U.K. tries to allay fiscal fears
BICENTENNIAL BEAUTIES
By DANICA KIRKA Associated Press
LONDON — Britain’s Treasury chief sought today to ease concerns about the vote to leave the European Union, saying the economy is as strong as it could be to face the uncertainty — even as a survey showed many companies are looking to move business out of the country. In his first public appearance since Thursday’s referendum, George Osborne stressed that Britain’s economy is in a far better position than it was at the start of the 2008 financial crisis. “It will not be plain sailing in the days ahead,” he said. “But let me be clear. You should not underestimate our resolve. We were prepared for the unexpected.” The leaders of Germany, Italy and France will be huddling in Berlin to discuss the vote, trying to hone a common message that negotiations need to get underway quickly on the exit so as not to continue the uncertainty. Questions remain about exactly how the exit would happen. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she understands Britain may need “a certain amount of time to analyze things” before invoking Article 50 of the EU treaty, which will trigger the process for leaving.

NIE Gazette Summer Experience to help area students keep sharp By ELLEN MATIS
ematis@indianagazette.net
Area students in grades kindergarten through 12 are invited once again this year to participate in The Indiana Gazette’s Summer Learning Experience. A program that’s been around for nearly 30 years, the NIE Summer Experience gives students the opportunity to continue learning throughout the summer break. This year, the program features activities that highlight both Indiana Borough’s bicentennial celebration
and the presidential election. “The theme is ‘Celebrate History,’ said Hastie Kinter, coordinator of the Gazette’s NIE program. “We’re going to tie into Indiana’s bicentennial and also have activities about the election.” Activities will focus more on what’s unique about Indiana County in general rather than Indiana Borough itself, encouraging participation from
each school district in the area. The newspaper, in general, gives its younger readers the chance to learn about the upcoming presidential election — and some of this year’s activities will reinforce that. “We all need to be good citizens, and the newspaper provides (kids) an opportunity to learn about the candidates so that when they become voters, they are informed voters,” Kinter said. In order to earn a 2016 Summer Experience T-shirt, students will need to complete five out of nine activities to Continued on Page 12
Minister David Cameron has said he will resign and his successor, to be chosen by the fall, should be the one to navigate that process. Merkel wouldn’t comment on whether it’s acceptable for London to wait until October, but said that a “long-term suspension” of the question wouldn’t be in either side’s economic interest. In the first direct reflection of the uncertainty hitting business confidence, a leading business group said 20 percent of its members plan to move some of their operations outside of the U.K. The Institute of Directors said today that a survey of its 1,000 members showed that three out of four believe that Britain’s exit from the EU, known as Brexit, will be bad for business. The pound hit a new 31year record low, dropping another 3.5 percent to $1.3199. Stock markets also declined across Europe. Bank shares were particularly hard hit, as they are considered a mirror on the larger economy. Shares in Royal Bank of Scotland, once the world’s largest bank, fell some 20 percent. Osborne pledged not to impose a new austerity budget — even though he said during the campaign that one would be necessary if voters chose to Continued on Page 12
Commander: Fallujah fully liberated from IS By SINAN SALAHEDDIN and SUSANNAH GEORGE Associated Press
BAGHDAD — Five weeks after a military operation began, a senior Iraqi commander declared Sunday that the city of Fallujah was “fully liberated” from the Islamic State group, giving a major boost to the country’s security and political leadership in its fight against the extremists. Recapturing Fallujah, the first city to fall to the Islamic State group more than two years ago, means that authorities can now set their sights on militantheld Mosul, Iraq’s second-
largest city. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, visiting central Fallujah with the celebrating troops, vowed that the Iraqi flag would next be raised above Mosul. But that campaign has been progressing in fits and starts, revealing the deep divisions among the different groups that make up the security forces. Iraqi troops entered Fallujah’s northwestern neighborhood of al-Julan, the last part of the city under IS control, said Lt. Gen. Abdul-Wahab alSaadi, head of the counterterrorism forces in the operation. The operation, which
began May 22, “is done, and the city is fully liberated,” al-Saadi told The Associated Press. Al-Abadi, dressed in the black fatigues of the counterterrorism forces and carrying an Iraqi flag, visited Fallujah’s central hospital Sunday evening and called for residents of the city 40 miles west of Baghdad to celebrate the military advance. But tens of thousands of people from Fallujah who were forced to flee their homes during the operation are still at overcrowded camps for the displaced with limited shelter in the Anbar desert.

Elusive deal could push work on state budget past deadline By MARC LEVY Associated Press
HARRISBURG — The start of Pennsylvania state government’s 2016-17 fiscal year is just four days away and key budget legislation remains under negotiation behind closed doors. Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and leaders of the Republican-controlled Legislature have reported no agreements on spending or how to pay for it, and have not unveiled a bipartisan budget package. Negotiations continued through the weekend, and lawmakers were to return to the Capitol today, virtually ensuring that a budget will not meet the fiscal-year deadline. Negotiators are tight-lipped, while rank-and-file lawmakers who must vote
on it say they are being told little by caucus leaders. A look at some key topics:
SPENDING According to lawmakers, the debate is between a Republican position of roughly $31.5 billion, a 5 percent increase, and $31.9 billion being sought by Democrats, a 6 percent bump. Wolf is seeking enough money to balance a long-term deficit projected at $1.8 billion in the 2016-2017 fiscal year by the Legislature’s Independent Fiscal Office and to increase aid to public schools for instruction and operations by $250 million, or about 4 percent. Funding for human services and public schools could be affected, depending on the spending level. The deficit is driven Continued on Page 12

HOMER CITY — Fire heavily damaged a house early Sunday in Homer City, leaving three people homeless and causing some brief anxious moments when a man was unable to get out of the house. Homer City Borough police entered the burning two-story house at 71 Oak-
land Ave. to help Nathan Barney, 31, reach safety from the smoke-filled living room. Barney’s mother and stepfather, Kathy Walker and Scott Walker, discovered smoke and fire in the house as they arrived home about 2:15 a.m., and Scott Walker tried to enter the house while Kathy Walker phoned in the emergency to Indiana County 911.

AN ICE sculpture of the word ‘Economy,’ titled ‘Main Street Meltdown’ and coinciding with the 79th anniversary of the Black Tuesday stock market crash at the beginning of the Great Depression, melted in Lower Manhattan in 2008.
Artists use melting work to make statements Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — “The American Dream� will melt away during the Republican and Democratic national conventions. Two artists from Brooklyn are installing massive ice sculptures of the words “The American Dream� in Cleveland and Philadelphia during those cities’ conventions. Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese hope their 4,000-pound sculptures prompt viewers to think about issues of racial and income inequality and the erosion of opportunity. “I think that it is such an overused idea and word and thought we should take it to the streets and watch it disappear,� Reese said. “We want to see what kind of reactions it could provoke.� The sculptors, known by their collaborative name of LigoranoReese, have created similar projects at previous conventions: A sculpture of the words “Middle Class� melted away in Tampa, Fla., and Charlotte, N.C., in 2012. “Democracy� vanished during the Democratic National Convention in Denver in 2008. But they haven’t just focused on conventions. Among other installations, the word “Economy� deteriorated in front of the State Supreme Court in New York City on Oct. 29, 2008, the anniversary of the 1929 stock market crash. On July 19, the duo will install Cleveland’s version of “The American Dream� at Transformer Station. The City Club of Cleveland will have a series of free panel discussions on the idea of the American Dream. In Philadelphia, the work will be positioned July 25 on Independence Mall near the National Constitution Center and just up the street from the Liberty Bell, which “will really add to the depth of what we’re doing,� Reese said. Poets and writers will read works on the topic, a belief that every American should have an equal chance at prosperity, success and upward social mobility by working hard. They choose ice for these works because they wanted to make the sculpture like a piece of performance art, as well as use a medium with which the public is familiar. “It is a very engaging art form. People don’t have any hesitations to approach it,� Reese said. “They’ve been to a party or social event that has ice sculptures. But to see a word like democracy disappear is challenging and moving.� They work with local ice carvers, who take the artists’ designs to create the letters. The carvers freeze a huge slab of water 40 inches high by 20 inches wide by about 10 inches thick. Each letter is carved individually and then placed on blocks they fuse to once water is poured over them. They’re lit by LED lights from below and can take anywhere from six hours to 26 hours to dissolve, Reese said. Ice sculptor Shintaro Okamoto’s studio in New York will be carving the Philadelphia piece, and he’s worked with them since their first sculpture. “I think it’s a very powerful series,� he said. In the current political climate, he said, there is a “sense of urgency that I think everyone is feeling.
Watching ice melt kind of physicalizes that.� And what will become of all that melted ice? LigoranoReese have a Kickstarter campaign, and
one portion invited participants to buy the sculpture’s “tears.� “We’re going to bottle The American Dream,� Ligorano said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An officer shot several times near Philadelphia got a call from country singer Kenny Chesney with an apology for announcing at a concert that he had died of his injuries. Chesney gave a shoutout to Officer Christopher Dorman at Saturday’s concert in south Philadelphia but mistakenly said he had died. “Before we get going with the rest of the show, last night, a Philadelphia police officer was shot seven times. In the hospital on his bed ... he passed away, but before he passed away he made a video that he wanted to come tonight so bad, and he said, ‘Kenny, please don’t forget me,’� Chesney said at
the show. Folcroft police tweeted Sunday that Chesney “just called ... to apologize and wish him the best� and said “he wants to take him to a football game and get some beers.� “It was a great conversation, just in typical Chris fashion took it in stride, was laughing about things,� Sgt. William Bair told WPVI-TV. Chesney confirmed the call on his Twitter page, saying Dorman was “doing great.� “Told him we’d watch an Eagles game and have beers one day. Here’s to a speedy recovery!� he said. WPVI-TV reported that Chesney said in a statement that during the concert he got “caught up in
the moment� and “the emotions got the best of me.� Dorman was supposed to attend the concert before he was wounded, and in a video the station aired before the concert Saturday, he said, “I’d like to thank all the police, paramedics and the doctors — and hey, Kenny, don’t forget me!� Authorities said Dorman was shot in the face, leg and groin Friday morning as he approached people suspected of smoking marijuana behind an apartment building, but he’s recovering. A man was arrested later in the day and charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault.

WASHINGTON — Republicans are sprinting to shape up Donald Trump’s presidential campaign before the party’s national convention in three weeks, even as leading members of the party carry a deep antipathy or outright opposition to his claim on the GOP nomination. His campaign chairman said Sunday there’s a hiring spree in 16 states and the campaign is working with the Republican National Committee to solidify other matters. Paul Manafort said Trump is not all that involved in the race to organize an offensive against Democrat Hillary Clinton and catch up to her massive fundraising advantage. “The good thing is we have a candidate who doesn’t need to figure out what’s going on (inside the campaign) in order to say what he wants to do,” Manafort said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “We have our campaign plans in place. We have our budgets in place.” What Manafort described as a “new phase” for the campaign — a shift from the primaries to the general election — was a forced reshuffling of an effort hobbled for weeks by infighting, Trump’s statements about a judge’s ethnicity and a massive fund raising deficit to Clinton’s cash-raising Goliath. Trump began June with $1.3 million in the bank, less campaign cash than many congressional candidates. The $3 million he collected in May donations is about one-tenth what Clinton raised. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday that Trump can’t win the presidency unless he can compete with Clinton on the financial front. “He needs to catch up, and catch up fast,” the Kentucky Republican said on ABC’s “This Week.” McConnell refused to say whether Trump is qualified to be president. And he suggested that the GOP platform would not reflect Trump’s ideas, including restrictions on Muslim immigration to the U.S. “It’s my expectation that the platform will be a traditional Republican platform, not all that different from the one we had four years ago,” McConnell replied. A few hundred delegates to the Republican National Convention are pushing to change the rules and make it possible for them to vote for someone other than Trump. The Cleveland gathering begins in three weeks. Some rebel delegates and other anti-Trump party operatives held a 40-minute conference call Sunday night that was monitored by The Associated Press in what was a combination pep talk and strategy review. A leader
of the effort, Colorado convention delegate Regina Thomson, said around 2,000 people were on the call. Besides their uphill fight to win enough delegate support to change the rules, the coalition of antiTrump groups are raising money to hire parliamentarians and lawyers to attend the convention, run TV ads and protect recalcitrant supporters they say face threats of retaliation. One participant in Sunday’s call was James Lamb, a fundraiser for the presidential campaign of Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Lamb said that he’d been with Rubio Sunday, and while the two men didn’t discuss the anti-Trump efforts, “Marco does have some concerns about the way that we’re going” in the presidential race. Another speaker, former Sen. Gordon Humphrey, R-N.H., supported the presidential effort of Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Humphrey called Trump “just about the worst candidate you could think of, for the country first and for the party second.” The Trump campaign and many top GOP officials are working to defeat the anti-Trump forces, including lobbying delegates and making sure that establishment party supporters dominate the convention’s crucial rules committee. Ed Brookover, Trump campaign liaison to the GOP, said Sunday the defiant delegates’ chances of winning are “almost zero.” He said so far, “approaching 75 percent” of the rules committee’s 112 members oppose changing the rules — nearly enough to prevent a convention vote on the rebels’ proposal to let delegates support any candidate they want. The Trump campaign and the RNC are still laboring to set up staff in what Manafort said were 16 states in which the campaign aims to compete heavily. He said the campaign will announce more about staffing this week, an effort to reassure people that Trump’s unorthodox campaign is viable. On Sunday, Manafort sought to calm the angst, describing a partnership between Trump’s campaign operation and the Republican National Committee that goes beyond the RNC’s traditional role of raising money for the GOP nominee. He said the transition to the general election is complete — but the details have not necessarily been made public. “We are fully now integrated with the Republican National Committee,” Manafort said. He said this week the campaign will announce “people who are taking over in major positions in our national campaign, as well as in our state campaigns.”

