Halliburton to close plant Move to Ohio will affect 430 employees By SEAN YODER
syoder@indianagazette.net
Halliburton announced Tuesday it would close its Homer City plant, which employs 430 people, by the end of the year. Just months ago state legislators said they were told the Homer City plant would not close, but that there could be layoffs. “I’m very upset with the people from Halliburton,� state Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, said Tuesday. He said he couldn’t recall a closure as devastating in recent history. Rep. Dave Reed, R-Indiana, said Tuesday he talked to Halliburton representatives in Washington, D.C., about two months ago and was told then the Homer City plant along Lucerne Road was not in danger of closing. “Today is a dark day for Indiana County,� White and Reed said in a joint statement released Tuesday. “Now we’re told the decision to close is permanent and nothing can be Continued on Page 12

The answer to who won the second Republican nomination for county auditor in the spring primary has been pushed back further into the summer. A court hearing was to be held Tuesday to consider arguments on whether some ballots from the May 19 election should be recounted to determine if Helen Clark or Donna Cupp — both incumbent auditors — won the second available GOP nomination. That hearing was canceled and the next court date for oral arguments in the undecided election race is now scheduled for July 16. And a recount of some votes — if it happens — has been moved from July 7 to Aug. 4. When the unofficial vote tally ended on election night, Clark appeared to be the winner of a nomination by three votes. But Continued on Page 12

Police: 141 bodies recovered from plane crash site By NINIEK KARMINI Associated Press
MEDAN, Indonesia — The death toll from the crash of an air force transport plane in the Indonesian city of Medan jumped to more than 140 on today, indicating a growing list of victims from the neighborhood where the plane went down. North Sumatra police
Militants attack Egyptian checkpoints By ASHRAF SWEILAM Associated Press
EL-ARISH, Egypt — Islamic militants today unleashed a wave of simultaneous attacks, including a suicide car bombing, on Egyptian army checkpoints in the restive north of the Sinai Peninsula, killing at least 38 soldiers, security and military officials said. The attacks took place just south of the town of Sheikh Zuweid and targeted at least six military checkpoints, the officials said. The militants also took soldiers captive and seized several armored vehicles, they added, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. The attacks came just two days after the assassination in Cairo of the country’s top prosecutor, Hisham Barakat and just one day after President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi vowed to step up a two-year crackdown on militants. Militants in northern Sinai, which borders Israel and the Gaza Strip, have battled security forces for years but stepped up their attacks following the July 2013 military ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi after days of mass street protests against his rule. El-Sissi, then the nation’s army chief, led the ouster and went on to become Egypt’s president, winning a landslide election a year ago. Today’s attacks came in swift response to el-Sissi’s pledge the previous day to carry out justice for the prosecutor general’s assassination and possibly move to execute Muslim Brotherhood leaders, an Islamist group from which Morsi hails. Pounding his fist as he spoke Tuesday at the funeral of Barakat, who led the prosecution and oversaw scores of cases against thousands of Islamists, el-Sissi’s comments seemed to signal an even tougher campaign on the Brotherhood, Egypt’s oldest Islamist group that is now outlawed and declared a terrorist organization. Egypt has since Morsi’s ouster waged a crackdown that has led to thousands of arrests, mass convictions and death sentences. Morsi is among those condemned to die, but has a potentially lengthy appeal process ahead of him. El-Sissi said the government was ready to brush aside criticisms and free the judiciary’s hand for a “battle” the country is prepared to wage. “The judiciary is restricted by laws, and swift justice is also restricted by laws. We will not wait for that,” el-Sissi said.
Major A. Tarigan told TVOne that 141 bodies have been recovered from the rubble of a residential area where the C130 Hercules crashed shortly after takeoff on Tuesday. The air force says there were 122 people on the plane including military personnel and their families. The crash of the aircraft, which had been in service since 1964, occurred only
two minutes after it took off from Soewondo air force base in Medan on Sumatra, one of Indonesia’s main islands. It plowed into a building that local media said contained shops and homes. Witnesses said it was shooting flames and smoke before crashing. Air force chief Air Marshal Agus Supriatna has said the pilot told the control tower that he
needed to turn back because of engine trouble and the plane crashed while turning right to return to the airport. The air force repeatedly raised its figures for the number of the people on the plane, indicating lax controls and raising questions about whether it was accepting paying passengers despite previous promises to crack down on the promise.

The plane had traveled from the capital, Jakarta, and stopped at two locations before arriving at Medan. Indonesia has a patchy civil aviation safety record and its cash-strapped air force has also suffered a series of accidents. Between 2007 and 2009, the European Union barred Indonesian airlines from flying to Europe because of safety concerns.

Teen scraps tornado drill BUTLER (AP) — A 17-yearold has scrapped plans to conduct a Facebook tornado warning drill after 911 officials in his western Pennsylvania county raised concerns. A.J. Ayers, of Butler, posts news accounts and public safety messages on his page, Butler County PA 911 Notifications. He planned to determine how effective the page spread such news by posting a fake tornado alert on Wednesday. It was meant to
be a drill and Monday’s post explained all that. But county emergency services director Steve Bicehouse was concerned residents might be confused by the drill — especially since a small tornado hit the county on Saturday. Ayers removed the post Monday and canceled the drill after residents complained to Bicehouse and the National Weather Service. “I didn’t want to cause any more of an uproar,” Ayers said.
Elderly man killed in crash APOLLO (AP) — A 90-yearold man died after making a turn and driving his car into the path of an oncoming truck in Washington Township, Westmoreland County. Police said Thomas Greulich of Harmar Town-
ship was killed Tuesday after making a left turn from Utopia Road onto Route 380. WPXI-TV reported that the truck that struck Greulich’s car burst into flames. The 60-year-old driver escaped.
Robert Johnson Robert G. Johnson, 78, of Kittanning, passed away Monday, June 29, 2015, at Forbes Regional Hospital, Monroeville.

Wolf vetoes GOP budget Continued from Page 1 budget bill passed the Senate on Tuesday and the House on Saturday. But it passed without any Democratic lawmaker’s support, making it extremely unlikely that Republicans could muster the two-thirds majority in both houses to override the veto. During four hours of debate Tuesday, Republicans defended their budget bill as a responsible alternative to the multibillion-dollar tax increase sought by Wolf to wipe out the deficit and reverse deep cuts in education made under his Republican predecessor. The GOP’s budget bill would authorize an additional $1.1 billion in spending, primarily for rising costs for public pensions and health care, as well as $200 million more for education. Gimmicks, they contended, are preferable to raising taxes. Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre, said he was disappointed by Wolf’s veto but also said it is now up to Wolf to produce a plan that can pass the Legislature, since his first one could not. “The governor owns this now,” Corman said. “The General Assembly put up the votes to pass a balanced budget. He owns the fact that we don’t have a budget now, and we will wait for him to offer a new plan.” The absence of a budget as the new fiscal year began was not expected to have an immediate effect on services because agencies can tap surpluses and special funds, but the situation could deteriorate if the impasse drags on. The state will lose the authority to pay its vendors for work done from today on. Corman said he and Wolf were unable to meet today, and he was unsure when they would talk next. Republicans pushed the spending plan through amid a flurry of votes on an ambitious agenda Tuesday. That agenda included a bill to license private companies to take over the statecontrolled wine and liquor
system and a bill to squeeze savings from the large pension systems by ending the traditional pension benefit for future school employees and state workers. “People want more convenience and accessibility and this legislation provides that,” Rep. Dave Reed, R-Indiana, said in a release. “It is time to join 48 other states in agreeing that selling alcohol is not a core responsibility of government.” “This legislation will generate more than $200 million each year on top of the current revenues, which can go toward educating children across the commonwealth,” the House majority leader said. “It is time to put that money where it belongs, instead of propping up an antiquated and outdated liquor system.” Wolf would not say how he will act on the GOP’s pension and liquor legislation, which passed both chambers Tuesday. However, he has said he opposes both plans, and Democrats, who voted in blocs against both bills, expect Wolf to veto each one. The wine and liquor privatization plan would allow about 14,000 beer-sales license holders — retailers, restaurants, grocery stores and others — to pay a higher fee for permission to also sell wine, liquor or both. It would also provide a pathway to the closure of the approximately 600 state-controlled wine and liquor stores and, Republicans said, add convenience and modernization to an archaic system. Democrats countered that the plan would irresponsibly liquidate a valuable state money maker for virtually nothing. During debate on the pension bill, Republican backers said the current system is not sustainable for taxpayers. Democrats slammed the proposal as taking away retirement security for future state government and public school employees and risking a court challenge.
Nurse at hospital drops day-old baby UNIONTOWN (AP) — Authorities in Pennsylvania say a nurse dropped a newborn boy at a hospital, fracturing his skull. The baby’s mother said a doctor told her the nurse was “drowsy.” The hospital and Uniontown police say the 30-year veteran nurse at Uniontown Hospital was holding the baby at about 6 a.m. Tuesday when he fell from her grasp. Mother Jacqueline Hunt told WPXI-TV that a pedia-
trician told her the nurse was feeding and burping her 1-day-old son “and she was drowsy and fell asleep and dropped him.” Hall says he has a skull fracture but is expected to recover. The hospital says, “We are sorry that such a wonderful event has been overshadowed by an unfortunate situation.” Police are investigating but say they don’t believe criminal conduct was involved.
Parking citation tossed MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (AP) — An appeals court has agreed with an Ohio woman who said her parking citation should be tossed because the village law was missing a comma. Andrea Cammelleri said she shouldn’t have been issued a citation in 2014 based on the wording of the
law enacted by the village of West Jefferson. The law lists several types of vehicles that can’t be parked longer than 24 hours, including a “motor vehicle camper,” with the comma missing between “vehicle” and “camper.” Cammelleri says her pickup truck did not fit that definition.

House loosens background checks HARRISBURG (AP) — A bill to exempt more people who work with children from background checks has passed the Legislature and has been sent to Gov. Tom Wolf. The House voted 190-5 Tuesday to limit the checks for volunteers and employees at schools, child care facilities and similar places to those who have direct and routine interaction with children. The checks for new volunteers aren’t required until Aug. 25. That gives them time to qualify for free checks from the state police and Department of Human Services under a policy that takes effect on July 25. Another recent change to the bill requires clearances every five years rather than every three years. Higher education employees need the checks if they interact with students who don’t have high school diplomas.
Mall enacts new security plan MONROEVILLE (AP) — Executives at the Monroeville Mall announced new plans to improve security in response to several violent crimes, including a February shooting that injured three people. The plans include new cameras that monitor a larger section of the property.
Lance Ivy, regional director for the mall’s ownership company, said the “state-ofthe-art� system will allow people working on- and off-site to monitor the footage. Ivy said the previous camera system did not save the video captured in the mall’s common areas. The moves were spurred by a February shooting that left three people injured at the mall’s Macy’s store. Police said a 17-year-old opened fire at the mall, aiming at someone but wounding three bystanders. The teenager, charged as an adult with attempted homicide and other crimes, is scheduled for trial in August. Additionally, police have reopened an old substation in the mall, and executives have enacted a youth escort policy. The policy requires any teen under 18 to be accompanied by a parent or guardian after 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Man jailed for not paying $749 fare UNIONTOWN (AP) — Police say a man who took a 300-mile cab ride across Pennsylvania to surprise his fiancee has been jailed because he couldn’t pay the $749 fare. Police said New York City resident John Williams Jr., 35, took the taxi from Philadelphia to Uniontown with his children early Saturday. But when they arrived in
Uniontown, authorities say, Williams refused to pay the bill and the cab driver called police. Williams told police he didn’t have cash and “his credit card was maxed out for the day,� according to reports. Williams has been charged with theft of services. He was jailed on $2,500 bail to await a preliminary hearing Tuesday.
Fisherman cited for illegal catch YORK (AP) — A Pennsylvania fisherman apparently has a Facebook photo to thank for landing him in hot water with the state Fish & Boat Commission. The York Dispatch reported that Juan Arevalo reeled in a 21- or 22-inch bass near the banks of the Susquehanna River the first weekend in June. Arevalo said he was aware that it was illegal to catch a bass at that time, so he threw it back. But a friend snapped a photo of him showing off his catch, and it became his Facebook profile picture. Days later, the York man was cited for illegally catching a fish. The Fish & Boat Commission said it does use photographs to initiate investigations. But a spokesman said he couldn’t comment on an active case. Arevalo said he plans to contest the potential $120 fine.

Late Oregon teen among 18 honored for heroism By JOE MANDAK
Carnegie Medal winners listed
PITTSBURGH — A 16-yearold Oregon boy who drowned while trying unsuccessfully to save his younger brother’s life is one of 18 people to be honored with a Carnegie Medal for heroism. S. Alexander Smith, of Aloha, jumped into the Row River upstream from a 15-foot waterfall to try to save his 13-year-old brother, Christian, on July 1, 2014. Both boys were carried over the falls and drowned. Smith was the only one of those honored Tuesday by the Pittsburgh-based Carnegie Hero Fund Commission who died during a rescue attempt. Another man, Bryon Snyder, 36, of Topeka, Kan., helped rescue a woman who was abducted and threatened with a gun June 30, 2014. Snyder helped the woman run inside a convenience store after she escaped, and he was shot and critically injured while trying to prevent the gunman from entering. The suspect was arrested after a police standoff at a nearby residence, and Snyder has since recovered. The other 16 winners are from Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee and Washington.

