Officials seek cause for big fire

Man faces 4 charges of molestation BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

THE HERALD REPUBLICAN

FORT WAYNE — The city of Fort Wayne leads the nation for the highest single-day average price hike for a gallon of gas this year, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. Using an average of the three biggest single day price hikes, GasBuddy found that Fort Wayne’s was 34 cents, followed by Indianapolis at 32 cents and Dayton at 31 cents. “While major markets like LA, NY and Chicago get much of the attention and criticism, they’re not even in the top 20 among cities that see the steepest price hikes,� said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. He emphasized that the figures represent the average of the three highest single-day price spikes and that Midwesterners have seen 30+ cent increases often enough to know they’re not a statistical anomaly.

DETROIT (AP) — He was the master of his genre, the Dickens of Detroit, the Chaucer of Crime. Pretty much every novel Elmore Leonard wrote from the mid-1980s Leonard on was a best-seller, and every fan of crime stories knew his name. George Clooney was an admirer. So were Quentin Tarantino, Saul Bellow and Stephen King and millions of ordinary readers. Leonard, who died Tuesday at age 87, helped achieve for crime writing what King did for horror and Ray Bradbury for science fiction. He made it hip, and he made it respectable. When the public flocked to watch John Travolta in the movie version of “Get Shorty” in 1995, its author became the darling of Hollywood’s hottest young directors. Book critics and literary stars, prone to

School grade system blasted South Bend district protests state’s program

SOUTH BEND (AP) — Leaders of another large Indiana school district have called for replacing the state’s A-F grading system for schools. The South Bend school board voted unanimously Monday in favor of a resolution protesting how the grades are calculated. The vote comes after The Associated Press published emails showing former state schools superintendent Tony Bennett oversaw changes to the grading formula last year to ensure a Republican campaign donor’s charter school received an A grade. South Bend schools superintendent Carole Schmidt said the 19,000student district can’t opt out of the grading system but can draw attention to its flaws of not considering factors such as poverty, special needs or English proficiency, the South Bend Tribune and WNDU-TV reported. “It doesn’t involve multiple measures over time which is something we want to see, some type of triangudismissing crime novels lated data about how schools as light entertainment, are doing,” Schmidt said. competed for adjectives The Fort Wayne school to praise him.

Red Cross: Be prepared September is National Preparedness Month, and the American Red Cross encourages individuals to take action to plan and prepare for an emergency and to donate blood. “Disasters can strike at any time and being prepared is a family’s and an individual’s best defense,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO for Indiana-Ohio Region and Western Lake Erie Region Blood Services. “Supporting Red Cross

blood donation or giving blood is also critical to community preparedness since hospitals need blood to respond to patient need,” Whitman said. “The blood used in an emergency is already on the shelves before the event occurs.” The Red Cross recommends three simple actions to prepare for weather-related disaster events and emergencies such as a house fire: get a kit, make a plan and be

informed. “Everyone needs to have a plan; waiting until disaster strikes is too late,” Whitman added. All blood types are needed daily, but type O negative, as the universal blood type, is frequently in high demand. More information including smart phone apps, tools and a family disaster plan template are available at the Red Cross website at redcross.org/prepare/nation alpreparednessmonth.

Van Wagner hosted a breakfast for the class along with plenty of time for conversation. Another reunion is being planned to occur in two years.

project. Once complete, the plaster busts are distributed to local artists to create unique, inspiring representations of the female bust and the emotions associated with cancer. The artists modify the casts, using various artistic mediums, transforming them into outstanding works of art. Twenty pieces of art will be auctioned at this event. “Over the years, we’ve had some stunning pieces created for this event,” says Amber Recker, founder of the Bust a Move event and Director of Marketing & Development for Cancer Services. “In 2012, we shattered our record with one piece selling for over $8,500.” “We are continually

amazed by the creativity of the artists involved in this project,” says Dianne May, president and CEO of Cancer Services. “We could not do this event without their dedication, and we appreciate their willingness to support it every year.” The event also has a profound impact on the survivors involved. The casting process has been therapeutic for many as they share their story and celebrate survivorship. When the artwork is revealed at the event and they see their bust for the first time, the survivors often are astounded. Every story of survivorship is beautiful and this event allows them to celebrate that.

Tickets are available at Cancer Services, 6316 Mutual Drive, or online: https://bustamove2013. eventbrite.com/ Cancer Services’ mission is to enhance the quality of life of those affected by cancer by providing meaningful resources, information and compassionate assistance. Last year, more than 2,600 local people with cancer and their families received emotional support and practical resources for their cancer journey.

MERLIN: Birder privileged to be part of discovery FROM PAGE A1

Partly cloudy skies today with a high temperature reaching 87 degrees. Tonight’s low will be 65. Possibility of rain showers Thursday. Daytime high will be 87 and overnight lows will be in the mid-60s. Friday will be sunny with daytime temperatures in the low 80s. Low of 58 expected.

I saw what wasn’t a kestrel at all but a Merlin. A Merlin in Indiana in August; not likely. These are birds of the north,” he said. “Upon returning home I examined the photos on the computer to find that the bird was indeed a Merlin.” Zilch photographed the Merlin, formally called pigeon hawk, in some conifers near the comfort station at the Pokagon State Park south beach parking lot. He returned and photographed two on Friday, documenting the presence of at least one juvenile bird. “Today (Monday), Fred and Martha Zilch returned and observed two Merlins and showed them to about 25 people, birders and non-birders alike. A cross-country running team from Manchester College lined up behind the spotting scope and oooed and ahhed at the birds high atop a Norway spruce,” Wooley said. “This was a great find! I was privileged to be part of it,” Zilch said. As is often the case with a rare bird sighting, the Merlins are attracting attention from birders. Later Monday morning, John and Kathy Kendall, from western Indiana arrived and spent the better part of the afternoon observing and photographing the birds. “John is active in Indiana Audubon, serving as editor of their quarterly journal. I was able to join them for some time and we feel confident of seeing three birds, including one adult (likely female) and two juveniles. One juvenile was brought and consumed a tufted titmouse,” Wooley said. Birds are the typical diet of Merlins, Cornell’s website says. The bird is about 10 to 12

EGYPT: Obama opts against any swift reaction FROM PAGE A1

In canceling the military exercises, President Barack Obama said that America’s traditional cooperation with Egypt “cannot continue as usual” while violence and instability deepen. The administration now is deciding what it wants U.S. engagement in Egypt to look like and what, if any, aid, should be cut. Congress, meanwhile, appears split on whether to suspend the aid, with some saying that would deprive Washington of leverage over those in power in Cairo. So far, Obama has opted against any swift reaction, insisting it would not serve U.S. national interests to suddenly eliminate funding for operations that cover everything from fighting al-Qaida in the heart of the Middle East and safeguarding the stability of the Suez Canal to halting weapons flow to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and ensuring Israel’s security. For weeks the administration has said it won’t characterize the military’s takeover of the Egyptian government as a coup