More storms on tap for flood-ravaged West Virginia By JOHN RABY and DAVE MORRISON Associated Press
ANSTED, W.Va. — As West Virginians continued surveying damage in a state so devastated by floods that one said her community “smelled like death,” residents braced for the prospect of more rain. The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for at least 25 West Virginia counties today. Heavy rains were possible in many areas already ravaged by last week’s floods that have killed 24 people statewide. The forecast also includes hardest-hit Greenbrier County, where 16 people have died and floodwaters have yet to recede. Dozens of residents of flooded-out Rainelle remained Sunday at a shelter more than 25 miles away at the Ansted Baptist Church, where singing from inside mixed with the bustle of activity outside. The church’s gymnasium has been converted to a shelter. The church also is a drop-off point for donated goods as well as a makeshift kennel for dog owners. For now, it’s home for Jerry Reynolds, his wife, Janice, and his brother, Marcus Reynolds. Janice Reynolds said she drove back to Rainelle on Saturday to survey the damage. She said her home

TIM FITZWATER looked at the damage to his automobile salvage yard Sunday in Rupert, W.Va. was destroyed, a vehicle was lost in the floodwaters and the community “smelled like death.” Jerry Reynolds says the flood was “the worst thing I’ve ever seen.” But as he sat in his car at the shelter, he declared that “we’re survivors. We’ll make it.” Marcus Reynolds even found a bit of humor amid the sorrow. “While we’re at it, would you be interested in any oceanfront property?” he said. “I understand there’s some available.” Bill Kious, of Rainelle, was asked how those at the shelter, many of them on modest incomes, were able to laugh. “Frankly, because we’ve lived a rough lifestyle,”
Kious said. “It’s a nature to us that we can’t get rid of.” Rick Lewis of the Nuttall Fire Department said 129 people were staying Sunday at the church gymnasium. Many more Rainelle residents were sent to other shelters, he said. Among those taking advantage of the shelter’s kennel was T.J. Parker, of Rainelle, and his pet, Titan. Parker said he and Titan had to swim four blocks to safety. Along the way, he stopped to rescue an elderly man calling for help and brought him through floodwaters to a fire department. Parker said he had to go underwater and hold his breath to support the man, then come up for air. “I realize that sounds
crazy, but you have to do what you have to do at that time,” Parker said. Volunteer Randy Halsey said the donated items at the church were heading specifically to Rainelle. He said it was difficult to estimate how many items had been donated because “as soon as it comes in, it’s going right back out.” Authorities have yet to start sizing up the flood damage in West Virginia. But it is drawing comparisons to November 1985 floods that remain the state’s most expensive natural disaster with more than $570 million in damage. That year, the remnants of Hurricane Juan had brought rivers to near bankful when a low-pressure system stalled over the Mid-Atlantic region and produced as much as 10 inches of rain. Forty-seven people died in West Virginia, more than half of them in Pendleton and Grant counties. The Potomac River at Paw Paw crested 29 feet above flood stage. More than 3,500 homes, 180 businesses and 43 bridges statewide were destroyed. Twenty-nine counties were declared federal disaster areas. “This is the worst I’ve ever seen,” said Fayette County Sheriff’s Sgt. Bill Mooney, who served in the National Guard during massive floods in 2000-01. “Nobody
expected 7 inches of (rain) in three hours.” Federal money will be part of the rebuilding equation. Sunday marked the first day people can apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency aid in the three worst-hit counties of Greenbrier, Kanawha and Nicholas. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s administration still believes there are people missing in Greenbrier County, chief of staff Chris Stadelman said. Flooding at The Greenbrier resort prompted the PGA Tour to cancel a tournament there next week.
President Barack Obama’s signature Saturday on the federal disaster declaration lets residents in the three counties get aid for temporary housing and home repairs, receive low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and qualify for other assistance for individuals and business owners. Federal money to help the state and local governments is also available on a cost-sharing basis. FEMA officials were in the state to begin assessing the damage to infrastructure, homes and other property.

Blood on Obama’s hands ON THE GUATEMALAN-MEXICAN BORDER — Cristóbal, a 16-year-old Honduran refugee fleeing a drug gang that wants to kill him, has never heard of anyone named Barack Obama. Neither can he name the Mexican president, Enrique Peña Nieto. But Cristóbal, along with many others, could end up being murdered because of these two presidents he is unaware of. Obama and Peña Nieto have cooperated for two years to intercept desperate Central American refugees in southern Mexico, long before they can reach the U.S. border. These refugees are then typically deported to their home countries — which can be a death sentence. “If I’m sent back, they will kill me,” says Cristóbal, who is staying temporarily at a shelter for unaccompanied migrant kids in Mexico. He says he was forced to work for the gang as a cocaine courier beginning at age 14 — a gun was held to his head, and he was told he would be shot if he declined. He finally quit and fled after he witnessed gang members murder two of his friends. Now the gang is looking for him, he says, and it already sent a hit team to his home. Yet he may well be sent back under a policy backed by Obama and Peña Nieto. I admire much about the Obama administration, including its fine words about refugees, but this policy is rank with deadly hypocrisy. In effect, we have pressured and bribed Mexico to do our dirty work, detaining and deporting people fleeing gangs in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. This solved a political crisis Obama faced with refugees in 2014, but it betrays some of the world’s most vulnerable people. The American-Mexican collusion began in 2014 after a surge of Central Americans crossed into the U.S., including 50,000 unaccompanied chilNicholas Kristof dren. Obama spoke with Peña Nieto writes a column “to develop concrete proposals” to address the flow. This turned out to for The New York be a plan to intercept Central AmeriTimes. cans near Mexico’s southern border and send them home. Washington committed $86 million to support the program. Although Obama portrayed his action as an effort to address a humanitarian crisis, he made the crisis worse. The old routes minors took across Mexico were perilous, but the new ones adopted to avoid checkpoints are even more dangerous. The victims of this policy, deported in some cases to their deaths, are refugees like Carlos, a 13-year-old with a scar on his forehead from the time a gang member threw him to the ground in the course of executing his uncle. I met Carlos in Mexico after he had fled — on his own — from Honduras to save his life. “In my hometown, I was asked to join a gang,” Carlos told me. “They wanted me to be a lookout. They said if I didn’t, they would kill me and my brother.” His brother is just 6 years old. Two of Carlos’ classmates, both 14, were also asked to join the gang but refused. Their corpses were found with the number 13 carved in their chests, a reference to the gang’s name. Another classmate, Alan, 13, was invited to join the gang and accepted. Carlos said Alan’s first assignment was to murder three men. Here on the Mexican-Guatemalan border I’ve heard many stories like Carlos’ and Cristóbal’s. The details are typically impossible to confirm, but I approached the youths rather than the other way around, and Carlos was initially reluctant to share the story; at one point he cried when he spoke of the murder threat against his brother. It’s unconscionable to put refugees like Carlos and Cristóbal back into mortal peril, yet that’s what is happening. In the last five years, Mexico and the U.S. have deported 800,000 people to Central America, including 40,000 children, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Last year, Mexico deported more than five times as many unaccompanied children as it had five years earlier, and the Obama administration heralds this as a success. “It’s been a good thing, because it’s discouraging people from making a very dangerous trip,” said a senior State Department official who would speak only anonymously. It’s true that the old system, of refugees undertaking a dangerous journey across Mexico, was awful. But we took a deplorable situation and made it more appalling. So what should the U.S. do? Most important, it must work at the highest levels with Honduras and El Salvador to address the chaos in those countries, particularly because the U.S. bears some responsibility for the problems: The Central American street gangs were born in the United States and traveled with deportees to countries like El Salvador. Instead, as with Syria, Obama has been disengaged. The U.S. could also do more to encourage Mexico to screen refugees rigorously and provide asylum to those who deserve it; instead, according to Human Rights Watch, less than 1 percent of Central American children in Mexico receive refugee status or formal protection. I asked Salva Lacruz, coordinator of a human rights center in Tapachula, about Obama’s eloquent speeches on refugees and immigration. “It’s just words,” he scoffed. “A lot of hypocrisy.” Carlos has no doubt what will happen if Mexico, encouraged by the U.S., returns him to Honduras: “They will kill me for sure.” Contact Kristof at Facebook.com/Kristof, Twitter.com/ NickKristof or by mail at The New York Times, 620 Eighth Ave., New York, NY 10018.

Stopping domestic terrorism
ince the attack earlier this month that killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., Americans have been debating how to best respond to so-called lone wolf attacks — those carried out by one or two self-radicalized people who’ve had no official contact with terror networks — that have become an increasing problem. (Other examples: the San Bernardino, Calif., shooting and the failed attempt to attack a draw Muhammad contest in Texas.) Is more monitoring and restriction of Muslims necessary, or is it time to crack down on guns? Or are other methods required? Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the Red-Blue America columnists, debate the issue.
JOEL MATHIS Unless we want to try to make the pre-crime determinations of Tom Cruise’s “Minority Report” come true, there may not be much more authorities can do to prevent lone wolf attacks. Consider this: The Orlando gunman was on the radar of federal authorities long before he committed the attack. Officials investigated, found no definitive connection to terrorism and closed the case. Could they have done more? Maybe, but maybe not. Unfortunately, it’s sometimes the case that you can’t know a homicidal terrorist is a homicidal terrorist until the moment he commits his act. Which means we’re likely to see these attacks now and again in the future, no matter how vigilant authorities are. There’s simply no foolproof way to stop a man — it’s usually men — bent on killing people. When authorities investigate a case, though, they often look at two factors in assessing a suspect: Did he have the motive? Did he have the means? Did he have the opportunity? We need to do something about the “means.” The Orlando attacker used a high-power semi-automatic rifle with a large, easily reloadable magazine. This allowed him to kill or injure a large number of people in a relatively short time. Most people recognize such a gun for what it plainly is: An assault weapon.

in 2004 unleash a torrent of bloodshed. The murder rate kept falling, despite scaremongering from Democrats. And let’s talk about those statistics for a moment. The press lately has bandied about the talking point that assault weapons have been used in a quarter of recent mass shootings (defined by the FBI as four or more people shot or killed in a single incident). But the more accurate figure is the overall murder rate.

to stay in business, the Mountain States Legal Foundation is planning rescue. A Denver-based nonprofit, it takes on government tyrannies of all shapes and sizes, has filed a class action lawsuit against the FAA for 3,000 graduates and is making sound, strong points. It is observing, for instance, how the schools had actually done a superior job at bringing in women and minorities and that record numbers of air traffic controllers are in the process of retiring. The FAA is flunking at replacing them as it should, and those left on hand will have to work long days and weeks. The resulting exhaustion will be less than helpful in making lickety-split decisions that keep planes from crashing. Some in Congress are considering laws about the balderdash test and a failure to do more about those retiring. In a recent hearing, Rep. Frank LoBiondo, R-N.J., said the new “hiring process is not putting forward the highest quality of controller candidates,” noting the number of those getting through the FAA training was down 20 percent on an annual basis. He said “the nation and the flying public” are being “underserved” as the 3,000 qualified graduates are not allowed in the door. The costs here are plenty — not least the economy if plane takeoffs and landings become more limited.

Train hits van in Colorado, killing 5 LAS ANIMAS COUNTY, Colo. (AP) — Authorities are investigating after an Amtrak train collided with a van, killing five people, including three children, in Colorado on Sunday morning. The Colorado State Patrol released a statement saying a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country failed to yield right of way to the train and was struck at 9:45 a.m. just outside Trinidad. The van’s driver and three of the six passengers died at the scene. A fifth passenger was taken to a hospital and declared dead. The TV station Denver7 reported that a Colorado State Trooper said a girl in the van was flown to Children’s Hospital in Aurora, Colo., with serious injuries. Authorities will release the names of the van’s occupants once relatives are notified. An Amtrak spokeswoman told the station that no one on the train was injured.
Crews making inroads against fire LAKE ISABELLA, Calif. (AP) — Fire crews are making inroads against a raging wildfire in central California that has claimed two lives and destroyed 200 homes. Officials said about 2,000 firefighters were battling the blaze, which tore through many homes belonging to retirees on fixed incomes. Federal fire officials said Sunday evening that containment on the 68square-mile blaze increased from 10 percent to 40 percent. The death toll stood at two, but officials warned that it might rise. Cadaver dogs were being brought in Sunday to search for remains.
Police: Mother shot after killing daughters FULSHEAR, Texas (AP) — Police say a Houstonarea woman fatally shot her two daughters before officers shot and killed her. The incident happened about 5 p.m. Friday in front of a home just outside the Houston suburb of Fulshear. The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office identified the mother as Christy Sheats, 42, and her daughters as Taylor Sheats, 22, and Madison Sheats, 17. Sheriff Troy Nehls said the shooting apparently climaxed a family argument, but the reason for the argument remains unclear. Nehls said the two younger women had already been shot when a Fulshear police officer arrived and saw the mother with a gun in her hand, apparently preparing to shoot one of her daughters again. The officer shot and killed the woman. No identities have been released.
Ex-Auschwitz guard appeals conviction BERLIN (AP) — A German court says a 94-yearold former SS sergeant who served as an Auschwitz guard is appealing his conviction on 170,000 counts of accessory to murder. The Detmold state court said in a statement today that Reinhold Hanning’s attorneys had both filed appeals of the June 17 verdict, as had lawyers representing nine Auschwitz survivors or their families as co-plaintiffs at the trial. Further details were not immediately announced. Hanning was found guilty of helping the death camp function in his service as a guard there from 1942 to 1944 and sentenced to five years in prison. He’ll remain free, however, until the appeals process is complete.

