Fasting marks Muslim holiday

By JAN SHELLENBARGER news@indianagazette.net

As the mid-June evening sky begins to show bands of pink and purple, cars start to fill the parking lot of the Islamic Center of Indiana, where area Muslims will break their daily Ramadan fast.

According to Ali Alahdal, a member of the center and president of IUP’s Muslim Student Association, Ramadan marks the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad, and is considered to be the most important holiday of the Islamic religion.

“We give God the whole month,” he said.

The observation, which this year began on June 18 and will end most likely on July 16 or 17, depending on the cycle of the moon, involves fasting, prayer, devotion and generosity. Ramadan occurs during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is based on the lunar month, so the dates can change from year to year.

“The month lasts 29 to 30 days based on the visual sightings of the crescent moon,” Alahdal said.

Each day during Ramadan healthy adult Muslims are required to refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and bad behavior toward others.

Alahdal considers the period of fasting and reflection to be a journey for both the body and the soul. “The Islamic religion is

ATHENS, Greece — Greece and its membership in Europe’s joint currency faced an uncertain future today, with the country under pressure to reach a bailout deal with creditors as soon as possible after Greeks resoundingly rejected the notion of more austerity in exchange for aid.

With Greek banks running out of cash and facing the danger of collapse within days without new aid, the government in Athens is racing against the clock.

In an effort to facilitate negotiations on a new aid program, Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, who had clashed with European officials in the bailout talks, announced his resignation today.

But Greece and its creditors, who will meet again Tuesday to discuss how to keep the country in the euro, remain far apart on key issues, particularly the notion of debt relief.

The negotiations are complicated for the European creditors by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ triumph in Sunday’s referendum.

More than 61 percent of Greeks backed his call to vote “no” to budget cuts the creditors had proposed in return for rescue loans the Continued on Page 12

Hoodlebug festival returns with food, fun

By ELLEN MATIS

ematis@indianagazette.net

Food and fun for everyone — that’s what can be said about the annual Hoodlebug Summerfest, a community festival held in Homer City, according to event organizers.

The 18th annual Hoodlebug Festival is set for Sunday at the Homer City Fireman’s Field and offers ethnic food booths, a variety of entertainment, artists, crafts, game booths and more.

“It’s a very jam-packed day,” said Sheila Charnego, of the Summerfest committee. “There’s always something to do.”

The festival kicks off at 9:30 a.m. with a Bicycle Poker Run on the Hoodlebug Trail — an event that was just added to the festivities last year. Participants compete in a 12-mile bicycle ride in which they stop at different stations and

pick up playing cards. At the end of the race, the person with the best poker hand is the winner.

Starting at noon and throughout the day, the event features many events and activities for all ages: ethnic food booths, craft and game booths, and old fashioned bingo. Plus, the Homer City Swimming Pool charges only $3 for pool admission the day of the festival.

“I think the food brings a lot of people out because it is food that people don’t make anymore,” Charnego said. “Most of it is homemade.”

A Kids Zone will be open from noon to 4 p.m. with activities especially for youngsters attending the festival — including many games and activities.

A parade begins on Main Street in Homer City at 1 p.m., with the theme “Roaring Twenties” for 2015. The Continued on Page 12

Her siblings, Claire Kirsch, 19, class of 2014, and Rebecca Lingenfelter, 28, class of 2005, both served as drum major while they were students at Penns Manor. Their brother, Alex, was also in marching band and auditioned for the position. He was not selected but still went on to pursue a bachelor’s degree in music education.

“Music has always been a part of my life since I was a child,” Aimee said, “and my older siblings being involved allowed me to experience music as something more than just what one would dance to or hear from a car radio.”

As drum major, Aimee will be responsible for much more than just conducting the Continued on Page 12

Calif. water rates rise as cities lose money in drought

By FENIT NIRAPPIL Associated Press

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Saving water doesn’t always mean saving money in parched California.

Millions of Californians expecting relief on their water bills for taking conservation measures instead are finding higher rates and drought surcharges.

Water departments are increasing rates and adding fees because they’re losing money as their customers conserve. They say they still have to pay for fixed costs including repairing pipelines, customer service and enforcing water restrictions — and those costs aren’t decreasing.

The financial blow is only expected to grow because Gov. Jerry Brown’s adminis-

tration has ordered communities to slash their water use anywhere between 8 and 36 percent compared to 2013 levels in response to the fouryear drought. Those cuts are expected to leave agencies with a $1 billion hole in revenue, and they’ll likely turn to customers to plug it, according to state estimates.

“Just because you use less water does not mean you have lower rates or a lower bill,” said Lori Dolqueist, a water attorney who represents private utilities. “All of these agencies and private water companies are being told to sell less of what they do. It’s a challenge financially.”

While intensive conservation reduces strains on local water supplies, it can spell trouble for government

budgets. Santa Barbara, for example, expects to lose $5 million if residents hit the city’s 20 percent water use reduction target. Residents are going above and beyond and reached 37 percent in May. That’s good for water supply but bad for financial stability.

This month, water bills in Santa Barbara rose between $13 and $120, depending on water use, to help the city recover lost revenue and activate a desalination plant.

“Our folks are coming in and saying ‘Hey, I’m doing everything right, why do I need to pay more?” said Joshua Haggmark, the city’s water resources manager.

It’s not clear precisely how widespread drought-related rate increases are because no government agency or asso-

ciation tracks them.

But agencies across California are reporting they’ve taken steps to tap customers to offset the losses of conservation. Residents in the San Francisco Bay Area, for example, are seeing higher bills after the region’s largest water wholesaler increased the price of water 28 percent to make up for lagging sales.

Others are opting for a clearly labeled temporary drought fee, including the Sacramento suburb of Roseville, which raised $1 million in the last year with a 15 percent surcharge on water use. That surcharge, plus the relatively low price of water, left some residents disappointed by their bills after buying low-flow toilets and tearing out their lawns.

Travis Wills, 42, is still pay-

ing about $30 a month even after ditching a grassy front lawn for black mulch with sego palms, jasmine and Agapanthus flowers and collecting water from his shower and sink in buckets for plants in his backyard.

“We haven’t noticed much of a difference on the bill,” said Wills, who runs a home staging company. “That’s troubling because they want us to reduce water.”

Roseville could double its surcharge if the dry spell deepens, which Wills says he wouldn’t mind too much.

“Maybe if they do that, people will stop wasting so much.”

Dwindling water supplies during the drought have also driven up bills as agencies turn to more expensive resources. The East Bay Munic-

ipal Utility District, serving 1.3 million customers east of San Francisco, is charging the average household an extra $12 a month to pay for tapping water dozens of miles away near Sacramento and conservation programs.

Some water departments are able to weather a drought financially because they designed complicated rates that plan for conservation and cover fixed costs in times of drought.

Even without such mechanisms, others manage to avoid rate hikes.

The Desert Water Agency serving Palm Springs was among the fiercest critics of California’s mandatory conservation order. It warned regulators it would lose more than $10 million under its 36 percent reduction target.

Fate of Confederate flag left to S.C. Legislature

By ALAN BLINDER

New York Times News Service

The South Carolina Legislature is expected today to take up the fate of the Confederate battle flag that flies on the State House grounds, responding to demands that it be removed after the June 17 massacre of nine people at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.

The Senate, encouraged by Gov. Nikki R. Haley and many other elected officials, is scheduled to consider a bipartisan proposal to move the battle flag, long viewed

by African-Americans as a defiant tribute to South Carolina’s segregationist past, to the state’s Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum in Columbia.

If the Senate approves the measure, the debate will shift to the House; Republicans control both chambers. A survey of lawmakers by The Associated Press, the South Carolina Press Association and The Post and Courier, a newspaper in Charleston, found last month that there was most likely enough support in the Legislature to approve the plan.

Still, observers expect an emotional debate, particularly in the House. And in the Senate — where the church’s slain pastor, the Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney, served — one member, Lee Bright, has announced plans to seek a statewide referendum.

“This flag is a part of our heritage, so the people of this state should have the final say,” Bright, R-Spartanburg County, told supporters on Facebook on Wednesday.

Bright, who sought the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat last year, is also offering bumper stickers featuring the Confederate emblem and the message “Keep your hands off my flag” in exchange for campaign contributions.

But he and others who support the flag are facing harsh political headwinds, with many of South Carolina’s elected and business leaders becoming increasingly vocal in their backing of the push to remove it.

For instance, Haley, a Republican, was unequivocal last month when she called for the change in the wake of the killings, which the authorities have described as a hate crime.

“It’s time to move the flag from the Capitol grounds,” she said on June 22, adding that “150 years after the end of the Civil War, the time has come.”

Still, some of the debate in the Legislature this week could focus on the speed with which it began. Many lawmakers had long believed the status of the battle flag was settled.

The flag flew atop the State

MADE IN THE US USA A

decades before state lawmakers, pressured by an NAACP-organized boycott and large protests, agreed in 2000 to remove it from the dome and place it at a memorial on the grounds.

That agreement, codified in a law known as the Heritage Act, required that twothirds of the Legislature agree on any subsequent changes to the flag’s status.

And for many years, lawmakers said they were reluctant to revisit the subject.

But the massacre in Charleston, and photographs of the suspect, Dylann Roof, with the battle flag, prompted wide outrage

rapid debate.

“The South Carolina Legislature doesn’t move rapidly on anything, so the fact that this has all come about is remarkable,” said Scott E. Buchanan, executive director of the Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics.

“I think we’ll look back on this in future years and just be astounded.”

The debate will take place amid tight security after episodes of vandalism and hostile altercations between the flag’s supporters and opponents. Separately, law enforcement officials have been investigating threats against certain legislators.

WASHINGTON — The head of the Pentagon’s new agency in charge of recovering and identifying remains of U.S. war dead said he will push for more partnering with private groups that have resources and interest to help reinvigorate a troubled POW-MIA accounting mission.

Michael Linnington, a recently retired three-star Army general and veteran of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, took over the Defense POW-MIA Accounting Agency in late June and intends to complete its topto-bottom reorganization by the end of the year. His agency was created by merging the two offices that had previously been in charge.

He has little experience in the MIA mission, but told The Associated Press last week that he knows its history is riddled with controversy as well as criticism from Congress and groups that advocate for families of the missing.

“I am aware of some of the reports on the dysfunction,” he said, referring to 2013 reports of deep conflict among multiple agencies previously assigned to the accounting mission.

“Whenever you have disparate organizations all focused in the same area,

John David McCombie Jr., the self-proclaimed “little real cowboy,” concluded his legendary ride on Friday, July 3, 2015, at home surrounded by his family.

On Nov. 11, 1946, this legend was born to Florence and John David McCombie Sr. in Spangler, where he was raised with his four brothers: Ryan, Jeff, David and Dan. From that day, there would be no one who could ever fill John’s cowboy boots that were “rode hard and hung up wet” each and every day.

He lived his life to the fullest, and his legacy abounds with endless accomplishments including attaining Eagle Scout rank, serving in the 4th Infantry Division of the Vietnam War, belonging to the Masonic Lodge #313, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in art education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1972, acting as a lifetime member of the VFW Post #1989, sculpting nationally recognized bronze sculptures, traveling the world, drilling a well in Haiti for a local village that immeasurably improved the quality of life of its residents, and most recently starting the “Raising Stars Foundation,” a humanitarian organization that provides assistance and help to those in need here in the United States and around the world.

His most proud and cherished accomplishment was his family. In 1969, he claimed that he “kissed Barbara Ratay and life ended as I knew it.” He and his lifelong “teammate“ went on to have three children: John David III, Carey McCombie Schuster and Kelly McCombie Polsinelli. He and Barbara are the proud grandparents

of six grandchildren and counting. He loved nothing more than being “home on the farm” with his beloved family and inspiring the world beyond from his “bunk house” (his artistic studio and infamous hangout).

John wished, “Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears.

But laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you. I loved you so — ’twas heaven with you.”

A celebration of his life will take place Friday at the Kovalchick Center in Indiana, where one of John’s lifetime achievements, the grand redtailed hawk, will soar overhead as he will continue to inspire those he leaves behind. On Friday, the family receiving line will take place from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Friday and the formal celebration will begin immediately after.

Donations to his foundation Raising Stars are requested in his memory in lieu of flowers. Checks can be made payable to “Raising Stars Foundation” or by donating through the website www.raisingstarsfoundation.org.

there’s going to be a natural tendency to step on each other,” he said.

Linnington said he sees promise in partnering more extensively with private groups like History Flight, a Florida-based group that has worked with the Pentagon in discovering and recovering war remains abroad, including dozens of Marines killed in the World War II battle of Tarawa in the Pacific.

“There are lots of folks out there that want to help us,” he said.

