Pokemon Go appeals to
wide range of residents
COOLING OFF — With heat advisories in effect all weekend, area pools and
splash pads, like the one above in Rockford, Ohio, were popular destinations.
The forecast calls for temperatures to be somewhat more moderate this week.
Poll shows support grows among
Americans for stricter gun laws
The Associated Press
Americans increasingly favor tougher gun laws
by margins that have
grown wider after a steady
drumbeat of shootings in
recent months, but they
also are pessimistic that
change will happen anytime soon, according to
a new Associated PressGfK poll.
Nearly two-thirds of
respondents expressed
support for stricter laws,
with majorities favoring
nationwide bans on the
sale of semi-automatic
assault weapons such as
the AR-15 and on the
sale of high-capacity
magazines holding 10 or
more bullets.
The percentage of
Americans who want
such laws is the highest
since the AP-GfK poll
started asking the question in 2013, a survey
taken about 10 months
after the Sandy Hook
Elementary
School
shooting in Newtown,
Conn., that killed 20
children and six educa-

High-profile
shootings also appear to have
taken a toll on Americans’
sense of safety. Strong
majorities of those polled
expressed some degree
of concern that they or
a relative will be a victim
of gun violence or a mass
shooting.
‘‘If you live in the
United States in these
days right now, you
have to be concerned,’’
said Milonne Ambroise,
a 63-year-old administrative assistant from
Decatur, Ga. ‘‘You could
be on the street somewhere. You could be at
a shopping mall thinking there will be a mass
shooting and you will be
in the middle of it. You
can’t not think about
it.’’
Ambroise, a native of
Haiti who moved to the
U.S. nearly 50 years ago,
said she is now much
more alert and on guard
whenever she is in public.
‘‘I’m looking for exits.
This isn’t something I did
before,’’ she said. ‘‘What
if I have to run? Where’s
the exit? Where would I
go?’’
The level of concern
about being victimized
is not uniform, however.
Nonwhites are significantly more likely to be
very or extremely concerned.
Alonzo Lassiter, 66,
of suburban St. Louis
worries that his autistic
17-year-old son could be
the victim of gun violence, either by a robber
or the police.
‘‘If somebody told him
to get on the ground
and put his hands up
— or told him to give up
his headphones — he
wouldn’t readily identify those instructions,’’
said Lassiter, who is
black. ‘‘He may be an
easy target.’’

People of all ages have
been traveling between
the real world and the
virtual world with the
help of the new smart
phone app, Pokemon Go,
which allows the user
to find and capture virtual Pokemon in the real
world.
To play, players must
first download the app
on their phone and sign
up for the game using
a Google account or a
Pokemon Trainer Club
account. After signing up,
players customize their
own avatars and enter the
Pokemon Go map — an
animated area with roads
and brightly-colored grass
where landmarks in the
real world double as
Pokestops and Pokemon
Gyms. Players can then
catch virtual Pokemon
with their phones while
traveling on foot.
But how are people
reacting to Pokemon
Go?
Steve Edwards, a
75 year-old native of
Decatur, said the app is
“very, very impressive,”
and that while the app
“approaches the idea of
texting and driving, what
with doing two things at
once,” Pokemon Go still
provides valuable exercise and “looks really
neat” overall.
Kevin Runyon, 30, of
Decatur, not only praised
the physical benefits of
Pokemon Go, but also
the app’s ability to bring
people together. He called
the app “miraculous”
and described the streets
of Decatur as “flooded”
with people bonding over
virtual monsters. “It’s a
great way to meet people
and get exercise,” said
Runyon.
When asked if he
played Pokemon Go even
during the night, Runyon
said, “Sometimes. My son
and I will walk around
once the sun goes down.
Karrie Rice is a Pokemon Go enthusiast, and wears
her passion on her sleeve ... well, actually on her
head.

He loves it, too.”
So Pokemon Go provides valuable exercise,
brings strangers together and allows parents
to bond with their children. Is there anything
Pokemon Go can’t do?
According to local resident, Gloria Arthur, there
is. “There are some problems with Pokemon Go,”
Arthur said, “such as
servers crashing, people
not paying attention to
their surroundings and
muggings taking place.
Kids under 16 should
definitely be with their
parents when they use
the app.”
However,
Edwards,
Runyon and Arthur all
agreed that Pokemon Go
was a positive experience. “It’s leading us to a
more social society,” said
Arthur. “It’s something
that appeals to all ages.”
Too busy to
play Pokemon?
NEW YORK (AP) — Too
busy with your real life to
play the hit augmented
reality game ‘‘Pokemon
Go?’’ For a price, entrepreneurs will play the
game for you.
Ads are being posted
on Craigslist by people
who say they will log on
to your ‘‘Pokemon Go’’
account and effectively
run up your score while
you are stuck at work or
sitting in class.
Pokemon

Lewis Gutierrez and
Jordan Clark, of New
York City, say they have
clients paying them $20
per hour for the service.

Pence funds
set aside
only for
Holcomb?
INDIANAPOLIS
(AP)
— Indiana Gov. Mike
Pence’s pick to replace
him on the November
ballot is suggesting that
other Republicans seeking the nomination might
not get help from Pence’s
$7 million campaign fund
should GOP leaders go
against the governor’s
wishes.
In an email obtained
by The Associated Press,
Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb
told
the
22-member
Indiana Republican state
committee, which will
vote Tuesday on Pence’s
replacement, that Pence
has made it ‘‘crystal clear
that he will assist me
in maintaining control of
the Governor’s office.’’
‘‘I know from speaking directly with him that
his support is not symbolic, but rather it is a
commitment to the financial backing, staffing,
and resources available
through the Mike Pence
for Indiana Campaign
Committee,’’
Holcomb
wrote. ‘‘That is something
no other candidate in this
race can boast.’’
Al
Hubbard,
an
Indiana GOP mega-donor
and former George W.
Bush adviser, characterized Holcomb’s letter as
‘‘threatening’’ and said
‘‘I’m annoyed that Eric
and his people would
suggest that Mike is not
going to support 100 percent who the committee
choses.’’
‘‘I’m a major donor to
(Pence’s) $7.1 million and
I can assure you that if
Mike does not use that
money to support the party’s nominee, his major
donors will go crazy,’’
Hubbard said Sunday.
‘‘We gave that money to
the Republican nominee,
not to Mike Pence to do
whatever he wants.’’
Holcomb spokesman
Pete Seat said the lieutenant governor wasn’t
saying Pence wouldn’t
support a different GOP
nominee.
‘‘Eric
is
speaking
directly on conversations
he has had with the governor regarding Eric’s
candidacy specifically,’’
Seat said.
A spokesman for Pence
did not immediately
respond to a request for
comment.
The message was the
latest in the flurry of
behind-the-scenes lobbying since Pence withdrew from the governor’s race July 15 after
the Republican Donald
Trump plucked him to be
his vice presidential running mate.