Ten hurt in melee at California Capitol By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — A white nationalist group’s rally outside the California state Capitol building turned violent as fighting broke out with a larger group of counter protesters, leaving 10 people injured with stab wounds, cuts and bruises. Fights erupted when about 30 members of the Traditionalist Worker Party gathering to rally around noon Sunday were met by about 400 counter-protesters, California Highway Patrol Officer George Granada said. As people tried to leave the area, smaller fights broke out, Granada said. Sacramento Fire Department spokesman Chris Harvey said nine men and one woman, ranging from 19 to 58 years old, were treated for stab wounds, cuts, scrapes and bruises. Of the injured, two were taken to the hospital with critical stab wounds, but they were expected to survive. “There was a large number of people carrying sticks and rushing to either get into the melee or see what was going on,” Harvey said. Police were investigating two assaults that happened outside the Capitol grounds, but no arrests have been made, the Sacramento Police Department said in a statement.
The Capitol was on lockdown until protesters cleared the area. Videos from the melee posted on social media showed mounted officers dispersing a group of mostly young people, some with their faces covered, while some throw stones toward a man holding a stick and being shielded by police officers in riot gear. A KCRA-TV reporter and his cameraman were caught in an altercation with protesters who shouted “no cameras” as they tried to grab their equipment and shove them away from the crowd. The victims were all present while the protest took place, said Sacramento Police spokesman Matt McPhail, but he said it was still unclear whether and how they were involved. The Traditionalist Workers Party had scheduled and received a permit to rally for two hours in front of the Capitol. Law enforcement was aware of the counter-protest effort and police deployed more than 100 officers to the Capitol, McPhail said. The Southern Poverty Law Center has described TWP as a group formed in 2015 as the political wing of the Traditionalist Youth Network, which aims to “indoctrinate high school and college students into white nationalism.” Matthew Heimbach, chairman of the Traditionalist Worker Party, told
the Los Angeles Times that his group and the Golden State Skinheads organized the Sunday rally. Heimbach said that in the clash, one of their marchers had been stabbed in an artery and six of the counter-protesters had also been stabbed. Vice chairman Matt Parrott, who was not present at the Sacramento rally, blamed “leftist radicals” for instigating the violence. A message left at a phone number for the Traditionalist Worker Party was not immediately returned to The Associated Press. A post recently uploaded to the site of the Traditionalist Youth Network said TWP members planned to march in Sacramento to protest against globalization and in defense of their right to free expression. They said they expected to be outnumbered 10-to-1 by counter-protesters. “We concluded that it was time to use this rally to make a statement about the precarious situation our race is in,” the Traditionalist Youth Network statement said. “With our folk on the brink of becoming a disarmed, disengaged and disenfranchised minority, the time to do something was yesterday!” The clash follows a confrontation in March between Ku Klux Klan members and counter-protesters in Anaheim, Calif., in which three people were stabbed.
ROME — Israel and Turkey today announced a reconciliation deal to end a bitter six-year rift between the Mideast powers. In Rome, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the deal would help bring “stability” to the turbulent Middle East. His Turkish counterpart, Binali Yildirim, made a simultaneous BENJAMIN announcement NETANYAHU in Ankara. Relations between the once-close allies imploded six years ago after an Israeli naval raid killed nine Turks, including a dual American citizen, on board BINALI an aid ship tryYILDIRIM ing to breach Israel’s blockade of the Hamascontrolled Gaza Strip. After the raid, the countries withdrew their ambassadors, largely cut security ties and have since maintained only low-level diplomatic relations. Under today’s deal, Israel and Turkey will restore full diplomatic relations, with ambassadors expected to return within several weeks. Israel will pay $20 million in compensation for the families of people harmed in the naval raid, and it will allow Turkey to deliver aid to Gaza through an Israeli port and to carry out a series of development projects in Gaza, particularly in water and electricity. Netanyahu said it is a “clear” Israeli interest to help resolve Gaza’s water and electricity woes. In return, Turkey agreed to prevent legal claims against Israel over the raid, and to prevent any military action or fundraising in Turkey, Netanyahu said, in an apparent reference to Hamas.
Fentanyl changing way officers operate By JIM SALTER Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The street version of fentanyl blamed in the deaths of thousands of Americans is also threatening police officers, forcing changes in long-standing basics of drug investigations, from confiscations to testing and undercover operations, law enforcement officials say. Overdose deaths have surged as drugs such as heroin, cocaine and counterfeit prescription pills are now commonly laced with fentanyl to increase potency, though drug investigators say it is increasingly sold by itself, too. A speck the size of a few grains of salt can potentially kill a 250-pound man, said Tommy Farmer, special agent in charge of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Fentanyl can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled if it becomes airborne. Because such a small amount can be deadly, police agencies big and small are changing the way they go about keeping officers safe. James Shroba, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s office in St. Louis, said agents are even trained in how to give themselves the anti-overdose medication Narcan in case of accidental exposure
to fentanyl because “if they actually touch it or inhale it, they could die.” “This is a whole different dynamic of how we process evidence,” Shroba said. Fentanyl, a synthetic opiate, can be legally used, typically in a patch, by those in severe pain, such as end-stage cancer patients. The street version, which is mostly made in China or Mexico, comes in various forms — tablets, patches, powder, spray. The DEA says it is 40 to 50 times more potent than heroin. Experts say its potency can vary because it is haphazardly manufactured, creating the risk of instant death. Music legend Prince died of a fentanyl overdose in April, though authorities are still investigating whether it was obtained legally or illegally. Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids were involved in 5,554 overdose deaths in 2014, a 79 percent increase over 2013, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. Statistics for 2015 and 2016 aren’t available, but narcotics officers say the problem is getting worse. The danger extends beyond the user. The potency makes it potentially deadly for first-responders. No police deaths have been blamed on fentanyl, but there have been close calls.
Atlantic County, N.J., detective Dan Kallen and colleagues were searching a home in August when they found a box full of drug paraphernalia, along with a bag of white powder. Kallen and detective Eric Price opened the bag and performed a field test to determine what it was. A small amount became airborne as Kallen closed up the bag, he said. Suddenly, both detectives became ill. “It hit us like a ton of bricks,” Kallen, 40, said. “It became very difficult to breathe. Our hearts were racing. We were nauseous, close to blacking out. “I felt like, ‘Holy crap, I’m going to die right now,’” Kallen said. Both detectives were rushed to the hospital and made full recoveries. Testing later showed the confiscated drugs were cocaine and heroin mixed with fentanyl. “We got the party platter,” Kallen said. Fighting the drug trade is inherently dangerous. In addition to the threat of violence posed by drug lords, distributors and dealers, narcotics officers face risks such as inadvertent needle pricks and exposure to deadly chemicals and fires from methamphetamine production. Fentanyl is a game-changer,
though, many leading law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. “We definitely see it as the next big danger,” Farmer said. “With fentanyl, if the officer is simply patting somebody down, or if he’s getting a little bit out to try to do a field test and it accidentally comes in contact with his skin or the wind blows it in his face, he could have a serious problem.” The DEA issued a memo this month urging police to use caution from the outset of a stop. Officers should wear protective gloves before reaching into a suspect’s pockets in order to avoid skin contact with loose fentanyl, and wear masks to protect their lungs in case it becomes airborne. The DEA discouraged field testing of drugs, saying confiscated materials should be sent straight to a lab. The drug is also affecting undercover work, which is the basis of many investigations. Lt. Jason Grellner of the Franklin County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department said undercover officers are being told to accept drugs in baggies or aluminum foil, not directly by hand. “Any number of things can occur and kill you,” said Grellner, who is also the president of the Missouri Narcotics Officers Association.
Pope: Gays, others marginalized deserve an apology By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE — Pope Francis says gays — and all the other people the church has marginalized, such as the poor and the exploited — deserve an apology. Francis was asked Sunday en route home from Armenia if he agreed with one of his top advisers, German Cardinal Reinhard Marx, who told a conference in Dublin in
the days after the deadly Orlando gay club attack that the church owes an apology to gays for having marginalized them. Francis responded with a variation of his famous POPE FRANCIS “Who am I to judge?” comment and a repetition of church teaching that gays must
not be discriminated against but treated with respect. He said some politicized behaviors of the homosexual community can be condemned for being “a bit offensive for others.” But he said: “Someone who has this condition, who has good will and is searching for God, who are we to judge?” “We must accompany them,” Francis said. “I think the church must not only apologize ... to a gay person it offended, but we must apologize to
the poor, to women who have been exploited, to children forced into labor, apologize for having blessed so many weapons” and for having failed to accompany families who faced divorces or experienced other problems. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, told reporters after Francis’ press conference that the pope wasn’t referring to a medical “condition” when he spoke of gays, but rather a lifestyle situation.

How to deal with highly offensive odors Many years ago, Nok-Out and I met completely by accident. We found each other during my desperate search for ways my readers could deal with extremely offensive odors. I’ve used NokEmail Out conquestions or tinuously tips to in my mary@every home and daycheap business skate.com or since Everyday then, and Cheapskate, have rec12340 Seal ommendBeach Blvd., ed it to Suite B-416, Seal Beach, CA readers facing se90740. rious and potential-
EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE ly expensive odor issues. DEAR MARY: I am a loyal EC reader. You recently suggested diluting Nok-Out by adding 4 parts water to 1 part Nok-Out. I always wondered if you could do that, but didn’t want to risk wasting the product by testing it and being wrong. Some of my clothes were terribly odorous, and I couldn’t get the smell out no matter how many times I washed them. I was about ready to throw them away. After reading your column, though, I diluted the NokOut as you said, soaked my clothes in the solution, wrung them out and then washed them. It worked! Nok-Out saved my clothes. The odor is completely
gone. This product is definitely worth the money. — Robyn DEAR ROBYN: That’s great news! Nok-Out is so highly concentrated that it is still highly effective when diluted to the 4-to-1 solution. There are times you can dilute it even more than that, but there are also (rare) times you really need to use it at full strength. Read on for one example... DEAR MARY: Will Nok-Out get rid of skunk odor? — Joyce DEAR JOYCE: Yes, it will — very effectively. Keep in mind that skunk spray is oily in nature, which makes it one of the most stubborn odors. If your pet is sprayed directly as opposed to receiving a peripheral light spray, it’ll take more work to get the odor out. Here’s what you should do:
Keep your pet outdoors if possible. You don’t want to bring that odor indoors. Then, put on rubber gloves so you odor doesn’t get on you! Check your pet’s eyes for redness. If they are red, your pet may have been sprayed directly in the face. If this is the case, call the vet. Do not spray Nok-Out in your pet’s eyes. Nok-Out will not cause permanent harm if it gets in the eyes (Nok-Out is nontoxic), but it will sting. Spray full-strength NokOut directly on your pet and begin massaging it into the fur. Remember that Nok-Out is an oxidizer and must come in direct contact with the smelly stuff to neutralize it. You must massage it deep into the area where the skunk sprayed. Make sure to get the animal’s face thoroughly, as that was likely the
part of its body closest to the skunk. It may be useful to spray Nok-Out onto a rag and rub the rag around the mouth and eyes. Let your pet’s fur dry (let it air dry if you can, to give the Nok-Out time to work). Skunk spray is so potent and powerful that you may have to apply Nok-Out multiple times to completely remove the smell. So don’t panic if it the smell isn’t completely gone the first time around. After the Nok-Out has had time to work, shampoo your pet and then give it a good rinse with a weak solution of Nok-Out (1 cup of Nok-Out to an entire tub of water). Let your pet’s fur dry (again, air drying is preferred), and then repeat. If any smell lingers, you missed a spot. Repeat these steps as necessary.

Politician who criticized church goes to mosque HARRISBURG (AP) — A Pennsylvania politician who apologized for criticizing a church that posted a message wishing Muslims a “blessed Ramadan” attended a worship service and dined at a Harrisburg mosque. School board member Matthew Jansen, invited to attend the Hadee Mosque on Friday, told members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community that his remarks earlier were part of a “kneejerk reaction.” Jansen is a member of the Spring Grove Area School District, based in York County. “I don’t mean to minimize the gravity of what I said, but essentially it’s just that, being feisty and trying to start a conversation and an argument, that’s just who I am,” said Jansen, an elected delegate to the Republican National Convention who supports Donald Trump. Jansen called to complain earlier this month after St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, in Dallastown, posted a message on its sign “Wishing a blessed Ramadan to our Muslim neighbors.” The Rev. Christopher Rodkey said the caller termed the sign “despicable” and referred to Islam as a “godless” and “pagan” religion. Jansen also posted a photo of the sign on social media with the church’s phone number, but later apologized for what he called “venting.” At the mosque, Jansen and members listened to a service by Hassan Ahmed,
who said the violence of some Muslims is not condoned by the faith. Jansen later told the crowd that he hadn’t previously known anything about the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, which has been in the United States for nearly 100 years, adding that he believed learning about the community would take away misconceptions about Muslims. He later sat down with members of the mosque for the meal Muslims partake in after sunset during Ramadan. Jansen said he accepted the mosque’s invitation earlier in the week because “whenever somebody graciously invites you to their hospitality, I think it’s rude not to accept it.” “I thought it was informative and enlightening,” he said. “This sect that is inside Islam is peaceful. ... This is a group of people that has become an integral part of society.” Ahmed said Jansen’s appearance was productive, and after hearing Jansen’s explanation of his call to the pastor, he believed Jansen’s intentions were good. “(His appearance) shows that he is openminded,” Ahmed said. Akram Khalid, a member of the mosque from Chambersburg, said he was happy Jansen came, adding that he wasn’t upset about the earlier remarks. “The problem is not to get upset, the problem is education,” he said.

