Swiney II Bernice E. Wilson, 96 Convicted murderess Rizer’s latest appeal denied Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — The latest appeal by convicted murderess Paula Rizer has been denied in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. In a decision filed July 24, Judge Dale Crawford, sitting by assignment, denied the petition for post-conviction relief filed by Rizer. Rizer was convicted of murder in the shooting death of her husband, Kenneth Rizer, Sr. at the couple’s home on Lovett Road near Portland. Rizer was charged with aggravated murder in the death and was convicted of murder during her second jury trial in January 2010. Rizer was acquitted on the aggravated murder charge in late 2009, with the jury deadlocked on the murder charge (11-1 in favor of guilt). Oral arguments on the appeal were heard in April, with attorneys for both sides submitting briefs following the oral arguments. During the hearing, the defense called witnesses to speak on the lack of objection to statements made by Dr. Robert Stinson. Rizer was represented by Diane Menashe for the hearing, while special prosecutor (former Meigs County Assistant Prosecutor) Matthew Donohue and assistant prosecutor Amanda Bizub-Franzmann represented the state. Kort Gotterdam, an expert in the field of criminal defense, and Rizer’s former lead counsel Herman Carson, Jr. testified at the hearing. The decision filed last week states that the defendant filed the petition for post-conviction relief asserting the defendant’s counsel was ineffective in not objecting to the testimony of Dr. Robert Stinson who opined that, because of the many inconsistencies in the defendant’s statements, that she was not suffering from battered wife syndrome at the time she See CONVICTED |‌ 5 Pomeroy approves issues for general election Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com Charlene Hoeflich/photos Ellie Lee, a blues guitarist, singer and songwriter, who performs with Blues Fury, was a hit with the crowd.

The fans arrived early and stayed late so as not to miss any part of what has become one of southeastern Ohio’s biggest musical events. Not only was every parking place in town taken by blues fans, but the dock was filled with boats of people who occasionally could be seen taking a dip in the Ohio River to cool off. Big hats were popular with many who relaxed in lawn chairs, some raised large colorful umbrellas to Charlene Hoeflich/photos shield them from the sun, After completing the Blues School for Kids Saturday morning, POMEROY — Pomeroy Village Council approved issues to appear on the November ballot during last week’s regular council meeting. Among the items approved at the meeting for the November General Election was the proposed Palmer Energy OptOut electric program. The program, which was detailed during the first meeting of July, will be the topic of a special council meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 1, at Pomeroy Village Hall. The opt-out program is similar to the gas opt-out program voted into place a few years ago. Palmer Energy’s opt-out program was presented as a way to save residents money on their electric bills through deregulation. The vote by council to place the issue on the ballot was 3-1 in favor of the placement, with council member Ruth Spaun voting no. Two renewal levies were also voted on by council to be placed on the November ballot. The levies are a one mill fire levy and a current expenses levy. Both would be renewals to levies currently in place in the village. Businessman Don Vaughan of The Vaughan Agency spoke with council regarding signs he wished to place on the business property. Vaughan had previously been told his original sign placement would not meet village code. Vaughan asked for guidance on what signs would be permitted. Mayor Mary McAngus said she would have Code Enforcement Officer Clayton Taylor and Police Chief Mark Proffitt meet with Vaughan.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — New federal resources will help build and improve the water quality in Meigs County. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced Friday that the Village of Pomeroy will receive grants from both the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to replace the main water line that leads to the water treatment plant. “Water infrastructure is critical to economic competiveness,” Brown said. “While all Ohioans deserve access to clean water, too many communities are struggling to afford costly, but necessary, upgrades to water systems. These new resources will help the Village of Pomeroy make long-overdue updates and maintain modern, well-connected infrastructure.” The ARC has approved a $250,000 grant and the Ohio EPA will provide a $500,000 grant for the Village of Pomeroy. �www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 Meigs County Community Calendar Tuesday, July 31 JACKSON — PERI District 7 (Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Ross, Scioto, and Vinton counties) will have the annual district meeting at the Holzer Medical Center off Ohio 32 at Burlington Road in Jackson.

(AP) — Colorado prosecutors on Monday charged a former neuroscience graduate student with 24 counts of murder and 116 counts of attempted murder in the shooting rampage at the midnight showing of the new Batman movie. James Holmes appeared just as dazed as he did in his first court appearance last week, but at one point exchanged a few words with one of his attorneys in the packed courtroom. The breakdown of the charges was not immediately clear. The attack at “The Dark Knight Rises” left 12 people dead and 58 others injured. After his arrest, police said they found that his apartment was booby trapped. Among the charges Monday was one count of possession of explosives. Legal analysts expect the case to be dominated by arguments over the defendant’s sanity. Unlike Holmes’ first court appearance July 23, Monday’s hearing was not televised. At the request of the defense, District Chief Judge William Sylvester barred video and still cameras from the hearing, saying expanded coverage could interfere with Holmes’ right to a fair trial. Last week, Sylvester allowed a live video feed that permitted the world its first glimpse of the shooting suspect. With an unruly mop of orange hair, Holmes appeared bleary-eyed and distracted. He did not speak. Attorneys also were arguing over a defense motion to find out who leaked information to the news media about a package the 24-year-old Holmes allegedly sent to his psychiatrist at the University of Colorado Denver.