Indiana gets $766,000
to help battle Zika virus

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
says it will award
$766,000 to Indiana to
fight the Zika virus.
The federal agency says the award is
Indiana’s
share
of
about $60 million in
CDC funding to states,
cities, and territories to
support efforts to protect Americans from the
virus and adverse health
outcomes
that
can
result from it, including
the serious birth defect
microcephaly.
The funding will support efforts to monitor
the virus, strengthen
labs and improve mosquito control and monitoring.
Zika can be transmitted by mosquito
bites and through sex.
The virus has been
active this year in the
Caribbean,
Mexico,
Puerto Rico and much
of Central and South
America.

chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee

leave as party chief. Her
departure comes a few
days after the publication of 19,000 hacked

favorites for Clinton during the primary.
‘‘The party now needs
new leadership that
will open the doors of
the party and welcome

said.
Wasserman Schultz’s
abrupt departure was
undoubtedly an effort
to keep the Democrats’

from shareholders fed up
with a downturn in the
company’s revenue during the past eight years.

Loving America means finding fault with it
Nobody would say we’re flawless
— especially not in a summer of
mass shootings and police killings
The Decatur Daily Democrat

Donald Trump:
The candidate of
the apocalypse
These are anxious times in America. Despite
a steadily, if slowly, growing economy and the
absence of a major war, people remain troubled
by a sense of national underperformance and
myriad social ills, most recently the surge in
racially tinged fatal shootings committed by
law enforcement officers and against them. A
new Gallup poll reports that only 17 percent of
Americans feel satisfied with the way things are
going, the lowest percentage since October 2013
— and down 12 points in just the past month.
For many, of course, a cause of concern is
Donald Trump, who accepted the Republican
presidential nomination Thursday evening.
Belligerent and erratic, Trump nevertheless has
a serious chance to win in November. In his
acceptance speech, he sought to enhance his
political prospects the only way he knows how:
by inflaming public angst, so as to exploit it.
Trump took real challenges and recast them
in terms that were not only exaggerated but also
apocalyptic. “The attacks on our police, and the
terrorism in our cities, threaten our very way of
life,” he claimed. Though he addressed issues
ranging from public safety, to immigration, to
trade, Trump’s proposed solutions all shared
a common premise: the way to overcome difficulty is through force. To American companies
that exercise their right to move production
abroad, the Trump administration will administer unspecified “consequences.” A giant wall
will block migrants and drug traffickers along
the Mexico border. And “law and order” — an
old trope of Richard Nixon and George Wallace
that Trump brought out of retirement — will be
restored.
Perhaps politically effective because of their
simplicity, Trump’s now-familiar formulations
would fail as actual policies — because they are
simplistic. There is no practical prospect, for
example, of constructing the wall he insistently
touts; even if built, drug traffickers and others
could eventually tunnel under it. And, as per
usual, last night he added no details to this plan
that might convince anyone otherwise.
As for law and order, the president has at
most indirect influence over thousands of law
enforcement agencies across the country. To the
extent it can be taken seriously at all, Trump’s
assertion that “safety will be restored” on the
day of his inauguration implies a vast federalization of a traditional state and local function,
contrary to long-standing law and custom — not
to mention the small-government doctrine of
the Republican Party that has so unwisely and
hypocritically hitched its wagon to Trump’s star.
To tense communities in need of the nuanced
toughness that police chiefs such as David O.
Brown of Dallas have successfully applied, a
President Trump would project from the White
House a repressive attitude, unbuffered by a
shred of sensitivity, racial or otherwise. Less
safety, not more, could be the result.
Trump began his speech by presenting himself as the bearer of painful but necessary truth.
And no doubt, for many of his listeners, his
words expressed a deeply felt emotional reality.
There is real fear in the land; real pain. But it
will take real leadership, not the wishful, demagogic brand Mr. Trump embodied Thursday
night, to address this.

I was sitting on a bus one summer, chatting with a man behind
me who’d worked all over the
world in the U.S. foreign service.
Like many conversations today,
ours turned eventually to the
many problems with our country.
That’s when his companion,
who’d been silent so far, spoke.
If things are so bad, he barked at
me, why don’t you leave the country?
This man espoused a view I find
antithetical to true patriotism. It
can basically be summed up as
“America — Love it or Leave it.”
There’s a lot that’s great about
America, no doubt. But nobody
would say we’re flawless — especially not in a summer wracked
by mass shootings and police killings. Nobody would say we can’t
become better in virtually every
respect.
We’re a rich country, but we’d
be better if we reduced poverty
until it was no more. We’re a
democracy, but we could extend
our voting rights, reduce gerrymandering, or take any number of
other measures to ensure each of
us has a say in our government.
We have doctors and researchers who contribute so many
advancements to medicine, but
we can improve access to affordable health care so that nobody
has to die because they’re poor, or
goes bankrupt for getting lifesaving care.
In fact, loving America means
finding ways to make it better.
Imagine an America where
citizens insisted from the start
that you could only be considered
patriotic by insisting that we’re
number one — and that criticizing

