PIQUA — School might beout for summer for a lot of stu-dents, but for a group of about60 students throughout thearea school is still in session —

and they couldn’t be happier.Camp Excel began this week

at the Upper Valley Career Cen-ter and wrapped up Thursday,capping off an exciting week offun-filled activities and learn-ing.One of the cornerstones of

Camp Excel is introducing

young learners to career andtechnical education through funprojects related to a variety ofdifferent subjects.Tony Trapp, Camp Excel co-

director, said the camp teacheskids about several subjects, in-cluding planes and rockets,greenhouses, basic carpentry,

engineering, cosmetology, com-puter animation, culinary arts,American sign language, androbots and electronics.“It’s an opportunity for the

students to get a diluted versionof many of the programs weoffer here at the Upper ValleyCareer Center,” Trapp said. “It’san opportunity for them to ex-pand their thinking patterns.It’s something they can do in-stead of staying inside and play-ing video games. A lot of ouractivities take place outdoors.”Trapp said, thankfully, the

weather this week was greatand the kids enjoyed many ofthe outdoor activities, includingshooting off air-pressurizedrockets and building a terrar-ium.“We have been very lucky this

week with all of the greatweather,” Trapp said.He added that among the fa-

vorite activities this weekamong the children were cosme-tology and junior chef.Fellow Camp Excel Co-Direc-

tor Andrew Snyder, also the ca-reer center’s recruitmentcoordinator, said the program isdesigned to build interest in sci-ence and technology while atthe same time developing criti-cal-thinking skills.“Many campers return year

after year because they are fas-

cinated by the topics and enjoythe active learning process,”Snyder said.Gwen Rose, a Camp Excel in-

structor, said she has spent theweek teaching the childrenabout cooking and the culinaryarts.Her students made every-

thing from homemade cheesecrackers to ravioli and learnedabout things such as vegetari-ans to how to read nutritionalinformation labels on food prod-ucts.Rose said one of the more in-

teresting things about CampExcel activities is howmuch funthe kids were having, perhapswithout realizing how muchthey were learning.“They made homemade ice

cream and learned how the saltand the ice can burn you,” shesaid. “So they are learningabout chemistry while makingice cream.”She added one dish the chil-

dren seemed to love was thecauliflower pizza dough the kidsmade earlier this week.While Camp Excel has taken

place over the last several yearsat UVCC, the fun-filled summerevent was canceled last yearwhile renovations were takingplace at the career center.

COMING TOMORROWEconomic development update

BY MARY CLAREJALONICKWASHINGTON (AP) — The

House rejected a five-year, half-trillion-dollar farm bill Thurs-day that would have cut $2billion annually from foodstamps and let states imposebroad new work requirementson those who receive them.Those cuts weren’t deep

enough for many Republicanswho objected to the cost of thenearly $80 billion-a-year foodstamp program, which has dou-bled in the past five years. The

vote was 234-195 against thebill, with 62 Republicans votingagainst it.The bill also suffered from

lack of Democratic support nec-essary for the traditionally bi-partisan farm bill to pass. Only24 Democrats voted in favor ofthe legislation after many saidthe food stamp cuts could re-move as many as 2 millionneedy recipients from the rolls.The addition of the optionalstate work requirements by Re-publican amendment just be-fore final passage turned away

many remaining Democraticvotes the bill’s supporters mayhave had.Majority Leader Eric Cantor,

R-Va., and No. 2 DemocratSteny Hoyer of Maryland, bothof whom voted for the bill, im-mediately took to the Housefloor and blamed the other’sparty for the defeat.Cantor said it was a “disap-

pointing day,” and Democratshad been a “disappointingplayer.”Hoyer suggested that Repub-

licans voted for the food stamp

work requirements to tank thebill.“What happened today is you

turned a bipartisan bill, neces-sary for our farmers, necessaryfor our consumers, necessary forthe people of America, thatmany of us would have sup-ported, and you turned it into apartisan bill.”House Agriculture Commit-

tee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., has argued the bill isnecessary to avoid farm crises ofthe past and that it has some ofthe biggest reforms in years.

The measure would have savedaround $4 billion after new sub-sidies were created for crop in-surance, rice and peanutfarmers.Just before the vote, Lucas

pleaded with his colleagues’support, saying that if themeasure didn’t pass peoplewould use it as an example of adysfunctional Congress.“If it fails today I can’t guar-

antee you’ll see in this Congressanother attempt,” he said.

Pilot returns to Dayton Air Show

MIKE ULLERY/STAFF PHOTOPilots Michael Goulian and Sean D.Tucker pose for photos dur-ing a flight over Piqua andTroy on June 20, 2013.The flight wasin conjunction with the upcoming Vectren Dayton Air Show thatwill be held this weekend at the Dayton International Airport.

Dayton has long held a spe-cial place in Sean D. Tucker’sheart, so it’s no surprise he’sjazzed about coming back to anaviation hot spot.He’s made several appear-

ances at the annual air show,and fondly recalls his inductioninto the National Aviation Hallof Fame during a 2008 cere-mony in Dayton.But the legendary pilot is just

as keen to catch up with peopleon the ground when he comes totown, sort of like a family re-union.A BIG family reunion.“It’s such a beautiful commu-

nity, and it’s a true aviation afi-cionado’s place to go,” saidTucker, who will fly Saturdayand Sunday in the 39th annualDayton Air Show at Dayton In-ternational Airport. “As a per-former, it’s an honor to beinvited to come here.”

Dr. Jonathan Saxe alwayswanted to pursue flying as ahobby, but time commitmentsassociated with being a surgeonat Miami Valley Hospital often

meant that aspiration had towait.Thursday, he definitely

caught the bug again.Saxe got a personal lesson in

aerobatic expertise from leg-endary pilot Sean D. Tucker ona Legends flight at Dayton In-ternational Airport.“It was an incredible experi-

ence,” Saxe said following thehalf-hour flight over portions ofMiami and Montgomery coun-ties. “I was mostly worried

Just after the vote,Lucas told reporters thevote “turned out to be aheavier lift even than I ex-pected.”Minnesota Rep. Collin

Peterson, the senior De-mocrat on the House Agri-culture Committee, saidhe believes the work re-quirements and a votethat scuttled a proposeddairy overhaul turned toomany lawmakers againstthe measure.“I had a bunch of people

come up to me and say Iwas with you but this is it,I’m done,” Peterson saidafter the vote.House Speaker John

Boehner, R-Ohio, voted forthe bill, but Boehner sup-ported the dairy amend-ment and Cantorsupported the amendmentthat imposed the work re-quirements.Lucas and Peterson had

warned that adoption ofthose amendments couldcontribute to the bill’sdownfall.The Senate overwhelm-

ingly passed its version ofthe farm bill last week,with about $2.4 billion ayear in overall cuts and a$400 million annual de-crease in food stamps one-fifth of the House bill’sfood stamp cuts. If the twochambers cannot come to-gether on a bill, farm-state

lawmakers are likely topush for an extension ofthe 2008 farm bill that ex-pires in September.Though passage has

been in the balance allweek, the final voteagainst the bill was largerthan many expected.When the final vote countwas read, House Democ-rats cheered loudly, led bymembers of the Congres-sional Black Caucus whohad fought the food stampcuts.The defeat is also a

major victory for conserva-tive taxpayer groups andenvironmental groupswho have unsuccessfullyworked against the bill foryears. Those groups have

aggressively lobbied law-makers in recent weeks,hoping to capitalize on themore than 200 new mem-bers of the House since thelast farm bill passed fiveyears ago. Many of thosenew members are conser-vative Republicans whoreplaced moderate ruralDemocrats who had cham-pioned farm policy.Those groups were em-

boldened after the vote.“We need to put farm

subsidies on a path toelimination and we needto devolve food stamps tothe state level where theybelong,” said ChrisChocola, president of theconservative advocacygroup Club for Growth.