Muslim Brotherhood as beleaguered as top leader CAIRO (AP) — The Muslim Brotherhood’s top leader looked somber and fatigued after his arrest Tuesday, his demeanor mirroring the Islamist movement’s predicament following its stunning fall from power and a deadly government crackdown. The Brotherhood’s decision to play hardball after the military’s ouster of Egypt’s Islamist president has backfired, leaving it embroiled in a crisis and looking at unattractive choices: Aligning with hard-line groups in an insurgency that almost certainly will fail or going underground in the hope of resurfacing one day. Regardless of which path it chooses, the Brotherhood’s grim future will impact Islamic groups across the Middle East and beyond. The Egyptian organization is something of a “mother ship” that has inspired their creation and provided a role model of the political Islam they want to prevail. d’etat.’ Such a determination would not only make it appear that the U.S. was taking sides in the internal conflict, but it also would, under U.S. law, trigger an automatic suspension of most aid programs. However, while the administration has not declared Egypt’s military takeover a coup, officials are essentially treating it as such internally and

inches tall with a wingspan between approximately 21 and 27 inches. It weighs about a half pound. The Merlin does not build a nest; it takes over old nests of other raptors or crows, Cornell says. Unlike bald eagles, which a few decades ago had faced extinction in the United States, the Merlin is plentiful and there’s no concern of its existence being threatened. What makes it rare locally is that it typically nests hundreds of miles from Steuben County. According to Cornell, nesting of the Merlin is mainly in Canada, with some nesting in extreme northern reaches of Minnesota and states west to the Pacific Ocean. Cornell’s website says the bird’s range is expanding, and John Castrale, an Indiana Department of Natural Resources bird of prey expert, told Wooley that while the news was exciting, it was expected the bird eventually would end up in Indiana as its nesting range expands south. Pokagon officials are not making a secret about the birds’ location, but they are asking that, like the eagles, people do nothing to interfere with the birds’ normal activity. “We ask that no artificial recordings be used to draw in the birds, which might disturb their normal feeding routines,” Wooley said. With some patience, people can view the birds in the coniferous area near the south beach parking lot. “It consists of three large parking bays, separated by two grassy islands featuring large conifers (Norway spruce) and a couple of deciduous trees. Large spruce and red pines are also scattered around all sides of the parking lot,” Wooley said. “Most all of the Merlin activity has been in the

TAMARA MILLER

People have been in awe when they see the immature bald eagles, like this one, that were born in Pokagon State Park this spring. Another rare raptor, the Merlin, is believed to have nested in the park, too, making it a truly rare year for watching birds of prey in the park. Officials estimate it has been more than 100 years since eagles nested in Steuben County. It is believed that Merlins have never nested in Indiana.

conifers in, and surrounding, the parking lot. An actual nest has not been found.” It is expected that the birds nested in the conifers. “Viewers can find plenty of parking in the lot and obviously there are other people recreating in the area. (The Merlins) have been fairly consistent in the area and with some patience, can be seen and heard,” Wooley said. AN EARLY VERSION of this story was posted on kpcnews.com at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday.

are reviewing aid under the guidelines that govern such a determination, a U.S. official said. Stopping short of making a formal declaration gives the U.S. flexibility in what aid it might cut off, the official said. It also would make it easier to reinstate aid later. The official spoke only on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the situation publicly.

FREMONT — The Fremont Town Council is aiming to put a new identifying sign on S.R. 120, just west of town designating the industrial park. Fremont Town Manager Chris Snyder told the council Tuesday that a sign is needed there to help trucks locate the industrial park. Recently, a truck was unable to locate the park and in driving around town looking for it, accidentally

snagged a few telephone poles, Snyder said. “We’ve been talking about doing a better job,” Snyder said about the sign, which is needed along a major truck route. The sticking point, he said, is a sign must go in the town’s right-of-way. “Some of our industrial people have asked for it for their trucks.” Snyder said a few times a day, trucks get confused in driving around Fremont trying to find their destination of the industrial park. Snyder said he received two bids on the sign, but they weren’t fair comparisons considering one was for a vinyl sign and the other for sand blasting. The council approved spending no more than $5,800 for the sign. Snyder said he will work with the two bidders so as they may present bids fairly according to specifications. In other business, the council: • learned the town’s comprehensive plan is nearing completion and will be introduced to the public on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 10 a.m. at the Fremont Public Library.

Briefly • ChiSox blank Royals KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — John Danks shut down Kansas City’s scuffling offense for eight innings, and the Chicago White Sox did just enough damage against Ervin Santana to squeak out a 2-0 victory over the Royals on Tuesday night. Danks (3-10) ended an eight-start winless streak by scattering seven hits and a walk. That the veteran left-hander’s finest start of the season came against the Royals wasn’t much of a surprise: Danks improved to 5-0 against them in 13 career starts. Addison Reed worked around a leadoff single in the ninth for his 32nd save. It wrapped up the first shutout win for the last-place White Sox since a 3-0 victory against the Los Angeles Angels on May 17.

Hornets notch soccer sweep ANGOLA — Angola High School’s soccer teams opened their seasons with new coaches in place and with victories. The Hornet girls started the doubleheader by defeating Wayne 7-4 to give former assistant coach Jen Sharkey her first win as Angola’s head coach. Then the Hornet boys beat Woodlan 5-3 in Dusan Friga’s AHS coaching debut. Friga, who most recently has been a coach with the Rangers Academy in Auburn, had his hiring accepted by the Metropolitan School District of Steuben County board of education at its meeting Tuesday night. In the first match, Angola’s girls won their first match since Oct. 1, 2011, and snapped a losing streak at 15 matches. They went 0-14 last season. The Hornets had two newcomers score hat tricks to lead the way. Junior Nicole Silverhart and freshman Savannah Burkhardt each had three goals. Silverhart is a move-in from Toledo, Ohio. Riley Peppler also scored for Angola. Alyssa Buell and Indara McMillen shared time in goal.

In the boys’ nightcap, the Hornets dominated play in the first 30 minutes, but found themselves down 2-0. After making many substititutions, Angola had goals to back up their play and turn the match around. It scored three goals over the final 10 minutes of the first half and led 3-2 at halftime. Sophomore Jonathan Williams had a hat trick, scoring the Hornets’ final three goals. Freshman Cesar Cruz had a goal on a penalty kick with three assists. Freshman Rigoberto Romero scored Angola’s first goal. Hayden Cowen made eight saves in goal for the Hornets. “Defensive duties played a huge role in the win as Woodlan had several dangerous players that helped them gain the early lead,” Friga said. “Seniors Kent Kohart, Spencer Stites, and Tyler Kennedy solidified the defensive line. “Overall, the team performance was exceptional with every player getting into the game and contributing.” Kennedy and sophomore Rhees Nickel each added an assist.

Eagles beat Snider

ANGOLA — Fremont’s girls golf team won 207-247 over Snider Tuesday afternoon on the front nine at Lake James Golf Club in a nonconference match. The Eagles are 2-0 in dual matches on this young season. “The team score keeps going down,” Eagles coach Eric Wirick said. Senior Alivia Behnfeldt earned medalist honors with a 45 to lead Fremont. The Eagles also had 52s from freshmen Raigan Porath and Katie Sidwell and a 58 from freshman Karli Forte. “That was a good score for Katie,” Wirick said. Madison Parks had 55 for the Panthers. Fremont will host a non-conference three-team match with Elkhart Memorial and NECC rival Fairfield on Thursday, then will play in the New Haven Bulldog Invitational on Saturday at Whispering Creek. That will prep the Eagles for a key NECC match with Angola Monday at Zollner.

