Expert: iMAN a data model BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — The Indiana Metropolitan Area Network that provides a fiber optics system in Steuben County is one that is touted across the country. The iMAN system, which provides a fiber optics system to business, government, health care and education entities in Steuben County, has been in operation some 14 years. iMAN is an arm of the Steuben County Community Foundation and operates as a non-profit organization whose goal is to provide fiber connectivity at a low cost to the community then if possible turn a portion of the fees

collected back to the foundation, which will distribute the money through grants. “Those of you in this room should be very proud of the job you’ve done,” said Craig Settles, a broadband expert and consultant from Oakland, Calif. Settles was one of the speakers in iMAN’s community project update presented at Witmer Clubhouse, Zollner Golf Course, Trine University. “Steuben County has been able to move forward because you were willing to take the ball and make things happen,” Settles said. Settles said Steuben County was one of the country’s broadband success stories because

local leaders worked to form a non-profit that is providing a needed service that would otherwise not be done were it left to private business. “The ability to transform your community is very powerful,” Settles said. The iMAN network has 64 companies providing point-topoint fiber optics line. The organization took in $127,000 in revenue in 2012, said Jennifer Danic, executive director of the Community Foundation. Of the revenue, 84 percent was used for operational and physical expenses with the remaining 16 percent turned over to the Community Foundation.

iMAN’s Jad Donaldson said the network is on the verge of breaking out of its island status where it will be interconnected to the main fiber hub in South Bend. Donaldson said it has cost $3.3 million in grants and local government funds to put the iMAN fiber network in place. He estimates that its users have saved $5.5 million in service fees that would have been charged by private fiber service providers. Most importantly, Donaldson and Dave Koenig of the Steuben County Economic Development Corp. stressed, iMAN provides the community with a tool that will attract companies. SEE IMAN, PAGE A6

ANGOLA — Angola Police Department is doing what it can to keep officers safe. The Below 100 seminar at Trine University on Oct. 14 is being promoted throughout the eastern part of the United States as an opportunity for police officers to learn safety techniques and reduce the number of law enforcement fatalities. It was initially organized by Angola Police Chief Stu Hamblen and Assistant Chief Ken Whitmire, who attended a Below 100 training. “We were on our way home, and trying to get the funding to get this group to come in and present so we wouldn’t have a cost,” said Whitmire. With grants from the Steuben County REMC and Steuben County Community Foundation and the donation of Trine University’s Fabiani Theatre for the day, they were able to do it. The trainers, coming to Angola from California and Georgia, are donating their time. The Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network is promoting the seminar in Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Michigan, New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania. “Any of our local police departments are invited,” said Whitmire. Officers interested in participating can call Whitmire at the Angola Police Department or register through MAGLOCLEN at 800-345-1322, ext. 1515.

Greenfield Mills to stay open BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

GREENFIELD MILLS — Greenfield Mills, a historic LaGrange County business, will stay open and already has resumed production, just two weeks after its owner announced he intended to shut down the 160-year-old business. David Rinkle, owner of Greenfield Mills and its line of New Rinkle flours and pancake mix, apparently never really knew just how much his customers appreciated his products. He said he was overwhelmed by people begging him to stay in operation. “I was really, really surprised,” Rinkle said with a smile Monday. Customers flooded his mill’s store after he announced the planned shutdown. They bought practically everything that was on the store’s shelves, all the while pleading with Rinkle to not close Greenfield Mills. “I guess flour is one of those products people kind of take for granted until you start making pies and they don’t turn out,” Rinkle said. “That’s basically what’s happened. So people kind of twisted my arm and said, we want you to continue. And so my wife and I talked about it and decided we can give it another shot, and we’ll see if we can make ends meet.” Greenfield Mills sits in the northeast corner of LaGrange County, next to a mill pond created when the Fawn River first was dammed. It is the oldest commercial, water-powered mill in the state. Rinkle, 58, is the fourth generation of his family to own and operate the mill. His great-grandfather, Henry Rinkle, bought the then-60year-old mill in 1904 and spent the next two years rebuilding it and repairing the dam that provided the

mill’s power. In 1906, Rinkle produced his first batch of “New Wrinkle Flour.” The “W” was later dropped from the product name. In 1924, Henry Rinkle modernized the old mill, installing a 125-watt hydroelectric generator to power the mill’s equipment. He also created what would become the state’s smallest power utility. In addition to powering the mill, the utility provides the electricity to power 11 local homes and a couple of barns. Dave Rinkle said he learned the miller’s art from his grandfather, George Rinkle, Henry’s son. Like everyone one else in his family, Rinkle worked in the mill after school next to his grandfather and father. His son and daughter now work with him in the mill. The mill produces both pastry and bread flour, as well as certified organic whole wheat and white pastry flour. Rinkle also mills pure buckwheat flour, graham flour, yellow and white corn meal, wheat bran and buckwheat hulls, as

well as a variety of different pancake mixes. Shutting down an icon is apparently easier said than done. Demand for the mill’s products has been high. “The pastry flour, there’s a huge demand right now, the bread flour is running a close second, pancake mix third,” he said. Rinkle said he spent most of the last two weeks talking to people who were trying to convince him to keep the business open. One man associated with local Scouting said that Scout fundraising pancake breakfasts, many of which seem to use New Rinkle pancake mix, might not be able to continue without the mill. Even commercial bakeries put people on the phone to beg Rinkle to reconsider his decision. “We had such an overwhelming response to the news that the mill would be closing, that we started thinking about it a little bit more,” Rinkle said. “Basically everybody told me in the last two weeks that they’d rather we go up a little in price and continue

in business than to quit.” One LaGrange County bakery told Rinkle it could not find a suitable replacement for New Rinkle pastry flour. “They told us they’d tried five different kinds of flour and couldn’t come close to the results they got with our flour,” he said. Demand for other Greenfield Mills products, such as its Hearts of Wheat cereal, also was high. The LaGrange County business is one of the few remaining mills to produce the iconic breakfast food. Rinkle said customers as far away as New York and California contacted him after he announced he was shutting down, wanting to buy any remaining stock. “I had a guy call me from California who just went ballistic when he read we were closing down the mill and was worried he was never going to have Hearts of Wheat cereal again,” Rinkle explained. “He said he would take as much as I could produce, a couple hundred pounds, just to store it so he’ll have it.”

Man gets 8 years for meth BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — A Crooked Lake man was sentenced to eight years Monday in Steuben Circuit for manufacturing methamphetamine. Garrett Don Ambler admitted to the Class B felony charge, which carries up to a 20-year sentence, and also pleaded Ambler guilty to violating his probation in another case. He received two years for the probation violation. Two other felony drug possession charges and two misdemeanor charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. Ambler was arrested in December in an early morning traffic stop. An investigation led police to Ambler’s home, where they found several items associated with the manufacture of meth, say court documents. Steuben County Sheriff’s detectives along with members of the Indiana State Police Meth Suppression Section’s Clandestine Lab Team were called to the residence. Ambler was taken into custody Monday in Steuben Circuit Court following his sentencing and will be remanded to an Indiana prison.

