A strong summer stormroared through ShelbyCounty late Friday afternoonwith wind gusts up to 80miles per hour, downing treesand power lines and knockingout power to some 2,100 Day-ton Power & Light Co. cus-tomers within the county. Atmidnight many customers inthe Sidney area were stillwithout electricity.The storm, fueled by tem-

peratures in the high 90s, in-cluded hail in some areas andsaw the mercury drop 30 de-grees within half an hour.Large parts of Sidney were

without power and trafficlights throughout town werenot working. This resulted inhuge traffic tie-ups at inter-sections as motorists movedcautiously forward.The 911 emergency num-

ber at the Shelby CountySheriff ’s Office went downdue to the power outage andPatrick Goldschmidt of the

Sheriff ’s Office was posted tothe Sidney Police Station totake calls received by their911 system and relay them tothe Sheriff ’s Office. By earlyevening the system was stilldown and efforts were underway to restore service.Goldschmidt expressed

concern that they couldn’t getthe word out to the public thatthe 911 number was down be-cause local radio stationWMVR was also withoutpower and couldn’t broadcast.At least two homes in the

area were struck by lightning,one at 1338 Riverbend Blvd.,Sidney, and one on LaneStreet in Fort Loramie. Lt.Rod Dyer of the Sidney De-partment of Fire and Emer-gency Services said thedepartment responded to theRiver Bend Boulevard loca-tion which apparently did notsustain serious damage.Sidney Fire responded to

numerous other fire calls asfire alarms were activated bythe power outage, Dyer said.

Ohio EPA Temporar-ily Suspends OpenBurning PermissionDue to weather fore-

casts predicting hot anddry conditions for thestate, and a NationalWeather Service state-ment regarding in-creased fire hazards forthe next few days, OhioEPA will temporarilysuspend issuing openburning permission.The need for tempo-

rary suspension is partlydue to brush fires seensince Monday in severalareas of the state.Under Ohio rules,

open burning is not per-mitted in restrictedareas, which include:• the boundaries of

any municipal corpora-tion;• corporation limits

and a 1,000-foot zoneoutside any municipalcorporation having apopulation of 1,000 to10,000; and• corporation limits

and a one-mile zone out-side any municipal cor-poration with apopulation of more than10,000.In areas outside those

zones, there are fewerrestrictions and openburning is allowed if itcomplies with state rulesand local ordinances.Again, Ohio EPA dis-courages open burningin these areas at alltimes, and certainlyuntil dry conditions areless severe.Under certain circum-

stances, burning a pro-hibited material orsetting a fire in a re-stricted area is legalwith prior written per-mission from Ohio EPA,through one of its dis-trict offices or a local airagency. Until weatherconditions improve, OhioEPA has advised its of-

fices not to process or ap-prove burn requests.Emergency requests willbe evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Some ex-amples of burning thatrequire prior approvalare:• firefighter training;• explosive material

disposal;• horticultural, silvi-

cultural, range orwildlife managementpractices; and• burning land-clear-

ing waste.For more information

ance their budget wouldnot leave enough fundsfor the July Fourth fire-works, I thought notonly of all the disap-pointed children, but ofhow difficult financiallythings had been for theentire community —and how fireworks onthe Fourth of July are animportant part of Amer-ica’s tradition. I immedi-ately went to thehospital’s board oftrustees to see if wecould partner with thecity of Sidney and savethe fireworks. The boardagreed to help sponsorthe fireworks this year.”The traditional fire-

works display will beheld Wednesday on theSidney Middle Schoolgrounds, 980 Fair Road.As has been past prac-tice, the city of Sidneywill provide in-kind serv-ices for this event by wayof site inspection, fireprotection during the ex-hibit, traffic control andhelp provide for thesafety and welfare of theresidents before, duringand after the event. Thefireworks exhibit isscheduled to begin at 10p.m.In announcing the

sponsorship, Boeckercommented, “Wilson Me-morial Hospital receivesa large volume of spon-sorship requeststhroughout the year.As anonprofit organization,we must be a good stew-ard of resources. There-fore, careful

consideration is given tothe awarding of funds tooutside nonprofit organi-zations.”He noted the hospital

has three categories ofsponsorship — health fo-cused, education-basedand civic-minded.“As one of the area’s

largest employers, webelieve in supportingorganizations andevents for the good ofthe community and thisis one of them. It is im-portant for our commu-nity to come together tocarry on certain tradi-tions and to celebrateour nation’s freedom,”he said. “ Many familiesin our community havemade sacrifices by wayof the loved ones havingfought for our countryor are currently servingin the military. Inde-pendence Day is an-other way for all of us toexpress our gratitudeand appreciation forwhat they do to protectour freedoms.”Barhorst thanked the

hospital board for itssupport.“Our community has

been blessed with civic-minded partners whohave stepped forwardduring the current eco-nomic downturn to helpcontinue some of our im-portant services and tra-ditions,” Barhorst stated.“Examples that come tomind include SafetyTown, new play equip-ment for Custenborderand Tawawa parks, and

certainly our annual fire-works. I am deeply grate-ful to the hospital’s boardof trustees for their com-munity spirit, and hopethat those who enjoy thefireworks will take thetime to thank the Hospi-tal for their care for thecommunity.”The members of the

Relay for Life Team atthe Campbell RoadChurch of God will behosting an ice-cream so-cial at the fairgroundsimmediately precedingthe fireworks. Activitiesinclude hamburgers, hotdogs, desserts and icecream, a cruise-in, corn-hole tournament and theannouncement of the Lit-tle Miss and Mister Fire-cracker. Interestedpeople may contact DebKaufman at 497-1353 formore details.Barhorst reminded

residents and visitorsthat only state-licensedexhibitors can displayand discharge fire-works. The only types offireworks that can belegally discharged bythe public are trick andnovelty devices; whichinclude items thatsmoke, sparkle, snapand snake. These de-vices should only beused by adults, or chil-dren who are underadult supervision, hesaid. These devices doget hot enough to igniteclothing and cause burninjuries, so use themwith caution to enjoy asafe holiday.

Arrangements arepending at Cromes Fu-neral Home, Sidney.

QUINCY — At its re-cent meeting, Quincy Vil-lage Council dealt with anumber of property is-sues and health concerns.

A property on WalnutStreet was reportedly va-cated and being used fora trash dump site. Adja-cent property owners hadcomplained about strongodors from the propertyon hot or windy days.Council members learnedthat the matter wasbeing investigated by theLogan CountyHealth De-partment.

Council emphasizedthat the village has a 24-hour time frame betweenplacement of trash andits pickup. Property own-ers must place trash inproper trash containersor bags for pickup. If abag is torn and trashscattered, property own-ers are responsible torebag the trash and placeit at the curb for pickup.

Council revoked abuilding permit for 103Mill St. because of lack ofcompletion of the project.An extension had beengranted to extend thecompletion date to May31. A letter is being sentto notify the propertyowner that the buildingpermit is no longer valid.