Several media outlets reported that it contained a notebook with descriptions of an attack, but Arapahoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers said in court papers that the parcel hadn’t been opened by the time the “inaccurate” news reports appeared. Security was tight for Monday’s hearing. Armed officers were stationed on the roof of both buildings at the court complex, and law enforcement vehicles blocked entrances to the buildings. Investigators said Holmes began stockpiling gear for his assault four months ago and bought his weapons in May and June, well before the shooting spree just after midnight during a showing of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises.” He was arrested by police outside the theater. Analysts said that means it’s likely there’s only one main point of legal dispute between prosecutors and the defense. “I don’t think it’s too hard to predict the path of this proceeding,” said Craig Silverman, a former chief deputy district attorney in Denver. “This is not a whodunit. … The only possible defense is insanity.” Under Colorado law, defendants are not legally liable for their acts if their minds are so “diseased” that they cannot distinguish between right and wrong. However, the law warns that “care should be taken not to confuse such mental disease or defect with moral obliquity, mental depravity, or passion growing out of anger, revenge, hatred, or other motives, and kindred evil conditions.” Experts said there are two levels of insanity defenses. Holmes’ public defenders could argue he is not mentally competent to stand trial, which is the argument by lawyers for Jared Loughner, who is accused of killing six people in 2011 in Tucson, Ariz., and wounding several others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Loughner, who has pleaded not guilty to 49 charges, has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is undergoing treatment at a Missouri prison facility in a bid to make him mentally fit to stand trial. If Holmes’ attorneys cannot convince the court that he is mentally incompetent, and he is convicted, they can try to stave off a possible death penalty by arguing he is mentally ill. Prosecutors will decide whether to seek the death penalty in the coming weeks. Holmes was not expected to enter pleas on Monday. He ultimately could verbally enter a plea to the anticipated dozen first-degree murder charges, or his attorneys could enter it for him. Prosecutors may file multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder and other charges against Holmes, who booby trapped his apartment with the intent to kill any officers responding there the night of the theater attack, Aurora police said. Sam Kamin, a law professor at the University of Denver, said there is “pronounced” evidence that the attack was premeditated, which would seem to make an insanity defense difficult. “But,” he said, “the things that we don’t know are what this case is going to hinge on, and that’s his mental state.” Friends in Southern California, where Holmes grew up, describe him as a smart, sometimes awkward youth fascinated by science. He came to Colorado’s competitive neuroscience doctoral program in June 2011. A year later, he dropped out shortly after taking his yearend exam. Sylvester has tried to tightly control the flow of information about Holmes, placing a gag order on lawyers and law enforcement, sealing the court file and barring the university from releasing public records relating to Holmes’ year there. A consortium of media organizations, including The Associated Press, is challenging Sylvester’s sealing of the court file. On Friday, court papers revealed that Holmes was seeing a psychiatrist at the university. But they did not say how long he was seeing Dr. Lynne Fenton and if it was for a mental illness or another problem. The University of Colorado’s website identified Fenton as the medical director of the school’s Student Mental Health Services. An online resume listed schizophrenia as one of her research interests and stated that she sees 10 to 15 graduate students a week for medication and psychotherapy, as well as five to 10 patients in her general practice as a psychiatrist. Authorities said Holmes legally purchased four guns before the attack at Denverarea sporting goods stores — a semiautomatic rifle, a shotgun and two pistols. To buy the guns, Holmes had to pass background checks that can take as little as 20 minutes in Colorado. One development over the weekend brought more grief. A woman who was critically wounded and whose 6-year-old daughter was killed suffered a miscarriage because of the trauma, her family said Saturday. Ashley Moser’s daughter, Veronica Moser-Sullivan, was the youngest person killed in the attack. panded delivery hours. Delivery will now be available during all hours of operation. The “sky is the limit” Stewart said of the potential for the new restaurant, noting that he would like to host live music and show football games on a projector screen outdoors this fall. Stewart has owned the Pomeroy location of Fox’s Pizza Den since purchasing it from his father, Bill, in 2008. Prior to that time Stewart managed the restaurant and had worked at the location in Rutland. Stewart emphasizes that there was no way the new restaurant would have become a reality without his dad. “He’s been here since day one. He is one of the first here and the last to leave.” Stewart said he has also had input and support from several other members of the family. The vast majority of the work — from the financing to the lumber and the plumbing to the electrical — has been done by local contractors with local suppliers. Stewart emphasized that with the small community the more money that could be spent locally, the better for the area. Sunset Home Construction completed the building, which was designed by Penny Mullens of RVC Architects. Other contractors working on the project included Hendrix Heating and Cooling, Thompson Plumbing, and Maxey Electric. Many of the supplies came from local suppliers such as Dettwiller Lumber, Valley Lumber and Baum Lumber. Items were only ordered from other suppliers out of the area when necessary, said Stewart. The restaurant will be open from 10 a.m.-10 p.m., Monday-Thursday; 10 a.m.11 p.m, Friday and Saturday; and noon-10 p.m., Sunday. River Do we have your attention now?