about losing my lunch …and I was surprisinglyable to handle it. I thinkMr. Tucker was extraordi-nary in controlling the air-plane and making it anextraordinary experi-ence.”Tucker — who has been

dazzling air show patronsfor years with his cutting-edge maneuvers — pro-vides rides for a localcommunity “hero” at se-lect cities in which he per-forms. He’s in Dayton thisweek for the 39th annualDayton Air Show, wherehe’s scheduled to fly Sat-urday and Sunday.Saxe, a surgeon certi-

fied in general surgery

and surgical critical careat multiple area hospitals,was selected for the Leg-ends flight for his contri-butions in the medicalfield, training medical res-idents, and doing medicalmissionary work in under-privileged countries rang-ing from Sierra Leone,Togo and Guinea toSwaziland, Mongolia,Bangladesh and Ecuador.Tucker said that dedi-

cation and desire to makethe world a better place fitright in with the conceptbehind the Legends pro-gram.“It’s just a way to ac-

knowledge great people inthe community,” he ex-plained. “We take firemen,police, little kids that have

done something extra or-dinary. I think it’s veryimportant to honor ourheroes on all levels.“It gives me an hour to

share what’s magicalabout life and share mypart of the sky withthem,” he continued. “It’sjust a way to say thankyou.”Saxe said he was both

thrilled and humbled tobe chosen for the ride.“It’s very humbling to

be given an opportunity tofly with somebody whohas such a tremendousreputation and in such aprestigious air show,”Saxe said. “(Dayton) is theplace for flight, so to evenbe here is humbling.”Once back on the

ground, Saxe — who saidhe’d never been upsidedown in an airplane be-fore — described the se-ries of loops and rolls heand Tucker executed inthe bright red OracleChallenger III bi-plane,and grinned from ear-to-ear when he shared howhe was given control of theaircraft for a couple of ma-neuvers.“It’s really an extraordi-

nary feeling, because yougo down like you’re on aroller coaster, and thenwhen you pull it up there’sa period of weightlessnessand you’re being held inthe airplane with thestraps,” he said. “It’s anexperience.”One worthy of a legend.

And with close ties toPiqua-based Hartzell Pro-peller, Tucker frequentlypractices in airspaceabove the Piqua Airport.“I have a very close re-

lationship with the peoplehere at Hartzell … andalso with the neighbor-hood and the surroundingcommunity,” he said.“We’ve gotten to be verygood friends with them.It’s kind of like a home-coming for me.”Well, if coming to town

feels like a big familygathering, Tucker is defi-nitely the favorite unclefrom out-of-town whocommands everyone’s at-tention.He’s been lauded as a

Living Legend of Aviation,is an International Coun-cil of Air Show Hall of

Fame inductee, and in2010 received the GeneralCharles E. Yeager Inter-national AeronauticalAchievement Award. Andon air show days, he’sknown for presenting acarefully choreographedroutine in which hepushes his bright red Or-acle Challenger III bi-plane to the limit.“Fans are going to see a

guy very in tune with hisflying machine doing veryelegant — but at the sametime extreme — aerobaticmoves that only modelairplanes do. I’m really ex-cited to show off some ofthese new front flips andtwirls,” he said. “This ismy fourth season withthis airplane … so it’sbeen quite a journey tolearn how to fly this ma-chine. I have close to 3,000flights in this plane, so I’m

really getting to knowher.”Tucker said he prac-

tices up to three times perday, but admits even hecan get nervous from timeto time.“A performance is some-

thing that is close to yourheart. So when you get infront of an audience, nomatter how many timesyou do it, you’re nervous,”he said. “But I love thefeeling. What you’researching for is perfection.And when you pull it offcorrectly, it’s a big rush.It’s a huge adrenalinerush.”And once he’s done fly-

ing a show, the 61-year-oldCalifornia native is just ascomfortable on the groundmingling with air showfans as he is in the sky.“(The fans) are the rea-

son I’m able to have this

job,” he said. “It’s such ablessing. I get to share mypassion, and the fans livevicariously through (me),so it’s humbling to be ableto have the opportunity tonot only inspire somebody,but also connect withthem. You might be largerthan life in the sky, butyou’re just a person on theground.”Fans who want a

glimpse of Tucker doingwhat he does best in thesky can catch him Fridayand Saturday at the airshow.For more information

his favorite activity thisweek at Camp Excel wasthe computer animationclass because he enjoysbeing around and workingwith computers.“I’ve had so much fun

this week,” Gibson said.

“The computer animationis my favorite. It’s justbeen so much fun.”Fellow Camp Excel stu-

dent Maia Stump, 12, ofBradford, has attendedCamp Excel for four yearsand she said she loves

being apart of it everyyear.“I really like the junior

chef class,” Stump said.“That’s because you get tocook and be creative andmake what you want.”

Versailles Glee Camp 2013opens to students in July

Republican support for immigration reform focusesmainly on political self-interest. Since 71 percent ofHispanicsand74percentofAsiansvotedDemocratic

lastNovember,it’s easy to seewhysmartRepublicansaresoconcerned.As Ron Bonjean, a prominent GOP strategist, told

Reuters: “If Republicans refuse to pass comprehensive im-migration reform,wewill becomeobsoleteasapartywithin10 years.”But there isanother compellingreason forRepublicans to

getbehindthe immigrationbillnowontheSenate floor.Thatmeasure -- which would eventually legalize millions of un-documented foreigners and attract thousands of highly-ed-ucated scientists andentrepreneurs—strongly encourageseconomic growth. And that’s exactly the goal Republicanssay is their top priority.JebBush, the formerFlorida governor andpossible pres-

idential contender, made this precise point in a recentspeech. “Immigrants create far more businesses than na-tive-bornAmericans,”he said.“Immigrants aremore fertile... and they bring a younger population. Immigrants createan engine for economicprosperity.”He’s right.We need im-

migrants as much as theyneed us. Reforming thecurrent system is not justan act of charity or hu-manity. It is an act of na-tional self-interest.Arecent report fromthe

U.S.Census Bureau force-fully reinforces this point.For the 12 months endingJuly 1, 2012, more non-Hispanic whites died inAmerica than were born.That hasnot happened in at least a century and signals a long-termshift in the structure of theAmerican economy.“Today’s racial andethnicminoritieswill no longerbede-

pendent on older whites for their economic well-being,”William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institu-tion, toldTheNewYorkTimes.Thecensusdata,heasserted,“makesmore vivid than ever the fact thatwewill be reliantonyoungerminoritiesand immigrants for our futuredemo-graphic and economic growth.”Republican hardliners continue to repeat the same old

tired slogans: that a path to citizenship rewards lawbreak-ers, hurtsAmericanworkers and drains theTreasury.If theywant to commit thesort ofpolitical suicideBonjean

describes,then fine,that’sup to them.But theyarewrongonthe facts, and their position threatens the economic well-being of the rest of us.Here’s why.Startwith thenature of the immigrantworkforce.As the

Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank put it: “Im-migrants have different skills and job preferences from na-tive-born Americans, so they ... complement rather thansubstitute for native-bornworkers.”Specifically, immigrants earn fewerhigh school diplomas

than established Americans, but more doctorates, particu-larly in the sciences.Lots of fruit pickers and computer pro-grammers. As a result, the report concludes, “Immigrantsincrease economic efficiency by reducing labor shortages inlow- and high-skilled markets.”True, there is some compe-tition for entry-level jobs between newcomers and natives,but “the economyas awhole gains,with substantiallymorewinners than losers.”When immigrantsbecome legalized,theyearnhigher in-

comes and pay more in taxes. Once they no longer have tohide, they can go to school, improve their language skills,qualify for better jobs, move more freely to seek work andbargainmore effectively with their employers.A study from the Center for American Progress, which

leans left, estimates that legalizationwould increase immi-grant incomes by 15 percent over 10 years.That translatesinto $392 billion in additional earnings and $109 billion inadditional taxes.TheCongressionalBudgetOffice says thissurge in economic activity would cut the federal deficit byclose to $1 trillion over the next two decades.Andthat’snot theonlybenefit.Young immigrantworkers

can help shore up Social Security as aging baby boomersstart retiring and stressing the system. “If undocumentedimmigrants acquire legal status,” reports the Center forAmericanProgress,“theywill contribute farmore to theSo-cial Security system than they will take out and willstrengthen the solvency of Social Security over the next 36years.”AsJebBushpoints out, immigrantsare farmore likely to

createbusinesses thanestablishedAmericans.Attention fo-cuses on themost visible examples—Google, Intel,eBay—butKoreangreengrocersandMexican landscapersalsohireworkers and generate economic activity.Finally, the Senate bill would vastly increase the visas

available for foreign-born scientists and engineers. Thesefolks are so valuable to any economy that Canada recentlyerected billboards in Silicon Valley, urging discontentedtechies to move north if they were having legal troubles intheU.S.If Republicans are really serious about what they say, if

they reallybelieve ineconomicgrowth,then theyshoulden-thusiastically support immigration reform.

