IRMC, Punxs’y, Clarion get go-ahead for hospital network

By The Indiana Gazette The Pennsylvania State Attorney General’s office announced it had no objections with the proposed affiliation of the Pennsylvania Mountains Care Network by Indiana Regional Medical Center, Clarion Hospital and Punxsutawney Area Hospital. The three organizations have been cleared to begin working collaboratively.

“It’s the beginning of a new day,” said Stephen Wolfe, president and CEO of IRMC, in a press release.

“This new network will help position three, locally owned community hospitals to remain that way for years to come while creating new opportunities for improved

health care for the people we serve.”

The three hospitals first announced plans for the affiliation in July 2014.

“This model is what we think is the road map for the continuing success of independent rural health care providers,” the three hospital CEOs said in a joint statement. “As founding members of the Pennsylvania Mountains Health Care Alliance (PMHA), we have an outstanding record of working collaboratively over the course of the last decade on sharing resources, developing new programs, pursuing grants and achieving significant cost reductions.”

PMHA was formed with a mission of helping community hospitals remain independent by improving efficiency through group purchasing, a health insurance pool, information technology initiatives and more.

The new Pennsylvania Mountains Care Network encompasses three hospitals with more than 2,200 employees, 200 physicians, hundreds of volunteers, an extensive primary care network, urgent care centers, extensive community services and combined net patient revenue of more than $220 million. The affiliation does not include the combination of assets and is not a merger, officials said.

Spacecraft delivers mankind our first up-close look at Pluto

By KENNETH CHANG

New York Times News Service

LAUREL, Md. — After a long day celebrating the arrival of NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft at Pluto and wondering about its fate while it was out of radio contact, mission controllers finally received confirmation Tuesday night that the spacecraft had performed its scientific tasks.

On schedule, at 8:52:37 p.m. Eastern time, a message from the spacecraft arrived at Mission Control at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.

“We are in lock with carrier,” said Alice Bowman, the missions operations manager. “Stand by for telemetry.”

And a few moments later, when she confirmed that data was coming down, cheers erupted Tuesday for the second time.

“And what that means, in layman terms, is that the spacecraft was happy.”

The first round of cheers came Tuesday morning, as a countdown clock for the closest Pluto approach, as calculated by mission scientists, ticked down to zero.

It was like New Year’s Eve. “We’re going to do our 109-8 thing, and you can get your flags out,” S. Alan Stern, the principal investigator for NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto, told the people gathered to mark the occasion. “We’re going Continued on Page 12

WHITE TOWNSHIP

By MARGARET WEAVER

WASHINGTON — To President Barack Obama, the historic nuclear accord with Iran is a validation of an arduous, politically fraught diplomatic gamble, one he foreshadowed before winning the White House and one that will shape his legacy long after he leaves.

The deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program may prevent Tehran from developing a bomb or being the target of U.S. military action during Obama’s presidency. But whether the agreement succeeds in stemming Iran’s nuclear ambitions after his tenure is a far murkier question.

The sheer amount of time and political capital Obama invested in the Iran talks has fueled speculation that he had too much at stake to walk away from the negotiating table, no matter the compromises in a final deal. Obama authorized secret talks with Iran in 2012, followed by nearly two years of formal negotiations alongside Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China. His rapprochement with Iran sent U.S. relations with Israel plummeting to near-historic lows and deepened tensions with Congress.

Even with the high-stakes implications of an Iranian nuclear program, the talks over time seemed to represent more than just the quest for a deal. They were a referendum on Obama’s belief that even America’s most ardent enemies can be brought in line Continued on Page 12

Fayette inmate serving life sentence sues over inability to marry

By JOE MANDAK Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — An inmate serving a life sentence at a western Pennsylvania correctional facility and his fiance are suing the prison superintendent and a county official, saying procedural issues are illegally keeping them from getting married.

Kevin Davis, 57, is housed at the State Correctional Institution at Fayette for a mur-

der he committed in Philadelphia in the 1970s. He got engaged to Norma Scott, who he has known for 40 years, in 2013.

Davis is suing the prison’s superintendent and Scott is suing the Fayette County register of wills in companion lawsuits filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh, the American Civil Liberties Union said.

The couple’s issue is that Pennsylvania law requires

both parties to appear in person to apply for a marriage license.

According to Davis’ lawsuit, other state prisons accommodate inmates who want to get married by either allowing a county employee to meet with the inmate in person or by allowing inmates to appear by video conferencing to apply for the license.

But SCI-Fayette administrators have told Davis that

BRADYS BEND (AP) — A Pennsylvania man was jailed and given psychiatric treatment after police said he showed up naked at his elderly neighbors’ home and beat them after they tried to help him.

Paul Chilcott, 56, of Eldred, faces a preliminary hearing July 22 on aggravated assault, open lewdness and other charges.

He remained jailed Tuesday for allegedly punching the man in the face then knocking the man’s wife to the floor. Police say both are 80 years old.

Police said that happened after Chilcott arrived Saturday morning naked and muttering about wanting to kill his wife. The couple covered Chilcott with a blanket and called 911 before he attacked. Police said the elderly man stopped Chilcott by hitting him in the head with a vase.

Kane awaits DA’s decision on charges

HARRISBURG (AP) — Rick Santorum is picking up some endorsements for his presidential campaign from leaders of the Republican majority in the state Legislature.

The former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania was joined Tuesday at a Harrisburg news conference by Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, House Majority Leader Dave Reed and House GOP caucus administrator Brian Ellis. They listed nine other Republican leaders who back Santorum, including House Speaker Mike Turzai.

Redman refused to comment on the lawsuit Tuesday, but the response from prison officials — or even who Davis should be suing — isn’t so clear.

From Our Family To Yours For Over 100 Years

BRIEFS HARRISBURG (AP) — Pennsylvania’s attorney general said Tuesday that prosecutors in the Philadelphia suburbs have not told her how soon they will decide whether to charge her in a grand jury leak investigation.

Attorney General Kathleen Kane said her defense lawyer met recently with people from the Montgomery County district attorney’s office, part of what she described as cooperation with the investigation.

She said the decision about charges rests with Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman.

Ferman is looking into the disclosure of information about a 2009 grand jury investigation for a story in the Philadelphia Daily News last year. She took over the case after a grand jury recommended in December that Kane be charged for allegedly engaging in a cover-up and lying about her role in the leak. Kane said that if she is charged, she does not plan to resign.

Meanwhile, Scott contends Register of Wills Donald Redman has refused to either travel to the prison or allow Davis to apply for the license through video conferencing.

ANTI-AUSTERITY DEMONSTRATORS shouted slogans today during a protest in central Athens.

Hostility rises in Greece as vote looms

By ELENA BECATOROS Associated Press

ATHENS, Greece — Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras faced a rising wave of hostility from members of his own party today ahead of a parliament vote on an austerity bill that condemns the country to years of spending cuts but is required to get a new bailout package.

The raft of consumer tax increases and pension reforms has led to growing anger among Greece’s governing left-wing Syriza party, while the country’s civil servants’ union voiced its objections with a 24-hour public sector strike.

The vote will almost certainly see large numbers of Syriza lawmakers dissent and vote against the package, raising questions of the government’s survival in its current form. The bill is expected to pass with votes in favor by pro-European opposition parties.

Alternate Finance Minister Nadia Valavani said she would not vote in favor of the bill, and resigned from her government seat.

In a letter she sent Tsipras on Monday morning and released by the finance ministry today, Valavani said she believed the tactics of the “dominant circles in Germany” was “the full humiliation of the government and the country.”

Tsipras agreed to a deal after a marathon 17-hour eurozone summit Monday morning.

It calls for Greece to pass new austerity measures his left-wing government had long battled against in return for the start of negotiations on a third bailout worth about 85 billion euros

in loans over three years.

The government, a coalition between Syriza and the small right-wing Independent Greeks, holds 162 seats in Greece’s 300-member Parliament. More than 30 of Syriza’s own lawmakers have publicly voiced objections.

Tsipras has acknowledged the measures he agreed to go against his election pledges to repeal austerity, and described them in a Tuesday night television interview as “irrational.”

But he said he had no option if he was to prevent Greece’s financial collapse.

The International Monetary Fund, which was involved Greece’s previous two bailouts and will also play a role in the third, has long advocated the country’s debt is too high and that any deal must include debt relief — something the Greek side has also insisted on.

In a report released late Tuesday, the IMF said Greece’s debt was now “highly unsustainable” and would reach “close to 200 percent of GDP in the next two years.”

The European Union’s executive Commission echoed that analysis today, saying there are “serious concerns” about the sustainability of Greece’s debt due to a worsening in the economy.

The Commission says in a report that its main forecasts are for debt to reach 165 percent of GDP in 2020, 150 percent in 2022 and 111 percent in 2030. In an ‘adverse’ scenario, in which the economy does worse than expected, the debt load would hit a massive 187 percent, 176 percent and 142 percent, respectively Tsipras has faced strident dissent even from top minis-

ters, with Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis saying in a post on his ministry’s website that the deal the prime minister reached was “unacceptable” and calling on him to withdraw it.

The bill was being passed through Parliament with emergency procedures and was debated at committee level this morning before heading to the full assembly in the evening.

The civil servants’ strike disrupted public transport and shut down state-run services across the country.

Pharmacies joined in with their own 24-hour strike to object to the austerity deal which will allow some nonprescription drugs to be sold by supermarkets.

Demonstrations were planned for this evening outside Parliament during the assembly debate.

“These laws will pass through parliament today, because they can’t do otherwise,” said private sector employee Eleni Sari, 45, as she walked through central Athens.

“Naturally, the people are furious, and they have not allowed them any choice.

Unfortunately it’s not in our hands anymore. That is, it’s no longer in the people’s hands. By necessity ... they will pass them in parliament, and by necessity we will bear their burden.”

Greeks continued to struggle with limits on cash withdrawals and transfers outside of the country. Banks were shut down June 29 and the finance ministry said they would remain closed through Thursday.

In his state television Tuesday night, the prime minister vowed he would not step down despite the

open dissent.

“I will not run away from my responsibilities,” he said.

He criticized the deal, but said it was the best Greece could get.

“The policies imposed on us were irrational,” Tsipras said.

“We faced a tough and punitive position from our partners ... But the (agreement) does offer a way out of the crisis.”

With its banks dangerously low on liquidity and the state practically out of cash, Greece desperately needs funds.

It faces a Monday deadline to repay 4.2 billion euros ($4.6 billion) to the European Central Bank, and is also in arrears on 2 billion euros to the IMF. Negotiations on the new bailout will take an estimated four weeks, leaving European finance ministers scrambling to find ways to get Athens some money sooner.

The European Commission has proposed to give Greece 7 billion euros in loans from a special fund overseen by all 28 EU nations so it can meet its upcoming debts. The loan would be made pending the start of a full bailout program, but faces resistance from Britain, a non-euro member of the EU. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew was traveling to Europe to confer with leaders about the Greek crisis, and was to meet today in Frankfurt with ECB chief Mario Draghi. On Thursday, he meets the German and French finance ministers.

Scientists claim discovery of new particles

By FRANK JORDANS Associated Press

BERLIN — A new kind of subatomic particle called the pentaquark has been detected for the first time, the European Organization for Nuclear Research said Tuesday.

The lab, known by its French acronym CERN, said the findings were made by a team of scientists working on the LHCb experiment, one of the four at its Large Hadron Collider.

The existence of pentaquarks was first proposed in the 1960s by American physicists Murray GellMann and Georg Zweig.

Gell-Mann, who received the Nobel Prize in 1969, coined the term “quark” to

describe the building blocks that make up hadrons — subatomic particles such as the proton and the neutron.

Until recently, only hadrons with two or three quarks had been found. In recent years, physicists have seen evidence of hadrons made up of four quarks, called tetraquarks.

Previous claims to the detection of pentaquarks, containing four quarks and an anti-quark, have been refuted. But experts said the new results from CERN, which have been submitted to the journal Physical Review Letters, appear credible.

“It is indeed compelling, in part because of the clarity of their experimental data, but also because I can’t find a viable alternative explana-

tion,” said Eric Swanson, a theoretical physicist at the University of Pittsburgh.

Swanson, who wasn’t involved with the LHCb experiment, said proof of the existence of pentaquarks would be a major boost for physics.

“Every particle we’re aware of, except for a few oddballs, is made up of quark and anti-quark, or three quarks.

That’s what builds up the mass of the universe, what makes you and me and the Earth and the sun,” he said.

“This, if verified, should be the beginning of a whole new form of matter.”

Guy Wilkinson, a spokesman for the LHCb experiment team, said studying pentaquarks may help scientists to better understand “how ordinary matter, the

protons and neutrons from which we’re all made, is constituted.”

The discovery would be the second major find at the Large Hadron Collider, which is used by physicists from around the world. The collider was instrumental in the discovery of the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle that had long been theorized but never confirmed until 2013.

The collider is housed in a 16.8-mile tunnel beneath the Swiss-French border near Geneva. It was recently given a $150 million upgrade that allows atoms to be smashed together with even greater force, allowing it to recreate conditions similar to those during the earliest moments of the universe.

Battery damage forces solar plane to stop

By CALEB JONES Associated Press

HONOLULU — A team trying to fly a solar-powered plane around the world said today it is suspending the journey in Hawaii after the plane suffered battery damage during its record-breaking flight to the islands.

The Solar Impulse team said in a news release that it will continue the attempt to circumnavigate the globe, but irreversible damage caused by overheating batteries has grounded the flight until at least April.

The batteries aboard Solar Impulse 2 overheated on the first day of its trip from Japan to Hawaii, and there was no way to cool down the

system, the team said. The company says there was no weakness with the technology, but the team didn’t anticipate temperature fluctuations associated with rapid altitude changes in a tropical climate.

Pilot Andre Borschberg and his single-seat aircraft landed at Kalaeloa, a small airport outside Honolulu, on July 3.

His voyage of nearly 118 hours from Nagoya, Japan, broke the record for the world’s longest nonstop solo flight, his team said.

“Solar Impulse is attempting a historic first of flying around the world only on solar energy,” the pilots said in a statement.

“And while Solar Impulse

has completed eight legs, covering nearly half of the journey, setbacks are part of the challenges of a project which is pushing technological boundaries to the limits.”

The wings of Solar Impulse 2, which stretch wider than those of a Boeing 747, are equipped with 17,000 solar cells that power propellers and charge batteries. The plane ran on stored energy at night.

