MIDDLEPORT — A narcotics
investigation led to the arrest of
five Middleport residents over the
weekend.
A Middleport Police investigation into narcotics trafficking in the
Cole Street area resulted in five arrests and multiple criminal charges.
On Friday, June 15, and into
the early hours of Saturday morning, Middleport officers executed
a search warrant at the Cole Street
residence of James A. Williams.

Arrested at the scene were Williams, Amber Ebersbach, Eddie E.
Rhodes, Kathy Rey and Sonja Stiffler. All are residents of Middleport.
According to a news release by
the Middleport Police Department,
Williams is charged with felony
permitting drug abuse and misdemeanor possession of drug abuse
instruments; Ebersbach is charged
with misdemeanor drug paraphernalia, felony tampering with drugs,
felony trafficking in drugs (heroin),
felony possession of controlled substance; Rhodes is charged with two
felony counts of trafficking in drugs

(heroin), misdemeanor possession
of drug paraphernalia, felony tampering with drugs, three counts of
felony possession of a controlled
substance; Rey and Stiffler are each
charged with one misdemeanor
county of possession of drug abuse
instruments and one misdemeanor
count of possession of a controlled
substance.
Officers from the Pomeroy Police
Department also assisted in the arrests.
It is unclear when the five arrested will make their initial court
appearances.

This was the second meth lab
discovery in a matter of days, with
two people having been arrested
late Thursday evening following the
discovery of a meth lab at the Meigs
Motel.
Donald P. Carnahan, 31, of Long
Bottom, and Leann C. Dill, aka
Rendell, 30, of Pomeroy, were arrested in connection with a lab
manufacturing methamphetamine
in a guest room of the Meigs Motel.
A young child, reportedly Rendell’s
child, was removed from the scene
by Meigs County Children’s Services.

Rendell and Carnahan appeared
in Meigs County Court on Friday
where they were arraigned on one
count each of illegal possession of
chemicals, a felony of the second
degree. Both are scheduled for a
hearing at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.
Carnahan was also charged in
mid-May with tampering with
drugs (felony three), possession of
chemicals (felony three), and drug
paraphernalia (misdemeanor four)
in connection with a meth lab discovered in Middleport.

POMEROY — An observance of the 200th anniversary of the start of
the War of 1812 held at the
Meigs County Courthouse
Monday featured the raising of the bicentennial flag
and remarks from speakers
in tribute to those Meigs
Countians who served in
that war.
The ceremony opened
with the raising of the flag
by Legionnaire Wayne
Thomas of Drew Webster
Post 39 which also had participation from the unit’s
honor guard who gave a gun
salute to conclude the program. The flag, which will
fly until July 3 and then be
reserved for future events,
has 15 stars and 15 stripes.
Flags were provided by the
Ohio Bicentennial Commission to every county in the
state.
Keith Ashley, president of
the Ohio Society of the War

of 1812, an organization of
descendants of veterans of
that war, gave introductory
remarks regarding Meigs
County’s participation, and
then read the list of over 150
men who served, many of
which are buried in marked
graves in the county’s cemeteries.
Historian Scott Britten
of Marietta spoke about
the war and related stories
about the role local soldiers
played in bringing the three
year conflict to a conclusion.
Meigs County Commissioner Tom Anderson presided at the observance
which opened with Hal
Kneen singing the National
Anthem and the Rev. Thomas Johnson giving the invocation. The benediction was
given by Brian Dunham after which church bells tolled
in tribute to those who
served in the War of 1812,
and to all war veterans, living and deceased.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Millions of Americans are
desperate for work, runaway
government spending clouds
the future and Democratic
and Republican candidates
are busy making one thing
clear: They’re light years
apart on what to do about it.
They do agree that in this
election, the economy is ev-

erything. President Barack
Obama calls it “the defining
issue of our time.” But for
voters wishing Washington
would come together in a
time of crisis, Obama, his
Republican rival Mitt Romney and their congressional
allies don’t offer much hope
Instead, they’ve taken
to describing the gulf on

economic policy in galactic terms. Romney must be
“on a different planet,” an
Obama adviser declares.
The president is “living in
an alternative universe,” the
Republican Party chief says.
On planet Republican:
The economy is backsliding, and the president is to
blame.