The 51-year-old then whips out a black marker scribbles “Zephyr” on a wall covered with movie posters. He admires his work for a few seconds before his tattooed arms reach for his daughter, holding her hand as he briskly walks away. Witten and a generation of urban latchkey kids who spray-painted their initials all over Manhattan in the 1970s and ’80s and landed in the city’s street art scene are coming of age — middle age, that is. And like Witten, a 51-year-old single father, some street artists considered now to be graffiti elders are having trouble putting away their spray paint cans. As Witten says, “I’m ready. I could go tonight.” “I’m chronologically old to be out there doing it,” Witten admits with a playful smile. “I’m sure I can’t run quite as fast.” Witten built a reputation as a master at spraypainting extravagant graffiti pieces on freight and subway trains, called trainbombing, in the neighborhoods where he now teaches his 6-year-old daughter, Lulu, to skateboard. For him, spray-painting other people’s property with his nickname, or tag, is almost an addiction, and danger is part of the drug. Crawling under barbed wire, ducking from police officers, even being shot at is all part of the experience. But with an artist’s heart, Witten describes painting graffiti in more poetic terms. He calls it a freeing experience, in which the silence of night gives way to the hiss and mist of the spray rising into the moonlight. Angel Ortiz recently served 41 days of a 50-day sentence in the Rikers Island jail system after being busted for spraying his tag, LA Roc, on a billboard in March of last year. For decades, Ortiz, 45, has been known on Manhattan’s Lower East Side as LA II. A traumatic loss of a girlfriend brought him out of a 14-year hiatus from graffiti writing. He has since been caught three times spraying his tag on property, each time while walking a friend’s dog. “Everywhere that dog stopped to pee I would write my name,” Ortiz says. “The streets were like my canvases. I just started writing my name everywhere.” When a pair of police officers smelled the fresh paint and nabbed Ortiz, they asked whether he saw himself as too old to be doing graffiti. But even now, Ortiz keeps a spray can or marker in his pocket to satisfy that incessant itch to tag mailboxes, signs and fire hydrants. Ortiz often recalls those golden days in the ’80s, when graffiti became the focal point of the counterculture art world and he partied with Madonna and Andy Warhol. He still lives in the neighborhood where a young art school dropout named Keith Haring showed up at his doorstep in cutoff jeans and glasses asking about his tagging style. Graffiti documentarian and photographer Henry Chalfant looks back at Ortiz’s heyday as a revolutionary time period in street art. “The culture is gone really,” Chalfant says. “The culture that was alive in the ’70s and ’80s doesn’t exist anymore.” Artists gleaned the raw style off street kids, while tunnel-hopping graffiti writers honed in on their artistic abilities to be com- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

It was a time when graffiti tagging exploded into battles over the artists who could produce the most visually edgy, elaborate murals in the most dangerous, inaccessible places without getting caught. Chalfant says change came when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority took over the New York regional train system and manufacturers started to build paint-resistant trains. Police also aggressively cracked down on graffiti in the ’80s and ’90s. “The whole scene has evolved to something beyond just writing your name,” Chalfant points out. “Artists are making comments about culture, about society. It’s a personal vision of an artist.” Ortiz now spends his days painting, peddling his art to galleries and buyers. He never quite rose to the level of fame as some of his graffiti counterparts, and the appetite for graffiti art has diminished in the U.S. art world. Long past Haring’s death, Ortiz claims he rarely gets credit for the collaborations he and Haring did together, although his LA Roc tags are displayed on numerous Haring pieces. Witten’s brush with fame now often comes with his freelance art writing and his sporadic visits to his daughter’s school, where he teaches her classmates how to draw. Lulu knows her father draws “crazy art,” a term she picked up from seeing graffiti on trains. From time to time, the thought of spending a few hours in a deserted freight yard still crosses Witten’s mind. Taking into consideration his daughter, he won’t admit if he still trainbombs. But he won’t say he doesn’t, either. “I’ll decide when I’m too old,” he says. “Fortunately, there’s no forced retirement in graffiti.” Paul Elias Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Two tech titans will square off in federal court Monday in a closely watched trial over control of the U.S. smartphone and computer tablet markets. Apple Inc. filed a lawsuit against Samsung Electronics Co. last year alleging the world’s largest technology company’s smartphones and computer tablets are illegal knockoffs of its popular iPhone and iPad products. The Cupertino-based company is demanding $2.5 billion in damages, an award that would dwarf the largest patentrelated verdict to date. Samsung counters that Apple is doing the stealing and that some of the technology at issue — such as the rounded rectangular designs of smartphones and tablets — has been industry standards for years. The U.S. trial is just the latest skirmish between the two over product designs. A similar trial began last week, and the two companies have been fighting in courts in the United Kingdom and Germany. The case is one of some 50 lawsuits among myriad telecommunications companies jockeying for position in the burgeoning $219 billion market for smartphones and computer tablets. In the United States, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose last month ordered Samsung to pull its Galaxy 10.1 computer tablet from the U.S. market pending the outcome of the trial, though the judge barred Apple attorneys from telling the jurors about the ban. “That’s a pretty strong statement from the judge and shows you what she thinks about some of Apple’s claims,” said Bryan Love, a Santa Clara University law professor and patent expert. Love said that even though the case will be decided by 10 jurors, the judge has the authority to overrule their decision if she thinks they got it wrong. “In some sense the big part of the case is not Apple’s demands for damages but whether Samsung gets to sell its products,” said Mark A. Lemley, a 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.

