The children were gathered for the ever-popular Nancy The Turtle Lady from Columbus. The Turtle Lady has visited the Meigs County District Public Library’s Summer Reading Program for several years now and like Bieber, she draws a lot of adoration from her young fans. Nancy Lockard, aka, The Turtle Lady, travels across the region educating young people on a variety of reptiles which include turtles, geckos, bearded dragons, toads and snakes. After showing the audience the different reptiles and encouraging the children to pick up books on the creatures, Lockard gave children in Meigs County the opportunity to get up close and personal with the animals.

MIDDLEPORT — All shifts are covered, but the number of officers on patrol in Middleport has been reduced due to budgetary issues. Middleport Police Chief Bruce Swift told village council last week the department continues to operate three shifts but with a reduction in force per shift. In March, council voted to defer a planned three-percent payraise for police officers and other public safety staff, and in April, two officers were laid off. One took a voluntary layoff, and another was transferred to the public works department. Those layoffs came after the village’s finance committee met to address a budget crunch created by a reduction in income tax and fine revenue and other income losses. “Preserving the police protection has become the top priority,” Gerlach said at the time of the layoffs, which he said were made only after other expenditures were cut. Swift said all three regular shifts are now covered by officers, but noted some shifts, particularly a lap-over shift that created increased enforcement when needed most, have seen a reduction in the number of officers at work. Village officials hope construction of a new 12bed jail as part of its $900,000 village hall project will increase revenue for police protection and other services, but once thought that income would allow the village to beef up its police force. Now, that jail will likely allow the village to hold its own financially with other reductions in services by creating revenue from other law enforcement jurisdictions using the facility. The new village hall and jail are now under construction on Pearl Street, in the old Middleport Elementary building. The village and police department hope to relocate into their new headquarters around the end of this year. �Thursday, June 23, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Area residents make URGʼs Deanʼs List The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 URG names area resident to merit list 4-H and other youth camping programs RIO GRANDE-- The Office of Records has released the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College Spring Semester 2010-2011 Merit List.

POMEROY – Four summer camps open to all area youth, not just 4-H members, are being offered through the Washington County Ohio State University Extension office this year. Senior Camp, for youth who have completed the sixth, seventh, eighth or ninth grades, will be held July 4 through 8. Cloverbud Camp invites youth ages five to eight who have completed kindergarten to attend on July 13. Beginner Camp, for youth who have completed second grade and through the age of 10, will be July 13 and 14. And an all-youth camp for those who have completed third, fourth, fifth or sixth grades, Junior Camp will be July 18 through 22. All of the 4-H camps are being held at Hervida 4-H Camp near Waterford. Hervida has a swimming pool, girls/boys cabins, modern restrooms, many activity areas and hiking trails. Emphaiss will be on developing knowledge and skills related to outdoor education, creative arts, citizenship, recreational activities, singing, and other special activities that have immense appeal to young people. “Organized camping is more than mosquito bites and soggy tennis shoes. It is an important "learning laboratory" where children can and do develop many life skills,” said Maggie Webster, Camp Director, Ohio State University Extension, “The Ohio 4-H program defines organized camping as cooperative group living in a natural environment which focuses on the individual's social, spiritual, mental, and physical development. Important life skills learned at camp include responsibility, decision making, cooperation, leadership, and increased self-esteem,” she added. “The development of these skills result from living with carefully selected and trained adult staff members and teenage camp counselors who teach by the way they relate to each other and the campers, solve problems, and care for materials and equipment.” She said another aspect that encourages learning and reinforcing the development of these life skills is the context of “camp”—simply living in a cabin with a group of kids of the same age, laughing together, working together, and sharing experiences unique to the camp environment. Activities at the July camps include nature classes, crafts, campfire, recreation, swimming, and group living.

