NEW YORK — Claiming her place in history, Hillary Clinton declared victory Tuesday night in her bruising battle for the Democratic presidential nomination, becoming the first woman to lead a major American political party and casting herself as the beneficiary of
generations who fought for equality. “This campaign is about making sure there are no ceilings, no limits on any of us,” Clinton said during an emotional rally in Brooklyn, eight years to the day after she ended her first failed White House run. As she took the stage to raucous cheers, she paused to relish the moment, flinging her Continued on Page 12
How laws would change • Wine sales: About 14,000 holders of takeout beer licenses would be able to sell up to four bottles of wine to a customer. The sales would be by licensed restaurants, bars, hotels, supermarkets and delis. • Beer sales: The sale of beer at convenience stores, which has begun as a result of court rulings, would be codified into state law. • Direct shipment: Pennsylvania consumers could have wine shipped directly to them by private wine wholesalers. • Casinos: Liquor sales would be allowed 24 hours a day, compared with 19 hours under current law. • State liquor stores: The roughly 600 state liquor stores would get more flexibility about hours and to set pricing. They would also be allowed to sell lottery tickets and set up customer loyalty programs. Meanwhile, a study would be undertaken to review proposals for full privatization.

Hillary Clinton claims historic victory in Democratic primary By JULIE PACE and LISA LERER
HARRISBURG — Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to loosen Pennsylvania’s tightly controlled liquor system by letting groceries and other outlets sell takeout wine and by formalizing beer sales in convenience stores that have begun as a result of court cases. The House voted 157-31 to send the proposal to the desk of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf after a debate in which members said the changes carried considerable public support. “What we’re trying to do today is exactly what my constituents would like to see take place,” said Rep. Lee James, R-Venango. The bill that passed the Senate in December — with most Democrats op-
posed — would let some 14,000 holders of takeout beer licenses sell up to four bottles of wine to a customer. It would allow takeout wine sales in licensed restaurants, bars, hotels, supermarkets and delis. Wolf issued a statement calling the measure “historic liquor modernization legislation that provides greater customer convenience” and promising to review the bill “to ensure it meets my goals of enhancing the customer experience, increasing much-needed revenue to help balance our budget and bringing our wine and spirits system into the 21st century.” The bill, backed Tuesday by 46 Democrats, drew strong objections from the head of the Continued on Page 12

California sends 2 Democratic women to runoff By MICHAEL R. BLOOD Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — In a historic first, California voters Tuesday sent two Democrats, both minority women, to a November runoff for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat. The matchup between state Attorney General Kamala Harris and 10-term Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez marks the first time since voters started electing senators a century ago that Republicans will be absent from California’s general election ballot for the Senate. The outcome reaffirms the GOP’s diminished stature in the nation’s most populous state. The two were among 34 candidates seeking the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer, a liberal favorite first elected a generation ago, in 1992. Under California election rules, only two candidates — the top vote-getters — advance to the November election. Harris had a wide lead in unKAMALA official reHARRIS turns and in a forceful showing was ahead in all but a handful of the state’s 58 counties. Sanchez, LORETTA from Orange SANCHEZ County, had a secure hold on second place. “The stakes are high. The eyes of the country are on us, and I know we are prepared to do ourselves and our state and our fellow Californians proud,” Harris told cheering supporters at a celebration rally. She warned that voters in the upcoming campaign would “hear a lot of that rhetoric that tries to divide us, that is trying to tell us that somehow, we should start pointing fingers at who all among us is to blame, instead of understanding that instead, we should be embracing and wrapping our arms around each other, understanding we are all in this together.” Earlier in the day, Sanchez hinted they she planned to attack Harris’ record. “Hopefully we’ll see what Miss Harris stands for, I haven’t really gotten an indication of that yet,” Sanchez said of the coming runoff. “I know where I stand on issues, I’ve got 20 years of votes.” With 3.7 million votes tallied, Harris had about 1.5 million votes, or 40 percent. Sanchez was at 17 percent, with about 640,000 votes. Harris performed strongly in the San Francisco Bay Area, her stronghold, but was also leading in strongly Hispanic Los Angeles County and was about tied with Sanchez in the congresswoman’s home county, Orange. Republican candidates were lagging in single digits. Duf Sundheim, a Silicon Valley lawyer and a former chairman of the California Republican Party, was leading a cluster of Republicans trailing the two Democrats. In a year when millions of voters embraced outsider candidates in the presidential contest, California Sen-
ate voters appeared impressed with the two Democrats’ deep experience. Hoai Le, a 62-year-old mechanic from Santa Ana, said he was backing Sanchez because of her two decades in Congress. “She’s been there for a while. She knows how the system works,” said Le, an independent, after casting his ballot at a community center. “She can do a lot better than the new guy.”
Jeanette Wright of San Francisco, a 47-year-old executive assistant with the state, said she was impressed with Harris, a career prosecutor. “She’s a strong woman. She’s been around. She knows what’s going on with San Francisco. She knows what’s going on with the community,” Wright, a Democrat, said of the attorney general. If elected this fall, Harris,

DISTRICT COURT DOCKET By The Indiana Gazette The following defendants have been named in criminal charges filed before Magisterial District Judge George Thachik, Clymer. Criminal complaints and affidavits of probable cause are not evidence of guilt in a criminal case. Defendants are entitled to legal representation and have the right to question the witnesses and evidence presented against them during preliminary hearings in the district court and at trials in the county court of common pleas. Named were: • Charles E. Jones, 46, Blairsville, charged May 4 by state police with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence and three summary traffic violations at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 8 along Route 119 in East Mahoning Township. Police said they were dispatched to a vehicle accident where Jones had crashed his truck along Route 119 and was flown by medical helicopter due to injuries. During a search of the vehicle, troopers said they found what they suspected was methamphetamine glass smoking pipes, and other suspected paraphernalia and prescription drugs. Court records show the presence of psuedophedrine, amphetamine, methamphetamine and diazepam in Jones’ system. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. • Olivia N. Depaul, 19, Blairsville, charged May 10 by state police with possession of drug paraphernalia at 10:51 a.m. April 18 at 195 Brush Road in Rayne Township.

Summer Food Program provides free lunches to children in need Children receive more than just an education at school. In Indiana County 4,438, or 45 percent, of schoolage children are eligible for free or reduced school lunches. These children account for a potential total of 266,280 missed lunches because the resources available to them through their schools during the school year are no longer present during the summer. To alleviate this challenge, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Food Security Partnership (The Partnership) participate in the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program (locally known as the Summer Food Program). In 2015, working with community organizations, The Partnership helped facilitate 7,317 meals being served to children throughout Indiana County. By continuing to work with partners in the county, the plan is to expand programming and thereby
increase the number of meals served in 2016. “Children are one of the most vulnerable populations we serve,” said Lisa Scales, president and CEO of the food bank. “They are the future leaders of our nation, but without the proper nutrition they are three times more likely to face a lifetime of health issues and at least two times as likely to face learning and behavioral roadblocks that prevent them from flourishing. As a community we need to step up to the call and provide for these children so that they can become successful adults.” By partnering with local schools, summer programs, churches and other community organizations, the Summer Food Program is able to provide meals to children through the summer months, often in a creative and engaging way. Many sites offer free activities for participants in addition to the meals such as sports and Kid’s Cook programming, which involves taste-testing of
new food, nutrition education and cooking lessons that don’t require hazardous kitchen tools. Community Action Council Inc. at Chevy Chase Community Center (CCCC) teamed up with the Summer Food Program because it provided the opportunity to further its mission of providing a venue for the community to come together to offer support to those living in poverty. “The Indiana organization has never wavered in its commitment to bring members of the greater Indiana community together striving to provide services in response to the needs of the community as they arise,” said Beverly Stiffler, executive director of the Chevy Chase Community Action Council Inc. “The Summer Food Program is an opportunity for us to come together as a community and ensure that our children have the nutrition they need throughout the summer so that they can return to school properly prepared
to learn.” Through the efforts of CCCC and the many great community organizations and school districts that sponsor Summer Food Program sites throughout the county, the summer meal gap for children will continue to shrink. There are no qualification standards for children 18 and under to attend a site and no paperwork is required to participate. Families looking for a Summer Food Program site closest to them can call 2-1-1 or text FOOD to 877-877. Sponsors in Indiana County include the Chevy Chase Community Center, Homer-Center School District, Penns Manor School District, Purchase Line School District, United School District and YMCA of Indiana County. Any organizations or individuals interested in learning more about how to become involved with the Summer Food Program can contact the Partnership by email at part nership@gpcfb.org.

The council did not take action on this request in the absence of bor-
ough manager Rob Nymick. Police Chief Louis Sacco reported that the Homer City Firemen’s Carnival “went well,” with “not really any major problems.” Sacco said that the police department has started planning for September’s Hoodlebug Festival, but did not provide further details.
Council voted to make a $199 donation to the Officer Field Program provided through the Homer City Police Department at Homer-Center Elementary school. Sacco called the program an “education through entertainment” initiative that’s held for students in grades kindergarten to six that teaches about stranger danger, drugs and alcohol and other topics.
Senate considers bill to protect energy jobs The state Senate was poised to pass legislation today intended to protect family-sustaining Pennsylvania jobs placed at risk by the federal Clean Power Plan, according to Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, the prime sponsor of the measure. Senate Bill 1195, as amended by a 47-3 bipartisan vote on Tuesday, includes provisions addressing Pennsylvania’s compliance with the federal Clean Power Plan. Specifically, the bill provides procedures for the General Assembly’s consideration of the implementation strategy developed by the Department of Environmental Protection for the federal Clean Power Plan before its submission
to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. “Senate Bill 1195 is a compromise agreement between the General Assembly and Governor Wolf that provides important safeguards that protect local energy-producing industries and the thousands of workers they employ from overreaching regulations that could come with Pennsylvania’s compliance with the federal Clean Power Plan. The U.S. Supreme Court has suspended the implementation of the Clean Power Plan rules for further discussion and evaluation, so it only makes sense for Pennsylvania to follow that approach,” White said in a release. “The language in Senate
Bill 1195 would allow the General Assembly to give Pennsylvania’s plan thoughtful consideration before it is submitted,” White said. “It is essential that the Legislature be proactive in protecting our industries. The state regulations to comply with this federal edict could have a devastating impact on those industries.” The bill is supported by several organized labor groups, including the AFLCIO, the Pennsylvania State Building and Construction Trades Council; the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 66; the Boilermakers Local 13; the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; and the United
Mine Workers of America. “For decades, the Senate district I represent has been known as ‘Power Alley’ as we are home to three very large coal-fired powers plants, a coal refuse plant and a natural gas plant. The economic vitality of my region depends on these powergenerating facilities and the fuel they consume,” White said. “The global downturn in the energy economy is well known and my district has taken more than its fair share of body blows during this difficult time. Senate Bill 1195 was expected to be passed by the Senate today and go to the House of Representatives for consideration, according to White.

Volunteer earns national award; summer fun set By LISA SHADE news@indianagazette.net
Karen Facteau, a Girl Scouts volunteer in Indiana, earned the Thanks Badge I, a national award from Girl Scouts of the USA. This honor is given to a registered Girl Scout volunteer whose service continues to impact the entire council of Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania (GSWPA) or the Girl Scout movement in extraordinary ways and is separate from service that has been previously recognized. A Girl Scout volunteer for 25 years, Facteau is a Service Unit team member in Indiana, a Program Team member, and co-director of Blue Spruce Day Camp. Lindy Fails, co-director of Blue Spruce Day camp, nominated Facteau for the award. “Karen is always enthusiastic about Girl Scouts and gives it her all,” Fails said. “She has a Girl Scout heart.” Fails isn’t the only one singing Facteau’s praises. GSWPA staff members also applaud her hard work and commitment to the Girl Scout movement. “Karen is amazing,” said Brandy Varner, GSWPA recruitment specialist. “Her love of Girl Scouting and commitment to supporting our mission is evident in all that she does.” Annie Wardrop, Girl Experience specialist, added, “Karen is 110 percent dedicated to helping girls reach their full potential. I admire her dedication and enthusiasm!” Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania CEO Patricia A. Burkart presented the award to Facteau at the council’s annual meeting in April.