Stanford Law School professor and director of the Stanford Program in Law, Science, and Technology. Lemley also said a verdict in Apple’s favor could send a message to consumers that Android-based products such as Samsung’s are in legal jeopardy. A verdict in Samsung’s favor, especially if it prevails on its demands that Apple pay its asking price to certain transmission technology it controls, could lead to higher-priced Apple products. Lemley and other legal observers say it’s rare that a patent battle with so much at stake doesn’t settle short of a trial. Court-ordered mediation sessions attended by Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook and high-ranking Samsung officials failed to resolve the legal squabble, leading to a highly technical trial of mostly expert witnesses opining on patent laws and technology. Cook is not on the witness list and is not expected to testify during what is expected to be a four week-trial. Lemley, Love and others say it also appears that Apple was motivated to file the lawsuit, at least in part, by its late founder’s public avowals that companies using Android to create smartphones and other products were brazenly stealing from Apple. To that end, Samsung’s attorneys made an unsuccessful pitch to have the jury hear excerpts from Steve Jobs’ authorized biography. “I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong, I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product,” Jobs is quoted as saying in Walter Isaacson’s book “Steve Jobs” published in November. “I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.” But the judge barred those statements in a ruling earlier this month. “I really don’t think this is a trial about Steve Jobs,” Koh said. In court papers filed last week, each company laid out its legal strategy in so-called “trial briefs.” Apple lawyers argue there is almost no difference between Samsung’s products and Apple’s and that the South Korean company’s internal documents show it copied Apple’s iconic designs and its interface. “Samsung once sold a range of phones and a tablet of its own design,” Apple lawyers argue in their documents filed Wednesday. “Now Samsung’s mobile devices not only look like Apple’s iPhone and iPad, they use Apple’s patented software features to interact with the user.” Samsung denies the allegation and counter-charges that Apple copied its iconic iPhone from Sony. Samsung lawyers noted that the company has been developing mobile phones since 1991 and that Apple jumped into the market only in 2007. “In this lawsuit, Apple seeks to stifle legitimate competition and limit consumer choice to maintain its historically exorbitant profits,” Samsung lawyers wrote in their trial brief also filed Wednesday. “Android phones manufactured by Samsung and other companies — all of which Apple has also serially sued in numerous forums worldwide — offer consumers a more flexible, open operating system with greater product choices at a variety of price points as an alternative to Apple’s single, expensive and closed-system devices.” “Between 2005 and 2010 alone, Samsung invested $35 billion in research and development relating to telecommunications technology, with over 20,000 engineers worldwide dedicated to telecommunications research and development,” Samsung’s lawyers wrote. “One thing that is notable is that this trial is happening at all,” said Love, the Santa Clara law professor and patent expert. He said that in an industry such as this where so many companies hold so many vital patents needed by all players, lawsuits are viewed as toying with “mutually assured destruction” and that most disputes are solved through “horse trading” and agreements to share intellectual property and royalties.