Obama address: Withdrawing surge troops by 2012 WASHINGTON (AP) — Pulling home the Americans he sent to war, President Barack Obama plans to announce Wednesday night the withdrawal of more than 30,000 troops from Afghanistan by the November 2012 election, hastening the end of the long conflict that has been more costly than ever envisioned when launched in response to the 2001 attacks on America. In an address from the White House, Obama was expected to say that he was withdrawing 10,000 troops by the end of this year, according to administration and Pentagon officials. He aims to bring an additional 20,000 home by the end of next year, accounting for basically all the extra forces he ordered to Afghanistan in late 2009 to turn around a flailing war effort. Still, that would leave some 70,000 U.S. troops in unstable Afghanistan in a war bound to see more American lives lost. The United States and its NATO allies hope to end the combat mission and fully turn over control to Afghan forces by the end of 2014, a transition period that may finally bring the war to an end. Obama is under mounting political pressure to wind down the war, especially since Osama bin Laden, the man considered to be the face of it, is dead. U.S. forces found and killed the al-Qaida leader in Pakistan in May, a significant blow to an organization that nevertheless still threatens the United States. At least 1,500 members of the U.S. military have died and 12,000 have been wounded since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001. The financial cost of the war has passed $440 billion and is on the rise given the heavy troop commitment, jumping to $120 billion a year, twice the total of two years ago. The decision to start withdrawing forces in July amounts to a pledge kept by Obama. Yet the scope and pace of the drawdown have been hotly debated. The military lobbied for a more modest troop reduction and Obama promised a significant one as support for the war by the country and Congress faded. The initial withdrawal is expected to happen in two phases, with 5,000 troops coming home this summer and an additional 5,000 by the end of the year, a senior U.S. defense official said. For Obama, the goal is to explain a stay-the-course moment of progress to the American people — the U.S. is not yet leaving Afghanistan — without the trappings of a major war address. He was speaking from the all-purpose East Room, not the Oval Office, and he was expected to speak for about 10 to 15 minutes, half the time he spent when he announced the troop surge almost 19 months ago. Obama is arguing that the reinforcements he sent have accomplished their mission: eroding the capacity of Taliban insurgents and providing time and training for Afghanistan's forces to get ready to lead their own country. The United States remains in Afghanistan primarily to keep it from becoming a haven for alQaida, the terrorist network that based training operations there before launching the worst attacks on American soil on Sept. 11, 2001. Obama's ultimate goal is to defeat alQaida. Most Americans oppose the war in Afghanistan and are far more concerned about the teetering economic recovery at home. A new AP-GfK poll out Wednesday found that Obama's approval rating on handling Afghanistan dipped to 52 percent, falling 13 points from its high of 65 percent in May just after the death of bin Laden. In Afghanistan on Wednesday, the nation's Defense Ministry said the NATO-trained military was ready to take responsibility for fighting Taliban insurgents and securing key parts of the country. Many Afghans are eager to see the Americans leave, yet there are big risks for the government there. "There will be some battles, there will be suicide attacks and bomb attacks," acknowledged Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi. "But we in the Afghan forces are prepared to replace the foreign forces, and I'm confident the army has enough capacity and ability." The president reached his withdrawal decision a week after receiving a range of options from Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan. Obama informed his senior national security advisers, including outgoing Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, of his plans during a White House meeting Tuesday. "The president is commander in chief," spokesman Jay Carney said. "He is in charge of this process, and he makes the decision." The administration has begun briefing NATO allies on its plans. British Prime Minister David Cameron's office confirmed that officials there have been informed but declined to offer comment, or to make any immediate statement on the plans for about 9,500 British forces in Afghanistan. A reduction this year totaling 10,000 U.S. troops would be the rough equivalent of two brigades, which are the main building blocks of an Army division. It's not clear whether Obama's decision would require the Pentagon to pull out two full brigades or, instead, withdraw a collection of smaller combat and support units with an equivalent number of troops.

Dear Dr. Brothers: When my husband and I first had our son three years ago, I thought my husband was the greatest dad ever. You couldn't tear him away from our little boy for anything. Last month, we had a daughter, and his response is almost the complete opposite of how he acted with our son. He seems very uninterested and shows her almost no signs of affection. I really don't know what happened or what to think. Please help. — S.S. Dear S.S.: It certainly must be troubling to have your husband react in such a cool and uninterested way to your new baby. It is worth discussing when you have some quiet time together and you can question him in a nonaccusatory way about why his response to his second child seems to be so different from his response to the first. Notice I said "first" and "second" child rather than focusing on the boy-or-girl issue, as you did. Why? Because it seems more likely that his mood has been affected by the addition of a second child to the household — double the stress, responsibility, cost and energy needed to cope. Any of these factors could be bothering him to the point of not having anything left right now for his daughter. If that's clearly not what's on his mind, it may be that he doesn't know how to relate to a little girl as well, and is just feeling uncomfortable in some way. You can talk to him about having a daughter and a son, and see what expectations and feelings are brought out. Your second child may have a different personality, which he couldhave a hard time relating to, or he may even feel guilty about giving her attention that he used to lavish only on his son. Dr. Joyce Brothers There are all sorts of possibilities. The only way you're going to find out quickly what's off is to ask. Then be prepared to help your husband adjust to the new world of having two kids. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I first noticed my 8-yearold's horrible posture when I picked him up from school last week. He looked like some kind of wilting weed. I'm trying to get him to correct this (not by degrading him, as my mother did to me), but my husband says it's no big deal and it's something he'll grow out of. I'm just worried about how people will see him if he continues to look so slumped over all the time. Don't you think bad posture can make a bad impression? — C.T. Dear C.T.: Yes, I agree that bad posture is a key component of body language that makes a bad impression. All sorts of unflattering characteristics are imparted to children or adults with bad posture ... people tend to think a slumped-over person is ill, depressed, weak, unhealthy, unfit or just plain unattractive. So while your son may grow out of it, there is no reason he shouldn't be made aware of just how much his posture says about him. Even at a young age, having good posture can show a sense of confidence and fitness. You can help your son with his posture by making sure he has plenty of chances to use his body in physical ways during the day — encourage any kinds of games and sports that will keep him moving and build up his strength, and pay attention to his inner life as well. Is he slumping for a reason? It's your job to find out. A good posture even can contribute to feeling more powerful, according to research by the Kellogg School of Management. In experiments, they found that power's role was less important than posture's in activating power-related behavior. While your son doesn't need to worry about stepping up the corporate ladder for quite a while, he could be gaining positive feelings by standing up straight and giving people the impression that he's a strong, healthy and enthusiastic young boy. Don't nag him, but help him feel the part of a boy with good posture.