Opinion

A dad like Jack: The influence
of Ronald Reagan’s father
Dr. Paul Kengor

When we open our newspapers on Father’s Day, we
expect to find something
nice about dads — often
heroic dads. Yet, for every
boy or girl whose father
was a doctor or Marine who
stormed the beaches of Normandy, there is a dad who
was more complicated; not a
great dad but one still loved
and had an impact, sometimes in unorthodox ways.
This describes a father I’ve
studied: Jack Reagan, father
of the late president, Ronald
Reagan.
Born in the Midwest,
Jack Reagan was a shoe
salesman who scraped and
scrapped so his family could
get by. And they didn’t get
by very well. Before long,
drinking — a lot of drinking
— was helping Jack to cope.
Jack uprooted the family at every turn. Throughout young Ronald Reagan’s
childhood, his family never
owned a home.
In one of these moves,
to the little Illinois town of
Galesburg, Ronald had a
kind of epiphany. The lonely
boy ventured to the attic of
his latest home. The previous tenant left behind a collection of bird’s eggs and
butterflies enclosed in glass.
The curious first-grader
escaped into the attic for
hours at a time, marveling at
the eggs’ rich colors and the
intricate wings of the butterflies. “The experience,”
Reagan remembered, “left
me with a reverence for the
handiwork of God that never left me.” These wonderments, said Reagan, were
like “gateways.” The notion
of a Creator was etched into
the boy’s consciousness. He
later thanked that previous
tenant as “an anonymous
benefactor to whom I owe
much.”
Ironically, this dramatic
rendezvous with the Creator was Jack’s inadvertent
doing.
Moving took a toll on the
young Ronald; it created a
void in him — a hole that
religion came to fill. In need
of a rock of reliability, he
looked to where his mom,

his heart, and his desolation pointed him: upward.
There, he found what he
perceived as a permanent
friend — God, who was
always in His place, accessible at any moment, who
never moved on him.
Another foible of Jack’s
may have contributed to
his son’s turn to God. It
was a brisk February evening in Dixon, Illinois in
1922. Returning home from
a basketball game at the
YMCA, 11-year-old Ronald
expected to arrive to an
empty house. Instead, he
was stunned by the sight
of his father sprawled out
in the snow on the front
porch. “He was drunk,”
his son later remembered.
“Dead to the world … crucified.” Jack’s hair was soaked
with melted snow, matted
unevenly against the side
of his reddened face. The
smell of whiskey emanated
from his mouth.
Young Reagan stood over
his father for a minute or
two. He wanted to simply let
himself in the door and pretend his dad wasn’t there.
Instead, he grabbed a fistful of overcoat and heaved
Jack to the bedroom, away
from the weather’s harm
and neighbors’ attention.
He felt no resentment, just
grief. This, after all, was the
man who had always carried him.
The event shook the
young Reagan; he never forgot it. Four months later he
was baptized at his mom’s
church.
The story of Ronald
Reagan’s dad is sad. Yet, it
describes many father-son
relationships and reveals
how a complex father can
possess both negative and
positive attributes — and,
yes, there were positives.
Jack instilled in Ronald
Reagan the work ethic that
propelled him into radio,
then the movies, and then
television — all in the heyday of each medium. In the
1930s, when most of America suffered, Ronald Reagan
soared. He would go on to
twice win (in landslides)
the governorship of the nation’s largest state and the

presidency of the world’s
most powerful nation. His
father taught him that success comes from within, not
by a handout. Reagan saw
in his dad an ability to roll
with the punches, a trait
crucial to Reagan’s thick political skin. He also learned
from his father the gift of
gab that the Great Communicator ultimately mastered.
Moreover, completely neglected by history was Ronald Reagan’s hatred of racial
and religious bigotry. Here,
too, his dad had a role. Jack
didn’t just tell his son that
racism was bad; he shared
indelible accounts that Reagan internalized and retold
throughout his life.
Of course, dads can’t do
everything. For the duty
of spiritual development,
Jack Reagan delegated to
his wife, Nelle. Give him
credit, I suppose. Jack knew
his limits and his wife’s
strengths. Nelle excelled at
the task.
Really, it was the Reagans
together, both Jack and his
wife, who serve as an excellent example of how it
takes two — a mom and
dad, each bringing separate
strengths to the table — to
best raise a child. Maybe
that’s a worthwhile thing to
remember on Father’s Day,
and any day.

On the road to Rio — How far
have women really come?
Vicky Markham
Center for Environment and Population (CEP)

In just a few days, thousands of delegates, heads of
state, nongovernment activists and media will descend
upon Rio de Janeiro to hash
out our planet’s environmental future at the United
Nation’s Rio+20 Earth Summit. They will talk about the
health of the planet’s environmental resources, our air,
land, water and biological diversity, and how to manage
and pay for it all.
But success at this meeting won’t be achieved merely by protecting our planet’s
flora, fauna or climate. Their
success - or failure - could
hinge on the engagement of
a pivotal, but often neglected, group of stakeholders:
the world’s women.
Around the world, from
Rio to Uganda, the Pacific
Cook Islands to Mississippi,
US women play an important role as resource managers, and they are often on the
front lines of environmental
crises such as drought, sealevel rise and severe storms
caused by climate change.
For example, in Africa climate change has depleted
water tables, decreased tree
cover and degraded crop
yields. This acutely affects
women there who are the
primary farmers, water and
wood fuel providers. It has
a ripple effect because the
same climate change forces
also decrease their abilities
as care-givers to provide
good quality health, education and economic options
for themselves, their families, and their communities.
At the same time, women
are glaringly under-represented in environmental
debates, negotiations, and
decision-making from the
community to international
levels. At past meetings on
the global environment,
women led only 10% of delegations, and some 40% of
delegations were comprised
of men only, a number which
has actually risen in recent
years. As a result, though
disproportionately affected,
their specific concerns are
often overlooked, and that is
a mistake.
Empowering