Panama Canal opens locks despite shipping woes By JUAN ZAMORANO and KATHIA MARTINEZ Associated Press
PANAMA CITY — Fireworks exploded as a huge container ship made the inaugural passage through the newly expanded Panama Canal on Sunday, formally launching the Central American nation’s multibillion-dollar bet on a bright economic future despite tough times for global shipping. The Chinese-owned Cosco Shipping Panama went through the Atlantic locks at Agua Clara in the early morning, sailed the 50-mile passage to the Cocoli locks near the capital and passed into the Pacific in the evening, stewarded by tugboats and cheered by dignitaries and exuberant crowds of thousands. The $5.25 billion project went online nearly two years late after construction delays, labor strife and apparent cost overruns, but officials were still bullish and in a celebratory mood as they declared the expanded canal open for business. “This is an achievement that all of us Panamanians should be proud of,� President Juan Carlos Varela said at the inaugural ceremony on the outskirts of Panama City. “Today marks a historic moment for Panama, for our hemisphere and the world.� “This new transit route is the tip of the iceberg in making Panama once again the logistics center of the
DARIO LOPEZ-MILLS/Associated Press
THE COSCO Shipping Panama cargo ship headed toward the new Cocoli locks Sunday, part of the Panama Canal expansion project. Americas,� canal administrator Jorge Luis Quijano said. “And it represents a significant opportunity for the countries of the region to improve their infrastructure, increase their exports.� Crowds that began gathering before dawn lined both sides of the canal waving flags, partying to salsa music and watching videos on giant screens. Authorities said about 30,000 people and eight foreign heads of state were attending. “It’s a one-time experience, a great achievement,� said Felicia Penuela, a homemaker from Colon province. “Panama is showing the world that even though it is a small country it can do great things.� The Cosco Shipping Panama is a 158-foot-wide, 984-foot-long behemoth that is one of the modern New Panamax class of
mega-vessels that are seen as the future of global shipping and will now be able to use the canal. It carried some 9,000 cargo containers during the inaugural voyage and now heads to South Korea. The waterway’s capacity doubles with the new locks, and canal authorities are hoping to better compete with the Suez Canal in Egypt and tap
new markets such as natural gas shipments between the United States and Asia. “The Panama Canal, with this expansion, is an important player not only for regional maritime commerce but worldwide,� said Oscar Bazan, the Panama Canal Authority’s executive vice president for planning and commercial development. “The canal is a winning bet.� Authorities said Sunday that 85 percent of the 166 reserved crossings scheduled for the next three months are for container ships. Container cargo accounts for nearly 50 percent of the canal’s overall income. Panamanians at the ceremony expressed hope that the expansion will help the economy in a country where about 25 percent of the people live in poverty, something that Varela echoed in his remarks. “I think the inauguration of the locks is excellent for the current generations and those to come,� said Moises Gonzalez, a 40-year-old
Funeral Service • Cremation Pre-Planning Consultants Monuments • Aftercare
mechanic who worked on the construction of the locks for six years. “Opportunities for us. We have to find a way for it to reach the people.� However, the party comes amid a lull in global shipping due to the drop in oil prices, an economic slowdown in China, which is the canal’s second-largest customer, and other factors that have hit the waterway’s traffic and income. While authorities anticipate increasing commerce between Asia and ports on the U.S. East Coast, doubts remain that not all those ports are ready to handle the huge New Panamexclass cargo ships. Net cargo volume through the canal
from the U.S. East Coast toward Asia fell 10.2 percent in 2015, according to official statistics. Meanwhile, the Suez recently lowered tariffs by up to 65 percent on large container carriers in an attempt to keep its traffic. “It’s important to remember that the canal does not create demand. The canal opens the route. Supply and demand on a world level is what will decide whether the Panama Canal will really bring more volume or not,� said Antonio Dominguez, a general manager for global shipping leader Maersk Line, which moves about 14.2 percent of world commerce.

DEAR ABBY
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by Pauline Phillips.

Keep dogs on leashes to avoid fights, attacks DEAR ABBY: Please remind your readers that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to keep their dogs on a leash for their petsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; protection as well as the protection of those around them. In my community, leash laws are rarely enforced, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common to see dogs running loose in city parks. The result is an increase in dogfights and unwelcome contact with people. Coyote attacks are also common here in the West, and small dogs are often the victims. If other dog owners kept their dogs leashed, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about them bounding up to mine and the ensuing dogfight that follows when my dogs interpret that behavior as a threat. Remember, just because you think your dog is friendly, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean
all the other dogs are. If people would just keep their dogs leashed, it would avert a myriad of problems for the dogs and their owners. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; MARGE IN PHOENIX DEAR MARGE: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad you wrote. Unless dog owners are in an area where it is designated their animals can run loose â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as an off-leash dog park â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their pets should be leashed for their own safety as well as that of others. Off-leash dog parks (and beaches) provide a place for pets to exercise and socialize while also encouraging compliance with leash and â&#x20AC;&#x153;scoopâ&#x20AC;? laws. Pet owners must remember that coyotes are intelligent and highly adaptable. While they mostly do their hunting at night, they have also been
known to â&#x20AC;&#x153;grab a snackâ&#x20AC;? during the day if they happen to be hungry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the dismay of owners of small pets. And when I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;grab,â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being literal. It has happened in an instant in front of the owner. DEAR ABBY: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m moving in a few weeks and have asked my girlfriend of two years to move in with me. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considering it, but I suspect sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unsure about it because I am pretty messy at times â&#x20AC;&#x201D; underwear tossed on the floor, plates piling up in the kitchen every other day, etc. I know if I could get my act together she would happily move in, which is something I really want. Can you please give me some tips on becoming better at cleaning? I would hate for her to move in and feel like my maid, or worse, not move in at all.
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; READY TO COHABIT DEAR READY: Your problem may be less that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re messy than that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a procrastinator. These are some basics: Buy a large wicker basket and keep it in a corner of your bedroom or closet. When the underwear and socks come off, toss them into the basket instead of on the floor. When you remove your pants and shirt, instead of throwing them over a chair, hang them up. After youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finished eating, either put your plate, silverware, etc., into the dishwasher, or hand-wash them immediately and put them where they belong. Try it for a week, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be amazed at how tidy your place will be.
TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press
In 1963, President John F. Kennedy spent the first full day of a visit to Ireland, the land of his ancestors, stopping by the County Wexford home of his great-grandfather, Patrick Kennedy, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d emigrated to America in 1848. In 1974, President Richard Nixon opened an official visit to the Soviet Union. In 1986, the International Court of Justice at The Hague ruled the United States had broken international law and violated the sovereignty of Nicaragua by aiding the contras. (The U.S. had already said it would not consider itself bound by the World Court decision.) In 1990, NASA announced that a flaw in the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope was preventing the instrument from achieving optimum focus. (The problem was traced to a mirror that had not been ground to exact specifications; corrective optics were later installed to fix the problem.) In 1991, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first black jurist to sit on the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest court, announced his retirement. (His departure led to the contentious nomination of Clarence Thomas to succeed him.) Ten years ago: A constitutional amendment to ban

On this date: In 1787, English historian Edward Gibbon completed work on his six-volume work, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.â&#x20AC;? In 1844, Mormon leader Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum, were killed by a mob in Carthage, Ill. In 1864, Confederate forces repelled a frontal assault by Union troops in the Civil War Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia. In 1905, the Industrial Workers of the World was founded in Chicago. In 1922, the first Newbery Medal, recognizing excellence in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literature, was awarded to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Story of Mankindâ&#x20AC;? by Hendrik Willem van Loon. In 1944, during World War II, American forces liberated the French port of Cherbourg from the Germans. In 1957, more than 500 people were killed when Hurricane Audrey slammed through coastal Louisiana and Texas.
desecration of the American flag died in a Senate cliffhanger, falling one vote short of the 67 needed to send it to states for ratification. Surgeon General Richard Carmona issued a report saying breathing any amount of someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tobacco smoke harmed nonsmokers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Railroad Killerâ&#x20AC;? Angel Maturino Resendiz, linked to 15 murders, was executed in Texas for the slaying of physician Claudia Benton in 1998. Five years ago: Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was convicted by a federal jury in Chicago of a wide range of corruption charges, including the allegation that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tried to sell or trade President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Senate seat. (Blagojevich was later sentenced to 14 years in prison.) International judges ordered the arrest of Libyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moammar Gadhafi for murdering civilians.

Commander: Fallujah fully liberated from IS Continued from Page 1 coalition said it was still conducting airstrikes in the area, and aid groups warned it was too early to say when residents could return to their homes in the city, citing the presence of makeshift bombs left behind by the militants. The Fallujah operation was carried out by Iraq’s elite counterterrorism troops, Iraqi federal police, Anbar provincial police and an umbrella group of government-sanctioned militia fighters — mostly Shiites — who are known as the Popular Mobilization Forces. Fallujah, a predominantly Sunni city, was a stronghold of insurgents following the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. More than 100 American soldiers died and hundreds more were wounded in intense, house-by-house fighting there in 2004. Many residents of the city welcomed the Islamic State group when it overran the city in 2014, complicating the fight by government troops to retake it. The IS militants who had held out for more than a week on the northern and western edges of Fallujah largely collapsed early Sunday under a barrage from coalition warplanes, including a single airstrike that killed 47 fighters in the Jolan neighborhood, said Brig. Haider al-Obeidi of Iraq’s special forces. “From the center of alJulan neighborhood, we congratulate the Iraqi people and the commander in chief ... and declare that the Fallujah fight is over,” al-Saadi told Iraqi state TV, flanked by troops. Some of the soldiers shot their weapons into the air, sang and waved Iraqi flags. “The coalition continues to provide support through strikes, intelligence, and advice and as-
sistance to the Iraqi Security Forces operating in Fallujah and will continue to do so through deliberate clearing operations,” said U.S. Army Col. Christopher Garver, the spokesman for the coalition. Al-Abadi initially declared victory in Fallujah over a week ago, after Iraqi forces advanced into the city center and took control of a government complex. He pledged that remaining pockets of IS fighters would be cleared out within hours, but fierce clashes on the city’s northern and western edges persisted for days. Iraq’s defense minister tweeted that 90 percent of the city is “safe and inhabitable,” but aid groups are advising the government to exercise more caution. The U.N. refugee agency said more than 85,000 people have fled Fallujah and the surrounding area since the offensive began. The UNHCR and others have warned of dire conditions in the camps, where temperatures are well over 104 degrees Fahrenheit and shelter is limited. Officials have called for more funds to meet mounting needs. “It is still too early to speak of (civilians returning to Fallujah),” said Karl Schembri of the Norwegian Refugee Council, an international humanitarian organization that does extensive work in Anbar province. UNHCR’s representative in Iraq, Bruno Geddo, also said that families are expected to remain in camps “for some time as (Fallujah) is reported to be littered with IEDs” — makeshift bombs and booby traps. Schembri said clearing away the bombs could take anywhere from days to months. “We need a thorough de-
mining of civilian areas and safety assessments before civilians are given the option to go back,” he said. “The situation in the camps is extremely dire, but we are also not in a position to ensure that people will get supplies and services inside Fallujah either.” When civilians initially returned to Ramadi after it was declared fully liberated from the militants in February, about 100 people were killed by boobytrapped explosives. The time-consuming de-mining process there is still continuing. Besides Mosul, IS extremists still control significant areas in northern and western Iraq. The group, which swept across Syria and Iraq in the summer of 2014, declared an Islamic caliphate on that territory. At the height of its power, it was estimated to hold nearly a third of each country. The campaign for Mosul, which lies some 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, has been bogged down by logistics problems as Iraq’s political leadership jockeys over the planning of the operation. Those divisions in the military at times stalled the Fallujah offensive. A similar scenario is expected to play out in the Mosul campaign, because the various groups that make up Iraq’s security forces — including Kurdish forces known as the peshmerga — have all vowed to participate in the complex operation. More than 3.3 million Iraqis have fled their homes since the IS advance, according to U.N. figures. More than 40 percent are from Anbar province, where Fallujah is located.

Homer City family safe after fire Continued from Page 1 cers found Scott Walker at the curb, almost overcome by the smoke, and that officers found Barney crawling on his hands and knees on the living room floor. Barney appeared to be confused and was combative with officers as they pulled him to the front porch and to the sidewalk. Citizens’ Ambulance Service paramedics treated the residents at the scene but none were hospitalized. Assistant Chief Joe Iezzi Sr., of the Homer City volunteer fire department, said no one else was injured. “We know the fire started in the rear of the structure,” Iezzi said. “The damage is going to be se-
vere — very heavy inside, especially in the back.” The fire reached the outside of the house and burned or melted most of the siding on the rear of the structure. About an hour after the firefighters first responded, smoke came out the edges of the roof and firefighters occasionally had to hose down some flames that broke out along the roof line. Iezzi said the Indiana, Coral-Graceton, Black Lick and Blairsville fire departments helped fight the flames and the Brush Valley fire department was on standby in the Homer City fire station. The Indiana County 911 Center also called out the Indiana County rapid-in-
tervention team on the initial alarm, and also placed the Coal Run/McIntyre and Derry fire departments on standby. The fire was never in danger of spreading. The nearest houses stood across Bates Street on one side and about 100 feet away on the other side. The family found shelter for the night with Scott Walker’s relatives, who live a block away on Center Street. Friends opened an online donation center for the family at the Go Fundme website, www.go fundme.com/2bcypbrc. Representatives of the American Red Cross disaster services team also provided assistance to the family.

U.K. tries to allay fears Continued from Page 1 leave the EU. He said another budget would be the task of Cameron’s successor. Osborne also said he had been working closely with Bank of England Governor Mark Carney, fellow finance ministers and international organizations over the weekend. “We are prepared for whatever happens,” he said. In another move to cushion market reaction, Osborne stressed that only Britain can invoke Article 50. The U.K. “should only do that when there is a clear view about what new arrangement we are seeking with our European neighbors,” he said. Cameron has chaired an emergency Cabinet meeting today. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is visiting
Brussels and London to address the fallout from the vote. Political turmoil has roiled Britain since the vote as leaders of the government and opposition parties grapple with the question of how precisely the U.K. will separate from the other 27 nations in the bloc. Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn is also facing upheaval within his Labour Party after more than 20 advisers quit his inner circle over that past two days. Corbyn said he will not resign, and has appointed lawmakers loyal to him to fill the vacated posts. He insists he will run in any new leadership contest, and said he has the support of the party’s grassroots. Many Labour lawmakers accuse Corbyn of running a lukewarm campaign in support of remaining in the
EU. They also fear the leftwinger cannot win a general election, which could come well before the scheduled date of 2020, as whoever replaces Cameron may call an early election to solidify a mandate before negotiating Britain’s EU exit. The vote is also causing a political schism in the U.K. overall. Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she would “consider” whether to advise the Scottish Parliament to use its power to try to prevent Britain from leaving the EU. Some 62 percent of Scots voted to remain in the bloc. Scottish lawmakers might be able to derail Britain’s departure by withholding “legislative consent,” she said.