At what point does itbecome clear that weno longer inhabit

America?When we “Press 2,” not

“1” for English?When a National Social

Security Number syncs anelectronic identity that thegovernment hospital pro-vided us at birth to track ustill death?When borders are no more, but the

Surveillance State always knows wherewe are?Ours is the age of dislocation before

realization: The United States of Amer-ica no longer exists.Why? How? The an-swer is simple, tragic and outrageous:Government officials, elected and un-elected, with precious exceptions, nolonger preserve, protect and defend theU.S. Constitution. Instead, they do what-ever it takes to beat it, flout it and ignoreit. Worse,We, the People, let them.This can’t go on. Otherwise our coun-

try-’tis-of-thee becomes a melody to beforgotten, a mirage of a tradition morestorybook than real every day. Nowhereis this more the case, of course, than inWashington, D.C., where absolute unac-countability corrupts absolutely, whereechoing down the cool, white marblehalls of power, hollow men and womentrample sovereignty and citizenship in apathway to American betrayal. And Ihaven’t even gotten to Congress, busy,busy “reforming” the illegal alien crisisthey antiseptically refer to as “immigra-tion,” while considering passage of a$940 billion “farm bill,” 80 percent ofwhich will fund food stamps. These twolaws alone can institutionalize the law-lessness of the land and make countlessmore Americans wards of the state.Meanwhile, there is in Washington a

faceless power-mongery that lives andworks in the shadows. City by city, ruralstate by rural state, its mechanisms of“immigration,” “refugee resettlement,”and socialist government programs over-whelm a near-impotent citizenry withalien cultures, religions, languages andtraditions.There is no “melting pot” out there,

nor is there even residual belief in one -- particularly not on the part of the state.Most of our new peoples will never em-brace American constitutional virtues enmasse to perpetuate them because theirown sponsor, their own lifeline, is themega-state that brought them here andsupports them.This goes for newcomers from the His-

pano-sphere, 75 percent of whom, Pewreported in 2012, believe the U.S. gov-ernment isn’t big enough and want moregovernment services. It also goes forMuslim “refugee resettlement” popula-tions, willfully deployed by this samepower-mongery to displace and erasewhat we may one day look back on asjust another indigenous culture thatWashington overlords destroyed.Then there is the faceless power-mon-

gery that transforms the country, ironi-cally, in the name of “national security.”How can “national security” be achiev-able in an America without borders? Itis a post-9/11 fact that more than onemillion Americans, government employ-ees and contactors, now have “top-secret”

access. They monitor ourelectronic lives, and collectall of our telephone num-bers, something we havelearned from the completelyunauthorized but vital dis-closures of Edward Snow-den. This mass monitoring,we are told repeatedly, iswhat it takes to prevent“another 9/11.”Never mind those pin-

prick jihad attacks in Boston, Arkansasor Fort Hood. In fact, never mind jihad,period.This same Surveillance State hasofficially eliminated jihad as a subject tobe taught or studied by security agenciesand the military. In this way, every oneof us becomes a suspect.“Why do you need every telephone

number?” NBC’s Andrea Mitchell askedDirector of National Intelligence JamesClapper. “Why is it such a broad vacuumcleaner approach?”“Well, you have to start someplace,”

Clapper replied.Incredibly, this deaf, dumb and blind

vacuum cleaner approach is touted as ef-fective enough to have prevented 9/11 inthe first place. So stresses former CIAand NSA chief Michael Hayden, abooster of the warrantless “data mining”of the PRISM program and the mass col-lection of all Americans’ telephonerecords.The mendacity of this rationale is as

appalling as the hyper-state it enables.Just ask the airline ticket taker inBoston who, constricted by “political cor-rectness” forced herself to tell the al-Qaida hijackers to “have a nice flight”rather than investigate their strangepre-boarding behavior.If our leaders really wanted to prevent

“another 9/11,” they would have long agoadmitted the obvious: that the world ofIslam, from its terrorists to its kings, isengaged in the latest historical cycle ofjihad to extend the reach of Islamic law(sharia). They would have decided that“profiling” isn’t worse than terrorism.They would have halted Islamic immi-gration not only to stop more jihad cellsfrom forming but also to prevent Consti-tution-endangering, pro-sharia demo-graphics from forming, too. They wouldhave sharply curtailed travel, and par-ticularly return travel from jihad na-tions such as Chechnya and Pakistan.They would have long ago blocked U.S.institutions, including colleges, mediaorganizations and banks, from acceptingmillions of dollars from sharia-ruled dic-tatorships. They would have closed downmosques in America where jihad ispreached and supported.Above all, they would have secured

our borders rather than leave them openall these post-9/11 years. Of course, thatwould mean re-establishing and defend-ing those borders, both literally and fig-uratively.That’s one thing Washington, D.C.,

will never tolerate.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) —In an accelerated electionfor a new U.S. senator fromNewJersey, theDemocraticfield is Cory Booker vs.everyone else.The Newark mayor’s

name recognition and deep-pocketed pals would givehim an advantage in anystatewide race. But thecharismatic Booker — whoclearly has national politi-cal ambitions andhas spentsignificant time raising hisprofile on social media andgiving speeches around thecountry—may be more fa-miliar to talk show viewersthan to New Jersey voters.His ride to Washington gotbumpier when the electionwas moved up a year be-cause of Sen. Frank Laut-enberg’s death this month.Booker, 44, hasn’t raised

as much money as hehoped. He hasn’t finishedhis second term inNewark,something he promised todo when he decided not tochallenge Gov. ChrisChristie’s re-election bid.And he didn’t have time totry to discourage other De-mocrats from competingagainst him in a party pri-mary.Booker is still the odds-

on favorite to win the Aug.13 primary,which is akin tocoronation because a Re-publican hasn’t held theseat formore than 40 years.One recent poll had him upby 40 points among otherDemocrats. It also showedhimwell ahead of the likelyRepublican challenger, for-merAmericans for Prosper-ity state director SteveLonegan, in theOct.16 gen-eral election,whichwill set-tle the seat for a year.As few as 200,000 voters

could decide the outcome,an anticipated turnout solow it adds to the uncer-tainty.It’s almost certain that

Booker, a Stanford gradu-ate andRhodes scholarwhogrew up in the New Yorksuburb of Harington Park,N.J., will be criticized dur-ing the primary for his fast-paced ambitions.

LONDON (AP) — Thegown Elizabeth Taylor woreat the first of her eight wed-dings is for sale. You’ll needat least 30,000 pounds($47,000) to buy it anda tinywaist to wear it.

Christie’s auctionhouse isoffering the seed pearl-en-crusted satin dress — com-plete with waist-cinchingbuilt-in corset—designedbycostume designer HelenRose.

Taylor was 18 when shewore the gown to marryhotel heir Conrad “Nicky”Hilton Jr. inMay 1950—anevent, studio MGM boasted,attendedby“morestars thanthere are in heaven.”

The couple divorcedmonths later and Taylorwent on to wed seven moretimes.Shedied in2011,aged79.

The dress will be soldJune 26, with an estimatedprice of 30,000 pounds to50,000 pounds ($47,000 to$78,000)

1. You are declarer withthe West hand at Six Dia-monds, and North leads atrump, South followingsuit. How would you playthe hand?

2. You are declarer withthe West hand at ThreeNotrump, and North leadsthe three of clubs. Southwins with the ace and re-turns the jack to yourking. How would you playthe hand?

1.There are many waysto make the slam if the op-posing cards are dividedfavorably -- for example,

by a successful heart orclub finesse; by ruffingtwo of dummy’s spades inthe hope of dropping theking; or by finding a sin-gleton or doubleton queenof clubs.