Linnington said he has a thick skin. If the history of his agency is any guide, he’ll need it. In addition to periods of internal conflict, the POW-MIA agency has faced heavy criticism from veterans’ organizations and MIA family advocacy groups.

“I don’t mind criticism,” he said. “I applaud criticism.”

The POW-MIA accounting effort, while far more aggressive and extensive than similar undertakings by any other country, has suffered from many problems over many decades.

Last July, the AP disclosed an internal Pentagon report that said the organization responsible for finding and recovering remains on foreign battlefields and identifying them at a Hawaii-based government laboratory was wasteful, acutely dysfunctional and often mismanaged.

No more ‘roar’ as trading pits come to an end

By BERNARD CONDON and DON BABWIN Associated Press

NEW YORK — Pete Meegan had every intention of going back to college, but then he got a summer job in the Chicago trading pits and fell in love with the “roar” of the floor, the excitement of “4,000 people yelling, ‘Buy! Buy! Buy!’” and decided no more classroom for him.

That roar will soon go silent. Most futures pits in Chicago and New York, where frenzied buying and selling once helped set prices on cattle and corn, palladium and gold, and dozens of other commodities, are expected to close today for good. Traders yelled and shoved and flashed hand signals, just as they did in the movie “Trading Places.” But now the computer — faster, cheaper and not nearly as noisy — has taken over.

It will be a sad day for Meegan, still in the pits 34 years after dropping out of college, donning a trading jacket and mustering the courage to tell his dad.

“I thought he was gonna kill me, but he was like, ‘I don’t care if you pick up garbage or you’re a dog groomer. If you are happy doing what you are doing, you’re ahead of 99 percent of the people in the world,’” recalls Meegan, now 54.

The few dozen jobs that will be lost when the pits shut down is just part of it, veterans say. What’s also disappearing is a rich culture of brazen bets, flashy trading jackets and kids just out of high school getting a shot at making it big. The pits were a ruthless place, but they were also a proving ground where education and connections counted for nothing next to

drive and, occasionally, muscle.

“If people came to your spot, you shoved them out of it. ‘This is my two-foot space ... so get out of it,’” says Dan Sullivan, a broker who’s been working in the pits since 1981. The competition, he adds, also bred camaraderie.

“These guys knew me better than my wife.”

Dan Grant, 53, traces his love affair with the pits to a $150-a-week job as a “runner” ferrying messages between clerks taking phone orders from customers and brokers executing them.

Six years into his career, on Oct. 19, 1987, stocks were plunging around the world and he was a clerk taking orders from the head traders at Chemical Bank and Drexel Burnham Lambert desperate to buy anything to protect themselves. Grant still marvels that, just 24 years old and with no college degree, he wielded such power in the crash, later known as Black Monday.

“They were buying Treasurys and currencies, and watching their stock portfolios go to zero,” he recalls. “It was a lot of fun.”

The pits that are closing deal in futures, or contracts to buy or sell something at a later date at a set price.

They’re used by farmers to lock in prices for their crops before harvest, for instance, and investors as a way to bet that prices will go up or down.

Not all futures pits are going away. In its February announcement about the closings, the owner of the exchanges said the pits where Standard and Poor’s 500 stock futures and options on futures are traded will remain open. Floor trading of stocks on the New York Stock

“IF PEOPLE came to your spot, you shoved them out of it. ‘This is my two-foot space ... so get out of it.’””

Dan Sullivan, broker

Exchange, which is owned by a different company, won’t end, either.

But the few remaining pits are a small, perhaps fleeting, victory for the dwindling number of traders who still use hand signals to buy and sell.

Where once futures on everything from pork bellies and wheat to Treasurys and Eurodollars were only traded in this “open outcry” system, now just 1 percent are. Where once thousands of futures traders stood shoulder to shoulder, now just a few dozen show up on a typical day.

“There were five (people) in the wheat pit today,” laments broker Virginia McGathey after the closing bell in Chicago last Wednesday.

“Back in the day, there were 400.”

Scott Shellady, a broker standing nearby, worries that fewer humans could mean more violent swings in food prices. He fears turbulence could be triggered by an unusually large offer from a stranger in India or another far off place to buy or sell a futures contract.

“That pit, with 500 guys, you can’t have a flash crash because ... there are 499 people that know he doesn’t normally trade that big,” says Shellady, who wears a blackand-white cow print jacket, a reminder of a time when brokers needed to stand out on the floor.

Since at least 1870, when the first octagonal pits were

installed in Chicago, traders have been reading the “tone” of the crowd to sense where prices might be heading and feeling the “rush” when placing a big bet.

After more than 40 years of trading, George Gero knows all about the feel and thrill of the pits. But he is also familiar with wrenching change, and learning to adapt to it.

After fleeing from the Nazi’s in wartime Hungary, he came to New York, and found a home in the commodities pits downtown.

And at 79, he’s still at it, marveling at how the computer allows him to find prices for gold and currencies around the world, no matter the time of day.

But Gero, a strategist at RBC Capital Markets, is not a complete fan of the new way.

“It’s very cold ... strictly numbers,” he says.

Grant, the runner turned clerk who now oversees his own trading firm, says he has embraced change, too.

But he mourns the loss of the kind of entry-level positions that gave kids without much education a chance to prove themselves, just as he did.

“The customer doesn’t have to call anyone to execute a trade,” he says.

Sullivan, the broker, puts it bleakly.

“It’s kind of a slow death for people,” he says. “Maybe I am holding on to something that needs to go.”

Owner of ‘Tetris’ rights takes home, ranch off grid

By CALEB JONES Associated Press

HONOLULU — High above the bustling city of Honolulu, in a quiet, exclusive hillside neighborhood where some of the island’s wealthiest residents live, there is an extravagant home that’s not quite like the others.

The 6,000-square-foot house has a view overlooking Diamond Head, Waikiki and the Pacific Ocean, and two Tesla cars in the driveway. It’s not the two electric cars that set the property apart from its swanky neighbors.

The difference is that this solar-powered home is completely energy independent.

Homeowner Henk Rogers, 61, hopes the technology he is using in his home can help make other homes across Hawaii — and the world — energy independent as well.

Rogers is famous for discovering the video game “Tetris” more than 20 years ago. He now manages the worldwide rights for the game along with his business partner, Alexey Pajitnov, who wrote the program.

“If you’re going to clean up the world, first of all you have to clean your own room,” Rogers said, referring to Hawaii, which has some of the highest energy costs in the nation.

Rogers will announce his new company, Blue Planet Energy Systems, on Monday.

The new venture, which will sell and install battery systems for homes and businesses running on solar technology, plans to begin sales on Aug. 1. He declined to say how much the systems would cost, but said there will be a five- to seven-year return on the investment for a typical project that his company will install.

The Blue Ion system, which Rogers has been testing in his home for the last year, uses Sony lithium iron phosphate batteries, which can last for 20 years and do not require cooling, he says.

Partnering with Sony, Rogers believes the batteries can be a solution to the longstanding problem of storing the sun’s energy and helping lower energy costs in Hawaii.

Sony has been developing

HENK ROGERS, who manages the worldwide rights to the video game Tetris, recently opened his solar-powered battery unit that he uses to stay off the electrical grid in Honolulu. lithium ion batteries since 1991, and the units being used in Rogers’ home are top of the line.

The batteries store energy from solar panels, allowing people to use it at night without having to rely on expensive energy from the grid.

Rogers’ company will sell and install the battery systems for commercial and residential use, supplying every-

Captured convict now faces 23 hours a day in prison cell ROMULUS, N.Y. (AP) — The surviving escapee from a prison break and three-week manhunt will spend 23 hours a day in a maximum-security cell, much more confined than he and a fellow murder convict were in the prison from which they managed a getaway, officials said Sunday.

David Sweat, who was shot and wounded during his June 28 capture, was taken early Sunday from Albany Medical Center to the infirmary at the Five Points Correctional Facility in the central New York town of Romulus, the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision reported in a news release.

After at least 24 hours in the infirmary for a medical evaluation, he will be among the up to 150 men held in its Special Housing Unit, where each prisoner sleeps, eats, washes and spends nearly all his time in a 105-square-foot cell with a bed, a writing platform, a toilet, a sink and a shower.

The inmates generally are allowed out of their cells to exercise for an hour a day.

Sweat, 35, will be put on suicide watch, the corrections department noted.

Set about 200 miles west of Albany amid New York’s Finger Lakes, the 1,300-inmate prison opened in 2000.

It housed convicted murderer Timothy Vail for a time after he and another inmate scaled down a homemade rope to escape from Elmira Correctional Facility in 2003.

Five Points Correctional is 155 years newer than Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, from which Sweat and fellow inmate Richard Matt escaped June 6.

Authorities said Matt and Sweat cut through their adjoining cell walls over months, climbed down catwalks to tunnels, got hold of contractors’ tools, broke through a brick wall, cut into and out of a steam pipe and cut a chain holding a manhole cover outside the prison

Sweat were able to spend considerable time out of their cells.

They got a guard to give them art supplies, tools and access to a catwalk in exchange for favors and paintings, and they shared their escape plans with a tailorshop instructor who gave them hacksaw blades and even agreed to be their getaway driver before she backed out, prosecutors said.

The guard and instructor have pleaded not guilty to various charges.

The prison’s then-superintendent and 11 other staffers were put on leave after the escape. The honor block has been temporarily closed, and new security measures are being enacted.

Matt was shot dead when a U.S. border patrol team caught up with him June 26 in woods near Malone, about 30 miles from Clinton Correctional and near the Canadian border. Sweat was captured a few miles away, in Constable, two days later.

DAVID SWEAT ... escaped prison to get away.

Sweat is serving a life sentence for killing a sheriff’s deputy; Matt, 49, was serving 25 years to life after being convicted of kidnapping and dismembering his former boss. Clinton Correctional is maximum-security, but as residents of the prison’s “honor” block and workers in its tailor shop, Matt and

thing from the housing to the software to monitor and maintain the systems.

Robert Harris, a spokesman for the Alliance for Solar Choice, an advocacy group, said consumers haven’t had much call to invest in battery storage systems because of the cost and incentive programs that encourage people to stay linked to the grid.

Harris, who is also the director of public policy at Sunrun, a solar equipment supplier in Honolulu, said homeowners with solar panels typically put energy into the grid and take it back as needed, something called net metering.

“A lot of energy can be put into the grid right now, so it hasn’t been a big incentive necessarily for a homeowner to invest in storage,” Harris said.

That could change in the next few months with several new systems besides Rogers’ expected to hit the market.

“These products will be capable of storing and putting out energy on a daily basis at a fairly reasonable price point,” Harris said.

Rogers, who also owns a ranch on Hawaii’s Big Island that is energy independent, said he had an epiphany after suffering a heart attack and near-death experience in 2006.

While recovering, he decided he would take advantage of the second chance. Rogers read about the possibility of losing all the coral reefs in

the world because of ocean acidification, which has been linked to climate change and rising carbon in oceans.

“We’re going to end the use of carbon-based fuel, and that is my mission No. 1,” he said.

Rogers is the founder and chairman of the Blue Planet Foundation, an organization that promotes clean energy alternatives and lobbies politicians to change policy.

Recently, the foundation created a book of children’s drawings and letters pleading for state lawmakers to mandate Hawaii becoming energy independent. He made sure the books were valued at under $25, the maximum amount a lawmaker can receive as a gift, and delivered a copy to every lawmaker in Hawaii.

“This has got to be a message from the children because it’s the children’s world we are trying to save,” Rogers said.

Hawaii Gov. David Ige announced earlier this year that the state of Hawaii would become completely energy independent by 2045.

Atrocities should galvanize Obama IN THE MARSHLAND OF SOUTH SUDAN — Barefoot and shell-shocked, the survivors trickle into a village here with unimaginable stories of rape, castration and mass murder committed by a government that the United States helped install.

This civil war here in South Sudan will be a top item on President Barack Obama’s agenda during his visit to Africa this month, and I wish he could talk to these survivors.

Gatkuoth Kueah Yak tells me he watched from a distance as South Sudan government soldiers tied up his 15 children and put them in a grass hut. And then, he says, he watched as the soldiers torched the hut and burned his family alive.

Gatwech Them Manuar says he saw three young boys, aged 3 to 7, who had been castrated by government soldiers and left to bleed to death. He says he also saw two infants who were killed by soldiers bludgeoning them against a tree.

Nyakong Riek tells me that when government soldiers attacked her village, she ran with her 2-year-old son. “I was trying to pull him along,” she said. “But bullets were flying, and I couldn’t pull him fast enough. So I left him.” Dazed and sleepless, she says wistfully that she just hopes that the boy died quickly.