PAUL KRUGMAN
Ali’s biggest wins outside ring By The San Diego Union-Tribune uhammad Ali was already almost a ghostly presence in American life. He struggled to speak and to move comfortably because of the Parkinson’s disease that began afflicting him not long after his boxing career ended in 1981. As he trembled lighting the Olympic flame to open the Summer Games in Atlanta in 1996, those who had seen Ali grow from a charismatic sports superstar to a beloved cultural and civil rights icon struggled, too. That was both affirming and agonizing to see. His death Friday night at a Phoenix hospital triggered an immense outpouring of sadness, appreciation and awe at everything he had achieved. Of all famous American athletes — perhaps of all Americans — only Jackie Robinson was a peer. Imagine if a pro athlete in the media-saturated world of 2016 was a simultaneous symbol of principle, defiance, excellence and charm. He would be like “Michael Jordan multiplied by Lady Gaga,” in the words of Keith Olbermann. Ali was born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. in Louisville in 1942 at a time of segregation and Jim Crow. His boxing skills lifted him to a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, and in 1964, he claimed the world heavyweight championship by defeating Sonny Liston in Miami Beach — living up to his prediction that he would “shock the world.” Malcolm X, one of his Muslim mentors, was ringside for the victory. America had never seen an athlete — or anyone — like Clay. Brash and handsome, “as elegant as Duke
M
Ellington,” in the words of biographer David Remnick, he — and we — delighted in his wordplay. Yet when Clay announced he had taken the Muslim name Muhammad Ali as a disciple of the Nation of Islam, the mainstream media refused to use it for years. And when he refused to serve in the military in 1967, citing his Muslim beliefs and his opposition to the Vietnam War, he became reviled in much of mainstream America. “My conscience won’t let me go and shoot them. They never called me n——–, they never lynched me,” he said in a TV interview. “How can I shoot those poor people? Just take me to jail.” He never went. To Vietnam or jail. Instead, sentenced to five years in prison for his refusal to enlist and kept from boxing for more than three years of his prime, Ali went on to become one of the most enduring symbols of the civil rights and anti-war movements of the 1960s, a decade whose unrest defines America to this day. In the 1970s, Ali began his evolution from American pariah to American hero. The Supreme Court upheld his appeal in 1971, holding that his conscientious objector status was a valid reflection of his religious beliefs. The unanimous decision validated what he said in 1967: “I am confident that justice will come my way, for the truth must eventually prevail.” And so his truth became the country’s. The public turned on the Vietnam War, and, eventually, so did sportswriters who for many years after his religious conversion continued to call him Cassius Clay. In the ring, he became a legend, over and over, by
shrewdly allowing George Foreman to tire himself out in the heat of an outdoor stadium in Kinshasa, Zaire, to regain the heavyweight title in 1974 — and by defending the title in the “Thrilla in Manila,” an epic, bruising brawl with Joe Frazier in the Philippines in 1975. Ali was human. His verbal cruelty toward archrival Frazier remains unfathomable, and his attitudes about women and his four marriages will be weighed against the millions of dollars he donated to build mosques and other Muslim causes and the faith he inspired in humanity. But even as Parkinson’s dulled his outsized personality, he never lost his essential kindness toward others. That remained on display in daily dealings with the public and his many humanitarian and philanthropic efforts. His willingness to remain a public figure even as a diminished, ghostly version of himself showcased a courage that rivaled the one he showed the world as a 25-year-old defying the United States government. To the end, what President Obama called his “wonderful, infectious, even innocent spirit” shone through. “Too many people go to their grave with their music still inside them. Muhammad Ali lived the gift of life to the fullest. He inspired tens of millions of people. He brought light where there was darkness,” one of his biographers, Thomas Hauser, wrote. He was, in the words of his daughter, a “humble mountain.” Goodbye, Muhammad Ali. You moved mountains. You moved us. Tribune Content Agency

Romney, who won 206 electoral votes, or Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, who has never run for national office, or any lesser-known candidate would win 270 votes. It just won’t happen. Indeed, third-party advocates concede there was never a chance. “The way this would happen would never be to win 270,” one such advocate said in a recent conversation. “That was never a plausible scenario.” Knowing they would never hit the winning number, the third-party planners instead hoped to create a situation in which neither the Republican nor the Democratic candidate
party at 6. The election would then go to the House of Representatives. It’s far-fetched, to say the least — no Republican has won Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania since George H.W. Bush drafted on Ronald Reagan’s popularity in 1988. But even if Trump pulls it off, and also wins every other state Romney took in 2012, what are the chances a relatively obscure candidate could accomplish what Perot could not — winning a state? Not very high. And even if all that happened and the election went to the House of Representatives, there are more in-
surmountable problems. The Constitution specifies that the vote be taken by state, with each state given one vote for president. So a state with a Democratic majority in its House delegation would cast one vote for Clinton. And a state with a Republican majority would cast one vote for ... who? The Constitution says the House must vote for one of the top three candidates in number of electoral votes. That means no Paul Ryan or other outsider scenario. So the president would be Clinton, Trump or the third-party candidate. Assuming the House is still in Republican hands — remember, this would be next January, when the House that is elected this November takes office — does anyone believe that Republican politicians, acting in concert within their state delegations, would select the candidate with six electoral votes over the candidate with 267? Some third-party advocates embrace other scenarios. In one, an independent candidate would draw just a point or two from Trump in a few closely contested states — enough for Trump to lose. But that, of course, would lead not to third-party victory but to a Hillary Clinton win, which is an outcome some longtime Republican #NeverTrumpers cannot publicly support. Other scenarios rely on the hope that something crazy will happen. Perhaps Trump will implode, or a third-party candidate will emerge on the left. After all, it’s been an unpredictable year. Finally, some third-party advocates concede they have little chance of winning but just want a candidate for whom a conservative who can’t accept Clinton or Trump can vote in good conscience. It’s still not clear whether the thirdparty run will actually happen. Organizers have promised a strong organization and plenty of money. But with only pie-in-the-sky scenarios, and so far no candidate, hope — and enthusiasm — are dwindling.

EgyptAir jet lands after bomb threat CAIRO (AP) — An EgyptAir aircraft that made an emergency landing today in Uzbekistan following a bomb threat has landed in Beijing, Egyptian officials said. The officials said no bomb was found after the Airbus A-330-220 and its passengers were searched by explosives experts and the plane took off for the Chinese capital four hours after it landed in the town of Urgench, about 600 miles west of the Uzbek capital, Tashkent. According to the officials, an anonymous caller telephoned security agents at the Cairo airport to say a bomb was on board EgyptAir Flight 955 which had 135 passengers and crew on board. The agents immediately contacted the aircraft and ordered it to land at the nearest airport, they said.
Rare leopard escapes at zoo in Utah By HALLIE GOLDEN and LINDSAY WHITEHURST Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — When she got word of a leopard on the loose at the zoo in Salt Lake City, Katie Boender ducked into the nearest building with her group of preschool students: a bathroom. They spent the next 30 minutes holed up there as an emergency team tranquilized the rare animal that escaped from an enclosure Tuesday morning. The big cat was perched close to home, sleeping on a wooden support beam right above where people would have clustered to watch her.
A visitor spotted the 4year-old female shortly after the Hogle Zoo opened, according to spokeswoman Erica Hansen. After zookeepers raised the alarm, workers communicating on radios fanned out to shoo visitors to the nearest buildings under a protocol they practice several times a year. Diggy Hicks-Little, of Guildford, England, said employees stood guard with mops and brooms outside the reptile house where she waited with her family. “I don’t think you can really comprehend the fact that you might come face to face with a leopard,” she said.
ZEYA is a 60-pound Amur leopard. The animal left visible claw marks on the wooden perch as she hung on briefly before the dart took full effect, but after she was sedated she was transported quickly to a back room. No one was hurt, and the Amur leopard is expected to be fine after the tranquil-
izer wears off, said Nancy Carpenter, associate director of animal health at the zoo. Visitors said the situation played out calmly, and many returned to the zoo when it reopened after about an hour. Authorities said they were lucky it happened early, before the zoo was full of visitors, and that the cat was asleep when she was found. “This was the perfect scenario,” Carpenter said. Officials are investigating how the leopard managed to escape the tall steelgrade mesh that surrounds the top and sides of her enclosure. It’s not clear how long she

Investigation sought at Mass. egg farm BOSTON (AP) — The Humane Society of the United States is asking for a probe of what it calls cruel and inhumane conditions at New England’s largest egg-producing farm. The group released a video it says was shot by a worker at the facility in Turner, Maine. The organization says the video shows egg-laying hens crammed into wire cages so small they cannot spread their wings and sometimes surrounded by the decaying carcasses of other birds. The operator of the facility, Pennsylvania-based Hillandale Farms, said it has high standards of care for its hens but would also review procedures at the farm and address any problems. The Humane Society is among sponsors of a Massachusetts proposal that would ban the sale of food products from farms that hold animals in overly restrictive cages.

Government report details nation’s school absenteeism
Man drowns diving for golf balls
By JENNIFER C. KERR and MEGHAN HOYER
WAVERLY, Ohio (AP) — Authorities said an Ohio man drowned while diving for golf balls in a pond at a country club. Authorities said Charles Hill, 63, was diving in full scuba gear on Tuesday at the Dogwood Hills Golf Course near the village of Waverly, in the southern part of the state. The man’s son, who also had been diving in the pond, called 911 and said his father went underwater and never resurfaced. It took dive teams about 20 minutes to find the man’s body in about 8 feet of water, about 50 feet from the shore. Authorities said Hill was an experienced diver. The drowning remains under investigation.
WASHINGTON — The government is out with discouraging new figures on how many students are habitually missing school — and an AP analysis finds the problem is particularly acute in Washington, D.C., where nearly a third of students in the nation’s capital were absent 15 days or more in a single school year. Washington state and Alaska weren’t far behind, with absentee rates hovering around a quarter of students with that level of absences. Florida had the lowest rate of absences: 4.5 percent of students in the state were chronically missing school in the 2013-14 school year. The national average in the 2013-14 school year was 13 percent, more than 6.5 million students, a number that Bob Balfanz, a research professor at Johns Hopkins University and director of the Everyone Graduates Center, called disturbing. “If you’re not there, you don’t learn, and then you fall behind, you don’t pass your classes, you don’t get the credits in high school and that’s what leads to dropping out,” Balfanz said. Tuesday’s report marked the first release of chronic absentee figures from the department. According to AP’s analysis, girls were just as likely as boys to habitually miss school. Nearly 22 percent of all American Indian students were reported as regularly absent, followed by Native Hawaiians at 21 percent and black students at 17 percent. Hispanic and white students were close to the national average of 13 percent. Of the 100 largest school districts by enrollment, the Detroit City School District had the highest rate of chronic absenteeism. Nearly 58 percent of students were chronically absent in the 2013-14 school year. Students are regularly missing school for lots of reasons, Balfanz says. Many are poor and could be staying home to care for a sibling or
Philly student never missed a day PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia high school senior is set to graduate with perfect attendance for 13 years. WPVI-TV reported that James Dudley has never missed a day of school. The Rev. James Dalton, principal of Father Judge High School, has confirmed Dudley’s attendance record and said the student has had no conduct issues during his time at the all-boys Catholic high school. The principal said a student graduates with perfect attendance about once a decade. He said he thinks it “says more about the parents, who make sure he gets out the door each day and gets to school.” Dudley is set to graduate tonight. He plans to study meteorology at Holy Family University.
was out, but zoo staff saw her inside the enclosure at about 7 a.m. and the escape was reported a couple of hours later. The leopard named Zeya is a petite, 60-pound animal that has only been at the zoo for a few years. She was brought in from a sanctuary in England to mate with the zoo’s other Amur leopard, Hansen said. He is in a separate enclosure and did not escape. Amur leopards are considered critically endangered, according to the conservation organization World Wildlife Fund. There are only about 60 of them left in the wild.

helping with elder care. Others are avoiding school because they’re being bullied or they worry it’s not safe. And then, there are some students who simply skip school. Schools should be creating welcoming environments to make students feel wanted each day, Balfanz says. They also need to build relationships with the kids who are regularly absent to figure out what’s keeping them away, he said. The Obama administration began a program last fall called Every Student, Every Day. It partners with states and local groups in 30 communities to identify mentors to help habitually absent kids get back on track. Chronic absenteeism is one of several topics covered in the department’s Civil Rights Data Collection,

Other figures: • Black preschool children are 3.6 times as likely to get one or more out-of-school suspensions as their white counterparts. • Black children represent 19 percent of preschoolers, yet they account for 47 percent of preschool kids getting suspended. • White students make up 41 percent of preschoolers, and 28 percent of preschool kids with suspensions. • Across the country, 2.8 million K-12 students received one or more out-ofschool suspensions — a nearly 20 percent drop from the number reported two years ago.
COOPER TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Authorities were seeking a pickup truck due to reports that it was driving erratically minutes before it struck a group of bicyclists on a street in western Michigan, killing five, a local prosecutor said. Four other bicyclists suffered serious injuries in the crash early Tuesday evening in Cooper Township and were being treated at area hospitals, Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeffrey Getting said during a news conference Tuesday night. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims,” Getting said. “I can’t even begin to imagine what they’re going through.” The driver of the pickup, described as a 50-year-old western Michigan man, fled from the wrecked vehicle, and police caught him a short time later. He remains in custody. No charges have yet been filed, but they could come by Thursday, Getting said. Authorities began receiving calls about a blue pickup truck about 30 minutes before the crash, he said. Concerns were “about the manner in which that vehicle was being driven,” Getting added, without addressing possible reasons for the erratic driving. Several agencies were searching for the pickup when the first report of the bicyclists getting hit came in just after 6:30 p.m., he said. No officers were actively pursuing the truck at the time it crashed. The bicyclists had been riding as a group. Their names and ages were not immediately released because family members were still being notified. The group included men and women but no children, as an official had said previously. Early information is that they were northbound and on the right shoulder of the road when they were struck from behind, Getting said. Markus Eberhard was leaving a nearby park after fishing and said he nearly was hit by the pickup. He was unable to warn the bicyclists. “I saw a bunch of bikes hit the front of his truck and a couple of them flew,” Eberhard told WOODTV. Paramedics and fire crews rushed to the scene, Getting said. Few other details were released Tuesday night. “There’s very little I can and will tell you about exactly how this incident happened,” Getting said. He declined to answer several questions about the suspect and said the man’s name would not be released until his office has had an opportunity to make a determination about charges.
Pakistani woman burns daughter alive LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — A Pakistani woman was arrested today after dousing her daughter with kerosene and burning her alive, allegedly because the girl had defied her family to marry a man she was in love with, police said. Police official Sheikh
Hammad said the killing took place in Lahore, the country’s cultural hub, and that the mother was arrested the same day. The suspect, Parveen Rafiq, has confessed to tying up her 18-year-old daughter Zeenat Rafiq to a cot after which, with the
help of her son, Ahmar Rafiq, she poured the oil on the girl and set her ablaze. Nearly 1,000 women are killed each year in so-called “honor killings” in Pakistan for violating norms on love and marriage. A schoolteacher, Maria Bibi, was assaulted and set
on fire last week for refusing to marry a man twice her age. Before she died, she managed to give a statement to the police, testifying that five attackers had broken into her home, dragged her out to an open area, beat her and set her ablaze.
The prime suspect in the case — the father of the man she refused to marry — and the other four are all in custody. Zeenat Rafiq had gotten married last month before a court magistrate to a motorcycle mechanic, Hasan Khan.

