By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewThe Jay County High School

archery team has been a partici-pant in the world tournamentfor a number of years.For the first time, their

younger counterparts will bejoining them.Sixteen archers from East Jay

Middle School, along with 24from the high school, will makethe trip this weekend to MyrtleBeach, South Carolina, to com-pete in the 2016 NASP WorldTournament.

“I’m really excited to be thefirst team to go,” said KassidyFennig, an East Jay eighth grad-er who was part of the Chiefsquad that missed last year’stournament by one point.“It’s bragging rights for her,”

Bryce Fennig, her older brother,said.“It is a big deal,” said John

Fennig, father to Bryce and Kas-

sidy and the East Jay coach.“They’ve shot for years andyears and years, and this is thefirst time they’ve ever made it.”While Kassidy is making her

first trip to the world tourna-ment, Bryce is no stranger to theevent. The recent JCHS gradu-ate who has been involved withthe archery club for seven years,will be making his fourth trip tothe world tournament. Previ-ously, the event was in Ten-nessee, Wisconsin and Missouribefore moving to South Carolinafor the first time.“It is a cool experience getting

to go shoot,” he said. “Last yearwe talked to some people fromSouth Africa. It is a cool experi-ence to do.”The National Archery in the

Schools Program (NASP) beganin 2002 in Kentucky becausewildlife conservation agencieswere concerned too many youthwere forgoing learning about

the outdoors.The program targeted middle

school children, and after rapid-ly expanding to 46 states and theDistrict of Columbia, the agerange also increased to includestudents grade 4 through 12.Former Jay County conserva-

tion officer Dwane Ford kick-started the program locally atWest Jay Middle School. NowJay County sheriff, he continuesto coach Jay County and will beaccompanying the Patriots inSouth Carolina.John Fennig said about 4,400

competitors from the UnitedStates, Canada, South Africaand Australia will descend onMyrtle Beach for the three-daytournament, which begins Fri-day.The group will get to Myrtle

Beach on Friday and stay at aresort in South Carolina’sbiggest tourist location. While

Coal ash waste ruleprompting concernsBy RICK CALLAHANAssociated PressINDIANAPOLIS— Envi-

ronmental groups areraising concerns aboutIndiana’s plan to adoptnew federal standards forthe ponds and landfillswhere utilities store vastamounts of coal ash wasteproduced by coal-firedpower plants.The tighter regulations

from the U.S. Environmen-tal Protection Agency tookeffect in October, and Indi-ana is planning to incorpo-rate those provisions intoits solid waste rules.Indiana is home to at

least 74 coal ash ponds and14 landfills containing thegritty waste that’s thelegacy of its long relianceon burning coal to gener-ate electricity. That ashcontains arsenic, chromi-um, lead and other heavymetals that can threatengroundwater.

The Indiana Depart-ment of EnvironmentalManagement is takingpublic comments throughJune 30 on its draft planfor adopting the new rules,including requirementsfor preventing theimpoundments from con-taminating groundwater.The state agency held a

public hearing Thursdayin Indianapolis duringwhich several environ-mental groups raised con-cerns about the plan,which the EPA mustapprove.Jodi Perras, the Indiana

representative for theSierra Club’s Beyond CoalCampaign, said she andother activists werestunned that IDEM’s pro-posal does not include arequirement that utilitiespost on their websitesinspection reports andother documents on theircoal ash sites.

Perras said that provi-sion in the EPA’s coal ashrules is intended to ensure“trust, transparency andhonesty” about coal ashimpoundments and thatonline access is importantto residents near coal ashponds worried about pos-sible groundwater con-tamination.“We find it incredible

that IDEM appears tointend to eliminate thatkey provision of thesepublic accountabilityrequirements from thestate plan,” she said. Thenew federal rules areenforceable by states andcitizens, but not the EPA.Jeff Sewell, the permit-

ting branch chief forIDEM’s Office of LandQuality, said the stateagency did not include theutility reporting provisionbecause IDEM makes dataon coal ash availableonline to the public.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.(AP) — Joan Schwenkinsists she never pres-sured her daughter toattend Indiana University,but she admits all the tripsto Mini University mayhave affected her decision.Schwenk first brought

her daughter Lisa Ritchelto the week-long programas a toddler in the 1970s.Back then, Mini Universi-ty students stayed in resi-dence halls and the pro-gram included separateactivities for children.“I loved the cafeteria in

Forest,” Ritchel said,referring to the residencehall along East ThirdStreet. “When I got older,we went to the HPER andLake Monroe for canoeingwhen they were in class.”Mini University no

longer provides activitiesfor children, and studentsmust find their own lodg-ing for the week, but in its45th year, it still offers

classes on an ever-chang-ing array of topics to pro-mote lifelong learning.And Schwenk is stillspending the week withher daughter, who earneda degree in music educa-tion from IU in 1998.The two have been to