The aircraft took off in March from Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, then made stops in Oman, Myanmar and China.

It then made an unplanned stop for nearly a month in Japan after high

winds damaged a wing.

The trans-Pacific leg was the riskiest part of the plane’s global travels, as there was nowhere for it to land in an emergency.

The plane’s ideal flight speed is about 28 mph, though that can double during the day when the sun’s rays are strongest.

The carbon-fiber aircraft weighs more than 5,000 pounds, or about as much as a minivan or midsize truck.

The airplane will be housed in a University of Hawaii hangar at the Kalaeloa airport on Oahu while repairs are made. The team says it will also research and test other cooling methods to prevent more overheating.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Charles Zebrosky.

A memorial service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Hilltop Baptist Church, 4859 Route 286, Indiana, with Pastor Jack Lucas officiating. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Keystone Cremation Alliance LLC., 1916 Moore Ave., North Apollo.

Elsie A. Warhol Kunst, 85, of Indiana, formerly of Mount Lebanon, peacefully passed away Sunday, July 12, 2015, at St. Andrew’s Village, Indiana.

The daughter of AustroHungarian immigrants, she was born Aug. 18, 1929, in Clairton, to the late William and Susanne Macey Warhol.

Mrs. Kunst graduated from Clairton High School in 1947 and later attended the Ad Art Studio School in Pittsburgh to pursue a career as a commercial artist. Following her marriage to Paul Kunst in 1952, she attended the Wilton School along with Pittsburgh Retail Baker’s classes for cake decorating.

For years she worked as the exceptionally talented cake decorator for the family business, Kunst Bakery, in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. She was an avid Pittsburgh sports fan, but her true passion was tending her garden. This love extended into creating a secret garden for her grandchildren. Mrs. Kunst was a member of St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Pittsburgh and a former member of the Order of the Eastern Star. She will be dearly missed by all.

She is survived by her husband of almost 63 years, Paul M. Kunst; her daughters, Lisa Kunst Vavro (Robert) and Gretchen Barbor (John); her

grandchildren, Peter Barbor and Katherine Barbor; her brother Edward Warhol; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sisters, Mary Warhol, Julia Hopkin and Margaret Charapko; and her brothers John Warhol, William “Washy” Warhol and Alex Warhol.

There will be no visitation.

Services are private and will be held at the convenience of the family. Interment will be in Jefferson Memorial Cemetery, Pittsburgh. RobinsonLytle Inc., Indiana, is in charge of arrangements.

Hospitals scramble to house patients during pope’s visit

By NATALIE POMPILIO Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Patients seeking long-term treatment at Philadelphia’s multitude of renowned specialty care centers might find no room at the inns this September, when a visit

by Pope Francis during the World Meeting of Families is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to the region.

Hospitals that rely on an organization that seeks to find housing for such patients or their families are wringing their hands under the added pressure to identify hosts for people who ordinarily could afford a hotel room. “Many of these patients cannot choose their time to have treatments,� said Rosana Tovar, a case worker at Shriners Hospital for Children. “Right now we’re trying to figure out for that time in September when we’ll have international patients and if we can help with accommodations.�

Shriners, which provides specialized care to children with orthopedic problems, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft palates, has no housing of its own to offer patient families. The only other inexpensive option is area Ronald McDonald houses, but the demand for their housing there is far greater than the supply, Tovar said.

Hosts for Hospitals, a nonprofit that matches patients needing treatment far from home with homeowners willing to take them in, needs to grow quickly, executive director Mike Aichenbaum said.

While Pope Francis will only be in the city for two days, Sept. 26 and 27, the global meeting that is bringing him is expected to also fill hotel rooms the week before his visit, as well. Aichenbaum hopes to double his organization’s base of 50 host families so sick people won’t have to postpone critical care. “When a family’s in crisis, to have someone say, ‘I don’t know you, but welcome to my home’ makes for a very profound experi-

ence for guests and hosts alike,� Aichenbaum said. “I’ve had many guests tell me that the program has helped restore their faith in humanity.�

Theresa Roberts, of Kalamazoo, Mich., spent most of June sharing the downtown Philadelphia home of Sue and Reinhard Kruse, paying Hosts for Hospitals $10 per night.

She spends most days receiving radiation therapy for an aggressive form of breast cancer at Thomas Jefferson University hospital. The Kruses are putting her up through Hosts for Hospitals. “If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be here right now,� said Roberts, 45.

Aichenbaum and Nancy Wimmer started the nonprofit Hosts for Hospitals in March 2000. Both have had health challenges that required out-of-town treatment that burdened their families with large out-ofpocket expenses.

Hosts for Hospitals works with patients of any age with any illness, unlike some other hospital housing programs. There is no limit on how many people can accompany the patient, and no limit on how long a family can stay. One host took in a family of seven with two brain-impaired children for 18 months.

Patients with intermittent needs — such as one day per week of treatment for a month — can also be accommodated.

Aichenbaum carefully matches patients with hosts, looking at personal preferences, personalities and possible problems.

When there’s an urgent need, Aichenbaum sends his hosts an email SOS. He usually finds a home within 48 hours.

Roberts will return to Philadelphia this month for a mastectomy. After that, she’ll visit every three months. The Kruses want her back. There’s something special about watching someone heal, Reinhard Kruse said. “When it’s over, you look into their eyes and they’re well,� he said. “That’s wonderful. That’s enough.�

Ex-Harrisburg mayor charged

By MARC LEVY and MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

HARRISBURG — The former mayor of Pennsylvania’s capital city was arrested Tuesday on corruption charges, including allegations he unlawfully used public money from various agencies to buy thousands of artifacts for what he claimed was a plan to open a Wild West museum and other historical attractions.

Former Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed, who served 28 years in office, obtained the money for the purchases by secretly diverting funds borrowed by municipal agencies and other entities for other purposes that later helped the debt-laden city careen toward bankruptcy, prosecutors said. “This diversion was actively hidden from investors and the city of Harrisburg,� Attorney General Kathleen Kane said at a Capitol news conference.

Reed, 65, faces hundreds of counts of theft and misapplication of government property, as well as charges of criminal solicitation, bribery and evidence-tampering.

Reed said he will fight the charges.

The former mayor spent diverted dollars on thousands of “artifacts and curiosities,� the attorney general’s office said, supposedly for museums that never opened.

The purchases included a life-size sarcophagus, antique firearms, a full suit of armor and a vampire hunting kit.

The attorney general’s office said it was still tabulating the total amount of illegally diverted money and the amount illegally spent, a

FORMER HARRISBURG Mayor Stephen Reed arrived Tuesday outside court for his preliminary arraignment at District Judge William Wenner’s offices in Lower Paxton Township. spokesman said.

Some of the money for the artifacts came from the more than $200 million borrowed for the renovation of the city’s aging and polluting municipal trash incinerator, prosecutors said.

The project contributed heavily to the near-financial collapse of the Susquehanna River city of about 49,000, where one-third of the residents live below the poverty line.

Other sources of money included Harrisburg’s impoverished schools and a minor league baseball team once owned by the city.

Following his arraignment, Reed insisted that he had served the city honorably and that he was “concerned that misperceptions and politics are very much intertwined in these accusations.�

His attorney, Henry E. Hockeimer Jr., said the charges “may be inspired more by political agendas than by a search for justice.�

When Reed became Harrisburg’s mayor in 1982, the shrinking, decaying city was

near total collapse — its department stores, theaters and trolleys were gone, replaced by vacant buildings and streets devoid of nightlife.

His dream was to transform it into a cultural “city of light.� Under Reed, hotels and restaurants sprouted in downtown and a minorleague baseball team began playing in a park that rose from a trash dump.

In 2001, Reed opened the National Civil War Museum on an abandoned reservoir overlooking the Capitol — even though none of the war’s major battles occurred in the city.

His aim of building the National Museum of the Old

West next to it stalled in 2004 after City Council members found out about his practice of taking taxpayer-paid trips to antique shops around the county to amass the collection. News of the purchases were met with derision — Harrisburg is 1,500 miles from Buffalo Bill’s grave in Golden, Colo. — and concern that the city was already staggering under the incinerator debt.

He also claimed to want to open museums dedicated to sports and African-American history.

But prosecutors cited testimony by a former mayoral aide who told grand jurors that the buying sprees seemed to be “a personal release for Reed, a sort of private hobby that made him happy and allowed him to feel relaxed. ... Reed developed a binge artifact buying ‘addiction’ that had a salutary effect on his mood� when he was depressed.

Reed’s administration later auctioned off some artifacts, but he also began to treat some of the artifacts as his own, Kane said.

The attorney general’s office said thousands of items were found in a recent search of his office and home, many in poor condition because of improper storage.

Reed once tried to sell at least 20 city-owned firearms on consignment, prosecutors said.

$36M to train 60 fighters?

little more than a year ago, President Obama asked Congress for $500 million to train and equip some 15,000 opposition fighters in Syria, arguing that the best way to defeat Islamic State terrorists was to arm local forces.

The war against Islamic State “will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil,” Obama promised.

“Instead, we must strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists.”

Last week, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter gave Congress a progress report. The training program is up and running, he said, and almost 7,000 Syrians have applied to join — but the total number of fighters trained comes to exactly 60.

Sixty? UCLA has more men on its football roster. That’s “not an impressive number,” Carter acknowledged.

Skeptics instantly did the arithmetic: If that’s all we get for $500 million, it comes to almost $9 million per fighter — and the trainees haven’t even made it onto the battlefield yet.

Actually, a Pentagon official said, only $36 million has been spent so far, and some of that includes start-up costs for a program that still aims for 15,000 trainees — just much more slowly than expected.

Still, the story of the Pentagon’s amazing shrunken training program — an idea that almost looked bold when Obama first proposed it — could serve as a metaphor for the whole of U.S. strategy in Syria: ambitious in its goals, but so risk-averse in design and so hamstrung in execution that it remains painfully inDoyle McManus is a columnist for effective.

Obama has called on Syrian President the Los Angeles Bashar Assad to step down since 2011, Times. His but has also ruled out any direct U.S. milcolumn is itary intervention against Assad’s regime. distributed by In 2012, he authorized covert CIA help to McClatchyinsurgents fighting Assad; but the U.S.Tribune News backed rebels said the aid was too little Service. and too late, and their organization collapsed this year.

Now Obama has made defeating Islamic State his top priority, but the ground force to wage that battle in Syria, where the terrorists have their main bases, doesn’t yet exist.

What’s holding up the training program? The Pentagon wanted to make sure no Islamic extremists slipped into the training pool, so it imposed a tough vetting process that scrutinized applicants one by one. Of the 7,000 applicants Carter mentioned, only about 1,700 have made it through the screening so far.

“The vetting has been truly glacial,” said Fred Hof of the Atlantic Council, a former Obama administration diplomat.

“The biggest fear is that one of these guys will show up in a picture with a three-foot beard, holding a U.S. antitank weapon and shouting ‘Allahu akbar.’ That’s understandable, but it makes it almost impossible to get from here to there.”

Another hitch: The Pentagon requires Syrian recruits to pledge that after their training, they would fight only against Islamic State — not against the government of Bashar Assad.

Administration lawyers imposed that rule, arguing that Congress hasn’t authorized military action against Assad. But for many Syrian rebels, it’s a deal-breaker.

“If you insist on working only with Syrians who won’t fight the Assad government, it’s very difficult to find able-bodied fighters,” said Robert S. Ford, a former U.S. ambassador to Syria.

Perhaps more troubling than these procedural problems is that, even if the Pentagon were able to reach its goal of training 5,000 fighters a year for the next three years, that might not be enough to dislodge Islamic State, which has as many as 32,000 fighters in Syria and Iraq according to CIA estimates.

It’s tempting, at this point, to say: So what? At least Obama’s cautious approach has kept U.S. forces out of harm’s way.

Only that’s not quite true; U.S. pilots are already flying combat missions over Syria every week.

And if those 60 newly trained Syrian recruits ever go into battle, Carter and other officials have said, the United States would feel a responsibility to protect them from annihilation — although no decision has been made as to how.

There’s also no guarantee that Syria’s civil war won’t get worse. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate hearing last week that Israel and Jordan are worried that Assad’s regime could soon collapse, sending Islamic State and Al Qaeda forces into “a foot race ... converging on Damascus.”

“I won’t sit here today and tell you that I have the answer to that,” Dempsey confessed.

Is there an alternative? Hof and others have proposed one: A much larger training effort, with less draconian restrictions.

In Hof’s view, the administration should be aiming at a force of 50,000, not 15,000 — and it should declare that the new force would be free to fight the Assad regime as well as Islamic State.

And instead of vetting rebels individually, Hof said, the United States should be willing to enlist insurgent groups already on the ground — even though they might include some former members of extremist factions. “If you aim for perfection, you’re not going to get anywhere,” he warned.

President Obama may have hoped to finish his last 18 months in office without facing more agonizing decisions about military action in Syria’s no-win civil war. But if he wants his campaign against Islamic State to succeed, he won’t have that luxury. doyle.mcmanus@latimes.com

should be all that matters in the hall of fame, which measures not a guy’s niceness but his statistics.

Besides, those who rule Major League Baseball continuously looked the other way when it came to chemical cheating.

Should the home run kings of the ’90s and early 2000s be admitted to the hall? Of course, they shouldn’t and hopefully won’t be. Their performances were bolstered by artificial, illegal drugs. Whatever records that chicanery produced should be stricken from the books.

Rose, on the other hand, relied on natural ability. The syringe as a means to fame came years after he had left the game. He was a pure player with a competitive attitude and skill like few others. He clearly belongs in the Cooperstown palace that honors and treasures its best. It would be easy to portray this street kid as an unrepentant, utterly undeserving roughneck hooligan.

But one could say that about half of those already installed in the hall.

Bart Giamatti, the former Yale president and then baseball commissioner, banned Rose from the sport in 1989 and then died a few days later of a heart attack. Whether the stress of it contributed to Giamatti’s early demise is sheer speculation. Rose’s lies obviously fueled his decision. Would Giamatti have been more compassionate had Rose told the truth? Who knows.

But isn’t 26 years of solitary confinement enough punishment? Isn’t it time for baseball to purge the ghost of “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and consider at least opening the door at Cooperstown to Rose based on his playing record? danthomasson@verizon.net

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The other side of reassessment story The Gazette’s coverage of Indiana County’s reassessment of real property last week emphasized the effect it would have on property owners, but from one side only. That may sell copies, because siding with the underdog and downtrodden is the populist method newspapers use to arouse public outcry.