Congress shall make no law

or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition

grievances.

through education, legal
rights, healthcare, and economic opportunities is not
only good for women and
their families, but critical
for the planet. And experts
tell us that one of the most
inexpensive yet powerful
strategies for empowering
women is through reproductive healthcare and family
planning - yet more than 200
million women worldwide
lack access to these services.
So, along with women’s
empowerment, meeting the
until-now “unmet need for
family planning” is essential
for achieving sustainable development as part of Rio+20
objectives. As Musimbi
Kanyoro of the Global Fund
for Women said, “Sustainable development isn’t sustainable if it doesn’t include
empowering women to plan
their families, educate themselves and their children and
have a voice in government
at all levels.”
Still, women, who should
be an integral part of sustainable-development talks,
remain under-represented or
absent.
Women organized around
the first Rio meeting in
1992, where women’s role
in sustainable development
was first acknowledged.
That conference marked the
first time that world leaders and governments considered the essential role of
women in resolving global
sustainability
challenges,
and it included gendersensitive language. Its final
outcome document said,
“Women have a vital role in
environmental management
and development. Their full
participation is therefore
essential to achieve sustainable development.” At that
initial meeting, there was
a women’s movement that
crafted a gender perspective
into sustainable development, spearheaded by Bella
Abzug, D-N.Y., Nobel Prizewinner Wangari Maathai, Indian environmental feminist
Vandana Shiva and the Brazilian social entrepreneur,
Thais Corral and many others. These women created
a communal meeting space
where on each day of the
conference, interventions
and strategies were shared

and analyzed and a collective
women’s voice was formed.
Today, another powerful
movement of women is mobilizing to bring that role to
fruition. They are working
to get more gender-specific
language included in the
Rio+20 agenda, and forming new collaborations of
global women to advocate
on the issues post-Rio. In
an unprecedented move,
achieving universal access to
voluntary family planning is
being linked with achieving
environmental sustainability more broadly. [Imagine!]
In the context of Rio+20
women and girls are being
given fresh opportunities to
speak out, in their own voices, about what is needed to
maintain a healthy balance
between the environment
and people like themselves.
Rio+20 opens brand new
prospects for us to increase
women’s
empowerment,
generate support for family
planning through an environmental lens, and integrate
gender into the sustainabledevelopment debate.
Linking women, family
planning and sustainable development provides us a so
far under-utilized opportunity to use the Rio+20 process
to move the issues forward
– and actually be transformational. Let’s make sure these
women’s views count, not
only for those policymakers
and governments attending
Rio+20, but for all of us.

Earnhardt Jr.’s win caps career revival

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) —
Dale Earnhardt Jr. had finally
reached Victory Lane again, ending one of the longest stretches
between wins in Sprint Cup history.
He had gone 143 races without finishing first — but not all
of those defeats ended in failure.
Over the last couple years, Earnhardt has methodically worked his
way back among NASCAR’s elite,
to the point where his victory at
Michigan International Speedway
seemed almost inevitable.
It really was only a matter of
time.

“I feel like we are getting stronger,” Earnhardt said. “This year,
we have gotten faster throughout
the year. We started off pretty
quick and we have gotten quicker,
and quicker, especially these last
couple weeks. So that’s been a
thrill for me.”
Earnhardt’s first Cup victory
since 2008 came in convincing
fashion when he beat Tony Stewart by 5.393 seconds Sunday.
When the black Chevrolet with
the green No. 88 crossed the finish line, Earnhardt could stop
answering questions about when
he was going to win again. Now,

he’s a legitimate contender for the
overall series championship.
Earnhardt is second in the
points standings and has been
consistently impressive all year.
“We have a conference meeting
on Tuesday with all of the drivers
and crew chiefs and that will be a
thrill since we won,” Earnhardt
said. “But we have got to start
talking about the next race. We
need to keep our eye on the goal
and, like I said, we’ll enjoy this,
but we are ready for the next opportunity to win one, because this
is fun.”
It was Earnhardt’s 19th Cup vic-

tory and his second in 159 starts
for Hendrick Motorsports. He
had 17 victories in 291 races for
Dale Earnhardt Inc.
In 2009, he averaged a 23rdplace finish, but by last year, that
average was up to 14.5. Sunday
was his 12th top-10 finish in 15
starts this season. He’s second to
Matt Kenseth in the standings.
The victory came almost exactly four years to the day after his
previous win in a Cup race. That
also was in Michigan on June 15,
2008. He led for 36 laps a week
ago at Pocono but made a late
stop for gas instead of trying to

stretch the fuel to the end.
On Sunday, it wasn’t even close
— but Earnhardt was still sweating out the finish, waiting for the
other shoe to drop during the final
moments of the 200-lap race.
“I was in there just going crazy,”
he said. “I just knew I was going
to come around the next corner
and see a piece of metal laying
in the racetrack. I just was waiting on something to happen. That
was terrifying.”
Earnhardt’s 143 races between
wins was the sixth-longest streak
in Sprint Cup history.