DETROIT (AP) — Justin Morneau had a season high four hits, including a two-run homer and a two-run double, and Glen Perkins struck out Miguel Cabrera with two on for the final out to help the Minnesota Twins hold off the Detroit Tigers in a 6-3 win Tuesday night. Mike Pelfrey (5-10) gave up three runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings. Jared Burton got out of a two-on, one-out jam in the eighth, and Perkins finished for his 29th save in 32 chances — barely. Detroit catcher Brayan Pena led off the ninth with a single and appeared to hurt his right leg running to first base before he was replaced by Bryan Holaday. After walking Austin Jackson with two outs, Cabrera came to the plate. The fans that stuck around rose to their feet only to go home disappointed when the reigning AL MVP swung and missed on a third strike. Rick Porcello (9-7) allowed five runs and seven hits over 4 1-3 innings for Detroit. The Twins were without All-Star Joe Mauer, who was scratched from his start at first when he experienced dizziness during batting practice. Minnesota might end the season without

Morneau, who can be traded by the end of the month because he cleared waivers. Manager Ron Gardenhire said before the game he would love for Morneau to finish his career with the franchise, adding the decision isn’t up to him. Gardenhire also said before the game he didn’t plan to put Mauer behind the plate during the series, insisting the decision had nothing to do with Mauer’s mask getting hit by a lot of baseballs when he played catcher Monday against the New York Mets. A couple hours later, Mauer was taken out of the lineup. The Twins put Morneau, who is in the final year of his contract, on revocable waivers last week and he wasn’t claimed. He was drafted by Minnesota in 1999 and has been a cornerstone of the team for a decade. Prince Fielder hit his 20th homer to get the Tigers within two runs in the fourth inning, but they allowed Minnesota to build its lead in each of the next two innings. Phil Coke pitched in relief of Porcello and Morneau sent his first pitch into the right-field gap to put Minnesota up 5-1 in the fifth inning. Pedro Florimon hit a solo homer off Jeremy Bonderman in the sixth, giving the Twins a five-run lead.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts spent big money to protect their multimillion dollar investment, Andrew Luck. So when Buffalo’s Mario Williams got a clean shot on Indy’s franchise quarterback on the fifth pass play of the preseason, left tackle Anthony Castonzo, like just about everyone else, was upset. “He said, ‘Do you want to get hurt, Andrew?’ ” Luck said, explaining the blown block was the result of a cadence error. “So I told him I’d publicly take that one on me. He’s in the clear for that.” Assessing blame isn’t the key issue in Indy’s locker room. Keeping Luck upright is, which is why the Colts made an enormous effort trying to revamp their offensive line. After watching the new franchise quarterback go down 41 times last season and hit dozens more times, team owner Jim Irsay, general manager Ryan Grigson and coach Chuck Pagano all came to the same conclusion: take better care of Luck.

Grigson, a former offensive lineman who now seemingly has a cellphone glued to his ear, wasted no time getting to work. His first move in free agency was signing 314-pound Gosder Cherilus, a tackle from Detroit who could reinforce the right side. A few hours later, he added former New England guard Donald Thomas, a 306-pound sometimes starter who could help inside. Six weeks later, Grigson used a third-round draft pick on guard Hugh Thornton and a fourth-rounder on center Khaled Holmes. So far the results have been mixed. Though Luck wasn’t sacked in Sunday’s 20-12 victory over New York, he was knocked to the ground several times, and once scrambled for a first down. Backups Matt Hasselbeck and Chandler Harnish have been duress in both games, too. “We’re a work in progress. It’s going to take more practice, more games, but we’re moving in the right direction,” Thomas said Tuesday.

Blazers counting on experience BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com

BUTLER — The 2013 Eastside Blazers will be counting on five experienced skilled-position players to lead the way as younger players work into their roles. Seniors Ty Lockhart, Kadis Renier and Tristan Sprunger and juniors P.J. Dean and Terry Nickolson will play key roles for a team that finished 6-5 last season, but the Blazers also graduated five All-Northeast Corner Conference performers. “We feel we have a great mix of experience, talent intelligence and speed,� said head coach Mike Eshbach, entering his sixth season at Eastside. “I am not sure we

are fast if you are timing us in a 40, but I think we are football fast.� Lockhart, an All-NECC and all-state selection at safety, was Eastside’s top receiver a year ago, catching 31 passes for 642 yards and seven touchdowns, to go with seven interceptions on defense. Dean was second in receiving, grabbing 26 passes for 524 yards and six touchdowns. He was also a threat on the ground, running for 360 yards and another score. Renier was the team’s leading rusher, carrying 68 times for 541 yards and six scores. He also caught 16 passes for 258 yards and four touchdowns.

Sprunger was a reliable receiver, catching 10 passes last year. Nickolson figures to play an expanded role in Eastside’s offense, Eshbach said. Those players will be counted upon to contribute on defense as well. Renier is a contender at strong safety, and Nickolson may play at a linebacker spot. Also returning is all-state kicker Kyle Franz, a senior, who made 38-of-40 extra points and 6-of-8 field goal tries. Contenders for linebacker positions include Nickolson (5-8, 170), sophomores Landen Brow (6-0, 200), Cory Franz (5-10, 170) and Trent Huff (6-0, 160) and junior Zach Carper (6-1,

170). Seniors Ryan Liechty (6-2, 205) and Javier Moreno (5-11, 185), juniors Zac Thiel (6-0, 195) and Kraig Whitman (5-10, 230) are among the candidates for defensive line positions. Brow, Carper, Liechty, Whitman, senior Don Davis (5-10, 190) and freshman Jacob Thompson (6-2, 215) are in the mix for offensive line positions. Cory Franz or freshman Conner Dove (6-0, 180) will take over at quarterback for the Blazers. Moreno could contribute at tight end. The Blazers graduated All-NECC performers at both positions. “We are still trying to understand what it takes to

be varsity football players and adjust to the speed of the game,� Eshbach said. “The best way to overcome lack of experience is to place kids in situations where they have to make quick decisions and react in a quick way. We are hoping to provide many different situations so that they are well acclimated to the speed of the game on Friday nights.� The Blazers have eight juniors and seven seniors on the roster. There are 10 sophomores and 17 freshmen on the 42-player roster. “We must stay healthy, our defense must be able to keep us in games, and we must maximize every possible scoring opportu-

nity,� Eshbach said. Setting the tone the first game is important. The Blazers open the season Friday at home against cross-county rival and future NECC opponent Garrett. “Our goal is to win the first game,� Eshbach said. “We must get that monkey off our back. From that point, I think we have proven to have a very dynamic offense that can score a lot of points. “Our main objective is to win the conference and make some noise in the playoffs,� he added. After the season-opener with Garrett, the Blazers jump right into league play with an Aug. 30 home game with West Noble.