The other point of view, that of those who have been overtaxed for many years on their property, received not a word of mention in either article on the reassessment in the July 5 edition. Perhaps that is due to the opinion of many who believe that those who pay more in taxes, whether income or property, can afford to pay more. That is a poor justification for overtaxing us all.

With the reassessment of Indiana County real estate, more people might

be motivated to object to the real cause of our high taxes. We are overspending on all levels of government, including the Indiana Area School District.

Basically, the higher-taxed parcels of real estate have been subsidizing the lower-taxed ones. This has amounted to a “free ride,” so to speak, for the lower-taxed parcels, who have enjoyed the benefit of overspending on our schools without having to pay for it.

It is true that the reassessment has resulted in a sharp increase in current valuation for tax purposes. But that also means for those property owners that they can cash out if they desire.

They will receive more than they paid for the property.

Most property owners won’t exercise that option. They will continue to complain of the unfairness of the reassess-

ment, when in fact there is more fairness to all property owners as a result.

The solution to our problem of high taxation will be for the taxpayers to demand lower levels of spending in our school system.

Why do we believe that a snack bar in our high school is even a consideration? We do not need four elementary schools when two will suffice. Why is it assumed that exorbitant salaries result in excellence in outcomes of our students when it clearly hasn’t?

Yes, the “free ride” for lower-taxed real estate is over in Indiana County.

When will we end the free ride for municipal, county and school entities?

Demand less, and you will spend less, and as a consequence, be taxed less.

County needs to fix flawed reassessment I attended the informal tax rally on the steps of the Indiana County Court House, and I appreciate that two of the commissioners were there to listen to their constituents. However, I do not appreciate what they have done to our county.

More specifically, I cannot tolerate what they are doing to the landowner, the farmer, some retirees on fixed incomes, or the working family/individual that bought a house because of the low taxes, fixed it up and are now being taxed out of the home they worked so hard to own.

The commissioners are trying to convince us that the property reassessment is only about being “fair.” I believe that the real reason is this: Back in 2012, the commissioners had reached their maximum millage of 25 mills for the general fund. They were limited to

25 mills under the state’s County Code.

They were not able to increase taxes without petitioning the court.

This was a real dilemma for them. So, here’s the magic question: What can reduce millage rates without reducing the amount of taxes you collect? You guessed it: reassessment!

The “golden lining” of reassessment is that while it does not generate more tax revenue, it “resets” the millage rates to much less than what they are now.

This does not benefit the taxpayer, but it certainly benefits the commissioners.

The county’s millage rate will drop far below the 25 mill mark, so they will no longer be at the “ceiling,” they’ll be at the “floor” … nowhere to go but up.

And each mill will be worth far more than it is now, generating much more “revenue” than ever before. Only what

they’ll gain is what you’ll lose.

This reassessment is the equivalent of “bait and switch,” which is a form of fraud.

A fair property tax is one that you knew you were going to pay when you purchased or built your property. Expecting taxpayers to instantly pay double, triple, quadruple, five times, 10 times more in taxes when they will have no change in income is not right.

The commissioners did this, and according to Commissioner Ruddock, they are the ones with the power to fix it.

Let us hope that they commit to fixing it because it’s the right thing to do and restore some faith in a government that should be of the people, by the people and for the people.

2nd company eyed in air bag case DETROIT (AP) — The problem of exploding air bags could be widening beyond Japanese manufacturer Takata Corp.

U.S. safety regulators are investigating inflators made by ARC Automotive Inc. that went into about 420,000 older Fiat Chrysler Town and Country minivans and another 70,000 Kia Optima midsize sedans.

The probe, revealed in documents posted Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, comes just weeks after Takata agreed to recall 33.8 million inflators in the U.S. in the largest automotive recall in American history.

At least eight people have been killed worldwide by flying shrapnel from Takata inflators, and more than 100 injured.

Iraq gets back antiquities BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s antiquities minister says the Baghdad National Museum has gotten back nearly 500 artifacts recovered by U.S. Army commandos during a recent raid in Syria targeting the Islamic State group.

Minister Adel Fahad Sharshab pledged that authorities will recover all missing artifacts.

He spoke today as the recovered pieces were on display.

Many of the artifacts were stolen during the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq when the Baghdad museum was looted.

They eventually fell into the hands of IS extremists and were smuggled out of Iraq into Syria but the timing and details of that remain unknown.

Arab world worries over deal

By ADAM SCHRECK and LEE KEATH Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The nuclear deal with Iran was met with a profound wariness in the Arab world, where concerns are widespread that the easing of its international isolation could tip the already bloody contest for power in the region toward Shiite-led Tehran.

Arab countries have deep fears of Iran gaining a nuclear weapon, and some have been skeptical that a deal will prevent that from happening.

But equally high for key Sunni-dominated Gulf allies of the United States is the worry that a deal gives Iran the means — through an economic windfall — and an implicit green light to push influence in the region.

The Arab world has been polarized for years in a worsening proxy conflict between Iran and Gulf powers, particularly Saudi Arabia, fueling Sunni-Shiite tensions and stoking wars. In Syria, Iran’s support has ensured the survival of President Bashar Assad against Sunni rebels backed by Gulf nations in a devastating civil war, now in its fifth year. Yemen has been torn apart this year as Saudi Arabia, leading a coalition air campaign, has tried to help fend off Shiite rebels supported by Tehran. In Iraq, Saudi Arabia has opposed the growing power of Iran even since the 2003 ouster of Saddam Hussein and the rise of a government led by Shiite politicians close to Iran.

“Deal or no deal, tension in the re-

gion is not going to go away,” said Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, a professor of political science at United Arab Emirates University. “If Iran is bent on acting as a hegemon, as a regional power, I think we are in for some difficult times.”

Saudi Arabia issued a pointed warning, saying Iran must use any economic gains from the lifting of sanctions to improve the lives of Iranians, “rather than using them to cause turmoil in the region, a matter that will meet a decisive reaction from the nations of the region,” in a statement carried on the state news agency late Tuesday.

Other Gulf monarchies sought to show some cautious optimism. The president of the United Arab Emirates, which has longstanding trade ties to Iran, and the emir of Kuwait, who visited Tehran last year in an effort to improve relations, each sent congratulations to Iran and expressed hope the agreement will contribute to regional security and stability.

On the nuclear issue itself, Arab countries have shown skepticism that a deal would stop Iran from building a weapon. In its statement Tuesday, Saudi Arabia withheld judgment on the final accord, but underlined it always wanted an agreement that guarantees Iran cannot develop a bomb, includes a strict inspection mechanism for all sites — including military ones — and ensures a swift re-imposition of sanctions if Tehran violates the deal.

Saudi Arabia’s former intelligence

chief, Prince Turki al-Faisal, warned earlier this year that a deal might fuel a regional arms race.

Egypt’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Badr Abdelattie, said his country hopes the deal would be “a step toward a region free of nuclear weapons”— a project Egypt has been lobbying for in the United Nations for long, with its eyes on Israel’s all but confirmed arsenal.

But foremost on the minds of Iran’s opponents in the region was the worry that the deal strengthens its hand in the region’s conflicts.

“This agreement, from our point of view, represents an indirect threat to Gulf and Arab interests and peace,” said Tariq Al-Shammari, a Saudi analyst and president of the Council of Gulf International Relations.

Behind the scenes, he said, Gulf Arab countries will work to try and keep Iran isolated politically and economically, he added, pointing out that Saudi Arabia in particular has already moved to improve ties with Russia, which is a strong ally of Iran.

Syrian rebels were alarmed, warning that now Iran will feel free to infuse even more cash and weapons to prop up Assad’s overstretched army.

“This agreement translates into more barrel bombs, more massacres and more blood across Syria,” said a rebel with the Islamic al-Jabha alShamiya faction in northern Syria who spoke on condition he be identified by his nom de guerre of Abu Yasser, for his own safety. Barrel bombs are the crude but destructive bombs dropped from Syrian military

Two teens killed in driver’s ed car WARWICK, N.Y. (AP) — A truck slammed into a driving lessons car in a rural intersection on Tuesday, killing two 16-year-old high school students and injuring two others and their instructor.

Five people were in the 2007 Chevrolet Malibu, owned by Middletown’s Decat Driving School, police said: the 60-year-old instructor in the front passenger seat, a 16-year-old girl at the wheel and three 16-year-old boys in the backseat.

All were wearing seat belts, police said.

A westbound Freightliner truck owned by Never Stop Transport, of Port Jervis, hit the rear driver’s side door of the car in the intersection when the car pulled into its path, Warwick police Lt. Thomas Maslanka said.

The car had a stop sign and a flashing red light, and the truck, which wasn’t pulling a trailer, had a flashing yellow caution light, he said.

Dirty snow pile finally melts away BOSTON (AP) — The last of Boston’s winter nightmare has finally melted away.

Mayor Martin Walsh announced Tuesday that Boston’s once-massive pile of filthy snow has officially dwindled to nothing.

The pile accumulated into a 75-foot tower of snow after a record-breaking winter that dumped more than 110 inches on the city.

The mound made Bostonians shiver into the summer, but not because of the temperature: It was laden with more than 80 tons of garbage, transforming it into a repulsive trash heap as the snow melted.

Officials say two snowstorms struck after residents put their trash out, and it got swept up by plows.

The persistent pile prompted Walsh to hold a contest for who could guess when it would melt.

He’ll announce the winners today.

aircraft that have caused considerable civilian casualties.

He said an Iran at peace with the international community will feel “even more at ease” to implement its agenda across the region, including in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

On the pro-government side in Syria, some had the same expectation. Bassam Mahfouz, a 54-year-old resident of the capital, Damascus, said he hoped Iran will now increase its support for Syria in the fight against “terrorism.

Assad was quick to congratulate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani. In his cable addressed to Khamenei, Assad described the deal as “a great victory” achieved by Iran and a “historic turning point” in the history of Iran, the region and the world.

“We are quite assured that the Islamic Republic of Iran will continue, with greater momentum, supporting the just issues of nations,” he said.

President Barack Obama acknowledged Tuesday that the U.S. and Iran remain at odds over many issues, including Tehran’s support for terrorism in the Middle East and its detention of several American citizens.

Still, he suggested a breakthrough on the nuclear issue could pave the way for a broader shift in relations between the U.S. and Iran.

“This deal offers an opportunity to move in a new direction,” Obama said. “We should seize it.”

Supporters of the deal see that opening as an opportunity to try to moderate Iran’s role in the region.

RESIDENTS OF a mobile home park looked for belongings Tuesday after deadly flooding in Flat Gap, Ky.

2 dead, 6 missing in Ky. floods as heavy storms strike again

By BRUCE SCHREINER and DAVID STEPHENSON Associated Press

FLAT GAP, Ky. — Doris Hardin watched the water rise from the window of her mobile home in rural Johnson County. Her lights flickered off then her neighbor banged on the door, shouting for her to flee.

She ran for her car but it was already gone.

“I grabbed my keys and my purse and went out to get my car and it was floating down the creek.”

The floodwaters rising around Hardin Monday afternoon killed one man and one woman, left six more missing and sent rescue crews to comb the hilly Appalachian terrain Tuesday, as the threat of more floods bore down on rescue efforts.

Authorities called off the search about 8 p.m. Tuesday, with plans to resume this morning.

The water swept up Hardin’s trailer, her two cats still inside, and smashed it into a growing heap of mangled debris: other wrecked cars, snapped trees, downed power lines and mobile homes.

“One started and then they all just

followed, and started piling into each other,” she said.

Kevin Johnson last saw his son wading through the rushing water with his 74-year-old grandmother on his back.

Scott Johnson had already saved his father, his uncle and sister. The 34-year-old returned to their cluster of trailers for his grandmother and teenage nephew and started to carry them to higher ground. As the flood raged out of control, he wedged his nephew into a high tree before the water washed him and the grandmother away.

The grandmother, Willa Mae Pennington, was found dead Tuesday among debris from their shattered mobile homes, Johnson County Coroner J.R. Frisby confirmed. Scott Johnson remains among the missing. The nephew survived.

Herman Eddie May Sr., 65, was also killed, Frisby said. He was driving alone in a sport-utility vehicle when floodwaters from the Patterson Creek started to sweep him away. He drowned after he got out and was swallowed by the rising water.

Emergency personnel in the hard-

est-hit neighborhoods struggled with the debris and difficult communication as they went door-todoor Tuesday, searching for those who might be trapped in their homes, Kentucky State Police Trooper Steven Mounts said.

Like Scott Johnson’s nephew, others were also rescued from trees, Price said.

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear declared a state of emergency to give local officials immediate access to state resources to assist in recovery efforts.

The search area stretches more than 8 rugged miles, from the town of Flat Gap south to Staffordsville — an area with 500 homes and 1,200 residents about 120 miles east of Lexington, police said at a Tuesday morning news conference. Authorities estimate more than 150 homes were destroyed.

Authorities worried that the muddy, rushing creek, still swollen Tuesday, had not finished its destruction.

A strong thunderstorm was passing through the area Tuesday evening, dumping heavy rain and lashing the area with high winds.

Afghan Taliban leader backs peace talks

By RAHIM FAIEZ Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — The reclusive Afghan Taliban leader has backed peace talks with the Kabul government, saying in a rare message distributed to media today that the goal of these efforts is an “end to occupation” by foreign forces.

Mullah Mohammad Omar’s message was released ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. In the statement, he also urged Muslim leaders of the world

to unite and pledged to continue holy war, or jihad, until foreign troops leave Afghanistan.

He made no specific mention of the first face-to-face Kabul-Taliban talks that were hosted by Pakistan earlier this month.

The talks, supervised by U.S. and Chinese representatives, were said to have made progress, with the two sides agreeing to work on confidence-building measures and hold more such meetings after Ramadan.

The talks came after several informal contacts between the Taliban

and Afghan government representatives, most recently in Qatar and Norway.

But during and immediately after the July 7 meeting near Islamabad, it was not clear whether the Taliban representatives who attended had the green light from Mullah Omar or the insurgents’ political office in Qatar, which was specifically set up to work toward a peace deal.

Also, there have been differences among the Taliban over the talks in the past.

Today’s message appeared to be Mullah Omar’s endorsement.

LOS ANGELES — The police dashboard cameras that captured officers shooting Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino only depict part of the tragedy of his death in a Los Angeles suburb two years ago.