Matt Stottler of theQuincy Sports Associa-tion reported to the coun-cil that six games remainfor this season and thatsoccer signup begins inJuly. He also noted thatsomeone has been dump-ing personal trash in theball park trash barrels.Council members statedthat this was illegal anddecided to have the mat-ter investigated and pos-sibly prosecute offenders.

Village residentRichard Heniser ad-dressed an issue of highweeds on a property adja-cent to his. He also statedconcerns about a valve atthe water tower not prop-erly working and thequality of his water serv-ice.

Village AdministratorKirk Helmandollar saidthis valve was the firstone flushed when the vil-lage fire hydrants areflushed.

Also discussed was aconcern about trees onNew Street. One tree isconsidered a hazard. Thebase of the tree has splitand there is a danger of it

falling. A second tree onthe street is now alsoknown to be in the samecondition. Council mem-bers learned that thecosts for removal of thetrees will be more thanexpected.

The alley betweenYostand Miami streets wasalso discussed. It has re-portedly become over-grown with trees andweeds. Village workersare to clean up the alleyas soon as possible.

Mayor Daniel Robin-son told council membersthat the dog warden hasrecently been in the vil-lage to investigate re-ports of animals runningfreely. He noted that petowners who do not havedog licensesmay be cited.He also stated that free-roaming animals may becaptured and removed. Ifpet owners want to re-claim them, they willneed to pay appropriatefines. In addition, theywill have to pay for li-censes when they reclaimtheir pets.

John Hickman up-dated the council on mat-ters with the Joint SewerBoard.The board is in theprocess of seeking ap-proval to receive an ex-ception to the 24-hourplant operator require-ment with the Ohio Envi-ronmental ProtectionAgency. One of the re-quirements to have an ex-ception is to have a Class1 operator who can re-spond to an emergencysituation in 30 minutes.Board members are con-sidered personnel for this.

Council approved thesecond presentation for 3percent cost-of-livingsalary increases for FiscalOfficer Sandra Ward andVillage AdministratorKirk Helmandollar.

The administrator no-tified council that JasonHerring had been hiredto fill vacancy for a part-time village worker at $8per hour.

In other news, councilmember Sue Arnett toldthe members there were18 garage sales on June 2during community garagesales . That is slightlydown from a year ago.However, therewere eightnonparticipating garagesales reported. Moneyfrom the sale of the signshelps defray the costs ofadvertising the sales.

From page 1There were no reports

of flooding, despite heavyrain.

Although Wilson Me-morial Hospital also lostpower, an auxiliary sys-tem automatically tookover and kept the elec-tricity on.

Fort Loramie FireChief Brad Schulze saidthe lightning strike inthat village caused asmall fire in the kitchenand that neighbors hadput the blaze out withextinguishers by thetime the fire departmentarrived.

In Sidney andthroughout the county,numerous trees and limbsand power poles weredowned, causing outagesand damaging property.Several trees fell onhouses in Sidney and onefell on a semi-rig truck onNorth Wapakoneta Av-enue. A number of roofswere also damaged by thehigh winds.

There was reportedlysevere damage to barnsand other structures inthe Russia area.

A semi-rig was report-edly blown over on Inter-state 75, north of Botkins.A report on the incidentwas not available becausethe Wapakoneta Post ofthe Ohio State HighwayPatrol had lost power andaccess to its computersystem.

Tom Tatham, DP&Ldirector of operations,said at 8:30 Fridaynight that the utilitywas assessing damagewithin its 6,000-square-mile servicearea and was establish-ing priorities for restor-ing power.

“When we have a situ-ation so severe we restorepower to critical infra-structures first, such aspolice and hospitals,” hesaid. He noted DP&Ltries to work with localgovernments in suchcases.He said they wouldtry to restore power toemergency shelters andcooling centers during pe-riods of extreme heat,such as is predicted forthis weekend.

The Sidney DailyNews was among busi-nesses losing power andwas unable to put itsnewspaper together at itsoffices on North Vande-mark Road.

Chronic speedershoots marbles

at van

ELLICOTT CITY, Md.(AP) — Police in Marylandsay aman has been chargedwith assault for using aslingshot to fire glass mar-bles at a speed camera van.Authorities say Bruce

Lawrence May of EllicottCity was arrested Tuesday.The 50-year-old Lawrencewas also charged with de-struction of property andreckless endangerment. Hewas released on $3,000bond.Howard County police

say that at about 5 p.m.Tuesday, the van was nearManor Woods ElementarySchool when the operatorheard something hit theside of the vehicle. The op-erator saw a minivan passand saw the driver with aslingshot fire another pro-jectile at the speed cameravan.Police say that May had

received two speed cameraviolations recently.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.(AP) — Flames eat throughthe second story of a home inColorado as a car sits in thedriveway. In the background,an entire neighborhood glowsorange as it goes up in flames.A wall of fire consumes the

front of a home as a lone fire-fighter futilely blasts it withwater.A heavy air tanker working

to slow the flames is dwarfedas a massive plume of smokelooms in the background.The dramatic images pro-

vide just a glimpse of thisyear's fire season — one thathas broken records in NewMexico, forced thousands ofpeople to flee their homes inColorado and left an ashy,black scar across more than1.8 million acres of the na-tion's forests."It's been characterized

that fire is war, and I supposein a sense it can be character-ized like that," said Tom Har-bour, director of fire andaviation management for theU.S. Forest Service.Holed up in makeshift war

rooms packed into school gym-nasiums or nondescript ware-houses on the fringes ofwildfires burning around theWest, incident commandersspend nearly every wakinghour huddled around bigmaps, looking at computerscreens or glued to the radio,trying to plot their next move.Their decisions come after

pouring over intelligencethat's flooding in from crewleaders on the fire lines,weather forecasters, fuels an-alysts and experts who knowthe terrain.Elsewhere, teams of spe-

cialists surrounded by com-puters, monitors tuned intothe news and maps smoothout the logistics of shufflingfirefighters and equipmentaround the country. They tapinto databases that list thenation's resources and everyfirefighter who's qualified tofight wildfires.There are thousands of fire-

fighters on the front lines,from Colorado, New Mexicoand Arizona to Utah andMontana. Hundreds of en-gines, air tankers and helicop-ters have been mobilized."We've got competition for

firefighting assets, but we'restill at a point where we've gotlots of available assets to mixand match on individual inci-dents," Harbour told The As-sociated Press in a phoneinterview.The National Interagency

Fire Center on Wednesdayratcheted up the nation'swildfire preparedness levelone notch to the second high-est level. There are five levels

in all, and ever since it hit No.3, staffers say it's been "a bee-hive of activity."This makes for only the

third time in the last 20 yearsthe nation has reached thislevel by late June, with theothers coming in 2008 and2002, another highly destruc-tive year for wildfires in Col-orado and the Southwest."This is one of the busier