I can’t watch another police killing
Shocking videos will
come and go, but systemic police violence
will continue regardless of whether we’re
watching
By Joshua Serrano

became the latest black
Americans to turn into
Twitter hashtags when
videos of their deaths at
the hands of police circulated on social media.
But I couldn’t bring
myself to watch them.
I still remember the
helpless frustration I
felt, my stomach twisting
in knots, as I watched
the video of Eric Garner
being choked to death
while screaming “I can’t
breathe.” Over and over
again, I subjected myself
to the emotional and
psychological trauma of
watching someone who
could have easily been
me being murdered.
Afterward, I decided
that it’s not worth my
wellbeing to ever watch
another video like that.
That’s meant taking long
breaks from social media
and TV news.
But it’s not like I can’t
see what’s going on.
In my 23 years as
a New Yorker, liberal
Washington Post and conservative mayors alike — from Rudy
Giuliani to Bill de Blasio
— have aggressively targeted struggling black
and Latino communities
in the city with policing.
Coupled with the war
on drugs that the U.S.
has been waging on poor
communities of color for
decades, that means poor
black people are more
likely to have encounters with the police. And
we’ve all seen how those
encounters can end.
DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT
the United States at all was akin
to being disloyal. We’d be stuck
with a pretty troubled country.
At our founding, women
couldn’t vote, slavery was legal,
and enslaved people were considered three-fifths of a person.
The U.S. government continued a
genocidal campaign against Native
Americans into the 19th and early
20th centuries.
But some found it possible to
be both patriotic and critical. They
called for the abolition of slavery
and extending the right to vote to
all citizens. Later they fought to
end Jim Crow, pass civil rights
and environmental legislation,
and to legalize birth control use
— which was once illegal for even
married couples.
Each of those milestones
required finding fault with our
nation. I doubt you’ll find an
American today who doesn’t think
we’re better for it.
More recently, we’ve legalized
same-sex marriage, allowed gays
Similar patterns play
out all over the country. Despite a news cycle
driven by the latest videos of black people dying
at the hands of police
— with individual circumstances endlessly
debated each time — it’s
beyond clear that the
men and women who
are killed aren’t just
unlucky people in isolated encounters.
Instead, as Supreme
Court Justice Sonya
Sotomayer writes, “They
are the canaries in the
coal mine whose deaths,
civil and literal, warn us
that no one can breathe
in this atmosphere.”
There’s ample data to
support that the United
States has a big problem with police violence
and racially biased policing. According to The
Guardian, nearly 600
people have been killed
by the police so far this
year. And young black
men are 9 times likelier
than other Americans
to die at the hands of
cops.

Shocking videos will
come and go. But this
violence will be present
regardless of whether we’re watching. The
problem is systemic,
and demands a systemic
solution.
That means analyzing federal, state, and
local laws that drive patterns in police behavior
and leave no room for
accountability. This can
give us specific things to
rally around for change.
For example, special
prosecutors, not secretive grand juries, should
prosecute all police officers accused of unjustified shootings. And every
department should have
civilian review boards
empowered to conduct
independent investigations and provide oversight.
Congress
should
strengthen existing laws
against systemic police
misconduct by lowering the legal threshold
for bringing civil rights
lawsuits against police
departments, and allow-
ing private citizens and
organizations to bring
pattern-or -practice
lawsuits, not just the
Department of Justice.
Additionally,
when
departments are found
to have violated people’s
civil rights, instead of
simply entering an agreement to reform, these
departments should have
their federal funding
immediately suspended. And cases of abuse
should be brought to
trial in a federal court.
Moreover, all officers
should get racial bias
training, and training
that emphasizes deescalating tense situations.
Thinking systemically
also means supporting
community organizers
and protesters working to bring the antiblackness of policing in
the United States to the
forefront of our national
consciousness — and
applying strategic, sustained pressure on our
elected officials until
they do something to
end police violence.
Finally, it also means
keeping up on the news
— while avoiding the
urge to click “play” every
single time there’s a new
video of a police shooting.
In a country with a
not-so-distant history
of lynching black people
and leaving their bodies hanging to terrorize entire communities,
these state-sanctioned
executions must never
seem normal.

