Britain votes to leave EU By DANICA KIRKA and JILL LAWLESS Associated Press
LONDON — Britain voted to leave the European Union after a bitterly divisive referendum campaign, toppling the prime minister today, sending global markets plunging and shattering the stability of a project in conti-
nental unity designed half a century ago to prevent World War III. The decision launches a yearslong process to renegotiate trade, business and political links between the United Kingdom and what would become a 27-nation bloc, an unprecedented divorce that could take decades to complete.
“The dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom,” said Nigel Farage, leader of the U.K. Independence Party. “Let June 23 go down in our history as our independence day!” Prime Minister David Cameron, who had led the campaign to keep Britain in the EU, said he would resign by October and left it to his
successor to decide when to invoke Article 50, which triggers a departure from European Union. “I will do everything I can as prime minister to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months,” he said, “but I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers the country to its next destination.”
Polls ahead of the vote had shown a close race, and the momentum had increasingly appeared to be on the “remain” side over the last week. But in an election Thursday marked by notably high turnout — 72 percent of the more than 46 million registered voters — “leave” won with 52 percent of the votes. Continued on Page 4

Legislative session called to address heroin epidemic By RANDY WELLS

In a rare gathering of bipartisan legislators Thursday in the Capitol Rotunda, Gov. Tom Wolf and state representatives announced that a special session of the General Assembly will be called to address the opioid epidemic in Pennsylvania. Opioid abuse is an issue that “doesn’t affect just rich people or poor people,” Wolf said. “This is a Pennsylvania problem.” House Majority Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana, said the special session will ALEX DRIEHAUS/PennLive.com

Under the Pennsylvania Constitution, the governor can convene the General Assembly “on extraordinary occasions” by proclamation.

HOMER-CENTER SCHOOL DISTRICT
Board approves increase in taxes By CHAUNCEY ROSS
chauncey@indianagazette.net
CENTER TOWNSHIP — The Homer-Center School District board of directors has approved a 2016-17 budget on a divided vote that followed extensive debate over whether to raise the real estate tax or to cut spending to make ends meet. The spending plan calls for a 1 percent increase in the property tax — enough to sustain increases in pension fund contributions and other operating costs while enabling the district to replace a retired high school science teacher and permanently replace a departed social studies teacher. District officials said the tax increase would average about $15 a household. The directors voted 5 to 4 to adopt the budget, with President Vicki Smith, Dan Fabin, Fred Hayes, James McLoughlin and Julie Rado in favor, and Board Vice President Jerry Bertig, Michael Bertig, Logan Dellafiora and Justin Smyers opposed. Because of the countywide property reassessment project, the Homer-Center tax rate of 128.9 mills last year was converted to 16.3456 mills. With the increase, the 2016-17 tax rate will be 16.5091 mills. Under the Act 1 school tax law, the district could have raised the tax as much as 2.7 percent, to 16.7869 Continued on Page 10

HARRISBURG — Legislation signed by Gov. Tom Wolf on Thursday killed tougher regulations over Pennsylvania’s traditional shallow oil and gas drilling industry that were approved in April by an independent regulatory board. The bill Wolf signed was part of an agreement with lawmakers to settle a drawn-out fight over the regulations written by Wolf’s Department of Environmental Protection. Lawmakers have said the fight over the regulations also played a role in Wolf’s dismissal last month of his first environmental protection secretary, John Quigley. The agreement ends an effort by lawmakers to overturn the entire slate of regulations, which also apply to the Marcellus shale natural gas industry. Wolf said his administration will start

work to redraft new regulations for the traditional, shallow drilling industry. The industry involves smaller exploration companies drilling far less expensive and productive wells that do not require nearly as much water or create nearly as much waste. The Wolf administration said the new regulations are required by a 2012 law designed to modernize the state’s oil and gas drilling rules. The administration said the public and environment also need to be protected. There are more than 120,000 active wells in the state recording more than 2,000 violations in some years, officials said. “DEP has a responsibility to ensure that these operations are being conducted safely and with best contemporary practices,” the Wolf administration said in a statement. The regulations require drillers to identify schools
or playgrounds near wells and, if water supplies are damaged, drillers will have to fix them or replace them with alternatives that meet federal standards. Drillers also must stop storing waste in pits or using brine to keep down dust or to de-ice. Before April, drilling regulations for the industry were last updated in 2011 to address casing, cementing and well plugging requirements. Kevin Moody, general counsel for the Pennsylvania Independent Oil and Gas Association, which represents members of the state’s traditional oil and gas drilling industry, said he did not believe the industry needs new regulations. But he and the organization’s president, Louis D’Amico, said they hope the administration will draft the regulations with input from the Pennsylvania Grade Crude Advisory Committee being created by the new law.

Shoplifting State police have charged four people in connection with a scheme to steal merchandise and return the goods for credit on gift cards at Walmart in SouthTowne Plaza. Troopers at Indiana reported Pamela Bowser, of Ford City, Armstrong County, stole $179 worth of merchandise at 1 p.m. May 25, and that Raymond Langham, of Starford, was apprehended by store security workers when he tried to exchange the items for gift cards. John Langham, of Starford, and Lacey Carney, of Ford City, also apparently were a part of the plot but police gave no details of their involvement. In criminal complaints filed Monday at Homer City District Court, police charged Raymond Langham, 37; John Langham, 45; and Carney, 28, with first-degree misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to retail theft. Bowser, 51, was charged with a seconddegree misdemeanor count of retail theft. Raymond Langham was charged with additional counts of theft and receiving stolen property.

City schools adopt new gender plan PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Public Schools have enacted a nondiscrimination policy that outlines the rights, protections and support systems schools must provide for transgender students. The city’s school board unanimously approved the district policy on Wednesday, and officials called it the right thing to do for some of their “most vulnerable” children. “We’re moving forward on the right side of law and history,” said board member Moira Kaleida, who urged the district to consider the guidelines last fall after principals and legal experts told her of the need for them. She said the district received about 400 emails in favor of the policy and 20 against it. The guidelines allow students to use bathrooms and participate in physical education classes and intramural sports that align with their gender identity. It also lets students be addressed by their preferred name and gender pronoun. Under the policy, students may request accommodations, including a private office restroom, curtain partition or a separate changing space if they feel uncomfortable.

Britain votes to leave EU Continued from Page 1 The result shocked investors, and stock markets plummeted around the world, with key indexes dropping 10 percent in Germany and about 8 percent in Japan and Britain. The U.S. stock market was down nearly 500 points at the start of trading today. The euro fell against the dollar and the pound dropped to its lowest level since 1985, plunging more than 10 percent from about $1.50 to $1.35 before a slight recovery, on concerns that severing ties with the single market will hurt the U.K. economy and undermine London’s position as a global financial center. Bank of England Gov. Mark Carney sought to reassure the markets. “We are well prepared for this,” Carney said. “The Treasury and the Bank of England have engaged in extensive contingency planning. ... We have taken all the necessary steps to prepare for today’s events.” Also seeking to calm frayed nerves was the most prominent “leave” campaigner, Boris Johnson. Taking a somber tone unusual for the flamboyant former London mayor, he described the EU as a noble idea which was no longer right for Britain. He said the result in no way means the United Kingdom will be “less united” or “less European.” Even as he spoke, however, Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said a second Scottish referendum on independence from the United Kingdom is now “highly likely.” Scotland voted in 2014 to remain a part of the U.K. but that decision was seen by many as being conditional on the U.K. remaining in the EU. Britain would be the first major country to leave the EU, which was born from the ashes of World War II as European leaders sought to build links and avert future hostility. With no precedent, the impact on the single market of 500 million people — the world’s largest economy — is unclear. Leaders from across the EU voiced regret at the British decision. Germany called top diplomats from the EU’s six founding nations to a meeting Saturday, and the president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said the bloc will meet without Britain at a summit next week to assess its future. Tusk vowed not to let
the vote derail the European project. “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger,” he said. But already, far-right leaders in France and the Netherlands were calling for a similar anti-EU vote. The referendum showed Britain to be a sharply divided nation: Strong pro-EU votes in the economic and cultural powerhouse of London and semi-autonomous Scotland were countered by sweeping anti-Establishment sentiment for an exit across the rest of England, from southern seaside towns to rustbelt former industrial powerhouses in the north. “It’s a vindication of 1,000 years of British democracy,” commuter Jonathan Campbell James declared at the train station in Richmond, southwest London. “From Magna Carta all the way through to now we’ve had a slow evolution of democracy, and this vote has vindicated the maturity and depth of the democracy in our country.” Others expressed anger and frustration. Olivia Sangster-Bullers, 24, called the result “absolutely disgusting.” “Good luck to all of us, I say, especially those trying to build a future with our children,” she said. Cameron called the referendum largely to silence voices to his right, then staked his reputation on keeping Britain in the EU. Johnson, who is from the same party, was the most prominent supporter of the “leave” campaign and now becomes a leading contender to replace Cameron. The vote also dealt a blow to the main opposition Labour Party, which threw its weight behind the “remain” campaign. “A lot of people’s grievances are coming out and we have got to start listening to them,” said deputy Labour Party leader John McDonnell. Indeed, the vote constituted a rebellion against the political, economic and social Establishment. All manner of groups — CEOs, scientists, soldiers — had written open letters warning of the consequences of an exit. Farage called the result “a victory for ordinary people against the big banks, big business and big politics.” Donald Trump praised the decision during a visit to one of his golf courses in Scotland, saying Britons “took back their country. It’s

a great thing.” He likened the vote to the U.S. sentiment that has propelled him to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, saying people in the United States and the United Kingdom are angry about similar things. “People are angry all over the world,” he said. After winning a majority in Parliament in the last election, Cameron negotiated a package of reforms that he said would protect Britain’s sovereignty and prevent EU migrants from moving to the U.K. to claim generous public benefits. Critics charged that those reforms were hollow, leaving Britain at the mercy of bureaucrats in Brussels and doing nothing to stem the tide of European immigrants who have come to the U.K. since the EU expanded eastward in 2004. The “leave” campaign accuses the immigrants of taxing Britain’s housing market, public services and employment rolls. Those concerns were magnified by the refugee crisis of the past year that saw more than 1 million people from the Middle East and Africa flood into the EU as the continent’s leaders struggled to come up with a unified response. Mindful of the intense rhetoric, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, reached out to the 1 million Europeans in the capital and underscored that they are “very welcome here.” “We all have a responsibility to now seek to heal the divisions that have emerged throughout this campaign — and to focus on what unites us, rather than that which divides us,” he said. Cameron’s efforts to find a slogan to counter the “leave” campaign’s emotive “take back control” settled on “Brits don’t quit.” But the appeal to a Churchillian bulldog spirit and stoicism proved too little, too late. The slaying of pro-Europe lawmaker Jo Cox a week before the vote brought a shocked pause to both campaigns and appeared to
shift momentum away from the “leave” camp. While it isn’t clear whether her killer was influenced by the EU debate, her death aroused fears that the referendum had stirred demons it would be difficult to subdue. The result triggers a new series of negotiations that is expected to last two years or more as Britain and the EU search for a way to separate economies that have become intertwined since the U.K. joined the bloc on Jan. 1, 1973. Until those talks are completed, Britain will remain a member of the EU. Exiting the EU involves taking the unprecedented step of invoking Article 50 of the EU’s governing treaty. While Greenland left an earlier, more limited version of the bloc in 1985, no country has ever invoked Article 50, so there is no roadmap for how the process will work. Authorities ranging from the International Monetary Fund to the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of England have warned that a British exit will reverberate through a world economy that is only slowly recovering from the global economic crisis. The European Union is the world’s biggest economy and the U.K.’s most important trading partner, accounting for 45 percent of exports and 53 percent of imports. In addition, the complex nature of Britain’s integration with the EU means that breaking up will be hard to do. The negotiations will go far beyond tariffs, including issues such as cross-border security, foreign policy cooperation and a common fisheries policy. It will also affect the ability of professionals such as investment managers, accountants and lawyers to work in the EU, threatening London’s position as one of the world’s pre-eminent financial centers. The U.K. hosts more headquarters of non-EU firms than Germany, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands put together. “We believe this outcome has serious implications for the City and many of our clients’ businesses with exposure to the U.K. and the EU,” said Malcolm Sweeting, senior partner of law firm Clifford Chance. “We are working alongside our clients to help them as they anticipate, plan for and manage the challenges the coming political and trade negotiations will bring.”
Two energy bills signed into law Two bills addressing state and federal energy regulations — including legislation introduced by Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, to protect family-sustaining Pennsylvania jobs placed at risk by the federal Clean Power Plan — were signed into law Thursday by Gov. Tom Wolf. Senate Bill 1195, White’s bill addressing Pennsylvania’s compliance with the federal Clean Power Plan was signed into law as Act 57 of 2016 and Senate Bill 279, which removes conventional oil and gas drillers from the Department of Environmental Protection’s proposed
changes to state regulations on drilling operations in the state was signed into law as Act 52 of 2016. White’s bill provides procedures for the General Assembly’s consideration of the implementation strategy developed by the DEP for the federal Clean Power Plan before its submission to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. “This has been a long and tough road, but I am pleased that the governor and the Legislature were able to find common ground on this measure,” White said in a press release. “This new law will safeguard Pennsylvania’s
energy-producing industries and the thousands of workers they employ and protect them from overreaching regulations that could come with Pennsylvania’s compliance with the federal Clean Power Plan.” The bill received strong bipartisan support in the General Assembly, passing the Senate on a 38-11 vote and the House on a vote of 147-41. Senate Bill 1195 had support in the state, including that of energy producers and several organized labor groups. White said he was pleased that his bill and Senate Bill 279, introduced by Sen.
Scott Hutchinson, R-Venango, were signed by the governor on the same day. The General Assembly mandated in Act 126 of 2014 that any new rules for Marcellus shale gas extraction operations imposed by the DEP must be developed separate from the conventional drilling industry. Senate Bill 279 reinforces that provision by stating that DEP must declare its newly enacted regulations for conventional operations void. DEP may now decide to embark upon another regulatory process, one solely intended for conventional drilling operations.
Eunice Penrod Eunice “Euny” Penrod, 85, passed away on Tuesday, June 7, 2016, after a short but hard-fought battle with cancer. Born in 1931 in Taylorsville, she was the daughter of the late Irvin N. and Stella F. (Deabenderfer) Barr. Euny graduated from Indiana Area High School in 1949. She worked at Bell Telephone for a total of 33 years, after taking some time off along the way to stay home with her children. She started at Bell as a telephone operator and retired as a maintenance administrator in the plant department. After the Bell office closed in Indiana, Euny commuted to Greensburg daily for the last several years of her career, retiring in 1992. Euny enjoyed her family and friends, her job, shopping and giving to others. She was a faithful member of Graystone Presbyterian Church for 53 years. After Graystone made the decision to separate from the Presbyterian Church USA, she transferred her membership to Calvary Presbyterian Church. Her faith was solid. After she retired, Euny and Dee drove to Montana several times to visit her daughter and son-in-law. After Dee died, she continued to go to Montana often; she just flew instead of driving. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Marlin “Dee” Penrod, who passed away on May 27, 2003; her sister Ethel Thomas; and her nephew Richard Thomas. Euny is survived by her
daughter, Pamela (Robert) Kampfer, of Great Falls, Mont.; a son, Bradley (Karen) Penrod, of McDonald; and, somewhere out there, Deborah Penrod. She is also survived by two sisters, Arbutus Barr, of Carlisle, and Georgene (Richard) McKenzie, of Cumberland, Md.; her brother, Karl (Rita) Barr, of Burnside; as well as 10 nieces and nephews. We extend our love and appreciation to Euny’s good friends who helped her in recent years: Dora Burkett, Irene Pino, Helen Shirley and Carol Ellsmore. A memorial service will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 26, at Calvary Presbyterian Church, 695 School St., Indiana, with the Rev. Dr. Richard Cassel officiating. BowserMinich Funeral Home, Indiana, is in charge of arrangements. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the VNA Family Hospice, 850 Hospital Road, Suite 3000, Indiana, PA 15701. “Paying it forward” would really make Euny smile. She enjoyed sharing and giving to others. If you know someone in need, please help them out.