June's we've had in quite awhile," said Kari Boyd-Peak, aNIFC spokeswoman in Boise,Idaho. She said that while allresources requested are cur-rently being provided totackle existing fires, shortagescan't be ruled out if theweather doesn't cooperate."If conditions stay this way,

and we get more fires, andthese get worse, we could getto that point soon," she said.Nationally, 60 percent of

teams that handle dangerous,complex fires have been dis-patched.Of roughly 15,000 firefight-

ing personnel nationwide —including everyone from thepeople on crews digging theactual fire lines to public in-formation officers — morethan 10,400 have been de-ployed.Colorado's High Park Fire

in Larimer County, whereflames have destroyed morethan 300 structures, is requir-ing the most manpower, withmore than 1,100 personneland 79 fire engines, alongwith aircraft. The WaldoCanyon Fire near ColoradoSprings has more than 1,100firefighters attempting to stopthe flames from burning morehomes, with almost 350

homes estimated lost by lateThursday.The Forest Service on Fri-

day was also training a FortCarson Army battalion toserve as firefighters to boostthe number of crews availablenationwide.In New Mexico, more than

200 firefighters continueworking on record-settingblazes that have been burningfor weeks — one that has de-stroyed more than 240 homesand another that has black-ened 465 square miles.Despite some criticism,

Harbour said the U.S. ForestService has been working toposition resources wherethey're needed most.There's a difference be-

tween what incident com-manders want and what theyneed to fight a fire effectively,he said. For example, a com-mander's order for 10 hot shotcrews — among the most elitefirefighters — might be filledinstead with a mix of hotshots and initial attack crews,which can be just as formida-ble but with less experience.Nineteen large air tankers,

170 helicopters and a numberof single-engine air tankersare assigned to wildfiresacross the region. A large DC-10 air tanker capable of carry-ing 11,700 gallons of fireretardant is also on call, andfour military C-130 tankersare positioned to cover theblazes burning near ColoradoSprings and Fort Collins aswell as the entire Front Rangeif more fires break out.To date, the C-130 tankers

have dropped 138,400 gallonsof retardant in the region.

Their primary focus has beenthe Waldo Canyon Fire.On Friday, the U.S. Forest

Service activated the four re-maining C-130 tankers tohelp in Colorado and else-where.Overall, there have been

fewer fires and less acreageburned for the first sixmonths of the year than therewas for the same period lastyear. Some states are seeingfires earlier this year, butHarbour said there are stillresources in reserve."With over 10,000 firefight-

ers in the Forest Service andthe ability to get over 700 air-craft of all types, we're feelingcautiously confident when youlook at the season as a whole,"he said.Once an incident com-

mander, Harbour said he un-derstands the urgency felt bythe firefighters on the groundand the heartache of residentswho are watching their homesburn.Homes can be rebuilt and

more firefighters and pilotscan be trained for future sea-sons, but Harbour said landmanagers and communitiesthat border dry forests andwoodlands need to get to theroot of what's resulting infires that are making 10-mileruns in one day or doubling insize overnight."We've got to ask ourselves

why these kinds of fires arehappening and why so manyhomes are burning," he said."And we've got to remind our-selves that response — a good,strong, effective and aggres-sive response — is just onepart of the triangle."

CAIRO (AP) — In front oftens of thousands of cheeringsupporters, Egypt’s first Is-lamist and civilian president-elect vowed Friday to fight forhis authority and symbolicallyread an oath of office onCairo’s Tahrir Square on theeve of his official inaugura-tion.Mohammed Morsi’s

strongly worded speech was ashow of defiance as he gearsup to power struggle with thecountry’s ruling generals whopassed a constitutional decla-ration taking over major pres-idential powers in the daysbefore election results wereannounced after a bitter cam-paign.“Everybody is hearing me

now.The government, the mil-itary and the police ... Nopower above this power,” hesaid as the crowd roared. “Ireaffirm to you I will not giveup any of the president’s au-thorities. I can’t afford to dothis. I don’t have that right tothat.”“You are the source of legit-

imacy and whoever is pro-tected by anyone else willlose,” he told his supporters.

He also addressed populardemands, vowing to work forthe release of Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind sheikjailed in the U.S. for a plot toblow up NewYork landmarks,as well as detained Egyptianprotesters facing military tri-bunals.“I will do my best to free all

detainees, including Dr. OmarAbdel-Rahman,” he said,pointing to a group of protest-ers holding a poster of thespiritual leader of men con-victed in the 1993 WorldTrade Center bombing. Sup-porters have called for thesheik to be repatriated toEgypt on humanitariangrounds.Morsi, a 60-year-old U.S.-

trained engineer, narrowly de-feated Ahmed Shafiq, HosniMubarak’s last prime minis-ter and a former air force gen-eral, in a runoff race thatdeeply polarized the nation.Initially put forward as aback-up candidate for theMuslim Brotherhood, he ad-dressed the crowd with abooming voice, flanked by sev-eral security guards.His victory has given Is-

lamists a new boost after theyovercame decades of suppres-sion and arrests underMubarak’s secular regime tobecome Egypt’s most influen-tial post-revolutionary politi-cal force. However, themilitary has fought to checkthe Brotherhood’s rise andmaintain its hold on the reinsof power.At one point he opened his

jacket to show the crowd hewasn’t wearing a bulletproofvest, saying he “fears no onebut God.”The speech ironically

brought Republican Guardforces back to the square — arare occurrence as govern-ment security forces haveavoided the area to avoid pro-voking protesters angry overcontinued military influence.Many protesters had called

for Morsi to hold his swear-ing-in ceremony in thesquare, the epicenter of massprotests that oustedMubarak, but the militarygenerals said it must be heldin front of a high court, in theabsence of a parliament. Theceremony was scheduled to beheld Saturday.

However, he read an infor-mal oath during his speech tothe delight of the crowd.Manychanted “We love you Morsi”and “Oh marshal tell thetruth,Morsi is your president,or not,” referring to the headof the ruling military panelField Marshal HusseinTantawi.The ruling generals have

promised to transfer power toan elected president by Sun-day. But they also have giventhemselves sweeping powersthat undercut the authority ofthe president. The constitu-tional declaration — issueddays before the winner of arunoff vote was announced —also designated the generalsthe country’s legislature inplace of the disbanded parlia-ment.The disbanding of parlia-

ment forced Morsi to take hisoath in front of the Constitu-tional Court, which ruledagainst the parliament andwhose judges were appointedby Mubarak.He also reached out to the

liberal and secular activistswho spearheaded last year’suprising.

Dear Readers:Here are a few“favorite hints”learned fromolder familymembers. Readon,and youmightlearn somethingnew:

Hi, Heloise:My grandfather-in-law lived to be105 years of age.When he was 90,I asked him whathe attributed hislongevity to. The answerwas: “Never overindulgein any way. Don’t overeat,don’t oversleep,don’t over-drink, don’t smoke morethan one cigar a day!”Everything in modera-tion. — Dorothy inAlexandria,Va.

