Ligonier man dies in Elkhart County crash

BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

GOSHEN — A Ligonier man was killed when the car he was driving struck a utility pole support cable outside Goshen late Saturday night, Elkhart County police said. Michael Strammer, 51, was driving a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire east on C.R 52, east of C.R. 37, when his car left the south side of the road and struck the cable. Strammer was ejected from the car, which came to rest against the utility pole. Strammer suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger, Melissa Gamblin, 52, of Ligonier, was taken to IU Health Goshen Hospital for precautionary medical treatment.

ALBION — Noble County’s income from housing state prisoners in its jail is significantly lower, but still on track to be among the highest such incomes in the state, the Noble County Council heard Monday. Noble County Sheriff Doug Harp reported that the number of

state prisoners being housed at the jail is down substantially from a year ago. The state reimburses the county for each person sentenced to the Indiana Department of Correction whom the county holds at the jail. If the number of prisoners housed thus far is consistent for the rest of the year, Noble County will have earned $450,000 from

housing prisoners this year, Harp said. That’s down from about $600,000 in 2012. Even so, $450,000 would put Noble County on track to earn the third most of any county in Indiana this year from housing DOC prisoners, Harp said. The DOC has been working to reduce the number of low-level felons it incarcerates through programs such as community corrections, and it has been sending fewer prisoners to county jails for housing for several years. The Noble County Jail was built larger than its projected need

Courthouse needs expensive repairs

Fort Wayne man killed in Florida crash

LAGRANGE — The LaGrange County Courthouse is starting to show its age, not surprising in a building that is more than 100 years old. But fixing the problems that are haunting the historical county building isn’t going to be cheap, according to a proposed plan discussed Monday at the LaGrange County commissioners’ meeting. Gary Mast, recently hired as caretaker of the the building, presented the commissioners with a proposal to repair a few of the issues plaguing the courthouse. Mast said he recently spoke to representatives of an Iowa firm that worked on the Noble County Courthouse, and he thought the LaGrange courthouse deserved the same standard of care. The LaGrange courthouse needs a lot of masonry work, including replacing more than 300 bricks on the building’s second floor that have been damaged by both time and weather, Mast said. The building also needs replacement and repair for much of the mortar that holds together its brick skin. The Courthouse’s fieldstone foundation is showing its age, and mortar between those stones is drying up and crumbling away, Mast said. In addition, one of the

A 2009 report to the state from Gary Leatherman, then the Noble County Sheriff, said the jail earned $726,390 from housing DOC prisoners that year.

Al-Qaida leader sparked closures

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Fla. — A Fort Wayne man died and his wife and child were severely injured after a single-car crash near Lake City, Florida, July 31. Shawn Cobb, 36, of Fort Wayne, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Cobb has family in the Auburn area, according to his grandmother Miriam Wilson of Auburn. The Florida Highway Patrol reported Cobb’s wife, Windy Cobb, 38, of Fort Wayne, was driving westbound on S.R. 8 (Interstate 10) at the 311 mile marker at around 9:15 p.m. when, for an unknown reason, she drove off the roadway and rotated clockwise onto the north shoulder of the road, reported our news partner, NewsChannel 15. Cobb’s SUV then landed in a ditch, which was full of standing water due to heavy rain in the area, and flipped over. Police said the sport utility vehicle’s roof then hit a pine tree and came to a rest against the tree, NewsChannel 15 said. Shawn Cobb was a passenger in the SUV. Windy Cobb was flown to Shands at the University of Florida Hospital in Gainesville in critical condition, NewsChannel 15 reported.

building’s four cupolas is leaking each time it rains, damaging drywall in the Circuit Court. The building’s gold-painted dome, more than 135 feet in the air, is suffering from peeling paint and needs a fresh coat. In total, Mast told the commissioners, those repairs would cost the county an estimated $120,000. The building also needs new windows and a new heating system, those two are estimated to cost $70,000. Commissioner Larry Miller, longest-serving of the three

commissioners, said the building is the centerpiece of LaGrange County, and that any building the age of the courthouse is going to need repairs. He said its issues need to be addressed. Commissioners decided to take the matter to the county’s attorney to discuss their options, and they advised Mast to ask vendors to update their cost estimates for repairs. Commissioners also reviewed a preliminary proposal to build a new dog park next to the

WASHINGTON (AP) — An intercepted secret message between al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri and his deputy in Yemen about plans for a major terror attack was the trigger that set off the current shutdown of many U.S. embassies, two officials told The Associated Press on Monday. A U.S. intelligence official and a Mideast diplomat said al-Zawahri’s message was picked up several weeks ago and appeared to initially target Yemeni interests. The threat was expanded to include American or other Western sites abroad, officials said, indicating the target could be a single embassy, a number of posts or some other site. Lawmakers have said it was a massive plot in the final stages, but they have offered no specifics. The intelligence official said the message was sent to Nasser al-Wahishi, the head of the terror network’s organization, based in Yemen, known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue publicly. American spies and intelligence analysts on Monday scoured

AUBURN — Barbara Mae Parker of St. Joe has been practicing midwifery for about 30 years, her attorney told Judge Kevin Wallace Monday afternoon. Parker herself told Wallace the nature of her practice involves being with women, encouraging them and offering them information during pregnancy. Parker, however, is not licensed to practice midwifery in Indiana. During a hearing Monday in DeKalb Superior Court I, the judge placed Parker on probation for one year and and ordered her to stop practicing midwifery until she has a valid license or certificate from the state of Indiana. Parker, of the 5500 block of C.R. 75-A, pleaded guilty to three counts of practicing

midwifery without a license, all Class B misdemeanors. The charges originally were filed as more serious Class D felonies. During Monday’s hearing, DeKalb County Prosecutor ClaraMary Winebrenner reduced the charges to Class B misdemeanors. Parker received a 180-day suspended sentence on each count. Two of the sentences will be served at the same time, but consecutive to the third sentence. She was fined $500 and must pay court costs. Parker was accused of practicing midwifery without a license in the prenatal care or delivery of four infants in August 2012. Two of the infants ultimately died. Parker admitted she was acting as a midwife for a woman on Aug.

