Officer shoots dog in rural Albion ALBION — A dog owner says a Noble County sheriff’s deputy wrongfully shot and killed a family dog, but the sheriff and a witness say the deputy didn’t have a choice, our news partner, WANE-TV, reported. Saturday, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department responded to calls saying a dog was running loose and chasing children in a neighborhood at Bear Lake near Albion. When Deputy Shafter Baker arrived, he got out of his car to talk to a concerned resident. Baker said the dog, a Rottweiler, aggressively ran across the street toward him, barking, so he shot and killed it. Dog owner Jeremy Nordman said the dog was friendly, but a neighbor disagreed in an interview with WANE-TV. Nordman said he and his family were on an outing and their dog, Chevy, was tied up in the backyard and somehow got loose. He said when they returned home, they found their dog dead in the street. “It’s unfortunate. We never want to do those kind of things, but sometimes you’re forced to,” said Noble County Sheriff Douglas Harp. He said there was no time for Baker to use less lethal action. “This dog was in an aggressive mode when it was running at the officer, and so he had to make a split-second decision on what to do,” Harp said. The sheriff said Baker has expertise with dogs as a retired military officer who was in charge of the kennel at a canine unit.

Man ‘stunned’ by charge of rape Brown allegedly held woman at knifepoint BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
ALBION — A Brimfield man was charged with rape, criminal confinement and battery with a deadly weapon Tuesday in Noble Superior Court I. Jeffrey S. Brown, 49, seemed surprised as the charges against him were read. On hearing the rape charge, he said, “I’m just stunned.” The charges stem from an incident in which Brown allegedly held a woman at knifepoint in the 400 block of West William Street, Kendallville, on Aug. 7. Police used a Taser on him
during his arrest. Brown is formally charged with rape while armed with a deadly weapon, a Class A felony; criminal confinement while armed with a deadly weapon, a Class B felony; and battery while armed with a deadly weapon, a Class D Brown felony. Brown appeared in court Tuesday by closed-circuit transmission from the Noble County Jail. Noble County chief deputy
prosecutor James Mowery requested that Brown be held on $1 million bond because of the defendant’s lengthy criminal record, including a record of violent crime in Noble and Kosciusko counties. “He is a substantial danger to the public,” Mowery said of Brown. Noble Superior Court I Judge Robert Kirsch ordered Brown held on $100,000 bond, with no option to pay 10 percent of the bond directly to the county and be released. Brown also was ordered to have no direct or indirect contact with the alleged victim. When Kirsch tried to ask Brown questions to determine if a public defender should be
Teen saves his buddy, 5, from fire
Free before talks
BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — A 15-year-old boy is credited with saving the life of a child trapped in a bedroom fire in a mobile home Monday night. Kevin Williams broke a window with his bare hands to rescue his 5-year-old neighbor and “buddy,” Damion Shepherd. “We hear a lot about the bad things teens do, and we don’t hear enough about the good things. He saved the boy’s life,” said Kendallville Fire Chief Mike Riehm. Firefighters were dispatched at 9:58 p.m. to 1818 Oak Tree Road in the Maple Grove Mobile Home Park, on the city’s south side. Kendallville police had received a 911 call reporting a mobile home fire with a person trapped inside. Firefighters arrived on the scene at 10:02 p.m. to find smoke coming from a bedroom window in the single-wide mobile home, Riehm said . The home’s occupants, Lisa Shepherd, 27, and Damion, her son, were outside unharmed. Firefighters entered the bedroom by forcing open the door and quickly extinguished the fire in a trash container just inside the room. Firefighters had the fire under control at 10:08 p.m. The mobile home sustained smoke damage and minor fire damage. The incident happened during a thunderstorm with heavy rain and lightning. Shepherd said Tuesday she and her son were in her bedroom. When she left the room, the young boy apparently locked the door. “I was gone only a split second, and then I smelled smoke,” she said. She looked through a crack between the door and wall and saw smoke and flames. “I panicked and screamed. I couldn’t get in because the door was locked,” she said. Shepherd went for help at her neighbors’ mobile home at 1816 Oak Tree Road where Williams lived. “Before I could finish explaining what was happening, Kevin ran out,” she said.
appointed for him, Brown tried to protest his innocence. At one point, he said he was the alleged victim’s bodyguard. The Noble County Public Defender’s office was appointed to represent Brown. Court records allege police broke into a residence on hearing cries for help and found Brown holding the alleged victim by the throat, pointing a steak knife with a 4- to 5-inch blade at her. Officers used a Taser to subdue him. The victim’s hand allegedly had been cut by the knife, and she allegedly told police Brown had forced himself on her and confined her at knifepoint, court records said.
Israel releases 26 Palestinian inmates ahead of meetings DENNIS NARTKER
Kevin Williams, 15, of Kendallville, saved his “buddy,” Damion Shepherd, 5, of Kendallville, from a fire in the boy’s mobile home in Kendallville Monday night. Williams wears a bandage on the hand he used to break two windows in the rescue effort.

East Noble sophomore Kevin Williams of Kendallville demonstrates how he punched out a window on this mobile home to rescue a 5-year-old trapped in a bedroom fire.
Williams said he used his clenched right hand to punch and break the glass window to Damion’s bedroom on the north side of the mobile home. Shepherd told Williams her son was in her bedroom. He ran to the east end of the mobile home, broke a second window with his right fist and pulled the 70-pound Damion from the room that quickly was filling with smoke. “He was crying. I called to him, ‘Here, buddy,’ and pulled and lifted him out,” Williams said. Riehm said the teen saved the boy without regard to his own
safety. “This could have been bad. There were aerosol cans in the trash that went off, spreading shrapnel. The fire had started to move up a wall. He had the child out before we got there,” Riehm said. Williams saved her son’s life, said Shepherd. “The things that were burned can be replaced. My son cannot,” she said. The teen suffered a sprain and cuts to his hands and was taken by a private vehicle to SEE FIRE, PAGE A6
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel released 26 Palestinian inmates, including many convicted in grisly killings, on the eve of long-stalled Mideast peace talks, angering families of those slain by the prisoners, who were welcomed as heroes in the West Bank and Gaza. Buses carrying the inmates departed the Ayalon prison in central Israel late Tuesday, a nighttime release that was aimed at preventing the spectacle of prisoners flashing victory signs as has happened in the past. Relatives of the victims, many with their hands painted red to symbolize what they say is the blood on the hands of the inmates, held protests throughout the day, and some protesters tried briefly to block the buses from leaving. The decision to release the men stirred anguish in Israel, where many Israelis view them as terrorists. Most of the prisoners were convicted of killings, including Israeli civilians, soldiers and suspected Palestinian collaborators, while others were involved in attempted murder or kidnapping. Celebrations erupted in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where thousands of Palestinian well-wishers awaited the buses’ arrival. Palestinians generally view the prisoners as heroes regardless of their acts, arguing they made personal sacrifices in the struggle for independence. Fireworks lit the sky in Gaza, where rival Hamas and Fatah supporters, including several masked gunmen, celebrated to the beat of drums. Some danced while others flashed victory signs and waved flags of the Palestinian factions. Cars with loudspeakers blasted nationalistic songs. “Today is a day of joy and happiness. I can’t wait until I hug my beloved son,” said Aicha Abu Setta, the 68-year-old mother of freed prisoner Alla Abu Setta. SEE TALKS, PAGE A6
Rome City council orders concert venue changes BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
ROME CITY — Blaising’s Tavern owners will have to make changes to their outdoor concert venue to appease nearby residents complaining about loud music. The Rome City Town Council Monday night issued a directive that limits the number of concert events, relocates the stage, requires a sound barrier inside the stage and a 6-foot privacy fence
on the three sides of the venue and calls for an 11 p.m. end to the nighttime concerts. The stipulations do not affect an Aug. 24 benefit concert. The directive followed about a 45-minute discussion by the council, with council members Rob Glass, Ben Castle and Dave Abbott making recommendations before coming to a consensus. They did not arrive at a decision before the meeting, according
Abbott, the council president. “This is a compromise,” he said. “The only alternative is no concerts.” Approximately 60 people attended the meeting. The council’s directive to Blaising’s owners Adam and Carol Williams followed a special, 40-minute hearing on July 29 where the council heard public comments supporting and opposing the concerts. Opponents
primarily objected to excessive noise levels disturbing nearby residents. Blaising’s is on Kelly Street (S.R. 9), and the concert venue is behind the building, surrounded by a temporary, orange-colored wood and wire fence sometimes referred to as a snow fence. The elevated stage currently sits at the northwest corner of the property. The council stipulated: SEE VENUE, PAGE A6

