POLICE OFFICERS stood over escaped convict David Sweat after he was wounded and caught near the Canadian border Sunday in Constable, N.Y.
Second escaped murderer shot, captured near Canada By MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press
MALONE, N.Y. — A three-week manhunt that began when two convicted murderers staged a brazen prison break involving stolen power tools and hacksaw blades hidden in frozen hamburger meat ended Sunday when a state police sergeant spotted a suspicious man walking down on a rural road near the Canadian border. David Sweat’s capture came two days after his fellow escapee, Richard Matt, was killed in a confrontation with law enforcement while holding a shotgun. Sweat was unarmed when he was shot twice by Sgt. Jay Cook as the fugitive ran for a tree line. “If you were writing a movie plot, they would say that this was
overdone,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. Cook, a 21-year veteran, was alone and on routine patrol when he stumbled upon Sweat in the northern New York town of Constable, about 30 miles northwest of the prison, and recognized him. He gave chase when Sweat fled and decided to fire upon fearing he would lose him in the trees, state police said. “I can only assume he was going for the border,” Superintendent Joseph D’Amico said. The arrest ended an ordeal that sent 1,300 law enforcement officers into the thickly forested northern reaches of New York and forced residents to tolerate nervewracking armed checkpoints and property searches. “The nightmare is finally over,”
Cuomo declared at a news conference. Authorities said Sweat was struck in the torso and taken to a hospital in Malone before being transported to Albany Medical Center, which has a trauma center. Sweat is in “critical but stable” condition, Cuomo said today. Cuomo told CNN that Sweat initially was listed in stable condition but was downgraded to critical after being flown to Albany Medical Center on Sunday night. Sweat was being evaluated by a team of doctors including emergency medical physicians, trauma specialists and others who would determine whether surgery was necessary, Dr. Dennis McKenna said. Sweat had not been formally inContinued on Page 8
The case of the 2013 drug-related slaying of James “Pork” Alexander, of Ernest, was virtually closed out this morning with the resentencing of one of the men who took part in the killing. Gregory “Sam” Patterson, 35, today apologized for his role in the slaying and was then ordered by Judge Thomas Bianco to serve 15 to 30 years in prison for conspiracy to first-degree murder. The sentence puts Patterson, of Glen Campbell, in a vastly different position than in September, when he was given a term of life in prison for his origGREGORY inal conviction on seconddegree murder and related PATTERSON charges. His new sentence also matches that ordered for his co-defendant, Christopher Salsgiver, who pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. Patterson appealed his original conviction and was granted a new trial, but decided to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge June 12. He admitted he concocted a plan with Salsgiver to lure Alexander, 46, to a secluded area of a hiking and biking trail in Clymer on June 24, 2013, on the pretense of asking to buy heroin from Alexander. There, Alexander was killed by a single gunshot wound to the head. “I’d like to apologize for the death of Mr. Alexander, especially to his mother and his children,” Patterson told Bianco before being sentenced this morning. “And I apologize for what I did that night. I wish I could Continued on Page 8
Lawmakers debate taxes as budget deadline nears By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press
HARRISBURG — A longrunning partisan divide over taxes and education spending was repeatedly evident on Sunday as Pennsylvania lawmakers worked through the weekend in a rush to pass budget legislation in the days before the fiscal year wraps up.
The Senate moved closer to a final vote on a GOP-drafted state budget plan that would add modestly to education funding without raising any new taxes, while House Democrats defeated funding for universities because they deemed the amounts inadequate. The main budget bill, which passed the House without a single Democratic
Greece imposes limits on banking By ELENA BECATOROS and COSTAS KANTOURIS Associated Press
ATHENS, Greece — Anxious Greek pensioners swarmed closed bank branches today in the hope of getting their pensions, while queues formed at ATMs as they gradually began dispensing cash again following the imposition of strict controls on capital. As global markets plunged following one of the most dramatic weekends in Greece’s five-year financial saga, the country woke up to a changed financial landscape that many in the markets fear could be a prelude to a messy debt default and a damaging Greek exit from the euro. The banks and the country’s stock market have been closed for the week after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ surprise call for a referendum next Sunday on budget and reform proposals creditors are demanding Greece should take to gain access to blocked bailout funds. Tsipras is advocating Greeks reject the proposals in the popular vote, which increasingly has the look of a vote on euro membership itself. A Greek official said
Tsipras spoke by phone with European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker and with European Parliament President Martin Schulz. The official said Tsipras told Juncker that preventing the Greek people’s democratic expression by shutting down the banks is not within Europe’s democratic tradition. He asked for Juncker to help ensure the Greek bailout can be extended by a few days and liquidity restored to the banks. The official said Tsipras told Juncker that “as a European politician, he must defend the traditions of Europe, so that the Greek people can decide unhindered on Sunday.” He did not say what Juncker’s response was. Tsipras also asked Schulz to support the Greek proposal for a bailout extension of a few days. The official spoke only on condition of anonymity, in line with government rules. The sense of unease was evident in the number of pensioners lining up at bank branches hoping they might open. Many elderly Greeks don’t have bank cards and make withdrawals in person at the till, and so find themselves Continued on Page 8
vote on Saturday, could see a final vote in the Senate on Tuesday. Gov. Tom Wolf has signaled he will veto all or parts of it. The Senate also advanced a liquor privatization bill, which along with changes to public-sector pensions are the Republicans’ policy priorities during what is traditionally the Legislature’s heaviest deal-making sea-
son. The liquor bill also could get a final vote in the coming days. Lawmakers planned to get back to business today. The Republicans’ strong majorities in the House and Senate are moving ahead on their own agenda after talks with the Democratic governor have failed to produce a bipartisan compromise. In the House, the GOP did
not reach the supermajority needed to approve funding for Penn State, Pitt, Temple and Lincoln universities, although that topic will almost certainly be revisited. Republicans reminded Democrats that they had all voted against a bill that combined all of Wolf’s tax proposals, even though Democratic leaders derided that vote as a Continued on Page 8

Investigators seek cause of Taiwan fire that burned 500 By RALPH JENNINGS Associated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Investigators in Taiwan were focusing today on the possibility that a cigarette butt or spark caused the blaze that burned more than 500 people at a weekend water park party when colored powder sprayed from the stage caught fire. More than 400 people remained hospitalized, 200 in serious condition, city officials said. Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported one death: a 20-year-old with burns to 90 percent of her body who was taken off life support with her family’s consent. Police recommended criminal charges against the organizer of Saturday’s party, as well as two technicians, at the Formosa Fun Coast theme park in the suburbs of Taipei. “It’s still not clear what happened, but there were a number of people smoking and the weather was warm,� New Taipei City news department head Lin Chieh-yu said. Temperatures around greater Taipei topped 96 de-

The 3 tons of colored starch-based powder bought by the organizers from Tai Won, a seller in the island’s southern county of Yunlin, were flammable, said Chou Hui-fang, a representative of the seller. She said the buyer was informed about the risk of fire. “Whether it’s corn starch or flour starch, this kind of stuff,
no matter how long it’s been around, if it’s in dense quantities and if it’s hot, it can catch fire,� Chou said. She said her four-year-old company has been questioned by police and health officials but was not considered at fault. “We didn’t know what the buyers were going to do with it or how much they would use,� she said.
“It might have been supplies for a whole year.� Taiwan Premier Mao Chikuo on Sunday banned use of the powder at future private events. Colored powder is often thrown on revelers during the annual Holi celebrations in India and Nepal, a Hindu festival. The powder at Saturday’s party was made in Taiwan, Chou said.
Truffle dogs sniff out pungent fungus By TERENCE CHEA Associated Press
CARNEROS, Calif. — The growing appetite for truffles is feeding demand for dogs trained to sniff out the pungent fungus prized by chefs and foodies. As more landowners plant orchards in hopes of harvesting truffles, more dogs are being trained to detect the earthy delicacies, which take several years to ripen on tree roots underground. “There is huge demand for truffle dogs right now,� said Alana McGee, co-founder of the Truffle Dog Company, which helps orchard owners search for truffles and trains dogs how to find them in orchards or in the wild. “Truffle-hunting is right up their alley. It’s fun for the dogs. They get rewarded for using their noses, which is how they see the world,� she said. On a recent morning, McGee’s dog Lolo, a brown and white Lagotto Romagnolo, sniffed for signs of Perigord and burgundy truffles on the roots of oak and hazelnut trees planted next to Robert Sinskey’s vineyards in Carneros, Calif. Sinskey was the first Napa Valley winemaker to plant a truffle orchard five years ago and wants to be the first California grower to harvest truffles, hopefully next year. He
plans to have McGee teach his dogs the art of trufflehunting. “I hope my dogs will finally be able to earn their keep,� Sinskey said. “It will be nice to see them actually work.� Lolo is an Italian breed commonly used to hunt truffles, but McGee said any dog can be trained. “It’s about working with the dogs’ personalities and different learning styles.� In Europe, truffle hunters traditionally used pigs, but in recent years the job has gone to the dogs, which are easier to manage, less conspicuous and less likely to eat the tasty tubers or bite a hand trying to snatch one from its mouth. Known as the diamonds of the culinary world, most black truffles come from Europe or Australia and cost $800 to $1,200 per pound, but supplies are shrinking while appetites are expanding worldwide, said Robert Chang, chief truffle officer of the American Truffle Company. “As people get richer all the time, the demand for truffles will continue to grow,� Chang said. “Ten years ago, you mention the word truffles, and people think, ‘Oh, it’s the chocolate truffles.’� European black truffles, the ones most coveted for their powerful taste and aroma, are notoriously fickle.
Puerto Rico can’t pay public debt, governor says By DANICA COTO Associated Press
ERIC RISBERG/Associated Press
TRAINER ALANA McGEE worked with her dog Lolo recently to search for truffles at Robert Sinskey’s vineyards in Carneros, Calif. Few in North America have successfully harvested them, but many are trying because the crop could be highly profitable. The American Truffle Company is working with dozens of landowners across the U.S. to grow European black truffles commercially. It’s still too early to judge their success since the orchards were planted less than five years ago, and it takes at least that long for truffles to ripen. But in March, Chang’s colleague, Paul Thomas, said he harvested Britain’s first cultivated black truffle from fungus he planted in Leicestershire six years ago, using the same techniques their company is using in the U.S. and other countries. In California’s wine-growing regions of Napa and Sonoma valleys, the American Truffle Company is
working with several winemakers, including Sinskey, Rocca Family Vineyards, former Intel Corp. CEO Paul Otellini and most recently Peju Province Winery. The trees don’t require much water, so they haven’t been affected by California’s record drought, which has forced farmers to tear out orchards and reduce crop plantings. Napa Valley Chef Ken Frank, widely regarded as America’s top truffle chef, imports the delectable fungus from Italy, France and Australia. He loves the idea of serving fresh, locally grown truffles at his restaurant La Toque. “To be able to get a truffle that was dug in Carneros this morning for me to put on the menu tonight, that’s a game changer,� Frank said. “That’s a big deal and we’re very excited about it.�
Groups rally after gay marriage ruling By RACHEL ZOLL and STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press
NEW YORK — Now that same-sex marriage is legal nationwide, religious conservatives are focusing on preserving their right to object. Their concerns are for the thousands of faith-based charities, colleges and hospitals that want to hire, fire, serve and set policy according to their religious beliefs, notably that gay relationships are morally wrong. The Republican Party’s 2016 presidential candidates are already campaigning on the issue. And Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is urging President Barack Obama and the nation’s governors “to join me in reassuring millions of Americans that the government will not force them to participate in activities that violate their deeply held religious beliefs.� The religious liberty fight isn’t about what happens inside the sanctuary. First Amendment protections for worship and clergy are clear. Potential conflicts could arise, however, over religious organizations with some business in the public arena. That category ranges from small religious associations that rent reception halls to the public, to the nation’s massive network of faithbased social service agencies that receive millions of dollars in government grants. Some groups, such as the U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops, also want protections for individual business owners who consider it immoral to provide benefits for the same-sex spouse of an employee or cater gay weddings. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy raised the issue in the majority opinion Friday granting gays the right to marry. He said First Amendment protections are in place for religious objectors, who “may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned.� But in his dissent, Chief Justice John Roberts predicted a clash ahead between religious freedom and samesex marriage. He specifically noted the dilemma for religious colleges that provide married student housing, and adoption agencies that won’t place children with gay couples. “There is little doubt that these and similar questions will soon be before this court,� Roberts wrote. Conservative religious groups have for years been on watch for potential clashes over religious liberty and gay rights, and have been
department command center. Taiwan university student Liang Sheng-kai said flaming powder hit his legs, apparently catching fire after it was sprayed from a concert stage into the front row where he was standing. With the park’s water features several hundred yards away, too far to douse the fire or ease burns, people screamed and panicked to find exits as balls of fire surged from the ground, he said. He said the right and left sides of the stage were blocked. “It was very messy and a lot of people fell over or got knocked down,� said Liang, 20, who is staying in a Taipei hospital for burn treatment. Four victims were from Hong Kong, two from mainland China and one each from Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, a New Taipei City news official said. Authorities are still checking on the nationalities of three other foreigners. More than 200 were students, Central News Agency said. A total of 519 people were injured by the fire, according to a statement from the city government’s health bureau.
The water park was ordered to close after the fire. Taiwan police recommended charges of professional neglect and public endangerment for party organizer Lu Chung-chi, who was arrested but released on bail of $32,000 and restricted from leaving the island, a New Taipei City police spokesman said. Local media photos showed Lu kneeling on the ground to apologize, pledging to take full responsibility. Police also recommended charges for the stage hardware technician and the person responsible for shooting off the powder. Officers questioned another two involved in the event but did not recommend charges, said Yan Bo-jen, news liaison with the Luzhou Precinct of New Taipei City Police Department. Prosecutors have also seized the assets of the water park and of the party organizers, the city news official said. The powder ignited along the ground, mainly burning people’s lower bodies, said Wang Wei-sheng, a liaison with the New Taipei City fire
lobbying for religious exemptions in statehouses and Congress. But conservative anxieties intensified over an exchange during April’s oral arguments in the gay marriage case between Justice Samuel Alito and Solicitor General Donald Verrilli. Alito noted the high court’s 1983 decision to revoke the tax-exemption of Bob Jones University in South Carolina because it barred interracial dating. Alito asked if the government would take such action against religiously affiliated schools that oppose same-sex marriage. Verrilli said, “It is certainly going to be an issue. I don’t deny that.� Earlier this month, more than 70 Catholic and evangelical educators sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell urging them to take action to protect conservative religious schools in case of government action to revoke the schools’ nonprofit status. And last week in Congress, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho, both Republicans, introduced the First Amendment Defense Act, which would prohibit the federal govern-
ment from taking action against an institution that opposes same-sex marriage by revoking a tax-exemption or barring them from receiving grants or contracts. Marc Stern, a religious liberty expert and general counsel to the American Jewish Committee, noted that in the three decades since the Bob Jones decision, the IRS hasn’t sought to revoke the tax exemption of another school over discrimination based on race or gender. The Supreme Court decided the Bob Jones case based on a violation of fundamental public policy, not whether the school’s policy was unconstitutional, Stern said. There is no federal law barring discrimination based on sexual orientation. Still, Michael Moreland, a vice dean and professor at Villanova University School of Law, said the concern over losing tax-exempt status is “a real one.� “The fact the majority opinion for the court did mention the religious institutions’ right to engage in advocacy with regard to their views about marriage means I don’t think there’s a rush to confront those problems, but they’re there,� Moreland said.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The governor is warning that Puerto Rico can’t pay its $72 billion public debt, delivering another jolt to the recession-gripped U.S. island as well as a world financial system already worrying over Greece’s collapsing finances. Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla is hoping to defer debt payments while negotiating with creditors, spokesman Jesus Manuel Ortiz said Sunday night. The comments came as legislators debate a $9.8 billion budget that calls for $674 million in cuts and sets aside $1.5 billion to help pay off the debt. The budget has to be approved by Tuesday. Ortiz confirmed comments by Garcia Padilla that appeared in a report in The New York Times published late Sunday, less than a day before Garcia Padilla planned to meet with legislators and then go on television to deliver a public address. “There is no other option. I would love to have an easier option. This is not politics, this is math,� Garcia Padilla is quoted as saying in the Times. Puerto Rico’s bonds were popular with U.S. mutual funds because they were tax-free, but hedge funds and distressed-debt buyers began stepping in to buy up debt as the island’s economy worsened and its credit rating dropped. Some legislators were
taken aback by Garcia Padilla’s comments, including Rep. Jenniffer Gonzalez, spokeswoman for the main opposition party. “I think it’s irresponsible,� Gonzalez said. “He met privately with The New York Times last week, but he hasn’t met with the leaders of this island.� Puerto Rico’s constitution dictates that the debt has to be paid before any other financial obligation is met. If Garcia Padilla seeks to not pay the debt at all, it will require a referendum and a vote on a constitutional amendment, she said in a phone interview. Puerto Rico’s situation has drawn comparisons to Greece, where the government decreed this weekend that banks would be shuttered for six business days and restrictions imposed on cash withdrawals. The country’s five-year financial crisis has sparked questions about its continued membership in the 19-nation shared euro currency and the European Union. Puerto Rico’s governor recently confirmed that he had considered having his government seek permission from the U.S. Congress to declare bankruptcy amid a nearly decade-long economic slump. His administration is currently pushing for the right for Puerto Rico’s public agencies to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 9. Neither the agencies nor the island’s government can file for bankruptcy under current U.S. rules.