An offense that had been so-so was going to have to get along without its best hitter for about a month. How have the Reds responded? With one of the best surges in franchise history. The Reds had won 10 in a row heading into the start of their series against the San Diego Padres on Monday night at Great American Ball Park, a number that sets them apart. It’s only the eighth time in club history that they’ve won 10 straight. At 61-40, they’re tied with Washington for best record in the majors. And it hasn’t been a matter of one or two players getting hot. “Every man on the roster has done an absolutely great job,” outfielder Jay Bruce said. “Everyone understands their role and has embraced it and is doing whatever they can, and it’s really showing.” The offense has come around without Votto, going 11-2 since an MRI found torn cartilage in his left knee that required sur- gery. He’s expected to miss about a month overall. While Votto worked on the leg, the Reds have closed in on the franchise record for wins — 12, shared by the 1939 and 1957 club. They’ve opened a three-game lead over Pittsburgh and a 7-game lead over defending World Series champion St. Louis in the NL Central. The division has turned into a surprising two-team race for now. “Three games is still a very small margin in the grand scheme of things,” outfielder Drew Stubbs said. “With the way we’ve been playing, we were hoping to have a little more cushion than that. But Pittsburgh is playing outstanding baseball. On the flip side, they’re probably thinking, ‘What do we have to do? We’re trying to make up ground and this team won’t lose.’” They hadn’t lost since July 18, the day after Votto’s surgery. They swept Milwaukee at Great American, knocking the defending division champs out of contention, then won three at Houston and three more at Colorado. No one expected that without Votto in the lineup. “You can dream it, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to happen,” manager Dusty Baker said. “I dream all the time. You hoped that we could just continue to play well. “Not taking anything away from the teams we were playing, but it helped that the teams we were playing were struggling. It helps a lot. You can’t time when these things happen.” The way they’ve done it has been impressive. The starting rotation has been solid and healthy all season. The Reds are the only team in the majors that has used only five starters to date. The bullpen has overcome the loss of closer Ryan Madson, with Aroldis Chapman becoming nearly unhittable in the ninth inning. The offense was the most glaring weakness before Votto got hurt, forcing Baker to juggle his lineup to compensate for the loss of the No. 3 hitter. Brandon Phillips moved into the spot in the order and has batted .383 with two homers. “Everybody has a differ See REDS ‌| 10 Colangelo still hopes Coach K will be back in 2016 LONDON (AP) — Jerry Colangelo hasn’t given up on Mike Krzyzewski returning as U.S. men’s Olympic basketball coach after the London Games. Krzyzewski has said he believes this will be his last time coaching the national team. Colangelo said Monday he thinks that is probably true. Still, the USA Basketball chairman added he’s “not 100 percent sure” Krzyzewski is done. “I know what he’s said so far and that may be the case and maybe not,” Colangelo said. “And I’m kind of thinking that he’s probably not going to come back unless he changes his mind. “If he’s finished coaching, I’m going to keep him involved and he’s going to be right alongside me. That’s the way I see it and then we’ll talk about who’s next.” But not before he takes another run at the coach. Colangelo said he will discuss the future with Krzyzewski at an appropriate time to see “what his circumstances truly are” before considering a successor. He secured Krzyzewski’s commitment to return over pizza and a bottle of wine after the 2008 Olympics, and Colangelo plans to give that tactic another shot. “We’ll have pizza and wine again,” Colangelo said. “We’ll see if it works a second time.” See COLANGELO |‌ 8 Stephen M.

Johnson dominant at Indy Wins 4th Brickyard 400 David Eulitt/Kansas City Star/MCT photo Coach Mike Krzyzewski of the United States men’s basketball team wears several of the players’ gold medals on Sunday, August 24, 2008, in the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing, China. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Startled awake by an earsplitting fireworks blast at 6 a.m., then annoyed by an early morning sound check session by the band that was playing the prerace show, Jimmie Johnson’s day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway didn’t exactly get off to a winning start. It ended just fine, though — with Johnson making plenty of noise of his own. Johnson stamped another exclamation point on his racing resume Sunday, a dominant drive that ended with his fourth career Brickyard 400 victory. Afterward, Johnson was able to laugh about how annoyed he was by the aerial bomb blast that signaled to fans that the track’s gates were open — so annoyed, in fact, that he complained about it with a post on his Twitter account. “I thought the motorhome next to me blew up,” Johnson said. “I was looking for a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. I guess getting up earlier than I wanted to let me prepare for the day and get ready.” Johnson said he got over it quickly, and that he respects that the big boom is part of the track’s tradition. And he’d better respect Indy tradition, because he’s now a big part of it. With the win, Johnson joined Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon as the only NASCAR drivers to win four times at the historic 2.5mile track, which has hosted stock car racing since 1994. The victory also puts Johnson among some top names in the track’s record books. Only three drivers have won four Indianapolis 500s: A.J. Foyt, Rick Mears and Al Unser Sr. Formula One ace Michael Schumacher won the U.S. Grand Prix five times on Indy’s road course configuration. “I’m able to join racing legends, my heroes and people I looked up to my entire life,” Johnson said. “To join them was a huge, huge honor.” Johnson took it all in after the race, taking a victory lap in a pace car with his wife, his daughter and his crew guys all piled on board. “You can actually soak in the moment, and look around and realize that you’re at the Brickyard — and won — was really special,” Johnson said. And while his daughter, Genevieve, enjoyed playing with a microphone during Johnson’s post race news conference, they couldn’t convince her to join in as they completed the tradition of kneeling to kiss the yard of bricks at the start/ finish line.