Amish growth extended to South America settlements By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press
HARRISBURG — The Amish branched out last year with new settlements in Bolivia, Argentina and Canada as their numbers continued to grow and a high percentage of young people opted to remain within the religious community, which eschews many modern conveniences. The sect’s total current population is about 308,000 and has grown about 18 percent over the past five years, according to an ongoing population survey by the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College. The two small South American settlements were both founded last fall after longstanding Mennonite communities in those countries reached out to North American Amish to explore affiliation, said Steven Nolt, a senior scholar at the center who helped coordinate the population survey. Those Old Colony Mennonites, culturally conser-
vative and with roots in a group that emigrated from the old Russian empire to Canada in the 1800s, left Canada in the 1920s over a dispute about teaching their children in English and landed in Mexico and other parts of Latin America, Nolt said. In recent years, their members in Bolivia and Argentina have faced financial problems and isolation, so they wrote to an Amish publisher in Canada and eventually got in touch with a New Order Amish group in Ohio that permits its members, under certain circumstances, to make airplane trips. After ministers with the Ohio Amish visited South America, they sent two families to settle there to create communities the existing Mennonites can join. North American Amish generally do not proselytize or do mission work. They also have sent teams to help with building projects. The Bolivian community, known as Colonia Naranjita, is about 75 miles southwest of Santa Cruz, while the settlement in rural
northwestern Argentina is located east of Catamarca. “This is kind of a new and different thing and illustrates (an) unusually — even among the New Order Amish — Amish approach to taking in new members,” Nolt said. He said Mennonite men in those areas have begun to grow Amish-type beards, and an Ohio Amish woman has made bonnet head coverings for the women. Nearly two-thirds of all Amish live in three U.S. states — Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana — although there are currently settlements in 31 states and three Canadian provinces. Two new settlements with a total of about 30 people were established this year in Prince Edward Island, Canada, a first for that province. The largest settlements are in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and Holmes County, Ohio, both with more than 34,000 people and more than 200 congregations, or districts, as they are known. The total Amish population was only 124,000 in 1992.
NIE to help students keep sharp Continued from Page 1 be published in the Gazette. Activities will be published every Tuesday and Saturday from July 2 to July 30. No entry consisting of fewer than five activities will be accepted. Activities will be labeled by grade level. Students are to work at their upcoming grade level, which are identified as follows: Level A, grades kindergarten through third; Level B, grades four through six; and Level C, grades seven through 12.
Registration forms can be found within the pages of the Gazette and also on the NIE Summer Experience page on The Indiana Gazette Online. “(The Summer Experience) allows students to continue learning throughout the summer so that they don’t lose what they’ve learned throughout the school year,” Kinter said. Those who complete the Summer Experience will be awarded T-shirts on Aug. 20 at 11 a.m. in the parking lot of the Gazette.
“(The program) is a great way to keep learning alive throughout the summer,” she said. It also helps to build a new generation of newspaper readers, Kinter said. “Learning to read a newspaper will be advantageous to (students) their whole lives. Some kids think there’s nothing in the newspaper that would interest them, and the Summer Experience gives them the opportunity to see the variety of information they can find within it.”
Elusive deal could push work on state budget past deadline Continued from Page 1 primarily by rising costs for pension obligations and health care. The use of one-time stopgaps has drawn five credit downgrades by the three major credit rating agencies since 2012, leaving Pennsylvania among the lowestrated states and paying higher rates to borrow money. Failure to eliminate the deficit could prompt another downgrade. For public schools, Wolf wants more aid to help close a huge funding gap between Pennsylvania’s wealthiest and poorest school districts.
TAXES There are discussions about a variety of tax increases to help fill
the gap between spending and about $30.4 billion that the governor’s office projected in tax collections, after refunds. Discussion revolves around increasing excise taxes on cigarettes by up to $1 per pack, from $1.60 per pack currently, and a reviving a gross receipts tax on natural gas that utilities sell to consumers. It was a 5 percent tax — or an estimated $55 per household — when it was eliminated starting in 2000. Other potential tax increases on banks, electronic cigarettes and other tobacco products are in the mix, as is eliminating a sales tax exemption on basic cable service. Republicans otherwise have balked at a tax increase on in-
come, sales or Marcellus shale natural-gas production.
GAMBLING The House has given preliminary approval to legislation that, in part, would make Pennsylvania just the fourth state to allow casino-style gambling online. Republicans say it would generate $270 million in the first year, mostly through initial license fees, while Democrats say they expect $200 million from it. Its prospects in the Senate are unclear. Under the bill, casinos could offer slot machine-style games and table games on their websites, and they could station slot machines in Pennsylvania’s six international airports and at
10 licensed off-track betting parlors. The casinos could also make the online games available on mobile applications for use in airports. The measure also would regulate daily fantasy sports betting.
PENSIONS The Senate has rejected Housepassed legislation designed to pare back the traditional pension benefit for future state government and public school employees. Wolf has pledged to sign the House bill, as well as a plan drafted by Senate Republicans that was defeated in the House in December. Neither plan has any effect on
the budget under discussion. But it has ramifications for the budget if Senate Republicans block a tax increase before pension legislation, their top priority, becomes law.
WINE SALES Wolf signed legislation earlier this month to allow sales of wine to-go at private-sector establishments for the first time. It also allowed more flexible rules around state-owned liquor stores, such as longer Sunday hours. Supporters say it will generate more tax revenue for the state treasury; the Independent Fiscal Office projected it at approximately $100 million extra.

Stewart ends long drought Smoke snaps 84-race skid with win at Sonoma By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
SONOMA, Calif. — For at least one weekend, Smoke was back. Tony Stewart returned to victory lane for the first time in three years in vintage fashion — refusing to let Denny Hamlin steal a win at Sonoma Raceway away from him on the final lap Sunday. Now he probably has a shot to run for a fourth NASCAR
championship in his final season before retirement. Stewart, mired in an 84-race losing streak dating to 2013, finally won to stop a slide of poor performances, injuries and personal turmoil that has tarnished the end of his career. He missed the first eight races of this season, his last as a NASCAR driver, with a back injury suffered in an off-road vehicle ac-
cident one week before the season opened. It meant Stewart would have to win a race and crack the top 30 in points to have one last shot at glory before he stepped out of the No. 14 Chevrolet for good. It was a long shot considered the way he has run the last three years, but those who know Stewart knew not to count him out.
“My guys have been through this whole disastrous roller coaster the last three or four years and never backed down. They’ve never quit on me. There’s days I’ve quit on myself,” Stewart said. “In this day of social media where everybody is a cricket ... on social media, they sit there and chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp until they are in front of you and then they don’t say a word.

Expansion draft is key in offseason plans By STEPHEN WHYNO AP Sports Writer
Brad Treliving saw the rules for the expansion draft and immediately was in an advantageous position. The Calgary Flames’ general manager needed a goaltender, and with Las Vegas set to harvest the NHL for two of them in a year, his colleagues had incentive to make a move. The Flames got Brian Elliott from the St. Louis Blues for a second-round pick. A full year before the Las Vegas expansion draft, GMs must plan for the inevitability of losing a player to a team that the league wants to be good out of the gate. Already the impact of the impending expansion draft has been felt with the Flames acquiring Elliott and
the Toronto Maple Leafs getting goalie Frederik Andersen from the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks knew they wouldn’t be able to keep Andersen and John Gibson forever, and the expansion draft expedited a move. “After starting to hear what the expansion rules could be, you just knew you weren’t going to be signing both of them,” GM Bob Murray said. “You’re going to come out looking pretty stupid if you did that.” No one wants to look stupid, and that’s the challenge over the next 12 months. Teams will only be able to protect one goalie, so the Tampa Bay Lightning will likely have to trade Ben Bishop and
the Stanley Cup-champion Pittsburgh Penguins have to decide what to do with MarcAndre Fleury before the yet-to-be-named Las Vegas team picks its first 30 players on June 20, 2017. With the unrestricted free agent market opening Friday and trade winds gusting, teams have to consider the expansion draft as part of their offseason maneuvers. “Everything will be affected by that,” Columbus Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen said. “In every decision, we’ll have to take into consideration what the rules are and how that might affect our outlook for the expansion draft and ahead of that.”
Each team will be able to protect seven forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender or eight skaters and one goaltender. Any player with a nomovement clause in his contract must be protected, and each team will lose one player. Players with bloated contracts or who are past their prime will be exposed, but teams could take a serious hit because young and cheap talent will be plentiful. That’s a danger for a team like the Chicago Blackhawks, who have won the Stanley Cup three times in seven years but are locked into long-term deals with their core players. GM Stan Bowman, who has taken Chicago from the brink of cap purgatory back to the Cup, isn’t worried about losing someone. Continued on Page 15
A few holes can really tilt the ship in a match-play format in golf. On Sunday, in the title match for the Championship Flight of the 29th annual Indiana Country Club Invitational, Dave Myers and Jonathan Previte broke a tie by winning three straight holes. The duo then used that momentum and a conservative playing style to maintain that lead and come away with a 3 and 2 victory over Sean and Ryan Sweithelm. Sunday marked the fourth time Myers has clinched the title, but it was the first time he won it playing with Previte. “They’re all special,” Myers said, “but it’s a lot of fun winning one with one of your closest friends.” Myers and Previte worked their way through the more difficult part of the bracket as the No. 4 seed. But the duo never played like a team from the middle of the pack, grabbing a 3 and 2 victory over the No. 5 seed in the first round and knocking off the No. 1 seed with a 4 and 3 victory in the semifinals. And when it came to facing the No. 3 seed in the championship, Myers and Previte still didn’t let the pressure get to them. Myers and Previte took victories on five of the 16 holes played, but none were more important than the stretch of eagle-birdie-birdie that the duo pulled off on 5 through 7. With an all-square standing coming into No. 5, Myers stuck his second shot 15 feet from the far side of the green into the rough. With the Sweithelms setting up for a birdie putt, Myers needed a miracle to turn the hole in his team’s favor. That’s exactly what he got. Continued on Page 15
U.S. coach sees Copa as positive step By BOB BAUM
AP Sports Writer
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jurgen Klinsmann thinks a fourth-place finish in the Copa America was a step in the right direction. U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati will speak to his coach and assess. After opening with a 2-0 loss to thirdranked Colombia, the No. 31 United States beat Costa Rica, Paraguay and 13th-ranked Ecuador to advance to a semifinal against No. 1 Argentina. Lionel Messi and his teammates routed the U.S. 4-0, and the Americans closed with a 1-0 loss to Colombia in Saturday’s third-place game. “It’s a tough tournament,” Gulati said. “We didn’t lose to anybody in the tournament that’s ranked outside the top five in the world, but we need to win some of those games, obviously.” The U.S. has qualified for seven straight World Cups and beat Guatemala in a key home game in March to put itself in place to advance to the final round of qualifying for the 2018 tournament. Yet, ever since last year’s surprise loss to Jamaica in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Klinsmann’s results have been questioned by some. Continued on Page 17