Pair arrested in cookout ambush that killed 6 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Two men ambushed a backyard cookout near Pittsburgh, killing a pregnant woman, her 8-monthold fetus and four other adults, because they wanted retribution for the 2013 slaying of a friend, authorities said. Cheron Shelton, 29, and Robert Thomas, 27, have each been charged with six counts of criminal homicide for the March 9 ambush in Wilkinsburg, Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. announced Thursday. Thomas fired 18 shots from a .40-caliber pistol into about 15 partygoers, prompting them to run toward a rear porch, Zappala said. That’s where Shelton, hiding behind a fence, peppered them from five feet away with 30 shots from a rifle similar to an AK-47, killing the victims, Zappala said. Shelton blamed Lamont Powell, one of three people wounded, for killing his
best friend three years ago, Zappala said. Nobody’s been charged in the 2013 killing, though police have called Powell a suspect. Two unnamed jailhouse witnesses, who spoke with the suspects after they were taken into custody on unrelated charges weeks after the shooting, described Shelton’s alleged bloodlust, according to criminal complaints. One of the witnesses said Thomas indicated Shelton wanted to shoot more people at the cookout victims’ funerals, but Thomas claimed to have talked him out of it. “I’m trying to treat them like the Jews; I’m trying to eliminate their whole blood lines,” Thomas told the witness, quoting Shelton’s intentions, according to police. A second witness said Shelton “told him he was ‘hitting them’ with the ‘chopper’” — street slang for an AK-47 — “and that he wanted everyone gone,” in-
ROBERT THOMAS CHERON SHELTON ... charged with six counts of criminal homicide vestigators said. Thomas also expressed remorse to the witness, authorities said. The witness quoted Thomas saying: “Yeah, it’s killing me, crushing me every day. I’m trying not to think about it. I’m trying not to become a vegetable.” Thomas’ attorney, Casey White, said he wouldn’t comment on the accusations until after he reads the
complaint and talks to his client. He and Shelton’s lawyer previously said their clients were innocent. Earlier this week, the men’s attorneys attempted to get Shelton and Thomas out of jail, claiming both were unfairly being kept in solitary confinement to “squeeze” them for information on killings they knew nothing about.
The slain victims were Brittany Powell, 27, who was renting the home and living there with her child, and her siblings: Chanetta Powell, the 25-year-old pregnant woman, and Jerry Shelton, 35. The county medical examiner ruled Chanetta Powell’s unborn son died because of her death. The others killed were the siblings’ cousin, Tina Shelton, 37, and their friend, Shada Mahone, 26. Cheron Shelton is not related to the victims and planned the shootings with Thomas after a friend called to tell them a Facebook post indicated Lamont Powell was at the cookout, police said. “Nobody else was involved in this. They planned it. They carried it out,” Zappala said of the two suspects. Police said they also have surveillance video from about 25 minutes before the shootings showing Shelton in a car after carrying a long, slender object.
State considers reinstating gas tax By MARC LEVY Associated Press
HARRISBURG — Budget makers in an eleventhhour search for cash to support a deficit-strapped budget are considering reinstating a gross receipts tax on natural gas sales in Pennsylvania, senators said Thursday. The idea is one of several that have been brought up in closed-door budget negotiations with Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, although House and Senate Republican majority leaders have yet to publicly embrace any part of Wolf’s electionyear effort to raise taxes. The state ended the tax in 2000 as part of a broader restructuring of regulations over natural gas utilities and service, but gross receipts taxes still apply to some other services, such as freight, telecommunications and electricity. Democrats say it could potentially raise a substantial sum, in excess of $500 million a year. It is on a list of options including a cigarette tax increase being discussed by negotiators to help boost aid to public
schools and close a deficit estimated at $1.8 billion by the Legislature’s Independent Fiscal Office. “What we have is a list of options that are out there and we’re trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t work,” said Philadelphia Sen. Vince Hughes, the ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee. Part of the exercise is to figure out exactly how much money each option, including a gross receipts tax, would raise and what could pass the Legislature, Hughes said. Natural gas is Pennsylvania’s most prevalent homeheating fuel, used in more than half of the state’s roughly 5 million households. It also presumably would be a growing revenue source since the number of natural gasheated households has risen from 2 million to more than 2.7 million in the last 15 years, according to statistics from the Pennsylvania Office of Consumer Advocate. Meanwhile, with six days until the state’s fiscal-year deadline, negotiators are
reporting no agreements on key budget elements, including how much to spend and how to pay for it. Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre, said Republicans are still aiming to assemble a spending plan that does not require a tax increase, including on gross receipts. “The governor threw it out as a suggestion,” Corman said. “I don’t know that we’re anywhere near there. As always, we’re trying to put a budget together that doesn’t take any new taxable revenue. That’s our goal, and that’s what we’ll continue to try to do.” Corman also pointed out that a number of ideas have been raised over the last few years to raise taxes to balance the state’s budget, and none has made it into law. Wolf’s press secretary, Jeff Sheridan, would only say that a lot of revenue sources are under discussion, but he would not identify any. The House and Senate adjourned Thursday, with no plans to return before Monday. The House Ap-
propriations Committee scheduled a Sunday night meeting in hopes of producing a first public look at budget legislation that has the governor’s support. In February, Wolf proposed a spending increase of $3.3 billion, or 10 percent, to $33.3 billion, paid for by a $2.7 billion tax package, anchored by higher taxes on income, sales, tobacco products and Marcellus shale natural gas drilling. However, Republicans have yet to back any plan to raise taxes, and discussions of a spending figure are hovering somewhere below $32 billion, lawmakers say. Ben Armstrong, a spokesman for Philadelphia-based PECO Energy Co., which has more than 500,000 natural gas customers in southeastern Pennsylvania, said the company is evaluating the potential impact the gross receipts tax would have on its customers. “We have concerns with anything that would lead to higher prices for our customers,” Armstrong said.
Lawyer says he advised PSU official By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press
HARRISBURG — Penn State’s former top lawyer said in a deposition made public Thursday he advised the university’s vice president in 2001 to notify a state agency of a complaint from an assistant football coach about Jerry Sandusky showering with a boy in a team locker room. Former university general counsel Wendell Courtney also said in the deposition three weeks ago that no one from Penn State has ever asked him for details regarding his Feb. 11, 2001, phone discussion with then-vice president Gary Schultz or the research he did that day on reporting suspected child abuse. Excerpts from the deposition were attached to a filing by lawyers for former assistant coach Mike McQueary in opposing the university’s effort to delay McQueary’s whistleblower and defamation lawsuit against Penn State. McQueary has said he saw Sandusky abusing a boy, called Victim 2 in court records, in the team facility late on a Friday
night and went to head coach Joe Paterno the next day. Paterno notified Schultz and then-athletic director Tim Curley before Schultz and Courtney conferred that Sunday. Schultz, Curley, and then-president Graham Spanier await trial on charges related to their handling of complaints about Sandusky, a retired assistant football coach, is serving a prison sentence on child sex abuse convictions. Courtney testified in the May 31 deposition that although he did not recall specifics of the phone call, “I do remember that the advice I gave was to report to DPW.” The state Department of Human Services, which was called the Department of Public Welfare at the time, maintains a ChildLine hotline to field reports of child abuse. Courtney told The New York Times in 2011 that he was never told of Sandusky engaging in sexual misconduct with young children, and if he had “any idea that there was even remotely improper conduct with children on any day since the beginning of
time, nothing in the world would have kept me from being absolutely certain that it was reported to the police immediately. That is my duty.” Neither Courtney nor Schultz lawyer Tom Farrell responded to messages seeking comment Thursday. Courtney said in the deposition that even though the meeting was noted in the universitycommissioned 2012 report on the Sandusky scandal by a team led by former FBI director Louis Freeh, no one from Penn State has ever asked him about what he told Schultz. “Perhaps the reason why (Penn State) avoided making the inquiry was because it knew the answer to the question,” McQueary’s lawyers wrote. The Freeh report said Courtney emailed Schultz in January 2011, a decade later, to say his successor as the school’s top lawyer had called to ask him what he knew “about JS issue I spoke with you and Tim about circa eight years ago. I told her what I remembered. She did not offer why she was asking, nor did I ask her.” Courtney declined to be interviewed
by the Freeh team. “Penn State engaged the Freeh firm to investigate the matter and, as set forth in Freeh’s report, Courtney declined to be interviewed by Freeh upon advice of counsel,” Penn State spokesman Lawrence Lokman said in an email Thursday. “So any implication that Penn State did not want the benefit of Courtney’s input is simply not correct.” In the days after conferring with Courtney, Schultz and Curley met to review a 1998 complaint from a woman about Sandusky showering with her child, according to the Freeh report. Curley subsequently told Sandusky not to bring children into school athletic facilities. Sandusky continued for nearly a decade to run a charity for at-risk children before being charged in 2011 and convicted the next year of 45 counts of abuse involving 10 boys, including Victim 2. McQueary was a key witness against him. Sandusky, 72, now serving a 30 to 60 year prison sentence, maintains his innocence and is appealing.

State police cleared in turnpike shooting
Chief amazed family survived explosion
HARRISBURG (AP) — A prosecutor said state police were justified in fatally shooting a retired trooper who killed two people during a botched robbery at a rural Pennsylvania Turnpike toll plaza in March. Fulton County District Attorney Travis Kendall told state police on Thursday that the unidentified trooper who killed Clarence Briggs “should be commended for his acts of extraordinary bravery in the face of extreme, lethal violence.” Kendall said Briggs fired at troopers responding to a call for help at the Fort Littleton toll plaza before the trooper killed Briggs with a single round. Kendall said the troopers put themselves at risk by advancing and rendering first aid. Briggs fatally shot turnpike employee Danny Crouse and private security guard Ronald Heist.
MEHOOPANY (AP) — State police are trying to determine what caused a house explosion that a Pennsylvania family miraculously survived. A problem with a propane tank is being investigated as a possible cause of the blast that rocked the home late Tuesday near Mehoopany, west of Scranton in Wayne County. Mehoopany Fire Chief Roger Walters said he is amazed the residents survived without life-threatening injuries. The blast blew pieces of the home 150 feet away. The adult couple who lived there with their children were trapped in the debris, but were rescued by emergency crews. A neighbor, Ron Takas, told WNEPTV that he let firefighters use a few jacks to help free a woman who was trapped under a wall.
Boy slammed by mother’s fiance dies PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities said an 8-year-old Pennsylvania boy has died after his mother’s fiance grabbed him for not cleaning his room and slammed him on the floor. Allegheny County police said Orlando Williams, of North Braddock, had been drinking before he tripped over a laundry basket in the boy’s room and angrily tried to slam him onto the edge of his bed Sunday night. Police said he missed, and the boy fell on the floor. The couple drove to a hospital Monday morning. Doctors called police due to the severity of the boy’s injuries, including a herniated brain stem. He had been on a ventilator. Authorities said he died Thursday evening.
Mine subsidence likely caused hole in yard WILKES-BARRE (AP) — State environmental officials said mine subsidence is likely to blame for a crater that opened up in a WilkesBarre yard that a women fell into. The Wilkes-Barre Citizens’ Voice reported that Rhonda Martini was in the backyard of her home Sunday when a hole between approximately 6 feet and 8 feet deep and 8 feet in diameter opened at her feet. Officials said Martini wasn’t seriously injured. A spokeswoman for the state Department of Environmental Protection said Wednesday that the crater is likely a mine subsidence. The DEP Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation has issued an emergency declaration to begin work on the hole.