However, to capitalizefully on all of thesechances, you should playthe hand in this order:Win the diamond, cash theace of spades and cross todummy with a trump.Ruff a spade, lead a club tothe king and ruff anotherspade. If the king ofspades has not appeared,cross to the ace of clubsand lead the queen ofspades.

If South discards or fol-lows low, you can assurethe slam by discardingyour last club. North winswith the king but is help-less. Whatever he returns,

you are sure to acquireyour 12th trick.

If South covers thequeen of spades with theking, ruff it and lead aclub toward dummy’s J-3.If North follows suit, youare home; if he shows out,you still have the heart fi-nesse to fall back on.

All told, your chance ofmaking the slam by thissequence of plays is betterthan 95 percent.

2. Cash the A-K-Q of di-amonds and then play thequeen of hearts. This as-sures the contract regard-less of how the opposingcards are divided. Thus, ifthe queen of hearts losesto the king, dummy’s jackof hearts becomes anentry that will enable youto score six diamonds, twoclubs and a heart for ninetricks.

If the defenders allowthe queen of hearts to hold(in order to deny you anentry to dummy’s dia-monds), you counter byshifting to the king ofspades and forcing out theace. This also yields ninetricks consisting of twospades, two hearts, threediamonds and two clubs.

Tomorrow: Final ac-counting.

DEAR ABBY: I wastaken away from my par-ents at 13 and placed intofoster care, where I stayeduntil I aged out at 21. Mybiological mother is a drugaddict who abandoned meto my father when I was11. She never tried to con-tact me while I was incare.

I am now 24 and shewon’t leave me alone. Shesends Facebook messagesthat alternate betweenbegging me to let her getto know me, and condemn-ing me for being vindictiveand not having forgive-ness in my heart. Abby,this woman exposed me todrugs and all manner ofseedy people and situa-tions. I was molested andbeaten by some of the menshe picked up to pay thebills.

Am I a horrible personfor ignoring her? I’m closeto losing my temper andletting her know exactlyhow angry I am, but Iknow it would do no good.I just want to move onwith my life and advancein my profession withouthaving to worry aboutthis. What do you think?

— STALKED INNEW YORK

DEAR STALKED: Si-lence sends a strong mes-sage. I think that whenthe harassment started,you should have immedi-ately blocked this womanon Facebook. It’s not toolate to do that now. If shecontinues to annoy you,consider getting a re-straining order.

Because you are on apath to success, allowNOTHING to divert you.

DEAR ABBY: OnMarch 14 you printed aquestion from “Jim in NewJersey” who asked ifbrand-new clothingshould be washed beforewearing. Having workedin a shirt factory for years,let me tell you how manyhands handle the shirt be-fore it goes into that neatlittle bag.

1. Someone spreads thefabric and lays the pat-tern.

2. The cutter cuts it.3. Someone else ties the

different parts together.4. Another person takes

the parts to the sewingpeople.

5. One sewer attachesthe pocket to the front.

6. Another sews theyoke to the back.

7. Another sews that

back to the front.8. Another sews in the

sleeves.9. Another sews the side

seams.10. Still another hems

the bottom.11. Another adds the

collar.12. Another sews on the

cuffs (if long-sleeved).13. Someone else sews

on the buttons.14. Another reinforces

the buttonholes.15. An inspector exam-

ines the garment for loosethreads.

16. An auditor gives it afinal check.

17. And finally, someonefolds the shirt and puts itinto that nice, clean-look-ing bag.

Don’t even ask howmany times it may havefallen on the floor — or ifwe washed our hands.Abby, I NEVER wear any-thing until I wash it!

Dave Chappelle to headlinemonthlong comedy tour

NEW YORK (AP) — Dave Chappelle is making his mostsubstantial return to stand-upcomedy with a one-month tour forFunny Or Die.

The comedian will headline theOddball Comedy and CuriosityFestival, which kicks off Aug. 23 inAustin, Texas. The 13-date, two-stage tour concludes Sept. 22 inPhoenix.

The 39-year-old Chappelle hasoccasionally performed im-promptu sets in comedy clubs. Buthe has largely avoided comedy and public life since abruptlyleaving his hit Comedy Central series, “Chappelle’s Show,” in2005. Also on the bill are Flight of the Conchords, HannibalBuress, Kristen Schaal and Al Madrigal.

MILAN (AP) — A Milan court onWednesday convicted the designersDomenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana oftax evasion.

They were found guilty of failing to de-clare 200 million euros ($268 million)through a Luxembourg company to author-ities and given a one year and eight monthssuspended jail sentence. They were orderedto pay a penalty of 500,000 euros (about$670,000) to tax authorities.

The court, however, acquitted them ofmisrepresenting income of 416 millioneuros (around $560 million) each, eventhough the statute of limitations had ex-pired on the charge.

The designers have denied the charges.Defense lawyer Massimo Dinoia pledged toappeal the ruling, saying the fact the courtissued an acquittal on a charge that had ex-pired, instead of just letting it fall to thestatute of limitations, “means the proof oftheir innocence is evident.”

Two years ago, a judge threw out a taxevasion and fraud case against the pair,whose label Dolce&Gabbana is a Milanfashion mainstay. Italy’s high court laterruled the designers could be prosecuted fortax evasion, though not for fraud.

Three other defendants, including twomanagers, were also convicted in thescheme and given suspended sentences ofone year and four months. A sixth defen-dant was acquitted.

�� Living with Children

PARENTING6 Friday, June 21, 2013 WWW.DAILYCALL.COM • PIQUA DAILY CALL

If my parents told meonce, they told me atleast one hundred

times, “Don’t talk to any-one about their religiousor political beliefs.” Theymeant, of course, thatthose topics are likely togenerate tension andangry conflict. As such,they were not the stuff ofpolite social conversation.Notwithstanding the factthat I find religion andpolitics to be the two mostinteresting of all conversa-tional topics, a third cau-tion should be added tothe list: parenting. Inother words, don’t talk toanyone about how theyare raising their children.Numerous people from

all over the country havetold me of parenting dis-agreements that led to thebreakup of even closefriendships. I’ve long agolost count of the parents

and grandparents who’vetold me sad tales of howsuch conflicts have causedalienations within ex-tended families. Teachersand administrators con-stantly convey stories ofparents who take theirchildren’s sides wheneveracademic or disciplinaryissues arise at school.Most significant, disagree-ments between husbandand wife over how to raisechildren, especially overwhen and how to disci-pline them, have become amajor cause of divorce,ranking right up therewith conflicts over sex andmoney.This trend has been ex-

acerbated by the growingpopularity of radical par-enting philosophies likeattachment parenting, ad-vocates of which promoteextended breast-feedingand parent-child co-sleep-

ing. As a prime example,the divorce of former childactress Mayim Bialik, au-thor of Beyond the Sling, abest-seller on attachmentparenting, is currently inthe works. Actually, thatcame as no surprise. Read-ing her book, I got the dis-tinct impression that sheand her husband did notsee eye-to-eye where theirkids were concerned.Whether it’s a matter of

complaints by men ofplaying second fiddle tothe kids or complaints bywomen of husbands whocome home from work andundermine their attemptsto keep the kids undercontrol, it’s obvious thatmarriage, once enteredinto for the purpose ofhaving children, is nowthreatened by children.Fifty-plus years ago,

there was general consen-sus on how children

should be raised. Thatconsensus has been shat-tered. I submit that theshattering began whenparents began relying onadvice from experts whothemselves did not agreeon even the most funda-mental of parenting mat-ters. I am acutely aware,for example, that a signif-icant number of mentalhealth professionals donot appreciate (a mild wayof putting it) my tradition-alist perspective. But evenif I was taken out of theequation, agreement inthe mental health commu-nity would still be lacking.The larger problem,

however, is that when theparenting traditions of aculture begin disintegrat-ing and are replaced byparenting anarchy, thevery survival of the cul-ture is threatened. Untilrelatively recently, par-ents were trying to raisechildren such that Amer-ica was sustained andstrengthened. Today’s par-

ents, by and large, havetunnel vision. Their par-enting is all about thechild or children. Theneeds of the forest are ig-nored in all the fuss overthe supposed “needs” ofthe individual trees.And no one can agree

over what the trees needin the first place.