TRENTON, N.J. — When New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie enters the race for president this week, he’ll do so as an underdog. The launch of the Republican governor’s White House campaign is the culmination of years of groundwork that began even before his landslide reelection to a second term as governor in 2013, but one nearly felled by scandal and a descent from his standing as one of the nation’s most popular state leaders to a politician whose approval ratings have reached record lows at home. It’s a reality Christie and his supporters are ready to embrace, not that they have a choice. “Clearly, he’s got some uphill work to be done,” said Ken Langone, a co-founder of Home Depot and one of Christie’s most vocal cheerleaders. “But I think it can be done.” In recent months, Christie’s team has tried to re-establish him as a credible candidate chock-full of policy prescriptions. His aides and supporters talk about his charismatic personality, quick wit and plain-spoken manner, which they believe can win over voters at town hall events and on debate stages. With so many candidates in the field — Christie will be the 14th major Republican to enter the race, with two more likely before summer’s end — and no clear front-runner, they say they can forge a path to the GOP nomination. “The worst position to be in is that of the mediaanointed front-runner,” said Phil Cox, who founded the America Leads super PAC that will back Christie’s campaign. “The fact is, there is no front-runner, and anyone who tells you differently doesn’t know what they’re talking about.” Christie will kick off his campaign at the gymnasium of his old high school in Livingston, N.J., where he served in student government and played for the celebrated baseball team. His remarks will reintroduce him to a national audience and draw heavily on his biography. Christie often emphasizes his working-class roots, telling the story of his father, who paid his way through college while working at a Breyers ice cream plant. It’s an implicit contrast with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, whose family name and flush campaign accounts Christie will now be up against. With a new slogan —
CHRIS CHRISTIE ... New Jersey governor “Telling it like it is” — Christie will also play up his brash persona, presenting himself as someone unafraid to take on unpopular issues such as overhauling Social Security and Medicare. The message aims to move Christie past the moments that have defined him since 2012, when Langone was among those pleading with him to get into the presidential race. They include the actions of three former aides, charged with creating politically motivated traffic jams to retaliate against a Democratic mayor who passed on endorsing Christie’s re-election. While Christie’s turn as head of the Republican Governors Association was widely viewed as a success in the 2014 midterm elections, and the traffic scandal has never touched him personally, he has so far failed to build much momentum in polling. But polling at this point in the race is notoriously inaccurate, and Cox said the fundraising activity at the pro-Christie super PAC has picked up in the last month as the campaign launch approached. “There’s been more of a sense of urgency with the timeline the governor laid out for making his decision and the financial reporting deadline coming up,” he said. The group seeks to raise $15 million to $20 million by the end of the year, the amount it believes is needed for Christie to compete in early states, according to a person who has attended America Leads events. The group hopes to be a third of the way to that goal soon, said the person, who was not authorized to publicly disclose the PAC’s fundraising and spoke on condition of anonymity. The goal for now: to bring in a broad group of donors, including those who might give significantly more money after Christie declares his candidacy.

Chris Squire, bassist for Yes, dies at 67 By PETER KEEPNEWS
New York Times News Service
Chris Squire, an influential rock bassist and a founding member of the celebrated British band Yes, died Sunday in Phoenix. He was 67. His death was confirmed by the band’s keyboardist, Geoffrey Downes. Squire, the only member to have played on every Yes album and participated in every one of its tours, was being treated in Phoenix for acute erythroid leukemia and said last month that he would not be with Yes for its summer and fall tour, scheduled to begin on Aug. 7. “I’m in pieces over it,” Downes said in a phone interview from his home in Wales. “The guy was a total legend.” Yes, formed in 1968, was known for its blend of rock, jazz, folk and classical influences and also for its complex time signatures and pristine vocal harmonies. One of the first of the progressive (or prog) rock bands — among the others were King Crimson and Emerson, Lake and Palmer — it went on to become the most successful and longest-lasting. The first Yes albums to reach a wide international audience were the group’s third and fourth, “The Yes Album” (1971) and “Fragile” (1972). The group’s most recent studio album was “Heaven & Earth” (2014). Squire’s propulsive and often melodic bass playing was a key element of the Yes sound.
DAVID BOE/Associated Press
CHRIS SQUIRE played bass during a 1979 Yes concert in Champaign, Ill. A self-taught virtuoso, he has been cited as an influence by many other rock bassists. He also sang harmony vocals and had a hand in writing some of Yes’ best-
known songs, including “I’ve Seen All Good People” and “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” recorded in 1983 when the group reunited after a three-year hiatus, which became Yes’ first and only No. 1 single. Christopher Russell Edward Squire was born on March 4, 1948, in London, and became a professional musician not long after leaving high school. He was with a band called The Syn before he teamed with vocalist Jon Anderson, guitarist Peter Banks, keyboardist Tony Kaye and drummer Bill Bruford to form Yes. Banks, who left after two albums and was replaced by Steve Howe, died in 2013. Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman, who joined in 1971, have left and rejoined Yes several times and are not currently with the band; so has Howe, who is. Squire was the last original member still on board. Rolling Stone recently ranked “Fragile” and the band’s follow-up album, “Close to the Edge” (1972), in the Top 10 of its 50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time. Squire’s survivors include his wife, Scotland, and five children, Carmen, Chandrika, Camille, Cameron and Xilan. An announcement of his death on Yes’ Facebook page said in part, “For the entirety of Yes’ existence, Chris was the band’s linchpin and, in so many ways, the glue that held it together over all these years.” Kenneth Rosen contributed reporting.

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE For many years, I wouldn’t have anything to do with a budget because I couldn’t stand the idea of anyone — or anything — telling me how to spend my money. And where did that get me? Into one big financial mess. Every month, when I ran out of money, I would turn to MasterCard and Visa for a bailout. Really bad idea. What I learned Email from going questions or through tips to that experimary@every ence and daycheap finding my skate.com or way back to Everyday solvency is Cheapskate, that, as 12340 Seal much as we Beach Blvd., may loathe Suite B-416, it, a budget Seal Beach, CA is the ticket 90740. to financial happiness — not the straitjacket I feared it would be. I’ve come to prefer to call this a spending plan rather than a budget; but honestly, the terms are interchangeable. It’s just a way to spend your income on paper first. A good spending plan gives every dollar a specific job. Once you have it just the way you want it, the plan becomes a handy road map for keeping your finances on track. So take a deep breath and let’s walk through the basics of creating a simple budget, or spending plan. STEP 1: Write down your total take-home monthly income. This is the easy part. Jot down what you earn. Because many expenses are billed monthly, it makes good sense to use monthly income to create your budget. STEP 2: Write down your fixed expenses. Start with fixed bills like rent, mortgage, car payment, creditcard debt and insurance, then factor in other monthly costs that are always the same. These are your essential fixed expenses. STEP 3: List your variable expenses. You know you’ll have these bills, but the amounts vary. Examples are your phone, utilities, food, household expenses, gasoline, medication, public transportation, shoes and clothing. You can assign an estimated amount to each based on past experience, rounding to the closest $10. STEP 4: List reasonable amounts for nonessential expenses. This includes entertainment, eating out, hobbies and other ways you spend money on a regular basis. STEP 5: Find the extras. Go to your checkbook register, credit-card statements, Quicken reports or what have you, to see what expenses you’ve left out. You’ll likely see items for car maintenance and repair, gifts, vacations, Christmas and holidays. For items that do not recur monthly, determine the annual cost, then divide by 12 to see how much you should set aside each month to anticipate that irregular expense. STEP 6: Figure out your totals. Add up your expenses, and then subtract that amount from your income. Ideally, you’ll come out in the black, with at least a little money left over. But if your expenses exceed your income, you’ll see a negative sum. Don’t panic — this is just the start of an ongoing process. STEP 7: See where you can cut. If you came up short, go back to your monthly expenses and see what you can get rid of. Look first to your nonessential expenses. Which items can you remove altogether for a while (eating out seems like a fine target; perhaps hobby expenses, for a season)? Keep going through the list, making adjustments until your total expenses are less than your income. STEP 8: Follow your spending plan as closely as possible. Track your spending every day. Take notes and research ways you’ll be able to do even better next month. At month’s end, add up your actual spending and compare it with what you planned.

EMPLOYEES AT Hillsdale Rehabilitation and Nursing Center recently collected items for the East Mahoning Baptist Church’s vacation Bible school shoebox project. As part of this year’s VBS, the children started a collection to create shoeboxes for the Christmas Child Shoebox project, which consists of collecting small objects such as toothbrushes, crayons, coloring books, small toys, hard candy and socks. These items are then placed inside a shoebox to be sent to children in underdeveloped countries.