ACCF names first Masters Heating July 2016
and Cooling Inc. scholarship recipient Community Calendar
The Adams County Community
Foundation recently named the
first Masters Heating and Air
scholarship recipient as Noah
Brite.
Brite plans to attend Ivy Tech to
major in electrical.
Mark Bulmahn, owner of
Masters Heating and Air, said he
remembered a presenter speaking
about a heating and air certification program while he was still in
high school. At the time, Bulmahn
had no post high school plans, so
he spoke with his parents about
the heating and cooling certification program.
The program was not cheap —
$600 a semester for four semesters. It is something he followed
through with, however, and it paid
off well for Bulmanhn and his
family.
He started his business, Mark's
Heating and Air, in 1980 out of
his parents' home. Now, Mark's
Heating and Air has grown and
transitioned to Masters Heating
and Cooling Inc. with locations
in Decatur, Berne, Fort Wayne
and Portland. Bulmanhn said he
has been very blessed with good
employees who have helped his
company thrive over the past 30
years.
This scholarship is Bulmanhn's
opportunity to give back and
support a student seeking additional education in a vocational
area.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I work for a
prominent music publication, and for the
first half of 2016, my staff had to write
about the deaths of David Bowie, Merle
Haggard, Prince and Muhammad Ali. We
are mentally drained. Writing about the
untimely passing of different makers in
our society is exhausting, and I pray that
we do not have to write another death
article any time soon. How do I pick up
my staff’s spirits to inspire them to stay
fresh? -- Pressing On, New York City
DEAR PRESSING ON: In every media
organization, there is the responsibility,
and often the beat, to write obituaries for
prominent members of the community.
While it is surely sad when people who
have led outstanding lives die -- indeed,
it is sad when anyone dies -- this moment
represents a time to celebrate all of the
great things about that individual’s time
on the planet.
As your team continues to write about
other topics, you may want to encourage
your leadership to have someone regularly researching the elders in your industry to prep obituaries for them. Death is
a fact of life. When you approach it as a
part of life and a way to celebrate others,
you may be able to change your and
your co-workers’ attitudes.
Remind your team of the highlights
of these people’s experience, of how
they made it worthwhile to be alive -- not
only did they soar in their own right, they
inspired others to soar as well.
DEAR HARRIETTE: How can I -- a
single parent -- keep the attention of a
6-year-old while on summer vacation? I
give my son total freedom when it comes
to running around the house or playing in
the neighborhood because he is familiar
with his surroundings.
I am concerned that when we go on
vacation, he will think he has the same
liberties. Moreover, I think he might get
hurt or put himself in harm’s way. What
are some ways I can allow him to be
independent without me worrying every
time we go on vacation? -- Parent Trap,
West Orange, New Jersey
DEAR PARENT TRAP: The best
thing you can do is regularly take your
son to public activities where you train
him to stay by your side and teach him
the rules of the road. This includes how
to eat in a restaurant, how to use a public bathroom, the importance of staying
within your line of sight and anything else
that you think is important. Teach your
son when he can run free and when he
cannot. Come up with cues that help to
remind him of when he needs to rein in
his behavior.
This is a key part of parenting, and it’s
absolutely essential for your son’s safety.
At his age, your son requires very close
attention from you. On vacation, before
you get out of the car to participate in
an activity or leave your hotel room to
begin your day, remind your son of the
ground rules for the day. Give him cues
for emergencies and for paying attention,
and stay vigilant all day.
Democrats start convention in Philly
amid huge protests and high temps
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The
Democratic National Convention
gets underway in Philadelphia on
Monday with much bigger demonstrations than the Republican
convention and much higher
temperatures, as the region copes
with an oppressive heat wave.
In one of the largest rallies
planned for the day, a pro-Bernie Sanders group is expected
to walk across the Ben Franklin
Bridge, which connects Camden,
N.J., and Philadelphia.
The demonstrations, largely
driven by Sanders supporters,
have been peaceful, so far.
On Sunday, throngs of people
marched along a main thoroughfare of the city to show their support for Sanders and their disdain
for Hillary Clinton.
They chanted ‘‘Hell No, DNC,
we won’t vote for Hillary’’ and
‘‘This is what democracy looks
like.’’
Though planned for months,
the marches came as fractures
appeared in the party that had
been trying to display a show of
unity in recent weeks. Debbie
Wasserman Schultz resigned
Sunday as Democratic Party chair
over an email suggesting the DNC
had played favorites for Clinton
during the primary.
The Democrats had been trying to avoid the divide that was
apparent in Cleveland during the
Republican National Convention
last week. But the hacked emails,
published by Wikileaks, further
fired up Sanders supporters, who
long accused the party of favoring Clinton despite officially being
neutral.
Sanders
had
called
for
Wasserman Schultz’s resignation,
and said Sunday night she made
the right decision for the party’s
future by resigning.
Darcy Samek, 54, traveled
alone from Minneapolis to protest
through the four-day convention.
She said Wasserman Schultz has
been a ‘‘miserable failure’’ who
needed to be gone.
‘‘Everyone kind of knew (the
Democratic party was against
Bernie Sanders), but that doesn’t
mean it will change now that
it’s proven. It’s just more of the
same,’’ she said.
Philadelphia police called
Sunday’s protests, peaceful, and
said they were pleased with how
things were going, so far.
Earlier in the day, thousands of clean energy activists
jammed a downtown street in
their mile-long march from City
Hall to Independence Hall, near
the Liberty Bell. They held antifracking and anti-pipeline signs,
some with illustrations like a
train surrounded by a fireball
and the words ‘‘No Exploding
Trains.’’ Others held ‘‘Bernie or
Bust’’ signs.
Sam Miller, 82, traveled from
Erie, Pennsylvania, to join the
march that stretched several
blocks and across a wide street
as temperatures in the city soared
into the mid-90s. He said he
was inspired because ‘‘fracking is
invading Mother Earth.’’
The heat wave is not going
away anytime soon. It will hit a
peak on Monday with temperatures in the city possibly reaching
100 degrees, but feeling like 108,
according to the National Weather
Service.
Officials said volunteers will be
handing out water to demonstrators all week.
Some of the largest protests
will start about 4 miles north of
the Wells Fargo Center in south
Philadelphia, where the convention is being held. Most protests
during the RNC were concentrated in a tight, 1.7-square mile
zone downtown. A heavy police
presence and fewer than expected
protesters helped keep the calm.
There were only about two dozen
arrests and no significant injuries.
More than 5,000 delegates are
among the 50,000 people set to
attend the four-day convention,
which is expected to culminate
with Clinton being named the
party’s official nominee for president.
How Hillary Clinton chose
Sen. Tim Kaine as her VP
MIAMI (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s search for a vice
president started with a commanding victory in
the New York primary and a special delivery in
a plastic Duane Reade bag. Three months later,
it ended with a phone call to a shipyard office,
where Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine was waiting.
From the start, Kaine was a front-runner to join
Clinton on the Democratic ticket. A senator, former Virginia governor and mayor of Richmond, he
hails from a top battleground
state and, as a fluent Spanish
speaker, could help in another:
Florida. Victories in both would
likely put the White House out
of the reach of Donald Trump
and his running mate, Indiana
Gov. Mike Pence.
But Clinton grew personally comfortable with Kaine as
they campaigned together in
recent weeks and discussed
the vice presidency. Clinton
ultimately concluded that she
had ‘‘unshakeable confidence Kaine
in Kaine’s readiness to do the
job,’’ according to a Clinton
aide familiar with her thinking. The aide spoke
on condition of anonymity to describe the private
deliberations over her selection.
Clinton was also drawn to Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack, the former Iowa governor who
remained in the running until the end. A person
close to the campaign, also speaking on condition
of anonymity to discuss the private deliberations,
said Clinton had a hard time not choosing her
longtime family friend and political loyalist.
As Clinton dealt with an up-and-down series
of primary contests against Sanders, her team
delved into several potential running mates,
scouring public information and ultimately asking a select few to provide detailed financial and
personal information, and consent to interviews.
One year later, Boy Scouts are faring
well after easing ban on gay adults
NEW YORK (AP) —
There were dire warnings for the Boy Scouts of
America a year ago when
the group’s leaders, under
intense pressure, voted to
end a long-standing blanket ban on participation by
openly gay adults. Several
of the biggest sponsors
of Scout units, including the Roman Catholic,
Mormon and Southern
Baptist churches, were
openly dismayed, raising the prospect of mass
defections.
Remarkably,
nearly 12 months after the
BSA National Executive
Board’s decision, the Boy
Scouts seem more robust
than they have in many
years. Youth membership
is on the verge of stabilizing after a prolonged
decline,
corporations
which halted donations
because of the ban have
resumed their support,
and the vast majority of
units affiliated with conservative religious denominations have remained
in the fold — still free
to exclude gay adults if
that’s in accordance with
their religious doctrine.
Catholic
Bishop
Robert
Guglielmone
of Charleston, South
Carolina, whose duties
include liaising with
the National Catholic
Committee on Scouting,
says he knows of no
instances
where
a
Catholic unit — there are
more than 7,500 — has
taken on an openly gay
adult leader since the
policy change. Gay sex
and same-sex marriage
are considered violations
of church teaching.
The Boy Scouts’ national leadership ‘‘has been
wonderfully supportive,’’
Guglielmone said.
Leaders of the Southern
Baptist Convention, the
largest Protestant denom-
ination in the U.S., were
unhappy with the BSA’s
easing of the ban on gay
adults, but did not call
on individual churches
to disaffiliate with troops
that they sponsored.
A year later, the number of Southern Baptist
churches that did cut ties
with Scouting is ‘‘in the
double digits,’’ far outnumbered by those who
continued their sponsorships, according to
Ted S. Spangenberg Jr.,
president of the executive
board of the Association
of Baptists for Scouting.
‘‘A few of the churches
that left are starting to
trickle back as the kneejerk reaction is over,’’
Spangenberg said. ‘‘We
kind of like the way it
looks — if you’re faithbased, it’s within your
right to select the adult
leaders who are going to
uphold the tenets of your
faith.’’