Organizers needed to “make sure more people get to see more games and also that there are fewer empty seats,” Cameron told broadcaster ITV in an interview. Speaking after a meeting of his government’s Olympics panel, Cameron expressed confidence that the London organizing committee was “on track” to meet his challenge. Military personnel, local students and teachers have all been offered Olympic tickets to get more fans immediately into the arenas. Around 3,000 extra tickets were made available late Sunday and quickly sold out for outfit their cars. The wind tunnel testing we’ve had with the manufacturers over the past several months has given us the timely and necessary data we needed to come to this confirmation. We believe the new car is going to be a milestone opportunity for our sport, one that our fans will embrace.” SRT engineer Howard Comstock, who manages Dodge’s NASCAR program, said developing the new cars involved unprecedented collaboration. “In the beginning, we kind of approached NASCAR and said, it will be better for the manufacturers if we race cars that look more like the products we build,” Comstock said. “NASCAR listened to that, and the four manufacturers kind of got together and said we need to make the basic framework of what this car would look like.” Ford Racing director Jamie Allison called it a “monumental moment” for NASCAR. “The fans have clamored for the return of cars that look like cars in their driveways and NASCAR, alongside us as manufacturers, have listened to that request,” Allison said. Comstock said the new cars share only 10 percent of their body panels in common, a significant change from current Cup cars. Dodge’s long-term future in NASCAR has been subject to speculation after its flagship team, Penske Racing, announced it was moving to Ford next season. But the manufacturer’s efforts for 2013 are regarded as positive sign for its continued involvement in the sport. Will having different designs revive the once-constant lobbying from manufacturers and teams for NASCAR rules tweaks to even out competition? “I think the tools that we have today for development are so much more sophisticated than we have in the past,” Comstock said. “Over this two-year process, we’ve tried to apply those tools to the design of the car to make sure we come out with a more equally matched car, brand for brand.” �Tuesday, July 31, 2012 Wanted “A Place to Call Home” FOSTER PARENTS NEEDED IN YOUR COUNTY!!! $25 - $45 a day for the care of a child in your home.

Rogers Basement Waterproofing �The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 Colangelo From Page 6 The 65-year-old Krzyzewski indicated in May that his lengthy international coaching career was nearing an end, saying: “I think this is the last time.” He has been on the staff of 12 U.S. teams since 1979, leading the Americans to the gold medal at the Beijing Games. Colangelo, who formed the national team program in 2005 and hired Krzyzewski as his coach, has already said he intends to return. No matter what Krzyzewski’s previously said, Colangelo may need to hear the answer himself from the four-time national champion at Duke. “We’ll worry about that if we win,” Krzyzewski said. “If we don’t win, he won’t have to worry about that.” Either way, Krzyzewski is open to another meal. “I’ll still grab a pizza from him. Any time I can get free food and wine from him, I’ll milk that offer,” Krzyzewski joked. “But let’s win first and then be put in the position where I can get free pizza and wine.” Olympics From Page 6 Monday’s events, organizing committee spokeswoman Jackie Brock-Doyle said. Around 600 gymnastics tickets were freed up, plus 400 for morning sessions in beach volleyball and 200 more in the evening. Additional space was made for fans to see water polo, handball and equestrian events, she said. Organizers say seats were left empty mostly by accredited sports and national Olympic officials, athletes, some media, plus “a handful of sponsors.” Sports governing bodies have been the main source for returning privilegedaccess tickets. Each evening, sports and national Olympics officials will now be asked to give back some tickets for fans to make late buys. “We are doing it session by session,” Brock-Doyle said. “We really are doing the best that we can.” Ticket holders leaving an event are also being asked to “recycle” their ticket by allowing its resale for just a few pounds (dollars) to a potential spectator already cleared by security inside the Olympic Park. Cameron accepted the efforts being made and said a perfect solution is unlikely. “You can never solve the problem completely because there have to be some seats left for the accredited Games family,” he said. www.mydailysentinel.com Tuesday, July 31, 2012 US, Russian women set for showdown LONDON (AP) — The Americans need Jordyn Wieber to regain her swagger in a hurry if they’re going to hold off Russia for Olympic gold. The two gymnastic powers have been trading places in team competition for two years and will face off again on the biggest stage for an Olympic title Tuesday night. The Russians won the world championship in 2010, then finished second to the U.S. last year. Defending world champ Wieber failed to qualify for the all-around competition at the London Olympics, but the U.S. women will be depending on her for a comeback if they’re going to win their first team gold medal since the “Magnificent Seven” of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. “We’re going to have to cheer her up and hype her up,” teammate Gabby Douglas said. After failing to qualify for the all-around, the 17-yearold Wieber sobbed and was consoled by teammates. She didn’t speak to reporters afterward. Later, she posted on Twitter: “I am so proud of our team today and I can’t wait for team finals!!” O2 Arena has rocked so far, and with host nation Britain in the mix after missing the team final at the 2008 Beijing Games, the scene should be even more festive — especially after the British captured their first Olympic team gymnastics medal in more than 80 years with a bronze in Monday’s men’s competition. Now, it’s Wieber and Douglas’ turn to chase that elusive American team Wally Skalij/Los Angeles Times/MCT photo USA’s Jordyn Wieber competes on the uneven bars in the women’s individual qualification during the Summer