How to make your child’s first trip to the movies a hit By SIERRA FILUCCI
Common Sense Media
Before you had kids, a trip to the movies was a no-brainer. You liked the actor or director or the movie poster was cool, so you went. Simple. But if you have little kids, you have to put a bit more thought into a visit to the multiplex, especially the first time you go. Here are some tips for making the first venture to the theater a success. • Determine whether your kid is really ready. What’s the right age to take kids to their first movie? Well, it depends on your kid. Lots of kids see their first movie around the age of 3 or 4, but some parents wait until kids are a bit older, especially if they’re sensitive to loud noises or scared of the dark. • Choose the right movie. Obviously, you want something kid-friendly — usually, animation fits the bill. But also look for movies that are slower-paced or shorter than the average blockbuster. These kinds of movies aren’t always playing in the theater, but keep your eye out for special screenings at art house theaters, churches, or schools where they show older kids’ movies on the big screen. • Skip the ads and trailers. Lots of theaters show a slew of commercials before the feature. Kids younger than about 8 aren’t able to distinguish advertising from content. Also, movie trailers are often louder and faster-paced than the movie itself, which can be a scary introduction to the theater. • Plan it right. Most little kids are at their best earlier in the day, so a theater’s first screening can be a great time to go — and

“INSIDE OUT” may be a good movie for your child’s first trip to a theater. it’s usually filled with other kids who won’t care if your kid talks through the whole thing. Make sure kids are well fed, and decide ahead of time if you’ll be buying popcorn or candy so you don’t have to negotiate in the theater. (And if you buy popcorn, make sure you have water — that popcorn’s salty!) • Go with the flow. You won’t be the first parent who’s left a theater with a screaming, crying, or otherwise overwhelmed kid. Yes, you might feel like you wasted your money on tickets, but you don’t want to force your kid to sit through something they’re not ready for. On the other hand, sometimes a short break in the lobby will be enough to prepare your kid for one more try.
CONCERT: An outdoor concert will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. July 26 at the Penn Run Christian Outreach Center, 75 Grace Church Road, Penn Run.

he Treasury Department recently announced that Alexander Hamilton, America’s first secretary of the treasury, will have to share the $10 bill with an as-yet-unnamed woman — Rosa Parks? Harriet Tubman? — starting in 2020. Supporters are glad to see somebody besides a white guy on America’s money; critics have complained about political correctness and the possible diminishing of Hamilton’s stature in the nation’s historical memory. Should Hamilton share the bill? Who should be honored on our currency? Why the controversy? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the Red-Blue America columnists, debate the issue.
BEN BOYCHUK Faces come and go. Dozens of U.S. luminaries, including some famous statesmen in their day that later faded into obscurity, have graced our paper money. But the decision to remove the Hamilton $10 bill rankles. You might recall the recent grassroots campaign to put a woman on the $20 bill. It seemed a bit gimmicky — put a woman on the 20 by 2020 to mark the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage — but it caught on. Some 600,000 people voted online for Harriett Tubman, the former slave who established the Underground Railroad to help other slaves escape to the North, to replace Andrew Jackson. Then last week, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced a woman would indeed grace a bill — just not the $20 bill. “Given the vital role women have played to build our nation, it is only right that our currency reflect their contributions,” Lew said. Well, sure. Few would argue with that. In fact, we’ve had women on our currency, including one figure among the litany of names Lew put up in his announcement: Martha Washington, wife of George, adorned $1 silver certificates in the 1880s. Mrs. Washington was the first first lady and a remarkable woman. So was Abigail Adams, the wife of President John Adams, mother of President John Quincy Adams, and an intellectual in her own right.

RED-BLUE AMERICA
Ben Boychuk, left, associate editor of the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal, is a conservative with a contrarian streak; Joel Mathis, associate editor for Philadelphia Magazine, is a liberal with a libertarian streak. Red-Blue America is distributed by McClatchy-Tribune News Service. But Lew’s actual rationale doesn’t make much sense, beyond identity politics and a politically correct urgency to have a woman on a bill sooner rather than later. My far-fetched theory? Treasury announced the change to the $10 bill to re-galvanize grassroots support for putting a woman on the $20. Think about it: Andrew Jackson was a scoundrel who gave us the Trail of Tears and the deeply corrupt spoils system. And not incidentally, this was the president who destroyed the Second Bank of the United States. But Hamilton is on the $10 bill because he just happened to help found the republic, framed the U.S. Constitution and created the system of money and credit the United States has relied upon for more than two centuries. Putting Jackson on a Federal Reserve Note was somebody’s idea of a joke. Taking Hamilton off is somebody’s idea of political expediency. Keep Hamilton. Boot Jackson. Give Martha Washington or Abigail Adams the $20. Problem solved.
JOEL MATHIS Here’s the part of the column where I’m supposed to disagree with my good friend Ben, to argue for a woman and
against the unending tyranny of dead white guys on our money, and normally I’d be happy to do so. But you know what? Meh. Today, I’m going to argue very strongly in favor of ... not giving much of a darn. The Hamilton controversy just isn’t worth the energy, anger or thousands and thousands of overwrought words that have already been expended on the issue. At National Review Online, conservative columnist Mona Charen decried the “arrogance, ignorance and stupidity of this move.” The conservative Ace of Spades blog said President Obama, “the bitter racialist divider and national arsonist, had hoped for a big uproar about putting Some Woman on the currency.” “Obama is a disgrace,” offered the conservative radio host Mark Levin. Meh. I get how the game is played. Obama is a Democrat. Anything he does or says — and anything his administration proposes to do — is bad until proven innocent. And if it’s bad, it’s probably evil, probably worth decrying at top volume. (Before you say it: Yes, liberals do this with conservatives, too.) It’s a stupid, unthinking approach, one does nothing, really, except put all of us on a needless, endless “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!” footing. It’s a great recipe for coronary disease; less useful for participating in public debates. Sometimes, the correct response for all of us — left and right — is to look at a situation or a proposal or an idea and do the following: Shrug. Tell yourself: “That’s not the way I’d do it, but it’s not a big deal.” Then go back to whatever you’re doing. We have important things to hash out in this country. The $10 bill is worth a conversation, maybe even a friendly debate between Ben and me. (For the record, put a woman on the $20 and get rid of Andrew Jackson. Fine by me!) But it’s not worth the kind of scorchedearth rhetoric we’ve seen in the last few days. Meh, I say. Meh. Reach Ben Boychuk at bboychuk@ city-journal.org, Joel Mathis at joelm mathis@gmail.com.

SpaceX rocket destroyed on way to space station; cargo lost By MARCIA DUNN
AP Aerospace Writer
An unmanned SpaceX rocket carrying supplies to the International Space Station broke apart Sunday shortly after liftoff. It was a severe blow to NASA, the third cargo mission to fail in eight months. The accident happened about 2½ minutes into the flight from Cape Canaveral, Fla. A billowing white cloud emerged in the sky, growing bigger and bigger, then fiery plumes shot out. Pieces of the rocket could be seen falling into the Atlantic like a fireworks display gone wrong. More than 5,200 pounds of space station cargo were on board, including the first docking port designed for future commercial crew capsules, a new spacesuit and a water filtration system. NASA officials said they have enough supplies for the three-person crew on board the station to last till October and still plan to send three
more crewmembers up in a late July launch. NASA likes to have a six-month cushion of food and water, but is now down to four months. “We’re good from a food and water standpoint,” NASA’s top spaceflight official, William Gerstenmaier, said at a press conference. This puts added pressure on another resupply launch scheduled for Friday by Russia, its first attempt since losing a supply capsule in April. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket shattered while traveling at 2,900 mph, about 27 miles up. Everything seemed to be going well until the rocket went supersonic. “We appear to have had a launch vehicle failure,” announced NASA commentator George Diller. Data stopped flowing from the Falcon 9 rocket around 2 minutes and 19 seconds, he said. SpaceX founder and chief executive Elon Musk later said that the pressure got too high in the liquidoxygen tank of the rocket’s upper stage.
JOHN RAOUX/Associated Press
THE SPACEX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft broke apart shortly after liftoff Sunday at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. “That’s all we can say with confidence right now,” Musk said via Twitter. The private company is in charge of the accident investigation, with oversight from the Federal Aviation Administration, which licensed the flight. The Dragon capsule, which is designed to eventually carry people, still sent signals
to the ground after the rocket broke apart, said SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell. Had astronauts been on board, a still-being tested abort system would have whisked them away to safety in such a mishap, she said. SpaceX hopes to launch astronauts from U.S. soil again aboard the Falcon-Dragon combination in December
2017. They still can make that target, Shotwell said. Now NASA buys seats from Russia to get astronauts to the orbiting lab. Shotwell assured reporters that the California-based company will fix the problem — “and get back to flight.” Losing this shipment — which included replacements for items lost in the two earlier failed supply flights — was a huge setback for NASA. “This is a blow to us,” Gerstenmaier said, citing the docking port, a spacesuit and considerable scientific research that had been on board. He said there was nothing common among the three accidents, “other than it’s space and it’s difficult to go fly.” In April, a Russian cargo ship spun out of control and burned up upon re-entry. And last October, an Orbital Sciences Corp. capsule was destroyed in a launch accident in Virginia. Orbital Sciences and SpaceX have NASA contracts to ship cargo.
“Three failures on three different vehicles is unusual, but it would be even more worrisome if we had only one means of access,” former NASA associate administrator Scott Pace wrote in an email to The Associated Press. In addition to Friday’s scheduled Russian launch, Orbital Sciences may be able to launch their supply ship at the end of this year, using another company’s rocket. And a Japanese resupply ship is scheduled for August, Gerstenmaier said. The seven previous SpaceX supply runs, dating back to 2012, had gone exceedingly well. For a group of students from North Charleston, S.C., the failure was a second dose of disappointment. Their student experiment on soldering circuit boards had been on the Orbital launch. The explosion was so strong and they were so close they could feel the heat on their faces back in October, student Rachel Lindbergh said.
Biden speaks at Charleston memorial By JOHN MORITZ Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Vice President Joe Biden worshipped and spoke at the Sunday service of the historic African-American church where nine people were gunned down during Bible study earlier this month just hours before a funeral was held for another of the shooting victims. The vice president’s surprise appearance came on the second Sunday the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church held regular services following the June 17 shooting. Police contend the attack was racially motivated and have charged a 21-year-old white man. Biden said he’d visited Emanuel before and knew the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, the pastor of the church who was among those killed. “We came back because my family and I wanted to show solidarity with the families and with the church,” said Biden, wearing a purple tie, a traditional color of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Biden, a Catholic, showed the congregation the rosary beads he wore around his wrist and spoke about the feeling of loss within his own life. The vice president’s son, Beau, died late last month of brain cancer. Beau Biden narrowly avoided death as a young boy in a 1972 car crash that killed Joe Biden’s first wife and his daughter. “The reason I came was to draw strength from all of you,” Biden said. “I wish I could say something that would ease the pain.” Biden received a standing ovation during the 2½-hour service after reading a selection of Scripture. He later joined the congregation in holding hands and singing, “We Shall Overcome.” The Sunday morning service came hours before the church held a funeral for shooting victim DePayne
Middelton-Doctor. The 49-year-old pastor and mother of four decided in January to return to her childhood roots in the AME faith and attend Emanuel after years attending a Baptist church. Longtime friend Karen Williams said in a eulogy that Middleton-Doctor was a devoutly religious person, a trait that helped foster the pair’s friendship. “She believed every word” in the Bible,” Williams said. “There was no compromise.” But Middleton-Doctor also encouraged forgiveness, Williams added, and often juggled her ministerial duties with her kids’ participation in basketball, dance and band, as well as her own love for singing. The crowd of family and friends was so large at the funeral that many watched the service on closed-circuit TV from the church’s first floor, where the shooting took place. The mood in the overflow space was enthusiastic and many stood to clap, sing and even shake a tambourine
the

along with the music being played at the service one floor above. The church, founded by freed slaves in the early 19th century, was filled during the earlier service with worshippers of different races. Some in the congregation wore minister’s robes and had come to worship from nearby churches. Four men wore traditional turbans of the Sikh faith. Groups from Georgia and New York presented donations to the church. When the time came to recognize guests, about half the church stood up. Instead of individual introductions,
the Rev. Norvel Goff Sr. said a loud “amen” would suffice. “If you can’t be safe anywhere you ought to be safe in a church,” Goff said. “But I have good news this morning, we are still safe.” The church slayings have been blamed on Dylann Storm Roof, who was shown in photos posing with a Confederate battle flag and burning the U.S. flag. That prompted a drive by politicians in South Carolina and other Southern states to remove from public display the flag that critics describe as honoring a rebel movement that sought to defend slavery.

Greece imposes limits on banking Continued from Page 1 completely cut off from their money. One of the most onerous controls is a daily limit of 60 euros ($67) on cash withdrawals from ATMs. “I came here at 4 a.m. because I have to get my pension,” said 74-year-old Anastasios Gevelidis, one of about 100 retirees waiting outside the main branch of National Bank of Greece in the country’s second largest city of Thessaloniki. “I don’t have a card, I don’t know what’s going on, we don’t even have enough money to buy bread,” he said. “Nobody knows anything. A bank employee came out at 8 a.m. and told us ‘you’re not going to get any money,’ but we’re hearing that 70 branches will open.” The finance ministry said the manner in which pensions would be paid would be announced later this afternoon. Deputy Minister of State Terence Quick said special arrangements would be made for pensions, telling private Antenna television that pensions would be dispensed in full as many pensioners don’t have bank cards. The daily withdrawal limit wouldn’t be enough to cover many basic necessities. “What can I do first with 60 euros? I owe 150 just to the pharmacy,” Gevelidis said. The capital controls are meant to stem the flow of money out of Greek banks and spur the country’s creditors to offer concessions before Greece’s international bailout program expires Tuesday. Without a deal to extend the bailout program, Greece will lose access to the remaining 7.2 billion euros ($8.1 billion) of rescue loans, and is unlikely to be able to meet a 1.6 billioneuro debt repayment to the International Monetary Fund due the same day. The accelerating crisis has thrown into question Greece’s financial future and continued membership in the 19-nation shared euro currency — and even the 28-country European Union. Investors around the world are worried that should Greece leave the euro and say it can’t pay its debts, which stand at more than 300 billion euros, the global economic recovery could be derailed and questions would grow over the long-term viability of the euro currency itself. “The images of queues at ATMs in Greece are stripping traders of what little confidence they have left in the nation, and the financial earthquake that happened in the eurozone over the weekend can be felt around the world,” said David Madden, market analyst at IG. Among the major markets in Europe, the CAC-40 stock index in France was down 3.6 percent at 4,877 while Germany’s DAX fell 3.5 per-
cent to 11,088. Aside from developments at the banks in Greece, massive queues formed at gas stations, with worried motorists seeking to fill up their tanks and pay with credit cards while they were still being accepted. Although credit and cash card transactions have not been restricted, many retailers were not accepting card transactions this morning. Electronic transfers and bill payments are allowed, but only within the country. The government also stressed the controls would not affect foreign tourists, who would have no limits on cash withdrawals with foreign bank cards. For emergency needs, such as importing medicines or sending remittances abroad, the Greek Treasury was creating a Banking Transactions Approval Committee to examine requests on a case-bycase basis. Tsipras announced the capital controls in a televised address Sunday night, blaming the eurogroup, the gathering of the eurozone’s finance ministers, and its decision to reject an extension request for the bailout program. He has asked again for the extension to allow for the referendum. French Finance Minister Michel Sapin said talks with Greece could resume at any time, while Pierre Moscovici, the European commissioner for economic affairs, said negotiations were cut off when an agreement seemed within reach. The situation now largely rests on a “yes” vote in Greece, Moscovici said. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that if Greece wants to resume talks after its referendum, “we will of course not refuse such negotiations.” Merkel said that Europe can only function if it’s ready to compromise and “no one can get 100 percent.” She says that the “generous offer” made by creditors “was our contribution to a compromise” and the will to reach one was not there on the Greek side. She says there will be a debate on Greece in the German Parliament on Wednesday. The referendum decision, ratified by Parliament after a marathon 13-hour session that ended in the early hours of Sunday, shocked and angered Greece’s European partners. The country’s negotiations with its European creditors have been suspended, with both sides accusing each other of being responsible for talks breaking off. Greece is dividing into two camps ahead of the referendum. A demonstration was planned in Athens later today by those against the proposals from the creditors. Another one is planned for Tuesday by those who want to make sure that Greece’s position in Europe is not threatened.