Photographers reflect on changes in senior portraits By HANS MADSEN The (Fort Dodge) Messenger
FORT DODGE, Iowa — As the annual round of graduations wrap up, one of the common items seen on display at the family celebrations afterwards is a mounted collection of the graduate’s senior portraits. How those images are taken, and how many make it to the spot of honor above the fireplace mantle, has changed over the decades. Howard Haase, who retired from Haase Photography in 2003 and just finished his last year as the program director for the Iowa Central Community College photography program, looked back at what was once pretty simple. “It was just a head and shoulders shot,” he said. “At the time, they were black and white and you might have a few three quarter shots too.” If a client wanted color, it was added later. “They used transparent oil and then tinted them,” he said. The process was expensive and labor intensive. It was usually only done to one print, the one the family would display. “My wallets were black and white,” Haase said of his own high school graduation photos. Maureen Powers, owner of Buckroyd Studio, began her photography career in 1973. Her own senior portrait, from 1970, was in color. “We didn’t switch to color in the studio till the late 1960s,” she said. While working with color film made it easier for the photographers, it also eliminated a few jobs. The skilled workers who tinted the photographs were no longer needed. “A lot of ladies lost their jobs,” she said. Powers said that senior portraits, or graduation photographs as they were also known, remained relatively static and unchanging for decades. “I’ve looked at pictures from the early 1900s,” she said. “From then until my day it stayed the head and shoulders portrait.” But in the early 1970s, photographers began tak-

MAUREEN POWERS posed with her old medium format film camera in her studio in Iowa. ing graduation portraits outside the studio. “Photographers started taking the kids outside,” Powers said. “It was partly inside and partly holding up a tree outside.” Haase got in on the early era of color too. “When I got started, color was coming on strong,” he said. “It gave people the idea that portraits didn’t have to be taken in the studio. The reduction in the size of the equipment made it more feasible.” As the outdoor portrait trend continued, more and more students began having their portraits taken with things that were important in their lives. “The guys loved to bring their cars, motorcycles and pets,” Haase said. Powers saw that happening too. Sports gear, musical instruments, hobby items and pets were common. “That got really rolling in the ’80s,” she said. “Ghost” portraits were a trend that came and went with the ’80s. The photographer had to do a double exposure, which resulted in two images on the negative, one of which appeared to float on the black background. Some studios also had a system that would project an outdoor image behind the senior having their portrait taken. It didn’t work very well. “It was incredibly fakelooking,” Powers said.
Digital photography, and the ability to work with the images on computers, began to reach into the studios as the ’90s were ending. For Haase, it was a gradual transition. “We photographed on color negative film, then scanned the negatives,” he said. He retired from the studio before going completely digital. While Powers still owns the film cameras she once used for portraits, they now spend their time in a cabinet rather than on location. She predicted that location photographs, rather than studio work, will continue to grow, mostly due to changes in who is hanging up their sign and calling themselves photographers. “The entry-level aspiring professionals don’t have studios,” she said. “They’re working out of their basement or a spare room.” Powers sees the digital imaging and the post-studio photo manipulation as a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can make touching up minor blemishes easy and seamless. On the other, it can get completely out of hand. “Photographers are relying more and more on software than hardware,” she said. “The Photoshop thing has just gone wild. I’ve seen images where they end up looking like porcelain dolls with glowing eyes. They think this is
the new hot thing.” Other trends, such as glowing white backgrounds, seem to be driven by popular culture. “It’s just like clothing,” Powers said. “It’s patterned out of Hollywood and fashions.” Today, it’s also popular to photograph seniors in rather rough-looking urban settings, such as old brick alleys. “I did that in the ’80s” Powers said. “The mothers did not like it. Now it’s standard.” One thing that drives what the photographer is ultimately able to sell to the client is what the person writing the check wants. With senior portraits, that’s usually the parents. Their word, she said, is final. “With all these trends,” Powers said, “you do them. But the ones that sell are the closeups where you can see them smiling. At the end of the day, the parents still want the close shot with them smiling.” How people view images has also changed, particularly among those who grew up using computers. Powers’ clients can view their images online, but have to come into the studio to purchase prints. Some studios do sell the images digitally and without a print, but the images are vulnerable to being lost when computers die and smart phones get dropped in the sink. “I still think it’s valid to get hard copies,” she said. Wardrobe and hairstyles that seem trendy and cool this year, well, not so much a decade down the road. On that list, mullet hair cuts, big ’90s hair, poofy shoulders, rainbow suspenders and a host of other things, such as colored hair gels. “Parents didn’t like that one either,” Powers said. The man bun is probably on that list too. Powers will continue to take some traditional photos for her seniors. “I still do a lot of the traditional stuff,” she said. “Years down the road, that’s what people will want rather than the shot with somebody running through the weeds where you can’t see them.”

A look at the high costs clutter can cause OK, I’ll confess right upfront. I’m a clutterbug. However, unlike other clutterbugs, I don’t hang onto junk. No way. My stuff is all highly desirable and very useful. And I plan to use all of it. Someday. Soon. I was born with a propensiEmail ty to be a pack questions or rat. I don’t know tips to where that came mary@every from, and quite daycheap frankly, it doesn’t skate.com or matter. Everyday I have a probCheapskate, lem, and I’m 12340 Seal learning to deal Beach Blvd., with it. And I’m Suite B-416, happy to say I’ve Seal Beach, CA made excellent 90740. progress. But no progress was made until I was willing to admit to the high cost of clutter in my life. Disorder creates distractions and confusion. Clutter costs us
EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE time, money and for some, even jobs. Here are some of the costs clutter can cause: MONEY: Let’s get this one out of the way. Case in point: There were three bottles of seasoned rice vinegar sitting in my pantry, two of them hopelessly past their “best if used by” date. Why? Because one was in the pantry, the other was in a cupboard, and the third was in the refrigerator — a discovery I made when I determined it was time to get organized. I can only assume that I kept buying bottles because I didn’t recall having one already. If you have such a careless attitude about everything — batteries, lightbulbs, tape, glue, tools, clothes, shoes, food or any other kind of household item — it’s easy to see that disorganization breeds clutter. And, disorganization creates a horrible financial drain.
EFFICIENCY: Clutter makes every job much harder, it makes every job take much longer, and it makes every job far more frustrating. Don Aslett, cleaning expert and author of “Clutter’s Last Stand: It’s Time to De-Junk Your Life!” says that 80 percent of the space in our homes is occupied by stuff we never use, which indicates, of course, that these are items we do not need. TIME: Clutter makes every job more difficult. You spend more time on chores because it takes longer to prepare to do them — finding a clear spot, hunting for the tools, etc. — than it takes to actually do the job. Cleaning takes longer because you have to constantly move piles of stuff around to reach surfaces. Clutter takes up time you could have used to do something you really enjoy. STRESS: There is no doubt that a cluttered space creates chaos. A very cluttered home is a trigger for fighting and bickering among residents. I am fully aware that clutter makes my heart race and my head swim. It messes with my ability to concentrate, which, if
you talk to my staff and family members, is already at risk. Clutter captures my brain, causing me to procrastinate and giving me a strong desire to escape. It’s amazing to me how the condition of our living environment affects our physical and emotional wellbeing. HEALTH: Everything stored in your home, everything hidden in your home, and everything displayed indiscreetly in your home, is also stored in your mind. It all subconsciously drains your mental energy. Peter Walsh, author of “Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?”, presents a credible argument that the secret to successfully losing weight is to forget about calorie counting and weekly weigh-ins. Instead, he says, we need to focus on where, why and how we eat. In other words, we need to focus on where, why and how clutter builds in our home. Clutter negatively affects our ability to lead a full and healthy life. PEACE AND QUIET: It has been said that clutter is mental noise. What a perfect description. For
me, clutter is a near-audible noise, too. The greater the mess, the louder the noise. And the noise is not harmonious. I would characterize the noise of clutter as a cacophony, a dissonance more annoying than fingernails on a chalkboard. WASTEFULNESS: Clutter, disorganization, domestic chaos — these are conditions that foster wastefulness. I’m talking about the food that spoiled because the refrigerator was in such turmoil that no one knew the pricey fruits and vegetables were stuck way in the back. And that’s just the tip of the waste iceberg. Disorder isn’t created overnight, and neither is order. Organization takes time, so start now.

Blast walls transform Afghan capital into maze By KARIM SHARIFI and LYNNE O’DONNELL Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — Blast walls mushroom in the Afghan capital after each massive attack or a big bombing, turning Kabul into a maze of concrete in a sad testimony that war still remains very much part of life here. For some, the walls feel like a prison — a far cry from the gardens and peaceful hues that dotted Kabul in the 1960s, before the Taliban. For others, the walls thwart potential suicide bombers and keep their children safe. Each time the city is targeted, more public space disappears. The wealthy and the connected erect the walls on the streets outside their homes, sparing no costs to cordon off their quarters and seemingly unconcerned for residents who suffer in choking traffic jams that result. Afghanistan has been in conflict for almost 40 years and at war with the Taliban for 15 years, since the U.S.led invasion of 2001. But even a “ring of steel” around Kabul, with tens of thousands of policemen, soldiers and private security guards deployed on a daily basis, has not kept attackers away. By the time a massive truck suicide bombing in April killed 64 people and wounded hundreds in the heart of Kabul, spreading panic among the city’s population of 4.5 million, the U.S. Embassy had already erected one of the city’s tallest barriers at its western entrance — a 13-foot wall, painted bright yellow, that now looms over one of Kabul’s main roundabouts. As security demands increased over the years, Hesco bags — huge sacks of steel welded mesh filled with sand and rocks — that once dominated Kabul’s landscape have been replaced by concrete blast Twalls, so called because individual blocks resemble the inverted letter T.
The walls, more known as visual landmarks of Baghdad and other Iraqi cities, are now ubiquitous across Kabul and making them is a booming business, according to Bahir Sediqi, marketing manager for Omid Khwajazada, a company on the outskirts of Kabul that manufactures the 13-ton walls. Prices are coming down due to higher demand, coupled with lower labor costs amid an unemployment crisis. Blast walls now costs $100 a square meter, he said, compared to $250 before 2014. Sediqi says his customers lately tend to prefer the 23foot model to those 10 feet high. Though he isn’t
“happy because the walls turn the city into a prison,” he says working is better than not having a job. “It’s not only the Afghan government and some foreign embassies and companies that are buying them, but rich people, too,” he said. For others, they are depressing. The walls “make you feel as if there is only fighting, violence and terror here,” said Nazir Ahmad, a Kabul resident, as he strolled past the stretch of grey concrete outside the Telecommunications Ministry. The ministry’s spokesman, Yasin Samim, defended the walls, saying the employees start-
ed receiving warnings from the police and the Afghan intelligence agency back in 2012 that their building could be targeted. “It was felt to be a necessary precaution,” he said. “We’re the center of all the nation’s information.” As the walls multiplied, they became a canvas for a group of artists calling themselves Artlords — a word play on warlords, who still play a major role in the Afghan society. Much of Artlors’ work is about eyes that look down from the walls on the passing traffic and pedestrians. Some also have a warning, painted alongside: “God and the people are watching.”

Johnstown’s former manager charged
covered about 25 miles away.
JOHNSTOWN (AP) — The former manager of Johnstown has now been charged with stealing. The Cambria County district attorney charged Carlos Gunby, 43, on Monday with stealing or mishandling more than $14,000 from Johnstown. He was charged with five counts of theft and one count of writing bad checks. Gunby didn’t return a call to his home Tuesday seeking comment. He repaid the city more than $13,000 when he resigned in December, about twice as much as an internal investigation had found missing by that time. City officials referred the matter to the DA and an audit found more missing money. The DA said the money was stolen from April 2013 through November 2015. Gunby was finance director, then appointed city manager in June 2014.

Threats made against school district officials PENN HILLS (AP) — Authorities are investigating threats made against school district officials in western Pennsylvania. Police and K-9 units patrolled the hallways on Monday after threats were made against Penn Hills School District officials prior to Monday’s school board meeting. No incidents happened at the meeting. Superintendent Nancy Hines said the threats came to the district office and were made against her and other individuals. Penn Hills Police Chief Howard Burton said the threats were made on hand-printed letters and delivered to the administrative offices. There was an extra police presence at Monday night’s meeting and officials expect that will continue as long as there is an ongoing investigation into the threats.
Police: Motorist shot to death on highway MERCERSBURG (AP) — Pennsylvania State Police reported that three people conspired to rob and kill a motorist who was ambushed after apparently stopping to examine a bag planted on a rural highway in the dead of night. State police Tuesday charged three McConnellsburg, Fulton County, residents with homicide, robbery, theft and conspiracy for the death last week of Edward Charles Gilhart, 60, of Hancock, Md. Ryan Lynn Horton, Christian Sage Harris and Emily Belle Tucker are in the Franklin County Jail without bail. Court records don’t list defense lawyers for them. Police said Gilhart was on his way to work at about 4 a.m. Thursday when he stopped and was then shot in the shoulder and head. His body was left in the road and subsequently run over by another motorist. His vehicle was re-
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police are searching for two men who robbed and shot a pizza delivery driver in the head in southwest Philadelphia. Investigators believe that the 34-year-old driver was set up by the robbers, who called in an order to be delivered to a Kingsessing home on Monday night. Lt. John Walker of the southwest detective division said the driver was forced into the passenger seat of his car and driven a short distance away. The robbers then took $60 and a cellphone and wallet from the driver. Before leaving in his vehicle, one of them shot him in the back of the head. The driver was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in critical condition but was listed as stable Tuesday morning. The delivery vehicle was later found abandoned.