Paddlin’ on the Pigeon Pigeon Creek in Steuben County, which becomes Pigeon River in LaGrange County, saw a lot of activity Saturday. It was so active from the S.R. 327 public access site in Steuben County to the LaGrange County line that at times the difficulty of navigating the river was more about avoiding other boaters than it was about collisions with downed trees or obstacles of nature. Temperatures in the upper 70s and mostly sunny skies also helped attract the crowd that mainly employed kayaks, though there were a few canoes out and about, too.

ALBION — The Noble County Commissioners Monday appointed all five members to a new version of a regional sewer district board serving the area around several county lakes. A new board for the Bear, High and Wolf Lake Regional Sewer District had to be selected following approval from the state to restructure the board. The commissioners appointed Gloria Gusching

and Duane Crisp to two-year terms on the board, and Mark Goodrich, Tim Tomcik and Judy Weisenburger to one-year terms. Gusching, Goodrich and Tomcik served on the prior version of the board. Once the original terms are served, each new board term will be four years. The commissioners appointed the board members by a 3-0 vote. Also Monday, the commissioners: • learned that a condemned cottage has been removed from land

at 1948 S. Seventh St., Albion. The lot there has been cleared, Noble County building inspector Richard Adair said. • approved an additional appropriation of $250,000 for road maintenance and $25,000 for engineer’s salary from state motor vehicle highway funds. The county recently was notified it would receive more funds from the state’s gasoline tax, Noble County Auditor Jackie Knafel said. It received $121,374 this month, up from about $41,000 in August 2012.

Star-studded weekend anticipated at Pokagon BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

LAKE JAMES — The Perseid meteor showers is one of the most stunning annual nighttime displays in northeastern Indiana. Pokagon State Park’s Interpretive Services, the Astronomical Society of Hillsdale County and other local astronomers set up telescopes and other equipment each year around this time to allow the public a chance to get closer to the cosmos, and maybe see one of the bright “falling stars” associated with the meteor showers, which occur through early and mid-August. The free exposition is Saturday starting at 8 p.m. The 26th annual All-Night Star Spectacular will occur near the peak of Perseid activity. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has determined Aug. 12 and 13 as the peak nights for viewing the Persied fireballs this year, said Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office. Cooke recommends viewing between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. Before midnight, the meteor rate will start out low, then increase as the night wears on, peaking before sunrise when the constellation Perseus is high in the sky, says the NASA web site. Since 2008, the Perseids have produced more fireballs — very bright meteors — than any other annual meteor shower. And, for every fireball that streaks out of Perseus, there will be dozens more ordinary meteors. The Perseid meteor shower comes from Comet Swift-Tuttle. When the Earth passes through the comet’s dust cloud as it approaches the sun, meteoroids strike the Earth’s atmosphere at an estimated 132,000 mph. It’s the size of Swift-Tuttle that produces such brilliant streaks, Cooke said. “Comet Swift-Tuttle has a huge nucleus —

about 26 km in diameter,” Cooke said. “Most other comets are much smaller, with nuclei only a few kilometers across. As a result, Comet Swift-Tuttle produces a large number of meteoroids, many of which are large enough to produce fireballs.” Meteors, fireballs, comets and the everyday cosmos will be explained by the astronomers at the park on Saturday night. They provide large, high-powered telescopes set up on the Civilian Conservation Corps Shelter lawn that people can peer through to see the stars and planets up close. The event — which relies on relatively clear skies and non-inclement weather — runs through 2 a.m. From 8 to 9:30 p.m., visitors can look at astronomy equipment and learn about telescopes. Star and planet viewing will be from 9:30 p.m. to midnight. Through the Astronomical Society’s large telescopes, participants can view stars, star clusters, nebulae and other cosmic features. Visitors are also encouraged to bring binoculars. There will be a short presentation at 10:15 p.m. on constellations and night sky lore. From midnight to 2 a.m., the telescopes will be put away and participants can partake in naked-eye viewing of the Perseid meteor showers. Pokagon’s interpretive naturalist Fred Wooley said there could be 30 to 50 “shooting stars” an hour during that time. Wooley suggests wearing long pants and mosquito repellent and people should bring lawn chairs or blankets. In case of clouds on Saturday, people may call the Nature Center before 4 p.m. at 833-2012 or the Potawatomi Inn after 4 p.m. at 833-1077 to ask about the program status. The standard park entrance fee of $5 per in-state vehicle or $7 per out-of-state vehicle will apply.