Indians rout Tigers’ Verlander By The Associated Press
Lonnie Chisenhall had four hits, including one of Cleveland’s four home runs off Justin Verlander in the fifth inning, and the streaking Indians won their ninth straight game Sunday by beating Detroit 9-3 to remain unbeaten in nine meetings with the Tigers this season. Juan Uribe, Tyler Naquin and Mike Napoli also went deep for the Indians. Chisenhall was 4-for-4 with a triple and three RBIs. Mike Tomlin (9-1) beat Verlander for the third time this year, allowing three runs and six hits in eight innings. Cleveland overcame three homers by former teammates, including two by Victor Martinez, to sweep Detroit for the third time this year. The Indians have outscored the Tigers 60-20 in nine games. Only once before had Verlander (7-6) allowed four homers in a start — also against the Indians in 2007. According to the Elias Sports Bureau and Fox Sports Detroit, he became the first pitcher in franchise history to give up four in one inning. ORIOLES 12, RAYS 5: Chris Davis hit his seventh career grand slam, and Baltimore completed an unprecedented sweep of Tampa Bay that extended the Rays’ losing streak to 11 games. Jonathan Schoop and Mark Trumbo also homered for the AL East leaders, whose 31-13 home record is the best in the majors. Baltimore has won five straight to climb a season-high 15 games over .500 (45-30). Davis hit an opposite-field drive to left after the Orioles used a walk and two singles to load the bases with no outs in the first inning against Drew Smyly (2-8). That sent Baltimore to its first fourgame sweep in a rivalry that began in 1998. The Orioles are 7-2 against Tampa Bay this season, 6-0 at home. Tyler Wilson (4-5) earned his first win in seven home starts this season despite allowing five runs and 10 hits over five innings. The Rays have been outscored 72-29 during their skid and yielded at least five runs in each game. The defeat completed an 0-7 swing through Cleveland and Baltimore, the third time in franchise history the team has gone winless on a road trip of at least seven games. TWINS 7, YANKEES 1: Tyler Duffey set down the first 17 New York batters and wound up pitching two-hit ball for eight innings while Minnesota backed him with six home runs. Brian Dozier, Trevor Plouffe and Max Kepler hit consecutive homers in the sixth to help the Twins end a threegame skid. Danny Santana, Eduardo Nunez and Juan Centeno also connected. Duffey (3-6) pitched perfect ball until Aaron Hicks doubled with two outs in the sixth. Duffey struck out eight, walked none and stopped a team that had won three in a row. The 25-year-old righty began the day with a 6.18 ERA, was 0-3 in his last five starts and had been hit hard in seven straight outings. The Twins have won just two of their last 12 against New York. Nathan Eovaldi (6-5) lost to Minnesota for the second time in eight days. He is winless in five starts, tagged for 10 homers and 25 runs over 26 innings during that span. Mark Teixeira homered in the Yankees eighth. ANGELS 7, ATHLETICS 6: Jefry Marte drove in Mike Trout with a game-ending sacrifice fly, and Los Angeles beat Oakland to end a six-game losing streak. Trout led off the ninth with a single against Liam Hendriks (0-1). With one out and the bases loaded, Marte’s fly to center field scored Trout easily from third. The Angels trailed 6-2 after six innings, but Trout hit a two-run homer in the seventh and Marte had an RBI sin-
gle in a two-run eighth. Huston Street (3-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win. Coco Crisp hit a grand slam for Oakland in the fourth. Marcus Semien followed with his 14th homer. RANGERS 6, RED SOX 2: The first six Texas hitters reached safely for an early lead, and Martin Perez pitched six solid innings against Boston for his sixth straight win. Prince Fielder hit a two-run homer for the Rangers, who are 11-0-1 in series since getting swept at Oakland in mid-May. Perez (7-4) was working on a shutout before Bryce Brentz hit a solo drive with two outs in the sixth for his first major league homer. Shin-Soo Choo, Ian Desmond, Nomar Mazara and Adrian Beltre opened Texas’ three-run first with four straight singles. The last two drove in a run apiece, to go along with Rougned Odor’s blooper to left against Clay Buchholz (3-8). ROYALS 6, ASTROS 1: Ian Kennedy struck out 11 over seven innings and Kansas City snapped Houston’s sevengame winning streak. After Royals starters Edinson Volquez and Chris Young were roughed up in blowout losses in the first two games of the series, Kennedy (6-6) allowed one run and three hits with one walk. Kendrys Morales hit a pair of solo homers for Kansas City, and Cheslor Cuthbert connected for a two-run shot. Lorenzo Cain had three of the Royals’ 13 hits. Doug Fister (8-4) lost for the first time since April 25. He gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings, including three homers. Evan Gattis hit a leadoff homer in the sixth for Houston. WHITE SOX 5, BLUE JAYS 2: Chris Sale pitched eight innings of two-run ball to become the first 13-game winner in the majors, leading Chicago over Toronto. Tim Anderson and J.B. Shuck homered to help the White Sox take two of three from the slumping Blue Jays, who have dropped five of seven. Chicago (38-38) returned to .500 with its fifth win in seven games. Sale (13-2) allowed five hits, struck out seven and walked two in his fourth straight victory. David Robertson pitched a perfect ninth for his 20th save in 22 chances. Troy Tulowitzki and Junior Lake homered for Toronto in the eighth. Marcus Stroman (6-4) allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. NATIONAL LEAGUE MARLINS 6, CUBS 1: Jose Fernandez delivered another gem at Marlins Park, striking out 13 and allowing one run in seven innings to help Miami beat faltering Chicago. The Marlins won three of four from the injury-depleted Cubs, who went 16 for the week but still have the best record in the majors. Fernandez (10-3) improved his career record at home to 24-1 with a 1.48 ERA, and this year the right-hander has been pretty good everywhere — he has a 2.28 ERA and 138 strikeouts. Giancarlo Stanton doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the sixth for the Marlins, who went 7-3 on their homestand. At 41-35, they’re six games above .500 for the first time since June 2012, their first season in Marlins Park. Jason Hammel (7-4) allowed two runs in six innings, and the Cubs lost his fourth start in a row even though he pitched out of several jams. Martin Prado hit a three-run double in the ninth. NATIONALS 3, BREWERS 2: Tanner Roark pitched seven shutout innings in place of injured ace Stephen Strasburg, and Washington ended a seven-game losing streak by beating Milwaukee. Jose Lobaton and Clint Robinson homered for the Nationals. Lobaton hit his first homer of the season in the seventh off reliever Jacob Barnes (0-1).
Robinson added a two-run shot in the eighth. Roark (7-5) held the Brewers to seven hits and struck out seven. Strasburg was placed on the 15-day disabled list before the game with an upper back strain. Shawn Kelley retired four batters for his third save. ROCKIES 9, DIAMONDBACKS 7: Mark Reynolds hit a two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift Colorado over Arizona. Carlos Gonzalez had a grand slam, and Trevor Story and Charlie Blackmon also went deep for the Rockies, who gained a split of the four-game series. Story was hit by a pitch leading off the ninth. Silvino Bracho (0-1) retired the next two batters before Reynolds connected for his eighth home run. It was Colorado’s first walk-off win since Sept. 26, 2015. Carlos Estevez (2-5) was the winner. Paul Goldschmidt had two hits and four RBIs for Arizona. GIANTS 8, PHILLIES 7: Conor Gillaspie hit a game-ending double with one out in the ninth inning to lift San Francisco over Philadelphia, giving manager Bruce Bochy his 800th win with the Giants. Ramiro Pena doubled off Severino Gonzalez (0-1) and scored standing up when Gillaspie lined a 1-1 pitch in the same direction. Angel Pagan had a season-high four hits and two RBIs while five others had two hits apiece for San Francisco, which has won 13 of 15. The teams combined for 28 hits, with the Phillies rallying to tie the score twice in the final three innings before Gillaspie’s game-winner. BRAVES 5, METS 2: Freddie Freeman and Adonis Garcia homered, and Bud Norris threw seven scoreless innings to send Atlanta past New York. Freeman had three hits and a walk, helping the Braves salvage a split of the four-game series. Brandon Nimmo, one of New York’s top prospects, made his major league debut and went 0-for-4 with a gameending strikeout. The outfielder was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday. Norris (3-7) allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked none. Arodys Vizcaino got one out for his 10th save. Bartolo Colon (6-4) yielded one run and six hits in seven innings. REDS 3, PADRES 0: Anthony DeSclafani pitched eight innings and singled with the bases loaded, carrying Cincinnati past San Diego in the finale of the Reds’ weekend dedicated to Pete Rose. Until Sunday, the only thing missing from the hits king gala was a win. The Reds’ top starter took care of that in front of Cincinnati’s third straight sellout crowd. DeSclafani (2-0) gave up five singles, struck out five and didn’t allow a runner to reach second base. He also hit an RBI single in the sixth off Luis Perdomo (2-3). INTERLEAGUE CARDINALS 11, MARINERS 6: Matt Carpenter and Tommy Pham each homered twice as St. Louis went deep six times against Seattle. Jedd Gyorko and Matt Holliday also homered for St. Louis. Carpenter, Holliday and Aledmys Diaz each had three hits as the Cardinals finished with 17 — including 13 for extra bases. Gyorko and Pham led off the seventh with back-to-back home runs against reliever Nick Vincent (1-7) to break a 6all tie. Holliday extended St. Louis’ lead to 9-6 with a solo shot in the eighth against Edwin Diaz. Pham and Carpenter each hit their second home runs, both solo shots, in the ninth. Kevin Siegrist (5-2) allowed one run in 1 1-3 innings to get the win. Nelson Cruz hit his 19th homer for the Mariners, and Franklin Gutierrez had a three-run shot.

ANDREW MCCUTCHEN argued with umpire Chris Conroy after being ejected in the seventh inning.
Bucs’ rookie tops Kershaw Continued from Page 13 really hurt. I tried to the get a fastball inside on Freese and obviously didn’t get it in nearly far enough.” The Pirates have won three in a row against the Dodgers after losing 13 of 15 overall and can sweep the four-game series today. Los Angeles arrived on a six-game winning streak. Mark Melancon pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save in 23 opportunities, combining with Juan Nicasio and A.J. Schugel for four scoreless innings of relief. Justin Turner drove in all three Dodgers runs and had two of their four hits. He hit a two-run homer, his 11th, off Kuhl in the third and pulled Los Angeles to 4-3 with a double in the fifth. Turner attempted to score the tying run on an errant pitch by Kuhl. However, the ball caromed back to catcher Chris Stewart and he threw to Kuhl, who tagged out Turner at home plate to end the inning. “That’s Stewart’s play,” Kuhl said. “It was unbelievable to get back there and he put the ball right on my chest.” Frazier and Stewart each had two hits for the Pirates. Mercer extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single before getting injured. Mercer left with head and right ear discomfort but said he felt “much better” after the game. He was injured when he slid into second base and got tangled with Dodgers sec-
ond baseman Chase Utley while successfully breaking up an attempted double play on Freese’s grounder to shortstop. Today, Dodgers lefthander Scott Kazmir (5-3, 4.52 ERA), who is 2-0 over his last six starts, will be making his first appearance in Pittsburgh since June 27, 2008, with Tampa Bay. Pirates left-hander Francisco Liriano (4-7, 5.17 ERA) is on a fourgame losing streak but has a 4-0 career record against the Dodgers with a 2.73 ERA in five starts. NOTES: Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen was ejected by home plate umpire Chris Conroy for arguing a called third strike to end the seventh inning. McCutchen turned around and pointed toward Conroy’s face and also slammed his bat on the ground after two low pitches were called strikes. … Pirates righthander Gerrit Cole (strained triceps) threw off a mound for the first time since leaving his June 10 start against St. Louis, but there is no timetable for his return. ... Right fielder Gregory Polanco (left leg discomfort) did not start for a third straight game. He struck out as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. … Left-hander Kyle Lobstein was optioned to Indianapolis to open a roster spot for Kuhl. Right-hander Curtis Partch, who was pitching at Indianapolis, was designated for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.

Renegades avenge loss to Punxs’y SANDLOT BASEBALL
By The Indiana Gazette Young Township avenged its only loss in its last eight games, topping first-place Punxsutawney, 2-1, in an Indiana County Senior Legion baseball game Sunday at Bertolino Field. The Renegades had won six straight games before losing to Punxsutawney, 10-0, on Thursday. They shut out Indiana Legion, 7-0, on Saturday. Punxsutawney chalked up its sixth straight win by beating Young Township last week and ran its winning streak to seven with a shutout of Armstrong on Saturday. Devin Fairman held Punxsutawney in check, surrendering only three hits and an unearned run in the third inning. He struck
out three and walked one. Fairman outdueled Lance Burkett, who scattered six hits in five innings before giving way to Brandon McGee. Young Township took a 1-0 lead in the first ining when Brady Neal singled, stole second, moved to third on Tanner Yard’s groundout and scored on Fairman’s groundout. Punxsutawney tied the game in the third when Burkett reached on an error, moved to second on a passed ball, took third on a groundout and scored on an error. Young Township’s Justin Geidal broke the tie in the bottom of the inning. Caddis Coscarelli set up the
go-ahead run by stroke a double and scored on Geidal’s single. Coscarelli and Jared McComb each had two this for Young Township. Both teams play Tuesday. Young Township (10-5) travels to Armstrong, and Punxsutawney visits Marion Center.
Apollo scored a run in the bottom of the inning and had runners on first and third with two outs when New Derry reliever Scott Dixon struck out Ben Carnahan to end the game. Dixon struck out nine, walked three and allowed one hit in 5 2-3 innings to earn the win, and Matt Kochasic fanned nine, walked one and allowed two hits in 5 1-3 innings. Downey went 3-for-4 with a double and four RBIs, and Zach Lukon finished 3-for-5 with a double. Apollo’s Ken Johnson struck out nine, walked three and allowed four hits in seven innings. New Derry (6-6) travels to Blairsville on Tuesday, and Apollo (0-12) plays host to Bovard on Thursday.
INDIANA COUNTY LEAGUE NEW DERRY 5, APOLLO 3: Lou Downey spoiled Apollo’s bid to break into the win column by cracking a three-run homer in the 11th inning to lift visiting New Derry to a win in an Indiana County League game Sunday. With two outs and following back-to-back walks, Downey belted a three-run homer to give the Tigers a 5-2 lead in the top of the 11th.