It would ignite inflation. It was useless. Opinions of the Federal Reserve's program to buy $600 billion in Treasury bonds diverged sharply after the Fed unveiled it in November. Now, as the Fed wraps up its latest policy meeting Wednesday, the bond purchases are about to expire. In the end, most experts suggest, they probably didn't hurt and might have helped the economy, at least temporarily. The bigger question, though, is: What happens now? The program was dubbed QE2 — not for the Queen Elizabeth ocean liner but as short-hand for "quantitative easing." It's the wonky term economists use for a tool the Fed can use to drive down long-term interest rates. It does so by buying Treasury bonds. QE2 marked the second round of such easing the Fed had taken; the first was in March 2009, at the height of the recession. Supporters say the bond purchases worked, in part by keeping rates low and encouraging spending. Low long-term rates are vital for consumers who are buying homes and cars and for companies that are making investments. They also argue that those lower rates fueled a stock rally. When Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke outlined plans for QE2 in late August, the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index had fallen 6 percent for the year. In the eight months that followed, the S&P 500 jumped 28 percent. Lower rates made stocks more attractive than bonds, whose yields were falling. Much of the benefit from QE2 came before the bond buys actually began. Bond investors helped drive down long-term rates in anticipation of the purchases. From the time Bernanke revealed plans for QE2, for example, until the purchases began in November, the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage sank from 4.36 percent to 4.17 percent. That was a 40-year low. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said the bond purchases gave a sagging economy a boost by slightly reducing borrowing costs for businesses and consumers and by raising stock prices to make people feel wealthier. Still, it didn't much energize home buying or other major purchases. "It wasn't a slam dunk success, but it was worthwhile," Zandi said. Critics, including some Fed officials, saw things differently. They warned that by pumping so much money into the economy, the Fed increased the risks of high inflation later. They say the Fed's outpouring of dollars lowered the currency's value and contributed to the recent spike in oil and food prices. They also worry that the bond purchases fed speculative buying that could inflate bubbles in the prices of stocks or other assets. Some of the harshest criticism came from abroad. Officials in China, Brazil and Russia complained that by devaluing the dollar, the Fed's efforts gave U.S. exports an unfair advantage. A lower dollar makes U.S. goods cheaper overseas and foreign goods more expensive in the United States. Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega warned last fall that the Fed's efforts could spur a global currency war. In April, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin denounced what he called monetary "hooliganism."

In a speech this month, Bernanke hit back at critics. He argued that the jump in oil prices was due to instability in the Middle East and rising energy demand in fast-growing countries such as China. He said the rise in food prices was due mainly to supply shortages caused by bad weather. And he said the dollar's declining value was caused mainly by slower U.S. growth and a huge U.S. trade deficit. Many critics have raised a more fundamental complaint: that the program didn't achieve its goal of increasing growth. The economy grew only weakly in the first three months of the year, thanks to high gasoline prices, government budget cuts and sluggish consumer spending. And the economy may be growing only slightly better in the current quarter. Consumers remain squeezed by gas prices, scant pay increases and a depressed housing market. "I think there were some positive effects to the bond buying, but they were fairly transitory," said David Wyss, former chief economist at S&P and now a visiting fellow at Brown University. Still, Zandi said critics should recall that a year ago, the economy was facing the threat of deflation — a destabilizing period of falling prices. He said that the bond buying helped banish that threat while strengthening the economy slightly. The bond purchases are set to expire June 30. Most economists say they aren't worried that rates on consumer and business loans will rise. They note that the Fed is hardly halting its Treasury purchases. It will still be the biggest market buyer, by reinvesting in Treasurys as its existing holdings come due. Those purchases should help keep longterm rates low. New details are emerging that indicate the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan is far worse than previously known, with three of the four affected reactors experiencing full meltdowns. Meanwhile, in the U.S., massive flooding along the Missouri River has put Nebraska's two nuclear plants, both near Omaha, on alert. The Cooper Nuclear Station declared a low-level