They say other video from a nearby home shows the same car turning onto the street where the shooting occurred minutes later. Police said they also have information from 31 calls or text messages between Shelton and Thomas’ cellphones that night, but didn’t release details. Both men are also charged with six counts of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment for the three others wounded, and three children in the house but unharmed when bullets pierced its walls. They are also charged with criminal conspiracy. Police haven’t found either weapon, but they believe Shelton gave someone instructions to dispose of the rifle using hand signals during a recorded jailhouse visit. They said Thomas also told one witness he had ditched his gun. “I’m cool,” Thomas is quoted in court papers. “They gonna have to go deep sea diving for mines.”

Why Trump’s competitive in Pa. V oters like Chris Coughenour, a Pittsburgh-area truck driver, may represent presidential candidate Donald Trump’s biggest challenge. Those like Cherie Spena, a hair stylist, and Brian Easter, a limo driver, are his best hope. Together, they explain why, despite recent controversies, Trump remains competitive in the Rust Belt and, as a result, in the election. “I was a big Trump fan,” Coughenour said during a focus group of Pennsylvania voters Monday in Pittsburgh. “He is a good businessman and all that. But, at the same time, he doesn’t know much about being president and anything to do with government.” As a result, although the 24-year-old Republican agrees on issues with Trump, he is thinking of voting for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.
BUT COMMENTS by Spena, 48, an independent who initially called herself undecided, made clear she leans toward the presumptive Republican nominee. “I trust him,” she said. “He just makes me feel very comfortable and safe.” And Easter, 37, an independent who initially tended toward Democrat Hillary Clinton and worried Trump’s loose tongue “could cause a war,” said he is becoming more comfortable with the idea of voting for Trump. “He’s more honest,” he said.

But even those backing Trump’s call for banning Muslim immigration were skeptical it would happen. Still, neither that nor his lack of governmental experience bothered his supporters, who like the fact Trump is not a politician. “He’s unapologetic, which I think is kind of nice because it’s a change from those dirty politicians,” said Dara Held, 40, a stayat-home mother who sells jewelry and purses. “He’s not that. He’s a businessman.” Sarah MajKowski, the pro-Clinton Web designer, agreed Trump was honest but likened him to “the way a child is honest because they don’t know any better.”
ON THE other hand, many comments about Clinton echoed the finding in polls that many voters consider her dishonest. “I lost respect for her as a woman when she had an issue with her husband and never addressed it,” said Spena, the independent leaning to Trump. Megan Carpenter, 32, a homemaker and proTrump Republican, questioned “her credibility,” declaring: “Her lack of accountability really just grates on me.” Carl P.

Character no longer counts
anking right up there with the line, “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?” is this recent headline in The Washington Times: “Honesty issues aside, voters still back Hillary Clinton, poll shows.” Though Clinton’s negatives appear higher than that of any Democrat running for president in, perhaps, all of history — and Donald Trump’s are even higher — honesty appears not to matter in this election, especially to younger voters. The Washington Times story is based on a poll taken by the technology company Morning Consult, which found that Hillary Clinton’s “56 percent unfavorability rating is driven by the fact that 39 percent of Democrats and 47 percent of independents say she can’t be trusted” and that “significant percentages of those who view her unfavorably also say she’s flat-out corrupt.” Trump doesn’t fare much

Voters have become so angry and cynical about the state of our government and its leaders that they no longer expect to respect them. If that is where we are, does that not say more about us then it does about them? Email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com.

Affirmative action program upheld WASHINGTON (AP) — In a narrow victory for affirmative action, the Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a University of Texas program that takes account of race in deciding whom to admit, an important national decision that was cemented by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. The justices’ 4-3 decision in favor of the Texas program ends an eightyear-old lawsuit that included a previous trip to the Supreme Court, filed by a white Texan who was denied admission to the university. Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that the Texas plan complied with earlier court rulings that allow colleges to consider race in pursuit of diversity on campus. “The university has thus met its burden of showing that the admissions policy it used ... was narrowly tailored,” Kennedy wrote. The court’s three moreconservative justices dissented.
Obama blocked on immigration High court deadlocks 4-4 New York Times News Service WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday announced that it had deadlocked in a case challenging President Barack Obama’s immigration plan, effectively ending what Obama had hoped would become one of his central legacies. The program would have shielded as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants
from deportation and allowed them to legally work in the United States. The 4-4 tie, which left in place an appeals court ruling blocking the plan, amplified the contentious election-year debate over the nation’s immigration policy and presidential power. When the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case in January, it seemed poised to issue a major ruling on presidential power. That did not materialize, but the court’s action, which established no precedent and included no reasoning, was
nonetheless perhaps its most important statement this term. Speaking at the White House, Obama described the ruling as a disappointment for immigrants who would not be able to emerge from the threat of deportation for at least the balance of his term. “Today’s decision is frustrating to those who seek to grow our economy and bring a rationality to our immigration system,” he said. “It is heartbreaking for the millions of immigrants who have made their lives here.”
The case, United States v. Texas, No. 15-674, concerned a 2014 executive action by the president to allow as many as 5 million unauthorized immigrants who were the parents of citizens or of lawful permanent residents to apply for a program that would spare them from deportation and provide them with work permits. The program was called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents. Obama has said he took the action after years of frustration with Republi-

Colombia, FARC agree on cease-fire HAVANA (AP) — Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and the head of the country’s leftist FARC rebels agreed Thursday on a cease-fire and rebel disarmament deal that moves the country to the brink of ending a 52-year war that has left more than 220,000 people dead. At a ceremony in Havana, Santos and FARC commander Rodrigo Londono, better known as Timochenko, watched as their lead negotiators signed a deal laying out how 7,000 rebel fighters will demobilize and hand over their weapons after the signing of a final peace accord as early as next month. U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon, a special U.S. envoy and the presidents of Cuba, Chile and Venezuela and other Latin American countries applauded the signing.
Suspect shot dead in cinema incident BERLIN (AP) — A masked man was shot dead Thursday after entering a movie theater in southwestern Germany with what appeared to be a rifle and taking several hostages, authorities said. No one else was hurt. The armed man entered the Kinopolis movie theater in the town of Viernheim in the early afternoon and apparently fired a gun. The man held several people, police spokeswoman Christiane Kobus said, but she didn’t have a precise number. Officers “successively entered the cinema and were able to locate the man and the people he was holding,” Kobus told The Associated Press. “There was a threat situation and the man was then shot dead by a colleague.” Police said that the deployment lasted about three hours. There were no other injuries, Kobus said.
Lewandowski finds new career at CNN NEW YORK (AP) — CNN snapped up former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski three days after he was fired, and he began his new career as a political commentator Thursday by not answering a direct question about whether he’d agreed not to disparage his former boss. Lewandowski made his first appearance on Erin Burnett’s “Outfront” program Thursday evening. He joins a stable of political commentators on a network that is covering the presidential campaign intensely. CNN has used a handful of Trump surrogates in its coverage, most prominently Jeffrey Lord and Kaleigh McEnany.
cans in Congress who had repeatedly refused to support bipartisan Senate legislation to update immigration laws. A coalition of 26 states, led by Texas, promptly challenged the plan, accusing the president of abusing the power of his office by circumventing Congress. “Today’s decision keeps in place what we have maintained from the very start: One person, even a president, cannot unilaterally change the law,” Ken Paxton, Texas attorney general, said in a statement after the ruling.

Tornado leaves 98 dead in China By PAUL TRAYNOR and CHRISTOPHER BODEEN Associated Press
YANCHENG, China — Chinese rescuers today searched for survivors of a tornado and hailstorm that killed nearly 100 people as it churned through farms and factories on the outskirts of a major eastern city. The storm that devastated the densely populated area near Yancheng on Thursday afternoon was one of the most extreme weather events witnessed by China in recent years, leaving a swath of destruction with destroyed buildings, smashed trees and vehicles flipped on their roofs. As the death toll climbed to 98
today, doctors said most of the 800 injured had broken bones and deep lacerations, especially on the head. Medical crews had been rushed to the area, about 500 miles south of Beijing. Rescuers carried hurt villagers into ambulances and delivered food and water, while army units worked to clear roads blocked by trees, downed power lines and other debris. While the weather cleared today, forecasters were warning of the possibility of more heavy rain, hailstorms and even additional twisters. The disaster was declared a national-level emergency, and on a trip to Uzbekistan on Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping or-
dered the central government to provide all necessary assistance. Tents and other emergency supplies were being sent from Beijing, while schools and other facilities were used to shelter survivors, state broadcaster CCTV said. Cellphone and security camera footage showed the tornado’s debris-blackened funnel touching down and golf-ball size hailstones falling thick as rain. Terrified residents who sought to hold back doors that were subsequently blown in spoke of a “black wind” that tore the glass from all windows. Reports said the tornado struck at about 2:30 p.m. and hit Funing and Sheyang counties on the city’s outskirts the hardest.
Overdose deaths overwhelm medical examiner, coroner offices By DAVE COLLINS Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. — Soaring numbers of overdose deaths are adding to woes already plaguing medical examiner and coroner offices, resulting in a shortage of places to store bodies and long delays in autopsies and toxicology testing. The Connecticut medical examiner’s office has considered renting a refrigerated truck to store extra bodies because its storage area has neared capacity at times. In Wisconsin, the Milwaukee County medical examiner’s office sometimes has to put bodies on Armystyle cots in its refrigerated storage area because it runs out of gurneys. The Hamilton County coroner’s office in Cincinnati has a 100-day backlog of DNA testing for police drug investigations, largely because of increased overdose deaths. Medical examiners and coroners say overdose deaths are adding to a strain on their offices that already includes a surge of urban violence, inadequate facilities, budget problems and the shortage of forensic pathologists qualified to perform autopsies. “There are many, many parts of the country that have substantial problems,” said Dr. David Fowler, Maryland’s chief medical examiner and president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, referring to medical examiner and coroner offices. “I think the drug overdoses have substantially increased the problems.” A record 47,055 people died from drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2014,
“THERE ARE many, many parts of the country that have substantial problems. I think the drug overdoses have substantially increased the problems.” Dr. David Fowler,
Maryland’s chief medical examiner
according to the latest figures from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number was up 7 percent from 2013, spurred by large increases in heroin and opioid painkiller deaths. Reports indicate overdoses continue to increase. There are about 500 forensic pathologists in the country, but at least 1,000 are needed, according to forensic science groups. A major cause of the shortage is that many medical students are opting for higher-paying jobs in regular pathology jobs in hospitals, Fowler said. Medical examiner and coroner offices generally investigate all violent deaths in their jurisdictions, as well as suspicious and unexpected deaths that don’t occur in hospitals. The most notable changes resulting from inundated offices have been longer waits for families to learn how their loved ones died and delays in criminal investigations and court cases, medical examiners say. Some medical examiner and coroner offices, including Connecticut’s, are so overworked that they risk losing accreditation, because their pathologists are on
track to perform more than 325 autopsies a year — the limit in standards set by the National Association of Medical Examiners’ accrediting program. At the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office in Cincinnati, the four forensic pathologists are on pace to do many more autopsies than the 325 limit, and the agency faces the loss of its accreditation, said the coroner, Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco. In Los Angeles County, which has also seen a surge in fatal overdoses linked to fentanyl, Medical Examiner-Coroner Mark Fajardo announced in March that he was resigning, saying understaffing left him unable to do the job amid complaints of stacked bodies and testing backlogs. Dr. James Gill, Connecticut’s chief medical examiner, said he and his staff are looking into renting a refrigerated truck to store bodies in case they run out of space at the office. Because of all the extra work, Gill also has decided his office also will no longer perform toxicology tests for most deaths clearly caused by trauma including shootings and car crashes, leaving the expense to police departments and families if they want the tests. The White House’s National Science and Technology Council has been looking into how to improve the nation’s coroner and medical examiner system. A draft report released in April includes recommendations to increase investments in training pathologists and better report death investigation data needed to inform lawmakers and monitor public health.
DETROIT — Volkswagen will spend about $10.2 billion to settle an emissions cheating scandal in the U.S. that has turned into one of the largest cases of corporate deception in the nation’s history. Two people briefed on settlement talks said most of the money would go to compensate 482,000 owners of cars with 2-liter diesel engines that were programmed to turn on emissions controls during government lab tests and turn them off while on the road. Investigators determined that the cars emitted more than 40 times the legal limit of nitrogen oxide, which can cause respiratory problems in humans. VW diesel owners first learned of the deception in September, and most have seen the value of their cars decline. According to the two people, Volkswagen will offer to fix the cars for free, but any fix will likely hurt the cars’ acceleration and fuel economy. Alternatively, owners can sell their car back to the company. Volkswagen, which admitted to intentionally deceiving regulators, will also pay penalties to government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, California Air Resources Board and the Federal Trade Commission, one of the people said. The settlement is not final yet and terms could change as lawyers work around the clock on final details, said the people, who asked not to be identified because a judge in the case has issued a gag order. Details are scheduled to be released Tuesday by Senior U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco. The $10.2 billion would eclipse the cost of all recent automotive scandals — and the amount VW ultimately pays out could grow by billions of dollars. A lawsuit by the Justice Department is ongoing, and the company could be fined by the state of California. The company also faces as much as $20 billion in fines for violating the Clean Air Act. General Motors, by comparison, paid roughly $6.9 billion for a series of embarrassing recalls that started two years ago with defective ignition switches that caused at least 124 deaths. Owners of the VW cars, which date to the 2009 model year, can either sell their vehicles back to the company at the pre-scandal value or let the company fix the vehicle for free, one person said. In either case, owners would also get $1,000 to $7,000 depending on their cars’ age, with an average payment of about $5,000, one of the people said. The average value of a VW diesel has dropped 19 percent since just before the scandal began. In August of 2015, the average was $13,196, and this May it was $10,674, according to Kelley Blue Book. Attorneys representing owners, VW and government agencies have not yet agreed on the steps VW will take to repair the cars, the person said. Any fix likely would require a bigger catalytic converter or injection of the chemical urea into the exhaust to help neutralize the pollution. The fixes likely would hurt the cars’ performance. Spokesmen for the EPA, VW and the Justice Department would not comment Thursday. The settlement to be announced Tuesday does not include 3-liter Volkswagen diesels, which had another version of cheating software.

BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — A group in Big Rapids has found an unlikely niche: conducting quilting bees in an old jail, piecing together patriotic covers to honor veterans. “We meet once a month,” said Mary Picucci. The gathering space is one of six cells in the old Big Rapids jail, a big brick house owned by the local historical society. Old Jail Quilters group assembles quilts connected with the national Quilts of Valor Foundation, which honors veterans with “warmth and recognition” by presenting them with patriotic-themed quilts, she said. Since 2003, the national group has distributed more than 138,000 quilts. The actual activity of piecing together the quilts is popular, too. Picucci said the group has grown from just four members to 26 in a year’s time. Among the group’s members is 90-year old Mille Splitstone, who does the quilt’s bindings by hand. “We’re always hunting for veterans,” she said. On June 9, the Old Jail Quilters presented quilts to four World War II veterans at Sanctuary at the Oaks, a senior living community in Muskegon: • Norman G. Peterson, 93, served as a lieutenant junior grade in the Navy from 1944-1946. He served in the Pacific theater of the war as a communications specialist, relaying coded messages. Later in life he was a chemistry professor at Ferris State University. “Serving in the military has made me a far better man,” Peterson said. “I’m a far better American because I served in the military.” • Jack Joslyn, 96, served in the Air Force for 25 years, starting as pilot of a

He flew about 50 missions through Europe on unnamed bombers — he “just took whatever was available” — and survived the bombing raids without getting shot down. “Just lucky,” he said when asked about his survival. • George Hartman, 92, was the tail gunner on the B-17 bomber “Ain’t Misbehavin’” from 1943-1945. The plane was shot down in 1944 and he became a prisoner of war of the Germans. As a prisoner, Hartman was forced to march for 89 days on scant feed, as Harman calls it: “dehydrated grass soup.” Just four of the bomber’s
crew of nine survived the march, and just one other besides Hartman is living today. • Ken Muston, 92, served in the 3rd Infantry Division and participated in the invasion of Anzio, Italy, on Jan. 22, 1943. He was taken a prisoner of war by the Germans, and like Hartman was given almost no provisions by his captors. “We had a farmer that gave us a pig’s head,” Muston remembers. “It was full of maggots.” Picucci thanked the men for their service. “We don’t know where we would be if you gentlemen had not done what you did,” she said.

Is it going to be me, or the cat? QUESTION: Twice a year, my husband and I drive eight hours to visit our son, his wife and baby. Their place is small, so we stay at a hotel nearby. I have always been afraid of cats and dogs; they have a large cat. But the playroom is in the basement. It would be easy to close the door so the cat stays upstairs. When I suggested this, my daughter-in-law said: “Why should I? The cat lives here.” I was insulted but did not say anything. Next time, I am not planning to visit their home. I do not feel welcome. Thoughts? — Susan ANSWER: So, you’re going to drive eight hours and just stay at the hotel the whole time? I hope it has a good spa and pay-per-view selection. (May I suggest downloading “Catastrophe” from Amazon — a terrific show in which a terrier comes to a sad end?) I get why your back is up. It would have been kinder for your daughter-in-law to accommodate you. But many folks consider their pets members of the family. The idea of shutting them away may strike them as odd as placing their lesspleasant children under quarantine. (And some pets go nutso if their territory is shrunk.) Spell it out. You can’t possibly want to blow up your relationship with your daughter-in-law over
SOCIAL Q’s one insensitive episode. Try to feel less aggrieved and call her. Say: “This may sound crazy to you, but I have always been terrified of dogs and cats. I’m sure Socks is terrific, but I would so appreciate it if you could keep us separated next time.” If you care to go the extra mile, inquire at your local animal shelter about gradual immersion for your fear of pets. For a small donation, the excellent one in my neck of the woods, Animal Rescue Fund, would probably welcome you with open paws. QUESTION: I am a strong animal rights advocate. My sister knows this. She has had a string of bad relationships, but now seems to be getting serious with a man who hunts. She claims he does so for food and conservation, which I don’t buy. I also see on his Facebook page that he mounts animal heads on his walls and, disturbingly, decorates them for the holidays. She is angry that I am unwilling to have a relationship with him, but I don’t feel I can. Help! — Tiffany, Queens ANSWER: Look! It’s Animal Planet week at Social Q’s. I am no hunter (and don’t get me started on automatic weapons), but I have enjoyed venison osso buco and rabbit stew on many
occasions. I have no illusions about how those creatures came to sit on my dinner plate. Would you refuse a friendship with me, too? Whether we kill the animal or merely consume it, we meat-eaters are part of one continuum. That’s a lot of people to snub. I have sat at tables with hunters who gave thanks to the animals that died for our supper. They seemed respectful and a million times more thoughtful about the food chain than most of us. Mounting heads may be part of this respect (or proof that your sister’s new beau is a creep). Only one thing is certain: You are never going to find out unless you get to know him. Staying open for (calm) discussion on our big-ticket issues has been as big a gift (to me) as rigidity has been a hindrance. And if you want to stay close with your sister, you have to make a sincere effort. That doesn’t mean quail hunting with him. But respecting him enough to discover the man in full would be a start. QUESTION: My daughter had a serious boyfriend in high school. He went far away to college in the fall, but promised to keep in touch. She broke up with him at Christmas because he didn’t. He recently came home for the summer and told her that he is gay. My
daughter is devastated. She truly loves this guy, and I believe he loves her. Any advice? — Janet, Michigan ANSWER: He’s gay! They can be close friends, but a sexual relationship seems unlikely. Sympathize with your daughter. The mismatch of her heart’s desire will not lessen her pain. But don’t demonize the boy; he may feel vulnerable enough. And as many people can tell your daughter, she is better off learning the truth now than discovering it at 40. QUESTION: My husband and I often invite friends to dinner. When they ask what they can bring, I say, “Just yourselves.” These aren’t potlucks. But if my husband fields the question, he assigns them actual dishes, “Vegetable side, please.” This is embarrassing. Please make him stop. — Jenn ANSWER: Not my jurisdiction, I’m afraid, though I share your sentiment. Guests should not be expected to bring anything. That’s what makes them guests. Still, many refuse to come empty-handed. If they ask (or insist), respond, “How about a bottle of wine or a pie from the farmstand?” Keep it simple. But asking them to blanch broccoli seems a step too far. Try bribing your husband to keep him quiet.

Baltimore officer in Gray case cleared of charges By JESS BIDGOOD and SHERYL GAY STOLBERG New York Times News Service
BALTIMORE — The acquittal on Thursday of a Baltimore police officer charged with murder and six other crimes in the death of Freddie Gray has dealt a devastating blow to the prosecution, legal experts say, and raises questions about whether the state should press ahead with the trials of four other officers. Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., who drove the police transport van in which Gray suffered the spinal cord injury that killed him, faced the most serious charges of any of the six officers indicted in the fatal arrest. His acquittal on seven counts leaves the state without any convictions after three trials, in one of the nation’s most closely watched police misconduct cases — and continues to leave open the question of what, exactly, happened to Gray inside the van. Judge Barry G. Williams, who presided over the

DES MOINES, Iowa — One of the six men long identified in an iconic World War II photograph showing the raising of the American flag at Iwo Jima was actually not in the image, the Marine Corps announced Thursday after conducting an investigation prompted by the claims of two amateur historians. The Marines formed a review panel earlier this year after the two history buffs studied a number of photos shot during two flag-raisings atop Mount Suribachi during an intense battle between American and Japanese forces in 1945. They claimed the identifications made by the Marines of the six men in the famous photo by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal included mistakes, and after the review, the Marine Corps agreed. “Our history is important to us, and we have a responsibility to ensure it’s right,” Marine Commandant Gen. Robert Neller said in a statement. A panel found that Pfc. Harold Schultz, of Detroit, was in the photo and that Navy Pharmacist’s Mate 2nd Class John Bradley wasn’t. Bradley had participated in an earlier flag-raising on Mount Suribachi, and his role took on a central role after his son, James Bradley, wrote a best-selling book about the flag raisers, “Flags of Our Fathers,” which was later made into a movie directed by Clint Eastwood. James Bradley declined
to comment Thursday when reached by phone. However, he told the AP in May that the Marines’ decision to investigate the matter led him to believe his father confused the first and second raisings of the flag. “My father raised a flag on Iwo Jima,” Bradley said. “The Marines told him way after the fact, ‘Here’s a picture of you raising the flag.’ He had a memory of him raising a flag, and the two events came together.” Random House, the publisher of “Flags of Our Fathers,” released a statement Thursday noting that James Bradley had already concluded his father wasn’t in the famed photo. It said he was working on a new afterword to his book, which will be included with the digital editions soon and with later print editions. The Marines began a review after being contacted by researchers working on a Smithsonian Channel documentary spurred by amateur historians Eric Krelle, of Omaha, Neb., and Stephen Foley, of Wexford, Ireland, whose questions about the photo were first reported by the Omaha World-Herald in 2014. More than 6,500 U.S. servicemen died in the battle at Iwo Jima, a tiny island 660 miles south of Tokyo that was deemed vital to the U.S. war effort because Japanese fighter planes based there were intercepting American bomber planes. The invasion began on Feb. 19, 1945, with about 70,000 Marines battling 18,000 Japanese soldiers for 36 days.
Edward M. Nero, was acquitted last month of four charges. Thursday’s verdicts instantly reignited debate here over whether Mosby had overcharged the officers and prompted speculation about what she will do next. “This was the state’s Waterloo,” declared Warren Brown, a defense lawyer who has been watching the trials, and has been sharply critical of the prosecution. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake issued a bland statement after the verdict that said, in part, “I know the citizens of Baltimore will continue to respect the judicial process and the ruling of the court.” The Baltimore police union called immediately for all remaining charges to be dropped and accused Mosby of “playing politics with our agency.” Mosby had no comment; like all parties in the case, she is bound by a judge’s order barring her from talking about it. But most legal experts agreed that Mosby must now rethink her strategy.

ios.” And he rejected the state’s contention that the officer had given Gray an intentional “rough ride”
and knowingly endangered him by failing to buckle him into the van or provide medical help. Gray was detained after fleeing, apparently unprompted, from officers in the downtrodden Sandtown neighborhood of West Baltimore, and loaded into a police wagon that made six stops in West Baltimore before it arrived at the Western District police station, where Gray was found unresponsive and not breathing, with a devastating spinal cord injury. The death of Gray, a 25year-old black man, set off a wave of violent unrest here last year and thrust this majority black city into the center of a wrenching national debate over race and policing. The state’s attorney, Marilyn Mosby, sought to quell the violence by telling protesters she heard their “call for ‘no justice, no peace,’” promising to deliver “justice on behalf of this young man.” But the first trial, of Officer William Porter, ended with a hung jury in December; he is scheduled to be retried. A second officer,

HAROLD SCHULTZ ... raised flag on Iwo Jima Besides those killed, about 20,000 Americans were wounded. Only about 200 Japanese soldiers were captured, with the others killed in the fighting. Krelle and Foley compared a number of images shot of an earlier flag-raising and the raising of a second, larger flag captured by Rosenthal. They found discrepancies between what the men were wearing, their weapons and equipment they had, prompting Krelle and Foley to argue that some of the Marines had been misidentified and that Bradley participated in the first flag-raising but not the second effort that made for the famous image. The Marines now agree that Schultz, who died in 1995 at age 70, helped raise the flag, along with Harlon Block, Rene Gagnon, Ira Hayes, Franklin Sousley and Michael Strank. The Marine Corps earlier had mistakenly identified a figure in the photo as Sousley who actually was Schultz. Another figure who had been identified as Bradley was Sousley, leaving Bradley out of the picture. Block, Sousley and Strank died at Iwo Jima before the photo was distributed in the U.S.
PHILADELPHIA — Democratic U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah resigned from Congress on Thursday, two days after his conviction in a Philadelphia racketeering case. Fattah, who served on the powerful Appropriations Committee during 11 terms in office, said he hastened his exit out of respect for House leadership and to avoid being a distraction. “I am honored to have had the privilege to serve,” he wrote in a resignation letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan. Fattah, 59, had said earlier in the week he would leave office when he is sentenced in October, but Ryan urged him to step down immediately. He had run for a 12th term, but lost the primary to state Rep. Dwight Evans weeks before his trial began. Within the next 10 days Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf must call a special election, which must be held at least 60 days later. The governor’s spokesman said no decision on a date has yet been made. One option is holding the special election on Nov. 8, when the general election will be held. A jury on Tuesday convicted Fattah on all 22 counts in a case that centered on his misuse of federal grants and nonprofit funds to repay an illegal $1 million campaign loan from his 2007 run for mayor. The eight-year, on-again, off-again FBI investigation that followed his mayoral bid also brought down many people close to Fattah. His son was convicted of bank fraud in a related case and sent to prison for
five years. Two political consultants who let him move money through their businesses pleaded guilty and testified against the congressman. Four trusted associates, two of whom had worked on his congressional staff, were convicted with him at trial. And Fattah’s wife, Philadelphia TV anchor Renee ChenaultFattah, left her job after the indictment CHAKA described FATTAH her as a participant in one of the bribery schemes. She was never charged and denied wrongdoing. Fattah, raised by community activists in West Philadelphia, had been in Congress since 1995 after a decade in the Pennsylvania Statehouse. His U.S. House term was to end Jan. 2, two months after his Oct. 4 sentencing. Fattah’s undoing largely stemmed from his decision to join the Philadelphia mayor’s race in 2007. New campaign funding laws in the city hampered his effort, and led him to seek out the illegal $1 million loan from a wealthy friend, former Sallie Mae chairman Albert Lord. Fattah came in fourth in the primary, as city councilman Michael Nutter won the race and eventually the mayor’s seat.
Fattah was left scrambling to repay the loan. He routed federal grant money through a consultant and on to Lord, the jury found. In his resignation letter, Fattah noted his successes in steering federal funds to education, housing, city infrastructure and other pressing needs. He thanked colleagues on both sides of the aisle, along with his staff, his family and voters in his 2nd Congressional district. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi said Fattah did the right thing in stepping down. “Congressman Chaka Fattah has fought for America’s hardworking families for more than 20 years,” the Democratic leader said. “His prompt resignation was the right thing to do for his constituents in light of the verdict against him.”