Lisicki takes opener
AUTO RACING
MARION CENTER SPEEDWAY
By The Associated Press LONDON — Former Wimbledon women’s runner-up Sabine Lisicki advanced to the second round of Wimbledon with a 6-1, 63 victory over Shelby Rogers on the opening day at the All England Club today. Lisicki, the German who lost to Marion Bartoli in the 2013 final, took exactly one hour to beat the 62ndranked American. Lisicki has fallen to No. 81 in the rankings but has a game suited to grass. Rogers has failed to get past the first round at Wimbledon in four appearances. Vicky Duval was back at Wimbledon, competing in the tournament for the first time in two years after recovering from Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The 20-year-old, who is based in Bradenton, Fla., lost in the first round to 29th-seeded Daria Kasatkina of Russia 6-0, 7-5. Simply being on court was a symbolic step forward. At the 2013 U.S. Open, when she was just 17, Duval showed her promise by stunning 2011 champion Sam Stosur in the first round. But a year later, while trying to qualify for Wimbledon, Duval was told she had cancer. She played on, making it to the main draw and then surprisingly beating a seeded player, Sorana Cirstea. After a yearlong recovery, Duval returned to playing low-level tournaments. In men’s singles, David Ferrer was an early winner. The Spaniard topped Dudi Sela of Israel, 6-2, 6-1, 6-1.
SATURDAY’S RESULTS
JAMES J. NESTOR/Gazette
AMONG THE winners in the Indiana Country Club Invitational on Sunday were, from left, Tom and Ed Kowaleski, Third Flight; John Previte and Dave Myers, Championship Flight; Bob Faye and Mike Dinatti, Fourth Flight; and Tom Johnson and Ernie Loreilli, Fifth Flight.
Myers, Previte team up for win
Continued from Page 13 Myers dropped his chip shot into the middle of the green at a slightly inclined angle with enough force to let the speed of the greens carry the ball. The ball took a perilous roll directly into the cup. “That was a big change in the match,” Sean Sweithelm said. “Where Dave was on No. 5, I didn’t think he could keep his chip shot within 5 or 15 feet of the hole. When it went in, it’s kind of a dagger, but we didn’t give up.” Myers’ chip-in gave his team a 1 up advantage and a lead they never relinquished, but the duo continued to knock in heartbreaking shots. Myers made a putt for birdie on the next two holes, including sinking a shot from 15 feet on the fringe on No. 7, to increase the lead to 3 up. The Sweithelms did their best to fight back, halving seven of the next nine holes and taking a victory with a birdie on No. 11. But the Sweithelms never got closer than 3 down after No. 7. “After that birdie on No. 7, it was a big dagger,” Sweithelm said. “Being 3 down after seven holes makes it hard to come back. We fought well, but we just weren’t able to close it out.” Previte gave his team a brief 4 up
lead with a birdie on No. 10, but making par on the remaining holes was enough to force a halved hole and keep the lead at 3 up. “When you get a lead, you just have to make sure you do your best to make them make birdies,” Myers said. “If you do that and you lose, then they beat you, you didn’t beat yourself. We were fortunate enough to make enough pars coming in to get the job done.” It was a unique matchup for the Sweithelms and Myers to face off. Myers has been the golf coach at Indiana High School since 2007 and spent time coaching Sean when he was in school. “I probably wouldn’t have wanted to play anyone else in the field other than him for that final match,” Sweithelm said. “I have the past history with him. It made it cool. There wasn’t any more pressure, we just had a great time out there.” “It’s tough to get into the real competitive nature of it when you play two kids that you really admire,” Myers said. “I’ve seen them play since they were in grade school. But you have to realize that it’s still a tournament and you have to eventually turn it on.” Each of the Sweithelms have competed in the tournament before, but
this is the first year that they played as a tandem. After blazing through the first two rounds with a 2 and 1 and a 6 and 5 victory, the duo looks poised to make more noise in the future. “I’m definitely not satisfied,” Sweithelm said. “I wanted to win. I thought we were the best team in the field. But that’s golf. If you don’t show up, you’re not going to win.” In the First Flight, the fourth-seeded duo of Justin Cameron and Sam Levy clinched the title with a 5 and 3 victory over seventh-seeded Nick Weaver and Shawn Rouche. Cameron and Levy took a 1 up victory over the No. 5 seed in the first round and claimed a dominating 7 and 6 win over the top seed en route to the championship. Brian Little and Mark Steffey grabbed first place in the Second Flight with a 3 and 2 win over Fran Villella and Fran Perry. Tom and Ed Kowaleski earned first place in the Third Flight with a 3 and 2 defeat of Jim Shea and Norm Neil. Mike Dinatti and Bob Faye won the Fourth Flight championship, beating Barry McKnight and Fred Bowser 3 and 2. Tom Johnson and Ernie Lorelli took first place in the Fifth Flight with 32½ points. Mario Luther and Ron Onderick Jr. finished second with 27 points.
Coastal Carolina, Arizona gear up for CWS By ERIC OLSON AP Sports Writer
OMAHA, Neb. — All those SEC and ACC heavyweights are long gone from the NCAA Tournament, and the last two Big 12 teams went home this weekend. The College World Series championship comes down to two teams that were not expected to even make it to Omaha, let alone the finals. Coastal Carolina and Arizona had to go through demanding regionals and super regionals on the road to make the CWS, and each had to come back from an early loss here to win three straight in bracket play and reach the bestof-three finals starting tonight. Even more impressive, the Chanticleers (53-17) have made it this far in their first CWS appearance. The Wildcats (48-22) are here in Jay Johnson’s first season as coach after
having not even made the national tournament in the three years following their 2012 national championship. They were picked ninth in the Pac-12 and ended up tied for third. “There are a lot of talented teams, possibly more talented than Jay’s team and my team, but the teams that have played the best are here,” Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore said Sunday. “There are a tremendous amount of similarities between us.” Coastal Carolina and Arizona have had no trouble adjusting to TD Ameritrade Park, with its spacious outfield and the prevailing south wind that knocks down balls that would be home runs in other stadiums. The Chanticleers lead the nation in homers, but they’ve hit just one here. They have a CWS-leading 11 doubles. The Wildcats have ridden the hit-

ting of Zach Gibbons (.474, seven RBIs), Jared Oliva (.375, six RBIs) and JJ Matijevic (.353), a defense that has committed just one error in five games and the pitching of Bobby Dalbec, Nathan Bannister and reliever Cameron Ming. Neither coach announced his starting pitcher for Game 1. Both teams have depleted staffs. Coastal Carolina played three games in three days and Arizona three games in four days. Gilmore heads one of the most successful programs of the last decade, but it was downtrodden when he was hired in 1996. The Chanticleers had won 17 games the year before, the team had a substandard stadium and the commitment of some players was questionable. “Where we started at and where we are now, there’s been a lot of building blocks,” Gilmore said. “There’s a bunch of major league players and a whole bunch of AllAmericans and just great hard-

working blue-collar baseball players that have gotten us to where we’re at.” PROCEED WITH CAUTION: Neither Coastal Carolina nor Arizona has allowed a stolen base in the CWS. The Chanticleers lead the NCAA Tournament with 13 steals. BATTLE OF DUGOUT MASCOTS: Coastal Carolina might have an edge in dugout mascot mojo because of a late addition. Arizona keeps a plastic Spider-Man toy in the dugout, and a stuffed monkey named Rafiki serves as Coastal Carolina’s good-luck charm. The Chanticleers adopted an inflatable shark in the middle of the CWS to join Rafiki. The shark was among the dozens of beach balls and other inflatables fans in the left-field bleachers dumped onto the field Thursday. The grounds crew piled up the debris in the left-field bullpen, where a Coastal Carolina player discovered the shark.

Expansion is key in offseason Continued from Page 13 “I think sometimes you can get too worked up about it,” Bowman said. “It’s a little bit early to be making moves strictly for an expansion draft that’s going to happen in about 12 months from now.” Win-now teams shouldn’t get worked up. Penguins GM Jim Rutherford plans to keep Fleury and Cup-winning goalie Matt Murray for now and worry about it later, and making moves for the future alone won’t help anyone capture a title next season. “It’s tough to take a player you like out of your lineup right now before the season starts, especially if you want to compete for a championship,” Washington Capitals GM Brian MacLellan said. “You try and find that perfect situation where you’re protected in an expansion draft.” Expect some movement once teams have a grip on which players they might protect or have in danger of exposing for the NHL’s Las Vegas venture. The Blackhawks have eight players with no-move clauses and the Blue Jackets six, which could necessitate buyouts this week or deals over the next year. “Nobody could really prepare before they knew what the rules were,” Kekalainen said. “Some teams are in better positions just by accident or by luck or whatever.”

Stewart ends losing streak Continued from Page 13 washed up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I know how old I am, I know I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ran good for the last three years. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve felt like if we got things right, that it was still there.â&#x20AC;? Anyone who has followed his career knows that Stewart is best when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a bad mood, and Smoke was ornery all weekend in the picturesque wine country. He complained about young drivers, remarked that NASCAR will be without any tough guys once he retires and grumbled he has no fun driving a Cup car anymore. Well, he sure had fun Sunday. The 45-year-old took the lead on fuel strategy during a caution with 24 laps to go, and had to hold on after another yellow flag stalled the race. The final restart came with 14 laps remaining â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the same number as Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he held off a trio of Toyota drivers for his third career victory at Sonoma. Hamlin made it interesting by pouncing on a Stewart mistake to snatch the lead in the seventh turn of the final lap. Stewart grabbed it back in tricky Turn 11, where he dove to the inside of Hamlin and as the two raced side-by-side, Stewart pushed Hamlin toward the wall. Stewart got past Hamlin and charged to the checkered flag with the entire side of his car crumpled and his tires slightly smoking from the contact with Hamlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made mistakes the last two laps, I had just a little bit too much rear brake for Turn 7, and wheel-hopped it two laps in a row,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt a nudge when I got down there and he knew where it was and he did the right thing doing it there, but if I could get to him, he knew what was coming.â&#x20AC;? It was Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 49th career Cup win and eighth on a road course, one shy of Jeff Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record. Gordon, who retired at the end of last year, made his way to victory lane from the broadcast booth to congratulate his longtime rival. Dozens of drivers then pumped their fists out their window to salute Stewart on his victory lap while his father, Nelson, wiped away tears. Crew members lined the wall to slap his hand, and teammates Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch were among the drivers to rush to speak to Stewart while he was still inside his car. So did Hamlin, a former teammate of Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who has become somewhat of a protector to his one-time mentor. As leader of the Driver Council, Hamlin got the council to split the cost of a $35,000 fine Stewart received this year for criticizing NASCAR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me he was proud of me, he knows what it means,â&#x20AC;? an exhausted and emotional Stewart said in victory lane. After chugging a CocaCola, he slumped to the ground and sat alongside his car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were teammates for a long time and we respect each other a lot.â&#x20AC;? Hamlin, meanwhile, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t indicate he gave the win to Stewart but chalked it up to his own mistake to allow Stewart to snatch the lead away from him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking in the rearview more than looking out front,â&#x20AC;? Hamlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just slid up a little bit in the middle and allowed him to get inside me. I knew he was going to put me in the wall. All is fair in love and war.â&#x20AC;? Hamlin finished second in a Toyota and was followed by Joey Logano in a Ford, pole-sitter Carl Edwards and Martin Truex Jr. as Toyota drivers took three of the top-five spots. Harvick was sixth, Kyle Busch seventh, while Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne and Kurt Busch rounded out the top 10.

BILLY HURLEY III stood behind his trophy after winning the Quicken Loans tournament in Bethesda, Md., on Sunday.
Hurley claims first win By The Associated Press
Billy Hurley III held the club in his left hand and fist pumped with his right. Not far from his Annapolis home and the Naval Academy he graduated from, he became a champion. Hurley shot a 2-under 69 on Sunday to win his hometown Quicken Loans National at Congressional for his first PGA Tour victory. He finished at 17 under in Tiger Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual tournament, three strokes ahead of three-time major champion Vijay Singh. To beat Singh, Ernie Els and 21-year-old Jon Rahm, Hurley showed the poise he developed at the Naval Academy and during his five years of service. Mental toughness and focus he said help with adversity on the course, and that showed through in his 104th PGA Tour start. With the 53-year-old Singh closing on him, Hurley was at his best. He holed out from 35 yards on the fairway for birdie on the 15th, a shot worthy of celebration and one Woods himself called â&#x20AC;&#x153;impressive, really impressive.â&#x20AC;? As if that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, Hurley made a 27-foot putt on the 16th to seal the tournament and wrap up the $1,242,000 firstplace prize and a spot in the British Open. He had never finished higher than a tie for fourth in a PGA Tour event. Hurley celebrated on the 18th green with wife Heather, daughter Madison and sons Will and Jacob. His children held miniature American flags. Singh closed with a 65. Rahm, the former Arizona State star from Spain, wrapped up his professional debut with a 70 to tie for third with Bill Haas (68) at 13 under. Els was fifth at 12 under after a 72. LPGA: Top-ranked Lydia Ko won the NW Arkansas Championship for her third LPGA Tour victory of the year, closing with a 3-under 68 for a tournamentrecord 17-under total and a three-stroke
victory. The 19-year-old New Zealander has 13 career LPGA Tour victories, also winning the Kia Classic and major ANA Inspiration in consecutive weeks in Southern California. She broke the previous tournament record by two strokes. Ko has finished sixth or better in each of her four appearances at Pinnacle Country Club, and she has shot under par in all 12 rounds. Morgan Pressel, tied for the lead with Ko at 14 under entering the day, had a 71 to tie for second with Candie Kung (69). CHAMPIONS: Kirk Triplett rallied to win the inaugural American Family Insurance Championship for his fifth PGA Tour Champions title, making four straight birdies in front of another large crowd at University Ridge. The 54-year-old Triplett shot a 7-under 65 to finish at 17-under 199, two strokes ahead of Bart Bryant and Mike Goodes on the course softened by 2 inches of overnight rain. Because of the wet conditions, players were allowed to use preferred lies in the fairways. With son Sam serving as his caddie, the three-time PGA Tour winner birdied the par-4 13th, 14th and 15th and par-5 16th, saved par with a 6-footer on the par-3 17th and parred the par-4 18th. Bryant, the leader at 17 under after a birdie on 14, had a 69. He made a triplebogey 7 on the 15th after losing his ball when it sailed to the right off the tee. Goodes shot a 68 playing alongside Triplett. PGA EUROPEAN: Swedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Henrik Stenson closed with rounds of 67 and 71 in a 36hole day for a three-stroke victory in the rain-delayed BMW International Open. Stenson finished at 17-under 271 at Gut Laerchenhof for his 10th European Tour title. He also won the 2006 event and was second the previous two years.