STATE POLICE entered a barn during a search Sunday in Malone, N.Y., for David Sweat.
Second escaped murderer caught Continued from Page 1 terviewed by investigators as of late Sunday, but any information he provides could be critical to the investigation, Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said. Sweat will be charged with escape, burglary and other charges, Wylie said. He and Matt are suspected of breaking into some of the region’s many cabins during their time on the lam. Wylie said prosecutors would wait for Sweat to recover before charging him. The men had been on the loose since June 6, when they cut their way out of a maximum-security prison about 30 miles away using power tools. Two prison workers have been charged with helping them. D’Amico said the men may have used black pepper to throw off the scent of dogs that were tracking them; he said Sweat’s DNA was recovered from pepper shakers found at one camp where the fugitives may have spent time. Cuomo said many questions remained unanswered in the case, including whether the inmates had other accomplices. “We have already started a full investigation,” he said. “But today ends with good
news. These were dangerous, dangerous men.” Matt and Sweat used power tools to saw through a steel cell wall and several steel steam pipes, bashed a hole through a 2-foot-thick brick wall, squirmed through pipes and emerged from a manhole outside the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora. Sweat was serving a sentence of life without parole in the killing of a sheriff’s deputy in Broome County in 2002. Matt was serving 25 years to life for the killing and dismembering of his former boss. An Amish dairy farmer said Sweat was captured on her property near a tree line, just feet from an electrified fence where the cows graze. Verba Bontrager, 38, who has run her family’s farm in Constable for the last nine years, said she was chatting with visitors inside when she heard two gunshots. Her children and a family friend went outside, saw a caravan of police cars and ambulances, and learned from a trooper that Sweat had been captured. She said her children had been home alone earlier, and even though she knew police were looking for Sweat, she never thought to be worried. Now, she said, they’re a
little shaken. “I think it’s kind of hard for them to go back to bed and sleep because of everything that went on,” Bontrager said. “We’re all kind of scared, I guess.” In nearby Malone, Cathy Leffler cheered outside Alice Hyde Medical Center, where Sweat was initially taken after being shot. She said she had gone to the hospital to “see it through.” “This has been going on for three weeks and our town was in an uproar and we haven’t been able to sleep,” Leffler said. “This is a relief for the town of Malone.” The manhunt broke open Friday afternoon when a person towing a camper heard a loud noise and thought a tire had blown. Finding there was no flat, the driver drove eight miles before looking again and finding a bullet hole in the trailer. A tactical team responding to the scene of the shot smelled gunpowder inside a cabin and saw evidence that someone had fled out the back door. A noise — perhaps a cough — ultimately did Matt in. A border patrol team discovered Matt, who was shot after failing to heed a command to raise his hands. He was shot
three times in the head, according to an autopsy. A coroner who attended the autopsy said Matt was clean, well-fed and dressed for the elements at the time he was killed. Prosecutors said Joyce Mitchell, a prison tailoring shop instructor who got close to the men while working with them, had agreed to be their getaway driver but backed out because she felt guilty for participating in the escape. Authorities also said Mitchell had discussed the killing of her husband as part of the plot. Mitchell pleaded not guilty June 15 to charges including felony promoting prison contraband, which authorities said included hacksaw blades and chisels. Authorities said the men had filled their beds in their adjacent cells with clothes to make it appear they were sleeping when guards made overnight rounds. On a cut steam pipe, the prisoners left a taunting note containing a crude caricature of an Asian face and the words “Have a nice day.” Prosecutors said the inmates apparently used tools stored by prison contractors, taking care to return them to their toolboxes after each night’s work.
Lawmakers debate taxes as deadline nears Continued from Page 1 Republican-orchestrated stunt designed to embarrass the governor. “If you want to spend more money, you have to be able to raise taxes and appropriate more revenue to do so,” said Rep. Garth Everett, R-Lycoming. “We had the opportunity to do that here in this chamber.” A $30 billion-plus state budget bill passed the state House on Saturday, 112-77, with all Democrats and two Republicans voting against it.
Republicans promoted their budget approach for filling the state’s substantial structural deficit without taxes. Democrats argued it would again shortchange schools after several years of inadequate state funding and that it employs shortterm fixes that will leave public finances on shaky financial footing. “The Republican budget is not balanced — it will lead to a $3 billion deficit and the Republican budget only puts $8 million into K-12 education,” said Wolf spokesman
Jeff Sheridan. “If final liquor and pension bills make it to his desk, the governor will review and make a decision at that time.” Pennsylvania’s next budget year begins at midnight Tuesday, a soft deadline to enact a spending plan for the coming year. A pension bill that passed the Senate is now pending in the House, and a vote is likely after lawmakers receive a report about the proposal from a state entity that reviews changes to pension systems. Wolf has said he wants rev-
enue from gas drilling to increase education funding, a tax shift to relieve people from local property taxes that fund schools and a budget balanced without what he describes as gimmicks. If the state budget does not pass or if Wolf vetoes it, state workers can remain on the job and would be paid under a 2009 state court decision. The Wolf administration, however, will lose some spending authority that will affect public schools and a range of human services.
Man sentenced to 15 to 30 years in prison for Clymer trail killing Continued from Page 1 take it back.” Patterson faced a maximum of 40 years in prison for conspiracy to first-degree murder, but his defense attorney, Thomas Kauffman, said he should not get a harsher sentence than Salsgiver. After intense questioning by state police on the day after Alexander was killed, Kauffman said, “Mr. Patterson came clean and said ‘Chris shot him.’ He has been consistent all along in saying that Chris Salsgiver shot Mr. Alexander.”
Kauffman reminded Bianco that Salsgiver admitted the killing in his guilty plea. “The facts are clear” that Patterson did no more than plan the killing, Kauffman said, “so I ask the court to impose a sentence no greater than that given to the principle in this shooting, a term of 15 to 30 years.” District Attorney Patrick Dougherty held the case as an example of the devastation of lives attributable to drugs. “This involves the tragic loss of someone’s life,”
Dougherty said. “We can’t just hit the pause button and reverse it. “This has affected the lives of three families, not only Mr. Alexander’s but Mr. Salsgiver’s and Mr. Patterson’s.” Alexander’s companion, Jeffrey Swigart, was key to the arrests and prosecution of Patterson and Salsgiver. He went with Alexander to meet the men on the trail after arranging to sell heroin to them, and fled as Alexander was shot to death. Swigart told investigators that a brief scuffle ensued
before he broke free of Patterson’s grasp, saw Salsgiver draw a gun, and ran away as he heard Salsgiver order Alexander to get on the ground. He heard the shot but didn’t see who pulled the trigger, Swigart told police. After state police completed their investigation and the Indiana County district attorney’s office prepared to bring the men to court, Dougherty put Patterson on trial first and asked the jury to find that Patterson was the gunman and to convict him of first-degree murder.

suspects was presented to the jury as a fact. Kauffman credited attorneys Thomas Rivosecchi and William H.

In addition to the prison term, Bianco this morning also ordered Patterson to pay a fine of $1,000, costs of prosecution totaling $3,758.75, and restitution of $954 to Alexander’s sister, Ronda Watkins, of Stone Mountain, Ga.

11 soldiers killed in Taliban ambush HERAT, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan official says 11 soldiers were killed in an ambush by Taliban insurgents in a western province that borders Iran. Hesanullah Hayat, the spokesman for the governor of Herat province, said today that an Afghan army convoy was on its way to neighboring Bagdhis province when the attack took place on Sunday. He said a large group of Taliban was involved in the attack. The region has seen an increase in insurgent activity since the Taliban launched their warmweather offensive in late April.
Plane crashes into home, killing 3 PLAINVILLE, Mass. (AP) — A small plane crashed into a house Sunday evening, killing three people on board, police said, but residents managed to flee as fire engulfed the home. The Beechcraft BE36 aircraft crashed into the house at about 5:45 p.m. Sunday, said Jim Peters of the Federal Aviation Administration. It had taken off from Lancaster Airport in Pennsylvania and was headed to Norwood Memorial Airport in Massachusetts. Fire crews extinguished the blaze nearly three hours after the crash in Plainville, about 30 miles southwest of Boston, said Massachusetts State Police spokesman Dave Procopio. He said the residents escaped and two adults and a juvenile in the plane were killed. The identities of the dead won’t be released until the National Transportation Safety Board has notified their families, Peters said.
Iran nuke talks to miss target By GEORGE JAHN Associated Press
VIENNA — A senior U.S. official acknowledged Sunday that Iran nuclear talks will go past their June 30 target date, as Iran’s foreign minister prepared to head home for consultations before returning to push for a breakthrough. Iranian media said Mohammed Javad Zarif’s trip was planned in advance. Still, the fact that he was leaving the talks so close to what had been the Tuesday deadline reflected both that the talks had a ways to go and his need to get instructions on how to proceed on issues where the sides remain apart — among them how much access Tehran should give to U.N. experts monitoring his country’s compliance to any deal. The United States insists on more intrusive monitoring than Iran is ready to give. With these and other dis-
putes still unresolved, the likelihood that the Tuesday target deadline for an Iran nuclear deal could slip was increasingly growing even before the U.S. confirmation. The dispute over access surfaced again Sunday, with Iranian Gen. Masoud Jazayeri saying that any inspection by foreigners of Iran’s military centers is prohibited. He said the attempt by the U.S. and its allies to “obtain Iran’s military information for years ... by the pressure of sanctions” will not succeed. But German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who joined the talks Friday, said Iran’s “nuclear activities, no matter where they take place,” must be verifiable. Officials said they could not speculate on how many days’ extension the talks would need. But Zarif told reporters that he planned to come back only on Tuesday, the day the negotiations were originally supposed to end
with a deal. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Zarif met in Vienna for their third encounter since Saturday. The foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany came — and then went, or planned to leave, in another reflection that the sides were not yet close to a deal. For weeks, all seven nations at the negotiating table insisted that Tuesday remains the formal deadline for a deal. But with time running out, a senior U.S. official acknowledged that was unrealistic. “Given the dates, and that we have some work to do ... the parties are planning to remain in Vienna beyond June 30 to continue working,” said the official, who demanded anonymity in line with State Department practice. Asked about the chances for a deal, Federica Mogherini, the European Union’s top diplomat, told reporters: “It’s
going to be tough ... but not impossible.” British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond spoke of “major differences” in the way of a deal. Steinmeier told German media: “I am convinced that if there is no agreement, everyone loses.” “Iran would remain isolated. A new arms race in a region that is already riven by conflict could be the dramatic consequence.” Both sides recognize that there is leeway to extend to July 9. As part of an agreement with the U.S. Congress, lawmakers then have 30 days to review the deal before suspending congressional sanctions. But postponement beyond that would double the congressional review period to 60 days, giving both Iranian and U.S. critics more time to work on undermining an agreement. Arguing for more time to allow the U.S. to drive a hard-

Israel intercepts Gaza-bound vessel JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s navy intercepted a Swedish vessel attempting to breach a naval blockade of Gaza early today and was redirecting it to an Israeli port, the military and the activists said. The military said that after exhausting all diplomatic efforts, the government ordered it to block the vessel. Israeli naval forces boarded the Marianne ship and searched it in international waters without needing to use any force, the military said. The ship was carrying about 20 activists, including Israeli Arab lawmaker Basel Ghattas and former Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki. Three other ships that were part of the original flotilla reversed course before encountering the Israeli navy.
Solar plane flies toward Hawaii TOKYO — A solar-powered plane took off from Japan early today to attempt a five-day flight over open water to Hawaii, the eighth leg of its bid to fly around the world without fuel. Its long wings lighting up the night sky, the Solar Impulse 2 departed at 3:03 a.m. after an unscheduled monthlong stop in Japan because of unfavorable weather. The flight to Hawaii, by far the longest of the journey so far, is risky because there are few if any places to land in an emergency. Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg is flying solo. The plane, which started in Abu Dhabi on March 9, is powered by more than 17,000 solar cells on its wings that recharge its batteries. From Hawaii, it is to continue on to Phoenix, then hopscotch across the United States and the Atlantic to Europe, before returning to Abu Dhabi.
er bargain, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — a fierce opponent of the talks — weighed in on Sunday against “this bad agreement, which is becoming worse by the day.” “It is still not too late to go back and insist on demands that will genuinely deny Iran the ability to arm itself with nuclear weapons,” he said. The goal of the talks involving Iran and the U.S., Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia is a deal that would crimp Tehran’s capacity to make nuclear weapons in exchange for sanctions relief. Iran insists it does not want such arms but is bargaining in exchange for sanctions relief. On Saturday, diplomats told The Associated Press that Iran was considering a U.S.-backed plan for it to send enriched uranium to another country for sale as reactor fuel, a step that would resolve one of several outstanding issues.