Summer Yuengling settles Carpet Sale wastewater allegations HARRISBURG (AP) — The country’s oldest brewery has installed an $8 million wastewater pretreatment system and will pay a $2.8 million fine to settle allegations that it sent pollutants to a municipal wastewater treatment plant. D.G. Yuengling & Son agreed to the penalty to settle allegations that it violated the Clean Water Act numerous times between 2008 and 2015, according to a consent decree filed by federal authorities on Thursday. Companies are required to obtain and comply with permit limits on discharges of industrial waste that goes to public treatment facilities, the Environmental Protection Agency said. That means companies often have to pretreat their wastewater.
“Yuengling is responsible for serious violations of its Clean Water Act pretreatment discharge limits, posing a potential risk to the Schuylkill River, which provides drinking water to 1.5 million people,” said EPA Regional Administrator Shawn Garvin. “This history of violations and failure to fully respond to orders from the Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority and EPA to correct the problems resulted in this enforcement action.” In a complaint filed concurrently with the settlement, authorities alleged that the Pottsville-based company violated pretreatment permit requirements, including discharge limits for pollutants, at least 141 times in that time period.

Play ball!, cruisin’, painting, kids’ day To whom it may concern —
PLAY BALL! Members of the Pittsburgh Franklins, Somerset Frosty Sons of Thunder and Addison Mountain Stars, members of the Vintage Base Ball Association, will play a doubleheader at the White Township Recreation Complex on Saturday as part of the Indiana Borough Bicentennial celebration. The teams follow 1860s rules and wear uniforms of the period. The first pitch — underhanded, of course — is scheduled for noon. There will be a meet-and-greet between games so fans can come onto the diamond at Keystone Rehab Field, chat with the players and take photos. Adding to the 19th century atmosphere, The Indiana Brass Band, under the direction of B.J. Pino, will begin performing at 11:30 a.m. and play between innings. There is no admission fee, although organizers of the event encourage those attending to bring canned goods to be donated to the ICCAP food bank. Ice cream, hot dogs, popcorn, funnel cakes and other concessions will be available.
ALSO AS part of the bicentennial
celebration, a car show to benefit veterans through Team Red White and Blue is set for 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday on Philadelphia Street in Indiana, where Jerry Boucher said organizers “expect a big turnout.” The evening will include classic cars, raffles and music by Boucher, also known as DJ Jerry B. Boucher said thanks are in order to his “right-hand man,” Paul Weston, and Howard Creps, with Creps United Publications, which sponsored the road closure.

Special session called on heroin Continued from Page 1 members can only consider legislation on those subjects designated in the governor’s proclamation. Only 34 such special sessions to brainstorm on one critical, landmark issue have been called in Pennsylvania history. There have been four special sessions since 2000, and the last one was called in 2009-10 to discuss transportation issues. Preventing or cutting down opioid abuse has been a priority for Wolf over the last year, with the Democratic governor traveling around the state for roundtable talks with legislators, drug prevention experts and others. One of those roundtable discussions was held in Indiana on May 6. According to Indiana County Coroner Jerry Overman, the number of substance-related deaths in Indiana County rose from 10 in 2014 to 36 in 2015. Opioids are a class of drugs derived from or pharmacologically similar to opiates. While these analgesics are the most effective pharmaceuticals for killing pain, they carry with them a significant risk of addiction. Turzai said the use, overuse and abuse of this class of drugs cost thousands of lives and cost the commonwealth more than $12.2 million in hospitalization costs annually as of 2012, according to the Pennsylvania Health

GOV. TOM WOLF spoke during a news conference Thursday at the Capitol. “This is a Pennsylvania problem,” he said. Care Cost Containment Council. Among other measures, the governor is pushing for an additional $34 million in funding to treat people for opioid abuse. At Thursday’s news conference, legislators from both parties noted that the House recently passed three bills to address the rising numbers of opioid overdoses and deaths in Pennsylvania. One sets a seven-day limit on the prescription of opioids in emergency rooms; another would require health insurers to cover “abuse-deterrent” opioid medication; the third would require doctors and other health providers to further their education in opioid effects before prescribing the drugs to patients.
The House has also established the Pennsylvania Heroin, Opioid Prevention and Education (PA-HOPE) Caucus. The bipartisan group of legislators is working to address the growing opioid epidemic and expects to issue its findings and recommendations in the next few days. Reed said the special session will likely begin with a joint address by the governor to the General Assembly and the special session may continue through the end of the legislative term. Reed said that while the special session will focus on possible legislative solutions to the problem, he expects it will also bring more public attention to the issue and generate possible solutions from that sector.
“We’ve looked at it from a law enforcement perspective,” Reed said of the opioid crisis. The special session of the General Assembly will now look closely at it from prevention, treatment and recovery standpoints, too, he said. Reed was among the legislators who encouraged Wolf to call the special session. “It is heartbreaking to constantly see obituary listings and later learn these people died of overdoses,” Reed said. “It is going to take a community effort that involves family members to beat this problem. But I believe government can play an important role in helping to find a solution. “Extraordinary circumstances require an extraordinary response and the opioid crisis in the commonwealth is such an occasion,” Reed continued. “A special session will allow us to work with laser focus on putting measures in place to defeat the problem.” Asked about the broad legislative support for the special session to confront the opioid epidemic, Reed said he could not remember another occasion like Thursday — when the governor and nearly every House member from both parties stood together at a press conference in the third week of June. “It’s the most significant bipartisan issue we’ve seen in years,” Reed said.
Directors approve tax increase Continued from Page 1 mills, without requiring a referendum vote by district residents. Arguments against the budget ranged from the impact on retired homeowners, who may already face sizeable increases because of reassessment, to the ongoing effect on the district’s fund balance. “Things are pointing in stormy directions for the district,” Jerry Bertig said. “We have a large gap between revenues and expenditures. Conversion rates are coming in across the county and ours is not favorable, through no fault of our own. We are still the victim of local disparities in subsidies, caught in a quirk that local taxpayers don’t deserve but have to live with. “We are not on a level playing field here,” Bertig said, calling for the district to reduce a science teaching position to half time and to eliminate a social studies position. Director Michael Bertig offered a detailed proposal for secondary class scheduling that he said would provide the same level of social studies instruction with one fewer teacher. He said the district would save $100,000 a year by reducing the position through attrition, and said the accumulated savings of $600,000 over six years would protect the district from going broke. Smith downplayed the warning, saying the district since 2009 has adopted budgets with deficit spending but that the final figures each year have been balanced. Dellafiora said he opposed the tax increase because “shell shock of reassessment is at a high. “It is not our fault, but we don’t have to add it on top of what these people already are facing,” he said.
The 2016-17 budget lists about $16.3 million of expenses. As projected in May, it calls for $15.6 million of state, federal and local revenue, and requires $305,000 from the fund balance to meet expenses. The budget includes a $282,500 “reserve” line item for unexpected costs, and $150,000 taken from the “committed fund balance” to cover the higher contribution to the retirement fund. In budget related business, the board: • Adopted a Homestead/Farmstead Exclusion Resolution that applies the district’s $393,167.76 share of state casino gambling revenue to a discount of $215.18 on the tax bill for each approved property. • Approved a real estate tax installment payment plan. It allows homeowners to pay one-third of their bills by Aug. 31, Oct. 31 and Dec. 31 with no discounts or penalties. • Hired Steven Hall as a temporary professional employee at the current salary of $53,723 to be adjusted for the 2016-17 school year. Hall had been hired in late 2015 as a mid-year replacement for a high school social studies teacher who left the district. Teacher salary increases at HomerCenter are determined by several economic factors including the change in the district’s state subsidy, which has yet to be determined. Hall was approved on a vote of 8 to 1, Jerry Bertig opposed. • Hired Bradley Adams as a high school science and physics teacher at the current salary of $57,263, to be adjusted for 2016-17. Jerry Bertig’s motion to make the science teacher a half-time position failed when no one offered a second; Adams was hired on an 8-1 vote, Jerry Bertig opposed.
• Hired Benjamin Wolford, Alex Arone and Levi Bruner as temporary summer maintenance workers at a rate of $8 an hour with no benefits, retroactive to June 13. The board voted 7 to 2, Jerry Bertig and Justin Smyers opposed. • Approved supplemental contracts for Deanne Magolis, homecoming coordinator, at a stipend of $253; Lisa Adams, chairwoman of the science department, at $477.54; Christine Yurky, gifted program coordinator, at $1,592; Tony Buffone, game manager, at $955; Robert Worcester, first assistant girls’ basketball coach, at $3,510; and Jim Tyger, assistant girls’ basketball coach, $2,301. The contracts were approved 7 to 1, Jerry Bertig opposed and Smyers abstained. • Approved Richard Brown as a volunteer girls’ basketball coach with no opposing votes. • Approved a contract with Facilities Supervisor Ed Sutter for five years from July 1 to June 30, 3021. Under the agreement, Sutter’s base salary will be $54,366 for 2016-17; the agreement provides for annual increases between 2 and 4 percent, subject to periodic review of salaries for similar positions in the region and performance evaluation. The board also: • Granted tenure to teachers Sarah Cook, Wendy Gallo and Jon Stolarz, who have completed three years of satisfactory teaching in the district. • Approved three faculty conference attendance requests and three student field trip requests. • Appointed Danny Sacco, Kate Steele, Terry Gardner, Robert Nymick, Tracey Page and Lori Thompson to serve on the district’s comprehensive planning team.

Group sues over ban on DNC protest By KRISTEN DE GROOT Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Anti-poverty activists sued Philadelphia on Thursday, seeking the right to demonstrate during rush hour as the Democratic National Convention opens next month. The Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign plans to march during rush hour from City Hall to a park near the convention site on opening day, July 25. Its application was rejected by the city in May, citing interference with traffic and conflicts with another event, according to the suit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the group. The city has said it won’t grant permits during rush hour in Center City during the convention. The lawsuit seeks to have a judge declare those timing bans unconstitutional, and to grant the poverty group’s permit. The city said it has no comment until its law department reviews the suit. Philadelphia has in the past granted exceptions for rush-hour parades and other public, the suit contends. The lawsuit said the group of about 500 protesters would start to march at 3 p.m. down Broad Street, Philadelphia’s major north-south artery that runs past City Hall to the sports complex, about 7 miles away where the convention is to be held. It contends the group would be out of the main congestion of Center City by 4 p.m.

Bucs continue to struggle in June By ALAN SAUNDERS Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — With or without Andrew McCutchen in the lineup, the Pittsburgh Pirates are at a loss this month. Manager Clint Hurdle gave his star center fielder a day off and the Pirates fell to San Francisco, 5-3, on Thursday, their 11th defeat in 14 games. Hurdle said McCutchen’s absence had nothing to do with a swollen left thumb, which trainer Todd Tomczyk had said was a “maintenance thing.”
Instead, Hurdle used the day off to try to get the former NL MVP back on track. “It’s not specifically the thumb, it’s just about getting him off the field and getting him a rest — as we do with all the guys — mentally and physically,” Hurdle said. “This is the next option. We’ve tried moving some things around, we’ve tried different routines. He’s tried some different things as well to try and
spark performance.” McCutchen is hitting .187 with just three extra-base hits in the month of June. Pittsburgh dropped to 5-17 in June and fell five games under .500. Joe Panik hit a bases-loaded triple, Mac Williamson launched a 446foot home run and the Giants posted their 12th win in 14 games. San Francisco took three of four at PNC Park. After hitting a key double late in Wednesday night’s win,
Panik put the Giants ahead 3-1 with his triple in the third inning. Williamson followed with an RBI single. Williamson connected for his second home run of the season in the sixth. Albert Suarez (3-1) gave up two earned runs and four hits in five innings. Continued on Page 12