Ky. sex offender Kane’s twin files kills ex-girlfriend office complaint BEAVER (AP) — A registered sex offender arrested in Kentucky on a charge he killed his western Pennsylvania girlfriend after a breakup sent his father a text message saying voices made him kill the woman, police said Tuesday. “The voices made me do it I can’t take em anymore they won’t go away,� Edward Baker Jr. texted his father after the killing of 30year-old Addaleigh Huzyak, according to a complaint. Police in Beaver charged Baker, 26, with a single count of criminal homicide in the death of Huzyak. Authorities found Huzyak dead in her Beaver apartment Monday morning after she failed to show up for work. They believe she was killed late Sunday. The Beaver County District Attorney’s office declined to say how she died before results of a Tuesday autopsy were released, calling it a complex crime scene. The affidavit police filed with a criminal complaint said she was found in
bed with injuries to her head, face, neck and arms and also detailed the text message Edward Baker Sr. told police he had received. The suspect worked at a gas station, and two coworkers called police after Baker Sr. stopped there early Monday after his son missed his shift. The father told the co-workers his son was on the run after killing Huzyak, was suicidal and had sent him a text message about the voices. The Pennsylvania State Police put out a description of Baker Jr. and the car he was believed to be driving because they believed he had left Pennsylvania. Winchester, Ky., police found Baker Jr. sleeping in his car at an Interstate 64 rest stop about 3:40 a.m. Tuesday. The suspect was jailed there on the Pennsylvania warrant and is awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania. It wasn’t immediately clear how soon that would happen, and online court records didn’t list a defense attorney for Baker.
HARRISBURG (AP) — Pennsylvania’s embattled attorney general’s administration is facing yet another employee complaint — this time from her twin sister. Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s twin has filed a wage and gender discrimination complaint against her sister’s office, The Morning Call of Allentown reported. Ellen Granahan works as a chief deputy attorney general and says her $88,509 salary is 17 to 37 percent lower than what male and female agency lawyers with similar titles earn. She filed the complaint Dec. 30 with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission. The agency gave Kane’s administration until May 12 to respond. It wasn’t clear if that happened, and neither Granahan nor Kane’s office would comment on it. Granahan has worked as a state prosecutor since 2008. After Kane was sworn in as attorney general in 2013, Granahan was pro-
moted to chief deputy attorney general of the office’s child predator section. Granahan’s promotion came with a 20 percent raise, the newspaper reported. The state Ethics Commission investigated Kane’s promotion of her sister, acting on a request by state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler. It found that Granahan’s hiring broke no rules, according to records obtained by The Morning Call. However, the Ethic Commission’s chairman, John J. Bolger, wrote to Kane in January 2014 and told her that Granahan’s selection created suspicion because Kane’s office had not established criteria to fill the vacancy. Four months after Granahan’s promotion, the state Supreme Court threatened to suspend Granahan’s law license unless she completed mandated education classes within 30 days, The Morning Call reported. Granahan complied.

Bill aims to regulate toxic chemicals By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press
DONALD TRUMP
GONZALO CURIEL
GOP denounces Trump’s remarks about judge By ERICA WERNER AP Congressional Correspondent
WASHINGTON — Leading Republicans united Tuesday in an extraordinary denunciation of Donald Trump’s attacks on a federal judge, with House Speaker Paul Ryan calling them the “textbook definition of a racist comment.� Yet Ryan stood by his endorsement of the presumptive presidential nominee. Trump asserted that his comments were being “misconstrued� but did not back down or apologize for saying that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel could not preside fairly over a case involving Trump University because of the judge’s Mexican heritage. “I do not feel that one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial, but, based on the rulings that I have received in the Trump University civil case, I feel justified in questioning whether I am receiving a fair trial,� Trump said Tuesday in a lengthy statement. He also renewed his insistence that students at the school, far from being fleeced as some of them and authorities in New York and California contend, were satisfied. Trump ended his statement by vowing not to discuss the case further, and Tuesday night he stuck to the script as he addressed supporters at Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County. Breaking from his usual off-the-cuff style, Trump delivered a measured speech, aided by a teleprompter, calling for unity while confining his criticism to presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. “I understand the responsibility of carrying the mantle, and I will never ever let you down,� Trump said. He also made an appeal to supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, saying, “We welcome you with open arms.� Trump’s change in tone came after a day in which a GOP senator who had previously indicated support for him withdrew his back-
ing and Republicans attempts to unite behind Trump looked at risk of unraveling. “While I oppose the Democratic nominee, Donald Trump’s latest statements, in context with past attacks on Hispanics, women and the disabled like me, make it certain that I cannot and will not support my party’s nominee for president regardless of the political impact on my candidacy or the Republican Party,� Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, who is in a competitive re-election race, said in a statement. Kirk suffered a stroke in 2012 and often uses a wheelchair. Kirk was the first leading Republican to publicly disavow earlier support for Trump. Most others, including Ryan, reaffirmed their plans to support him. But the situation exposed the peril for Republicans forced to answer for Trump’s latest divisive comment, distracting from their own agendas as well as their goals of winning back the White House and hanging onto Senate control. On Tuesday, Republicans were squirming over what might have been the billionaire’s most incendiary stance to date — the claim that Curiel couldn’t preside fairly over the Trump University case because the U.S.-born judge is of Mexican heritage and Trump wants to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. “I regret those comments he made. Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,� Ryan said. “I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It’s absolutely unacceptable.� “But do I believe Hillary Clinton is the answer? No, I do not,� Ryan said. Others avoided the word “racist� but made their disapproval clear. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said that “it’s time to quit attacking various people that you competed with or various minority groups in the country and get on message.�
WASHINGTON — Congress on Tuesday sent President Barack Obama a sweeping bill that would for the first time regulate tens of thousands of toxic chemicals in everyday products, from household cleaners to clothing and furniture. In a rare display of bipartisanship in an election year, the Senate backed the measure on a voice vote after Republicans and Democrats spoke enthusiastically about the legislation. Backers of the bill said it would clear up a hodgepodge of state rules and update and improve a toxic-chemicals law that has remained unchanged for 40 years. The Senate vote follows approval in the House last month. Obama is expected to sign the measure. The wide-ranging bill was more than three years in the making and had support from a broad coalition, ranging from environmental and public health groups to the chemical industry and the National Association of Manufacturers. The bill would set new safety standards for asbestos and other dangerous chemicals, including formaldehyde, styrene and
Bisphenol A, better known as BPA, that have gone unregulated for decades. The rules will impact an $800billion-a-year industry. The measure would update the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act to require the Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate new and existing chemicals against a new, risk-based safety standard that includes considerations for particularly vulnerable people such as children and pregnant women. It also establishes written deadlines for the EPA to act and makes it harder for the industry to claim chemical information is proprietary and therefore secret. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., one of the bill’s chief sponsors, said the bill’s passage ensures that “for the first time in 40 years, the United States of America will have a chemical safety program that works ... and protects families from dangerous chemicals in their daily lives.� The bill is named after the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg, a New Jersey Democrat who worked for years to fix the toxic-substance law before his death in 2013. Sen. James Inhofe, ROkla., chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, called the bill “historic�
and “a great example of the Republican-led Congress working for the American people by enacting meaningful and common-sense legislation.� Some environmental groups opposed the bill, saying it did too little to protect consumers from chemicals that have been linked to serious illnesses, including cancer, infertility, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease. Under current law only a small fraction of chemicals used in consumer goods have been reviewed for safety. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., also opposed the bill, calling it a “sweeping federal takeover of chemical regulation.� Paul said the bill would pre-empt state regulations in favor of “overzealous� federal regulations. Business groups have been asking Congress to bring clarity to what they

say in a dizzying array of state regulations, with tough rules required by liberal-leaning states such as California, Massachusetts and Vermont, and looser standards in conservative states such as Texas and Louisiana. The American Chemistry Council, which represents the chemical industry, said the bill would provide greater certainty to industry while holding the EPA accountable to impose reasonable requirements. Final passage of the legislation will “bring chemical regulation into the 21st century ... and have farreaching benefits for America’s economy and public health,� the group said a statement. The chemical bill is “not perfect,� but “meets the high goals set by the administration for meaningful reform,� the White House said in a statement.

Punxs’y girl earns top prize in Hoop Shoot Samantha Griebel, who won the 2016 Elks 8-and-9-year-old Best Shooter National Championship, was invited to Harrisburg by House Rep. Cris Dush, R-Brookville.On May 24, Dush presented Samantha, 8, of Punxsutawney, with an honorary citation on the House floor for her accomplishments. To earn the title of best shooter in the country, Samantha had to place first in every level of the Elks Hoop Shoot contest. She finished first at the local Punxsutawney Elks Hoop Shoot. She then won the West Central District contest in Kittanning after tying and winning a triple tie breaker. Next, she traveled to State College and won the title of state champion. She then advanced to the regional competition,
in Wilkes-Barre, where she won against competitors from New York and New Jersey. Her final stop was in Chicago, where she competed against 11 other finalists from around the country. Samantha tied rival shooter Justice Midyett, from Kentucky, with 23 out of 25 shots (92 percent). After four separate shoot-outs, (four shots at a time), Samantha eventually took the title of national champion by making 19 of 20 shots. Her overall score was 42 of 45. Because of this accomplishment, her name will be inscribed into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. She succeeds her older sister, Danielle Griebel, as the reigning Pennsylvania state and regional champion. Last year, as the 2015 Elks
Hoop Shoot Regional Champion, Danielle also advanced to the National Hoop Shoot. This year, Danielle placed second at the state competition. Samantha was the 2015 Knights of Columbus Pennsylvania State Hoop Shoot champion. Her older sister, Katelyn, was runner up in her age bracket. As a third-grader, Samantha plays on her local Punxsutawney fourthgrade traveling basketball team coached by her father, Dr. Stephen Griebel. She also plays on the Indiana County fourth-grade AAU Sanso’s team with her sister, Danielle. She is a student at SS. Cosmas and Damian School in Punxsutawney.
Clinton claims historic victory in primary Continued from Page 1 arms wide and beaming broadly. Clinton had already secured the delegates needed for the nomination, according to an Associated Press tally. She added to her totals with victories in California, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota, four of the six states voting Tuesday. Rival Bernie Sanders picked up wins in Montana and North Dakota, where a small number of delegates were up for grabs. Clinton faces a two-front challenge in the coming days. She must appeal to the enthusiastic Sanders supporters who vowed to stay in the race despite having no realistic path to the nomination — and sharpen her contrasts with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump. She sought to make progress on both, using her own loss in 2008 to connect with Sanders’ backers. “It never feels good to put our heart into a cause or a candidate you believe in and come up short,” she said. “I know that feeling well. But as we look ahead to the battle that awaits, let’s remember all that unites us.” Sanders, speaking at a rally in Santa Monica, Calif.,
said he’d spoken to Clinton late Tuesday. He notably stripped his speech of all criticism of her, but still pledged to compete in next week’s final primary in the District of Columbia and take his fight for “social, economic, racial and environmental justice” to the Democratic convention. “Our fight is to transform this country and to understand that we are in this together, to understand that all of what we believe is what the majority of the American people believe and to understand that the struggle continues,” he declared. Clinton is eager to avoid a convention fight and to set her sights fully on Trump. She was biting and sarcastic as she took on the billionaire businessman, accusing him of wanting to win “by stoking fear and rubbing salt in wounds — and reminding us daily just how great he is.” Clinton’s new wins came a day after she secured the 2,383 delegates she needed to become the presumptive Democratic nominee, according to an Associated Press tally. Her total includes pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses, as well as superdelegates — the party officials
and officeholders who can back a candidate of their choosing. President Barack Obama called both Clinton and Sanders late Tuesday. The White House said Obama congratulated Clinton for “securing the delegates necessary to clinch the Democratic nomination for president” and praised her “historic campaign,” though he did not formally endorse her. The White House said Obama and Sanders will meet at the White House on Thursday, at the Vermont senator’s request. Republicans had appeared unified after Trump vanquished his last opponents about a month ago. But the real estate mogul has continued to make controversial statements, frustrating party leaders. The latest cause for GOP concern was his insistence that a judge handling a legal case involving the businessman was being unfair in his rulings. Trump has said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel can’t be impartial because the jurist’s parents were born in Mexico and Trump wants to build a wall along the border. Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, who is locked in a close re-
election fight, became the first lawmaker to pull his endorsement of Trump. House Speaker Paul Ryan said the businessman’s assertion was the “textbook definition of a racist comment” but he would continue to support Trump. Trump released a statement saying he does “not feel one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial.” But he still questioned whether he was receiving fair treatment in the case involving the now-defunct Trump University. Sanders’ achievements have been remarkable for a candidate who was unknown to most Americans before the campaign. He has drawn massive crowds to rallies around the country and built a fundraising juggernaut based largely on small donations online. The Vermont senator has been particularly popular with young voters, an important piece of the Democratic coalition. Still, Clinton’s victory has been broadly decisive. She leads Sanders by more than 3 million cast votes. She has 2,469 delegates to Sanders’ 1,637. That count includes both pledged delegates and superdelegates.
Trump turns to object of his ridicule: a teleprompter By JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press
BRIARCLIFF MANOR, N.Y. — Donald Trump routinely mocks his rivals for using teleprompters, but the presumptive Republican presidential nominee relied on the much-maligned political crutch Tuesday night for his closely watched speech at the end of the Republican primary calendar. A pair of teleprompters flanked the podium at the Trump National Golf Club in suburban New York City, and
the celebrity businessman appeared to be reading from them as he delivered a speech that featured far less of his trademark bluster. It wasn’t the first time Trump has read from the devices — he used them, for instance, when speaking to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in March — but his reliance on them Tuesday prompted the word “teleprompter” to trend on Twitter and flew in the face of his usual criticism of them. “I don’t use teleprompters,” he said in January, criticizing Hillary Clinton
for using one. “Wouldn’t that be easy, teleprompters? I watched Hillary the other day and she has the biggest teleprompters I’ve ever seen.” Months earlier, he even proclaimed that “if you run for president, you shouldn’t be allowed to use teleprompters. Because you don’t even know if the guy’s smart.” Trump doesn’t use the devices at this hallmark rallies but sometimes delivers an amusing impersonation of their use, pretending to move his head back and forth to read from devices on either side of the stage.
Ex-Clinton staffer files immunity agreements By ERIC TUCKER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The former aide to Hillary Clinton who set up her private email server confirmed in a court filing Tuesday that the Justice Department had granted him limited immunity from prosecution, but filed copies of the deal under seal and asked a judge to keep them out of public view. The filing from Bryan Pagliano came in response to a judge’s directive to disclose details of the immunity agreement, which Pagliano said he entered into after cooperating in
December with the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation into Clinton’s server. Though Pagliano has spoken with the Justice Department, he has invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination in refusing to answer questions from Congress and reiterated Tuesday that he would not give testimony in an ongoing lawsuit brought by conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch. “The DOJ has not authorized a grant of immunity for Mr. Pagliano in connection with any other matter, including this civil case,” Pagliano’s attorneys wrote
in a court filing. Pagliano received limited “use” and “derivative use” immunity from the Justice Department, his lawyers wrote. That type of immunity generally protects witnesses from having statements they make to investigators being used against them in any criminal case — with the exception of lies or false statements — while still enabling the government to prosecute using evidence it obtains independent of that testimony. Pagliano’s lawyer, Mark MacDougall, did not return a phone message seeking comment. Judicial Watch has sought the testimony of
Pagliano and several other current and former State Department aides about the 2009 creation of the private email system used by Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. The organization is challenging whether the State Department conducted an adequate search of public records in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed in 2013 that sought records related to former Deputy Secretary of State Huma Abedin’s outside work as a paid consultant for a charitable foundation run by Clinton’s husband.
help modernize the system, but overall we view this as the first step to fully privatizing our liquor system in Pennsylvania.” Rep. Gene DiGirolamo of Bucks County, one of just three Republicans to vote against the bill Tuesday, said alcohol abuse represented a major problem. “We are going from 620 state stores that sell alcohol across the state of Pennsylvania to potentially 15,000 to 20,000 outlets that will now be allowed to sell alcohol,” he said. “Is this what we need for our state of Pennsylvania? I don’t think so.” Supporters have said supermarkets and big-box retail stores would likely purchase takeout licenses from current holders or the state. The proposal also would give stateowned stores more latitude about setting hours and which products they stock. Another provision would let casinos serve alcohol around-the-clock instead of just for 19 hours in a day under current law. Wineries would be allowed to send products directly to Pennsylvania customers.
Council to advertise adjusted tax rate Continued from Page 1 “We’re not raising taxes. We’re not lowering taxes,” borough manager William Sutton said, adding that the revenue-neutral revision of the millage rate will match the budget council adopted in December. Once council formally approves the change, the new rate will be forwarded to the county’s tax assessment office and 2016 tax bills for municipalities and school districts are expected to be sent out to property owners about July 1. Council also approved a resolution supporting the “Pennsylvania Fairness Act,” pending legislation that promotes legal protections against discrimination for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. “We need to be on record that we are a welcoming community,” council vice president Gerald Smith said in support of the resolution. Other council members described the resolution as symbolic, noting the state and federal prohibitions against discrimination already in place. Borough solicitor Neva Stotler said she had no objection to council passing the resolution. “It’s innocuous,” she said. Council approved the appointment of Suphavadi “Poom” SunhachawiTaylor to the borough’s planning commission.
She will fill a vacancy created by the appointment of former planning commission member William Budris to council in May. And councilman Donald Lancaster, chairman of the Public Safety Committee, summarized Police Chief William Sutton’s statistical report on police activities during the IUPatty’s weekend. The data in the report was collected from 3 p.m. March 17 through 3 p.m. March 20. During that period there were 256 calls for police service, a 190 percent increase over the daily average calls for service for 2015. During the IUPatty’s celebration, Indiana police officers filed 138 criminal charges through 92 summary citations and 15 criminal complaints. There were 26 custodial arrests of which six people were incarcerated at the Indiana County Jail. The Indiana police department incurred $4,071.93 in overtime costs during the period. One officer was injured and is expected to be off duty for an extended period. Also according to Sutton’s report, other costs incurred by the borough during the IUPatty’s weekend were $452.18 by the borough’s street department and $1,984 by the borough’s code enforcement department.
Man sues over pacemaker PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man is suing because he claims a security guard’s metal detector caused his pacemaker to fail as he entered Pittsburgh Municipal Court.

