GOOD MORNING Fort Wayne man arrested in man’s fatal beating FORT WAYNE (AP) — A Fort Wayne man has been arrested on charges alleging that he pummeled another man to death after knocking him unconscious. Twenty-eight-year-old Steven L. Lemler was arrested Friday on a preliminary involuntary manslaughter charge. He’s being held at the Allen County Jail on a $10,000 bond. Court documents say Lemler attacked and knocked out 42-year-old Kirk D. Lecount on July 17 because he believed Lecount had insulted a woman drinking with them and others in a backyard. Witnesses told police that after another person placed the unconscious man in a recliner chair Lemler punched Lecount in the face up to three more times and hit him in the head with a cooler. An autopsy found that Lecount died from blunt-force injuries to the head.

Murder suspect back in U.S. Mahfuz Huq, wanted for 1989 Steuben murder, returns from India BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — A man on the run from Steuben County authorities for more than two decades is back on Indiana soil after he was returned to the United States Saturday. Murder suspect Mahfuz Huq was returned to Indiana this afternoon by FBI authorities, said a news release from Steuben County Sheriff Tim Troyer. Huq was wanted for the Aug. 9, 1989, murder of Todd Kelley, 19, of
Hamilton. “I’m happy for the family that they’ll finally get their day in court,” Troyer said. Saturday at approximately 12:40 p.m. Huq, in the custody of federal agents, arrived at the Huq Indianapolis International Airport. Huq was returned to the U.S. from New Dehli, where he was in custody at
the Tihar Prison system pending extradition. He was arrested in New Dehli Feb. 13, 2011. Huq was taken into custody by Marion County Indiana Sheriff’s Deputies from federal authorities upon landing in Indianapolis on a Steuben Superior Court warrant of murder at the request of Troyer. Huq was taken to the Marion County Sheriff’s Department medical holding facility pending a routine examination by staff. “Due to Mr. Huq’s unknown medical care background while housed in a foreign prison system, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office is best equipped and staffed to take temporary custody of Mr. Huq for observations prior to his return to

School’s closed — lunch is open BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
For a child, summer brings freedom from the rigors of the school year, endless hours of splashing at the community pool and miles of peddling a bicycle. For some families, though, summer also brings about fear of how they’ll pull together a meal for a child who generally is served
at school. Enter summer food programs. The Summer Food Service Program for Children was launched in Indiana in 1975, created to serve children in the summer months when school meals are not traditionally available. More recently, a push was made to reignite the program to reach more children in need of

Troops abroad remain legacies of war
Ind. sheriff suspends 3 deputies in probe COLUMBUS (AP) — A central Indiana sheriff has suspended three deputies for what he calls “errors in judgment” during an investigation into the death of a man married to the ex-wife of one of the officers. Bartholomew County Sheriff Mark Gorbett said Friday that Sgt. Dean Johnson, then-Detective Christie Nunemaker and Deputy E. DeWayne Janes violated department procedures, failed to correctly manage the death scene and properly preserve evidence. The deputies investigated the April 7 death of Cary Owsley, who died at home of a gunshot wound to the chest. Owsley was married to Deputy Janes’ ex-wife, but despite that conflict Janes entered the death scene and helped remove Owsley’s body.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A truce stopped the fighting in Korea that once threatened to spread into a world war whose outcome might have been decided by nuclear weapons. Sixty years later, the costs of the Korean War continue to mount even amid relative peace. Hostility lingers between the North and South and between the North and the United States, which still has no formal diplomatic relations with the communist nation in spite of the war’s end on July 27, 1953. That ongoing antagonism is rooted in the U.S. commitment to take a leading role in assisting the South should war break out again on the Korean Peninsula. Washington has tried for years to wean its ally off its dependence on the U.S. military by setting a target date for switching from American to Korean control of the forces that would defend the country in the event North Korea again attacked the South. That target date has slipped from 2012 to 2015 and, just this past week, American officials said the Koreans are informally expressing interest in pushing it back still further. Another powerful legacy from the 1950-53 conflict is more personal for Americans: the seemingly endless SEE LEGACIES, PAGE A8

Three dead in Indy bus crash INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A bus carrying teenagers returning to Indiana from a church camp in Michigan crashed Saturday afternoon just minutes from home, killing three people and sending 26 others to hospitals, officials said. The bus came speeding off of Interstate 465 in northern Indianapolis, about a mile from the Colonial Hills Baptist Church that passengers attended, struck a retaining wall as it rounded a curve and overturned. The campers were returning from Camp CoBeAc in northern Michigan, about six hours away. The church’s youth pastor had sent a tweet a couple of hours before the crash saying the group was expected to arrive at the church about 4:15 p.m., around the time the accident happened. “They were not that far from home. That only adds to the tragedy,� said Indianapolis Public Safety Director Troy Riggs. The dead included a man and his wife, Riggs said. Authorities did not provide information about the third victim. Riggs and Mayor Greg
Ballard visited the crash scene, where clothing, pillows and seat cushions from the bus were scattered along with at least two shattered windows, before they headed to the church. Riggs said there was no indication that the driver had a medical emergency and called the accident “a great tragedy.� Ballard said investigators were taking measurements and examining the bus to determine the cause of the crash. WTHR-TV reported the bus driver told witnesses his brakes failed. Indianapolis Fire Department Lt. Ato McTush said police and fire officials had not determined whether the church-owned bus, which was carrying 37 passengers plus the driver, had mechanical issues. Duane Lloyd told WTHR that he heard a loud noise behind him as he was traveling near the intersection and saw the crash around 4:15 p.m. “I heard a skid. I looked back. I see this bus in the air and people falling out of the bus,� Lloyd said. “I could have gone my whole life without seeing that.� Karen Woodard, a
member of Colonial Hills Baptist Church, cried as she stared at the wrecked bus. “It’s so terrible. I can’t believe it,� she said. Indianapolis Fire Department said crews had to free five people who were trapped inside after the crash. Several people stopped to help before first responders could arrive, including one man who helped pull the driver out of the bus, the department said. “People were stopping their cars. People were literally trying to lift the bus,� Lloyd said. “You just try to do what you can do.� Fire officials said the injured included children and adults. Nine teenagers were taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital, including one in critical condition. Three of those were treated and released, hospital spokeswoman Sally Winter said. She said 10 others, including nine teenagers and a toddler, were taken to Riley Hospital for Children. Seven of those teenagers were treated and released, Winter said. Many of the patients were suffering head, arm and leg injuries, fire officials said. Roads near the scene were
closed, and authorities urged people to use caution in the area. A hazardous materials crew was cleaning up diesel fuel that spilled in the crash. Outside the church, a yellow school bus with the church school’s name was parked outside with piles of sleeping bags and suitcases nearby. Families hugged outside and talked quietly before going inside, where they met with Ballard and Riggs Saturday evening. Ballard described the families as “remarkably positive� despite their sorrow. “Some of the teenagers are hurting pretty bad and you can see that in their faces,� he said. Church member Jeff Leffew, 44, of Fishers, who had three daughters on the bus that crashed and a fourth on a second bus, said he was waiting to pick them up in the church parking lot when the second bus arrived. He said he knew immediately that something was wrong because the kids on the bus were screaming. He went to the crash scene and found his three daughters with only bumps and bruises. He called the crash scene “surreal.�

Chapman’s Brewing Co. nears launch of new ale cider

Stone Groosbeck, in wheelchair, holds the lead to his feeder steer that sold for a record $1,400 at the Steuben County 4-H Fair auction on Thursday. Pictured with him are buyers and helpers, including Eric Perkins, Sherry Holiday, Ralph McKee, Miss Steuben County Rebecca Kain and in front with Groosbeck, Little Mister Randy Harpel and Little Miss Nadia Cline.
Records fall in 4-H livestock auction CROOKED LAKE — Records were tumbling Thursday at the Steuben County 4-H Fair auction, the final event of the fair. Among those receiving record amounts for their animals was Stone Groosbeck, a first-year 4-H’er from Prairie Heights High School. A wheelchair user, he needed assistance from friends to show his beef feeder steer, for which he received a blue ribbon. “It was kind of exciting,” Groosbeck said as he waited to get his photo taken with buyers of his animal. “Fun, but exhausting.” Another first-year 4-H’er, Harper Henney, 9, broke the record for sheep, selling her glitter-covered Hampshire wether for $3,500 to beat the $3,000 record set in 2008 by Audra Burlingame.
Lakeland schools building new office LAGRANGE — Construction on the Lakeland school district’s new administration building will begin within the next couple of weeks. School board members opened five bids Monday night and approved Fort Wayne construction company Hamilton Hunter’s bid of $910,565 to build the new office. The new administration building will be on the southeast corner of the high school property. The school’s administrators currently work out of an office building tucked behind Parkside Elementary school, a location many school parents have complained is difficult to find. The new building is expected to be complete in early 2014, and school officials say they could be moved in by late February or early March.
County orders cleanup of mobile home park AUBURN — The DeKalb County commissioners on Monday demand that owners of a badly deteriorated mobile home park take action on cleaning the site. They set a deadline of 30 days to begin cleaning Hidden Valley Mobile Home Park, just east of the DeKalb-Noble county line on S.R. 8. Virginia-based ATCF REO Holdings LLC owns the park, according to the county assessor’s office. Among the handful of mobile homes still at the site, each is missing exterior and interior walls and stripped to its frame. Many still have abandoned recliners and mattresses inside. The ground around them is littered in layers of discarded furniture and household items, trash, debris and other materials.
Prince William, Kate have royal son LONDON (AP) — Prince William’s wife, Kate, has given birth to a prince who is now third in line to the British throne. The child was born Monday afternoon, after many Britons woke up to the news that Kate, also known as the Duchess of Cambridge, had gone into labor with the couple’s first child. The royal birth announcement said the boy was born at 4:24 p.m. weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces. William was present for the birth, the statement said. .
New law cuts synthetic drug overdoses INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Poison Center has seen big drops in the number of reported overdoses from synthetic drug abuse since state laws banning the drugs known by names such as “bath salts” and “spice” took effect. The latest poison center report shows an 86 percent decrease in reported overdoses.
The legend of John Chapman, aka Johnny Appleseed, looms large in northeast Indiana. A minor-league baseball team is named for his distinctive — and multifunctional — choice of head ware. A park and annual festival in Fort Wayne bear his name. So popular is Chapman that he has not one but two grave sites. And in about a month, beer lovers in the region may raise their pints to toast a new venture borne from the ever-wandering orchard planter’s legacy. Inside the building at 300 Industrial Drive in Angola, a gleaming silver fermenting tank holds 3,100 gallons of Chapman Brewing Co.’s ale cider. Once production is fully up and running, the startup company hopes to take a small bite out of the U.S. beer-drinking market, in which 2,300 bottles are consumed every second of every day. Chapman’s ale cider is exactly that — ale that is fermented with apple cider. The end result is a beverage that has the coloring, head and complex flavors of an ale, but with the slight sweetness of apple. Scott Fergusson, founder of Chapman’s and dean of the Ketner School of Business at Trine University in Angola, recalled how the, um, seed was planted. “I was at a football game for the school and I was asking some of the local business leaders …, ‘Hey, what do we do around here? What are some of the things that this area is known for, other than the beautiful lakes and sort of resort culture?’ “And then one guy in the group said, ‘Well, apples. We grow a lot of apples here.’ And I didn’t know that.” Fergusson, a Trine alumnus and entrepreneur who had started a financial-services technology company in Fort Wayne that he wound up selling to a firm in New York City, began thinking. Maybe he could start a cider business. Through a relationship Trine had forged with a Scottish company looking to move into the United States, he and some of his business students visited Scotland and sampled its ciders. Most of them, he said, were similar to each other. “Most of the different ones we tried really didn’t have anything distinctive about them,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s apples and yeast.” Yet cider, because of its sweetness, is a growing part of the overall beer market. So Fergusson talked to John Wagner, head of the chemical engineering department at Trine and a home brewer, explaining his desire to create a more sophisticated take on cider, something that would appeal to craft-beer enthusiasts. Wagner put on his R&D hat and went to work. With his fourth attempt, Fergusson knew they’d hit on something special. At the same time, Fergusson had been talking

about some of his business ideas — including the ale cider — with Dan Caruso, co-owner of Caruso Enterprises and Caruso’s Restaurant, who now serves as Chapman’s vice president of product. “This one just really got traction with me,” Caruso said. “I felt I had a pretty good understanding of the retail market side of the alcohol industry and how undersupplied in craft brewing northeast Indiana was. “The melding of the two (ale and cider) just really intrigued me.” Fergusson approached investors, raising $500,000 by selling a 10-percent stake in the company. He donated 5 percent of the company to Trine. Earlier this year, Chapman’s received tax abatements totaling $550,000 from the city of Angola on its building and equipment investments, which Fergusson said have surpassed $1 million. The business plan for Chapman’s, Fergusson said, is to have the necessary

equipment in place to quickly scale up production, and the company’s facility has room for expansion. Through a process guided by head brewer Dan Case, Chapman’s begins making its ale cider by turning malted barley into a wort, pumping the wort into a brew kettle and then adding hops. The mixture is then transferred to a fermentor, where the cider is added. Chapman’s ale cider undergoes two stages of fermentation, with the yeast first feeding on the simple sugars in the cider before moving on to the complex sugars of the ale. “That’s what gives it the complexity, the fuller, more sophisticated taste,” Fergusson said. The apples used for Chapman’s cider primarily come from Michigan and Washington. The malted barley is from the United Kingdom, the hops hail from the Pacific Northwest and the water is from the city of Angola, which is then softened and put through reverse-osmosis filtration.
Fergusson said in the future, Chapman’s would like to come out with limited releases of ale cider showcasing locally grown apples, and the company could produce other fruit-infused ales. “We think that we’ve got something that we can riff off of in a number of different ways,” he said. Chapman’s ale cider stays in the doubled-walled fermentor for two weeks before it’s canned or put in kegs, with a final alcohol by volume content of about 6 1/2 percent. Fegusson said the company settled on aluminum cans instead of bottles because of all the brewers he talked to, they all said if they could start over again they would choose cans as they eliminate light and oxygen, which can affect the taste of beer. In addition, cans are 100-percent recyclable, and a semiload of cans burns one-third less diesel fuel than a similar load of bottled beer. And with modern, lined beer cans, there’s no unpleasant metallic aftertaste.

Jackie and Roger Newman at their daughter Melissa Baker’s wedding.
Couple leaves behind family farm BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN olehman@kpcnews.net
KENDALLVILLE — When Jackie Newman and her husband, Roger, bought his LaGrange County family farm, they didn’t realize the road to keeping it would be so difficult. Bad weather, declining land values and low crop prices led to a letter threatening foreclosure in the 1980s. To make ends meet, he drove a semi nearly 120,000 miles a year while Jackie kept the home together. Their two daughters, Devon Hutson and Melissa Baker, said their parents’ commitment and dedication to each other made the farm work. Baker said she looks back at her childhood, never realizing the struggles. In 1990, the family took a motorcycle trip to California. Their father had a love of motorcycles and built a double-wide sidecar so his wife and daughters could ride together. The family visited national parks, drove through rainstorms, went camping and saw the country. “My parents may have worked hard and struggled, but they also knew the value of fun and good experiences in life,” Baker said. Roger and Jackie met while working at Starcraft. The two married June 12, 1976, in Kendallville. Baker said her father wrote in a book called “Father’s Memories.” “I fell in love with Jackie, because she made me feel important and secure. She embraced the idea to buy the farm,” he wrote. In 2010, Roger died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. His wife and two daughters had to make the difficult decision to take him off life support and become an organ donor. Hutson and Baker never thought they would have to make the same difficult
A Northern Lakes Success Story Beth Trennepohl Beth chose to come to Northern Lakes Rehabilitation Center after a stay in the hospital left her weak and unsteady on her feet. Beth stayed in our dedicated Rehab Unit and received Physical & Occupational therapies daily. She was able to return home stronger and independent in 6 weeks. The therapy department provided an in-home assessment with Beth prior to her return. Beth shared these thoughts with us about her stay at Northern Lakes: “Therapy was considerate and knowledgeable of my needs. The staff was very caring and the food was good. I would recommend Northern Lakes to anyone that needs therapy and rehabilitation.”

decision. Their mother fell down the stairs at her home this spring and suffered severe brain injuries. Hutson said family and friends, doctors and nurses did everything they could for her recovery, but the damage was too much. Jackie died May 7 at age 59. The sisters decided to let their mother be an organ donor, too. Hutson said the loss of both her parents as such a young age will forever shape her family. Jackie lost her own parents while she was in her 40s. “All of these losses made her the strong, independent woman she was,” Hutson said. Jackie worked for 20 years as a Head Start teacher’s assistant in LaGrange and Noble counties. “She loved working with the children,” Baker said. Amanda Jolin, the lead teacher at Head start, called Jackie a “joy to work with.” “She’d come in every morning filled with stories,” Jolin said. “She was never afraid to interact with the kids. One day she laid on the floor and all let all the kiddos jump all over.” After her injury, the children at Head Start wrote Jackie notes and letters about how much they missed her. Jackie was very active in civic organizations, volunteering with Girl Scout troops and attending her grandson’s Cub Scout activities. She was a member of the Rome City American Legion, Kendallville Elks, Kendallville Moose and the Harley Owners Group. Baker said her parents worked hard and struggled, but they knew the value of good fun and experiences in life. “Today my parent’s farm is paid off, and they have left it as a legacy to their children and grandchildren,” Baker said.