Olympic Games in London, England, Sunday, July 29, 2012. gold and try to accomplish something the Nastia Liukin-Shawn Johnson show of 2008 couldn’t in Beijing, where China captured gold on its home turf. Former world champion Aliya Mustafina and the focused Russians were the only squad to come close to challenging the U.S. team after Sunday’s qualifying. And they’re so determined to beat the Americans, Russia’s athletes blew through the mixed zone without even speaking to their own reporters. The word is they won’t be heard from until the job is done. In other action Tuesday, Michael Phelps is back for a busy night in the pool as he seeks a third straight gold in the 200-meter butterfly. Then Phelps, Ryan Lochte & Co. will try to bounce back in the 4x200meter freestyle relay after settling for a surprising silver behind the winning Frenchmen in the 4x100meter freestyle relay Sunday. In gymnastics, the U.S. women’s team will look to reach the top spot on the podium a day after the American men’s team finished a disappointed fifth. The Romanians also are expected to challenge for a medal. “I think we’ve definitely set the bar higher,” Douglas said. “It’s just an amazing feeling to know that Team USA is definitely strong. Even myself, we’ve come a long way.” While the U.S. dominated team qualifying Sunday with a score of 181.863, the Russians are determined to keep closing the gap with the world watching. Mustafina didn’t compete in the 2011 worlds because she injured her left knee at the European Championships that April — and now she’s back but still trying to regain top form. Her vault, for example, is a less difficult one than what she performed when she got hurt. The U.S. gymnasts consider the gold theirs for the taking after all the strides their program has made in recent years. “I guarantee one thing: The truth is going to come out on the Olympic Games,” said the renowned coach Bela Karolyi. “The truth is that we are solidly in the first place on the team, no question about that.” The Americans aren’t ready to celebrate anything yet. Everything changed in a matter of minutes Monday night, when Japan jumped from fourth to a silver medal after a protest and bumped the Ukraine right off the podium. “The Olympics are always a dog fight,” USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny said. “There is something that always pops up and changes the perceived outcome. Something happens and it changes it.” China wins second straight Olympic gold in gymnastics LONDON (AP) — Their closest rivals were still on the floor competing when the Chinese whipped out five big gold stars and held them up in the shape of their flag. Why wait? The Chinese won their second straight Olympic title in men’s gymnastics and third and in four games in a rout Monday, making fools of everyone who wrote them off after a dismal performance in qualifying. “We don’t have any faults. That’s our secret to beat the Japanese and to beat everyone,” Zhang Chenglong said. “In preliminaries, we had a little bit of faults. But tonight was completely perfect.” Well, almost. It took five minutes and a video review to sort out the silver and bronze medalists after Japan questioned the score of three-time world champion Kohei Uchimura on pommel horse, the last routine. Japan jumped from fourth to second after judges revised Uchimura’s score, bumping Britain down to bronze and Ukraine off the medals podium. It was the British men’s first team medal in a century, and it set off raucous celebrations at the O2 Arena. Even Princes William and Harry joined in. “To win a medal in your home games, I’ll take that any day,” Kristian Thomas said. “We never actually had the silver in our hands, so there’s no real disappointment.” Tell that to the Japanese, who were bested by the Chinese yet again. Japan was the runner-up to China in Beijing, as well as at the last four world championships. And unlike last year’s world championships, where the Japanese had appeared to close the gap on China, this one wasn’t even close. China finished with 275.997 points, more than four points better than Japan. China now has gone eight years without losing at a major competition. “At the very beginning it was fourth for Japan so I couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t think anything,” a somber Uchimura said. “I was thinking, ‘It’s fourth, it’s fourth.’ Even after it was changed, I was not too happy.” The Americans weren’t all that happy, either. Bronze medalists four years ago, they could practically feel their first gold since 1984 after finishing No. 1 in qualifying, with captain Jon Horton jokingly asking if they could claim their prizes. But everyone gets a do-over in team finals, and whatever momentum the Americans had evaporated when Miscellaneous Danell Leyva and John Orozco fell on pommel horse, their second event. They wound up fifth, six points behind China and almost two behind Britain. “There’s definitely disappointment,” Horton said. “We are one of the best teams in the world.” But China is in a class by itself. The Chinese have been like playground bullies most of the last decade, sauntering into every competition and scooping up as many gold medals as possible: Team golds at the last five world championships and Olympic titles in Sydney and Beijing, where they won all but one of the men’s medals. They probably would have claimed that, too, had they bothered to contend for vault. But with most of the Beijing squad moving on and a rule change putting a premium on all-arounders, China has looked — dare we say it? — vulnerable of late. Chen Yibing, a double gold medalist in Beijing, even tried to dampen the expectations this spring, saying it would be “extremely hard” for the Chinese to defend their team title. It didn’t get any easier when Teng Haibin, the 2004 gold medalist on pommel horse, dropped out with an injury Thursday and had to be replaced by Guo Weiyang. �Tuesday, July 31, 2012 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt www.mydailysentinel.com BLONDIE Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Tuesday, July 31, 2012 BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page 9 William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s Horoscope zITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, July 31, 2012: This year you often make extraordinary efforts to reach out to others who are withdrawn.