Dear Heloise: Duringthe early days of my mar-riage, I stopped by myaunt’s house for a casual

visit. I left myhouse withoutbothering withmy hair ormakeup. Whileconversing withmy aunt, myuncle softly saidmy name,adding, “A littlepowder and alittle paintmakes a womanlook like whatshe ain’t.” I got

the message, and have

sincemade an effort to ad-here to that little bit of ad-vice! — R.S., via email

Dear Heloise: Mygrandmother was born in1892. She told me thiswhen I was probably 15years old.She said,“Whenyou apply cream or lotionto your face, apply it toyour neck, too.” I have al-ways followed that advice.— Belva in SanAntonio

4-H NEWS

BY BREE FOWLERAssociated Press

NEW YORK (AP) —Calling it the next logi-cal step in an evolutionover nearly six decades,Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp. (NYSE:NWS) saidThursday that it willsplit into two publiclytraded companies.

As part of the split,one company will oper-ate as a newspaper andbook publisher, and theother will be an enter-tainment company thatwill include the 20thCentury Fox movie stu-dio, the Fox broadcastTV network and the FoxNews cable channel.

While News Corp.’sboard unanimously ap-proved the split, it willneed to review a moreformal proposal on thematter. The deal is alsosubject to shareholderand regulatory ap-provals. News Corp. saidit plans to hold a meet-ing of its shareholderssometime in 2013. Theentire process may takea year to finalize.

The Murdoch family,which controls nearly 40percent of the votingshares in News Corp., isexpected to maintaincontrol of both compa-nies. Rupert Murdochwill serve as chairman ofboth companies andCEO of the media andentertainment company.News Corp. said it plansto assemble manage-ment teams and boardsfor both companies overthe next several months.

Murdoch said in aconference call with in-vestors that a splitwould result in twostrong companies.

“We’ve come a longway in our journey thatbegan nearly 60 yearsago with a single news-paper operating out ofAdelaide,”Murdoch said,referring to the Aus-tralian newspaper thathe inherited from his fa-ther that became thefoundation for NewsCorp.

The split of NewsCorp. is a symbolic turn-ing point for Murdoch,81. Through the years,Murdoch maintained afondness for newspaperseven as he purchased en-tertainment companies.In hearings last summerbefore U.K. lawmakers,he conceded that he reg-ularly called newspapereditors under his employwith the greeting:“What’s doing?”

Investors have al-

ready blessed the split.They’ve pushed the com-pany’s Class B stock up10 percent since thenews of the plan brokeearly Tuesday. The stockedged down 15 cents to$22.26 in midday trad-ing Thursday.

Under the plan, NewsCorp. shareholders willreceive one share of com-mon stock in each newcompany for each shareof News Corp. that theyhold. Each company willmaintain two classes ofstock.

Analysts relished theprospect that the fastergrowing entertainmentsegment would be val-ued more highly by newinvestors who weren’twilling to buy shares ina company beingdragged down by anewspaper industry indecline.

The publishing com-pany, which will includeThe Wall Street Journal,is expected to be themuch smaller of the two.Some analysts value itat about $5 billion, com-pared with the currentmarket value for NewsCorp. as a whole of about$54 billion.

Murdoch emphasizedon the call that the splitdoesn’t mean he’s givingup on his publishingbusiness.

“Our aim is nothingless than this: To createthe most ambitious,well-capitalized andhighly motivated newsand publishing companyin the world,” Murdochsaid.

Still, many analystshad questions aboutwhich company wouldbear the financial risksof a probe in the U.K.into phone hacking andbribery. Besides legalcosts, News Corp. alsofaces potential fines inthe U.S. under the For-eign Corrupt PracticesAct, which punishes

companies that havebribed officials abroad.

It is unclear if thesplit will appease theBritish telecommunica-tions regulator, Ofcom,which is reviewingwhether British SkyBroadcasting — of whichNews Corp. holds a 39percent stake — is “fitand proper” to hold abroadcasting license.Ofcom is expected towrap up its review laterthis summer.

British authoritieshave been probing alle-gations that News Corp.journalists at News ofthe World, which itclosed last summer, andother newspapershacked into phones andbribed public officials togain exclusive informa-tion.

Pending home sales numbersrise for 13th consecutive month

The Ohio Associationof Realtors reports thatthe number of single-family homes and condo-miniums put underagreement in May rosefor the 13th consecutivemonth compared to theresults from the prioryear.

“With each passingmonth, it’s becoming in-creasingly evident thatOhio’s housing market-place is making signifi-cant strides in itsattempt to recover fromthe downturn that deci-mated our nation’s econ-omy four-plus yearsago,” said OAR Presi-dent Robert U. Miller.

“The fact that we’vebeen able to attain gainsin the number of homesput under contract for13 consecutive monthsis not only a noteworthyachievement, but it’s aclear indication thatwe’re making progressin our effort to establisha stable, sustainable andgrowing housing mar-ketplace in the BuckeyeState.” Ohio’s May Pend-ing Home Sales Index of121.2, a forward-lookingindicator based on con-tract signings, rose 19percent from the May2011 index of 101.8.

An index of 100 isequal to the average

level of contract activityduring 2008, whichmarked the end of fiveconsecutive record yearsfor existing home salesand the onset of the re-cession. Activity levelsin 2008 are reflective ofa historically healthymarket. Our May 2012pending sales index of121.2 marks a 21.2 per-cent increase from thebenchmark May 2008index of 100. Addition-ally, the current resultsalso best the PHSImarks posted in Ohio in2009 (97.9) and 2010(70.4).

A pending sale or asale “under agreement”

is when the buyer andseller agree on terms ofthe sale of a home andhave a signed purchaseand sale agreement, buthave yet to close and berecorded as such. OAR,the largest professionaltrade association in thestate with more than26,000 members, is theonly organization thatcompiles this statewideinformation from se-lected Multiple ListingServices each month.The tracking of “pendingsales” provides reliableinformation aboutwhere the market isheading in comingmonths.

DR. WAL-LACE: I amnow 21 and havehad this prob-lem for eightyears. When Iwas 13 years old,I would occa-sionally go intomy room andfantasize aboutbeing a singer orabout being pop-ular. About thetime I was a jun-ior in high school, myfantasizing became con-sistent. I would fanta-size all day long while Iwas in class and evenwhile I was at homedoing homework.I fantasized so much

that I slightly lost touchwith the real world. I be-came withdrawn andwas walking around, asif in a daze. All throughcollege, my instructorsnoticed that my mind

seemed to al-ways be onsomething else.Well, now that Ihave success-fully graduatedfrom college,I’m still fanta-sizing.I have de-

cided that Ican’t and don’twant to go onliving my life ina fantasy

world. The problem isthat I have fantasizedso much that my mindhas become accustomedto it. I am sometimessuccessful at being real-istic, but other times,my mind unconsciouslygoes back to the fanta-sized state that it hasbeen habitually exposedto. I often wonder whenI will go back to my oldself.Dr. Wallace, do you

have an idea how I canstop living in this fan-tasy world? I have hadmany unsuccessful at-tempts at solving theproblem myself. —Nameless, Baltimore,Md.