A TUNISIAN police officer patrolled the beach Sunday in front of the Imperial Marhaba Hotel in Sousse.
Tunisia launches nationwide manhunt for attack accomplices By ELAINE GANLEY Associated Press
SOUSSE, Tunisia — The student who massacred holidaymakers on a Tunisian beach and at a swank resort hotel acted alone during the attack but had accomplices who supported him beforehand, an Interior Ministry official said Sunday. Police were searching nationwide for more suspects after the slaughter of at least 38 people in Sousse on Friday, in Tunisia’s deadliest ever such attack. The attacker’s father and three roommates were detained and being questioned in the capital, Tunis, Interior Ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui told The Associated Press. The attacker, who was eventually shot and killed, has been identified as Seifeddine Rezgui, a 24-year-old graduate of Tunisia’s Kairouan University where he had been living with the other students. The attack was claimed by the radical Islamic State group. “We are sure that others helped, but did not participate,” Aroui said. “They participated indirectly.” Investigators believe the suspected accomplices provided the Kalashnikov assault rifle to Rezgui and helped him get to the scene, Aroui said. Authorities have yet to suggest a motive for the carnage. A security official close to the investigation said the student frequented an “unofficial” mosque in the Tunisian holy city of Kairouan for the past two years. The official said a swimmer had found the attacker’s cellphone in the Mediterranean. The phone showed the attacker spoke with his father just before his assault, the official said on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. Friday’s attack on the Imperial Marhaba Hotel shook this North African nation that thrives on tourism and has struggled since its 2011 revolu-

tion to be the one Arab Spring country that succeeds in transitioning from authoritarianism to democracy. The bloodshed shocked European nations across the Mediterranean worried for the safety of their citizens who populate Tunisian beaches — and about what it may mean for their own countries in an age of globalized terrorism. British counterterrorism police official Mark Rowley said Sunday that Britain has mobilized more than 600 officers and staff — one of the force’s largest counterterrorism deployments in recent years — in response to the attack. At least 15 Britons were among the 38 killed, the most serious attack on the British since 52 people were killed in attacks targeting London’s transport network in July 2005. Three Irish nationals were also among the dead. Britain’s Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said it was highly likely that “a significant number” of the victims yet to be identified would be British. Britain has deployed senior detectives and forensic teams to Tunisia. Ballistic tests showed the bullets came from a single Kalashnikov, Aroui said, adding that the attacker was equipped with four ammunition chargers — all found by investigators. Aroui said each might hold 30 rounds. Shortly after Friday’s shooting spree, Aroui had initially said that two people
were involved in the attack before backtracking. To some, the long duration of the assault — reportedly lasting nearly 30 minutes — and the high casualty count might indicate that more than one gunman was involved. The attacker methodically moved from the beach to the hotel’s swimming pool, reception and other areas. The death toll surpassed the 22 people killed in March at The National Bardo Museum outside Tunis — again mostly tourists, in a country known for its beaches and rich history. Tunisian authorities moved quickly to bolster security for tourists and other vacationers. Interior Minister Mohamed Najem Gharsalli announced late Saturday the deployment of 1,000 extra police officers at tourist sites and beaches. Tunisia’s tourism sector made up nearly 15 percent of the country’s gross domestic product in 2014. “We don’t want to make tourist establishments into barracks. That’s not our goal. But we must act to guarantee the security of the tourist sector,” he said. It wasn’t clear whether the reinforcements would all be in uniform. There is currently a tourism police unit in vacation areas of Tunisia and numerous police wear civilian clothes. Tourism Minister Selma Elloumi will meet with foreign ambassadors to lay out new security measures for tourists. On the night of the attack, Prime Minister Habib Essid announced a series of measures, including closing 80 mosques not condoned by the state. The hotel’s beach security chief Lotfi Torkhani told the AP on Sunday that two armed security officers, one at the main entrance and one at the beach, would be provided by the state on Wednesday. Andrea Rosa in Sousse, and Bouazza Ben Bouazza in Tunis, contributed to this report.
WASHINGTON — The issue of climate change and steps to slow its progress are expected to dominate the agenda when President Barack Obama and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff meet at the White House, but the leaders will also be striving to show they’ve smoothed things over following revelations that Brazil was a target of American spy programs. Rousseff arrives at the White House today for dinner with Obama. They meet again Tuesday for more formal talks and a joint White House news conference. “I would fully expect that climate and the environment will be an important part of the agenda,” said deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes. The meeting comes six months before world leaders gather at a United Nationssponsored conference in Paris in December to finalize a climate treaty. Obama has argued that a gradually warming planet could worsen social tensions and political instability worldwide, in addition to harming the U.S. Countries are making their positions on climate change clear ahead of the Paris talks. The U.S. already has announced a 2025 deadline to reduce emissions of heattrapping gases by 26 percent to 28 percent below 2005 levels. It was unclear whether Rousseff would announce her country’s targets while in Washington. Regardless, Rhodes billed the meeting as “another key milestone on the road to Paris.” Obama has engaged various counterparts on the issue, including the leaders of China and India, Rhodes noted. Climate change was also a major focus when leaders of the Group of Seven industrialized nations, including Obama, met in Germany in early June and agreed that the world should move away from using fossil fuels by the end of the century. Burning oil, gas and coal produces carbon dioxide, which traps the sun’s heat and warms the atmosphere. The Obama-Rousseff meeting comes nearly two years after she canceled a rare state visit planned for October 2013 to protest revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency had spied on her communications. Reports also said the NSA had hacked the computer network of the state-owned oil company Petrobras and had collected data on billions of emails and telephone calls that passed through Brazil, which is an important hub for trans-Atlantic fiber optic cables.

U.S. military’s training of Syrian rebels mired in problems By ROBERT BURNS
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON — Fewer than 100 Syrian rebels are currently being trained by the U.S. military to fight the Islamic State group, a tiny total for a sputtering program with a stated goal of producing 5,400 fighters a year. The training effort is moving so slowly that critics question whether it can produce enough capable fighters quickly enough to make a difference. Military officials said last week that they still hope for 3,000 by year’s end. Privately, they acknowledge the trend is moving in the wrong direction. On June 26, 2014, the White House said it was asking Congress for $500 million for a three-year train-and-equip program. It only got started in May, however. That program, together with a more advanced but also troubled parallel effort to rebuild the Iraqi army, is central to the U.S.-led effort to create ground forces capa-
ble of fighting IS without involving U.S. ground combat troops. The Syria initiative is seen more as a way of enabling moderate opposition forces to defend their own towns against the militants. Expectations for the Iraqis are much higher; the goal is to have them roll back IS and restore the Iraq-Syria border. The main problem thus far has been finding enough Syrian recruits untainted by extremist affiliations or disqualified by physical or other flaws. Of approximately 6,000 volunteers, about 1,500 have passed muster and await movement to training camps in other countries. Citing security concerns, the Pentagon will not say exactly how many are in training. Officials said that as of Friday, the number was under 100 and that none has completed the program. “We have set the bar very high on vetting,” said Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. Maj. Gen. Michael Nagata, the Central Command spe-
“WE ARE trying to recruit and identify people who ... can be counted on ... to fight, to have the right mindset and ideology.”
Ash Carter,
defense secretary cial operations commander who is heading the program, wants volunteers with more than a will to fight. “We are trying to recruit and identify people who ... can be counted on ... to fight, to have the right mindset and ideology,” and at the same time be willing to make combating IS their first priority, Defense Secretary Ash Carter told the House Armed Services Committee on June 17. “It turns out to be very hard to identify people who meet both of those criteria,” Carter said. Many Syrian rebel volunteers prefer to use their training to fight the government of President Bashar Assad, the original target of their revolution. While IS has been a brutal occupant of much of their country, the rebels see the extremists as fighting a parallel war.
The screening does not end with their preferred target. Dozens who were initially accepted have been sent home during training or quit because of revelations about their background or other problems, according to two senior U.S. defense officials. They were not authorized to discuss details and spoke on condition of anonymity. Jennifer Cafarella, a Syria analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, doubts the viability of the training program. “It is simply difficult to acquire the number of Syrian rebels willing to participate in the training under current parameters,” she said. Abdul-Jabbar Abu Thabet, commander of Aleppo Swords Battalion, a moderate faction that is fighting both Assad’s forces and IS, said he believes the Americans are
more interested in recruiting Syrian army defectors than moderate rebels. He said he would no longer give Americans the names of training candidates from his group, after having done so once and not receiving a U.S. response. “The Americans are saying they want to train rebels to fight against Daesh only,” he said by telephone from northern Syria, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group. “The fighting should be against Daesh, the (Assad) regime and everyone who is against the revolution.” The Pentagon announced in May that it had begun training 90 recruits in Jordan, but it has refused to give details. Defense officials, however, said last week that training also is underway in Turkey. Eventually it is to be expanded to bases in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Each trainee is receiving a U.S. stipend of between $250 and $400 a month, with the amount set by their skill level, performance and lead-
Palestinian to end 55-day hunger strike By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH Associated Press
RAMALLAH, West Bank — A Palestinian held without charges by Israel for the past year is ending a 55-day hunger strike and in exchange will be released in two weeks, his wife and an advocacy group for prisoners said today. Meanwhile, in the West Bank, a Palestinian woman stabbed a female Israeli paramilitary police officer in the neck and seriously injured her, police said. Rights groups have warned that Khader Adnan, 36, a senior activist in the militant Islamic Jihad group, is near death. His wife Randa said today, after visiting her husband in an Israeli hospital, that he lost a lot of weight and “looked like a small child.” She said he was unable to hold their 15-monthold son. Sivan Weizman of Israel’s Prison Authority confirmed that Adnan agreed to end his hunger strike as part of a deal, but had no details. The Israeli military, which would be involved in any agreement to release him, had no comment. It marked the second hunger strike for Adnan whose protests have trained a spotlight on so-called administrative detention, a practice under which Israel holds Palestinians without trial or charges. In a previous stint in administrative detention in
2012, Adnan went on a 66day fast to press for his freedom, sparking weeks-long hunger strikes by hundreds of Palestinian detainees. Under a deal reached late Sunday, Adnan ends his hunger strike and will be released July 12, said Kadoura Fares of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, an advocacy group. Islamic Jihad is a group that has been responsible for deadly attacks on Israelis. Last July, Adnan was given six months of administrative detention, followed by a fourmonth extension. When he received another four-month extension, he launched his hunger strike. Israel says administrative

a checkpoint, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. She was taken to a hospital. Officers on the scene apprehended the attacker and found two other knives on her. The attack comes a week after a similar stabbing attack in Jerusalem and a shooting attack at a West Bank settlement that killed an Israeli man. Israel has seen a wave of so-called “lone wolf” attacks in the past year by Palestinians using guns, knives and vehicles. Police say it’s difficult to stop such attacks because assailants act on their own, without working through established militant groups.

detentions are an important tool against Palestinian militants. The Israeli rights group B’Tselem says Israel’s largescale use of the practice violates international law which only permits it in rare cases. At the end of April, Israel held about 5,500 Palestinian security prisoners, including 396 in administrative detention, according to B’Tselem, which publishes official figures. After a drop in 2012, following the mass hunger strike, the number has been rising again over the past year to monthly levels ranging from 363 to 473 administrative detainees. In the West Bank attack, the Israeli police officer was stabbed in the neck today at
ership role, said a Pentagon spokeswoman, Navy Cmdr. Elissa Smith. The Pentagon also is wrestling with how to support those who complete the training and are sent back into Syria. Also, there are questions about how to avoid having their U.S.-supplied arms fall into the wrong hands inside Syria. “So these constraints that we put on ourselves, which are perfectly understandable, do progressively limit the number of inductees into the program,” Carter told Congress. “And that’s proving the thing that limits the growth of the program.” Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at the same House hearing that “within the next couple of months” the administration will have to decide what kinds of posttraining support the Syrian rebels will receive. He said the Pentagon is considering several forms, including intelligence, communications, logistics and battlefield airpower.

Friend: Singer recovering from aneurysm By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Joni Mitchell’s friend and conservator says it was an aneurysm that sent the folk singer to the hospital in March. Conservator Leslie Morris acknowledged the aneurysm in a statement posted on Mitchell’s website on Sunday, providing the first significant JONI details on MITCHELL Mitchell’s health status in the months since an ambulance was sent to her Los Angeles house to take her to the hospital. Morris says Mitchell is speaking — and speaking well — while recovering at home. She’s unable to walk, but is expected to soon and make a full recovery. Morris was appointed
PEOPLE Mitchell’s conservator in May when a judge decided Mitchell couldn’t make health care decisions for herself and had no relatives who could serve as conservator. Mitchell is a rock Hall of Famer who has won eight Grammies. ❏❏❏ LONDON — Kanye West declared himself “the greatest living rock star on the planet” at Britain’s Glastonbury festival. But that didn’t prevent a prankster from invading the rapper’s performance and upstaging him. West’s headline set Saturday night was briefly interrupted when comedian Lee Nelson stormed onto the stage, rapping along with the star. A security guard quickly bundled him offstage. Later, Nelson — whose real name is Simon Brodkin — tweeted: “Some people were saying Kanye shouldn’t headline Glastonbury so I thought I’d give him a hand.”
The prank amused many fans, who recalled how West crashed Taylor Swift’s 2009 acceptance speech at the Video Music Awards. It wasn’t the only amusing thing about West’s set, which presented a problem for the BBC’s subtitles team beKANYE cause of his WEST often expletive-laden lyrics. Many on Twitter shared the comic wordplay that appeared on their screens in place of offensive words — including one subtitle that simply read: “He raps.” West performed his hits, as well as Queen’s hit “Bohemian Rhapsody” — a rendition that divided opinion. He also gushed over his wife, Kim Kardashian, who was supporting him backstage, saying she “brought this poetry out of me.” The couple earli-
er arrived at the festival by helicopter. ❏❏❏ PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. — Former “Saved by the Bell” actor Dustin Diamond is asking a judge to delay his sentence for a Christmas Day stabbing in a Wisconsin bar. Diamond, 38, who played Screech on the popular 1990s TV show, was supposed to report to jail Sunday to begin serving a four-month sentence. But Diamond’s attorney has filed a motion to put the sentence on hold until a potential appeal is filed. If no appeal is filed, Diamond wants to be allowed to leave the state to play comedy gigs he has booked. Diamond’s attorney, Thomas Alberti, told The Associated Press that the actor is “resolved to serve his sentence and get this behind him.” Diamond was convicted earlier this month on two misdemeanor counts. A hearing on the motion is set for Thursday.

I don’t want her to feel like she’s our live-in maid or that we’re mean about the meals we prepare. We want to be the best in-laws we can be.

If necessary, create a chart to keep track of them. If there are things she is able to do, assign them to her. If she’s clueless, then teach her. Do not overload her, and make sure she understands that you and your husband also have chores you will be doing. Because she’s a picky eater, ask her to list what items she wants in the house so they are available.

TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press
Today is Monday, June 29, the 180th day of 2015. There are 185 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 29, 1767, Britain approved the Townshend Revenue Act, which imposed import duties on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper and tea shipped to the American colonies. (Colonists bitterly protested, prompting Parliament to repeal the duties — except for tea.) On this date: In 1613, London’s original Globe Theatre, where many of Shakespeare’s plays were performed, was destroyed by a fire sparked by a cannon shot during a performance of “Henry VIII.” In 1880, France annexed Tahiti, which became a French colony on Dec. 30, 1880. In 1913, the Second Balkan War broke out as Bulgaria attacked Serbia and Greece, its former allies from the First Balkan War. In 1927, the first trans-Pacific airplane flight was completed as Lt. Lester J. Maitland and Lt. Albert F. Hegenberger arrived at Wheeler Field in Hawaii aboard the Bird of Paradise, an Atlantic-Fokker C-2, after flying 2,400 miles from Oakland, Calif., in 25 hours, 50 minutes. In 1941, Polish statesman, pianist and composer Ignacy Jan Paderewski died in New York at age 80. In 1954, the Atomic Energy Commission voted against reinstating Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer’s access to classified information. In 1967, Jerusalem was reunified as Israel removed barricades separating the Old City from the Israeli sector. In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a trio of death sentences, saying the way they had been imposed constituted cruel and unusual punishment. (The ruling prompted states to effectively impose a moratorium on executions until their capital punishment laws could be revised.) In 1988, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Morrison v. Olson,
upheld the independent counsel law in a 7-1 decision (the sole dissenter was Justice Antonin Scalia). In 1992, the remains of Polish statesman Ignace Jan Paderewski, interred for five decades in the United States, were returned to his homeland in keeping with his wish to be buried only in a free Poland. In 2003, actress Katharine Hepburn died in Old Saybrook, Conn., at age 96. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, embracing nearly all the recommendations of a White House commission, said he was creating a national security service at the FBI to specialize in intelligence as part of a shake-up of the disparate U.S. spy agencies.

Eric Alfred Burns, a columnist, critic, poet and roleplaying game developer, said, “Greatness is more than potential. It is the execution of that potential. Beyond the raw talent. You need the appropriate training. You need the discipline. You need the inspiration. You need the drive.” In today’s deal, the declarer needs the discipline to look for the potential danger to his contract and the talent for spotting how to survive it. South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond three.
Given that the trumps are 3-2, how should declarer plan the play? South has three top losers: two spades and one club. A possible bad trump split would probably occur to everyone, but after taking the first trick and drawing trumps in three rounds, it would be easy to let one’s guard down. What other hurdle might declarer have to dodge? If clubs are 3-2, the contract will roll home; but what if they are 4-1? If East has acefourth, the contract is hopeless. If East has a singleton ace, starting the suit from the dummy will work, but then probably West would have led the club 10 at trick one. Instead, South should worry about West’s having ace-fourth. Declarer should cash his other two diamond tricks ending in his hand, then lead a low club toward the dummy. When the jack wins, South exits with a spade. West takes two tricks in the suit, but he is then endplayed. When West leads a low club, declarer plays low from the dummy, wins in his hand, and leads another club toward the dummy.

MLB: Braves 2, Pirates 1
NASCAR
On the mend
Busch earns first win since return By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer
GENE J. PUSKAR/Associated Press
PIRATES STARTER Jeff Locke walked five and struck out three in five innings. He allowed just one run, an RBI single by Nike Markakis in the fifth inning.
Missed Opportunities Bucs do too little, too late in loss to Braves By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
GENE J. PUSKAR/Associated Press
PIRATES CATCHER Francisco Cervelli tagged out the Braves’ Chris Johnson at home plate in the fourth inning.
PITTSBURGH — Andrew McCutchen texted Clint Hurdle on Sunday morning and told the Pittsburgh Pirates manager his bruised left elbow was just fine. The star center fielder experimented with several protective pads before settling on a large, black one. It hardly appeared to be an issue during his four plate appearances, which included three long fly balls and a single. “I just found whatever worked,” McCutchen said. “I tried on a couple of them. Said, ‘This one worked.’ Pretty easy. Pretty simple. I was fine.” So was Atlanta starter Alex Wood. The left-hander kept the Pirates off balance for more than seven innings as the Braves held on for a 2-1 win to snap a five-game losing streak and prevent the Pirates from picking up their ninth series sweep of the season.
WIMBLEDON
Williams cruises in first-round match By The Associated Press
Serena Williams was far from dominant at the start, but more than good enough at the end. The top-seeded American opened her quest for a true Grand Slam with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Margarita Gasparyan of Russia earlier today in the first round of Wimbledon. Williams has won three straight major titles, including the Australian Open and French Open. If she wins the title at the All England Club and then defends her title at the U.S. Open, she would be the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win all four Grand Slam titles in the same season. Williams started slow on the grass on Court 1, trailing 3-1 before turning things around and advancing to the second round. She was just a half-hour into Wimbledon and was already getting warned to watch her language. In the sixth game of her firstround match against Gas-
paryan, a qualifier ranked 113th, Williams slid on the grass and fell during a point. After the next point, a lineswoman trotted over to the chair umpire, who announced: “Code violation, audible obscenity, Miss Williams.” Williams glared at the lineswoman as she went back over to her position behind the baseline. Victoria Azarenka was the first player to reach the second round. The 23rd-seeded Belarussian, a two-time Australian Open champion, beat Anett Kontaveit of Estonia 6-2, 6-1 on Court No. 12. On the men’s side, Nick Kyrgios hit it right on the head — on the head of a linesman, that is. The 26th-seeded Australian was hitting back to the ball boy during his opening match when he sent an errant shot toward the corner of the court that bounced off the top of the head of an unsuspecting linesman. Continued on Page 17
“He made pitches and he worked through (situations),” Hurdle said. “We didn’t have a lot of situations to push him.” Pittsburgh’s best chance came in the seventh when McCutchen and Starling Marte hit consecutive singles to start the inning. Francisco Cervelli tried to bunt for a hit. Wood deftly pounced on it and nipped Cervelli at first. He was credited with a sacrifice as the runners moved up, but they never advanced. Wood struck out Jordy Mercer and got Sean Rodriguez on a popup. Hurdle didn’t order the bunt, but hardly took issue with the attempt. “He thought he was going to make a baseball play and give the guy behind him an opportunity,” Hurdle said. “(Wood) made a good play. I don’t have a ‘Don’t bunt for a base hit’ sign. He had a feel for it.” Cervelli said he would try it again if given the opportunity. Continued on Page 16
SONOMA, Calif. — After two practice sessions at Sonoma Raceway, Kyle Busch spent an evening icing his surgically repaired left foot. He repeated the routine the night before Sunday’s race, all in an effort to minimize pain and give himself the best chance to pick up a much-needed victory. Just five races after returning from a broken right leg and shattered left foot, Busch made his way to victory lane to continue what already has been an impressive comeback. He chased down Jimmie Johnson to win Sunday at Sonoma Raceway for his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory in 35 races. The next goal for Busch? Cracking the top 30 in points to earn a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. “Now I don’t have to bust my butt and overdrive the car every week in order to get wins,” Busch said. “Now I can just concentrate on running top-three, topfive, top-eight — just getting those finishes and points. “If we can do that, the points have got to come and fall on the line.” Busch was injured when he crashed into a concrete wall during the Feb. 21 Xfinity Series race the day before the Daytona 500. He missed 11 races but recovered far faster than anyone expected and returned to racing late last month. NASCAR granted him a waiver upon his return that made him Chase eligible should he qualify, and Sunday’s victory is the first step. But he still must rank inside the top-30 in points to make the Chase. Continued on Page 17

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP: Semifinals
Lloyd coming up big for U.S. By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer
MONTREAL — Carli Lloyd’s career is defined by big moments. The latest came in the U.S. victory Friday over China, with a goal that ultimately sent the Americans through to the semifinals at the Women’s World Cup. Now with goals in consecutive games for the U.S., the 32-yearold midfielder could face her biggest challenge in top-ranked Germany on Tuesday. “I don’t just train to be a participant,” she said. “I train to come up big in big moments. That’s when I know I’ve CARLI got to roll the sleeves LLOYD up.” It wasn’t always this way. In 2003 Lloyd was cut from the under-21 national team and she was so discouraged that she decided to quit the sport after playing out her career at Rutgers. But, in what would turn out to be her pivotal moment as a soccer player, the New Jersey native reached out to coach James Galanis, who went on to become her personal coach and mentor. Lloyd often speaks of Galanis’ contribution to her career, and how whenever she has doubts it is Galanis who reels her back in. Continued on Page 17
“I THINK over the years I’ve earned the respect of my teammates, as someone who first got on the scene and wasn’t internationally ready, and has just continued to put in the work.” Carli Lloyd

BRIEFS From Gazette wire services
James declines option on contract CLEVELAND (AP) — For the third time in six seasons, LeBron James is an unrestricted free agent. The difference this time is he has no plans to move again. The Cleveland star will not exercise a $21.6 million option on his contract for next season, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because neither the Cavaliers nor James were publicly discussing the process. James’ decision has been widely expected for months. The approach allows him to sign a new maximum contract — likely another twoyear deal with a player option for 2017-18 — that will pay him more than he would have made under his previous contract. His max number for next season, which is tied to how high the salary cap rises, is expected to be more than $22 million.
Gatlin sets 200-meter record EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Moments after crossing the finish line, Justin Gatlin turned to his left and pointed at the clock to make sure everyone noticed what he just did. Hard to miss that time. Somewhere, a certain Jamaican sprinter is no doubt hearing about it, too. Gatlin breezed to the 200meter title at the U.S. championships in a meet-record 19.57 seconds Sunday. He dominated a race in which he had the lead coming off the turn. It was all over after that, given how he has been running lately and that his legs were feeling particularly fresh. Training partner Isiah Young was second, 0.36 seconds behind, and 30-yearold Wallace Spearmon third as he rounds back up to speed after sports hernia surgery. In the women’s 200, Oregon standout Jenna Prandini won in 22.20. Candyce McGrone was second and Jeneba Tarmoh third.
Kings plan to buy out Richards UNDATED (AP) — A person familiar with the decision has told The Associated Press that the Los Angeles Kings placed veteran forward Mike Richards on unconditional waivers for the purpose of buying out the remainder of his contract. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity on Sunday because the Kings have not announced the decision. It’s a pricey move for the Kings, because Richards has five years left on a $69 million, 12-year contract that carries a $5.75 million annual salary cap hit. Richards’ future in Los Angeles was already in question after the Kings demoted the 10-year NHL veteran to Manchester, their American Hockey League affiliate, in January. The person also said Montreal forward P.A. Parenteau and Anaheim defenseman Mark Fistric have also been placed on unconditional waivers. • UNDATED (AP) — Nicklas Lidstrom cherished just being on the ice. The seven Norris Trophies as the best defenseman of his era and four Stanley Cups as a cornerstone of the Detroit Red Wings make him a strong favorite to be elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame today in his first year of eligibility. But when Lidstrom looks back on his career, the 1,564 regular-season and 263 playoff games stand out. “People are asking you how many games you played and how many you missed, and that’s something I’m very proud of that I played in so many games,” Lidstrom said. “I haven’t missed many games.” Lidstrom, who will likely be joined in the class of 2015 by former Red Wings teammate Sergei Fedorov and fellow dominant defenseman Chris Pronger, never missed more than 12 games in a season. He never missed more than six until he was 41 years old.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP
Matz helps Mets finish sweep By The Associated Press In an astonishing debut, Steven Matz became the only major league pitcher to drive in four runs in his first career game while leading the New York Mets to a 7-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Pitching about 50 miles from home with a huge cheering section on hand, Matz got three hits in rejuvenating an anemic offense and helping the Mets to a three-game sweep. He was awfully impressive on the mound, too, working into the eighth inning after giving up a home run to his first batter. Matz became the first player — any position — in franchise history to drive in four runs in his first big league game, including a two-run double off Josh Smith. The team’s latest prized pitching prospect, Matz had to wait 3½ extra hours to make his much-anticipated debut because the teams needed 13 innings to first complete Saturday’s game that was suspended by rain. Picking up in the seventh inning, New York won 2-1 with help from two miscues by Reds infielders. Bobby Parnell got the win, while Nate Adcock took the loss. DODGERS 2, MARLINS 0: Zack Greinke pitched 7 2-3 innings for his first victory since May 5, and Los Angeles took the rubber game of its series against Miami. Greinke allowed four hits and held the opposition without a run for his third start in a row, extending his scoreless streak to 20 2-3 innings. Adrian Gonzalez had three hits, including an RBI double. Howie Kendrick had two hits and drove in a run. Two relievers completed a five-hitter for the Dodgers’ 11th shutout. NATIONALS 3-5, PHILLIES 2-8: Cesar Hernandez had four hits, and Philadelphia stopped Washington’s eight-game winning streak with a victory over the Nationals in the second half of a doubleheader. Maikel Franco drove in three runs for Philadelphia. Severino Gonzalez allowed four runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings. Ian Desmond and Jose Lobaton homered for Washington. In the opener, Stephen Strasburg struck out a season-high nine in seven strong innings to lead the Nationals to a victory. Jeff Francoeur homered for the Phillies, and Kevin Correia took the loss. GIANTS 6, ROCKIES 3: Madison Bumgarner pitched into the eighth inning and hit his eighth career homer, helping San Francisco beat Colorado. Buster Posey drove in three runs for San Francisco, and Matt Duffy was a single short of the cycle. Brandon Crawford connected for his 10th homer, matching his career-best total from last season. Bumgarner allowed two runs on Nolan Arenado’s 23rd homer in the first and five hits in 7 2-3 innings. He also belted a solo shot in the seventh and recorded his 1,000th career strikeout. Arenado added another homer in the ninth against Sergio Romo. DIAMONDBACKS 6, PADRES 4: Welington Castillo, Jake Lamb and David Peralta homered, leading Arizona over San Diego. Chase Anderson pitched seven innings to help Arizona. Brad Ziegler worked the ninth for his 12th save. Derek Norris homered twice for San Diego, and Matt Kemp had a solo shot. San Diego’s Odrisamer Despaigne allowed five runs — four earned — and three hits over 5 2-3 innings. CARDINALS 4, CUBS 1: Carlos Martinez was stingy before and after a lengthy