Details revealed for Pope’s visit to Philly By MICHAEL R. SISAK Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Pope Francis’ nine-day visit to the U.S. and Cuba in September will take him from the halls of power to the cradle of American democracy. Details made public Tuesday show the 78-year-old pontiff will see the largest crowds of his trip during a two-day stay in Philadelphia — the culmination of a tour that includes addresses to Congress and the United Nations. Francis will visit inmates at a Philadelphia jail, speak on religious freedom and immigration in the shadow of Independence Hall, and celebrate Sunday Mass with an anticipated crowd of more than 1 million people. “This will be an incredible couple of days for Philadelphia,� Mayor Michael Nutter said. “Philly shines. Not only to the nation, but to the world.� Francis is making eight public appearances during his two days in Philadelphia, the final and most ambitious leg of a tour that will bring him to Havana, Washington, D.C., and New York. But security and scheduling concerns will keep the first-time visitor from some of the more popular Philadelphia attractions.
The pontiff, known for his modesty and accessibility, won’t be sneaking off for a cheesesteak, for instance, but he may freelance at scheduled events to bless babies and greet members of his flock, Auxiliary Bishop John J. McIntyre said. “We’ll bring a cheesesteak to him,� he said. An hour after arriving from New York on Sept. 26, Pope Francis is scheduled to celebrate Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul for about 1,600 local parishioners and clergy. The World Meeting of Families conference will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. And at an outdoor celebration on the city’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway closing the conference, he will hear testimonials on faith and marriage from families representing five continents and music from Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and Colombian pop star Juanes. The next day, Francis is scheduled to meet with inmates and some of their families at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility — fulfilling a goal of his trip to visit with people incarcerated in the U.S. The prison has about 8,000 inmates. The pope will encourage the inmates to acknowledge their sins and ask Christ for mercy, McIntyre said.
Philadelphia Commissioner of Prisons Louis Giorla said he and the jail staff were “moved, thrilled and gratified.� “We hope he brings something to Curran-Fromhold: a message of hope for the individuals incarcerated here,� he said. “(The pope) appreciates the dignity of all human beings. No one is so lowly that they can’t be saved or change their lives.� It’s still unclear how many prisoners will get an audience with the pope or how they will be chosen, although those exhibiting good behavior will have an edge, Giorla said. Tickets will not be required for the biggest events: the speech at Independence Hall, which could attract more than 50,000 people; the outdoor conference-closing celebration; and the Sunday
Mass, also on the parkway, which Nutter joked will bring in “a million, 2 million or so of the pope’s closest friends.� For two days, the City of Brotherly Love will be the City of Pope Francis, transformed by an influx of outof-towners and the logistical toll of a visit from the leader of the world’s 1.1 billion Catholics. Mass transit will be severely limited. Dozens of train stations will be shuttered to allow express service from key suburban rail and subway hubs. Some roads will be closed and parking on others restricted as events are held and the pope is shuttled around. Still, the mayor anticipated some residents lining the motorcade route for a glimpse of his holiness. “It’s not like you can hide the pope,� he said.

The next culture war
hristianity is in decline in the United States. The share of Americans who describe themselves as Christians and attend church is dropping. Evangelical voters make up a smaller share of the electorate. Members of the millennial generation are detaching themselves from religious institutions in droves. Christianity’s gravest setbacks are in the realm of values. American culture is shifting away from orthodox Christian positions on homosexuality, premarital sex, contraception, out-of-wedlock childbearing, divorce and a range of other social issues. More and more Christians feel estranged from mainstream culture. They fear they will soon be treated as social pariahs, the moral equivalent of segregationists because of their adherence to scriptural teaching on gay marriage. They fear their colleges will be decertified, their religious institutions will lose their tax-exempt status, their religious liberty will come under greater assault. The Supreme Court’s gay marriage decision landed like some sort of culminating body blow onto this beleaguered climate. Rod Dreher, author of the truly outstanding book “How Dante Can Save Your Life,” wrote an essay in Time in which he argued that it was time for Christians to strategically retreat into their own communities, where they can keep “the light of faith burning through the surrounding cultural darkness.” He continued: “We have to accept that we really are living in a culturally postChristian nation. The fundamental norms Christians have long been able to depend on no longer exist.” Most Christian commentary has opted for another strategy: Fight on. Several David Brooks contributors to the symposium in the writes a journal First Things called the Obergefell regular decision last week the Roe v. Wade of column for The marriage. It must be resisted and resisted New York Times. again. Robert P. George, probably the most brilliant social conservative theorist in the country, argued that just as Lincoln persistently rejected the Dred Scott decision, so “we must reject and resist an egregious act of judicial usurpation.” These conservatives are enmeshed in a decades-long culture war that has been fought over issues arising from the sexual revolution. Most of the conservative commentators I’ve read over the past few days are resolved to keep fighting that war. I am to the left of the people I have been describing on almost all of these social issues. But I hope they regard me as a friend and admirer. And from that vantage point, I would just ask them to consider a change in course. Consider putting aside, in the current climate, the culture war oriented around the sexual revolution. Put aside a culture war that has alienated large parts of three generations from any consideration of religion or belief. Put aside an effort that has been a communications disaster, reducing a rich, complex and beautiful faith into a public obsession with sex. Put aside a culture war that, at least over the near term, you are destined to lose. Consider a different culture war, one that would be just as central to your faith and far more powerful in its persuasive witness. We live in a society plagued by formlessness and radical flux, in which bonds, social structures and commitments are strained and frayed. Millions of kids live in stressed and fluid living arrangements. Many communities have suffered a loss of social capital. Many young people grow up in a sexual and social environment rendered barbaric because there are no common norms. Many adults hunger for meaning and goodness, but lack a spiritual vocabulary to think things through. Social conservatives could be the people who help reweave the sinews of society. They already subscribe to a faith built on selfless love. They can serve as examples of commitment. They are equipped with a vocabulary to distinguish right from wrong, what dignifies and what demeans. They already, but in private, tithe to the poor and nurture the lonely. The defining face of social conservatism could be this: Those are the people who go into underprivileged areas and form organizations to help nurture stable families. Those are the people who build community institutions in places where they are sparse. Those are the people who can help us think about how economic joblessness and spiritual poverty reinforce each other. Those are the people who converse with us about the transcendent in everyday life. This culture war is more Albert Schweitzer and Dorothy Day than Jerry Falwell and Franklin Graham; more Salvation Army than Moral Majority. It’s doing purposefully in public what social conservatives already do in private. I don’t expect social conservatives to change their positions on sex, and of course fights about the definition of marriage are meant as efforts to reweave society. But the sexual revolution will not be undone anytime soon. The more practical struggle is to repair a society rendered atomized, unforgiving and inhospitable. Social conservatives are well equipped to repair this fabric, and to serve as messengers of love, dignity, commitment, communion and grace.
DAVID BROOKS
Same-sex marriage just the start
“N
ow this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” What Winston Churchill said in 1942 following a British military victory in North Africa might also be said about Friday’s narrow 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court legalizing marriage between people of the same sex. That the majority threw a bone to religious people, their churches and institutions, saying they could continue to preach and teach that homosexual marriage is wrong, will almost certainly be challenged by gay activists and secularists whose goal is to drive religious people, and especially Christians, out of the public square. What might be a preview of things to come occurred last week when the Fairfax County (Va.) School Board voted 10-2 to approve a “gender identity” curriculum for children starting in seventh grade. News reports said the crowd that showed up for the vote overwhelmingly opposed the decision, but majorities no longer matter. Minorities rule, except on the Supreme Court. Given their political clout and antipathy to Christian doctrines, some gay activists are likely to go after the taxexempt status of Christian

quickly tacked left, “the biggest damned fool mistake I ever made.” There have been several other justices nominated by Republican presidents who have turned out to be liberal wolves in conservative clothing. Their names comprise a judicial hall of shame: Blackmun, Burger, Stevens, O’Connor, Kennedy, Souter and now, at least based on his Obamacare position, Roberts. This never seems to work in reverse, with liberals becoming conservative once on the bench. I asked Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush about this mixed GOP track record during his recent visit to Washington, where he spoke to a conservative gathering. Bush said that if elected president he would conduct extensive interviews with potential nominees to the court to make sure they have a conservative constitutional view of the law. He allowed that even then there were no “guarantees” a justice would remain conservative. If the zeitgeist and politics are more persuasive to some justices than the Constitution and the intent of the Founders, then justices should be held accountable by the political system and their terms limited.

Photographing baby’s every moment By MEGAN RITCHIE JOOSTE For The Philadelphia Inquirer
T
here is a favorite photo of my great-grandfather that I keep in a high dresser drawer. I forget how it came to be in my possession, but it was probably tucked inside one of the boxes of costume jewelry and figurines we were given to play with at my grandmother’s house, and one day I must have managed to abscond with it. For as long as I can remember, it has been in my own drawer, alongside a key ring my father brought back from one of his first business trips to Paris, another treasure. In the photograph, my great-grandfather, one of 18 children, is playing marbles on an unpaved street. Crouched down, he is looking up at the lens, squinting.
IN HIS FACE, I see features he imparted on my grandmother and my father. It’s jarring looking at the photo, at this young boy who looks so starkly different than how he looked by the time I was born. But that’s the whole point of photographs. They shove bookmarks in time. At about the time my daughter was almost fully baked, I posted a publicservice announcement on my Facebook page. It read: “Ever taken a picture of an awesome dinner you’ve cooked? Your first foray into Thai cuisine, for example, or a killer Pistachio-encrusted Tilapia filet? You need to share your genius, your talents with the world, don’t you? It’s an irresistible compulsion. “Well, I have cooked this baby for the last 37 weeks. Be prepared for the most obnoxious onslaught of baby photography you have ever witnessed. Adjust your newsfeed options accordingly.” When my daughter came into this world, the sleek white silhouette of my iPhone, held by the anesthetist’s assis-
tant, was right there in the front row alongside the doctor. Her very first gulp of air was captured on video, her very first wail. I remember craving to get my hands on her. Right after that, in the quiet of our hospital room, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on my phone to start documenting, and sharing. For the last two years, I have broadcast pictures of my daughter on an assortment of social-media platforms, using a quirky idiom to accompany many of the photos I share: “Baby. On the beach. Baby on the beach,” reads the very first, alongside a selfie I took of us at the Jersey Shore her first summer. There’s been a “Baby. On a train, Baby on a train”; a “Baby. On a plane. Baby on a plane”; a “Baby. On the Rocky Steps. Baby on the Rocky Steps”; and most recently, a “Baby. With Philly Jesus. Baby With Philly Jesus,” a shot taken with the man who walks the city dressed as Christ. You better believe I’m going to make a photo with the pope happen. It’s practically mandatory at this point. I have shared more photos of my daughter in her first 730 days of life than I can count. And for every one photo posted online, you can bet that there are 17 to 4,304 more in a dizzying exponent of zeros and ones tucked into various hard drives squirreled around my home, and floating in the cloud. There are aspects, of course, to parenting you could not possibly capture on film, like the sweet hindrance of a leghug, consistently mid-chore. But I take photos because I want to remember everything, to retaliate against the unmitigated sting of time passing. But, there’s an ironic twist.
A STUDY by Linda A. Henkel at Fairfield University on the influence of taking photos on memory actually seemed to show that, in contrast to what you might think, taking a photo-
graph meant that people remembered less, not more, of what they saw that day. You can understand that reading this drove an ice-cold spike into my heart. If I am to believe Henkel’s findings, my inexhaustible efforts to document every milestone, every trip, every walk to the park, will have been futile. I will remember much less than I would have without shoving a cellphone in my daughter’s face day in and day out.
BUT I STAND by my choice to snap a trillion photos of my kid and dispatch a good portion of them across the World Wide Web. My photography gives me the power to call up nostalgia on a whim. The ability to time-travel, to another morning, another bath time, another foray into indoor water play gone awry. And I have found in the heady concoction of accolades and admiration that accompany a Facebook share a nod to a universal truth: We’re all doing what we can to hold on for dear life. For me, doing what I can involves a hefty data plan. A regular activity in my household involves browsing through the vast stockpile of photos I access through a Dropbox app on my phone. My daughter has known how to swipe the screen to advance to the next photo since she was about 1. “More, more baby!” she’ll demand, and this means we sit on the floor of whatever room we happen to be in, and scroll through photos until she gets bored. When I mine photos from too far back, she squints at the screen, quiet. She doesn’t recognize herself as a baby. I don’t blame her. Looking at the little girl next to me, I hardly do, either.

Remains of ship returned to Navy MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The remains of a Revolutionary War battleship that burned and sank as the Americans and British struggled for control of Lake Champlain will be in the hands of the U.S. Navy in time for the Fourth of July. Timbers from the schooner Royal Savage, raised from the lake in 1934, has been in possession of the city of Harrisburg, and will be turned over to the Navy during a ceremony there today. Michael Crawford of the U.S. Navy History and Heritage Command says the timbers are the remains of an important sea battle. Gen. Benedict Arnold, then still loyal to the American cause, led the rebels. The Battle of Valcour Island in 1776 held off British long enough to give the Americans more time to build their defenses.