NAMELESS: Sinceyou have successfullygraduated from college,not all your time wasspent in your “dreamworld.”The most important

factor in avoiding thefantasy world is to stayactive, both physicallyand mentally, in the realworld. Spending moretime interacting withfriends and family wouldbe a good start.Since you have had

many unsuccessful at-tempts at solving theproblem by yourself, it’stime you also had a chatwith a professional ther-apist.

DR. WALLACE: Ineed help. I am 15, and Iam very overweight. Iam a girl who is 5 feet 3inches tall, and I weigh180 pounds.I have been to the

family doctor, and hesaid there is nothingwrong with me. I hatesports because the girlsall laugh at me and I amtoo fat to participate.And, of course, no boywould go out with me. Idon’t know what to do.Please help. — Name-less, Cedar Rapids, Iowa

NAMELESS: It ap-pears you suffer fromovereating, a lack ofproper exercise and aweak constitution. Buttalk is cheap! Actionbrings results. So let’sget started.First, see your family

doctor again and askhim to suggest a healthyeating plan that suits

you and will help you eatfoods you enjoy that arenutritious and lowercalorie. Then get on itimmediately. Enlist thefamily to help you followit, without tempting youor always eating theirbest treats in front ofyou. Learn the caloriecounts of your favoritefoods and begin planningyour meals carefully.Next, get moving!

Daily exercise, beginningwith just a short walkaround the block, willbecome a pleasant rou-tine and helps you burncalories. You can beginresearching additionalexercise ideas and addthese gradually. I’m wellaware that maintaininga healthy eating plan isone of the more difficultchallenges that humansmust endure, but itbeats the alternative —that of being 15 years

old, 5 feet 3 inches tall,weighing in at 180 andhaving no dates.Once you start to lose

weight, your eating planwill have more choicesand be more bearable.For the first month, onlyhit the scales once aweek. Please write to mein a month and let meknow how much weightyou have lost — I care.

However, it would arouse theire of others if you pretend to beable to do something that they wantto but can’t.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Instead oftreating certain fun, competitive ac-tivities for what they are — merelygames — you might take things se-riously and take some foolish risks.Stick to your comfort zone.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Re-spect the talents and abilities ofothers, but just because you can’t dosome things that others can, don’tcredit them with bigger assets thanthey have. It would unnecessarilymake you feel inadequate.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’tspread things on too thick, andmake sure you have all the facts be-fore you speak up.

Unfortunately, whenyou’ll need her the most, she mightbe cozying up to your opponent.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Tellit like it is, even if you think itmight put you in a bad light in somepeople’s eyes. If you attempt to colorthe facts, it could make things farworse in other ways.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Youmight not be as sharp of a horsetrader as the person you’re doingbusiness with, so be extra careful.That individual may be trying totake the whole farm.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Sinceyou do have a natural ability to eas-ily see both sides of an issue, youcan’t help but use it.

Sun exposure dangers noted

Lunch turns into lecture over co-worker’s big tip

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Mytwo teenagedaughters are nothaving any luckin finding a sum-mer job. We livein a fairly de-pressed area.They aren’t allthat disap-pointed. They tellme they’ll havetime to work ontheir tans at ournearby lake.

What’s your opinion oftanning? I have heardnothing but bad thingsabout it. My girls saythat’s hogwash. Is it? —B.C.

ANSWER: Exposureto the sun’s ultravioletrays is a prime factor inpromoting skin cancer.The cancers appear laterin life.Around 1.3millionAmericans develop skincancer each year, andthese cancers do not in-clude melanoma, themost dangerous form of

skin cancer.Not only do ul-

traviolet raystransform skincells into cancer,they have an-other effect thatmight make yourgirls sit up andtake notice. Deeppenetration of ul-traviolet rays tothe lower layer ofskin leads todeeply wrinkledskin and gives a

person a weather-beatenlook. The lower layer ofskin contains proteinsthat support the upperlayer.

Everyone who goesoutdoors, especially inthe summer, and has nointention of working on atan (just what work is in-volved?) still needs toprotect the skin by wear-ing sunscreen. Sun-screens are nowdesignated as “broadspectrum” if they protectagainst both ultraviolet

A and ultraviolet B rays.Furthermore, the sun-screen ought to have anSPF (sun protection fac-tor) of 15 or greater.

People who sunbathemust be conscientiousabout applying sun-screen. A full teaspoon ofsunscreen is needed tocover each of these bodyareas: the face, the ears,neck, front of the trunk,back of the trunk, eacharm, the backs of thehands, each upper leg,each lower leg and thetop of the feet. Reapplyas directions on the prod-uct indicate. Stay out ofthe sun between 10 a.m.and 3 p.m., the time ofmost intense radiation.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: I read that alladults are deficient in vi-tamin D. I know vitaminD comes from sunlight.How does that squarewith the warning to stayout of the sun? — L.L.

ANSWER: The time

needed to convert skinchemicals into vitamin Dthrough the action of sunis not prolonged. I’ll giveyou two opinions on thelength of time. Choosethe one that appeals toyou.

Six to 18 minutes isenough exposure to sun-light. The lower numberis for people who alwaysburn but never tan. Thehigher number is for peo-ple who always tan butnever burn.

Amore easily followedrule is to limit sun expo-sure to 15minutes on thearms and legs two tothree times a week. Theexposure should takeplace during the most in-tense hours of sun radia-tion, between 10 a.m. and3 p.m.

In the winter, it’s allbut impossible for peoplein northern climates toachieve their daily rec-ommendation for vita-min D through sunexposure.

DEAR ABBY:My co-workersand I recentlywent out to eatand I was put inan awkward situ-ation. One ofthem announcedthat I had left abig tip when Ipaid my bill.Abby, I alwaysleave a generoustip. I was raisedwell below the povertyline, and my mother’stips literally determinedhow much we would beable to eat that day.

The co-worker whosaid it became upsetwith me and began lec-turing me about how“rude” it is to leave alarge tip, especially whenyou’re with other people.She even said it “de-grades” the server.

My mom mayhave raised medifferently thanmost people, butI was taught thatit’s OK to leave abig tip as long asyou don’t an-nounce it toeveryone. Waswhat I did con-sidered rude? —GENEROUS INCONNECTICUT

DEAR GENEROUS:No. The person who wasrude was your co-worker,for making a spectacle.She probably did it be-cause your tip made hersappear to be stingy. Din-ers leave tips based uponthe quality of the servicethey receive. If you feltyour server merited it,you were right to leave alarge tip.

P.S. I have never

heard of a server feeling“degraded” because of alarge tip. Grateful, yes.Degraded, never!

DEAR ABBY: I amdating a man,“Cameron,” I am crazyabout. We plan to bemarried next year once Ifinish college. There isjust one issue that’sstressing me. Cam’sapartment is gross andmessy.

There are dishes fromvarious dinners scat-tered all over the place. Ifind it disgusting, andI’m worried he will belike this after we’re mar-ried.

I have tried to talk tohim about it, but he getsangry and says that it’sHIS place. He says he’llbe neater when we’remarried. I’m not sure I

believe that.This seems a silly

thing to cause discord ina relationship, which isotherwise going well, butI AM concerned. Is thereanything I can do? —GROSSED OUT INBLOOMINGTON, IND.