Megachurch linked to 21 measles cases DALLAS (AP) — A Texas megachurch linked to at least 21 cases of measles has been trying to contain the outbreak by hosting vaccination clinics, officials said. The outbreak started when a person who contracted measles overseas visited Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, about 20 miles north of Fort Worth, Texas. Health department officials said those sickened ranged in age from 4-months to 44-years-old. All of the school-age children with measles were homeschooled. “If it finds a pocket of people who are unimmunized, and the majority of our cases are unimmunized so far, then if you are around a person with measles, you will get sick,” Russell Jones, chief epidemiologist for Tarrant County Public Health, said Monday. In Tarrant County, where the church is located, 11 of the 16 people with measles were not vaccinated while the others may have had at least one measles vaccination. None of the five people infected in nearby Denton County have been vaccinated. In a sermon posted online, senior pastor Terri Pearsons encouraged those who haven’t been vaccinated to do so, adding that the Old Testament is “full of precautionary measures.” “I would encourage you to do that. There’s absolutely

nothing wrong with doing that. Go do it. Go do it. Go do it. And go in faith,” said Pearsons, whose father is televangelist Kenneth Copeland. But she added, if “you’ve got this covered in your household by faith and it crosses your heart of faith then don’t go do it. “The main thing is stay in faith no matter what you do.” Measles is spread by coughing, sneezing and close personal contact with infected people; symptoms include a fever, cough, and a rash on the face. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children get two doses of the combined vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, called the MMR. The first dose should be given when the child is 12 to 15 months old and the second at 4 to 6 years old. Vaccination opt-out rates nationwide have been creeping up since the mid-2000s, spurred in part by the belief that the vaccinations routinely given to infants could lead to autism, despite scientific evidence to the contrary. Pearsons’ father is a pioneer of the prosperity gospel, which holds that believers are destined to flourish spiritually, physically and financially — and share the wealth with others. He has built a vast ministry with a worldwide reach.

Consumer confidence in U.S. rises in August WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans’ confidence in the economy inched closer to a 5 ½-year high on growing optimism that hiring and wages could pick up in coming months. The Conference Board, a New York-based private research group, said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 81.5 in August. That’s up from a revised reading of 81 in July. And it’s just below the 82.1 reading in June, which was the highest since January 2008. Consumers’ income expectations, which fell earlier this year after a January tax hike, rebounded to the highest level in 2 ½ years, said Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board’s economic indicators. Although consumers were more confident about the future, their assessment of the current economy

dipped slightly in August. “Consumer sentiment is holding steady, supported by advances in stocks, solid job creation, and a broad-based recovery in the housing market,” Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors, wrote in a research note. Consumers’ confidence in the economy is watched closely because their spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. After hitting bottom at 25.3 at the depths of the Great Recession in February 2009, the index has bounced back. But it has yet to get back to the 90 reading that signals a healthy economy. Americans’ confidence jumped in June on hopes that the job market was starting to turn around. The economy has created an average of 192,000 jobs a month this year, slightly ahead of last year’s pace.

Animals live and feel, they are not just property BY ANNETTE RYAN KLEINHENZ

I stare into Sarah’s golden brown eyes and know I want this living creature in my world. I bury my face into the ruff of fur at Eli’s neck and inhale the fresh fur and doggy B.O. that is unique to my friend of eight years and know the love I feel pouring into me is pure and strong. I see the expectation and faith in Jackson’s wise eyes that I will feed him, and give him the arthritis medicine in a gob of peanut butter so he can make the steps one more day, and I know I am a better person for sharing my life with this noble beast. Animals improve my world. They are my friends. My animals control their wild natures to potty where I teach them, refrain from jumping on guests, sit when told and wait until I’m ready to let them out, walk them, and pay them attention. My animals, like yours, exhibit remarkable self-discipline on a daily basis. Do you love animals? Sometimes you just have to put your money where your mouth is if you like the world with animals in it. Despite so many reasons to give up on humanity, for the negligence, occasional abuse, dismissal and captivity, animals are fiercely persistent in loving our species. In our legal system, we have arrogantly declared animals as property. Unprovoked, the number of domesticated animals that attack approaches zero unless they have been trained or bred by humans to be aggressive, or been pushed to unimaginable limits.

Yet, animals have no rights. It’s a soapbox kind of day for me, so sorry. I just attended one of the many Confined Animal Feeding meetings to protest the proposed spreading of manure from around 5,000 hogs and composting of thousands of dead hog carcasses a year onto the land surrounding the lakes in our county. That’s dreadful to me, as our county is dependent on tourism, clean water and the tax base from all its homes to operate efficiently and grow. What will happen to the Steuben County tax base if algae, E.coli and weeds overtake our beautiful lakes and no one wants to live on them and property values drop? By the way, I can trace my family’s farming history back at least eight generations so I’m very pro farming. The confined animal farming or industrial farming concept is to ship a continual parade of young hogs to Steuben County, and confine them nearly motionless while they are force fed antibiotic and hormone modified food so they rapidly gain weight. One set of hogs is followed by another. This means there is no end to the thousands and thousands of gallons of hog feces and urine held underground, uphill from Steuben County lakes, in unlined cement containers during the months when the earth is frozen and pumped over Steuben County’s land when the weather is warm. All water ends up in the same place, in our county’s underground aquafers, which have no boundaries and flow everywhere

including into municipal water systems. Google factory farms, confined animal farming or see steubenlakesenvironmental. com/ if you need information. When a set of fattened hogs is shipped out of our community by the heads of these conglomerate farmers, they pay our local farmers for their work, but take the profits with them. All we get is the small amount of farmland tax for the couple of acres this factory farm takes. Not quite true, however, as we also get to keep the pollution — and the damage to our economy — and the cost to clean up our county’s waters, assuming that is even possible. Pigs are mammals like cats and dogs, and are intelligent beings. Some people keep pigs as family pets. They will be miserable held in confinement and that wrenches my heart. Animals are property, have no rights and are supposedly dumb, but I don’t think any animal is that dumb. Yes, the byproduct of this industrial farming practice worries me because what happens to our city and county budgets if our lakes become so contaminated with algae, bacteria and weeds that no one wants to come here? How much of the antibiotics and hormones in the hog feed are excreted? That’s bad enough but I’ve held pet pigs and watched them play. If you believe your cat or dog has feelings why don’t these hogs have feelings too? If you love animals, or if the environment is your concern, call your elected

city and county officials and tell them how you feel. Meat is a source of essential nutrients for most people but a healthy diet does not have to include daily meat. Be brave and buy a tofu cookbook. Grill a bean burger once in awhile. Look for free range and naturally fed when you buy meat or eggs. Take action if you love animals. If you want a puppy or kitten, heaven help us, we are overrun with the adorable creatures, so don’t go to for-profit puppy mills! If you want a specific breed of dog or cat, go online and investigate breed rescue

groups. Adopt an adult cat or dog, they are seasoned and expert pets. Don’t contribute to your local shelter’s population problem, have your pet spayed or neutered. Do something concrete if you love animals. Consider having two cats or two dogs or one of each. An animal needs the company of it’s own kind. If that doesn’t work for you, make sure your pets are not isolated. Animals are social creatures. If you love animals support your local shelter. Without us, lost and abandoned animals would

starve, become roadkill, and suffer hardship and cruel conditions. Leave the shelter a few dollars in your will. Consider making a year-end tax deductible donation, and it doesn’t have to be big to make an impact. Promote kindness and humane treatment of all animals. They may not have the big brain of humans but I’d venture to say their hearts make up for it. If you love animals take action in your own life. ANNETTE RYAN KLEINHENZ is

AUCTION: Television celebrities scheduled to appear estimated top bid of up to $1.6 million. Its first owner was an heiress to the DuPont fortune. Auction America is staging its fourth auction in Auburn as it carries on a 42-year tradition of collector car sales during the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival. The company is hoping to continue the momentum from its first California sale four weeks ago, which saw $17.2 million in sales and an 84 percent sale rate. In addition to its Duesenbergs, the sale offers six Auburn automobiles, topped by a 1933 Auburn Boattail Speedster with a 12-cylinder engine. Bidding opens Wednesday with a session

selling more than 400 lots from the memorabilia collection of Kirk F. White. It includes automotive fine art, racing memorabilia, vintage toys, early model trains, automotive literature; tether and model cars and antiques. Thursday will be Armed Services Day, with free admission for active and retired military personnel and their families. The auction should reach its peak Saturday during the “Saturday Salon� segment of the sale. It includes more than 90 cars from southern Indiana collector Edward Ewing, with an emphasis on 1950s and ’60s models. Richard and Linda Kughn of Michigan, well known members of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club,

denies the claim. The Arab League also threw its weight behind calls for punitive action, blaming the Syrian government for the attack and calling for those responsible to be brought to justice. British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament to hold an emergency vote Thursday on his country’s response. It is unlikely that any international military action would begin before then. U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said U.S. military forces stand ready to strike Syria at once if President Barack Obama gives the order, and French President Francois Hollande said France was “ready to punish those who took the heinous decision to gas innocents.� Obama is weighing a response focused narrowly on punishing Assad for violating international agreements that ban the use of chemical weapons. Officials said the goal was not to drive Assad from

power or impact the broader trajectory of Syria’s bloody civil war, now in its third year. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday the West should be under no illusion that bombing Syrian military targets would help end the violence in Syria, an ally of Moscow, and he pointed to the volatile situations in Iraq and Libya that he said resulted from foreign military intervention. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said his country would use “all means available� to defend itself. “We have the means to defend ourselves and we will surprise everyone,� he said. At a news conference in Damascus, al-Moallem challenged Washington to present proof to back up its accusations and he also likened the allegations to false American charges in 2003 that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction before the U.S.-led invasion of that country. “They have a history of lies — Iraq,� he said.

The White House dismissed as “fanciful� the notion that anyone other than Assad could be to blame. “Suggestions that there’s any doubt about who’s responsible for this are as preposterous as a suggestion that the attack did not occur,� spokesman Jay Carney said. A U.S. official said some of the evidence includes signals intelligence — information gathered from intercepted communications. The U.S. assessment is also based on the number of reported victims, the symptoms of those injured or killed, and witness accounts. The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations. The United Nations said its team of chemical weapons experts in Syria had delayed a second trip to investigate the alleged attack by one day for security reasons. On Monday, the team came under sniper fire.

Retro look Colts hoping basic style brings Super Bowl title INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis is going retro. After making a nine-game improvement and reaching the playoffs with rookie quarterback Andrew Luck in charge, new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton has installed a power-running game with double-tight end formations, and coach Chuck Pagano got the pieces he wanted to make Indy’s 3-4 defense look more like the defense he had in Baltimore. The Ravens won last year’s Super Bowl this way, and, well, Pagano figures he can replicate that success in Indy this year. With nearly three dozen new faces at training camp, the message seemed to resonate. “There’s nobody in there that’s relaxing,” Pagano said. “I think everybody, because of the acquisitions, because of the free agents, because of the draft, those types of things, our roster

is in a much better place than it was at any time last year.” So far, it’s worked. The Colts revamped defense hasn’t given up a touchdown in two games, and the injury-depleted offense is still trying to get the ground game in sync. What else has changed in Indy? Here’s five things to know about the Colts: DIFFERENT DEFENSE: After more than a decade of playing in the shadows of the Colts’ high-powered offense, Indianapolis’ defense is playing with the kind of swagger normally reserved for the best in the NFL. Don’t believe it? Ask Reggie Wayne, who was mocked by Cory Redding and Robert Mathis when a practice catch was ruled out of bounds. Ask Anthony Castonzo, the victim of one of Mathis’ nasty spin moves in SEE COLTS, PAGE B3

Hornets finish strong BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — With the score deadlocked at 1-1 and less the four minutes remaining, Angola’s girls varsity soccer team erupted for two scores to claim a 3-1 victory in the Northeast Corner Conference opener for both teams. “We have a fairly young team,” explained Angola coach Jen Sharkey. “We’re just coming together as a team and are taking it upon ourselves to make this a successful season.” The Hornets struck first in the contest, with Savanna Burkhardt connecting for the first of two

goals. Late in the opening half Benni Murillo would even the score with a West Noble goal. The contest was still tied at 1-all when Angola’s Amanda Davis lines up for a corner kick. The ball went to teammate Nicole Silverhart, who got off two shots. Burkhardt got the rebound on the second miss and buried the ball in the back of the net to put Angola up 2-1. Not finished, the Hornets scored again with 1:36 left when Silverhart broke free up the middle and put a ball past the Charger keeper. “We knew that West Noble was a hard second half team,” Sharkey said. “We knew we had to match their intensity.” SEE SOCCER, PAGE B2

Brennan Cochran scored four goals for DeKalb in a 7-2 win over Lakeland on Tuesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — At this point in his career, Roger Federer recognizes the importance of a little extra work. That’s why the owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles, and the man who spent more weeks ranked No. 1 than any other, was out there on a U.S. Open practice court late Tuesday afternoon, putting in some training time shortly after finishing off a 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 victory over 62nd-ranked Grega Zemlja of Slovenia in the first round. At 32, at his lowest ranking, No. 7, in more than a decade, coming off a stunningly early exit at the previous major tournament — one of a series of newsworthy losses lately — Federer is OK with making some concessions. He insists his passion for tennis is still there. “I’m in a good spot right now,” Federer said. “I want to enjoy it as long as it lasts.” He made it sound, though, as if it isn’t as easy to enjoy things the way his results have been going. Federer entered Tuesday 32-11, a .744 winning percentage that doesn’t sound too bad, until you consider his career mark at the start of this season was .816, and he’s had years where he went 81-4 (.953). and 92-5 (.948). He’s only won one tournament in 2013, which would be great for some guys, but Federer topped 10 titles three times, and hasn’t won fewer than three in any season since 2001. “Clearly, when you win everything, it’s fun.

Niese throws 3-hitter, drives in 3, Mets top Phils NEW YORK (AP) — Jonathon Niese pitched a shutout. He lined a game-breaking double. He worked out a key walk. And he ran through a stop sign to score the first run. Now that truly is a complete game. Niese threw a three-hitter and drove in three runs as the New York Mets put aside a devastating injury and a surprising trade, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 5-0 Tuesday night to end a five-game losing streak. “It was an overall great win for us,” Niese said. Thanks to a great overall effort by him. “One-man show by Niese,” Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg said. “Pretty stress-free.” Niese struck out five and walked one in his second career shutout in 112 major league starts. The Mets took advantage of several poor throws to win several hours after trading veterans Marlon Byrd and John Buck to Pittsburgh. It was Byrd T-shirt giveaway night at Citi

Field. Minus the team’s RBIs leader, Niese (6-6) handled matters at the plate and on the mound. Good timing, considering ace Matt Harvey was diagnosed this week with a partial tear in his elbow. “They want to pick each other up,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. Niese retired 17 straight batters and scored the first run by running through third base coach Tim Teufel’s late stop sign. “I had my mind made up,” Niese said. Niese improved to 3-0 in four starts since coming off the disabled list because of a partially torn rotator cuff. “It’s kind of rewarding to know I’m 100 percent now,” he said. After Michael Young led off the second inning with a single, the left-hander didn’t permit another runner until Young doubled to begin the eighth. Niese’s other shutout came in 2010. He popped his left hand into his mitt after Chase Utley flied out to finish this one on his 113th pitch.

Roger Federer, of Switzerland, returns a shot to Grega Zemlja, of Slovenia, during the first round of the 2013 U.S. Open tennis tournament Tuesday.

U.S. OPEN: Isner stays alive FROM PAGE B1

game more. You just like winning, being on the front page, lifting trophies, doing comfortable press conferences. It’s nice. But that doesn’t mean you really, actually love it, love it,” said Federer, whose streak of 36 consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinals ended with a second-round defeat at Wimbledon against an opponent ranked 116th. “That maybe shines through maybe more in times when you don’t play that well. For me, I knew it — winning or losing, practice court or match court — that I love it.” As Federer took the first step toward a possible quarterfinal meeting with nemesis Rafael Nadal, No. 5 Tomas Berdych and No. 10 Milos Raonic also picked up straight-set victories. On a day that American men went 5-1, led by No. 13

John Isner and No. 26 Sam Querrey, a handful of seeded men made quick departures. No. 14 Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, a semifinalist at Wimbledon last month, was the most surprising to go, although he was treated by a trainer for a painful back during a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 loss to 247th-ranked qualifier Maximo Gonzalez of Argentina. “It was like someone puts a knife through your lower back,” Janowicz said. Janowicz is a volatile character, and that was on full display Tuesday. He pounded two balls in anger into the stands. He swatted one serve underhand. He chucked his racket. He argued with the chair umpire. Joining him on the way out were No. 15 Nicolas Almagro, No. 25 Grigor Dimitrov and No. 28 Juan Monaco.

COLTS: GM Grigson invested plenty to protect franchise star Andrew Luck FROM PAGE B1

spin moves in practice. Ask the Giants, who went 0 for 4 in the red zone and endured six sacks in the second preseason game. Or ask Cleveland, which had only four first downs and ran only three plays — one of those a punt — in Indy territory before the starters left early in the third quarter. If first impressions mean anything, this will not be the same old Colts. SOPHOMORE SENSATIONS: Last season, Luck turned in one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history. Yes, he’s playing for his second offensive coordinator in two seasons, but Luck is no ordinary quarterback and this is no ordinary transition. Hamilton has essentially installed the same

offense he and Luck used at Stanford, and the shorter passing game should help Luck reduce the interceptions, improve his completion percentage and lower the number of hits he took a year ago. Keep an eye on secondyear receiver T.Y. Hilton, who emerged as a genuine playmaker at training camp and should play an even larger role in this offense than he did as a rookie. LINING UP: Indy’s top offseason priority was protecting Luck. General manager Ryan Grigson spent a lot of money on right tackle Gosder Cherilus and left guard Donald Thomas, who were signed in free agency. Grigson also drafted Hugh Thornton and Khaled Holmes in April. Will all these moves will work? Thornton and Holmes

have missed a lot of practice because of sprained right ankles. Cherilus and Thomas have been solid, but Colts quarterbacks have still been under duress throughout the preseason. Clearly, as Thomas recently said, the line is a work in progress. DEPTH CHARGE: Grigson also wanted to spend the offseason adding depth. In some places, such as the secondary with additions such as Greg Toler and LaRon Landry, the Colts are clearly improved. In other places, not so much. Indy is still looking for a solid option behind Wayne and Hilton at receiver. Darrius Heyward-Bey has sometimes struggled to hold onto balls. LaVon Brazill is suspended for the first four games and Grigson is still

making moves to push the other Colts’ receivers. Indy’s top two tight ends, Dwayne Allen and Coby Fleener, have struggled with injuries over the last couple of weeks, too, but should be ready for the Sept. 8 opener against Oakland. The Colts are also looking for another pass rusher to help Mathis. ON SCHEDULE: After going 2-14 and finishing with the worst record in the NFL in 2011, the Colts were the beneficiary of one of the league’s easier schedules. This year, the trendy thought is that a tougher schedule will damage Indy’s playoff hopes. Not so fast. First, these Colts are more experienced and more talented than they were a year ago. Second, they still play in the AFC South.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Colts complete 1st set of cuts INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts reached the league’s 75-man roster limit Tuesday by putting receiver Nathan Palmer on waivers, rookie safety John Boyett on the non-football injury list and receiving an exemption for linebacker Josh McNary. Palmer was expected to miss four to six weeks with a sprained MCL and will go on Indy’s injured reserve list if he clears waivers. McNary spent the past two seasons fulfilling his service commitment to the Army after graduating from West Point. Teams can get exemptions for military players who report after June 1 and do not play in preseason games. The exemption expires this weekend when rosters are trimmed to 53. Boyett is recovering from injuries to both knees that limited him to one game at Oregon last season.

Aggies mum about Manziel COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Seventh-ranked Texas A&M head into Saturday’s home opener against Rice with questions still swirling about whether Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel will play against the Owls. The NCAA is investigating whether he was paid for his autograph, a potential violation of amateurism rules that could threaten his eligibility. It was the only thing anyone really wanted to talk about on Tuesday when the Aggies addressed the media. The topic, however, was off limits. Athletic director Eric Hyman said Monday night that he’d instructed everyone in the program not to talk about Manziel. And if that wasn’t clear enough, a member of the sports information department slowly and sternly read the statement, not once, but twice during the session. Reporters asked anyway, and coach Kevin Sumlin did what Hyman asked. “We’re not discussing that,” he said. “I thought we went over that right from the beginning.” He later added that they have a plan for any number of situations that could happen with their players and team, and that they plan for the possible absence of players every week. ESPN, citing an anonymous source, reported that Manziel met with NCAA investigators over the weekend. CBSSports. com, also citing anonymous sources, reported that Manziel told the investigators he didn’t take money for his autograph. While Sumlin wouldn’t discuss Manziel’s availability for Week 1, he had no problem talking about whether football has helped the quarterback deal with everything going on off the field. “I know he likes to play football,” Sumlin said. “I think the structure that he has had since Aug. 4 has been nothing but helpful.” If Manziel doesn’t play against the Owls, the Aggies will use either junior Matt Joeckel or freshman Kenny Hill. Joeckel is more of a pocket passer and Hill is a dual-threat quarterback. Joeckel has thrown just 11 passes in his college career. Hill, who starred at Texas high school powerhouse Southlake Carroll, threw for 2,291 yards and 20 TDs and ran for 905 yards and 22 more scores as a senior last season.

Pirates acquire Byrd from Mets PITTSBURGH (AP) — A day after falling out of first place, the Pittsburgh Pirates acquired outfielder Marlon Byrd and catcher John Buck from the New York Mets on Tuesday, hoping the veterans can help the franchise to its first playoff berth in 21 years. The Pirates began the day a half-game behind St. Louis in the National League Central after the Cardinals took sole possession of first place Monday night with an 8-5 win over Cincinnati. The Pirates were idle. The Pirates sent the Mets minor league infielder Dilson Herrera and a player to be named later in exchange for Byrd, Buck and cash considerations. Pittsburgh had claimed Byrd off waivers and were able to work out the four-player deal with New York. “It’s pretty neat to see us make a move like this,” Pirates second baseman Neil Walker said. “We didn’t expect something to happen this late. You usually figure it is something that would happen at the (July 31 non-waiver) trade deadline. “But these are established guys who can help us get to where we want to go.” Byrd, 35, is hitting .285 with 21 home runs and 71 RBIs this season, including .345 with seven homers against left-handers, and will give Pittsburgh needed depth in the outfield while leadoff hitter Starling Marte recovers from a sprained right hand. Buck, 33, is batting .215 with 15 home runs and 60 RBIs. Since the beginning of the 2010 season, Buck’s 63 home runs as a catcher rank third in the majors. He will back up Russell Martin.

No charges filed vs. Pippen LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen won’t face any criminal charges after a fight with an autograph seeker outside a Malibu sushi restaurant earlier this summer, prosecutors said Tuesday. Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence against Pippen, who was dining with his family June 24 when he was approached by Camran Shafighi inside Nobu restaurant, a celebrity hangout on the beach in Malibu. They said Shafighi had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit for driving and exaggerated injuries that were deemed minor.

A fight in the alley Yes, typing for eight hours a day is a thrilling occupation. Every once in a while, just to calm down after work, I ride with a police officer on third shift. One such night recently, the officer I was riding with was called to break up a fight in the alley behind a bar in one of northeastern Indiana’s finer communities. When the officer and I pulled up, there was an enormous blob of a gentleman putting a serious thumping on a thin gray-haired man with a goatee. Once the officer had the two men separated, he knelt down to tend to the thin man, leaving me alone to talk to the MATT blob. The blob was huffing and GETTS puffing. He weighed maybe 800 pounds. He wore a suit that looked like he had slept in it the night before, then did a 10-hour day at a rendering plant before passing out in his own vomit. He stunk of drink and stale cigarettes. Even in the dimly lit alley, he looked like a coronary waiting to happen. He hitched up his pants when he saw me staring at him. “Don’t you know who you’re looking at?” he asked. I shrugged. Everyone has a story, but the kind of person fighting in an alley at 3 a.m. rarely has one rational enough to listen to. He bent over, and at first I thought he was going to lose whatever supper he’d managed between drinks. Instead, he picked up a cigarette butt and fished a lighter from his pocket. He lit what was left of the smoke. “I’m government,” he said gruffly. “And if you don’t watch it, you’ll be next.” He tossed his head in the direction of the thin man still prone on the ground five yards away. “Government?” He nodded, the cherry on the cigarette showing his gray face in a weird glow. “Let me guess,” I said. “Federal?” He blew out a plume of smoke. “Federal.” “Sorry, but you are disgusting,” I said. “Tell me about it,” the man shrugged. “I haven’t had a real cleansing in a couple hundred years. I get bigger and bigger and bigger. Kind of hard to fight the momentum, you know?” “Pathetic,” I answered. He held up the hand with the lit cigarette. “But necessary. I used to be the guy everybody turned to. You should have seen me at my fighting weight. There wasn’t anything I couldn’t do. I was something.” “Then what happened to you?” The man shrugged, then leaned against a wall that had seen more urine than paint of late. “Too many fights. Too much responsibility.” “So you turned to excess?” “I didn’t ask to take care of everything. One day, there it all was. I had to put on weight so I’d have the energy to take it all on.” The night closed around him some, and he flicked the cigarette onto the ground. It burst into a small shower of sparks before dying out. “Mind if I ask what brings you to this neck of the woods?” “Hiding out,” he said, bending over for another cigarette butt. “The politicians are thinking of another shutdown, cutting off my funding entirely in early October.” “Maybe they should,” I suggested. “That’s why I’m hiding out,” he said, straightening back up with a large groan and a belch. “Half the politicians want me to cut my weight, the other other half want to keep piling it on. And even the half that want me to cut back want to cut from different areas. I’m getting pulled in about a billion different directions. “And everybody blames me. Like I created this mess myself. Hideous as I am, I am their creation.” He belched again, lighting another used cigarette butt with shaky fingers. “Maybe I get the hiding out part, but why are you in this alley?” “I’m not welcome in any church,” he said wryly. “Or maybe it’s the other way around. What would you do if you had the weight of a country on your shoulders and not enough strength to carry it anymore? You would want to tie one on, too.” “But fighting?” The blob shook his enormous head. “That’s Uncle Sam. Every night, he reminds me of what I’m supposed to be. And every night he picks and picks and picks at me until I can’t take it any more.” “Why not change?” Government straightened his shoulders, leaning back against the wall again. “Nobody wants to take a real look at me. It’s too hard a fix.” “Pathetic,” I said again. “Tell me about it,” he said. “You got any spare change on you? I’m all tapped out and I’m almost sober.”

My chicken, myself and Rep. King’s amendment WASHINGTON — In one of the early episodes of “Portlandia,” the satirical show that makes fun of all things Portland, Ore., a couple dining out interviews the waitress about their potential chicken dinner. Specifically, they want to know details of the chicken’s diet (sheep’s milk, soy and hazelnuts), his free-roaming privileges and roaming area (four acres), whether he had friends and was a happy chicken, and so on. Their server answers patiently, even producing Colin’s papers. Colin, that is, the chicken. So goes the joke on people who get a tad carried away about the quality of life of the animals whose slaughter they ultimately condone and whose flesh they consume. It was, if you’ll pardon the expression, delicious. But the reality side of the factory farm story isn’t so tasty. Humane treatment of animals, whether being bred as pets or for display in grocery stores, is a work in progress, the relatively few successes of which are meager testament to our own humanity. Inasmuch as the way people treat animals reveals their character, the way we mass produce animals for human consumption reveals much about our nation’s character. That character is being tested even now on Capitol Hill. While most eyes this summer have been riveted by human bloodshed from Syria to Egypt, a handful of animal rights advocates has been glued to the farm bill, which, you’ll recall, became controversial when House Republicans severed a food stamp provision that customarily was attached. What may have escaped much notice, however, is an amendment by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, that would pre-empt state and local laws governing food production and other animal-related industries, including puppy mills, confinement of farm animals, animal fighting, shark finning, and the sale of meat from horses, dogs and cats.

Despite strong opposition from animal rights groups as well as more than 200 fellow House and Senate members, King has invoked the Commerce Clause to defend his amendment. He avers that having so many different laws in different places violates the federal government’s authority to regulate interstate commerce. One of the problems, as he sees it, is that states such as California that have strong laws about how chickens must be raised (enough room in a cage to stand KATHLEEN and spread their wings) can impose their standards on PARKER other states that sell their egg products in California. “The impact of their large market would compel producers in every other state to invest billions to meet the California standard of ‘means of production.’” King, whose legislative history regarding animal welfare is poster material for cruelty (and dunder-headedness) — he thinks dogfighting is fine and children ought to be able to watch — also promises that his amendment will put an end to “radical organizations” such as the Humane Society of the United States and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA.) I probably should confess that I love anything with a heartbeat and there is no humane treatment I could imagine opposing. Do I think we should play classical music for cows as they amble to the slaughter? Oh, why not, if it makes them less anxious? More to the point, is making a hen’s cage a little larger really so cost-prohibitive that we can’t manage to make a miserable life a tiny bit less miserable? Is someone’s taste for foie gras so worthy of protection that we condone force-feeding cruelly confined ducks until their livers bloat and

• become diseased? The list of humans’ cruelty to animals is too long and too horrible for this space. The fact that some states aim to protect animals seems to me cause for celebration rather than federal opposition. Here’s a thought: Instead of trying to undo what some have done in the spirit of a more humane society, why not encourage other states to become part of the movement? King, perhaps, represents a certain contingent that holds to a biblical view that animals don’t deserve the same consideration as humans. As King said in his defense of dogfighting, there’s something wrong when we outlaw dogfights but allow people to fight. The obvious difference is that people who step into the ring have a choice in the matter — and state-sanctioned torture of animals would seem to undermine the notion that humans are of greater value to the Divine. The fate of King’s amendment will be determined when Congress reconvenes in September. For now, dozens of animal rights organizations, as well as the head of the National Conference of State Legislators, are lobbying hard to kill it. Humanely, of course.

Examining the state of the state fair It used to be that if your body was tattooed from head to toe, you wore large hoop earrings and 50 necklaces, sported a beard and rode a unicycle, the only job you could get was in a circus sideshow, or running a midway ride for a traveling carnival. Now, you can be a basketball player, a famous chef, a star in a reality show, or you could just be an admission-paying visitor to the state fair — without being one of the attractions. Of course, the visitors to the state fair are, at least for me, the big attractions. That, and rabbits the size of small cars, cows the size of big cars and chickens that look as if they are wearing hats in a royal wedding. But still, the animals come in a distant second to the people. What kind of crazy, nutty, fruitcake-batty person do you have to be to eat a deep-fat fried Oreo? Oh yeah — me. It’s the state fair. You gotta do it. At first, my goal this year was to spend the day only eating food that came on a stick. But except for the traditional

corn dog and the ever-popular chocolate-covered frozen banana, the on-a-stick pickings were slim. I’m nothing if not adaptable, and quickly changed my goal to only eating things that were deep-fat fried. Now, you don’t have to go to the fair to eat JIM state deep-fat fried French MULLEN food. fries and fried chicken are available almost everywhere, as are blooming onions and fried clams. But until someone opens a chain of franchises called “International House of Funnel Cakes” or “Fried Twinkie Hut,” you pretty much have to go to a state or county fair to scratch that particular itch. Sure, there are always new culinary innovations, many including bacon — chicken-fried bacon, roasted bacon-wrapped corn, chocolate-covered bacon. But the new height of fryolator art

•

is more than simply selecting a foodstuff, dipping it in batter, tossing it into a wire basket and lowering it to its greasy death. Like a pickle or a BLT, it is a combination of unlikely things. I am talking about a peanut butter, bacon and banana bomb. The vendor’s menu featured a long list of the usual suspects for frying: Oreos, Twinkies, Snickers bars. But at the bottom it said, “Peanut butter, bacon and banana.” “Is that a sandwich?” I asked. “No,” said a young man holding a fistful of five-dollar bills. It’s peanut butter, bacon and banana.” It was hard to picture what I would actually be getting for my money, but there was a long line behind me and a few insulting stage whispers about me holding things up. “I’ll take one.” The cashier takes my bill and yells over his shoulder to the cook, “One Dead Elvis!” Seconds later I was handed a softball-sized blob of hot, fried goodness on a paper plate. The goodness was not the banana. A deep-fat fried banana tastes

like baby food. The peanut butter was problematic, too. Hot peanut butter hits the relatively cool roof of your mouth and solidifies into a protective shell. It takes the work of a finger, a mirror and a spork to remove it. I probably should have used my own finger, but I do want to thank the stranger who finally pulled it out. The bacon, however, was sublime. A poem of pork, a song of swine, a melody of meat. Perfect with cheesy fries and a non-vintage red wine slurpy. Of course, nothing lasts forever. The hottest thing in novelty food right now is the cronut — the head-on collision of a croissant and a donut — and it has people standing in block-long lines in the few big cities that have it. Next year, you can bet it will be the hot new thing on the carnival, county and state fair circuit. Can the Dead Elvis stand up to the challenge?

Briefs • Facebook claims government sought data on 38K users WASHINGTON (AP) — Government agents in 74 countries demanded information on about 38,000 Facebook users in the first half of this year, with about half the orders coming from authorities in the United States, the company said Tuesday. The social-networking giant is the latest technology company to release figures on how often governments seek information about its customers. Microsoft and Google have done the same. As with the other companies, it’s hard to discern much from Facebook’s data, besides the fact that, as users around the globe flocked to the world’s largest social network, police and intelligence agencies followed.

Caroline Kennedy to join March on Washington rally WASHINGTON (AP) — Caroline Kennedy is joining the lineup of speakers commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington at the Lincoln Memorial. Organizers say Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, will speak Wednesday, along with Lynda Johnson Robb, the daughter of President Lyndon Johnson. Other speakers include Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker, Jamie Foxx, President Barack Obama and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Performers will include singers BeBe Winans, LeAnn Rimes and the girl group Identity4Pop, among others.

Mounting tensions with Syria sink stocks NEW YORK (AP) — Fears of an escalating conflict in Syria rippled across financial markets on Tuesday, sinking stocks, lifting gold and pushing the price of oil to the highest in a year and a half. A day after Secretary of State John Kerry said there was “undeniable” evidence of a large-scale chemical attack in Syria, tensions between the U.S. and the regime of Bashar Assad mounted. Defense Secretary Chuck Hegel said the U.S. military was ready to strike if President Barrack Obama gave the order. Syria’s foreign minister said his country would defend itself. The threats raised worries on Wall Street that the U.S. was more likely to attack Syria.

People • Gomez: Don’t ask what Swift said at VMAs LOS ANGELES (AP) — Did Taylor Swift really utter an expletive to Selena Gomez when One Direction and former love interest Harry Styles took the stage for the MTV Video Music Awards? Don’t ask Selena Gomez Gomez. Swift’s seemingly foul-mouthed reaction shot lit up social networks and became an instant GIF. But Gomez reprimanded a reporter who asked what Swift said at the premiere of Gomez’s new film, “Getaway,” on Monday. “Don’t try that with me,” Gomez told him. The young star later said that she’s protective of her friends. “I think girls need to be more supportive of each other. I definitely agree with that. I’m all about that,” she said. “Taylor has been one of those girls. We have been friends for five years. She is very strong. She doesn’t care what people think and she inspires me.”

Progress made against Yosemite-area fire TUOLUMNE CITY, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters gained some ground Tuesday against the huge wildfire burning forest lands in the western Sierra Nevada, including parts of Yosemite National Park. The 11-day-old blaze expanded to about 280 square miles, partly due to back burning by crews, but containment jumped to 20 percent. The portion of the fire in Yosemite doubled to about 64 square miles but remained in backcountry, and the main attractions in the nearly 1,200-squaremile park remained open. “The next couple of days are really going to be key for us,” said California fire spokesman Daniel Berlant. “If the weather cooperates, and we see an increase in containment, we could really turn a corner on this stubborn fire.” The fire — now the seventh-largest California wildfire in records dating to 1932 — was threatening about 4,500 structures and has destroyed at least 23. Thousands of firefighters have arrived since the fire erupted Aug. 17 west of Yosemite in the Stanislaus National Forest, where the slopes of the Sierra begin to rise above the eastern side of California’s Central Valley. An expected increase in humidity Tuesday afternoon could help suppress flames, said Matt Mehle, a National Weather Service meteorologist assigned to the fire. Crews planned to focus Tuesday on the portion

of the fire threatening communities in the north. The fire approached the main reservoir serving San Francisco, but fears that the inferno could disrupt water or hydroelectric power to the city diminished. Utility officials monitored the basin’s clarity and used a new $4.6 billion gravity-operated pipeline system to move water quickly to reservoirs closer to the city. So far the ash that has fallen onto the reservoir has not sunk as far as the intake valves, which are about halfway down the 300-foot O’Shaughnessy Dam. Utility officials said the ash is non-toxic but that the city will begin filtering water for customers if problems are detected. Power generation there was shut down last week so firefighters would not be imperiled by live wires. San Francisco is buying replacement power from other sources to run City Hall and municipal buildings. It has been at least 17 years since fire ravaged the northernmost stretch of Yosemite that now is under siege. Crews cleared brush and set sprinklers on two groves of giant sequoias that were less than 10 miles away from the fire’s front lines, said park spokesman Scott Gediman. While sequoias have a chemical in their bark to help them resist fire, they can be damaged when flames move through slowly with such intense heat.

The Rim Fire burns along Highway 120 near Yosemite National Park, Calif., on Sunday. With winds gusting and flames jumping from treetop to treetop, hundreds of

The fire has swept through steep Sierra Nevada river canyons and stands of thick oak and pine, closing in on Tuolumne City and other mountain communities. It has confounded ground crews with its 300-foot walls of flame and the way it has jumped from treetop to treetop. Meanwhile, biologists with the Forest Service

firefighters have been deployed to protect communities in the path of the Rim Fire raging north of Yosemite National Park.

are studying the effect on wildlife. Much of the area that has burned is part of the state’s winter-range deer habitat. Biologist Crispin Holland said most of the large deer herds would still be well above the fire danger. Biologists discovered stranded Western pond turtles on national forest land near the edge of Yosemite. Their marshy

meadow had burned, and the surviving creatures were huddled in the middle of the expanse in what little water remained. “We’re hoping to deliver some water to those turtles,” Holland said. “We might also drag some brush in to give them cover.” Wildlife officials were also trying to monitor at least four bald eagle nests in the fire-stricken area.

Fort Hood gunman won’t call witnesses, testify FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — The Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood decided not to call witnesses or testify Tuesday during his trial’s penalty phase, which is his last chance to plead for his life before the jury begins deliberating whether to sentence him to death. Maj. Nidal Hasan, who is acting as his own attorney, told the judge he was resting his case without submitting evidence, calling witnesses or testifying in his own defense. The judge then dismissed jurors, who convicted Hasan last week for the November 2009 shooting rampage that

also wounded more than 30 people at the Texas military base. But shortly after the jury left the courtroom, the judge asked Hasan more than two dozen questions in rapid fire, affirming that he knew what he was doing. His answers were succinct and just as rapid. “It is my personal decision,” he said. “It is free and voluntary.” The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, then read him several court opinions to back up her decision not to introduce evidence in Hasan’s favor on her own. “In other words, Maj. Hasan, you are the captain of your own ship,” Osborn said.

She said closing arguments would begin Wednesday. Whether Hasan will address jurors then remains unclear. Hasan rested his case shortly after more than a dozen widows, mothers, fathers, children and other relatives of those killed testified about their lives since the attack. Prosecutors hope the emotion testimony helps convince jurors to hand down a rare military death sentence. Hasan has put up nearly no defense since the trial began three weeks ago. He also called no witnesses and didn’t testify in his own defense before he was convicted, and he questioned only three

of prosecutors’ nearly 90 witnesses. Although he gave a brief opening statement, during which he acknowledged that the evidence would show he was the shooter, he gave no closing argument. But through media leaks and statements to the judge, the Americanborn Muslim appeared to justify the attack as a way to protect Islamic leaders from U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Hasan released a report to the media during the trial that showed he told military mental health workers after the attack that he believed he could still be a martyr if convicted and executed by

the government. Prosecutors want Hasan to join just five other U.S. service members currently on military death row. The jury of 13 military officers must be unanimous for such a death sentence, and prosecutors must prove an aggravating factor and present evidence to show the severity of Hasan’s crimes. No American soldier has been executed since 1961. Many military death row inmates have had their sentences overturned on appeal, which are automatic when jurors vote for the death penalty. The president also must eventually approve a military death sentence.

Tax cut battle intensifies Agencies at odds over JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Millions of dollars spent broadcasting ads. Alarming fliers and phone calls targeting homes. Politicians barnstorming from one press conference to the next. By most measures, Missouri appears in the midst of another high-stakes election — except there is nothing on the ballot this year. The massive campaign is meant to persuade — or dissuade — a few wavering Missouri lawmakers who will decide in September whether to override the governor’s veto of the state’s first income tax rate cut in nearly a century. The Missouri battle is one of the most the intense yet in what has become a nationwide offensive by conservatives in state capitols to slice the income taxes that for decades have formed the financial foundation for government services ranging from public schools to prisons. They contend the tax cuts are the path to economic prosperity. Others forecast financial ruin. About a dozen states already have cut income taxes this year, including sweeping changes to tax codes in Kansas and North Carolina and a ratcheting down of rates in Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin. Conservative lawmakers who gathered at a conference this month in Chicago received a how-to pep talk meant to spread the tax-cutting movement even further in 2014. “This is a national agenda

— there’s a lot of other people that have interest in trying to create jobs in America,” said Travis Brown, a St. Louis-based lobbyist and convention speaker who has traveled to 29 states this year promoting lower income taxes. One of Brown’s biggest benefactors, retired investment firm executive Rex Sinquefield, has poured about $2.4 million into an advertising campaign meant to encourage Missouri’s Republican-led Legislature to override Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon’ veto of the tax cut. The campaign includes the state’s biggest businesses associations and conservative activist groups such as the Missouri Club for Growth, which has threatened to drop support of any lawmaker who opposes the tax cut. The tax-cut plan even has gotten the attention of Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a potential 2016 presidential candidate who seized upon Nixon’s veto to target Missouri with TV and radio ads recruiting businesses to Texas. Perry is to headline an event Thursday in suburban St. Louis sponsored by a coalition pushing for a veto override. Opponents of the tax cut have responded with mass mailings and phone calls targeting residents in 15 House districts whose Republican legislators seemed susceptible to being swayed. They have been aided by public school

boards warning the tax-cut would jeopardize education funding and undermine the economy. Nixon added leverage to his veto by withholding $400 million from education, building projects and other services because of concerns that the tax cut would bust a hole in the budget. The governor said he would release the money only if lawmakers sustain his veto. During the past six weeks, Nixon has held roughly 30 public events to rally support for his veto. “We’ve worked very hard over the last four years to hold the line on taxes; we’re one of the lowest taxation states in the country,” Nixon said recently. But “this bill is not the right way to go about it.” The state school boards’ association has warned of consequences such as crowded classrooms and lower graduation rates. The Missouri measure would gradually cut the corporate income tax rate nearly in half and lower the top individual tax rate from 6 percent to 5.5 percent over the next decade, but only if state revenues rise by at least $100 million annually. It also would phase in a 50 percent tax deduction for business income reported on individual tax returns and increase deductions for low-income individuals. It would trigger even more income tax cuts if Congress passes a measure making it easier for states to tax online sales.

refinery fire probe WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal government is fighting with itself over a massive fire at a Chevron refinery in California that sent 15,000 people to hospitals with respiratory ailments. In one corner is the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, which conducted 119 interviews in an effort to find out what caused last year’s accident and how to prevent it from happening again. In the other is the Environmental Protection Agency, which is conducting a criminal investigation and wants the interviews to help it determine who’s responsible. The 7-month-old document dispute has become so contentious that the safety board, headed by Rafael Moure-Eraso, went to court in an effort to quash grand jury subpoenas that federal prosecutors issued on behalf of the EPA, according to correspondence obtained by The Associated Press. Efforts to reach a compromise have failed so far. The fight between the board and the EPA illustrates how two vital public priorities — promoting safety and punishing violators — can be at odds with each other. While bureaucratic turf battles are a way of life in government, it is unusual for such disagreements to result in a subpoena fight.

The chemical board does not conduct criminal investigations, but relies on cooperation from industry workers to carry out its mission of pinpointing the causes of accidents and recommending ways to avoid them. In contrast, the EPA has a division with 200 agents whose job it is to prosecute criminal conduct that threatens people’s health and the environment. The board “has been working diligently with the Department of Justice to seek alternatives to release of the Chevron accident witness statements,” Moure-Eraso said in a statement. “Requiring the CSB to turn over these interviews and notes where they would be used to draft criminal charges and for prosecution purposes would likely have a devastating effect on our work.” The Aug. 6, 2012, accident at Chevron’s Richmond refinery 10 miles northeast of San Francisco sent clouds of gas and black smoke billowing over residential neighborhoods. In the weeks after, some 15,000 people were sent to hospitals with breathing problems. Chevron has paid $10 million to settle 24,000 claims from residents and to compensate area hospitals and local government agencies.

Some not calling 911 due to fear of publicity DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine was a victim of domestic violence. When I asked her why she didn’t phone 911 for help, her response was, “They play those 911 calls on the radio all the time.” She didn’t want her prominent husband’s career damaged by adverse publicity. Today, a group of us discussed the issue over breakfast. Many of the women said that because of the popularity of 911 calls being broadcast on the Internet, radio and TV, they’d be hesitant to phone for help when needed, too. Abby, someone is going to suffer serious harm out of fear that their call for help will be publicized. Do you know what can be done about this new “drama entertainment”? I wouldn’t want my terrified call heard by the public either, so I’d take my chances without calling for help. I just hope

Almanac •

DEAR DOCTOR K: I recently had a prostate biopsy and was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now my doctor wants to do an MRI. Why? What new information will the MRI provide? DEAR READER: I can understand why you’re puzzled. A biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer, so why do you need any other test? In a biopsy, bits of tissue are removed from different areas of your prostate gland. They are examined with a microscope to see if there are cancerous cells. If the biopsy shows cancer, the diagnosis has been made. The biopsy also can help determine how aggressive the cancer will be and how likely it is to spread. The biopsy tells you for sure if you have prostate cancer. But it doesn’t tell you everything you need to know

I don’t wake up dead one day as a result. — PUBLICITY-SHY IN FLORIDA DEAR PUBLICITY-SHY: Nothing can be done about “drama entertainment” as long as the public has an appetite for it. The DEAR reason for ABBY the practice of “if it bleeds, it in Jeanne Phillips leads” the media is that it draws viewers and listeners — which means advertising revenue. In the case of domestic violence, calling 911 is the lesser of two evils. Out-of-control abusers have been known to maim and kill the ones they “love.”

is and what treatment will be best. Many new techniques are under development to improve the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. New types of blood tests can spot prostate cancer cells that have escaped from the prostate gland and are circulating in the blood and threatening to lodge in bones. Biopsy specimens are not only being examined under a microscope; they also are being studied to see what genes are turned on and off in the cancerous tissue. These “gene expression” patterns are likely to point to the best treatment. Finally, new MRI imaging techniques are in development. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