Dealing meth nets 10-year sentence BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
ALBION — A Kendallville man was sentenced Tuesday in Noble Superior Court I to 10 years in prison for dealing methamphetamine. Joshua P. Sparkman, 33, pleaded guilty to one count of the Class A felony offense. He had been charged with two other counts of the same offense, as well as three other drug-dealing felonies and one misdemeanor. Sparkman also pleaded guilty to an unrelated charge
of possession of marijuana, a Class A misdemeanor. The marijuana was found on Sparkman when he was arrested for the drug-dealing charge, Noble County Prosecutor Sparkman Steven T. Clouse said. “It would appear that you were in the business of dealing drugs,” Noble Superior Court Judge Robert Kirsch said.
As outlined in a plea agreement, Sparkman was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with 10 years to serve and 10 years suspended and on probation. He was given 130 days’ credit for time served. While on probation, Sparkman must complete a substance-abuse assessment and any required follow-up and pay a $1,000 fine and $368 court costs. As part of the agreement, six related charges against Sparkman were dismissed: two counts of dealing in meth, a Class A felony, and
one count each of dealing in meth, a Class B felony; dealing in a Schedule I, II or III controlled substance, a Class B felony; dealing marijuana, a Class D felony; and taking a child to a nuisance, a Class A misdemeanor. Court records said in the felony charge on which he was convicted, Sparkman dealt meth in March 2012 in the 400 block of Freeman Street, Kendallville, within 1,000 feet of a school,. The misdemeanor offense took place in the 600 block of Berry Lane, Kendallville.

Albion rejects ‘Communities of Distinction’ Show would have cost town $19,800 BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
ALBION — The Albion Town Council decided it’s not worth it for the town to be among “Communities of Distinction” — not when the cost
is $19,800. The town received word before the council’s July 23 meeting that it had been chosen to appear in “Communities of Distinction,” a nationally televised program. But it was only while recording possible segments for the program that the town learned appearing in the show would cost $19,800. That led the council, by consensus, to direct Town
Manager Beth Shellman not to accept the offer. “I can think of a lot better ways to spend $19,000,” said Councilman Mitch Fiandt. Town attorney Mike Yoder suggested using video from when the town competed in Indianapolis 500 community contests on the county website. The town placed in the top three communities in the state one year. Also Tuesday, the
council accepted low bids on 2013 paving and sidewalk projects. Niblock of Columbia City had the low paving bid of $211,885. Gary Edsall was the low bidder for sidewalk work with a bid of $45,320. Sidewalk work will include a sidewalk from Orange Street onto Weber Road to Hidden Diamonds Park, and down the driveway of Hidden Diamonds.

they didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. County department heads from the courts to the clerk’s office presented the seven-member council with their budgets for the coming year, the first step of a months-long process. Those numbers now go the county’s financial advisors, who will start crunching the numbers to give the county a clear idea of its available revenue for 2014. Most department heads have asked the council
for wage increases of 3 percent for their employees. Cook said Tuesday if it were up to him, he could give every employee a raise, but he added the council still doesn’t know if the county can afford it. Once the financial advisors return their assessment, Cook said the council will hold a second round of hearings in September and make the tough decisions about how much to allocate to each department and what items to cut.

Carolina conservatives want more opposition in Washington LINCOLNTON, N.C. (AP) — Republican Patrick McHenry’s loudest constituents have no desire to see conciliation on gridlocked Capitol Hill, unless it comes from President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats. As the congressman holds public questionand-answer sessions with constituents during Congress’ summer break, conservatives and GOP loyalists who enjoy significant influence in his western North Carolina district are demanding that he and his House colleagues defund “Obamacare,” refuse to raise the nation’s debt limit and generally intensify opposition to the White House and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Congress has abysmal approval ratings, and polls suggest that most voters want the divided government to seek out compromise. Yet the no-holdsbarred attitude on display
here — and elsewhere as other House Republicans hold town-hall style gatherings — offers an ominous forecast of the legislative battles ahead this fall and underscores how little political incentive many Republicans have to reach common ground on issues ranging from immigration to the budget. The atmosphere has put Republicans like McHenry in a challenging spot. He and others are all but forced to square their criticism of the president with their unwillingness to go as far as the far right wants. In doing so, they risk irking the party’s most conservative voters and drawing a primary challenge; many face re-election in districts Obama lost in 2012. So at nearly every event over the past week, the 37-year-old, fifth-term congressman pre-emptively opened several recent appearances by suggesting that there are limits to the

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Air Force unit that operates one-third of the nation’s land-based nuclear missiles has failed a safety and security inspection, marking the second major setback this year for a force charged with the military’s most sensitive mission, the general in charge of the nuclear air force told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Lt. Gen. James M. Kowalski, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, said a team of “relatively low ranking” airmen failed one exercise as part of a broader inspection, which began last week and ended Tuesday. He said that for security reasons he could not be specific about the team or the exercise. “This unit fumbled on this exercise,” Kowalski said by telephone from his headquarters at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., adding that this did not call into question the safety or control of nuclear weapons at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. “The team did not demonstrate the right procedures,” he said, and as a result was rated a failure. To elaborate “could reveal a potential vulnerability” in the force,
Kowalski said. In a written statement on its website, Kowalski’s command said there had been “tactical-level errors” in the snap exercise, revealing “discrepancies.” Without more details it is difficult to reliably judge the extent and severity of the problem uncovered at Malmstrom, home of the 341st Missile Wing, which is one of three nuclear missile wings. Each wing operates 150 Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, on alert for potential launch against targets around the globe. On Capitol Hill, a spokesman for Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said that “two troubling inspections in a row at two different missile wings is unacceptable” to McKeon. “It is his sense that the Air Force must refocus on the nuclear mission,” spokesman John Noonan said. “The Air Force should hold failed leadership at the group and wing level accountable, recommit itself from the top down to the nuclear deterrent mission, and ensure a daily focus on its centrality to our nation’s security.”

GOP’s power, reminding his constituents that “elections have consequences … (and) this president is in office through 2016.” He found himself seeking to delicately explain why he doesn’t support a government shut-down or a national credit default, and why there’s only so much House Republicans can do to stop funding the health care law given that some of the federal spending is automatic. Still, at the Lincolnton Chamber of Commerce, about 40 miles outside Charlotte, Keith Gaskill told McHenry he wants to see “more backbone from the Republican Party” against Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and the rest of the executive branch. McHenry reminded Gaskill that he voted to hold the attorney general in contempt of Congress. And, when Lincoln County resident Robert Varney insisted that
Congress should remove Holder from office, McHenry noted that the Democratic Senate would have to hold a trial. “Do you really think that would happen?” he asked Varney, who was unbowed. Varney was among voters who praised Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah, tea party favorites who want to deny money for implementing Obama’s health care law even if that means not financing core government functions at all after Sept. 30. Others pressed McHenry on whether he would vote to extend the nation’s debt limit later this fall. And a crowd at Lincolnton City Hall erupted in applause when a retired FBI agent from McHenry’s hometown declared that “money is oxygen is Washington” and told McHenry that Republicans should “use the power of the purse” to extract what they want from the executive branch.

The upper-level platform from where 30-year-old Ronald Homer fell into the player’s parking lot at Monday night’s game is seen at Turner Field Tuesday in Atlanta.
Fan who died in stadium fall was regular attendee ATLANTA (AP) — A lifelong Atlanta Braves fan who fell about 85 feet to his death at the team’s stadium was waiting out a rain delay in a smoking area and talking to his mother on the Homer phone shortly before the accident. Ronald Lee Homer Jr., 30, had just told his mother that the rain was letting up and he was about to head to his seat for the game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night. At least four witnesses told police that no one else was standing near him when he fell over a 42-inch high, fourth-level railing into a parking lot for players. “He said ‘I love you mom, and I said ‘I love you too’ and that was it,” his mother, Connie Homer, said in an interview on Tuesday morning. Police said the fall that
occurred around 8:30 p.m. appears to have been an accident and there was no indication of foul play. A police report released Tuesday says Homer was unconscious and wasn’t breathing when paramedics arrived. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Homer didn’t appear to suffer any injuries aside from ones that were associated with his fall, Fulton County Medical Office investigators said in a release. He died of blunt force trauma. Toxicology tests were pending. The frequency of such falls around the country — including two others in Atlanta in the past year — raises the question of whether stadiums are safe enough. The Braves played the Philadelphia Phillies at 7:10 p.m. Tuesday at Turner Field. A team spokeswoman declined to comment on the circumstances of Homer’s death, or whether safety changes were being made.