Video released by a federal judge Tuesday after news media organizations argued the public had a right to see the footage showed Diaz-Zeferino disobeying orders to keep his hands up, but with his palms open by his waist.

Judge Stephen V. Wilson unsealed the video so the public could see what led the city of Gardena to pay $4.7 million to settle a lawsuit with Diaz-Zeferino’s family and another man wounded in the shooting that followed a botched report of a bicycle theft early the morning of June 2, 2013.

Against a backdrop of intense public scrutiny of police shootings nationwide, a lawyer for The Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg argued the videos should be unsealed under a First Amendment right to access court documents.

“The Associated Press, joining with other news organizations, believes it’s important that the public has access to videos like this to better understand the actions of their police officers,” spokesman Paul Colford said.

The ruling comes amid public debates over what footage should be made public as police officers and cruisers are increasingly equipped with cameras to capture evidence that can be used against criminals or to hold officers accountable for their own behavior.

Michael Overing, a lawyer and journalism professor at the University of Southern California, said that in addition to being cited in future court arguments the ruling could help provide guidance as lawmakers grapple with those issues.

“Right now video is being suppressed,” Overing said. “This is going to help open the floodgates so the public can see it ... and see if actions are justified.”

Gardena was joined by police chiefs and officer groups around the state in arguing that making such videos public would dissuade cities from employing the technology.

Wilson said that was a political consideration and not for him to judge.

The city of Gardena argued that releasing the footage would create a “rush to judgment” about the officers’ behavior, but Wilson dismissed that idea during arguments Monday. The judge said the public may see the videos and conclude the shooting was justified, which is what prosecutors decided.

Footage shows the final moments of the encounter as an officers yells, “Get your hands up.”

Diaz-Zeferino and two other men stand with their backs to a sidewalk and arms in the air.

Diaz-Zeferino, who was drunk, then lowered his hands and slowly took about five small steps toward police. He spread his arms out with palms open as if to plead with them. Told to put them back up, he complied, then removed his ball cap and lowered his hands as shots were fired.

A year later, MH17 relatives grieve, wait for answers

By MIKE CORDER Associated Press

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands — On their son Bryce’s birthday this year, Silene Fredriksz-Hoogzand and her husband Rob went to a Dutch air base, watched pall bearers solemnly unload seven coffins from a military cargo plane and wondered if they contained parts of the remains of Bryce or his girlfriend Daisy Oehlers.

For many families of the 298 people killed when Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was brought down July 17 last year over eastern Ukraine, uncertainty and agonizing waiting is still woven into the fabric of life a year later. “Your world stops with a bang,� Silene said at her home in Rotterdam, where flowers and mementos to Bryce and Daisy still dominate the living room. The couple’s bedroom is still the same disorderly mess it was the day they left for a vacation to Bali. “Everything around you continues. You try to participate, but it’s just hard.�

As if waiting for remains of loved ones were not bad enough, families also still have not received conclusive answers to many questions about the crash: Who brought down the plane? Will the perpetrators ever face justice? Why was the Boeing 777 heading from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur even flying over a war zone?

International investigators say it will be October before they publish the official cause of the crash. A Dutchled criminal investigation into the downing won’t be done until the end of the year — adding to family frustrations. “I understand their impatience. They want to know exactly what happened. They want answers,� said Fred Westerbeke, the prosecutor leading the criminal probe. “Many big criminal investigations do take a lot of time and because of all the circumstances this investigation is not an easy one.�

The criminal investigation is focusing on a BUK surfaceto-air missile downing MH17 as the most likely scenario but is also working to rule out other possible causes.

The Dutch Safety Board said in a preliminary report that the plane was hit by multiple high-energy objects, a conclusion experts said bears the hallmarks of a missile strike.

Ukraine blames Russianbacked separatist rebels, Moscow blames Ukraine.

Countries who lost citizens in the disaster are trying to establish a United Nations tribunal to prosecute any suspects eventually identified.

Rob Fredriksz fears economic and geopolitical interests may be part of the delay. “They’re operating too carefully. A bit scared,� he said. “I think it’s politically too sensitive.�

Along with the impatience, there is understanding from

JOSHUA PAUL/Associated Press

DIYANA YAZEERA, 16, leaned recently on the work uniform of her mother, who was the chief flight attendant aboard the ill-fated MH17. some relatives.

James Rizk, a 22-year-old real estate agent from the Australian city of Melbourne, is confident that the slow but methodical international investigations will eventually mean that the killers of his parents, Albert and Maree Rizk will face justice. “I’ve got confidence in our government. They’re doing a good job and I believe they’re on the right track at the moment,� Rizk said. “It’s just one of those things that can’t happen overnight.�

The disaster was a second and tragically familiar blow to the extended family in only four months. Maree Rizk’s stepmother Kaylene Mann lost a brother, Rod

Burrows, and sister-in-law, Mary Burrows, on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which is thought to have plunged into the Indian Ocean on March 8. That plane and all its 238 passengers and crew remain missing. The reasons for their disappearance are a mystery.

At least James Rizk did not have to wait too long for his parents’ bodies to return home.

They were the first of the 38 Australian permanent residents and citizens killed on Flight 17 to be repatriated, six weeks after MH17 was shot down.

Others have had a hard period of uncertainty. Evert van Zijtveld buried only partial

remains of his 18-year-old son Robert-Jan and 19-yearold daughter Frederique in December. “You can’t keep saying ‘I’m not going to do anything,’� he said. “We got something back — small as it was — so we gave it a place. The graveyard is close to our home.�

But since the funeral, later Dutch missions to recover human remains from the scorched crash site in eastern Ukraine have returned with more fragments of the teenagers, confirmed through DNA analysis by a team that has, in the year since the crash, positively identified remains of all but two of the people killed on MH17.

Now “we don’t know what to do. It’s very difficult to make the decision to open the grave to add pieces of bone,� Van Zijtveld said.

On Friday, families will gather again, as they did in the shocked days immediately after the disaster, and hold commemorations.

James Rizk is going to the Australian capital, Canberra, where lawmakers are interrupting their six-week midyear break for a memorial that includes the unveiling of a plaque in the House of Representatives garden listing the names of all 298 victims.

The family will then fly from Canberra 480 kilometers (300 miles) to Melbourne for commemorations at their

beloved Sunbury Football Club the following day. James Rizk plays at the Aussie rules football club, where his father was a committee member and his mother volunteered in the canteen. Albert and Maree Rizk will be remembered with a plaque on a grandstand to be built within the next year.

Families will also gather Friday in the Netherlands.

Among them will be relatives

of Malaysia Airlines flight attendant Dora Shahila Kassim, who will fly in from Kuala Lumpur.

Diyana Yazeera, Kassim’s 16-year-old daughter, hugged a pillow and sobbed as she recalled growing up with her divorced mother. “She was not just my mother but my father, my best friend,� she said at her family’s home. “I don’t know how I am going to live without her.�

Authorities examining drug lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escape tunnel

By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN Associated Press

former head of Immigration and Customs Enforcementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homeland Security Investigations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the boss, you probably put that on high speed,â&#x20AC;? he said.

If anyone was capable of pulling off such a feat, it was Guzman, who is believed to have at least a quarter-century of experience in building large, sophisticated tunnels to smuggle drugs under the U.S.-Mexico border and to escape from hideouts as authorities closed in.

His cartel also has been most successful in co-opting officials, said Edgardo Buscaglia, an organized crime expert at Columbia University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By far they are the most infiltrated in Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government institutions,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Experts express skepticism that such an engineering project could go on undetected.

Joe Garcia, who retired this year as interim special agent in charge of U.S. Homeland Security Investigations in San Diego, has extensive experience in tunnel investigations. He said the tunnel at Altiplano was longer than any passage ever found on the U.S.-Mexico border.

To pull off such a feat, rescuers likely had intelligence on the prison even before Guzman was arrested, Dinkins said.

Designers and workers would have needed access to sensitive information such as prison floor plans and alarm and camera systems. And just the noise alone as they bored the final 30-foot vertical shaft directly under the prison to reach Guzmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cell would have generated some attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just like someone took a couple tools, shovels and pickaxes. This is a very sophisticated operation,â&#x20AC;? said Alonzo Pena, a former senior official at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How could they be there and not hear that construction was going on underneath? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just impossible.â&#x20AC;?

A MOTORCYCLE adapted to a rail is shown under the half-built building where drug lord Joaquin â&#x20AC;&#x153;El Chapoâ&#x20AC;? Guzman made his escape Tuesday through a tunnel from the Altiplano maximum security prison in Almoloya, west of Mexico City.

We provide that balance.

Ĺś

ALMOLOYA, Mexico â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Joaquin â&#x20AC;&#x153;El Chapoâ&#x20AC;? Guzman, the most wanted of Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug lords, would have breezed along the mile-long tunnel dug just for him on a specially modified motorcycle or one of the two carts it pushed on two steel rails.

A visit on Tuesday by journalists to the tunnelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exit in an unfinished barn near the prison that held Guzman provided a look at the last few yards that the leader of the Sinaloa cartel traversed to make his second escape from a Mexican maximumsecurity lockup.

Tracks guiding the modified motorcycle end two or three steps from the base of a wooden ladder with 17 rungs that he would have scrambled up. The air in the tunnel is warm and humid and fine dust coats everything.

Reaching the top, a step leads into a small basement dominated by a blue generator as big as a compact car.

Then it is six strides to another ladder.

One, two, three steps up.

The air thins. The temperature drops 10 degrees.

Four. Five. Six, the last rung. One more step and Guzman stood on the dusty floor of the barn, where the digging crew had left 4-inch by 4-inch wooden beams, 8foot-tall coils of steel mesh, gallons of hydraulic fluid, 10foot lengths of PVC pipe and an electric disc saw.

Seven strides and the man who Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government said would not repeat his 2001 prison escape stepped through a sliding steel door into the chilly night on the high plain west of the capital.

For the first time since his latest capture, on Feb. 22, 2014, Guzman was a free man.

Authorities also released surveillance video of Guzmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last moments in prison. A recording by a camera in his cell shows him walking to the bed, where he sits and appears to change his shoes.

He then walks to the shower and toilet area, behind a low dividing wall of about waist height, and simply disappears. Another video filmed after the escape shows the gaping square hole cut into what appears to be the floor of the shower.

The ingenuity and audacity of the caper was breathtaking.

Buy a piece of land a mile from Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most secure prison, but in the middle of farm fields. Throw up a shoddy, concrete block structure that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look out of place.

Build a wall to hide the dirt.

Get to work.

Experts have said the tunnel would have been more than a year in planning and building. The digging would have caused noise. The entrance was in a place beyond the view of security cameras at Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest prison.

They also said it was clear the escape by Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful drug lord must have involved inside help on a grand scale.

Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong conceded as much Monday night.

He announced that three prison officials had been fired, including Valentin Cardenas, director of the Altiplano prison 55 miles west of Mexico City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had something or a lot to do with what happened, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we made that decision,â&#x20AC;? Osorio Chong said.

Still, he did not say who exactly is suspected of aiding the escape. Nor did he talk about rooting out the kind of corruption that led to the escape.

Osorio Chong said the tunnel was about 62 feet below the surface and he called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-techâ&#x20AC;? breach of the prisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive security measures, which include 750 cameras and 26 security filters.

A tunnel of such sophistication â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with lights, air venting, and the customized motorcycle rigged up on a rail line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would normally take 18 months to two years to complete, said Jim Dinkins,

Obama seeking shorter sentences for nonviolent convicts

By JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Calling it an issue America canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to ignore, President Barack Obama laid out an expansive vision Tuesday for fixing the criminal justice system by focusing on communities, courtrooms and cellblocks. He announced a federal review of the use of solitary confinement and urged Congress to pass a sentencing reform bill by yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end.

In a speech to the NAACPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual convention, Obama also called for voting rights to be restored to felons who have served their sentences, and said employers should â&#x20AC;&#x153;ban the boxâ&#x20AC;? asking job candidates about their past convictions. He said long mandatory minimum sentences now in place should be reduced â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or discarded entirely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In far too many cases, the punishment simply doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit the crime,â&#x20AC;? Obama told a crowd of 3,300 in Philadelphia. Low-level drug dealers, for example, owe a debt to society, but not a life sentence or 20-year prison term, he said.

With his speech to the prominent African-American advocacy group, Obama sought to put a spotlight on the need for new legislation as he mounted a weeklong push on criminal justice reform. A day earlier, Obama commuted the sentences of 46 nonviolent drug offenders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most commutations a president has issued on a single day in at least four decades.

Upon arriving Tuesday in Philadelphia, Obama met with a number of former prisoners to discuss their experience re-entering society, the White House said. And on Thursday, Obama plans to put a personal face on the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mushrooming prison population with a visit El Reno Federal Correctional Institution outside of Oklahoma City â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first visit to a federal prison by a sitting U.S. president.

The assertive moves reflected a president eager to wield his executive power during his waning years in office to reduce harsh sentences, cut costs and correct disparities he said have dis-

Earlier in his presidency, as he spent his political capital carefully on major domestic priorities, Obama spoke cautiously and only intermittently about the need for smarter sentencing and other justice changes.

But as of late, public attention has been piqued by a series of upsetting incidents across the country. In places

like Baltimore, New York and Ferguson, Mo., tensions between law enforcement and their communities have spilled out into the open, underscoring longstanding concerns among minority communities that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treated differently in the criminal justice system.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;murderers, predators, rapists, gang leadersâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; yet he said that in too many instances, law enforcement is treating young black and Latino men differently than their white peers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not just anecdotal.

This is not just barbershop talk,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The White House said Obama wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to commute more sentences in the coming months if the circumstances were right. Yet Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to address the problem unilaterally is limited, as the White House readily concedes. So Obama has set his sights on the kind of comprehensive fix that only Congress can provide.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The statistics cannot be ignored. We cannot close our eyes anymore,â&#x20AC;? Obama said.

Working in Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor: tentative but optimistic signs of common ground between Republicans and Democrats.

Republicans in particular have spoken with growing enthusiasm about the need for structural change. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has been working on legislation that could reduce some mandatory minimums. Republican Sen. John Cornyn, of Texas, and Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, of Rhode Island, are backing a bill that would steer lowerrisk inmates into programs

h s i r Che mer m u S

where they could earn earlier release by participating in recidivism-reduction programs.

In another positive sign for the prospects of justice reform, a number of 2016 presidential candidates have taken an active interest in the issue.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has mounted a vocal push to restore voting rights to nonviolent felons who have served their terms and to make it easier for people with criminal records to get jobs. Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., planned to give a speech Thursday in the troubled city of Camden focusing on nonviolent drug offenders.

Schumer and Hader shine in bawdy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trainwreckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By LINDSEY BAHR

dorky guy (Mike Birbiglia) with a sweet dorky son (Evan Brinkman). Amy pokes fun at them with caustic abandon.

Were it not for the great performances from Larson and Birbiglia, the ongoing finger-pointing at Kimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boring life might just come across as mean. Instead, they just accept Amy (with an eye roll).

Amy is a true jerk. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selfish. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rude. And she knows it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting line that the movie skirts for the duration and a testament to Schumer that this mostly unlikable character remains enjoyable to watch.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is fun, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not nice or thoughtful. Nor does she want to be.

All this makes it particularly odd that for about 75 percent of the movie this freewheeling character is not only in a relationship, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a relationship with a really, truly nice guy.

Amyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editor (an excellent, unrecognizable Tilda Swinton) assigns her to profile a successful sports doctor, Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;nuff,â&#x20AC;? a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maga-

AP Film Writer

Women can be jerks, too.

Everyone knows that.

And yet in the movies, the female schmuck is generally relegated to side characters.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a friend. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a villain.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never the heroine.

In the outdated rulebook of who we get to see on the big screen, leading ladies need to be likable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that tiresome, comedy-killing characteristic.

Thank goodness, then for Amy Schumer, the paradigm-busting, enfant terrible whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there to snap us out of our malaise with one rowdy gal: Amy. Her vehicle, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trainwreck,â&#x20AC;? written by and starring Schumer, luxuriates in the idea of selfishness while shifting our antiquated ideas of what we want from a female lead, because, most importantly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very funny.

Bawdy, brash and beaming with confidence in every mistake, Amy does not suffer fools gladly or suitors at all.

As a young girl, her good time Charlie father (Colin Quinn) instills in her the idea that monogamy is impossi-

It becomes her mantra. We meet up with her 23 years later, boozing and sleeping her way through Manhattan.

Well, not sleeping. She never

sleeps over at a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place or lets them stay at hers.

Amy is pro-pleasure, antiromance, and just a â&#x20AC;&#x153;modern chick who does what she wantsâ&#x20AC;? in gold lamĂŠ miniskirts. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a self-satisfied mess.

Her sister Kim (Brie Larson) has chosen a different route, marrying a sweet,

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trainwreckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rated: R for strong sexual content, nudity, language and some drug use Running time: 125 minutes Rating: â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; zine with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Viceâ&#x20AC;? bite.

They meet, click, and get down to business after a drunken night out.

Pretty soon, and without much of a fight, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re subway kissing, Brooklyn Bridge-gazing, Central Park carriage-riding, and engaging in other cheesy rom-com tropes that are overlaid with a snarky, self-conscious voiceover from Amy. The biggest surprise about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trainwreckâ&#x20AC;? is how conventional Amyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arc actually is.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an eyebrow-raiser that might seem like even more of a cop-out if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the

magnificent Bill Hader, charming and hilarious even in this straightforward role.

LeBron James is a comedic revelation, too, playing himself as a romantic-at-heart best friend to Dr. Conners.

With â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trainwreck,â&#x20AC;? director Judd Apatow has triumphantly exited the depressive bubble that he found himself in with the earnest but flawed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funny Peopleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is 40.â&#x20AC;?

But, much like those films, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trainwreckâ&#x20AC;? feels overlong.

The meandering third act brings the energy to a near halt, as the film veers into self-reflection territory.

It also has one of the limpest movies within a movie ever.

And then Apatow sticks the landing with one of the most delightful, side-splitting closings since he â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let the Sunshine Inâ&#x20AC;? in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 40-Year-Old Virgin.â&#x20AC;?

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for something radical, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be best to stick with Schumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trainwreckâ&#x20AC;? is just good fun, and a lot of it at that.

Obama legacy on Iran unclear Continued from Page 1 by wielding diplomacy and economic pressure instead of military might.

“It represents the core of who he is and what his presidency stands for,” said Julianne Smith, a former Obama White House and Pentagon official. “He needs it to validate that approach.”

With the deal now in hand, one of Obama’s top priorities is selling its virtues to skeptical lawmakers and world leaders, as well as the American public. He spent much of Tuesday calling leaders in Europe and the Middle East. He planned to discuss the deal in a news conference today, while dispatching Vice President Joe Biden to Capitol Hill to meet with Democrats.

Senior U.S. officials say Obama is sensitive to the perception he was desperate for a deal.

With big gaps remaining as a June 30 deadline neared for a final agreement, officials said the president urged his team to send clear messages to Iran both publicly and privately that the U.S. was ready to end the talks without a deal.

“He did not want people to have the impression that this is something we needed to have,” one official said, adding that Obama was frequently among the most pessimistic members of his national security team about the prospects of a deal.

Officials also pointed to a video conference Obama convened with Kerry and other negotiators last week as an example of his willingness to forgo a deal.

With momentum for an agreement building in Vienna and a deadline to limit congressional oversight looming, officials said Obama essentially rejected the deal at hand because timetables for keeping restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program and a U.N. arms embargo in place were insufficient.

Negotiators blew through the congressional deadline and were able to extend the

timelines, according to the officials, who insisted on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss the president’s thinking.

Obama first planted the seeds for engagement with Iran as a presidential candidate, saying in a 2007 Democratic primary debate that he would be willing to meet with Iranian leaders without preconditions. His statements were ridiculed

by Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, who went on to be his secretary of state and help jumpstart the secret negotiations with Iran.

The president’s opening months in office included public and private overtures to Tehran, all with a more conciliatory tone aimed at signaling a shift from predecessor George W. Bush, who cast Iran as part of an “axis of evil.”

In a veiled reference to Iran in his inaugural address, Obama said he was willing to “extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your first.” He exchanged letters with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He used conciliatory language in a videotaped message to both the people and government of Iran on the Persian new year, calling for engagement “that is honest and grounded in mutual respect.”

Obama has taken a similar approach — clandestine diplomacy, prioritizing negotiations over military action — to other foreign policy challenges, with mixed results. Plans to negotiate an end to Syria’s bloody civil war have gone nowhere. A resumption of diplomatic relations with Cuba after a half-century of hostilities is moving along largely as planned.

Yet the stakes and the scope of the Iran effort stand apart, a reality not lost on Obama.

While he talked of American strength and longsought change Tuesday, he acknowledged in an interview with The Atlantic earlier this year that if Iran does ultimately get a bomb, “it’s my name on this.”

Plan would add new retail building Continued from Page 1 Michael Kluchurosky, Anderson said.

Kluchurosky intends to build a small office to start and then potentially expand in the future.

• Will recommend that White Township supervisors write a letter to PennDOT asking for help in narrowing potential locations for traffic lights in the area of Lenz Road and the Oakland Avenue corridor to be placed on the official map.

• Approved final minor subdivisions for Olga D. Markelat Markel Circle; Chad and Jill Frick at Lutz School Road, Frank Lewis and David Naylon on Warren Road; and Eugene Scott on Twolick Drive.

• Tabled a final site plan for Dan Sinclair with Skyway Towers/Verizon as the lessee at Highpoint Place, behind ALDI’s.

The plan would add a Verizon tower but must be resubmitted to define the lease boundary to include the fall zone.

• Approved a 90-day extension to make a decision on a final site plan for a 183-unit townhome development on Indian Springs Road.

The area would be developed by Globalstar Partners LLC and Castleford Development.

The plan was tabled previously to await the results of a traffic study and other details and remains tabled.

• Improving quality.

• Better access to physicians for health care.

• An expanded network of specialty physicians.

Craft delivers 1st up-close look at Pluto Continued from Page 1 to go absolutely ape.”

The day was the climax of a decade and a half of dreams and effort. Launched in 2006, New Horizons had traveled 9½ years and 3 billion miles for a close encounter that was largely completed within hours. And yet that quick reconnaissance of Pluto transformed what had been a fuzzy dot since it was discovered 85 years ago into a richly textured world, providing insight into the beginnings of the solar system and raw material for new mysteries that astronomers will ponder for years.

At 7:50 a.m., the crowd, which included the children of Clyde Tombaugh, the astronomer who discovered Pluto in 1930, cheered — albeit 72 seconds late. The latest calculations by the spacecraft navigators indicated that New Horizons would arrive at the closest approach 72 seconds ahead of schedule.

But the path of New Horizons was within the margins that the mission team had aimed for, and to avoid the risk of causing a problem with unnecessary tinkering, no updated commands to tweak the timing had been sent to the spacecraft.

“We were close enough,” said Christopher B. Hersman, the mission’s systems engineer.

As everyone cheered, no one knew how the spacecraft, in the midst of 22 hours of automated science operations, was faring. And there

was a chance, however small, that it was not faring well: A wayward piece of debris, for instance, could destroy the craft.

So scientists were left to wait and wonder.

“We always talk about the spacecraft as being a child, maybe a teenager,” Bowman said during a news conference after the flyby. “There was absolutely nothing anybody on the operations team could do, just to trust that we had prepared it well to set off on its journey on its own.”

NASA released the newest color image of Pluto, which was sent Monday and offered the clearest view yet of an icy world with a Mars-like reddish tint.

“You can see regions of various kinds of brightness,” Stern said during the news conference. “Very dark regions near the equator, very bright regions just to the north of that, broad intermediate zones over the pole.

What we know is on the surface we see a history of impacts. We see a history of surface activity.”

He said there appeared to be about five regions of distinct terrain, and even a prominent bright feature in the shape of a heart appeared to show clear differences.

In a version of the picture in which colors had been exaggerated to show various features, Pluto looked as if a preschooler had smeared finger paints all over it.

“This is just a very psychedelic image,” said Catherine

Olkin, the deputy project scientist.

From telescope observations on Earth, astronomers have known for decades of a bright spot on this side of Pluto, and the New Horizons trajectory was chosen in part so it would see the spot in sunlight. As the spacecraft approached, the bright spot resolved into that heart shape.

In the image with the exaggerated colors, the right side of the heart is distinctly bluer than the pale yellowish left side, with a sharp boundary between the two.

Annette Tombaugh, Clyde Tombaugh’s daughter, talked about what her father, who died in 1997, would have thought of the probe’s Pluto revelations.

“He would have said, ‘That’s a pretty neat heart,’” Tombaugh said. “If he were here, he would be on the team learning along with everybody else.”

The scientists also had a closer look at the dark splotches that circle Pluto’s equator.

Additional data from other instruments to identify some of the chemical makeup of the surface and map the range of temperatures will help the researchers figure out the nature of such features.

Because Pluto is the Roman god of the underworld, the scientists drew on underworld entities from myths and literature in beginning to assign informal names to the regions.

A large splotch that resembles a whale was named Cthulhu, a deity from an H.P. Lovecraft story.

Other splotch names included Meng-Po, the goddess of forgetfulness in Chinese mythology; Balrog, a creature in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” books; and Vucub Came and Hun Came, death gods of Mayan mythology.

“We got tired of calling it the dark spot on the left and the dark spot on the right,” said Jeffrey M. Moore, the leader of the geology, geophysics and imaging team.

By today, the spacecraft will be mostly finished with the data-collecting phase of the mission and will begin sending back a trove of data for scientists to ponder. In the morning, the first batch of data will arrive on Earth, including sharper images of Pluto — 10 times the resolution of the image released Tuesday.

At the end of Tuesday night’s news conference, John Grunsfeld, the associate administrator for NASA’s science directorate, pointed to a Twitter posting by President Barack Obama: “Pluto just had its first visitor! Thanks @NASA — it’s a great day for discovery and American leadership.”

Grunsfeld then turned to Stern, Bowman and Glen Fountain, the project manager. “Get some well-deserved rest,” Grunsfeld said, “until 5 o’clock tomorrow morning.”

The room erupted with laughter and applause.

Clymer seeks funding for park renovation Continued from Page 1 proper, permanent veterans’ memorial.

The park has been there since the early 1940s, Barto said. Currently there is a baseball field, two muchused pavilions and playground equipment.

If the borough secures the grant, residents would see the installation of 30 parking spaces along Sherman Street from Sixth Street until it dead ends at the park and another off-street parking lot. The borough would also like to construct a town square at the corner of Sherman and Sixth streets and a passive park all along the street that would include a green space, benches and a trail along Twolick Creek. Barto said

planners also are considering some trout habitats in the creek. There aren’t any definite plans for a veterans’ memorial if the borough obtains the grant, but Barto said a plan put forward years ago focuses on a flag theme that would see each branch of the military honored with its own flag and flags from each of the neighboring school districts of Penns Manor, Marion Center and Purchase Line.

Borough police and administration are also dealing with two issues in Clymer: large trucks using roads they aren’t supposed to and residents blowing their grass into the street.

Earlier Tuesday, a tractortrailer snagged power lines

along Sherman Street and pulled them to the ground.

Most roads in the borough are posted with a 10-ton weight limit, and while trucks use Sherman Street to deliver to Tate’s Supermarket, the truck in question was not making deliveries to the grocery store, according to Borough Police Chief Joseph Douglas. He said the matter is still under investigation.

As for the grass, Louis Tate, chairman of the street committee, made a plea to borough residents to stop blowing their cut organic matter into the public thoroughfare.

There is a borough ordinance prohibiting it.

Tate also said the streets crew is having a tough time getting their list of projects

done due to the frequent rains, but they are working at getting handicapped parking spaces repainted, among several other routine duties.

The borough voted Tuesday to hire three new people: Robin Gromley, as secretary and treasurer for the Clymer Borough Municipal Authority; Mike Greek, as a part-time employee; and Matt Detwiler, as a part-time seasonal employee.

The seventh annual Son Day in the Park is right around the corner. A prayer, praise and worship service will be held from 6 to 9 p.m.

Saturday, Aug. 1, and, on Sunday, the Sherman Street Park will be rocking from 2 to 8 p.m. with live music, a food court and a kiddie korner.

Special Night

Kovacik gets bid to region tourney Blairsville entry joins Young Twp.; championship series canceled

JOHN MANCHILLO/Associated Press

Young Township and Blairsville’s Kovacik Insurance will represent Indiana County in the Senior Legion Region 7 baseball tournament, which begins this weekend in Westmoreland County.

Young Township earned its berth by virtue of winning the regular-season championship.

Kovacik Insurance was selected to fill the county’s second spot by default after Punxsutawney was disqualified from participating in the championship series.

Kovacik and Punxsutawney were slated to open the county championship series on Monday, but the series was canceled when Punxs’y was disqualified.

The Jefferson County entry was disqualified after its manager participated in a semifinal win over Indiana Legion on Sunday a day after he was ejected from a game. League rules stipulate than an ejection results in a one-game suspension.

After the disqualification, the league planned to have Kovacik Insurance, which beat Young Township in the semifinals, and Indiana Legion play a championship series, but Indiana Legion’s players, thinking their season ended Sunday with the loss at Punxsutawney, scattered to begin their plans for the rest of the summer.

The Region 7 tournament begins Saturday and consists of eight teams from Indiana, Westmoreland and Cambria counties and the Central Penn League.

Latrobe and Murrrysville (Westmoreland) and Beech Creek and Mifflin County (Central Penn) have secured berths.

The tentative schedule has Young Township facing Mifflin County and Kovacik playing Murrysville on Saturday.

Games are scheduled to be played at Mount Pleasant High School, with Seton Hill University in Greensburg as the backup site.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: The Pirates’ Andrew McCutchen hit a solo home run in the sixth inning; the Angels’ Mike Trout led off the game with a home run and was named the MVP for the second year in a row; Pirates closer Mark Melancon gave up a solo home run to the Twins’ Brian Dozier in the eighth; and Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole pitched a scoreless third inning.

Trout powers AL’s win over NL

By RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer

CINCINNATI — Mike Trout flashed the skill that puts him at the front of baseball’s new generation, just moments after four of the alltime greats walked off the field.

Trout became the first player in 38 years to homer leading off an All-Star Game, then became the first player to take home the Midsummer Classic’s MVP award two years in a row.

A new-look All-Star Game fin-

ished with the same old result. The AL beat the NL 6-3 Tuesday night and will open the World Series at home for the 10th time in 13 years.

“It’s obviously a humbling honor with the MVPs,” Trout said in his usual understated, aw-shucks manner.

After Trout completed a career All-Star cycle in just his fifth big league season, Prince Fielder delivered. He drove in two runs,

sending Trout blazing home ahead of Joc Pederson’s throw with the run off Clayton Kershaw that put the AL ahead for good.

In an age of dominant pitching, Felix Hernandez, winner David Price, Zach Britton, Dellin Betances and Wade Davis took scoreless turns in the AL’s third win a row.

Playing on the AL West-leading Los Angeles Angels, Trout could add an even bigger honor this fall

— his first World Series ring.

“He can do anything that anybody can do on a baseball field,” AL manager Ned Yost said. “He can hit with power. He can run. He can drive the gap. He’s a great defender.

He’s just special. When you look at Mike, you don’t look at a 23-yearold. You look at a guy that is one of the best baseball players on this planet.”

A season after the retirement of Derek Jeter dropped the curtain on the turn-of-century greats, Trout Continued on Page 16

Spieth’s no Tiger, and that’s OK TIM DAHLBERG

Tim Dahlberg is a sports columnist for The Associated Press. Email: tdahlberg@ap. org.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Jordan Spieth was practicing a shot he hopes he won’t need this week, banging a few wedges off the wall on the famous Road Hole in the fading sun at this, the birthplace of golf.

Dead tired after winning yet again in Illinois before flying all night to get here for what could be a defining moment in golf, Spieth was still intent on having a bit of fun.

“Who wants this?” he yelled out, signing a ball and then tossing it left-handed toward the 50 or so fans still around Monday night.

It caused a bit of a frenzy, but just for a moment. There weren’t many fans around, and those who were seemed as if they were

still trying to figure out this young Texan who has the golf world buzzing.

They’re not alone. Those in a sport that has been fixated for the better part of two decades on Tiger Woods are still trying to decipher Spieth.

What they do know is that he’s 21, and in the midst of greatest the stretch of golf anyone has seen since Woods burst on the scene and transformed the sleepy game into must-see TV. Forget the fact that part of the Woods mystique was that he was a rare player of color in a mostly lily-white game. Woods caused more of a stir by doing other things no one had ever seen before, thrilling fans with his booming drives and winning with

clutch putts punctuated by his signature fist pump.

Spieth is no Tiger Woods.

Doesn’t try to be, though they do share the same habit of talking angrily to themselves during a round.

He doesn’t overwhelm a crowd with his presence, doesn’t intimidate other players while wearing a red shirt on Sunday. In a game dominated by Woods and the power hitters who followed, he’s not even in the same neighborhood as the big boys with a driver in his hand.

What Spieth does do is win.

This year he’s done it on the biggest stages in golf, grabbing a green jacket at the Masters and following it with a win a few Continued on Page 17

The Indiana Gazette QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Kentucky was Danica’s 100th — where does she stand?

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Buddy Baker, Hall of Famer?

GODSPEAK: NASCAR’s original “Big Foot” will get in someday, but Baker won’t be here to enjoy that moment, sadly.

KEN’S CALL: Eventually, yes, he’d be in the Hall. So now they might as well do what Buddy always did: Mash the gas and get it done ASAP.

The first 100 races haven’t produced the type of front-pack familiarity hoped for by her, her fans, her team and, of course, NASCAR and the networks. But it also Though 100 Cup hasn’t been an abject starts, no one is failure. For what it’s polishing the Hall worth, a NASCAR Hall of Fame bust. of Famer had similar AP/AJ MAST numbers through 100 races. Late-blooming Dale Jarrett, like Danica, was 33 when he made his 100th start. He had just eight top-10s; Danica has had six. DJ had a pair of top-5s, which Danica doesn’t.

3 THINGS WE LEARNED AT KENTUCKY

Are they crazy in Talladega?

Any chance Kyle Busch doesn’t make the Chase?

GODSPEAK: Two wins in his last three starts? At this rate, he will be ranked ahead of his teammates in the Chase.

KEN’S CALL: Yes, there’s a chance. It just might go down to the 26th race and add a lot of drama to Richmond in September.

100 career starts for Danica; will she get another 100?

GODSPEAK: Danica has the team, she just needs the funding. As one of NASCAR’s most popular drivers, she’ll get to 200.

KEN’S CALL: That’s only three more seasons, give or take.

Her next deal will probably be for three years, so I say yes.

ONLINE EXTRAS

Not crazy, just hoping for the best.

Last week, Talladega track president Grant Lynch said he doesn’t foresee any changes to the track’s catch-fence before its Oct. 24-25 NASCAR weekend.

Given the very recent issues, and given the legal ramifications inherent in such things, you have to assume the relationship between catch-fences, walls and lowest rows of seats will soon change.

So, too, with a little sanity, will the style of racing forced on teams at Daytona and Talladega.

Kyle Larson is fast in his No. 42 Chevrolet but has trouble before finding the checkered flag.

JOHN HARRELSON /HARRELSON PHOTO INC.

1. Fast, not furious

2. Fussing & cussing

3. Nice package

Sophomore driver Kyle Larson earned pole position honors for the Cup Series race and was fast in both practice sessions. When the green flag fell, Larson had all sorts of problems and finished 35th.

Fast, but you got to make it last.

Danica Patrick’s No. 10 Chevrolet was shoved into the wall

by Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s No. 88 Chevy. She was extremely angry and rattled off several expletives to her to team via two-way radio. After exiting her car, she was consoled by car owner Tony Stewart.

Drivers have been complaining that the configuration of their stock cars makes it impossible to pass, so let them run with less downforce at Kentucky.

Most drivers liked the change.

Kurt Busch spun off a turn for no apparent reason other than less downforce to work with.

The last driver to lead every lap of a Cup Series race was Jeff Burton, who was out front for 300 laps at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 2000.

He scooted around polesitter Bobby Labonte on Lap 1 and never relinquished the lead. No need to worry about Burton this weekend. He’s now a racing analyst for NBC Sports.

2. Win crazy Kyle Busch has gone win crazy as he marches up the Cup Series standings hoping to nab a Chase playoff berth.

Busch has won twice in his

Patrick

last three starts. Each win brings him closer to postseason play. Going into Kentucky, his average finish had to be 13th or better to make the show. Now it is 17th or better over the last eight races.

3. Difficult oval A sure sign about track difficulty is the number of different winners. Going into Louden there have been 11 different winning drivers in as many races dating back to the fall race there in 2009, won by Mark Martin, who has since retired. There’s a very good chance we will see a driver score their first win of the season this Sunday.

WHAT’S ON TAP?

No worries about Jeff Burton leading every lap at New Hampshire.

He may talk during every lap this time around — as analyst.

West Lebanon shores up spot

By The Indiana Gazette West Lebanon secured its hold on third place by beating Apollo, 13-4, in an Indiana County League baseball game Tuesday.

West Lebanon (10-10-1) needed a win to remain comfortably ahead of fourthplace New Derry (7-10). “(Apollo) got a quick run there in the first, but we answered back fairly quick,” said West Lebanon player-manger Anthony Rebyanski. “And we were able to score a few more times to end the game.”

Apollo struck first in the bottom of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead, but West Lebanon responded with five runs in the top of the second.

After a scoreless third frame, West Lebanon tacked on four more runs in the fourth.

Apollo scored once more in the bottom of the fourth and twice in the sixth before West Lebanon capped the game with four runs in the seventh.

Zach Long earned the win with a complete-game performance. He struck out five.

“Zach went out and did his job,” said Rebyanski. “He held his own for the most part. He battled and got us a win and did what he was supposed to do.”

Jarrett Geiger took the loss.

For Apollo, Bill Perroz Jr. and Ryan McGonigle banged out two singles apiece.

Tanner Baylor singled and doubled, and Ben Carnahan smacked two singles and a double.

West Lebanon’s Shane Wingard singled twice, Anthony Piccolini stroked two singles with a pair of RBIs, and Mitch Yard finished 3-for-4. Rebyanski finished with two singles, a double and

three RBIs. “It was good to see our bats come alive,” Rebyanski said. “And it will be good to go against Blairsville, and with these last four games, hopefully get some more wins.”

West Lebanon plays host to Blairsville on Thursday. Apollo (3-18) travels to first-place Bovard on Sunday.

YOUTH LEGION: S.W. Jack leads host Armstrong 2-0 in the top of the first inning of the first game in their best-ofthree Indiana County Youth Legion championship series. The game was suspended due to rain with the bases loaded and two outs.

Luke Wachob smacked a single to score Bobby Kanick, and Taylor Squiric scored on a walk.

Play will resume today at 5:30 p.m. in Ford City.

U.S. coach makes changes to roster KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Jurgen Klinsmann spouted optimism after the United States played Panama to a 1-1 draw to wrap up the group stage of the Gold Cup, reasoning that despite a trio of sluggish performances the Americans had still survived unbeaten.

That didn’t stop Klinsmann from shaking up his roster less than 24 hours later.

The coach chose to add DaMarcus Beasley, Joe Corona and Alan Gordon for the knockout rounds, which begin with the quarterfinals Saturday in Baltimore against an opponent that has yet to be determined. Taking a seat are Greg Garza, Alfredo Morales and Jozy Altidore, who has been hampered by an ailing hamstring.

Teams could make up to six roster changes using their 35-player preliminary list.

Altidore started the first two games in the group stage but was substituted out of

MLB wants clock, players donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

By The Associated Press CINCINNATI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Baseball management is intrigued with the idea of using pitch clocks to speed play in the major leagues. The playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association thinks it is a horrible idea.

Adopting rules requiring hitters to keep at least one foot in the batterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box and to put up clocks timing between-innings breaks led to the average time of a nine-inning game dropping to 2 hours, 53 minutes so far this season.

That is down from 3:02 for the first half of 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided that we would undertake a rather modest set of changes this year,â&#x20AC;? Commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday during a meeting with the Baseball Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association of America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also made a decision to make a significant investment to test the 20-second pitch clock further at Double-A and Triple-A. We are really encouraged by the results of that experiment in terms of how it moves the games along.â&#x20AC;?

Major League Baseball Players Association head Tony Clark, a former All-Star first baseman, made clear his members do not want pitch clocks. An agreement with the union would be needed to use them in the big leagues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game is fundamentally different. The game is fundamentally faster. There are more considerations that need to be made at the major level than at the Single-A level or the Double-A level or the Triple-A level,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;˘ Cutting the length of Major League Baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular-season schedule could be tied to reconfiguring the postseason. Baseball players are increasingly complaining of the toll of playing 162 games in 183 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A shortened schedule is a major, major economic issue,â&#x20AC;? Manfred told the Baseball Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association of America on Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sell out in a lot of markets in terms of gates. The gates are really valuable to us. We have television commitments. Each local contract varies, but there are game guarantees that could be affected by a shortened season.â&#x20AC;?

Continued from Page 13 was among six starting position players under 25 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most since 1965. At last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Minneapolis, he hit a tiebreaking triple and later a go-ahead double.

This time Trout sent Zack Greinkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth pitch, a 94 mph fastball on the outer half of the plate, over the wall in right next to the visiting bullpen for an opposite-field homer.

Winner of his first season AL MVP award in 2014, the center fielder joined Willie Mays, Steve Garvey, Gary Carter and Cal Ripken Jr. as the only two-time All-Star MVPs. Stars old and young gathered in one of baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most traditional towns. The Reds became baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first professional team in 1869, and players wore caps with horizontal stripes in an attempt at a 19th century feel.

Pete Rose, Cincinnatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown hero and baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s banned career hits leader, was given an 80-second ovation when he walked onto the field before the game to join Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Barry Larkin, elected by fans as the Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; greatest players. Wearing a red jacket and tie and walking stiffly, the now 74-yearold Charlie Hustle was applauded as soon as his image appeared on the video boards, even before he emerged from the AL dugout.

And in the first All-Star Game at Great American Ballpark, which opened in 2003, fans got to see some great ballplayers.

Bench, changed into a blue jacket, returned with Hank Aaron, Mays and Sandy Koufax, voted baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great living players by fans as part of the promotion. In a sentimental yet stunning reminder of generational change, Aaron, 81, and Morgan, 71, needed canes to reach the infield, and Mays, 84, was aided on and off the field by an assistant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing up, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see them play that much,â&#x20AC;?

Trout said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But looking up, seeing highlights of all the Hall of Famers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something

JEFF ROBERSON/AP

ANDREW McCUTCHEN was congratulated by the Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Todd Frazier after hitting a home run Tuesday.

I really look forward to looking at and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning more about them, just how great they played in every respect of the game.â&#x20AC;?

