Chester Shade Days deliver festival fun
Charlene Hoeflich
choeflich@mydailysentinel.com
CHESTER — There was
something fun for everyone
at the annual Chester Shade
Days festival Saturday
which featured a variety of
competitions and contests,
along with lots of gospel
music, flavorful foods, and
historic displays.
Always a highlight of
the festival is the competition for the title of Ohio’s
Champion
Harmonica
Player which this year went
to 16-year-old Garrison Hagler of Powell. Second place
winner was Ivan Lindsey of
Delaware, last year’s champion. Third place was won
by Jim Rambaugh of Huntington, W.Va. and fourth to
Ray Stith of Point Pleasant,
W. Va.
For this 15th anniversary
of the harmonica championship contest, the Home
National Bank of Racine
donated money for the cash
prizes and t-shirts which
went to the winners. The
prizes were $300 for first,
$150 for second, $75 for
third, and $25 for fourth.
An old fashioned singalong with the harmonica
players being joined by
members of the Buckeye
State Harmonica Club of
Columbus,was held under
the tent pitched on The
Commons near the 1823 restored Chester Courthouse.
The day also featured an
afternoon of gospel music
from about 10 different
groups.
Holding to tradition,
“Meigs Finest, ” the oldest
man and oldest woman attending, were recognized
and presented certificates.
They were John Bailey
who will be 100 on Aug.
31, and Cleo Smith, who
was celebrating her 83rd
birthday that day. They
each received as a gift a
book of their own selection
from the collection of C.
Stephen Badgley, a former
Meigs County native, who
has Badgley Publishing Co.
in Canal Winchester, and a
gift of apple butter from Pat
Holter who was in charge of
the contest.
Chloe Bissell took first
place in the “best dog” contest with her dog Jack, a
golden doodle. She received
$25 and a blue ribbon.
Cornhole contests were
held for both kids and adult
with cash prizes going to
the winners. Conner Ridenour and Wyatt Bissell were
the top winners in the kids’
contest. In the adult contest, the prize winners were

Marauder fans, parents and players braved an early evening rain on Friday to catch a glimpse of the new football field at Meigs
High School. An open house at Farmers Bank Stadium Holzer Field located just behind Meigs High School brought young and
old alike to the new facility which will host its first game on August 24. Despite the weather, hundreds turned out — umbrellas
in hand — to see the new home of the Meigs Marauders.
Fans brave rain to view new stadium
COLUMBUS — Luke
McDaniel, of Meigs County,
has been selected as Connect Ohio’s newest Broadband Hero award recipient.
McDaniel was recognized
by Connect Ohio Executive
Director Stu Johnson at the
state quarterly Technology
Association Meeting Friday,
July 20, in Columbus, for his
efforts in bringing attention
to the need for high-speed
Internet access to the volunteer fire department in
Bashan.
In 2010, the volunteer
fire department in Bashan,
Ohio, had dial-up Internet
access, which wasn’t sufficient to meet the needs of
the firefighters. According
to McDaniel, the Internet
capabilities were not functional and were like having
no service at all.
“Three (firefighters) lost
their fire certification because they had no Internet
here and the state certification had to be completed
online,” said McDaniel during a 2011 interview with
Connect Ohio. McDaniel is
a former volunteer firefighter of the department.
McDaniel approached the
Wireless Internet Service
Provider for the area, New
Era Broadband, LLC, looking for a solution. According
to David Hannum, of New
Era Broadband, the company had recently expanded
Luke McDaniel
to nearby McKenzie Ridge,
but because Bashan was in
a low-lying area, the town
was not able to receive the
Internet signal. Through a
collaborative effort between
Connect Ohio’s technical
outreach staff, a partial
grant from the Governor’s
Office of Appalachia, the
Meigs County Community
Investment
Corporation,
New Era Broadband, and a
few Bashan residents willing to have trees removed
or equipment mounted on
their property, Hannum was
able to relay the Wi-Fi signal from one of their Access
Point’s nearby to a receiver
atop the fire department’s
building. The relay system
has worked well for the fire
department for the past
two years and also offers
high-speed Internet access
to a handful of nearby residences.
“Now, we can communicate with the State. Our firefighters are in compliance
and staying in touch,” said
McDaniel.

FAC seeks submissions for community photography exhibit
Staff Report
mdtnews@mydailytribune.com
GALLIPOLIS — The
French Art Colony (FAC),
regional multi-arts center in
Gallipolis, Ohio, is seeking
submission of framed photos of our region for a community photography exhibit, “Scenes of Our River
Communities”, scheduled
for the month of August.
Professional and amateur
are asked to celebrate the
beauty of our region by sub-
mitting photography of our
local landscapes, architecture and landmarks. Joseph
Wright, FAC executive director, explains the concept
for the show.
“Many of our friends

magic of the Ohio River
Valley’s change of seasons,
rich culture and vibrant
heritage,” said Wright.

share these images with
our community in this
one-of-a-kind exhibition.”
The exhibit is open to

pieces must remain in the
galleries for the duration of
the exhibit. The exhibit will
be on display from August 3
through August 26. Admission is free.
Photographers may submit up to three pieces for
the show. The FAC curator will hang the show. All
works will be displayed, as
space allows.

Shooting suspect in court
with orange-red hair
CENTENNIAL,
Colo.
(AP) — His hair dyed orange-red and a dazed look
on his face, the man accused
of going on a deadly shooting rampage at the opening
of the new Batman movie
appeared Monday in court
for the first time.
An unshaven, handcuffed
James Holmes, 24, sat in
maroon jailhouse jumpsuit
as the judge advised him
of the case. Holmes sat motionless, his eyes appearing
tired and drooping.
At one point, he closed
his eyes as the judge spoke.
Prosecutors said later they
didn’t know if Holmes was
on medication. Authorities
have said he is being held in
isolation at the jail.
Holmes didn’t speak once
during the hearing. His attorneys answered for him
when the judge asked if he
understood his rights. One
woman’s eyes welled up
with tears during the hearing.
Police say Holmes, clad in
body armor and armed with
an assault rifle, a shotgun
and handguns opened fire at
a midnight showing of “The
Dark Knight Rises,” killing
12 people and wounding 58
others.
He was arrested shortly
after the Friday shooting.
He is refusing to cooperate,
authorities say. They said it
could take months to learn
what prompted the attack
on the moviegoers.
Holmes was brought over
from the Arapahoe County detention facility and
walked into the courtroom
with attorneys and others.
He sat down in a jury
box, seated next to one of
his attorneys. His entrance
was barely noticeable but
relatives of shooting victims
leaned forward in their seats
to catch their first glimpse
of him.
Some stared at him the
entire hearing, including
Tom Teves, the father of
Alex Teves, who was killed
in the shooting. Two women
held hands tightly, one shaking her head.
After the hearing, prosecutor Carol Chambers said
that “at this point, everyone
is interested in a fair trial
with a just outcome for everybody involved.”
Chambers earlier Monday said her office is considering pursuing the death
penalty against Holmes.
She said a decision will be
made in consultation with
victims’ families.
David Sanchez, who waited outside the courthouse
during Holmes’ hearing,
said his pregnant daughter
escaped uninjured but her
husband was shot in the
head and was in critical
condition.
“When it’s your own
daughter and she escaped
death by mere seconds, I
want to say it makes you
angry,” Sanchez said.
Sanchez said his daughter, 21-year-old Katie Medely, and her husband,
Caleb, 23, had been waiting for a year to watch the
movie.
Asked what punishment
Holmes should get if convicted, Sanchez said, “I
think death is.”
Holmes is expected to be
formally charged next Monday. Holmes is being held
on suspicion of first-degree
murder, and he could also
face additional counts of
aggravated assault and
weapons violations.
Holmes has been assigned a public defender.