Pope shames church for exodus
Friend charged with manslaughter in boat crash PIERMONT, N.Y. (AP) — A deadly nighttime speedboat crash on the Hudson River hurled a bride-to-be and her fiance’s best man into the water and left the groom and three others injured, including a friend charged with vehicular manslaughter on Saturday, just two weeks before the couple was to exchange their vows. Six friends were on board the boat Friday night when it struck a barge near the Tappan Zee Bridge, sending Lindsey Stewart and Mark Lennon, both 30, into the water and injuring the other four, including groom-to-be Brian Bond, officials said. A body matching Stewart’s description was recovered Saturday while Lennon is presumed dead, Rockland County Sheriff’s Department Chief William Barbera said. The search for Lennon’s body will resume Sunday. “The search has been suspended this evening and the tides have a lot to do with that,” Barbera said. “We’ll start again first thing in the morning.” Authorities charged the boat’s operator, Jojo John, 35, of Nyack, with vehicular manslaughter and vehicular assault. He was arraigned from a hospital bed and ordered held on $250,000 bond, Barbera said. John is suspected of operating the boat while intoxicated but authorities are still awaiting the result of blood tests.
Infomercial pitchman found in contempt of court CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge has found author and infomercial pitchman Kevin Trudeau in contempt of court for failing to pay a more than $37 million fine imposed over misleading ads for one of his wildly popular weightloss books. Friday’s ruling was the latest round in more than a decade of legal battles that began with a suit filed by the Federal Trade Commission. The regulatory agency alleged some of Trudeau’s informercials included false and misleading statements about his books. A federal judge in Chicago agreed and ordered him to stop. Then in 2007, Judge Robert Gettleman fined Trudeau $37.6 million for violating the order. On Friday, Gettleman said Trudeau failed to pay and ordered him to transfer ownership of companies and financial accounts to a court-appointed receiver.
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Pope Francis issued blunt, soul-searching criticism Saturday of the Brazilian church’s failure to stem the “exodus” of Catholics to evangelical congregations, challenging the region’s bishops to be closer to the people to understand their problems and persuade them that Catholicism isn’t “barren, fruitless soil.” In the longest and most important speech of his four-month pontificate, Francis drove home a message he has emphasized throughout his first international trip to World Youth Day: the need for Catholics, lay and religious, to shake up the status quo, get out of their stuffy sacristies and reach the faithful on the margins of society or risk losing them to rival churches. Francis took a direct swipe at the “intellectual” message of the church that so characterized the pontificate of his predecessor, Benedict XVI. He said ordinary Catholics simply don’t understand such lofty ideas and need to hear the simpler message of love, forgiveness and mercy that is at the core of the Catholic faith. “At times we lose people because they don’t understand what we are saying, because we have forgotten the language of simplicity and import an
intellectualism foreign to our people,” he said. “Without the grammar of simplicity, the church loses the very conditions which make it possible to fish for God in the deep waters of his mystery.” In a speech outlining the kind of church he wants, Francis asked bishops to reflect on why hundreds of thousands of Catholics have left for Protestant and Pentecostal congregations that have grown exponentially in recent decades, particularly in Brazil’s slums or favelas, where their charismatic message and nuts-and-bolts advice have been welcomed by the poor. According to census data, the number of Catholics in Brazil dipped from 125 million in 2000 to 123 million in 2010, with the church’s share of the total population dropping from 74 percent to 65 percent. During the same time period, the number of evangelical Protestants and Pentecostals skyrocketed from 26 million to 42 million, increasing from 15 percent to 22 percent of the population in 2010. Francis offered a breathtakingly blunt list of explanations for the “exodus.” “Perhaps the church appeared too weak, perhaps too distant from their needs, perhaps too
At least 65 Morsi supporters killed in police clashes CAIRO (AP) — Security forces and armed men clashed with supporters of Egypt’s ousted president early Saturday, killing at least 65 people in mayhem that underscored an increasingly heavy hand against protests demanding Mohammed Morsi’s return to office. In chaotic scenes, pools of blood stained the floor and bodies were lined up under white sheets in a makeshift hospital near the site of the battles in eastern Cairo. Doctors struggled to cope with the flood of dozens of wounded, many with gunshots to the head or chest. It was the deadliest single outbreak of violence since the military ousted Morsi on July 3 and one of the deadliest in 2 ½ years of turmoil in Egypt. It was not
immediately clear if all the 65 killed were all protesters or if residents who joined the fight against the march were among the dead. The Brotherhood said that 66 Morsi supporters were killed in the Cairo violence. The extent of the bloodshed pointed to a rapidly building confrontation between the country’s two camps, sharply divided over the coup that removed Egypt’s first freely elected president after widespread protests against his rule. Authorities talk more boldly of making a move to end weeks of protests by Morsi’s largely Islamist supporters. At the same time, the Islamists are growing more assertive in challenging security forces as they try to win public backing for their cause.

mercy,” he said. “Without mercy, we have little chance nowadays of becoming part of a world of ‘wounded’ persons in need of understanding, forgiveness and love.” “We need a church able to dialogue with those disciples who … are wandering aimlessly, alone, with their own disappointment, disillusioned by a Christianity now considered barren, fruitless soil, incapable of generating meaning.”
more powerful and faster” solutions. Francis asked if the church today can still “warm the hearts” of its faithful, with priests who take time to listen to their problems and remain close to them. He said he wants a church that acts like a “mother” who not only gives birth to her children but cares for them and holds their hand. “We need a church capable of rediscovering the maternal womb of
poor to respond to their concerns, perhaps too cold, perhaps too caught up with itself, perhaps a prisoner of its own rigid formulas,” he said. “Perhaps the world seems to have made the church a relic of the past, unfit for new questions. Perhaps the church could speak to people in their infancy but not to those come of age.” At the same time, he dismissed as empty the allure of rival congregations promising “lofty,

Our View •
Moving forward by reaching out “Leadership is about talking to people rather than at them, and listening, and occasionally even changing your point of view,” according to former Sen. Richard Lugar in the August 2013 issue of “The Rotarian.” Lugar, a six-term senator and former head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is a 55-year Rotarian. With more than 1.2 members worldwide, one of Rotary’s goals is building goodwill and peace in the world. Lugar’s most outstanding diplomatic and legislative achievement, the Nunn-Lugar Act, led to the dismantling of 7,600 nuclear warheads in locations such as Siberia. Another of Lugar’s peace initiatives is the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program. Established by Congress in 2002 in response to the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, YES enables students age 15-17 from countries with significant Muslim populations to spend a school year in the U.S. YES Abroad provides a similar experience for U.S. students in YES countries. East Noble High School has hosted YES students from India, Bahrain, Macedonia, Lebanon and Egypt. For the 2013-2014 school year East Noble will be hosting YES students from South Africa, Indonesia and Palestine. Many other area schools host exchange students and teachers. In addition, a growing number of students and educators are traveling abroad. McKenney-Harrison Elementary School counselor Barbara Beck traveled to China at the end of this school year to visit DeKalb Middle School’s sister school. Beck spent three weeks teaching American language and culture to Chinese students. The DeKalb district has partnered with Global Indiana to create three relationships with schools in China. This past school year, the middle school hosted Chinese teacher Cindy Wang and Chinese administrator Chen Ronghua. Superintendent Sherry Grate believes “we can make a difference in our community by exposing our students to a more global and culturally diverse society through this experience.” DeKalb Central sent a group of students, parents and teachers to China June 18-27. They visited their sister school in Taizhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xian and also saw The Great Wall, the Terra Cotta Warriors, Tiannanmen Square and The Forbidden City. East Noble Middle School’s partnership with Qingchun Middle School in Hangzhou, China began when East Noble administrators traveled to China. Since then, East Noble has sent six delegations to the sister school. From May 27 through June 5, Nathan Toles, Sara Stein, Cliff Hannon and 12 East Noble students visited East Noble’s sister school along with historical and cultural sites. “One of the neatest experiences was the home stay,” Toles said. “Each student was paired with a Chinese student. For two days these students were essentially foreign exchange students.” In October 2011, 50 students and 10 adults from Qingchun visited East Noble Middle School, and in November 2011, three of the partner middle school administrators visited ENMS. Superintendent Ann Linson said more exchanges are planned. “These experiences are wonderful for our students,” she said. “It gives them tremendous exposure to other cultures and helps them understand that despite the distance, we all share similar values and dreams. Students are gaining a better understanding of the significance that other countries can play in our global economy.” East Noble junior Nathan Shortridge, 16, will leave in August for 10 months with the Rotary Youth Exchange Program in Pingtung, Taiwan. He said he wants “to bring this great experience and new culture home with me” and do his best to share it with as many people as possible. It will be his first time outside the U.S. The Shortridge family will be one of the families hosting Rotary exchange student Bruno Silva Diaz from Brazil.

Letters • Daniels presents no evidence against historian To the editor: Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States” puts forward a cogent thesis and defends it well with documentation and evidence. One can certainly challenge (as historians do disagree with one another on points of history) Zinn’s interpretation, based on evidence and argument. However, I find much of what Zinn asserts corroborated by other historical writings. There has to be some irony, however, in one of Indiana’s leading political ideologues, Mitch Daniels, calling Zinn’s writing “execrable propaganda.” Where then is Mr. Daniels’ cogent thesis? Where are his citations, his documentations, his coherent interpretations of evidence, his specific refutations founded on Mr. Daniels’ own reasoned arguments? One might expect more than name-calling and defamation from one who has been educated at Princeton and sits as president of one of Indiana’s great universities. Resorting to shouting down one’s opponent, and abusing power through suppression, seems a revealing weakness of position and a lack of
substance. It is also frighteningly close to spin and “propaganda.” Could it be that Mitch Daniels himself has provided us very good evidence supporting Howard Zinn’s point? “The historian’s distortion is more than technical, it is ideological; it is released into a world of contending interests, where any chosen emphasis supports … some kind of interest, whether economic or political or racial or national or sexual.” Rather than let the stories of history be shaped and told from only one limited and self-serving perspective, that of power and influence, Zinn would include also the stories from the perspective of the less powerful, disenfranchised, and those equally endowed by their creator with inalienable rights. He does this well, and I thank him for this genuine historical approach. That Mr. Daniels, president of Purdue University, dismisses Zinn’s celebrated contribution and his 700 pages of narrative, documentation, and bibliography as “crap” is offensive and too telling. We might ask: Just how did Mr. Daniels get to be president of Purdue? I regret that Howard Zinn is no longer here to perhaps tell us that story, too. John E. Smith Auburn
Journalists’ access to government emails has big impact NASHVILLE, Ind. — There’s been an interesting sideshow these past couple of weeks consisting of emails from former Gov. Mitch Daniels, Tony Bennett, former superintendent of education, and his then-chief of staff Todd Huston about whether the writings of professor Howard Zinn should be exposed and taught to Indiana students. If nothing else, it’s given us an inner view of one of the more successful governorships in modern times and the first digital one at that and how power and influence was wielded. This Daniels email story forged by Associated Press reporter Tom LoBianco and his Freedom of Information Act requests to the Indiana Department of Education might not have existed had not this writer ended up at a Vincennes University luncheon with then-House Speaker John Gregg in November 2001. Gregg had pulled some strings and gotten me an honor from the university where I studied journalism under professor Fred Walker Jr., between 1974 and 1976, before heading off to Indiana University at Bloomington. It wasn’t something I had sought and it certainly worked against the grain of my modus operandi which is to “blend” as opposed to being a conspicuous character. I didn’t know it at the time, but those circumstances allowed me to make perhaps my biggest impact on Indiana journalism. The Internet age had dawned and was now becoming a pervading aspect in the way we communicate. In the long Indiana General Assembly session of 2001, House
Bill 1083 would have prevented press access to the electronic mails of government officials. Beyond personal meetings, phone calls, letters and facsimiles, email was becoming a key way to communicate and the rules developed around it not unlike what we’re currently witnessing with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 1083 passed HOWEY bothHBchambers POLITICAL and ended up on REPORT the desk of Gov. Frank O’Bannon, who by vocation Brian Howey was publisher of the Corydon Democrat. O’Bannon vetoed the bill. Had he signed HB 1083, it would have dramatically changed Indiana journalism by keeping what has become a huge swath of information out of the public arena. We wouldn’t have learned, for instance, about the cozy relationship between Duke Energy and the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission and the Edwardsport plant overruns. The volume of emails between government officials, their employees, counterparts, constituents and even the press has been huge and expansive. Having potential access to these emails hasn’t been abused, in my opinion, but it adds a 21st century check and balance for the Fourth Estate and its watchdog role over government. Most government officials know that you don’t put anything in an email that you wouldn’t be
•
comfortable with showing up in a court hearing or on the front page. As Robin Winston, former O’Bannon aide and Indiana Democratic chairman, liked to say, “A letter can die on the shredder, but an email lasts forever.” After O’Bannon vetoed the bill, Gregg was under intense pressure from his chamber to bring up the veto for an override on Organization Day that November. Given Indiana’s weak constitutional governorship, the override probably would have been successful. And by circumstance that he had concocted, Gregg ended up at a luncheon table seated next to me. While most of us at the luncheon were dressed in ties and sport coats, I remember Gregg showed up wearing a red and black lumberjack shirt. He was in his usual jovial mood, enjoying the notion that I had to ride in a convertible through downtown Vincennes as part of its annual holiday parade, which reminded me of the final scene in the movie “Animal House” though the boys at Delta House were hung over and didn’t show. What Gregg ended up with was a third-generation journalist who relentlessly bent his ear about his upcoming decision to call up the O’Bannon veto of HB 1083 the following week. In the Dec. 9, 2004 “10th Anniversary Edition” of Howey Politics (you can read it in the Indiana State Library archives) I described the scene: “I pleaded, begged and implored Gregg not to hand down the bill. He listened politely, but was noncommittal. When I left the banquet hall, I used a ‘Rexism’ to describe what
As Robin Winston, former O’Bannon aide and Indiana Democratic chairman, liked to say, “A letter can die on the shredder, but an email lasts forever.”
• I had just done, telling a friend, ‘I feel like I just threw up in the punch bowl.’” A week later, Gregg refused to hand down the override. And three years later, in that 10th anniversary edition, Gregg observed, “You were not given the credit you personally deserved on the issue of the media bill and the override. You told me it would’ve been disastrous to hand it down and you were right. That is a decision I’ve never regretted and I owe you a big one on that.” Actually, despite the discomfort of the demise of this bill has caused Purdue President Daniels and now state Rep. Todd Huston, Hoosiers all owe Gregg a big debt of gratitude for having the courage to buck his chamber and keep government emails in the check and balance system that has, for the most part, kept Indiana state government corruption-free since the last big scandal that occurred 30 years ago.