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Success comes through dealing with others on a one-on-one level. You can turn a problem around if you stay open. You have a great deal of passion about a creative endeavor, yet you hesitate to take a risk. Tonight: Go off and do something you love. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to others, yet be responsive to a superior who seems to have a very different but positive way of handling important matters. Family and your personal life are always high priorities, but today they are even more so. Tonight: Close to home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Push yourself, and focus on what must be done. In fact, getting more done than anticipated will free you up when people in your life need to air out their opinions and/or need your time. You might be amazed by how quickly that could happen. Tonight: Head home. Do only what you love. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You have a lot to reflect on, especially a situation involving a partner or loved one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might want to stop and think about what is going on. Your home life takes priority at the moment, which makes it difficult to focus on anything else. Deal with the situation before it deals with you. Tonight: Why resist coming to an agreement? Is it worth the stress? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to open up a conversation and get to the root of the problem. Could you be swallowing anger or doing something else that does not serve you well? You have an opportunity to look this demon in the eye. Tonight: A conversation gives you insight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH A meeting could shed some light on an issue. You go out of your way more often than not to help friends. Suddenly, you could find that the cost is too high. You might need a little more space, time and perspective. Tonight: Treat yourself to a favorite dessert on the way home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You can handle a difficult situation with someone you cannot avoid. Your instincts might be to ignore this person. Unfortunately, you’ll need to take this situation on to resolve the problem. Tonight: Let the good times roll. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You need to see what is not being said. Someone seems to be direct, but this person is skipping over an important point. A discussion could be difficult as a result. Say little, judge less and stay open. Tonight: Do something just for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Zero in on what is important, not only to you, but to those in your immediate personal and/or professional circle. A partner or loved one takes a stand. He or she simply is not on the same page as you. Make it OK to have different ideas. Tonight: Where the fun is.

I’ve showed everybody I can play this game and hit third.” He’s not alone. Stubbs has batted .333 with three homers and 13 RBIs, earning co-NL Player of the Week honors on Monday with Milwaukee’s Carlos Gomez. Ryan Ludwick has batted .342 with four homers and 10 RBIs. Scott Rolen has batted .306 with two homers. The Reds have won 17 of 19 overall, their best streak since the days of the Big Red Machine. “The big thing is getting a lot of lucky breaks,” Stubbs said. “You look at teams that win championships, they have a combination of good, solid baseball and getting some lucky breaks. I think in the last two weeks, we’ve had a combination of those.” The streak will soon have its own style. Reds radio broadcaster Marty Brennaman promised a few days ago to shave his head if the winning streak reached 10 games. He’s planning to do it during the week. “I can’t wait to see it,” Phillips said. “I might kiss it.” YOU’RE BUSY. WE’RE READY.

Johnson also won the Brickyard in 2006, 2008 and 2009. “They’re that good, and they deserve it,” Gordon said. Kyle Busch finished second, followed by Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Gordon. Pole sitter Denny Hamlin was sixth. Nobody had a car capable of challenging Johnson, who led 99 of 160 laps. “It didn’t really matter if you were in front of him or not, he was going to pass you in about four or five laps anyway,” Biffle said. “His car was just really, really good.” Team owner Rick Hendrick said the win was a testament to the combined talents of Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus. “I think the equipment is so equal today, but you’ve got to look at the talent Jimmie has and the talent Chad has and the pit crew and everything else, the feedback, the communications,” Hendrick said. “I’ve never seen a guy that could drive a car as out of control and make it look in control as Jimmie can.” And as the No. 48 team celebrated a victory, another Hendrick driver solidified his surprising status as a Sprint Cup championship front-runner. With his fourth-place run Sunday, Earnhardt Jr. took over the points lead — 14 points ahead of Matt Kenseth, whose day ended early in a crash with Joey Logano. “We’ve persevered all year, and we’ve done good work all year,” Earnhardt said. “I think it is a bit of a confidence booster, something I’m proud of because we’ve worked hard all year and we’ve got something to show for it.” Earnhardt took the points lead at the expense of Kenseth, whose car was bangedup and smoldering after he tangled with Logano. “It is crazy there at the end,” Kenseth said. “You could see the wreck happening and I was just hoping I wasn’t going to be in it.” It also was a rough day for Carl Edwards, whose engine began losing power only a handful of laps into the race. In his first race with new crew chief Chad Norris, Edwards qualified second but began dropping in the field after an apparent engine malfunction. Edwards finished 29th, left Indianapolis 12th in the points and is in danger of missing NASCAR’s season-ending Chase. “We have to take chances,” Edwards said. “We have to go race. We can do that, we can race like that. It will actually be a big relief in a way because there is no other choice. We just go race for wins. I wouldn’t bet against us. We can do it.” 60332208 Ranges Starting @ $369.00 Washer/Dryer Sets Starting @ $799.00 Why Shop Out O of Town?? Compare Prices With h Us First!