Great crowd turns out for Habitat auction BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

LAGRANGE — Baked goods were a big seller at this year’s LaGrange County Habitat for Humanity auction held Friday. The baked goods didn’t require a bidder’s ticket. Mont Arnold, executive director of Habitat, had only two words to describe the homemade treats for sale at the event. “Just colossal,” Arnold said. The one-day Habitat auction at the Shipshewana Auction Barn raised the bulk of the money Habitat will use over the next year to help families in need find and build affordable housing in LaGrange County. While the quilts and donated items that crossed the auction block raised the lion’s share of that money, more than 400 items baked by LaGrange County residents were donated to Habitat and sold at the event, and will help

the organization achieve its goals. According to Habitat representatives, the event drew one of its largest crowds in recent history. More than 675 people lined up and bought haystack dinners. One bidder spent $850 to purchase a quilt. A used car sold for $2,250, and a donated Queen buggy was purchased for $6,000. The final numbers raised by the auction are still being calculated. “We had a great crowd, a larger crowd than usual,” Arnold said. “This is an example of countless people in our community working together to help local people who face housing need.” County auctioneers did the calling and the Shipshewana Auction Barn again donated the use of its facility. Setup and cleanup were handled by two local church groups, New Life Fellowship and LaGrange Church of God. Two partner families who will

be future LCHFH homeowners were also on hand to pitch in. Josh and Noreen Miller worked cleanup in the cook wagon, and Bill Dingley sold fried pies and then helped to tear down the quilt racks. Haystack suppers were dished up by the Brighton Chapel Youth Group, and the ice cream machine was “manned” by Girl Scout Troop 00342, led by Kellie Wetzel, a former LCHFH partner. “This is another of our community service projects,” Wetzel explained. “We have also volunteered for the LaGrange Animal Shelter.” The troop is a multi-age group, including Daisies, Brownies, Juniors and Cadets. The troop covered all facets of the ice cream sales, such as taking orders, “coning” the ice cream, and making change for the sales. “Oh, and we did eat some, too,” Wetzel said.

LCCF grant helps many earn a GED LAGRANGE — A 2012 grant by the LaGrange County Community Foundation Board of Directors has resulted in dramatic increases in basic adult education enrollments and GED completion in LaGrange County during the last year, the LCCF said Monday afternoon. The $19,761 grant was awarded to support Learning Generation Initiative and Impact Institute cooperative marketing effort, allowing it to hire outreach coordinators Rod Knox and Jackie Christman. Knox and

Christman were given the task of increasing enrollments for free GED classes within the county. The duo’s “factoryby-factory” campaign has exceeded all expectations, the LCCF said. Enrollments in LaGrange County Adult Basic Education Classes have risen from 24 students in 2011–2012 to 163 students in 2012–2013, an increase of 579 percent. This enrollment effort is backed by classroom instruction. Impact Institute instructors Mary Wilson,

Susan Burchett, Jayne Perkins and Jim Marks meet regularly with adult learners at Vistula Head Start in LaGrange, Topeka Branch Library, Stroh Church of Christ and Meadowview Elementary in Shipshewana. This cross-county coverage offers students exceptional convenience of location. Increased enrollments resulted in more GED completions. In 2011–2012, 43 LaGrange County students met all their testing requirements to obtain their GED.

In 2012–2013 the number jumped to 69 adults, a 60 percent increase. The LCCF said GED completions are believed to offer successful students more employment options and a higher lifetime income. For more information on free GED classes and other adult training opportunities call the Institute at 1-888-3490250 ext. 251.

Briefs • Former military chief gets life sentence in Turkey plot ISTANBUL (AP) — In a landmark trial, scores of people — including Turkey’s former military chief, politicians and journalists — were convicted on Monday of plotting to overthrow Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government soon after it came to power in 2002. Retired Gen. Ilker Basbug was the most prominent defendant among some 250 people facing verdicts after a five-year trial that has become a central drama in tensions between the country’s secular elite and Erdogan’s Islamic-oriented Justice and Development Party. The trial has sparked protests, and on Monday police blocked hundreds of demonstrators from reaching the High Criminal Court in Silivri, 25 miles west of Istanbul, in a show of solidarity with the defendants.

People • Capaldi named new ‘Doctor Who’ star LONDON — Peter Capaldi is going from spin doctor to “Doctor Who.” The BBC announced Sunday that the Scottish actor, best known as venom-spitting political fixer Malcolm Capaldi Tucker in the sitcom “The Thick of It” and its film spin-off, “In the Loop,” is the new star of “Doctor Who,” the famed science fiction series soon to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The identity of the new Doctor had been the subject of frantic speculation, and the revelation was made with fanfare befitting one of Britain’s best-known shows — during a live television broadcast. Capaldi is the 12th actor to play the Doctor, a galaxy-hopping Time Lord who travels in the Tardis, a time machine shaped like an old-fashioned British police telephone booth. At age 55, he’s also the oldest since the first Doctor, William Hartnell. Capaldi, a fan of the show since childhood, said that “being asked to play the Doctor is an amazing privilege.” Capaldi has a long list of movie, television and stage credits, from the 1983 film “Local Hero,” to zombie thriller “World War Z,” to the BBC’s recent newsroom drama “The Hour.”

THE NEWS SUN & THE HERALD REPUBLICAN

Immigration bill critics cite health law delay WASHINGTON (AP) — For many House conservatives, President Barack Obama’s decision to delay a central provision of his health care law has emerged as a major arguing point — not against that law but in opposition to immigration legislation In the weeks since the announcement that employers won’t have to provide health insurance for another year, complaints have increased among House Republicans that they can’t trust the Obama administration to implement any law they pass. That includes strict requirements for immigrants, tighter border security and genuine workplace hiring enforcement.