Think you can’t coach? You’re missing out Stepping back from our mountain of daily news about kids’ summer activities, I marvel at how much energy and money we pour into young people every summer. We spend a lot of time at the newspaper reporting on youth baseball and softball, 4-H activities and pageants — but nothing compared to the hours that parents and other adults devote to organizing them. All those parents are a source of positive energy that could be harnessed year-round for even greater results. But what parents do in the summer pays off. Nearly three decades later, I enjoy watching what happened to young men I met during my coaching days. I’d like to think I played a tiny part in their success, even if their achievements have little to do with the sports I attempted to coach. My teams didn’t produce a single major-league baseball
player, but as far as I know, neither did any of the other teams coached by dads with much better baseball knowledge than me. Two former players are making a living from baseball, however. One of them takes care of baseball DAVE diamonds for a major league KURTZ organization, and I should have asked him to join me in raking the field and laying down the chalk lines. Another former player helps run a minor league franchise. If I’d known that back in 1992, I’d have put him in charge of registration, handing out uniforms and scheduling the games. What strikes me about youth

sports now is how important they seemed when I was all wrapped up in them — coaching for 17 seasons — and how differently I look at them now. What really matters is all the young men I met, regardless of their batting averages. Only two weeks ago, I took a lot of satisfaction in watching a former youth basketball player perform on the stage of the DeKalb Outdoor Theater. Now I realize that all those traveling violations were predicting his career as a choreographer. Another former player will be coming home soon to give a piano concert. He belonged on a piano bench, instead of riding my team’s bench. But still another kid from one of my teams grew up to become a youth baseball coach. I’m proud of him, too. This summer he gave up coaching his own son’s team because a squad of older boys needed a

• manager. Fortunately for his players, they’re getting a lot better baseball tips than I could give him. Instead of trying to teach skills I didn’t even know myself, I would have been better off coaching English or math. Unfortunately, our system encourages us to leave academic instruction to the professionals. We’re starting to figure out that adults can teach kids something besides a jump shot and a pickoff move. Mentoring programs are catching on in schools, although
I think we’re just scratching the surface. Existing programs involve volunteers in helping children learn to read, but they could be tutoring higher-level subjects, too. It struck me last week that of all our youth programs, 4-H seems to be the most practical. I never got involved in 4-H, but I can see that it teaches young people skills they can use the rest of their lives. Ironically, when I interviewed two young people chosen as their county’s top 4-H achievers, their career plans had little to do with their talent for raising livestock. The lesson might be that it doesn’t matter what kids learn during their summer activities, as long as they know somebody cares about them. You might not know a cow from a curveball, but you’ve got something you could be sharing with today’s youth. DAVE KURTZ is the executive editor of KPC Media Group newspapers.

Loving strangers, courting votes: combining moral, political advice Republicans have long portrayed themselves as the party of faith, and religious practice is a reliable indicator of political behavior. Among voters who attend worship services more than once a week, 63 percent backed Mitt Romney last fall, while 36 percent supported President Obama. For those who never darken a church door, the numbers were exactly reversed. On immigration reform, however, House Republicans are badly out of the step with the leaders of two religious groups that strongly backed COKIE ROBERTS Romney: white Roman Catholics STEVEN ROBERTS and evangelical Protestants. Many of these clerics vigorously support giving undocumented immigrants a clear path to citizenship, but GOP legislators have stoutly resisted a Senate-passed measure that would create such a path. So far, political and economic arguments have failed to sway these House Republicans. Maybe a little Bible study will help them see the light. Even many Republicans think their House brethren are clinging to a position that’s both morally indefensible and politically irrational. The shopworn metaphor of a circular firing squad doesn’t quite capture their suicidal impulse. They seem intent on burning themselves at the stake. Most attention has focused on the political repercussions. More than 70 percent of Hispanics and Asians voted Democratic last year. In an increasingly nonwhite country, alienating the fastestgrowing segment of the voting population smacks of supreme stupidity. The economic arguments are equally compelling. Immigrants generate jobs, income and growth, and House Republicans are angering a business community that desperately wants legalization. The religious dimension of this debate has been largely ignored, however, and that’s highly unfortunate. Doing good should count as much as winning elections or earning profits. The Roman Catholic Church in this country was built by immigrants, so its receptivity to newcomers is well-known and long-standing. One example — the presidents of more than 90 Catholic colleges recently wrote to Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (both practicing Catholics): “Catholic teaching values the human dignity and worth of all immigrants, regardless of legal status. We remind you that no human being made in the image of God is illegal.” Evangelicals have been far slower to embrace the immigrant cause. As Jenny Yang of the National Association of Evangelicals noted recently in the Washington Post, evangelicals were “the most anti-immigrant” religious denomination as recently as 2006. That view was revised in part by “a more careful and thoughtful reading of

Pig wrestling criticized One event at the Noble County fair didn’t sit well with an online reader. Posting on a letter criticizing pig wrestling, ForAnimals commented: “In my attempts to understand this seemingly archaic form of ‘fun,’ I researched what experts say and everything I learned about the proper and respectful handling and movement of pigs flies directly in the face of everything about pig wrestling. They are afraid of bright light, yelling, equipment noise, being separated from their herd-mates, have a ‘flight’ radius that is clearly infringed upon (why they squeal and run), and can DIE with even slight temperature variations combined with other forms of stress. I don’t get it. I certainly don’t support it.”

• Scripture,” Yang wrote. There are almost 100 references to immigrants in the Old Testament alone, but the most persuasive verse is from Deuteronomy: “You shall love the stranger, for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt.” Rep. Steve King of Iowa, a ferocious foe of immigration reform, said on Univision that “legal Americans do not have a moral obligation to solve the problem” of the 11 million undocumented strangers now living here. But the Bible contradicts him. Two evangelical leaders, the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez and Mat Staver, wrote on the Fox News website: “Our agenda is driven not by the Donkey or the Elephant but by the Lamb. … We believe that Scripture provides principles that compel us to advocate for reforms to immigration policy.” There is a practical motive here as well. Catholics have always depended on immigrants to fill their pews — Poles, Irish, Italians — and today many of their parishioners are Hispanics and Asians, particularly Filipinos. But now evangelical churches are depending on the same source of recruits. Rodriguez argues that deporting illegals would mean “deporting the future of American Christianity.” Professor John Green of the University of Akron, an expert on evangelicals, told the Arizona Republic: “A lot of this simply has to do with the sense among many evangelical leaders that the immigrant community, particularly the Hispanic community, is very important to the future of evangelical churches, that the missionary opportunities are very large.” It’s not just where these newcomers worship; it’s what they believe. Rodriguez and Staver point out that “in reality, most Latino voters are social conservatives” who would consider voting Republican, but for them, immigration policies “trump all other issues.” If social conservatives really want to advance their ideas in the political marketplace, they must “earn a hearing” with immigrants by embracing immigration reform. If they “kill such policies,” they will endanger their own agenda. Pass the matches. “Respect the law” is a profound Biblical admonition; so is “love the stranger.” Religious leaders are telling House Republicans to put love before law, to temper justice with mercy. That’s good moral advice. And good political advice, too. COKIE ROBERTS AND STEVEN V. ROBERTS are columnists for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. They can be contacted by email at stevecokie@ gmail.com.

Obama: War should never be forgotten WASHINGTON (AP) — Six decades after the Korean War ended, President Barack Obama said Saturday that American veterans deserved a better homecoming from a war-weary nation and that their legacy is the 50 million people who live freely in a democratic South Korea. “Here in America, no war should ever be forgotten, and no veteran should ever be overlooked,” he said in a speech at the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the National Mall, where ceremonies marked the 60th anniversary of the end of hostilities on the peninsula. Obama said the conflict didn’t unite or divide the country the same way World War II or the
Vietnam War did, respectively, and that U.S. veterans came home to neither parades nor protests because “there was, it seemed, a desire to forget, to move on” by Americans tired of battle. But they “deserved better,” Obama said, adding that, on Saturday’s anniversary, “perhaps the highest tribute we can offer our veterans of Korea is to do what should have been done the day you came home.” He appealed for people to pause and let these veterans “carry us back to the days of their youth and let us be awed by their shining deeds.” In the audience of several thousand on a sunny and humid morning were dozens of American and Korean veterans of the war.

thought to be recoverable. President Barack Obama marked the armistice’s 60th anniversary with a speech Saturday at the Korean War Veterans Memorial. “Today we can say with confidence that war was no tie. Korea was a victory,” he said. The U.S. has kept combat forces on the Korean Peninsula since the fighting halted with the signing of an armistice, or truce, and it still has 28,500 troops based in the South. They are a symbol of a vibrant and important U.S.-South Korean alliance, and few advocate even a partial American troop withdrawal. But some U.S. military officers believe their permanence on the peninsula, with a singular focus on North Korea, is an anachronistic arrangement that should have been overhauled years ago. The armistice agreement itself did not envision a long-term U.S. troop presence. It contains a passage recommending that within three months a high-level political conference be convened to negotiate the withdrawal of all foreign forces.

someone besides himself, he would kill her lover and then kill her. A warrant for murder was filed Aug. 23, 1989. In 2011, Vern Kelley, father of Todd Kelley, told KPC Media Group the credit for finding Huq went to Indiana State Police Detective Kevin Smith. Smith told the Associated Press in 2011 that he started working on the case in 2005, after he had left road duty and became a detective. Smith told the AP he long suspected Huq was in Bangladesh, but found out for certain about three years ago by searching public records. He said he made two requests through the Justice Department for Bangladesh to extradite Huq, but that nation’s government didn’t respond. The United States lacks an extradition treaty with Bangladesh. “So when we actually found him, we just decided, no sense asking again, we’ll just see if we can figure out where he’s traveling to and when he does, hopefully it will be a place we can extradite him from,” Smith said. “It just worked out perfectly.” It was learned Huq was traveling to India for a teaching engagement, and he was arrested on a provisional arrest request as he deplaned in New Dehli. Since that time, officials said, Huq had fought extradition proceedings while in custody. That and other technicalities in dealing with a foreign goverment’s legal system, Troyer said, have delayed Huq’s extradition.

San Diego mayor’s therapy plan flops with his critics SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mayor Bob Filner’s announcement that he will undergo two weeks of full-time therapy defies leaders of his own political party who demanded he resign over allegations of sexual harassment. The mayor’s plans failed to appease many who called for San Diego’s first Democratic leader in 20 years to step down less than eight months into his four-year term. Seven women identified themselves as targets of Filner’s unwanted advances that include touching. “Two weeks of therapy may help Bob Filner with his personal problems, but it does not help to address the needs of San Diego,” said Laura Fink, a political consultant who alleges that Filner patted her buttocks at a 2005 fundraiser when she was deputy campaign manager for the then-congressman. She is one of seven women who have publicly identified themselves as targets of Filner’s advances. Scott Peters, a first-term Democratic congressman from San Diego, said the mayor would be unable to accomplish anything with controversy swirling around him. “I understand the mayor feels like he wants help, and I think that’s great,” Peters said. “I just don’t think it’s appropriate for him to do it as mayor. It’s pretty clear to me that he’s not going to be in a position to lead the city.” Lucas Powell, who works at a coffee house in the upscale Point Loma area and
HIALEAH, Fla. (AP) — A man living with his mother in a South Florida apartment complex set their unit on fire and went on a shooting rampage throughout the building, killing six people before being shot to death by police. As the eight-hour standoff unfolded, horrified residents hunkered down in their homes, at times so close to the action they could feel the gunfire or hear negotiations between the gunman and police, authorities and witnesses said Saturday. At one point, Pedro Vargas, 42, held two people hostage at gunpoint for up to three hours in their apartment until a SWAT team entered and killed him, police said. The hostages were not hurt. “The crime scene is the whole building,” said Lt. Carl Zogby, a spokesman with the Hialeah Police

voted for Filner, said he was unimpressed by Filner’s announcement and believes the former 10-term congressman should step down as mayor. “Two weeks isn’t going change deep-seated opinions and behaviors,” Powell, 30, said during a lull in business Friday night.

Department. Police were called to the aging, five-story apartment building in Hialeah, a working class suburb a few miles northwest of downtown Miami, on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The first calls reported a fire, but when firefighters arrived, they heard shots and immediately notified police, Zogby said. Vargas, who has no known criminal record, set a combustible liquid on fire in his fourthfloor apartment. Building manager Italo Pisciotti, 79, and his wife, Camira Pisciotti, 69, saw smoke and ran to the unit, Zogby said. When they arrived, Vargas opened the door and fired, killing both. Detectives were investigating whether Vargas had any ongoing disputes with the building manager, as some residents believed. His mother was not home at the time.

Briefly • Wayne’s message to Colts: Dream big INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Reggie Wayne used the story of a young injured man to send his teammates an emphatic message Saturday. There are no boundaries when you dream big. The Pro Bowl receiver who always makes a grand entrance to start training camp asked Indiana University Health’s LifeLine helicopter to give him a lift and invited Matt Sercer, a Colts fan who severely injured his leg and foot in a farming accident in December, to come along for the ride. When they landed on an intramural field at Anderson University, Wayne stood side-by-side to be photographed with Sercer. “A lot of things were not expected of Matt to be able to walk again and things of that nature. But as you can see, he’s here standing with me. Got out the chopper, he walked over,” Wayne said. “Guys like Matt and stories like Matt’s, they’re the real heroes. It inspires you to go out there and do great and prove people wrong. A lot of people didn’t think Matt would be able to walk again, and he’s out here moonwalking with me.” For Wayne, the special arrivals — and the themes that come with them — have become a regular part of the training camp routine. Last year, Wayne dressed in military fatigues and arrived as part of an Indiana National Guard convoy. He wanted his new teammates to take a page from the military manual by being supportive, selfless warriors who could overcome all obstacles, even those unforeseen. It turned out to be a fitting message as one of the NFL’s youngest teams improved form 2-14 to 11-5 and reached the playoffs.