Mini University together19 times. There weresome years when theycouldn’t go, like whenRitchel was in highschool and her marchingband schedule conflicted,but now, the program hasbecome an annual tradi-tion.“It’s a whole week of

school,” Ritchel said.“That might sound crazyto some people, but thereare no tests and no home-work.”There is an opportuni-

ty to engage with the pro-fessors, who volunteertheir time for Mini Uni-versity, as well as getideas for new books to

read. Schwenk just fin-ished James H. Madison’sbook “Hoosiers: A NewHistory of Indiana.”Ritchel carried a copy ofthe book with her as sheand her mom walkedthrough the IU MemorialUnion earlier this weekto hear the author and IUemeritus professor give a

lecture titled “Cars,Hoosiers, & TwentiethCentury Change.”Inside the Frangipani

Room, Madison waspleased when severalmembers of the class cor-rectly identified aMaxwell automobile ascomedian Jack Benny’scar.

By DIANA DOLECKISpecial to The Commercial ReviewI doubt if the young couple

who peeked into our carvinggroup a month or so ago expect-ed what happened last week.They were new to the commu-

nity and were checking outactivities at the local communi-ty center. The young woman,Natalie, had just sampled one ofthe exercise classes. She wasalready so fit that she wasn’teven out of breath. Weexplained what we were doingand the couple promised tocome back the following week.None of us ever expected to seethem again.When they actually showed

up we put knives and wood intotheir hands and grilled themabout any and everything. Wetold them about upcomingevents around town. We toldthem about the best places toshop. We wrote notes so they

wouldn’t forget what we hadsaid.They kept coming back every

week. We soon learned that theguy, Noah, wasn’t exactly as newat carving as he had let on. Infact, both of them show signs ofimmense talent. For the mostpart, they are quiet but we havegleaned enough information tosatisfy our curiosity.They are recent college gradu-

ates. Noah is from Texas, of allplaces, but not anywhere nearmy daughter. Natalie is fromCanada. Good thing we don’thave a wall between our coun-tries, or we would never had met

this delightful young lady.The couple arrived in Port-

land because of Noah’s job.They are looking forward to theannual town-wide garage saleotherwise known informally asthe tractor and engine show.They plan to fit in by renting agolf cart. They are surprised athow many of the vehicles drivearound town almost year round.They told us of Natalie’s plan

to gain American citizenship. Inlight of all the bad news, ran-dom and not so random shoot-ings and political rhetoric, I amsurprised that anyone wouldwant to be part of our country.Then I remind myself that newsis only news because it is out ofthe ordinary. The acts of kind-ness that define our lives seldommake the papers.This brings me to last week.

Noah and Natalie got marriedover the weekend. They hadbeen expecting to go to the

courthouse and fill out a lot ofpaperwork and that would be it.Instead, they were treated to aproper ceremony in a gazebo ina nearby town.At our regular meeting our

best baker presented a weddingcake she had made for them.Someone brought punch. Some-one else brought coffee. One ofus took their phone so we couldrecord the festivities. We toldthem they had to cut the cake,then schooled them in how to doit. They were told to feed eachother a piece. When Nataliepicked up a fork, she wasinstructed to use her hands.In between giggles, they man-

aged to get the cake into eachothers mouth without makingtoo much of a mess. Then wepoured punch and told them tointertwine their arms to drink.This took longer than expectedbecause they were very carefulto not spill it on each other.

We finally gave their phoneback and they huddled togetherwhile laughing at the pictures.After we were finished with themost delicious wedding cake Iever had, we all went back toworking on our projects.Several conversations were

going on at once, one of whichrevolved around pig wrestling atthe fair. Noah’s ears perked upand he wanted to know how hecould get in on this. We gave himenough information to ensurethat he can participate in get-ting muddy later this summer.We have adopted these two

young people as our own. Fortwo hours a week they are a partof our family. When they peekedinto the room for the first time, Idoubt if they realized that theywould have so many new peoplewho would do their best to makethem feel accepted. They surelydidn’t expect cake, punch andcoffee.