VENUE: Only two concerts allowed per month FROM PAGE A1
• night concerts must end at 11 p.m.; • only two concerts (day and night) per month, and not consecutively; • after Aug. 31 and before the next event, the stage must be relocated to the southwest corner of the venue so sound is directed away from nearby homes; • a 6-foot privacy fence must be erected on the south, west and north sides of the site; and • a sound barrier must be erected inside the three-sided stage. The Williamses purchased the bar-restaurant and opened in November last year. The tavern had been a well-known landmark in Rome City for many
years, but had been vacant for two years prior to the Williamses taking it over. The interior has restaurant table seating and booths, a bar and a small stage for live performances. Smoking is allowed. At its July 8 meeting, the council granted the Williamses permission to hold outdoor concerts from 7-11 p.m. on Saturdays through October. Council members indicated they would revisit the issue if they received complaints about loud music. The owners hired off-duty police officers to provide security. The Williamses told the council at the July 29 meeting they sponsored the concerts to bring more people to the town, and
concerts held so far have attracted about 150 people. Council members said they understand the concerts are bringing visitors to Rome City and giving the small community an economic boost. They said they also understand how loud music can disrupt the lives of nearby residents. Castle recommended the stage sound barrier and a privacy fence enclosure. He also urged the Williamses to control profanity and “riot-like� language coming from band members. Abbott favored allowing one concert a month, and Glass supported reducing the number of concerts and redirecting the sound away from homes.
FIRE: Firefighters applaud teen for his heroics FROM PAGE A1
Parkview Noble Hospital for treatment. “Kevin wasn’t worried about himself. He was worried about saving Damion,� said Sandy Shepherd, Lisa Shepherd’s mother. Firefighters gathered at the scene after the fire and applauded the teen for his heroics, according to Riehm. “He’s my friend, my hero,� said Damion
Shepherd. Williams and the boy have known each other about two years. Tuesday afternoon they were playing football in the yard between their mobile homes. “He’s my buddy,� said Williams, an East Noble sophomore and a cornerback on the football team. His right hand and wrist are wrapped in protective bandage. “I called the coach and told him what happened. I’ll
be out of practice for about a week,� Williams said. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Broken windows were boarded up, but the mobile home is habitable. Noble County EMS and Kendallville police assisted Kendallville firefighters at the scene. AN EARLY VERSION of this story was posted on kpcnews.com at 11:40 a.m. Tuesday.
ROME CITY — The Rome City Town Council wants to repave Spring Beach Road and install a public sidewalk along S.R. 9, but may not have the money to do both projects. Monday night the council awarded Pulver Asphalt Paving of Albion a contract for $91,802 to repave about one half-mile of Spring Beach Road, plus a $30,000 contract to install about 500 linear feet of sidewalk along the east side of S.R. 9 in the town. Pulver submitted the lowest of five bids received for the street project, and it submitted the only bid for sidewalk improvements. Both projects could be done this fall, if the
town can find the money. Clerk-Treasurer Brenda Conley said even if the Conservancy District and residential property owners along the new sidewalk’s route help pay for the sidewalk project, the town does not have enough funds to do both projects this year. Rome City has about $95,100 in its cumulative capital development fund and about $27,000 in its street improvement fund, she said. Using all the money in the funds for the two projects would leave no money in the funds for the remainder of the year, she pointed out. The council discussed ways to reduce the cost to the city. The sidewalk ordinance calls for owners
of property getting new sidewalks to pay a share of the cost, and Pulver Asphalt Paving may give the town a discount for being awarded both contracts. In other business, the council discussed but took no action on a proposed ordinance limiting the size of outdoor woodpiles. Town attorney Bill Eberhard said he would prepare an ordinance, but warned it would be unenforceable. He recommended the council consider excessively high and long woodpiles as public nuisances that would fall under the existing public nuisance law. Councilman Rob Glass said the council should stay out of the wood pile ordinance business.
TALKS: 104 convicts to be released in 4 batches FROM PAGE A1
“I am so excited that he will be free and he will spend his first night among us after more than 20 years,� she said, clutching a picture of her 43-year-old son, who was arrested in 1994, charged, along with his cousin, of killing a soldier. Palestinians hurled rocks at the Israeli military vehicles escorting the bus convoy as it reached the crossing to the West Bank after 1 a.m. In Ramallah, the released prisoners laid a wreath at the grave of late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and were greeted by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas personally at the presidential compound. Tuesday’s release was part of an agreement brokered by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to get Israel and the Palestinians back to the table for peace talks that had been paralyzed since 2008. In all, 104 convicts are to be released in
four batches, although their freedom is contingent on progress in peace talks. Israelis and Palestinians are to launch talks in Jerusalem on Wednesday, following a preparatory round two weeks ago in Washington. Among those released Tuesday was a Palestinian convicted in the 1994 slaying of Isaac Rotenberg, a 69-year-old Holocaust survivor who was attacked with an ax as he was working at a construction site where he was a contractor. Others were convicted in the slayings of Ian Feinberg, an Israeli lawyer killed in a European aid office in Gaza in 1993, and Frederick Rosenfeld, an American slain while hiking in the West Bank in 1989. Thousands of Palestinians have spent time in Israeli prisons since Israel’s capture of the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in 1967. They were jailed on charges ranging from throwing
rocks to killing civilians in bombings, shootings and other attacks. On Monday, Israel’s prison service posted the names online of the first 26 inmates to be released to allow for possible court appeals. Israel’s Supreme Court rejected an appeal by families of those killed by the prisoners earlier Tuesday. The fate of the prisoners is extremely emotional in Palestinian society. After decades of fighting Israel, many families have had a member imprisoned and the release of prisoners has been a longstanding demand. Most of the inmates already have served around 20 years, with the longest-held arrested in 1985. Fourteen of the prisoners were released to the Gaza Strip and 12 to the West Bank. Earlier Tuesday, Israel angered Palestinians when it announced it was moving forward with building nearly 900 new settlement homes in east Jerusalem.

Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush runs during a preseason NFL game against the New York Jets at Ford Field in Detroit.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Running back Reggie Bush was one of the bigger free-agent signings in Detroit Lions history. That doesn’t means he will be hogging the carries this season. Joique Bell and Mikel Leshoure rushed for more than a combined 1,000 yards in Detroit’s pass-happy offense last year and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan thinks there’s still room for both of them. “They’ve all got experience,” Linehan said. “Reggie’s got the most and, really, Joique got a great year for us last year with the injuries and Mikel being there, too. They complement each other and they’ll be seeing some snaps for us.” Bush made his biggest impact as a receiver and returner after
New Orleans drafted him in the first round of the 2006 draft. He showed he could be an everyday running back after he went to Miami before the 2011 season. There, he rushed for 1,086 and 986 yards in consecutive seasons before becoming a free agent. It’s likely the Lions will continue to take advantage of his abilities as a receiver, much the same way Linehan did with Jahvid Best, who was let go following recurring effects from a concussion. Leshoure missed his entire rookie season with an Achilles tendon injury and was out the first two games last year due to a suspension. He proved to be Detroit’s most reliable back, gaining 798 yards on 215 carries and scoring a team-best nine touchdowns. He also caught 34

Mariners bullpen allowed one hit over 3 2-3 scoreless innings. Smoak had a two-run single through a defensive shift as the Mariners went ahead 3-2 in the fourth. “That’s what happens when you’re losing,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “You get plays like that going in their favor against us. When you talk about good baseball luck and bad baseball luck, it really exists and right now we’re getting some very bad baseball luck.” Miller’s second homer of the game, a fifth-inning shot, made it 4-2. According to STATS, Miller is the third player in the divisional era (1969) to record his first four homers on two, two-homer games.
SOUTH BEND (AP) — Notre Dame is trying to focus on the present. And who can blame the Irish? Not much has gone right for them since the calendar turned to 2013. After enjoying their first unbeaten regular season since 1988, when they last won the national championship, the new year started with an embarrassing 42-14 loss to Alabama in the BCS title game, followed quickly by news that linebacker Manti Te’o had been the victim of an equally embarrassing hoax — a girlfriend who never was. Then there was the disclosure that coach Brian Kelly had interviewed with the Philadelphia Eagles, the revelation that quarterback Everett Golson had been suspended for the fall for poor academic judgment and the defection of blue chip signee Eddie Vanderdoes to UCLA. Talk about luck of the Irish. Kelly says those problems are behind Notre Dame as it seeks to prove it is ready to consistently contend for national titles. “We’ve worked hard to put ourselves in a position to be back in the national spotlight. We have no intention of giving that up,” Kelly said. Here are five things to watch as the Irish look to post four straight winning seasons for the first time since 1995-98 and seek back-toback seasons with nine victories or more for the first time since 2005-06.