Fun day trips in the heart of it all

Youth leagues try to rein in ‘bad news parents’ BY MARTHA IRVINEAP National Writer

BUFFALO GROVE, Ill.(AP) — No parent here hasrushed onto a playing field tojump a referee who made anunpopular call. No adult hasgotten angry and slugged orpushed a coach or a youngplayer, as has happened else-where. Nor have there beenany of those embarrassingsideline brawls you some-times see posted on onlinevideo sites.At least nobody’s admit-

ting to it.Still, parent behavior in

this quiet suburb north ofChicago has been question-able enough to cause thepark district officials to postnew signs at ball fields withwhat you might call ... a fewgentle reminders.“This is a game being

played by children,” the signsin the Buffalo Grove ParkDistrict begin, with thewords “game” and “children”highlighted in bold letters. “Ifthey win or lose every gameof the season, it will not im-pact what college they attendor their future potential in-come.”The campaign, which

began this month, is rela-tively low-key. You might noteven notice the small bluesigns if you weren’t standing

right by them. But theyspeak to a growing move-ment in youth sports —aimed at reining in parentswho, many say, are too in-volved, too competitive andin need of a little perspective.“I just want to get back to

what I was brought up withas a child — and that’s, ‘Letthe kids play,’” says DanSchimmel, the park district’sexecutive director.Elsewhere, some youth

sports leagues are requiringparents to sign codes of con-duct or recite pledges beforegames, promising in front oftheir children that they’ll be-have. If they slip up, theymight be pulled aside for aconversation or kicked out ofa game if a warning does nogood.Other leagues occasionally

have “silent” games, whereparents and sometimes evencoaches can only offer en-couragement or cheer andclap, but can’t direct theyoung players or say or shoutanything too negative.Buffalo Grove officials say

some have questionedwhether this is just anotherattempt to coddle children.Some wonder: Shouldn’t ayoung player learn to takecriticism? And what’s wrongwith a little competition, any-way?

But this, say coaches,leagues and even some par-ents and kids, is about parentbehavior that increasinglygoes way over the line andinterferes with a kid’s abilityto enjoy something that’ssupposed to be fun.“We’ve all seen that person

on the sidelines and we’rethinking, ‘Are they reallygoing there? Really?’” saysBrian Sanders, president ofi9 Sports Corp., a nationalfranchiser of youth leaguesand camps based in Floridathat uses sportsmanship asone of its cornerstones.In some cases, violent be-

havior has led to criminalcharges — in Newark, N.J.,for instance, where parentsallegedly beat up a LittleLeague baseball umpire be-cause he wouldn’t call agame because of darkness.“The level of competition

in youth sports has gottenexponentially greater, forcingthis level of hyper-competi-tion,” Sanders says.“I think that is driving a

certain level of behavior onthe sidelines that is ampli-fied.”Haley Small, a 19-year-old

college student who playedsoccer and then travelingsoftball through high school,puts it this way: “The morecompetitively I played, the

more interesting the parentsgot.”“We’d joke about it, but it’s

serious. Some of my friendswere walking on eggshells,”says Small, now a student atIthaca College in New York.“We hear a lot more thanpeople think.”It gets so bad sometimes

that some players wish theirparents would just stayhome, she says.Laura Marinelli, who

coaches Small’s younger sis-ter on a traveling softballteam for 12- to 14-year-oldgirls in Essex County, N.J.,also has noticed more over-the-top parent behavior inrecent years.Marinelli recalls one dad

who was angry about a playon the field and tried totackle her assistant coachduring a game. The coachwas able to duck the parentand ended up throwing himto the ground.At a national tournament

last year, she says a father ofa player was so unhappywith a decision she’d madethat he ran at her in thedugout, screaming and point-ing in her face, causing someof her players to cry. Ulti-mately, she asked his daugh-ter to leave the team becauseshe felt the dad had repeat-edly violated the team’s code

of conduct.“The girl is a phenomenal

softball player. She’s a sweet-heart — and a great kid,”Marinelli says. “But I can’thave a parent like that on thesidelines.”Kicking kids off teams is

one of the more serious pun-ishments that leagues andcoaches use to try to keepparents under control. Someleagues and tournament offi-cials also are giving umpiresmore power to warn offend-ing parents and coaches andthen ask them to leave thepremises if they ignore thewarning.It can be an effective de-

terrent, though in manyother instances, umpires orreferees at youth games areoften teenagers who may nothave the experience or confi-dence to stand up to parents.And often, there’s no secu-

rity at games. So parents areleft to police themselves.For that reason, some

teams assign parents to be“culture keepers,” askingthose people to help keep theyelling and negativity fromfellow parents to a minimum.Sometimes, they even handout lollipops to help keepthemselves quiet.“But sometimes the cul-

ture keeper isn’t always thebest person — because that

person is yelling just as muchas the other parents,” JillKirby says, laughing. She’s amom in Long Grove, Ill.,whose five children partici-pate in sports, from soccer toswimming and T-ball, some-times in neighboring BuffaloGrove.She says the signs asking

adults to behave are a niceidea — perhaps even a wayto get people talking aboutthe issue. But ultimately, shedoesn’t think the tactic willwork.“I think the worst offend-

ers don’t think they are theworst offenders,” Kirby says,conceding that maybe evenshe was one of those parents,“once upon a time.”“And then I got a little per-

spective,” she says.Greg Dale, a sports psy-

chologist at Duke University,agrees that it’s difficult forparents to see themselves as“that parent,” at least with-out a little help.He recalls a mom in Cali-

fornia telling him about adad she called “leather lungs”because he yelled so often atthe officials, coaches andkids.Hesitant to approach him,

the woman secretly filmedhim at several games andanonymously sent him thevideo.

Homer Bailey fires a strike Thursday.

CINCINNATI (AP) —Jay Bruce had barely putthe ball in play wheneverhe faced Jason Grilli. Hisfirst career hit off the Pi-rates' closer was somebreakthrough.Bruce ended Grilli's

saves streak with a solohomer in the ninth, andBrandon Philips singledwith the bases loaded inthe 13th inning onWednesday night, rallyingthe Cincinnati Reds to a2-1 victory over the Pitts-burgh Pirates.Two outs away from a

second straight shutout,the Pirates let it get away.Grilli started the ninth

needing one more save totie a club record. He hadconverted each of his 25chances this season, oneshy of Joel Hanrahan's2011 club record to open aseason.With one out, Bruce

came up with a dauntingpersonal history — 0 for 7in his career against Grilliwith five strikeouts. Hewaited on a first-pitchfastball and got it, con-necting for his fourthhomer in his last sixgames."They threw him one

fastball too many," man-ager Dusty Baker said.It was the first homer

Grilli had allowed thisseason. Cincinnati hadn'tscored in its last 17 in-nings since Bruce hit asolo homer during a 4-1win on Monday night."I've had pretty good

CINCINNATI (AP) —Pedro Alvarez hasn'tchanged anything in June,except those RBI num-bers. They're way upthere, just like the Pirates.Alvarez drove in all of

Pittsburgh's runs with asolo homer, bases-loadeddouble and a single onThursday for a 5-3 victoryover the Cincinnati Redsand a split of their high-profile NL Central series.The Pirates remain a

half-game behind second-place Cincinnati after thefour-game set, keepingthem virtually shoulder-to-shoulder as they chasethe torrid St. Louis Cardi-nals.After blowing a one-run

lead in the ninth and los-

from a number of peopletoday and Pedro was oneof them," manager ClintHurdle said. "There wasno bigger swing than withthe bases loaded, left-on-left. Beautiful."Alvarez had an RBI sin-

BOSTON (AP) — TheBlackhawks are headingback to Chicago having re-gained home-ice advan-tage in the Stanley Cupfinals and with a renewedfaith in an offense thattook more than 120 min-utes to push a puck pastBruins goalie TuukkaRask."It's time to put all

those other games behindus, the games where westruggled to score," cap-tain Jonathan Toews saidafter contributing toChicago's most prolificoutput of the playoffs in a6-5 victory over Boston inGame 4 on Wednesdaynight.