Aunt doesn’t likebeing volunteered DEAR ABBY: I live with

my parents and am notfond of children. Myfather volunteers me tobaby-sit my nieces whilethey are right in front ofus and before I have achance to discuss any-thing. If I stand up formyself and say no, myfather lays a guilt trip onme and tells the kids thattheir aunt is “beingmean.” I’m grateful that my

parents took me in after Igraduated from universi-ty, which has allowed meto work on a seconddegree. However, when Iam volunteered to dosomething I don’t enjoy —like entertain the kids —my father somehowalways manages to leavethe house. He often lec-tures me about things Ishould do or things othersshould do, but he neverdoes any of them himself.His excuse is that heworks to support us finan-cially.Am I being ungrateful

and should I grin and bearit? Or should I do an inter-vention with Dad whenthe kids aren’t over? —OVERTIRED AUNT DDEEAARR OOVVEERRTTIIRREEDD::

land had the best drinkingwater around over 30 yearsago.Recently I moved back to

Portland and the waterright out of the tap smellslike sewage water. It’s sad tosee how things have gotten.The smell makes you wantto vomit.I can’t believe the citizens

are expected to drink this. Iwouldn’t expect my pets todrink stinky water.Also, has anyone noticed

how bad the highwaybetween Portland and

Adams County is? It is notfit to drive on, or safe.I thought the lottery

money was supposed to payfor repairs on the highway.Who has pocketed thesefunds? Not the highwaydepartment.Dean HummelPortland

Letters tothe Editor

By BOB ZALTSBERGBloomington Herald-TimesI have a vivid memory

of attending a journalismtraining session spon-sored by the Hoosier StatePress Association one ofthe first Decembers I wasin this business. I wasyoung and eager to learn.In front of the room

teaching about newspaperdesign and editing was asmall man who whirledfrom printed page to print-ed page posted at the frontof the room, making hugeblack marks on them andexplaining why they weregreat — or not anywherenear as good as theyshould be.I can still see Ray

Moscowitz wielding thatMagic Marker and holdingcourt about the responsi-bility journalists had to dothe best for their readers.He was direct, outspokenand passionate about whathe said.Ray, who died last week

after a tough 16-month bat-tle with brain cancer, wasa newspaperman in everysense of the word. That may seem like an

outdated and quaintdescription in a digitalworld. I see it as exceed-ingly honorable. He cared deeply about

the communities heworked in, the readerswho read the newspapershe was in charge of, andthe young people he hiredto report and edit inHoosier cities such asFrankfort, Peru, Wabashand Michigan City as aleader for the old Indiana-based Nixon NewspapersInc. He was tough and fair, a

leader of both cheers andcriticism, whichever waswarranted.We had already been

friends a long time when

he retired to Bloomingtona few years ago. He and hiswife, Barbara, built ahouse here. He joined theBloomington Rotary Cluband the BloomingtonPress Club. He became a devoted

reader of the H-T and fre-quently critiqued ourstaff writers in privatecomments or emails to me,saying things like “thatwas a hell of a piece” or“that kid’s a hell of awriter.” He made good sugges-

tions about how the H-Tcould be a better newspa-per, always in a construc-tive way.I wrote a column in 2013

about his newest book, “AJournalist’s Journey,”which included a collec-tion of 50 columns and sto-ries he wrote during hiscareer.

I described him as a sto-ryteller: “Sit with him formore than about 90 sec-onds and you’ll find out.He’s an observer of peopleand has an elephant’smemory for detail, traitsthat served the self-described ‘news junkie’well in a newspaper careerthat spanned 35 years,mostly at small cities inIndiana.”Since 1998, there has

been an award in Indianajournalism named forhim. The Ray MoscowitzAward is given to extraor-dinary journalistic effortsthat hold governmentaccountable and tell sto-ries of importance to read-ers. It’s not given everyyear; only when a panel ofother journalists believe anominee has truly gonewell above and beyond theroutine in digging out astory or exposing wrong-doing.Since 2002, he’s been a

member of the IndianaJournalism Hall of Fame,which is located at Indi-ana University. He’s been achampion for the Hall andserved as president of itsboard of directors.Ray made a positive

impact on a lot of Hoosierjournalists, including me.It was an honor to knowhim.

A little giantof journalism

By LEONARD PITTS JR.Tribune Content AgencyYes, Hitler.Some of you questioned my evoca-

tion of history’s great villain in arecent column on House SpeakerPaul Ryan’s surrender to presump-tive GOP nominee Donald Trump. Ilikened Ryan to Franz von Papen, aGerman politician who helped AdolfHitler rise to power under the naivedelusion that he could control him.A handful of Trump fans found

that, as one put it, “a bit of a stretch.”One guy expressed his skepticismthrough the time-honored expedientof the triple punctuation mark:“Hitler???”Yes, Hitler.Not that their dubiousness is

unreasonable. In recent years, Hitlerand the Holocaust have popped up inpolitical debate as routinely as dande-lions on the lawn. One man said hav-ing to tack a “No Smoking” sign onhis building was like being a Jewforced to wear a yellow star; anotherclaimed popular anger over theexcesses of the rich was reminiscentof Kristallnacht.Almost by definition, Hitler and