Greece makes concessions Deal unlikely before vote set for Sunday By ELENA BECATOROS Associated Press
ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s government has made new concessions in talks with its creditors, though some European officials said they were still not good enough and that a deal was nevertheless impossible before a Greek referendum on Sunday. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras sent a letter Tuesday night, just hours before the country’s bailout program was due to expire, saying his government was prepared to accept creditors’ proposals made last weekend, subject to certain amendments. The creditors did not accept Greece’s new overture, leaving the country’s bailout program to expire. But eurozone finance ministers were to meet again today to discuss the terms. Hopes that Tsipras was
ALEXIS TSIPRAS ... Greece’s prime minister. softening his position — after refusing for five months the spending cuts that creditors had demanded in exchange for loans — boosted markets this morning. But German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble was clear that no deal was imminent, at least not before Greece holds a popular vote on the creditors’ proposals on Sunday. “Before a referendum, there is indeed no basis (for an agreement),” Schaeuble said. In Athens, crowds of anxious eld-
erly Greeks thronged banks for hours from before dawn today, struggling to be allowed to withdraw their maximum of 120 euros ($134) for the week after the government reopened some banks to help pensioners who don’t have bank cards. Greece is in financial limbo now that its bailout program has expired, cutting it off from vital financing and pushing it one step closer to leaving the euro. The country has put limits on cash withdrawals in order to keep banks from collapsing. Its situation was further worsened Tuesday when it failed to repay a debt to the International Monetary Fund, the first developed country to do so. The last country to miss an IMF payment was Zimbabwe in 2001. As long as it is in arrears on the payment to the IMF, one of the country’s main creditors, Greece cannot get any more money from the organization. Greece’s crisis took a turn for the worse after Tsipras announced last weekend that he would put a deal proposal by Greece’s international creditors to a referendum on Sunday, July 5, and urged a “No” vote.
U.S., Cuba to open embassies
ON THE MOVE
LONDON (AP) — The former deputy editor of the News of the World has been acquitted of conspiring to hack phones when he worked at the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid. Neil Wallis broke down in tears as a London jury announced the verdict today. His former editor, Andy Coulson, was sentenced to 18 months in prison last year for conspiring to hack phones. Prosecutors argued it was inconceivable Wallis did not know about the practice. Wallis denied involvement. Wallis is the last employee of the tabloid to face trial over illegal eavesdropping on the phones of celebrities and people in the public eye. Eight have been convicted. Murdoch shut down the News of the World in 2011 after the revelation that it had hacked the phone of a 13-year-old murder victim.

June heat wave killed 1,250 ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s government says the brutal heat wave that hit the port city of Karachi and the country’s southern province of Sind in June killed 1,250 people before subsiding. A government statement on the latest death toll from the heat wave was handed to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during a high-level meeting in Karachi, the Sindh provincial capital. Sharif was in Karachi today to assess the situation. The statement says the prime minister was informed that a total of 65,000 heatstroke patients were treated at hospitals over the past two weeks. The heat wave, which began June 19, coincided with the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, when Muslims observe a dawnto-dusk fast and abstain from drinking water. Pakistan is a majority Muslim country.
Tuesday extended by one second International timekeepers tacked a second to the clock to compensate for a slightly slower Earth rotation. While a leap second is hardly enough time to change daily life, it has been known to affect some computer systems in the past. There have been calls to abandon the practice of periodically adding an extra second, which has kept computers synchronized with the Earth day since 1972. The last time was in 2012. A decision by a United Nations agency that deals with telecommunications isn’t expected until later this year at the earliest. For now, Tuesday’s leap second meant clocks moved from 23:59:59 to the odd reading of 23:59:60 before it hit midnight, universal time. That’s 8 p.m. EDT.
The move increased fears the country could soon fall out of the euro and saw Greeks rushing to pull money out of ATMs, leading the government to shutter its banks and restrict banking transactions. Greeks are now limited to ATM withdrawals of 60 euros ($67) a day and cannot send money abroad or make international payments without special permission. European officials and Greek opposition parties have been adamant that a “No” vote on Sunday will mean Greece will leave the euro and possibly even the EU. The government rejects the argument as scaremongering, and says dismissing creditor demands will mean the country is in a better negotiating position. But government officials have begun hinting that the referendum might not go ahead if agreement with creditors is reached this week. “Look, if a deal is found, there is a chance there could be this possibility, too. Everything is developing,” Health Minister Panagiotis Kouroumplis said when asked during a morning news show on Antenna television whether the referendum could be called off under certain circumstances.

Christie makes pitch to GOP as he enters presidential race By JILL COLVIN Associated Press
SANDOWN, N.H. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is making a pragmatic pitch to voters as he begins his uphill fight for the Republican presidential nomination. “You need to know what you’re buying,” Christie told potential supporters at a town hall meeting Tuesday in New Hampshire hours after a kickoff rally at his old high school. He pledged to be straight with voters about his beliefs — “and if you like it, great,” he said. “And if you don’t, my goodness, there’s 13 other candidates to pick from.” In New Jersey, the governor had lashed out against “bickering leaders” from both parties and said compromise should be considered a virtue in politics, not a sin. “We need this country to work
together again, not against each other,” Christie said with his wife, Mary Pat, and their four children standing behind him. He promised to lead a White House that would “welcome the American people no matter what party, no matter what race or creed or color.” Christie brings a record of Republican electoral success in a Democratic state to the contest, underpinning his claim that he could lead effectively across party lines as president. But he’s up against an accomplished lineup of governors, senators and business people vying for the nomination. Christie’s effort is largely driven by his outsized personality; his résumé, while notable, contains scattered land mines that have given many Republicans pause. Christie headed from New Jersey to Sandown for one of his signature town hall-style events,
opening a nearly weeklong swing through a state that is seen as crucial to his pathway forward. He received warm applause from a standing-room crowd as he arrived with his family. “I want to be the next president of the United States and I intend to win this election,” he told those gathered in an actual town hall. He has already held nearly a dozen town halls in New Hampshire and plans more in coming days. The governor faces a tough sell with many conservatives suspicious of an East Coast Republican who pushes compromise, but he has seemingly found his stride at times in visits to early voting states with the lively town hall meetings he’s known for at home. In his kickoff speech, Christie said the country is “tired of handwringing and indecisiveness and weakness in the Oval Office.”
WASHINGTON — The United States and Cuba have agreed to open embassies in each other’s capitals, the biggest tangible step in the countries’ historic bid to restore ties after more than a half-century of hostilities. President Barack Obama is expected to announce the agreement today at the White House. The U.S. Embassy in Havana is scheduled to open later this month. The U.S. and Cuba have been negotiating the re-establishment of embassies following a surprise December announcement that secret talks had led to an agreement to restart diplomatic relations. For Obama, ending the U.S. freeze with Cuba is central to his foreign policy legacy as he nears the end of his presidency. Obama has long touted the value of direct engagement with global foes and has argued that the U.S. embargo on the communist island just 90 miles south of Florida was ineffective. A senior Obama administration official confirmed the embassy planning. The official insisted on anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter ahead of the president. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is in Vienna for nuclear negotiations with Iran, is also expected to speak about the embassy openings. Kerry has said previously that he would travel to Cuba for an embassy opening. Cuba’s Foreign Ministry said Tuesday evening that it would meet with U.S. Interests Section chief Jeffrey DeLaurentis this morning to receive a message from Obama about reopening embassies. The U.S. cut off diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1961 after Fidel Castro’s revolution. The U.S. spent decades trying to either actively overthrow the Cuban government or isolate the island, including toughening the economic embargo first imposed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Since the late 1970s, the United States and Cuba have operated diplomatic missions called interests sections in each other’s capitals. The missions are technically under the protection of Switzerland, and do not enjoy the same status as embassies. While the opening of embassies marks a major milestone in the thaw between the U.S. and Cuba, significant issues remain as the countries look to normalize relations. Among them: talks on human rights; demands for compensation for confiscated American properties in Havana and damages to Cuba from the embargo; and possible cooperation on law enforcement, including the touchy topic of U.S. fugitives sheltering in Havana.
Study: Fireworks pollute air By MALCOLM RITTER AP Science Writer
NEW YORK — July Fourth fireworks fill the skies across the nation with more than sparkling bursts of color. They spew pollution, too. A study of 315 locations around the country found that the holiday explosions temporarily boosted the levels of airborne microscopic particles that can pose a health risk. At 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. on July 4, levels of those parti-
cles were more than twice normal, on average, researchers found. But they tapered off overnight and fell back to normal by noon on July 5. Smaller studies have also linked fireworks to particle pollution. Dian Seidel of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who reported the results recently in the journal Atmospheric Environment said the study did not look for any resulting effects on health.
But in response to the research, the Environmental Protection Agency noted Tuesday that children, older adults, and people with heart disease, asthma or other lung diseases are considered to be particularly sensitive to particle pollution. The agency recommended that they limit their exposure by watching fireworks from upwind. “We want everyone to enjoy their local fireworks displays,” the agency said in a statement.

Fire guts another church
N.Y. prison chief, 11 others put on leave, official says By MICHAEL VIRTANEN Associated Press
By JEFFREY COLLINS Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — An African-American church in South Carolina that was burned down by the Ku Klux Klan in 1995 caught fire again Tuesday night, though authorities said it was too soon to say what caused the latest blaze, which broke out on a night of frequent storms. No one was believed to be inside at the time. The fire at the Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal church in Greeleyville broke out at a time when federal authorities are investigating conflagrations at several other predominantly black churches — including one Friday at a church near Aiken, S.C. — but so far the fires don’t appear to be related. Greeleyville is a town of about 400 people 50 miles north of Charleston, where a pastor and eight members of a historic black church were fatally shot on June 17 in

SMOKE ROSE from Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal church early this morning in Greeleyville, S.C. what authorities are investigating as a hate crime. Agents from the State Law Enforcement Division were on their way to the church before the fire was out, Division Chief Mark Keel said. But he said they will have to wait until the hot spots are extinguished before using dogs and other investigative tools to figure out what started it. He said investigators were to be on the scene first thing this morning. “We do know they apparently had some strong storms,� Keel said. “Talked to a guy who said they had a lot of lightning down there tonight. I don’t know whether that had anything to do with it at all.� The image of orange flames coming from the same church the KKK burned down 20 years ago brought
up painful memories, said Williamsburg County Councilman Eddie Woods Jr., who got out of bed to drive to the church after hearing about the fire. “That was a tough thing to see,� Woods said. “It is hurting those people again. But we’re going to rebuild. If this was someone, they need to know that hate won’t stop us again,� Woods said. All of the fires currently under investigation broke out days after the fatal shootings at Charleston’s historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Dylann Storm Roof has been charged with nine counts of murder in the shootings, and the FBI is investigating possible links between the 21-year-old white man and a hate manifesto that showed up online along with photos of him.
ALBANY, N.Y. — The superintendent at the prison where two killers broke out has been placed on leave along with his security chief and 10 other staff members amid an internal investigation into how the inmates pulled it off, a state official said Tuesday. The 12-member group is in addition to the guard and the prison tailor shop instructor who have been arrested on charges they helped the escapees. Officials would not say what connection, if any, the 12 had to the June 6 escape from the maximum-security prison or the failure to prevent it. Meanwhile, the surviving convict, David Sweat, claimed from his hospital bed that he used no power tools to cut his way out, contrary to what authorities have said. Sweat was wounded and captured Sunday near the Canadian border after three weeks on the run. His accomplice, Richard Matt, was shot to death last week.

Top officials knew Clinton S was using private email By LISA LERER and MATTHEW DALY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senior Obama administration officials, including the White House chief of staff, knew as early as 2009 that Hillary Rodham Clinton was using a private email address for her government correspondence, according to some 3,000 pages of correspondence released by the State Department late Tuesday night. The chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, requested Clinton’s email address on Sept. 5, 2009, according to one email. His request came three months after top Obama strategist David Axelrod asked the same question of one of Clinton’s top aides. But it’s unclear whether the officials realized Clinton, now the leading Democratic presidential candidate, was running her email from a server located in her home in Chappaqua, N.Y. — a potential security risk and violation of administration policy. The emails ranged from the mundane details of highlevel public service — scheduling secure lines for calls, commenting on memos and dealing with travel logistics — to an email exchange with former President Jimmy Carter and a phone call with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Carter mildly chided Clinton about how to handle the release of two hostages held in North Korea, while Clinton recounted that Rice, her predecessor, “called to tell me I was on strong ground� regarding Israel. One day in November 2009, aide Huma Abedin forwarded Clinton a list of 11, back-to-back calls she was scheduled to make to foreign ministers around the world. “Can’t wait. You know how much I love making calls,� Clinton responded. In one email, Clinton tells Abedin, “I heard on the radio that there is a Cabinet mtg this am. Can I go? If not, who are we sending?� Clinton was later informed it wasn’t a full Cabinet meeting. The emails also reflect the vast scope of Clinton’s network, after several decades in Washington. She asks aides for restaurant recommendations for a meal with California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein (whom she refers to as DiFi), advises her future 2016 campaign chairman John Podesta to wear socks to bed, and passes on advice from former campaign strategist Mark Penn with the note “overlook the source.� Clinton’s emails have become an issue in her early 2016 campaign, as Republicans accuse her of using a private account rather than the standard government address to avoid public scrutiny of her correspondence. As the controversy has continued, Clinton has seen ratings of her character and trustworthiness drop in polling.
The emails, covering March through December 2009, were posted online as part of a court mandate that the agency release batches of Clinton’s private correspondence from her time as secretary of state every 30 days starting June 30. The newly released emails show Clinton sent or received at least 12 messages in 2009 on her private email server that were later classified “confidential� by the U.S. government because officials said they contained activities relating to the intelligence community. At least two-dozen emails were also marked “sensitive but unclassified� at the time they were written, including a December 2009 message from Abedin about an explosion in Baghdad that killed 90. Though Clinton has said her home system included “numerous safeguards,� it’s not clear if it used encryption software to communicate securely with government email services. That would have protected her communications from the prying eyes of foreign spies or hackers. Still, Clinton’s correspondence from her first year as the nation’s top diplomat left little doubt that the Obama administration was aware that Clinton was using a personal address. “The Secretary and Rahm are speaking, and she just asked him to email her — can you send me her address please?� Amanda Anderson, Emanuel’s assistant, wrote. Abedin passed along the request to Clinton. “Rahm’s assistant is asking for your email address. U want me to give him?� Less than a minute later, Clinton replied that Abedin should send along the address.
nemora, was removed along with Stephen Brown, deputy superintendent in charge of security, according to a state official who was briefed on the matter but wasn’t authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The 12 also include guards. The Corrections Department said only that three executives and nine other staff members were placed on paid leave as part of a departmental review of the escape. It did not identify them. The department said it is bringing in new leadership. Cherie Racette, the superintendent’s wife, told the Adirondack Daily Enterprise he was given the option of taking a demotion or retiring and chose retirement. She said he and two deputies are being made scapegoats by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Brown did not immediately return a call for comment. Sweat’s condition was upgraded from serious to fair at the Albany hospital where he was taken after being shot twice by a state trooper. Matt and Sweat cut holes
P
in their cells and a steam pipe and made their way to a manhole outside in a breakout that embarrassed the Corrections Department, exposed a host of possible security lapses and set off a manhunt involving more than 1,000 law enforcement officers. District Attorney Andrew Wylie said Sweat told investigators that he started cutting through steel cellblock walls in January with only a hacksaw blade and used no power tools. Authorities had previously said the two men used power tools borrowed from contractors’ toolboxes at night. Prosecutors have said tailor shop instructor Joyce Mitchell got close to the men, supplied them with hacksaw blades and other tools, and agreed to be their getaway driver but backed out at the last moment. She has pleaded not guilty. Guard Gene Palmer was also arrested, telling investigators he gave the convicts such things as tools, art supplies and access to a catwalk electrical box in exchange for paintings by Matt. But he said he never knew of their escape plans. Sweat, 35, had been serving life without parole in the killing of a sheriff’s deputy.