Above the field, new Commissioner Rob Manfred watched from a luxury suite, the first All-Star Game not presided over by Bud Selig since 1992.

Many players of the new generation love bling in a manner that puzzles the old guard: Posey wore a gold-colored helmet behind the plate, looking a bit like the Great Gazoo or a Praetorian Guard, accessorizing with a chest protector, shin guards and cleats all with gold-colored trim. Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adam Jones was shod in bright orange cleats, and Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lorenzo Cain and Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bryce Harper donned golden spikes.

Trout, a Generation Y star with a baby boomer work ethic, completed a unique cycle on a clear evening that followed a heavy afternoon downpour.

He singled in his All-Star debut in 2012, doubled to open the 2013 game and tripled in the first inning last year. He was just the ninth player to hit for an All-Star cycle in his entire career, joining an illustrious list that includes Hall of Famers Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente, Ernie Banks, George Brett,

Mike Schmidt and Mays.

Fielder later became the 10th.

No one had homered leading off an All-Star Game since 1977 at old Yankee Stadium, when Morgan connected off Jim Palmer. Greinke, coming off five scoreless outings, had not allowed a run since June 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy,â&#x20AC;? Greinke said of pitching to Trout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got like a 2-inch window up in the zone. If you throw it higher than that, he takes it. If you throw it lower, he does what he did.â&#x20AC;?

Fielder and Lorenzo Cain had run-scoring hits in the fifth against Kershaw, the reigning NL MVP, that put the AL ahead 3-1.

Manny Machado, at 23 another of the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh faces, hit a double off the right-field wall against Francisco Rodriguez in the seventh and scored on Fielderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice fly. And Brian Dozier, the last player added to the game as an injury replacement, hit a solo home run off Mark Melancon in the eighth.

NL runs came home on Jhonny Peraltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBI single in the second, Andrew McCutchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homer off Chris Archer in the sixth and Brandon Crawfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice fly in the ninth.

NL manager Bruce Bochy thought ahead to some future ceremony involving Trout, perhaps at an All-Star Game or World Series, perhaps at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be standing there, I think, with the guys we saw tonight,â&#x20AC;? Bochy said.

NOTES: The AL is 21-6-1 in the last 28 games, losing three straight from 1994-96 and 2010-12. The NL leads the matchup 43-41-2. â&#x20AC;Ś Jacob deGrom of the Mets, the NL Rookie of the Year, struck out Stephen Vogt, Jason Kipnis and Jose Iglesias on 10 pitches in the sixth, reaching 98 mph. ... Reds closer Aroldis Chapman threw 12 of 14 pitches at 100 mph or more in the ninth, reaching 103 mph and striking out the side. NL pitchers struck out 15.

Changes Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll g you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be made in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;15 there

By RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer

CINCINNATI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Major League Baseball is likely to wait until next season before making any changes to improve fan safety.

A fan at Fenway Park was hospitalized after she was hit by a broken bat while sitting along the third-base line on June 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to be reactive.

Obviously, we had a very serious injury. It concerns us,â&#x20AC;?

Commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday during a meeting with the Baseball Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association of America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But making a major change in the game in a reactive mode I believe is a mistake.â&#x20AC;?

Teams may increase safety netting on their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We set minimum standards,â&#x20AC;? Manfred said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously the clubs remain free to do what they want to do in their own ballparks.â&#x20AC;?

An Oakland Athletics season ticket-holder sued MLB in federal court in California this week, asking that safety netting be installed for the entire length of the foul lines.

Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association head Tony Clark said the union could be part of fan safety discussions.

Experience will come into play at Old Course

By DOUG FERGUSON ST. ANDREWS, Scotland â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Winless in nearly two years, Tiger Woods at least has experience on his side at St. Andrews.

It has been 20 years since he first played the Old Course as a 19-year-old amateur and heard the secret was to hit it hard and hit it left. After playing the British Open four times at St. Andrews, and winning twice, he realized that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case. There are bunkers to avoid and angles to create, and it can change with the slightest shift in direction of the notorious wind.

Whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough to carry him this week depends more on his golf, which he says is not as hopeless as it might appear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still young. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not 40 yet,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know some of you guys think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m buried and done, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still right here in front of you. Yeah, I love playing. I love competing, and I love playing these events.â&#x20AC;?

He just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his last major was the 2008 U.S. Open â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare he even contends since he chose last year to change his swing about the same time he was trying to recover from another round of injuries.

Hope comes from more than just his affection for St. Andrews. Woods said the way he struck the ball in his last tournament round â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 67 at The Greenbrier Classic to tie for 32nd â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was as good as he has in two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was awfully nice to be able to do coming into this week,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hit the ball just as well in my practice rounds.â&#x20AC;?

If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case, that would make this an important week because it would be the first time since his last victory â&#x20AC;&#x201D; August 2013 at Firestone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that he goes into a major with good health and a reasonable idea what to expect.

Consider his last four majors: â&#x20AC;˘ He was out three months because of back surgery, missed the cut in his return at Congressional, and then had his worst 72-hole finish in a major at the British Open. â&#x20AC;˘ He withdrew in the final round at Firestone after jarring his lower back, showed up late for the PGA Championship and missed the cut. â&#x20AC;˘ He took two months off to fix a short game in disarray and returned at the Masters, where he tied for 17th. Woods said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;had a chance to winâ&#x20AC;? at Augusta National, but he was 10 shots behind going into the final round and ended up 13 shots behind Jordan Spieth. â&#x20AC;˘ He shot the worst score of his career (85) at the Memorial, and then posted his highest 36-hole score (156) to miss the cut at the U.S. Open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, the previous majors were a little bit more difficult,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, coming off surgery on my back and trying to get back and trying to get my feels back, meanwhile trying to making a swing change all at the same time was very difficult. I had some pretty apparent flaws in my technique.â&#x20AC;?

Experience should not be dismissed at the home of golf. Tony Lema in 1964 was the last player to win a British Open at St. Andrews without ever having competed on the Old Course. Louis Oosthuizen (2010 winner) and John Daly (1995) previously played the Dunhill Cup. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one obstacle facing Spieth, who

is trying to become the first player to capture the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open in the same year. He did play a practice round on his way to the Walker Cup in 2011. And he played 18 holes upon his arrival Monday from his playoff win at the John Deere Classic.

Still, the betting favorite is a 21-yearold Old Course rookie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to learn it. The course changes so much with different wind directions,â&#x20AC;? said Justin Rose, who won the St. Andrews Links Trophy as an amateur and is a regular at the Dunhill Links on the European Tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get a better idea of where the better angles are, where the better layups are with certain winds, and the pin placement can change so much when you have greens that are 60 to 100 yards wide or long.â&#x20AC;?

Woods didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit into a single bunker when he won by eight shots in 2000 to complete the career Grand Slam, and he led over the final 63 holes in 2005 when he won by five. In his most recent Open at St. Andrews, he got caught on the wrong side of the draw and finished 13 shots behind Oosthuizen.

And while he knows and loves the Old Course, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not used to seeing it this way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; green from rain, with intervals of rain expected during the week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite chase it like you normally do,â&#x20AC;? Woods said.

For Spieth, experience comes from winning four times this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a golf course where you can have four, five, six different wind directions,â&#x20AC;?

Oosthuizen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you need to know where the dangers are with certain types of wind. But you know, the form that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on now, I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still the guy that everyone will be chasing.â&#x20AC;?

Continued from Page 13 weeks back at the U.S. Open. Add in a British Open and PGA Championship title, and he would be the first player to win the Grand Slam in a calendar year.

He largely does it on his own terms, taking the title at the John Deere Classic on Sunday when others suggested he might be better served by leaving early for Scotland to discover the many vagaries of the oldest course in golf.

But Spieth has a confidence that borders on swagger and, much like Woods in his prime, a belief that his best is better than yours no matter where you tee it up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He beats you properly,â&#x20AC;? former U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He beats you with better golf. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat you because he hits it further.

Tigerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intimidation was that he always did something amazing. Jordan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong, his body of work is amazing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat you with a crazy par, or a crazy chip-in from the

back of the 14th at Muirfield (Village).

He just beats you because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better.â&#x20AC;?

Just how much better Spieth really is, only time will tell.

His career is in its infancy still, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way too early to crown him as the next great player, way too soon to begin talking about whether he â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not Woods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be the one who finally takes down the record of 18 major titles held

by Jack Nicklaus.

Besides, despite the struggles of Woods in recent times, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reasonable chance heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still got enough golf in him at age 39 to finally get past the 14th major he won at the U.S. Open way back in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still young,â&#x20AC;? Woods said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know some of you guys think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m buried and done, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still right here in front of you.â&#x20AC;?

The tables, though, have turned.

While others over the years tried unsuccessfully to stake their claim as Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; major rival, it is now Woods who tries to

get back in the conversation with Spieth, Rory McIlroy and other young players who have now firmly established themselves as the future of golf.

Almost shockingly, Woods has been reduced to almost an afterthought in the biggest tournaments. Playing by himself Monday night behind Spieth on a nearly deserted course, he was largely ignored by the handful of fans who were still hanging around.

Up ahead, Spieth was finished and ready to find the nearest bed. He signed a few autographs and was heading for the exit when asked whether he was too tired to win his third straight major. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, I feel just fine,â&#x20AC;? Spieth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful spot here.â&#x20AC;?

It was, indeed, especially with the sun setting over the 18th green and the town of St. Andrews behind.

But even more beautiful for many in golf would be the sight of Spieth holding the claret jug that goes to the winner on Sunday.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL JULY 15 1901 — Christy Mathewson of the New York Giants pitched his first of two career no-hitters, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0.

1969 — Cincinnati’s Lee May hit four home runs in a doubleheader split with the Atlanta Braves. May had two home runs and drove in five runs in both games as the Reds lost the opener 9-8 but came back to win the second game 10-4.

1969 — Rod Carew stole home off Chicago’s Gerry Nyman in the Minnesota Twins’ 6-2 victory. It was Carew’s seventh steal of home for the year and tied Pete Reiser’s 1946 major league mark.

2003 — Anaheim’s Garret Anderson went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double, leading the American League past the National League 7-6 in the All-Star Game. Hank Blalock of Texas hit a goahead, two-run homer as a pinch-hitter in the eighth off Los Angeles’ Eric Gagne.

2005 — Baltimore’s Rafael Palmeiro became the 26th player to reach 3,000 career hits, curling an RBI double into the left-field corner off Joel Pineiro in the fifth inning of a 6-3 win over Seattle.

Ticket sales soar for soccer game PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ticket sales for a U.S. women’s soccer match in Pittsburgh continue to skyrocket in the wake of the team’s World Cup victory.

According to published reports, 35,000 tickets have been sold as of Monday for the Aug. 16 friendly against Costa Rica at Heinz Field.

The last time the U.S. women’s team played at Heinz Field was after winning Olympic gold in 2004. Only 6,400 fans attended.

Changes on way for NBA playoffs LAS VEGAS (AP) — Changes to the NBA playoffs are almost certainly coming. Changes to the league’s much-discussed moratorium and Hack-aShaq aren’t, at least not now.

After meeting with the league’s Board of Governors on those and other topics, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said that — as expected — the league is leaning toward eliminating any protection for division winners in playoff seeding going forward and instead placing the eight teams on the Eastern and Western Conference brackets based solely by record.

• DALLAS (AP) — Deron Williams has joined his hometown Mavericks after Brooklyn bought out the contract the point guard signed when he spurned Dallas to stay with the Nets three years ago.

Williams, who grew up in the Dallas suburb of The Colony, signed a twoyear, $10 million deal.

• ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — After missing on their biggest target in free agency, the Orland Magic are now doing what they can to ensure their rebuilding process doesn’t take a step backward.

The Magic re-signed forward Tobias Harris, along free agent big man Jason Smith.

In Harris, Orlando brings back a 22-year-old that has steadily improved since being acquired in a 2013 trade.

The signing of Smith was a consolation prize of sorts after unscuccessfully pursuing two-time AllStar forward Paul Millsap.

McNabb’s BAC twice the limit GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) — Former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb had a blood alcohol level that was more than twice the legal limit when he was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Arizona last month, police said.

Police in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert said lab tests show McNabb’s blood alcohol level was 0.17. The legal limit in Arizona is .08 and anything 0.15 or higher qualifies as extreme DUI. It was the second DUI arrest for McNabb in 18 months.

• BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Bills President Russ Brandon said offensive line coach Aaron Kromer has been put on paid administrative leave after being accused of punching a boy in the face for using his beach chairs.

Brandon says the team is following the league’s personal conduct policy, putting Kromer on leave while investigating with the league.

Froome takes 10th stage LA PIERRE-SAINTMARTIN, France (AP) — Chris Froome used the first high-mountain stage of this year’s Tour de France to take control of the race, powering up a punishing climb in the Pyrenees at a pace that none of his rivals could match.

With four miles to go, on some of the steepest sections, Froome tore away alone, getting out of the saddle as he accelerated. The last rider to stay with him, 2013 runnerup Nairo Quintana, couldn’t respond and finished third behind Froome and Richie Porte.

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE DEAR MARY: I enjoy your column every day and love the tips and tricks to save more and spend less. I read the question about finding “rust” on lettuce only days after purchase and I have found a great solution. I’ve started using glass jars — mason jars, old tomato sauce jars, any jar with a tight fitting lid will do. I clean and store my Email lettuce, questions or cut bell tips to peppers, mary@every cucumdaycheap bers, just skate.com or about anyEveryday thing that Cheapskate, I’d nor12340 Seal mally put Beach Blvd., in TupperSuite B-416, ware or a Seal Beach, CA plastic 90740. bag. The filled jars keep the contents fresh and yummy for days, even as long as two weeks. It’s amazing. I couldn’t believe the difference. Thanks for doing what you do. — Stacie DEAR STACIE: Thanks for the reminder! Glass lidded jars are useful for so many things. Filled with fresh salad greens and vegetables, I think they look pretty, too.

DEAR MARY: This year, I am growing my garden in 5-gallon buckets. My problem is all the weeds that grow everywhere in the yard. I’ve put landscape fabric in the bed where my buckets are located, but the weeds still persist. What can I use in the realm of homemade weed/grass killer that’s effective? I don’t want to go the commercial route (e.g. Roundup), for fear that might also kill my wanted garden plants.

Thanks ever so much for your advice. — Sherri DEAR SHERRI: Oh yes, I do have a weed killer for you.