That refrain is heard often from GOP lawmakers, most of whom now are home for a five-week summer recess that’s expected to feature demonstrations around the country by advocates as well as opponents of a broad immigration overhaul. It’s one more daunting obstacle to House action after Senate passage in June of a sweeping bill to increase border security, remake rules for legal immigration and offer eventual citizenship to the estimated 11 million immigrants already in the U.S. illegally. “We all take an oath to uphold the laws of this country and our Constitution, and that doesn’t mean you pick the laws you like

and you ignore the laws you don’t,” said Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., who heads the conservative Republican Study Committee in the House. “And yet the president has shown a willingness to be selective in how he enforces laws.” House Republicans also are skeptical of the comprehensive approach taken by the Senate, preferring to confront the immigration issue in bits and pieces. Many oppose legalization or citizenship for people who crossed the border illegally or overstayed their visas to be in this country. For some, whether an immigration law would be properly implemented has emerged as a key point,

particularly because of the government’s unimpressive record on enforcing past laws on immigration. Past Congresses called for completing hundreds of miles of border fencing and a biometric entry-exit system at U.S. ports. Neither happened. But the most oft-cited example is the 1986 immigration law signed by President Ronald Reagan, which gave citizenship to some 3 million people here illegally, installed the first requirements for employers to check workers’ legal status and boosted border security. The legalization happened, but the workplace and border provisions proved ineffectual, and the law came nowhere close to

its goal of stopping illegal immigration. “They don’t trust government. You go back to the ‘86 legalization where certain things were promised that weren’t delivered,” said Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., who supports a comprehensive immigration overhaul bill and is part of a bipartisan House group that’s been working behind the scenes for months to write one. “It has been clearly amplified tenfold by the Obama administration. The most recent example of that was on Obamacare,” Diaz-Balart said. “So our challenge is can we then demonstrate that we can enforce that enforcement.”

Curiosity marks one year on Mars LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mount Sharp has beckoned Curiosity since the NASA rover made its grand entrance on Mars exactly a year ago, dangling from nylon cables to a safe landing. If microbes ever existed on Mars, the mountain represents the best hope for preserving the chemical ingredients that are fundamental to all living things. After a poky but productive start, Curiosity recently pointed its wheels south, rolling toward the base of Mount Sharp in a journey that will last many months. Expect Curiosity to channel its inner tourist as it drives across the rock-strewn landscape, dodging bumps and taking in the scenery. “We do a lot of off-roading on a lot of little dirt roads,” said mission manager Jennifer Trosper. Curiosity will unpack its toolkit once it arrives at its destination to hunt for the organic building blocks of life. Scientists have been eager for a peek of Mount Sharp since Curiosity, the size of a small SUV, touched down in an ancient crater near the Martian equator on the night of Aug. 5, 2012.

U.S. official visits senior Egyptian Islamist in jail CAIRO (AP) — A top U.S. diplomat held talks with a jailed senior leader of the Muslim Brotherhood on Monday as part of mediation efforts to end the standoff between Egypt’s militarybacked government and protesters supporting ousted President Mohammed Morsi, Egyptian officials said. The talks between U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and Khairat el-Shater, the powerful deputy head of the Brotherhood, took place in the prison were the Islamist figure is being held, the officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media. Burns was accompanied by the foreign ministers of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as well as an EU envoy. U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Patricia Kabra declined comment, but a spokesman for interim Egyptian President Adly Mansour confirmed the meeting. He said the four were also due to meet later Monday with another detained Brotherhood leader, Saad el-Katatni. El-Shater was among a host of prominent Islamists arrested by authorities after the army ousted Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood

member, on July 3. He has been charged with complicity in the killing of anti-Morsi protesters during the four days of protests that led up to the military coup. The government officials did not say why Burns and the other diplomats visited el-Shater, who was widely believed along with the Brotherhood’s spiritual leader Mohammed Badie to be the source of real power during Morsi’s one year in power. But Burns and the three other diplomats are in Egypt as part of international efforts to end a standoff between Morsi’s supporters and the military-backed interim government. Also Monday, senior U.S. senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham arrived in Cairo at President Barack Obama’s request to press for a quick return to civilian rule. More than a month after Morsi’s ouster, thousands of the Islamist leader’s supporters remain camped out in two key squares in Cairo demanding his reinstatement. Egypt’s military-backed interim leadership has issued a string of warnings for them to disperse or security forces will move in, setting the stage for a potential violent showdown.

University of Iowa named top party school IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — College students consider the University of Iowa the nation’s best party school, even though Iowa City has tried to make its famous bar scene less hospitable to underage drinkers. The Princeton Review bestowed Iowa with the top ranking Monday on a list determined by 126,000 students in a nationwide survey. Rounding out the Top 5 are: University of California, Santa Barbara; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; West Virginia University and Syracuse University. The organization also

Officials in Iowa City aren’t celebrating the ranking, which comes after they’ve made recent strides in the battle against binge drinking on campus and downtown. University of Iowa spokesman Tom Moore said The Princeton Review “gets some things right,” by describing Iowa as an affordable Big Ten university with students who are both studious and social.

CLOSURES: Some posts reopened on Monday FROM PAGE A1

email, phone calls and radio communications between al-Qaida operatives in Yemen and the organization’s senior leaders to determine the timing and targets of the planned attack. The call from al-Zawahri, who took over for Osama bin Laden after U.S. Navy SEALs killed the al-Qaida leader in May 2011, led the Obama administration to close diplomatic posts from Mauritania on Africa’s west coast through the Middle East to Bangladesh, east of India, and as far south as Madagascar. The U.S. did decide to reopen some posts on Monday, including well-defended embassies in Kabul, Afghanistan, and Baghdad. Authorities in Yemen, meanwhile, released the names of 25 wanted al-Qaida suspects and said those people had been planning terrorist attacks targeting “foreign offices and organizations and Yemeni installations” in the capital Sanaa and other cities across the country. The Yemeni government also went on high alert Monday, stepping up security at government facilities and checkpoints.