Kelly says he was entering the building in Janu-

The suit says the guard let Kelly avoid the device, but that she still caused his pacemaker to fail when she waved a handheld wand too close to his chest. He fell and lost consciousness briefly. The city and county aren’t commenting.

Back on Track Bucs’ pitchers shine in twinbill sweep By JOHN PERROTTO Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Juan Nicasio was pretty much a one-pitch pitcher, and the fastball was all he needed against the slumping New York Mets’ offense. Nicasio retired his first 12 batters and got his second win in six starts, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Mets 3-1 on Tuesday night to complete a doubleheader sweep. The Pirates also won the first game 3-1 behind seven scoreless innings from Jon Niese against his former team. Josh Harrison had three hits and Jordy Mercer hit his first home run at PNC Park since Aug. 31, 2014 in the first victory. Nicasio (5-4) allowed a run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He had gone 1-2 with a 6.23 ERA in his previous five starts, and manager Clint Hurdle acknowledged last week that he was considering moving the right-hander to the bullpen. “The rhythm was good the entire evening,” Hurdle said. “For a guy that
threw 89 pitches, 75 or more were fastballs. He didn’t throw very many sliders or very many changeups. He just threw the fastball. He had some swing-andmiss stuff. It was a strong outing.” Jacob deGrom (3-2) is winless in his last seven starts after he allowed three runs in six innings with nine strikeouts and no walks in the second game. He has not won since April 30 against San Francisco despite allowing three earned runs or fewer six times. The Pirates had lost five of six prior to the twinbill sweep — the doubleheader was necessitated because of a rainout on Monday night. The Mets have lost seven of their last 10 games and scored just 24 runs in that span. They are missing third baseman David Wright, first baseman Lucas Duda and catcher Travis d’Arnaud because of injuries. “One thing we have not really been doing is applying some of the stuff we’re working on,” Mets manager Terry Collins said.

PITTSBURGH — There is no magic button, even if the correlation between Mike Sullivan’s deft attempts to a get player’s attention and that player almost immediately elevating his game is unmistakable. The Pittsburgh Penguins coach insists he’s just doing his job, one that has brought the underachieving team to within three periods of a Stanley Cup that seems as inevitable now as it seemed unlikely when he took over in mid-December. The Penguins headed home Tuesday with a firm 3-1 lead over the San Jose Sharks in the tightly contested but ultimately one-sided best-ofseven series after Evgeni Malkin picked up a goal and an assist in a 3-1 victory on Monday night. Malkin’s performance came barely 36 hours after Sullivan praised the star center for his hard work while adding the team needed even more from him if the Penguins wanted to close out the franchise’s fourth title. And just like that, it happened. There was Malkin getting the secondary assist on Ian Cole’s opening goal. There was Malkin redirecting Phil Kessel’s pass from the circle into the net for a 2-0 advantage. There was Malkin skating with purpose, breaking up passes on one end of the ice and looking for his shot at the other. His first goal of the Cup final came when he darted for the far post on the power play and found himself all alone when Kessel threaded it to him. “It’s not like great goal, but it’s just go to net, you
know, and stay close to net and try play around net,” Malkin said. “When I have puck, I’m try shoot. It’s simple game tonight for me.” A vintage one, too. Ditto Sullivan, whose knack for drawing the best out of his players during Pittsburgh’s thrillingly arduous playoff run is becoming so frequent it’s tempting to ask him for lottery numbers. He noticed rookie Conor Sheary looking fatigued during the Eastern Conference finals against Tampa Bay and sat him for Game 5. Sheary, rested and still confident after a brief talk with Sullivan, returned to his pest-like self and has scored twice during the Cup final, including the overtime winner in Game 2. Sullivan pulled struggling defenseman Olli Maatta in the second round against Washington yet stressed to the 21year-old Maatta he would eventually get another chance, one that arrived when Trevor Daley went down with an ankle injury. All Maatta has done since his return is become the best Pittsburgh defenseman not named Kris Letang. A sluggish night by rookie goaltender Matt Murray in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals led to Sullivan’s most risky decision. He awarded the Game 5 start to veteran Marc-Andre Fleury, a move he made after taking 10 minutes to explain the reasoning behind it to Murray. It made all the difference. When Fleury slipped late in an overtime loss, Sullivan went right back to Murray. The 22-year-old is 5-1 since returning to the lineup. Continued on Page 17
Pirates call up top prospect Taillon By The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Top Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Jameson Taillon is scheduled to make his major league debut tonight, getting called up from Triple-A Indianapolis to start against the New York Mets. The 24-year-old right-hander was the second overall pick in the 2010 amateur draft, behind Bryce Harper and ahead of Manny Machado. In 10 starts with Indianapolis this season, Taillon has gone 4-2 with a 2.04 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 61 2-3 innings. He missed the last two seasons while recovering from Tommy John
JAMESON TAILLON surgery and a sports hernia. The Pirates needed a spot starter following Tuesday’s doubleheader with the Mets, but manager Clint Hur-
dle said he was unsure if Taillon would stay with the team beyond Wednesday. “Some of it is in his control and some of it isn’t,” Hurdle said. “We’ll see what happens.” Meanwhile, the Pirates decided to start right-hander Juan Nicasio in the second game of the doubleheader against the Mets’ Jacob deGrom. Lefty Francisco Liriano was supposed to start but instead will have his turn in the rotation pushed back. Liriano will pitch Saturday night against the St. Louis Cardinals. He is 1-4 with a 7.43 ERA in his last five starts and 4-5 with a 5.25 ERA in 11 starts.

NBA Finals Game 3 • 9 p.m. today • TV: ABC • Warriors lead Cavaliers 2-0
Irving not feeling pressure to step up in Game 3 By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer
MARCIO JOSE SANCHEZ/Associated Press
CAVALIERS POINT GUARD Kyrie Irving scored just 10 points in Sunday’s Game 2 loss at Golden State.
CLEVELAND — One day before his first NBA Finals game at home, Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving spent time after practice trying out some oneon-one moves against assistant coach James Posey. That’s not what Cleveland needed him to work on. With the Cavs already in a 2-0 hole they can’t allow to get deeper, Irving must play like an All-Star, if not a superstar, for Cleveland to win Game 3 tonight over the Golden State Warriors, attempting to cap a historic season with a second straight title. Irving has waited a year, actually a lifetime, for this moment. After breaking his kneecap in Game 1 of last year’s finals and enduring months of grueling rehab, the 24year-old, often criticized for being too selfish on the court, has a chance at personal redemption and to help
the Cavs, who could be missing concussed forward Kevin Love in Game 3. The pressure’s on. Irving, though, isn’t feeling any. “Just be myself,” he said when asked how he needs to improve in Game 3. “Go out there and be aggressive.” Irving was in attack mode in the opener, scoring 26 points and making 11 free throws as he was able to get to the rim almost at will. It wasn’t nearly as easy in Game 2 — for Irving or the Cavs — as he was held to 10 points on 5 of 14 shooting and the Warriors rolled to a 110-77 win. But in addition to clanking shots, Irving also fell back into a bad habit of hanging onto the ball too long, dribbling and failing to get his teammates involved. He had just one assist in 33 minutes and there were several possessions when Irving seemed to forget there were four other guys
in Cleveland jerseys on the floor. Coach Tyronn Lue, who is feeling some heat for the first time since taking over for David Blatt in January, said he has spoken to Irving about attacking the basket earlier and not letting the 24-second shot clock tick down to single digits, sending the Cavs into a panic to avoid a violation. The Cavs are at their best when Irving — and the ball — are moving. “He’s one of the players that we have on our team that can go oneon-one, because they’re switching one through five,” Lue said, referring to the Warriors’ defensive plan when guarding pick-and-rolls. “But he has to make sharp, quick moves. He understands that, but we need Kyrie to be aggressive. He’s a scorer. He’s a special player. He has the best handle in the NBA, so he’s able to play iso (isolation) basketball. But he’s got to make quick decisions, and he understands that.” Continued on Page 17

The Indiana Gazette QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers
Some positive signs of life?
SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves How do you like Monday afternoon NASCAR? GODSPEAK: Hey, if the ratings go up, we may see more Monday afternoon races. KEN’S CALL: It seems to assault the senses. Doesn’t feel right. What’s next, Casual Thursday at the office? Shouldn’t they just leave the haulers in Pocono? GODSPEAK: If anything, the crew chiefs and drivers can keep their tabs open at the local tavern. KEN’S CALL: They’re back in less than seven weeks, so at least leave their umbrellas. Do you still think Tony Stewart will win a race? GODSPEAK: If the circumstances fall his way, like all the really fast cars crash into each other. KEN’S CALL: Hold it, buster, I never said he would.
3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM AXALTA 400 AT POCONO 1. Chase closing Chase Elliott keeps edging closer to a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chase berth. The 20-year-old rookie finished fourth at Pocono after leading a race-high 51 laps around the 2.5-mile triangle. “We have a group of guys willing to fight and stand together,” Elliott said.
2. Mileage king
Isn’t Junior’s contract done after 2017?
Kurt Busch established himself as the 2016 Sprint Cup Series mileage king when he eased to victory at Pocono Raceway. He not only had fuel to finish the race, but did a cool-down lap and a long burnout in front of the main grandstand. “We put it all together,” Busch said of the win.
Yes, as a matter of fact. And yes, he’ll be 43 after next season, which currently seems to be the age when NASCAR stars start eyeballing the exit. But keep quiet about it — such talk sends NASCAR’s Boys in Marketing to the ledge. But you can bet a TV gig will be there if he wants it.