Authorities: Munich shooter planned attack for a year
MUNICH (AP) — The
teenager behind Friday’s
deadly shooting rampage
at a Munich mall had
planned his attack for a
year and chose his victims at random, investigators said Sunday.
Bavarian investigator
Robert Heimberger said
the shooter, an 18-yearold
German-Iranian
identified only as David
S., visited the site of a
previous school shooting in the German town
of Winnenden and took
photographs last year,
then set about planning
the attack in which he
killed nine and wounded
some three dozen others
before taking his own
life.
‘‘He had been planning this crime since last
summer,’’ Heimberger
told reporters.
He said there were
‘‘many more terabytes’’
of information to evaluate, and that the teenager’s brother and parents
were still not emotionally
up to being interrogated
by police.
There is so far no evidence that he knew any of
his victims, or that there
was any political motivation behind the attack,
said Thomas SteinkrausKoch, a spokesman for
the Munich prosecutors’
office.
The suspect received
both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric treatment last year to help
him deal with ‘‘fears of
contact with others,’’
Steinkraus-Koch added.
He
said
medication
had been found at his
home but that investigators needed to talk with
his family to determine
whether he had been
taking it.
In the aftermath of
the attack, Bavaria’s top
security official urged a
constitutional change
to allow the country’s
military to be able to be
deployed in support of
police during attacks.
Because
of
the
excesses of the Nazi era,
Germany’s
post-war
constitution only allows
the military, known as
the Bundeswehr, to be
deployed domestically in
cases of national emergency.

Griffey Jr., Piazza DDD Sports Scoreboard
plated in the Hall
By JOHN KEKIS
AP Sports Writer
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.
(AP) — Two players who
began their careers at
opposite ends of the spectrum nearly three decades
ago ended up in the same
place on Sunday — with
their names etched on
plaques at the Baseball
Hall of Fame.
For Ken Griffey Jr. and
Mike Piazza, the culmination of their long journeys
was tinged with tears all
around.
‘‘I stand up here humbled and overwhelmed,’’
Griffey said, staring out
at his family and tens of
thousands of fans. ‘‘I can’t
describe how it feels.’’
The two became a piece
of history on their special
day. Griffey, the first pick
of the 1987 amateur draft,
became the highest pick
ever inducted. Piazza, a
62nd-round pick the next
year —No. 1,390 — is the
lowest pick to enter the
Hall of Fame.
Griffey played 22 bigleague seasons with the
Mariners, Reds and White
Sox and was selected on
a record 99.32 percent of
ballots cast, an affirmation of sorts for his clean
performance during baseball’s so-called Steroids
Era.
A 13-time All-Star and
10-time Gold Glove Award
winner in center field,
Griffey hit 630 home runs,
sixth all-time, and drove
in 1,836 runs. He also
was the American League
MVP in 1997, drove in at
least 100 runs in eight
seasons, and won seven
Silver Slugger Awards.
Griffey, who fell just
three votes shy of being
the first unanimous selection, hit 417 of his 630
homers and won all 10
of his Gold Gloves with
the Seattle Mariners. He
played the first 11 seasons of his career with the
Mariners and led them to
the playoffs for the first
two times in franchise history.
‘‘Thirteen years with the
Seattle Mariners, from the
day I got drafted, Seattle,
Washington, has been a
big part of my life,’’ Griffey
said, punctuating the end
of his speech by putting a
baseball cap on backward
as he did throughout his
career.
‘‘I’m going to leave you
with one thing. In 22 years
I learned that one team
will treat you the best, and
that’s your first team. I’m
damn proud to be a Seattle
Mariner.’’
Dubbed ‘‘The Natural’’
for his effortless excellence at the plate and
in center field, Griffey
avoided the Hall of Fame
until his special weekend because he wanted
his first walk through
the front doors of the
stately building on Main
Street to be with his kids,
whom he singled out one
by one in his 20-minute
speech.
‘‘There are two mis-
Major League Baseball
conceptions about me —
I didn’t work hard and
everything I did I made
look easy,’’ Griffey said.
‘‘Just because I made it
look easy doesn’t mean
that it was. You don’t
become a Hall of Famer by
not working, but working
day in and day out.’’
Griffey’s mom, Birdie,
and his father, former
Cincinnati Reds star Ken
Sr., both cancer survivors
and integral to his rise to
stardom, were front and
center in the first row.
‘‘To my dad, who taught
me how to play this game
and to my mom, the
strongest woman I know,’’
Junior said. ‘‘To have to
be mom and dad, she was
our biggest fan and our
biggest critic. She’s the
only woman I know that
lives in one house and
runs five others.’’
Selected in the draft by
the Dodgers after Hall of
Fame manager Tommy
Lasorda, a close friend
of Piazza’a father, Vince,
put in a good word, Piazza
struggled.
He briefly quit the game
while in the minor leagues,
returned and persevered
despite a heavy workload
as he switched from first
base to catcher and teammates criticized his erratic
play.
Mom and dad were foremost on his mind, too.
‘‘Dad always dreamed
of playing in the major
leagues,’’ said Piazza, just
the second Hall of Famer
depicted on his plaque
wearing a Mets cap, after
Tom Seaver in 1992.
‘‘He could not follow
that dream because of the
realities of life. My father’s
faith in me, often greater
than my own, is the single
most important factor of
me being inducted into this
Hall of Fame. Thank you
dad. We made it, dad.’’
Piazza played 16 years
with the Dodgers, Marlins,
Mets, Padres and Athletics
and hit 427 home runs,
including a major league
record 396 as a catcher.
A 12-time All-Star, Piazza
won 10 Silver Slugger
Awards and finished in the
top five of his league’s MVP
voting four times.
Perhaps even more
impressive, Piazza, a .308
career hitter, posted six
seasons with at least 30
home runs, 100 RBIs and
a .300 batting average (all
other catchers in baseball
history combined have
posted nine such seasons).
Though the Dodgers
gave him his start, Piazza
found a home in New York
when he was traded to the
Mets in May 1998.
Three years later, he
became a hero to the hometown fans with perhaps the
most notable home run
of his career. His two-run
shot in the eighth inning
at Shea Stadium lifted the
Mets to a 3-2 victory over
the Atlanta Braves in the
first sporting event played
in New York after the 9/11
terror attacks.