Simpson beats
tested champions
for US Open title
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— The U.S. Open yields few
birdies or big celebrations.
At Olympic Club, they
always come in strange
places.
Webb Simpson walked off
the 18th green on a fog-filled
Sunday evening with his
face red and his legs limp,
settling into a corner of the
locker room to recover with
his worried wife and watch
Jim Furyk and Graeme Mc-

Dowell chase his 1-over par
281 on the course.
After a week that restored
the toughest test in golf, this
was not the look or score of
a mediocre man.
This was the 112th U.S.
Open champion.
Simpson saved par from
the collar around the 18th
green and sweated out a
pair of past champions

MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Heat
have been here before, two wins from
an NBA title.
The difference now? LeBron James
isn’t letting his head get in the way of
his talent.
James had 29 points and 14 rebounds, and the Heat took a 2-1 series lead with a 91-85 victory over
the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night.
Miami also won Game 3 of the finals last year, but that was its last victory as the Dallas Mavericks stormed
to the title. It was a painful failure for
James, who looks determined to prevent a similar collapse.
“He had a game where he struggled and he kind of let that get into
his mind a little bit and he was thinking too much. Now he’s playing, he’s
on attack and being very aggressive,”
Dwyane Wade said. “He’s playing
very aggressive and that’s the differ-

ence obviously from last year to this
year, and the difference in our team.”
Wade had 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for the
Heat, who “carry that pain with us”
from last year, according to forward
Chris Bosh.
“We think about it every day and
that really helps us to succeed in this
series,” Bosh said.
James’ poor performance was part
of the problem then, but he seems
on top of his game this time. His
3-pointer sent the Heat to the fourth
quarter with the lead, and he scored
five straight Miami points when the
Heat were building just enough cushion to hold off another late flurry by
the Thunder.
“Just trying to make plays,” James
said. “I told you guys, last year I
didn’t make enough game-changing
plays, and that’s what I kind of pride
myself on. I didn’t do that last year

in the finals. I’m just trying to make
game-changing plays, and whatever
it takes for our team to win, just trying to step up in key moments and be
there for my teammates.”
Game 4 is Tuesday night.
Kevin Durant had 25 points for the
Thunder, but picked up his fourth
foul in the third quarter and had to
go to the bench when they seemed to
have control of the game.
“It was frustrating,” Durant said.
“Of course we had a good lead and
they came back and made some
shots. We fouled shooters on the
3-point line twice. It’s a tough break
for us, man. You know, I hate sitting
on the bench, especially with fouls.”
The Heat survived their own
fourth-quarter sloppiness — nine
turnovers — by getting enough big
plays from their Big Three.
James scored 30 and 32 points in

Baseball’s Roger Clemens
acquitted of all charges
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Former baseball star Roger
Clemens was acquitted
Monday on all charges that
he obstructed and lied to
Congress when he denied
using performance-enhancing drugs as a fast-balling
pitcher.
The trial was lengthy,
the deliberations relatively
brief. Jurors returned their
verdict after close to 10
hours over several days.
The outcome ended a 10week trial that capped an
expensive, five-year investigation into one of the greatest pitchers in the history of
baseball.
Shortly after the verdict
was read, Clemens and his
family engaged in hugs in

the courtroom including
one large group hug. At one
point, wife Debbie Clemens
dabbed Roger Clemens’
eyes with a tissue.
Clemens, 49, was charged
with two counts of perjury,
three counts of making false
statements and one count of
obstructing Congress when
he testified at a deposition
and at a nationally televised
hearing in February 2008.
The charges centered on
his repeated denials that he
used steroids and human
growth hormone during a
24-year career produced
354 wins and a record seven
Cy Young Awards.
The verdict was the latest
blow to the government’s
legal pursuit of athletes ac-

cused of illicit drug use.
A seven-year investigation into home run king
Barry Bonds yielded a
guilty verdict on only one
count of obstruction of justice in a San Francisco court
last year, with the jury deadlocked on whether Bonds
lied to a grand jury when
he denied knowingly taking performance-enhancing
drugs.
A two-year, multicontinent investigation that
looked into possible drug
use by cyclist Lance Armstrong was recently closed
with no charges brought,
though the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency filed formal
accusations last week that
could strip the seven-time