Team Toyota has dominated the Cup Series season to date, but got a smack-down by Chevrolet and Ford at Pocono. The top six drivers from Monday’s race were from the “oldschool” NASCAR brands. The top Toyota was the No. 20 Camry of Matt Kenseth, who finished seventh.

3 THINGS TO WATCH
teams are allowed to tinker with chassis settings during testing. Junior called it a “little window” to gathering setup information.
1. Junior retirement?
3. New package
Jeff Gordon walked away from his NASCAR ride at the age of 44. Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be 42 by the end of the season, and that dreaded “R” word has started to creep into the conversation. “I would hate to walk away from such a good opportunity prematurely, but when it comes down to it, Rick (Hendrick) is the boss, and his future and direction of the team is important to me,” Junior told fronstretch.com.
NASCAR competition continues to play with the aerodynamic package of the Cup Series cars. The series will use a new set of rules at Michigan this weekend. It was the same aero package used in the All-Star Race at Charlotte. The goal: less downforce. “I thought it was certainly a key to making the cars have more falloff and open up more passing opportunities,” driver Brad Keselowski said. “Big positive."
2. Testing, testing Goodyear has a tire-testing going on throughout the season. Between the Coke 600

DARK HORSE: Ryan Blaney DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: The pattern of different car manufacturer winners continues with Logano’s Ford.
Newman
KYLE BUSCH VS. RYAN NEWMAN: With 50 laps to go at Pocono, Newman’s No. 31 Chevy nudged Busch’s No. 18 Toyota into the wall. Busch drove to the garage yelling into his two-way radio. GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Don’t rattle the cage of the beast. Busch got mad enough to push another competitor slap into the wall during a Truck Series race at Texas. Watch out, “Flyin’ Ryan.”

Junior, Fox? What? Most likely, it’s just a matter of Junior trying something different that might be fun. Whatever the reasoning behind it, there will likely be more viewers than usual Saturday when Junior joins the Fox guys in the broadcast booth for the Xfinity race at Michigan. It’ll be interesting to see how Junior likes the booth and how the booth likes him. He’s an underrated thinker and talker, but that doesn’t always translate to the fast-moving world of live broadcasting. He'll be best during cautions.
3. Toyota snapped ONLINE EXTRAS
There were a few at Pocono. Most of the focus is on Kurt Busch breaking into the 2016 win column, but Joey Logano, Kasey Kahne and Carl Edwards also got welcomed quality finishes Monday. As did future Fox broadcaster Dale Earnhardt Jr., of course. His runner-up was his first top-10 since mid-April.

U.S. men bounce back, beat Costa Rica CHICAGO (AP) — Clint Dempsey had a goal and two assists, and the United States’ men’s soccer team rebounded from its opening loss in Copa America with a convincing 4-0 victory over Costa Rica on Tuesday night. Jermaine Jones, Bobby Wood and Graham Zusi also scored as the U.S. moved into prime position to grab one of two spots in the knockout round coming out of Group A in South America’s championship. The Americans take on Paraguay in Philadelphia on Saturday night. It was quite a response to days of questions after the U.S. allowed a goal off a corner kick and committed a costly hand ball in a 2-0 loss to Colombia on Friday night. Costa Rica, which played a scoreless tie against Paraguay in its Copa opener on Saturday in Florida, looked sluggish for long stretches of the first half and was unable to recover.

MOSCOW (AP) — The “B� samples of two Russian women’s weightlifting medalists from the 2008 Beijing Olympics have come back positive for steroids, Russian state news agency Tass reported. Marina Shainova, who won silver in the 58-kilogram class, and Nadezhda Evstyukhina, bronze medalist in the 75-kg division, were among 10 Russian medalists from Beijing who reportedly tested positive last month in IOC reanalysis of their stored samples. Once a “B� sample confirms the original positive finding, the International Olympic Committee can open a formal doping case. The two could be stripped of their medals.
NFL looking into hacked Twitter account NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL has “engaged law enforcement� to see how its Twitter account was hacked with a post purporting that Commissioner Roger Goodell had died. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said: “We have engaged law enforcement to look into the matter. We are reviewing and strengthening our cyber-security measures.� Around midday, a post went up on the league’s official account that read: “We regret to inform our fans that our commissioner, Roger Goodell, has passed away. He was 57,� followed by a hashtag and “RIP.� That tweet was soon deleted, as were follow-up tweets that said: “Oi, I said Roger Goodell has died. Don’t delete that tweet,� and, as other Twitter users surmised it was a hack, “OK, OK, you amateur detective win. Good job.�
Former NBA player dies at age 46 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former NBA center and Philadelphia 76ers assistant coach Sean Rooks has died. He was 46. The team released a statement from Deborah Brown, the mother of Rooks: “It is with deep sadness and overwhelming grief that we mourn the sudden loss of my son, Sean. Our family asks that our privacy be respected as we grieve during this incredibly difficult time.� Rooks played 12 seasons after being selected in the second round of the NBA draft by Dallas in 1992. He averaged 6.2 points in 749 games with seven teams. Rooks spent the past two years working as an assistant on Brett Brown’s staff in Philadelphia.
Sun Belt to add football championship The Sun Belt will implement a football championship game in 2018, a person with direct knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. ESPN was first to report the Sun Belt’s decision. With the Big 12 announcing last week it will bring its championship game back in 2017, the Sun Belt becomes the last of the 10 FBS conferences to play a football title game. In 2018, the Sun Belt is set to be a 10-team conference. Football-only members Idaho and New Mexico State are departing the conference after 2017 and Coastal Carolina is moving up from FCS to join the Sun Belt in 2018.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP
Bucs’ pitchers shine in twinbill
THE YANKEES’ Brett Gardner slid past Angels catcher Carlos Perez to score on an Alex Rodriguez single in the seventh inning of Tuesday’s game in New York.
FRANK FRANKLIN II/Associated Press
O’s rout Royals after scuffle By The Associated Press Kansas City right-hander Yordano Ventura hit Manny Machado with a pitch to spark a bench-emptying fray, and the Baltimore Orioles extended the Royals’ losing streak to a seasonhigh six games with a 9-1 rout Tuesday night. Mark Trumbo homered and drove in four runs, and the Orioles also got long balls from Ryan Flaherty, Chris Davis and Adam Jones. But the game’s most striking moment came in the fifth, when Ventura (4-4) drilled Machado in the back with a 99 mph fastball. In the second inning, with Baltimore leading 5-0, the two exchanged words after Ventura twice threw inside to the two-time All-Star. So in the fifth, an instant after the ball hit him, Machado charged the mound. Ventura prepared for the onslaught by slinging aside his cap and glove, but Machado landed a solid punch before the pitcher tackled him to the ground. Both dugouts and bullpens emptied before peace was restored. Machado and Ventura were ejected. TIGERS 3, BLUE JAYS 2: Ian Kinsler drove in the winning run with a 10th-inning single, and Detroit won its fifth straight with a victory over Toronto. The Tigers tied it with two runs in the ninth, spoiling an outstanding effort by Blue Jays starter Aaron Sanchez. The right-hander struck out a career-high 12 and took a one-hitter into the ninth inning, but he didn’t get another out as Detroit rallied. Kinsler’s RBI double in the ninth chased Sanchez, and Miguel Cabrera’s oneout double off Roberto Osuna tied it. The Tigers loaded the bases in the 10th with no outs against Joe Biagini (32), and Kinsler won it with a chopper into left field. RANGERS 4, ASTROS 3: Ian Desmond hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the eighth inning and Texas extended its dominance of Houston with its seasonhigh fifth straight win overall. The Rangers are 8-0 this year against their AL West and instate rivals and have won 12 straight in Arlington against the Astros. AL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel (3-8) now has as many losses as
he had all last season while winning 20 games. Lefty reliever Jake Diekman (1-1) had a scoreless eighth after seven solid innings from Cole Hamels. Sam Dyson pitched out of a ninth-inning jam, eventually striking out the side for his eighth save. MARINERS 7, INDIANS 1: Nelson Cruz homered twice and Wade Miley pitched seven scoreless innings to pace Seattle over Cleveland, snapping the Indians’ sixgame winning streak. Cruz hit a two-run homer in the first inning off starter Cody Anderson (1-4) and added a solo shot in the fifth, his 15th, to put Seattle up 7-0. Miley (6-2), who had allowed 18 runs in 14 2-3 innings in his last three starts, allowed four hits, striking out three and walking two. YANKEES 6, ANGELS 3: Carlos Beltran and Starlin Castro homered for the second consecutive game, sending a resurgent Michael Pineda and New York past Los Angeles. Pineda (3-6) threw 22 of 27 first-pitch strikes and tossed seven efficient innings in his longest start since July 4 last year at Tampa Bay. He gave up three runs and four hits, building on a solid performance last week in Detroit after struggling for much of the season. NATIONAL LEAGUE DODGERS 4, ROCKIES 3: Trayce Thompson hit a game-ending homer in the ninth inning to give Los Angeles a win over Colorado in the home debut for teenage prospect Julio Urias. The 19-year-old Urias struck out seven over four innings. The Mexican lefthander allowed three hits and one run and was removed after 86 pitches with his workload being strictly monitored in just his third career start. Kenley Jansen (2-1) got the win after pitching a scoreless ninth. Thompson hit a two-out blast in the ninth off Carlos Estevez (1-3) to give the Dodgers the win. REDS 7, CARDINALS 6: Joey Votto homered with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, powering Cincinnati over St. Louis after it blew a five-run lead for the second straight day. Votto connected off lefthander Kevin Siegrist (4-1) for his fifth career gameending homer and Cincin-
nati’s third homer of the game. Left-hander John Lamb shut down the Cardinals with his 65 mph curveball, allowing only one earned run in a career-high 7 1-3 innings. Blake Wood gave up Jhonny Peralta’s bases-loaded double in the eighth, cutting it to 6-4. Matt Carpenter tied it with a one-out, two-run double in the ninth off Tony Cingrani (12), the Reds’ 12th blown save in 19 chances this season. PHILLIES 3, CUBS 2: Jerad Eickhoff threw seven impressive innings, Ryan Howard hit a solo homer and Philadelphia beat Chicago. Eickhoff (3-8) allowed one run and two hits, striking out eight. Jeanmar Gomez pitched out of a basesloaded jam in the eighth and got the final six outs for his 19th save in 20 tries. Kyle Hendricks (4-5) gave up two runs and four hits, striking out six in five innings. PADRES 4, BRAVES 3: Derek Norris tied the game with a home run leading off the ninth and Wil Myers singled in the winning run to give San Diego a victory against Atlanta. Norris hit the second pitch from Arodys Vizcaino (1-1) over the fence in leftcenter, his seventh. Matt Thornton (1-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the win. INTERLEAGUE RED SOX 5, GIANTS 3: Xander Bogaerts hit a goahead, two-run single in the top of the 10th, and Boston snapped San Francisco’s five-game home winning streak. The Red Sox loaded the bases against Santiago Casilla (1-1), who struck out two in a perfect ninth before running into trouble. Bogaerts also had a thirdinning RBI single in Boston’s first visit to San Francisco in nearly three years. Dustin Pedroia extended his majors-best hitting streak to 14 games with an eighth-inning single, while David Ortiz’s streak ended at 13 after his tying groundout as a pinch-hitter in the seventh. BREWERS 5, ATHLETICS 4: Zach Davies took a no-hitter into the seventh before allowing a two-out home run to Oakland’s Billy Butler, and Milwaukee with-
stood a shaky ninth inning to hold on for a win. Davies (4-3) allowed two hits and three walks over seven innings while striking out five. Butler turned on an 0-1 fastball from Davies to end the shutout. Davies outdueled Oakland rookie Sean Manaea (2-4), who turned in seven solid innings but allowed two home runs to Chris Carter. NATIONALS 10, WHITE SOX 5: Bryce Harper drove in three runs, Anthony Rendon homered and Washington handed Chicago its 19th loss in 25 games. Rendon hit a two-run homer off Mat Latos (6-2). Michael Taylor added a two-run double and reliever Blake Treinen (4-1) pitched two-hit ball over three scoreless innings after a shaky start by Joe Ross. TWINS 6, MARLINS 4: Brian Dozier’s two-out, two-run home run in the 11th inning gave Minnesota a 6-4 victory over Miami, the third game-ending homer in Dozier’s career and just the second win for the Twins in their last eight games. Dustin McGowan (0-2) walked Joe Mauer and gave up the drive to Dozier to take the loss for the Marlins.
Matz (7-2) allowed two runs and eight hits in five innings while losing for the first time since his season debut April 11 against the Miami Marlins. He struck out eight and walked two while losing on the road for the first time in nine career starts. “He didn’t command his fastball and you’ve got to command your fastball to make it work,� Collins said. “He was up in the zone, up in the zone. He couldn’t get the fastball down.� Walker, a Pittsburgh native, was a combined 2-for8 in his first time facing the Pirates. He was their firstround draft pick in 2004, made his major league debut in 2009 and spent the last six seasons as the starting second baseman. “It was long day, 18 innings, and emotional,� Walker said. NOTES: Pirates LF Starling Marte was removed in the seventh because of a bruised left ankle then sat out the second game. ... C Francisco Cervelli (bruised right foot) was back in the lineup after missing three straight games and David Freese (bruised right hand) started at first base after sitting out four in a row.