Our pro-coal president
Leo Gerard
Coal miners wake up
before the sun rises, travel
miles into the darkness of
mountains and with only a
lamp on their helmets help
power our country. They
have a dangerous job, and
they deserve a president
who fights for them.
Our economy is stronger
when workers receive good
wages and benefits, which
is why President Barack
Obama has rolled back
harmful labor regulations
and policies designed to undermine collective bargaining.
Critics charge that recently enacted emission limits
hurt the coal industry, but
coal-mining jobs nationwide
reached a 15-year-high last
year, with the industry employing more than 90,000
workers. Coal-mining jobs
in Pennsylvania are up more
than five percent.
Mr. Obama is committed
to protecting clean air and
clean water for our families
while also helping the coal
industry. That is why he
promotes clean-coal technologies to ensure that the
industry remains competitive.
The president wants
mine workers who clock
in each day to stay safe on
the job. His administration
has launched an inspection
program that targets mines
with patterns of violations,
and it’s paid off. Between
2010 and February 2012,
the injury rate at inspected
mines dropped by 18 percent. Last year saw the
second-lowest number of
mine worker fatalities since
such statistics have been recorded.
Let’s also not forget that
Mr. Obama’s health care
law is a Godsend to longtime miners with black lung
disease who no longer have
to prove a direct cause to
help their families get the
benefits they deserve.
Of course, it’s not enough
to produce good jobs today.
We need to invest in the
long-term security of the
coal industry so that mine
workers don’t have to wonder whether they will have a
job to support their families
next year, or the year after
that.
With countries like China
and Germany competing
with us to lead the global
clean-energy economy, Mr.
Obama is making the most
significant investments in
clean coal of any president
in history. His administration is partnering with businesses and universities on
clean-coal projects in more
than a dozen states and
plans to rapidly deploy new
technology.
The goal is to have five
to 10 commercial-scale,
low- carbon-power-plant
demonstration
projects
online by 2016 and to have
the technology become
widespread within a decade. The manufacturing
of clean-coal technologies
is already supporting supply chain jobs in the United
States. Facilities are making investments and hiring
workers to manufacture
components for clean-coal
projects and to supply electricity to utilities.
Mr. Obama has been
working to build a clean
future for coal, but Mitt
Romney abandoned the interests of coal miners and
utility workers as governor
of Massachusetts by attacking their “dirty power
plants,” refusing to protect
their jobs and even declaring that a Massachusetts
coal plant “kills people.”
He claimed to enforce strict
regulations on coal-fired
plants — in his words,
“without compromise.”
Mr. Romney also would
re-institute policies that are
harmful to labor and that
would weaken federal protection of the right to collectively bargain. By attacking coal jobs as governor,
refusing to help the coal
industry stay competitive
and deriding labor unions,
Mr. Romney dismisses what
coal means to our economy
and the economic security of mine workers across
America.
What does Mr. Romney’s
hostile record toward coal
say to our miners? And
how does it compare to Mr.
Obama’s?
Here’s what the president
said as the nation mourned
the loss of 29 coal miners
at the Upper Big Branch
mine in West Virginia two
years ago: “Day after day,
they would burrow into the
coal, the fruits of their labor, what so often we take
for granted: the electricity
that lights up a convention
center; that lights up our
church, or our home, our
school, our office; the energy that powers our country;
the energy that powers the
world.”

Steelworkers.
Empower, don’t punish, job creators
Rep. Bill Johnson (OH-6)
There are many serious
problems in Washington: the
Senate refuses to consider
a budget, the national debt
continues to balloon, spending on food stamps and other
social programs have skyrocketed, and the prospect
of massive defense cuts has
ended America’s ability to
successfully fight a two front
war – the foundation of our
defense strategy since World
War II. But maybe the most
troubling and far-reaching
problem in Washington now
is the Obama Administration’s treatment, through
its policies and its rhetoric,
of small business owners –
America’s job creators.
Small businesses serve as
the engine of our economy
creating more than 60 percent of new jobs. They are
manufacturers, restaurants,
service stations, construction companies, high-tech
startups– they are America’s
innovators. They are risk takers. They create goods and
provide services that people
want. They employ tens of
millions of Americans. And
they are hurting. They are
hurting because this Administration is regulating them
into the ground.
According to the Heri-
tage Foundation, President
Obama has imposed new
regulations on job creators
costing them $46 billion annually on a variety of goods
and services ranging from air
conditioners, refrigerators,
freezers, car emissions, product labeling, higher minimum
wages for foreign workers
and health care mandates
under Obamacare. Not surprisingly, the most expensive
regulations come from the
President’s EPA which cost
businesses an additional $4
billion annually.
And if these regulatory burdens and federal mandates
aren’t enough, the President
and some in Congress want
to raise taxes on job creators
that are finding ways to succeed. A recent Ernst & Young
analysis of President Obama’s
proposed tax hike indicates
that the tax will hit thousands
of small businesses, costing our economy more than
700,000 jobs. Why would we
punish successful businesses?
Why would we make it harder for them to expand, invest
and hire more people?
We may have gotten that
unfortunate answer from
the President last week. In
a recent speech, President
Obama stated that, “If you’re
successful, you didn’t get
there on your own.” He went