Miller homered twice to help Seattle send the Tampa Bay Rays to their sixth straight loss with a 5-4 victory on Tuesday night. Around 50 family members and friends were present to see Miller, who is from the Orlando, Fla. area, play for the first time at Tropicana Field. “It was awesome,” Miller said. “Before the game, getting to see, like, every coach I’ve ever had since I was 5, and my best friend, my parents. And then to go out there and get things going and finish it off with a win, that was perfect. That was a lot of fun.” Miller has four home runs this season, which have come in a pair of two-homer games. He connected for his first two big league homers on July 19 at Houston. “You could hear them, a lot of Miller fans up there,” acting Seattle manager Robby Thompson said. Tampa Bay also got two homers from its leadoff hitter, Ben Zobrist. According to the Rays, it is just the third time since 1916, when records are available, that both leadoff hitters had multihomer games. The others were June
passes for 214 yards. Bell, who once worked part-time as a security guard while playing at nearby Wayne State, spent his first two professional seasons bouncing around a handful of practice squads before he was signed by the Lions near the end of the 2011 season. He gained 414 yards while averaging five yards per carry and scored three touchdowns out of the backfield last year. He also caught 52 passes for 485 yards. Much of his playing time came because Best was unable to play due to a concussion. “With a couple young players to add to what we’re doing now with Reggie in the fold, everybody kind of brings something different to the table,” Linehan said.

After Justin Smoak ended Chris Archer’s night with a leadoff single in the sixth, Dustin Ackley gave Seattle a 5-4 lead on a triple off Wesley Wright. “That was a big turning point, especially with our bullpen,” Ackley said. Zobrist got the Rays even at 4 on his second homer of the game, a two-run shot in the fifth against Erasmo Ramirez (4-0), who allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings. Danny Farquhar pitched the ninth for his fifth save. The

KENDALLVILLE — Penn made it clear who was in charge at Tuesday’s Snider Invitational, which was played at Noble Hawk. The Minutemen, ranked No. 2 in the state in a preseason poll by the Indiana High School Golf Coaches Association, ruled the tournament. The squad had four golfers finish in the top five to close at 297, finishing 63 strokes ahead of second-place East Noble. The Knights fired a 360 for runner-up honors. “We played well especially under the chilly and very windy conditions,” stated East Noble coach Richard Bentz. Emily Song shot an 72 for medalist honors for Penn. Kari Bellevue, who finished in the top 10 at state last season, followed one stroke back. Jaycee Bunner of Blackhawk Christian, who finished first in Saturday’s East Noble Invitational, placed third with a 74. Alyn Clark once again led East Noble, shooting an 83. Following for the Knights were Kacey Van Wagner (91), Logan Handshoe (92), Cooper Handshoe (94) and Becca Alwine (97).

Richardson to make preseason debut for Browns BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Trent Richardson doesn’t have to wait and wonder any longer. He’s finally going to play for the Browns in an NFL exhibition game. Cleveland’s secondyear star running back was thrilled to find out he’ll play in Thursday night’s preseason game against the Detroit Lions. Richardson was held out of last week’s opener against St. Louis by coach Rob Chudzinski as a precaution because the former first-round pick was still recovering from a shin injury and the Browns didn’t want to take any chances. But following Tuesday’s practice, the Browns’ final one of training camp open to the public, Richardson was told by reporters that Chudzinski plans to use him for “a couple series.” “Oh, he told you I’m playing?” Richardson said, surrounded by media members standing near the goal post. “Hey, I’m surprised like y’all and I’m
happy and I can’t wait to get up out there.” Richardson missed the entire preseason as a rookie a year ago while recovering from knee surgery. He had hoped to play in all four games this summer, but the Browns took the safe route last week and rested him against the Rams. Now, it’s time to turn Richardson loose. He worked extensively with the starters during practice, and afterward Chudzinski announced Richardson will play this week. Not a lot, but some. “I kind of had a feeling he was going to say yeah today because he had me going in there with starters today,” Richardson said. “It felt good when I was out there and I’m happy coach told y’all I can play.” Richardson rushed for 950 yards last season despite playing most of the year with broken ribs. The Browns are eager to see what he can do in their revamped offense.
RG3: ‘no conflict’ with Redskins coach RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Robert Griffin III took another shot at explaining his relationship with Mike Shanahan on Tuesday, making a surprise appearance in the Washington Redskins media room to proclaim that “there is no conflict” between quarterback and coach. “Just want everybody to know if there’s any questions about if there’s a rift between me and Coach, or if there’s a conflict, there is no conflict,” Griffin said. “Coaches coach. I’m the player. Coach has a plan, and I’m abiding by that plan. I’m doing everything the coaches are asking me to do. I trust those guys. They want me to have a long career. And that’s what part of this plan is about.” Griffin said comments he made during his weekly news conference on Monday have been misinterpreted. Griffin said Monday that he didn’t like his restrictive practice plan and didn’t completely understand Shanahan’s reasoning behind it. “Yesterday I voiced my opinion about it because I was asked about it, and that’s been twisted and turned and tried to put against his team,” Griffin said. “And that’s not what we want.” Griffin has been limited to 7-on-7 drills as he returns from reconstructive surgery on his right knee. He has been publicly lobbying to do more, saying on Monday that he’s “dang near close to 100 percent.” He also wants to play in a preseason game, an idea vetoed by Shanahan. Griffin is scheduled to take his first 11-on-11 snaps Wednesday, albeit on a limited basis. Griffin spoke for 66
seconds Tuesday and took no questions. He finished with a smile and said: “I’m excited about tomorrow.” The to-and-fro between Griffin and Shanahan has become the weekly highlight of camp. Griffin makes his case in front of the microphones, then Shanahan appears a few hours later and reminds everyone that the coach is the one in charge. Asked Tuesday about the dynamic of having a franchise player who publicly disagrees with him, Shanahan referenced his relationship with John Elway when both were with the Denver Broncos. “Robert is an energetic guy who wants to play. He shared with you how bad he wants to play,” Shanahan said. “I do talk to Robert. I talk to him about different ways that I think that you can lead or different ways to handle different situations. I will throughout the year, but it doesn’t change a person’s personality. “Me and John Elway used to have knock-down, drag-out fights all the time. And that’s part of being a competitor, and that’s another reason you have great relationships with your quarterbacks.” The saga continues Wednesday. Asked how many 11-on-11 snaps Griffin will get, Shanahan smiled. “I’m going to try to keep this very exciting for everybody so you guys can count the reps,” Shanahan said. “We’ve got a plan. Each week will be a little bit different, and we’ll see how the plan goes. Once I share the plan with you, if I do change it, then all of a sudden the world starts tumbling down. I don’t need it on SportsCenter every time he takes a rep.”
LIONS: Detroit will face Browns in preseason play on Thursday FROM PAGE B1
Detroit could use a boost for its running game. It ranked 24th in the league with 81 yards per game, but that made them a good fit in the NFC North, where none of the four teams cracked the top 20 in rushing yards. The Lions play their second exhibition game Thursday night at Cleveland and open the season Sept. 8 against visiting Minnesota. NOTES: Receivers Calvin Johnson and Ryan Broyles got the day off from drills. . Safety Louis Delmas (knee) said Tuesday there’s no timetable for his return. “Is it important for me to
get out there? Yes,” he said. “Is it wise? I don’t think so. I’m doing everything I can to prepare mentally and physically off the field.” The Lions will see Cleveland during the sixth week of the regular season but head coach Jim Schwartz isn’t concerned with what the teams might show or hesitate to show each other during Thursday’s preseason matchup. “Over the course of the season, you’re going to show those things anyway,” he said. “You wanna see players win, not schemes win (in a preseason game).”

