’s great to sniff the lead, be close to it and just missing a couple little components.”

Sadler started on the pole, but Sam Hornish Jr. quickly took the lead away and held it for 30 laps until Stenhouse took control.

Though Cole Whitt, Justin Allgaier and Busch each took turns with the front position, none of them could

hold off the charging Stenhouse for more than a few laps.

Sadler bounced back nicely from his late wreck in Darlington last week by starting first and finishing second, but he was still frustrated he couldn’t beat Stenhouse.

“We thought we had a car to win the race when the race started. But I’m proud of my guys for rebounding the way they did after last week. To come back and finish second, a good job on their part,” Sadler said.

NBA ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 host Game 5 on Tuesday night at AmericanAirlines Arena.

“Just survival,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

“This is what the playoffs are about.”

James was at his MVP best, adding 18 rebounds and nine assists and refusing to let Miami’s season slip away.

“It’s still going to be a dogfight,” James said. “It’s a three-game series now.”

Wade rebounded from the worst playoff game of his career, shaking off a 1 of 8 shooting start and adding nine rebounds and six assists.

Danny Granger scored 20 to lead the Pacers, who had the Heat down but couldn’t put the defending champions conference away.

Down by 10 points in the third quarter, the Heat were in danger of having their championship dreams obliterated by an Indiana team outworking them at both ends and backed by a towel-waving fans.

James would have none of it.

Wade either.

Wade, who scored five points in Game 3 and yelled at coach Erik Spoelstra on the sideline during a thirdquarter timeout in Miami’s 19-point loss, came alive in the third when he made all six shots and scored 14 points.

“I’ve been doubted before. I’ll be doubted again,” Wade said.

James added 14 as well in the period as the pair landed a 1-2 punch on the Pacers’ chin.

“We had a terrible performance in Game 3,” James said. “We wanted to redeem ourselves.”

Granger’s 3-pointer had given Indiana a 61-51 and the Pacers, outhustling the Heat to loose balls, appeared poised to take a commanding lead in the series.

But that’s when James and Wade put on a jawdropping spectacle, combining for all but two points in a 25-5 run that put Miami up 76-66.

During one sequence, Wade lost his balance and fell and was lucky to push the ball toward James near the top of the key. As Wade scrambled to his feet, James alertly passed him the ball and he calmly knocked down a 3-pointer to give the Heat a 64-63 lead. The pair made easy shots, tough ones and did everything in their power to steer Miami away from a 3-1 hole.

Only eight teams in league history have over-

That’s what the Heat were staring at with a loss in Game 4.

The Heat took a 76-70 lead into the fourth, and every time Indiana got close, either Wade or James responded.

Miami also got a huge lift down the stretch from Udonis Haslem, who hasn’t been a factor in the series but made four big jumpers in the final six minutes despite playing with a large bandage over his right eye after being elbowed by Indiana’s Tyler Hansbrough.

Granger’s 3-pointer got the Pacers within 96-91 with 1:33 left, but Haslem hit another short shot and James closed the Pacers out with three free throws in the last 16 seconds.

Leandro Barbosa dropped a layup just before the horn to give the Pacers a 54-46 lead at halftime, closing a second quarter that included another altercation involving Granger.

Wade was fouled hard on a drive with 12.6 seconds left by Hibbert. After the whistle, Miami’s frustrated star slapped off the Indiana center’s arm after the two got tangled.

Granger didn’t like that and he confronted Wade nose-to-nose in the foul lane.

Wade turned to one official and pleaded to “get him out of my face.”

Granger was slapped with a technical foul for the second straight game, and as Wade lined up to shoot his free throw, Indiana’s forward kept jawing at him.

“I’m right here,” Granger said, standing near midcourt.

Wade got the message, and he and James returned one of their own in the third.

His team’s dynamic disrupted without Bosh, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra changed his starting lineup for the fourth time in four games, putting Ronny Turiaf at center and start-

ing Shane Battier up front with James for the second straight game. The switch did nothing to stop the Pacers from getting off to another strong start.

Indiana was up 9-0 in a blink and led 19-11 after Granger dropped a 3-pointer.

James, though, got things going for the Heat and had them within 25-18 after one, a deficit that could have been much worse if not for the Pacers missing several wide-open 3-pointers.

NOTES: The national anthem was performed on harmonica by 85-year-old Carl Erskin, who pitched for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1948-59. Erskin is an Indiana native. … James passed time before the game reading “Hunger Games” in the Heat’s locker room. … Heat owner Micky Arison was asked for his autograph by several fans sitting near the Miami bench. “You must be desperate,” he cracked.

outs, the big lefty suddenly lost the plate, walking Drew Stubbs, Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips on a full count to force home the goahead run.

That bout of wildness marked only the third time in Sabathia’s 12-season career that he had walked three batters in a row, STATS LLC said.

“He wasn’t wild until the last inning. He was pretty darn good before that, so I wouldn’t make too much of

it,” Girardi said.

Ludwick had a single in the eighth, and lined a twoout, two-run double off the glove of diving left fielder Dewayne Wise in the ninth.

Ludwick had missed the past two games with a bruised left elbow after being plunked by Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey.

Ibanez, who had faced Cueto more than any other Yankees hitter from his days in the NL, broke up a scoreless game by pulling a two-

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 of the season. Our fans will come.”

Indians starter Derek Lowe, who took the loss despite holding Miami to two runs in six innings, he was maintained unaware of Perez’s comments. He jokingly said, “Did he thank them? Did he say hi?” Turning serious, Lowe said, “Who am I to sit here and say you should come or shouldn’t come? My job is to play the game and that’s it. It’s not our place, at least in my opinion, to tell people to come or not to come.”