Newman on Brickyard pole INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Rocket Man got his fuel back. Finally. Ryan Newman snatched the pole away from Jimmie Johnson with a blistering lap of 187.531 mph around Indianapolis Motor Speedway to set a track record for NASCAR races at the Brickyard. Newman was the last of the 45 drivers to make a qualifying attempt Saturday as Johnson’s No. 48 was atop the scoring tower for well over an hour with a lap of 187.438. Driver after driver had failed to knock Johnson from the pole, and the four-time Brickyard winner watched and waited to see if Newman could get the job done. Newman, an Indiana native, pulled it off as Johnson smiled his approval. “You can’t count Ryan out, and he put up a whale of a lap,” Johnson said. Added team co-owner Tony Stewart, “They don’t call him ‘Rocket Man’ for no reason. He had an awesome lap.” It’s the 50th pole for Newman, who established himself as an elite qualifier with six poles his rookie season. He set a NASCAR record with 11 poles in 2003, and won at least one pole a year for 11 seasons. But he’d been in a drought of late, and Newman’s last pole was late in the 2011 season. “I just am ecstatic. It’s awesome because it’s my 50th. It’s awesome

Sprint Cup Series driver Ryan Newman smiles as he climbs out of his car after qualifying for the pole position for the Brickyard 400 auto race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis on Saturday. Newman qualified with a speed of 187.531 mph.
because it’s Indy, and it’s a track record on top of that, so it’s like a double triple bonus,” Newman said. The normally stoic Newman admitted he got emotional on the backstretch of his cool-down lap.
“It’s more special to me because it’s the Brickyard, because it’s Indy, because of the history of auto racing at this facility,” he said. “So many drivers who are my heroes, so many drivers I’ve admired, so
many drivers that have worked so hard in their career to get to here on this day, to be the fastest one, that’s what’s the most special to me.” The drought on poles had weighed on Newman over the last year. “It’s been bothering me for a long time,” he said. “I feel like I’m a driver that can still hit his marks each and every lap and put it all together, and we didn’t win a pole last year. We were close at times.” The 50th pole of his career is good enough for ninth on the career list, and it comes at a critical time for Newman. Stewart told Newman he’s not being re-signed for next season two weeks ago, and Newman is currently looking for a job for 2014. “No hard feelings. They made a move, and that move makes me move, and there’s no hard feelings,” Newman said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. Obviously this is a good step in publicity for me on the positive side, so we’ll see what we can do tomorrow.” Carl Edwards qualified third at 187.157, and was already seated for the post-qualifying news conference when he watched on television as Newman knocked Johnson and Edwards down a notch. “I felt really good — second is the worst,” Edwards said about qualifying third.
2 decades of NASCAR in Indy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Traditionalists balked and some were downright outraged at the mere suggestion stock cars dare set their fenders on the sacred ground of Indianapolis. Stage a NASCAR race at the home of the Indianapolis 500? May as well make Indy 500 winners swig orange juice in Victory Lane or have the track install lights for a night race. Heck, make it the Indianapolis 350. None of it could have been worse than big, bad NASCAR storming into their city — an open wheel city. “I think Indy cars belong at Indy and stock cars belong at Daytona,” 1986 Indy winner Bobby Rahal said more than 20 years ago. “I think it’s a big mistake because Indy has all that tradition and romance and I don’t believe it should be tampered with,” said Johnny Rutherford, also a former Indianapolis 500 champion. Romance? What is this, a love story? Well, sort of. It’s time to pucker up and kiss the bricks once again when NASCAR runs its 20th Cup race Sunday at Indianapolis

and Rick Mears. There’s a generation of drivers coming up who dreamed of racing at
Indianapolis for 400 miles, not 500. The Brickyard may not be the marquee race
to win on NASCAR’s schedule. Rahal was on to something, the Daytona 500 is still No. 1. But Indy is a close runner up. “You have the Daytona 500 and then the Brickyard 400,” Gordon, a four-time Indy winner, said. “Some people may rank it different than that, but that’s how I look at it. There was a time, maybe back in 1994, where I would have ranked this No. 1.” Then the next big thing in NASCAR, a 23-year-old Gordon won the inaugural race in 1994. An estimated crowd of 250,000 fans absolutely jammed the place and Gordon recalled the die-hards lined up 10 deep around the garage just to get a peek at the drivers that would soon usher NASCAR into a boom period. NASCAR hadn’t just raced at Indy — it took it over. Dale Earnhardt won in 1995 and then Dale Jarrett started a celebration with his 1996 win that lasts to this day, and even carried over to Indy. Jarrett and crew chief Todd Parrott knelt down and planted a big ol’ kiss on the bricks, the start-finish line for the race. SEE 20 YEARS, PAGE B3
Kyle Busch takes Nationwide race INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Busch had a commanding lead wiped out with one ill-timed caution. He snagged it back just in time to extend his dominant run in the Nationwide Series — and seal his latest win with a kiss. Busch was the newest driver to kiss the bricks, leading 92 of 100 laps Saturday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He turned his baseball cap around, dropped to his hands and knees, and planted a big one on the bricks. How’d they taste? “Like bricks,” he said. Busch even gave the bricks a celebratory slap. Not bad after a late scare off a restart dropped him to third with six laps left and
nearly turned Brian Scott into the surprise winner. Busch fell back after some hard racing with Joey Logano that almost wiped out his near-flawless racing. But his No. 54 Toyota was the fastest car all day and he roared back to take the lead with three laps left. He won for the eighth time in 15 races this season. He took his usual bow before he grabbed the checkered flag. Then, off to the bricks. “It’s Indianapolis. It’s pretty awesome to be able to win here, whether you are driving Nationwide or Cup, sports cars, Formula One, MotoGP, anything,” he said. “It’s pretty cool, this place, with the history and all the automobiles that
have raced on this surface and the surfaces before it. And all the fans who have been here over the years, it’s awesome.” Crew chief Adam Stevens became choked up atop the pit box. That’s what winning at Indy can mean, even in the second-tier NASCAR series. It was the wave of emotion Scott wanted to feel. Scott, who has never won a Nationwide race in 128 starts, briefly took the lead and was in position to become the upset winner. He just couldn’t hold off Busch. Few can in Nationwide. He has a record 59 Nationwide wins in 259 starts. “I should have won here last year but I messed

Snedeker takes lead in Canada
OAKVILLE, Ontario (AP) — Brandt Snedeker was on seventh tee when he noticed something wasn’t quite right. He couldn’t find Hunter Mahan’s name at the top of the Canadian Open leaderboard. “I looked at my caddie, and I go, ‘What’s going on?’” Snedeker said. “He goes, ‘I think Hunter had to leave because (his wife) went into labor.’” His caddie was right. Mahan, the second-round leader at 13 under, withdrew Saturday to rush home to Dallas for the birth of his first child Saturday, leaving a big opening for Snedeker. “Kind of left the tournament wide open,” Snedeker said. “Hunter was going to be hard to catch because he was playing so good. The way he drives the golf ball on this golf course, he was going to play really well on the weekend. For me to catch him, I knew I was going to have to shoot something really low.” Snedeker had a 9-under 63 at rainy Glen Abbey to take the lead after the third round. He won the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February for his fifth PGA Tour victory. “I know how to handle it and I know what to expect tomorrow especially on a golf course like this,” Snedeker said. “I’m not too concerned about my number right now. I know what I have to do tomorrow.” The 2012 FedExCup champion had nine birdies in a bogey-free round, playing the front nine in 6-under 29. “You always feel like you’re exactly one swing away from hitting something off the planet or something like that,” Snedeker said. “I felt like I managed my game really well today.”
Mahan withdrew before he was scheduled to tee off Saturday in the round that was delayed 80 minutes because of lightning. “I received exciting news a short time ago that my wife Kandi has gone into labor with our first child,” Mahan said in a statement. “Kandi and I are thrilled about the addition to the Mahan family and we look forward to returning to the RBC Canadian Open in the coming years.” Sweden’s David Lingmerth was a stroke back after a 65, and Matt Kuchar and Jason Bohn were 12 under. Kuchar had a 64, and Bohn shot 66. “The birth of a child is a truly magical, special thing. You may get it once in your lifetime. It just doesn’t happen that often,” Kuchar said. “Hunter right now is playing some of the best golf in the world. It kind of gives the rest of us a chance with him not in the field.” Dustin Johnson also shot 63, good for a tie for fifth at 11 under with John Merrick (72), Greg Owen (67), Charley Hoffman (67) and Kyle Stanley (66). Merrick, two strokes behind Mahan on Friday after matching the course record with a second-round 62, played alone in the third round after Mahan withdrew. Merrick declined to playoff alongside a non-scoring marker. David Hearn was the top Canadian, shooting a 68 to reach 5 under. He made the cut Friday by birdieing his final three holes. “I felt good yesterday finishing the way I did,” Hearn said. “I didn’t play my best getting to the weekend but it’s a pretty tight leaderboard.” Mike Weir was 3 under after a 73.

Langer in front of Sr. British Open SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — Bernhard Langer seized a three-shot lead after the third round of the Senior British Open on Saturday, mastering Royal Birkdale with superb links play for a 4-under 66. Langer shared the overnight lead with American Mark Wiebe but birdied three of his first seven holes to jump in front on his own. David Frost of South Africa shot his third straight 68 to sit alone in second place, while Wiebe only managed a 70 to drop into third, four shots back. Langer’s only bogey came on the 14th, but he finished with two birdies on 15 and 17 to stay in control. “That was as good as I can play,” said the German veteran, who is bidding for his second Senior British
Open title having won at Carnoustie in 2010. “My ball-striking was almost perfect and I played really well, apart from the mistake at the 14th.” His lone bogey came when he hit his tee shot to the back of the green, sent his approach putt long and left and missed the return. He got it back immediately with a birdie at the long 15th, added another at the long 17th and just missed his birdie chance from 12 feet at the last. Frost made three birdies in a row from the seventh but then made three bogies came on the 10th, 14th and the 18th, with two other birdies in between. Three players are in joint fourth place, six shots back

20 YEARS: Many changed for NASCAR at track FROM PAGE B1
Who needs milk? Tony Stewart, a former open wheel champion, never got to fulfill his boyhood dream of winning an Indianapolis 500. But the Indiana native has twice won the Brickyard, putting an emphatic end to his skepticism that a winning a NASCAR race in Indy would never mean as much had it happened in open wheel. “The first time they came, I’ll be honest, I was 100 percent against it,” he said. “When you grow up in the state of Indiana, the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway is the Holy Grail to you. I didn’t want to see anything different come to it. To me, it was the Indy 500 and that’s all it was supposed to be.” That feeling didn’t last for long. Stewart won in 2005 and 2007 and was won over that NASCAR could truly call Indianapolis home. “It was everything to me,” he said. “My whole life, since I was a kid, that’s what I wanted to do. Not that I had some fascination with kissing bricks as a child. But my fascination to do it here was pretty obsessive.” NASCAR first kicked the
tires of running in Indianapolis in the early 1990s. By 1992, the stock car series was ready to take a dip in the Indy pool with two days of tire testing. An estimated 30,000 fans at the Speedway chanted “We want a race,” as the cars roared from the pit past a hand-lettered sign, “Indy fans love NASCAR.” In 1993, former IMS president Tony George extended the official invitation for NASCAR to come aboard. On Aug. 4, 1994, NASCAR hit the track for its first practice on the 2½-mile track.

NATIONWIDE: Scott takes career-best 2nd place FROM PAGE B1
Busch won from the pole and gave Toyota its first NASCAR win at Indianapolis and second ever at the track. Scott had a career-best second-place finish. Logano was third. Brian Vickers finished fourth and picked up
a $100,000 bonus from series sponsor Nationwide as the highest finishing driver in the “Dash 4 Cash” program. Scott said he was “just praying” to pull away from Busch and win. “I feel like he was able to get by me because I was a a
little too cautious on corner entry,” Scott said. “I’d give anything to rewind, go back and be able to do it again. It’s great to have a second-place finish, but it’s frustrating to be so close and have to sit there and watch the other team celebrate.”

Donovan re-inspired CHICAGO (AP) — Burned out and exhausted from more than a decade as the standard bearer for U.S. soccer, Landon Donovan needed a break. For four months last winter, soccer was the last concern for the Americans’ career scoring leader. He spent time with family and friends, making up for all those holidays and get-togethers he missed over the years. He traveled to far-flung places, reveling in his respite from the harsh glare of the spotlight. And somewhere along the way, he rediscovered his love for the game he’d been so desperate to escape. The rejuvenated Donovan is a big reason the Americans are in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final today, where they’ll face Panama. He has five goals in five games, tied for a tournament high, and seven assists. Those 12 goals are one more than Panama’s entire team has scored; the Americans lead the tournament with a total of 19 goals. “I’ve enjoyed myself tremendously,” Donovan said Saturday. “I’ve enjoyed helping with the younger guys. I’ve enjoyed being a part of team that really doesn’t have ego, that’s really excited about this opportunity. It’s been really fun to be a part of, and I’ve enjoyed it a lot.” Donovan wasn’t enjoying much after helping the Los Angeles Galaxy win their second straight MLS title on Dec. 1. Saddled with the title of “best player the U.S. has ever produced” since he
scored twice at the 2002 World Cup, helping fuel the Americans’ stunning run to the quarterfinals and earning him best young player of the tournament honors, nothing Donovan did was ever good enough. Though the entire U.S. team was dismal at the 2006 World Cup, he took the brunt of the criticism. He was the hero four years later after his spectacular goal against Algeria in stoppage time lifted the Americans into the knockout round, only to hear more grumbling when the Americans lost to Ghana. His early failures in Germany only fueled the negativity, and his success with the Galaxy was overshadowed by the arrival of David Beckham. By the time the Galaxy hoisted the trophy, he was, understandably, drained — mentally and physically, and wasn’t sure if he wanted to keep playing. Never mind that he only turned 31 on March 4, and the World Cup was less than two years away. While the Galaxy told him to take the time he needed, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann wasn’t quite so understanding. He left Donovan off the roster for a series of World Cup qualifiers, saying Donovan needed to work his way back onto the team. When he finally felt Donovan was ready to play, Klinsmann said he expected Donovan to be even better than the player he’d been before his sabbatical. “It was his choice to take a little bit of time off. It was his choice to get a little bit of distance,” Klinsmann said Saturday. “He knew his way
back to this group only goes through hard work. It goes through good performances. It goes through showing on and off the field. “Because of what he achieved in the past, his benchmark is higher than a lot of the other guys,” Klinsmann added. “We had honest conversations about it, and I said, ‘I want the best Landon ever, I’m not happy with anything less.’ And he took that challenge.” In Donovan’s first game back with the Americans after an 11-month absence, he scored twice in an exhibition against Guatemala and became the first U.S. player to crack the 50-goal mark. He’s been simply dazzling in the Gold Cup, scoring or having an assist in each of the Americans’ games. But it’s not simply the numbers on the stat sheet. He plays with a pace and rhythm few other players can match, and he sees the field as well as any coach. Both when he plays wide and in front of the goal, he requires additional attention from opposing defenses, opening up opportunities for his teammates. He’s also gone out of his way to help the many young players, and his veteran leadership will be even more vital Sunday with Klinsmann suspended for the game because of a tirade over officiating during the semifinals. “It’s been great to see him back in the fold and playing the way he’s been playing,” said captain DaMarcus Beasley, who has known Donovan since they helped the U.S. reach the semifinals United States standout player Landon of the 1999 FIFA Under-17 Donovan dribbles the ball during the World Championship. first half in the quarterfinals of the

Parker leads West to victory in WNBA All-Star Game UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Candace Parker put on a show in her All-Star debut. Parker scored a record 23 points to lead the West to a 102-98 victory over the East on Saturday. “I didn’t know what to expect,” Parker said. “I hadn’t been to one, and this was really special. Being with all these great players
and share stories, that’s why I’ll remember from this All-Star game more than what happened on the court.” The Los Angeles Sparks star was voted a starter for the 2011 game, but couldn’t play because of a knee injury. She also missed the 2009 game because she was still recovering from the birth of her daughter. “Things happen,” Parker
said. “I learned not to question them and go on my path and take whatever comes. It happened to work out this way.” The wait was worth it as Parker, who earned the game’s MVP honors. While the award was special, Parker and her West teammates were more excited that got the victory for retiring star Tina

Thompson. “We didn’t want her to go out with a loss,” said Parker, who was quickly heading back to Los Angeles after the game to get to a family reunion that she was hosting. Thompson, who made her record ninth All-Star appearance, announced her retirement at the end of the season. She had a rough game missing all five of her attempts from the field, but still enjoyed the moment. West coach Cheryl Reeve put her back in the lineup with a few seconds left to get one final ovation from the fans. Parker’s stellar game helped the league overcome the loss of Brittney Griner and top vote-getter Elena Delle Donne, who sat out because of injuries. The pair have been an attendance and ratings boon for the league. Griner has missed Phoenix’s last five games with a sprained left knee and Delle Donne suffered a concussion in Chicago’s game Wednesday. They were poised to make history as the first pair of rookies from the same class to start the WNBA All-Star game.

Huge return for Cabrera ChiSox suffer Star homers in 1st at-bat after injury in Tigers’ rout DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera homered in his first at-bat after returning from a hip injury and Max Scherzer held Philadelphia to one hit in six innings to become baseball’s first 15-game winner as the Detroit Tigers routed the Phillies 10-0 Saturday night. The Phillies lost their seventh in a row. Scherzer (15-1) threw only 75 pitches — he was one of several stars pulled early after the game got out of hand. Detroit scored five runs in the first and three in the second off Raul Valdes (1-1), who started because Cliff Lee was out with a stiff neck. Cabrera’s solo homer in the first was his 32nd of the year, and he later added two more RBIs to increase his season total to 99. Matt Tuiasosopo hit a three-run homer in the first. The Tigers remain three games ahead of secondplace Cleveland in the AL Central. The Phillies, meanwhile, are now 10 back of NL East-leading Atlanta. Detroit outhit Philadelphia 15-2. Valdes had been used exclusively as a reliever this year, and his first start since June 27, 2012, did not go well. He actually retired his first two batters before Cabrera — back after missing four games because of a left hip problem —

game in the fifth, and he wasn’t the only one who didn’t stick around for the full nine innings. Detroit’s Prince Fielder and Philadelphia’s Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley were among the players pulled early. The only baserunner Scherzer allowed was Darin Ruf, whose second-inning double was nearly caught by Austin Jackson in center. Scherzer struck out seven, and the Detroit All-Star again got plenty of run
support. Detroit was already backing Scherzer with an MLB-best average of 7.32 runs — and that was before Saturday’s rout. Cabrera hit an RBI groundout in the fourth. Valdes was finally pulled after allowing nine runs and 12 hits in 3 2-3 innings. He struck out three.

Masterson masterful in Indians’ win CLEVELAND (AP) — Michael Bourn homered to lead off the first inning and Justin Masterson took a shutout into the eighth inning, outdueling Texas’ Yu Darvish in Cleveland’s 1-0 win over
the Rangers on Saturday night. Masterson (12-7) struck out eight and allowed five hits in 7 2-3 innings. Darvish (9-5) struck out 11 and held the Indians to three hits in six innings.
Darvish’s only mistake came on his second pitch of the game when Bourn hit a line drive that barely cleared the wall in right field. Chris Perez pitched the ninth for his 14th save.
Archer stymies Yankees NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Archer threw a two-hitter for his second shutout in three starts, outpitching Ivan Nova and leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday Kelly Johnson had an RBI single off Nova (4-4) in the sixth to help the AL East-leading Rays improve to 24-5 since June 23, when they were in last place. Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said before the game Archer (6-3) embraces the big moments, and he sure did once again t Yankee Stadium. The 24-year-old rookie with a Captain America lunchbox in his locker never threw more than 14 pitches in an inning and needed just 97 overall — 67 for strikes — for his second career complete game. Archer gave up a single to Lyle Overbay with one out in the fifth and a groundrule double to Brett Gardner in the sixth for New York’s only hits in its sixth loss in nine games since the All-Star break. Archer did not walk a batter and struck out six. He got to finish what he started,

catching Ichiro Suzuki’s comebacker and tossing to first for the final out. Acquired from the Chicago Cubs before the 2011 season in a deal for
Matt Garza, Archer enjoyed his best month as a major leaguer. He shut out Houston with a five-hitter on July 14 and his ERA for July is 0.73, an AL record for rookies.
Braves top Cards ATLANTA (AP) — Andrelton Simmons hit a two-run double in the eighth inning and the Atlanta Braves beat St. Louis 2-0 Saturday. Julio Teheran allowed two hits in seven innings, striking out six and walking one. Simmons’ bases-loaded, two-out double came on a 99 mph fastball from Trevor Rosenthal. Randy Choate (1-1) walked Freddie Freeman to open the eighth. Evan Gattis struck out and Brian McCann singled. Rosenthal relieved and struck out Dan Uggla before walking Chris Johnson to load the bases. Luis Avilan (3-0) pitched a perfect eighth and Craig
Kimbrel recorded three outs to earn his 30th save. Cardinals starter Joe Kelly pitched 6 1-3 scoreless innings, allowing seven hits. Kelly, making only his fourth start of the season and first appearance since July 12, matched Teheran through the sixth before finding trouble in the seventh. With one out, Simmons singled and moved to third on pinch-hitter Joey Terdoslavich’s soft double to the left-center gap. Kelly issued an intentional walk to Jason Heyward to load the bases. Right-hander Michael Maness replaced Kelly and got Justin Upton to ground into an inning-ending double play.

tough 1-0 loss CHICAGO (AP) — Kansas City manager Ned Yost thought it was a hit. Greg Holland was preparing for a tie game. David Lough had other ideas. Lough made a terrific diving catch to rob Jeff Keppinger of a tying RBI single in the ninth inning, helping Wade Davis and the Royals beat Chris Sale and the Chicago White Sox 1-0 Saturday night for their fifth consecutive victory. Lough’s grab in right was part of a terrific defensive performance for Kansas City. Center fielder Lorenzo Cain and shortstop Alcides Escobar also chipped in with two nice plays apiece. “We play great defense every night,” manager Ned Yost said. “I mean it was a great play by David Lough, but we play solid, solid good defense every single night for the most part.” Davis (5-9) allowed four hits — all singles — and walked three in a seasonhigh 7 1-3 innings. The right-hander, who came over with James Shields in Kansas City’s big offseason trade with Tampa Bay, was 0-4 with a 10.91 ERA in his previous four starts. “I got ahead of a lot more guys tonight,” Davis said. “I got some early swings to help me get deeper in the ballgame, too, and defense was pretty good today.” Louis Coleman came in after Alejandro De Aza’s single in the eighth and got Alexei Ramirez to ground into a double play. Holland then worked a shaky ninth for his 26th save in 28 chances. The White Sox had runners on the corners with one out when Lough scrambled in to grab Keppinger’s liner. Alex Rios did not tag up on the
play, and pinch hitter Conor Gillaspie struck out to end the game. “No-doubles (defense), so I was a little deeper than what I normally would be on Keppinger,” Lough said. “He kind of hit it pretty hard out there, thought I had a chance at it so I went for it and I was able to make the catch.” It was another hard-luck loss for Sale (6-10), who allowed seven hits and struck out seven in his fourth career complete game. The All-Star left-hander is 1-8 with a 2.84 ERA in his last 10 starts. “Just keep grinding. Stay on top and keep your head up,” Sale said. “Things will turn around.” Billy Butler and Eric Hosmer had two hits apiece for the Royals, who have won seven of nine overall. Butler went 2 for 3 with a walk and is batting .450 (18 for 40) in his last 11 games. Hosmer and Butler started the sixth with consecutive singles. Hosmer advanced to third on Salvador Perez’s fly ball to deep center and came home when Cain doubled down the third-base line. Cain’s hit put runners on second and third with one out, but Sale retired Lough on a harmless comebacker and struck out Miguel Tejada to end the inning. “He pitched great tonight,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “There’s no question about it. You can’t be perfect, but he’s pretty dang close.” The White Sox threatened in the bottom half, putting runners on the corners with two out. Paul Konerko then hit a drive to center, forcing Cain to make a nice running catch.

Alex Rodriguez became a cornered man NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez’s corner locker in the New York Yankees’ clubhouse is filled with four cardboard boxes of bats, a dozen jerseys, a dangling athletic supporter, two baseball caps and four books. Rodriguez, who turned 38 Saturday, is something of a cornered man himself these days. The Yankees consider him a major annoyance, referring to him as Mr. Rodriguez three times in a recent news release. That tension, however, pales when compared to what’s going on with Major League Baseball. Any time now, Rodriguez is expected to be hit with a lengthy penalty that could put him out of baseball indefinitely or perhaps even permanently. And MLB’s investiga-
tion to possible ties between Rodriguez and a Florida clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs isn’t even the primary source of the deteriorating relationship. The Yankees owe him just under $95 million through 2017, and he’s missed the entire season following hip surgery in January. After a week’s worth of high drama, second-guessing and radio interviews, it seems Rodriguez is about to be lumped with Yankees who sort of just didn’t fit, failed or just faded away — the Dave Winfield, Kevin Brown, Randy Johnson and Carl Pavano wing of infamy rather than the Monument Park honor roll of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra.
On the day he arrived in February 2004 after the big trade with Texas, the sign board outside old Yankee Stadium proclaimed: “A Rod, Welcome to NY.” Now the message from the Yankees is pretty much: We don’t want to see you ever again. During a conference call with management to discuss treatment of his thigh injury, A-Rod insisted on having one of his lawyers on the phone, later saying he “just want to make sure that everything is documented properly.” Following his third straight postseason flameout, New York appears to be in no hurry for A-Rod to return. Each day’s delay means that much more of his $153,005 daily salary is
reimbursed by insurance. For much of his career, Rodriguez has bristled at playing a supporting role to Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, wondering why his teammate receives adulation and he is met with a mixture of antipathy and scorn. Jeter strained a quadriceps and was allowed to rehabilitate with the major league team. Rodriguez strained a quadriceps and was sent to the minor league camp in Tampa, Fla., as if he had been a disruptive student dispatched to the principal’s office for a timeout. Wherever he goes, contretemps unfold. “It’s the nature of the business,” Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said. “Show business, right?”
SPORTS BRIEFS • Maclin suffers knee injury PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin tore the ACL in his right knee during practice Saturday and could miss the season. Maclin went down at the end of a non-contact drill and appeared in pain while on the ground for several minutes. He was helped onto the cart and needed assistance getting off it and going into the team’s practice facility. Philadelphia is in its second full practice under new coach Chip Kelly. The first practice with pads is Sunday. The Eagles signed wide receiver David Ball to the 90-man roster. The 29-year-old Ball played for Kelly at New Hampshire, and broke Jerry Rice’s Division I-AA record for touchdown receptions. Ball spent time in training camp with Chicago and the New York Jets in 2007-08. Maclin is headed into his fifth season with the Eagles. He led the team with 69 catches for 857 yards and seven touchdowns last season, and the former first-round pick is in the final year of his rookie contract. Two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson is Philadelphia’s other starter. The team has veterans Jason Avant and Riley Cooper along with several younger wideouts in camp. Maclin has averaged 64 catches, 863 yards and six TDs in his first four seasons. His best year was in 2011 when he had 70 receptions for 964 yards and 10 TDs.
Browns lineman hospitalized BEREA, Ohio (AP) — As Ryan Miller lay motionless on the ground, shock and then fear spread through the Browns practice. A few players near the spot where the backup offensive lineman went down dropped to a knee in prayer. The music system was turned off. All talking stopped and an eerie quiet filled Cleveland’s indoor field house. Suddenly, a routine day at training camp was anything but. “Anytime your brother goes down it’s scary,” linebacker Quentin Groves said, “because you never know. … We’re just big men that play a sport called football. But we still have hearts. We still have emotions. We still have feelings. He’s our brother.” Miller sustained a concussion during a one-on-one blocking drill Saturday, an injury that shook his teammates, who were later relieved to learn that the 6-foot-7, 320-pounder had been released from the Cleveland Clinic. Until getting word that Miller had movement in his extremities and was responsive, several of the Browns were worried Miller may have suffered a devastating injury. “It’s always tough to see your fellow linemen or one of your teammates go down like that,” Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas said. “It’s hard because obviously there are things more important than football and your health is certainly one of them. Sometimes it’s hard to get back and focused on football when you see a guy laying there and not moving.” Miller, who is in his second NFL season, was immobilized, strapped to a backboard and taken by ambulance to the hospital after he was hurt. He spent several hours undergoing tests before he was released. “He’s doing well,” first-year coach Rob Chudzinski said following practice. “He’s responsive and it sounds like things are better at this point.” The Browns were about 40 minutes into their third practice, which was moved indoors because of rain and closed to the public, when Miller got hurt. He crumpled to the field and appeared to be unconscious on his back while most of teammates, who were unaware that he had been hurt, continued to take part in drills. Groves realized something was seriously wrong and began alerting anyone he could. “The way he was laying down, you know it was that serious,” he said. Moments after medical personnel rushed to aid the unmoving Miller, Chudzinski came over to check on him along with linebacker D’Qwell Jackson and others. After Miller was immobilized and strapped to a backboard, the entire Browns team and coaching staff huddled around him in prayer. “We got together,” said Chudzinski, Cleveland’s first-year coach. “We said a prayer, said we would keep Ryan in our thoughts and I would give them updates as we got them. We needed to get back to work at that point and focus back on practice.”
Ravens’ Pitta out indefnitely OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta dislocated his hip in practice Saturday and will be sidelined indefinitely with what coach John Harbaugh called “a serious injury.” Pitta was carted off the field after colliding with safety James Ihedigbo in the back of the end zone vying for a pass from Joe Flacco. The receiver lay prone for several minutes before the cart arrived. The Ravens begin defense of their Super Bowl title on Sept. 5 in Denver. Pitta will at least miss that game, Harbaugh said, but the severity of the injury could keep the tight end out for much longer than that. The Ravens re-tweeted a story by ESPN in which a league source said Pitta would miss the entire season.

Carriers ease up with upgrades NEW YORK (AP) — Over the past few weeks, three major U.S. wireless providers unveiled plans to combat phone envy: Let’s say you just bought a phone, and then one with better features comes out a month later. You no longer have to wait a full two years to get it. Instead, you pay a monthly fee. The phone companies call them installment plans, but some think of them as phone rental. Before you pay off the cost of the phone, you’re entitled to hand it back in to get a new one — every six months with Verizon Wireless or T-Mobile or every year with AT&T. It’s a good deal for some people on T-Mobile. Unlike the rival plans, T-Mobile’s Jump comes with insurance to cover loss and
damage. And it doesn’t add that much to the cost of the phone. With Verizon’s Edge and AT&T’s Next, you’re essentially paying for the same phone twice. First, a quick explanation of how phone bills work. When you buy an iPhone 5, you might pay $200 for it, but it actually costs $650. Your phone company covers the difference and makes it up over the life of the two-year service contract. On the phone bill, it just appears as a service fee for voice, text and data. But that fee actually includes an amount that helps the phone companies cover the difference. The service fee doesn’t go down, however.

In this photo taken Friday, assistant winemaker and viticulturist Nathalie Jure Buckland looks at veraison, the onset of ripening, taking place on Cabernet Sauvignon grapes at Opus One winery in Oakville, Calif. One thing that is certain about the weather in California’s premiere wine grape-growing region is that there is no such thing as normal, and 2013 is living up to that adage. After dealing with cool temperatures in three of the past four years that slowed ripening and kept grapes hanging on the vine until the fall rainy season threated, growers in Napa Valley are dealing with an opposite challenge.
Calif. grape harvest early SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — There’s no such thing as “normal” weather in California wine country, and vineyard operators say this year that truism could mean good news for wine lovers. After cool temperatures slowed ripening and kept grapes on the vine until fall in recent years, growers in the nation’s premier wine region are facing a heat wave that has made for one of the earliest harvests in recent memory. “It has been a challenging year,” said Michael Silacci, winemaker at Opus One in Napa Valley. “But it’s shaping up to be an excellent year.” Weather hasn’t been this warm across the region since 1997, a year that produced a highly regarded vintage. If the heat continues as expected it could mean fruit-intensive wines from an early and abundant crop.
“We’re a full month ahead of 2009, ‘10 and ‘11,” said Jon Ruel, chief operating officer at Trefenthen Vineyards and president of the Napa Valley Grapegrowers. Dealing with changing weather patterns is part of the art of growing wine grapes, a long dance with the elements to achieve a precise combination of sugar levels and acidity expected from one of California’s top commodities, a crop worth $3.2 billion on the vine last year, which created more than $34 billion worth of wine. To bring in that harvest, growers are accustomed to being flexible. “There’s no such thing as a normal year,” Ruel said. “And this isn’t a normal year.” Growers can remove leaves to let more sunshine hit fruit. They can drop clusters to improve flavors and quicken ripening in cool years. And they constantly monitor forecasts to know
when an early shot of water will help get vines through a heat wave. For this vintage, vineyard operators started picking grapes used to make sparkling wines this month, a move that came toward the end of August last year. And they’re watching cabernet, merlot and pinot noir grapes, which are already in veraison, turning red and starting to ripen. “Everything is moving at a faster pace,” said Silacci, of Opus One, the cellar founded in 1979 by the Rothschilds of France and Robert Mondavi as one of the first for ultra-premium wine in the U.S. Weather changes are a major factor that makes vintages distinctive. In the case of Opus One, the cool 2011 season produced a Bordeaux blend with herbal and fresh fruit notes. The weather was warmer in 2007, producing wines with the flavor of ripe fruit.

Classic City marks 40 years BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcnews.net
AUBURN — Tending to the basics has kept Classic City Automotive in business 40 years, its owners said last week. The store specializes in basic parts for automobiles, farm machinery and industry. “We don’t have a lot of frilly stuff,” Lee Pontius said. “If you’re broken down traffic hours. in the driveway, I’d rather The restaurant also be able to sell you stuff features a fountain drink that will get you out of the station where guests can driveway,” John Pontius choose from more than said. 100 regular and low-calLee Pontius started the orie choices.

years later to the corner of Indiana and Michigan avenues, where the store remains. His son, John, now has moved into a leading role at the store. “Loyalty is a big factor. This community has been good to us,” John Pontius said about the store’s success. “We also have a great crew here.” “The staff has good knowledge of machinery, because we all get our hands dirty at times,” said Lee Pontius. The store’s newest employee is approaching 10 years with the team. From the beginning, the store has been open seven days a week. In the 1970s, that made it unusual — possibly the only auto parts
store with Sunday hours in a 75-mile radius, the owners said. As times have changed, the store has adapted to new tools such as the Internet, which makes it possible to get next-day delivery of parts from as far as Louisville, Ky., and Columbus, Ohio. For the last five years, Classic City has made hydraulic hoses in-house for use in farm and industrial machinery. But Lee Pontius said he still likes to maintain an old-fashioned feeling. The store’s staff and customers are like a family, he said, adding, “I always wanted to make it as close to an old general store with a potbelly stove in the middle.”

Vernon Miller’s farm started with his love of whitetail deer. He added more animals after being laid off from work at a trailer factory and eventually decided to open an animal farm to the public. The farm includes grass-fed exotic animals, and common farm animals, such as horses and pigs.

Amish farm provides close encounter with animals PHOTOS BY BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN

rouching down, Roman Miller holds out his hand to feed a four-horned Jacob sheep. Within seconds, the food is gone. Not soon after, an antelope, a Texas longhorn, and a Brahma bull follow pursuit. Miller does not shy away and continues feeding the animals behind the safety of his wagon. While most young children do not have exotic animals in the backyard, it’s not an unusual sight for Roman — his father owns the exotic animal farm, Dutch Creek Farm Animal Park in Shipshewana. When the economy went down in 2008, Vernon Miller turned to doing something he already loved: raising exotic animals. Miller lost his job at a trailer factory and thought opening a farm to the public might be a good idea. He already owned whitetail deer, his favorite animal. After getting licensed through the United States Department of Agriculture, Miller opened the park later that year. The park provides a close-up encounter with nearly 40 different types of animals on Miller’s 30-acre farm. Guests can meet animals in a walk through area and take a wagon ride through a pasture. On the wagon trail, guests get to see a zonkey — a cross breed of a zebra and a donkey — camels, zebras, antelope, llamas and a water buffalo. In the walk through area, guests can pet goats, llamas and a whitetail deer named, Firejack. Lucky visitors may hear Dusty, the cockatoo, and Ralph, the parrot, speak. The first years were lean, according to Miller. Now, he said, “The operation keeps growing.” By mid-July of this year, the farm has seen the same amount of traffic that it did in 2012, with more than 1,000 visitors. A guest book at the farm lists visitors from all over: California, Texas, Canada and even the Netherlands. At first his wife Esther was not keen on the idea of a public farm. She was concerned how it would affect their family, especially interacting with people outside their Amish faith. Now, the concerns are little — the farm is a family affair. All eight of the Miller children help around the farm, feeding animals and SEE DUTCH CREEK, PAGE C2

helping with tours. The Millers have four daughters and four sons and having the farm allows Vernon to be at home with his family every day. Esther said her children love being around animals, especially the newborns. “It’s fun having baby animals,” Esther said. Esther’s father, Raymond Wingard helps with tours during the busy season. He drives one of the two wagons. On busy
days, the farm can have up to 150 visitors. As guests ride in the wagon, the animals follow along because they know it’s feeding time. Wingard said they avoid owning any “meat-eating animals.” “We don’t want to deal with the hassle,” he said. “All the animals at the park are grass-fed,” he said. Owning exotic animals requires extra care, especially for animals used too different climates.
“As soon as the cold season returns, the antelopes live inside,” Wingard said. “They can get sick if they are outside during the cold,” Wingard said. Dutch Creek Farm Animal Park is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The park is closed on holidays. The park can be reached at 768-7194, ext. 2. The animal park is north of Ind. 120 at 6255 N. 1000 West, Shipshewana.

Church fellowship holding 100-year event BY AMY OBERLIN amyo@kpcnews.net
ALVARADO — A handful of rural churches in Steuben County started holding an annual fellowship meeting 100 years ago. This year, the meetings continue with the 100th annual York-Richland Fellowship Homecoming on Sunday, Aug. 25, at Alvarado United Methodist Church, 8045 E. C.R. 500S. “It’s an all-day affair,” PHOTO CONTRIBUTED said Pastor Lucretia Snyder of Alvarado United The Alvarado United Methodist Church will be the host Methodist, one of five to the 100th York-Richland Church Fellowship on Aug. churches in the fellow25. ship. It starts with worship 10-11:30 a.m. follwed by a include special music, a churches in the eastern part hog and chicken roast until community choir and a of the county. 1 p.m. There will be tents business meeting.

Church. Added this year was the Powers Church, a historic structure that offers several services a year. “The very first meeting was held at Alvarado,” said Snyder. It started in November 1913, when the Richland Sunday School delegates were called by president Shirley Teegardin to meet at the Alvarado church to arrange for a program. The all-day event was held on Dec. 6, 1913, starting with Sunday school at 10 a.m. and afternoon discussions. After that, the meeting was held every fall, alternating between the churches of the fellowship. During the 1915 meeting at Metz Church of Christ, it was decided to join York and Richland townships as one organi-
zation consisting of four churches. The convention was held at the Metz High School starting in 1930, and when the school closed in 1958, the fellowship resumed alternating churches. Attendance was good with the average Sunday school attendance in Metz at 80 people, 61 at Mount Pleasant, 67 at Alvarado and 15 at York. The annual fellowship event — officially named the York-Richland Church Fellowship in 1970 — has recently attracted around 50 parishioners. There were 163 at the 75th anniversary. Fate has it that the 100-year anniversary will be held where it began, in Alvarado. “It just happened to be our turn,” said Snyder.
She encouraged anyone in the community to attend. She said she hopes to see a lot of people — “People that have went to the church and go elsewhere, moved away. We always try to get the word out,” said Snyder. She said many of her church’s members come from Hamilton, and as far away as Auburn and Butler. While the churches generally go about their own business throughout the year, Snyder said the members, neighbors in a country setting, sometimes find themselves at each other’s churches. A couple of Sundays ago, Alvarado U.M.C. hosted the St. Joe River Boys, and Snyder said the stellar concert attracted numerous people in the rural community.
Pastor’s retirement can be an emotional time

The Baby Boomer generation is reaching the age of retirement. Thousands of pastors are announcing their retirement plans to their congregations. The people in the church will react in different ways. Some are glad: “Can’t wait to see the pastor out of here!” For many, however, it’s like experiencing the death of an old, trusted friend. When a pastor announces an upcoming retirement, most people in the church begin a grieving process. It’s like losing a family member, for many. They need time to process. They need to express their feelings. They should have an opportunity to show their gratitude. Here are some issues a retiring pastor and the church should consider. • Do not announce the retirement to the whole church too far in advance. If so, the “lame duck” syndrome begins. The
announcement should be public about eight months to one year in advance. • The leadership board should know one to two years in advance, in order to make a plan. • Every church leadership group should work with the pastor to develop a succession plan. • In some churches, when the senior minister announces that he (she) is leaving, everyone else on staff resigns (allowing for the new pastor to rehire them … or not). • It should never be assumed the associate pastor will become the new senior pastor when the senior pastor retires. Some associate pastors are not yet ready. Some are not gifted or called to be senior pastors. Others are ideally gifted. • The succession plan should never be the work of the whole congregation: 100 people will have 150 different ideas. This could be very disruptive to the church. • Many churches use an
outside, objective counselor to guide the senior pastor and the board through this emotional and difficult process of change. • A team should be assembled to plan a celebrafor THE tion the retiring CHURCH pastor and DOCTOR his/her family. • The succession Kent Hunter plan may include an overlap period between the present, retiring pastor, and the succeeding pastor. This part of the plan generally depends on the gift mix and personality of both.
•
An advisor can guide you. • Before choosing a successor, the church should undergo a thorough, professional assessment by an outside expert. This assessment will help determine the type and style of leadership needed for the next chapter of history. • Sometimes, particularly after a long pastorate, an intentional interim pastor is helpful. This is a person who “fills in” for one or two years, to help the church redefine the mission for the next chapter of history. • The retirement of a pastor is a good time for a church to reflect on and celebrate the past. It is also an excellent time to reconfirm commitment to the future. KENT HUNTER is known as the
Church Doctor. His most recent e-books are “The
Future Is Now” and “The J-Dog Journey,” available at no cost. He can be contacted at (800) 626-8515. His website is churchdoctor.org.

DEAR BRUCE: I went through a divorce a few years ago and ended up selling our house in a short sale (it was an FHA loan). I want to buy a house again and my credit score is good, around 700. I’m told there is no way to finance the loan until at least three years after the close of the short sale. Is this accurate? I’ve asked two mortgage companies with the same response. Is there any other way to finance in this circumstance? — John, via email DEAR JOHN: You say your credit is good; 700 is marginal, but it certainly shouldn’t prevent you from getting a mortgage. Since you do have a bad mark on your credit, it may well be that many companies won’t finance the loan, but there are others that will. Even though you’ve been turned down by two or three companies, just continue to look for someone else. What you are looking for is a pre-approved mortgage. Then you can go out and start looking for a house after you have the pre-approval. I am confident that if you continue to look, you will find a mortgage available. DEAR BRUCE: In one of your columns, this sentence caught my attention: “$250,000 at 7 percent could give you $15,000 to $18,000 a year income without attacking principal.” Where on earth can a retiree above age 70 find 7 percent interest without taking an unbelievable risk, one from which he or she could never recover if the stock market tanked? Any thoughts would be more than welcome. — Dorothy, via email DEAR DOROTHY: I am happy that my sentence caught your attention. When I say a 7 percent return, it’s not an unreasonable number. With $250,000 or more, you will be worthy of the attention of any number of qualified brokers who will have no problem averaging 7 percent or more. At the risk of being redundant, since this question is asked so often, invest in good, solid American companies that are paying a reasonable dividend around 2 percent to 4 percent, plus their appreciation overall. In the marketplace, 7 percent is entirely possible. I can tell you that I am not risk-averse. On the other hand, I am not highly speculative in my investments, but mine have been consistently earning over 7 percent for a good many years. There have been some bad years, but overall, it works well. Send your questions to: Smart Money, P.O. Box 2095, Elfers, FL 34680. Email to: bruce@brucewilliams.com.

It sure feels good to finally sit down and prop up my feet in front of a fan after a shower. It has been hot and humid this week. We have been trying to shade the windows from the sun. We have a wrap-around porch toward the east and south which provides some shade. It’s when the sun shines from the west that we feel the heat. In the house we pull the shades to block out the sun until the sun goes down. We use battery-powered fans but it seems on hot days like this they just blow the warm air around. Growing up at home we didn’t have any fans. In Dad’s later years he finally bought a small battery-powered square fan to help him get through hay fever season. My husband, Joe, and sons, Benjamin, 14, and Joseph, 10, with the help of the neighbors, put 400 bales of hay in our barn this week that we bought from the neighbors. Plans are to get our hay cut this week yet. Joe doesn’t think we will have enough as we put one

I made a chocolate cake and decorated it for him. We didn’t do anything special for our 20th anniversary on the 15th. Where have these years gone? It is only 8 a.m. and the sun feels warm already. Joseph and I watered the gardens with the sprinkler. The hose wouldn’t reach the one corner so we watered that with buckets. It’s time consuming but it is dry and needs rain. The Good Lord will provide. We have so much to be thankful for. Do we appreciate the many blessings we have? Let us thank God daily for our blessings!

be embarrassing. She plans to contact the wedding venue, but it has been three weeks and you’d think if something had been left behind that they would have contacted her. We are also going to check with the friends who packed up the cars. Any other ideas? — STEVE IN FLORIDA DEAR STEVE: Because your daughter knows a gift was purchased by her stepbrother and his wife, she should ask them how it was to be delivered because it might have been lost en route. Such things have been known to happen, which is why it is always wise to request that a merchant provide proof of delivery. That way the recipient signs for the package, and everyone is assured it didn’t “fall off the truck.” I doubt the stepbrother and his wife, having gone to the expense of buying something, would have forgotten to give it to your daughter. I also doubt the couple who packed up the gifts would have overlooked one. As to the venue where the wedding was held, one would think that if a package had been left behind they would contact the family that rented the place, if only to protect their reputation. DEAR ABBY: We recently moved to another
neighborhood. Most of the residents are elderly. Our closest neighbors are a very nice couple in their 70s. We’ve gotten along well, but a problem has arisen and I’m not sure how to handle it. I am DEAR a keen ABBY do-it-yourself enthusiast. I get Jeanne Phillips When home from work at 2 p.m., I love to go into my workshop and work on one of the many projects I always have going. I’ll do this for a couple of hours until my wife and kids get home. I admit, it probably gets a bit noisy with all the power tools, hammers, etc., and I usually leave the door open to let some air in. My neighbor approached me today and told me his wife usually naps from 2 to 4 every afternoon, and the noise I make is disturbing her. Until he told me that, I had no idea their downstairs bedroom is only a few feet from our communal fence. (My workshop is right up against the fence.)

All YOUR local events
Would it be rude to suggest she find another time to nap or maybe sleep in another room? I can’t imagine having to sit around and waste time every afternoon waiting for her to finish her nap, especially since she has most of the day to nap while I’m at work. This doesn’t seem fair to me. My wife thinks I’m being a bit hard, so we agreed to accept your opinion on this. — D.I.Y. GUY DEAR D.I.Y. GUY: I’m pretty sure your neighbor’s wife takes her naps at the time of day when she needs one, and she would be unable to adjust her sleep schedule to accommodate you. However, your idea of suggesting she try sleeping in another part of the house so she won’t be disturbed is a good one. Or you might agree to a compromise so she starts her mid-day rest period a little earlier, and you start your projects a little later. That way you would both get what you need.

Read up on good health hints to stay sharp Since I read a lot, I was happy to see a study from Rush University Medical Center has found that people who read throughout their lifetime demonstrate a slower rate of mental decline than non-readers of the same age. A lot of my time is spent reading medical information in my effort to pass along tidbits to you. The following are a few of the things that have seemed relevant to me recently. I hope they interest you as well. British researchers suggest that smokers who cut down their consumption of cigarettes die at similar ages to those who continue to smoke the same amount. They examined data from more than 5,200 people who were smoking when they were first recruited to two studies in the early 1970s and found that there was no significant difference between the death rates of those who maintained the same cigarette habits and those who cut down on their smoking. The death rate of people who stopped smoking was lower when compared with the other
two groups. Therefore, the smoking message is that if you smoke, stop. If you do not smoke, do not start. Also from the United Kingdom, the British DR. TERRY Medical Association GAFF has reported that food standards in the U.K. are worse than they were during rationing in the Second World War. Their consumption of fruit and vegetables has fallen faster in the U.K. than Western Europe, Eastern Europe and even the U.S., since their economic troubles began. The problem is so severe that the vitamin deficiency diseases, rickets and scurvy, are increasingly common among British children. Swedish research that looked into the diets of 71,000 middle-aged men and
•
women has found that those who ate little or no fruit and vegetables died earlier than others who ate at least five portions. People consuming hardly any fruit or vegetables died an average of 37 months before others who ate five portions a day. Adults who never ate fruit died 19 months sooner than those who ate at least one piece every day. People consuming three portions a day outlived those who never touched a vegetable by 32 months. Greek scientists suggest that drinking a beer can improve the state of major blood vessels around the heart. Their study found that the arteries became more flexible and blood flow is improved within a couple of hours after the subject drank the equivalent of two-thirds of a pint. The study found evidence suggesting that a daily beer may reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by up to 30 percent. Alcoholfree beer did not have the same effect. So maybe we

• should wash our fruits and vegetables down with beer. On the other hand, French scientists who spent 10 years monitoring 180,000 men and women aged 16-95 found that those with the highest blood pressure readings, pulse pressure and heart rates were those who drank neither tea nor coffee. Heavy tea-drinkers had the best blood pressures, with avid coffee-lovers recording only slightly worse blood pressure readings. In a Dutch study, men who drink at least two
cups of tea per day could reduce their risk of prostate cancer by more than a third. However, the study also found that the benefits of coffee on prostate cancer were negligible. If you do not like tea or coffee or beer, perhaps you will be interested in a small study claiming that a cup of beet juice daily could help to lower blood pressure. Researchers found a dose of eight ounces may help people with high blood pressure by cutting their readings by about seven percent. Tests suggest the effect is produced by beet’s naturally high levels of nitrate. High concentrations of nitrate are also found in celery, cabbage and other leafy green vegetables such as spinach and some lettuce. Other research suggests that thousands of lives could be saved every year if people ate more potassium-rich foods such as bananas. They found that people who have a high potassium intake have a 24 percent reduced risk of a stroke, based on data about
potassium intake and health concerning 128,000 people, who took part in 33 studies. They wrote that high quality evidence shows that increased potassium intake reduces blood pressure in people with hypertension. Now I will review the above. Smoking is bad for you. Do not do it. Eat your fruits and vegetables. They are good for you. Drink tea or coffee or even a beer daily. Most importantly, reading is good for you. So be sure to read this column every week. DR.