Continued from Page 13 “We’re striking out too much. We need to make better contact.� John Jaso, Jordy Mercer, Sean Rodriguez and Stewart had two hits each in the nightcap for the Pirates. Mark Melancon pitched a perfect ninth, duplicating his first-game performance, for his 19th save in 20 opportunities. In the opener, Niese (6-2) gave up four hits, walked two and struck out two.

I got along with all of them. I definitely miss them, but I’m enjoying my time here, too. I had a good game plan going on.

U.S. OPEN
Thompson open to playing in Rio
Woods not yet ready to play
By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer
By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer
For the third time in the past six years, the U.S. Open will go on without three-time champion Tiger Woods. Woods said on his website Tuesday that he is not ready for tournament competition and will skip the U.S. Open next week at Oakmont, along with his Quicken Loans National the following week at Congressional. “While I continue to work hard on getting healthy, I am not physically ready to play in this year’s U.S. TIGER Open and the QuickWOODS en Loans National,” he said. “I am making progress, but I’m not yet ready for tournament competition.” Woods first missed the U.S. Open in 2011 when he was recovering from leg injuries. He missed in 2014 at Pinehurst No. 2 while recovering from his first back surgery a week before the Masters that year. He has not played since a tie for 10th in the Wyndham Championship in August. Woods had two more surgeries on his back after that, in September and October. Meanwhile, his absence fueled speculation about when he might return, even though Woods repeatedly has said he does not know. Woods played five holes when he opened his golf course in Houston, and also was seen swinging a club at a junior clinic in South Carolina and at his media day at Congressional — three swings from 100 yards to the 10th green, all of them in the water. Jack Nicklaus said last week at the Memorial he expects Woods to return. “I think Tiger would have liked to have played this week,” Nicklaus said. “He’s just not ready.” Since Woods was exempt from having to qualify because he won the 2008 U.S. Open, his spot will be filled by an alternate from the 12 sectional qualifying sites, though it was not clear which one. The USGA compiles an alternate list that is based on how many spots each qualifying site was allocated and the strength of each field in determining the list. When qualifying ended on Tuesday, and with Woods saying he will not play, 149 of the 156-man field for Oakmont was set. The USGA set aside six spots for any players who crack the top 60 in the world ranking after this week. One of them will be William McGirt, who now is No. 44 in the world after winning the Memorial. If fewer than five more players get into the top 60, the extra spots also go to the main alternate list. But if a player who qualified has to withdraw, his spot is taken by the alternate from his qualifying site. Meanwhile, speculation on when or if Woods returns this year will resume after two weeks. The Greenbrier Classic, which he has played twice in the last four years when not dealing with injuries, is July 7-10. That’s one week before the British Open at Royal Troon. The PGA Championship is two weeks after Troon, followed by the Travelers Championship, the John Deere Classic and the Wyndham Champion. Woods has never played the Travelers Championship and has not played at John Deere since he was a 20-year-old rookie. After that, he would not be eligible for any PGA Tour event for the next six weeks during the FedEx Cup and Ryder Cup.

THE PENGUINS’ Matt Cullen, top, collided with the Sharks’ Logan Couture during the first period of Game 4 on Monday in San Jose.
Sharks face tall task trailing 3-1 in series By JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The task facing the San Jose Sharks is daunting: No team in nearly three quarters of a century has rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win the Stanley Cup Final. Before the Sharks can start figuring out how to accomplish that ultimate goal, they will need to take much smaller steps, starting with just getting a lead at any point in a game. Through four games, the Sharks have yet to play with the lead. They allowed the first goal all four times and got their only win in Game 3 in an overtime game they never led until Joonas Donskoi’s gamewinner. “We’ve got to find a way to stick one of those in early and put them in the spot where they’re chasing the game a little bit, which we haven’t done yet,” coach Peter DeBoer said Tuesday. Doing that would be a good start to what would be an improbable comeback, if the Sharks could pull it off. Of the 32 teams that have fallen behind 3-1 in the Stanley Cup Final since it became a bestof-seven series in 1939, 31 have ultimately lost the series. The only winner in that span came in 1942, when Toronto actually rallied from 3-0 down to beat Detroit. DeBoer has been in a tough spot in the final before. In 2012 with New Jersey, his team lost the first three games to Los Angeles before rallying for two wins and ultimately losing in six games. “Everyone was writing us off,” he said. “We took the approach of, ‘Why not us?’ I don’t care what the record book says, that only one or two teams have come back from this situation, whatever those numbers are. Why can’t we be the first team to do it? It starts with one game. I think that’s the approach we’re going to take.” The formula that got San Jose to its first Cup final has been missing. The Sharks jumped on teams early for most of the first three rounds and then wore them down with their forechecking and cycle game. The power play was potent, provid-
ing timely goals throughout, and the Sharks managed to knock off Los Angeles, Nashville and St. Louis on the way to the final. But little has worked against the Penguins, who have used their decided edge in speed to control play for most of the four games, often keeping the Sharks hemmed in their own zone. Pittsburgh has shut down San Jose’s top guns. Joe Pavelski, who leads the NHL with 13 playoff goals, has no points through four games. Brent Burns had two assists in Game 1 and hasn’t recorded a point since. Logan Couture, who leads the NHL with 26 points this postseason, has just two against the Penguins. “I thought every game we’ve created a little bit more chances to score,” DeBoer said. “I think our big guys have gotten more shots off and more looks as the series has gone on. We’re doing some good stuff. But you can’t change the fact that we’ve played behind the entire series. That’s something that we have to get fixed.” San Jose has trailed for 121:44 of the series, about 25 minutes less than they trailed over 18 games in the first three rounds when the Sharks scored first in 13 games and forced the opponent to chase the entire game. The Penguins haven’t played from behind in what seems like ages. They have gone 435:46 of game time without playing with a deficit since losing Game 4 to Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference final. Pittsburgh’s only two losses since came in overtime games where they didn’t trail until the final goal. “We’re doing our best to score first and get a lead. It hasn’t happened yet,” Couture said. “I don’t know how it would change their game. I imagine they would keep playing the same way. When we have the lead, we play good defense and keep it simple.” NOTES: Sharks F Tomas Hertl remains day to day with a lower-body injury. ... DeBoer said he did not plan to shake up his lines for a spark to start Game 5 on Thursday.
Sullivan has had magic touch with Penguins Continued from Page 13 “Every player goes through their ups and downs, times when they’re at the top of their game, and times where it can be a bit of a challenge,” Sullivan said. “I think that’s just human nature. Our players are no different. It never changes our opinions of these guys or how we feel about them. It’s our responsibility as their coaching staff to try to help them through the process.” A responsibility that Sullivan takes seriously. The hyper-competitive forward who spent 11 seasons grinding out a career developed an appreciation for coaches who didn’t mince words. He places a premium on transparency. There is very little guessing about what’s on his mind, mostly because he doesn’t hesitate to say what needs to be said and if you don’t like the tone, well, that’s on you, though Sullivan makes it a point to never make it personal. “When he needs to he can call you out and tell you that he wants more from you,” Murray said. And no one is immune, regardless of status. When Malkin failed to register anything on the scoresheet through the first three games of the Cup final, Sullivan decided it was time to speak up. “He’s been a big part of this playoff success,” Sulli-
van said. “But certainly I know that there’s another level that he has to help us win.” The comments came only after Sullivan spoke to Malkin, the new father — his daughter Nikita was born last Tuesday — well aware of his own inability to transfer his power and creativity into points. Given an opportunity to lift Pittsburgh to the cusp of a title, Malkin looked like the force of nature who bulled his way to the Conn Smythe Trophy the last time the Penguins won it all in 2009. “When he turns it on, obviously what he can do for us is huge for our
team,” Cole said. Then again, in Sullivan’s mind that makes Malkin no different than any of the other 20 guys in blackand-gold. He tries to work phrases like “play the right way” and “our group” in to nearly every answer. His team’s rise over the last six months is a collective effort, not a star-driven one. “I’ve told these guys from day one that we believe in this group,” Sullivan said. “We believe in our players, and we know when the stakes are high, they’re going to be at their best.” No magic button required.

CLEVELAND — Not even Zika worries will deter Klay Thompson from playing in the Olympics if asked. The Golden State guard, while he and other potential Olympians in these NBA Finals acknowledged having some concerns about the Zika virus, made clear Tuesday he would accept any invitation that comes his way to represent USA Basketball at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “It would be an honor to play for Team USA,” Thompson said. “I’d love to go to Brazil.” His insistence that he wants to play came one day after his Warriors teammate Stephen Curry announced he won’t, citing needs to rest and heal as his primary reasons. The Cleveland-Golden State finals matchup is loaded with Olympic prospects. Curry won’t be going, but as many as seven other players in the series may still represent the U.S. this summer — and there’s likely international Olympians like Australian teammates Andrew Bogut and Matthew Dellavedova, plus Nigeria’s Festus Ezeli. Warriors forward Draymond Green was downright emphatic about his hope to be there. “Hell, yeah,” Green said when asked if he wants to play, dragging his words out for theatrics. Golden State’s Harrison Barnes also said he wants to go, and 2012 gold medalist Andre Iguodala also hopes to play — but indicated he isn’t sure to make the cut. “I’m on the list,” Iguodala said, “but I think I’m the No. 14 pick.”
There are 12 slots on the U.S. roster. Cleveland star and threetime Olympian LeBron James hasn’t decided about playing in Rio yet. What many are thinking about, however, is Zika and its risks. Zika is a mosquito-borne virus and although there have been outbreaks across other countries, Brazil has been hit hard. Zika is known to cause severe birth defects, part of the reason NBC “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie — who is pregnant — said Tuesday she will not accompany the network’s team to Brazil for the Olympics. Curry said Zika fears didn’t factor into his decision. He wants to use the time off this summer to prepare for next season, the rigors of two years capped by NBA Finals appearances taking a toll. “As his coach, I’m pleased,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “He needs rest. ... He weighed all the dynamics and realized that a summer of rest would be the best thing for him longterm. And I think that’s the wise choice.” But Thompson said he thinks a couple weeks off between the finals and Olympic preparations will be enough for him. “The best thing about Team USA, no one’s logging heavy minutes,” Thompson said. Thompson acknowledged Zika worries him somewhat — “mosquitoes love me,” he quipped — but not enough to deter him from wanting to play. “It’s no joking matter,” Thompson said. “It’s a little concerning. But at the same time, you’ve just got to take the precautionary steps to avoid it.”
Cavs’ Irving not feeling pressured Continued from Page 13 Irving made major strides in his second season while playing with LeBron James, but there are still moments when the two stars are in different galaxies. The Cavs must get Irving and James back in sync quickly or the Warriors will be spraying champagne in Cleveland once again. As for Lue, a torrid run through the postseason has slowed to a crawl. Cleveland opened the playoffs with 10 straight wins before needing six games to oust Toronto and win its second consecutive Eastern Conference title. That was expected, though, and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and general manager David Griffin are demanding more, which is why Blatt was fired in January despite a 30-11 record and trip to the finals as a first-year coach in 2015. Lue’s under the gun to deliver a championship or there could be more changes. The 38-year-old Lue didn’t sign a contract
when he agreed to take over for Blatt, a decision that either shows his confidence, respect for Blatt or a desire to look elsewhere once the season ends. Whatever the case, Lue, like his starting point guard, needs to get going or he could be embarrassed in the finals again. On June 6, 2001, Lue was playing for the Los Angeles Lakers when he was on the wrong end of a nasty move by Philadelphia guard Allen Iverson in Game 1 of the finals. Despite solid defense by Lue, Iverson shook him with his patented, anklebreaking crossover dribble, drained a jumper and then stepped over him as Lue sat on the floor. Lue recovered as did the Lakers, who went on to win the title. He and the Cavs need to get back on their feet in Game 3. “I have to do a better job,” he said. “Our players have to do a better job. We have to play better, and they understand that and we will.”

Exhibit features photography of David Young â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Passion for Lightâ&#x20AC;? celebrates decades of photographer David Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and accomplishments. The exhibition opens with a public reception Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. Hosted by the University Museum, the exhibit will be shown and reception will be held in Kipp Gallery, located in Sprowls Hall on the corner of 11th and Grant streets. Admission is free and the exhibit runs through June 30. Young, a retired IUP Communications Media Department professor of photography, recalls that at some point during the time he was earning his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and doctoral degrees in English and serving in the Army during the Korean War, he gave a camera to his wife, Beverly, for her birthday. However, it was he who became an avid photographer and, in the 1960s, began exhibiting. His first prize for his work was a Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Award at the museum in Columbus, Ohio. Young began his career at IUP in 1968 as an instructor in the English department. After 10 years, he
was invited to join the communications department to teach photography, a position he held until his retirement in 1989. A student once asked Young what qualified him to teach photography, being a man with all his degrees in English. Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reply was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My teacher was experience; I made all the mistakes.â&#x20AC;? Inspired and mentored by Ansel Adams after a visit to Adamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yosemite studio, Young shares Adamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disciplined and meticulous style, carefully crafting each exposure rather than shooting multiple rolls of film. Co-curator Ron Juliette, also a photographer and retired IUP professor, describes Young as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a photographer in the truest sense of the word. He possesses a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge of its history, physics, optics, chemistry and aesthetics, as well as its context in the larger world of the arts and literature. Each of these influences comes together in his photographs. You see the vision of other great artists in how he masters light and composition, in the subtle details in highlight and shadow, and in the
simplicity of form and texture. His early devotion to Adams and the zone system of photography defined his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work as dedicated, disciplined and inspirational.â&#x20AC;? Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photographs, having drawn praise in local and regional exhibitions, can be found in museums and private collections throughout the area, including the University Museum at IUP and the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in Loretto. A selection of photographs arecurated by Beverly Young, Juliette and William Double. Gallery hours are Monday and Tuesday from noon to 5 p.m. and Thursday from 2 to 7 p.m. This exhibition is supported, in part, by the Indiana Art Association, the College of Fine Arts at IUP and the Student Cooperative Association at IUP. The University Museum also receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts administered through the Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance.