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Auston Matthews will have to wait another 24 hours before learning whether the Toronto Maple Leafs are going to select him with the first pick in the NHL draft. General manager Lou Lamoriello on Thursday said he’s going to keep everyone guessing — including the Arizonaborn, 18-year-old Matthews — until it’s time for the Maple Leafs to announce the selection tonight. “I think we know who we’re going to pick,” Lamoriello said. “No dissension.” What he declined to do was reveal who that player will be for a team preparing to add a significant piece in its bid to restore relevance to one of the NHL’s most recognized franchises. Matthews, who played professionally in Switzerland last season, is ranked first by NHL AUSTON Central Scouting. He MATTHEWS has the chance to be the seventh U.S.-born player selected No. 1, and first since Patrick Kane by Chicago in 2007. The next two rated players are Finnish-born forwards Patrik Laine and Jesse Puljujarvi. The Maple Leafs have plenty riding on their selection at a time they’re ushering in the 100th year of pro hockey being played in Toronto. Toronto is in the midst of a top-to-bottom overhaul after finishing with the NHL’s worst record and missing the playoffs for the 10th time in 11 years. The process began last offseason, when Lamoriello was hired along with coach Mike Babcock. “There’s no question we expect a lot out of the player we’re getting, but certainly not right away,” Lamoriello said. “I don’t think there’s any player who will be the face of this franchise. The logo will be the face of this franchise.” Matthews is aware of the speculation of being Toronto-bound. “Of course the possibility kind of runs through your head,” said Matthews, who had 24 goals and 46 points in 36 games for Zurich, and then led the United States with six goals in 10 games at the world championships in Russia last month. “I’m trying to take it day by day and enjoy this whole experience. I don’t know. We’ll see what happens come Friday.” Though Flames President Brian Burke expects the draft order to be Matthews, Laine and Puljujarvi, Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff declined to speculate who might still be available when Winnipeg selects second. “Nothing surprises you in this draft,” Cheveldayoff said. There’s more uncertainty regarding what teams will follow Toronto and Winnipeg. Continued on Page 13
Record number of international players chosen first By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK — Ben Simmons went from Down Under to the top of the NBA draft, and a record number of international players followed. The Philadelphia 76ers took the Australian with the No. 1 pick on Thursday night, making him the first of a record 14 international players chosen in the first round.
Nearly half the selections in the 30-pick round were international players, topping the 12 international players chosen in the first round in 2013. Simmons got on stage to the sound of cheers from a Philly-filled crowd hoping he could turn around the 76ers. Not long after the same crowd was largely quiet as the draft filled with unfamiliar names.
The picks included the first Austrian (Utah center Jakob Poeltl, No. 9 to Toronto), the highest Greek player ever drafted (Georgios Papagiannis, No. 13, Phoenix, rights dealt to Sacramento), two Croatians (Dragan Bender, No. 4 to Phoenix and Ante Zizic, No. 23, Boston), and two players from the Caribbean (Buddy Hield, Ba-
hamas, No. 6 to New Orleans; and Skal Labissiere, Haiti, No. 28, picked by Phoenix but dealt to Sacramento). The NBA said there were 26 international players selected, surpassing the record of 21 set in 2003. Some of the international players won’t come to the NBA next season, and perhaps never will. Simmons might be ready to star now. Continued on Page 15

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES
MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP
Final seeded team ousted
PIRATES PREVIEW
LOS ANGELES (41-33) vs. PITTSBURGH (34-39)
By The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — Coastal Carolina’s incredible postseason run will continue for at least another day. The Chanticleers got a big boost offensively from an unlikely source, and they capitalized on Texas Tech’s struggles in the field to beat the Red Raiders 7-5 on Thursday in a College World Series elimination game. The Raiders, at No. 5, were the third and final national seed knocked out of the NCAA Tournament, and the second by Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers swept No. 8 LSU on the road in super regionals, and they beat No. 1 Florida in their CWS opener. “If you had told me we would be where we’re at right now four months ago, two months ago, maybe three weeks ago, I’m not sure I would have laid a whole lot of money on it by any means,” coach Gary Gilmore said. The Chanticleers (5117) now move to the Bracket 2 final tonight against TCU. Coastal Carolina has won 17 of its last 19 games and has 51 wins, second most in the country behind Florida’s 52. The Chanticleers are the first team to debut at the CWS and earn multiple wins since Vanderbilt in 2011. Light-hitting David Parrett played a huge role in getting them there, driving in three runs in his first CWS start. “The mindset for today was that it’s a onegame season. That’s what it came down to,” Parrett said. “This group of guys, we don’t want to say goodbye to each other yet. Tomorrow’s another one-game season, so we’re excited about that.” Coastal Carolina converted three errors into six unearned runs. The Red Raiders (47-20) committed seven errors in three CWS games, and seven of the 12 runs against them were unearned. Mike Morrison (8-1) pitched a season-high 4 1-3 innings of relief for the win, and Bobby Holmes earned his fourth save. Erikson Lanning (3-4) took the loss. Morrison, who relieved freshman Jason Bilous with one out in the third inning, is usually the Chanticleers’ closer. He didn’t give up a run until Hunter Hargrove’s sacrifice fly and Michael Davis’ RBI single pulled the Raiders to 7-5 in the seventh. Holmes struck out pinch hitter Ryan Long to end the seventh and got out of the eighth when, with two men on, he knocked down Tyler Neslony’s hard comebacker and got the ball to first just in time. He pitched a perfect ninth. Parrett, a senior who played his junior-college ball 10 minutes from TD Ameritrade Park at Iowa Western in Council Bluffs, came into the game batting .130 with 10 RBIs. With the left-handed Lanning starting for Texas Tech, the right-handed batting Parrett drew the start at catcher in place of Matt Beaird. Parrett singled in a run in the second inning off Lanning and two more in the fifth off left-hander Parker Mushinski. Last season, Parrett started 46 games and hit 10 home runs. “He’s had one of those seasons up until today you kind of want to forget about, compared to what he did last year,” Gilmore said.

TIGERS LEFT FIELDER Justin Upton jumped to catch a fly ball hit by the Mariners’ Robinson Cano in the fifth inning of Thursday’s game in Detroit.
Marlins hand Cubs fourth straight loss By The Associated Press Giancarlo Stanton homered in the fourth inning and singled home the go-ahead run with two outs in the eighth, helping the Miami Marlins send the Chicago Cubs to their fourth consecutive defeat, 4-2 on Thursday night. Stanton’s two hits hiked his average to .216. The Cubs still have the best record in the majors, despite their longest losing streak of the season. The game marked the start of a season-high 11-game road trip for the Cubs. Jon Lester allowed only two runs in seven innings, but Miami ended his streak of wins in five consecutive starts. The Cubs’ David Ross led off the eighth with his sixth homer to make the score 2-all. Christian Yelich started Miami’s rally in the bottom of the eighth with a one-out walk against Pedro Strop (1-2). He advanced on a wild pitch and scored standing up on Stanton’s opposite-field single. J.T. Realmuto followed with an RBI double. Kyle Barraclough (4-2) pitched a scoreless eighth. BRAVES 4, METS 3: Adonis Garcia hit a goahead, two-run homer off Addison Reed in the eighth inning and Atlanta beat New York for the fourth straight time in a week. The Braves trailed 3-2 when Freddie Freeman opened the eighth with a single off Jerry Blevins. Reed (1-2) relieved with one out and, with catcher Travis d’Arnaud calling for a chest-high fastball on an 0-2 count, Garcia connected on a pitch that badly missed the target for his fourth home run. Jim Johnson (1-4) won in relief. Arodys Vizcaino converted his 18th save in 21 chances. DIAMONDBACKS 7, ROCKIES 6: Nick Ahmed had a two-out RBI single in the ninth inning and Arizona recovered after blowing a late lead against Colorado. Diamondbacks closer Brad Ziegler (2-2) ended his streak of 43 consecutive successful save attempts dating to May 29, 2015, a club record and the seventh longest ever. He allowed an inherited runner to score while the Rockies overcame a 6-3 deficit to tie it in the eighth inning. Arizona regained the lead in the ninth off reliever Carlos Estevez (1-4). PADRES 7, REDS 4: Derek Norris hit a threerun homer that completed San Diego’s sixth-inning comeback, and the NL’s highest-scoring team in June rallied to win a matchup of last-place teams. J.C. Ramirez (1-3) gave up Norris’ 10th homer run for a 6-4 lead. Christian Friedrich (4-2) allowed four runs in five innings, including Adam Duvall’s two-run homer. Fernando Rodney remained perfect in 16 save chances. INTERLEAGUE PHILLIES 7, TWINS 3: Struggling Freddy Galvis homered and drove in a career-high five runs to help Philadelphia beat Minnesota and end a nine-game losing streak. Cesar Hernandez tied a career high with four hits and slumping Ryan Howard homered as part of his first multiple-hit game since April 29. The Phillies won for just the second time in 15 games.
Jerad Eickhoff (5-9) gave up one earned run and five hits in six innings. In winning three of his past four starts, Eickhoff has allowed five earned runs in 24 2-3 innings. The last three Philadelphia wins over a 17game span were all Eickhoff victories. Looking to become the first Twins pitcher with four wins, Ricky Nolasco (3-5) allowed 10 hits and four earned runs in 6 2-3 innings. AMERICAN LEAGUE TIGERS 5, MARINERS 4: Pinch runner Cameron Maybin easily scored on a basesloaded wild pitch by Steve Cishek with two outs in the 10th inning, giving Detroit a four-game sweep of Seattle. The Mariners, who missed a chance when Robinson Cano struck out with a runner on third to end the 10th, lost their sixth in a row. Steven Moya drew a one-out walk from Cishek (2-4) and Maybin pinch ran. Pinch hitter Victor Martinez singled, with an error by left fielder Seth Smith on the play putting runners on second and third. After an intentional walk to load the bases, Andrew Romine struck out. Cishek then threw a pitch that catcher Chris Iannetta couldn’t corral, allowing Maybin to run home. Kyle Ryan (3-2), who worked out of a bases-loaded jam Wednesday night, earned the win by escaping a jam of his own making in the 10th. RED SOX 8, WHITE SOX 7: Xander Bogaerts singled in the game-winning run in the 10th inning as Boston beat Chicago and avoided a four-game sweep. Chicago led 3-0, 4-1 and 7-5 before Boston sent it into extra innings with a run in the seventh and another in the eighth. The White Sox loaded the bases with nobody out in the 10th, but Craig Kimbrel (13) got J.B. Shuck on an infield popup and then struck out Tim Anderson and Adam Eaton. In the bottom half, Matt Purke (0-1) walked two before Bogaerts lined one up the middle and Mookie Betts scored easily from second. James Shields pitched his best outing since being acquired by the White Sox on June 4, allowing three runs on five hits in five innings. Jose Abreu hit a three-run homer and Alex Avila had four hits for Chicago. ATHLETICS 5, ANGELS 4: Marcus Semien and Khris Davis homered to help Kendall Graveman get the first win by an Oakland starter in more than three weeks as the Athletics beat Los Angeles. Graveman (3-6) gave up two runs and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings to get the first win for an A’s starter since June 1 after the rotation had combined to go 0-9 in the previous 17 games. Semien hit a three-run shot off Tim Lincecum (1-1) in Oakland’s four-run second. Davis’ solo shot in the fifth made it 52. Sean Doolittle gave up a two-run homer to Jeff Bandy in the ninth but held on for his fourth save. Home plate umpire Paul Emmel was hit in the head by Jefry Marte’s bat with two outs in the ninth when the pinch hitter lost control of it on a follow-through. Emmel fell to his knees before leaving the field with a towel held to his head.

Punxsutawney wins sixth straight By The Indiana Gazette Punxsutawney is making up for lost time in Indiana County Senior Legion baseball action. After starting its season three weeks late due to the PIAA baseball playoffs, Punxsutawney reeled off its sixth straight win and snapped Young Township’s six game-winning streak with a 10-0 victory on Thursday. While the rest of the league opened the season on May 24, Punxsutawney didn’t start until June 13. After opening the season with a 1-0 loss to Armstrong, Punxsutawney has reeled off two wins over Kovacik Insurance, two over Marion Center and another over Indiana Legion before knocking off Young Township in a game that was shortened to six innings due to the 10-run mercy rule. Punxsutawney led 2-0 after three innings, broke the game open with a six-run fourth and ended it in the
sixth by scoring two more runs. Lantz Pennington pitched a complete-game five-hit shutout. He struck out six and walked one and was backed up by a defense that did not commit an error. Tyler Richardson and Kyle Dunkle each had two of Punxsutawney’s 10 hits. Pennington, Dunkle and Joey Dipetro each drove in two runs. Tanner Yard took the loss. Both teams play Saturday. Punxsutawney (6-1) plays at Armstrong, and Young Township (8-5) welcomes Indiana Legion. YOUTH LEGION MARION CENTER 3, KELLY CHRYSLER 2: In a game played Wednesday, first-place Marion Center plated a run in the bottom of the 10th inning to nip second-place Kelly Chrysler in an Indiana County Youth Legion baseball game. Tyler Howells began Marion Center’s rally in the 10th by ripping a single. Sam Peterson, Howells’

courtesy runner, advanced to third on a pair of wild pitches by Kelly Chrysler’s Dane Lyle. Then, with one out, Brendan Mondi drilled a line drive that a Kelly Chrysler infielder misplayed to allow Peterson to score the game-winning run. Tyler Lightcap pitched a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win. Taylor McCunn struck out seven in four hitless innings, and Howells tossed five innings of scoreless relief. For Kelly Chrysler, Bryan Dworek struck out five and allowed two runs in five innings, Aaron Park pitched three innings of scoreless relief, and losing pitcher Lyle pitched two innings of relief. Both teams play today. Marion Center (13-1) plays host to Clymer Legion, and Kelly Chrysler welcomes Young Township. S.W. JACK 12, CLYMER LEGION 5: In a game played Wednesday, S.W. Jack broke open a one-run game and scored seven runs in the top of
the sixth inning to upend host Clymer Legion. The Black Sox were clinging to a one-run lead when they plated seven runs on five hits, three errors and two walks in the sixth to make the score 12-4. “When you play a good team like that, you can’t strand that many runners,” Clymer Legion coach Bill Eckenrode said. “We stranded 11 runners and committed five errors, and three of those errors came at the worse time for us.” Ryan Putt fanned six, walked one and allowed nine hits in a complete-game win. A.J. Ryan went 3-for-4, and Ryan Dixson finished 2-for-4. For Clymer Legion, Malichi Pugh singled and doubled, and Dimitri Lieb and Mason Engel smacked two singles apiece. Both teams play today. Clymer Legion (4-12) travels to Marion Center, and S.W. Jack plays host to Walbeck Insurance.

Leafs remain mum on top pick Continued from Page 11 The Columbus Blue Jackets have the No. 3 pick, and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said he wants to see which two players are taken ahead of him before determining whether to trade out of the spot. “We’ve been taking phone calls all day today, all day yesterday, and there’s a lot of interest in that pick,” said Kekalainen, noting he’s had trade discussions with each team in the top 10. “I think we’re getting some serious and real offers right now.” The Edmonton Oilers are shopping the No. 4 pick, with GM Peter Chiarelli in the market to add an established defenseman to a team stocked with young forwards. “There’s a lot of talk, and it’s no secret we’re in the market for a defenseman, and we’re fully engaged,” said Chiarelli, who guessed
there’s a better than 50 percent chance Edmonton will retain the pick. The Vancouver Canucks select fifth followed by the Calgary Flames at six in a draft order that features all seven Canadian-based teams selecting in the top 12. That’s a reflection of Canada’s franchises being shut out of playoff contention last season for the first time since 1969-70, when Toronto and Montreal missed the postseason. What’s also missing are top-ranked Canadian-born prospects in a draft class that could have as many as eight Americans among the first 15 players selected. Left wing Pierre-Luc Dubois, who is from Quebec, is expected to be selected among the first six picks. The draft order has already been altered this week, with the Maple Leafs 1270 W Wayne ayne a A Ave. vve.

trading the 30th pick to Anaheim in a deal to acquire goalie Frederik Andersen. The upcoming freeagency period, which opens July 1, looms over the draft, especially with teams being allowed to begin meeting with prospective free agents on Saturday. Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos has a chance to lead the crop of free agents, with both Toronto and Buffalo among the contenders to sign him. Though he’d prefer going first, Laine said he’d wel-
come the opportunity to be drafted by Winnipeg, where former Finnish star Teemu Selanne began his career in 1992. Puljujarvi speaks little English, but made it clear where he believes he should be selected. “I think I go to No. 1,” he said. Puljujarvi had minor surgery a few weeks ago to repair his left MCL. Canucks GM Jim Benning said the operation went well and he doesn’t expect it will affect Puljujarvi’s draft ranking.

International players taken first in NBA draft
Continued from Page 11 Philadelphia grabbed the versatile 6-foot-10 forward from LSU who averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists to become the only player in Southeastern Conference history to finish in the top five in all three categories. He comes with some questions — he made only one 3-pointer — but too much potential for the 76ers to pass up with their first No. 1 pick since taking Allen Iverson 20 years ago. “It feels amazing, honestly,” Simmons said. “I can’t even — my legs were shaking when I was on stage.” Philadelphia fans who made the trip to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center loudly cheered the selection in hopes that Simmons can help them move forward after three straight dismal seasons, including a 10-72 finish in 2015-16 that was just a game better than the worst ever in the 82-game schedule. The last No. 1 pick from LSU was Shaquille O’Neal — who will be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame along with Iverson in September. The Los Angeles Lakers, picking second for the second consecutive year, took Duke’s Brandon Ingram, who averaged 17.3 points as the ACC freshman of the year.
He is the latest young player on a team that will begin life without the retired Kobe Bryant next season. “I’m just going to be myself,” Ingram said. “Whatever I can do to impact the game, whatever the coach needs me to do, I’m going to do it.” The Boston Celtics then began a busy night by picking California forward Jaylen Brown. Boston had eight picks in the tworound draft, starting with one it acquired from Brooklyn in 2013 in the deal that sent Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Nets. Bender ended the run of three straight freshmen when the Suns selected the 7-1 forward who has been playing professionally for Maccabi Tel Aviv. Milwaukee rounded out the top 10 with Thon Maker, originally from South Sudan, and Orlando followed with Domantas Sabonis, whose rights were quickly dealt to Oklahoma City along with Victor Oladipo and Ersan Ilyasova for forward Serge Ibaka. The Minnesota Timberwolves used the No. 5 pick on Providence junior Kris Dunn, a two-time Defensive Player of the Year in the Big East who should fit nicely for new coach Tom Thibodeau. A couple of the draft’s best shooters went next, with
New Orleans grabbing AllAmerican Hield from Oklahoma, and Denver picking Kentucky freshman Jamal Murray at No. 7. Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine, the Associated Press Player of the Year, went 14th to Chicago to close the lottery. But that was a rare wellknown name to the crowd at the time, as Papagiannis went 13th to Phoenix — climbing out of a crowd in the stands near the concourse level surrounded by Greek flags — with Spain’s Juan Hernangomez going 15th to Denver, and Boston selecting Guerschon Yabusele of France at No. 16. Even they seemed surprised to hear their names called by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “Nobody was expecting,” Yabusele said. “I see (the cameras) coming close to me, see my name. So I was really surprised to be in here, but I was so happy.” Labissiere, who played with Murray at Kentucky, barely sneaked into the first round after being considered a potential lottery pick. “It was tough at first, but one thing about the league, one thing about all of us now, everything starts over for all of us,” he said. “We all start over once we get to that level. I’m excited to get to work.”
GOLF ROUNDUP
Rahm takes first-round lead at Congressional By The Associated Press Jon Rahm couldn’t remember a single shot he took in a professional debut to remember. Ernie Els recalled shots he hit on the same course 19 years ago. Rahm shot a 7-under 64 on Thursday at Congressional to take the first-round lead in the Quicken Loans National, Tiger Woods’ annual tournament that started two hours late because of rain. The soft course, with a fox lounging on the edge of a bunker and darting around with little care for the golf going on around him, allowed players to attack fairways and play aggressively. Rahm took advantage of that with seven birdies in a bogey-free round. “I was anticipating this moment,” the 21-year-old Spaniard said. “I’m working on it a long time that I kind of blacked out a little bit. I don’t remember a single swing I made all day or any putting stroke or anything. I just remember the ball flying or rolling.” The former Arizona State star was the only amateur to make the cut last week in the U.S. Open, tying for
23rd at Oakmont. With momentum from the U.S. Open, Rahm tried to temper his expectations and relied on advice from golf great Jack Nicklaus. “What he told me is to just never do more than what I can do,” said Rahm, who cited not looking at social media as another key to his success. “Try not to risk too much. And that’s certainly something I did today.” The long-hitting Rahm had a onestroke lead over Jhonattan Vegas and a two-stroke advantage over a pack that included Els, who won the 1997 U.S. Open at Congressional. Rickie Fowler and Vijay Singh were among those at 68. Els, who turned pro five years before Rahm was born, chose to play the Quicken Loans immediately after missing the cut at the U.S. Open because of how much he likes the course. He has the same caddie, Ricci Roberts, who was on his bag back in 1997, and Thursday was full of useful memories. “Winning a major at a special place like Congressional, playing here again, you just keep thinking back on shots,” Els said. “Almost
every single hole there’s a moment back in ’97 where we can remember still.” Rahm has been gradually improving. He opened eyes by tying for fifth at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February 2015 and turned pro as the top-ranked amateur. Now his challenge is to keep expectations low while leading a tournament. Rahm’s plan was to go see a movie and get away from golf rather than focus on it. “It is a challenge,” Rahm said. “I’ve been playing a lot of golf lately and maybe trying to get time off golf is just as important as time practicing, so maybe just resting my mind a little bit would be the best way to do it.” Bill Haas, Jamie Lovemark, Kyle Reifers, Camilo Villegas, Harold Varner III, Billy Hurley IIIand Wesley Bryan were at 66 along with Els. The 7,569-yard course, which last hosted the U.S. Open in 2011 when Rory McIlroy won it by eight strokes, could play even longer once it dries out by the weekend. After rain that started before dawn, players said the fairways weren’t bouncing, so clean shots could get the job done.
“On this course you had better drive it well in the fairway and it’s a bonus if you can drive it long and straight,” Vegas said. “Put it in the fairway and greens being a little softer than normal, you can play a good round today.” PGA EUROPEAN: Raphael Jacquelin leads Oliver Fisher by one stroke after the opening round of the BMW International Open on Thursday. Jacquelin shot seven birdies to finish the day at seven under par 65 as some of the favorites struggled on the windy Golf Club Gut Laerchenhof outside Cologne. Masters Champion Danny Willett had two double bogeys and two bogeys on the back nine to finish at two over. Sergio Garcia, fresh from a fifthplace finish at last week’s US Open Championship, carded a one under par 71. Felipe Aguilar, Zander Lombard and Thorbjoern Olesen were tied at five under. Last year’s tournament winner Pablo Larrazabal and runner-up Henryk Stenson were in a group of eight players at four under.
BRIEFS From Gazette wire services
Indiana native hired as Bills scout UNDATED — Indiana native Ryan Hollern was hired as the Buffalo Bills’ college scouting coordinator. Hollern, a 1997 graduate of Indiana High School, joins the Bills’ staff after spending seven seasons in New Orleans. He was an area scout for three years and the Saints’ combine scout for four years. Hollern won a Super Bowl ring with the Saints in 2010.
Mikulak leads at gymnastics trials ST. LOUIS (AP) — Sam Mikulak is closing in on a second straight trip to the Olympics. After that, it’s anybody’s guess. Mikulak posted a score of 90.650 to top the first night of U.S. Olympic men’s gymnastic trials on Thursday night. Posting the top scores on floor exercise and vault, Mikulak is rounding into form as he tries to spearhead what the Americans hope is a team deep enough to make a run at the podium in Rio de Janeiro in August. Chris Brooks was second at 89.175, with resurgent Danell Leyva in third. The five-man Olympic team will be announced after Saturday night’s final, with the panel taking into account the performances from the national championships and the trials when putting the squad together. • INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Standing off to the side of the 10-meter platform, Steele Johnson realized he and synchronized diving teammate David Boudia had such a large lead Thursday if they didn’t complete their final dive at the trials they would still win the final round and earn spots in the Olympic Games. But Boudia, who competed in the 2008 and 20012 Olympics, reeled in his teammate and the pair completed their final dive, finishing with a score of 1,326.57 to cement their spot on the U.S. team. Ryan Hawkins and Toby Stanley finished in second at 1,088.55.
Panel studying Vegas stadium plan LAS VEGAS (AP) — A day after Las Vegas won a bid for an NHL hockey team, a governor’s panel studying a proposal for a 65,000-seat stadium to lure the NFL’s Oakland Raiders to town was met with a cascade of changing numbers. There was no talk about whether gambling on pro sports is a good idea. Officials focused more on the key question of finding a site on which to build a stadium now projected to cost $1.45 billion. Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee members heard again that the project won’t cost the public more than $750 million — mostly through a hotel room tax increase. A top executive with casino mogul Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands Corp. is vowing the deal will get done.
Minor leaguer banned 80 games NEW YORK (AP) — Seattle Mariners minor league outfielder Boog Powell was suspended 80 games for violating Major League Baseball’s drug agreement after testing positive for a banned performanceenhancing substance. The commissioner’s office made the announcement Thursday. It was Powell’s second penalty for a banned substance. The 23-year-old Powell, not related to the former Baltimore slugger in the 1960s and 1970s, was on Seattle’s 40-man roster. He hasn’t played in the majors. Powell was hitting .270 in 64 games at Triple-A.