Tour de France winner of
his victories in that storied
race. Armstrong denies any
doping
The Clemens outcome
also comes on the heels of
the Department of Justice’s
failure to gain a conviction
in the high-profile corruption trial of former presidential candidate John Edwards.
In addition, the first attempt to try Clemens last
year ended in a mistrial
when prosecutors played a
snippet of video evidence
that had previously been
ruled inadmissible.
The government’s case
relied heavily on the testiSee ROGER |‌ 10

Win
From Page 6
“Dale had the fastest car
all day,” Stewart said. “It’s
not a national holiday, guys.
This morning they were
celebrating his fourth anniversary of his last win, so I
guess we’re all in a state of
mourning now, because he’s
broke that string now, so I
don’t know what we’re all
supposed to think.”
Like his last victory in
Michigan, this one came on
Father’s Day — fitting for
the driver whose father is

so revered around NASCAR
circles. Dale Earnhardt Sr.
died in a last-lap crash at the
Daytona 500 in 2001. “Junior” is now stock-car racing’s most popular driver.
“They stayed loyal,” he
said. “As soon as I got out
of the car, that was my initial thought — was about
how many people were in
their living rooms screaming at the top of their lungs,
or running out in the yard,
or whatever they do. I just
wish I could see it all at
once.”

Earnhardt moved past
pole winner Marcos Ambrose on lap 70 to take the
lead, and although Stewart
would lead for a bit, Earnhardt was in front again not
long after the race’s halfway
point.
Earnhardt led on lap 171,
after a pitting cycle. With
25 laps remaining, he was
ahead by 1.978 seconds.
With 10 remaining, he had
built a 5.468-second cushion.
The end was almost anticlimactic, and it gave the

team a measure of vindication after Earnhardt played
it safe at Pocono.
“It just proves to us that
our strategy is correct,”
crew chief Steve Letarte
said. “If you bring fast
enough racecars, you don’t
have to get outside your
comfort zone too far.”
After finally winning,
Earnhardt stopped in front
of the grandstand and spun
his wheels in front of thousands of fans who were on
their feet screaming.
Kenseth finished third in

the 400-mile race, which
included eight cautions for
39 laps and a rain delay of
a couple hours at the beginning. After practice and
qualifying speeds soared
over 200 mph on the newly
paved surface at MIS, teams
switched left-side tires for
the actual race.
Earnhardt seemed agitated after a special practice
session Saturday night following the tire switch.
“I was desperate in that
last practice to get something to work,” he said.

“When it ended, I still
wasn’t really sure if we were
where we needed to be. I
woke up this morning, just
antsy, not knowing how this
was going to play out.”
It worked out just fine for
Earnhardt.
“This is incredible,”
Earnhardt said. “I just
didn’t know when it would
happen. I knew it was going
to happen, just didn’t know
when.”

“Arnold has been so good
to me,” Simpson said. “Just
the other day, I read that
story and thought about it.
He’s meant so much to me
and Wake Forest. Hopefully, I can get a little back for
him and make him smile.”
Simpson did his part in
the latest familiar chapter
at a club that dates to 1860.
The North Carolina native emerged from the famous fog that blanketed the
undulating Lake Course to
make four birdies in a fivehole stretch around the turn
on the final day, and convert
a tough par from the thick
grass around the tiny 18th
green. He shot a 2-under 68
that created more pressure
than two tested champions
and a 14-time major winner
wearing red could handle.
Furyk was flawless for
much of the week until he

snap-hooked his tee shot on
the par-5 16th hole to fall
out of the lead for the first
time all day. He never got
it back. Needing a birdie on
the final hole, his approach
landed in the bunker. He
crouched and clamped his
teeth onto the shaft of his
wedge.
Furyk made bogey on the
final hole and closed with a
74.
“I don’t know how to
put that one into words,”
said Furyk, the 2003 U.S.
Open champion at Olympia
Fields outside Chicago, “but
I had my opportunities and
my chances and it was right
there. It was, on that back
nine, it was my tournament
to win and I felt like if I went
out there and shot even par,
1 under, I would have distanced myself from the field.
And I wasn’t able to do so.”

Neither was his playing
partner.
McDowell, the champion
two years ago down the California coast at Pebble Beach,
made four bogeys on the front
nine. The Northern Irishman
at least gave himself a chance
with a 20-foot birdie putt on
the 17th and a shot into the
18th that had him sprinting
up the hill to see what kind of
chance he had.
The putt from about 25
feet stayed left of the hole the
entire way. He settled for a
73 and shared second place
with Michael Thompson,
who closed with a 67 and
waited two hours to see if it
would be good enough.
Tiger Woods, starting five
shots behind, played the first
six holes in 6-over par and
was never a factor. He shot
73 and finished six strokes
back.