"It was fun to see thepuck go in as often as itdid tonight. We know wecan be better defensively.But we'll use that confi-dence and try our best topounce on them."Toews' goal was the

first in 11 games for thecenter who tied for theteam lead in scoring in theregular season. He alsoscreened Rask on BrentSeabrook's slap shot 9:51into overtime that sentthe series back to Chicagotied two games apiece.Game 5 is Saturday

night before the teams re-turn to Boston for Game 6on Monday."At this point of the sea-

son, it's down to best-of-three," said Seabrook, adefenseman who also hadthe overtime goal in Game7 of the Western Confer-ence semifinals. "We wantto win games, find a wayto win 'em any way wecan."It was the third over-

time game in the matchupof Original Six franchises,but it bore little resem-blance to the three tightlycontested games thatopened the series. Theteams combined for fivegoals in the second period— as many as in Games 2and 3 combined — as

MIAMI (AP) — It allcomes down to this.Heroes are made, lega-

cies are forged and heartsare broken in Game 7s ofthe NBA Finals. It's ashame they don't comearound more often.David Stern has spent

30 years as NBA commis-sioner, and he's only beenable to see the league's ul-timate event five times.The rareness of the onegame, winner-take-all sce-nario is what makes it

special. That certainlyisn't lost on Stern, whoplans to retire in Februaryand is watching his last fi-nals as commissioner.The San Antonio Spurs

and Miami Heat took thisyear's series to a Game 7— the third one in the lastnine years, a pattern thatbasketball enthusiastshope will continue."To have two well-con-

structed and each, in theirown way, fabled teamswith playoff MVPs, withfinals MVPs, certain Hallof Famers, seven champi-onships among them, hav-ing had a great season,"

Stern said Thursday after-noon, "it's as good as itgets."Rare are the occasions

where the season defini-tively comes down to itsvery last day. Senses areheightened. Stomachs arechurning."You go through a long

season and you're notthinking today's the lastday," said ESPN analystKurt Rambis, who playedin two Game 7s with the

Lakers in 1984 and '88."That one, it is a realdefining moment. Thereare a lot of emotions thatyou go through thinkingabout the what-ifs of youwinning and what-ifs ofyou losing. You startthinking about everythingyou went through to get tothat point. It's clear thatit's over with after today."It's as close as the NBA

can get to the drama andstakes of the Super Bowl,and Stern has witnessedthe celebration and theheartbreak up close."Each one of them is so

terribly exhilarating,"

Stern said. "In addition tothe exhilaration of thewinning team, the despairof the loser is palpable. It'ssports at its best. It's theessence of competition."Stern said it would be

hard for this series to topGame 6, when LeBronJames rallied the Heatfrom five down with 21seconds remaining to winit in overtime. It keptMiami's hopes of defend-ing its title alive againstTim Duncan, Manu Gino-bili and Tony Parker, theveteran core of the Spurs.

Chicago bounced backfrom its first shutout ofthe season with its high-est-scoring game of theplayoffs."I guess it was just our

turn to score again," saidBlackhawks forwardPatrick Kane, who had agoal and an assist in theback-and-forth game. "Itwas a fun game to play. ...I'm sure the fans enjoyedthat, for sure."Bryan Bickell and

Michal Rozsival had twoassists apiece for Chicago,which had scored only fivegoals total in the firstthree games of the seriesand hadn't gotten thepuck past Rask in morethan 129 minutes cominginto Game 4. Corey Craw-ford made 28 saves for theBlackhawks, but hecoughed up the lead threetimes."They keep coming,"

Blackhawks coach JoelQuenneville said. "One ofthose nights."Patrice Bergeron scored

twice, and Zdeno Charaand Jaromir Jagr eachhad two assists for Boston,which has won 11 of itslast 14 playoff games; thethree losses have all beenin overtime. Rask made 41saves, but he didn't seethe last shot until it wastoo late."I saw it at the last sec-

ond," he said. "There wassome traffic in front ... justcouldn't make a stretch."The Blackhawks led 1-

0, 4-2 and 5-4, but eachtime the Bruins evened itup. The last, just 55 sec-onds after Chicago tookthe lead, came whenJohnny Boychuk slappedit over a sliding JohnnyOduya with 7:46 left inregulation.Boychuk, who had

never scored more thanfive goals in a season, hassix in these playoffs."It wasn't a Bruins' type

of game, but at the sametime you have to get your-self back into it," coachClaude Julien said. "Ourguys worked hard to scoregoals. Probably got our-selves out of what our nor-

mal game plan is. So weopened up and we scoredgoals, but we also gavethem some goals, like thegame-winning goal."The overtime was even

until the Bruins failed toclear the zone, and theBlackhawks got the puckto Seabrook at the rightpoint. What seemed like aharmless shot eludedRask, and Chicago fol-lowed with a subdued cel-ebration at the end ofanother long night."If he sees the puck, he's

going to be almost impos-sible to beat," Quennevillesaid. "We want to makesure we get there andmake it hard on him tofind it, try to go on the sec-ond and third opportunity.Nice ending with traffic inthe net, Seabs having ashot that tied us up."The Bruins had trailed

for under 60 minutes totalout of the almost 900 min-utes they had played inthe postseason. But theBlackhawks came outstrong early in this one,recording the first sevenshots and taking a 1-0lead on a short-handedgoal when Oduya was offfor interference early inthe first period.Brandon Saad picked

Tyler Seguin clean in thedefensive zone andbrought the puck downthe ice before flipping itacross to Michal Handzus,who rattled it in off thepost to make it 1-0. Thatsnapped Rask's shutoutstreak which dated to thefirst period of Game 2, butthe lead didn't last forlong.None of them did."I don't think anybody

expected that before thegame," Rask said. "Butthey're a good offensiveteam.When you give themgoals and they get thelead, obviously, you haveto start opening up tooand creating some offense.That's what happened. Ithink if you take some-thing positive out of this,you've got to look at thefact that we scored fivegoals."

"I just think everyone,including the spectators,are on edge and that'swonderful," Stern said."Every possession getsmagnified. Every move,every coaching change,every adjustment, it be-comes a clinic about thebeauty of our game."Here's a look at some of

the most recent finalsGame 7s:

2010: Lakers 83,Celtics 79. Kobe Bryanthad tried to pretend theCeltics were just anotheropponent, but he could fi-nally admit otherwiseafter the Lakers pulled offa fourth-quarter rally toavenge a loss to theirbiggest rival two yearsearlier.

2005: Spurs 81, Pis-tons 74. Tied at 57 goinginto the final quarter, thefinal game of the 2005season was anything butan offensive masterpiece.But the Spurs found morethan enough scoring downthe stretch to capturetheir third title in sixyears.

1994: Rockets 90,Knicks 84. Hakeem Ola-juwon scored 25 points

and grabbed 10 rebounds,leading the Houston Rock-ets past the New YorkKnicks and officially end-ing the Chicago Bulls'reign atop the NBA world.

1988: Lakers 108, Pis-tons 105. Pat Riley fa-mously said that his LosAngeles Lakers would de-fend their 1987 title. Hewas correct, but his clubwas taken to the absolutelimit by Detroit.

1984: Celtics 111,Lakers 102. Round 1 goesto Larry Legend. In thefirst finals meeting be-tween Larry Bird andMagic Johnson, theCeltics and Lakers tradedpunches in a tense firstsix games. Back at theBoston Garden for Game7, Bird put up 20 pointsand 12 rebounds to get thebetter of his rival fromLos Angeles.

1978: Bullets 105, Su-perSonics 99. One of themost unlikely matchups— Seattle came out of theWest as a No. 4 seed andWashington was the thirdseed in the East — pro-vided one of the morememorable games in fi-nals history.