Knights set for start of soccer season BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — It’s almost time for soccer. Both East Noble squads will begin their seasons on Tuesday, with the girls squad opening at home against Huntington North and the boys team playing at Garrett. The East Noble girls squad claimed a 2-0 win over Huntington North in last season’s opener. “It’s normally a pretty good game,” said Paul Cook, who returns as head coach of the girls squad. “We’ve beaten them the
last couple of years.” Cook’s squad retains its leading scorer, assist leader, and goaltender from a season ago. “We have a good feeling, we think we’ll be competitive,” Cook said. Melissa Huff led the team in scoring with six goals. Jocelyn Houlihan was the team’s assist leader and Vickie Nguyen made 233 saves at keeper. All are seniors. “We’ve got 11 returning seniors, some with four years varsity experience, plus 13 incoming freshman,” Cook
explained. “This year we’re looking for some of our seniors to shine.” The biggest loss from last year’s team is four-year letterwinner Grace Chorpenning. Following Tuesday’s opener, the Knights will play at Lakeland on Thursday, Aug. 22 and begin the final season of Northeast Hoosier Conference play on Aug. 29 at home against Homestead. East Noble’s boys squad lost its top performer with the graduation of 12-goal scorer Tyler Housholder. But the
Knights do retain keeper Kaleb Williams, who made 35 saves and limited opponents to just 15 goals on the season. The talented senior had two shutouts a year ago. The boys squad had a 10-0-1 stretch late last season and made it all the way to the sectional finals. Following the opener at Garrett, the boys team is at Homestead for the NHC opener on Aug. 29 and plays its first home match on Saturday, Aug. 31 against Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian at 10 a.m.

Reds 6, Cubs 4 Shin-Soo Choo hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the 11th inning and J.J. Hoover provided
terrific relief work on his 26th birthday, helping the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 6-4. With no outs and the bases loaded, Choo jumped
on the first pitch he got from Eduardo Sanchez (0-1) and lined it into the gap in right-center. Ryan Ludwick and Devin Mesoraco came around to score.
Sanchez walked the first two batters of the inning and Cesar Izturis reached on an error by third baseman Donnie Murphy to set up Choo’s clutch swing.
IRISH: Notre Dame roster is loaded with children of famous parents FROM PAGE B1
1. NEW STARS: The Irish lost their best big-play players in linebacker Manti Te’o, tight end Tyler Eifert (both NFL draft picks) and Golson. The two biggestname returnees are defensive linemen Louis Nix III and Stephon Tuitt. The Irish need to find a go-to guy on offense and leaders on defense. On offense, the Irish need to establish a deep threat. Aside from TJ Jones and DeVaris Daniels, no other returning receiver caught more than seven passes. Te’o was the face of the defense, winning just about every award shy of the Heisman. On offense and defense, the Irish need to find playmakers. 2. REPLACING GOLSON: Golson wasn’t outstanding as a first-year starter, but good enough to help the Irish go 12-0 during the regular season and get to the national championship game. Tommy Rees is back in as the starter after losing out to Golson by throwing 14 interceptions and losing five fumbles in 2011. He is 14-4 as a starter and played key roles in four victories last season. The Irish need him to make good decisions and be an accurate passer. Kelly is looking to return to the fast-tempo offense his squads were known for at Cincinnati and Central Michigan. Kelly says he believes having Rees at quarterback will make it easier because he knows the offense better and can read defenses better than Golson.
AP
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly heads off the field after the Blue-Gold spring NCAA game in South Bend After enjoying the best regular season since winning its last national championship in 1988, not much has gone right for the Fighting Irish since the calendar turned to 2013.
Kelly also says he’ll considering using a “complementary” quarterback, meaning he could insert Andrew Hendrix to establish a running threat. 3. DOMINANT DEFENSE: Notre Dame looked like a dominant defense until it ran into Alabama, giving up season highs in points, total offense (529 yards), rushing yards (265) and first downs (28). The Irish return eight starters from a squad that finished seventh in the nation in
total defense — their best showing in 32 years. The Irish say they believe even without Te’o they can be even better than last year. The last time the Irish were ranked in the top 10 in total defense in back-to-back seasons was in 1973 (No. 2) and 1974 (No. 1) — the last two seasons Ara Parseghian was coach. 4. BALL CARRIERS: The Irish finished 38th in the nation in rushing offense, their best finish in 11 seasons. But their top two
rushers from last season, Theo Riddick (917 yards) and Cierre Wood (742 yards) are gone and the Irish are without Golson (298 yards). Notre Dame’s only 1,000-yard rusher the past six seasons was Wood in 2011. The leading candidates to carry the load this year are George Atkinson III and Amir Carlisle. Atkinson averaged 7.1 yards a carry on 51 carries last season, while coaches say Carlisle, a transfer from USC who missed all of last season with an ankle injury, has a great initial burst and good hands. Freshman Greg Bryant and returning backs Cam McDaniel and Will Mahone also are vying for time. 5. SHINING SONS: The Irish roster is loaded with children of famous fathers. Among those who could see significant playing time are Atkinson (father played for the Oakland Raiders); cornerback Austin Collinsworth (father, Cris, is a former Bengals receiver); offensive lineman Conor Hanraty (father was quarterback on 1966 national championship team); and receiver Corey Robinson (father, David, was an NBA Hall of Famer). Others include receiver Torii Hunter Jr., who is still recovering from a broken femur sustained during an all-star game (father plays for the Detroit Tigers) and walk-on cornerback Jesse Bongiovi (father is singer Jon Bon Jovi). It will be interesting to see how many of them can make names for themselves.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Voters to decide on $217M Astrodome bond issue HOUSTON (AP) — The fate of a plan to renovate the Houston Astrodome, an iconic stadium that’s fallen into disrepair since it was shuttered four years ago, will be in the hands of voters this fall. Harris County commissioners on Tuesday approved placing a measure on the Nov. 5 ballot that will ask voters to authorize up to $217 million in bonds to pay for a plan to turn the stadium into a giant convention center and exhibition space. County commissioners, who unanimously approved placing the measure on the ballot, said it was important that voters decide the Astrodome’s future. Commissioners stressed Tuesday that voters must understand that approval of the measure would lead to a property tax increase of around half a cent per $100 of assessed value. Officials said they will try to make that as clear as possible on the ballot measure. On a home valued at about $200,000, officials said a person’s tax bill would go up about $8 per year if the measure is approved. Officials say tax breaks, naming rights and other incentives are expected to lower the project’s cost. The final figure on the ballot is expected to be lower than $217 million. Opened in 1965, the Astrodome was dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” The 400,000-square foot dome was once home to Major League Baseball’s Houston Astros and the NFL’s Houston Oilers. It was also home to the city’s rodeo until 2003.
Colts activate Bradshaw, Angerer from PUP list ANDERSON (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts have activated running back Ahmad Bradshaw and linebacker Pat Angerer from the physically unable to perform list. Both are eligible to practice, though Bradshaw said Tuesday he would not play against the Giants, his former team, on Sunday night. Indy signed Bradshaw in June after he had offseason surgery on his right foot. When training camp opened July 27, Bradshaw was already on the PUP list. That barred him from practicing until he was activated. But after participating in a walkthrough last week, league officials instructed the Colts to activate Bradshaw. Coach Chuck Pagano called Bradshaw day-to-day and said he would be eased into practice. Angerer, the Colts’ top tackler in 2011, also had offseason surgery on his right foot.
N.D. oil patch city prepares for brief baseball boom FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A city in the heart of the western North Dakota oil patch will be changing its label from Boomtown USA to baseball town for one week. Williston is the host site for the 13-year-old Babe Ruth World Series. Pool play for the 10-team tournament is scheduled to begin Saturday. Some of the teams are preparing for a long day of travel on Wednesday. The Niskayuna, N.Y., team will be taking a bus about 200 miles to Boston, flying to Chicago and Fargo, and catching another bus for the 400-mile trip to Williston. Niskayuna coach Chris Bianchi says his players are treating the trip as an adventure. He says the travel might be hardest on the adults. Three of the teams are from North Dakota: Williston, Fargo and Grand Forks.
Albany coach Bob Ford announces retirement ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Longtime University at Albany football coach Bob Ford is coaching his last season. Ford announced Tuesday at the team’s media day that he’ll retire after the season. Hired in 1970, he’s the longest tenured coach in college football. With 264 career victories, Ford ranks second among all active college coaches and first among active Division I coaches. He’s been named Northeast Conference coach of the year four times and has led the Great Danes to six NEC titles. At one time, Ford was the youngest head football coach in the nation when at 26 he took over the reins at St. Lawrence University in 1965. He will end his career as the nation’s oldest. He turns 76 next month.
Colquitt now highest-paid punter in family, NFL ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Britton Colquitt is the NFL’s new highest-paid punter. Colquitt became the league’s highestpaid punter when he signed his three-year, $11.7 million extension upon arriving to work Monday. The deal included a $3 million signing bonus that, when added to this year’s $1.275 million salary, also makes him the NFL’s highest-compensated punter in 2013. His extension averages $3.9 million a season, besting the $3.75 million average that his older brother, Dustin, is getting with a five-year, $18.75 million deal he signed this spring with the Kansas City Chiefs. Colquitt’s father, Craig, won two Super Bowls as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ punter from 1978-84.