DEAR GROSSEDOUT: Yes, there is. Youcan face the fact thatonce youmarry Cameronhe is still going to be thesame person he is now—sloppy, messy and defen-sive when you point outsomething that needsimprovement. Peopledon’t magically changeafter they say “I do.” Ifyou love him enough toaccept him just the wayhe is, and be the primaryhousekeeper after you’remarried, you may have ahappy union. If not, putyour foot down NOW.

Not much change is ex-pected in our weather pat-tern throughthe week-end. Hota n dh u m i dw e a t h e rwill pre-vail. Witha frontalboundarysprawled across the region,the chance of scatteredshowers and thunderstormswill continue. The greatestlikelihood will be during thepeak heating of the day.

CINCINNATI REDS pitcher Mike Leake (44) is congratulated inthe dugout after hiittng a home run off San Francisco Giants

Matt Cain in the sixth inning of a baseball game Friday in SanFrancisco.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —Mike Leake pitched a nine-hitter for his first career com-plete game and homered offMatt Cain, and the CincinnatiReds beat the San FranciscoGiants 5-1 on Friday night.Jack Cozart hit the first

pitch of the game from Cainover the wall in left-centerand, just like that, San Fran-cisco’s franchise-record streakof four straight shutouts hadended.Jay Bruce added a two-run

double in the first among hisfour hits to stake Leake (3-5)to a quick cushion as the Redsgot to Cain early to snap afour-game road skid. Leakehomered with two outs in thesixth, his second of the year.Cain (9-3), pitching at

home in sold-out AT&T Parkfor the first time since tossingthe 22nd perfect game June13 against the Astros, had hiscareer-best eight-game win-ning streak snapped.The right-hander allowed

three runs in the first inningfor the first time since June24, 2010, at Houston.San Francisco’s pitching

staff went 36 innings withoutallowing a run, beginningafter Cain’s start at Oaklandlast Sunday and lasting until

his next outing. It was thelongest scoreless inningsstreak in San Francisco his-tory and second-longest to thefranchise mark of 38 accom-plished by the New York Gi-ants in 1903 and ‘33.Bruce also hit an RBI dou-

ble in the seventh that chasedCain, matching his careerhigh with four hits for thefifth time he has done it.Cain’s 11 hits in 6 2-3 in-

nings matched his most givenup this year and the right-hander lost for the first timein 11 starts since a defeat toMiami on May 1. He allowedfive runs, struck out sevenand walked one.While Cain has the perfecto

to his name, it was everybodyelse in the rotation — BarryZito, Ryan Vogelsong, TimLincecum and Madison Bum-garner, in that order — in-volved in the remarkablestring of shutouts. San Fran-cisco also was the first team inmajor league history to blankfour clubs when the opponenthad begun the day in firstplace.Leake came out for the

ninth and allowed Pablo San-doval’s one-out home run be-fore retiring Brandon Belt ona deep fly to center and strik-

ing out Brandon Crawford toend his impressive 111-pitchperformance.Leake escaped the fourth

on an inning-ending doubleplay on which Sandoval, try-ing to break it up, reachedhis right hand around short-stop Cozart’s left leg to triphim up and keep him fromturning it. Belt was initiallycalled safe, then Reds man-ager Dusty Baker raced outto argue. The umpiring crewvisited and overturned thecall to interference, endingthe inning.Brandon Phillips returned

to the Reds lineup after hewas scratched before Thurs-day night’s series opener be-cause of continuing effectsfrom the blow to the head hereceived during Wednesday’s8-4 loss to the MilwaukeeBrewers. Baker said Phillipspassed all concussion testsFriday.Phillips went 1 for 5 with a

seventh-inning single andstolen base before scoring onBruce’s second double.“He was trying hard to

lobby to get back in thelineup,” Baker said.Leake singled in the second

ahead of his homer. Joey Vottoalso contributed two hits for

the Reds, who finish the firsthalf with this 11-game roadtrip.

NOTES: Leake threw 76pitches for strikes. His 37 hitsover the last three seasonsare most by any major leaguepitcher. ... Cain is 4-2 with a2.01 ERA in eight homestarts. ... A low-hoveringblimp cause plenty of uneasi-ness for those watching itswirl in the wind just abovethe ballpark and near thecenter field light poles earlyin the game.At first pitch, thewind was 12mph blowing to-ward center. ... Baker man-aged the Giants’ 2002 WorldSeries runner-up team thatwill be honored here Sunday.“It’s hard to believe it’s been10 years,” Baker said. “My sonwas 3 at the time. Now he’s13.” Some players have al-ready begun to arrive, includ-ing Benito Santiago andPedro Feliz. Home run kingBarry Bonds is scheduled toattend the festivities. ...Baker is 15-13 as a visitingmanager at AT&T Park. ...The Giants called up RHPBrad Penny, signed to a minorleague contract May 18 forhis second stint with the or-ganization, from Triple-AFresno.

BALTIMORE (AP) — TheCleveland Indians wasted aseason-high 16 hits and twicegave away the lead, yet thatwasn’t even the worst of it.Clearly, the most damaging

aspect of Cleveland’s 9-8 lossto the Baltimore Orioles onFriday night was the injurythat will sideline third base-man Lonnie Chisenhall from4-6 weeks.Chisenhall fractured a

bone in his right forearm afterbeing struck by a pitch fromBaltimore reliever Troy Pat-ton. He was immediately re-moved from the game in thefifth inning and probablywon’t return to action untilAugust.“I had a bad feeling about

it,” Indians manager MannyActa said. “It’s bad news forus, especially a young kid likehim. It’s always tough seeinga young guy getting his feetwet, getting better and thenall of a sudden, an injury likethat.”Acta said Chisenhall will

be sent back to Cleveland and

will probably undergo surgerynext week.Indians starter Derek Lowe

gave up seven runs, fourearned, in 5 1-3 innings. Hedidn’t take the loss, but tookthe blame because the three-run homer he gave up to MattWieters put Cleveland in a 7-5 hole in the sixth inning.The ball landed on Eutaw

Street, in front of the B&OWarehouse and far beyond theright-field wall.“When it hit the ware-

house, I was pretty sure itwasn’t coming back,” Lowesaid. “I take full responsibilityfor us losing. I threw thedumbest pitch I’ve thrown ina long time to Wieters. It wasmy call to throw a sinker in-side. You have to make himhit the ball the other way. Itwas the single most frustrat-ing pitch I’ve thrown all year.”Ryan Flaherty singled in

the tiebreaking run in the sev-enth for the Orioles, whobroke out of their offensivefunk at the expense of Loweand the Cleveland bullpen.