Holocaust comparisons trivialize thatera and reveal the ignorant insensi-tivity of those who make them. Butthe key word there is, almost.Because for the record, I’m not the

only one who sees the shadow of Ger-many in the 1930s over America inthe 2010s. Once again, a clownishdemagogue bestrides the politicallandscape, demonizing vulnerablepeoples, bullying opponents, encour-aging violence, offering simplistic,

strongman solutions to difficult andcomplex problems, and men andwomen who bear more moral author-ity on this subject than I ever couldsee something chilling and familiarin him.“I don’t want to make any compari-

son to Hitler, but believe it or not hisdelivery and the way he conductshimself is very similar to Hitler’sway of doing things. He discreditseverybody who disagrees with him.He’s insulting. He discriminatesagainst everybody.” So says MartinWeiss. He’s a survivor of Auschwitz.“It is repeating itself and it is again

the inattention that people pay to realcues that one should understand. ... Ithink one has to speak up. And that’sthe one lesson from the Holocaust. Donot be a bystander.” So says MargitMeissner, who fled occupied Franceon foot through the Pyrenees. LikeWeiss, she spoke in January to Wash-ington Post columnist Dana Milbank.Then there is Eva Schloss, who in

January said of Trump, “I think he isacting like another Hitler ...” Schloss,who spoke to Newsweek, was the step-sister of Anne Frank.No, I don’t predict a new Holocaust

if Trump bamboozles America intoelecting him. But some new calamity,

inconceivable to us now, but repul-sive to the values we claim to holddear, does seem certain. And thatraises a question: If one should neverbe too quick to make comparisons toGermany in the 1930s, is it not alsoimportant, on the rare occasions it ismerited, to make sure one is not tooslow?One reason, after all, that no one

saw Hitler for what he was is thatpeople simply could not conceive ofanything as preposterously mon-strous as what eventually occurred.They took refuge in the assurance —the false assurance, as it turned out— that reason would eventuallyreassert itself.The failure of imagination is often

a component in tragedy. That’s whyI’ve always declined to blame theBush administration for 9/11. Beforethat, who could have conceived offanatics using jetliners as missiles?But afterward is another story.

Once you have seen for yourself thatthe unthinkable is not, it moves fromthe arena of imagination to that ofhistory. And then, you must use it tounderstand where we are and helpchart where we should — and shouldnot — be going. You can’t blame peo-ple who didn’t realize what Hitlerwas. They had never seen anythinglike him before.You and I, however, have no such

excuse.••••••••••

Anderson Herald BulletinThere are perhaps

three alternatives facingMadison County resi-dents concerning thedevelopment of recre-ation and business alongWhite River.The first is based on the

proposed Mounds Lakereservoir, a massive $440million two-county effortthat requires dammingthe river in Anderson andletting it back up intoDelaware County.Although there is talk ofscaling back the project,it has currently receiveda thumbs-down fromChesterfield, Dalevilleand Yorktown.The plan is wide scale

— supplying drinkingwater to Indianapolis res-idents while encouragingbusiness developmentand recreation along theriver. Many in the countyare awaiting the next stepto determine if it's eco-nomically feasible.

The second alternativecomes in part due toopposition to the reser-voir project. The Hoosier Environ-

mental Council wants toconnect Anderson toMuncie and nearby coun-ties by building MoundsGreenway, a paved 17-mile path. Constructioncosts are estimated at $3million to $8 million,depending on right-of-way purchases.The walk-and-bike

route would likely notdevelop businesses, otherthan bike or coffee shops,but it could address ahuge health problem thataffects all residents. It might have minimal

impact on our gas con-sumption habits; shouldfolks decide to bikeinstead of drive a car,there might be savings ofat least $706,000 annually,the environmental coun-cil says.In Madison County, 34

percent of our residentsare obese; 28 percent areinactive and don't exer-cise.Those figures may

scare enough people to goout and immediatelystart paving a greenway.But it's best to take thisproposal under advise-ment until communitiesstart to latch onto theconcept — and that goesbeyond the concept ofkeeping healthy. Theenvironmental councilhas presented a ratherthorough proposal thatneeds further economicanalysis. Communitiesneed discussions onwhether they are willingto participate in — or

take the lead on — theproject.A greenway with easy

access can become atransportation corridorlinking East Central Indi-ana residents withMounds State Park andthe Anderson trail sys-tem, going all the way toMuncie, Marion andRichmond where userscan connect with the pop-ular Cardinal Greenways,which is touted at 62miles as Indiana's longestspan of recreationaltrails.The third option often

sounds the easiest: Donothing. That should beunacceptable to recre-ation enthusiasts andfamilies seeking ways tospend time together. Ifthe reservoir doesn'tdevelop, local residentsshould consider the valueof the greenway. Takinghealth issues into play,the greenway is betterthan doing nothing.

scheduled to shoot Satur-day, with the middle schoolgroup going through theirflight on Sunday.Each shooter gets 15

arrows from distances of 10and 15 meters. A perfectscore is 300, and the teamscore is comprised of thetop 12 shooters. Last year, Jay County

totaled 3,182 to finish 65thout of 78 schools.Bryce Fennig is hoping

for a better performance inhis final season competingwith the Patriots.“I’d say we’re about an

average team that goesthere,” he said. “We’re notgoing to be one of the topones, but we’re not going tobe one of the lowest oneseither.