Angola’s identity lies in trenches BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — In his first full offseason in Angola, second-year Hornet football coach Josh Schoeff worked to establish the identity of his team in his image. Better understanding and communication along with some adjustments and more players should help in achieving more success for AHS this season, which will begin at West Noble Friday night. “Intensity, understanding, everything across the board is tenfold compared to last year,� Schoeff said. “I have better knowledge of what our guys are capable of. I’ve seen how guys compete in other sports. More guys are ready to play now than we ever had at any point last season.� The Hornets (3-7 in 2012, including 3-5 in the Northeast Corner Conference) will be entrenched in what the NECC has been known for, running the football. They will run the veer option offense. That was Huntington North’s bread and butter when Schoeff was an assistant on Rief Gilg’s staff. Line play will be essential on both sides of the ball. Angola will be young and not overly big up front after graduating many important people, including Elijah Swager, Caleb Brown and Scott Harris. But Schoeff likes the potential of his linemen and also brought an experienced guy to coach them up. Former Angola head coach Rick Kirkton will coach the offensive and

defensive lines. “Our offensive line has skill, depth, size and strength,� Schoeff said. “To be a great veer option football team, you have to have quickness. We had success running the ball between the tackles in our scrimmage with New Haven Friday. “Our offensive line will be our MVPs for the season. The way they go is how our season will go. I want them to have chips on their shoulders. Being unnamed will work to their advantage.� Senior Trevor Lynch will see plenty of action at quarterback for his third varsity season. Junior Robby Honer has the skill set and the footwork fitting of a veer quarterback. Lynch completed 57-of-110 passes last season

for 702 yards and three touchdowns while throwing three interceptions. Lynch and Honer will want to get the ball in the hands of the Hornets’ biggest weapon, senior Austin Bauer. Bauer received KPC Media Group All-Area honors last season after rushing for 596 yards and catching passes for 503 yards with 12 touchdowns. He averaged 18 yards per reception and 8.2 yards per carry. Seven starters return on defense, led by senior linebacker Dylan Belcher (35 tackles, including 24 solos and two sacks, and six fumble recoveries in 2012). The secondary is pretty much intact with senior Nick Spears and junior Simon Gardner on the corners, senior Troy Zvirblis at free safety and Lynch at the other

safety spot. Seniors Stefon Whitaker and Dakota Steele are returning starters on the defensive line. Schoeff said the defense was the highlight of the scrimmage with a Bulldog team expected to be in the loaded upper half of the Northeast Hoosier Conference. “The defense showed us a lot. Guys were flying around playing with passion and energy,� Schoeff said. “We’re approaching the stage where are philosohpies and schemes are down to where we can play a little bit faster.� Angola’s numbers are up to 75 players from grades 9-12 compared to 62 last year. Schoeff and his coaching staff have been hitting the hallways looking for more players and even

picked up some key players from other Hornet teams. Some players who did not play football last year are taking on key roles this season. The offseason has been invaluable in the Hornets’ development. Schoeff noted that it lifted the status of sophomores Austin Holman and Jake Roddy. Holman will start at weakside linebacker Friday. Along with Kirkton, boys track coach Mike Winters and assistant boys basketball coach Tim Pearcy were added to the coaching staff. Winters has coached football at Angola Middle School recently after briefly being on the AHS staff. Pearcy, a former Trine University basketball forward, will coach AHS receivers and defensive backs.

“In the game of football, experience is everything,� Schoeff said. “Coach Kirkton has seen it all. Coach Winters coached at Marion and has wide knowledge of schemes and player development. He has helped our depth. Coach Pearcy connects real well with our players.� In their radical pursuit of excellence, Schoeff and the Hornets feel they can compete for an NECC championship. “We are trying to create a tremendous culture. We also attack the season asking the question ‘Why not us?,’� Schoeff said. “It will be a tremendous challenge. But we got some key pieces in places to be pretty stinkin’ good. If we hit our stride, we can be a very scary team to deal with.�

Inland Cat sailing reaching season’s end LAKE GEORGE — Lake George enjoyed a lot of sailboat racing action over the past three weekends, and it started on July 27 and 28 with the 56th annual Inland Cat Class Sailing Association Regatta. Two races were held on the morning of July 27 with 17 boats participating. The wind was light at 5 to 6 mph. Each two-lap race lasted about 40 minutes for the leading boat. Rick Ahaus of Richmond finished first in the first race of the morning, edging out both Jack Stiefel of Lake George and the 2012 defending champion Jim Larimore of Fishers. John Hendrickson of Chicago finished fourth. Not far behind were Fort Wayne residents Steve Kindler and Stan Parrish. By the second race of the morning, the wind had veered to the west, so the course was changed to a counter-clockwise two-lap triangle. Parrish led at the first mark and remained in the lead the rest of the race. Ahaus was nearly two minutes behind Parrish, finishing second. Stiefel was third. The fourth-, fifth- and sixth-place finishers were only seconds apart. Kirsten Meyer of Defiance, Ohio, was fourth, followed by Bill Kuebbeler of Indianapolis and Jeff Smith of Lake George. After lunch the skippers were at it again, but in very different wind conditions. The wind increased quickly as a squall passed over. The 18 to 22 mph winds produced catastrophic results. At the end of the second leg where a jibe was required, the boats of Stiefel and Kuebbeler capsized. Meyer also capsized later in the race, and two other skippers sailed for home to avoid a similar fate. Only 11 boats completed the race. They were led by Ahaus, who finished 15 seconds ahead of Larimore. Twenty seconds later, Chris Oler of Carmel finished third. One of the club’s younger skippers, Nathan Larimore of Plymouth, Mich., finished fourth, followed by Kindler and Smith. The skippers had lots to talk about at the evening pizza party. Ahaus, with two firsts and a second, was in first place overall after the first three races on July

27. But with two more races on July 28, he knew the standings could change. Final rankings would be determined by totaling each skipper’s best four finishes out of the five races. On a chilly morning of July 28, 13 of the sailors competed in two additional races in west wind averaging 8 to 12 mph with gusts up to 18 mph. Stiefel roared back to win both races. Jim Larimore and Chris Oler finished second and third, respectively, in both races. Ahaus had a sixth- and a fourth-place finish. In the afternoon, the skippers and their families enjoyed a lasagna dinner prior to the awarding of trophies to the top six competitors. Stiefel took the coveted first-place traveling trophy. Ahaus finished second overall with only one point separating him from Stiefel. Larimore was third and only one point behind Ahaus. Parrish was fourth with Oler fifth, and Smith sixth. In addition, Larimore received his keeper trophy from winning the regatta in 2012. That trophy is a hand-crafted acrylic trophy in the shape of a sail. The Most Improved Skipper plaque went to Alec Barile of Lake George. He improved six positions from his 2012 finish. The weekend concluded with the announcement of the silent auction bids. Auction items included plants and planters, bulbs, gardening items and gift certificates. Over $1,300 was raised to honor the memory of longtime ICCSA member Suzy Fulghum, who died in June. The fleet plans to donate the funds to the Lake George Conservancy to memorialize Fulghum. Smith, the ICCSA commodore, chaired the successful event with the help of past-commodore Dan Andrews and his wife Maizie. Many others also helped with important tasks. Oler was the race committee chair. Janie Paoletta was the auction chair. Barile and Denise Robinette made up the beverage committee. Meyer was in charge of decorating the building for the social events. Several members served on the safety patrol boats, including Tom and Jane Kearns, Stan and Anne Ferguson, Larry Loy, Lyle Reiff and Don