Durant said after scoring 19 points at a packed
Staples Center during the
Americans’ 106-57 victory
over China in the second
stop of a five-game preOlympics showcase.
When told he had been
booed in pregame introductions, Durant seemed
surprised: ‘‘No, I didn’t
hear it. I did? Huh. I didn’t
hear it.’’
The Los Angeles fans
were gathered to cheer
for the Americans during an exhibition blowout, but some of them
couldn’t resist jabbing at
the newest member of the
Warriors and his two-team
teammate,
Draymond
Green. The Clippers fans
in the crowd supported
the red, white and blue —
but those colors represent

Rio housing problems keep Aussies out of Village
By STEPHEN WADE
AP Sports Writer
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)
— Australia’s Olympic
team leader is keeping the
delegation’s 700 athletes
or staff out of the Athletes
Village for at least two
days, citing electrical and
plumbing problems in the
sprawling complex less
than two weeks before the
start of the games in Rio
de Janeiro.
‘‘Electricity and water
is not a good combination,’’ Kitty Chiller told
reporters Sunday, when
the village was set to be
officially opened for athletes.
Chiller said this was
her fifth Olympics, and
she came down hard on
village preparations.
‘‘I have never experienced a village in this
state — or lack of state —
of readiness at this point
in time,’’ she said.
The 31-building village is expected to house
18,000 athletes and officials at the height of the
games. It was not clear
how many athletes were
housed in the village on
Sunday.
This is the latest prob-
lem for the games, which
have been hit by concern
about the Zika virus,
security threats, water
pollution and severe budget cuts.
Chiller and Australian
team spokesman Mike
Tancred described a wide
array of plumbing, electrical and cleaning issues at
the Village. Tancred said
10 of the 31 buildings
were determined to be
inhabitable.
‘‘We’re having plumbing
problems, we’ve got leaking pipes,’’ Tancred told
AP. ‘‘We’ve got electrical
problems. We’ve got cleaning problems. We’ve got
lighting problems in some
of the stairwells. We did a
stress test on Saturday,
turned on the taps and
flushed the toilets, and
water came flooding down
the walls.’’
Chiller listed the same
problems, and added
more.
‘‘There was a strong
smell of gas in some
apartments and there
was ‘shorting’ in the electrical wiring,’’ she said.
‘‘We have been living in
nearby hotels because the
village is simply not safe
Durant receives mixed reception in USA exhibition
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Even in a jersey with
‘‘USA’’ on the chest, Kevin
Durant got some boos at
Staples Center on Sunday
night.
He’ll probably need to
get used to that sound in
this building for the rest of
his basketball career.
When he suits up in
Oakland on Tuesday for
the first time since joining
the Golden State Warriors,
he’ll get another reception
entirely.
But no hate or love
from the stands is going to
deter Durant from trying
to win a gold medal or an
NBA title.
‘‘The crowd here tonight
was great, so hopefully it’s
just as good at Oracle,’’
.Y. Yankees (Sabathia 5-8) at HousN
ton (Fister 10-6), 8:10 p.m.
L.A. Angels (Skaggs 0-0) at Kansas
City (Gee 3-3), 8:15 p.m.

Dodgers (Norris 5-9), 10:10 p.m.
something else to them
for most of the year, and
they let their new nemesis
know it.
Golden State general
manager Bob Myers was in
attendance to see his newest signing’s performance
alongside Green and Klay
Thompson, who scored 17
points in another impressive exhibition victory for
the gold medal favorites.
Myers was surprised by
the boos, but only to a
point.
‘‘I think it’s Clipper fans,
because they cheered
DeAndre (Jordan),’’ Myers
said. ‘‘That’s just my
guess.’’
The Clippers have
a fierce rivalry with the
Warriors, but it seems
increasingly likely Durant
will be a magnet for boos
throughout the league
after spurning Oklahoma
City to chase a championship with Stephen Curry
in Oakland.
He’ll return to his new
home in the East Bay for
what’s likely to be a less
hostile reception before

Durant isn’t taking
anything for granted. He is
just beginning to grasp the
enormity of his move in
the eyes of fans and opponents. The gifted scorer
and former MVP has been
widely popular around
the game for most of his

this month has made him
a target of jealousy, frustration and even derision
— and not even a Team
USA jersey can deflect it.

six
Australian athletes due

other accommodation.
She said she hopes they
can move into the village
quickly, and sounded
encouraged.
‘‘I am reasonably confident that we will be

She described other

among the best.
‘‘This is one of the most
beautiful villages I’ve ever

Several teams are hiring tradesmen to fix the
problems, and some may
look for compensation
from organizers.

repairs for days.
‘‘Among these unfinished areas are also a
few apartments in block

Cabrera caps Sox comeback over Tigers; Sale suspended
CHICAGO
(AP)
—
Melky Cabrera drove in
Adam Eaton with a gameending single in the ninth
inning after closer David
Robertson gave up three
home runs in the top half
to lead the Chicago White
Sox to a 5-4 victory over
the Detroit Tigers hours
after they suspended ace
Chris Sale for five days on
Sunday.
The White Sox beat the
Tigers 4-3 earlier in the
day on a single by Eaton
in the ninth after play was
suspended because of rain
the previous night.
Robertson (2-2) got the
win in that one and picked
up another victory in the
scheduled game despite a
rough ninth inning.
The big news Sunday
was Sale getting suspended and fined one day after
he was scratched from his
scheduled start and sent
home. The punishment
was handed down after he
destroyed collared throwback uniforms the team
was scheduled to wear in
this game.
Justin Wilson (2-3) got
the loss in the suspended
game, and Bruce Rondon
(3-2) lost the scheduled
one.