On a steamy night inwhich temperatures reached100 degrees, both teamsworked up a sweat circlingthe bases. Cleveland outhitBaltimore 16-10, but the Ori-oles scored just enough runsto secure their third win in 10games.“It was a battle,” Wieters

said. “We haven’t been able tocome out on top of those, andwe really worked to get thatwin.”Chris Davis started the

Orioles’ seventh-inning upris-ing with a two-out single offJoe Smith (5-2). After Wieterswalked, Flaherty delivered anRBI single to right.Xavier Avery hit his first

major league homer in theeighth to make it 9-7.The Orioles went 3 for 12

with runners in scoring posi-tion after going 3 for 52 inthat situation over their pre-vious 10 games. It was thefirst time in 11 games thatBaltimore scored more thanthree runs.“I was so proud of the guys

tonight. They just kept grind-ing,” Orioles manager BuckShowalter said. “They werenot going to be denied.”Matt Lindstrom (1-0) got

the last out in the top of theseventh, Pedro Strop workeda perfect eighth and JimJohnson earned his 23rd savedespite giving up a ninth-in-ning run.Wieters and Cleveland’s

Asdrubal Cabrera of the Indi-ans both homered ontoEutaw Street. It was only thesecond time in the 21-yearhistory of Camden Yards thattwo balls landed on EutawStreet in the same game;Rafael Palmeiro did it twiceon April 11, 1997.The Orioles trailed 5-4 be-

fore Wieters connectedagainst Lowe in the sixth in-ning. The lead vanished in theseventh, when the Indianspulled even on an RBI doubleby Shelley Duncan and a run-scoring double play.Duncan entered in the fifth

as a pinch runner for Chisen-hall.

Tribe falls despite 16 hits

BETHESDA,Md. (AP) —Apunishing golf course. Tem-peratures that topped 100.Hunter Mahan still managedto make Friday at Congres-sional feel like a breeze.Mahan finally had a good

score to match the efficientway he has been swinging theclub. He made seven birdies inthe stifling heat for a 6-under65, giving him a two-shot leadgoing into the weekend at theAT&T National as he goesafter a PGA Tour-leadingthird win of the year.Chris Couch sought med-

ical attention and struggled tofinish in the oppressive condi-tions. One caddie had to stopafter nine holes, and anothervomited to the side of the 13thgreen from drinking too muchwater.Tiger Woods stayed in the

game with a 68 in the morn-ing, when it was still so hotthat towels were used to wipesweaty faces more than toclean clubs. He talked aboutthe value of staying fit andstrong to survive days likethis. He was five shots behind.Mahan, though, has set

himself apart for two days."I hit a lot of good shots,"

said Mahan, who missed onlytwo fairways and threegreens. "I hit so many fair-ways and greens, I made iteasy on myself. This is apretty punishing golf course ifyou get off line a little bit. Iput myself in some great spotsto make putts.And I felt like Iplayed well on the back, whenit was getting really hot andyou're getting a little bit moretired."Mahan was at 7-under 135.

His two rounds fulfilled whathis swing coach, Sean Foley,said Thursday when describ-ing his ball-striking as "alaser show."Robert Garrigus had his

sixth straight sub-par roundat Congressional — that in-cludes last year at the U.S.Open when he became a foot-note in history as only thefourth American to break parall rounds of a U.S. Open —with a 67 and was two shotsbehind, along with JimmyWalker and Brendon DeJonge, who each had a 69.Stewart Cink, who draped

a towel over his head waitinghis turn to putt on the 14thgreen, showed signs of aresurgence with a 68 that puthim in the group three shotsbehind, along with VijaySingh (70), Pat Perez (69) andRod Pampling (67).Woods was at 2-under 140,

in a tie for 11th.More telling than only 18

players who remained underpar was the cut at 148. It wasone shot higher than the cutfor the U.S. Open last year atCongressional, and it was thehighest score to make the cutat a regular PGA Tour eventsince 149 at The Barclays in2009.Congressional was tough—

fast and firm on the course,scorching in the air — but itwas fair.Mahan twice had to save

par over the last five holes. Hecame up short on the 14th,but he had a couple of options.With the pin all the way to theback behind a ridge, he couldrun it up the slope to the hole,or even play long and have itroll back to the hole. He choseto lag it to the hole, hit it thin,and got away with the slightmiss when it rolled back to 2feet."I expected to hit it a little

bit cleaner off the club face,but that how you shoot 65," hesaid. "Get good breaks likethat."He was more pleased with

the 17th, which he called theone loose swing of the day.Mahan missed the green tothe right, but saved par. Onthe 18th, he ripped a tee shotand had sand wedge into thegreen to 12 feet for one lastbirdie.

Mahan leadsby 2 shots,Tiger close

What may berecorded in history asthe first ever youth ten-nis tournament inShelby County was heldrecently as part of the2012 Money ConceptsOpen.The event was for

children ages ten andunder and utilized theQuickStart format forplay.Smaller courts, low

compression tennisballs, shorter racquets,and an abbreviatedscoring system are com-ponents of QuickStartplay.Held at Lehman High

Under Division was thefirst competitive eventfor many of the young-sters.Michelle Bayliff,

mother of participantsFinnegan and GavinBayliff, remarked that,“As a parent, the eventwas great for helpingmy children understandtournaments andrules.”Lauren Chaney trav-

eled from Lima to Sid-ney for her firstexperience at tourna-ment play. Her enthusi-asm to participate wasreflected in her com-ment, “I was so excited,it seemed like a two

minute drive to Sidney.”David O’Leary and

Greg and Priscilla Wiltof the Shelby CountyCommunity Tennis Asso-ciation, tournament or-ganizer, felt that thisfirst effort at a youth di-vision in the Open wentextremely well.“Seeing the excite-

ment of the childrendoubled that feeling,”Greg Wilt said.Support was given by

SAN FRANCISCO(AP) — Madison Bum-garner's teammates hadsomething special forhim — a shower of beerand shaving cream, acelebration for his firstcareer complete gameand shutout.He was also one pitch

away from somethingeven more memorable.Bumgarner pitched a

one-hitter, allowing onlyRyan Hanigan's solidsingle leading off thesixth inning, as the Gi-ants threw their fran-chise-record fourthstraight shutout andbeat the Cincinnati Reds5-0 Thursday night."It's nice to get a com-

plete-game shutout,"

Bumgarner said. "Butfour straight shutouts?That's awesome."Bumgarner (10-4)

struck out eight andwalked two in winninghis fifth straight deci-sion. San Franciscomoved alone into the NLWest lead for the firsttime this year."By the numbers, it's

the best game I'vethrown," Bumgarnersaid. "But I've felt betterand gotten beaten uppretty bad. That's theway this game goes."The Giants became

the 17th team to havefour or more consecutiveshutouts since 1918.TheBaltimore Orioles did itmost recently, with five

straight in 1995."I've seen a lot of

things in this game butI've never seen that be-fore," Giants managerBruce Bochy said. "It'sbeen an impressive run.That's hard to do."Angel Pagan, Pablo

Sandoval, Gregor Blancoand Ryan Theriot eachdrove in a runs for theGiants, who have wonfour straight and six ofseven to move into firstplace in the NL West forthe first time since lastAug. 9. Melky Cabrerahad two hits andreached base four times."It's exciting stuff,"

Sandoval said. "Whenthey are throwing likethat it's fun to play de-fense. You want to makethe plays."Johnny Cueto (9-4)

had his four-game win-ning streak halted. Heallowed two earned runsand six hits in six in-nings."You just hate for

Johnny to lose like that,"Reds manager DustyBaker said. "It was a sit-uation where he just gotoutpitched. On most oc-casions you give up twoor three runs, you got apretty good chance towin the game."