“There’s a mixture of emotions inside me,” McDowell
said. “Disappointment, deflation, pride. But mostly, just
frustration.”
That was the kind of week
the U.S. Golf Association delivered.
After Rory McIlroy shattered championship records
last year at rain-softened
Congressional, dry conditions at the Lake Course
in San Francisco restored
“golf’s toughest test” and
then some.
McIlroy, Masters winner Bubba Watson and
top-ranked Luke Donald all
missed the cut. So did last
week’s winner at Memphis,
Dustin Johnson, and 2010
British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen.
Of the last 18 players to tee
off in the final round, Simpson was the only one to break

par. He also was the lone
player to shoot two rounds in
the 60s on the weekend, closing with a pair of 68s.
That didn’t seem likely
when Simpson was six shots
behind as he headed to the
sixth hole, which played the
toughest at Olympic. That’s
where he started his big run.
Simpson’s 7-iron shot landed in the rough and rolled
5 feet away for birdie. He
birdied the next two holes,
including a 15-footer on the
par-3 eighth. And his wedge
shot into the 10th settled 3
feet away, putting him in the
mix for the rest of the day.
“It was a cool day,” Simpson said. “I had a peace all
day. I knew it was a tough
golf course. I probably prayed
more the last three holes than
I ever did in my life.”

Beats
From Page 6
coming the latest to claim
his first major title at a club
that always crowns the guy
nobody expects to win.
“To be honest,” Simpson said, “I never thought
about, and I never really
wrapped my mind around
winning.”
With the history here, he
should have known better.
Olympic Club is called
the “graveyard of champions” for a reason. Proven
major winners who were
poised to win the U.S. Open
— Ben Hogan, Arnold
Palmer, Tom Watson and
Payne Stewart — all lost
out to the underdog. And
all in a painful finish.
Perhaps it was only fitting that the 26-year-old
Simpson went to Wake Forest on a Palmer scholarship.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
June 19, 2012:
This year you are resilient and
capable of changing your life. You
might even choose to head in a new
direction, if you so desire. You also
could opt to revitalize a certain facet of
your life. You experience others’ caring
and receptivity to your ideas and personality. If you are single, you might be
taken aback by someone quite exotic.
Be careful about putting this person on
a pedestal. If you are attached, curb a
tendency to become too me-oriented.
Yes, it is an exciting year, but you also
have a partner to consider. CANCER
is moody at times.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHH Get something off your chest
first thing in the morning, and let a key
person know how you feel; otherwise,
your message will not be as clear.
Matters involving real estate and/or
your domestic life will become prominent in the afternoon. Do not attempt
to postpone an important conversation.
Tonight: As you like.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH Make sure to pay that bill
you’ve been putting off, and verify
that your budget is alive and well. You
quickly could be overwhelmed by calls
and information heading your direction.
Prioritize and perhaps even screen
calls. Be willing to say “no.” Tonight:
Catch up on a friend’s news.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH A new Moon in your
sign announces a change in the near
future. A new beginning becomes possible if you kick back and relax. Think
about what you would like to change.
Have a long-overdue conversation
about a long-term desire. Tonight: A
must show.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You might move slowly in the
morning, but once you get going, no
one can stop you. You have a lot on
your mind, and perhaps you need to
share some random ideas with a key
person in your life. Trust this person’s
feedback. Tonight: All smiles.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Use the morning to the max,
when you draw more positive results.
You could actually pave the way to a
new beginning involving a friendship.
Listen to your instincts. Midday on, you
will have a lot to ponder. Get feedback,
but don’t do any decision-making
today. Tonight: Share news with a

trusted friend.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH You might experience
unexpected pressure or stress in the
morning. Prioritize and focus as soon
as possible. Your organization is
imperative in setting and executing a
plan. Use these abilities to choose the

OSU pays Meyer $4 million,
clearer on violations

Joe Kay

Associated Press

Ohio State is paying football coach Urban Meyer a
minimum of $4 million annually — more money than
his predecessor — and detailing in the contract what
he’s required to do if an
NCAA rules violation occurs under his watch.
The university completed
details of Meyer’s contract
and released it on Monday.
The school’s board of trustees is expected to approve it
later in the week.
The deal runs through
the 2017 season and keeps
the Buckeyes football coach
among the top five nationally in compensation. Meyer
was hired last November to
rebuild the program, which
got a one-year bowl ban for
NCAA rules violations under former coach Jim Tressel.
Meyer’s contract guarantees him at least $4 million
annually — up from Tressel’s $3.8 million — with a
chance to make significantly
more through bonuses,
youth camps and other compensation. It includes perks
common for football coaches
at major universities — golf
club membership, car stipends, tickets and a suite
for home football games, use
of private jets for recruiting
and personal trips.
Meyer will get more than
twice as much in guaranteed
money as Ohio State President Gordon Gee, who is
one of the best-compensated
university presidents.
One main difference from
Tressel’s deal: Meyer’s contract goes into greater detail
about what he must do if he
becomes aware there is a
potential violation of NCAA
rules.
“Given the circumstances
we had, we felt it was important to put provisions in

game in Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, April 21, 2012. The Scarlet
team defeated the Gray team 20-14.