emergency and will have to close down if the river rises another 3 inches. The Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant has been shut down since April 9, in part due to flooding. At Prairie Island, Minn., extreme heat caused the nuclear plant's two emergency diesel generators to fail. Emergency-generator failure was one of the key problems that led to the meltdowns at Fukushima. In May, in reaction to the Fukushima disaster, Nikolaus Berlakovich, Austria's federal minister of agriculture, forestry, environment and water management, convened a meeting of Europe's 11 nuclear-free countries. Those gathered resolved to push for a nuclear-free Europe, even as Germany announced it will phase out nuclear power in 10 years and push ahead on renewable-energy research. Then, in last week's national elections in Italy, more than 90 percent of voters resoundingly rejected Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's plans to restart the country's nuclear-power program. Leaders of national nuclear-energy programs are gathering this week in Vienna for the International Atomic Energy Agency's Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Safety. The meeting was called in response to Fukushima. Ironically, the ministers, including U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chairman Gregory Jaczko, held their meeting safely in 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 a country with no nuclear power plants. Austria is at the forefront of Europe's new anti-nuclear alliance. The IAEA meeting was preceded by the release of an Associated Press report stating that consistently, and for decades, U.S. nuclear regulators lowered the bar on safety regulations in order to allow operators to keep the nuclear plants running. Nuclear power plants were constructed in the U.S. in the decades leading up to the Three Mile Island disaster in 1979. These 104 plants are all getting on in years. The original licenses were granted for 40 years. The AP's Jeff Donn wrote, "When the first ones were being built in the 1960s and 1970s, it was expected that they would be replaced with improved models long before those licenses expired." Enormous upfront construction costs, safety concerns and the problem of storing radioactive nuclear waste for thousands of years drove away private investors. Instead of developing and building new nuclear plants, the owners -- typically for-profit companies like Exelon Corp., a major donor to the Obama campaigns through the years -- simply try to run the old reactors longer, applying to the NRC for 20-year extensions. Europe, already ahead of the U.S. in development and deployment of renewable-energy technology, is now poised to accelerate in the field. In the U.S., the NRC has provided preliminary approval of the Southern Company's planned expansion of the Vogtle power plant in Georgia, which would allow the first construction of new nuclear power plants in the U.S. since Three Mile Island. The project got a boost from President Barack Obama, who pledged an $8.3 billion federal loan guarantee. Southern plans on using Westinghouse's new AP1000 reactor. But a coalition of environmental groups has filed to block the permit, noting that the new reactor design is inherently unsafe. Obama established what he called his Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future. One of its 15 members is John Rowe, the chairman and chief executive officer of Exelon Corp. (the same nuclear-energy company that has lavished campaign contributions on Obama). The commission made a fact-finding trip to Japan to see how that country was thriving with nuclear power -- one month before the Fukushima disaster. In May, the commission reiterated its position, which is Obama's position, that nuclear ought to be part of the U.S. energy mix. The U.S. energy mix, instead, should include a national jobs program to make existing buildings energy efficient, and to install solar and windpower technology where appropriate. These jobs could not be outsourced and would immediately reduce our energy use and, thus, our reliance on foreign oil and domestic coal and nuclear. Such a program could favor U.S. manufacturers, to keep the money in the U.S. economy. That would be a simple, effective and sane reaction to Fukushima.

She credits Halliday with getting her into broadcast management after a year of teaching in an elementary school. That career as manager of WJEH for the next 17 years was a time of highlights including being named the first woman president of the Ohio Association of Broadcasters, president of the American Women in Radio and Television, receiving the award of First Woman in Broadcasting from AWRT, and then being named to Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame. The radio award was just one of the many “firsts” in Campbell’s long career in business. After retiring from Holzer, Campbell said she turned to volunteering her service in the community and today serves on many boards contributing her leadership skills and business knowledge to benefit programs and organizations, and to mentor young people as they move forward in their education and into a career.