Officials in the U.S. wouldn’t say who intercepted the initial suspect communications — the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency or one of the other intelligence agencies — that kicked off the sweeping pre-emptive closure of U.S. facilities. But an intelligence official said the controversial NSA programs that gather data on American phone calls or track Internet communications with suspected terrorists played no part in detecting the initial tip. That official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the spying publicly. A U.S. official familiar with the threat information said the decision to close the embassies was based on a broad swath of information, not just the intercept. The official said the U.S. has made clear in the past that AQAP makes its own operational decisions — that there are back-and-forth communications between al-Qaida leadership and AQAP, but that they operate independently. The official was not authorized to disclose the information to reporters and thus spoke on

condition of anonymity. Once the plot was detected, NSA analysts could use the programs that leaker Edward Snowden revealed to determine whom the plotters may have contacted around the world. Snowden revealed one program that collected telephone data such as the numbers called and the duration of calls on U.S. telephone networks. Another program searched global Internet usage. Therefore, if a new name was detected in the initial chatter, the name or phone number of that person could be run through the NSA databases to see whom he called or what websites or emails he visited. The surveillance is part of the continuing effort to track the spread of al-Qaida from its birthplace in Afghanistan and Pakistan to countries where governments and security forces are weaker and less welcoming to the U.S. or harder for American counterterrorist forces to penetrate — such as Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Mali and Libya — as well as Yemen, already home to al-Qaida’s most dangerous affiliate, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which is headed by al-Wahishi.

county’s animal shelter that would allow workers to take animals off leash for exercise without restraint. The park would be open to any dog owner who wished to use it. Representatives of Ark, an organization that operates the shelter, presented two proposals for placement of the small, fence-enclosed park. Because the area

surrounding the shelter is part of the old county landfill, commissioners asked highway superintendent Jeff Brill to make sure the park wouldn’t create any issues with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, which regulates retired landfills. Ark also introduced its new animal sanctuary executive director, Yancey Painter, replacing Brian Cochran, who resigned last

week. Information technology director Bob Murphy said he will be unveiling the new LaGrange County website later this week. Earlier this year, commissioners asked Murphy to update and redesign the website for the first time in nearly nine years. Murphy called the new website more modern and up to date, calling it “really eye-catching.”

WEST LINN, Ore. — Donn William Laird, 90, of West Lynn died June 19, 2013, in Oregon City, Ore. Donn William Laird was born Aug. 12, 1922, to Vern and Oma Laird, Mr. Laird in Auburn, Indiana. He spent his busy childhood developing lifelong interests in electronics, literature, Big Band music and, especially, cars. Donn served proudly in

WWII as a field communications officer in the 75th Division and also served, for a brief time, in the French Army. He attended Tri-State University, where he received degrees in engineering. In 1946, Donn married Beverly Stevens and they headed to California. Two daughters and many amazing cars followed. Donn became the Northwest regional sales manager for Bendix and was well known throughout the aircraft electrical power industry. Donn and Beverly returned to Angola, Indiana, in 1972 to operate Lakeland

Electronic Supply (formerly Lakeland Radio Supply). They remained in Angola until retirement in 2002, whereupon they moved back to the West Coast to Oregon. Donn Laird was a member of the Mason’s and the Angola Lion’s Club. Donn leaves behind many good friends and fond memories. He always had time for a great joke, a generous helping hand and good, sound advice. Donn is survived by his two daughters, Susan and Martha, and his grandson, Taylor. He was buried in Willamette National Cemetery in Portland, Ore.

Testers: Something missing from lab-grown hamburger LONDON (AP) — The food of the future could do with a pinch of seasoning — and maybe some cheese. Two volunteers who took the first public bites of hamburger grown in a laboratory gave it good marks for texture but agreed there was something missing. “I miss the salt and pepper,” said Austrian nutritionist Hanni Ruetzler. U.S. journalist Josh Schonwald confessed to a difficulty in judging a burger “without ketchup or onions or jalapenos or bacon.” Both tasters shunned the bun, lettuce and sliced tomatoes offered to them to concentrate on the flavor of the meat itself. Mark Post, the Dutch scientist who led the team that grew the meat from cattle stem cells, regretted having served the patty without his favorite topping: aged gouda cheese. “That would have enhanced the whole experience tremendously,” he told The Associated Press. He said he was pleased with the reviews: “It’s not perfect, but it’s a good start.” Post, whose team at Maastricht University in the Netherlands developed the burger over five years, hopes that making meat in labs could eventually help feed the world and fight climate change — although that goal is probably a

decade or two away, at best. “The first (lab-made) meat products are going to be very exclusive,” said Isha Datar, director of New Harvest, an international nonprofit that promotes meat alternatives. “These burgers won’t be in Happy Meals before someone rich and famous is eating them.” Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, announced that he funded the 250,000-euro ($330,000) project, saying he was motivated by a concern for animal welfare. “We’re trying to create the first cultured beef hamburger,” he said in a videotaped message. “From there, I’m optimistic we can really scale up by leaps and bounds.” Scientists agreed that improving the flavor probably won’t be hard. “Taste is the least (important) problem since this could be controlled by letting some of the stem cells develop into fat cells,” said Stig Omholt, director of biotechnology at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. Adding fat to the burgers this way would probably be healthier than getting it from naturally chunky cows, said Omholt, who was not involved in the project. He called Monday’s tasting a publicity stunt — but not in a bad way. He said it was a smart way to draw public attention, and possibly

investor funds, to efforts to develop lab-grown meat. Post’s team made the meat from shoulder muscle cells of two organically raised cows. The cells were put into a nutrient solution to help them develop into muscle tissue, and they grew into small strands of meat. It took nearly 20,000 strands to make a single 5-ounce patty, which for Monday’s event was seasoned with salt, egg powder and breadcrumbs. Red beet juice and saffron were added to help the burger look more meat-like; Post said the lab-made patty had a yellowish tinge. “I’m a vegetarian, but I would be first in line to try this,” said Jonathan Garlick, a stem cell researcher at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. He has used similar techniques to make human skin but wasn’t involved in the burger research. Experts say new ways of producing meat are needed to satisfy growing carnivorous appetites without exhausting resources. By 2050, the Food and Agriculture Organization predicts global meat consumption will double as more people in developing countries can afford it. Raising animals destined for the dinner table takes up about 70 percent of all agricultural land.