Trump files $500 million lawsuit against Univision By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer
NEW YORK — As fallout built over Donald Trump’s remarks about immigrants from Mexico, the Republican presidential candidate answered back with legal action to match his trademark brashness, filing a $500 million lawsuit. The suit against Univision for dropping the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants claims breach of contract, defamation and First Amendment violations, and
contends Univision turned on him because it supports Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton for president. In a statement, Univision called Trump’s lawsuit “factually false and legally ridiculous.� It said it will “continue to fight against Mr. Trump’s ongoing efforts to run away from the derogatory comments he made.� Univision, which moved last week to opt out of Trump’s pageants because of the celebrity businessman’s remarks earlier this month, is
DONALD TRUMP now far from alone. On Tuesday, a TV company backed by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim said it was
scrapping a project in development with him, and Mexico announced it won’t be sending a contestant to the Miss Universe contest, which Slim partly owns. Ora TV became the latest company to cut ties with Trump over his presidential campaign kickoff speech in which he declared that some Mexican immigrants bring drugs and crime to the U.S. and are rapists. The company did not give any details about the project it had been developing with Trump.
Slim holds a majority interest in Ora TV, which produces shows including “Larry King Now� and “Off the Grid with Jesse Ventura.� And a day after Televisa, the Mexican TV network that airs Miss Universe, said there would be no telecast for the next contest, Miss Mexico pageant director Lupita Jones said Mexico would boycott Miss Universe. Jones said Trump damaged the pageant and its tradition of convening countries for an event that showcases “friendship, unity and breaking

The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to decide whether public-sector unions may require workers who are not members to help pay for collective bargaining. A ruling against them could deal a severe blow to organized labor. The case, Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, No. 14-915, was brought by California teachers who said that being compelled to pay union fees to subsidize activities they disagreed with violated their First Amendment rights. Limiting the power of public unions has long been a goal of conservative groups, and they welcomed Tuesday’s development. “The question of whether teachers and other government employees can be required to subsidize the speech of a union they do not support as a condition of working for their own government is now squarely before the court,� Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, said in a written statement. Union leaders expressed
alarm at the court’s decision to consider the issue. “The Supreme Court is revisiting decisions that have made it possible for people to stick together for a voice at work and in their communities — decisions that have stood for more than 35 years — and that have allowed people to work together for better public services and vi-
down cultural barriers.� NBC previously announced it would not air the Miss USA or Miss Universe pageants. In a TV interview, Trump said contestants are suffering because of the backlash. “We have 50 of the most lovely women you’ve ever seen right now in Louisiana, and they have been abandoned by NBC and abandoned by Univision,� Trump said on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,� adding, “They have been crushed.�

private high schools convene at one of the 70 State Leadership Seminars across the country to recognize their leadership talents and apply them to becoming effective and ethical leaders. Student participants (known as HOBY Ambassadors) take part in hands-on activities, meet leaders in their state and explore their own personal leadership skills while learning how to lead others and make a positive impact in their community. At the end of their seminars, HOBY Ambassadors are challenged to give back by serving at least 100 volunteer hours in their communities. Students who complete the Leadership for Service (L4S) Challenge within 12 months of their seminar are eligible for the HOBY L4S Challenge Award and the President’s Volunteer Service Award. Alumni who log 4,000 hours of service receive the President’s Call to Service Award from HOBY. To date, HOBY Ambassadors have performed over 3 million hours of volunteer service in their communities. Following a motivational meeting with Dr. Albert Schweitzer during a trip to Africa in 1958, actor Hugh O’Brian was inspired to establish Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership.

HC plant to close Continued from Page 1 done to reverse course.” It is unclear exactly how many of the 430 lived in Indiana County or how many workers will take jobs offered elsewhere within Halliburton. A Halliburton spokeswoman said 90 jobs will be eliminated and 80 percent of workers will be offered new positions. Operations will move to Zanesville, Ohio. The Pittsburgh Business Times reported in February that Halliburton announced it would cut between 6.5 percent to 8 percent of its total workforce. At that time, Halliburton did not say which plants would be affected. White said Halliburton was moving on to the more lucrative “wet gas” in eastern Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania. He said regarding natural gas in the area, “the lack of activity is quite obvious to everybody.” He then took to the Senate floor Tuesday and admonished Gov. Tom Wolf’s proposed shale tax, saying it would push industry away and referred to the Homer
City plant. He asked his colleagues to refute that part of the proposed state budget. Byron Stauffer, executive director of the Indiana County Office of Planning and Development, said Halliburton had been a major player in the region for many years, and was there for the transitions between swells of local natural gas drilling. The Homer City plant, Stauffer said, provided various and numerous services for the entire life cycle of natural gas wells. “Our main concern is the employees of Halliburton,” he said. As those workers end their employment with Halliburton, the rapid response unit through CareerLink will act as a public arm to draw in those facing a future without work and find them new jobs, counsel them and retrain them. Kevin Lazor, administrator of CareerLink in Indiana County, said they will provide a variety of services such as helping to file unemployment paperwork and at-
tempt to match workers’ skills with available jobs. They will also provide some general counseling for those who are going through the emotional stages of job loss and give direction if needed. Lazor said it will take some time to recover and it was obviously devastating to the local community. “We’ll recover,” White said. “We always do. We’re survivors in Indiana County. But it hurts.” White said he was optimistic about the natural resources left in area and that natural gas prices would one day increase. Stauffer said there was potential drilling activity in the area between Indiana and Armstrong counties but was cautious of the market. “I don’t know if we’ve hit bottom yet. How much lower can prices go until we see a turnaround?” Reed said it will take time to see the full impact of Halliburton’s departure. “I think it certainly does give folks a moment of caution,” he said.
Board approves increase Continued from Page 1 The 1.7 millage increase represents a commitment made by the previous board for the elementary school renovation project that would result in a budget increase of at least that much each year for six years, and by at least 1.4 mills for one year to accommodate the bond payments to cover the cost of construction. When the tentative budget was drafted, the projected increase to health care costs was 10 percent, said Finance Director Thomas Kalinyak. But at a recent health care consortium through ARIN IU 28, the increase came in at 4.3 percent, roughly a $145,000 savings that does not have to come out of reserves, he said. Directors voted to keep the per capita taxes under the Public School Code of 1949 and Act 511, the Local Tax Enabling Act, at $5. The earned income and net profits tax, or wage tax, will stay at a rate of 0.85 percent for the year beginning today through June 30, 2016. Directors also approved the real estate transfer tax at the rate of 0.5 percent and the local services tax at $5, and left the discount rate and penalty rate at 2 and 10 percent, respectively. Also Tuesday, the board approved an Act 93 Supervisor of Maintenance Agreement between the district and Clay Skedel effective today through June 30, 2016. Skedel was hired as supervisor of maintenance last year and had a one-year
agreement, solicitor Ronald Saffron said, and Tuesday’s motion was to extend the agreement another year at a salary of $50,000. The board also approved an addendum to the Act 93 Administrative/Coordinator Compensation and Benefit Plan effective July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2018, to include the supervisor of special education. Francine Ressler was hired for the position after the board created it in April. Being that there was no supervisor of special education prior to this year, Ressler was not covered under the agreement, Saffron said, and the modification now includes the position into that agreement. Ressler was hired at a salary of $83,500, which will stay the same for 2015-16. She will move to Step 2 and a salary of $86,234 for 2016-17, and for 2017-18 will move to Step 3 and a salary of $88,468, substitute superintendent Patricia Berezansky said. Under the school code, the district is mandated to meet with administrators if they ask to meet at least once a year to set down the terms and conditions of their employment because they don’t have a regular contract, Saffron said. Directors also approved a subscription order between the district and K12 Systems Inc. to provide software subscription for the use of Sapphire Software, a student information management system, for $26,585. The district
currently uses K12 Systems and Tuesday’s motion was to renew the service. The cost stayed the same from 201415, Berezansky said. The board approved a contract with Music Theatre International for the performance of “Peter Pan,” to be staged Nov. 13-15, for a total cost to the district of $1,820, as well as a video license agreement with the company for $75 that grants the district permission to make one video recording of the production. Also, prior to the meeting, high school Principal Michael Worthington asked the board to consider approving a request from drama club sponsor Michelle Dunn to enter into an agreement with Flying by Foy, of Las Vegas, at a cost of $6,100 to incorporate aerial elements into the play. The company would send a flying director to the school from Nov. 9-15, Worthington said, to train Dunn’s staff, and work on the flying and the installation of the equipment. The Drama Club would be responsible for finding volunteers or using its staff to learn how to use the equipment and help with the flying, he said. The club would use money from its budget and raise money to cover the cost, Worthington said. The board did not add the motion to Tuesday’s agenda, as they will look over the elements of the proposal and may vote on it at the July 7 meeting.
Hearing delayed in ballot recount Continued from Page 1 the official vote count the next week concluded Cupp and Clark tied with 2,592 votes each. Cupp then won a drawing of numbered balls to break the tie, but that did not absolutely resolve the issue because three electors in East Mahoning Township filed a petition on behalf of Clark asking that ballots in their township be recounted. That request hit a legal snag when Cupp filed a motion to quash the recount, arguing the three electors’ petition was not filed in a timely manner. Attorney Robert Dougherty, representing Clark, said Tuesday he will argue that Cupp does not have standing
to try to block a recount and that objections should be filed after a vote recount and not before. “Cupp is not an aggrieved party yet,” Dougherty said. Judge Thomas Bianco gave Dougherty 10 days to file a challenge to Cupp’s standing to file objections and 10 additional days to respond to other objections Cupp raised to a vote recount, including the assertion that the recount petition contains only “a general, unspecific allegation of fraud or error” and does not include any supportive evidence of either. Cupp is being represented by Indiana attorney Marshall Chriswell. The petition filed on Clark’s
behalf seeks a recount of the 102 GOP ballots in East Mahoning Township. On Election Day, a technician instructed poll workers there how to clear a temporary jam in the vote-counting machine. And one ballot in that precinct was not counted until later because an elector placed check marks beside the names of candidates rather than darkening in the ovals next to the candidates’ names. Political newcomer Kimberly McCullough avoided the quagmire of the ClarkCupp tie by finishing first in the three-way race with 2,617 votes and winning the other available GOP nomination.