These survivors are of Nuer ethnicity, and they say the South Sudan army — disproportionately composed of the rival Dinka tribe — targeted them for that reason. Indeed, they say some Dinka solNicholas Kristof diers mockingly cut the faces of Nuer writes a column women they raped to replicate the kind for The New York of decorative scarring used by Nuer men.

Times.

I interviewed survivors on a grassy island, surrounded by rivers and marshland, where they have taken refuge (I reached the area by helicopter with a team from the U.N. World Food Program). The predations the Nuer describe happened in May in Unity State, and they say thousands of other survivors are stuck in the marshes, preyed upon by crocodiles, still trying to reach safety.

I shared the world’s exhilaration in 2011 as South Sudan celebrated independence from Sudan and became the world’s newest nation. But now it’s difficult not to feel despair.

South Sudan is rived by civil war and collapsing economically; it may be on a trajectory to a failed state with far-reaching consequences for the region. The country suffers worsening famine and mind-boggling corruption. It is led by a president, Salva Kiir, whom President George W. Bush and Obama both tried to nurture. I’ve known Kiir for a decade and he surely faced huge challenges — but he and other leaders have failed his country.

South Sudan’s civil war erupted 18 months ago between Kiir’s army and the forces of the vice president, Riek Machar.

Sudan has armed Machar, and all factions in the war have behaved brutally. The recent slaughter by government soldiers may be a response to horrific massacres by Machar’s forces a year ago.

The accounts of the displaced people I interviewed are supported by a new U.N. report describing a “new brutality and intensity” to attacks in the area, citing nine separate instances in which government forces raped women or girls and then burned them alive in huts.

A different U.N. assessment used satellite imagery to count some 250 structures burned in a single village, Ngop. The International Committee of the Red Cross has said that its compound in Leer was looted and that 100,000 fled that county alone.

“The violence against children in South Sudan has reached a new level of brutality,” warned Anthony Lake, executive director of UNICEF, alluding to the army’s assault. “Survivors report that boys have been castrated and left to bleed to death. … Girls as young as 8 have been gang raped and murdered. …

Children have been tied together before their attackers slit their throats.”

On his Africa trip, Obama should work closely with Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia to impose targeted sanctions on the families of recalcitrant leaders in all factions, so they pay a price until there is peace. The United States has donated $1.1 billion in aid to South Sudan since the civil war began, but what is most needed isn’t money but tough, hands-on diplomacy to pressure all sides. Ethiopia has been trying to hammer out a peace, and it deserves more Western backing.

This is urgent, because the cycle of violence makes it ever more difficult to put South Sudan together again.

“I hate the Dinka now,” says Nyaluak Ngeach Tuak, whose 8year-old son is missing and presumed dead.

Another woman, Nyabuol Rik Puol, says she wants counterattacks as vengeance against the soldiers who tried to rape her 11-year-old daughter and then killed her sister when she protested.

“What happened to us,” she told me venomously, “should happen to the Dinka, too.”

Is religious liberty now in peril?

T

he U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges may have established same-sex marriage as a constitutional right, but it opened a whole host of controversies. Among the most contentious: Can same-sex marriage and religious liberty coexist?

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the court, offered some assurance that religious freedom is safe and churches are free to continue advocating and teaching their beliefs. But Chief Justice John Roberts in his dissenting opinion pointed out that the First Amendment guarantees free exercise of religion, not simply advocacy.

Will churches be forced to perform weddings that run counter to their doctrines? Could the federal government go after religious organizations’ tax-exempt status if they refuse to comply? Ben Boychuk and Joel Mathis, the Red-Blue America columnists, weigh in.

JOEL MATHIS No, folks, the gay sky is not falling.

Yes, civil marriage equality was just sanctioned by the Supreme Court — but for reasons that had zilch to do with the First Amendment. (Your religious freedom generally is never affected in any way by my marriage.) And here’s the thing: When the First Amendment does come into play, it almost always wins before the court.

Consider this: The exact same court that just approved gay marriage also, not long ago, decided in the Hobby Lobby case that the First Amendment religious rights of business owners were sacrosanct enough that they could refuse to purchase insurance plans for their employees that include contraceptive coverage. It’s the exact same court that not long before that protected Fred Phelps’ right to conduct ugly homophobic protests at the funerals of dead soldiers — again, because of the First Amendment’s protections on freedom of expression just couldn’t be curtailed.

That’s the court that’s going to force priests to ignore their own theology and conduct marriage ceremonies for gay people? Uh, no.

Even if the court took leave of its senses, though, getting to that point would also require that Congress — or a majority of legislators in some state

— suddenly decided they were hostile to their religious constituents. That’s what it would take to pass such a law.

Even in a nation increasingly supportive of gay marriage, that’s not going to happen. Period.

Are the tax exemptions of churches and church colleges in danger? Possibly. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli said as much during oral arguments in April. Then again: Politicians would have to disregard their religious constituents to do so. So: Unlikely.

Listen: These scenarios are almost entirely fiction, so close are they to political and legal impossibility. They’re invented by people who don’t have a reason to be plausibly victimized by gay marriage, and so they dream up nightmare scenarios in order to claim martyrdom in the matter.

Let the would-be martyrs have their nightmare fantasies. Reality — that gay marriage is here, and here to stay — is rightly, joyously celebrated by the rest of us.

BEN BOYCHUK Blithe assurances from Justice Kennedy and Joel Mathis notwithstanding, the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision will almost certainly lead to conflicts between the First and 14th Amendments of the Constitution. The survival of religious liberty in the United States is far from certain.

How could that be? Yes, the First Amendment’s language is fairly unambiguous: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” But the Supreme Court’s First Amendment jurisprudence often is not.

It’s amazing how quickly first principles can be eviscerated as soon as the lawyers get involved.

For every high-profile case such as last year’s Hobby Lobby decision — which drove many of the same people celebrating the Obergefell outcome completely bananas — there is a case like Martinez v. Christian Legal Foundation, a 2010 decision in which the court held 5-4 that taxpayer-funded colleges and universities could deny religious groups use of school facilities because of their opposition to samesex marriage.

And let’s not forget the court’s 1983 decision in Bob Jones University v.

United States. The court said it couldn’t outlaw a church’s practices — free exercise and all that. But stripping its taxexempt status? No problem, as long as the church runs afoul of “fundamental national policy,” such as racial equality.

How long until this court extends the logic of Bob Jones to same-sex marriage?

Joel says in an aside, “Your religious freedom generally is never affected in any way by my marriage.” That’s true — because Joel is married to a great woman. No mainstream religious institution in the United States would have thought twice about wedding them.

Now, churches will be forced to decide between doctrine and civil law.

Given precedent and current trends, it isn’t far-fetched to imagine future court decisions that limit “free exercise” of religion to the inside of a church, synagogue or mosque.

Or maybe not! It wouldn’t require much to erode the foundations of the First Amendment. A few lawsuits targeting small churches that lack the wherewithal to fight a protracted legal battle would be enough to get the ball rolling. Don’t be surprised if in a few years we’re left with religious liberty in name only.

matter, but one of the single biggest domestic issues facing the federal government.

If politicians can’t get this right, there is little reason to trust them more than minimally on much else, and that goes for Republicans as well as this Democratic presidential candidate. So let’s move on to Mike Huckabee.

THIS REPUBLICAN candidate for president, who is reported once to have argued that Medicare without adjustments would last no longer than a decade, now says fixing either it or Social Security would break trust with the people.

He has no use at all for the proposal of another Republican candidate, Chris Christie, to salvage Social Security in part by reducing or denying benefits to some future high-income retirees.

Two other Republican candidates, Jeb Bush and Mark Rubio, emphasize raising retirement ages as a solution.

In response to a query from Talking Points Memo website, expected GOP candidate, Scott Walker, alertly said: “For far too long, Washington has kicked the can down the road on entitlement programs. Absent significant reforms, these programs will go bankrupt and the people

who have paid into them will be left out in the cold.

We need a leader who will implement true reforms to save and protect these programs for future generations.”

We do have some Republican leaders in the House.

Right now, the clumsily functioning, quickly growing Social Security disability program is running out of money and some want to save it by taking funds from the retirement program.

That would do nothing to correct the faults in the disability portion, and intelligently enough, Republicans want to reshape its most questionable parts.

IN THE SENATE, instead of leaders, we have Elizabeth Warren, Democrat from Massachusetts, and Bernie Sanders, self-described democratic socialist from Vermont who is running for president.

They want to increase Social Security benefits that are already being regularly increased to the detriment of young workers who will face flattening costs even with some tax hikes today.

Thanks so much, you two, although we’d be better off if you would study up on the issue and put facts before ideology. speaktojay@aol.com

U.S.-led coalition strikes Raqqa BEIRUT (AP) — U.S.-led coalition aircraft unleashed a wave of airstrikes targeting the Islamic State group’s stronghold of Raqqa in eastern Syria in what the coalition said Sunday was one of its most sustained aerial operations carried out in Syria to date.

IS said at least 10 people were killed and many others wounded in the attacks, which activists said triggered successive explosions that shook the city and created panic among residents.

The U.S.-led coalition often targets IS-held towns and cities in Syria, but the overnight strikes on Raqqa were rare in their intensity.

In a statement, the coalition said it carried out 18 airstrikes throughout Raqqa province, destroying a number of IS vehicles and 16 bridges.

Boy, 7, killed in Chicago violence CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities say a 7-year-old boy who was celebrating the Fourth of July with his family was among three people who were shot and killed in Chicago.

Police said the child, Amari Brown, was shot after someone opened fire just before midnight Saturday in the Humboldt Park neighborhood. He was pronounced dead early Sunday at Stroger Hospital.

Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Sunday at a news conference that the boy’s father, a “ranking gang member,” had been the intended target. No one was in custody Sunday.

Additionally, a 26-year-old man was fatally shot in the Albany Park neighborhood and a 26-year-old man was gunned down in the South Shore neighborhood.

Police also said two men, ages 25 and 31, were killed after dawn Sunday when somebody fired on their SUV, which sped away and crashed.

The deck was likely up to code when the house was built in 1986, but the nearly 30-year-old nails simply fell apart under the weight of the people standing on a small part of the deck Saturday night, Emerald Isle Town Manager Frank Rush said in a news release Sunday.

The pilings of the deck remained in place, and twothirds of the structure did not fall, he said.

Twenty-four people were injured when they fell about 10 feet to the ground, authorities said. The ages of those injured ranged from 5 to 94, and five of them remain in the hospital with two still in critical condition, Rush said.

By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

QUITO, Ecuador — Pope Francis traveled to the Ecuadorean port of Guayaquil today for a Mass expected to draw more than a million people, as Latin America’s first pontiff tours his home continent with a message of compassion for the weak and respect for an ailing planet.

Francis is taking it relatively easy on his first full day in Ecuador, making the quick flight to Guayaquil for the Mass at the Shrine of the Divine Mercy and then a lunch with a group of fellow Jesuits.

The highlight of the encounter will likely be his reunion with the Rev. Francisco Cortes, a Jesuit affectionately known as “Padre Paquito,” to whom the Argentina-born pope, then the Rev. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, entrusted his seminarians on study trips to Ecuador years ago.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Cortes couldn’t fathom that Bergoglio remembered him, much less made a point of coming to have lunch.

“I don’t know what to ask him,” the soon-to-be 91-year-old Cortes said.

“He said he wanted to see me and I’m amazed that he’s coming. For the first time, I have known a pope.”

The “pope of the poor” returned to Spanish-speaking South America for the first time as pontiff Sunday, stressing the need to protect the needy and the environment from exploitation and — in a nation whose president was booed as his vehicle followed the papal motorcade Sunday — to foster dialogue among all sectors of society.

Francis’ only other trip back to his home ground after being elected pope was in 2013, when he visited Brazil, where Portuguese is

the main language.

Children in native dress greeted Francis at Mariscal Sucre airport outside Ecuador’s capital, the wind blowing off his skullcap and whipping his white cassock as he descended from the plane following a 13-hour flight from Rome.

In a speech in front of President Rafael Correa, Francis signaled some key themes for the visit, which also takes him to Bolivia and Paraguay: the need to care for society’s most marginal, guarantee socially responsible development and defend the Earth against profit-at-all-cost development that he says harms the poor the most.

“From the peak of Chimborazo to the Pacific coast, from the Amazon rainforest to the Galapagos Islands, may you never lose the ability to thank God for what he has done and is doing for you,” he said from the tarmac. “May you never lose the ability to protect what is small and simple, to care for your children and your elderly who are the memory of your people, to have confidence in the young and to be constantly struck by the nobility of your people and the singular beauty of your country.”

It’s a message that is particularly relevant for Ecuador, a Pacific nation of 15 million people that is home to one of the world’s most species-diverse ecosystems but is also an OPEC country heavily dependent on oil. High crude prices allowed Correa to get take 1.3 million people out of poverty in his eight years in office.

But now that oil prices have fallen, the generous social safety net Correa has woven is threatened. He’s had to cut government spending and been buffeted for nearly a month by the most serious anti-government street protests of his tenure.

Along Francis’ motorcade route into Quito, the throngs followed chants of adulation for the pontiff with jeers of “Correa out!” when the president’s entourage followed.

Correa has also angered environmentalists and the nation’s main indigenous group, CONAIE, by moving forward with oil drilling and mining projects in pristine Amazon forests.

CONAIE was not participating in papal visit-related events, though it was sending a 30-person delegation to one gathering, said former President Humberto Cholango. He indicated the Vatican said the pope’s schedule was too tight.

Standing by Correa’s side at the airport, Francis pledged that the Catholic Church’s readiness to encourage respect for people’s differences and foster “dialogue and full participation” to a better future can be ensured for all, particularly “the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters.”

Correa, who spoke before Francis, echoed the pope’s concerns about the “perverse” global economic system, accusing the world’s rich countries of unfairly exploiting the developing world’s resources without reciprocating with technology transfers.

Francis, straying from his prepared remarks, thanked Correa for his “consonance of thought.”

“You’ve cited me too much,” he said.

The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said Francis wasn’t worried about the protests against Correa. He estimated that 500,000 people lined the route that took Francis to the Vatican ambassador’s residence. Many in the crowd said they hoped the pope would have a calming effect on the country’s tense political situation.

Bombings kill dozens in Nigeria

By AHMED MOHAMMED Associated Press

JOS, Nigeria — Two bombs blamed on the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram exploded at a crowded mosque and an elite Muslim restaurant in Nigeria’s central city of Jos, killing 44 people, officials said today.

The blasts on Sunday night came hours after a woman suicide bomber blew up at a crowded evangelical Christian church service in the northeastern city of Potiskum, killing at least five people, according to witnesses.

Also Sunday, extremists returned to northeastern villages attacked three days earlier, killing nine villagers and burning down 32 churches and about 300 homes, said Stephen Apagu, chairman of a self-

defense group in Borno state’s Askira-Uba local government area.

He said the militia killed three militants.

Sunday’s attacks are the latest in a string blamed on Boko Haram that have now killed more than 250 people over a week. They may correspond to an Islamic State group order for more mayhem during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Boko Haram became the Islamic State group’s West Africa franchise earlier this year.

In Jos, 44 people died and 67 were wounded, said National Emergency Management Agency coordinator Abdussalam Mohammed. Police confirmed the explosions but said a final toll must wait as they are still excavating rubble.

The explosion at the Yantaya Mosque came as leading cleric Sani

Yahaya of the Jama’atu Izalatul Bidia organization, which preaches peaceful coexistence of all religions, was addressing a crowd, according to survivors.

Danladi Sani said a man robed in white opened fire, apparently targeting Yahaya, and then blew himself up. Yahaya was unharmed, he said.

“He is a great Islamic scholar who has spoken out against Boko Haram, and that is why we believe he was the target,” Sani told The Associated Press.

Another bomb exploded at Shagalinku, a restaurant patronized by state governors and other elite politicians seeking specialties from Nigeria’s mainly Muslim north, witnesses said.

Associated Press writer Haruna Umar in Maiduguri, Nigeria, contributed to this report.

Two dead, 3 missing after boat capsizes LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Two people were killed and three remained missing after the pontoon boat they were riding in hit a barge and capsized in the Ohio River, Kentucky authorities said Sunday.

Louisville Fire Chief Greg Frederick said nine people were aboard the boat and that four were rescued after the accident shortly before 10 p.m.

Saturday.

He said three of those rescued were children and that they were wearing life jackets.

Frederick said the fatalities include one adult and one child. He said a child is among the missing. It’s unclear if they were wearing life jackets.

No identifications have been released.

Frederick said Sunday evening that the search would continue in the morning but that the Louisville Police Department is now in command as the search turns from a rescue to a recovery effort.

Frederick said the barge was in a

construction site about a mile upstream from the Clark Memorial Bridge.

He said authorities planned to search for survivors until Sunday night, and that the Civil Air Patrol was helping in the search.

Frederick said the current of the river was too strong to use divers, and that it contained a lot of debris.

“There are entire trees ... floating down at a rapid rate of speed,” he said. “We just don’t think it’s safe to put divers in.”

VIENNA — Nine days into marathon nuclear talks, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday said the diplomatic efforts “could go either way,” cutting off all potential pathways for an Iranian atomic bomb or ending without an agreement that American officials have sometimes described as the only alternative to war.

The EU’s top foreign policy official, Federica Mogherini, said an agreement was “very close.” But Kerry said there was still a ways to go.

“We are not yet where we need to be on several of the most critical issues,” Kerry told reporters outside the 19thcentury Viennese palace that has hosted the negotiations.

World powers and Iran are hoping to clinch a deal by Tuesday, setting a decade of restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program and granting Iran significant relief from international sanctions. Kerry met for 3½ hours on Sunday with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, as top diplomats from the five other negotiating countries planned to return to Austria’s capital later in the evening.

“It is now time to see whether or not we are able to close an agreement,” Kerry said, after hobbling on crutches through 97-degree heat to a podium set up in a city square.

While “genuine progress” had been made and the sides “have never been closer, at this point, this negotiation could go either way. If the hard choices get made in the next couple of days, and made quickly, we could get an agreement this week,” Kerry said.

“But if they are not made, we will not.”

The talks had appeared to be moving forward. On Saturday, diplomats reported tentative agreement on the speed and scope of sanctions relief for Iran in the accord, even as issues such as inspection guide- JOHN KERRY lines and limits on Iran’s nuclear research and development remained contentious.

German Foreign Minister FrankWalter Steinmeier spoke of “sharper” deal contours.

“But that shouldn’t deceive us,” he said. “There’s still a possibility that there will be a lack of courage and readiness in crucial points to build the bridges that we need to find to each other.”

Mogherini, formally the convener of the talks between Iran and six world powers, told reporters that as of Monday, foreign ministers and other top diplomats “are here to check and assess if the deal can be closed.”

Tuesday’s deadline is the latest that has been set for a comprehensive pact that would replace the interim deal world powers and Iran reached in November 2013. That package was extended three times, most recently on June 30, and Kerry appeared to be partly addressing critics of the diplomacy in the United States who’ve argued that President Barack Obama’s administration has been too conciliatory over the course of the negotiations.

Obama and U.S. officials say that is untrue. But they’ve also fiercely defended their overtures to Tehran and their willingness to allow the Iranians to maintain significant nuclear infrastructure, on the argument that a diplomatic agreement is preferable to military conflict.

Speaking at the same time as Sunday news shows aired in the U.S., Kerry said that “if we don’t have a deal, if there’s absolute intransigence with the things that are important, President Obama has always said we would walk away.”

“It’s not what anybody wants. We want to get an agreement,” he said.

“What I have said from the moment I became involved in this: We want a good agreement, only a good agreement and we are not going to shave anywhere at the margins in order just to get an agreement. This is something that the world will analyze, experts everywhere will look at. There are plenty of people in the nonproliferation community, nuclear experts who will look at this and none of us are going to be content to do something that can’t pass scrutiny.”

Appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said he had spoken to Kerry Saturday and voiced his concerns about rushing too quickly toward a settlement.

“Well, obviously they're very anxious,” the Tennessee Republican said of Obama administration officials. “I mean, I think they look at this as a legacy issue.”

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE I got the biggest shock of my life the day I realized that living on a budget wasn’t the straitjacket or rigid “diet” I assumed it would be. In fact, it was my life as a credit-card junkie that put me in financial bondage.

A budget saved my life because it allowed me to get out of debt. It gave me back my freedom.

Want to know my Email secret for questions or staying on tips to a budget mary@every for so daycheap many skate.com or years? I Everyday splurge.

Cheapskate, Seriously.

12340 Seal And I do Beach Blvd., not feel Suite B-416, guilty. I Seal Beach, CA love nice 90740. things and I love to travel.

Even while I was getting out of debt, I didn’t banish all of these things from my life. In fact, my occasional guilt-free splurges are what helped me stay on a budget. Since I didn’t feel deprived, I found it a lot easier to stick to my plan.

Calculated splurging is not difficult. In fact, I think you’ll find it makes a lot of sense. And the bigger payoff is the financial maturity that comes with delayed gratification. Planning and waiting really does make you more appreciative.

MAKE A LIST: This is the fun part. Think about your splurges of choice. A haircut and color at a great salon? A luxe lipstick? A big-ticket item like a new laptop? Write down all the things you want. Get specific, but don’t worry if you can’t think of everything right now. You’ll be changing this list often in the future. The point is that slowly, one at a time, you can find a way to work these splurges into your budget.

OPEN AN ACCOUNT: Whether it’s a savings account at a bank or credit union, or an online savings account, you need a place to save for your splurges.

Make it a place that you won’t be tempted to dip into but is still convenient enough for you to make deposits.

REVIEW YOUR HABITS: Sure, you’ve always used that pricey salon shampoo, but it’s important to ask yourself whether that’s a meaningful splurge or just an old habit. Check the drugstore: you’ll find great brands for a lot less money.

Same goes for the grocery store. Do you need a specific brand of canned veggies, flour or cereal? Probably not, so go for the cheapest. Here’s a good rule of thumb: Say no to say yes. In other words, cut back where it doesn’t matter so you can buy the things that do.

FIND THE CASH: Start thinking of ways to bring in a little extra spending money to fund your account. Perhaps you can sell some things online. Determine to spend $10 less at the supermarket this week, and put that money into your account. Next week, make it $15. Take your coupon savings in cash.

When you get a raise, put some of it into the account.

Even a dollar or two here and there will add up quickly if you’re consistent.

LOOK FOR DEALS: Buy on sale (your everyday stuff as well as your splurges) whenever you can. I am a big fan of Bath & Body Works’ line of body butter, which is a splurge for me.

And I don’t deny myself. I wait until one of the store’s big sales (they happen several times a year), which makes the splurge that much sweeter.

RETHINK EATING OUT: You don’t have to banish eating out from your life because you’re on a budget. Just shift your thinking: A meal out shouldn’t be something you grab on the run; it should be something special that requires planning.

Keep an envelope with restaurant coupons in your bag. Dine where the kids eat free on a specific night.

Ghosting: The ultimate silent treatment

By VALERIYA SAFRONOVA

New York Times News Service

It was not long ago that Sean Penn and Charlize Theron were a happy couple: appearing together at fashion shows and film festivals, hugging on the beach. Recently, though, it was reported that Theron had stopped responding to Penn’s calls and text messages. She was “ghosting” him.

WHAT’S GHOSTING? Ghost, a word more commonly associated with Casper, the boy who saw dead people and a 1990 movie starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, has also come to be used as a verb that refers to ending a romantic relationship by cutting off all contact and ignoring the former partner’s attempts to reach out.

WHO’S DOING IT? The term has already entered the polling lexicon: In October 2014, a YouGov/Huffington Post poll of 1,000 adults showed that 11 percent of Americans had “ghosted” someone.

A more informal survey from Elle magazine that polled 185 people found that about 16.7 percent of men and 24.2 percent of women had been ghosts at some point in their lives.

VICTIMS OF GHOSTING SPEAK Justine Bylo, 26, an independent account manager in publishing, has felt what this is like firsthand. She once invited a man she had been dating casually for about eight months to a wedding. As the day approached, he stopped responding to Bylo’s text messages, and she ended up attending the wedding alone. A few weeks ago, she found out that he had been

dating another woman at the time.

“It happens to me so often that I’ve come to expect it,” Bylo said. “People don’t hold themselves accountable anymore because they can hide behind their phones.”

Elena Scotti, 27, a senior photo editor and illustrator at Fusion, the media company, has also been a victim of ghosting. She once flew to Chicago to attend Lollapalooza and spend time with a man she had fallen for while studying abroad. “We were inseparable,” Scotti said. “I was talking to him every day and sleeping in the same bed with him for six months.”

After the one date in Chicago: crickets. “He fell off the face of the planet,” said Scotti, who didn’t see him again until he moved into her building in Brooklyn with his girlfriend three years later.

The silent treatment continued, Scotti’s former flame ignoring her even as they passed each other in the hallway.

In a less dramatic but similarly confounding fashion, Aaron Leth, 29, a fashion editor, found his texts unanswered when a man he had been dating for a month disappeared after he and Leth had bought the ingredients for a dinner they planned to cook later that evening. “He went home to take a nap and said, ‘I’ll call you,’” Leth said. “I’m still waiting, two years later.”

the Way I Am,” a collection of essays, had been dating a man for three months when she told him her grandmother died and froze him out of her life. Her grandmother had died — months earlier. “He came to my house one night banging on my door, and I pretended I wasn’t there,” Mollen said.

“I didn’t know how else to extricate from relationships. It was me being young and not knowing how to disappoint.” She theorized that people who fade away do so out of a desperate need to be loved, even after a breakup.

“If you disappear completely, you never have to deal with knowing someone is mad at you and being the bad guy,” she said.

Joe Stahl, 25, a shopper for Instacart, a grocery-delivery service, had been with his former boyfriend for nearly a year when a painful argument erupted between them. “I knew that there were things that I couldn’t fix about myself that were making him angry,” Stahl said. “I felt like I was powerless and ashamed that I couldn’t be this person I wanted to be for him, which is why I deserted.”

Stahl had already been contemplating a move from New York City to Boston, and the fight spurred him to finally leave. He cut off contact, blocking his former boyfriend on his phone and unfollowing him on social media.

LET THE GHOSTS EXPLAIN THEMSELVES

THE UNAVOIDABLE QUESTION

Many of those who have ghosted are contrite, citing their own fear, insecurity and immaturity. Jenny Mollen, 36, an actress, avid Twitter user and the author of “I Like You Just

Has technology made all this worse?

Whether this behavior has become more predominant with the advent of technology is debatable, but perhaps now it stings more, since there

are so many ways to see your beloved interacting with other people while ignoring you. The rise of apps like Tinder and Grindr, and the impression they give that there is always someone else — literally — around the corner, is certainly empowering to ghosts.

Anna Sale, 34, host and managing editor of the WNYC podcast “Death, Sex & Money,” believes that social media enables the avoidance of difficult conversations. “As people have gotten less and less comfortable talking face to face about hard things, it’s become easier to move on, let time pass and forget to tell the person you’re breaking up with them,” she said.

Kate Eberstadt, 23, a multidisciplinary artist who admits to ghosting more times than she can count, can testify to this kind of avoidance. She recalled meeting a man while with a group of friends, exploring art galleries together and spending an entire night talking to him when he showed up at the bar where she worked. He later asked her out to dinner.

“I couldn’t bring myself to respond,” Eberstadt wrote in an email from Germany. “I was not emotionally available. I could have explained this to him, but did not want to for fear of coming off, and potentially being written off, as overly complicated.”

Brian Allen, 24, an associate analyst for a consulting firm, who has gone silent a few times but never after more than a couple of dates, also praised the crisp simplicity of ghosting.

“They’ve all been quite effective in their purpose,” he said of his endings.

World heritage status approved for The Alamo, Japan sites

By CHRISTOPH NOELTING and FRANK JORDANS Associated Press

BONN, Germany — The United States has succeeded in its bid to “Remember the Alamo,” after the U.N. cultural body approved its status as a world heritage site Sunday.

The Alamo was one of five Spanish Roman Catholic sites, known as the San Antonio Missions, to receive the coveted label likely to boost tourism.

UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee approved the Missions’ status along with more than a dozen others from around the globe, including the Gunkanjima industrial site off Japan that South Korea had long objected to.

Susan Snow, an archaeologist for San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, said the site in Texas represents “the very essence of the great melting pot of the United States.”

“These Missions are a living example of the interchange of cultures bringing together the indigenous, Spanish, Mexican, and other influences that form South Texas today,” Snow said in a statement following the decision in Bonn.

The Missions were built in the 18th century in and around what is now the city of San Antonio to convert indigenous people to Catholicism and make them Spanish subjects.

The best known of the missions, The Alamo, was the site of the famous 1836 battle when an outnumbered band of Texas settlers staged a courageous stand before Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and his Mexican forces seized the mission. During the Battle of San Jacinto weeks later, then-victorious Texas soldiers shouted, “Remember the Alamo!”

U.S. officials hope the designation will boost tourism to San Antonio, already one of the city’s top five indus-

TOURISTS VISITED a part of Hashima Island off of Nagasaki, southern Japan, in June. The island is part of a collection of almost two dozen sites that illustrate the country’s industrial revolution during the 19th century. tries and responsible for one in eight jobs.

The Missions were the only sites in the United States proposed for world heritage status this year. Other American icons already on the list include the Statue of Liberty and the Grand Canyon.

In another decision, Japan received world heritage status for a collection of almost two dozen sites that illustrate the country’s industrial revolution during the 19th century. The unanimous vote in favor of Japan’s bid was approved only after Tokyo and Seoul resolved a spat over whether to acknowledge the sites’ history of wartime forced labor, particularly that of Gunkanjima, or Battleship Island.

The fortress island near Nagasaki was key to Japan’s rapid development during the 1868-1912 era of the Meiji Emperor, who sought to catch up with Western colonial powers.

Until recently, Seoul had objected to the listing unless the role of Korean prisoners

forced to work there during World War II was formally recognized.

“Japan is prepared to take measures that allow an understanding that there were a large number of Koreans and others who were brought against their will and forced to work under harsh conditions in the 1940s at some of the sites,” the Japanese delegation said in a statement after the decision.

More than a dozen other sites have also been granted world heritage status in recent days. They include: • The Burgundy vineyards south of Dijon, France, which have been shaped by centuries of wine making.

Along with surrounding villages and the historic center of Dijon, the site represents an industry in existence since at least the 12th century.

• Champagne, the sparkling wine distinctive of the eponymous French region, represented in the vineyards, the cellars where the bottled wine ferments a sec-

Baby Princess Charlotte christened on royal estate

By SYLVIA HUI

Associated Press

LONDON — Prince William and his wife, Kate, marked a milestone for their newborn baby Princess Charlotte on Sunday — a christening ceremony on Queen Elizabeth II’s country estate that was steeped in royal tradition.

Hundreds of fans outside St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, a sprawling royal estate near England’s eastern coast, cheered as William and Kate arrived with toddler Prince George and 9-week-old Charlotte, who was in a vintage pram.

It was only the second time Britain’s newborn princess, who is fourth in line to the throne, has been seen in public since she was born on May 2.

Charlotte was dressed for the occasion in a replica of the intricate lace-and-satin christening gown made for Queen Victoria’s eldest

daughter, also named Victoria, in 1841. Until 2008, that original gown had been worn by all royal babies — including the queen — at their christenings.

Following royal tradition, holy water from the River Jordan, where it is said Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, was used for the baptism.

The 16th-century church, close to William and Kate’s country house, Anmer Hall, is where the royal family traditionally gathers for Christmas service. It is also where Charlotte’s late grandmother, Princess Diana, was christened in 1961.

The ceremony was private — the queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Kate’s family were among a small group of guests allowed inside. Guests also included five godparents that William and Kate chose for Charlotte, including William’s cousin Laura Fellowes, Kate’s cousin Adam Middleton, and three

DEAR ABBY: My son had an affair that resulted in the birth of a child outside his marriage. The baby is extremely ill. My daughter-inlaw has forgiven my son for his infidelity, and along with my two grandchildren, the little family is trying to rebuild and also do right by the baby.

The baby’s mother stays in contact with us, although she is bitter and unpleasant to my son because he would not leave his family for her. However, she does keep us Dear Abby is abreast of written by the baby’s Abigail Van ongoing Buren, also medical known as condition Jeanne and needs.

My question is: How do I handle the relationship we have been forced into with the baby’s mother? I need moral guidance, and some kind of etiquette guidance as well. — MORAL DILEMMA

DEAR ABBY

IN GEORGIA DEAR M.D.: Don’t blame the woman for feeling bitter.

Her attempt to force your son into leaving his family failed, and she’s now responsible for a very sick child. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the baby is your grandchild, and she is your grandchild’s mother. Treat her with kindness. Don’t make things more difficult than they are by being hostile or judgmental. She’s paying for this affair and will for many years to come. Remember always that she is manipulative, but treat her with compassion.

DEAR ABBY: I have a good friend I’ve known for 35 years. I was there for her during some rough times when we were both living paycheck to paycheck. Long story short, she’s now married to a millionaire, and every time we get together, she insists on picking up the check.

Truthfully, I suppose it makes no sense for me to pay. I get that. Fifty dollars to me is like 50 cents to her. But the last thing I want is for her to feel I’m taking advantage or taking her for granted.

Once I did grab the dinner tab, and she really let me have it!

Am I overthinking this?

Should I just accept her good fortune and generosity? — VALUES FRIENDSHIP IN THE MIDWEST DEAR VALUES FRIENDSHIP: It appears your friend also values friendship and appreciates how precious

TODAY IN HISTORY

By The Associated Press

Today is Monday, July 6, the 187th day of 2015. There are 178 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On July 6, 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order establishing the Medal of Freedom. Nicaragua became the first nation to ratify the United Nations Charter.

On this date: In 1415, Czech church reformer Jan Hus, condemned for heresy, was burned at the stake in Konstanz in present-day Germany.

In 1535, Sir Thomas More was executed in England for high treason.

In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga.

In 1865, the weekly publication “The Nation,� the self-described “flagship of the left,� made its debut.

In 1917, during World War I, Arab forces led by T.E. Lawrence and Auda Abu Tayi captured the port of Aqaba from the Turks.

In 1933, the first All-Star baseball game was played at Chicago’s Comiskey Park; the American League defeated the National League, 4-2.

In 1944, an estimated 168 people died in a fire that broke out during a performance in the main tent of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Hartford, Conn.

In 1957, Althea Gibson became the first black tennis player to win a Wimbledon singles title as she defeated fellow American Darlene Hard 6-3, 6-2.

In 1971, jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong died in New York at age 69.

KATE AND CHARLOTTE ... at christening of the couple’s friends.

Fans from as far afield as Australia and the U.S. patiently lined up outside the church, hoping to get a glimpse of the baby as the royals arrived and departed.

Laurie Spencer, 52, from Florida, said she decided to give up a ticket for the British Grand Prix to be at Sandringham instead.

Aftermath of son’s affair puts grandmother in awkward spot long-term relationships are.

The two of you have a lot of shared history, and that kind of friendship isn’t easy to replicate.

I do think you should accept her generosity, but I also think you should share your feelings with her so she can put your mind at ease. If it will make you feel less indebted, consider giving her an occasional gift. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just thoughtful.

DEAR ABBY: What are the best words to use when you realize the psychotherapist you recently began therapy with isn’t the right one for you? Should the words be said in person, over the phone in his voice mail or in writing? I want to get this over with as soon as possible and start looking for someone who may better suit me and my issues. — LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT ONE IN NEW JERSEY DEAR LOOKING: The words are, “This isn’t working for me, and I won’t be coming back.� Be sure to tell the person why.

Grateful Dead bid final Fare Thee Well in Chicago “THE FEELING we have here — remember it, take it home and do some good with it. I’ll leave you with this: Please, be kind.�

By JOE COSCARELLI

New York Times News Service

CHICAGO — There were tears among the tie-dyed and enough hugs to recall Haight-Ashbury at its most loving as the surviving members of the Grateful Dead played their fifth and final Fare Thee Well concert on Sunday night at Soldier Field, having vowed it would be their last as a group.

The Dead’s “core four� — Phil Lesh on bass, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart handling percussion and Bob Weir on rhythm guitar — embraced and waved from center stage after taking their final bows just before midnight, capping more than three hours of the band’s famously improvisational jams spread across two sets and two encores. “The feeling we have here — remember it, take it home and do some good with it,�

Hart said in closing. “I’ll leave you with this: Please, be kind.�

Those were some of the first words spoken all night.

Never ones for between-song banter, the musicians expressed sentimentality almost exclusively through their instruments — and cer-

PHIL LESH, left, and Trey Anastasio of The Grateful Dead performed Sunday for a sold-out crowd estimated at more than 70,000 at their Fare Thee Well Show at Soldier Field in Chicago. tain lyrics, imbued with new meaning and finality — for most of the night. The first stadium-rattling singalong came during the second song, “I Know You Rider,� with audience fists raised high: “Gonna miss me when

I’m gone,� Soldier Field shouted in unison.

Later, to start the second set, there was “Truckin,’� with its key line: “Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it’s been.� And finally, closing the second set,

“Not Fade Away�: “Our love is real, not fade away! Not fade away!�

The Fare Thee Well shows, including three in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend and two at the end of June in Santa Clara, Calif.,

marked the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead, which formed around the San Francisco Bay Area in 1965.

With studio albums recorded across three decades, and, more important, its adventurous, unrepeatable marathon performances and democratic ethos, the Dead became avatars, along with their fanatic Deadhead followers, for the ’60s psychedelic hippie scene from California to Woodstock.

The band was joined for its farewell dates by Jeff Chimenti, slapping away at his keyboards, pianist Bruce Hornsby and Phish’s Trey Anastasio, filling in on lead guitar for the late Dead leader Jerry Garcia.

Soldier Field was the site of the final Grateful Dead show with Garcia, nearly 20 years ago to the day, on July 9, 1995.

There were bits of tradition sprinkled throughout the

night: the “Drums/Space� improvisational section, including a percussion duet

by Kreutzmann and Hart; Lesh’s “donor rap,� in which he recalls his 1998 liver transplant; and even a few flubbed cues.

There were also one-off inside jokes, like Weir changing into a “Let Trey Sing� T-shirt for the encores.

A sold-out crowd, estimated at more than 70,000, swayed and sang to every song — a rolling sea of graying beards and ponytails, flowing skirts, cowboy hats and backward caps, flower crowns and bandannas — as the band wound its way toward the final notes of “Attics of My Life,� an acoustic lullaby that finished the night.

A black-and-white photo montage of band members past and present played on the stage screens and, as the Dead went quiet, the cheers just got louder.

‘Terminator,’ ‘Magic Mike’ N FREE NEVER E V E R PAY FULL PRIICE fizzle at July 4th box office A AGAIN GA AIN IN roast beef sandwich*

By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

NEW YORK — July Fourth went off like a dud at the box office. Anticipated new releases “Magic Mike XXL� and “Terminator Genisys� fizzled, leaving the popular holdovers “Jurassic World� and “Inside Out� to top the holiday weekend.

Despite the brawny enticements of Channing Tatum and Arnold Schwarzenegger, the four-week rule of Universal’s dinosaur sensation “Jurassic World� continued with an estimated $30.9 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Pixar’s acclaimed “Inside Out� nearly caught up to the runaway dinos, taking in $30.1 million in its third weekend of release.

The strength of those June hits and the unfortunate timing of July Fourth this year coming on a Saturday (rather than stretching out a long weekend) meant the sequels “Terminator Genisys� and “Magic Mike XXL� both failed to match previous installments.

Paramount’s “Terminator Genisys,� the fifth film in the series which also marks Schwarzenegger’s return to his most iconic character, took in $28.7 million over the weekend and $44.2 million since opening Wednesday.

Warner Bros. also tried to expand the weekend, opening Tatum’s male-stripper romp “Magic Mike XXL� on Wednesday. But after a strong start, the film managed just $12 million over the weekend. Over five days it made $27.1 million.

The openings were disappointing for the new releases, but each has a different makeup. “Terminator Genisys,� an attempted reboot in the 31-year-old, James Cameron-created franchise, was made for $155 million. “Magic Mike XXL,� a road-trip sequel to Steven Soderbergh’s 2012 hit original, was made for just under $15 million.

Megan Colligan, head of worldwide distribution for Paramount, said the weekend simply didn’t play like a holiday weekend. “The weekend got off to a very sluggish start because people didn't have off until

Friday,� said Colligan. “Our start was just not where it needed to be. Some of that does have to do with it is pretty severe competition. ‘Jurassic’ is still such a powerhouse in the marketplace and it was hard to anticipate that that wouldn't have burned off a little more by now.�

Hollywood’s summer has been inching close to equaling its record 2013 season, thanks partly to the unexpected success of “Jurassic World.� (Now with $558.2 million domestically, it’s already the fourth-best showing of all time in North America.)

The biggest potholes this summer have been holiday weekends, noted Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office firm Rentrak.

Estimated ticket sales

below are for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included.

1. “Jurassic World,� $30.9 million ($42 million international) 2. “Inside Out,� $30.1 million ($18.6 million international) 3. “Terminator: Genisys,� $28.7 million ($74 million international) 4. “Magic Mike XXL,� $12 million ($6.2 million international) 5. “Ted 2,� $11 million ($18.8 million international) 6. “Max,� $7 million 7. “Spy,� $5.5 million ($3.4 million international) 8. “San Andreas,� $3 million 9. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl,� $1.3 million 10. “Dope,� $1.1 million

Sisters march to same drum Continued from Page 1 marching band. Other duties include warming up the band, handing out music, setting up the practice field and assisting the director.

“There are many, many duties of the drum major,” Aimee said, “but they can be summed up by saying the drum major must be a good leader, a good conductor, and must be able to put others before themselves.”

Last season, Aimee served as co-drum major alongside the previously selected one, which gave her insight into what would be required. While her siblings’ involvement in marching band has encouraged Aimee, it was not the sole motive to her achievements.

“Aimee has always been very driven when it comes to music,” Claire said.

“From a young age, she was working on her own compositions and striving to be the best musician she could be. … When it came time for auditions for her senior year, she was very prepared and needed very little help from me.”

Auditions for Aimee involved conducting the band in playing three pieces of music: “On Wisconsin,” which is a Penns Manor tradition; “The StarSpangled Banner”; and the Penns Manor alma mater.

Needless to say, it all worked out in her favor, as it did for both of her sisters.

“It’s definitely neat that we’ve been able to create this tradition of leadership in the band,” Lingenfelter said, although hesitant to take credit for starting it.

“They’re strong-willed and determined young women who would’ve likely pursued it on their own terms.”

Aimee looks at it as less of a tradition and more of a personal goal.

“I’ve never felt that being

drum major my senior year was something like carrying on a tradition,” she said.

“It was always something that I wanted to achieve, and it is something that I am proud to say that my sisters and I have been able to accomplish.”

Looking ahead, Aimee said she plans to compose a piece of music for the Penns Manor marching band as her graduation project. She is unsure of where she wants to attend college, but she is positive that music will remain a big part of her life.

“Wherever I go, music will be the forefront of my studies,” Aimee said.

Her siblings felt no differently. In addition to her brother having bachelor’s degree in music education, Claire is currently attending Mount Aloysius College in Cresson for a degree in psychology and pursuing a minor in choral performance.

Lingenfelter earned a bachelor’s degree in history and minor in flute from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In addition to her job at Indiana First Bank, she now serves as musical director at Penns Manor and volunteers as “the voice of the Penns Manor marching band.”

With her season as drum major nearing, Aimee recently attended the 2015 Drum Majors Field Conductors Academy at IUP to prepare, just as her sisters did when they were getting ready to fill the position.

This is just one of the many memories she and her sisters will have to share as she follows in their footsteps.

“Looking back, it’s so special that we were able to all experience some of those same exact moments,” Lingenfelter said. “Those are things you just can’t make up or experience any other way.”

Budget stalemate: Here’s what to expect Continued from Page 1 main between Wolf and leaders of the Republicancontrolled Legislature over taxes and spending. The Republicans passed a $30.2 billion, no-new-taxes budget bill that authorizes $1.1 billion in new spending, primarily for rising public pension and health care costs and to boost education aid.

Every Democratic lawmaker opposed the bill. The Republicans’ budget plan was nearly $1.5 billion lower than Wolf’s, a difference explained primarily by the GOP’s smaller offering of education aid and its use of one-time payment delays.

Wolf wants a new, $1 billion severance tax on Marcellus shale natural gas production and a grab-bag of other tax increases to reverse deep cuts in education aid and to wipe out a long-term budget deficit.

Republicans say the privatization of the state’s wine and liquor system could bring in $220 million annually; Wolf says it is unwise to sell a valuable asset and risk higher prices and less selection for consumers.

PENSIONS Wolf is expected to veto a plan Republicans passed to end the traditional pension benefit for most future public school and state government employees by

directing them into 401(k)style retirement plans.

Every Democratic lawmaker opposed it. Wolf has said he opposed the Republican plan, although Wolf and lawmakers say it is important to squeeze savings out of the debt-ridden systems that cover about 370,000 workers.

WHAT’S AHEAD Neither Wolf nor top Republican lawmakers are giving an inch publicly or taking responsibility for the stalemate, now three months after Wolf proposed his budget plan. To override Wolf’s veto, Republicans need a twothirds majority in both houses — a threshold that would require Democratic votes.

The absence of a budget this early in the fiscal year 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.

Historically, the state has lost the authority to pay its vendors, including counties and nonprofit organizations that administer much of the state’s social safety net.

It also has been unable to release aid to schools, early childhood centers and universities.

Fasting marks Muslim holiday

Continued from Page 1 special time of worship when Muslims do more charity and praying than usual. “It’s a great chance to repent or come back to God, because every good deed done during Ramadan is multiplied,” she said.

While fasting is meant to direct the believers away from worldly activities, it also serves as a reminder to be more aware of the less fortunate. “We sympathize with the poor and try to help with charity and food,” Qutami said.

The day begins with a predawn meal, the Suhar, and ends at sunset with the Iftar, or breaking of the daily fast.

The Iftar begins with a light meal usually involving dates, followed by the Maghrib, or evening prayer, where men and women in separate areas in the center perform their

worship toward Mecca. A full meal follows, with fellowship enjoyed by the members, who came to Indiana from all over the world, including Indonesia, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

The Indiana Islamic Center, at 2835 West Pike, was completed in June 2014, and gives the 600 members of the community a much-needed large, purpose-built space in which to worship.

“Our members used to meet at the Hadley Union Building on the IUP campus, and then used a house on Philadelphia Street,” Alahdal said, “but we outgrew those spaces.”

Samah Elbelazi, a member of the center and a doctoral candidate at IUP, said the facility is a “dream come true, where we are able to share food, gatherings and socializing.”

12,300 viewed this story online.

4,200 interacted with it on Facebook.

“For me it is like my grandparents’ house,” she said, “where all of us, regardless of our nationalities and cultural backgrounds, can meet and celebrate different Islamic holidays such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid Al Adha.”

Alahdal explained that Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the next lunar month, and will occur on Friday, July 17, at sundown.

The event involves a threeday festival of fellowship, food and prayer. Eid Al Adha occurs in September and marks the willingness of the Prophet Abraham to obey God, and is referred to as the Feast of the Sacrifice.

“The meat and food that are prepared are meant to be divided into thirds,” Alahdal said.

“One-third to be eaten, one-third to be given to char-

ity, and one-third to be shared with friends and family.”

In an effort to help others become more culturally aware of Islamic beliefs, the Muslim Student Association at IUP holds Islamic Awareness Days on campus during the fall and spring semester, and in June hosted an event specifically about Ramadan.

“These events are more than just educational experiences,” Alahdal said.

“They provide Muslims with the opportunity to give their non-Muslim colleagues and co-workers a way to introduce them to what we do.”

For people interested in learning more about the Indiana Islamic Center, visitors are directed to the website at www.ici-pa.org for information about the center’s hours and events.

Greek future in euro unclear Continued from Page 1 country needs — even though those proposals were no longer on the table.

The vote was painted by opposition parties and many European officials as one on whether Greece should remain in Europe’s joint currency. In the aftermath, many officials softened their tone and said talks would resume, though Greece’s chance of staying in the euro was looking increasingly shaky.

The country’s banks remain shut for a sixth working day as the government tries to limit a drain of deposits despite limits on cash withdrawals at ATMs. All eyes now turn to whether the European Central Bank will increase the amount of credit the banks can draw on to make up for the cash drain.

Analysts expect the ECB to not provide more emergency assistance today, meaning Greece might have to tighten its limits on cash withdrawals and transfers from the current 60 euros ($67) per day. If the ECB does not increase its help to the banks, it will be impossible for Tsipras to keep his pledge to quickly restore Greece’s banking system. The Greek government has vowed to quickly restart negotiations with creditors in other eurozone countries and with the institutions that oversaw the country’s bailout: the ECB, European Commission and International Monetary Fund.

Varoufakis appeared to be the first casualty of the vote’s fallout.

With his brash style and fondness for frequent media appearances, Varoufakis had

visibly annoyed many of the eurozone’s finance ministers during Greece’s debt negotiations. Varoufakis said in a statement he was told shortly after the referendum result that some other eurozone finance ministers and the country’s other creditors would appreciate his not attending the ministers’ meetings. The idea was one “that the prime minister judged to be potentially helpful to him in reaching an agreement.

For this reason I am leaving the Ministry of Finance today,” he said.

As for his European negotiating colleagues, he said of them: “I shall wear the creditors’ loathing with pride.”

A replacement was to be announced later today.

With his high-stakes gamble to call a referendum with just a week’s notice, Tsipras

aimed to show creditors that Greeks, whose economy has been shattered and who face spiraling unemployment and poverty, have had enough and that the austerity prescribed isn’t working.

But everything hinges on European reaction. A eurozone summit was hastily called for Tuesday afternoon to discuss the situation.

European officials appear to be split on a key demand

by Greece to have the burden of its bailout loans be made more manageable.

France’s finance minister, Michel Sapin, indicated that discussing Greece’s debt is not taboo, saying the country could not recover with its current obligations “in the months and years to come.”

Sapin also called for the ECB to maintain liquidity assistance to Greek banks.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP: United States 5, Japan 2

Cole, Bucs rally past Cleveland

World Champs

By JOHN PERROTTO Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Down 3-0 after the third inning on the heels of two uneven starts, Gerrit Cole didn’t get angry or flustered.

Instead, the Pittsburgh ace became dominant.

Cole overcame a rocky start for his major league-best 12th win and Andrew McCutchen’s two-run double capped a fiverun fifth inning as the Pirates rallied past the Cleveland Indians 5-3 Sunday.

Cole (12-3) set down his last 16 batters after the Indians scored twice in the second inning and once in the third.

“I wasn’t getting frustrated because I felt that they were hitting some good pitches,” Cole said.

PIRATES 5 “Sometimes that hapINDIANS 3 pens.”

Cole threw 106 pitches while allowing three runs and five hits in eight innings. He struck out five and walked one after going winless in his previous two starts while pitching a combined 11 13 innings.

“They weren’t chasing pitches out of the strike zone, especially early,” Cole said.

“We just stayed with the game plan until things eventually started working out.”

Mark Melancon posted his NL-leading 27th save as the Pirates won for the fifth time in six games.

McCutchen’s tiebreaking double off the top of the center-field fence was the last of six Pirates’ hits in the inning off Danny Salazar (7-4).

“When Danny’s pitching, sometimes scoring one run is enough because he’s that good,” Cleveland second baseman Jason Kipnis said. “Pittsburgh’s a good team, though. They have good hitters and they did what they were supposed to do in the fifth inning.”

U.S. claims third World Cup crown

GENE J. PUSKAR/Associated Press

PIRATES STARTER Gerrit Cole picked up his major-league best 12th win Sunday.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — For a brief time Sunday night, Carli Lloyd’s Wikipedia page listed her position as “President of the United States.”

More like Captain America.

Lloyd, right, scored three goals to lead the United States to a 5-2 victory over Japan for the team’s record third World Cup title — and first since 1999.

Lloyd’s hat trick came in the match’s first 16 minutes. When it was over, the captain of the U.S. team collapsed to her knees and pumped her fists.

“I’m so proud and so zapped at the same time. It’s a surreal moment,” the 32-year-old midfielder said. “It’s been amazing. We just wrote history and brought this World Cup trophy home.”

Even the president chimed in with congratulations.

“What a win for Team USA! Great game @CarliLloyd! Your country is so proud of all of you. Come visit the White House with the World Cup soon,” President Barack Obama posted to Twitter.

While winning the last three Olympic gold medals, the U.S. had struggled in the World Cup since taking the title at the inaugural tournament in 1991, and then again at the Rose Bowl eight years later.

WIMBLEDON

Serena bests sister to reach quarters

By The Associated Press Serena Williams beat older sister Venus 6-4, 6-3 today at Wimbledon to advance to the quarterfinals.

Both Serena and Venus are five-time champions at the All England Club, but Serena is on track for a true Grand Slam after winning the Australian Open and French Open this year.

With Madison Keys and CoCo Vandeweghe also winning earlier today, it’s the first time three American women have reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals since Serena, Lindsay Davenport and Jen-

nifer Capriati did it in 2004.

Vandeweghe upset French Open runner-up Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic in straight sets.

Vandeweghe dominated both tiebreakers to win 7-6 (1), 76 (4) after the players traded breaks once in each set.

Before Wimbledon, she had not been past the third round of any major.

Keys beat Olga Govortsova of Belarus 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 at the All England Club.

Keys, who reached the Australian Open semifinals this year, had never before been past the third round at Wimbledon.

Christie Rampone, the only holdover from the 1999 team, lifted the trophy with Abby Wambach, the 35-yearold former FIFA Player of the Year who has said this will be her last World Cup. Wambach was among the most vocal opponents of FIFA’s decision to play the tournament on artificial turf.

With FIFA President Sepp Blatter staying away from Canada during a U.S. criminal investigation of soccer corruption, the trophy was presented by FIFA Senior Vice President Issa Hayatou of Cameroon, the head of African soccer’s governing body.

Hope Solo won her second straight Golden Glove as top goalkeeper of the tournament.

She played despite critics who urged the U.S. Soccer Federation to drop her after she initially faced two misdemeanor counts of domestic violence from a June 2014 altercation at her half sister’s house, charges that were dismissed earlier this year.

Solo, who hasn’t spoken to the media for most of the tournament, proclaimed simply: “We did it! Awesome!”

Horrific crash mars Junior’s win

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

STEPHEN M. DOWELL/Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel

AUSTIN DILLON (3) went airborne during a multiple-car accident Sunday on the final lap in Daytona Beach, Fla.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A horrific last-lap accident that left drivers fearing for Austin Dillon’s safety muted Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s victory celebration in the rain-delayed race at Daytona International Speedway.

Earnhardt crossed the finish line at 2:41 a.m. this morning filled with dread after Dillon’s car sailed upside down into the fence then shot back onto the track.

The car was on its roof and mangled when it was hit hard by Brad Keselowski.

The car tore down a section of fencing, debris scattered into the grandstands, and crew members from several teams raced to check on Dillon.

A stunned Earnhardt seemed speechless as he crossed the finish line.

“Oh my God. That looked awful,” Earnhardt yelled into his radio.

He followed with a string of expletives as he tried to comprehend the frightening accident.

Crew chief Greg Ives immediately radioed his team to not pull Dillon from the car.

“Whoever is in that window, if he’s OK, do not touch him. Tell him to stay in there,” Ives said.

Earnhardt continued to inquire about Dillon, who earned his first career victory at Daytona in Friday night’s Xfinity Series race and has been close with the Earnhardt family his entire life.

Royals overtaken in voting Four Kansas City players remain in starting lineup

By RONALD BLUM

ALL-STAR STARTERS

AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK — The All-Star Game will have a Kansas City flavor, just not as much as it appeared last month.

And the hometown Reds can celebrate a starter, too, despite Cincinnati’s sorry season.

Houston second baseman Jose Altuve passed Kansas City’s Omar Infante in the final days of voting, leaving four Royals as starters for the All-Star Game.

Cincinnati’s Todd Frazier leapfrogged St. Louis third baseman Matt Carpenter and will be in the NL starting lineup for the July 14 game at Great American Ball Park, according to final results announced Sunday.

AL champion Kansas City will be represented in the starting lineup by outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon, catcher Salvador Perez and shortstop Alcides Escobar. Four players ties the AL record for fan-elected starters, achieved nine times previously.

Kansas City had not had any starters since outfielder Jermaine Dye in 2000.

“Winning brings attention, and that’s what we’ve been doing,” Gordon said. “I think we play with a lot of energy, a lot of fun. People have noticed it.”

Eight Royals were on track to start in vote totals announced June 15, but first baseman Eric Hosmer, third baseman Mike Moustakas and designated hitter Kendrys Morales also were overtaken.

“We’re going to have a blast,” said Roy-

als manager Ned Yost, manager of the AL team. “The All-Star Game is an experience you never forget, and to do it with so many of our teammates there is really special.”

Yost already has made one decision: Cain will play right field and Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels will play center. Trout will make his fourth straight All-Star appearance.

Seattle’s Nelson Cruz, suspended for the final 50 games of the 2013 season for violating baseball’s drug agreement, was elected to start for the second straight year. In the closest vote at any position, Cruz’s 10.6 million votes edged Morales’ 10.32 million at DH.

Toronto’s Josh Donaldson will start at third for the second straight year after receiving a record vote total of 14.09 million, topping Josh Hamilton’s 11.07 million in 2012. Trout was second this year with 14 million.

Washington outfielder Bryce Harper set a mark for NL players at 13.86 million, topping the previous record of 7.62 million set three years ago by San Francisco catcher Buster Posey, who was elected to start again this year.

MLB said 620 million votes were cast, breaking the old mark of 391 million in 2012. The New York Yankees do not have any fan-elected starters for the first time since 2001.

At least two elected starters will miss the game because of injuries: Miami outfielder Giancarlo Stanton broke a hand on June 26, and Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera hurt his left calf Friday. In addition, the Cardinals’ Matt Holliday, who finished third among NL outfielders behind Harper and Stanton, has been sidelined since straining a quadriceps on June 8 and is uncertain when he will return.

Each fan could cast up to 35 ballots in the first year of all-online voting. Pitchers and reserves will be announced today.

Altuve overturned a 232,000-vote deficit in Monday’s update and finished with 9.63 million to top Infante, who was just shy of 9 million.

Frazier trailed Carpenter by 2.5 million votes in mid-June and by 63,000 at the start of the week but finished ahead by 2.1 million.

“I was really nervous. I was excited. It was a huge comeback,” Frazier said.

“I’m pretty much on Cloud Nine.”

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Milwaukee wins eighth straight

Jose Bautista and Justin Smoak homered in a six-run fifth inning against the 2011 AL Cy Young Award winner and MVP. Verlander (0-4) gave up seven hits and two walks in five innings, striking out five. He needed 94 pitches to get 15 outs.

Marco Estrada (6-4) improved to 5-1 in his last seven starts.

RAYS 8, YANKEES 1: Erasmo Ramirez pitched out of early trouble in his latest effective outing against New York, and Tampa Bay took advantage of some shoddy defense to snap its longest losing streak of the season at seven games.

Alex Rodriguez hit his 670th home run, the only damage against Ramirez (7-3) in six innings. Yankees hitters entered 2-for-27 (.074) against the righthander this year and didn’t fare much better.

Pirates rally in Cole’s 12th victory Continued from Page 13 Jung Ho Kang led off the fifth with a single and Pedro Alvarez followed with his 12th homer.

Chris Stewart singled one out later, was sacrificed to second by Cole, took third on Josh Harrison’s single and scored the tying run on a single by Neil Walker. McCutchen then put the Pirates ahead.

McCutchen said it took a while to adjust to Salazar, who had never faced the Pirates.

“He has a good changeup and a fastball in the mid-tohigh 90s, so it’s pretty hard to sit on any one pitch,” McCutchen said. “It took a couple of times through the order until we became comfortable.”

Cleveland broke on top on RBI singles by Michael Bourn and Roberto Perez in the second inning and Michael Brantley in the third.

Then Cole took over and sent the Indians to their second straight loss following a five-game winning streak.

“He’s got great stuff,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “And once they got the lead, he found another gear.”

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle also saw a change in Cole once Pittsburgh went ahead.

“When we scored five in the fifth he just got in that closer’s mentality and pitched through the eighth very effectively,” Hurdle said.

NOTES: Pirates left fielder Starling Marte left the game

GENE J. PUSKAR/Associated Press

THE PIRATES’ Pedro Alvarez had hit 13 straight solo home runs dating to August 2014 before connecting for a two-run shot Sunday. because of discomfort in his left side while batting in the fourth inning. He motioned for a trainer after swinging and missing at a pitch. “I feel better,” Marte said after the game. “I knew it was best (to leave the game) so I feel better tomorrow.” … Right-hander A.J. Burnett (7-3, 2.05), who has a 1.77 ERA in his last five starts, opposes San Diego right-hander James Shields (7-3, 4.14) tonight to start a three-game home series. … The Pirates claimed first baseman Travis Ishikawa off waivers from the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

Ishikawa, 31, was 0-for-5 in six games for the Giants this season. Ishikawa was the Pirates’ opening-day first baseman last season, but was designated for assignment April 19.

Young Township gets sweep

By The Indiana Gazette Young Township plated two runs in the fifth inning and then cut a late Marion Center rally short to score a 4-3 win in the opening game of an Indiana County Senior Legion baseball doubleheader at Marion Center Community Park.

The first-place Renegades then capitalized on 12 walks and seven errors in the second game to roll to a 12-2 win for the sweep in a game that was shortened to five innings due to the mercy rule.

In the first game, Mitch Johnston doubled before scoring on Caddis Coscarelli’s RBI single to give Young Township a 3-1 lead in the top of the fifth. Brandon Neal then belted a two-out RBI single to make the score 4-1.

Marion Center’s Hunter Stiteler hit an RBI single in the sixth to make it 4-2.

Jared Marshall stole home later in the inning to trim the Renegades’ lead to 43.

Then, with the Renegades still clinging to a one-run lead, reliever Neal retired the side in the seventh to seal the win. “I’m very proud that they’re not giving up,� Marion Center coach Joe Bunyak said of his winless team. “They’re battling and doing what I ask them to do.

We just can’t seem to get that clutch hit when we need it.�

Johnston went 2-for-4, and Brady Neal and Brandon Neal each singled twice.

Winning pitcher Devin Fairman fanned four, walked three and allowed six hits in five innings, and Brandon Neal pitched two innings to pick up the save.