Bollheimer. On Aug. 3, Ahaus was first over the finish line for his third victory of the season. Stiefel, Ahaus’ nearest rival in season points, was not far behind in second place. Smith finished third. Sixteen boats participated on a modified triangle course with the starting line halfway up the windward leg. Barile was race chair for the day. The north wind varied both in velocity and direction throughout the race. It died almost completely in the two minutes prior to the race and most of the skippers were caught several yards behind the starting line. Kevin Ahaus of Richmond had a great start and led the first couple of legs, but then had equipment problems. He was able to fix his problems during the race and finished fifth. On Aug. 10, 12 sailors came out on Lake George for the ninth race of the Inland Cat season. Larimore was race chair and his committee set a lengthy, triangular two-lap course. But the wind dwindled as the race progressed, and Larimore shortened the course to one lap and one leg. Three boats wrestled for the top position with each leading at one point or another during the race. Rick Ahaus led the first leg, but was passed by both Stiefel and Reiff on the approach to the jibe mark. Stiefel was first around the next mark to complete the first lap Stiefel and Reiff sailed on the east side of the next leg while Ahaus sailed on the west side. Reiff managed to edge ahead of Stiefel about two-thirds of the way up the leg. Ahaus found some stronger, steady wind on the left side of the course and nearly caught Reiff at the finish line. Stiefel was third. Wally Leuenberger of Lake George was a close fourth. The sixth- through ninth-place finishers also had some great competition going throughout the race. On Saturday, 16 Inland Cat sailboats competed. Ahaus was the race chair and he set a two-lap modified Olympic course in wind that varied from 5 to 8 mph. The northeast wind challenged the skippers as it varied both in velocity and direction throughout the race.

Reiff was first over the finish line for the second week in a row. He and Kuebbeler battled for the lead throughout the race. Leuenberger and Stiefel were also in the top cluster of boats throughout the race. They finished third and fourth, respectively. The competition was also fierce among the boats that finished sixth through 11th with only a few boat lengths separating that group. Two boats had equipment problems, one resulting in a capsize, and were unable to finish. Kuebbeler is currently in second place for the season in the Gold Fleet. Smith, the fleet commodore leads the Gold Fleet. Ahaus and Stiefel are battling for first place in the Cup Fleet. The final race of the season will be on this coming Saturday. A party will follow where trophies and awards will be presented and officers will be elected for the coming year.

SPORTS BRIEFS • ’12 champ Serena Williams seeded No. 1 for U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams will be seeded No. 1 at the U.S. Open as she tries to do something she’s never done: win a second consecutive title at Flushing Meadows. Williams is a four-time champion at the U.S. Open, including in 2012. Only Chris Evert, with six, and Steffi Graf, with five, have won the tournament more times in the Open era, which began in 1968. The U.S. Tennis Association stuck to the WTA rankings Tuesday in announcing the 32 seeded women, including Victoria Azarenka at No. 2, and Maria Sharapova at No. 3. Williams is one of three seeded Americans; No. 16 Sloane Stephens and No. 24 Jamie Hampton are the others. Venus Williams, who won the U.S. Open in 2000 and 2001, is the only unseeded past champion.

Weeden named Browns’ starting quarterback BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns coach Rob Chudzinski named Brandon Weeden his starter for the Sept. 8 season opener against Miami. Weeden removed by completing 18 of 25 passes for 229 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in two preseason games. Weeden is just the fourth Browns quarterback — and first since Charlie Frye in 2007 — to open consecutive seasons as the starter. Tim Couch (2000-01) and Kelly Holcomb (02-03) are the others.

Dempster suspended 5 games for hitting A-Rod NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan Dempster of the Boston Red Sox was suspended for five games and fined by Major League Baseball for intentionally hitting Yankees star Alex Rodriguez with a pitch last weekend. The penalty was announced Tuesday by MLB senior vice president Joe Garagiola Jr., two days after Dempster hit A-Rod in the second inning at Fenway Park. Garagiola also fined Yankees manager Joe Girardi for arguing with plate umpire Brian O’Nora on Sunday night. Dempster’s fine was $2,500 and Girardi’s was $5,000, separate people familiar with the discipline told The Associated Press. Dempster could still play if he appeals the penalty. Boston has off days Thursday and Monday, allowing him to serve the suspension while getting pushed back only a couple days in the Red Sox rotation. Dempster threw one pitch behind A-Rod’s knees and two more inside in the second inning. Then his 3-0 pitch struck Rodriguez’s left elbow pad and ricocheted off his back. Girardi sprinted onto the field, screaming at plate umpire Brian O’Nora for not ejecting the pitcher. Girardi was tossed as the benches and bullpens emptied, and Rodriguez homered off Dempster to spark a sixth-inning rally that lifted New York to a 9-6 win. Earlier Tuesday, Girardi insisted it would be “open season” on Rodriguez if MLB failed to suspend Dempster. Rodriguez was suspended for 211 games on Aug. 5 for violating baseball’s drug and labor agreements but is playing while he appeals. Red Sox pitcher John Lackey criticized the rules last week for allowing A-Rod to play.

Eagles coach Kelly names Vick starting quarterback PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly named Michael Vick the starting quarterback on Tuesday, giving the veteran the nod over Nick Foles after a sterling effort in the preseason. Vick has been solid in two preseason games, and Foles, in his second season with the Eagles, has struggled to grasp Kelly’s multifaceted offense. Vick has thrown for 199 yards this preseason and will take a 113.2 quarterback rating into Friday’s game at Jacksonville (0-2). Foles has been sacked six times in two games, and has a quarterback rating of 65.5, after showing flashes as a rookie last season while Vick was injured. Vick played in just 10 games last season, while Foles topped 340 yards twice as a rookie. The Eagles (1-1) are coming off a 4-12 season, coach Andy’s Reid’s last, and haven’t made the playoffs since they won the NFC East at the end of the 2010 season. Behind Foles will be Matt Barkley, a rookie from Southern Cal. Vick had a breakout year under Reid in 2010, leading the Eagles to the division title, winning The Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award and starting in the Pro Bowl. But he’s battled injuries and inconsistency the last two years. Now 33, Vick sustained a concussion in Week 10 last year and Reid decided to let Foles play the rest of the way because the Eagles were in last place. Vick returned to start the season finale against the New York Giants because Foles was hurt. He finished the year with 2,362 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He lost five fumbles. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback agreed in February to a restructured three-year contract with the Eagles, just two seasons after signing a $100 million extension that included $35.5 million in guaranteed money. The new deal is essentially for one year, however.