THE ANGELS’ Daniel Robertson jumped out of the way of a pitch during Sunday’s game in Anaheim. rain delay, and St. Louis hit a seasonhigh six doubles to sweep Chicago with a victory that extended their winning streak to six games. Jason Heyward, Yadier Molina and Matt Carpenter had run-scoring doubles for St. Louis, which is a major league-best 51-24. The Cardinals’ 29-7 home record also is tops in the majors and is the second-best start in franchise history. Martinez allowed one run and two hits in six innings with six strikeouts for the Cardinals. Jason Hammel took the loss for the Cubs, who have dropped five in a row. AMERICAN LEAGUE TIGERS 5, WHITE SOX 4: James McCann hit a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to complete a dramatic Detroit comeback, and the Tigers beat Chicago. Detroit trailed 4-0 before scoring four runs in the eighth off Chicago starter Jeff Samardzija. Victor Martinez tied it with a three-run double. Joakim Soria pitched a perfect top of the ninth, and McCann’s one-out drive off Zach Putnam cleared the fence in left field to end the game. BLUE JAYS 3, RANGERS 2: Josh Donaldson hit his 18th home run, Drew Hutchison won his fifth straight decision and Toronto beat Texas. Donaldson got two hits as the Blue Jays sent Texas to its eighth loss in 10 games. Hutchison allowed one unearned run and four hits in 5 2-3 innings. Roberto Osuna got four outs for his second save as the Blue Jays beat the Rangers for the 12th time in 16 meetings. RED SOX 5, RAYS 3: David Ortiz, Pablo Sandoval and Alejandro De Aza homered to back the pitching of Justin Masterson and lead Boston over Tampa Bay. The victory clinched a series win for the last-place Red Sox and stopped Chris Archer’s career-best six-game winning streak. Ortiz hit a two-run shot off Archer in the fourth inning. Sandoval and De Aza went deep in the second inning for a 2-0 lead. Sandoval also drove in a sixth-inning run with a sacrifice fly that made it 5-1. ASTROS 3, YANKEES 1: Rookie Carlos Correa doubled twice and scored the tiebreaking run on a triple by Evan Gattis in the seventh inning to help Houston top New York. Collin McHugh allowed a season-low two hits — both singles — and one run and eight strikeouts in eight innings for his third straight win. Luke Gregerson pitched a perfect ninth for his 18th save. Michael Pineda allowed seven hits and three runs and struck out eight in eight innings.
ANGELS 3, MARINERS 2: Kole Calhoun scored the winning run on a wild pitch by Tom Wilhelmsen in the 10th after Albert Pujols grounded into a basesloaded double play against a five-man infield, and Los Angeles beat Seattle. Trevor Gott earned his first major league victory with a perfect 10th. Johnny Giavotella led off the Angels’ half of the 10th with a line-drive single off the glove of Wilhelmsen. Calhoun followed with a hit-and-run single, and Mike Trout was intentionally walked. Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon then motioned left fielder Dustin Ackley in for a five-man infield, and Pujols grounded into a 6-2-3 double play started by shortstop Brad Miller. But Wilhelmsen uncorked his first wild pitch of the season on a full count with runners at second and third and rookie Kyle Kubitza at the plate. ORIOLES 4-8, INDIANS 0-0: Chris Tillman pitched seven innings of four-hit ball to win his fourth straight decision, and Baltimore breezed past Cleveland to complete a doubleheader sweep. In the afternoon game, Ubaldo Jimenez tossed eight crisp innings and Baltimore got home runs from Jimmy Paredes and Manny Machado. Tillman struck out six and walked none, and hasn’t lost since May 31. Chris Davis, Travis Snider and Chris Parmelee homered in a six-run fourth that made it 8-0. The Indians summoned Toru Murata from the minors to make his major league debut in the nightcap. He allowed five runs in 3 1-3 innings. ROYALS 5, ATHLETICS 3: Jeremy Guthrie struck out a season-high seven batters in six innings and Salvador Perez homered to help Kansas City complete a three-game sweep of Oakland. Omar Infante hit a tiebreaking single in a three-run sixth inning for the Royals. Guthrie allowed two runs and topped 1,000 career strikeouts. Wade Davis pitched the ninth inning for his ninth save. INTERLEAGUE BREWERS 5, TWINS 3: Ryan Braun and Adam Lind hit two-run homers in the eighth inning and Milwaukee beat Minnesota. Down 5-1, the Twins rallied in the ninth. Torii Hunter, who homered twice Saturday, hit a two-run homer off Francisco Rodriguez. Two outs later, the Twins got a pair of singles before Brian Dozier looked at strike three for the final out. Will Smith retired the Twins in order in the eighth, helping the Brewers win the series.

Braves snap losing streak Continued from Page 15 “I trust my teammates,” he said. “We’ve got everybody’s back, so I just put it there.” Atlanta didn’t do much against Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke (4-4), who allowed only an RBI single by Nick Markakis in the fifth. Locke walked five and struck out three, running up his pitch count. He left after the fifth. Jace Peterson homered off reliever Vance Worley in the seventh to give the Braves a little breathing room. “I felt I could have attacked a little more and eat another inning or two,” Locke said. “But the guys behind me did a good job.” Jason Grilli, an All-Star closer for the Pirates in 2013 who took the loss in a 10-inning defeat Friday, made Wood’s hard work hold up but not without some excitement. Cervelli walked with two outs in the ninth and Jordy Mercer had an RBI double for his third hit. Center fielder Cameron Maybin and left fielder Eury Perez collided as both tried to make the catch at the wall in left-center. Perez stayed down for several moments but walked off the field without assistance. Grilli struck out pinch-hitter Gregory Polanco for his 21st save in 23 chances. “The kid went out there, he battled, tried to cover some fastballs,” Hurdle said. “(Grilli) made a good pitch late. I thought the kid gave it a good shot trying to get something done.” McCutchen appeared just fine less than 24 hours after the first inning of Saturday’s game, when Julio Teheran’s 92 mph fastball smacked him in the elbow — the eighth time this season and the 48th time in his career he’s been hit. The 2013 NL MVP joked he might need to “drop kick” an opposing pitcher to stop getting buzzed. There were no such fireworks. While Wood did hit Jung Ho Kang with a pitch in the first, the lefty never came close to McCutchen. The Pirates spent most of Wood’s outing rarely coming close to his eclectic mix. The odd career of Pirates outfielder Jose Tabata took another turn when Pittsburgh designated him for assignment for a second time. Tabata, who signed a six-year contract in 2011 and is due $4 million this season, hit .289 in 27 games with the Pirates after beginning the season at Triple-A Indianapolis. General manager Neal Huntington said he believes Tabata is open to returning to the minors if he clears waivers. The Pirates called up outfielder Gorkys Hernandez and immediately inserted him into the lineup. Hernandez went hitless in his first appearance in the majors since 2012.

Busch stays on the mend Continued from Page 15 He started Sunday’s race ranked 39th in the standings, and the win moved him to 37th. He has 10 races left to crack the top 30 — he’s 136 points out of 30th — and heads next week back to Daytona, where his season nearly ended before it began. To crack the top 30, Busch has to average roughly a 14th-place finish in each of the next 10 races. “Certainly it’s feasible, this team is good enough,” Busch said. Kurt Busch finished second as the brothers notched their first 1-2 finish in Sprint Cup. “I was trying to think if we’ve ever finished one two, and we did it today. That’s a pretty special moment,” Kurt Busch said. “I’ve got over 500 starts. I know he’s over 300. Can you imagine, 800 starts between the two of us, we almost have 30 wins each, and that’s the first time we’ve ever finished onetwo? “I now wish I would have gotten up there and moved him.” Busch also praised his little brother’s comeback from both his injuries and in winning on a course in which he needed to rely heavily on both legs. “To have your leg broken, your foot shattered, to never be injured and out of the car ... rehab is very difficult, and it is a mental challenge, and I’m very proud of Kyle for what he’s done to get back in the car as soon as he did,” Kurt said. “Then to be competitive at a track with hard, hard braking and to use his left foot to drive to victory lane, I’m very proud of him.” Busch’s win at Sonoma was aided by a terrific restart with seven laps remaining. On fresh tires, he picked his way past five cars and set his sights on leader Jimmie Johnson. Johnson, who did not pit during the final caution, was a sitting duck for drivers on new tires. Johnson was immediately concerned about not pitting under the final caution when he saw Bowyer lead a pack of cars in for service, but crew chief Chad Knaus remained upbeat on the radio and insisted they were still going to win the race. But Busch moved through traffic too quickly for Johnson to hang on for what would have been his fifth win of the season. He led a race-high 45 laps. “I was just surprised how fast they got through traffic and got to my bumper,” Johnson said. “Tires were definitely the call, but we had a strategy that we were going to stick to. We were one caution away from it working out just right.” Clint Bowyer finished third and said once Kyle Busch got past him on the restart, his shot at the win was over. He still notched the first top-five of the season for Michael Waltrip Racing. Kevin Harvick was fourth and followed by Joey Logano and finally Johnson, who dominated the race but faded to sixth after the final restart. Tony Stewart was in contention for his first top-five finish of the season but a poor pit stop during the final caution dropped him deep into the field. Furious with his crew on his radio, Stewart silently collected a 12thplace finish. AJ Allmendinger, widely considered the favorite to win, started from the pole but was not as fast as expected early in the race and ultimately succumbed to an engine issue. He finished 37th. “I think we were going in the right direction, it just feels like a swift kick to everything right now,” Allmendinger said. “It would have just been interesting the way it played out.”
GOLF ROUNDUP
JESSICA HILL/Associated Press
BUBBA WATSON won the Travelers Championship on Sunday on the second playoff hole.
Watson outlasts Casey in playoff for victory By The Associated Press Bubba Watson needs two more wins to reach the goal he set for his career. The long-driving lefty made an 8-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Sunday to outlast Paul Casey and win the Travelers Championship for the second time. It was the eighth PGA Tour victory for the two-time Master's champion, who said he long ago set 10 wins as his benchmark. “I think double digits, if you have doubledigit wins this day and age, I think that's pretty good,” he said. “Tiger (Woods) thinks differently than I do, but I just think that 10 wins is a big number.” The 36-year-old got his first PGA Tour win here in 2010, also in a playoff. On Sunday, he improved to 5-1 in tournaments when tied for the lead after the final round. Casey overcame a three-stroke deficit with five to play, catching Watson with a 16-under 264 in light rain at TPC River Highlands. But the 37-year-old Englishman, playing the tournament for the first time, lost his chance at the title while playing the par-4 18th for the third time when his third shot from a greenside bunker flew over the green and landed on the cart path. Watson hit his 160-yard approach just to the right of the hole to set up his winning putt. “I hung on, and that's what you have to do sometimes to win,” Watson said. Watson also needed extra holes to win the WGC-HSBC Champions in China in November at the start of the season and won the Travelers in 2010 in a three-way playoff for his first win on the PGA Tour. “It's just about staying calm,” he said. “That's what you have to do, you just breathe and walk slower, take some deep breaths and focus on the fact that no matter what you still come in second place.” Watson had a chance to win in regulation. But the two-time Masters champion bogeyed the 17th, while Casey closed with three birdies on the final five holes, sandwiched around a bogey on 15. Casey watched in the scoring trailer with 9month-old son Lex on his lap as Watson made a 3½-foot par putt to force the playoff. Watson finished with a 67, and Casey shot 65. “There are always ifs and buts and could haves,” Casey said. “But the goal was to give myself a chance to win, and I did that.” This was the sixth time since 2004 this tournament has gone to overtime. Brian Harman, who had a one-stroke lead after 54 holes, had a 69 to finish a stroke out of the playoff. After 39 straight holes without a bogey, he had back-to-back bogeys on Nos. 9 and 10 to fall two strokes behind Watson. His birdies on the final two holes were not enough to catch Casey and Watson.
USGA: Jeff Maggert won the U.S. Senior Open on Sunday for his second major victory on the Champions Tour this year. Maggert shot a 5-under 65 at sun-drenched Del Paso Country Club, edging defending champion Colin Montgomerie by two strokes. Maggert made six birdies and one bogey to finish at 10-under 270. The 51-year-old American won his first senior major last month in Alabama in the Regions Tradition. His only other Champions Tour victory came in Mississippi last year in his debut on the 50-and-over circuit. He has three wins in more than 20 years on the PGA Tour, the last in the 2006 St. Jude Classic. Montgomerie closed with a 66. Grant Waite and Bernhard Langer tied for third at 7 under. Waite had a 67, and Langer, who shared the lead with Maggert after three rounds, shot a 68. The victory moves Maggert into an elite class on the Champions Tour. Maggert (two), Montgomerie (three) and Langer (three) have combined to win the last eight majors. Tom Watson missed his chance to carve his place as the oldest winner of a senior major at age 65. He started one off the lead but was never a factor, shooting a 69 to tie for seventh at 5 under. LPGA: Na Yeon Choi eagled the par-4 16th hole from the fairway to take the lead and won the NW Arkansas Championship by two strokes for her ninth LPGA Tour title. Choi closed with a 2-under 69 to finish at 15-under 198 at Pinnacle Country Club. Choi’s 8-iron from 142 yards on the 16th one-hopped into the hole to give her a oneshot lead over Stacy Lewis, the defending champion and local favorite. The South Korean player followed with another 8-iron to a foot on the par-3 17th and closed with a par. Choi also won the season-opening Coates Golf Championship in Florida. Mika Miyazato finished second at 13 under after a 67. PGA EUROPEAN: Spain’s Pablo Larrazabal won the BMW International Open for the second time, closing with a bogey-free 6-under 66 for a one-stroke victory. Larrazabal finished at 17-under 271 at Munich Eichenried. He also won the event in 2011. Sweden’s Henrik Stenson finished second. He shot a 65. WEB.COM: Rob Oppenheim won the Air Capital Classic for his first Web.com Tour title, closing with a 6-under 64 for a one-stroke victory over Andy Winings. The 35-year-old Oppenheim finished at 13under 267 at Crestview Country Club. Making his 129th tour start, Oppenheim earned $108,000 to jump from 70th to 13th on the money list with $146,227. Winings bogeyed the final hole for a 71.