Boehner says Obama lacks House support for Libya WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama lacks the support of the House for authorizing the U.S. military operation in Libya, Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday, as Congress sent conflicting messages about America's role in the NATO-led mission against Moammar Gadhafi. Leading Republicans and Democrats in the Senate are pushing a resolution to give Obama limited authority in the 3-month-old war, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., calling it a "clear statement to our allies, to the world, to the Libyan people and to Gadhafi that we support the administration's actions on Libya." The measure puts senators at odds with members of the House, including anti-war Democrats and tea partybacked Republicans, who question the legitimacy of the operation since Obama never sought congressional consent under the law. Boehner, speaking to reporters, was asked about the Senate effort led by Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., and Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee. "They're pushing for an authorization in Libya and I don't think that is where the House is," Boehner said. "The fact is the president has not made his case to the members of Congress. He's not made his case to the American people. We've been in this conflict for 90 days and the president hasn't talked to the American people for four or five weeks about why we're there, what our national interest is and why we should continue." Rank-and-file House Republicans planned to meet Wednesday afternoon to weigh two resolutions — one similar to the Senate measure that would allow the mission to continue and another to end the operation. A vote in the House is likely on Thursday. The Daily Sentinel • Page A5 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Forecast CBO: Debt crisis looms absent major policy changes WASHINGTON (AP) — A new report says that the national debt is on pace to equal the annual size of the economy within a decade, levels that could provoke a European-style debt crisis unless policymakers in Washington can slam the brakes on spiraling deficits. The Congressional Budget Office study released Wednesday offers a fresh reminder of what's at stake in ongoing talks led by Vice President Joe Biden that are aimed at slashing more than $2 trillion from the federal deficit over the coming decade as the price for permitting the government to take on more debt to pay current obligations. CBO, the non-partisan agency that calculates the cost and economic impact of legislation and government policy, says the nation's rapidly growing debt burden increases the probability of a fiscal crisis in which investors lose faith in U.S. bonds and force policymakers to make drastic spending cuts or tax increases. "As Congress debates the president's request for an increase in the statutory debt ceiling, the CBO warns of a more ominous credit cliff — a sudden drop-off in our ability to borrow imposed by credit markets in a state of panic," said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis. The findings aren't dramatically new, but the budget office's analysis underscores the magnitude of the nation's fiscal problems as negotiators struggle to lift the current $14.3 trillion debt limit and avoid a first-ever, market-rattling default on U.S. obligations. The Biden-led talks have proceeded slowly and are at a critical stage, as Democrats and Republicans remain at loggerheads over revenues and domestic programs like Medicare and Medicaid. With Republicans insisting that the level of deficit cuts at least equal the amount of any increase in the debt limit, it would take more than $2 trillion in cuts to carry past next year's elections. House GOP leaders have made it plain they only want a single vote before the elections. That $2 trillion-plus goal is proving elusive. And a top Senate Democrat warned Wednesday that it would be insufficient anyway. "While I am encouraged by the bipartisan nature of the leadership negotiations being led by Vice President Biden, I am concerned by reports the group may be focusing on a limited package that will not fundamentally change the fiscal trajectory of the nation," said Senate budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D. "That would be a mistake." Democratic leaders, however, held a news conference Wednesday to argue for more economic stimulus measures such as a proposal floated by the White House to extend a payroll tax cut enacted last year. The move demonstrates the continuing appeal of deficit-financed policy solutions — suggested even as warnings of the dangers of mounting debt grow louder and louder. "We absolutely need to reduce our deficit. We know that," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "But economists tell us that reducing spending is only half the equation. The other half is measures to create jobs." With the fiscal imbalance requiring the government to borrow more than 40 cents of every dollar it spends, CBO predicts that without a change of course the national debt will rocket from 69 percent of gross domestic product this year to 109 percent of GDP — the record set in World War II — by 2023. CBO's projections are based on a scenario that anticipates Bush-era tax cuts are extended and other current policies such as maintaining doctors' fees under Medicare are continued as well. The debt would far more stable under the budget office's official "baseline" that assumes taxes return to Clinton-era rates and that doctors absorb unrealistic fee cuts. Economists warn that rising debt threatens to devastate the economy by forcing interest rates higher, squeezing domestic investment, and limiting the government's ability to respond to unexpected challenges like an economic downturn. But most ominously, the CBO report warns of a "sudden fiscal crisis" in which investors would lose faith in the U.S. government's ability to manage its fiscal affairs. In such a fiscal panic, investors might abandon U.S. bonds and force the government to pay unaffordable interest rates. In turn, the report warns, Washington policymakers would have to win back the confidence of the markets by imposing spending cuts and tax increases far more severe than if they were to take action now. "Earlier action would permit smaller or more gradual changes and would give people more time to adjust to them, but it would require more sacrifices sooner from current older workers and retirees for the benefit of younger workers and future generations," CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf said in a blog post. »»»» reen Go G » Local Stocks COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Senate leaders are delaying a vote on a bill that would make broad changes to state election laws, including shortening the early voting period. Senate President Tom Niehaus says he's putting Wednesday's scheduled vote on hold because he wants to make sure he and other Republican members are comfortable with the bill. He says the vote could happen Thursday. The move comes after a Senate panel dropped a provision to require that voters have photo identification to cast a ballot in person. That idea is part of a separate bill pending in a Senate committee. Democrats and the American Civil Liberties Union say they would legally challenge the ID proposal. Niehaus says he's not concerned about future lawsuits, and he hopes to vote on the ID rule soon.