Avoid what-not-to-say New blessings help moments with new parents mother heal from grief germs at home! If you think you may be sick, we’ll have a visit by waving at each other through the window. We also greatly appreciate the hot or easy-toheat-up meal you’ve brought us, and the fact that you plan to keep your visit nice and short. We’ve had a busy few days/ weeks around here, so please excuse the mess in the house and the fact that I am still in my pajamas. … I may need to breastfeed while you are here. If this offends you or makes you uncomfortable, I keep some blankets close by for you to put over your head. While we find it very interesting to hear your stories about what things were like when you had your babies, please keep your advice to yourself unless asked, especially if it comes with an air of judgment. We have enough information coming at us, and we are doing OK, thanks.” Perhaps most acutely distressed in the very early months are the parents of preemies. Megan Lubin of Philadelphia gave birth three months early to her now-2-year-old and spent that time in a hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. Once he did come home, during winter, she and her husband didn’t host many visitors or go out that much. “When we did interact with the outside world, the comments and questions flooded in,” she said. “We certainly didn’t mind if people were curious or genuinely interested in our son, but it was hurtful at times when strangers would compare their child to ours.” Things not to say to the parents of a preemie? “‘Well, my child is the same age and much bigger!’ Or, ‘Your son is awfully thin,’” Lubin
suggests. “The worst was when they would compare what their child was able to do.” Brandi Jordan, who owns a parenting resource center in Los Angeles, said the way to avoid ticking off new parents is pretty simple. “I think that people should not give advice. Period,” she said. “People see it as open license when they see someone with a baby to give them their opinion on how they should have socks on, or they should have a hat on, or they need sunblock, or you shouldn’t be taking them out, they’re too young. Some people make themselves armchair experts because they’ve read a lot of things.” That, she said, is why the what-not-to-say problem is so out of control these days. Blogs, social networks and simple online search are the armchair expert’s best friends, said Jordan, who has a 6-year-old. Instead of advice, how about not coming over for a visit when you have a cold, even though you think you and your kids are no longer contagious? How about not asking the new parents of multiples: “Are they natural or IVF?” But she has a suggestion for new parents, too: How about not rejecting outright the experiences of your own parents due to their grandparently status? “A lot of new parents discount what their own parents actually know, but a lot of grandparents do have good traditional things that work really well,” she said. First, she said, parents need to realize that they really do need help. “Before, you didn’t need help because your family was right there and did everything, but so many people are far removed from their families.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Your sex life will never be the same. In my day. What, not breastfeeding? From diet tips to “little baby, little problems,” sleep-deprived and super-stressed new parents have heard it all. And they want you to stop it. As Britain’s Prince William and his wife, Kate, move along on their parenting journey, it seems even the queen has had a what-not-to-say moment. According to a special edition of Us magazine on raising royals, she exclaimed soon after William’s birth: “Thank goodness he hasn’t ears like his father!” Most every new parent has a greatest hits of lame advice and annoying remarks. For fitness buff Brook Benten, mom of 4-month-old Hayes, her list included her post-baby body. “My swollen uterus made me look like I was still five months pregnant,” said the Round Rock, Texas, mom. “I was elated to be a mother, but I knew good and well that I looked baaaaad. Well-intending visitors would look me once over and say, ‘Wow! You look great!’” And how SHOULD that have gone? “Compliment our baby. Tell us he/she is the cutest baby you’ve ever seen. But don’t compliment the body of the new mother.” Devon Clement is a postpartum doula in Princeton, N.J. Basically, her job description is to be helpful to new parents. She has overheard some doozies and made up a facetious script for clients to hang on their doors. It covers a lot of ground: “Dear Guests, Thank you so much for coming to see our new addition(s), and for bringing your smiles, gifts, and good wishes. Thank you, also, for leaving your
Sometimes it just takes something joyful, happy, perhaps unexpected to make old wounds heal. I am so happy to announce I’m a little, more than a little, healed. Some of you may know and some of you may not be privy into my heartbreak that turned into a deep dark depression … then I took my power back. I said to myself, “I can let this broken heart and sadness kill me or I can make the life of my son not be in vain.” I wanted to reach out to those of you GOOD who are hurting, those GRIEF who are lost, those who think it will never get any better. Retta Lewis I’m here to say, ‘Just hold on.’ I, too, have traveled the gnarly and stinging road to a new “normal.” It was so very hard, I cannot mislead you on that. I had days when I felt I just couldn’t do it any longer, I couldn’t wake up in a world that didn’t hold my child in the present. It was years after his passing that my husband and I decided to become foster parents. I had this incredible need in my heart to save the “hard to save” kids. And believe me there are so many out there. Through our process of being foster parents we came across a little boy, Trevyn, and I saw a light in my husband’s eyes that I thought for sure had been snuffed out by the cruelty of our biological son’s death. So we moved to adopt him. He was 3. He is now a very rambunctious 6 year old and very much loved. We continued to foster. Children would come and we would share our loving home with them. Some were surprised that some families still in fact pray and eat together, or go so far as to laugh and play together. And then one day, I still remember the call so clearly, almost as if I knew it was about to change my life forever.
•
It was a call about a newborn baby boy born addicted to drugs of all kinds. But when my eyes laid upon this child I physically felt a shift in my heart. A movement that was so strong and so real, yet foreign, too. I felt as though I was being healed from some of the terrible memories that had occurred in my past. I saw in him at only two days old that no matter what the outcome of this fostering I would allow my heart to open its rusty hinges and let this tiny package change me, mold me, kiss away the scars that my heart and emotions had become. And this is why I tell you, just HOLD ON! The clouds eventually drift on to some other poor soul, and you are left with just your grief. I hope you have the strength to hold on just a bit longer so that your new “normal” will be open to gifts of all sorts, more opportunity, a newly healed relationship, or a person that you could have never even dreamed up enters your life and lets you feel once again the warmth that allows healing. I am proud to announce that little gift, after fostering for 2 1/2 years, was adopted on July 12, the three year anniversary of our precious son Trevyn’s adoption, Tyce Escher Lewis became “officially” ours! I hold my son in my loving arms and thank God for knowing I needed him. If the standard route for creating a family had worked for me, I wouldn’t have met these two blessings. I needed to know them. I needed to be their mother. I know now why all those difficult moments had to happen. Or didn’t happen. They are in every way my sons. And I am in so many ways healed of sadness. I still miss my precious Zane, but I think he would be proud that I have opened my heart to two little boys that needed me, just like he did.

Stellar leading man elevates ‘The Wolverine’ Finding a great lead is half the battle when it comes to comic book movies. Sometimes the lead takes what would be a good movie no matter who it starred and makes it spectacular, like the glorious day that somebody cast Robert Downey Jr. in “Iron Man.” Other times, having a great lead takes what would be a decent movie and makes it JENNY good. That’s KOBIELA- what happened MONDOR with “The Wolverine.” If it weren’t for Hugh Jackman as Logan, that immortal, fast-healing mutant with the metal claws from the “X-Men” franchise, “The Wolverine” wouldn’t have nearly the heights nor the depths. In “The Wolverine,” Logan travels to Tokyo to say goodbye to an old friend - a very old friend, Ichiro Yashida (Haruhiko Yamanouchi), whom he saved the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki. After his death, though, things get ugly. The Yakuza attack the funeral, intent on kidnapping Yashida’s granddaughter, Mariko, and Logan, of course, tries to help her stay safe. Unfortunately, his previous fast healing abilities aren’t working, adding another dimension to his troubles. But “The Wolverine” also explores, in a better way than any other movie featuring Logan, the toll that immortality takes on him. Throughout the movie, Logan is tortured by visions of Jean Grey (Famke

Of course, he can’t stay that way forever. He soon finds himself caring about Mariko and about her adopted sister, Yukio (Rila Fukushima). Watching Logan wrestle with immortality, especially when he has a chance to give it up, is the meat of the story. Those meaty parts of the movie do get pushed
Vegas casino expansion pushes out 9/11 memorial LAS VEGAS (AP) — The city known for detonating its past to make way for gleaming new development on the Las Vegas Strip is preparing to push out its Sept. 11 memorial. The shrine on the Las Vegas Strip sprung up spontaneously under the ersatz skyline of the New York-New York casino in the days after the terrorist attacks. For more than a decade, a rotating collection of first responder T-shirts from across the country, many bearing handwritten notes, has decorated a wrought-iron fence near the faux fireboat below the casinos’ 47-story replica of the Empire State Building. Now, MGM Resorts International is starting a $100 million renovation of the promenade in front of 16 year-old Manhattan-themed casino and the adjoining Monte Carlo. The memorial will have to go. MGM says it will

relocate the shrine, which has remained a heartfelt marker amid the plastic artifice of the desert playland. “We are working with representatives of the First Responder community in Las Vegas to identify and determine an appropriate and permanent placement of the memorial to the victims of September 11th,” MGM spokesman Clark Dumont said in a statement Friday. On Friday morning, several quiet bulldozers and a pile of rubble sat around what remained of the display. In 2003, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas began collecting the T-shirts, hats and handwritten notes left at the memorial. It now stores nearly 6,000 of the artifacts in plain office boxes at the university library. Curators rotate the memorabilia through a permanent display case that MGM opened in 2003 at the foot of the resort’s 150-foot model
aside in favor of more and more action sequences — big surprise! — but that’s where the skill of the leading man comes in. Rather than spending pages and pages of dialogue explaining what is happening in Logan’s head, Jackman is able to get those complex emotions through to the audience by other means — facial expressions, the way he delivers a line, the way he carries himself. He clearly understands who Logan is, and Jackman embodies that character better than he ever has.
scene from the film, “The Wolverine.”
Don’t get me wrong. “The Wolverine” is not really a deep, emotional movie, at least not in the way that the gritty “Dark Knight” trilogy, for example, is deep and emotional. The action sequences start out silly and get sillier, and there are a lot of them. They’re well-choreographed and great fun to watch, but “The Wolverine” does not go for gritty realism, and, therefore, it gets a little silly at moments. But that’s OK. In a way, “The Wolverine” is a perfect
comic book movie. It features enough — almost more than enough — action and a great dose of fun, but without completely sacrificing the depth that lifts a movie above brainless blockbuster. And Hugh Jackman as the leading man? Well, that’s just the cherry on top. Jenny’s Take: See it before it leaves theaters. Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, some sexuality and language. Runs 126 minutes.

Statue of Liberty. Professor David Schwartz, who oversees the university’s involvement with the memorial, said he hopes MGM will relocate the display somewhere equally visible. “It would be nice to have the public be able to view the shirts still. It’s something unique to Vegas, though of course the tragedy affected everybody,” he said. “When we first got the shirts and we were going through them, just seeing the messages people who had lost someone had written kind of drove the horror of the whole thing home.” MGM is in the process of transforming the congested sidewalks in front of its New York City and European-themed casinos into an outdoor plaza featuring trees, benches, food trucks and shops. The new promenade is intended to recall Madison Square Park.

An intriguing old sofa can be seen as inspiring BY JOHN BRY
Spring cleanup time has come and gone in Auburn. That is the time of year when garages and basements across the city are purged. It was during this spring time ritual that I gave up. I carted “the sofa” to the curb. This is not just any piece of furniture, but a piece of history from my home. Every time my parents visit from Florida, my mother says, “Get rid of that thing!” My grandmother casts her silent unapproving frown whenever she has viewed “the sofa” too. The relic had been demoted to the basement, the sofa, not my grandmother. By the time I acquired the house in 2010, it had been dragged out for the household auction. The auctioneer called for bids. “Who will give me $50?! $25?!$10?! $5! $2?!” No sale. The crowd moved on, and the lumpy, brown, upholstered monster was left curbside. No one wanted it. No one could see the potential. Its scrolled detail, heavily carved arms and hammered upholstery tacks still hint of grandeur beneath the dog hair and stuffing. The cushions sag like an angry frown. The springs go everywhere, but not where they are supposed to go. Its Tudor Style was in vogue in the 1920s and ’30s. It probably maintained a prized location in the house over the decades when the Baxters and Hoods resided here. It probably comforted Doctor Baxter as he read the newspaper. It probably greeted guests during the

teas Jennie Baxter and her sisters Myrtle Showalter and Bess Hood hosted. The sofa had seen better days, but it was still sturdy. A tag proclaims “Karpen Furniture Co. — New York, Chicago, Michigan City, Los Angeles.” The Karpen Company was founded by five Jewish immigrant brothers who got their start in Chicago in the 1890s. They were known for producing massive pieces of furniture with heavily carved features. The sofa must have been quite the piece of living room décor in its day, but it is no longer comfortable.

the “beast” was moved to the garage to make way for plaster renovations. There it stayed nestled behind scrap lumber, rakes, and garden hoses during the winter.
When spring cleanup preparations began I tackled the garage. It was time to say goodbye to this antique, and the delusion of restoring it for a grand
return to the living room. That night an email came from my neighbor Sylvia who grew up at 108 N. Cedar. The subject line read “Goodbye.” “I see you are giving up on the old sofa. I remember how I used to dive into its cushions and hit my head on those heavy upholstery tacks,” she said. It seemed anti-climatic to see the couch carted off to the landfill for a lackluster burial. Sylvia was right. I was giving up. Many in town thought my home was a lost cause, too, and should have been demolished, but I had other plans and a vision that has defied the bulldozers and cynics alike. So why would I back away from a heap of fabric, springs and wood? Transforming things from a “It can’t be done” physical state of decay is what I do. I made myself a deal. If the sofa was still staring down 6th Street by the time I came home from work the next
day, it would get a reprieve. Twenty-four hours later there it was with the moonlight showing the sagging silhouette sitting firm, but not so pretty. Back to garage it went. The sofa has reminded me of life’s lessons, too. What could furniture possibly teach us? 1. Everything and everyone eventually ages and sags. It does not mean we throw them away. 2. Springs can stab you in the back, too. Put aside the pain they may cause, smile and forgive. 3. Sometimes we give up on our dreams and goals too easily. Stay true to your vision, and chase the doubts away. The sofa is here to stay. Just don’t tell my mother. JOHN BRY is DeKalb County historian. Contact him at sowles88@yahoo.

Options abound for kitchen floors

Q. What is the best floor for a kitchen with lots of activity? Kendallville grandmother A. Well, you know who, kitchen floors have come a long way since dirt, although they were maintenance free — after all, what good would it do to sweep? Vinyl, laminates, hardwood and tile all come to mind. Each is a merry-g- round — yep, ups and downs. Vinyl is inexpensive, relatively easy to care for and frequently can be laid with no seams if the kitchen is less than the 12-foot roll width. It, of course, wears in the areas of greatest foot traffic, requires seams that can become an issue and has some patterns that look similar SQUARE wood. Why get CORNERS to simulated wood look as long as they still make wood? Fred Kreigh Laminates can be bought in interlocking plank sections for easy laying, are quite durable and require very little care. It does collect small amounts of dust and garbage in the seam of the interlock and has many different styles that frequently simulate wood. I’ve heard they still make real wood products. Hey, let’s talk hard wood. If all these other products want their product to look like wood there must be something to it. This stuff looks exactly like, well, wood. If you have the time and can be off the floor for several days (this sounds like heading to a restaurant) I would use a finished in place wood floor. This will give you a surface coating that is seamless and smooth. Ahh, the smell of polyurethane wafting through the kitchen. If you want it light and airy, use ash; warm and unpredictable — pick hickory, more money than sense. There are all kinds of exotic woods that are hard as nails. If your tastes are a bit simpler there is always oak — practical, cost effective and plentiful. If you’re thinking tile, porcelain would be my first choice. One half of an inch thick, harder than rock (really) with a laser cut edge it would make the perfect lifetime kitchen floor. Always use a gray grout for the joints (goes good with dirt). Use a grout sealant to make care as easy as possible. Next week the Square Corner column will be written by the current president of the Builders Association of Northeast Indiana, Jeff Deahl. Please continue to send your questions to the BANI website listed at the bottom of this article.

Glass popular among collectors of antiques Two of the most talked about types of glass in the field of antiques are stained glass and Depression glass. The typical styles of stained glass used in the 19th and early 20th centuries included stained glass windows in the traditional pictorial style which was most prominent between 1820-1930, quarry glazing which came into use from 1850-1870, enamel painted glass which has been popular since 1800 and opalescent style glass which has been in vogue from 1870-1920. Non-figural quarry stained glass windows represent the modest beginnings of America’s stained glass tradition. Quarry glazing was a popular type of stained glass making used in the Renaissance period. Early quarry glazing offered small sections of glass assembled into a colorful lattice pattern and has been used on churches and other important civic buildings. Many Protestant congregations in early 19th century America adopted this non-fig-
urative method of decoration, in part because of a shortage of technical and financial resources, and also because of a distaste for installing imagery in churches. The ornamental patterning and use of universal imagery is evident in the mid 19th century stained ART & glass tradition. The rounded ANTIQUES or Renaissance framed windows Dr. Lori arch housing works of stained glass art was typical in the late 1800s or what has been characterized as the Renaissance Revival movement. This style was found in many well to do homes. The formal nature of such windows refers to the fact that it is a residence, rather than a church.
•
antique collectors pay good money for well-constructed and highly decorated pieces of stained glass. For pieces dating from the 1800s to the early 1900s, certain pieces are valued upwards of $5,000 to $50,000 depending on certain factors.
Depression glass

Depending on the size, style and condition of antique stained glass pieces, values on the antiques market can range widely. Architectural salvage companies and
American made glassware called Depression glass has a deceptive name because the glassware, typically used for dining, was first introduced in the mid 1920s and continued to be produced well into the 1950s — a far cry from the Depression era. While the glass was produced years after the Depression, this glassware is one of America’s favorite antiques and collectibles. You will find it in almost every antiques and collectible shop, flea market and yard sale. Everyone’s got at least one piece of Depression glass, even it if was made in the period when we liked Ike in the White House. In the collecting category of
1930s Depression glass, green is king. Green is the most popular of the Depression glass colors overpowering the traditional amber, yellow or pink varieties. Although the Depression was a period where the green stuff, a.k.a., money, was only in the hands of a few fortunate Americans, glass was an inexpensive product to produce. As a result, Depression glass became the centerpiece of the American dinner table. The most popular and highly sought-after Depression glass pieces and crackle glass pieces are those pieces of green glass. Glassware for dining as well as decorative pieces command high prices from the antique trade. DR.

‘Future That Never Was’ looked fantastic THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Flying cars. Waterproof living rooms that you clean with a hose. A pool on every rooftop. Many of the old dreams and schemes about daily life in the 21st century didn’t come true — at least not yet. Author Gregory Benford has gathered them — along with more successful predictions — in a book, “The Wonderful Future that Never Was” (Hearst, 2012). Some of the imaginative ideas just weren’t imaginative enough, he says. “Failures usually assumed that bigger would always be better — vast domed cities, floating airports, personal helicopters, tunnels across continents,” Benford says. Forecasters didn’t realize that being able to invent something wasn’t enough. “Just because high-tech change is possible doesn’t mean we always want it,” says James B. Meigs, editor-in-chief of Popular Mechanics magazine, noting the slow-food and handmade-crafts movements as high-tech counterpoints. “Sometimes affluence gives us the options to choose more traditional things. We choose clothing out of wool rather than synthetics.”

This photo released by Hearst Communications Inc. shows the cover of the book “The Wonderful Future that Never Was” (Hearst, 2012), by author Gregory Benford, who culled scientists’ and others’ predictions from the early 1900s through the late ’60s from “Popular Mechanics” magazine.
Two well-known failures: flying cars and jet packs. George Jetson kissed his wife then flew his car to work in the TV cartoon series launched in the 1960s, while TV’s Buck Rogers thrilled kids of the 1950s by fighting evil invaders wearing a jet pack. Such depictions created
This photo released courtesy of Hearst Communications Inc. shows an illustration from the book “The Wonderful Future That Never Was” (Hearst, 2012), by author Gregory Benford., Some forecasts, such as the “picture phone,” were spot on while others, such as cleaning house with a water hose (a 1950 prediction) were more fantastical.
a hunger for personal flying devices, but that wasn’t enough to make them a reality. “People have produced (both) those,” says Benford. “It’s just that neither is particularly good at being a plane or a car.” A physics professor at the University of California at Irvine and a science fiction writer, Benford culled scientists’ predictions from the early 1900s through the late 1960s from Popular Mechanics for this and another book,
“The Amazing Weapons that Never Were” (Hearst, 2012). “In the year 1900, everyone knew that technology drove their world and would drive the future even harder,” Benford writes. “That was the single most prescient ‘prediction’ of the 20th century.” At mid-century, plastics seemed to offer all kinds of possibilities: Take the magazine’s 1950 prediction that housewives in the year 2000 would clean house
with a hose. Everything — rugs, drapes, furniture — would be waterproof, and the water would run down a drain in the floor. Among the idea’s many drawbacks, which include how uncomfortable such decor would be, forecasters forgot one vital detail: Electricity powers our homes, and it doesn’t mix well with water. Remember how we used to think we’d have robots cleaning clean our homes, cooking our food, tending to our children? Sadly, that one doesn’t look promising, Meigs contends. Robots do fine on an automated factory line with one, simple task, but the home environment requires an adaptability that robots can’t muster. “Getting someone to do the dishes, butter toast, organize the shoes in your closet. Those are doable but really tricky for a robot,” says Meigs. “They have to improvise, and you know if humans are involved, you’ll open the refrigerator and the butter won’t be in the same place.” Yet 50 percent of the predictions that Benford unearthed in the magazine have come true, at least in
part. The “picture phone” was predicted in 1956, for example; see today’s Skype calls on the Internet. And those rooftop pools? They were proposed in 1928 as a way to cool homes. Air-conditioning later proved them unnecessary, but Meigs says the theory behind them exists in practice: as evaporative coolers on home and office rooftops. What are these experts’ own predictions? Benford says smart homes and self-driving cars are in the future; the technology exists for both. Smart homes, for instance, will respond to human presence in a room by turning on lights and adjusting the temperature, making them energy-efficient, he says. With Internet access, homeowners also will be able to lock and unlock their homes and turn on or check appliances remotely, says Meigs. (We won’t worry about whether we left the coffee pot on.) “That stuff will seem pretty routine, at least in new houses in the next 10 to 15 years,” he predicts. He also thinks we’ll have three-dimensional, hologram TVs in 20 or more years.
BANI Standard of the Week • Too often, undefined expectations create problems between builders and customers before, during and after their building and remodeling projects. Addressing some of the most prevalent issues, a set of Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of their projects against an industry-approved set of standards. These standards help eliminate problems before the project even begins.
The surface of porcelain, cultured marble, or fiberglass plumbing fixture is cracked or chipped STANDARD: Cracks or chips in surfaces of bathtubs and sinks are unacceptable if visible
from 6 feet under normal lighting conditions or if they leak. BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY: The builder will not be responsible for repairs of cracks or chips unless the damage is reported to the builder prior to closing or unless the damage causes leaks. The builder
PLUMBING FIXTURES will repair or replace any defects to meet the standard. DISCUSSION: Normal lighting conditions are defined by indirect sunlight or medium artificial light. High intensity lighting, direct sunlight, or artificial lighting aimed directly on an area is not considered within the definition of normal lighting. Likewise, sconce lights which cast light directly on a wall surface is not within
the definition of normal lighting.
The bathtub or shower leaks STANDARD: Bathtubs and showers should not leak. BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY: The builder will repair bathtub or shower leaks as necessary to meet the standard. HOMEOWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY: Proper maintenance by the homeowner includes sealing areas around tubs and showers. Maintenance of caulk seals and grout is the owner’s responsibility.
Plumbing fixtures, appliances, or trim fitting is defective STANDARD: Plumbing fixtures, appliances, and trim fittings should not be defective. BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY: The builder will repair or replace defective plumbing fixtures, appliances, or trim fittings.
Fiberglass tub or shower enclosure base flexes STANDARD: Flexing in
fiberglass tub or shower enclosure base that is caused by improper installation or defect is not acceptable. BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY: The builder will repair or replace tub or shower enclosure bases that do not meet the standard.

Artful decor from recycled paper THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Many of us dispatch our used paper to a bin, the first step on the way to Recycle Land. These household accumulations of paper and cardboard are just one more thing to get rid of. Luckily, there are designers and artists who see possibilities in all that wood pulp. They’re busy using it to create art, decorative accessories, even furniture. So what you sent to the recycling center just might find its way back, in some form, to your home. Trent Mayol’s company, SmartDeco, designs and makes heavy-duty cardboard furniture that’s simple, stylish and easy to put together without tools. The idea came to him when he was a University of Southern California neuroscience major dealing with the packing and logistical hassles of his fifth college-housing move. “Nobody likes dealing AP with furniture. Especially Restoration Hardware shows 19th century framed herbarium prints mounted under those living what we’ve glass from Restoration Hardware.

Fruits, vegetables meant Hormones help make new plants from cuttings to aid Ohio River renewal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI (AP) — Berry bushes and squash vines, apple and pear saplings, and inches-high corn plants growing now are envisioned to blossom into an “edible forest garden” in urban Cincinnati for the benefit of joggers, bicyclists, hikers and those who simply want to relax along a waterway. Community forest and gardening efforts have been popping up across the country, from Seattle to Pittsburgh, including other urban gardens in this city along the Ohio River. But this new project combines the goals of providing a new source of fresh fruit and vegetables for city dwellers with a long-term effort to renew the river, which has been polluted for decades. “Basically, we are transforming what this river corridor looks like. We’re giving the river a green edge and making it more inviting for people,” said Robin Corathers, an environmental planner and the executive director of Groundwork Cincinnati, a community-based nonprofit. The ambitious “Healthy People, Healthy River” project incorporates nutrition, recreation, education and artwork — along with major environmental cleanup. A 28-mile greenway trail is planned in the Mill Creek watershed, which runs from the Ohio River through Cincinnati and into its northern suburbs. The watershed has long been a receptacle for industrial waste, raw sewage, residential stormwater runoff and other pollutants. Mill Creek restoration has been under way for two decades, and the edible forest garden is a way to heighten public interest in it, Corathers said. Fresh, healthy food from the garden is intended to go to people who live within walking distance and aren’t

In this June 12 photo, Robin Corathers, executive director of Groundwork Cincinnati, stands next to the Mill Creek, in Cincinnati. The creek runs through industrial areas and has long been a problem due to deforestation, pollution and sewer overflow. The city of Cincinnati is growing an edible forest garden near the creek as part of a years-long effort to restore the Mill Creek valley.
near a major grocery store, and to food pantries. It’s also hoped the fresh produce will boost anti-obesity efforts and attract people to the area for exercise, learning and leisure. The site will include ground vegetation and a tree canopy. The garden also is a celebration of art. Jonathan Sears, executive director of Professional Artistic Research Projects in Cincinnati’s Northside neighborhood, and community volunteer Lennell Myricks Jr. spent a recent 90-degree morning hoeing rows of recently planted corn in an acre-size maze. Regional sculptors will donate works to be placed throughout the corn maze; when the corn grows tall, people will come upon the works by surprise as they search for the way out. “Long after the corn is gone, the art will be here,” said Sears. “And people will be able to snack on the other things that are growing.” His group is among many participants in the forest garden. The Garden Club of Cincinnati is contributing plants and volunteers, and other help comes from
neighborhood organizations, students, environmental groups, government programs and corporations. Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. has made the project one of 1,000 community gardens and green spaces it plans to help develop by 2018 in a corporate outreach project for its 150th anniversary. “There are so many healthy benefits to this,” said Chris Cerveny, a horticulture scientist for Scotts, the lawn products and service company based in Marysville, Ohio. Scotts has partnered with the U.S. Conference of Mayors, which granted $25,000 to the project this year, including donations of topsoil, compost and other Scotts products. The company organized dozens of volunteers to help clear and prepare the soil for planting. Ten sweat-soaked Duke Energy Corp. volunteers were working on a recent day, wielding machetes and sprayers to clear honeysuckle and other invasive plants along the Mill Creek. The greenway project is helping to revitalize heron, turtle and other wildlife habitat along
Take a look at new shoots growing on a favorite shrub or vine and you’ll see that the bases of these shoots may be beginning to toughen up, their once soft, green outer layer turning brown and woody. Such shoots, snipped from the mother plants as so-called half-woody cuttings, can be rooted to make new plants. Cuttings made from shoots still soft and green are called softwood cuttings. Those cut from thoroughly woody, leafless shoots taken in winter are called hardwood cuttings. Plant hormones, called auxins, play an important role in rooting any of these kinds of cuttings. Under natural conditions, auxins are produced in the buds and growing tips of plants, and are then carried down stems in decreasing concentrations. If you apply auxins directly to the bases of your cuttings, rooting can be hurried along, and you get an increase in the percentage of cuttings that root as well as the number and quality of roots that form.

This July 1 photo shows a rooted softwood cutting in New Paltz, N. Y. Take a look at new shoots growing on a favorite shrub or vine and you’ll see that the bases of these shoots may be beginning to toughen up, their once soft, green outer layer turning brown and woody. Such shoots, snipped from the mother plants as so-called half-woody cuttings, can be rooted to make new plants.
Powders to help you root varying amounts of powder Natural auxins, once extracted from a plant, decompose too quickly to be of practical use. But we can still use auxins by applying commercially available, synthetic ones, such as IBA and NAA, which are slower to degrade. These synthetic rooting hormones are available either in liquid or powder form. Concentrations and combinations of auxins will vary with the manufacturer, with higher auxin concentrations generally are used for more difficult-to-root species. Fungicides may be added to prevent cuttings from rotting. Apply a powdered rooting hormone by dipping the base of a cutting into the powder, tapping it to shake off excess, and then sliding the cutting into a hole without brushing off the powder. Because
might adhere to a cutting, rooting response to powdered hormone preparations is less consistent than it is to liquid ones. Liquid rooting hormones also are more rapidly absorbed than powdered formulations. Merely soak the bases of cuttings in the liquid formulations. The soaking time required depends on the hormone concentration. Whether you use powders or liquids to promote rooting, pour only as much material as you need into a clean container, then discard that portion after use. Eventually, the materials do deteriorate. An easy way to test whether a material is still good to use is to snip a leaf from a tomato plant, treat its base, then poke the base into moist sand or potting soil. If the preparation is still good, abundant
roots will have formed after a couple of weeks.
Technique matters You don’t have to go out and buy rooting hormone to root cuttings. Before commercial, synthetic auxins became available, some savvy gardeners would help rooting along by soaking cuttings in water in which stems of willow, an easy-to-root plant, had previously been soaked. And rooting hormones, whether from a package or from willow stems, are not essential in propagation, nor do they perform magic. No need to use them for propagating willows, chrysanthemums and other species that are so easy to root. And don’t waste your time trying to root stems from a mature apple or maple tree, or other plants that just do not root from conventional cuttings.