Ryan Buchter (2-0)
pitched a scoreless eighth
to earn the victory.
With the game tied at
6, Wil Myers drew a oneout walk off Papelbon and
moved to second on a wild
pitch before Yangervis
Solarte’s RBI single. The
Padres added two more
singles to load the bases,
setting up Alexei Ramirez’s
three-run double.
Nationals
manager
Dusty Baker then relieved
Papelbon (2-3), who was

first runs since June 12.
Papelbon had made seven

Cody Allen (2-4) began
the ninth by striking out
Alvarez, but the ball eluded catcher Roberto Perez.
After fielding the bouncing ball off the backstop,
Perez hit Alvarez in the
helmet with the throw for
an error.
A sacrifice bunt and a
strikeout followed before
Reimold lined a 2-0 pitch

NEW YORK (AP) —
Nathan Eovaldi pitched

to keep management from
selling off players ahead
of the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
Making his second
start following a brief bullpen banishment, Eovaldi
(9-6) carried a five-hitter
into the seventh. Chad
Green, brought back from
Triple-A last week, pitched
2 1/3 innings for his first

Busch overshadows Stewart farewell, Gordon comeback
By MICHAEL MAROT
AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS
(AP)
— Kyle Busch heard all
about the potential to
pull off a historic sweep
at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway.
On Sunday, he accomplished the feat.
Busch led a record
149 of 170 laps and beat
teammate Matt Kenseth
to the finish line in a second overtime to win his
second straight Brickyard
400. Coupled with an
Xfinity Series victory a
day earlier, Busch became
the first NASCAR driver to
win both poles and both
races on the same weekend.
‘‘I’ve never had a dominant car like this,’’ Busch
said after celebrating his
fourth win of the season
with his wife and son.
‘‘This is obviously a special day and a special
car.’’
The impressive feat
even overshadowed two
other major story lines —
Jeff Gordon’s comeback
and Tony Stewart’s farewell.
Stewart
finished
11th in his final race
at Indianapolis, while
Gordon was 13th. Gordon
came out of retirement to
replace Dale Earnhardt
Jr., who has battled concussion-like symptoms
and has missed two consecutive races and will
also sit out next week
at Pocono. Gordon will
replace him there, as
well.
Afterward the two
drivers who grew up in
Indiana drove side-byside around the 2.5-mile
oval one last time.
‘‘I have gained so much
respect and admiration
for Tony,’’ Gordon said.
‘‘I love this guy. I have
always respected his talent.’’
Everybody respected
Busch’s talent this weekend, too.
The reigning Sprint
Cup Series champion,
who used last year’s win
at the Brickyard to jumpstart his title campaign,
joined third-place finisher
Jimmie Johnson as the
only back-to-back winners of NASCAR’s race
at Indy. Johnson won in
2008 and 2009.
Busch surrendered the
lead for 14 laps after his
first pit stop, regained it
when Brad Keselowski
pitted, then gave it up
again for only five laps
when he made his second
pit stop.
Everyone else spent
their day chasing Busch.
The Joe Gibbs Racing
Toyota was so strong that
Roger Penske’s drivers
started with a strategy of
trying stretch their runs
long enough to make one
fewer pit stop. It didn’t
work — Joey Logano
finished seventh and
Keselowski wound up
17th.
The only real challenge
for Busch came with a
series of late crashes that
delayed his inevitable trip
to victory lane.
The crashes began
when Carl Edwards’ car
wiggled in the first turn on
a restart with seven laps
to go. His car slid up the
track, hitting Keselowski,
as well as Ryan Blaney,
Ryan
Newman
and
Danica Patrick. The wreck
brought out a red flag for
almost eight minutes.
On the ensuing restart,
with three to go, Busch
again pulled away only to
have a collision between
Trevor Bayne and Clint
Bowyer behind him to
send the race into first
overtime.
It happened again
when Jamie McMurray
slid through the first turn
and into the wall on the
next restart, but Busch
pulled away one more
time for a historic win in
a race that actually took
425 miles.
‘‘I certainly didn’t want
one, let alone five (overtimes) or however many
there were,’’ Busch said.
‘‘We just wanted the race
to go green till the end.
We had a really good longrun car till the end, so I
felt like we’d be able to
hold off all those guys
behind us and then we
had all those restarts.’’
WHO’S
HOT: Joe
Gibbs Racing and Toyota.
The team had three cars
finish in the top five and
heads to Pocono with
back-to-back victories.
Toyota, meanwhile, had
three of its cars place in
the top four.
WHO’S NOT: Hendrick
Motorsports. Yes, Johnson
ended a four-race streak
with no top-threes but
nobody else finished in
the top 10 and none of
the four cars was even in
contention for the lead.
TOUGH WEEK: Greg
Biffle wanted this weekend to be a tribute for
his late father, who died
Tuesday. Instead, Biffle’s
day ended early after he
crashed on Lap 52.
Nathan adds depth to Cubs’
pen; Chicago nips Brewers
By GENARO C. ARMAS
AP Sports Writer
MILWAUKEE
(AP)
— Entering his first
big league game in 16
months, Joe Nathan felt
his heart racing while
doing a full sprint to the
mound.
Nathan has 377 career
saves, and yet Sunday
still felt like opening day
all over again for the
41-year-old reliever.
Anthony Rizzo’s threerun double in the seventh inning helped the
Chicago Cubs overcome
a four-run deficit and
made a winner of Nathan
in a 6-5 victory over the
Milwaukee Brewers.
‘‘It was opening day for
me today, and the adrenaline was ... through the
roof. It was almost too
much,’’ Nathan said. ‘‘I
almost needed a defibrillator for the run into the
mound.’’
The six-time All-Star
joined a club with World
Series aspirations hoping
to shore up its bullpen.
The heart of the order
finally came up with hits
after the Cubs struggled
with runners in scoring
position against Brewers
starter Junior Guerra.
That changed after
Will Smith took over for
Guerra with one out in
the seventh.
Tommy La Stella, who
went 3 for 3, had an RBI
double before Smith (1-3)
walked Kris Bryant to
load the bases for thirdplace hitter Rizzo. He hit
a 2-2 slider down in the
zone into right-center to
clear the bases and give
Chicago a 5-4 lead.
Ben Zobrist’s RBI single scored Rizzo in the
seventh and gave the
Cubs a needed insurance
run after closer Hector
Rondon gave up a homer
to Kirk Nieuwenhuis with
two outs in the ninth to
draw Milwaukee within a
run.
Rondon struck out
Jake Elmore looking for
his 18th save.
‘‘It was a complete victory. Rizzo had a couple
tough at-bats but got a
really big hit,’’ manager
Joe Maddon said.
It completed a successful comeback from
Tommy John surgery for
Nathan, pitching in his
first game in the majors
since April 2015. He was
activated off the 60-day
disabled
list
earlier
Sunday.
Cubs pitchers labored
for much of the afternoon, with starter Jon
Lester struggling through
four innings, allowing
four hits and walking
five.
Nathan gave up a
leadoff triple to Jonathan
Villar in the sixth and
a walk before striking
out 3-4-5 hitters Ryan
Braun, Jonathan Lucroy
and Chris Carter.
‘‘Certainly a lot of
moments in the game.
We had some opportunities to add on runs
in general, just to score
runs and we didn’t capture those opportunities,’’ Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said.
BRINGING
THE
HEAT
The Brewers left the
retractable roof at Miller
Park open on a sticky
afternoon,
with
the
game-time temperature
at 90 degrees. The contest lasted more than
four hours.
‘‘It was without a
doubt the hottest game
of the year, and it was
one of the longer games,
so guys were tired, for
sure,’’ Counsell said.