“We’re about averagefor the teams that com-pete there.”Every shooter uses the

same equipment, aMatthews Genesis bowwith Easton 1820 alu-minum arrows that are 30inches long.“Everybody is even all

the way across theboard,” John Fennig said.“So what it narrows downto is your basic skills.”Those skills, he added,

are mostly instinctive, asthe Genesis bow, whichis designed specificallyfor NASP, does not havesights. Archers learn to aim

using the tip of the arrow,a skill that is developed byshooting at a high vol-ume.Fennig said during a

regular season — whichbegins in October and canrun as late as Junedepending on if the teamqualifies for the nationalor world tournament —an archer may shoot asmany as 50,000 arrows.“There are no sights,”

he said “It is all just you,instinctive. It is a taughtway to shoot.“You have people shoot-

ing with sights that can’thit as good as these kidsare doing.”

KABUL, Afghanistan(AP) — A Taliban suicidebomber killed 14 Nepalesesecurity guards in anattack Monday on theirminibus in the Afghancapital, Kabul, the InteriorMinistry and an Afghansecurity official said.The Nepalese were on

their way to the CanadianEmbassy where they workas guards, according toanother Nepalese guardwho was wounded in theattack.It was the latest attack

by the Taliban, who havestepped up assaults,including in the Afghancapital, as part of theirsummer offensive. Theinsurgents frequently tar-get government employeesand Afghan securityforces across the country.Elsewhere in

Afghanistan, a bombrigged to a motorbikekilled eight Afghan civil-ians during morning rushhour in a province in the

northeast. And later onMonday in Kabul, a sec-ond Taliban bombingkilled an Afghan civilianand wounded five people,including a provincialcouncil member who wasthe intended target of thatattack, authorities said.In the bombing that

killed the Nepaleseguards, the bomber was onfoot when he struck theminibus, said Gen. AbdulRahman Rahimi, the city'spolice chief. He did notidentify the foreign securi-ty company the guardswork for.An Interior Ministry

statement confirmed thatall 14 killed were Nepalesecitizens, describing theattack as the work of a"terrorist suicide bomber."It said the explosion alsowounded nine people, fiveNepalese employees andfour Afghan civilians.Amrit Rokaya Chhetri,

a Nepalese guard wound-ed in the attack, told The

Associated Press theywere on their way to theCanadian Embassy whenthe blast took place."Many people died,"

Chhetri said from his hos-pital bed, his head covered

with bandage. "I say to myfamily, I am ok and I willcome home."Abdullah Abdullah, the

country's chief executiveofficer, condemned theattack in a posting on

Twitter, saying: "Thisattack is an act of terrorand intimidation."Taliban spokesman

Zabihullah Mujahidclaimed responsibility forthe attack.

Gun controlvote likelyto fall shortWASHINGTON (AP) —

Democrats get their long-sought votes on gun con-trol a week after the mas-sacre in Orlando, Florida,but election-year politicsand the powerful NationalRifle Association dim anyprospects for changes inthe nation’s laws.The Senate will vote

Monday night on fourmeasures — two spon-sored by Republicans, twoby Democrats. All areexpected to fail in a bitter-ly divided Congress.Gun control remains at

a stalemate as few law-makers are willing to chal-lenge the NRA and nomass shooting the pastfive years — fromPhoenix; to Aurora, Col-orado; to Newtown, Con-necticut; to Charleston,South Carolina; to SanBernardino, California —has led to new laws. Pollsshow large numbers ofAmericans agree with theneed for at least some lim-ited gun measures such asbackground checks. But