Was this news fit to print? While still cutting my teeth on the tough shoe leather that is journalism, I was taught a simple axiom for determining newsworthiness: Dog bites man is not news. Man bites dog is news. It is the unexpected that is truly newsworthy. The more you don’t expect it, the bigger the news probably is. That’s why I was particularly surprised when The Associated Press wrote a story about former Gov. Mitch Daniels’ 2010 MATT attempts to keep a textbook by liberal historian Howard GETTS Zinn out of Indiana classrooms. Instead, Daniels wanted to use a textbook written by former Reagan education secretary Bill Bennett. Emails obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request show Bennett had much more favor among Daniels and his advisers, AP wrote. In January 2010, when Daniels discovered the board of Is Daniels doing pretty education had changed much what was expected the state’s of him really news textbook rules to allow at all? Bennett’s book, he quickly asked how soon his advisers could get copies of “The Last Best Hope” in classrooms. Where exactly is the news value here? This is not a dissertation on the rightness or wrongness of Daniels’ efforts. Daniels is one of two politicians who never, ever called me back when I requested that he do so. The other was former U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh. Daniels is a Republican, and Bayh is a Democrat, which only proves that ignoring the media is not a partisan position per se (but most likely the righteous outcome of being a well-bred individual). This also is not discourse on the questions regarding liberal history vs. conservative history, which is a matter of taste and spin. Conservatives would have you believe it was the courageousness of the citizenry that allowed Americans to tame the Wild West, while liberals would point out we basically stole everything from Native Americans. The truth lies at least partially with both camps (leading a person to believe that both sides, if not lying outright, are at least guilty of the sin of omission for ignoring part of the truth). Rather, this is about man bites dog, or dog biting man. Is anyone surprised Mitch Daniels, a conservative, was opposed to a liberal historian’s account of history? Is it a shocker that Daniels supported a conservative historian’s account of history? It could be argued that not only was Daniels doing what was expected of him, but also what his obligation was as a man elected by a conservative majority of voters on two separate occasions. Are our elected representatives supposed to categorically refute the principles of the people who put them into office in the first place? Is Daniels doing pretty much what was expected of him really news at all? Now if Daniels had been pushing Zinn, that would be something. The AP, of course, needs to publish something to justify the hassle it went through to gain access to Daniels’ emails. If the news organization can’t come up with anyhing more sinister than this, then Daniels should rest easy. I would tell him that personally, but he never returns my phone calls.

Letters to The Editor • We stand corrected on energy savings

Our current immigration system is broken

To the editor: In the editorial on the energy-saving project … there is an error in your calculation that, in my opinion, changes the saving from essentially insignificant to meaningful. In doing the math, saving 416 million kilowatt-hours out of a total of 30 billion is actually 1.4 percent, not “less than one-tenth of 1 percent.”

To the editor: Congressman Marlin Stutzman says he is against amnesty, and so am I! But I think we can both agree that our current immigration system is broken and urgent action is needed. We need to secure the border; we need to increase the number of H-1B visas to attract the world’s best and brightest; we need a Bill Brand simple and effective employment verificaWaterloo tion system to ensure employers play by the rules; and we need a pathway to legal status EDITOR’S NOTE: We apologize for placing for those currently in the country. the decimal point in the wrong spot in our In the interest of national security alone, calculations. we must identify and register those illegally

in the country now. For those found to have no criminal records, earning legal status and eventually citizenship should be an option, but only in a way that’s fair to those who came here legally in the first place. These immigrants need to acknowledge they broke our laws by paying a fine and back taxes, learning English, and getting in the back of the line so those that are playing by the rules aren’t penalized. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to end our current system of de facto amnesty and create a pro-growth, 21st century immigration system that is essential to improving our border security as well as our economic security.

The minimum wage is minimally helpful Later this month, we will observe the 50th anniversary of the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” The protesters’ demands during that march prompted Dr. Terri Jett to pen an op-ed for the Indianapolis Star. In particular, she emphasized a significant increase in the minimum wage (to $10.10 per hour) as “a moral imperative” that would be beneficial to less-skilled workers and the economy as a whole. Dr. Jett encouraged her readers to support legislation proposed by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Rep. George Miller (D-CA). Their bill would “index” the minimum wage, as well, and provide an arbitrary increase in the minimum wage for restaurant servers. Both provisions are reasonable enough — if one is going to have a minimum wage. But the minimum wage itself is greatly overrated and vastly inferior to other policies that accomplish the same goals without collateral damage. But let’s start with what is helpful in the legislation. First, “indexing” means to adjust something for the impact of inflation. For example, the tax code is indexed, so that taxpayers don’t drift into higher income tax brackets, simply through the higher cost of living induced by the federal government through inflation. Social Security is also indexed; payments to the elderly are adjusted for higher average costs of living. Likewise, the minimum wage should be indexed. Another benefit of this reform: It would eliminate the need to revisit this tired issue every few years. We don’t argue over giving more money to Grandma every few years. There’s no good reason to sporadically debate the minimum wage either. Second, the minimum wage is not

currently applied to all labor markets. Restaurant servers don’t earn the minimum but they receive tip income. Other exemptions are far more arbitrary, ranging from babysitters to farmers, from wreathmakers to newspaper employees, from the disabled to the seasonally employed. But if the minimum wage is good policy — for workers and for society — why are there any exceptions at all? In this, the HarkinMiller proposal lacks coherency or courage. ERIC All that said, the minimum wage is not SCHANSBERG good policy. Let’s start with the most obvious point: By increasing the cost of hiring less-skilled workers, the policy would help those who keep their jobs but harm those whose skills would not be rented at the higher, artificial, arbitrary wage floor. (For example, the unemployment rate was 11 percent in July for those with less than a high school education.) Why is it wise or compassionate to help some less-skilled workers by punishing others in the same, vulnerable category? And it can’t be good for the economy as a whole. If it were, we could simply legislate our way to economic growth and prosperity by increasing the minimum wage to $50 per hour. Again, the policy prescription lacks coherence or courage. Ironically, given Dr. Jett’s connection of the policy to the goals of that long ago March, a higher minimum wage increases the likelihood of discriminatory outcomes.

•

The policy disproportionately impacts some minority groups, since they are disproportionately among the unskilled. And by increasing the surplus of workers (unemployment), it lowers the cost of engaging in discrimination. If I’m a bigot, it’s comforting to know that there’s a line of workers from whom I can choose — to indulge my odd and unfortunate preferences. (For example, the black teen unemployment rate was 42 percent in July; for white teens, it was 20 percent.) Finally, the minimum wage is poorly-targeted. It increases wages for all minimumwage workers, not just those trying to raise a family on a “living” wage. As such, it points to better policy alternatives. For example, Indiana imposes the highest state income taxes on households at the poverty line. State legislators, concerned about the working poor, should eliminate all taxation on income earned by those in households below the poverty line. Federal payroll taxes cause far more damage. They cost the working poor 15.3 percent of every dollar earned — for those at the poverty line, more than $3,000 per year. The beauty of these policy reforms is that they do not impose a cost on those we’re trying to help. The moral imperative with public policy begins with good policy analysis and well-targeted policies that maximize benefits and minimize costs, particularly for the vulnerable in our society. As such, the minimum wage is a poor policy for trying to help the poor. ERIC SCHANSBERG, PH.D., an adjunct scholar with the Indiana Policy Review Foundation, is a professor of economics at Indiana University Southeast.

What Others Say • Remember reason for Common Core standards The review of Common Core State Standards, as applied to Indiana, has begun. It is a familiar battle, having been fought once before. The state Board of Education had already approved the Common Core standards in 2010, and Indiana’s schools have been working to implement them in their curriculum. These standards aim to make sure students at each grade level are making progress toward becoming college- and careerready. They also allow students across the nation to be compared with

their peers. That makes sense, for they will be competing with the same group for college admissions and for jobs. The Common Core standards have been criticized as another example of the federal government trying to take over a state responsibility, but that’s just not true. The Common Core standards are not guidelines handed down from the federal government, but those agreed upon by nearly every state. Even within those national standards, there is room for adaptation to address issues within the state. Indiana should not shy away from that option, as long as the larger goal of being able to compare scores with peers in other states is not forgotten.