MIDWIFE: There are no allegations of negligence FROM PAGE A1

2, 2012. The woman ended up being transported to a hospital. Parker also admitted she was involved in the prenatal care of a baby born Aug. 3, 2012, but said she was not part of that delivery. Parker said the woman developed high blood pressure during her pregnancy, and Parker advised her to transfer her care. According to a police affidavit, the baby was born with no respiratory or cardiac activity and eventually died at an area hospital. “There was never a child born at home without a heartbeat,” Parker told Wallace Monday. Parker admitted that on Aug. 7, 2012, she was acting as a midwife for a woman who was carrying twins. Parker said she was involved in the delivery of the first twin. She said the second twin did not engage in the birth canal, and the mother

was taken to the hospital. According to the affidavit, the second baby was taken by cesarean section and failed to survive. Parker’s attorney, Joe Carlin, said there is no allegation that Parker was negligent. “There’s no evidence whatsoever that Ms. Parker’s practice or anything she did, or didn’t do, contributed in any way to those deaths,” Carlin added. Carlin said the mothers of the infants are Amish and have maintained a relationship with Parker. In fact, Carlin added, Parker was invited to and attended the funeral of one of the deceased infants. According to the affidavit, Parker told police she did not have a license to practice midwifery, because Indiana did not provide a license for a direct-entry midwife. Parker said she had a license in Colorado before moving to Indiana, the

affidavit said. Carlin said a law now has been passed that will allow Parker to obtain a certificate for direct-entry practice. Parker said she is in the process of obtaining such a license, which should be available after January 2014. “So how is this term of probation going to change your practice from what you were doing on those three occasions?” Wallace asked Parker. “I won’t be able to do it any more,” Parker said. “I’m going to stop what I consider to be midwifery.” Asked whether she has any previous criminal arrests or convictions, Parker told Wallace she faced similar charges in Colorado in the 1980s. Parker said she did not know how that case was resolved, but that it ended up going to the Colorado Supreme Court. Parker said she does not know whether the case was dismissed.

the courthouse damaged parts of the sidewalk on the courthouse’s inner circle, Leatherman said in his current role as Noble County commissioners president. The contractor has agreed to pay $5,000 for the repairs, but it makes sense to do additional work that is needed due to long-term wear and tear on the sidewalk, Leatherman said. The work would include replacing the entire inner circle of the walk and some pads near the north and south entrances, plus replacing a brick walkway to

the gazebo with a concrete path, Commissioner Dave Dolezal said. The work will require an additional appropriation of $23,721, Leatherman said. The council voted 6-0 to allow the funding to be advertised. • voted 5-1 to approve an additional $10,000 from County Economic Development Income Tax funds for the Noble County Redevelopment Commission. Council President Wayne Clouse was the dissenter. • unanimously approved additional appropriations of $200,000 from County

Adjusted Gross Income Tax for the county’s group insurance program and $16,500 for a previously approved truck for the Noble County Surveyor’s Office. • unanimously approved a $10,000 additional appropriation for covering liability for the doctor at the county jail. The money will be used for cases in which a claim is filed as a civil rights action rather than under medical malpractice laws, county attorney Dennis Graft said. At least one area attorney now is using that tactic against jail doctors.

Ryan: Jets fans can boo if they want to CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) — Rex Ryan has moved on from last season. He hopes New York Jets fans can, too. The coach refused to tell frustrated Jets fans Monday to take their boos elsewhere, but also reminded them that this is a new season, with new hopes and expectations. “I’m not going to say I’m disappointed in our fans, but I think we need to move forward,” Ryan said. “The things from the past are in the past. Let’s just focus on what we have in front of us. We’re all going to make mistakes. We’re all going to turn the ball over. “We don’t like to, but those are things that are going to happen.” The subject came up because Mark Sanchez, competing with rookie Geno Smith for the starting job, was booed loudly by some of the 6,000 fans at SUNY Cortland on Saturday night when he threw an interception during the team’s scrimmage. Sanchez had an NFL-leading 52 turnovers in the last two seasons, something that has left many fans hoping for Smith to win the job. Antonio Cromartie, who made the interception, said Saturday he thought the reaction by fans was “bull” and added, “You don’t come out here and boo anybody.” Ryan understands the fans’ disappointment, even if he didn’t particularly like the booing. “Fans have the right to do anything they want,” Ryan said. “I think with us, the entire team, this is our teammate no matter who it is in the green and white. We want our fans behind us at all times. Obviously, guys make mistakes. I think that’s probably the reaction we had: We don’t want our guys getting booed, especially from our fans because we all wear green and white, including our fans. “This game’s tough enough. We need to support each other. That’s probably where Cro is coming from.” Although the scrimmage was free admission, Ryan insisted that fans “earned” the right to boo whenever they want to because “they’re the paying customer.” If Sanchez wins the starting job, the fans might have extremely thin patience in the regular-season opener at home against Tampa Bay in Week 1. That means there could be boos for Sanchez if he struggles early and chants for Smith to take over. Ryan insisted that public sentiment won’t — and has never — played a role in the team’s decisions. “A fan’s perspective, you don’t factor that in,” Ryan said. “You do what you think is — dare I say it? — in the best interest of your football team.”