television shows; and $1.4
million annually as part of
the school’s contract with
Nike.
He’ll get a $1,200 monthly
stipend toward two cars.
Meyer also gets full membership and monthly dues
at a Columbus-area golf
club paid by the school. The
contract provides 12 tickets
for the lower bowl for each
home football game, plus use
of a suite for his family and
friends, and parking passes.
Meyer gets a private jet
when he goes on recruiting trips or school business
more than 200 miles from
campus. He can also use a
private jet on the school’s tab
for 35 hours each year.
The deal includes employment bonuses of $450,000 in
2014, $750,000 in 2016 and
$1.2 million when the deal
ends after the 2018 season.
Even though Ohio State
can’t go to a bowl game
this season because of rule
violations under Tressel,
Meyer can still earn a bowl
bonus.
The contract includes
a $50,000 bonus if Ohio
State wins its Big Ten division title, and an additional
$100,000 if it wins the
league championship.

there to make sure the right
safeguards are in place on
both sides,” said athletic
director Gene Smith in a
phone interview. “That’s
been strengthened and
beefed up.”
Tressel was forced out
because he didn’t tell anyone that he received a tip
about some players violating NCAA rules. The NCAA
gave Ohio State a bowl ban
for this season as a result
of violations that included
eight players taking $14,000
in cash and tattoos in exchange for jerseys, rings and
other memorabilia.
Meyer’s contract provides
more specifics on how he is
expected to handle a possible violation.
“It’s more the message
than anything, to make sure
that he’s communicative,
does the right paperwork,
makes the right decisions,”
Smith said. “It’s more tying
that down.”
His 30-page contract
provides base salaries of
$700,000; a one-time “transition” payment of $250,000;
annual contributions of
$40,000 to a defined contribution plan; $1,850,000
annually for media responsibilities, including radio and

Roger
From Page 6
mony of Clemens’ longtime strength coach, Brian
McNamee, who testified
he injected Clemens with
steroids in 1998, 2000 and
2001 and with HGH in
2000. McNamee produced
a needle and other materials he said were from a steroids injection of Clemens
in 2001, items that McNamee said he stored in and
around a Miller Lite beer
can inside a FedEx box for
some six years.
But McNamee was the
only person to claim firsthand knowledge of Clemens using steroids and
HGH, and even prosecutors
conceded their star witness was a “flawed man.”
Clemens’ lawyers relentlessly attacked McNamee’s
credibility and integrity.
They pointed out that his
story had changed over the
years and implied that he
conjured up the allegations
against Clemens to placate
federal investigators.
Some items associated
with the beer can were
found to have Clemens’
DNA and steroids, but the
defense called the evidence
“garbage” and claimed it
had been contaminated or
manipulated by McNamee.
Other evidence offered

tenuous links between Clemens and performanceenhancing drugs. Former
teammate Andy Pettitte
recalled a conversation in
which Clemens supposedly
admitted using HGH, but
Pettitte said under cross-examination that there was a
“50-50” chance that he had
misheard.
Convicted drug dealer
Kirk Radomski supplied
McNamee with HGH for a
starting pitcher and even
sent a shipment to Clemens’
house under McNamee’s
name, but Radomski had no
way of knowing if any of the
HGH was specifically used
on Clemens. The pitcher’s
wife, Debbie, admitted receiving an HGH shot from
McNamee, but she and McNamee differed over when
the injection occurred and
whether Clemens was present.
Clemens’ lawyers contended that the pitcher’s
success resulted from a second-to-none work ethic and
an intense workout regimen
dating to his high school
days. They said that Clemens was indeed injected by
McNamee — but that the
needles contained the vitamin B12 and the anesthetic
lidocaine and not performance-enhancing drugs.
Monday’s verdict is un-

likely to settle the matter in
sports circles as to whether
Clemens cheated in the latter stages of a remarkable
career that extended well
into his 40s — during a period in which performanceenhancing drug use in
baseball was thought to be
prevalent. Clemens himself
told Congress at the 2008
hearing that “no matter
what we discuss here today,
I’m never going to have my
name restored.”
A crucial barometer
comes next year, when
Clemens’ name appears on
the Hall of Fame ballot for
the first time. His statistics
would normally make him a
shoo-in for baseball’s greatest honor, but voters have
been reluctant to induct
premier players — such as
Mark McGwire and Rafael
Palmeiro — whose careers
were tainted by allegations
of drug use.
Clemens capped an outstanding career with agedefying performances well
into his 40s. He went 18-4
and won his seventh Cy
Young Award at the age of
41, and the next year posted a career-best 1.87 ERA.
His 4,672 strikeouts ranked
third in baseball history.