In cult of TCM, front row is lined with filmmakers By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Turner Classic Movies, that bastion of blackand-white, holds a unique place on the dial and in the hearts of cinephiles. In a continuous, commercialfree stream, much of the history of Hollywood is on view, 24/7, for sampling and binging â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an uncorrupted corner of celluloid obsession that flickers day and night with Buster Keaton shorts, Robert Ryan series and Ernst Lubitsch marathons. But for many filmmakers, TCM isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a favorite channel, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their lifeblood. Among directors from Martin Scorsese to Paul Thomas Anderson, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common refrain that Turner Classic is a constant source of inspiration and a beloved background in their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tend to have it on in the kitchen,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson (â&#x20AC;&#x153;There Will Be Bloodâ&#x20AC;?). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a small TV in the kitchen, a great old Sony Trinitron. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably where I see it the most. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comfort blanket. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a pacifier.â&#x20AC;? While Anderson might have once watched a string of films on TCM, he now has four children and is more likely to catch 15 minutes of something while making breakfast. But he says even a small bite of a great film is â&#x20AC;&#x153;food and drink in a way, to me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wake up in the middle of the night with hot sweats, thinking: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen to TCM? Are there going to be commercials? Is somebody going to buy it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Anderson, building to a mock scream. Since premiering in 1994, (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone With the Windâ&#x20AC;?) Turner Classic has been a glorious anachronism on the television landscape. Now available in about 85 million homes, it beams out film after film with almost no exceptions: an endless feast of pre-code comedies and post-war noir, John Ford Westerns and Fred Astaire musicals. Especially in the dog days of summer, when superheroes have a stranglehold on movie theaters, TCM can be an oasis.
Turner Classic Movies
FRED ASTAIRE, above, danced in a scene from the 1951 film â&#x20AC;&#x153;Royal Wedding.â&#x20AC;? Below, Robert Ryan is shown in the 1951 movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flying Leathernecks.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turner Classic is the only thing that kept me a U.S. citizen during the Bush years,â&#x20AC;? says Alexander Payne (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sideways,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Electionâ&#x20AC;?). The round-the-clock programming (some 400 movies air in a month) means there are plenty of duds, too. But they in some way only add to the charm. Even weaker, forgettable films can offer directors lessons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes more so than the classics. It has long been watched by filmmakers with a keen eye to their craft: a window into how different directors move the camera or summoned an atmosphere. Sidney Lumet, the director who so famously satirized television news in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Network,â&#x20AC;? said before his death in 2011 that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watch TV much, but he watched Turner Classic Movies religiously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every evening Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m home, I automatically check Turner Classic Movies and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on,â&#x20AC;? Lumet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to be a good movie. For me, it starts you thinking: What was it that
made them do this?â&#x20AC;? There are, of course, many other avenues for such study, but few that can be beckoned with a simple click or with the same sense of discovery. TCM is like radio for movies.
Martin Scorsese pens a monthly column for the network and has made the restoration of old films a personal crusade. For him, the distance between making movies and watching them on TCM is comically small. While editing his films alongside his regular editor, Thelma Schoonmaker, Scorsese keeps the channel perpetually playing on a nearby monitor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the time. Not with sound. And away from Thelma,â&#x20AC;? Scorsese says, chuckling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I watch when I want to. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll glance over and see a certain scene. Or sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll glance over and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What was that a minute ago?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soand-so. Or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show her a sequence that comes on.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a connection for Scorsese to his earliest exposure to movies; he grew up watching films on television. Payne, too. But TV has changed considerably since then. Amid the rise of original cable programming, TCM has been one of the
few to stay devoted to movies. Its original rival, AMC, became home to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Walking Deadâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking Badâ&#x20AC;?; it no longer goes by its full name: American Movie Classics. IFC, too, has moved away from indie films to embrace scripted comedies like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Portlandia.â&#x20AC;? But TCM, which is owned by Turner (part of Time Warner), has been happy to be the standard bearer for vintage film. It now hosts an L.A. film festival and a seven-night cruise. The channelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime host and face of the network, Robert Osborne â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that friendly font of movie trivia, forever walking toward the camera â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is now joined by hosts Ben Mankiewicz and the recently added Tiffany Vazquez. But the biggest change is yet to come: a new subscription-based streaming service from TCM and the Criterion Collection, a partnership that unites two tent poles of home-movie cinephilia. It also fills a void; Netflix has shown little interest in streaming older films. The service, FilmStruck, is to launch in the fall. Yet being able to pick and choose isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite the same as dipping into and out of TCMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broadcast stream. Though TCM can seem like a nostalgia factory for golden-age Hollywood, the network (which has an on-demand app) has courted younger viewers. A 2012 survey found that its audience isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so old â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 60 percent are aged 25-54. And some of its most famous fans watch on a variety of screens, including Steven Spielberg, who describes himself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a TCM devotee.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I watch these movies mainly when I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get my iPad out and watch them,â&#x20AC;? says Spielberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of just running one Greta Garbo film, they run four or five and you get to see them all.â&#x20AC;? Such discoveries are a part of a never-ending communion with cinema. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to watch a lot of the silent movies,â&#x20AC;? says Spielberg, who has rewatched all of Keatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s films in recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They taught me so much about where to put the camera.â&#x20AC;?
DeVito looks to stay hopeful, not slow down By LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer
LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In late July 2014, Danny DeVito started trending on social media after a few people snapped shots of him walking around Manhattan with a dachshund wearing a yellow polka dot dress. The dachshund was in the dress, not DeVito, but it was still quite a sight. He later explained to Jimmy Fallon that it was in fact for a movie, indie auteur Todd Solondzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wiener-Dog,â&#x20AC;? which hits theaters in limited release today. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say that the joy of that image takes on a vastly different tone in the actual film, where DeVito plays a sad sack screenwriting professor whose life is a series of escalating disappointments. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the vignettes in the film, which chronicle the pupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time with different owners (the others are Julie Delpy and Tracy Letts, Greta Gerwig and Ellen Burstyn). DeVito, 71, is seated in his trailer on the Fox Studios lot where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filming season 12 of the FXX comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had the trailer for 20-some years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his second and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reminder of the stark contrast be-
DANNY DeVITO tween a well-oiled sitcom and an indie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no budget film.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even a low budget film. There was no money. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to ... I mean, look at where I am,â&#x20AC;? he says gesturing to the lived-in trailer thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easily as big as an apartment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is where I go between takes. I have a bathroom. I have a bedroom ... On â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wiener-Dog,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; we peed in bodegas.â&#x20AC;? He loves the film, Solondz and the experience, even if his canine companion proved to be a little trying at times. Their first scene together was supposed to be a simple shot taken from two angles of DeVito picking out the yellow dress at a store and showing it to the dog.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dog did not stop moving. Never ever looked at the costume. Never looked at me. Looked at the trainer, went over here, went over there. I think I showed the costume to the dog 40 times. We finally got it, but the dog was, you know,â&#x20AC;? DeVito said laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with dogs and cats! In â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The War of the Roses,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; we had a dog chasing a cat. A lot of the times it works out. This dog? This dog was tough. After about a half hour I said to Todd, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;note to self, first find dog that listens to you, then write the script!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his character, whose name even sounds like a downer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dave Schmerz. His students donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respect him. His agent wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return his calls. And his life is just one painfully banal blow after another. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unexpected dramatic turn that will punch you in the gut, and from an actor that we thought we all knew pretty well by this point. DeVitoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more hopeful than Dave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always thought of the guy who won the (Best Original Screenplay) Oscar for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speechâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; when I was looking at Dave,â&#x20AC;? DeVito said of David Seidler, who was in his 70s when he won his first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up!â&#x20AC;?
Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also not giving up on Bernie Sanders, who heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stick with until the convention, or the country for that matter. Gripping his wellworn â&#x20AC;&#x153;Democracy Now!â&#x20AC;? baseball cap, he talks passionately about the power of the people to change things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I marched in the street not to go to Vietnam. Ultimately they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take me. But the only way you can stop things is people. People have to get together,â&#x20AC;? he said. DeVito is still as curious and engaged as ever, dropping theories and facts from books like Jared Diamondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gun, Germs, and Steel,â&#x20AC;? Yuval Noah Harariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankindâ&#x20AC;? and a recent â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fresh Airâ&#x20AC;? episode about gerrymandering. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got other projects brewing too, like â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Comedian,â&#x20AC;? a Taylor Hackford comedy with Robert De Niro, Cloris Leachman, Patti LuPone and Edie Falco, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in post-production, and the long gestating â&#x20AC;&#x153;Triplets,â&#x20AC;? which would be a sequel to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twins.â&#x20AC;? The one heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most excited about, however, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Asbury,â&#x20AC;? which would take him back to his hometown in New Jersey and into the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically the story
about getting out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timeless,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure exactly when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to shoot it, but I want it to be right before I start.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Always Sunny ...â&#x20AC;? shoots for a swift 12 weeks and then DeVito is free to travel, maybe look for another play to do and figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next. The show has already been renewed for two more seasons, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to stop until I have to,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one deadline.â&#x20AC;?

Free food and internet keep son Jury: Led Zeppelin from fully moving out of mom’s did not steal riff DEAR ABBY: My 21-year-old son, “Evan,” recently moved out to be with his girlfriend. They live in a small apartment and cannot afford a lot beyond the basics, including internet. They spend every moment at my house when they are not working. They use our internet, eat our food and drink our beverages. I know this may sound terrible, but I want my freedom! Dear Abby is I don’t feel I written by should be obligated Abigail Van to give them free Buren, also food and internet known as every day, considerJeanne ing that they show Phillips, and up with new was founded by her mother, phones and new speakers in their Pauline cars.

If they would come to visit with me instead of just hanging around, I’d

welcome it. But neither of them hardly speaks to me while they’re here. How do I approach this without making Evan and his girlfriend feel completely unwelcome? — MOM NEEDING SPACE IN TEXAS DEAR MOM: Set some boundaries by telling Evan and his girlfriend a version of what you have written to me. Explain that they’re welcome to come over once a week or twice a month — provided they act like good guests while they’re there. Then describe for them what that means, including staying off the internet and leaving their new cellphones in the car. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to mention that gracious guests occasionally invite their hostess out for a bite. That’s not being “mean”; it’s explaining the facts of life they seem to have missed while becoming the adults they are. DEAR ABBY: My 15-year-old granddaughter has always been shy and quiet. Boys at school sometimes approach her to “date.” She likes one really sweet boy who is kind of shy like she is. He held her hand for the first time recently (she was wearing gloves) and she freaked out! Now she walks around with her hands in her pockets when she’s around him.

Why is she so afraid? She can’t relax and just like him. Please tell my daughter and me how to handle this. Does my granddaughter need to see a doctor? — GRANDMA PEGGY DEAR GRANDMA PEGGY: The person you should ask about the reason for her extreme reaction after that boy held her hand is your granddaughter. She is either not ready to have a relationship with a boy — not all teens mature at the same rate — or she may not be as into the young man as you think she is. If she’s comfortable the way she is, don’t push her. If she indicates to you that she’s unhappy, that’s the time to enlist the help of a doctor or licensed mental health professional. DEAR ABBY: Should I be offended that my in-laws set up a college savings fund for my children but didn’t allow me — only my wife — to be an authorized signer on the accounts? I am grateful, but I also feel slighted. Am I wrong to feel the way I do about this situation? — LEFT OUT IN CALIFORNIA DEAR LEFT OUT: Right or wrong, your feelings are your feelings. If you want to know whether they are valid, while you are thanking them for their generosity, ask your in-laws why they arranged the fund that way.
LOS ANGELES — Led Zeppelin did not steal the opening riff of its classic rock anthem “Stairway to Heaven,” a federal jury ruled on Thursday, giving the band a victory in a copyright case in which millions of dollars were at stake. The case pitted an obscure song from the margins of rock history against one of the canonical hits of the genre. The suit was filed two years ago by Michael Skidmore, a trustee for the songs of Randy Wolfe, a member of the band Spirit. It contends that the Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page and Robert Plant had lifted substantial portions of the Spirit song “Taurus,” from 1968, for the beginning of “Stairway to Heaven,” which was released in 1971 and, by some estimates, has earned more than $500 million. Wolfe died in 1997 and complained of the similarity in interviews but never brought a suit. The case was filed shortly after a Supreme
Court ruling allowed copyright infringement cases to go forward even after long delays. Lawyers for Skidmore presented evidence showing that the bands crossed paths while touring early in their careers, as well as testimony from music experts saying that both songs shared a similar chord progression and, most distinctively, a descending bass line in a chromatic scale. Plant and Page both testified that “Stairway to Heaven” had been composed independently, and that while both bands had played on the same bill a handful of times, they did not recall ever seeing Spirit perform and had no familiarity with “Taurus” until the lawsuit was brought. The jury found that, although Page and Plant had access to “Taurus” before the release of “Stairway to Heaven,” the two songs’ original elements did not contain enough extrinsic similarities and therefore ownership could not be disputed.
TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press
Today is Friday, June 24, the 176th day of 2016. There are 190 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 24, 1946, Fred M. Vinson was sworn in as the 13th chief justice of the United States, succeeding the late Harlan F. Stone. On this date: In 1509, Henry VIII was crowned king of England; his wife, Catherine of Aragon, was crowned queen consort. In 1793, the first republican constitution in France was adopted. In 1880, “O Canada,” the future Canadian national anthem, was first performed in Quebec City. In 1908, Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, died in Princeton, N.J., at age 71. In 1939, the Southeast Asian country of Siam changed its name to Thailand. (It went back to being Siam in 1945, then became Thai-
land once again in 1949.) In 1940, France signed an armistice with Italy during World War II. In 1948, communist forces cut off all land and water routes between West Germany and West Berlin, prompting the western allies to organize the Berlin Airlift. In 1964, AT&T inaugurated commercial “Picturephone” service between New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. (the service, however, never caught on). In 1968, “Resurrection City,” a shantytown constructed as part of the Poor People’s March on Washington, D.C., was closed down by authorities. In 1975, 113 people were killed when Eastern Airlines Flight 66, a Boeing 727 carrying 124 people, crashed while attempting to land during a thunderstorm at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. In 1983, the space shuttle Chal-
lenger — carrying America’s first woman in space, Sally K. Ride — coasted to a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1990, Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan was virtually drowned out by jeering demonstrators as he addressed the Sixth International AIDS conference in San Francisco. Ten years ago: Patsy Ramsey, who had been thrust into the spotlight by the unsolved slaying of her daughter JonBenet, died in Roswell, Ga., at age 49. Five years ago: A defiant U.S. House voted overwhelmingly to deny President Barack Obama the authority to wage war against Libya, but Republicans fell short in an effort to actually cut off funds for the operation. New York state legalized same-sex marriage. A truck-tractor hauling two side-dump trailers ran into a 12car Amtrak passenger train at a
crossing in the Nevada desert, killing six people, including the truck driver. One year ago: A federal judge in Boston formally sentenced Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death for the 2013 terror attacks. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley became the first Southern governor to use his executive power to remove Confederate banners, as four flags with secessionist symbols were taken down from a large monument to rebel soldiers outside the state capitol in Montgomery. Pavin Smith homered and drove in three runs and Brandon Waddell turned in another strong College World Series pitching performance, leading Virginia over Vanderbilt 4-2 for the school’s first baseball national championship.

William Blackstone, an 18thcentury English jurist, judge and member of parliament, said, “That the king can do no wrong is a necessary and fundamental principle of the English constitution.” At the bridge table, a king — or a queen, for that matter — can be played at the wrong time. How is that relevant to this deal? South is in three no-trump, and West leads the spade nine in answer to his partner’s overcall. What happens after that? South starts with
seven tricks: two spades, two hearts and three clubs. He must set up his diamond suit. But since that means losing the lead twice, the defenders have time on their side, if they use it wisely. First, East, from his partner’s lead, knows that South has A-J-6 or A-J-6-4 of spades. When you are trying to establish a suit in which declarer has two winners, make him use up one of them as soon as possible — and trick one is not too early. East should overtake the spade nine with his 10 (or encourage with the eight). South wins with his jack, plays a heart to dummy’s king, and leads the diamond queen. East must not cover an honor with an honor. He must play low and hope partner has the ace. Here, West wins the trick and returns his second spade. East can now set up his suit while he still has the diamond king as an entry. The defenders take three spades and two diamonds. Note finally that if East plays the spade queen at trick one, South ducks and will make his contract. When West is in with the diamond ace, he will not have a spade left to lead.