Eric Holder and Jeffrey Jarrett Yes, Mr. Holder, there are things worse than nonviolent illegal drug offenders. Crimes against children come to mind. And so does Jeffrey Jarrett. On Monday in DeKalb County Superior Court II, Jarrett, 35, of the 2600 block of C.R. 56, Auburn, pleaded guilty to two counts of theft of more than $100,000, a Class C felony, and two counts of theft, a Class D felony, as part of a plea agreement. Jarrett, a DeKalb County investment adviser, has admitted the theft of $354,000 from four of his clients. Sentencing is open to the court, and the court will establish the terms MATT of restitution, including restitution in three charges GETTS that will be dismissed as part of the plea agreement. The charges to be dismissed are theft, a Class C felony; forgery, a Class C felony; and theft, a Class D felony. A Class C felony carries a possible sentence of two to eight years in prison, and a Class D felony carries a possible penalty of six months to three years in prison. Judge Monte Brown took the agreement under advisement and scheduled a sentencing hearing for Oct. 7. Also on Monday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced a major shift in federal sentencing policies. According to The Associated Press, the shift targets long mandatory terms that Holder said have flooded the nation’s prisons with low-level drug offenders and have diverted crime-fighting dollars that could be far better spent. As a first step, Holder has instructed federal prosecutors to stop charging many nonviolent drug defendants with offenses that carry Basically, the United mandatory minimum States of America no sentences. longer can afford to Holder said he wants to finance the incarceradivert people tion of low-level drug convicted of low-level offenders. offenses to drug treatment and community service programs and expand a prison program to allow for release of some elderly, nonviolent offenders. Basically, the United States of America no longer can afford to finance the incarceration of low-level drug offenders. No one wants to live next to a drug dealer, low-level or not (unless you are a drug user, one supposes). But apparently, no one wants to pay to make sure that doesn’t happen (though no one from the federal government has called to ask me if this is the case or not.). By encouraging this behavior, Holder is giving the federal government’s endorsement of permitting a type of behavior most of us find abhorrent to occur in our neighborhoods. Realistically, there are worse things than selling dime bags of marijuana. Take Mr. Jarrett’s crimes. While no motive has been discussed for the thefts he has admitted to, it doesn’t take a large leap in cognition to come to the conclusion that greed had something to do with it. In at least two instances, the victims were retired people who had trusted Jarrett to take their money and turn it into more money. The future these people had prepared for has taken a serious hit. While it could be argued that petty drug crimes are victimless, Jarrett’s crimes are heinous because there are victims. At least to some extent, Jarrett has taken away not just money, but also a sense of security. Hopefully, Judge Brown will send a stronger message on Oct. 7 than Holder sent on Monday.

Letters to The Editor • Education is a lifetime adventure To the editor: Recently, there has been a lot of attention given to education. There is talk of test scores, schedules, costs and grading. In all this, the most important phases of education have been ignored. Overlooked is the fact that education is a lifetime adventure. We come into this world knowing nothing. The most gifted orator could not speak, the greatest athlete could not walk, and the most fastidious person could not care for himself or herself. All we know is learned behavior. Our education begins shortly after we are born, and the best seat of learning is a home with caring parents. These early instructions include fair, firm and gentle discipline. Respect, good manners and instructions of right and wrong must be learned. Good communication expressed in appropriate language and the importance of obedience is learning during these years. The importance of sharing and living with siblings and friends needs to be taught. Creativity, imagination and responsibility needs encouragement. The list goes on while a feeling of love and safety is provided. These lessons are the start of a happy life. The next phase was once called “common sense.” It is taking early lessons plus academic learning into everyday
life. Life is not programmed minute by minute in any manual, so a bit of thinking is involved. Cause and effect, and that actions have consequences or rewards must be understood. As a modern society, we are not encouraged to think, and common sense is not so common. The best teachers in life are experiences. We must learn from our mistakes and watching the mistakes of others. Our society would be much better if we spent more time learning the lessons of life outside the classroom. Academics are very important, but lessons in moral behavior, citizenship and charity are the ones which make a better society and happy individuals. Charles Cole Auburn
Bry expresses gratitude for Noble County’s vision To the editor: It has been a wonderful three years and a half plus years. It has been my pleasure to serve Noble County. My time with the visitors bureau will certainly be one of the highlights of my career always. I am so proud of the accomplishments we have achieved together, and to witness Noble County’s continued rise as a model example of what a collaborative spirit can achieve. More work lies ahead, and I am confident Sheryl, David and the CVB board will continue to move Noble County in aspiring and
positive directions for the development of tourism and grassroots community development initiatives. I am so very proud of Noble County, its communities and its people. For the next year I will turn my attention to the completion of my master’s degree at Ball State University — a goal I have put aside for far too long. Thank you for your friendship, support, dedication and commitment to an exciting vision for Noble County. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your community, and the inspiration you have given me time and time again. John Bry Auburn
Good art can be bad public policy To the editor: There is a point missing when people ask if a piece of art is “a hunk of junk” in a predictably boosterish defense of Fort Wayne’s Freiman Square’s nonobjective sculpture, “Helmholtz.” It is that good art can be bad public policy. Roger Starr, a member of the New York Times editorial board, devotes a chapter of his New York history to the thesis that the elite there got so caught up in the “all is relative” spirit of nonobjective art that they lost judgment, tempting financial ruin: “It is not overreaching to suggest that when the institutional leaders of a city make
modern painting and sculpture their most prized art form, and when they devote as much time, intelligence and, not least, money to its pursuit as the New York leaders of the postwar world did, they demonstrate a set of values that endangers those needed to keep an urban polity on a firm, reasonable and safe course.” Starr, formerly New York’s housing commissioner, contended that modern art is contra productive to the degree it influences government decision-making. “Sympathetic critics of nonobjective art ascribe meaning in portentous statements that the intra-canvas artifacts allegedly express,” he wrote. “Unfortunately, real life cannot survive on portentous statements; it requires the knowledge that iron is hard, and exactly how hard, and how much harder it is than flesh. It is the value of precisely such discrimination the canons of nonobjective art condemn.” As if to prove that point, “Helmholtz” (or at least its welds) buckled in a low-speed crash in the wee hours of the morning — no match, at least, for a more reality-based work of art, the 2013 GMC Sierra truck, crafted, incidentally, at the plant just inside the county line. It might have been a statement. It might have been an accident. It certainly was poetry. Craig Ladwig Fort Wayne
Land of three rivers: from Miami capital to Fort Wayne It’s no coincidence that Indiana’s second largest city occupies land that once served as a capital of the Miami Indian Nation. Native Americans chose Fort Wayne for its strategic location. The confluence of three rivers — St. Joseph, St. Marys and Maumee — would prove equally appealing to French fur traders, English military men and American pioneers. “This area was important for one main reason,” explains Kathleen O’Connell, a volunteer for Historic Fort Wayne. “Three rivers converged at a point where there was a short portage of six to nine miles to another series of rivers that would ultimately take you all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.” Historic Fort Wayne is a not-for-profit group that manages the Old Fort, a replica of the last active fort in the Three Rivers Area. It is located near the original Miami village of Kekionga. James Madison, in his book, The Indiana Way, describes Kekionga as “the meeting ground of the Miami tribal council” and “one of the most significant strategic locations in the trans-Appalachian West.” The French arrived at Kekionga in the late 17th Century and built a fortified trading post as a way to lay claim to the region. A series of forts followed. The first was built between 1712 and 1722 adjacent to the St. Marys River near where the portage trail began. It was known by different names: St. Phillipe, Post Miami or Fort Miami. It was primarily a trading post for the fur traders but also a base for French soldiers.
During the 1730s and 1740s, the British sought to gain profits in the fur trade by eliminating French competition. They gained the support of the local Indians, who burned Fort Miami in 1747. In 1750, the French rebuilt the fort at a new location on the east side of the St. Joseph River. In 1760, at the end of the French and Indian War, this fort was surrendered to the British. Native forces destroyed it in 1763 during Pontiac’s Rebellion, an ANDREA uprising against the British. In 1794, after the final NEAL battle of the Northwest Indian War, Gen. Anthony Wayne established the first American fort on the site. A new structure was built in 1798, and it proved pivotal during the War of 1812, turning back repeated assaults by heavily armed Indians. In 1816, Major John Whistler oversaw construction of the last active military fort. His drawings were the basis for the replica that opened in 1976 to celebrate the nation’s bicentennial. The fort is open to the public for field trips and special occasions such as the upcoming “Fort Miamies Aug. 24-25,” which commemorates the time of French occupation. By interacting with re-enactors dressed in historic garb, visitors may better appreciate Indiana history prior to statehood.