Once a sure thing, sequels slumping at box office By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sure things in Hollywood are beginning to look like an endangered species. Sequels, for years the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most â&#x20AC;&#x153;canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missâ&#x20AC;? assets, are struggling at the box office this year. The downturn, which continued over the weekend with the low turnout for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows,â&#x20AC;? calls into question one of the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedrocks of bankability. Roughly two decades ago, the sequel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; once largely seen as a blatant and disrespected cash grab â&#x20AC;&#x201D; threw off its stigma. Comic-book serials and long-running franchises stretched the sequel business into a new realm of round-the-clock production and box-office records. That era is nowhere close to ending; the most popular franchises have plans in place to last the next three presidential elections. But the recent sequel slump suggests that Hollywood may have become too quick on the sequel trigger â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that maybe not every profitable movie deserves a second chapter, that the world might not have been craving another â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ninja Turtlesâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zoolander.â&#x20AC;? No studio executive today could get away with not ordering up a sequel to a $1 billion-grossing movie like 2010â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alice in Wonderland.â&#x20AC;? Yet the drop was staggering for the badly reviewed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alice Through the Looking Glass,â&#x20AC;? which has made just $51.4 million domestically in three weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to argue with $1 billion and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I think keeps studiosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; finger on the greenlight: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Press that button. Press it, press it. We just made $1 billion. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And at some point, that just runs into the ground. Even audiences can take only so much Vin Diesel.â&#x20AC;? Dieselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fast and Furiousâ&#x20AC;? franchise is one of the more astounding success stories in recent box office history. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh installment topped $1.5 billion worldwide; naturally, there are plans for eight, nine and 10. In such an environment, the fast-paced greenlighting of sequels isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just good business, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like minting money. Of the top 10 films of 2016 thus far, nine are sequels, spin-offs or reboots. And while sequels may have recently dipped, originality is cratering. Last weekend, the romance â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me Before Youâ&#x20AC;? performed well with $18.7 million, but the well-received Andy Samberg comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Popstar: Never Stop Never Stoppingâ&#x20AC;? flopped with just $4.7 million. Still, â&#x20AC;&#x153;sequel underperformsâ&#x20AC;? has become the steady drumbeat of 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceâ&#x20AC;? has made $872.2 million globally, but the $250 million film has struggled to turn a profit for Warner Bros. and been

coming more essential to sequels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wake-up call,â&#x20AC;? says Dergarabedian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says to the industry just because something did well, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exploit it. You have to enhance it. It has to be additive if you want to make a great sequel.â&#x20AC;? The most glaring exception to the trend has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;Captain America: Civil War,â&#x20AC;? the highestgrossing film of the year at
THE SEQUEL â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadowsâ&#x20AC;? opened at $35.5 million, according to comScore, close to half of what the first film opened to in 2014. roundly lambasted by critics and moviegoers alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;X-Men: Apocalypse,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ride Along 2â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Huntsman: Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warâ&#x20AC;? have all done worse than their preceding films. Bock calls the recent sequel swoon a trend that should â&#x20AC;&#x153;cause panicâ&#x20AC;? within the Hollywood studio system. It is, after all, a system currently built on the sequel business; a sequel problem for Hollywood would be like if cars went out of favor for Detroit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Conjuring 2â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now You See Me 2â&#x20AC;? will brave any sequel-itis this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding Dory,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Independence Day: Resurgence,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ghostbusters,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Trek Beyondâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jason Bourneâ&#x20AC;? are all on tap this summer. Pixarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding Doryâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a sequel to 2003â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding Nemoâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is widely expected to be among the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest hits, and perhaps benefits from the 13-year break since the original. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is something to be said for absence makes the heart grow fonder,â&#x20AC;? says Bock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Studios need to realize that in the long term, you can kill a franchise really quickly, like the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spidermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; one, by throwing out films that are not near and dear to the hearts of audiences.â&#x20AC;? If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a silver lining in
the underperforming sequels, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that few of them have been in franchises as blue-chip as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spider-Man,â&#x20AC;? which floundered in a tooquick reboot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not altogether shocking that another â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,â&#x20AC;? a Tim Burton-less â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aliceâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zoolander 2â&#x20AC;? werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enticing to moviegoers; some of them are just plain bad.
Critical reaction has never been a key component of the sequel business; mediocre reviews did nothing to slow â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jurassic Worldâ&#x20AC;? from becoming one of the highest-grossing films of all time last year. But Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, believes that with social media speeding up reaction, quality is be-

Woman with secret fantasies hesitates to share DEAR ABBY
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded |by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
DEAR ABBY: I am in a happy relationship with a wonderful man. Our life is great together and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it any other way. I have one issue, however. I like to look at lesbian porn maybe a few times a week. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually want to be with another woman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a fantasy of mine. Is this wrong? Should I tell my boyfriend? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making too much out of this, or if there are other women out there who are in the same situation. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; CURIOUS IN TEXAS DEAR CURIOUS: Books have been written about the many varied sexual fantasies women have.
Yours is not unusual, and you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel guilty about it. Nothing compels you to share your fantasy with your boyfriend unless you feel a need to. (But if you do, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shocked if he finds it a turn-on, because many men also fantasize about women having sex together.) DEAR ABBY: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m four monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pregnant by my exboyfriend. We ended our relationship six months ago but continued to see each other for sex. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Army and has been diagnosed with depression and PTSD. At first he was my knight in shining armor, but after I moved into his house, he be-
come mentally and physically abusive. He is now in a new relationship. He changed his phone number and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t checked on me or our baby in weeks. I want him to have a relationship with his child, but every time I look at him I see a liar, a manipulator and an abuser who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about either of us. How do I get over my feelings and convince him to be in our childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life? Or are my feelings justified and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just being a protective mother? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; PROTECTIVE MOTHER DEAR PROTECTIVE MOTHER: What a sad letter. It would be interesting to know how much of his abusive be-
havior was a result of his depression and PTSD. But if you think that a mentally and physically abusive man, who has changed his phone number and done his best to get out of touch with you, is a suitable father figure for a child, you are kidding yourself. You will, however, have a chance to make him live up to his financial responsibilities to the baby if you discuss this with an individual who is in a position to help you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an attorney. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait; start the conversations now. DEAR ABBY: When I visited my sister 15 years ago, my brother-in-law tried to rape me.
He was drunk and my sister was out with her friends. I have not revealed this to my family or my sister, who is emotionally and financially dependent on him. My niece is now 20 years old and in college. I feel I should tell her what her dad did to me and warn her to be careful. What do you think? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NEVER FORGETTING IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR NEVER FORGETTING: Frankly, I think that if your brother-in-law was going to assault his daughter, it would have happened already, and you should have told your family what he tried to do to you at the time it occurred.
TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press Today is Wednesday, June 8, the 160th day of 2016. There are 206 days left in the year. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highlights in History: On June 8, 1966, the strongest of a series of tornadoes struck the Topeka, Kan., area, killing 17 people. A merger was announced between the National and American Football Leagues, to take effect in 1970. On this date: In A.D. 632, the prophet Muhammad died in Medina. In 1845, Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, died in Nashville, Tenn. In 1864, Abraham Lincoln was nominated for another term as president during the National Union (Republican) Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convention in Baltimore. In 1912, the ballet â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daphnis et Chloeâ&#x20AC;? was premiered by the Ballets Russes in Paris. In 1915, U.S. Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan resigned over what he viewed as President Woodrow Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overly bellicose attitude toward Germany following the sinking of the RMS Lusitania. In 1948, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Texaco Star Theaterâ&#x20AC;? made its debut on NBC-TV with Milton Berle guest-hosting the first program. (Berle was later named the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent host.) In 1953, the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled unanimously that restaurants in the District of Columbia could not refuse to serve blacks. Eight tornadoes struck Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lower Peninsula, killing 126 people. In 1967, 34 U.S. servicemen were killed when Israel attacked the USS Liberty, a Navy intelligence-gathering ship in the Mediterranean. (Israel later said the Liberty had been mistaken for an Egyptian vessel.) In 1972, during the Vietnam War, an Associated Press photographer captured the haunting image of 9-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc as she ran naked and severely burned from the scene of a South Vietnamese napalm attack. In 1978, a jury in Clark County, Nev., ruled the socalled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mormon will,â&#x20AC;? purportedly written by the late billionaire Howard Hughes, was a forgery. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan became the first American chief executive to address a joint session of the British Parliament. In 1996, China set off an underground nuclear test blast. Ten years ago: The Food and Drug Administration approved Gardasil, a vaccine against HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer. Sheikha Haya Al Khalifa, a lawyer from Bahrain, was elected U.N. General Assembly president, the first woman from the Middle East to take the post.
Five years ago: Rep. Allyson Schwartz of Pennsylvania became the first Democratic House colleague to call for Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York to resign after he admitted sending a lewd photo of himself to a woman via Twitter and lying about it. OPEC unexpectedly left its production levels unchanged, causing oil prices to jump as senior officials reported their meeting in Vienna had ended in disarray. Meredith Vieira ended her five-year run as co-anchor of NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;? show, telling viewers her decision to go was â&#x20AC;&#x153;right, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard.â&#x20AC;? One year ago: Acknowledging setbacks, President Barack Obama said at the close of a G-7 summit in Germany that the United States still lacked a â&#x20AC;&#x153;complete strategyâ&#x20AC;? for training Iraqi forces to fight the Islamic State. Siding with the White House in a foreign-policy power struggle with Congress, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Americans born in the disputed city of Jerusalem could not list Israel as their birthplace on passports. The NCAA approved multiple rule changes to menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball for the 2015-16 season, including a 30-second shot clock and fewer timeouts for each team.

IT IS TEMPTING TO PLAY WITH TOYS Sam Levenson, a humorist and media man who died in 1980, said, “The simplest toy, one that even the youngest child can operate, is called a grandparent.” That is so true. But it is fun playing with grandchildren, especially since you can always give them back to their parents. Bridge players have toys — their bidding conventions. The biggest problem is that lessexperienced players love to employ them at every opportunity, even when a hand does not qualify. After North rebid one no-trump to show 12-14 points, South used New Minor Forcing,

which in theory promised at least game-invitational strength. He should have rebid a nonforcing two hearts, which North would have corrected to two spades. When South used NMF, North unnecessarily jumped to four spades. She should have settled for two spades, but if she liked her hand that much, she could have rebid three spades. This would have given South a chance to suggest a slam if he had a sufficiently strong hand. Also, note that NMF does not guarantee a five-card spade suit. South might have four spades and a big fit with opener’s firstbid suit, so he could be thinking about game or slam in that suit. The defenders played accurately against four spades. West found the best lead of the heart nine. East won with her queen, and South cleverly dropped his 10. This persuaded East to shift to a trump, but West, after winning with the king, led his second heart. Even though South smoothly played his jack under the ace, East gave her partner a heart ruff, and the club king later resulted in down two. COPYRIGHT: 2016, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

ASTROGRAPH ❂✵✪ ❂ Your Birthday THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2016 by Eugenia Last Look ahead and make changes that will improve your life. Lower your overhead in order to ease stress. Cutting out excessive expenditures or getting help to overcome bad habits is a good place to begin. Try to curb your generosity somewhat. GEMINI (May 21June 20) — If something doesn’t seem right, you need to ask questions. Don’t be a follower, or you will end up being used. Home and personal improvements will boost your confidence and energy. CANCER (June 21July 22) — Don’t let the unexpected changes going on around you cause stress and worry. Go about your business and follow your chosen path. Trust in your imagination and don’t fear being unique. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Think twice before you share your opinion. Not everyone will agree, putting you in a compromising position. Put more effort into selfpreservation, practicing good health and maintaining a superior appearance. Put love first. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22) — Refuse to let anyone force you to make a premature decision. Use your intelligence to turn any situation you face to your favor. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23) — Don’t hold back. If you believe in something, speak up and share your thoughts. Your passion and deliberate actions will help bring about compelling change. Romance looks promising.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’ll be intrigued by an offer. Before you put your trust in someone, make sure the ideas presented are sound. Traveling and making new acquaintances will do you good. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — An opportunity to make money or expand a project will need your undivided attention. Pull in people from your past to help you turn your dream into reality. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) — Say little and do a lot. Being observant and objective will help you alleviate trouble. Upgrades to your home, relationships or physical appearance will lift your spirits. PISCES (Feb. 20March 20) — Take a short trip and interact with people you can learn from. Don’t let anyone treat you poorly. Speak up and take action. It’s up to you to initiate personal change. ARIES (March 21April 19) — A trip will help you more clearly see a situation you face. A partnership can be adjusted to improve communication and cooperation. Romance will improve your day. TAURUS (April 20May 20)— You cannot buy love or use emotional manipulation to get your way. Youngsters will try your patience and arguments will not solve matters. Learn from past mistakes. COPYRIGHT 2016 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