Earlier this year, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law calling for a one-year pause in implementation of the new standards while the legislators second-guess the state Board of Education’s decision to adopt them. Complicating the issue are two factors — the computer glitch that hampered widespread standardized testing in Indiana and a few other states this spring, along with the scandal involving former Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett ordering school accountability grades to be changed. Bennett, a Republican, recommended adoption of the Common Core standards, and now all his actions are being

scrutinized. What must not be lost in this debate, however, is that standardized tests and accountability are needed to ensure Hoosier students are learning what they need to succeed in life. Common Core standards can and should be adapted to include Indiana-specific goals. Even the critics should agree with that. But don’t just scrap this movement because of the Tony Bennett scandal or the ill-conceived notion that comparing students on a national basis is a bad idea. Indiana students need the Common Core standards to ensure they are well prepared for the future. The Times, Munster

Briefs • Prosecutors rest in Fort Hood trial FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — Military prosecutors rested their case Tuesday against the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people during the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, but whether the soldier plans to do anything to defend himself remains to be seen. After calling nearly 90 witnesses in only 11 days, prosecutors completed their case against Maj. Nidal Hasan. The soldier also is accused of wounding more than 30 people at the Texas Army post during the attack, the worst mass shooting ever on a U.S. military base. The judge then adjourned the trial for the day, meaning Hasan could begin his case Wednesday — but he indicated Tuesday that he planned to call no witnesses. When reminded by the judge when it was time to formally argue that prosecutors hadn’t proven their case, Hasan declined.

Iran Foreign Ministry to handle nuke talks TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s Western-educated foreign minister will take the lead in nuclear talks with world powers, an Iranian diplomat said Tuesday, in a sign the Islamic Republic may seek a less confrontational approach to negotiations over its disputed nuclear program than in past years. Since the election of centrist Hasan Rouhani as president in June, the country has trumpeted what it says will be a fresh new style in its dealings with a six-nation group — the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany — over the program. The main thrust of the plan, officials say, is to maintain the program but abandon the bombastic negotiating style used under Rouhani’s predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

San Diego mayor back in talks SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego’s embattled mayor on Tuesday spent a second day in settlement talks over a sexual harassment lawsuit against him, as petitions circulated to recall the former congressman who has been besieged by allegations from more than a dozen women. City Council President Todd Gloria and Councilman Kevin Faulconer confirmed that Mayor Bob Filner has been present at the talks involving the lawsuit filed by his former communications director Irene McCormack Jackson. McCormack, as she is known professionally, was the first to go public with allegations against the 70-year-old mayor, who has resisted an avalanche of calls to step down, including from the entire City Council. Gloria and Faulconer declined to comment further, saying the mediator, former federal judge J. Lawrence Irving, has asked that no one divulge specifics about the ongoing talks.

People • Dr. Oz helps when taxi hits woman NEW YORK (AP) — After a yellow cab jumped the curb and struck a New York City pedestrian, Dr. Oz was there. Celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz heard the accident Oz Tuesday morning outside Rockefeller Center and rushed to the scene to help out. The studio where he tapes his syndicated talk show is nearby. Oz says in a statement that emergency medical crews were already treating the injured woman who had a bad leg wound. He says a good Samaritan made a tourniquet out of a belt for the woman.

Afghan massacre victim takes stand JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Washington (AP) — An Afghan farmer shot during a massacre in Kandahar Province last year took the witness stand Tuesday against the U.S. soldier who attacked his village, cursing him before breaking down and pleading with the prosecutor not to ask him any more questions. Haji Mohammad Naim appeared Tuesday in the courtroom at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle, where a sentencing hearing began for Staff Sgt. Robert Bales in the slayings of 16 civilians killed during pre-dawn raids on two

villages on March 11, 2012. The hearing afforded some victims and relatives their first chance to confront Bales face-to-face. With a thick gray beard, a turban and traditional Afghan dress, Haji Mohammad Naim testified in his native Pashto through an interpreter, speaking loudly and quickly and frequently waving a finger in the air. He pointed to where he was shot in the cheek and neck. “This bastard stood right in front of me!” he said. “I wanted to ask him, ‘What did I do? What have I done to you?’… And he shot me!”

Bales pleaded guilty in June to avoid the death penalty. Now the six jurors must decide whether he is sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole or without it. Naim, who is about 60 years old, said he has suffered from numbness in his hand and a stutter since the shooting. He became emotional, often speaking over the interpreter, as prosecutor Lt. Col. Jay Morse asked what it was like to have someone come into his home uninvited. He eventually stood up and said he’d had enough: “Don’t ask me any more questions!”

The prosecutor asked him for one more favor: to sit down and see whether the defense attorneys had any questions for him. He complied, but Bales’ lawyers said they didn’t need to ask him anything. Naim’s two sons, Sadiquallah, who is about 13, and the older Faizullah, also testified. Sadiquallah spoke quietly, responding with a simple “yes” when asked if he cried about being shot. Faizullah, who was not at home during the attack, said his father has trouble picking up even simple objects because his hand is so weak.

Seven Afghans testified. Four were hurt in the attacks. Three others were relatives of the dead or wounded. Among the other victims who testified was a man who goes by the name Samiullah. His teenage son, Rafiullah, was shot in both legs. His daughter, Zardana, survived after being shot in the head. “He wakes up with nightmares. He thinks the Americans are coming after him,” Samiullah said. “Zardana was a bright girl. She was shot in the head. Half her brain is missing. She is no longer the same person.”

Teen fires assault rifle at Georgia elementary DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — A teen was in custody Tuesday, accused of firing shots from an assault rifle at an Atlanta-area elementary school where dramatic television footage showed young students racing out of the building, being escorted by teachers and police to safety. No one was injured. The 800 or so students in pre-kindergarten to fifth grade were evacuated from Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, a few miles east of Atlanta. They sat outside in a field for a time until school buses came to take them to their waiting parents and other relatives at a nearby Wal-Mart. When the first bus arrived a couple hours later, cheers erupted in the store parking lot. The suspect, a 19-yearold man with no clear ties to the school, fired at least a half-dozen shots with an assault rifle from inside the school and officers returned fire when the man was alone and they had a clear shot, DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric L. Alexander said at a news conference. Though the school has a system where people must be buzzed in, the gunman slipped inside behind someone authorized to be there, Alexander said. The suspect, whose identity was not released, never got past the front office, where he held one or two employees captive for a time, and was being questioned at the police department, Alexander said. No charges had yet been filed. A woman in the school

office called WSB-TV as it was happening to say the gunman asked her to contact the Atlanta station and police. WSB said during the call, shots were heard in the background. Assignment editor Lacey Lecroy said she spoke with the woman who said she was alone with the man and his gun was visible. “It didn’t take long to know that this woman was serious,” Lecroy said. “Shots were one of the last things I heard. I was so worried for her.” U.S. Marshals and other law enforcement took the man into custody after the shootout. Alexander said the man had other weapons. DeKalb County Schools Superintendent Michael Thurmond praised faculty and authorities who got the young students to safety, staying calm and following safety plans in place. All teachers and students made it out of the school unharmed. “It’s a blessed day, all of our children are safe,” Thurmond said at the news conference. “This was a highly professional response on the ground by DeKalb County employees assisted by law enforcement.” Complicating the rescue, bomb-sniffing dogs alerted officers to something in the suspect’s trunk and investigators believe the man may have been carrying explosives, Alexander said. Officials cut a hole in a fence to make sure students running from the building could get even farther away to a nearby street, he said.