Russia to remain in 2016 Rio Olympics
By GRAHAM DUNBAR
and STEPHEN WILSON
AP Sports Writer
L A U S A N N E ,
Switzerland
(AP)
—
Rejecting calls by anti-doping officials for a complete
ban on Russia, Olympic
leaders on Sunday gave
individual sports federations the task of deciding
which athletes should be
cleared to compete in next
month’s Rio de Janeiro
Games.
Citing the need to protect the rights of individual
athletes, the International
Olympic
Committee
decided against taking
the unprecedented step of
excluding Russia’s entire
team over allegations of
state-sponsored doping.
Instead, the IOC left it
to 27 international sports
federations to make the
call on a case-by-case
basis.
‘‘Every human being
is entitled to individual
justice,’’ IOC President
Thomas Bach said after
the ruling of his 15-member executive board.
Bach said the IOC had
decided instead on a set of
‘‘very tough criteria’’ that
could dent Russia’s overall contingent and medal
hopes in Rio, where the
Olympics will open on
Aug. 5.
Under the measures,
no Russian athletes who
have ever had a doping
violation will be allowed
into the games, whether
or not they have served a
sanction, a rule that has
not applied to athletes in
other countries.
In addition, the international sports federations were ordered to
check each Russian athlete’s drug-testing record,
with only doping controls conducted outside
Russia counting toward
eligibility, before authorizing them to compete.
Final entry is contingent
on approval from an independent sports arbitrator.
The IOC decision was
sharply
criticized
by antidoping
bodies
as a sellout that
underm i n e s
clean athletes and
destr oys
the idea
of a level
playing
field.
Wo r l d
A n t i Doping
Agency
President Craig Reedie
said the organization is
‘‘disappointed that the
IOC did not heed WADA’s
executive committee recommendations’’
after
investigators ‘‘exposed,
beyond a reasonable
doubt, a state-run doping
program in Russia that
seriously undermines the
principles of clean sport.’’
Joseph de Pencier,
chief executive of the

59-member
Institute
of National Anti-Doping
Organisations, said the
IOC ‘‘failed to confront
forcefully the findings of
evidence of state-sponsored doping in Russia
corrupting the Russian
sport system,’’ describing
it as ‘‘a sad day for clean
sport.’’
U.S.
Anti-Doping
Agency CEO Travis Tygart
said the ‘‘IOC has refused
to take decisive leadership’’ in a most important
moment for
the integrity of the
Olympic
Games and
clean athletes.
‘‘The decision regarding Russian
participation and the
confusing
mess
left
in its wake
is a significant blow to
the rights of
clean athletes,’’ Tygart
said.
Russia’s track and
field athletes were already
banned by the IAAF, the
sport’s governing body,
in a decision that was
upheld by the Court of
Arbitration for Sport. The
IOC accepted that ruling,
but would not extend it to
other sports.
Russia’s current overall team consists of 387
athletes, a number likely
to be significantly reduced
by the measure barring
Russians who have previously served doping
bans.
Calls for a complete
ban on Russia intensified
after Richard McLaren, a
Canadian lawyer commissioned by WADA, issued a
report accusing Russia’s
sports ministry of overseeing a vast doping program
of its Olympic athletes.
McLaren’s investigation, based heavily on
evidence from former
Moscow doping lab director Grigory Rodchenkov,
affirmed allegations of
brazen manipulation of
Russian urine samples at
the 2014 Winter Games
in Sochi, but also found
that state-backed doping
had involved 28 summer
and winter sports from
2011 to 2015.
‘‘An athlete should not
suffer and should not be
sanctioned for a system in
which he was not implicated,’’ Bach told reporters after Sunday’s meeting, acknowledging the
decision ‘‘might not please
everybody.’’
‘‘This is not about
expectations,’’ he said.
‘‘This is about doing justice to clean athletes all
over the world.’’
Asked whether the IOC
was being soft on Russia,
Bach said: ‘‘Read the decision. ... You can see how
high we set the bar. This
is not the end of the story
but a preliminary decision
that concerns Rio 2016.’’