Klinsmann, the former German star and coach who took over in 2011, has set a goal of advancing to the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the U.S. last reached the final four at the first tournament in 1930. The Americans were eliminated by Belgium in the round of 16 two years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This senior team, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done well,â&#x20AC;? Klinsmann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been some challenges in this tournament. Colombia was a good measuring stick because we played them twice. The first game we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get up against them enough, but tonight we could have won the game, so a good performance.â&#x20AC;? Geoff Cameron and John Brooks established themselves as the first-choice starting central defenders, and right back DeAndre Yedlin, midfielder Gyasi Zardes and forward Bobby Wood solidified positions as regular starters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with Wood moving ahead of perpetually injured Jozy Altidore. Darlington Nagbe and 17-year-old Christian Pulisic were regulars off the bench and could be the next to break through as Klinsmann tries to lower his lineupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age heading toward the 2018
World Cup in Russia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can take the positives out of this,â&#x20AC;? Cameron said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got out of the group and made it to the semifinals and lost to a good side. At the same time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to keep it going. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got qualifiers coming up and I think we can go in there with our chest out a little bit more and be confident and be eager to show our true ability.â&#x20AC;? Brad Guzan started in goal ahead of 37year-old Tim Howard, the No. 1 choice at the last two World Cups. Ethan Horvath, just 21, replaced Nick Rimando as the No. 3 goalkeeper and moved himself to the top of the next generationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pecking order. The Americans realize how much they need to improve to compete with the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look at some of these teams and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a shining example of what a good team is. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tough, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hard to beat, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re resilient,â&#x20AC;? Howard said. The national team next plays on Sept. 2, when it can clinch a berth in the CONCACAF hexagonal by winning at St. Vincent and The Grenadines. The Americans play host to Trinidad and Tobago four days later at Jacksonville, Fla. Klinsmann believes the tournament provided good lessons against top teams played in extremely competitive situations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to see that level and feel it and face these guys eye to eye and understand,â&#x20AC;? he said.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lionel Messi put his penalty kick over the crossbar, grabbed his shirt, clenched his teeth and covered his face with both hands. A few minutes later he walked off the field, a dazed, pained look on his bearded face. The greatest player of his generation, perhaps soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best ever, he was still without a title on Argentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one he said may never come. Chile beat Argentina in the final for the second straight year, 4-2 in the shootout following a 0-0 tie that ended an expanded 16-nation Copa in the United States to mark the championshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th anniversary.
Reds retire Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 14 CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Reds formally retired Pete Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 14 Sunday, capping a big weekend for baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hits king. Big crowds filled Great American Ball Park for the three days of celebration, which had to be approved by Major League Baseball because of Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifetime ban for betting on his team. The last-place Reds have played in front of small crowds for much of the season. They stretched the celebration into an entire weekend, honoring their 1976 World Series championship team on Friday night and adding him to their Hall of Fame on Saturday. They saved the number retirement for Sunday, the final day of a series against San Diego.
Biles takes fourth straight championship ST. LOUIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The national titles are starting to run together for Simone Biles, a three-year blur of near flawlessly executed routines and carry-on cases full of medals. If Biles is being honest, the fourth straight all-around championship she cruised to on Sunday night wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much a competition as an exhibition and one more thing for Biles to scratch off her checklist before the next real test, the one that in some ways will help define her legacy: Rio de Janeiro and the Summer Olympics. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a destination Biles is finally allowing herself to think about after putting up a two-day total of 125.00 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the highest during her historic run at the top â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to beat three-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman by nearly four points. Only next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic Trials, a mere formality, stand between the 19-year-old Texan and the global stage.
Capps tops Force in NHRA Nationals NORWALK, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ron Capps won the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals on Sunday for his third Funny Car victory in the last four events and fourth of the season. Capps beat Courtney Force in the final with a 3.956second run at 317.49 mph in a Dodge Charger. He opened a 130-point lead over second-place Force in the season standings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Rahn Tobler (crew chief) is doing right now is hard work,â&#x20AC;? Capps said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This guy has been working his tail off. It is big picture to him, he is not just a good crew chief, he is a good racer and I love that. When he is pointing at me in the windshield before a run, it gives me all the confidence in the world.â&#x20AC;? Shawn Langdon won in Top Fuel, Jason Line in Pro Stock, and Eddie Krawiec in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Langdon raced to his second consecutive victory, topping J.R. Todd with a 3.846 at 319.75. Line won for the seventh time this year, edging teammate Greg Anderson with a 6.678 at 208.42 in a Chevrolet Camaro. Krawiec topped Andrew Hines at 6.926 at 194.72 on a HarleyDavidson for his third victory of the year.
Power surges in Kohler Grand Prix ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pole-sitter Will Power picked up his second IndyCar series victory of the year, winning by 0.74 seconds Sunday after holding off Tony Kanaanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last-lap surge at Road America. Kanaan shaved about a half-second off the gap with Power after the white flag went up, but he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch up as the cars wound their way toward the end of the 202-mile Kohler Grand Prix on the 14-turn track. It made for an exciting finish in IndyCarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first race at the rural Wisconsin road course since 2007. Power cruised from the front for much of the afternoon before the race reset for the leader with six laps to go following the only caution flag of the afternoon. Power pulled away before turning away Kanaan.

When you are holding the yo-yo in your palm, the string should come over the top of the yo-yo. Hold your arm bent up, with your hand next to your ear. Bring your elbo ow down with a snap and let the yo-yo fly out over the ends of your fingers. Turn your hand over, and the yo-yo will return up the string. Or, if the string is looped only once, the yo-yo will sleep. To Walk the Dog, make sure your yo-yo is looped just once, so it will sleep. Throw a fast sleeper, then lower the yo-yo until it gently touches the floor. The yo-yo will start walking forward. Jerk it back up before it stops spinning!

Eco Note Leopards have disappeared in 75 percent of their historical habitats across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, a new study says. The loss of the big cats is because of expanding agriculture, declining prey and poaching for the illegal trade in the leopards’ skins and teeth. adapted with permission from Earthweek.com

BET Awards full of Prince tributes, political moments By MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer
The BET Awards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Prince Tribute Showâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; featured emotional and energetic performances from Sheila E., Stevie Wonder and Jennifer Hudson honoring the Purple One, along with political statements on issues ranging from racial injustice to the U.S. presidential election. Sheila E., jamming on the drums and guitar, singing and dancing without shoes, closed the three-hour-plus show at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Work,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Love Bizarre,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Glamorous Life,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;? and more. She was joined by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purple Rainâ&#x20AC;? actor Jerome Benton and Princeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-wife, Mayte Garcia, who danced alongside the background dancers throughout the set. They ended by raising a purple guitar in the air as the audience cheered them on. Hudson, rocking a white-hooded blazer, and Wonder, clad in a purple suit, sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purple Rainâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a month after the pianoplaying icon performed the song with Madonna at the Billboard Music Awards, which BET dissed on Twitter. This time, Hudson was a vocal powerhouse, delivering screeching vocals while Wonder played piano and Tori Kelly was on guitar while a photo montage of Prince appeared on the purple-lit stage. Janelle Monae was animated and funky as she

Bilal was sensual and passionate during â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Beautiful Ones,â&#x20AC;? even lying on the floor while singing near the end of the performance. The Roots backed Bilal, and the band was also behind Erykah Badu as she performed â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ballad of Dorothy Parker,â&#x20AC;? singing softly as she grooved in place. After singing an original song, Maxwell went into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing Compares 2 U,â&#x20AC;? changing some of the lyrics while honoring Prince. Though the BET Awards were heavy on honoring the icon who died on April 21,
the show went from Prince to political throughout the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anatomyâ&#x20AC;? actor Jesse Williams, who earned the humanitarian award for his efforts as an activist, gave a fiery, nearly sixminute speech that brought the audience to its feet and earned a rousing applause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil, black gold, ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them; gentrifying our genius and trying us on like costumes
before discarding our bodies,â&#x20AC;? he said onstage. Williams was introduced by BET CEO Debra Lee, who spoke about gun violence and brought up the recent Orlando shooting at the Pulse nightclub. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all need to take stance against gun violence. You can make a difference,â&#x20AC;? Lee said onstage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use your voice and vote.â&#x20AC;? When â&#x20AC;&#x153;Empireâ&#x20AC;? star Taraji P.

AP Film Writer
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding Doryâ&#x20AC;? tidal wave overwhelmed the sputtering sequel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Independence Day: Resurgence,â&#x20AC;? as the alieninvasion redux was drowned out by the popular Pixar release in North American theaters. In its second week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding Doryâ&#x20AC;? easily remained on top with an estimated $73.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That far surpassed the $41.6 million opening of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Resurgence,â&#x20AC;? which debuted well off the pace of its 1996 original. The first â&#x20AC;&#x153;Independence Dayâ&#x20AC;? opened with $50.2 million, or about $77 million in inflation-adjusted dollars. Of the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other debuts, the Blake Lively shark thriller â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Shallowsâ&#x20AC;? rode a wave of good reviews to a better-than-expected $16.7 million for Sony. Matthew McConaugheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Civil War drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free State of Jones,â&#x20AC;? however, disappointed with just $7.7 million for the upstart studio STX Entertainment. In a weekend full of ups and downs, the opening of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Independence Dayâ&#x20AC;? was the most closely watched debut. Long pegged as one of 20th Century Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tentpoles of the season, it had once been expected to be one of the summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest films. A proud popcorn movie, directed, like the first â&#x20AC;&#x153;Independence Day,â&#x20AC;? by Roland Emmerich, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Resurgenceâ&#x20AC;? brought back much of the original cast with the significant exception of Will Smith. Without him, the sequel doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear likely to match the $817.4 million global haul of the original. Chris Aronson, head of distribution for Fox, acknowledged the result was â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the lower side of our prognostications.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Resurgence,â&#x20AC;? however, took in $102 million abroad, where it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ironically, for a movie named after the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; declaration of inde-
pendence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is doing better business. Fox, perhaps smarting from the critical reaction to its recent release â&#x20AC;&#x153;X-Men: Apocalypse,â&#x20AC;? took the unusual move of not screening the film for critics before release. Such an approach comes with its own risks, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even bad reviews can be good publicity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Aronson maintained the strategy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Independence Day: Resurgence,â&#x20AC;? which cost $165 million to produce, is yet another sequel to struggle this summer, joining the likes of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alice Through the Looking Glassâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.â&#x20AC;? Along with the smaller horror film â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Conjuring 2â&#x20AC;? ($86.9 million in three weeks for Warner Bros.), the acclaimed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding Doryâ&#x20AC;? has been the major exception. After setting a record opening weekend for Pixar last weekend, the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cumulative domestic total is already a whopping $286.5 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talk about sequelitis, which may or may not be an actual affliction, but certainly of these many sequels released this summer and this year, the winners have been the rarity,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely been a pushback from audiences for many of the sequels, including â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Independence Day.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? With the lucrative July Fourth holiday weekend coming up, theaters were jammed with nearly every genre. Next week, Steven Spielbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roald Dahl adaptation â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BFG,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Legend of Tarzanâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Purge: Election Yearâ&#x20AC;? will join the crowd on the July 4 weekend. Estimated ticket sales are for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding Dory,â&#x20AC;? $73.2

and in the middle of the aisles, as most of the audience nodded and sang along. BeyoncĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentees, the duo Chloe x Halle, earned a standing ovation after they sang impressively and played instruments. Rising newcomer Bryson Tiller also performed. In a surprise win, the singer won best male R&B/pop artist, besting Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Tyrese and Jeremih. Tiller also won best new artist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank God, thank my mommy, thank my granny. This is my first award ever,â&#x20AC;? said Tiller, who was also nominated for video of the year. Drake, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend the show though he was the top contender with nine nominations, won best male hip-hop artist and best group with rappersinger-producer Future. Samuel L. Jackson received the lifetime achievement award and was introduced by Spike Lee. Jackson ended his speech by offering praise to Williams, calling him â&#x20AC;&#x153;the closest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard to a 1960s activist.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That brother is right and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, and when you hear what he said, make sure you vote and you take eight more people with you to vote, OK?â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get tricked like they got tricked in London!â&#x20AC;? Prince wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only icon honored Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Muhammad Ali was remembered by his daughter and Jamie Foxx.

going to winâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; think again. So we really need to pull together and turn this country around,â&#x20AC;? she said. Co-host Tracee Ellis Ross said she was supporting Hillary Clinton and reminded viewers several times to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get yourself registered!â&#x20AC;? Clinton has a past with BET: She appeared at BETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Girls Rock!â&#x20AC;? event in April and told the audience â&#x20AC;&#x153;my life has been changed by strong black women leaders.â&#x20AC;? The BET Awards wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all serious, though. BeyoncĂŠ kicked off the show with a surprise performance featuring Kendrick Lamar and multiple background dancers of her song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freedom,â&#x20AC;? dancing in a pool of water to the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavy beat. At one point, Lamar and BeyoncĂŠ kicked the water and danced in sync, drawing a heavy applause from the audience. BeyoncĂŠ won video of the year and the fan-voted viewersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choice award for her hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Formation.â&#x20AC;? Her mother, Tina, accepted the awards and said BeyoncĂŠ had to quickly leave the show after her performance for a concert in London. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank, first of all, her husband and her daughter,â&#x20AC;? Tina said onstage. Alicia Keys slowed things down with a performance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Commonâ&#x20AC;?; Fat Joe, Remy Ma and French Montana were energetic during â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the Way Upâ&#x20AC;?; and Desiigner was excited as he rapped â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pandaâ&#x20AC;? onstage

THAT RULE IS FOR DEFENDERS Alfred Nobel, he of the prize and dynamite, said, “Second to agriculture, humbug is the biggest industry of our age.” As you are aware, bridge is full of adages that are aimed at defenders. But some less experienced players think that they also apply to declarer — humbug. That belief cost a game contract in this deal. South was in three notrump. After West led a fourth-highest club two, what should have happened? North was right to open one heart, not one no-trump. Strain to show a five-card major. Here, North had no spade stopper, no tenaces

and a comfortable rebid. South’s twono-trump rebid invited game, showing a decent 10 to 12 points and something in the unbid club suit. North had an easy raise. The original South immediately remembered “second hand low,” so he played dummy’s club four and took the trick with his eight — more humbug, since the contract could no longer be made. Too late, declarer counted up his winners. He saw six: one heart, two diamonds and three clubs. Another four tricks were establishable in spades, so South was not worried. At trick two, he led a low spade toward dummy’s 10. However, West knew that defenders usually play second hand low. West took the next spade and exited with a club to dummy’s ace. Eventually declarer went down two. As you have noticed, South, after driving out the spade ace, needed a hand entry to cash the remaining spades. Since his only side winner was the club king, he had to win trick one with dummy’s club ace. Then he could have played on spades and cruised home. COPYRIGHT: 2016, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE