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS coach Byron Scott, leftto right, Dion Waiters, Tyler Zeller, and general

manager Chris Grant answer questions during anews conference Friday in Independence, Ohio.

BOB FINNANFINNAN

AP Exchange

The Cavaliers weresitting in an enviable po-sition in Thursday'sNBA draft.They knew they were

going to get one of thebest players available.They had the fourthoverall pick, after all.However, they felt

they hit the jackpot indrafting Syracuse shoot-ing guard Dion Waiters."There's only one

other player we wouldhave (taken)," Cavscoach Byron Scott said."That's the one thatwent No. 1 (Kentucky'sAnthony Davis to theHornets)."On my board, watch-

ing him and all thoseguys, he was the guy Iwas harping about (toCavs general managerChris Grant). Our wholegroup is excited aboutthe talent this youngman has."In Scott's opinion, the

6-foot-4, 221-poundWaiters was the second-best player in the draft.The Cavs plan on

pairing Waiters in theirstarting backcourt nextto point guard Kyrie Irv-ing."We have another guy

who can create," Scottsaid. "We had one guy inKyrie. That's a lot ofpressure for one guy tohandle. Now we have an-other guy who can sharein that. He doesn't mindsharing it. He doesn'tmind having the ball inhis hand with the gameon the line. He's notafraid to fail. That's thething I love about him.He's a competitor and atough kid."Waiters has some

similarities with Irving'sgame.They both can cre-ate for themselves andothers. They also bothget to the basket. Butonce they get there, theyhave different ways ingetting the job done."They are different in

that Dion is strong,"Scott said. "He has astrong upper body. Hecan finish with author-ity. Kyrie has all thetricks."Scott said the Cavs

weren't caught up in thefact Waiters didn't start

a game in his two yearsat Syracuse."The fact the guy did-

n't start doesn't meananything to me," he said."The fact that he fin-ished pretty much everygame is the biggest thingthat I looked at and thefact that he had the ballin his hands. There wasno game that he was inwhere the moment wastoo big. He seemed to re-ally like those situa-tions."Syracuse coach Jim

Boeheim isn't the easiestcoach for whom to play.Waiters clashed at timeswith Boeheim."Freshman year com-

ing in, it was kind ofhard, never coming offthe bench in my life be-fore until I got to Syra-cuse," Waiters said. "Itmade me mature as aman, and it really helpedme out."Don't expect him to

come off the bench withthe Cavs. They didn'tdraft him No. 4 overall tobe a role player."With Dion, he knows

he's going to have toearn that spot," Scottsaid. "But playing with

Kyrie, we think they canbe a dynamic duo. Kyriedoesn't necessarily haveto have the ball 99 per-cent of the time. He cansometimes rest on theoffensive end and letthis young man havethe ball to create forhimself and his team-mates. "Waiters' strength is to

score and get to the bas-ket. His perimeterjumper is still a work inprogress."I've got to work on

every aspect of mygame," he said. "If theysay I don't have a jumpshot, it's up to me to goout there and get up1,000 jump shots everyday just to get it better."Waiters was the Big

East's Sixth Man of theYear. So he went fromsixth man to the No. 4overall pick."It hasn't really hit

me yet, but it's some-thing I've alwaysdreamed about," he said."I've worked very hard toget where I'm at, andthis has only made mewant to work that muchharder and take mygame to the next level."

Scott thinks Waiters wasdraft’s second-best player

KIEV, Ukraine (AP)— And so they meetagain at Euro 2012.This time, however,

Spain and Italy are play-ing for the EuropeanChampionship and aplace in the historybooks.The Mediterranean

rivals meet Sunday inKiev's Olympic Stadium,three weeks after theydrew 1-1 in their open-ing match of the tourna-ment's group stage.As the defending

champion and WorldCup holder, Spain is bid-ding to win a thirdstraight major title, ce-menting its place as oneof the greatest nationalteams. It would alsomatch Germany's recordof three EuropeanChampionship titles.Only the unpre-

dictable Mario Balotelliand a surprising Italyteam — orchestrated byAndrea Pirlo — standbetween Spain and whatmany see as its destiny.Even Italy coach Ce-

sare Prandelli reckonsthat Spain is the best betto lift the trophy."At the moment, even

if I open my eyes, I amstill dreaming," Pran-delli said after his side's2-1 victory over Ger-many in the semifinals,when Balotelli scoredboth goals."Spain remain fa-

vorites because of theyears of hard work thatthey have put in. Theyhave been dominant inevery game they'veplayed so far."Spain hasn't lost in a

European Champi-onship since 2004 andhas already matchedWest Germany as theonly defending cham-pion to return to thefinal after winning theWorld Cup. The WestGermans managed it in1976, but subsequentlylost to Czechoslovakiafollowing Antonin Pa-nenka's famous chipshot in a penaltyshootout.This final brings to-

gether teams with play-ers brazen enough tohave successfully copiedPanenka's audaciousspot kick during theirpenalty shootouts in theknockout rounds. Spaindefender Sergio Ramosused it in the semifinalwin over Portugal, afterPirlo employed it againstEngland in the quarter-finals.

It also features thetournament's best defen-sive team against one ofits most exciting attack-ing squads.Spain has not con-

ceded a goal since thatopening draw with Italyand hasn't been scoredupon in nine eliminationgames at major tourna-ments. Balotelli, AntonioCassano and Pirlo areleading one of Italy's topattacking teams in re-cent history."We always just tried

to play, I think that isour strength," said Pran-delli, whose team is bid-ding to give Italy itssecond European title,the same number asSpain and France."When we started off

at this tournament, wewere convinced that byworking in a certain waywe could become aproper team— not just aquality team, but also ateam with the rightspirit."Though Balotelli's se-

lection had been indoubt due to troublesboth on and off the pitchat Manchester City, the21-year-old Italian ofGhanaian descent hasscored three times atEuro 2012."I waited a long time

for this moment, espe-cially because mymother came all the wayhere and I wanted tomake her happy," he saidafter the victory overGermany."This is the greatest

evening of my life, but Ihope Sunday will beeven better," added thestriker, who has a chanceto finish as the tourna-ment's top scorer withone more goal."For the final my fa-

ther is coming, too," headded. "So I hope toscore . . ."Along with their play-

ers, the Azzurri alsohave an encouraging sta-tistic on their side: Spainhasn't beaten Italy in acompetitive match thatdidn't end in penaltiessince 1920.Spain's attack has

featured a rotating castof forwards, with attack-ing midfielder Cesc Fab-regas usually beingpreferred to striker Fer-nando Torres. On Sun-day, coach Vicente delBosque is likely to re-peat the 4-6 formationhe first deployed againstItaly on June 10.