MUNICH (AP) — ErnieEls shot a 9-under 63,making an eagle andseven birdies, on Thurs-day to hold the clubhouselead in the opening roundof the BMW InternationalOpen.The South African, who

won the British Open in2002 and 2012 and theU.S. Open in 1994 and1997, almost had a secondeagle on the last hole thatwould have equaled acourse record.He settled for a birdie

that gave him the overalllead."It doesn't really mean

much until Sunday. Butgetting into the race — soto speak — early on in thetournament is nice, to beright in the hunt," Elssaid.Els is one stroke ahead

of Matthew Baldwin ofEngland, Alex Noren ofSweden, Robert-Jan Derk-sen of the Netherlands,and Martin Kaymar, whodelighted the home crowdby finishing in the after-noon with three succes-sive birdies, nine in all."I had a lot of chances

on the back nine and Ipretty much made all ofthem," said the German.Baldwin and Noren

both holed eight birdies inthe morning, while Derk-sen had six, as well as aneagle.English pair Matthew

Nixon and Tom Lewis,and Alexander Levy ofFrance are next aftershooting 65s."Hats off, it was just

everything went right,holed a lot of putts andthat's that, really," Nixonsaid. "I had two eaglesand my dad is alwaystelling me I'm rubbish atpar-5s so hopefully he'llfeel better about that."Els finished tied for

fourth at the U.S. Openlast week and had a shareof sixth place at theWent-worth Club in his previ-ous two tournaments."I've really been work-

ing hard at my game," the43-year-old said, referringto his recent fine form."I could feel that things

were coming around a bit.I've had a bit of an iffyyear up to now, but I re-ally feel that my swingfeels good and my bodyfeels good, so I can swingthe club properly."Els started at the 10th

hole, and made fivebirdies in the outward 31.He holed a 40-foot

birdie putt on the shortsecond, before doing bril-liantly on the par-5 sixth.Despite finding himself

in the rough facing a flagguarded by water, hedrove the ball almost 250yards to within five feet ofthe hole, before putting forthe eagle."It's just a pleasure to

play, not to go through atorture chamber like I didat the U.S. Open. So, anice start," Els said."I'm glad that I came

(here) because I feel mygame is coming around. Ijust haven't had the re-sults, so it's nice to seewhere my game is."

Hunter Mahan watches an iron shot Thursday at the Travelers Championship.AP PHOTO

CROMWELL, Conn.(AP) — Charley Hoffmanmissed the course recordby a stroke, but shot 61Thursday to take the leadafter the first round of theTravelers Championship,a year after he blew a two-stroke advantage on thetournament's final twoholes.In his latest round,

Hoffman hit a 126-yardapproach shot within 3-feet of the pin to help himbirdie 18 and separatehimself by a stroke fromHunter Mahan, whoposted an early 62. BubbaWatson was two strokesback.Hoffman said he

thought he might have achance to go even lower,and was flirting with 59after making eagle on 10and 12, and going to 8-under par with a birdie on16. His 28 on the backnine was the lowest 9-holescore on Tour this year"I knew I had some

chances coming in," hesaid. "But when it's saidand done, as I displayedlast year, 16, 17 and 18aren't an easy test. So Iwas just trying to makesome pars coming in."Hoffman, Mahan and

Watson all have interest-ing histories in Connecti-cut.Hoffman finished tied

with Watson for secondlast year after it seemedhe had the tournamentsewed up. He made doublebogey on 17, then bogeyedthe 18th after failing toget up and down from a

greenside bunker, handingMarc Leishman the title."It's nice to come back

after that finish last year,and come back and shoot61 and put myself back inthe lead," Hoffman said.Mahan is the 2007

champion and has twosecond-place finishes inhis 11 previous starts atthe TPC River Highlands."I think this is the most

comfortable course on tourfor me," he said.Coming off a fourth-

place finish after being inthe final pair at the U.S.Open, Mahan kept itrolling here, opening theday by making the first ofeight birdies during abogey-free round. He wasalso at 8-under with threeholes to play before shoot-ing par on the final threeholes."This is a golf course

where you can be aggres-sive off the tee if you wantto be, but you can alsoplay it safe," he said. "Ichoose to be mostly ag-gressive, and it gives mesome short irons. I'mhappy to take on pins withmy short irons.“So it's a combo of

things, but all I know iswhen I step on that tee, Ifeel like I can hit any shotout here."Watson finds himself in

contention again afterwinning in 2010 and tyingHoffman as the runner upa year ago. He said thereis a reason so many famil-iar names are at the top ofthe leaderboard."These are guys that

love this course, that lovethis tournament, they loveTravelers and how they'vetreated us here," he said."And so, you're alwaysgoing to see pretty muchsome of the same guys upthere because they enjoythis area and this golfcourse."A group of six golfers

was four strokes back.The biggest ovation of

the day came when JustinRose was introduced onthe first tee as the U.S.Open champion. Rosewent on to shoot a 67,leaving him in good shapeheading into Friday."Obviously, I'm playing

well," he said. "I just knewI had to get through todaywithout too much damage.If you manage to keep it inthe mid-60s for most ofthe week, you should dopretty well."Rose also announced

that he is changing man-agement companies, leav-ing British-based 4Sports& Entertainment forExcel Sports, the samecompany that representsTiger Woods."I just felt with me play-

ing so much here in thestates and where I felt mygame was going, I just feltit was a decision I wantedto make," he said.The round marked the

pro debut Chris Williams,the top-ranked amateur inthe world the past season.He shot a 1-over 71, withtwo bogies and a singlebirdie."The first tee, I was a

little nervous," he said.

and we had to go extrasand work harder. You losea tough ballgame in animportant series."Manny Parra (1-1)

pitched the 13th, and theReds won it against VinMazzaro (3-2). DerrickRobinson and Shin-SooChoo singled with one out,and Joey Votto waswalked intentionally.Phillips singled up themiddle to end it."That's what Brandon

does," Bruce said. "I'vebeen watching him for sixyears, so I'm a little accus-tomed to it."Phillips was hit on the

left forearm in Pittsburghon June 1 and missed fourgames with a bruise. Hewas batting only .164since he got back in thelineup."I haven't been feeling

right and I was doingthings I don't normallydo," Phillips said. "I felt alittle better today."The Reds are 5-7 in

extra innings, tied withColorado for most in themajors.They've gone extra in-

nings in three of their lastseven games. The Piratesare 4-4 after their longestgame of the season.Cincinnati has held

onto second place in theNL Central by winningtwo of three in the series,which concludes on Thurs-day.Pittsburgh left-hander

Jeff Locke gave up onlyfour hits and three walksin seven innings. StarlingMarte tripled and scoredon an error by pitcherBronson Arroyo in thethird.Both teams wasted

chances to end it earlier.The Reds had a runnerthrown out at the plate,and the Pirates left thebases loaded twice and gottwo runners picked off.Also, Bruce stretched tothe top of the wall in rightto rob AndrewMcCutchen

in the seventh.Arroyo gave up six hits

in seven innings.He hit Russell Martin

in the back of the leftshoulder with an 88 mphfastball in the fifth inning.Alfredo Simon hit Jordy

Mercer in the back in theninth, the 18th time a bat-ter's been hit during thenine games between theteams this season.Pirate pitchers have

plunked 10, Reds pitcherseight. Choo has been hitsix times, Marte threetimes, Phillips and Mc-Cutchen twice each, andfive other players onceapiece.The Pirates pulled off

an unusual relay to cutdown a runner at theplate in the second inning.Zack Cozart tried to scorefrom first base on RyanHanigan's two-out doubleto left. Marte's throw tothe infield went over Mer-cer's head at shortstop,but second baseman NeilWalker was backing upthe play, made the relayand got Cozart.

NOTES: The Redshaven't been shut out inback-to-back games sinceAug. 30-31, 2011, whenthey lost to the Phillies 9-0 and 3-0. ... Pirates LHPWandy Rodriguez, on theDL with tightness in hisleft forearm, will throw 35to 40 pitches off a moundon Thursday. If he has noproblems, he'll make arehab start in the minorson Sunday. ... Arroyo hadanother scoreless first in-ning. He has allowed onerun total in the first in-nings of his last 19 starts.... RHP Homer Baileystarts the final game ofthe series for Cincinnati.He's 8-2 in career againstPittsburgh, including ano-hitter at PNC Park lastSeptember. RHP BrandonCumpton makes his sec-ond career start for the Pi-rates.