Stepfather to face trial in beating Continued from Page 1 closed-circuit video at a hearing in the county courthouse. The case lost its legal footing when the young girl testified that Green injured her brother, but said she knew only what her brother told her. Conceding that the testimony was inadmissible hearsay, Dougherty dropped the case. Within hours, state police Trooper Robert Worcester refiled the criminal charges before Green could be released from the county jail. On Tuesday, the kids weren’t called to testify, but Dougherty built a largely circumstantial case with testimony suggesting no one but Green was responsible for the boy’s condition. Carol Degnan, the boy’s maternal grandmother, said she watched the children for half the day and that both were fine when she left them in Brandon Green’s care at their apartment along West Pike, west of Indiana. “They were happy, they were playing, they didn’t have any marks on them,” she said. Stephanie Green, the children’s mother, testified that Brandon texted her at work to say the boy fell down some stairs. She said her son seemed OK when she returned home, but she took him to get checked at Indiana Regional Medical Center a few hours later after he got sick. Stephanie Green testified that her son told her two different stories — at first, saying he was hurt because he fell down the stairs, but later, after being transferred to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, “he told me Brandon kicked him in the stomach.” Worcester testified that the boy gave him only one version of how he was injured. “He said he was at home with Brandon and got in
trouble because he wouldn’t take his medicine for ADD,” the trooper said. “He said Brandon kicked him in the stomach once and in the face twice. He was wearing boots.” Worcester said he interviewed the boy while he was being checked at IRMC. Physicians from the two hospitals ruled out an accidental fall, according to their testimony. The boy had bruises on his head, shoulders, torso, abdomen and his ears, said Donna Balewick, the doctor in charge at the IRMC emergency department on March 4. “The injuries about the abdomen and ear were most concerning,” Balewick said, calling the ear injury a sign of abuse. Balewick said she ordered a CAT scan to check for bleeding inside the boy’s skull and testified that lab tests showed internal abdominal bleeding and an injury to his pancreas that IRMC was not equipped to treat. She ordered a transfer to Children’s Hospital. “Pancreatic injuries can be fatal, frankly,” she said. Brandon Green’s defense attorney, Justin Ketchel, of Pittsburgh, cross-examined Balewick about her opinion that the injuries could not have been caused by falling down stairs. “I believe it’s impossible,” Balewick said. “A pancreatic injury is not consistent with anything but abuse.” Adelaide Eichman, a pediatrician serving in the Child Advocacy Center at Children’s Hospital, said tests showed injuries to the boy’s pancreas and liver. The boy had surgery to evaluate the extent of the injuries and to have tubes put in to drain fluid from his abdomen, Eichman testified. “These were extensive injuries,” Eichman said. “Fluid can get infected if it stays there.”
Eichman said, too, that the injuries weren’t accidental. “My diagnosis was physical child abuse,” she testified. “A fall down the stairs could not have caused this extent of injuries. They don’t happen during play or routine care. It took a lot of force, blunt abdominal trauma, to cause this.” Ketchel called no defense witnesses, and asked Thachik to dismiss the most serious charge, attempted homicide. “There is no evidence he was attempting to commit homicide, or even that that intent was going through his head,” Ketchel said. He disputed the remainder of the charges, citing hearsay testimony and a lack of direct evidence pointing to Brandon Green. “I agree the child was injured, but no victim testified … no one said they saw anything take place,” Ketchel said. “You can’t hold these charges.” Dougherty argued the testimony was enough to show a crime had occurred and that Brandon Green was connected to it. Thachik agreed and held Green for adjudication on attempted homicide, aggravated assault causing injury, aggravated assault of a child, recklessly endangering another person, endangering the welfare of a child and simple assault. Brandon Green was returned to the county jail with bond set at $100,000. Stephanie Green, 27, who also faces charges in the case, remains free on unsecured bond of $150,000. She waived her right to a hearing on June 10 on charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, child welfare endangerment and simple assault. State police charged that she told investigators that she saw her son fall down the stairs.
IAEA chief travels to Iran; talks continue VIENNA (AP) — The head of the U.N. agency tasked to monitor a nuclear deal is traveling to Tehran to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, the agency said today, as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met again in Vienna with Iran’s foreign minister. In his talks in Tehran on Thursday, International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano hopes to “accelerate the resolution of all outstanding issues related to Iran’s nuclear program, including clarification of possi-
ble military dimensions,” the Vienna-based agency said in a statement. Iran’s Mehr news agency said Amano will “receive Iran’s alternative proposal to nuclear scientists’ questioning.” An IAEA probe of the allegations has been essentially stalemated for nearly a decade, with Iran dismissing them as phony evidence planted by the U.S. and Israel. Washington insists that the agency be given greater powers in its investigations as
part of any overall nuclear deal. That includes questioning people possibly involved in the alleged weapons work, something Tehran rejects. The trip comes as world powers use the seven-day window created by Tuesday’s decision to extend negotiations on the nuclear deal amid differences on how much access Iran must give Amano’s agency and other disputes. Kerry’s meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was the first since the extension.

Deer Dilemma Whitetails run wild, interrupt horse races at Erie track By The Associated Press ERIE — Deer, not deuces, are wild at Presque Isle Downs and Casino, and the racetrack is making changes to get its horses back in the starting gate. Officials plan to resume racing today after canceling some races Sunday and all races Monday and Tuesday because deer were jumping onto the track and creating a dangerous situation. To help resolve the problem, the track planned to remove nearby bushes and trees in an attempt to keep the animals at bay. Also, officials planned to raise the fence around the track, and to start the program a few hours earlier, at 3:05 p.m. The time change is to avoid racing at dusk when deer become more active. A deer ran in front of horses during Sunday’s fourth race. Four later races were canceled that day. The track holds races Sunday through Thursday. “We’re taking this very seriously,” said Jeff Favre, casino vice president and general manager. “The last thing we want is a jockey or horse to get hurt
due to deer.” Sunday wasn’t the first time deer had interrupted a race, and jockeys said they were becoming concerned. Five deer interrupted a race June 22, prompting officials to cancel the final five races that day. “This is a very troubling situation,” said Heriberto Rivera, East Coast manager for the Jockey’s Guild. The union represents more than 1,300 retired and current U.S. jockeys. “You can’t have animals weighing hundreds of pounds crossing in front of you when you’re going 35 to 40 miles an hour,” Rivera said. Presque Isle Downs officials announced the changes after consulting with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission and the Pennsylvania Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association.
MONTREAL — Carli Lloyd remembers putting the ball on its spot and shutting out the noise of more than 51,000 anxious fans. Then she blasted that ball into the back of the net. Lloyd’s penalty kick got the United States on the board, and the Americans went on to a 2-0 victory over topranked Germany in the semifinals of the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday night. “That’s exactly what I did, shut out everything around me and focused on what I needed to do,” she said. Lloyd’s penalty kick in the 69th minute went into the right side of the goal less than 10 minutes after Celia

Sasic shot wide on a penalty kick for Germany. Kelley O’Hara came in off the bench and scored in the 85th minute, delighting the pro-American crowd. Hope Solo posted her fifth straight shutout, continuing a dominant run for the American defense. The secondranked United States has gone 513 minutes without conceding a goal.
Next up for the U.S. is the winner of tonight’s match in Edmonton between defending champion Japan, ranked No. 4, and sixth-ranked England. Germany will play the loser of the second semifinal in the third-place game in Edmonton on Saturday. The final is set for Sunday at Vancouver’s BC Place. “We didn’t come here just to make the final,” Lloyd said. “We came here to win it, so we’re going to go after it.” It was the fourth World Cup meeting between Germany and the U.S. In each of the first three games, the winner went on to take the title. The marquee matchup led to lines of fans waiting to get in about three hours before the game. The line for the main souvenir stand snaked up a half-dozen Continued on Page 17
’15 team seeking its day in the sun MONTREAL — U.S. defender Ali Krieger admitted that she had thought and thought about the last time the United States won the Women’s World Cup. She thought about it during the day Tuesday, before the United States beat Germany, 2-0, in the World Cup semifinal. And she thought about it weeks before, when this tournament began. For the last four years, since the United States lost to Japan in the final of the last World Cup, she has thought about it. And not just in passing, either. “Honestly, it’s gone through my mind so many times, almost every day,” Krieger said after Tuesday’s game. “Sixteen years is a long, long time since we last
won the World Cup. Sixteen years! But this time, we deserve to win it. This is why we train, this is why we make those runs and push ourselves. This is it, it’s our time now.” No elite athletes want to play in the shadow of a team’s past, but — unfortunately — this American team has. There was no escaping it. The last American women’s team to win the World Cup was the 1999 team, which defined a remarkable era of women’s sports in the United States and embodied the success of Title IX. For an entire generation, it defined what women’s sports should be and could be. At that World Cup final, the Rose Bowl was packed with
90,000-plus fans. About 40 million Americans tuned in. Brandi Chastain scored the winning goal on a penalty kick and ripped off her jersey and flexed — an image of girl power that resonated around the world. Midfielder Megan Rapinoe said that, at times, she wished that today’s American team wasn’t constantly measured against that 1999 team. It’s partly why this squad wants to win this championship so much, she said. “If we win this, then everybody can stop comparing us,” she said. “We’re not them. But we’re here because of them.” This past month during the Continued on Page 17

Daytona unfurling Stars and Stripes Track giving away American flags in exchange program By The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Daytona International Speedway will not ban the Confederate flag from track property this weekend, but it will offer the American flag to those who wish to fly it on its property. Daytona President Joie Chitwood said Tuesday the speedway will offer an exchange program in which fans can trade a flag for the American flag. Daytona hosts NASCAR races on Saturday and Sunday nights this weekend. “We are celebrating the American
flag this weekend; it is our nation’s birthday,” Chitwood said. “We’re going to have a flag exchange opportunity, so fans who would like to fly the American flag, we’ll trade with you whatever flag you have. We want you to celebrate that flag this weekend. That’s what is important. “Going forward, we’re really going to have to take a look at where that other (Confederate) flag goes because it doesn’t have a place in our sport.” Chitwood said there’s not enough time to plan and enforce a ban on the
Confederate flag, which NASCAR chairman Brian France does not want flying at NASCAR events. “At this point, we cannot ban anything and we cannot change our policy,” Chitwood said. “Needless to say, there’s a lot of discussion and how we get there and what we can do in the future to celebrate all that is right with this country.” Continued on Page 15

The Indiana Gazette QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers
SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Excited to see NBC take over? ROB’S RAMBLING: Of course. Jeff Burton, Kyle Petty, Dale Jarrett as announcers ... it’s like an all-star lineup of former drivers Ken’s age. KEN’S CALL: Not sure, but excited to be rid of boogityboogity for six months.

THINGS WE LEARNED AT SONOMA
JARED C. TILTON/GETTY IMAGES
NASCAR chair Brian France has called for the ‘insensitive symbol’ of the Confederate flag to be eliminated at races.
What should we expect from Jeff Gordon’s final Daytona race? ROB’S RAMBLING: Days of hype, race day of hype, first 20 laps of hype and hopefully Victory Lane hype. KEN’S CALL: He’s so happy to put plate-racin’ behind him, the only guarantee is that he’ll be first to the airport after the checkers. Any chance that the “fix” is in for Jeff? ROB’S RAMBLING: I’ve been labeled a conspiracy theorist so many times I think it’s a conspiracy, and even I don’t buy a scripted finish. KEN’S CALL: Aside from “forgetting” to give him a restrictor plate, there are too many moving parts for a scripted finish.
ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar
Is Brian France alienating the base again? Some of the base, yes. But it’s better to call the Confederate flag an “offensive symbol,” as France did, and lose some more of the old-school, Deep South base, than be perceived by Corporate America as out of touch with the cur rent social and political climate. The “base” had already been bloodied by the losses of North Wilkesboro and Rockingham (not to mention the arrival of Toyota).
Purely political move? RAINIER EHRHARDT/GETTY IMAGES
1. Kyle legs out a win
2. Brother Kurt on the real roll
3. Jury still out on Dillon
Not sure if the two are related, but Sunday’s victory may signal Kyle Busch’s leg and foot are getting better. You pretty much knew it was just a matter of time until he got a victory. He’s not Chase eligible yet (37th in points), but fear not, he’ll get there.
The last two weeks, Kurt Busch has pulled a mini-Kevin Harvick: two races, two top-2s. Kurt came up just short to Kyle at Sonoma after picking up his second win of the season the week before at Michigan. He also has three straight top-5s.
We’ll have to wait to see if put ting Slugger Labbe atop Austin Dillon’s pit box was a good move. Dillon’s Sonoma finish (17th) was just slightly above his average finish for the season (23rd), but was his second-best finish in the last eight races.
Ethanol? Yep, ethanol. NASCAR has spent a ton of resources in playing the modern “green game,” largely through its promotion of ethanol, which, best I can tell, is mostly responsible for padding the bottom lines of corn farmers, small-engine repairmen and the Iowa political class.

FEUD OF THE WEEK
THINGS TO WATCH
1. Gordon’s Daytona finale He could exit Daytona on Lap 3 and his name still will be men tioned more than the winner. All eyes will be on Jeff Gordon’s Daytona swan song, and not just his fans’. Even the non-Gor dons may be rooting for the No. 24 to reach Victory Lane.
Truex
Ragan
MARTIN TRUEX VS. DAVID RAGAN: After a bunch of sheet-metal slugging, Ragan sent Truex into the tire wall at Sonoma. Truex suggested Ragan “probably has one coming.”
2. The next best thing Well that would be Junior, of course. A battle to the wire between Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr.? Can you picture it? Here’s how the two stack up going into the race: Gordon has six wins, 13 top-5s and 20 top-10s; Junior has three wins, 11 top-5s and 17 top-10s.
KEN WILLIS’ TAKE: No paybacks at Daytona without igniting the Big One. Be patient, hoss.
3. Tony’s time? SARAH CRABILL/GETTY IMAGES
This is Tony Stewart’s place. He leads all active Cup driv ers with four wins in the summer Daytona race and has the fourth-best driver rating here. But it’s getting really hard to pick him, even after his 12th-place finish Sunday.

Guerra earns first victory Continued from Page 13 gave up a pair of runs in 6 1-3 innings. Verlander struggled badly through the first four innings, allowing six hits, four walks and a hit batter, but the Tigers only trailed 3-0 as Pittsburgh left eight runners on base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just knew we needed to keep getting baserunners and get more of them in,â&#x20AC;? Hurdle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to be more productive in those at-bats.â&#x20AC;? Verlander now has a 5.09 ERA in his first three starts of the season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he missed the first two-plus months with a triceps injury â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and has allowed 27 baserunners in 17 2-3 innings. Ausmus, though, thought he saw a silver lining in Verlanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stronger finish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he was much better in the last three innings,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was too fine early, then started attacking hitters.â&#x20AC;? Gregory Polancoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice fly made it 1-0 Pirates in the second, and they added two more runs in the third on an error by Miguel Cabrera and a sacrifice fly by Jordy Mercer. Detroit nearly tied the game in the bottom of the fifth, but after a fourminute replay review, James McCannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fly ball off the top of the rightfield fence was ruled an RBI double instead of a three-run homer. Kinslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBI double made it 3-2 in the seventh, and brought Jared Hughes out of the bullpen. Hughes retired Cabrera on a broken-bat grounder. Andrew McCutchen gave the Pirates a two-run edge in the eighth with an RBI single off Joba Chamberlain. The teams play the second of the three-game series tonight, with Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alfredo Simon (7-4, 3.57) facing Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A.J. Burnett (6-3, 2.01). Burnett is 6-3 in 12 career starts against the Tigers, although he lost to Detroit on April 14. In his last two starts, Simon has allowed 12 runs on 14 hits and six walks over nine innings.
Mackanin to remain manager By The Associated Press Before Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against the Brewers, the Phillies said Pete Mackanin will remain their manager for the rest of the season. Mackanin took over on an interim basis last Friday after Ryne Sandberg resigned. The announcement came a day after Philadelphia named longtime baseball executive Andy MacPhail its president in waiting. MacPhail will spend the next three months evaluating the organization before replacing Pat Gillick. In a game matching the two worst teams in baseball, the start was delayed by rain for 1 hour, 19 minutes.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP
NHL FREE AGENCY
More teams are being cautious By The Associated Press
LENNY IGNELZI/Associated Press
THE MARINERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Nelson Cruz scored ahead of the tag by Padres catcher Derek Norris during the ninth inning of Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in San Diego.
Sale matches record as Sox outlast Cards By The Associated Press Chris Sale matched a major league record by striking out at least 10 in eight straight starts, and the Chicago White Sox outlasted the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 in 11 innings Tuesday night on a home run by Tyler Flowers. Sale struck out 12 in eight innings. The lefthander tied the mark set by Pedro Martinez in 1999 with Boston. The White Sox ace had fanned every hitter in the St. Louis lineup by the end of the sixth. Sale helped himself in his 100th career start, singling for his first hit and scoring the first run for the White Sox. Flowers hit his sixth homer with two outs in the 11th. He connected off Miguel Socolovich (2-1), pitching for the first time in nine days. ROCKIES 2, ATHLETICS 1: Jorge De La Rosa pitched seven strong innings to carry Colorado past Oakland for its first interleague win of the season. Charlie Blackmon singled to break a scoreless tie in the fifth. Nolan Arenado extended his major league-leading hitting streak to a career-high 17 games. Troy Tulowitzki also singled and has hit in 14 straight for the Rockies, who snapped a three-game skid. Colorado had been 0-7 in interleague games this season and had lost 14 straight in American League ballparks. MARINERS 5, PADRES 0: Seattle rookie Mike Montgomery took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning and finished with a one-hitter for his second straight shutout. Making his sixth major league start, Montgomery opened the seventh by getting Justin Upton on a fly to left. Yangervis Solarte hit Montgomeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next pitch into the left-field corner for a double. The Padres were shut out for the 12th time and have lost five of eight. Brad Miller and Mike Zunino homered off Ian Kennedy (4-7). TWINS 8, REDS 5: Torii Hunter homered again after a long delay at the start of the game, and Phil Hughes got his third straight victory for Minnesota. The start was delayed 2 hours, 1 minute because a storm was headed toward the ballpark. The storm dissolved on the way. Hunter got the Twins going by hitting a solo drive in the first inning off Anthony DeSclafani (5-6). AMERICAN LEAGUE RANGERS 8, ORIOLES 6: Mitch Moreland hit two home runs for the second straight game, and the Rangers celebrated the return of Josh Hamilton with a road win. Shin-Soo Choo and Robinson Chirinos also went deep for the Rangers, who have hit eight home runs in the first two games of the series. Hamilton hit two singles and made a nice running catch in his eighth game of the season. The free-swinging slugger had been sidelined with a strained left hamstring. Chris Davis hit two home runs for Baltimore and Manny Machado added a solo shot. Miguel Gonzalez (6-5) got the loss. ASTROS 4, ROYALS 0: Dallas Keuchel allowed seven hits in eight innings to lead Houston to the victory. Keuchel struck out seven while lowering his ERA to 2.03. George Springer had a two-run homer in the third inning. Jose Altuve drove in a run in the fifth to help Houston to the victory.
The Astros have taken the first two games of this matchup of teams with the best records in the American League. Houston is 46-34 and Kansas City is 44-30. ANGELS 2, YANKEES 1: Andrew Heaney pitched seven innings of two-hit ball in Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth straight win, and Albert Pujols and Erick Aybar hit back-to-back homers in the sixth. The Angels have won six of eight on their nine-game homestand. Mark Teixeira homered for the Yankees, who have lost seven of 10. RED SOX 4, BLUE JAYS 3: David Ortiz and Jackie Bradley Jr. hit solo home runs in Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third straight win, and Eduardo Rodriguez pitched six solid innings. The Red Sox matched their longest winning streak of the season. Rodriguez (4-2) gave up one run and four hits, slowing down the top-scoring team in the majors. INDIANS 6, RAYS 2: Danny Salazar pitched two-hit ball for 7 2-3 innings, and the Indians backed him with three home runs. Jason Kipnis, Giovanny Urshela and David Murphy connected for Cleveland, sending Tampa Bay to its third straight loss. NATIONAL LEAGUE CUBS 1, METS 0: Kyle Hendricks outpitched Jonathon Niese in a matchup of feeble offenses, and the Cubs stopped a five-game skid. Hendricks (3-4) struck out six in six innings and combined with three relievers on a threehitter. Jason Motte earned his third save. Matt Szczur had an RBI double in the sixth for the Cubs, who scored just six runs during their losing streak. MARLINS 5, GIANTS 3: Major league batting leader Dee Gordon hit the first inside-thepark homer in the four-year history of Marlins Park, and the three-run shot helped Miami to the win. Justin Bour also homered for the Marlins, giving a welcome jolt of power to a team without injured slugger Giancarlo Stanton. Buster Posey hit his 12th homer for the Giants. He has 18 RBIs in his past 10 games. NATIONALS 6, BRAVES 1: Jordan Zimmermann took a shutout into the eighth inning, and Washington continued its season-long dominance of the division rivalry. The NL East-leading Nationals have won nine straight games in the season series with the Braves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a three-game sweep at Washington last week. BREWERS 4, PHILLIES 3: Aramis Ramirez drove in three runs and Ryan Braun had four hits, leading Milwaukee to the road win. Hernan Perez had two hits, including a triple, for the Brewers, who have won six of eight. Carlos Ruiz homered for Philadelphia, which has lost five of six to drop its major league-worst record to 27-52. DODGERS 6, DIAMONDBACKS 4: Yasmani Grandal homered early and hit a two-run double in the 10th inning to finish with four RBIs, lifting Los Angeles over Arizona. Howie Kendrick had four hits for the Dodgers, who have won eight of nine against Arizona. Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Ahmed homered in consecutive games for the first time in his big league career.
Clymer Legion rallies past Indiana Lions By The Indiana Gazette CLYMER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In a game played Monday, Clymer Legion mustered just three hits but plated four runs in the last two innings to edge Indiana Lions, 9-8, in an Indiana County Youth Legion baseball game.

The suspect in the case, Dylann Roof, embraced Confederate symbols before the attack, posing with the rebel battle flag. That revelation prompted a reappraisal of the role such symbols play in the South. France, who said he found the Confederate flag an â&#x20AC;&#x153;insensitive symbolâ&#x20AC;? that he finds offensive, has vowed to be aggressive in

Duquesne’s Ferry signs extension PITTSBURGH (AP) — Duquesne men’s basketball coach Jim Ferry signed a contract extension on Tuesday as his rebuilding project with the Dukes continues. Terms of the extension were not disclosed. Ferry is 33-58 in three seasons at Duquesne, including a 1219 mark in 2014-15. The Dukes went 6-12 in the Atlantic 10 last winter and won an opening round game in the Atlantic 10 tournament for just the third time in the last 20 years. Ferry came to Duquesne in 2012 following a decade at Long Island, which he led to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in 2011 and 2012. Ferry says his staff has made “significant strides” over the past two years. The Dukes will return four starters in 2015-16, including senior guard Derrick Colter and senior forward Jeremiah Jones.