Of more immediate concern to Acta is the state of Cleveland’s offense, which was quiet all weekend, scoring seven

runs.

“Both teams pitched pretty well,” Acta said. “It was about pitching the whole series. It’s not like either one of us has the Texas Rangers lineup. It was a well-played series.

Unfortunately, we ended up losing two out of three.”

Josh Johnson twice worked out of jams to earn his second straight win.

Johnson (2-3) allowed one run and five hits in seven innings. Heath Bell gave up an RBI double to Jose Lopez and a run-scoring groundout to Casey Kotchman in the ninth before nailing down his fifth save in nine chances.

Lowe (6-2) had his fourgame winning streak snapped.

■ Auto Racing

Indy ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Despite getting a rude welcome to the Brickyard’s 2.5-mile oval, former Formula One driver Jean Alesi still made the race.

The Frenchman will start 33rd after finishing with a four-lap qualifying average of 210.094 the slowest speed of any Indy starter since the late Fermin Velez went 206.512 in 1997.

“It’s a big relief for me to finally get into this race,” said Alesi, one of seven rookies in the Indy field.

“This is an amazing experience for me. I’m 47 years old, and I have learned more in one week than I did in my entire Formula One career.”

Now the bigger questions.

Simona de Silvestro and Alesi will be the only drivers using the lumbering

Lotus engines in next Sunday’s race. They’ll start 32nd and 33rd. De Silvestro had the second-slowest qualification speed at 214.393.

Alesi has already said he feels “unsafe” on the track with faster cars trying to pass him and worries he’ll become an impediment to other drivers. He was almost 16 mph slower than Saturday’s pole winner, Australia’s Ryan Briscoe, who went 226.484.

“The speed difference is too great,” points leader Will Power said Friday when asked about the disparity. “Simona is one of the best drivers in the series, so it has nothing to do with her, it has to do with the situation she’s in, and it’s a pity if it comes to her not racing. But it is bloody dangerous, honestly.”

run homer into the second deck.

New York hitters had been in a 5-for-57 rut with runners in scoring position when Ibanez homered one out after Robinson Cano’s leadoff double.

It was Bat Day at Yankee Stadium for the fans, not the hitters in the early going.

Through the middle innings, the Cueto-Sabathia duel was as good as advertised.

Sabathia didn’t allow a hit until Todd Frazier

grounded a single in the fifth. Chris Heisey popped up and stranded two runners that inning, and Phillips grounded into a double play with two on and no outs in the sixth.

Cueto gave up exactly one single in each of the first five innings. Yet only once did the Yankees get a runner past first base in that span after a pair of fourpitch walks, Rodriguez flied out on the first pitch to end the third.

■ Major League Baseball

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 traffic against him, but couldn’t score more.

Baker mixed and matched his bullpen the rest of the way, using Marshall and Logan Ondrusek to get through the eighth. The Reds held on when Alex Rodriguez’s bid for a goahead, two-run homer seemed to get held up in the wind and was caught on the warning track.

Cincinnati had been blanked on two singles

before Ludwick homered on Sabathia’s first pitch of the seventh. An out later, Ryan Hanigan tied it when he crushed an 0-2 pitch deep to left-center for his first homer of the season.

“Home runs are American League baseball.

Everyone’s going to give them up. That’s the bottom line,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.

Zack Cozart followed with a one-hop single off Sabathia (5-2). And with two

Coyotes beat LA LOS ANGELES (AP) The Clarence — Campbell Bowl was in Staples Center for the first time, waiting to be presented by Commissioner Gary Bettman to the NHL’s Western Conference champions. The Los Angeles Kings’ long-suffering fans gathered downtown shortly after dawn, eager to witness a series sweep and a coronation.

And then Captain Coyote and his goalie crashed the party for a win that suggests this series is far from finished.

Shane Doan scored two goals, Mike Smith made 36 saves in his third playoff shutout, and the Phoenix Coyotes avoided emphatically playoff elimination with a 2-0 victory in Game 4 of the conference finals on Sunday.

Ray Whitney and Antoine Vermette had assists for the Coyotes, who avoided the sweep by snapping the eighth-seeded Kings’ eight-game winning streak and canceling Los Angeles’ plans to celebrate its first berth in the Stanley Cup finals since 1993. With their backs against the glass, the Coyotes soundly outplayed an opponent that had been on an 11-1 run through the postseason.

“We recognize we put ourselves in a tough position, (but) we also know it has been done,” said Doan, Phoenix’s captain since 2003 and the sole remaining member of the Winnipeg Jets team that moved to the desert in 1996.

Dufner wins Nelson IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jason Dufner made a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday for a one-stroke victory in the Byron Nelson Championship, his second victory in four weeks.

The winning putt wrapped up a closing 3under 67 for an 11-under 269 total. Dicky Pride was second.

Dufner got his first PGA Tour victory at New Orleans on April 29, then took a week off to get married. He also led alone by one stroke after the second and third rounds at the TPC at Four Seasons course.

Pride, whose only PGA Tour victory in a 20-year professional career came in 1994, was at 10 under with a parsaving 22-foot putt at No. 18 after hitting his drive into the water.

Moments later, Dufner made a putt that was only a few feet longer but on virtually the same line as the one Pride made to finish his round of 67.

J.J. Henry, who had an early hole-in-one, was in the lead at 11 under after consecutive birdies at Nos. 15 and 16, overcoming a bad tee shot on the first and a greenside bunker on the second.

But Henry, in the final group with Dufner, hit his tee shot at the par-3 17th over the green. The former TCU star lost the lead with a double bogey after a 4foot putt slid just outside the cup.