Briefs • Brazil demands answers on NSA BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil demanded answers Tuesday from the U.S. about National Security Agency spying in the country and warned that trust between the two nations would be damaged if U.S. explanations about the program were not satisfactory. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who was visiting Brasilia, sought to allay Brazil’s concerns about the program, saying the U.S. would work to provide answers to Brazil and other Latin American nations rankled by the NSA surveillance revealed by systems analyst Edward Snowden. “We’re now facing a new type of challenge in our bilateral relationship,” Brazil Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota said at a news conference. “The challenge is related to news about the interception of Brazilian electronic and telephone communications. And if those challenges are not resolved in a satisfactory way, we run the risk of casting a shadow of distrust over our work.”
Detroit billboards give wrong date to go to the polls DETROIT (AP) — Billboards promoting Detroit’s upcoming general election offered up some erroneous information about when to go to the polls. The Detroit Free Press reports that many of the 14 billboards gave a September date for the election. The vote will actually take place Nov. 5. City Clerk Janice Winfrey says the billboards were updated Saturday with information about the general election, and she calls the September date “a mistake” by the business that handles the billboards.
People • Oprah ‘sorry’ for Switzerland flap LOS ANGELES (AP) — Oprah Winfrey says she’s “sorry” that a media frenzy emerged after saying she experienced racism during a trip to Switzerland. “I think that incident in SwitzerWinfrey land was just an incident in Switzerland. I’m really sorry that it got blown up. I purposefully did not mention the name of the store. I’m sorry that I said it was Switzerland,” Winfrey said Monday night at the Los Angeles premiere of “Lee Daniels: The Butler.” “I was just referencing it as an example of being in a place where people don’t expect that you would be able to be there,” she continued. In a recent interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” Winfrey recalled a clerk at an upscale Zurich boutique refusing to show her a handbag. Winfrey said she was told she could not afford the $38,000 purse.

Government sues to block airline merger DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines and US Airways expected to spend this week cruising toward completion of their huge merger, a deal that was worth $14 billion on paper and would create the world’s biggest airline. Instead, they were stunned Tuesday when the federal government and six states sued to block the deal, saying it would hurt competition and cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars a year in higher fares and extra fees. Antitrust regulators had done little to interfere with three other big airline mergers in the past five years, so they were not
expected to stand in the way of American and US Airways. But this latest deal would leave four airlines controlling more than 80 percent of the U.S. air-travel market. The Justice Department turned the words of US Airways leaders against them. The 56-page lawsuit filed in federal district court in Washington, D.C., was peppered with quotes from internal emails, investor presentations and public comments in which the airlines’ top executives noted that previous mergers had helped lead to higher fares and higher fees to check a bag or change a ticket.
Executives of the two companies vowed to challenge the lawsuit. “We will fight them,” declared US Airways CEO Doug Parker, who would run the combined company. Paul Denis, a Washington antitrust lawyer hired by US Airways, said Tuesday was the Justice Department’s “best day.” “They got to hold their press conference. Now they’ve got to try their case in court,” he said. Tom Horton, CEO of American Airlines parent AMR Corp., noted that the companies had spent months trying to convince the Justice Department that the merger would
help customers and boost competition by creating a tough new rival to larger airlines United and Delta. “Since the DOJ has formed a contrary view, the matter will now be settled by the courts,” Horton said. AMR has been operating under bankruptcy protection since November 2011. It has cut labor costs, renegotiated aircraft and other leases and earned $220 million profit in the second quarter — its first profit in the April-toJune period in six years. It is forging ahead with an order for hundreds of new airplanes. The company had expected that the highlight of this week would be a
Thursday hearing in which a federal bankruptcy court judge would approve its reorganization plan, including the merger. That would be one of the final steps before AMR could exit Chapter 11 protection by the end of September. The hearing is likely to go ahead, and the judge could approve AMR’s turnaround plan on the condition that the Justice Department’s opposition is resolved. But AMR probably won’t come out of bankruptcy for at least a few more months while it fights the lawsuit, officials at the companies said.

Eurozone turning a corner as the recession set to end LONDON (AP) — The recession that’s gripped the eurozone since late 2011 is likely over. On Wednesday official figures are expected to show that economic growth among the 17 countries that use the euro inched up 0.2 percent in the April-June quarter compared with the previous quarter. The increase is slight. But it would end six straight quarters of a debilitating recession — the longest to afflict the single-currency bloc since its creation in 1999. And it would represent an encouraging sign for other economies, including the United States, the world’s largest, because the eurozone is the world’s biggest trading bloc. The eurozone’s recession held back growth in the United States, Japan and elsewhere as European consumers and businesses spent less on goods from those nations. “Concerns about the eurozone were causing a lot of companies to put investment on hold,” said David Owen, chief European economist at Jefferies International. The eurozone’s recession was a byproduct of the debt crisis that engulfed the currency union in 2010. The crisis forced debt-laden governments to impose painful cuts, spooked investors and raised doubts about the viability of the eurozone. Shrunken government spending and higher taxes devastated living standards in much of the eurozone, slowed economies and drove the bloc’s unemployment rate to a record 12.1 percent. The austerity programs embraced by the most troubled eurozone countries contrast with more expansionary efforts in the
United States. The Federal Reserve has also been more active than the European Central Bank in helping the economy. It drove borrowing rates to record lows once the financial crisis erupted in 2008. Ultra-low U.S. rates helped boost stock prices and home sales. U.S. unemployment has dropped to 7.4 percent from 10 percent in late 2009 despite a subpar economic recovery. In recent months, the picture has brightened in Europe as well as governments have shifted their focus away from debt reduction. Industrial production is rising. Consumer spending has stabilized. Exports have increased as key trade partners, including the United States and Japan, strengthen. Confidence has also recovered as stock and bond markets have rallied. That’s partly due to the European Central Bank’s pledge a year ago to do “whatever it takes” to save the currency union and its decision to cut its main interest rate to a record low of 0.5 percent. In Spain and Italy, for example, government borrowing rates have sunk in the past year, a sign of investor confidence. Analysts expect Wednesday’s figures to show improvement in both countries, though both are likely to have remained in recession. Investors have bid up stock prices in key eurozone countries this year. Stock indexes in two major economies — France and Spain — have reached 52-week highs. France’s CAC 40 stock index has jumped 12 percent this year and Spain’s IBEX 7 percent. Germany’s DAX index is up nearly 10 percent this year and Italy’s FTSE MIB nearly 7 percent.
CAIRO (AP) — Instead of rushing for the exits, Islamist supporters of Egypt’s ousted president are replacing tents with wooden huts in their sprawling Cairo encampment. Barbershops have sprung up and many tents now have satellite dishes. There’s little sign of alarm over the potential for violence if security forces move to clear this ground zero of resistance to the coup six weeks ago. On Tuesday, solar power panels were added to the encampment’s several generators in case authorities cut off power. The post-coup government has repeatedly warned that the sit-ins outside the Rabaah al-Adawiya mosque and a smaller one on the other side of the city cannot stay. They portray them as a threat to national security and launch pads for terrorism. The protesters say their vigils are peaceful and will end only when Mohammed Morsi is reinstated as president. As the faceoff has dragged on, participants in the larger of the two vigils have had time to weave a narrative about their cause immersed in religious fervor, revolutionary
rhetoric and martyrdom. Thrown into the mix is the evolution of the protest camp into a sort of autonomous entity with its own institutions and social order. Many protesters frame the standoff as pitting Islam’s true followers against enemies of the faith or between revolutionaries and forces of darkness determined to rob Egyptians of their freedom. “We are here standing up to a world of infidels that refuses to follow Islam,” shouted a speaker on the sit-in’s main stage one recent evening. “Victory may come late because society is not equipped to accommodate righteousness, goodness and justice represented by the nation of the faithful,” declares a sign outside a tent that housed a group of men discussing Shariah Islamic laws. “The people here are on the right side of history,” said Gehad el-Haddad, a spokesman for Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood. “We are not going to let go of the revolution. We are here for as long as it is needed. It is all
up to the will of the people.” But other facts about this crisis go unaddressed. Little is said about the millions of Egyptians who took to the streets on June 30 to call on Morsi to step down, and even less about the former president’s widely perceived failure to effectively tackle any of Egypt’s many problems, from a woeful economy and high unemployment to the shortages of staple goods and power cuts. Also, in portraying the encampment as representing all Egyptians, the protesters say little about the Muslim Brotherhood being the vigil’s chief organizer, and, judging by the proliferation of men in beards and women in Islamic dress, almost all the protesters are Islamists. The sit-ins began as a show of support for Morsi against mass protests demanding that he step down. After military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi ousted him on July 3 after just one year in office, the protesters’ chief demand became the reinstatement of Egypt’s first freely elected president, with 52 percent of the vote.

Freeloading daddy refuses to hit the road DEAR ABBY: My 22-year-old daughter and her two young children live with me. She doesn’t work, which is fine. I don’t mind supporting her because I’d rather have the kids see their mom. I spent most of my life as a single mom, working long hours and not seeing my kids. My work has finally paid off, and I’m at a point where, while not rich, I can support my daughter and grandbabies. The problem is the baby daddy. He has a history of drug abuse, theft and jail time. He works only part-time jobs, which he loses monthly. He gives my daughter nothing. I don’t want to support him, but he has moved in and won’t leave my house. I have told him to go, that he’s welcome to visit the kids, but he ignores me. It’s like talking to a wall. He won’t even acknowledge that I told him to leave. He acts like he’s king of the castle when it’s my home! I can’t take it anymore. I pay all the

a while, you may need a lawyer to get him out. According to Los Angeles attorney Lee Dresie: “You can get rid of the freeloader by giving him a 30-day ‘notice to leave’ in writing. It should say, ‘You have 30 days to leave my home. If you don’t, I will bring an action to evict you.’ If he still refuses to go, consult an attorney who specializes in eviction law.” This is Abby again: Be sure you have a witness present when the notice is given so Baby Daddy can’t deny receiving it. Your son could be that witness, and yes, he should be asked to lead the discussion on how to resolve this situation. It is also troubling that the daughter for whom you provide food and shelter is ignoring you. You’re treated this way because you don’t assert yourself. Please do it before Baby Daddy impregnates her again and you have four people to support.

ence these symptoms, get out of the heat immediately. Seek out air-conditioning. Drink water. If possible, take a cool shower or use a hose to soak yourself. If you don’t take steps to cool yourself, heat exhaustion can worsen into heat stroke. Heat stroke is serious and potentially life-threatening. Body temperature rises to 105 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. This can cause confusion, staggering, faintness, hallucinations, agitation or unconsciousness. It can affect internal organs and lead to coma or death. If you or your brother experience symptoms of heat stroke, seek emergency help immediately. While you wait for help, cool the person’s body from the outside. Remove tight or unnecessary clothing, spray the person with water, blow cool air on the person or wrap the person loosely

Almanac •
DEAR DOCTOR K: My brother and I are planning a long bike trip this summer. I’m worried about the heat. What can I do to prevent heat stroke? DEAR READER: Normally, the human body does a good job of regulating its temperature. As you’d expect, your body tends to heat up more easily when it is surrounded by hot air. It also heats up during exercise, since hard-working muscles generate heat. When you exercise in hot weather, your body is particularly challenged to get rid of excess heat so that it can maintain a normal body temperature. A part of our brain is constantly monitoring how hot we are. When our body temperature starts to rise above normal, the brain sends signals that cause the blood vessels near our skin to open wide, which in turn
bills. I told my daughter, and she ignores me as well. My oldest son has offered to talk to them for me. I don’t want to lose my grandbabies. They are my purpose in life. Please help. — FURIOUS IN PENNSYLDEAR VANIA ABBY DEAR FURIOUS: Part of your Jeanne Phillips problem may be the degree to which you enable your daughter. You won’t be around forever. She needs to learn to be independent so she can support herself and those children. Clearly, Baby Daddy isn’t man enough to be of any assistance. If he has lived with you for
in wet sheets. If you have ice packs, place them at the person’s neck, groin and armpits to accelerate cooling. During your bike trip, do the following to help you stay cool and avoid heat illness: • Drink lots of water throughout the day. • Stay indoors in an air-conditioned area whenever you feel too warm. • Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. • Avoid strenuous activity in the hottest part of the day (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.). If you must participate, take frequent breaks. • Limit the time you wear a helmet by taking it off between activities. • Drink less caffeine and alcohol, which can contribute to dehydration. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.

Study: Half who now buy own health plan to get aid WASHINGTON (AP) — About half the people who now buy their own health insurance— and potentially would face higher premiums next year under President Barack Obama’s health care law— would qualify for federal tax credits to offset rate shock, according to a new private study. Many other people, however, earn too much money to be eligible for help, and could end up paying more. The estimate, being released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, tries to answer one of the biggest remaining questions about the impact of Obama’s law on American families: Will
consumers wince — or even balk — when they see the premiums for the new plans? The study found that 48 percent of families currently buying their own coverage would be eligible for tax credits next year, averaging $5,548 per family, or 66 percent of the average cost of a benchmark “silver” policy offered through new state insurance markets. “About half of the people won’t be paying the sticker price,” said Gary Claxton, director of the health care marketplace project at Kaiser, an information clearinghouse on the health care system. “The people who get help will get quite a lot of help.”
“Many, but certainly not all, of the people who don’t get tax credits will pay more,” he said. “How much more will be a function of a lot of different things.” For example, some people who don’t qualify for tax credits may get jobs that offer coverage, added Claxton, a co-author of the study. And the bottom line on premiums may not be clear until sometime this fall, after the Health and Human Services Department releases rates for more than 30 states where the federal government is taking the lead setting up new insurance markets for individuals and small businesses. People can enroll starting
Oct. 1, and coverage becomes effective Jan. 1. Most people currently covered by employer plans are not affected. The law is likely to increase the sticker price for individually purchased coverage next year for several reasons: • Insurers will have to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions, whose needs are costlier to provide for. • Policies must provide certain standard benefits, including prescription drugs, mental health and substance abuse treatment and rehabilitative services. • Policyholders’ annual out-of-pocket costs will be capped.
So far, premiums reported by a number of individual states have been coming in lower than initially projected by the Congressional Budget Office. But they are higher — according to industry and consultants — than what people now typically pay for individual plans, which tend to be bare-bones coverage. However, the law also will pump in billions of dollars in federal tax credits to help the uninsured pay premiums — and ease cost increases for many who are currently buying the skimpy individual policies. The money will go directly to the insurance plan, and policyholders will pay the
difference — a discounted sticker price, in effect. The tax credits, available on a sliding scale based on family income, will be offered to people who don’t have access to affordable coverage through their jobs and buy policies through the new state markets. Those making between 100-400 percent of the federal poverty level — between $11,500 and $46,000 for an individual and $23,550 and $94,200 for a family of four — are eligible for some level of help. Families on the low end of the scale will pay 2 percent of their income for a benchmark plan, while those on the upper end will pay 9.5 percent.