got a business, you didn’t
build that. Somebody else
made that happen.” I meet
with small business owners
regularly. I know that many
small business owners work
long hours, weekends, borrow against their mortgage,
skip paying themselves so
they can meet payroll for
their employees and then
pay the taxes that fund the
roads, bridges, schools and
fire departments in their
community. The President’s
statements show, at best, a
complete lack of understanding how America’s economy
works. At worst, it shows a
callous disregard for job creators and taxpayers.
There is much to fix in
Washington, but freeing our
job creators should be the
top priority. The President
should reconvene his White
House Jobs Counsel that was
charged with developing recommendations to spur job
growth (which hasn’t met
for six months), overhaul the
regulatory process, scrap all
plans for tax hikes and begin
to work to create an environment where small businesses
can focus on innovating and
growing again rather than
complying with federal mandates, higher taxes and even
more red tape.
Most Americans want to
cut US military spending
Lawrence S. Wittner
On some issues, there is a
serious disconnect between
candidates for public office
and the public they are hoping
to represent.
Take the case of Mitt Romney and military spending.
For some time now, the
Republican presidential candidate has been an avid proponent of a vast U.S. military
buildup. Last October, in a
speech at the Citadel, he promised that he would never “wave
the white flag of surrender”
but, rather, devote himself to
creating “an American Century.” This would be secured, he
explained, by a hefty increase
in U.S. armaments. In terms of
U.S. warships alone, he promised to raise annual production by 67 percent. Attacking
President Barack Obama for
what he claimed was military
weakness, Romney called for
increasing the U.S. military
budget, in fiscal 2013, by 17
percent. Indeed, he has proposed raising U.S. military
spending by as much as $2 trillion over the next decade.
This military obsession
comes at a curious time. After all, the U.S. military budget — currently standing at
$648.6 billion — has risen dramatically over the last thirteen
years and is the largest in U.S.
history. Currently, U.S. military
spending constitutes nearly as
much money as the military
spending of all other countries
combined. Furthermore, in
the context of severe budget
cutting by Congress, popular
domestic social programs are
being sacrificed to support
the U.S. military budget — so
much so that it currently consumes more than half of the
U.S. government’s discretionary spending.
Even the Republican-dominated House of Representatives
seems to recognize that the time
has come for cuts — and not increases — in military spending.
On July 19, 2012, it voted 326
to 90 for a budget that reduced
U.S. military spending (earmarked for the Defense Department and for current wars) to
$606 billion in fiscal year 2013.
If liberals and critics of the Af-
Congress shall make no law

religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the

ghan War had had their way,
the military budget would have
been cut still further. And, if the
threatened budget sequestration
takes place, it will be cut more
substantially.
Indeed, the idea of cutting
the huge U.S. military budget
seems to enjoy considerable
popularity among Americans.
In May 2012, a survey of U.S.
public opinion by the Stimson
Center, the Program for Public
Consultation, and the Center
for Public Integrity found that
76 percent of respondents favored slashing U.S. military
expenditures. This included 80
percent of respondents in districts that elected Democrats
and 74 percent in districts that
elected Republicans.
Even in districts with the
heaviest military spending —
and, thus, presumably benefiting from its economic impact
— three quarters of the public
favored reducing the military
budget. “The idea that Americans … want to keep total defense spending up so as to preserve local jobs is not supported
by the data,” reported Dr. Steven Kull, director of the Program for Public Consultation,
a survey group associated with
the University of Maryland.
By contrast, support for
increasing military spending
— so fervently backed by Romney — stood at only 4 percent
in Democratic districts and 15
percent in Republican districts.
Even more striking, the average cut in such spending favored by the American public
was very substantial: $103.5
billion.
Part of the explanation for
this widespread approval of
deep cuts in the military budget probably reflects the fact
that the participants were
well informed. Before taking
the survey, the respondents
received detailed information
about that budget and had the
chance to read numerous arguments for and against it.
But other recent polls, done
without the provision of such
information, also indicate substantial restlessness at the level
of U.S. military spending. Earlier this year, asked to choose
which of three programs —
Medicare, Social Security, or
the military — should receive
lower funding “in order to cut
government spending,” 52
percent of Americans chose
the military, 15 percent chose
Medicare, and 13 percent
chose Social Security.
Surveys in 2011 had similar
findings. Several CBS/New
York Times polls revealed that,
when it came to budget cuts,
45-55 percent of respondents
preferred targeting the military, 16-21 percent preferred
targeting Medicare, and 13-17
percent preferred targeting Social Security.
Other polls taken in 2011
also indicated Americans’ willingness to cut U.S. military
spending. That September, a
National Journal poll asked
Americans whether they favored a plan for “reducing the
growth of defense spending
by about $350 billion over 10
years.” In response, 55 percent
said they did. Another poll
that September, by the Kaiser
Foundation, found 67 percent
approval for some reduction
in the defense budget, with 28
percent supporting a major reduction and 39 percent a minor
reduction. In October, a Washington Post/Bloomberg poll of
Americans asked whether they
supported or opposed “reducing military spending” to help
cope with the U.S. budget deficit. Fifty-one percent expressed
their support and 41 percent
their opposition.
Overall, as Dr. Kull and
other opinion analysts have
concluded, there is substantial
support among Americans for
cutting the U.S. military budget, especially when the public
is provided with relevant information and a choice of alternatives.
Of course, there are hawkish
elements within the American
public, as well as powerful defense contractors, that champion a U.S. military buildup. But
Romney’s militarism seems
unlikely to fire up many Americans outside their ranks.

Jury selection to start in Drew Peterson trial
JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Jury selection
is to begin Monday in Drew Peterson’s
long-delayed murder trial, in which
prosecutors want the former suburban
Chicago police officer’s wives to effectively testify from their graves about
his threats to kill them.
Peterson, 58, is charged with killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in
2004. Her body was found in a dry
bathtub in her home, her hair soaked
with blood. The ex-Bolingbrook police
sergeant also is a suspect in the 2007
disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, although he has not been
charged.
The jurors are also likely to hear
statements that the wives allegedly
made to friends and relatives about
threats Peterson made. Such hearsay
is usually barred, but an appellate
court ruled jurors can hear the statements.
Will County Judge Edward Burmila will vet would-be jurors starting
Monday. A 200-person jury has been
waiting three years for a trial to get
under way. It was put off because of
appellate court battles over the hearsay statements.
“I’ve never heard of anything comparable to this — a jury pool waiting
around for so long knowing what case
they’re going to be in and the reliance
on hearsay,” said Gal Pissetzky, a Chicago defense lawyer with no link to
the case.
Peterson was nervous but confident
as he prepared to stand trial, said his
lead attorney, Joel Brodsky.
“It’s probably the most important
event in his life,” the attorney said.
“(But) Kathleen died in a household
accident and there’s nothing more
than that.”
In fact, jurors are likely to hear from
a parade of pathologists who will dispute each others’ conclusions about
how the 40-year-old Savio died. They
will hear about her death being ruled
an accident, her body being exhumed
after 23-year-old Stacy Peterson’s
disappearance and the autopsy after
which her cause of death was changed
from accidental to homicide — and
the continued dispute over those find-
ings.
The legal saga surrounding Peterson and whether he used his status
as a police officer to try to get away
with murder has attracted national attention. Rob Lowe portrayed Peterson
in a 2011 TV movie, “Drew Peterson:
Untouchable.”
Vetting would-be jurors typically
takes a few days, but extra time is
sometimes required in high-profile
cases to weed out those who come in
with well-formed opinions. Opening
statements at Peterson’s trial in Joliet
are slated for next Tuesday.
The defense raised concerns that
some prospective jurors may have
violated orders to avoid all news about
Peterson. Among the questions in the
25-page questionnaire jurors filled out
was whether or not they saw the TV
movie, as well as what kind of newspapers they read, Brodsky, said Monday
outside the courthouse.
Pissetzky wonders if those in the
jury pool succumbed to temptations
to peek at the news or search online
about the case.

Santo, Larkin inducted into Baseball Hall of Fame
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.
(AP) — On a day that
Vicki Santo wished had
come sooner, sadness that
it hadn’t never showed as
she spoke of the greatness
of her late husband.
“Words cannot express
my sorrow that Ron Santo
didn’t live to see this day,
that he’s not here to give
this speech,” she said Sunday as her husband, a star
third baseman with the
Chicago Cubs and later a
beloved broadcaster for the
team, was inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame and
Museum along with former
Cincinnati Reds star Barry
Larkin. “Believe me when I
tell you I’d rather have Ron
up here than me, but rest
assured that he’s laughing
at my expense to see me
squirm a little bit.
“This is not a sad day, not
at all. This is a very happy
day,” Vicki Santo said. “It’s
an incredible day for an incredible man, a man who
lived an extraordinary life
to its fullest. Indeed, he had
a wonderful life.”
From Bill Mazeroski’s
amazingly short, tear-filled
acceptance speech to Phil
Rizzuto’s rambling recollec-
tion of his life on and off the
diamond, baseball’s highest
honor always seems to produce a special impression
on those directly involved.
This day was no different.
“This is unbelievable —
un-stinking
believable!”
the normally reserved
Larkin said as he took the
podium for his induction
speech after fighting back
tears watching his teenage
daughter, Cymber, sing the
national anthem.
Ron Santo didn’t live to
experience the day he always dreamed of. Plagued
by health problems, he died
Dec. 3, 2010, at the age of
70. His long battle with
diabetes cost him both legs
below the knees, but he ultimately died of complications from bladder cancer.
A member of the Chicago
Cubs organization for the
better part of five decades
as a player (1960-74) and
broadcaster (1990-2010),
Santo was selected by the
Veterans Committee in December, exactly one year
after his death.
Vicki Santo said she cried
a lot while practicing her
speech. Her poise was re-
markable when it counted
most.
“It just feels right, a perfect ending to a remarkable
journey,” she said. “I’m certain that Ronnie is celebrating right now.”
So, too were his beloved
Cubs. They paid a tribute of
their own to Santo, clicking
their heels as they jumped
over the third-base line to
start the bottom of the first
inning at St. Louis.
In 15 major league seasons, all but one with the
Cubs, Santo evolved into
one of the top third basemen in major league history
while hiding his illness for a
decade because he thought
somebody might take baseball from him if they found
out.
Even though he monitored his condition in
warm-ups before games and
never told his teammates
about his daily injections,
Santo excelled, compiling a
.277 batting average, 2,254
hits, 1,331 RBIs and 365
doubles in 2,243 games.
He also was a tireless fundraiser for juvenile diabetes,
raising more than $65 million before his death.

Jackets trade
Nash to Rangers
for 3 players
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The New York Rangers have
a new star forward.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have one less headache and
three more quality players.
The Blue Jackets finally met captain Rick Nash’s mid-season request and dealt him on Monday along with a thirdround pick and a minor-league defenseman to the Rangers
for centers Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov, defenseman Tim Erixon and a first-round pick next year.
The deal gives the Rangers a big, sturdy right wing to
add to their core of solid young players and also helps them
counter moves made by other Eastern Conference powers
this offseason. Nash will join a New York offense that includes captain Ryan Callahan, Brad Richards and Marian
Gaborik.
The Rangers were the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference last season and just missed out on the Presidents’ Trophy for most regular-season points. New York defeated Ottawa and Washington in the playoffs before losing to New
Jersey in the conference finals in six games. Nash immediately improves their credentials and gets them — on paper,
at least — closer to their first Stanley Cup since 1994.
The Blue Jackets, meanwhile, ended months of speculation about what they would do after Nash went to management in January and asked to be traded. He later said, in a
curious bit of logic, that one of his main goals was making
the Blue Jackets stronger.
“The biggest thing is that when management said
when they were going to make a rebuild and a reshape, I
thought the best thing for the team and the organization
would be to get assets for me,” he said. “And I thought

Police officers surround the Joe Paterno statue before its removal outside of Beaver Stadium on Sunday, July 22, 2012, in
State College, Pennsylvania.
Penn State football program
slammed with NCAA sanctions
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — No
death penalty. More like slow death.
Wiped out in the record book.
Wiped out in the wallet. Wiped out
in the ability to recruit, and keep
what it already has.
Penn State got slammed by the
NCAA on Monday in every way.
The governing body of college
sports took away 14 years of coach
Joe Paterno’s victories and imposed
a mountain of fines and penalties,
crippling a program whose pedophile assistant coach spent years
molesting children, sometimes on
school property.
The sanctions imposed by the
NCAA on Monday also include fines
of $60 million, orders for Penn State
to sit out the postseason for four
years, capped scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years
Olympic opener will be
spectacular but not secret
LONDON (AP) — The London Olympics opening ceremony will be a grand spectacle —
but will it be a surprise?
In a word, no.
Director Danny Boyle wants
the details to stay secret and
games chief Sebastian Coe has
pleaded for insiders to stop leaking details of the extravaganza.
But in the age of camera phones
and social media, with 10,000
performers in the ceremony,
thousands of Olympic security
and staff and more than 10,000
journalists already at the Olympic Park, not much can be kept
out of the public domain.
“Part of the modern world
means you can’t really do that,”
Boyle acknowledged about
keeping secrets as he showed
journalists a mock-up of the set
for the opening scene of the ceremony, weeks before the event.
So, a spoiler alert: Stop reading now if you want Friday’s
opening ceremony to be a surprise. Stop, stop, stop.
But if you are as irresistibly
curious as the rest of us, well,
prepare for everything from
James Bond to Lord Voldemort
to a spoonful of sugar.
Boyle has revealed only selected details about the show,
But since the performers started rehearsals in June at the
Olympic Stadium — and an
army of journalists started arriving to cover the July 27-Aug.
12 games — a trickle of details
about the 27 million pound ($42
million) opening ceremony has
become a torrent.
The leaks became too much
for Coe, who tweeted: “Share
the frustration of volunteer performers and the public at Opening Ceremony being unofficially
trailed. Let’s (hash)savethesurprise.”
His imploring hashtag fell on
deaf ears. Still more information
emerged.
So what do we know?
The ceremony’s theme is
“Isles of Wonder,” inspired by
William Shakespeare’s play

and placed football on five years’
probation.
Current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer
and compete at another school.
The NCAA’s sanctions following
the worst scandal in the history of
college football stopped short of delivering the “death penalty” — shutting down the sport completely. It
actually did everything but kill it.
“The sanctions needed to reflect our goals of providing cultural
change,” NCAA President Mark
Emmert said as he announced the
penalties at a news conference in Indianapolis.
The NCAA ruling holds the university accountable for the failure of
those in power to protect children
and insists that all areas of the university community are held to the
same high standards of honesty and
integrity.
“Against this backdrop, Penn
State accepts the penalties and corrective actions announced today by
the NCAA,” Penn State President
Rodney Erickson said in a statement. “With today’s announcement
and the action it requires of us, the
University takes a significant step
forward.”
Paterno’s family said in a statement that the NCAA sanctions defamed the coach’s legacy, and were a
panicked response to the sex abuse
scandal.
The family also says that punishing “past, present and future” students because of Jerry Sandusky’s
crimes did not serve justice.

Former college football
coach Jim Carlen dies
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Jim
Carlen, who coached South Carolina’s only Heisman Trophy winner and also led West Virginia
and Texas Tech to success, died
Sunday. He was 79.
Carlen died in Columbia, according to Dale Morton at Dunbar Funeral Home. He did not
know the cause of death.
Carlen was 107-69-6 in his 16year coaching career and had just
three losing seasons. He led his
teams to eight bowl games.
Carlen was a punter and linebacker for Georgia Tech and was
an assistant for the Yellow Jackets before he got his first head
coaching job in West Virginia in
1966. He’s credited with bringing West Virginia football to the
big stage, convincing the school’s
leaders to leave the Southern
Conference and become an independent.
The Mountaineers went 25-133 in Carlen’s four years, including
their second 10-win season in the
program’s history in 1969 that
ended with a 14-3 win over South
Carolina in the Peach Bowl.
“Jim was very instrumental in
the overall growth of our football
program, and even after he left,
he still remained interested in
the Mountaineers. Our thoughts
and prayers are with the Carlen
family and friends,” West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck
said in a prepared statement.
Carlen went on to Texas Tech,
where he went 37-20-2 in five
seasons, including the second
ever 11-win season for the Red
Raiders in 1973. He was named
Southwest Conference Coach
of the Year twice and led Texas
Tech to four bowls.
South Carolina hired Carlen to
be both football coach and athletic director in 1975. He went
46-36-1 in seven seasons and
ranked second in Gamecocks history in coaching wins until he
was passed by Steve Spurrier last
season.
Former running back George
Rogers said Carlen was like a
father to him and said his coach
deserved much of the credit for
his 1980 Heisman Trophy.
“If we didn’t have him, there
probably wouldn’t have been a
Heisman Trophy,” Rogers told
The State newspaper of Columbia on Sunday.
The Gamecocks had been to
just two bowl games since the
program started before Carlen
arrived. He took them to three
bowls. His 1981 team beat No.
3 North Carolina, the highest
ranked team ever defeated by
South Carolina before the Gamecocks knocked off No. 1 Alabama
in 2010.
Carlen was born in Cookeville,
Tenn., and served for four years
in the U.S. Air Force, rising to
lieutenant.
A memorial service for Carlen
will be at 4 p.m. Friday at Trenholm Road United Methodist
Church in Columbia.

From Page 6
“He fought the good
fight, and though he’s no
longer here we need to find
a cure for juvenile diabetes,” Vicki Santo said. “He
felt he had been put here for
that reason. He believed in
his journey. He believed in
his cause. We can’t let him
down.”
Santo fought more serious medical problems after
he retired as a player. He underwent surgery on his eyes,
heart and bladder after doctors discovered cancer. He
also had surgery more than
a dozen times on his legs
before they were amputated
below the knees — the right
one in 2001 and the left a
year later.
As a broadcaster, Santo
was known for unabashedly
rooting for the Cubs, a trait
that endeared him to fans
who never saw him play.
“I want you to know that
he loved you so much, and
he would be grateful that you
came here to share this with
him,” Vicki Santo said to a
sea of fans clad in blue and
red. “Ron Santo believed it’s
not what happens to you in
life that people may judge,
but how you handle what
happens to you in your life.”
Plenty of good things
happened in Larkin’s life,
and he delivered a litany
of thank-yous to the people
who helped him along his
journey. None were more
important than his mom,
Shirley, and father, Robert,
who were seated in the first
row.
“If we were going to do
something, we were going
to do it right,” Larkin said.
“Growing up, you challenged me. That was so instrumental.”
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Larkin was a two-sport
star at Moeller High School
and thought he might become a pro football player
after accepting a scholarship to play at Michigan
for Bo Schembechler. That
changed in a hurry.
“He (Schembechler) redshirted me my freshman year
and told me that he was going to allow me just to play
baseball,” Larkin said. “Occasionally, I’d call him while I
was playing in the big leagues
and told him that was the best
decision he made as a football
coach. He didn’t like that too
much.”
Drafted fourth by the
Reds in 1985, despite playing just 41 games his first
year Larkin finished seventh in the National League
Rookie of the Year voting in
1986.
Two years later, Larkin
was an All-Star with a .296
average, 91 runs scored, 32
doubles and 40 stolen bases.
And with a host of older players to guide him — Eric Davis, Ron Oester, Buddy Bell,
player-manager Pete Rose,
a Cincinnati native, slugger
Tony Perez, and even star
shortstop Dave Concepcion,
the man he would replace —
Larkin’s major league career
quickly took off.
“I played with some
monumental figures in the
game,” said Larkin, who
was introduced to baseball
by his dad at the age of 5.
“They helped me through
some very rough times as a
player.”
After giving special
thanks in Spanish to the
Latin players that also
helped mold him, Larkin
heaped special praise on
Rose and Concepcion.
“I wouldn’t be in the big
leagues if it weren’t for Pete,”
Larkin said, eliciting stirring
applause from the fans, two
of whom were holding a
placard inscribed with “Cincinnati’s hometown heroes,
Larkin and Rose.”
“And Dave Concepcion,
understanding that I was
gunning for his job, understanding that I was from
Cincinnati, he spent countless hours with me preparing me for the game,” Lar-
kin said. “I idolized Davey
Concepcion as a kid. Thank
you, my idol. My inclusion
in the Hall of Fame is the ultimate validation. I want to
thank you all for helping me
along the way.”
Larkin, who played his
entire 19-year career with
the Reds, retired after the
2004 season with a .295
career average, 2,340 hits,
1,329 runs scored and 379
stolen bases.
Two inductees were honored Saturday in a ceremony at Doubleday Field. Former catcher Tim McCarver
received the Ford C. Frick
Award for his contributions
in broadcasting, while Bob
Elliott of the Toronto Sun
was given the J.G. Taylor
Spink Award for sports writing.
salary cap hit of Dubinsky,
Anisimov and Erixon is almost exactly the same.
Nash, the oldest player
in the deal at 28, is one of
the most decorated players
in the league. He is a fivetime All-Star who helped
his native Canada win the
Olympic gold medal in the
2010 Olympics. He also
has played in four World
Championships, leading
Canada to gold in 2007
and silver in 2005 and
2008. Plus, he shared the
Rocket Richard Trophy
in 2004, scoring 41 goals
to lead the league along
with Ilya Kovalchuk, then
of Atlanta, and Calgary’s
Jarome Iginla.
He is coming off a season in which he had 30
goals and 29 assists while
playing in all 82 games.
He has 289 goals and 258
assists in 674 career NHL
games, all with the Blue
Jackets. His offensive skill
set will be welcomed by a
New York team that struggled for offense during the
postseason. With one of
the NHL’s top goaltenders,
Henrik Lunqvist, playing
in front of a deep, young
defense, many people believed the Rangers were
just one scorer away from
a title last season. Offense
was clearly a problem in
the six-game loss to the rival Devils, as the Rangers
did not score more than
three goals in any of those
contests.
Columbus general manager Scott Howson spoke
with the other 29 teams
in the NHL about Nash in
the days leading up to the
trade deadline, but had
talked seriously with just
a few clubs — including
the reported six or so that
Nash would waive his notrade clause to join.
With the worst record in
the NHL last season, the
Blue Jackets needed an influx of talent. They believe
they made a key step at the
trade deadline when they
sent forward Jeff Carter
to the Los Angeles Kings
— who would go on to win
the Stanley Cup with Carter playing a key role — for
young defenseman Jack
Johnson and a first-round
pick.
Johnson, who captained
the United States squad
in the 2010 Olympics, will
likely take over that role in
Columbus.
They also traded for another young forward, Nick
Foligno, in a one-for-one
deal with the Ottawa Senators earlier this summer.
Dubinsky, 26, had 10
goals and 24 assists in
77 games a year ago with
the Rangers, while the
24-year-old Anisimov had
16 goals and 20 assists in
79 games. Erixon, a former first-round pick of the
Calgary Flames in 2009,
only played in 18 games
for the Rangers last year.
The loss of Nash will
hurt a Columbus offense
which already was starved
for goals. But Dubinsky
and Anisimov will likely
get time on the top two
lines along with Foligno,
Vinny Prospal, Derick
Brassard, R.J. Umberger
and youngsters Ryan Johansen and Cam Atkinson.
The Blue Jackets, who
have only been to the postseason once in their 11
seasons, have three firstround picks in the 2013
draft.
ing, nurturing and protecting
young people,” Emmert said.
By vacating 112 Penn State
victories from 1998-2011, the
sanctions cost Paterno 111
wins. Former Florida State
coach Bobby Bowden will
now hold the top spot in the
NCAA record book with 377
major-college wins. Paterno,
who was fired days after Sandusky was charged, will be
credited with 298 wins. Vacated wins are not the same
as forfeits — they don’t count
as losses or wins for either
school.
“I didn’t want it to happen
like this,” Bowden told the
AP. “Wish I could have earned
it, but that’s the way it is.”
The scholarship reductions
mean Penn State’s roster will
be capped at 65 scholarship
players beginning in 2014.
The normal scholarship limit
for major college football programs is 85. Playing with 20
less is devastating to a program that tries to compete at
the highest level of the sport.
In comparison, the harsh
NCAA sanctions placed upon
USC several years ago left the
Trojans with only 75 scholarships per year over a threeyear period.
The postseason ban is the
longest handed out by the
NCAA since it gave a fouryear ban to Indiana football in
1960.
Bill O’Brien, who was hired
to replace Paterno, now faces
the daunting task of building future teams with severe
limitations, and trying to
keep current players from
fleeing to other schools. Star
players such as tailback Silas
Redd and linebacker Gerald
Hodges are now essentially
free agents.
“I knew when I accepted the
position that there would be
tough times ahead,” O’Brien
said. “But I am committed for
the long term to Penn State
and our student athletes.”
Big Ten Commissioner
Jim Delany said that players
will likely be allowed to transfer within the conference,
something that is usually restricted. The possible exodus
isn’t confined to just the next
few months. Penn State players currently on the roster
are free to transfer without
restrictions for the length of
their careers.
Penn State players left a
team meeting on campus in
State College, Pa., without
talking to reporters. Penn
State’s season starts Sept. 1 at
home against Ohio University.
The sanctions came a day
after the school took down a
statue of Paterno that stood
outside Beaver Stadium and
was a rallying point for the
coaches’ supporters throughout the scandal.
At a student union on campus, several dozen alumni and
students gasped, groaned and
whistled as they watched Emmert’s news conference.
“It was kind of just like a
head shaker,” said Matt Bray,
an 18-year-old freshman from
West Chester, Pa. “You knew
it was coming, but it was hard
to hear.”
Emmert had earlier said
he had “never seen anything
as egregious” as the horrific
crimes of Sandusky and the
cover-up by Paterno and others at the university, including
former Penn State President
Graham Spanier and athletic
director Tim Curley.
The Penn State investigation headed by former FBI Director Louis Freeh said school
officials kept what they knew
from police and other authorities for years, enabling the
abuse to go on.
There had been calls across
the nation for Penn State to
receive the “death penalty,”
and Emmert had not ruled
out that possibility as late as
last week — though Penn
State did not fit the criteria
for it. That punishment is for
teams that commit a major
violation while already being
sanctioned.
“This case is obviously
incredibly unprecedented in
every aspect of it,” Emmert
said, “as are these actions that
we’re taking today.”
Penn State football under
Paterno was built on — and
thrived upon — the premise
that it did things the right
way. That it was not a football
factory where only wins and
losses determined success.
Every major college football
program tries to send that
message, but Penn State built
its brand on it.
Paterno’s “Grand Experiment” was about winning
with integrity, graduating
players and sending men into
the world ready to succeed
in life, not just football. But
he still won a lot — a recordsetting 409 victories.
The NCAA had never sanctioned, or seriously investigated Penn State. Few, if any,
national powers could make
that claim.
Southern California, Ohio
State, Alabama, all have run
afoul of the NCAA. Even
Notre Dame went on probation for two years after a
booster lavished gifts on players in the 1990s.
The harshest penalty handed down to a football program came in the ’80s, when
the NCAA shut down SMU’s
team for a year. SMU football
has never gotten back to the
level of success it had before
the “death penalty.”
Emmert said there were
concerns about the collateral damage of shutting down
Penn State football for a year,
and that’s why the death penalty was ruled out.
“It hurts people who had
absolutely nothing to do with
this process, which is always
the case,” he said.
Emmert added that no attempt was made for the sanctions to be more severe than
the death penalty.
“That isn’t a comparison
I or anyone else needs to
make,” he said. “People in the
media can make those comparisons.”
Delany said he believes
Penn State is capable of
bouncing back from the sanctions.
“I do have a strong sense
that many of the ingredients
of success are still at Penn
State and will be there in future years,” he said.
Nash
From Page 6
it would be best for my
career.”
The move to New York
and a perennial playoff
team should be a boon to
his career, although it will
require a major alteration
in his lifestyle. Quiet and
almost shy, Nash enjoyed
playing golf at nice courses and walking around
Columbus virtually unnoticed. That will end when
he takes his act to the Big
Apple.
Nash is in the third year
of an eight-year contract he
signed in 2010 which has
an average annual value
of $7.8 million. The total
Penn
From Page 6
State would not be allowed
to share in the conference’s
bowl revenue during the
NCAA’s postseason ban, an
estimated loss of about $13
million. And the NCAA reserved the right to add additional penalties.
Sandusky, a former Penn
State defensive coordinator,
was found guilty in June of
sexually abusing young boys,
sometimes on campus. An
investigation commissioned
by the school and released
July 12 found that Paterno,
who died in January, and several other top officials at Penn
State stayed quiet for years
about accusations against
Sandusky.
Emmert fast-tracked penalties rather than go through
the usual circuitous series of
investigations and hearings.
The NCAA said the $60 million is equivalent to the annual gross revenue of the football
program. The money must be
paid into an endowment for
external programs preventing
child sexual abuse or assisting victims and may not be
used to fund such programs at
Penn State.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
July 24, 2012:
This year you are on cruise control
until a key person seems to throw a
boomerang in your direction. As you
become more flexible, you won’t be
able to predict when a surprising situation or person could enter your life.
Excitement is a theme throughout this
year. If you are single, do not count
on anyone entering your life for the
long term in 2012. A potential suitor
could travel often or pop in and out
your life randomly. If you are attached,
your sweetie seems very different this
year; he or she might become quite
zany. Strap on your seatbelt, and try
to remain calm — this is just a phase.
LIBRA has a romantic perspective on
nearly everything.
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)
HHHH Defer to others, as they will
demand a lot, no matter what you do.
Opportunities come through conversations and could be most unexpected.
Do not leave the table without a “yes”
or a “no.” Time is not your ally right
now. Tonight: What suits you? Do that.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHH You throw yourself into whatever you need to finish. You might be
spending a lot and feeling more affluent than in the past. A conversation
gives you the push you need. Note
someone’s response to your ideas.
Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Your sense of humor
helps ease you through the day. The
unexpected occurs in a meeting or
with some friends. You might want to
have a long-overdue conversation but
not want to jump through all the hoops
to get there. Tonight: Be your loving
self.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You might want to stay close
to home. You could be confused by a
decision that you are choosing not to
discuss. Your instincts help you with
your finances. As a result, you’ll buy a
token of affection for a special person.
Tonight: Cozy and comfortable at
home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH You might want or need to
deal with a money-related matter. A
meeting reveals a lot of insight into this
situation, which helps you to make a
decision. Make phone calls later today.
Tonight: Your perspective changes
because of a conversation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Using self-discipline might
be easier for you than for others. A
partner or associate appears to be
unusually reactive. Worry less about
this person’s unpredictability. Make
decisions that work for you first.
Tonight: Honor your budget.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHHH Give 100 percent. Others
are inclined to do more for you right
now. Friends interact with a smile. It
becomes clear that you need to let an
admirer know where he or she stands.
News from a distance punctuates a
decision. Tonight: Whatever makes
you happy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Listen to your inner voice
when dealing with a child or loved one.
This person appreciates your attention
and caring. Your creativity adds to a
meeting and leads to new ideas and
greater understanding. A close associate adds a wise commentary. Tonight:
Visit with a special friend.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH Zero in on what you want.
Flex with a cascading change of plans.
Many people around you seem full of
ideas, and they want to share them.
A male friend could become quite
assertive. Be understanding in your
response. Tonight: Where the action
is.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH Take a stand and move
through a problem. Your work ethic
demands strict focus, which is a trait
others rarely seem to have. Whether
doing a personal project or simply
helping a friend, you give 125 percent.
Tonight: Could go to the wee hours.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH While others bicker, you
wonder when enough is enough.
Understanding evolves because of
your ability to detach. You generally
come in with a unique perspective.
You will get feedback. Accept the
negative with the positive. Tonight:
Exercise to music.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH One person absolutely
needs and wants your attention. You
could be dismayed that you do not
have more time. A personal matter
might be making you a little too jittery
for your own good. Take a walk rather
than get into a dispute. Tonight: Clear
the air.

An epic collapse, a British Open for the ages
LYTHAM ST. ANNES,
England (AP) — If this
had been a normal British
Open, Ernie Els would’ve
been hanging out on the
putting green hoping his
work was done. Any other
time, he wouldn’t have welcomed a playoff to secure
the title.
The Big Easy was willing
to make an exception this
time.
There was nothing normal about a wind-swept
Sunday at Royal Lytham &
St. Annes.
“Crazy, crazy, crazy,” Els
kept saying.
Crazy, indeed. And, for
the guy who let it slip away,
a gut-wrenching blow.
Adam Scott had the
claret jug in his grasp with
four holes to play. A player
of enormous potential was
poised to fulfill his promise at age 32, to collect the
first major championship of
his career after building a
comfortable lead over three
days of brilliant golf.
Then, a bogey. And another. And another. And finally, at the 18th hole, with
a 7-foot putt to at least force
a playoff, he missed again.
Scott’s knees buckled.
Golf’s oldest championship
had been snatched away,
handed to Els with one of
the great collapses in golfing history.
“You’re not really hoping
the guy is going to make a
mistake, but you’re hoping
you don’t have to go to a
playoff,” said Els, who was
playing two groups ahead of
Scott. “This one was different because I feel for Adam.
I really didn’t mind going
to a playoff. He probably
didn’t feel that. But I was, at
best, hoping for a playoff on
the putting green.”
When it was done, Scott
had to make a painful walk
back to the 18th green to
collect the prize that goes
to the runner-up. On the
table was the silver chalice
that should’ve been his.
He gave it to Els on a silver platter.
The winner hardly sounded like one. In fact, Els was
downright apologetic about
the way it happened.
“Sorry,” he said, looking
toward a glassy eyed Scott.
“You’re a great player, a
great friend of mine. I feel
very fortunate. You’re going
to win many of these.”
Scott certainly has plenty
of years to capture a ma-
jor. He’s just coming into
what should be the prime
of his career. But no one really knows how he’ll bounce
back from such a bitter disappointment.
He has joined the infamous list of epic meltdowns,
his name now etched alongside the likes of Jean Van de
Velde and Ed Sneed and,
yes, Greg Norman, his Aussie countryman and childhood hero.
“I played so beautifully
all week,” Scott said. “I
shouldn’t let this get me
down.”
But how could he not?
Boyle hasn’t disclosed
what comes next, but has
said the ceremony will depict Britain’s past, present
and future for a global television audience estimated
at 1 billion. In addition to
the athletes and performers, some 60,000 spectators will be in the stadium,
including political leaders
from around the world. U.S.
first lady Michelle Obama
and her daughters and a
sprinkling of European and
celebrity royalty will be
among those attending.
Aerial photographs of
the set for the second section of the show depict dark
buildings and smokestacks
with the River Thames running through it. This is the
other side of the country described in “Jerusalem” — a
land of “dark satanic mills.”
A third act will tackle the
regeneration of east London, where the Olympics
are taking place, as parkland and a creative heartland, home to many artists, designers and Internet
startups.
There will be vignettes
drawing on British history
— Boyle’s people-power
version of it — including
Depression-era jobless protesters and nurses performing a tribute to the National
Health Service, founded in
1948 to provide free health
care for all Britons and now
a much fought-over national
institution.
Performers dressed as
miners and factory workers
have also been seen going
into the stadium, and one
set piece is a model of the
Empire Windrush, a ship
that brought hundreds of
Caribbean migrants to Britain in 1948.
According to the Sunday
Times, one section will
feature characters from
children’s fiction classics
including “Alice in Wonderland” and “Peter Pan” —
and a showdown between
Voldemort, the villain of
J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” books, and a horde
of flying magical nannies
based on Mary Poppins.
Boyle has stressed that
the ceremony is not a concert — “the real stars are
the athletes” — but music
will play a key role, with musical direction by electronic
duo Underworld, who have
worked with Boyle since
his 1996 movie “Trainspotting.”
Music heard coming from
the stadium in recent days
ranges from “Jerusalem” —
of course — to songs by The
Beatles, The Who, the Sex
Pistols, and Vangelis’ theme
from “Chariots of Fire.”
There are also songs by
newer acts, including Dizzee Rascal and Tinie Tempah, two homegrown stars
forged in the gritty London
environment that Boyle is
celebrating.
The final act will be former Beatle Paul McCartney
— due to lead the audience
in a sing-along of “Hey
Jude,” with thousands of
voices urging “take a sad
song and make it better.”
Final touches are still being put on the show, with a
technical rehearsal scheduled for Monday evening
and a final dress rehearsal
on Wednesday. Boyle has
already cut a stunt bike sequence to try to keep the
show to its allotted threehour running time so everyone can use public transport
to get home.
Boyle’s spectacle is only
part of the Summer Games
opening ceremony, much of
which is dictated by Olympic protocol.
There also will be a parade of athletes from the
more than 200 participating nations, speeches by
dignitaries — including the
queen, who will officially
declare the games open —
and of course the lighting of
the Olympic cauldron.
The identity of the torchbearer who will ignite the
cauldron it is the most
closely guarded secret of all
— and so far, that has not
leaked.
Olympics
From Page 6
about shipwrecked castaways, “The Tempest.” An
actor is due to recite Caliban’s speech, the one that
runs “Be not afeard; the
isle is full of noises.” Mark
Rylance, who had been due
to perform the lines, pulled
out after the death of his
stepdaughter.
Kenneth
Branagh is rumored to be
his replacement.
Despite Boyle’s enchanted-island inspiration, few
expect the man who depicted Scottish heroin addicts
in “Trainspotting” and Indian slum dwellers in “Slumdog Millionaire” to deliver a
sanitized image of Britain.
It sounds more like Isles
of Wonder and Woe — with
a big dash of British whimsy thrown in.
Boyle has said the show is
“trying to show the best of
us, but we’re also trying to
show many, many different
things about our country.”
The ceremony will open
at 9 p.m. with the sound
of a 27-ton bell — the largest harmonically tuned
bell in the world — forged
at London’s 442-year-old
Whitechapel Bell Foundry,
which made London’s Big
Ben and Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell.
A prerecorded segment
has been filmed inside
Buckingham Palace, reportedly involving Queen Elizabeth II and Daniel Craig as
secret agent James Bond.
If rumor is to be believed,
a stuntman dressed as 007
will parachute into the stadium to start the show.
The opening sequence
will evoke a pastoral idyll,
the “green and pleasant
land” described in William
Blake’s poem “Jerusalem,”
which has been set to music and is regarded as England’s unofficial national
anthem. There’s a meadow,
livestock, a farmer plowing
his field, a cricket match —
and, in a nod to Britain’s
plethora of rural summer
music festivals, a mosh pit.