Big names, big bucks and big markets in pursuit. NBA free agency opened with Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard agreeing to max contract extensions to stay where they are, and the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks among the teams looking for a dominant inside force of their own. All-Stars LaMarcus Aldridge of Portland and Marc Gasol of Memphis lead the list of bigs that includes DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers, Tyson Chandler of Dallas, and twins Brook Lopez of the Nets and Robin Lopez of Portland. Dwyane Wade has to decide if he wants to stay in Miami, Rajon Rondo will leave Dallas, and count on the Lakers being linked to many of the marquee names as they try to bring what was long a perennial contender back to prominence after two straight miserable seasons. The market opened just after midnight today — 9:01 p.m. in Los Angeles — and the Lakers wasted no time talking to their top target, tweeting that general manager Mitch Kupchak was walking into a meeting with Aldridge and adding # LAtoLA. Gasol is expected to stay, Aldridge is considered a candidate to leave and Jordan is somewhere in the middle. He will meet with the Mavericks, Lakers, Clippers and Knicks, according to a person with direct knowledge of the plans who spoke on condition of anonymity because the center’s agenda was not being revealed publicly. Players can agree to deals at any time but can’t sign until July 9, after a moratorium period while next season’s salary cap that’s expected to be around $68 million is set. That’s when Davis will know the exact value of the more than $140 million extension with the New Orleans Pelicans he agreed to, which was confirmed to AP by a person with knowledge of the details. Davis tweeted: “NOLA, I am here to stay! Just getting started.” Leonard agreed to the parameters of a five-year deal that could be worth $90 million with the San Antonio Spurs, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed to AP. The deal is the latest sign that Leonard is poised to become the new face of the franchise, inheriting that designation from Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. Leonard averaged 16.5 points this season and won the Defensive Player of the Year award and will accompany Duncan, coach Gregg Popovich and GM R.C. Buford to a meeting with Aldridge today. The Lakers and Knicks have holes all over their rosters, but it’s not just the bad teams who will be busy. The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to keep Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson, the backup who played so well in helping them reach the NBA Finals after Love was lost to a shoulder injury in the first round of the playoffs. They also have to resign LeBron James, but that’s expected to be a formality once they’ve completed some other business. He opted for free agency mostly to maximize his earning potential, not because he’s looking to leave after returning home to Ohio as the major move of last year’s free agency period. The Rockets and Mavericks will be aggressive as always, with Houston looking to strengthen its Western Conference finals team and Dallas trying to assemble one that can get there. Both teams attempted to pry Carmelo Anthony away from New York last year before he opted to remain with the Knicks.
Blatter won’t attend Cup final
RYAN REMIORZ/Canadian Press
CARLI LLOYD scored on a penalty kick against Germany in the second half of Tuesday’s match.
Lloyd’s kick sends Americans to finals
Continued from Page 13 ramps to the building’s third level at one point. The stadium built for the 1976 Olympics, where the East German men won the gold medal, was filled nearly to its blue fabric roof, mostly with fans cheering for the United States. The crowd was announced at 51,176. Previous games in Montreal had the stadium less than half full, with the upper bowl completely empty. The United States had several good chances from the start. Julie Johnston missed on a header off a corner kick from Megan Rapinoe, and Alex Morgan’s breakaway in the 15th minute was stopped by goaltender Nadine Angerer. There was a scary moment in the first half when Germany’s Alexandra Popp and American midfielder Morgan Brian collided in front of the U.S. goal following a free kick from about 25 yards out. Television cameras caught blood in Popp’s hair, and Brian was prone on the field for several minutes. Both players returned to the match. Sasic’s penalty kick came after Johnston fouled Popp in the box. Sasic fooled Solo, who went right, but her kick went wide left, prompting a roar from the crowd. Sasic went into the match as the tournament’s high scorer with six goals. Shortly thereafter, Annike Krahn got a yellow card for fouling Morgan in the box, but replays showed it occurred just outside. Lloyd’s penalty kick was her third goal in three matches.
“Of course, I’m very, very sad about this, that this penalty shot decided the match,” German coach Silvia Neid said. “What am I going to do though? A referee decision is something I have to live with. I am very sad about it, but I cannot change it.” Lloyd is known for coming up big in important games. 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 final of the 2012 London Olympics against Japan. She is the only player to score the winning goals in consecutive Olympic finals. In the World Cup quarterfinals, she scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over China. O’Hara scored on Lloyd’s left-footed cross. The United States tweaked its formation for the match. Morgan started up top, with Lloyd as an attacking midfielder with Rapinoe and Tobin Heath on the wings. The U.S. had success in its quarterfinal against China when it had Lloyd roaming up top and Brian back as a holding midfielder. The shift paid off with Lloyd’s goal on a lofted kick from Johnston. The United States improved to 3-1 against Germany in World Cup matches and 19-4-7 overall. “I think inside our environment, we knew we had this in us,” coach Jill Ellis said. “We do a good job of blocking out the distractions.” The United States has won two World Cup titles, but none since 1999. The Americans have appeared in the semifinals of all seven of the women’s tournaments. This tournament has played out with FIFA embroiled in scandal.
2015 U.S. team seeking its day in the spotlight Continued from Page 13 World Cup, though, it has been hard to shake them. The 1999 team has been everywhere. Julie Foudy, a former midfielder, is an ESPN analyst for the World Cup. Tony DiCicco, the 1999 team coach, is calling the games on Fox Sports, many times criticizing coach Jill Ellis as he offers how he would do things. An ESPN documentary called “The 99ers” has been aired at least a half-dozen times. On the day of one recent showing, Foudy posted on Twitter about her memories of the World Cup victory, with ’99 goalkeeper Briana Scurry and Kate Markgraf (the former Kate Sobrero) chiming in about how wonderful it was to win back then. “Um, we’d make a good documentary, too,” Krieger said with a laugh. Don’t get them wrong — these ’15ers on the field for the United States appreciate all that the ’99ers have done for women’s sports and soccer in America. But if they don’t win the final on Sunday — in which they will play either England or Japan — it will be four more years of waiting and wondering if they can ever live up to a nearly unattainable standard set by pioneers.
If the Americans lose on Sunday, by the next World Cup it will be 20 years since the U.S. team’s last title in the tournament. It’s not exactly the Cubs’ drought in the World Series. In some ways, it’s worse. Because the longer the United States takes to win another World Cup, the more the pressure to win it will grow and the holier the 1999 team will become, which seems impossible because those ’99ers were beatified as soon as Chastain nailed that final penalty kick. But today’s team will remind you, albeit very gently, that winning the World Cup is not as easy as it was 16 years ago. “The game has changed,” Krieger said. “Other countries have caught up.” In 1999, there were 16 teams in the World Cup, expanded from 12 in the previous tournament. Now there are 24, with improved teams like England, which has made the semifinals. Keep in mind that winning in 1999 wasn’t that easy, either. The 1999 squad did not crush the competition. It came down to penalty kicks, and if China’s Liu Ying didn’t aim for the right corner of the net, and if Scurry didn’t leap in that direction to bat the
ball away, it would be Chinese players, not these Americans, who might be talking about the looming legacy of the ’99ers. Just like that, the myth of the American ’99ers never happens. Then, maybe, this United States team wouldn’t be here, as Rapinoe said. And then these Americans wouldn’t have had the chance to make it to the quarterfinals and to the semifinals, where they played more freely and with more fire, pushing forward, just like the ’99ers did. On Tuesday, as the giant scoreboard at Olympic Stadium read, 2-0, the Americans celebrated by leaping atop one another in a big pile and pumped their fists and hugged one another and played to the crowd by raising their hands to encourage more cheers. It was as if they had won it all. But there is one more game to go. One more game until they can step out of the ’99ers’ shadow and — finally — into their own sun. “We didn’t come here just to make the final,” said midfielder Carli Lloyd, who scored on Tuesday. “We came here to win it.” She added, “I’m feeling very confident that we will win it.”
ZURICH (AP) — FIFA President Sepp Blatter will not be traveling to Canada for Sunday’s Women’s World Cup final, FIFA said, as criminal investigations into soccer’s governing body continue in the United States and Switzerland. Secretary general Jerome Valcke will also be absent from the biggest event in women’s soccer. FIFA said in a statement Tuesday that “due to their current commitments in Zurich, the FIFA President and the FIFA Secretary General will remain at the FIFA Headquarters.” Traveling to Canada would have taken Blatter to the doorstep of the United States, where he is a target of one of the investigations into soccer corruption. There have been no charges or accusations against Blatter — unlike two of his vice presidents, who remain in custody in Switzerland.
Messi, Argentina will face Chile CONCEPCION, Chile (AP) — Lionel Messi helped set up five goals as Argentina trounced Paraguay 6-1 in the Copa America semifinals, setting up a final against host Chile. Messi assisted in first-half goals by Marcos Rojo and Javier Pastore and one of Angel Di Maria’s secondhalf goals. The Barcelona star also helped set up the final two goals by Sergio Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain. Striker Lucas Barrios scored the lone goal for Paraguay, which was trying to reach its second straight final in the South American tournament.
Blackhawks trade Saad to Jackets CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks said all along that Brandon Saad would be back next season. Right up until Tuesday afternoon. The Stanley Cup champions parted with Saad in a seven-player deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets on the eve of NHL free agency, wary of a big offer sheet for the rugged forward that the Blackhawks would be unable to match with their salary cap situation. Saad, 22, set career highs with 23 goals and 29 assists in 82 games this past season.
• SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The San Jose Sharks found their starting goaltender for next season, acquiring Martin Jones in a trade from the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. The Sharks sent a 2016 first-round pick and unsigned forward prospect Sean Kuraly to the Bruins for Jones, four days after he had been dealt from San Jose’s biggest rival Los Angeles to Boston.
Bolt withdraws from meetings PARIS (AP) — Slowed by an injured left leg, Usain Bolt withdrew from this month’s Diamond League meetings in Paris and Lausanne, dealing a blow to his title defense preparations for the world championships in August. A statement said the 28year-old “has been feeling discomfort in his left leg since his last competition which has restricted his training.” Bolt’s last race was a 200 meters in New York on June 13 that he described as “really bad.” His time of 20.29 was more than a second off his world record of 19.19.
Auburn, Oregon to play in Dallas ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Auburn and Oregon will open the 2019 season at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, nine seasons after meeting in the BCS national championship game. The matchup on Aug. 31, 2019, was announced Tuesday. It is part of a series of Labor Day weekend season openers at AT&T Stadium. Alabama plays this year’s opener against Wisconsin, and takes on Southern California there in 2016. Florida meets Michigan in the 2017 opener, and LSU plays Miami in 2018.
Goosen qualifies for British Open ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen made birdie on the first playoff hole to qualify for the British Open. Goosen shot 67-72 at Woburn to get into a threefor-one playoff for the final spot. Paul Dunne of Ireland was medalist at Woburn for the second straight year. He was joined by Robert Dinwiddie of England, who finally made it after 16 tries. Qualifying was held at four courses in Britain, each offering three spots.
FSU QB charged with battery TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State freshman quarterback De’Andre Johnson has been charged with misdemeanor battery. Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman confirmed the charge Tuesday in email to The Associated Press. Cappleman declined further comment. The Tallahassee Police Department has issued a warrant for Johnson, who allegedly punched a woman in the face at a Tallahassee nightclub at approximately 11:30 p.m. on June 24. The quarterback was suspended indefinitely on Thursday by Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher for a violation of athletics department policy. A Jacksonville native, Johnson was the state’s Mr. Football in 2014. He completed 8 of 11 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns in FSU’s spring game in April.

Apple violated antitrust law By LARRY NEUMEISTER Associated Press
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Apple violated antitrust laws by colluding with publishers to raise electronic book prices when it entered a market in 2010 that had been dominated by Amazon.com, a federal appeals court said Tuesday. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled 2-to-1 that a lower court judge was right to find Apple Inc. violated the laws to upset Amazon.com Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control of the market. The appeals court also agreed that U.S. District Judge Denise Cote was right to order injunctive relief to ensure the Cupertino, Calif.-based company didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit additional violations of antitrust laws. Cote ruled against Apple after a civil trial in summer 2013. She ordered the technology giant to modify contracts with publishers to prevent price fixing and appointed a monitor to review the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antitrust policies. The appeals court weeks ago upheld the appointment of the monitor. In a majority opinion written by Judge Debra Ann Livingston, the 2nd Circuit said Coteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finding that Apple orchestrated a conspiracy among publishers to raise electronic book prices was â&#x20AC;&#x153;amply supported and well-reasoned.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also conclude that the district courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injunction is lawful and consistent with preventing future anticompetitive harms,â&#x20AC;? the appeals court said. In a dissent, Judge Dennis Jacobs defended the actions Apple took as it fought to raise the price of e-books when Seattlebased Amazon had 90 percent control of the market selling books online for $9.99. He said it was a mistake by Cote and his fellow appeals judges to assume â&#x20AC;&#x153;competition should be genteel, lawyer-designed, and fair under sporting rules, and that antitrust law is offended by glovesoff competition.â&#x20AC;? In the majority opinion, though, Livingston wrote that it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;startlingâ&#x20AC;? that Jacobs would agree Apple intentionally organized a conspiracy among publishers to raise e-book prices and then say the company was entitled to do so because the conspiracy helped it become an ebook retailer. The U.S. Justice Department and 33 states and territories originally sued Apple and five publishers.
Perry caught in dispute LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Katy Perry is caught in a property dispute between a group of elderly nuns and the Los Angeles Archdiocese over who owns a hilltop convent overlooking Hollywood. The singer is named in a recent lawsuit over the scenic property in the Los Feliz neighborhood. The dispute centers on who is authorized to sell the convent. The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary say the building is theirs, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sold it to a local restaurateur, Dana Hollister, who has already moved in. In a June 19 lawsuit, the archdiocese claims it is responsible for selling the property, and plans a $14.5 million deal with another buyer, Perry. A spokeswoman for the entertainer did not respond to inquiries from The Associated Press. The archdiocese released a statement Monday saying it has taken legal action to prevent Hollister from assuming control of the property, claiming the sale was unauthorized.

Thirty-one years and counting, and the Terminators keep rolling off the assembly line like new iPhones, upgraded with shape-shifting abilities, rebooted Sarah Conner assassination levels and, one presumes, better selfie cameras. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminator Genisys,â&#x20AC;? directed by Alan Taylor (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thor: The Dark Worldâ&#x20AC;?), is the fifth entry in the series begun by James Cameron and a naked money grab aimed at rejuvenating a flagging franchise. The three-plus decades of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminatorâ&#x20AC;? have spread across the relentless march of technology and the Internet, but the movies are curiously stuck between their pre-digital 1980s origins and a dystopian vision of machinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rule over the planet. However many Terminators are unveiled, the mechanical heart and soul of the series will always be Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s T-800. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the android version of earlier, cast-aside operating systems: a Game Boy with a gun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old, not obsolete,â&#x20AC;? he says in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genisys.â&#x20AC;? And that, surprisingly, is the case. Schwarzeneggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to his most iconic role (he was absent in the forgettable 2009 entry â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminator Salvationâ&#x20AC;? while governor) provides much of the appeal of this otherwise purposeless redo. Not only does his leather jacket-clad hulk continually best newer, better Terminators, in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genisysâ&#x20AC;? the 67year-old successfully wrestles a synthetic version of his younger, body-building self. Aging is a hard fact of life, even for the machines sent from the future to kill us. Five films in, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genisysâ&#x20AC;? works very hard to explain its existence.

THE CONNERS face a T-800 robot in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminator Genisys.â&#x20AC;? The movie is in theaters now. gridis and Patrick Lussier begin in 2029, long after Skynet robots destroyed most of humanity in Judgment Day. John Conner (Jason Clarke) is leading a promising if grim revolution when the fight begins hopping through time. To rescue Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Sarah Conner, John sends his loyal soldier Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) to 1984. But the machines are aware of the plot, and after Reese lands with a thud in a Los Angeles back alley, the familiar T-1000 of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminator 2â&#x20AC;? (he of liquid metal, played here by Byung-hun Lee) is just around the corner. Sarah (Emilia Clarke) is more the one doing the rescuing, though. With Schwarzeneggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terminator in tow (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Popsâ&#x20AC;? she calls her longtime cyborg protector), she informs Reese of a very different mission than the one he was expecting. An alternate timeline, caused by the crisscrossing
time travel, is offered up for why many of the events of previous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminatorâ&#x20AC;? films â&#x20AC;&#x201D; often in the same locations, with the same catchphrases â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are repeated. It makes for a cautionary tale: Hand reboot-crazy Hollywood a plot device like a time machine and the most advisable course of action is to run for cover. The movies may be acquiring another potentially dangerous tool: the means to clone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminator Genisysâ&#x20AC;? may well be most remembered for the digital cameo of a young Schwarzenegger.
Granted, monosyllabic blocks of wood are likely easier to photocopy than other actors. But the digital rendering is nevertheless impressive. Sarah, Reese and the T-800 travel ahead to 2017 to prevent Judgment Day, postponed (through a great deal of illogical, belabored description) from its original 1997 date. The film tries to claw its way into the present, and, hopefully, into a future trilogy. Linda Hamilton devotees will likely never accept another in the role. But Clarke,
the ascendant dragon mother of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game of Thrones,â&#x20AC;? gives the film enough grit and a touch of depth. But as Taylor leads the movie from set piece to set piece, the time-traveling thread of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminatorâ&#x20AC;? begins to unravel and its welcome playful tone (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genisysâ&#x20AC;? is often enjoyably ludicrous) bleeds into ill-advised selfparody. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminatorâ&#x20AC;? films are about a ceaseless, impossible quest to close the Pandoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box of technology before it ruins us. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genisysâ&#x20AC;? is too busy remixing franchise favorites and setting up further sequels to devote much attention to the sci-fi anxieties that spurred it in the first place. As Alex Garlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ex Machinaâ&#x20AC;? showed, those are questions worth rebooting.