Cingrani to snap a 2-alltie.The five RBIs were a

season high for a Pirateand one shy of Alvarez'scareer high. The thirdbaseman has been Pitts-burgh's top run producerin June, leading the teamwith 48 RBIs overall.It's quite a change. Al-

varez .180 in April and.225 in May before findinghis form. He has sixhomers in June, second-most in the NL."I just think it's repeti-

tion and getting the op-portunity to go out and tryto gain as much experi-ence as I can from everyday out there," Alvarezsaid.Bryan Morris (4-2) con-

tributed to the go-aheadrally with his first careersingle. He also pitched twoinnings, allowing one run.Left-hander Tony Watsonpitched the last two in-nings for his second savein three chances.The Pirates lead the

season series 6-4, holdingtheir own early in the sea-son despite a rotationthat's sapped by injuriesand a lineup that strikesout a lot and wasteschances. Under the cir-cumstances, the way theseries ended was satisfy-ing."We don't expect any-

thing less," Morris said."It's good to not lose anyground. Definitely wouldhave loved to have threeout of four in the series,but we're not complainingabout the split, especiallyafter the hard game lastnight."Jay Bruce hit another

solo homer, his third of theseries and his fifth inseven games. His ninth-inning shot off JasonGrilli led the way to thedraining 13-inning win onWednesday night.The teams combined for

seven homers in the se-ries, all solo shots. Cincin-nati hit four in a 4-1 winthat opened it.Brandon Cumpton

made his second majorleague start for Pitts-burgh, giving up two runs— one earned— in five in-nings.Bailey faced the Pirates

for the first time since hisno-hitter at PNC Park lastSeptember and left aftersix innings with the scoretied at 2. He gave up sixhits, throwing 113 pitches.Bailey is 8-2 careeragainst Pittsburgh."They've definitely

made strides over the pastcouple of years, but it'searly," Bailey said. "Theyhave a good club but thepast couple of years,they've fallen into the pat-tern of fading, so we'll see.It's a long season."Alvarez's throwing

error helped the Reds getan unearned run in thefirst. Shin-Shoo Chooreached on Alvarez'steam-high 13th error,stole second and camearound on Joey Votto'ssingle.Another batter got hit,

extending a prominenttheme to the Ohio Riverrivals' series this season.At least one batter hasbeen plunked in each ofthe 10 games, with 19 hitoverall. Pirate pitchershave hit 10, Reds pitchers9, leaving some simmer-ing unhappiness on bothsides.Choo has been hit six

times, Starling Marte andAndrew McCutchen threetimes each, BrandonPhillips twice, and fiveothers one time apiece.

NOTES: The officialscorer changed a call fromWednesday night game.Russell Martin's grounderoff Bronson Arroyo's glovewas originally ruled anerror.

Obama to nominateComey as FBI headBY NEDRA PICKLERAssociated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obamaon Friday plans to nomi-nate President George W.Bush’s former No. 2 at theJustice Department,James Comey, to lead theFBI as the agency grap-ples with privacy debatesover a host of recently ex-posed investigative tac-tics.Comey is perhaps best

known for a remarkable2004 standoff over a no-warrant wiretapping pro-gram at the hospital bedof Attorney General JohnAshcroft. Comey rushed tothe side of his bedriddenboss to physically stopWhite House officials intheir attempt to get an ail-ing Ashcroft to reautho-rize the program.If confirmed by the Sen-

ate, Comey would serve a10-year tenure and re-place Robert Mueller, whohas held the job since theweek before the terroristattacks on Sept. 11, 2001.Mueller is set to resign onSept. 4 after overseeingthe bureau’s transforma-tion into one the country’schief weapons against ter-rorism.The White House said

in a statement thatObama would announcehis choice of Comey onFriday afternoon.Comey was a federal

prosecutor who severedfor several years as theU.S. attorney for theSouthern District of NewYork before coming toWashington after theSept. 11 attacks as deputyattorney general. In re-cent years he’s been an ex-ecutive at defensecompany Lockheed Mar-tin (NYSE:LMT) , generalcounsel to a hedge fund,board member at HSBCHoldings and lecturer onnational security law atColumbia Law School.The White House may

hope that Comey’s Re-publican backgroundand strong credentialswill help him throughSenate confirmation at atime when some ofObama’s nominees havebeen facing tough bat-tles. Republicans havesaid they see no majorobstacles to his confir-mation, although he iscertain to face toughquestions about hishedge fund work, his tiesto Wall Street as well ashow he would handlecurrent, high-profile FBIinvestigations.The FBI is responsible

for both intelligence andlaw enforcement withmore than 36,000 em-ployees. It has facedquestions in recentweeks over media leakprobes involving The As-sociated Press and FoxNews; the BostonMarathon bombings; theattack at Benghazi,Libya, that killed fourAmericans; and two vastgovernment surveillanceprograms into phonerecords and online com-munications.The leaker of those

National SecurityAgency programs, for-mer NSA contractor Ed-ward Snowden, also isthe subject of an ongoingcriminal investigation.And just this weekMueller revealed theFBI uses drones for sur-veillance of stationarysubjects and said theprivacy implications ofsuch operations are wor-thy of debate.Comey played a cen-

tral role in holding upBush’s warrantless wire-tapping program, one ofthe administration’sgreat controversies andan episode that focusedattention on the admin-istration’s controversialtactics in the war on ter-ror.In dramatic testimony

to the Senate JudiciaryCommittee in 2007,Comey said he thoughtthe no-warrant wiretap-ping program was soquestionable that he re-

fused to reauthorize itwhile serving as actingattorney general duringAshcroft’s hospitaliza-tion. Comey said whenhe learned that theWhite House chief ofstaff and counsel wereheading to Ashcroft’sroom despite his wife’sinstructions that therebe no visitors, Comeybeat them there andwatched as Ashcroftturned them away.“That night was prob-

ably the most difficultnight of my professionallife,” Comey testified. Hesaid he and Ashcroft hadreservations about theprogram’s legality, buthe would not discuss de-tails since the programwas classified.Senior government of-

ficials had expressedconcerns about whetherthe NSA, which adminis-tered the warrantlesseavesdropping program,had the proper oversightin place. Other concernsincluded whether anypresident possessed thelegal and constitutionalauthority to authorizethe program as it wascarried out at the time.Comey was deputy at-

torney general in 2005when he unsuccessfullytried to limit tough in-terrogation tacticsagainst suspected terror-ists. He told then-Attor-ney General AlbertoGonzales that some ofthe practices were wrongand would damage thedepartment’s reputation.Some Democrats de-

nounced those methodsas torture, particularlythe use of waterboard-ing, which produces thesensation of drowning.Comey’s defiance won

him praise from Democ-rats. In a statement,Senate Judiciary Com-mittee ChairmanPatrick Leahy, D-Vt.,who will overseeComey’s confirmationhearing, said, “Mr.Comey showed the kindof independence neededto lead the FBI when hestood up to those in thelast administration whosought to violate therule of law.” Leahy calledfor senators to giveComey “the swift and re-spectful confirmation hedeserves.”Sen. Chuck Grassley,

the top Republican onthe Senate JudiciaryCommittee, said Comey’sexperience on nationalsecurity would benefitthe FBI. “He’s previouslydealt with these matterswith integrity and showna willingness to standhis ground if necessary,”Grassley said in a state-ment. He added that hewants to question Comeyon his work in the hedgefund industry and won-dered whether he couldimprove the Obama ad-ministration’s efforts toprosecute Wall Street forits role in the economicdownturn.Concerns over Comey

were raised by the Amer-ican Civil LibertiesUnion, which doesn’ttake positions on nomi-nees but is interested incivil liberties issues.ACLU senior policycounsel Mike Germansaid while Comey stoodup to some surveillance,he eventually approvedthe NSA program alongwith interrogation tech-niques that included wa-terboarding, as well asdefended the indefinitedetention of Jose Padilla,an American terrorismsuspect.“We want to make sure

whoever sits in thatchair has a determinedinterest in protecting therule of law, particularlysince they will be there10 years, outlasting thispresident and poten-tially the next presi-dent,” German said.German said these is-

sues are particularly rel-evant given the newrevelations about sur-veillance programs.