MLB lowers boom on A-Rod

Yanks’ star suspended through next season; a dozen others receive 50-game suspensions

NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 and All-Stars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece Monday when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players in a drug case — the most sweeping punishment since the Black Sox scandal nearly a century ago. Ryan Braun’s 65-game suspension last month and previous penalties bring to 18 the total number of players sanctioned for their relationship to Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic in Florida accused of distributing banned performing-enhancing drugs. The harshest penalty was reserved for Rodriguez, the New York Yankees slugger, a three-time Most Valuable Player and baseball’s highest-paid star. He said he will appeal his suspension, which covers 211 games, by Thursday’s deadline. And since arbitrator Fredric Horowitz isn’t expected to rule until November or December at the earliest, Rodriguez was free to make his season debut Monday night and play the rest of the year. The other 12 players agreed to their 50-game penalties and began serving them immediately, giving them a chance to return for the playoffs. MLB said A-Rod’s drug penalty was for “his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone over the course of

The pressure is on for a blockbuster sequel, even if Meyer himself is preoccupied with the opening scenes. “Our job is to compete for championships in November. That’s all I want them to think about,” Meyer said. “A team is a complex animal that you got to be really careful how you approach things.

CLEVELAND (AP) — There was nothing Jhonny Peralta could do but apologize. The damage was done. Peralta is gone for the playoff chase, leaving a sizable hole for the Detroit Tigers, who have no choice but to move forward without their All-Star shortstop. Peralta was suspended for 50 Peralta games by Major League Baseball on Monday along with 12 other players for their association with Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic in Florida accused of distributing banned performing-enhancing drugs. Peralta’s punishment — the Tigers have not yet decided if they’ll make him eligible if they qualify for the postseason — is a tough blow for Detroit, which enters a four-game series against Cleveland leading the secondplace Indians by just three games. “He broke the rules and he has to pay for it and we support that totally,” Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said before Monday night’s opener. “He’s going to pay a price for it and our organization is going to move on from there.” The quiet and steady Peralta, who made his second All-Star team this season, is batting .305 with 11 homers and 54 RBIs. His name has been tied to the investigation for months, and to protect themselves in case he got suspended, the Tigers acquired infielder Jose Iglesias from Boston before the trading deadline. Peralta released a statement through the Tigers. “In spring of 2012, I made a terrible mistake that I deeply regret,” he said. “I apologize to everyone that I have hurt as a result of my mistake, including my teammates, the Tigers’ organization, the great fans in Detroit, Major League Baseball, and my family.”

Colts’ offense old school Tigers win on INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Pep Hamilton is giving the Colts’ offense a bold, new look. They have a fullback. They have Reggie Wayne working out of the slot. They have bigger offensive linemen protecting Andrew Luck. No, it’s not the trendy thing in a league now enamored with running quarterbacks and the read-option. But Hamilton, the offensive coordinator, is of like mind with the Colts’ brass. He believes old-school football is still the most fashionable way to win a championship. “I think we have to have a true sense of balance in our offense. We’ve got to be able to run the football as well as pass the football,” Hamilton said as the Colts worked out at Anderson University. “We’re going to do whatever we need to do to score, ultimately. But being able to run the power schemes, being able to run the football, is a prize piece in our offense.” Colts fans haven’t heard those words in years. Peyton Manning relied primarily on double tight-end, singleback formations and the no-huddle offense. When he went down in 2011, Indianapolis tried to change the script. That didn’t work. Following a 2-14 debacle without Manning, the Colts started their massive rebuilding project by cutting Manning and firing coach Jim Caldwell. Chuck Pagano, Caldwell’s replacement, showed up promising a stronger running game. But in 2012, it turned out to be more of the same. As Luck produced big numbers in Bruce Arians’ long passing game and the

four-run ninth BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks Andrew Luck (12) and Matt Hasselbeck throw

Colts shocked everyone by winning 11 games and reaching the playoffs, they ran for a paltry 3.8 yards per carry. Only five NFL teams had lower averages. And it’s been a persistent problem. Since winning the Super Bowl in 2006, the Colts are the only NFL team to average less than 4.0 yards five times. They haven’t had a 1,000-yard rusher since Joseph Addai (1,072) in 2007, leaving Detroit (eight), Dallas and New Orleans (six each) as the only teams with longer active streaks. So when Arians, last

year’s NFL coach of the year, took the Arizona coaching job, the Colts brought in Hamilton who has a history with Luck and a knack for making power football work. Pagano found it to be a perfect fit. “I’ve said from Day 1 that in order to win in the National Football League, you have to run the football and you have to stop the run,” Pagano said. “(Last year) we still drifted a guy back there. He just wasn’t listed on the depth chart as a fullback. Dwayne (Allen) was

listed as a tight end but somebody was still moving into the backfield at times. Now we just got a guy that looks like a fullback, smells like a fullback, he’s listed as a fullback. We’re going to do everything we can to improve our ability to run the football. It’s going to take pressure off our quarterback. It’s going to take time off the clock.” Luck knows just how proficient this balanced offense can be after working with it at Stanford, and Hamilton knows history has proved it will work in the NFL.