Lloyd coming up big for U.S. Continued from Page 15 Lloyd would face challenges under former U.S. coaches Greg Ryan and Pia Sundhage, constantly trying to prove she belonged in the starting lineup. “I think over the years I’ve earned the respect of my teammates, as someone who first got on the scene and wasn’t internationally ready, and has just continued to put in the work,” Lloyd said. Lloyd and her team had struggled to find their offense in the group stage at this year’s World Cup. The goals were not coming like the team — and their fans — had expected. The United States nonetheless advanced atop its group to the knockout stage, then had a lackluster 2-0 victory against Colombia in the round of 16, scoring both goals in the second half with Colombia down a player. Lloyd scored for the first time in the tournament, on a penalty kick, against Colombia. Afterward she said: “At the end of the day, we all know we’re not playing our best football, and we’re still finding ways to win. I think that the history of this team is no matter if it’s good, bad, we still find a way to get it done.” The turnaround came on Friday, when the United States defeated China 1-0 in the quarterfinals. Lloyd scored the lone goal in what looked like the most inspired performance by the U.S. team so far in Canada. Lloyd, wearing the captain’s armband for the match, was helped by the play of Morgan Brian, who started in place of midfielder Lauren Holiday. Brian sat back as a holding midfielder, allowing Lloyd to move around more freely up top. Holiday and fellow midfielder Megan Rapinoe were suspended for the match because of accumulated yellows. Both will be able to return against Germany. Lloyd’s breakthrough was her 65th goal in 200 international appearances. Julie Johnston lofted a long ball into the penalty area and Lloyd met it with her head from 10 yards from out and it bounced past goalkeeper Fei Wang in the 51st minute. Afterward, Lloyd said Galanis would be proud. “He’s served a million balls to me over the years, and he’s kept telling me I need to be an aerial presence and attack the ball,” she said.
Heroics are nothing new to Lloyd: She scored the winning goal in overtime to beat Brazil for the gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and scored both U.S. goals in the 2012 London Olympics final against Japan. She’s the only player to score the winning goals in consecutive Olympic finals. Now comes Germany, and Lloyd certainly has the chance to build on her legacy. With Rapinoe and Holiday back, it’s uncertain how coach Jill Ellis will approach the match. And Ellis isn’t saying. Germany poses a considerable challenge to the Americans. The German team won its quarterfinal by beating third-ranked France 5-4 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 tie. The United States has an 18-4-7 record against Germany, including a 3-2 edge in World Cup matches. Lloyd, who often points to the success of her teammates more than her own, predicted a group effort. “We’ve got the momentum now, which is most important,” she said. “It took us five games to get it going. That’s what is great about this team: Everybody steps up. Everybody contributes.” NOTES: In the semifinals, Germany faces the United States on Tuesday in Montreal, while Japan goes up against England on Wednesday in Edmonton, Alberta. The winners go to Vancouver, British Columbia, for the final at BC Place on July 5, the losers head to the consolation game on July 4 at Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium. Germany is the topranked team in the world. The Germans have been to every Women's World Cup since it started in 1991, winning in 2003 and ’07. The team was shaken in 2011 when it failed to make it to the final on home soil. The Germans were dispatched in the quarterfinals by eventual champion Japan. The United States is ranked No. 2, having fallen out of the top spot late last year after a six-year stint at No. 1. The U.S. women have also been to every World Cup, winning the first in 1991 and then again in 1999. The Americans are the only team to have reached the semifinals in all seven tournaments. The United States came close to claiming a third title four years ago, but fell to Japan in the final on penalty kicks.
Williams cruises in first-round match Continued from Page 15 The linesman wasn’t hurt, and he and Kyrgios soon shared a laugh with the crowd. The linesman then wiped his brow and Kyrgios got back to work against Diego Schwartzman, jumping out to a 6-0, 6-2 lead.
Rain didn’t look to be a problem on the opening day at the All England Club. Play started with some sun sneaking through the gray clouds overhead. The dry weather and warm temperatures are expected to stay well into the first week.

As an adult, Woody went west to escape the Dust Bowl in the Midwest. He worked and sang to support himself. In California, he sang on the radio and became popular with other people who had moved away from the Dust Bowl states.

Woody Guthrie plays his guitar in 1943. The songwriter became a crusader, or supporter, for people who were â&#x20AC;&#x153;outsiders.â&#x20AC;? He wrote songs and spoke out against dishonest politicians and businessmen.
from The Mini Page Š 2015 Universal Uclick
His wandering style continued when he moved to Portland, Oregon, then to Pampa, Texas, with his family. He had married in 1933, but his constant moving around was difficult for his wife and three children. The couple divorced, and by 1942, Woody was back in New York City. During World War II, Woody served in the Merchant Marines and the U.S. Army. He continued to write songs to entertain and encourage the troops. He remarried in 1945 and had four more children.
Moving around
Woody Guthrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs carried messages about fairness and justice. Titles such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Got No Homeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talking Dust Bowl Bluesâ&#x20AC;? spoke not only to victims of the Dust Bowl and political corruption, but to other folk music singers and songwriters. In 1940, Woody headed for New York City, where he recorded his first album of original songs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dust Bowl Ballads.â&#x20AC;? He joined other folk artists and became well-known, even having his own radio show.

one-minute clip of her new music video for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Better Have My Money,â&#x20AC;? was among the A-listers who sat in the audience, and she sang along during Omarion and Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance of the pop hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Post to Be.â&#x20AC;? Alicia Keys surprised the crowd when she joined The Weeknd to sing his hit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Earned It.â&#x20AC;? Smokey Robinson received the Lifetime Achievement Award, performed a medley of his hits and earned a standing ovation from the audience when he spoke about Hollywood and humility. Ne-Yo, Robin Thicke and rising singer Tori Kelly paid tribute to the icon. And Patti LaBelle was a fan favorite too, hitting high notes alongside Tamar Braxton and K. Michelle. Minaj, who won the fan-voted viewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice award, brought her mom onstage when she collectNICKI ed her sixth MINAJ consecutive best female hip-hop artist award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momma, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done for me. I love you so much,â&#x20AC;? said Minaj, who performed with rapperboyfriend Meek Mill later in the show. BeyoncĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wins included best female R&B/pop artist and video director of the year. Online: http://www.bet.com

Though she was absent, BeyoncĂŠ won three BET Awards, including video of the year for â&#x20AC;&#x153;7/11,â&#x20AC;? while Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj also won multiple awards at the all-star show Sunday night. But the show was less about the awards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; video of the year didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even make the live broadcast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as performances stole the night. As Janet Jackson entered the stage at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Brown screamed loudly, Minaj whipped out her phone to record the moment and Laverne Cox was tearyeyed. The pop star was honored with the Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual Award as she made one of her first public performances in some time as she readies a new album and tour this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a very long moment to this journey ... my heart is so full,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said to the audience, which included her mother and father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To my beautiful mother, to my beautiful father, and to my entire family, your love is unbreakable.â&#x20AC;? An impressive Ciara, Jason Derulo and Tinashe paid tribute to the 49-year-old veteran by mimicking her signature dance moves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twenty-five years ago we created â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rhythm Nation,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; hoping the world would be a better place, but today thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more to be done,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. Jackson wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only showstopper Sunday: Diddy
JANET JACKSON ... received special award dropped it like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot at the awards show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; figuratively and literally. The entertainer fell during an exciting performance that celebrated Bad Boy Recordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 20th-year anniversary, one of the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highlights. Lil Kim, Mase, Faith Evans, 112 and The Lox joined Diddy as they performed a medley of past hits. A video montage of rap king Notorious B.I.G. appeared in the background as his verse from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mo Money Mo Problemsâ&#x20AC;? played. Brown performed multiple times, and won best male R&B/pop artist and the fandemonium award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot has changed in my life, a lot of mistakes, a lot of lessons learned. The best thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most thankful for is my daughter,â&#x20AC;? he said onstage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so thankful and happy to have the loyal fans ... and everybody here that knows me, to know me is to love me.â&#x20AC;? The show Sunday brought

CHRIS BROWN performed Sunday at the BET Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. a mix of funny and serious moments. Rapping on top of a police car with a large American flag waving behind him, hip-hop prince Kendrick Lamar kicked off the BET Awards with a dose of seriousness, but also brought a fiery energy thanks to his charisma and beat of his song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alright.â&#x20AC;? He later won best male hiphop artist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is for Compton, this is for Watts,â&#x20AC;? the Los Angelesborn rapper said. Janelle Monae and Jidenna also brought a serious vibe to the stage when they performed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Classic Man.â&#x20AC;? The singers and their background dancers wore large â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a
Classic Manâ&#x20AC;? signs around their necks, a reference to the historic â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Am a Manâ&#x20AC;? civil rights era protest signs. And as Anthony Hamilton and Gary Clark Jr. performed while photos of celebrities who died appeared on screen, a montage of the nine people who were gunned down at a church in Charleston earlier this month closed the performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blackishâ&#x20AC;? actors Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross won over the crowd with back-to-back jokes, including one about Rachel Dolezal, the former president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is white really the new black,â&#x20AC;? Anderson sang as two photos of Dolezal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one old, the other recent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; appeared on screen. Anderson also dressed as British singer Sam Smith, who won best new artist but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend the awards show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sam Smith isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here tonight because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he would win at the BET Awards,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said as the audience burst into laughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This award is going to stay with me for you not showing up to BET,â&#x20AC;? Anderson sang, referencing Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ubiquitous hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay With Me.â&#x20AC;? Rihanna, who debuted a
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ted 2â&#x20AC;&#x2122; debut outshined by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jurassic World,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Inside Outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer
LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A foulmouthed teddy bear is no match for a pack of dinosaurs. Seth MacFarlaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ted 2â&#x20AC;? opened far under expectations with $32.9 million, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday, ceding the top two spots to holdovers â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jurassic Worldâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Out.â&#x20AC;? While $32.9 million is a solid opening for an R-rated comedy, bigger things were expected from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ted 2,â&#x20AC;? which cost a reported $68 million to produce. The Universal Pictures sequel was expected to earn somewhere in the $50 million range going into its debut weekend, thanks to the record-setting precedent of the first film, which earned $54.4 million in 2012. In addition to mediocre reviews, perhaps the initial intrigue around a raunchy stuffed animal has worn off a bit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to maintain that hyper level of excitement
once people have seen the talking teddy bear,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Dergarabedian, Rentrakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior media analyst. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In comedy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about inventiveness, newness and the shock value of something original.â&#x20AC;? Universalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domestic distribution head, Nick Carpou, said that the positive response from exit polls indicates a promising life for the movie in the weeks ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could have had a higher gross, but we get the gross we get. It was a very competitive marketplace this weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Carpou, who noted that the first filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gross was a massive surprise to the studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jurassic World,â&#x20AC;? also a Universal film, narrowly held the top spot for the third weekend in a row with a mighty $54.2 million, pushing it past the $500 million mark domestically â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only the fifth film to do so in history. Carpou said the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record-setting performance has exceeded his high expectations every step of the way.
NEW LUNCH BUFFET
Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited that it seems that audiences are returning for repeat viewings. Disney and Pixarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Out,â&#x20AC;? meanwhile, finished at a close No. 2, earning $52.1 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only a 42 percent drop from its first weekend in theaters. Dergarabedian marveled at the consistency of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jurassic Worldâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are no flash-in-thepan movies. Both are delivering exactly what audiences want,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Max,â&#x20AC;? the other new opener, brought in a modest
but expected $12.2 million to finish fourth. Warner Bros. is distributing the PG-rated MGM movie about a PTSDafflicted military dog who goes to live with his late handlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. The film, which cost under $20 million to produce, is performing especially well in the South and the Midwest, according to Warner Bros.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; domestic distribution EVP Jeff Goldstein. Overall, the box office is still booming, up 7 percent from last year. With â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magic Mike XXLâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminator
Genisysâ&#x20AC;? set to open Wednesday in advance of the holiday weekend, things are only going to heat up. Estimated ticket sales below are for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. 1.â&#x20AC;?Jurassic World,â&#x20AC;? $54.2 million ($82.5 million international) 2.â&#x20AC;?Inside Out,â&#x20AC;? $52.1 million ($26.4 million