And it is so cheap and easy: Fill a spray bottle with fullstrength white vinegar (5 percent acidity), then add 1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid, such as Dawn, and mix well.

There you go! A powerful weed killer that kills any living vegetation. As you spray in flowerbeds, be careful to spray only what you want to kill — staying clear of plants you wish to remain alive and healthy.

White vinegar is harmless for pets and kids, but quite a powerful all-natural herbicide.

For best results, use on weeds that are dry, when the sun is out. Avoid treating weeds on a cool, cloudy or wet day.

DEAR MARY: Years ago, I lent money to two friends, fully expecting to be repaid.

One took several years to pay me back (I had given up hope, then finally received a check from her); the other never paid me back, even though I said she could do so at $10 a month for as long as it took, at zero percent interest. She moved away and left no contact information.

I was as distressed by this dishonorable behavior as I was about not being repaid, although of course, I took a loss.

Never again. Now I’ve added this money rule to my life: Never lend more than you can afford to lose.

— Marianne DEAR MARIANNE: That’s a great rule to live by. And I’ll take it one step further: If it is money you can afford to lose when considering a loan to a friend or family member, save yourself the trouble and just make it a gift from the get-go. That will relieve a lot of stress, wonder and worry and quite possibly preserve and protect the relationship.

Do you love cheap and easy solutions for everyday challenges?

Then you will love my handy booklet, “Cheapskate Solutions,” which contains dozens of recipes, formulas and instructions for making your own household cleaners and solutions — using the stuff you already have in your pantry. Visit the bookstore at DebtProofLiving. com to purchase.

Book spawns generations of Atticus, Scout, Harper names

By JANE HENDERSON St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Maybe we’re in for a future of solemn, near-sighted, fairminded lawyers, all named Atticus.

Well, they won’t all be lawyers. “I hope not,” said Susan Barrett with a laugh.

But she does hope her little Atticus, just 4, grows up with a strong sense of justice.

“I hope he will be a person who is just and fair and empathetic and has a good moral compass.” The qualities of Atticus Finch.

With a name that’s grown in popularity over the last 10 years, today’s Atticuses, big and small, descend from one mighty forebearer — the hero of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” published 55 years ago.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, beloved by many readers, is back in the news because its literary predecessor hit stores Tuesday. Some bookstores are holding readings of “Mockingbird.”

The announcement that Lee, whose only previous book was the beloved “Mockingbird,” had another manuscript — called “Go Set a Watchman” — stunned the literary world earlier this year. Nelle Harper Lee (Lee’s full name), 89, lives in an assisted living facility in Monroeville, Ala. She is not expected to do many, if any, new interviews or public signings of the more than 2 million copies of “Watchman” that went on sale Tuesday.

As fans eagerly await the publishing event of the summer, hundreds of little Atticuses and Harpers — and even a Scout or two — are still playing with blocks or sounding out Dr. Seuss rhymes.

Harper Lee (don’t call her just “Harper”) lives with her parents Christina and Ryan Parker in Maryland Heights, Mo. At 5, she’s too young to have read “To Kill a Mockingbird” but knows she’s named after an author and carries a bookstore tote with the famous title on it.

Her parents both loved “Mockingbird,” and Christina Parker says she plans on reading the new “Go Set a Watchman,” which will feature some of the same characters as “Mockingbird.”

“Watchman” was written first, but is set two decades later, in the 1950s.

Parker hopes to instill a passion for reading in her own Harper Lee, who, when asked about her favorite book, says she loves “all the books” she has from the “library and the store.”

Heidi Langston, of Jackson, Mo., also thinks her daughter

Universal Pictures

CHARACTERS FROM “To Kill a Mockingbird,” like Atticus Finch and his daughter Scout, have spawned generations of names.

Scout will love books. Scout is the nickname of Atticus Finch’s youngest in “Mockingbird,” and Langston says she detects the fictional character’s tomboy feistiness in her daughter.

Scout is one of three — her brother is named Salinger and her sister Hadley.

Not everyone who finds out the 3-year-old triplets’ names knows that Scout is a nod to “Mockingbird,” but others understand that “we’re a literary family,” Langston says.

Hadley doesn’t have a novel namesake, but Salinger is inspired by the author of “The Catcher in the Rye.” Scout is still an unusual name, according to Social Security figures. Last year, only nine newborn girls in the state of Missouri were named Scout.

But over the last decade, both Harper and Atticus have skyrocketed in popularity.

Harper, which nationwide ranked 887 for newborn girls in 2004, actually ranked 11th in 2014. Atticus rose from 937 in 2004 to rank 370 in popularity for male babies in 2014.

Barrett, of Webster Groves, Mo., said she always liked the name “Atticus,” “but more importantly I loved the character in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’”

The fact that Gregory Peck played the genial lawyer in the movie version didn’t hurt either. Barrett said that in high school, she didn’t really appreciate the fictional characters: “But as I grew older and re-read the book, I

thought that this is a really good character.”

“Everyone completely identifies (her son Atticus) with that character, which is perfect.” But she’s sad that it has become a trendy name.

At Tillman Elementary School in Kirkwood, Mo., Atticus McDowell is one of two Atticuses (plural Attici?). At 10, he still hasn’t read the story of the Alabama lawyer who defends an unjustly accused black man against a rape charge. But his mother, Julie McDowell, says her son is a “very earnest kid,” honest and serious.

He doesn’t mind his somewhat old-fashioned moniker: “Atticus never complains about anything. People will often comment about it, and he just kind of smiles.”

Mary Badham, the actress who played Scout in the movie, autographed a copy of a photo of herself with Gregory Peck for young Atticus when she was in town several years ago. (Incidentally, Peck, who himself had relatives named Atticus and Harper, was born with a name virtually unknown to the Social Security Administration these days: Eldred.)

Julie McDowell hopes her Atticus grows up with a sense of social justice, but as for his current personality resemblance to the character, “it’s probably just a coincidence.”

McDowell does think everyone should read “To Kill a Mockingbird”: “The social justice issues are still alive and well today, unfortunately.”

Booklet will help parents start sex talk DEAR ABBY: Do you have any information or advice on how to talk to my 12-year-old stepdaughter about sex?

I have a pretty good idea about where to take the conversation.

I don’t plan to make it a big deal — not so serious as to scare her, but not too lighthearted either.

You never know what kids are saying about it in school these days.

I want her to know the door is always open should she Dear Abby is need to written by talk. (My Abigail Van mother did Buren, also that with known as me, which I Jeanne appreciatPhillips, and ed.) was founded If you by her mother, have any Pauline pointers or Phillips. reading material suited for her age, that would be great. — STEPMOM IN TEXAS DEAR STEPMOM: I’m glad you are opening up the subject because “the talk” with your stepdaughter should have started long ago as part of an ongoing discussion.

For a variety of reasons, young people today mature much earlier than they did years ago.

She should be told that, if they haven’t already started, the changes that will take place in her body are normal and nothing to fear.

As for reading material, my booklet, “What Every Teen Should Know” can help you to start that conversation. It has been distributed in doctors’ offices and used to promote discussions by educators and religious leaders, as well as parents who find it hard to discuss these topics with their children.

You can order one by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby Teen Booklet, P.O. Box

DEAR ABBY

447, Mount Morris, IL 610540447.

Shipping and handling are included in the price. You should review it before starting the conversation so you will be prepared in advance to answer her questions.

The more information you can give her, the better prepared she will be to make intelligent decisions in the future.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 25year-old, well-educated woman, engaged to a wonderful man.

Although we don’t plan to wed for another couple of years, I have a question on my mind.

Neither of us is traditional or religious. What should I do about my name?

My fiance would be honored if I took his name, but wouldn’t be insulted or hurt if I didn’t.

For a long time I had thought that hyphenating would be an appropriate solution, but the more I consider it, a long double name on everything I will have to sign might become an inconvenience.

I don’t dislike his last name or have strong feelings against taking it, but I like the name I have now. Part of me likes the idea of always carrying it.

Since children are not going to be part of the equation, there’s no risk of confusing them or their teachers.

What do other young couples do? I would love an outside perspective. — NAME GAME IN KANSAS DEAR NAME GAME: It is no longer unusual for women to retain their maiden names after marriage.

Many choose to do it because they have become established/successful in their careers, others because they want to maintain their identity as an individual.

Some women solve the problem by using their husband’s name legally and retaining their maiden name professionally.

Others use their maiden name as a middle name and their husband’s last name.

Please don’t worry about this; you have time to make your final decision.

Apatow not wavering on Crosby PEOPLE

By The Associated Press NEW YORK — Judd Apatow is not wavering on his criticism of comedian Bill Cosby, who’s been accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women over four decades.

While attending the world premiere of his latest film, “Trainwreck,” in New York Tuesday night, the 47-year filmmaker explained why his crusade is so important to him.

“I just thought that nobody was talking about it, and that was very sad that he hurt so many people,” Apatow said.

“Look at all these women finding the courage to say ‘Something really terrible happened to me’ and most of it fell on deaf ears. I thought we shouldn’t let this disappear,” he said.

Numerous women publicly accused Cosby of sexual assault late last year and many of them alleged that he drugged them before sex. Cosby denied the allegations.

Last week, a Pennsylvania judge unsealed a 2005 deposition by Cosby in which the 78-year-old said he obtained quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with. Cosby admitted that he gave the sedative to at least one woman.

Apatow said he hopes the latest evidence will change more than just the perception of Cosby’s defenders. He hopes it will encourage people to listen to the accusers.

“I’m glad that more information has come out and now people understand the terrible things he did and realize that we do need to stand up for women because if we don’t they won’t come forward,” he said. ❏❏❏ LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. — It brought on two long YouTube apologies, but Ariana Grande’s doughnut licking video won’t lead to criminal charges.

Police in Lake Elsinore, Calif., said in a statement Monday that the owner of Wolfee Donuts, where the licking took place, declined to press charges against Grande.

They say their investigation was primarily to help the Department of Health, which lowered the restaurant’s grade from an “A” to a “B” for leaving the tray of doughnuts exposed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Generosity won’t work if you are trying to buy love or friendship. If you pay your own way, you will discover that others will be content with your entertaining conversation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22) — Your dedication to a worthy cause will bring you acclaim.

People you may not have met through regular channels will recognize your value and determination.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) — You can remain in control if you don’t give in to pressure tactics.

Others may have an alternate agenda.

Make a professional change when the time is right for you.

Don’t be afraid to ask for advice.

ARIES (March 21April 19) — Don’t be intimidated by what you think you can’t do. With careful planning, you will advance. Precision and a positive attitude will take you far. Make celebration and romance your reward.

TAURUS (April 20May 20) — You won’t get the recognition you deserve if you don’t talk about your discoveries, accomplishments and plans for the future.

Honesty coupled with a solid plan will lead to success.

Victor Hugo said, “Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.”

After an evening bridge session, maybe you find it hard to go to sleep because your brain is still so active. But have patience, and slumber will eventually come.

In today’s deal, patience is the key word. South is in four spades. How can the defenders defeat the contract after West leads his singleton heart two?

North responded with a splinter bid.

He showed at least four-card spade support and gamegoing values with a singleton (or void) in diamonds. (If you do not employ splinters, North should respond two notrump, the Jacoby Forcing Raise, and South would rebid four spades to indicate a minimum balanced hand.)

East knows that his partner has led a singleton. So the impatient would win trick one and return a heart, presumably the suitpreference three to ask for a club return.

West would ruff and shift to a low club, but South would win with dummy’s king and lead a trump.

East would zoom in with his ace and play another heart, but declarer would ruff high, draw the missing trump, and claim 10 tricks: four spades, one heart, two diamonds, two clubs and a diamond ruff in the dummy.

Since West cannot have more than two trumps, East must shift to his singleton club at trick two. Then he wins the first trump and leads his heart three. West ruffs and returns the compliment by giving his partner a club ruff for down one.

Food companies at risk of prosecution for outbreaks

By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Following a deadly listeria outbreak in ice cream, the Justice Department is warning food companies that they could face criminal and civil penalties if they poison their customers.

“We have made a priority holding individuals and companies responsible when they fail to live up to their obligations that they have to protect the safety of the food that all of us eat,” Associate Attorney General Stuart Delery said in an interview with The Associated Press.

After years of relative inactivity, the administration has stepped up criminal enforcement on safety cases. In the most high-profile case, a federal court in Georgia last year found an executive for the Peanut Corporation of America guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, wire fraud and other crimes after his company shipped out salmonella-tainted peanuts that sickened more than 700 and killed nine in 2008 and 2009.

Delery, the No. 3 official at the Justice Department, wouldn’t say whether the government plans to pursue charges against Texas-based Blue Bell Creameries, which recalled all its products and shut down production earlier this year after listeria in the company’s ice cream was linked to illnesses and three deaths.

A Food and Drug Administration investigation found that Blue Bell knew that it had listeria in one of its plants for almost two years before the recall.

“I will say we are following the reports and working with our agency partners, obviously, as they conduct their reviews and investigations,” Delery said of the Blue Bell investigation and other recent outbreaks, including deaths linked to listeria in caramel apples. “What I can say is we’re committed to

staying on top of outbreaks and evaluating potential cases as the evidence warrants.”

Other recent actions prompted by the Justice Department during the Obama administration: • A 2013 guilty plea from Colorado brothers who grew and sold listeria-tainted cantaloupe that killed more than 30 people in 2011.

• A 2014 plea deal, resulting in prison time and millions of dollars in fines, between the government and an Iowa egg company and its executives. An outbreak of salmonella linked to the eggs sickened almost 2,000 people in 2010.

• A May 2015 settlement with ConAgra Foods for $11.2 million after the company shipped Peter Pan peanut butter tainted with salmonella from a plant in Georgia, sickening more than 600 people in 2006. That sum includes the highest criminal fine in a U.S. food safety case.

Bill Marler, a food safety lawyer who has represented victims in many of those cases, says Justice’s recent activity is especially notable because in many of the cases, company executives didn’t know they were shipping out tainted food, but they were hit with criminal charges anyway.

“It’s been very much of a sea change,” Marler said.

“Once you start down this road you have to decide whether you are going to do it all the time or selectively.”

In his effort to put food companies on warning, Delery spoke to food manufacturers at a safety meeting in Dallas last month. He said the majority of American food is safe, but “even a tiny minority” can cause harm.

“The criminal prosecutions we bring should stand as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of disregarding danger to one’s customers in the name of getting a shipment out on time — of sacrificing what is right for what is expedient,” he told the food companies.