VWilliams, Nadal, Roddick advance at Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Fivetime champion Venus Williams needed three sets and nearly three hours to overcome the oldest player in the field Wednesday and reach the third round at Wimbledon. With rain delaying play on the other courts at the All England Club, Williams outlasted Kimiko Date-Krumm 6-7 (6), 6-3, 8-6 in a compelling battle under the sliding roof of Centre Court that featured great shot-making from both players. Williams relied on her big serve at key moments to overcome a gritty challenge from the 40-yearold Japanese player, who was the second oldest woman to reach the second round here in the Open era after Martina Navratilova. “She doesn’t play anywhere near her age,” said Williams, who again wore her original onepiece jumpsuit with a triangle cut out in the back, a gold belt and gold zipper. Following Williams on Centre Court was defending men’s champion Rafael Nadal, who cruised past Ryan Sweeting 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 to move into the third round, showing just how tough he’ll be to stop as he chases a third Wimbledon crown. The top-ranked Spaniard, who beat the American for the third time this year, all in straight sets, had only seven unforced errors to go with his 38 winners. Nadal broke Sweeting five times and lost serve just once. “I was playing very well,” said Nadal, who finished in style on the last two points with a running backhand passing shot down the line and a forehand volley into the open court. “The second and beginning of the third I had the match completely under control, but he had a few good shots.” Also advancing was fourth-seeded Andy Murray, who beat Tobias Kamke of Germany 6-3, 6-3, 7-5. The 24-year-old British player never lost serve, saving the only break point he faced, as he again pursues his bid to become the first homegrown male champion here since Fred Perry in 1936. Three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick played the final match on Centre Court, beating Victor Hanescu 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. The eighth-seeded American had 15 aces and only six unforced errors and faced only one break point. “I felt pretty good out there,” Roddick said. “Served well, returned well. There was only a couple shots that I wish I had back there tonight.” In women’s play, 2010 runner-up and No. 2seeded Vera Zvonareva beat fellow Russian Elena Vesnina 6-1, 7-6 (5). The opening contest ended with Date-Krumm hitting a backhand passing shot just wide to lose serve on match point after 2 hours, 56 minutes of play. Among those giving the players a standing ovation were all guests in the Royal Box, including Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall and wife of Prince Charles. Williams, who fell behind 5-1 in the first set before climbing back into the match, finished with 12 aces and 45 winners, one less than DateKrumm. Williams had 24 unforced errors, while Date-Krumm had 31. “It was tough. She came out and I just couldn’t seem to get a game,” Williams said. “She played so well and before I knew it the ball was past me every time in the first set.” It was the first time the two players — who have a combined age of 71 — have met in their long careers. “I thought she played unbelievable today,” Williams said. “I thought she had some luck on her side, too, with net cords, balls hitting lines. I just thought today was a perfect storm for her to try to get a win. Thankfully, I had some answers.” Williams, who turned 31 last week and is playing in her 15th straight Wimbledon, was pushed to the limit. Date-Krumm kept her off balance by ripping back her serves, hitting flat groundstrokes from corner to corner and sneaking into the net for drop volleys. The 57th-ranked DateKrumm made her Wimbledon debut in 1989, reached the semifinals in 1996 and retired later that year until her return in 2008. “I played my tennis and (showed) I can fight with Venus also,” DateKrumm said. “She’s a five-time champion here. She’s a great player. So I can fight with her. It was a very, very good match for me.” With rain pounding on the translucent roof, Williams and DateKrumm put on a fighting display of competitive tennis. The first set lasted 65 minutes, the third went 69 minutes. By comparison, Venus won her first match against Akgul Amanmuradova on Monday in 59 minutes. It was the third match played under the roof this week, with the tournament schedule already disrupted by rain. The roof was installed before the 2009 tournament and had been rarely used until this week. Matches eventually began after 3 p.m. on the outside courts Wednesday after the showers let up. The roof remained over Centre Court for Nadal’s match, then was opened for Roddick’s match against Hanescu. “The Wimbledon Centre Court with the roof or without the roof, is probably the best court of the world,” Nadal said. Nadal’s next opponent will be Gilles Muller, who advanced after bigserving Canadian Milos Raonic retired while leading 3-2 in the first set Wednesday. The 31stseeded Raonic, who led the men’s tour with 504 aces in 36 matches coming into Wimbledon, had been considered a threat on grass. Raonic said he would get an MRI scan on his hip. “It’s around both the inside and outside of the hip,” the Canadian said. “A minor pull on the inside, but on the outside, it’s regarding the joint. I knew right away. I didn’t think I could even lift my leg. It was a pretty sharp pain.” No. 14 Stanislas Wawrinka became the highest seeded man to lose so far, beaten in straight sets by Simone Bolelli 7-6 (5), 6-3, 7-6 (4). Among men advancing Wednesday were 2010 runner-up and sixth-seeded Tomas Berdych, who downed Julien Benneteau 6-1, 6-4, 6-2; No. 10 Mardy Fish, a 7-6 (6), 64, 6-4 winner over Denis Istomin; and No. 17 Richard Gasquet, who defeated Igor Kunitsyn 61, 6-4, 6-4. Women’s first-round winners included No. 13 Agnieszka Radwanska and No. 16 Julia Goerges. NEW YORK (AP) — Just in case the Cleveland Cavaliers need it, here’s some advice for what to do with those two high picks. Take Kyrie Irving first, grab Turkish big man Enes Kanter fourth, and start enjoying the postseason success you used to have when LeBron James was around. “If I play with Kyrie, I believe we can make playoffs,” Kanter said Wednesday. “I know we can make playoffs.” Or instead, pass on Irving and go with Arizona’s Derrick Williams, who can play inside or out, either forward spot, and would bring the mixture of power and athleticism back to your frontcourt that was lost when James left. “I feel like I am the most overall ready in this spot by my size and ready to make an impact,” Williams said. Even in what’s considered a less-than-stellar NBA draft, the Cavaliers have plenty of options Thursday night at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., when they become the first team since the 1983 Houston Rockets with two picks in the top four. They’re expected to start with Irving, considered the favorite since the Cavaliers won the lottery last month. Though the Duke point guard played just 11 games during his freshman season because of a toe injury on his right foot, the numbers he put in his limited time seem too good to pass up. “It definitely feels good, you know, knowing that I’m still projected to go No. 1,” Irving said. “We’ll see how it goes tomorrow, but it’s an honor to be at the No. 1 spot right now.” The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 17.5 points while shooting 53 percent from the floor, 46 percent from 3-point range and 90 percent from the foul line. He returned from his injury in time to play in the NCAA tournament — where his Blue Devils were overwhelmed by Williams in Arizona’s round of 16 victory — and he said that proves there should be no question about his health. “Playing in the NCAA tournament was the deciding factor for me,” Irving said. “If I didn’t play in the NCAA tournament, I would have been back at Duke for my sophomore season. I just wanted to kind of limit all the questions on my health and durability.” The Cavaliers also pick fourth — the No. 1 pick was acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers last season in Why Not MOW with the BEST MADE IN THE USA?

