REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Six have made court appearances for trafficking in prescription drugs, the results of separate investigations by the county’s Major Crimes Task Force. Prosecuting Attorney Colleen S. Williams reported the following court action: • Juan Tabler, 46, Art Lewis Street, Middleport, appeared before Judge Dean Evans, to change his plea on charges of aggravated trafficking and two counts of aggravated possession of drugs. He will be sentenced on Sept. 14. • Tabatha Ackerman, 36, and Todd Ackerman, 40, both of Laurel Cliff Road, Pomeroy, also appeared before Judge Evans to enter pleas of guilty to charges of BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Though it may be hard to think of a connection between the Chicago area and Meigs County, it’s there and because of it, a group of nearly 50 volunteers have arrived on a mission. Ted Grueser of St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Barrington, Ill., a Chicago suburb, grew up in Columbus but had grandparents, Charlie and Ruby Grueser, from Minersville. Ted said he visited his grandparents often and had fond memories of the area - memories which no doubt led to Meigs County being a destination for a mission trip for Christian youth at not only Ted’s church, but two others. Along with the youth of St. Michael’s, youth from the Community Church of Barrington and the Church of the Redeemer in Elgin, Ill., have joined forces to undertake a mission trip to Meigs County and be of service where needed. “I wanted to be able to bring the youth back to a community that gave so much to my family,” Ted said about the whirlwind trip which began last Saturday and ends this Saturday. So far the group of 40 teens and 10 adults have painted a house and stained a deck in Syracuse, painted at the Asbury UM Church also in Syracuse, will paint the basement floor of the Heath UM Methodist Church in Middleport, painted at the Grace Episcopal Church in Pomeroy and helped pour a three-foot by 28foot section of concrete sidewalk in front of the Mulberry Community Center. Also, on Wednesday afternoon, a handful of teens were painting the Pomeroy gazebo on the parking lot. These teens were John Vollman, Quique Ballado, Maggie Roig, Theo Papadimitriou, Missel Ramirez, Edwin Rubio and Lisette Gonzalez along with Youth Advisor Yesenia Saldana. The group painting the gazebo said one of their favorite aspects of the mission trip has been the beautiful scenery and the Ohio River, along with the attitude of the people; calling them “very welcoming” and “friendly.” As for the general consensus as to why they gave up part of their summer to explore mission work, the teens felt putting their needs aside to make a better community was more than enough reason. aggravated possession of drugs, and will be sentenced Sept. 14, also. • Walter Garnes III, Buck Run Road, Langsville, was sentenced for his conviction on charges of aggravated possession of drugs and aggravated trafficking in drugs.

Congress holds second hearings on violent Islam WASHINGTON (AP) — A congressional inquiry into the threat of Islamic radicalization in U.S. prisons quickly devolved Wednesday into a debate about political correctness, street gangs and the quality of the nation's prison system. The hearing was the second in what Homeland Security Committee chairman Peter King promises to be a series of inquiries into the radical Islamic threat in the U.S. The majority of the recent terror plots against the U.S. have involved people espousing a radical and violent view of Islam, making it difficult to ignore the role religion plays in this particular threat. But critics say focusing too closely on Islam and the religious motives of those who have attempted terror attacks threatens to alienate an entire community. Islam and terrorism has not become a centerpiece of the national presidential debates, but some Republican presidential hopefuls earlier this week discussed whether they would be comfortable with a Muslim in their administration. Herman Cain, a former pizza company executive and littleknown candidate to become the Republican presidential nominee, said he would not want a Muslim who wants to kill Americans in his administration. On Wednesday, law enforcement officials testified before the House Homeland Security Committee about prison inmates who adopt a radical interpretation of Islam while incarcerated and become intent on attacking the U.S. and its interests when they're released. Michael Downing, deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, said Islamic prison radicalization is a serious issue that law enforcement does not yet fully understand, because there's no formal way to measure it in federal, state and local prisons. Though the focus of the hearing changed multiple times, it ended much like the first in the series: divided among party lines. "We're wasting too much of our taxpayers' money," Michigan Democrat Hansen Clarke said. REMEMBER Father' Day JUNE 19 We Carry Cards & Gifts Mon. - Fr. 9 am - 7 pm • Sat. 9 am - 2 pm • Sun.

(Submitted photo) Romine presents Grange program on donuts HEMLOCK GROVE — Kim Romine presented a lecture on National Donut Day at the recent meeting of Hemlock Grange, held at the Grange Hall. Natonal Donut Day is the first Friday each June. It started in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army, Chicago. The goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression and honor the Salvation Army “lassies” of World War I, who served donuts to soldiers. It is legend that the provision of donuts to U.S. enlisted men in World War I is the origin of the term “doughboy” used to describe U.S. Infantrymen. The term was in use as early as the Mexican American War of 1846-1847, however. Vernon Rudolph bought a secret yeast-raised donut recipe from a New Orleans, La., French chef, rented a building in what is now historic Old Salem in WinstonSalem, N.C., and began selling Krispy Kreme donuts on July 13, 1937, to local groceries. The delicious scent of cooking donuts drifted into the streets and passersby asked if they could buy them. So, he cut a hole in an outside wall and started selling the donuts directly to customers on the sidewalk. Rudolph died in 1973, but the donuts are still being sold. Rosalie Story conducted the meeting. Adell White, FAD chairman, said members should be working on contest entries. They will be judged in August. Roy Grueser, legislative chairman, reported nine people were killed on Ohio highways over the Memorial Day weeekend and DUI arrests were up 22 percent. Janice Weber, chairman of deaf activities, reported that June is Deaf Month. She encouraged everyone who might have hearing loss to have a test. Grange will visit Star Grange. Pomona Grange will be held at Hemlock on July 1. It was announced there will be a quilt show at Riverbend Arts Council in Middleport June 24 and 25. Peggy Crane has additional information. The illnesses of Doris Ewing and Ned Swindell were noted. The July meeting will be preceded by a cold cuts supper at 6;30 p.m. �The Daily Sentinel BY THE BEND New speaker has fewer millions than predecessor WASHINGTON (AP) — New House Speaker John Boehner doesn't have as many millions as his predecessor, Nancy Pelosi, but like many new committee chairmen and other leaders, he has holdings in companies that have major financial stakes in the actions of Congress. For Boehner, that includes a portfolio of stocks in oil companies, financial firms, communication companies and pharmaceuticals. Holdings among other lawmakers include farmland, real estate and investments in high tech companies. None of this is in any way illegal. Ethics rules state that members can't use their official positions for personal gain and limits to $26,100 what they can earn as a director of a business or for actual work performed outside Congress. The rules, however, do not limit personal investments, a source of considerable wealth for many lawmakers. Boehner, a Republican and son of an Ohio bar owner, derives much of his nest egg from his career as a small businessman before coming to Congress more than two decades ago, said his spokesman, Michael Steel, "Boehner's day-today investment decisions are made by a profession- al financial adviser. He is not consulted on individual transactions," Steel said. Likewise, Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said an account manager makes all the decisions for a portfolio of more than $1 million that he and his wife hold. He made 599 trades last year involving companies such as Apple Computer, Microsoft, Dreamworks Animation and Lockheed Martin. In 2009, Boehner sold a retirement plan in the plastics company he once ran, taking in between $1 million and $5 million. He then purchased shares in almost 60 companies, including stock in BP, Exxon, Chevron, ConocoPhilips and Occidental. His holdings in each of them are valued at between $15,000 and $50,000. In 2010, he listed 121 transactions in which he bought or sold investments. He listed as major assets four mutual and IRA funds worth between $100,001 and $250,000 each and 12 investments valued from $50,001 to $100,000 each. All members of Congress must file the annual forms that list their major sources of earned and unearned income, primary assets and liabilities and privately funded gifts. In 2010 rank-and-file members received salaries of $174,000. As speaker last year, Pelosi received $223,500 and House and Senate majority and minority leaders got $193,400. Boehner's wealth pales compared to that of the House's chief investigator, Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif. Issa, who invented the Viper car alarm system, is among the richest members of Congress with holdings of at least $150 million and possibly approaching $500 million. This year Issa reported two investments that were each worth more than $50 million, a Putnam High Yield Trust Fund and a company that owns and manages properties in five California cities and Cincinnati. He lists four other mutual funds or holdings in property companies worth $25 million to $50 million each. Issa's jurisdiction as the oversight committee chairman is so vast that it could potentially conflict with almost any source of income, and Issa avoids any appearance of a problem by not owning individual stocks. His disclosure form included mention of $825 from each of two appearances on the Bill Maher show that he donated to charity. US births down for 3rd year; economy may be factor ATLANTA (AP) — U.S. births apparently have declined for a third year in a row, probably because of the weak economy. Births had been on the rise for years, and the number hit an all-time high of more than 4.3 million in 2007. But the count has been dropping since then. Last year, it fell 3 percent to slightly more than 4 million births, according to preliminary figures released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's possible the decline is leveling off: The falling birth rate seemed to bottom out in October, November and December. However, it's too early to say whether that marks an end to the trend, said Paul Sutton, a CDC demographer who was the report's lead author. The report is a first glimpse at 2010 births from state health departments. It doesn't include an actual review of birth certificates or specifics about what's going on in different groups of women. The CDC plans to do more analysis later. However, the number usually is pretty close to the final statistics, officials said. Experts believe the downward trend is tied to the economy, which officially was in a recession from December 2007 until June 2009 and is still flagging. The theory is that women who are unemployed or have other money problems feel they can't afford to start a family or add to it. In 2008 and 2009, the only increase in births was in women older than 40 — considered more sensitive to the ticking of their biological clocks. A drop in immigration to the United States, blamed on the weak job market, may be another factor in last year's decline. "Hispanics have higher birth rates," explained Dr. Roger Rochat, an Emory University researcher who has studied fertility and abortion trends.

B RO T H E R S Frenemy constantly sabotages her Dear Dr. Brothers: I don't know exactly what is wrong, but I have a strong suspicion that my close friend is trying to sabotage me in our baby group. Maybe I should call her a "frenemy" instead of a "friend." She is always making subtle comparisons between her baby and mine. Her baby can say 36 words, and mine is still stuck on "Mama." She even mocks my choice of diapers in front of the others. How do I get her to stop being so mean? She never did this before we had kids. -- G.D. Dear G.D.: There is something about having babies and joining baby groups that just invites competition. Especially if you both are first-time mothers, there is a constant search for benchmarks, for validation and for glomming on to anything that makes you feel more secure about big issues, like if your baby is developing normally and whether he or she is OK. Also, it's never too early to start competing for those few coveted spots in the area's leading preschool. You know the one. See what I mean? It's a jungle out there. Your friend/frenemy may be feeling the pressure very keenly, compared with you. In fact, it is likely that she is a bit jealous of you now that you have something she doesn't -a kid she secretly feels is just a bit cuter than hers, or more coordinated, or more attached to Mommy. It could be Dr. Joyce Brothers almost anything. The fact is that you will run into people like this as long as you have a child who is in groups with other kids her age. It's just part of human nature. If you care about the friendship, try to have a couple of "girls' days out" so that you can rekindle some of the feelings that brought you together before there were babies. You sound like a good person -- so you may have to take the lead in not taking offence when the cattiness starts. Dear Dr. Brothers: I am not a kid -- I'm in my mid-30s. I've been dating a guy for about six months, and I just found out I am pregnant. The thought of having a baby is exciting -- I know I could manage all right because I have a large and supportive family and a good job -- but I really am not too keen on having this guy in my life. I could pretty easily break up with him and he would never know he was the father. Do you think this would be a fair solution? -M.A. Dear M.A.: I am a lit- tle reluctant to call this kind of deception something like "fair." You don't have any idea what the reaction to your news might be, and while it is possible that the man would insist on marrying you, it seems rather unlikely, given your feelings toward him. If you both are just having a casual relationship, he still might want to be a father, and you would have no reason to prohibit him from doing so. But that would mean that he's going to be in your life anyway, even if he doesn't have a romantic relationship with you. Another possibility is that he might wish to support the child financially but in no other way. None of these scenarios can be acted out if you hide the truth. There's very little chance that you could keep this kind of secret from your child for very long, once she or he is an adult. So if you have decided to have the child and to keep him or her -- two really big things to think about -your ability to be fair will increase if you place the emphasis on being truthful. You will have a lot more cooperation from your family if things are out in the open. You can sit down with the father-to-be and try to come to a meeting of the minds about the baby. This way, you will have a lot better idea what the real facts are about your future.

Michele Bachmann’s smooth presidential debate performance stands to make her a bigger force in the Republican Party after years of errors and hyperbole. Her new credibility could pose problems for GOP leaders trying for a deal with President Barack Obama on reducing the nation’s debt. Bachmann resolutely opposes letting the government slide even deeper into debt, a position that appeals to her constituency of nocompromise tea partyers. Her confident, nearly error-free debate showing Monday night in New Hampshire alongside six men rippled through Republican circles in Washington. She may have the clout now to confound GOP leaders who have labored to keep the Minnesota congresswoman positioned to help the party, rather than embarrass it. House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, now may have to do more than just pacify her. Boehner did not endorse Bachmann’s bid after last year’s elections to join the leadership as the party’s conference head. She is a top fundraiser among House Republicans, but Republicans haven’t trusted her to lead a committee or even a subcommittee. They can’t shun her so easily now. Asked about Bachmann’s debate performance, Boehner answered: “I think she did a really good job. ... She’s a bright member of our caucus.” Bachmann has been a handful for Republicans because what she has lacked in credibility she has offered in constituency. She raised $13.5 million for her own campaign in the 2010 election, more than Boehner or anyone else in the House. She gave $90,000 to the National Republican Campaign Committee two months before the elections that made Boehner speaker, according to the Federal Election Commission. She’s also the founder and chairwoman of the Tea Party Caucus, which counts 59 members, according to a list provided by her office. Leaders have no choice but to pay attention when the congresswoman departs from the GOP position on whether to raise the $14.3 billion borrowing limit or instead put the government in default, with potentially devastating consequences to the economy. Bachmann boasts about her penchant for bucking her party. She voted twice against the plan enacted in 2008 to unclog frozen credit markets with a $700 billion infusion of cash to banks, other financial institutions and two of the big three domestic auto producers. “Sometimes that’s what you have to do. You have to take principle overyour party,” she said. Several Republican lawmakers and aides said Tuesday that Bachmann’s debate may have opened the door to reviving her credibility if she can stay clear of exaggeration and mistakes. Certainly, some noted, her penchant for overshadowing others worked out for her Monday night when she surprised the six men she was debating by announcing she had filed the necessary papers to run for the GOP presidential nomination. But there’s a long list of Bachmann moments that have caused her fellow conservatives to cringe: — At her November 2009 rally at the base of the Capitol, attended by Boehner and other GOP leaders, a few of her cheering supporters held signs comparing the health care overhaul to the Holocaust, calling Obama a “traitor to the Constitution” and asking “Ken-ya Trust Obama?” — a reference to the false claim that the president was not born in the United States. —In 2007, she said Iran The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

She appointed herself the chairwoman of the Tea Party Caucus in the House and announced her candidacy for GOP Conference chairman. “Constitutional conservatives deserve a loud and clear voice in leadership!” Bachmann declared on her Facebook page. House Republican leaders didn’t disagree, but they didn’t endorse her, either. Boehner, aware of the role tea partyers played in making him speaker, endorsed no one. But his lieutenants lined up behind Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, leaving no doubt that he was the leadership favorite for the post.

Laurie Kellman has covered politics and Congress for The Associated Press since 1997. The violent deaths of Brian Terry and Juan Francisco Sicilia, separated by the span of just a few months and by the increasingly bloody U.S.Mexico border, have sparked separate but overdue examinations of the so-called War on Drugs, and how the U.S. government is ultimately exacerbating the problem. On the night of Dec. 14, 2010, Agent Brian Terry was in the Arizona desert as part of the highly trained and specially armed BORTAC unit, described as the elite paramilitary force within the U.S. Border Patrol. The group engaged in a firefight, and Terry was killed. While this death might have become just another violent act associated with drug trafficking along the border, one detail has propelled it into a high-stakes confrontation between the Obama administration and the U.S. Congress: Weapons found at the scene, AK47s, were sold into likely Mexican criminal hands under the auspices of a covert operation of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Dubbed “Operation Fast and Furious,” the secret program aimed to trace arms sold in the U.S. to so-called straw buyers, people who buy arms on behalf of others. The ATF’s operation allowed gun shops to sell bulk weapons to straw buyers who the ATF suspected were buying on behalf of Mexican drug cartels. Instead of arresting the straw buyer, considered a relatively low-level criminal by the ATF, tracing the guns as they made their way into Mexico might allow the ATF to arrest more senior members of the criminal cartels. At least, that was the plan. According to reporting by the Center for Public Integrity, 1,765 guns were knowingly sold as part of “Fast and Furious.” Another 300 or so were sold before the operation Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Amy Goodman started. Of these more than 2,000 guns, fewer than 800 have been recovered. Two of the guns recovered were found at the site of Terry’s death, in a region known as Peck Canyon, on the U.S. side of the border between Nogales, Mexico, and Tucson, Ariz. Special Agent John Dodson of the ATF was among many field agents who advised superiors that the covert operation was unwise. Their concerns were not acted on, and the operation continued. After Terry’s murder, Dodson blew the whistle, first to the Justice Department, then to Republican Sen. Charles Grassley. Grassley has questioned Attorney General Eric Holder, and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, chaired by Republican Darrell Issa, is now engaged in hearings on the case. South of the border, Juan Francisco Sicilia and six other young men were brutally murdered last March, just seven more innocent victims in the raging violence in Mexico that has claimed more than 35,000 victims since December 2006, when President Felipe Calderon began his crackdown on the drug cartels. Sicilia’s father is Javier Sicilia, a renowned poet and intellectual in Mexico. Soon after his son’s murder, Sicilia wrote his final poem, dedicated to his son. He is now committed to the nonviolent struggle against the bloodshed in his country. He led a protest march in May from his hometown of Cuernavaca to Mexico City’s famous Zocalo, the central plaza, where 200,000 people rallied. Last weekend, he led another march, all the way to the border, and then into El Paso, Texas. Sicilia is against the cartels, for sure. But he holds Calderon, and the United States, culpable as well. He is calling for an end to “the Merida Initiative,” in which the U.S. provides arms and training for the Mexican military to fight the cartels. Sicilia also is calling for the legalization of drugs, a call in which he is joined, surprisingly, by the conservative former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, and increasingly by Calderon himself. Calderon is traveling in the U.S. this week, and has spoken out about the U.S. arms industry that is profiting from the sales of weapons that end up in Mexico. He also has criticized the repeal of the U.S. assault-weapons ban, which has led to a massive increase in gun violence in Mexico. A new report released by three Democratic U.S. senators finds some 70 percent of guns seized in Mexico from 2009 to 2010 came from the United States. Of the nearly 30,000 guns seized in Mexico during that period, more than 20,000 came from the U.S. If anything should be fast and furious in the United States, it should be the push for sane and sensible gun control and drug policies. Perhaps then, Javier Sicilia will start writing poetry again. Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column.

And they were so numerous that Ben Sessions once killed 42 in a single day. Shortly after buying their dream home, Sessions and his wife discovered it was infested with thousands of garter snakes. For the next three months, their growing family lived as if in a horror movie. More than a year after they abandoned the property, the home briefly went back on the market, and they fear it could someday attract another unsuspecting buyer. The five-bedroom house stands on nearly two pastoral acres in rural Idaho, about 125 miles southwest of Yellowstone National Park. Priced at less than $180,000, it seemed like a steal. But the young couple soon learned they would be sharing the home with reptiles at least two feet long that had crawled into seemingly every crevice. While setting up a chicken coop, Sessions lifted a piece of sheet metal and was startled to see a pair of snakes slither away. A few days later, he found more and soon started to collect dozens in buckets. At times, there were so many in the yard that the grass seemed to move. If he rapped a stick against the roof overhang, he could hear dozens scatter, their scales sliding against the aluminum. After he removed some panels of siding, dozens of snakes popped out. When he made his way through the crawl space to investigate further, he found snakes everywhere. That's when he realized his family was probably living atop a garter snake den where the nonpoisonous reptiles congregate in the fall and winter. Sessions quickly developed a daily snake-fighting routine. Before his pregnant wife and two small boys got out of bed, he would do a "morning sweep" through the house to make sure none of the snakes had gotten inside. One day, his wife screamed from the laundry room, where she had almost stepped on one. He rushed in to find that she had jumped onto a counter. "I was terrified she was going to miscarry," he said. When they bought the house, the Sessions signed a document that noted the snake infestation. They said they had been assured by their real estate agent that the snakes were just a story invented by the previous owners to leave their mortgage behind. They soon learned that nearly everyone else in this tiny college town knew the snakes were real. "I felt bad," said Dustin Chambers, a neighbor. "By the time we knew someone had bought it, they were already moving in. It was too late." Among locals, the property is known simply as the "snake house," he added. The pests were impossible to escape no matter the hour of the day. At night, the Sessions would lie awake and listen to slithering inside the walls. During the day, the family often had to eat out because their well water smelled like the musk released by the snakes as a warning to predators. But because of the paperwork they had signed, the couple had little recourse when they decided to flee the home. They filed for bankruptcy, and the bank foreclosed on the house. The Sessions left in December 2009, the day after their daughter was born and just three months after moving in. "We're not going to pay for a house full of snakes," Sessions said. His wife, Amber, said she felt like their family was starting to fall apart. "It was just so stressful," she said. "It felt like we were living in Satan's lair. That's the only way to really explain it." Several months ago, the house briefly went back on the market. Now owned by JP Morgan Chase, it was listed at $114,900 in December, according to Zillow.com, a real estate data firm. That price fell to $109,200 in January. Then, the Animal Planet network featured the Sessions' story in its "Infested" series. The listing was removed, and it has stayed off the market while Chase decides what to do with it. A Rexburg real estate company that was hired to sell the house referred all questions to a Chase spokeswoman in Seattle. Darcy DonahoeWilmot did not return repeated phone calls from The Associated Press. But she told a business columnist for Dow Jones Newswires that the bank had contracted to have the snakes trapped and released elsewhere. Sessions said that he has been diagnosed with snake-related post-traumatic stress disorder and that the house should be condemned. "It's not right to continue to sell this home," Sessions said. He and his wife said they still have nightmares and have not recovered financially. The home was probably built on top of a winter snake den or hibernaculum, where snakes gather in large numbers to hibernate, said Rob Cavallaro, a wildlife biologist with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. In the spring and summer, the reptiles fan out across the wilds of southeastern Idaho to feed and breed. But as the days get shorter and cooler, they return to the den in search of warmth. In 2007, another couple named Neal and Denise Ard sued the couple who sold them the home and the real estate agent who negotiated the $189,900 deal. The complaint was dismissed a year later. Since the Sessions moved out, other people have looked at the house. One day, when a real estate agent was showing the property, a farmer who lives down the road stopped by to warn them, Chambers said. "Now, if anybody sees anybody, they kind of will let them know," he said. "Just so that somebody else doesn't get caught in the same trap." New rules to cut confusion on sunscreen claims WASHINGTON (AP) — Help is on the way to consumers confused by the jumble of sun protection numbers, symbols and other claims on sunscreens. Starting next summer, consumers can start looking for SPF 15 bottles with the label “broad spectrum” and feel confident they’re being protected from an increased risk of cancer. Currently, standards of protection apply only to one part of the sun’s spectrum, ultraviolet B rays, which cause sunburn. Under new rules published Tuesday, they will also have to protect against the more penetrating ultraviolet A rays associated with skin cancer. The guidelines, which spent more than 30 years in bureaucratic limbo, are designed to enhance the effectiveness of sunscreens and make them easier to use. The key takeaway for consumers: Look for a sun protection factor, or SPF, of 15 and above that also says “broad spectrum.” That’s the new buzzword from the Food and Drug Administration to describe a product that does an acceptable job blocking both types of damaging rays. Starting next summer, sunscreens with less than an SPF of 15 or that aren’t “broad spectrum” will have to carry a warning label: “This product has been shown only to help prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging.” That will help people like Paul Woodburn, 55, who says he mainly buys brands he trusts and judges sun screen by one factor. “The SPF number is what counts for me,” the Indianapolis resident said as he sat next to a public pool. “Beyond the SPF, I don’t think anybody really watches.” Woodburn said he wasn’t familiar with the difference between UVA and UVB rays or the broad spectrum label. “These changes to sunscreen labels are an important part of helping consumers have the information they need so they can choose the right sun protection for themselves and their families,” said Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of FDA’s drug division. The new regulations require testing for the more dangerous ultraviolet A rays, which can penetrate glass and pose the greatest risk of skin cancer and premature aging. Now, the FDA only requires testing for ultraviolet B rays that cause sunburn. That’s what the familiar SPF measure is based on. “For the first time, the FDA has clearly defined the testing required to make a broad-spectrum protection claim in a sunscreen and indicate which type of sunscreen can reduce skin cancer risk,” said Dr. Ronald L. Moy, president of The American Academy of Dermatology Association. mance.” • The FDA also proposes capping the highest SPF value at 50, unless companies can provide results of further testing that support a higher number. • FDA says manufacturers must phase out a fourstar system currently used by some companies to rate UVA protection. In reviewing more than 3,000 comments submitted to the agency, the FDA decided the star system was too confusing. Instead, protection against UVA should be proportional to protection against UVB, which is already measured using SPF. The SPF figure indicates the amount of sun exposure needed to cause sunburn on sunscreenprotected skin compared with unprotected skin. For example, an SPF rating of 30 means it would take the person 30 times longer to burn wearing sunscreen than with exposed skin. The rules were decades in the making. FDA announced its intent to draft sunscreen rules in 1978 and published them in 1999. The agency delayed finalizing its guidelines for years until it could address issues concerning both UVA and UVB protection. Some consumer advocates complained that the agency’s final guidelines were less strict than draft proposals circulated over the years. “About 20 percent of products that meet the new FDA standards could not be sold in Europe, where UVA standards are strict,” said David Andrews, senior scientist with the Environmental Working Group. Many companies have already adopted the some of the labeling outlined by the government. For example, all Coppertone products from Merck & Co.’s Schering-Plough unit and Neutrogena sunscreens from Johnson & Johnson already boast “broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.” Most dermatologists recommend a broad spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every two hours while outside. Last year an estimated 68,130 people in the U.S. were diagnosed with melanoma — the most dangerous form of skin cancer — and an estimated 8,700 died, according to the National Cancer Institute. Nearly $2 billion is spent treating the disease each year. Thursday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 3pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 81. West wind between 7 and 13 mph.

The Republican-controlled Senate approved the plan on a 22-10 vote. The legislation sets up a commission to oversee oil and gas leasing in the state. It also requires state agencies to create property inventories that could yield potential drilling sites. The House already has passed the bill but would have to agree to the Senate's changes before it could be sent to the governor's desk. New technology has prompted a surge in oil and gas production in the Marcellus Shale formation, part of which runs under eastern Ohio. The bill's supporters say Ohio could get fees and royalties of up to $9 million. They argue drilling will create jobs and reduce dependence on foreign oil. State Sen. Kris Jordan, R-Powell, pointed to an estimated $8 billion budget shortfall as reason to pass the measure. "Ohio has a significant number of mineral resources just waiting to be used to help us dig our way out of the budgetary crisis that we're in," Jordan said. "This bill represents an opportunity to start using these resources to help our state recover." Opponents — which include the Sierra Club, National Wildlife Federation and other environmental groups — say the state parks historically have been off-limits to drilling and allowing it would harm vistas and groundwater. Democratic amendments on where and how drilling would be done failed to gain traction. The party holds 10 seats in the 33-member chamber. One proposal would have put a state prohibition on drilling under Lake Erie. Republicans tabled the idea, saying the current federal government ban was sufficient. Another failed Democratic amendment would have put a moratorium on horizontal hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, until the federal government comes out with a study on the procedure. The technique has allowed energy companies to reach previously inaccessible stores of natural gas. Critics say fracking could poison water supplies and have a negative impact on the environment. State Sen. Joe Schiavoni, D-Canfield, said he had no problem with drilling on private lands if owners want to permit it. "But state parks are different," he said. "They are for all of our enjoyment. They are for all of us to bring our families on vacation; they are for all of us to get an hour of relaxation when we can. And drilling should be kept off this very, very small percentage of land." Gov. John Kasich, a first-term Republican, had originally included the idea in his state budget proposal in March. Senators removed it from the state spending blueprint because separate legislation was moving through the General Assembly. Some proceeds would go to habitat protection and wildlife preservation. The bill specifies that 30 percent of the money from a land lease would be returned to the specific state park that manages the property. Other money from leases would be used to pay for the new commission's operations. A Senate committee tweaked the bill to require the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to create a process for public feedback on any land leasing proposal. The new oil and gas commission would also have to consider that feedback when making a decision. The measure would repeal the authority that some state agencies and universities have to enter into leases for oil and gas exploration and development. Leases already in effect would remain unchanged by the bill. Questions remain as Anthony prosecutors rest case ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors spent 19 days proving beyond any doubt that Casey Anthony is a liar who loves to party. But did they also prove that she murdered her 2-year-old daughter Caylee? The prosecution rested its case Wednesday after introducing a wealth of circumstantial and forensic evidence that they say shows that the young single mother suffocated her daughter by wrapping duct tape around her head. They say she left the girl's body in her car until it stank and then dumped it in the woods near the home she shared with her parents. But there are holes. They have no witnesses who saw the killing. No one saw Anthony with the body. And because the body was so decomposed, there is no absolute proof that the child was suffocated, just the tape remnants on her skull. Caylee's remains were found in December 2008, six months after the girl was last seen. And while the prosecution used Anthony's friends, parents and brother to show that she lied repeatedly before and after her child died, the witnesses also all agreed that she was a loving and doting mother. If convicted of first-degree murder, Anthony faces a possible death sentence. "I think (the prosecutors) did as best they could with the evidence that they have," said Leslie Garfield, a criminal law professor at Pace Law School in New York. "The problem is that all 12 jurors have to find a verdict unanimously beyond all reasonable doubt. So you wind up having a pretty heavy burden." And that's what Anthony's attorneys will bank on when they begin their case Thursday — but they also set a high bar for themselves. In his opening statement, lead defense attorney Jose Baez said he will show that Caylee accidentally drowned in her grandparents' above-ground swimming pool and that Casey freaked out. He said Anthony's father, a former police officer, made the death look like a murder and helped her dump the body. George Anthony adamantly denied the claim during his testimony, along with an accusation that he molested Casey as a child. If the defense has no witnesses to back up their claims of a drowning and cover-up, many lawyers familiar with the case think Anthony, 25, will have to testify in her own defense, opening her up scathing cross-examination. "That's really risky," Garfield said. In her opening statement, lead prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick didn't hide the central mystery of the case: "What happened to Caylee Marie Anthony?" She and her assistants then methodically tried to answer that question, showing that Anthony had been living the life of a party girl before Caylee disappeared in June 2008 — and didn't slow down until she was arrested weeks later. They showed that Anthony, then 22, lied to her parents and detectives about working as a party planner at Universal Studios theme park. She also maintained that a nanny named Zanny had taken the child in several conversations with investigators — a vastly different explanation from the drowning story the defense is now using. Prosecutors showed that in the days after Caylee was last seen — the period when prosecutors say she was murdered — Anthony hid from her parents, spent time with her boyfriend, went shopping and hung out with friends. When her parents and brother visited her in jail after her arrest, she insisted she had no idea where Caylee could be. "Her conduct just sticks out," said Karin Moore, an assistant professor at Florida A&M College of Law. "If she knew her child had died or was missing, she was not acting like a grieving mother. It may be enough for a jury to convict her." Still, Moore says it's risky for prosecutors to rely so heavily on bad character evidence. "They're asking a jury to decide, 'She's a bad person, so she must have killed the child.' I think that's a big leap for a jury to have to make," Moore said. Prosecutors used forensic evidence to bolster the case, primarily from Anthony's car and Caylee's remains. Shortly after their daughter and granddaughter disappeared in June 2008, Casey's parents got a notice that their daughter's car had been towed and needed to be claimed. George Anthony and the tow lot operator both said the Pontiac Sunfire smelled like death. Prosecutors played a tape of a frantic 911 call made by Anthony's mother, Cindy, reporting her granddaughter missing. Jurors took notes as they watched the grieving grandmother drop her head in tears while listening to the recording in which she said: "It smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car." That smell is a major component of the prosecution's case. They called Arpad Vass, a senior researcher at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, who offered what's arguably the most controversial evidence so far. Vass and a colleague used a syringe to extract air from a can holding a carpet sample from the Pontiac, then injected the air into a special instrument to identify the substances it contained. Pomeroy insurance agencies merge POMEROY – The insurance agencies of Brogan-Warner and Downing-Childs & Musser have joined together to create a new agency.

Second St., in Pomeroy (the former Downing-Childs & Musser location) and the Home National Bank building in Racine. The current office of Brogan-Warner on East Main Street will close. Phone numbers will remain the same for the convenience of customers - 9926687 and 992-3381. Larry Simmons will be president and CEO and John Musser will be general manager of the Simmons-Musser & Warner Agency in Pomeroy. Insurance agents will be John Musser, Michael Warner, David White, Heidi Anderson, Erica Stone, Stephanie Fife, Gloria Compston, and Larry Simmons. The motto of the new agency is “Insurance Made Easy.” The substances were compared against a database of more than 400 chemical compounds Vass has previously identified from the decomposition of bodies.

A person with knowledge of the talks tells The Associated Press that the negotiations have continued Wednesday and they include lawyers for both sides. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the meeting are not being made public. On Tuesday, several people familiar with the talks told the AP that significant progress was being made toward ending the owners’ lockout of the players, now in its fourth month. There is even optimism that a new collective bargaining agreement could be reached by early July, allowing training camps to open on time later next month. “Probably a sense of urgency with the season just around the corner,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said Wednesday. “The general understanding from everybody is that if we don’t have something done by July it would be hard to start on time.” Previous “secret” meetings have taken place in Chicago and New York. Such sessions have been critical in past NFL negotiations, dating to the 1980s. “I know that we’ve been talking pretty extensively over the last few weeks,” Brees added. “It seems like things are moving in the right direction, which is very positive. It’s what we always hoped for as players because obviously we’re getting to crunch-time here.” Movement toward an agreement also might be in both sides’ best interest after a federal appeals court judge warned the owners and players they might not like the upcoming decisions in legal actions sparked by the lockout. Indeed, the court could delay any rulings if a new CBA appears to be near. Although no deadlines have been set for the opening of training camps, the 32 teams soon must decide whether to delay them, particularly those clubs that stage a portion of camp out of town. Settling before July 4 almost certainly would provide for full training camps at previously planned locations, although the Minnesota Vikings have said they could delay until July 18 an announcement on whether they will train at their usual site in Mankato. First would come a free agency period, including the signing of undrafted rookies, and probably minicamps, which already have been canceled by the lockout that began March 12. The lockout also has cost the league and some teams advertising and sponsorship money, and some players have not collected workout bonuses. At least seven teams have instituted pay cuts or furloughs of employees who are not players. Plus, it could all come crashing down if one side decides compromise is not in its interest. “Much can still go wrong — every negotiating session is unique to itself,” said Don Yee, who represents Tom Brady and is an adjunct law professor at USC. “Just because one day was good doesn’t mean the next day will be, too.” LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds have assured themselves of a winning West Coast trip, something their starting pitchers have gone to great lengths to achieve. Johnny Cueto pitched seven sharp innings, Joey Votto hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth and the Reds beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Cincinnati’s rotation is 6-1 with a 1.94 ERA over the last nine games. “It’s very tough to do that on the West Coast,” Votto said. “Before I was called up, I think we had like half a decade since we had a winning West Coast road trip. We had a couple last year, and this year we’ve been very competitive — especially against two good teams. “I think the Dodgers are a little underrated, and the Giants are World Series champs. So to be able to split a series in San Francisco and then come here and win the first two is a big deal.” Cueto (4-2) limited the Dodgers to an unearned run and five hits in a reprise of his June 4 matchup with Clayton Kershaw at Cincinnati, where neither got a decision in the Dodgers’ 11-8 victory in 11 innings. It was the 100th career start by Cueto, who beat Los Angeles for the first time in five starts. “Johnny looked great,” Votto said. “He pounds the zone and locates his fastball. He’s aggressive and he seems fearless. I mean, Matt Kemp’s got 20 homers and he’s hitting .330, and Johnny’s going right after him. That says a lot.” Kemp singled, struck out and grounded into a double play against Cueto after coming in 5 for 9 against him with two homers. The hit came on a blooper over first base and just out of the reach of Votto in the fourth, but Kemp took too wide a turn at first base and was erased in a 3-4-1-6-4-1 rundown. “Cueto was mixing speeds pretty good and hitting his spots,” Dodgers first baseman James Loney said. “He got me on a slider and a changeup. He’s a battler and he’s got pretty good movement on his pitches.” Logan Ondrusek pitched a scoreless eighth and Francisco Cordero got three outs for his 14th save in 16 chances and the 304th of his career, tying Jeff Montgomery for 19th place. Cordero walked Kemp with one out, then threw over to first base six times before »»»» reen Go G » Michael Robinson Chavez/Los Angeles Times/MCT Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Jamey Carroll (14) reacts to umpire Greg Gibson's ruling that Drew Stubbs, right, of the Cincinnati Reds was safe at second in the sixth inning at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday. Kemp stole his 16th base of the season and scored on Loney’s single. But pinch-hitter Casey Blake struck out and Rod Barajas popped out with the potential tying run at second. Kershaw allowed a run and four hits over seven innings in his 100th big league appearance and 98th start. The 23-year-old lefty warmed up for the eighth, but manager Don Mattingly lifted him after the Reds sent up Miguel Cairo to pinch-hit. Cairo greeted Blake Hawksworth (1-2) with a single and advanced on Drew Stubbs’ first sacrifice bunt of the season. He was held at third on Brandon Phillips’ sharp single to left, but scored when Votto greeted Scott Elbert with a single on the left-hander’s second pitch. “He was difficult in Cincinnati on me,” Votto said. “He’s a tough left-hander who’s got two good pitches, but I happened to get a good pitch to hit.” Kershaw had given up six runs in each of his previous two starts — both of them no-decisions — after shutting out Florida with a twohitter for his fourth straight victory. Votto, who hit a three-run homer against Kershaw the last time they faced each other, struck out his first two times up and was 0 for 3 against him. “I thought he was Personal Training, Zumba and Spin Classes Hours: Mon. - Thur. 7am - 7pm Fri. 7am - 4pm • Sat. 8am - 12pm Contact Number: 992-2161 Check us out on Facebook at Meigs Wellness Center A program offered by the Meigs County Council on Aging, Inc.

Scott Rolen, who sat out Monday because of a sore left foot, tied the score 1-all with a fourth-inning double to left after Kershaw walked Jay Bruce with two outs. Bruce tried to score behind Stubbs on the hit, but was thrown out at the plate on a relay from Tony Gwynn Jr. to shortstop Dee Gordon to Barajas. Stubbs was 0 for 12 against Kershaw before his leadoff single. He drove in the Reds’ third run with a ninth-inning single off Mike MacDougal. “I told him before the game started that we’ll give him off tomorrow. And we have a day off Thursday, so I just told him to give me all he had tonight,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “Sometimes these West Coast trips take a lot out of you, and this one has us dragging a little bit.” Jamey Carroll’s hard but clean takeout slide at second base enabled the Dodgers to score an unearned run in the first.

Bitter rivals in football — and just about anything else for that matter — the schools are finalizing details to play each other in hockey at Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Indians. A person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press that the Buckeyes and Wolverines will skate in January at the 43,000seat ballpark. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because negotiations were ongoing and any announcement on the first major outdoor hockey game in Ohio is still days away. Ohio State and Michigan are members of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, and the matchup would be a home game for the Buckeyes. Michigan has already played wildly successful outdoor games, hosting rival Michigan State last December in “The Big Chill at the Big House,” which drew more than 100,000 fans to the Wolverines’ colossal football stadium.

An outdoor hockey game would be the latest attempt by the Indians to generate revenue with their downtown ballpark. Last winter, the Indians hosted “Snow Days” at Progressive Field, turning the 17-year-old stadium into a winter wonderland with a tubing hill and skating track. Last week, the Indians hosted just the second musical concert in the ballpark’s history. Country star Brad Paisley and other acts drew more than 25,000 fans for the first show at Progressive Field since 1995, when Jimmy Buffett played in what was then known as Jacobs Field. Outdoor hockey has become very popular in recent years, transporting the sport back to its purest fresh-air roots when kids learned the game on frozen ponds. The NHL’s Winter Classic, played last season in the rain in Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field, has given the league a showcase event to draw fans from outside its hardcore base. Previous Winter Classics have been held outdoors in Buffalo’s Ralph Wilson Stadium, Boston’s Fenway Park and Chicago’s Wrigley Field. 200 rate Lost & Found Lost- Sammy male indoor cat, dark gray w/some striping, face is lighter, belly white, 15-20#, across from Meigs Elementary School, Reward $100, 740-742-2524 FOUND light brown cocker spaniel, 2nd Ave, Gallipollis.

Announcements Lighty, Diebler work out for Nets, talk OSU EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Talking about Ohio State and its scandal-ridden football program has become part of the program whenever David Lighty and Jon Diebler work out for NBA teams these days. The headquarters of New Jersey Nets was the latest stop for these two Buckeye basketball players Tuesday, and it was obvious the scandal has come up repeatedly after the seniors showcased their talents for next week’s draft. Lighty appeared to laugh under his breath when the first Ohio State question was posed, and Diebler admitted he probably has heard at least one Ohio State joke at each of his eight NBA workouts. What can you do? Ohio State, Jim Tressel and Terrelle Pryor are hot topics, and the players are simply dealing with it. They’re just as certain, though, that Ohio State is a great school that will bounce back, and that Tressel and Pryor are good people who made mistakes. Pryor was suspended for accepting improper benefits, such as cash and discounted tattoos, and he eventually left school. Before that, the scandal led to Tressel’s Other Services forced resignation. The coach acknowledged knowing his players were taking improper benefits, but covered it up for more than nine months before university officials discovered his knowledge. “It’s an unfortunate situation,” said Diebler, the Big Ten’s all-time leader in 3-pointers (374). “Coach Tressel is a great guy. Terrelle Pryor is a great guy. I think the general perception from the public is these people are not good people (for) what they did to the program and this and that. “Did they make a mistake? Yes. But are they bad people? No.” Living in the dorms, Lighty got to know Pryor and several other members of the football team. However, he had no inkling anyone was receiving improper benefits or getting cut-rate tattoos. He said the situation caught him off guard, but he insisted that football players are not running amok breaking rules. “Not at all, not at all,” Lighty said. “Things that people see are not what you always see or hear until you know what is really going on. When everything is said and done, people will get a better idea of what happened with the whole situation.” 400 Pictures that have been placed in ads at the Gallipolis Daily Tribune must be picked within 30 days.

Lighty always liked to talk to Tressel. “He is a great guy. What happened is unfortunate,” he said. “I thought I would never see the day he would leave Ohio State University. I wish him nothing but the best, and I am sure he does the same for Ohio State.” Diebler, who is getting married next week, has no doubt that Ohio State’s image has been tarnished. “From the outside looking in, you might have a different perception of the whole university in general. But we know how the university is run,” he said. “We know the people in charge. Yes, a mistake was made by multiple people with the football program, but at the end of the day, everyone still wakes up the next day. Ohio State is going to be Ohio State, regardless, one of the best universities in the country, one of the largest. We’ll recover.” Coming to New Jersey brought back bad memories for the players.

Maybe I could have gotten some revenge and played a lot better or something like that in this workout. It’s a great place. Things didn’t go our way that game. They made the shots when they needed them. It was a great game for college basketball.” Neither Lighty, who started 125 games as a Buckeye and averaged 12.1 points this past season, nor Diebler, who averaged 12.6 points, knows if they will be drafted at all next week. Lighty is hoping for a late call in the first round. On his end, Diebler, who was Lighty’s roommate on the road, isn’t so sure. “I come in and try to play as hard as I can,” said Diebler, who says his goal is to show teams that he is more than simply a shooter. “It only takes one team to like you.” But if Diebler goes to an NBA team, he won’t be sporting any tattoos anytime soon. “I’m afraid of needles,” he said.

Serena opened her first service game with one of her own. Pironkova, who reached the semifinal at Wimbledon last year but had won only four matches this year, capitalized on fierce groundstrokes. After trailing 40, Williams smacked her racket into the turf in disgust. On winning her first game to make it 5-1, the former top-ranked player heard the rare sound of sympathetic applause. Her opponent then took the set with a forehand winner. Soon Williams began to look — and sound — like her old self. She greeted winners, and an improving first serve, with cries of “c’mon.” Leading 5-3 in the second set, she trailed 0-30 but responded with a 120 mph ace down the middle and a 114 mph ace out wide. Williams was still below her best in the third set, and Pironkova’s flat groundstrokes continued to do damage. She rallied to 22, but Williams immediately broke again and served it out at 5-4. Next up is a repeat of the 2010 Wimbledon final against top-seeded Vera Zvonareva, a 6-3, 6-3 winner over British wild card Heather Watson. “She’s a great player and I have nothing to lose,” Williams said. “I’m going to go in there and do what I can do. Whatever happens, happens.” In other matches, Ana Ivanovic advanced to a second-round match against with Venus Williams with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Julia Goerges of Germany. The former No. 1ranked Serb won her last two events of 2010, but she has lost in the first round in four of her 10 tournaments this season. Her semifinal last week in Birmingham was her first of the year. “I don’t expect myself to go out there and play great every match,” Ivanovic said. “I just expect myself to work hard. But it’s hard. I do have to think about going back to basics.” Defending champion Ekaterina Makarova labored to a 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 win over Croatian qualifier Mirjana Lucic. French Open runner-up Francesca Schiavone advanced with a 7-6 (7), 6-1 win over Kaia Kanepi. On the men’s side, topseeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga won his first round-match against Denis Istomin 6-2, 7-5, a day after losing the delayed Queen’s final to Andy Murray. A foot injury forced former Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt to quit his match against Olivier Rochus while trailing 6-2, 3-0. Fourth-seeded Guillermo Garcia-Lopez lost 6-3, 64 to Somdev Devvarman of India. Sixth-seeded Kevin Anderson defeated Alexander Slabinsky of Britain, and American qualifier Donald Young beat Daniel Cox 6-1, 7-5. T-shirts huddle around defensive captain Domata Peko, who holds up a clipboard loaded with plays and flips to a particular one. The Bengals defense gets into position and runs through the play. Afterward, a veteran takes a young player aside to explain an intricacy in the pass coverage. Others talk among themselves about how it turned out. Then, they line up and do it again. The NFL’s lockout has turned players into coaches. Coaching staffs aren’t allowed any contact with players during the lockout, leaving them to organize, work out and practice the playbooks on their own. Instead of a coach running the show, the players decide what to practice and how to do it. It’s quite a role reversal for some of them. “I like to lead by example and the way I work,” said Peko, who organized the defense’s two weeks of workouts at a suburban soccer complex. “I’m on my sixth year this season, so now I can talk without feeling like a young guy. Now I can speak up more and guys seem to respect that, so it’s going really well.” It’s that way across the NFL, with teams getting together on their own and working out without coaches telling them what to do. Nobody blows a whistle to stop a sloppy play or gets in a player’s face for missing an assignment. Things are a lot quieter — maybe too quiet at times. “It’s nice, but coaches are always a great motivator,” defensive lineman Tank Johnson said Tuesday. “Like player-toplayer breeds competition, coaches bring out the best in the players. Part of me misses having the coaches around.” There’s more to it than calling plays. Peko and offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth — the team’s union representative — became team managers while organizing the two weeks of workouts. They arranged to have the soccer facility and the University of Cincinnati’s field available for practices; booked hotel rooms for rowed equipment from a local high school; ordered food for after practice. They even clean up after themselves. Following a full-team practice last week at UC, quarterbacks Jordan Palmer and Andy Dalton filled their arms with water bottles and blocking pads and headed for the storage area. Palmer couldn’t recall the last time he’s had to put the equipment away. “It’s been a while,” he said. They try to run the practice the way coaches handle offseason team workouts, working on a little bit more of the playbook each day while making sure rookies and other newcomers learn the nuances. “We’ve been able to get after the playbook and chop away at that and get these young guys some experience on the field with all the play calls and hand signals,” Peko said. “I know how important the (offseason workouts) are. Those aren’t happening, so you need something like this to get things going.” With no coaches around, younger veterans have to act more like leaders. Third-year out- move to the middle this season, giving him a lot more responsibility. He’s using the informal workouts to grow into the role. “Last year, I was just a person that was following the crowd, just listening,” Maualuga said. “Now I feel my presence and the way to speak to the guys will help one or two people. I’m just trying to be that leader and no matter how it works out, when the season starts I’m trying to be that captain. That’s my goal. “When it’s third-andshort, I want everybody to look in my eyes and feel confidence knowing I can call a play, line everybody up and make that play.” Peko thinks it’s especially important for the Bengals to get together and clear out the cobwebs from their 4-12 season. “When you have such a bad season like last year, people start pointing fingers and stuff,” Peko said. “I think the only way to get away from that is to go back to the basics, get better, look yourself in the mirror and say, ‘How can I get better?’” A coach couldn’t have put it better. Hitless until 8th, Indians lose AL Central lead DETROIT (AP) — The Cleveland Indians are trying to take their slump in stride. Justin Verlander nearly pitched another nohitter, taking his latest bid into the eighth inning to lead the Detroit Tigers past Cleveland 4-0 Tuesday night and into first place in the AL Central. “It isn’t almost a nohitter — we got two hits, and he didn’t take it into the ninth inning,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “Our kids are young, but they aren’t naive. They know there are no trophies for first place in June.” The Indians have scored two runs in their last four games and have been shut out four times in the last 10. “We want to know the answer just as much as anyone,” said Orlando Cabrera, who broke up Verlander’s no-hit bid with an eighth-inning single. “Our entire offense seems to be missing right now. We can’t let go. We have to keep competing. This division is wide open.” Detroit has a onegame lead over Cleveland — with nearly 100 games left in the season — and a 10game cushion over the surging Minnesota Twins. “We’ve got to keep pushing,” Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera said. Still missing injured slugger Travis Hafner, the Indians lost for the 15th time in 20 games and fell out of first place for the first time since April 6. Verlander has won his last four starts and hasn’t lost since April 27. Back then, Justin Masterson was on a roll for the Indians. Since then, he’s been in a slump for a team plummeting after a strong start. Masterson (5-5) gave up four runs — two earned — on seven hits and five walks over 6 13 innings. He is 0-5 since his last victory April 26. “I feel for the guy,” Acta said. “He keeps pitching well, but we’re not hitting.” Verlander (8-3) had a season-high 12 strikeouts in a two-hitter. He walked one, hit a batter and has won six straight decisions. With two no-hitters already on his resume, including one in Toronto last month, Verlander held the slumping Indians hitless until Orlando Cabrera lined a clean single to center with one out in the eighth. “With that guy, you feel lucky any time you get a hit,” Cabrera said. “You just go up there and keep battling and hope he throws you something you can get your bat on. “There’s no embarrassment when it is being done by one of the best pitchers in the game.” The crowd groaned when Cabrera smacked a single to center and flipped his bat toward Cleveland’s dugout when he was about halfway up the line. Verlander was told what Cabrera did and said he’d remember it even though the flipped bat might’ve been a sign of frustration more than disrespect or showmanship. “If he wants to flick his bat when it’s 4-0 and they just got their first hit in the eighth inning, if that’s the type of player he is, that’s fine,” Verlander said. “You can’t worry about guys like that.” Carlos Santana blooped a single to left with two outs in the ninth Tuesday and Verlander dropped briefly into a disappointed crouch. But he retired Michael Brantley on a routine grounder to end it. Andy Dirks drove in two runs for the Tigers, who have won 12 of 16 to move into sole possession of the division lead for the first time this year. NOTES: Hafner is beginning a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron. He has been on the DL since May 20 with a strained oblique. ...

She got up immediately and carried on the point, although she lost it. But it was not long before the 13-time Grand Slam champion was a winner once more. After nearly a year off the WTA Tour, Williams regrouped after a slow start to defeat Bulgaria’s Tsvetana Pironkova 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 Tuesday in the first round of a Wimbledon warmup. Williams was briefly worried about tweaking the right foot that was in a cast for 10 weeks. “I felt a little something. I got a little nervous,” she said. “I was like, ‘Oh.’ Then I thought this is grass. You know, you’re really moving. You’re stopping, you’re going. If I can survive this, especially with this long match, I’ll be good.” Wearing a pink dress that she said was inspired by French actress Brigitte Bardot, Williams walked onto the court to the song “I’m The World’s Greatest,” chosen by organizers. She was given a warm welcome when introduced to a stadium three-quarters full. She initially looked nothing like the player who lifted the 2010 Wimbledon trophy in her last tournament. Her movement was uncertain, and she appeared not to trust her groundstrokes or her usually dominant serve. She held for the first time at 5-0 down, with the help of her first ace. Williams reeled off the first three games of the second set to take control. Despite squandering a 2-0 lead in the last set, she broke again and victory was secure. “How difficult was the first set? It wasn’t too difficult, it wasn’t long,” Williams said. “It was over really fast. And I thought, well hopefully I can get some momentum. I think I was just a little anxious and missing a tremendous amount of shots.” Williams hadn’t played since July after cutting her foot on glass at a restaurant in Germany. She had surgery twice and later was diagnosed with pulmonary embolisms. By the time she served out the match after two hours on court, the 29year-old American was breathing heavily. She drew a warning for too much time between points. Williams thought the rebuke too harsh and wondered “whether had I been gone so long that they changed it.” Still, despite the struggle, Williams enjoyed her return. “After everything I’ve been through, it’s all fun to me now,” she said. “It’s all a bonus.” And not breaking a nail during the fall was a plus. “It’s definitely not cool on my nails if I fall,” she said. “I can potentially break one and that makes me really upset. I have three weeks to get through without breaking a nail.” Williams, unseeded because she has been away so long, looked unsure during warmups. And her play spilled into the match — she dropped the first set in 27 minutes. Her sister Venus, who returned from a hip injury after elp s H her’s U Let h Fat !