Democrats have beenunable to translate thatinto legislation becausethe NRA is able to mobi-lize and energize voterswho will threaten to votelawmakers out on the gunissue alone.“Laws didn’t stop them

in Boston. Laws didn’tstop them in SanBernardino, where youhad every type of gun con-trol law that you couldhave. And they didn’t stopthem in Paris, where peo-ple can’t even own guns,”NRA CEO Wayne LaPierretold CBS’ “Face theNation” on Sunday.The four votes on Mon-

day night are the result ofa deal after Sen. ChrisMurphy, D-Conn., filibus-tered for almost 15 hoursseeking action in responseto the Orlando shootingthat killed 49 people andinjured 53. Democrats areexpected to block twoRepublican amendments,arguing that they fallshort in controlling thesales of guns.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) —Federal investigatorspromised to provide moreinsight as to what washappening inside thePulse nightclub after agunman started a deadlyassault that was the worstmass shooting in modernU.S. history.The FBI was releasing

today a printed, partialtranscript of the conversa-tions between the gunmanwithin the Pulse gaynightclub and Orlandopolice negotiators, U.S.Attorney General LorettaLynch said.An FBI spokesman said

agents would offer furtherdetails about the shooting,including the transcripts,at a news conference nearthe nightclub.The release is coming a

day after tens of thou-sands of people held a can-dlelight vigil in the heartof downtown Orlando forthe 49 victims who died in

the massacre. The victimsalso were remembered atchurch services and atmakeshift memorialsthroughout Orlando."As a community, it's

important that we gathertogether to show our sup-port because only togethercan we move forward,"said Gabrielle Claire, amusician and UniversalOrlando worker who saysshe knew three Pulse vic-tims who died. She washolding a "Hugs for Heal-ing" sign at the vigil andnumerous strangers cameup to hug her."We don't have to be

afraid of holding eachother. We don't have to beafraid of saying to otherpeople, 'I'm here for you,'"she said.Meanwhile, hospital

officials said four peopleremained in critical condi-tion this morning, morethan a week after theywere wounded in the

attack.Orlando Regional Med-

ical Center said 18 victimsfrom the shooting werestill at the hospital andthree more surgeries werescheduled for Monday. Theother 14 patients are listedin stable condition.Lynch said in inter-

views Sunday on severalnews shows that the FBIwould release a partial,printed transcript of theconversations betweengunman Omar Mateenfrom within the Pulsenightclub and Orlandopolice negotiators. Armedwith a semi-automaticweapon, Mateen went on abloody rampage at theclub June 12 that left 49people dead and 53 othersseriously hurt. Mateendied in a hail of gunfireafter police stormed thevenue.Lynch told ABC's "This

Week" that the top goalwhile intensifying pres-

sure on the Islamic State— the extremist groupthought to have inspiredMateen — is to build acomplete profile of him inorder to help preventanother massacre likeOrlando."As you can see from

this investigation, we aregoing back and learningeverything we can aboutthis killer, about his con-tacts, people who mayhave known him or seenhim. And we're trying tobuild that profile so thatwe can move forward,"Lynch said.Lynch said she would be

traveling to Orlando onTuesday to meet withinvestigators.Lynch said that a key

goal of the investigationwas to determine whyMateen targeted the gaycommunity. The victimswere predominantly gayand Hispanic since it was"Latin night" at Pulse.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Donald Trump is back-tracking from his con-tention that victims of theOrlando massacre shouldhave been allowed to carryarms into the nightclubwhere they were attacked— a stance even the NRAsays is untenable.The presumptive Repub-

lican presidential nomi-nee tweeted Monday thathe was "obviously talkingabout additional guards oremployees" of the Floridanightclub when he spokeabout the value of havingmore people armed to

challenge the gunman.That flies in the face of

his comments after themassacre.A day after the attack,

he told radio host HowieCarr: "It's too bad thatsome of the young peoplethat were killed over theweekend didn't have guns,you know, attached totheir hips, frankly, andyou know where bulletscould have flown in theopposite direction, Howie.It would have been a muchdifferent deal. I mean, itsounded like there wereno guns.”

Iran:plotaxedTEHRAN, Iran (AP) —

Iranian intelligence offi-cials have broken up "thebiggest terrorist plot" everplanned to target Tehranand other provinces in theIslamic Republic, thecountry's state televisionreported today.An anchor on state tele-

vision read off a state-ment attributing the infor-mation to Iran's Intelli-gence Ministry. Officialscould not be immediatelyreached for comment toelaborate.Several suspects have

been arrested and areunder interrogation overthe plot after agents seizedammunition and bombs,the state TV said.The semi-official Fars

and ISNA news agenciesquoted Ali Shamkhani,the secretary of Iran'sSupreme National Securi-ty Council, as saying theattack was timed to hitduring the Muslim holymonth of Ramadan. Iran'sstate-run IRNA newsagency, citing the Intelli-gence Ministry, said theattack was supposed tocome on the anniversaryof the death of theProphet Muhammad'swife, Khadija, which wascommemorated in smallceremonies across Iran.The report didn't identi-

fy those arrested, thoughit called them "takfiris," aderogatory term in bothArabic and Farsi referringto Muslims who accuseothers of being "nonbe-lievers." Iranian authori-ties often refer to followersof the Sunni militantIslamic State group as"takfiris."