They were still weighing their options as of Wednesday afternoon with their first No. 1 pick since taking James in 2003. “They’re keeping their cards closely, as they should, and we’ll see how it goes tomorrow night,” Irving said. Minnesota holds the No. 2 pick and seems open to dealing it. Utah has Nos. 3 and 12, the latter potentially putting the Jazz in the difficult position of deciding whether they want to keep BYU star Jimmer Fredette in state. Fredette led the nation with 28.9 points per game and was honored by The Associated Press and nearly other organization that gives out a player of the year award. But he is perhaps the most scrutinized player in this draft full of question marks, with doubts over whether he has the quickness to get his shot off in the NBA or defend the much quicker guards he will face on a nightly basis. Not to worry. Fredette says during his carefully devised workout schedule — he performed for only Utah, Sacramento, Indiana, New York and Phoenix — he gained confidence that his game will translate. “I learned that I’m a very confident guy and that I can play against anyone,” Fredette said. “I feel like I can play all the guys out there, played against some of the toughest athletes and players that are guards in this draft. So it took away confidence and knowing that I can play in this league.” The criticism of the draft’s strength is due largely to the NBA’s uncertain labor situation. With the collective bargaining agreement set to expire June 30 and owners and players far apart on a new deal, the possibility of a lockout and a shortened or canceled 2011-12 season remains. Many of the players Wednesday were asked what they would do if their rookie seasons were placed on hold, but some likely lottery picks decided not to take the chance. Freshmen Harrison Barnes of North Carolina and Jared Sullinger of Ohio State are among the likely top-five selections who opted to stay in school. So some guys who would have gone lower could end up in the top 10, but the players dismiss talk of a weak draft. “If it’s weak, then hopefully I should go higher,” said Kemba Walker, who led Connecticut to the national championship. “I think it’s a great draft class, honestly,” Walker added, while saying it’s not like the 2003 class that put James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in the top five. “But we haven’t did anything yet,” Walker said. “We didn’t get a chance to prove ourselves yet. So we’re definitely going to this league with a chip on our shoulder and try to prove everyone wrong.” Walker and Kentucky’s Brandon Knight rank behind Irving on the list of available point guards. Jan Vesely of the Czech Republic and Lithuania’s Jonas Valanciunas are among the bigger options in a draft that could see the most Europeans taken in the first round since a record nine went in 2003. Questions remained in the final hours before the draft. Potential lottery picks Marcus Morris of Kansas, Chris Singleton of Florida State and Klay Thompson of Washington State were unable to be in New York on Wednesday because they were still working out for other teams. But Irving has no doubts about himself or his classmates. “It’s definitely a great opportunity,” he said. “Honestly, I don’t pay attention to what people are saying about this draft. I really am confident in this draft class in that we’re all achieving our dreams. This is something a lot of people don’t get to experience.” HUMP DAY Lunch Day 1st Wednesday of every month 11 - 1 Dave Diles Park $5.00 donation JULY 4th Activities Dave Diles Park 3-?