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE It’s universally understood that a red flag means stop, or some variation of caution. A green flag, on the other hand, means, “Wow what a great idea!” That’s how I mark email from my awesome Everyday Cheapskate readers who send me their best tips. Check out this fresh batch of Email greenquestions or flagged tips to tips: mary@every SAVE A daycheap CUKE: You skate.com or know Everyday how the Cheapskate, expensive 12340 Seal English Beach Blvd., cucumSuite B-416, bers at Seal Beach, CA the store 90740. are wrapped in plastic? The guys at Cook’s Illustrated tested wrapping regular uncut and cut cucumbers in plastic wrap. Both allow you to keep a cucumber fresh for up to a week! — Jessica LAST-MINUTE SEARCH: Before you buy something online, do a general search on the Internet for the item. You can often save a lot. For example, I was shopping online for a new headboard for my bed recently. After much searching, I found the exact one I wanted for $499. Just to see what would happen, I typed the name of the item into my Internet search engine and found the same item on another site for half the price. I’m glad I searched. What a savings. — Caitlin BAG THE SPUDS: When a recipe calls for putting something like potato pieces in a bowl, and adding oil to mix and coat prior to roasting, I use a plastic market produce bag instead. Uses far less oil, and no oily bowl to wash. — Tempe REMOVE THE GOO: Ever pulled a sticker off of fabric only to find it has left a residue or part of the sticker backing? Here’s how to get it off: Take a piece of a brown paper bag and place it over the area. Set your iron on low/medium and iron over the bag. The heat will melt the glue and the remnant of the sticker will adhere to the bag. — Melissa CLEAR LUNCH BAG: Use a gallon-size zippered plastic bag to take your lunch to work. It holds a sandwich, chips, a juice box and a dessert very comfortably. Because they are reusable, in the long run they are a better value than brown paper sacks and don’t use as much room in the landfill. — Jessica RENEW THE DRYER: What a mess if you ever get gum or crayons melted inside the dryer. Here’s what to do: Get some old towels, pop them in the dryer and run on hot for a few minutes to soften the wax/gum. Now make a paste of Cascade dishwasher detergent and hot water. With a damp cloth, use this paste to scrub off the gum/wax. Go over the entire inside of the dryer, and then make sure you rinse it off well. Run a load of old towels to make sure it’s all gone. — Maggie RESCUE WITH TAPE: Keep a roll of double-sided tape in your dresser drawer. It comes in handy to keep slippery scarves in place and lapels stuck down. It even works as an emergency hem fix. — Janell Mary invites questions, comments and tips at mary@everydaycheap skate.com, or c/o Everyday Cheapskate, 12340 Seal Beach Blvd., Suite B-416, Seal Beach, CA 90740.

EMMA MORANO, 115, looked at an old portrait of herself while sitting in her apartment on June 26 in Italy.
Women believed to be last living from 19th century By ANTONIO CALANNI and MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press
When Susannah Mushatt Jones and Emma Morano were born in 1899, there was not yet world war or penicillin, and electricity was still considered a marvel. The women are believed to be the last two in the world with birthdates in the 1800s. The world has multiplied and changed drastically in their lifetimes. They have seen war destroy landmarks and cities and have seen them rebuilt. They witnessed the Gilded Age, a term coined by Mark Twain, and the dawn of civil rights, the rise and fall of the fascists and Benito Mussolini, the first polio vaccines and the first black president of the United States. Jones, who lives in Brooklyn, currently tops a list of supercentenarians, or people who have lived past 110, which is maintained by Los Angeles-based Gerontology Research Group. The organization tracks and maintains a database of the world’s longest-living people. Morano, of Verbania, Italy, is just a few months younger than Jones and is Europe’s oldest person, according to the group. The group knows of no others born in the 1800s.
EMMA MORANO Born: Nov. 29, 1899 Verbania, Italy Morano has lived on her own ever since she left her husband in 1938 because he beat her. Now 115, she resides in a neat one-room apartment in Verbania, a mountain town overlooking Lake Major in northwest Italy. She is cared for by her village: The mayor gave her a TV set, her niece stops in twice a day and her adoring physician of more than 25 years checks up on her regularly. Morano attributes her longevity to her unusual diet: Three raw eggs a day (now two raw eggs and about 5 ounces of raw steak after a bout of anemia) — a diet she’s been on for decades after a sickly childhood. “My father brought me to the doctor, and when he saw me he said, ‘Such a beautiful girl. If you had come just two days later, I would have not been able to save you.’ He told me to eat two or three eggs a day, so I eat two eggs a day.” Her physician today, Dr. Carlo Bava, is convinced there’s a genetic component as well. “From a strictly medical and scientific point of view, she can be considered a phenomenon,” he said, noting
that Morano takes no medication and has been in stable, good health for years. Italy is known for its centenarians — many of whom live in Sardinia — and gerontologists at the University of Milan are studying Morano, along with a handful of Italians over age 105, to try to figure out why they live so long. “Emma seems to go against everything that could be considered the guidelines for correct nutrition: She has always eaten what she wants, with a diet that is absolutely repetitive,” Bava said. “For years, she has eaten the same thing every day, not much vegetables or fruit. But she’s gotten this far.” Morano’s sister, whom Bava cared for as well, died at 97. On a recent visit, Morano was in feisty spirits, displaying the sharp wit and fine voice that used to stop men in their tracks. “I sang in my house, and people on the road stopped to hear me singing. And then they had to run because they were late and should go to work,” she recalled, before breaking into a round of the 1930s Italian love song “Parlami d’amore Mariu.” “Ahh, I don’t have my voice anymore,” she lamented at the end. Bava also credits Morano’s longevity to her outlook: She is positive — “She never says, ‘I’ve had enough,’” he said — but stubborn. He recalled that when she needed blood transfusions a few years ago, she refused to go to the hospital. When he warned her that she would die without them, “Her response was ‘That means my time has come. If you want, care for me at home; otherwise, I’ll die.’” And even though her movements now are limited — she gets out of bed and into her armchair and back again, her eyesight is bad and hearing weak — she does seem to sneak around at night. “Her niece and I leave some biscuits and chocolates out at night in the kitchen. And in the morning they’re gone, which means someone has gotten up during the night and eaten them,” he said.
SUSANNAH MUSHATT JONES Born: July 6, 1899 Brooklyn, N.Y. Now 115 years old, Jones spends her days in her onebedroom apartment in a public housing facility for seniors in Brooklyn, where she has lived for more than three decades. She sticks to a strict daily
routine: Every morning she wakes up around 9 a.m., takes a bath and then eats several slices of bacon, scrambled eggs and grits. On a recent day, Jones said little, but family members said she spends her days reflecting on her life and embracing what’s left of it — one day at a time. Her living room walls are adorned with family photos and birthday cards made by children in the community. “Hey, Tee,” Jones’ niece, Lois Judge, said to her aunt using a family nickname, “How old are you?” “I don’t know,” the frail Jones responded. Jones, who wears a yellow turban on her head and a nightgown most days, watches the world from a small recliner. Posters from past birthday parties, letters from local elected officials and a note from President Barack Obama fill the surfaces. A sign in the kitchen reads: “Bacon makes everything better.” She was born in a small farm town near Montgomery, Ala. She was one of 11 siblings and attended a special school for young black girls. When she graduated from high school in 1922, Jones worked full time helping family members pick crops. She left after a year to begin working as a nanny, heading north to New Jersey and eventually making her way to New York. “She adored kids,” Judge said of her aunt, though Jones never had any children of her own and was married for only a few years. Family members say there is no medical reason for her long life, crediting it to her love of family and generosity to others. Judge said she also believes her aunt’s longevity is thanks to growing up on a rural farm where she ate fresh fruits and vegetables that she picked herself. After she moved to New York, Jones worked with a group of her fellow high school graduates to start a scholarship fund for young African-American women to go to college. She was also active in her public housing building’s tenant patrol until she was 106. Despite her age, she only sees a doctor once every four months and takes medication for high blood pressure and a multivitamin every day. Aside from that, she has had a clean bill of health for years, Judge said. Jones is blind after glaucoma claimed her eyesight 15 years ago and is also hard of hearing. She will turn 116 next week. Family members plan to throw her a party.

TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press
Kardashian speaks at public affairs event By The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — The big reveal from Kim Kardashian’s guest turn for San Francisco’s revered Commonwealth Club of California on Tuesday night? She was wearing maternity Spanx under her black designer dress to conceal cellulite, not her pregnant belly. The reality TV star and fashion mogul was invited by the 112-year-old club that describes itself as the nation’s oldest and largest public affairs program to talk about her famous family, the business of millennial culture and the objectification of women in media. Kardashian did discuss those topics, and others, during an hourlong appearance before an adoring audience that was mostly young and female. But the mild questions she was asked, first by a retired state judge who served as interviewer and then by audience members via Twitter, elicited few deep answers. “How do you explain your popularity?” Judge LaDoris Cordell asked Kardashian after the topic of the 34year-old’s outfit was covered. “I really do love social media. I credit it to a lot of

Today is Wednesday, July 1, the 182nd day of 2015. There are 183 days left in the year. This is Canada Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 1, 1940, the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington state opened to traffic despite concerns over its tendency to “bounce” in windy conditions, inspiring the nickname “Galloping Gertie” (four months later, the suspension bridge’s main section collapsed into Puget Sound). On this date: In 1535, Sir Thomas More went on trial in England, charged with high treason for rejecting the Oath of Supremacy. (More was convicted, and executed.) In 1863, the pivotal, threeday Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, resulting in a Union victory, began in Pennsylvania. In 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain as the British North America Act took effect. In 1912, aviator Harriet Quimby, 37, was killed along with her passenger, William Willard, when they were thrown out of Quimby’s monoplane at the third annual Boston Aviation Meet. In 1934, Hollywood began enforcing its Production Code subjecting motion pictures to censorship review. In 1946, the United States exploded a 20-kiloton atomic bomb near Bikini Atoll in the Pacific. In 1965, “The Great Race,”
my career,” Kardashian answered. “My career is based on openness, openness and honesty.” Cordell noted that Kardashian has 94 million social media followers. “Maybe it’s the bikini selfies,” the photogenic guest continued. “I think I definitely overshare, but I’m really engaged.” Then it was time for a tough question. Do the media degrade women, Cordell asked, to the status of mere sexual objects? Does the large number of selfies Kardashian posts objectify her? “Yes. I don’t think it’s a bad thing,” she answered. “I think there’s power in that and I think I have the control to put out what I want so even if I’m objectifying myself, I feel good about it.” ❏❏❏ NEW YORK — Watch out, HGTV. Fox News Channel is getting into the real estate television business. The network announced that it will debut a new weekend series, “Bob Massi is the Property Man,” at noon on Saturdays, starting July 11. Massi is a real estate attorney based in Las Vegas, and Fox says his show will explore all aspects of that city’s market.
Blake Edwards’ big-budget homage to oldtime slapstick comedy starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood, was released by Warner Bros. In 1974, the president of Argentina, Juan Peron, died; he was succeeded by his wife, Isabel Martinez de Peron. In 1980, “O Canada” was proclaimed the national anthem of Canada. In 1995, rock-and-roll disc jockey Wolfman Jack died in Belvidere, N.C., at age 57. In 2000, Vermont’s civil unions law, which granted gay couples most of the rights, benefits and responsibilities of marriage, went into effect. The Confederate flag was removed from atop South Carolina’s Statehouse (in a compromise, another Confederate flag was raised on the Statehouse grounds in front of a soldier’s monument).

Boyfriend’s teen escapade is in the past DEAR ABBY: I have been with my boyfriend for a little over two years. He recently mentioned that when he was younger (19), he had a threesome (two guys, one girl). We are both over 35, so I realize this happened many years ago, but the fact that it was two guys is hard for me. I can’t seem to get it out of my head. I keep seeing the images. Dear Abby is I try to tell written by myself my Abigail Van boyfriend is Buren| and a different was founded man today by her mother, than the Pauline teen he Phillips. was. I don’t understand why it’s bothering me so much. How can I find a way to get past this? Please give me some direction. — CAN’T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD DEAR CAN’T: I respect your boyfriend’s honesty and openness. Because you can’t get this out of your head, talk further with him about his youthful escapade. If your concern is that your boyfriend is interested in having sex with other men, ask him that question. It occurs to me that when two horny teenage boys found one willing girl, that they may not have been as interested in having sex with each other as they were with her.
DEAR ABBY
DEAR ABBY: I am a tattooed female in my late 20s. When I started a job as a cook in an assisted-living facility a year ago, I was required to go through an orientation and the dress code was explained. When I asked about visible tattoos, the lady who ran the orientation was unsure if they were allowed to show and told me to ask my manager. My manager said she didn’t know, but suggested I cover them anyway “just to be safe.” Since then, I have worn long-sleeved polo shirts with the sleeves rolled up. No one has commented about the sleeves. Since I went through that orientation, two girls have been hired who have ink on their arms. They wear short sleeves every day. I’m wondering if I should just show up in short sleeves and risk someone saying something, email corporate and ask what the policy is, or ask our new executive director? Any thoughts? — TO COVER OR NOT TO COVER DEAR T.C.O.N.T.C.: While displaying your tats may not be a problem considering that two other employees are showing theirs, your new executive director should be able to give you a definite answer to your question. And while you’re at it, suggest that because there are now three employees with tattoos, the policy should be clearly stated in the employee handbook, which may be due for an update. DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Brett,” mistakenly used the dog’s toothbrush from the bathroom cabinet. I had it in
there with a bowl of homemade doggie toothpaste that I was trying on the dog. I didn’t realize it until just now. Should I tell him? — QUIET SO FAR IN VERMONT DEAR QUIET SO FAR: If I were you, I’d open my mouth
and “Speak!” before your husband does it again. If he’s grossed out, it will be no more so than the rest of us who read your letter. From now on, keep Rover’s toothbrush in a different location.

game-going values. South employed Blackwood and jumped to seven spades when he knew that they had all of the aces and kings. This was a tad aggressive because there could have been a late diamond loser. At first, South would have his eye on these 13 tricks: five spades, two hearts, three diamonds, two clubs and one diamond ruff on the board. But after he wins the first trick with the heart ace (top of touching honors from the closed hand) and cashes the spade king, West’s discard makes that line much too dangerous — and it fails here. Instead, declarer should cash his club king and play a club to dummy’s ace. When East follows suit, South is home. He ruffs a club in his hand, plays a trump to the dummy, ruffs the last club, overtakes his final spade with the ace on the board, and draws East’s remaining trump, discarding one of his low diamonds. Declarer takes four spades, two hearts, three diamonds, two clubs and the two club ruffs in his hand. It is a textbook dummy reversal. COPYRIGHT: 2015, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

North’s response was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, guaranteeing at least four trumps and