Luke Popovich and Hunter Stiteler smacked two singles apiece to lead Marion Center.

In the second game, the Renegades plated eight runs on four hits, six walks and two errors in the bottom of the third inning to make the score 12-2. “We started off on the wrong foot, but it got even worse by the third inning,�

Bunyak said. “The momentum from the first game definitely carried over for them, but you just can’t make seven errors and walk 12 batters and expect to win.�

Winning pitcher Jake Townsend struck out three and walked one in a three-hitter.

Fairman paced the Renegades by going 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs. Johnston singled twice and drove in two runs.

Marion Center (0-12) travels to Punxsutawney for a doubleheader today.

Young Township (11-7) visits Punxsutawney on Tuesday.

PUNXSUTAWNEY 4, MARION CENTER 3: In a game played Friday, visiting Punxsutawney edged Marion Center at Marion Center Community Park.

Ryan Jones struck out four and walked two to earn the win.

Punxsutawney (11-3) plays host to Marion Center in a doubleheader today.

YOUTH LEGION INDIANA LIONS 4, WALBECK INSURANCE 3: With a chance to lock down at least a share of the regular-season title, Walbeck Insurance plated three runs in the seventh inning but fell just short of pulling off a late comeback in a loss to Indiana Lions at First Commonwealth Field.

Trajan Jones clubbed a three-run homer in the top of the first inning to put Indiana Lions on the board first. In the fifth, Danny Millen singled and scored later in the inning on a passed ball to make the score 4-0.

Ryan Orsargos gave Walbeck Insurance its first run when he hit an RBI groundout in the seventh. Corey Cavalier and Jesse Lee then each scored on passed balls to make it 4-3. But with two outs and the tying run at the plate, Brayden Lorelli struck out Tim Alcon swinging to end the game. “We battled back and had some chances, but the hole we dug early was just too big,� Walbeck Insurance coach Ryan Mlakar said.

Lorelli struck out six, walked four and allowed seven hits in a complete-game win, and Jones went 2-for-3.

Losing pitcher Nate Davis fanned two, walked three and surrendered two hits in 4 2-3 innings.

Walbeck Insurance, I-Medical and Armstrong each hold 14-5 records and sit in a three-way tie for first place with one game to play. I-Medical travels to Armstrong for what will be the season finale for both teams today. Walbeck Insurance can claim the regular-season title outright with a win over visiting

Marion Center on Tuesday in its season finale and an I-Medical loss to Armstrong. If I-Medical beats Armstrong, it takes the regular-season title outright, and if Armstrong beats I-Medical and Walbeck Insurance falls to Marion Center, then Armstrong wins the title outright.

Indiana Lions concluded its season with a record of 12-8.

Junior’s win overshadowed

Continued from Page 13 The late Dale Earnhardt won 34 races at Daytona and Dillon was present for many of them as he grew up watching The Intimidator drive for Richard Childress, Dillon’s grandfather. Earnhardt was killed in a 2001 crash on the final lap of the Daytona 500.

Earnhardt Jr. said after the race he had no idea who was in the car — it was torn nearly in half, its engine ripped from under the hood — but admitted to being genuinely scared after the wreck. “You are just on the verge of tears,� Earnhardt said. “I saw everything in the mirror pretty clearly ... I just was very scared for whoever that car was. I didn’t care about anything except figuring out who was OK. “The racing doesn’t matter anymore.�

The outcome was never in doubt as Earnhardt dominated the entire race. But as the pack of cars chased him on a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish, contact in the train sent Dillon’s car sailing upside down into the fence.

Daytona President Joie Chitwood said 13 fans were attended to in the grandstands. Eight declined treatment, four were seen at the track and one was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.

Dillon was seen and released in Daytona’s infield care center and said he had a bruised forearm and tailbone.

The accident was similar to a 2013 crash in the Xfinity Series when Kyle Larson’s car sailed into the fence, sending debris into the stands that injured 28 fans. Larson’s car was destroyed as it ricocheted back onto the track.

Jimmie Johnson, who finished second, said Dillon’s wreck was one of the worst he’s ever seen. “I’m shocked that Austin Dillon is even alive,� said Johnson. “I expected the worst when I came back around.�

The accident overshadowed Earnhardt’s second win of the season.

The wreck was also the main focus at the end of a day that began early Sunday but quickly fell off schedule because of weather.

The race began at 11:42 p.m., a delay of 3 hours, 34 minutes for rain. Drivers spent the time doing an array of different activities: Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano went into the stands to thank fans for sticking around, while Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

They also stopped by the NBC studio to help the network fill air time in its first race broadcasting NASCAR since 2006.

When the race finally began, and the field circled the track waiting for the green flag, reigning NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick made note of the unusual start time by wishing his crew a good evening before correcting himself to morning.

It then took just three laps for the action to begin as David Gilliland sliced across the front of Clint Bowyer to trigger a nine-car accident that collected Logano and Danica Patrick, among others.

Tony Stewart, winner of the 2005 race that ended at 1:42 a.m., sliced his way through the carnage then grumbled on his radio about early-race aggressiveness. “Somebody please remind me how much Lap 2 pays again?� he smarted.

U.S. wins Cup title Continued from Page 13 She was later quoted by FIFA.com as saying: “It feels so good. It was incredible. This is surely the peak of my career.”

The title, which adds a coveted third star to the American uniform, also vindicated the USSF for its decision in April 2014 to fire coach Tom Sermanni, who had replaced Pia Sundhage the previous year, and replace him with Ellis, the British-born American who had been an assistant on the coaching staff.

Ellis’ tactics and lineups were criticized early in the World Cup tournament when the U.S. offense sputtered at times. She shifted Lloyd to an attacking midfielder in the semifinal against top-ranked Germany and again in the final, and put 22-year-old Morgan Brian, the youngest player on her roster, in a defensive midfield role.

“When you go through a tournament of seven games, there are peaks and valleys,” Ellis said.

“Players get hot, and you ride the players that are hot. For Carli, the attacking part of her game, she was doing tremendously well.”

Lloyd had come up big before, scoring the winning goals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic finals.

The Golden Ball winner as player of the tournament, Lloyd scored twice in a span of about 135 seconds as the U.S. led 2-0 by the fifth minute.

Lauren Holiday boosted the U.S. lead in the 14th, and two minutes later Lloyd made it 4-0 with an audacious 54-yard, rightfooted shot from midfield that sailed over goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori.

Japan closed on Yuki Ogimi’s goal in the 27th and an own goal by Julie Johnston on an errant header in the 52nd. Tobin Heath scored two minutes later.

Lloyd’s hat trick was the fastest in World Cup history — men or women — and Lloyd became the first American since Michelle Akers in 1991 to score multiple goals in a World Cup final.

The only other hat trick in a World Cup final was when England’s Geoff Hurst scored three times against West Germany in the men’s 1966 final at Wembley.

“Miss Lloyd she always does this to us. In London she scored two goals and today she scored three goals. We are embarrassed,” Japan coach Norio Sasaki said.

“But she is an excellent player and I really respect her and admire her.”

Lloyd scored six goals in seven matches during the monthlong tournament, including in every U.S. game of the knockout phase. She raised her international goals total to 69 and joined Carin Jennings in 1991 as the only Americans to win the Golden Ball.

Ogimi’s goal was the first Solo allowed after five straight shutouts. The only other goal scored against her came in the first half of the tournament opener against Australia.

The United States went 540 minutes without conceding a goal, the longest streak in the World Cup since Germany’s record 679 scoreless minutes from 2003-11.

Japan’s victory over the United States four years ago was its first World Cup title and it came just months after the massive earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, killing more than 20,000 people and touching off the worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl in 1986.

DANNY LEE earned his first PGA Tour win at The Greenbrier Classic in a four-man playoff on Sunday in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.

Lee nabs Greenbrier title in four-man playoff

By The Associated Press A week ago at the Travelers Championship, Danny Lee became so disappointed with his driver that he gave it to a young fan in the middle of the final round and walked away.

On Sunday, his new one worked pretty well.

Nearly eight years after becoming a U.S. Amateur champion at age 18, Lee earned his first PGA Tour win at The Greenbrier Classic in a four-man playoff.

Lee won in his 98th tour event when he parred the second hole of Sunday’s sudden-death playoff, eliminating David Hearn after Kevin Kisner and Robert Streb faltered on the first playoff hole.

“I kind of felt like I was playing good but not good enough to win a golf tournament,” Lee said. “But this week for some reason I just felt right. I was hitting my driver really good, my irons really good.”

Lee, Hearn, Kisner and Streb were tied at 13 after four rounds on the Old White TPC course. And Lee admits he suddenly became nervous.

“My head was blank, and I was just trying to breathe,” he said.

For good measure, Lee said his caddie, Kurt Kowaluk, put the piece of paper indicating his playoff starting position into a mock wishing well on the par-3 18th tee.

“He put it in there so I can win it,” Lee said.

By then, Lee had his focus back.

“I felt ready,” he said. “I felt like I could really win this thing.”

The South Korean-born New Zealander earned $1.2 million and became the ninth first-time winner on the tour this season. He jumped from 57th to 15th in the FedEx Cup points race.

Lee, Hearn, James Hahn and Greg Owen earned spots in next week’s British Open at St. Andrews. There also were four spots handed out a week ago at the Travelers Championship and one more is available this week at the John Deere Classic.

Lee was competing in his 27th event this season, including his eighth in nine weeks. He is trying to qualify for the international team for the Presidents Cup in October in South Korea. He was 47th in the standings after The Greenbrier Classic.

“I never get tired of playing golf,” Lee said. “I mean, it’s my job, and I just love doing it, and I’m just happy to be out here every week.”

Kisner shot a 6-under 64 to get to the clubhouse first at 13 under. Hearn (67) and Lee (67) birdied the par-5 17th to join the playoff.

WEB.COM: Abraham Ancer won the Nova Scotia Open on Sunday for his first Web.com Tour title, beating Bronson Burgoon with a 15foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff.

The 24-year-old Ancer became the tour’s fifth Mexican winner, following Keoke Cotner, Esteban Toledo, Alex Aragon and Carlos Ortiz.

Ancer was born in Texas and has dual citizenship.

“It was a pretty straight putt. It was right-edge and I smoked it dead center,” Ancer said. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a while.

To win out here is tough. I don’t think it’s going to sink in for a while.”

Part of a tour-record sixway tie for the third-round lead, Ancer and Burgoon each birdied the par-4 18th in the final pairing in regulation. Ancer made a 30-footer, and Burgoon countered with a 10-footer.

Ancer earned $117,000 to jump from 39th to fourth on the money list with $192,945.

The former University of Oklahoma player tied for second in the Brazil Champions in March.

Burgoon is winless on the tour. The 28-year-old former Texas A&M player made $$70,200 to go from 43rd to 17th with $142,575.

Jason Allred, Travis Bertoni and D.H. Lee tied for third at 12 under. Allred shot a 64, Bertoni had a 68, and Lee a 69.

PGA EUROPEAN: Bernd Wiesberger of Austria came from

three shots back to win the French Open on Sunday, making five birdies on the front nine to take command as overnight leader Jaco Van Zyl faltered.

Wiesberger finished with a 6-under 65 to win by three shots ahead of James Morrison of England, who shot a 67. Van Zyl only managed a 73 to finish five shots behind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Someone will want to spend more time with you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead anyone on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to be honest. An old quarrel will be resolved if you make a point to clear the air.

BRIDGE â&#x2122;Ľâ&#x2122;Łâ&#x2122; â&#x2122;Ł

Noel Coward said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never trust men with short legs.

Brains too near their bottoms.â&#x20AC;?

At the bridge table, a playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s height is unimportant, but it is important to know what bids and plays you can trust â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially if that player is your partner.

In this deal, South was in four spades after a natural auction. However, if you and your partner employ New Minor Forcing (recommended), South would rebid two diamonds, which would guarantee at least gameinvitational values and ask opener for more information.

Here, North would continue with two spades (three-card support), and South would jump to four spades, hiding his heart suit.

West led the diamond ace and, after East encouraged with her 10, continued with another diamond.

South ruffed and played a trump. East won with her ace and led another diamond.

What should declarer have done?

It would have been best for South to discard a heart or club. Then, if East had persisted with a fourth diamond, declarer could have ruffed in the dummy, drawn trumps, and claimed.

However, South ruffed the diamond and cashed a trump to get the bad news.

She now went down, although she could have made the contract with excellent guesswork.

The curious may work it out.

Have you noticed the killing defense?

West must lead her singleton club.

Declarer wins in the dummy and plays a trump. East wins and returns her lowest club as a suitpreference signal for diamonds. West ruffs and trustingly leads a low diamond to her partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s king. Then a second club ruff defeats the contract.