Yankees beat Reds 4-2 in DH opener CINCINNATI (AP) — A lot had happened since the last time Jorge Posada hit a homer. The catcher-turnedDH lost his spot as the Yankees’ extra hitter. He was dropped to ninth in the order and took himself out of the lineup for one day, prompting a spat with the front office and an apology. He’d been reduced to pinch hitting and playing sporadically. The only thing that hadn’t changed: no homers. Playing first base in the NL park, Posada ended the second-longest homer drought of his career on Wednesday, connecting on a two-run shot that sent New York to its fourth straight win, 4-2 over the Cincinnati Reds in the first game of a day-night doubleheader. Posada’s tiebreaking homer in the sixth off Mike Leake (6-4) ended his stretch of 126 at-bats without one. His last homer was April 23. It’s not like he was counting the days. “I don’t know when’s the last time I hit one, but I wasn’t trying to hit one,” Posada said. “They happen for me. I don’t care when they do happen. I’m happy they are, but I’m not going out trying to hit a home run.” Good timing on this one. New York moved a season-high 14 games over .500 at 43-29. The Yankees have matched their season high with four straight wins, and have 10 victories in their last 12 games. Although Posada hasn’t been hitting homers, he has gotten much better at the plate, recently putting together a ninegame hitting streak. He has raised his average from .165 to .227. “Huge hit for him today,” manager Joe Girardi said. “Love it! That ends up being the difference in the ballgame. You don’t need to hit home runs to be productive.” Freddy Garcia (6-6) gave up two unearned runs in seven innings against Cincinnati’s struggling offense. The Reds fell to 1-7 against the AL. They dropped two of three over the weekend to Toronto, and now the first two against the Yankees. The main problem: few runs, which makes it tougher on the pitching staff. “Yeah, it feels like it, but the offense will get back on track soon,” Leake said. “I’m not worried about the offense. You’ve just got to keep battling, and eventually they’ll score some runs for you.” Yankees third baseman Ramiro Pena committed three errors, including two in the fifth that gave the Reds their runs. Cincinnati has only seven earned runs in its last five games. Garcia lost his first two interleague starts this season, but regained his touch against the slumping Reds. He allowed three hits and one walk in seven innings. Garcia is 22-10 in 39 career interleague starts. The right-hander is 4-0 in four career starts against the Reds, all of them in Cincinnati and all of them for a different team. He played for the Mariners, the White Sox and the Phillies in the first three. Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth for his 19th save in 22 tries. He has a record 66 career saves in interleague games, including 22 in a row since 2006. Except for their rainout on Tuesday night that set up the doubleheader, the Yankees are enjoying their first visit to Cincinnati in eight years. They lead the majors in homers, but have cobbled most of their runs out of the simple stuff. They got a pair of runs in the third on Brett Gardner’s infield single, Curtis Granderson’s hitand-run single, Nick Swisher’s RBI groundout and Robinson Cano’s single. Cano has hit safely in the last 10 games. The Reds needed help to get the runs back, and they got it from Pena, who was called up last week for his second stint with the Yankees this season. Pena threw off target to first on Drew Stubbs’ grounder — the ball grazed the runner’s left cheek — for the first error. Stubbs made it to third on Edgar Renteria’s single, then took off for home on Ryan Hanigan’s grounder to third. Pena fielded it cleanly and had plenty of time to get Stubbs, but bounced his throw for another error. Pena was filling in for Alex Rodriguez, who has a sore shoulder and got the game off. New York finally did some slugging in the sixth. Cano singled and Posada hit the first pitch from Leake into the first row of seats in right field, near a fan wearing a Pete Rose 4,192 Tshirt. Notes: Yankees SS Derek Jeter (strained calf) threw for the second straight day at New York’s spring training complex in Tampa. ... New York INF Eric Chavez (broken left foot) could run the bases in the next couple days. He’s taking batting practice and fielding in Tampa. ... Posada’s longest homerless stretch was 140 atbats in 2002-03, according to research by the Eiias Sports Bureau for the Yankees. ... The Reds activated RH reliever Sam LeCure off 15-day DL and optioned LH starter Travis Wood to Triple-A Louisville. OVP Sports Briefs TOMBLIN HAS EARLY LEAD AT W.VA. OPEN MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Amateur golfer Tad Tomblin has the early first-round lead at the West Virginia Open in Morgantown. Tomblin shot a 3-under par 68 Wednesday at The Pines Country Club and is one stroke ahead of twotime defending champion David Bradshaw.

He was fifth in 2007 when the tournament was at Lakeview Resort in Morgantown. Bradshaw birdied four of the first 11 holes but had two front-nine bogeys. He shot 69. Two-time champion John Ross shot 1-over 72. Among other finishers, Wheeling’s Jason Martin shot 80, while 2005 champion Craig Berner shot 83. Half of the field had afternoon tee times.

SISTERS’ Church Softball League COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The head of Ohio State University has publicly atoned for a football season crack that inadvertently made a group of nuns the punch line. University President E. Gordon Gee helped the Ohio House pay tribute to the Toledo area’s Little Sisters of the Poor on Tuesday. Gee told The Associated Press in November that teams from the Big Ten and SEC deserved to play in BCS bowl games more than other schools. He said: “We do not play the Little Sisters of the Poor.” Sister Cecilia Sartorius tells WBNS-TV Gee didn’t know the religious order was real. Gee joked he had no idea that they didn’t have a football team. With Gee on hand, the House presented a proclamation honoring the Little Sisters for 125 years of serving the poor.