LONDON (AP) — Thepound and global stockmarkets surged today asboth opinion polls and bet-ting markets suggested anincrease in support forBritain to remain in theEuropean Union in thefinal crunch week of thevote.The death of a pro-

Europe lawmaker in a gunand knife attack last weekmay have sapped some ofthe momentum of cam-paigners fighting to leavethe 28-nation bloc inThursday's vote. NigelFarage, a leading figure inthe "leave" camp, accusedhis opponents of trying tocapitalize on Jo Cox's slay-

ing for political advan-tage.Backers of "leave" on

Monday also lost the sup-port of a former Conserva-tive Party chair, whoswitched sides afterexpressing disgust for aposter depicting a crowdof migrants walkingthrough Europe with awarning in capital lettersthat said: BREAKINGPOINT. Sayeeda Warsisaid Monday that moder-ate voices in the "leave"campaign have beendrowned out in favor ofcampaign of xenophobiaand hate."The pause in the cam-

paign seems to have lent

crucial support to team'remain,' with only fourdays to go until the vote,"said Kathleen Brooks,research director at GainCapital. "The marketshave always been morecomfortable with the U.K.remaining in the Euro-pean Union."The pound rose 1.8 per-

cent to $1.4619 Monday,rebounding from lastweek, when it hit its low-est levels since April. Instock markets, the FTSE100 was up 2.6 percent andother indexes around theworld were just a buoyant,with Germany's DAX 3.1percent higher.Opinion polls are now

back to even, though theshifts are very small fromearlier polls last weekleaning to exit.But the shift in opinion

was small, and it wasunclear precisely whatwas behind the shift, saidrespected pollster BenPage of Ipsos MORI. Thatsaid, three out of fourpolls taken since Cox'sdeath show a shift toremain."The two sides are at a

level pegging. It's all in themargin of error," Pagesaid. "It could be anxietyabout the economy. Itcould be revulsion abouther murder."More clear were the bet-

ting markets, which haveconsistently favoredremain. Betting marketBetfair said the probabili-ty of "remain" has risen to72 percent, from Friday's65 percent.However, the shifts also

suggest that turnover willbe critical in the vote, assupporters of "leave" areseen as being more com-mitted than those of"remain." The weather isalso seen as being a factor,as Britain has beendrenched in unsettledweather for days."If the weather contin-

ues as it is today, it will bevery close indeed," Pagesaid.

and natural talent takesover,” Miller said. Sharpehad been struggling at theplate recently, makinggood, strong contact withthe ball but hitting right atfielders. When he roundedthird and trotted home, hesmiled from ear to ear ashe was greeted at the plateby his teammates.“He had some strong at

bats,” Miller added.Sharpe added a double togo 2-for-4 with four RBIs inthe opener. He added a hitand an RBI in the secondgame as well. “I think hecan do that on a regularbasis.”Portland totaled seven

hits in the frame and had adozen players bat beforethe Bandits recorded anout. In all, the Rockets sent15 to the plate.Sharpe’s RBI double in

the fifth inning made it 12-6 Portland, which extend-ed the lead to 14-6 afterZach Tanner one-hoppedthe scoreboard in left fieldfor a two-run home run.Alex Boos cut into the

deficit with a two-run shotof his own in the top of the

seventh but the Banditscouldn’t muster much else.In addition to his per-

formance at the plate,Sharpe picked up the winon the mound in relief ofAndrew Bobeck. Sharpescattered six hits over fiveinnings, allowed threeearned runs while strikingout two and walking a pair.Bobeck couldn’t get out ofthe third inning, allowingfive earned runs on sevenhits. He struck out fourand walked two.In the second game,

Portland’s offense contin-ued to roll as 2002 JayCounty High School grad-uate Mitch Waters hit atwo-run double as part of athree-run first inning. The Rockets scored

twice in the second beforestriking for seven moreruns in the fourth. TJLindstrand and Geeslinhad RBI singles, Watersand Sharpe drew bases-loaded walks and DaltonTinsley blasted a two-runsingle — his second hit ofthe inning — to right field.Geoff Bowers also had adouble and scored a run asthe Rockets led 12-1 afterfour innings.

Portland totaled 25 hitsin the twinbill, including16 from the top four spotsin the order — Tinsley,Geeslin, Tanner andWaters.“These guys are good

players,” said Miller,whose team travels to Tay-lor University to take onthe Twin City Bankers at 7p.m. Wednesday. “They’regoing to find a way. It’s funto watch. We also hadthree double plays in thefirst game, which I like towatch those too.“It is a part of our suc-

cess story. Show up and letthem play.”Dan Bollenbacher daz-

zled yet again, lasting allfive innings of the secondgame. He scattered fivehits, gave up one earnedrun, walked one andstruck out eight. He gothimself out of a bases-loaded jam in the secondinning with back-to-backstrikeouts, and strandedrunners at the corners inthe fourth inning too. The first, third and fifth

frames were all clean forthe flame-throwing righty,who improved to 3-0 on theseason.