other minute went by before James powered to the
basket, Durant trying to get
in position to draw a charge
but watching helplessly as
he picked up his fifth foul.
James made the free throw
for an 84-77 advantage with
3:47 to play.
After another basket by
James, the Thunder had
one last burst — haven’t
they always in this series?
— ripping off six straight
points to get within one
before Bosh made a pair
of free throws with 1:19 to
play. Durant missed badly
on a wild shot attempt, and
the Thunder missed another chance when Westbrook
was off from behind the arc.
James hit a free throw for a
four-point lead with 16 seconds to go and Wade added
two to close it out.
“Last year I don’t know if
we was experienced enough
as a unit to deal with what
came at us,” Wade said. “I
just feel like we understand
the situations more and we
can deal with it better.”
The Thunder were just 4
of 18 on 3-pointers and hit
only 15 of 24 free throws,
unusually awful numbers
for one of the league’s best
offensive teams. Harden,
the Sixth Man of the Year,
shot 2 of 10 for his nine
points. Westbrook finished
with 19 points.
After a split of the first
two games, the series made
its way from Oklahoma City,
where fans in blue shirts
filled every seat, to Miami,
where white shirts hung on
empty chairs just minutes
before the tip. The late arrivals in Oklahoma City
had been the Thunder players, who fell into big early
deficits and acknowledged
some first-time finals jitters
in Game 1. Brooks said he
heard the cries to change
his starting lineup but said
it never crossed his mind.
The Thunder quickly fell
behind 10-4 in this one after
spotting the Heat a 13-point
lead in Game 1 and getting
clubbed into an 18-2 hole
in the opening minutes of
Game 2. They didn’t let
things get any worse this
time, playing the Heat even
from there and trailing 26-

20 after one. James, Wade
and Bosh combined for Miami’s first 18 points.
James and Wade had
some dazzling drives in the
second and Shane Battier
got free for a pair of 3-pointers in the final 2 minutes,
but the Thunder stayed
with them the entire way,
briefly holding a three-point
lead. Westbrook’s 3-pointer
with 2.3 seconds left cut Miami’s lead to 47-46.
Oklahoma City started to
take control with a 14-2 run
early in the third. Durant
had the first four points,
and Westbrook fooled the
Heat with a fake behind the
back pass before sneaking
in for a layup. Then Durant
leaped over James for a follow dunk before nailing a
jumper for a 60-51 lead with
6:55 left in the period.
But it was barely a minute later when he drew his
fourth foul. The Thunder
pushed the lead to 10 on
Derek Fisher’s four-point
play, but the Heat got right
back in it when Battier and
then Jones made all six free
throws after being fouled
behind the arc.
Brooks also pulled Westbrook with 5 minutes left
and left him out the remainder of the period, leaving
the Thunder without their
two best players as they
tried to hang onto the lead.
They couldn’t.
The Heat scored the final
seven of the period, Wade
making a turnaround jumper and two free throws before setting up James for a
3-pointer that made it 69-67
headed to the final quarter.
NOTES: Battier had
made at least four 3-pointers
in three straight games. The
last player to make four in
four consecutive postseason
games was Orlando’s Dennis Scott in 1995. … Brooks,
joking Sunday morning
about all the calls to change
his lineup: “It’s hard to take
all the advice,” he said. “I’m
only allowed three bench assistant coaches.”

Heat
From Page 6
the first two games,
his two best finals performances. He fell just shy of
another 30-point effort but
reached 20 points for the
20th time this postseason,
two shy of Wade’s franchise
record set in 2006.
Gone is the player who
seemed so tentative down
the stretch last year in his
second finals failure. He’s
constantly on the attack
now, all while defending
Durant in key situations.
“He was great. He’s been
great for us all playoffs,”
Heat forward Udonis Haslem said. “I don’t know if
he looks up at the clock or
score sheet, but he knows
when we need him to make
big plays and come through
for us, and he comes
through.”
Bosh had 10 points and
11 rebounds for the Heat,
who can win a second title
by winning the next two
games at home. That’s what
they did in 2006, one of just
two home teams to sweep
the middle three games in
the 2-3-2 format.
They seemed out of
it when Oklahoma City
opened a 10-point lead midway through the third. But
Durant had picked up his
fourth foul with 5:41 left
on Wade’s baseline drive,
though there appeared to be
little or no contact. Thunder coach Scott Brooks
decided to sit Russell Westbrook with him, and the
Heat charged into the lead
by the end of the period.
Westbrook looked angry
going to the bench, but denied any frustration afterward.
“Nah, man. I mean,
coach’s decision,” Westbrook said. “Got to live with
it.”
The Thunder grabbed
their last lead at 77-76 on
James Harden’s basket with
7:32 left. James answered
with two free throws about
20 seconds later, and the
teams would trade turnovers and stops over the
next couple of tense minutes.
Wade then converted a
three-point play, and an-