Former president charged in Bhutto killing RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) — In an unprecedented ruling that tests the military’s aura of inviolability, a court indicted former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf Tuesday on murder charges stemming from the 2007 assassination of ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Musharraf, who became a key U.S. ally in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, pleaded not guilty. The decision by the court in Rawalpindi marked the first time a current or former army chief has been charged with a crime in the country. Musharraf, a 70-year-old former commando who took power in a 1999 coup and stepped down from office in disgrace nearly a decade later, now faces a string of legal problems that in many ways challenge the military’s sacrosanct status in Pakistani society. The retired general was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and facilitation for murder, said prosecutor Chaudhry Muhammed Azhar. He did not detail the accusations against Musharraf, but prosecutors have alleged he failed to provide enough protection to Bhutto as she led her Pakistan People’s Party in a parliamentary election that might have given her a third term as prime minister. She was killed in a gun and

bomb attack at a rally in Rawalpindi, near the capital, Islamabad. The charges also include clearing the scene of a crime and destroying evidence, Azhar said. Bhutto was respected by many Pakistanis for her condemnation of militancy and support for the poor. But her premiership was marred by accusations of widespread corruption. Her assassination set off protests across the country and helped propel her party to power in parliament and her husband to the presidency. Bhutto’s supporters say Musharraf ignored requests for additional security, and a 2010 U.N. report on her death said he failed to make serious efforts to ensure Bhutto’s safety. The court also harshly criticized investigators for hosing down the crime scene, failing to perform an autopsy and quickly blaming a Taliban commander for the assassination. The prosecutor said he has a list of 148 witnesses and documents including a note Bhutto sent to a close friend complaining that Musharraf was not providing her with proper security. The judge set Aug. 27 as the next court date to present evidence. But Pakistan court cases can drag on for years, and convictions are often overturned on appeal.

A memorial to Christopher Lane is shown Tuesday along the road where

he was shot and killed, in Duncan, Okla.

Three teens charged after Australian player slain DUNCAN, Okla. (AP) — With the simplest of motives — breaking up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer — three teenagers followed an Australian collegiate baseball player who was attending school in the U.S. and killed him with a shot to the back for “the fun of it,” prosecutors said Tuesday as they charged two of the teens with murder. As the boys appeared in an Oklahoma courtroom, a 17-year-old blurted out, “I pulled the trigger,” then wept after a judge told him that Tuesday’s hearing wasn’t the time or place to sort out the facts of the case. Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys “thugs” as he told Stephens County Judge Jerry Herberger how Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, died on a city street. Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards, Jr., 15, of Duncan were charged with first-degree murder and, under Oklahoma law, will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan was accused of using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and accessory to first-degree murder after the fact.

He is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court. “I’m appalled,” Hicks said after the hearing. “This is not supposed to happen in this community.” In court, Hicks said Luna was sitting in the rear seat of a car when he pulled the trigger on a .22 caliber revolver and shot Lane once in the back. Hicks said Jones was driving the vehicle and Edwards was in the passenger seat. Edwards has had run-ins with the law previously and had been in court Friday, the day of the killing, to sign documents related to his juvenile probation. “I believe this man is a threat to the community and should not be let out,” Hicks said as he requested no bond for Edwards. “He thinks it’s all a joke.” The two younger boys were held without bond; Bond was set at $1 million for Jones. Family and friends on two continents mourned Lane, who gave up pursuit of an Australian football career to pursue his passion for baseball, an American pastime. His girlfriend Sarah Harper tearfully laid a cross at a streetside memorial

in Duncan, while half a world away, an impromptu memorial grew at the home plate he protected as a catcher on his youth team. “We just thought we’d leave it,” Sarah Harper said as she visited the memorial on Duncan’s north, well-to-do side. “This is his final spot.” Flowers, photos and an Australian flag already adorned the roadside in a tribute to Lane. “I don’t know anybody who’s left this. It means a lot,” Harper said. Police Chief Dan Ford has said the boys wanted to overcome a boring end to their summer vacation — classes in Duncan resumed Tuesday — and that Jones told officers that they were bored and killed Lane for “the fun of it.” Lane played at East Central University in Ada, 85 miles east of Duncan, and had been visiting Harper and her parents after he and his girlfriend returned to the U.S. from Australia about a week ago. His old team, Essendon, scheduled a memorial game for Sunday to raise funds for Lane’s parents as they worked to have their boy’s remains sent home.

Woman feels guilty for having affair DEAR ABBY: I am a twice-divorced woman who has never been good at choosing the men in my life. Two years ago, I met a man who is 12 years my senior. He is sweet, thoughtful and caring, and would do just about anything for me. What started as companionship has turned into a full-blown love affair. The problem is that he is married. His wife is not well. She has a chronic disease and other medical problems. The way he cares for her is what attracted me to him in the first place. He spends what time he can with me, but mostly he is there for his wife. I am OK with the situation, as I don’t want him to leave her for me. I have tried breaking it off with him, but he gets me to take him back, saying he doesn’t know what he would do without me in his life. He is very

DEAR DOCTOR K: What does magnesium contribute to good health? Should I have my magnesium level checked? DEAR READER: Magnesium is important for good health. You need adequate magnesium for bone health, and it’s essential for proper nerve, muscle, heart rhythm and immune function. It helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes healthy blood pressure. We get most of the magnesium we need in food. About half of the magnesium we absorb is stored in bone; the other half is stored in cells throughout the body. Excess magnesium is excreted through the kidneys. If you eat whole-grain bread and your tap water is “hard” — meaning it contains relatively high levels of minerals — you probably consume more magnesium than a person

strong-willed. Abby, I feel like I’m in the background waiting for her to die so I can take her place as his wife, and I hate this feeling. What should I do? — GUILTY IN DEAR DEAR GUILTY: ABBY Your feelings are well founded. Jeanne Phillips You ARE waiting in the background for this man’s wife to die. But what if she doesn’t? You say you have never been good at choosing men, and I have to agree. Please don’t think I am unsympathetic, but it’s time to ask yourself why you chose to

same is true for people who abuse alcohol. How much magnesium should you get? For women ages 19-30, 310 milligrams (mg) daily; ages 31 and older, 320 mg. For men ages 19-30, 400 mg; ages 31 and older, 420 mg. Popular multivitamin brands contain between 10 percent to 30 percent of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for magnesium. Studies have shown that magnesium supplements may modestly lower blood pressure, but don’t take high-dose supplements without a doctor’s guidance. You can get magnesium from a variety of healthy foods, such as nuts, fish, certain fruits, many vegetables and whole grains. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.