By JANIE McCAULEYAP Sports WriterOAKLAND, Calif. —

LeBron James cradledthe shiny gold trophyand struggled to sumup what might be hissweetest champi-onship yet, the one heis so proudly bringinghome to his nativenortheast Ohio just ashe promised to dowhen he returned tothe Cavaliers two sum-mers ago.Later, flanked by his

three children onFather’s Day, a cigarbetween his lips andwinning net as a neck-lace with the lingeringstench of champagne,James began to under-stand the magnitude ofhis accomplishmentfor Cleveland after ahalf-century wait.“I’m coming home

with what I said I wasgoing to do,” he said,adding, “I can’t wait toget off that plane, holdthat trophy up and seeall our fans at the ter-minal.”James and his

relentless, never-count-them-out Cavs pulledoff an improbableNBA Finals comeback,and Cleveland is titletown again at long last.James delivered on a

vow to his home stateand brought the Cavsback from the brink asthey became the firstteam to rally from a 3-1finals deficit, beatingthe defending champi-on Golden State War-riors 93-89 on Sundaynight to end a 52-yearmajor sports champi-onship drought inCleveland.“I’ve never seen a

man in my life tell anentire state: ‘Get on myback, I got you. Get onmy back and I’m going

to carry you. I don’tcare if we fail, I’mgoing to wake up thenext morning and I’mgoing to start workingout and prepare for thenext year,’” RichardJefferson said. “... Hewas like, ‘I’m going tocome back homebecause I promisedthem that I would dosomething.’ And hecarried us the wholeway.”In a testy series of

blowouts — and a fewblowups — the winner-take-all Game 7 provid-ed the thrilling finalewith James as thefinals MVP disarmingtwo-time reigningMVP Stephen Curryand his record-settingWarriors.The native of Akron

rattled off momentsfrom the lengthy list ofCleveland sports heart-break and said what itmeant for him to per-sonally bring the Cava-liers their first champi-onship.Playing his sixth

straight finals, Jamesalmost single-handedlycarried the Cavs backinto this series and fin-ished with 27 points, 11assists and 11rebounds as the Cavsgave their city its firstmajor sports winnersince the Browns wonthe NFL title in 1964.He also had threeblocked shots, includ-ing a key one of AndreIguodala on a fastbreak in the final min-utes.An emotional James

OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) —Dustin Johnson settled thescore Sunday in the U.S.Open.Johnson atoned for his

past mishaps in the majorsby showing he had thesmarts to handle thetoughest test in golf, evenwhile playing the final twohours without knowingwhere he stood when theUSGA questioned whetherhe should be penalized onestroke for his ball movingon the fifth green.Johnson said it didn’t.

The USGA said it wouldwait until after the roundto decide.America’s most power-

ful golfer took matters intohis own hands at Oak-mont, capping off a chaot-ic and confusing finalround by stuffing hisapproach into 5 feet for abirdie that made the penal-ty a moot point.The USGA ended up

penalizing him, turningthat 68 into a 1-under 69.The score was irrelevant.He won by three shots.Finally, he’s a major

champion.

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewIt had been nine days since the

Rockets last played, so a slow startwas expected.But once the offense got going, the

train was hard to slow down.A nine-run fourth inning in game

one and seven runs in the sameframe of the second game gave thePortland Rockets a doubleheadersweep of the Indiana Bandits on Sat-urday at Portland Memorial Park’sRunkle-Miller Field.“If we don’t play during the week

and get plenty of at bats over theweekend we are going to be a little

rusty,” said Portland managerRandy Miller, whose team defeatedthe Bandits 14-8 in the first gamebefore a 12-1, five-inning victory inthe second game. “We were rustybecause we had some time off.”The slow start in game once saw

Portland (9-2), which boasts a seven-game winning streak, manage onlythree hits through the first threeinnings and trail the Bandits 5-2heading into the fourth.That’s when the Bandits went to

the bullpen, taking out starterCameron Glaze after three inningsin favor of Tyler Westerich.

It’s also when the Rockets startedto get its offense going.Bill Geeslin and Zach Tanner hit

back-to-back RBI singles, and laterin the inning Alex Delk and CollinAffolder drew bases-loaded walksfor a 6-5 Rocket advantage. The fourruns chased Westerich from thegame after seven batters, andCameron Gruell was still unable torecord an out. A wild pitch and anerror plated two more runs for Port-land, before Kevin Sharpe blasted athree-run home run to left field tocomplete the nine-run inning.