Alex Avila’s three-run homer in the ninth inning off closer Chris Perez rallied the Detroit Tigers to their ninth straight win, 4-2 on Monday night over the Cleveland Indians. The Tigers were three outs away from having their lead in the AL Central cut to two games before their comeback against Perez (4-2), who had converted 11 consecutive save opportunities. After Victor Martinez’s RBI single made it 2-1, Perez walked Andy Dirks before Avila drove a 1-0 pitch over the wall in left-center for his ninth homer, stunning a Cleveland crowd ready to celebrate the team’s biggest win this season. Manager Terry Francona had no choice but to relieve the controversial Perez, who sullenly walked to the dugout after not retiring a batter and heard only boos from Indians fans. Al Alburquerque (2-2) got one in the eighth and Joaquin Benoit worked the ninth for his 13th save. Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez struck out 11 in 7 2-3 innings, and was in line to take a tough loss before the Tigers stormed back for their 13th win in 14 games. Dodgers 3, Cardinals 2 Zack Greinke pitched into the seventh inning and raised his batting average to .405 with an RBI single, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers win their 15th straight on the road. Nick Punto was productive subbing for injured shortstop Hanley Ramirez and the Dodgers got an RBI apiece from Andre

Ethier and A.J. Ellis while matching the Cincinnati Reds’ 15-game run in 1957. They’re two wins shy of the NL record set by the 1916 New York Giants. Greinke (9-3) allowed two runs in 6 1-3 innings for his 100th career victory, allowing two hits in the third, fourth and fifth but no runs. Paco Rodriguez earned his second career save with a perfect ninth. Adam Wainwright (13-7) gave up three runs in seven innings and failed in his third straight attempt at winning his 14th. He’s tied for the league lead in wins with teammate Lance Lynn. Braves 3, Nationals 2 Justin Upton led off the eighth inning with a tiebreaking homer, and the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves extended their winning streak to a seasonhigh 11 games. Freddie Freeman drove in Atlanta’s first two runs with a pair of singles in the third and fifth. Reliever David Carpenter (3-0) earned the win by retiring all five batters he faced. Upton’s 20th homer came on a 3-2 pitch from Tyler Clippard (6-2), who replaced Stephen Strasburg to begin the eighth. The Nationals again failed to provide much run support for Strasburg, who struck out nine in seven innings, allowing two runs and five hits. The last five times he’s allowed two earned runs or fewer, Washington lost. The Braves pushed their division lead to 13½ games over the second-place Nationals, who led the majors with 98 wins in 2012 but now are four games under .500.

Heisman winner’s investigation weighs on Aggies COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Johnny Football is practicing with Texas A&M. Whether he starts the season opener is another question. Coach Kevin Sumlin on Monday said he would not speculate when asked if Johnny Manziel will be his starter on Aug. 31 against Rice following an ESPN report that the NCAA is investigating whether the Heisman Trophy winner was paid for signing hundreds of autographs

last January. “There’s a lot of people involved in that decision,” Sumlin said without being specific. If Manziel was paid for his autograph on memorabilia, it could potentially violate NCAA amateurism rules and put his eligibility in question a year after his jaw-dropping performance on the field made him the first freshman to win the Heisman as college football’s top player.

Speaking to the media as the team began preseason practices, Sumlin said he learned of the ESPN report Sunday. For now, Manziel will lead the Aggies. But his coach is clearly thinking of backups, too. “He’ll get as many reps as he was going to get yesterday,” Sumlin said of Manziel, before adding: “We’ve got to develop a backup quarterback no matter what.” The report is just the latest in a

string of off-the-field distractions caused by Manziel. He’s made headlines for tweeting that he “can’t wait to leave College Station,” despite having three years of eligibility remaining, he allegedly overslept at a football camp run by the Manning family and was supposedly kicked out of a University of Texas fraternity party in the past couple of months. The 20-year-old sophomore calmly answered question after

season at wide receiver, and then played quarterback for the last five games. He threw for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns against five interceptions, and also had 101 yards and seven TDs on the ground. Gardner is a work in progress — “I have to start to checking the ball down. Always want the big play,” he said — but his teammates have noticed a change in the former Detroit prep star since he became the starter behind center. “He’s grown right into it,” senior safety Thomas Gordon said. “He’s a lot more comfortable. You can see that.” While Gardner is the toast of Ann Arbor, he has a ways to go to match the celebrity that Martinez enjoys in Nebraska. The senior star, who accounted for a school-record 3,890 yards of offense and 33 touchdowns last season, spent more than an hour signing autographs during one recent trip to the mall. Martinez has started 39

consecutive games for the Cornhuskers and will leave the school with several offensive records. While he will go down as one of the best players ever at the powerhouse program, he doesn’t seem too concerned with his legacy headed into his final year. “I’ve done a lot so far in my career, so I’ve just got to take this season for what it’s worth and just enjoy it and just remember everything that happens,” Martinez said. Five things to watch in the Big Ten: 1. TOUGH UP FRONT: If you love the big guys up front, check out the offensive linemen of the Big Ten. Senior Jack Mewhort leads an experienced group for Ohio State, and Martinez raves about the unit at Nebraska. Michigan left tackle Taylor Lewan flirted with the NFL draft before deciding to return for one more season. He prepared for his final year by adopting a strict diet that he said helped increase his strength and quickness. “I’ve cheated a couple times, here and

there,” Lewan said. “I’m a sucker for ice cream.” 2. DUAL THREATS: Miller, Gardner and Martinez will grab all the headlines, but they aren’t the only Big Ten quarterbacks who can score through the air or on the ground. Northwestern’s Kain Kolter helped the Wildcats to a 10-3 record last season and their first bowl victory since 1949. Illinois’ Nathan Scheelhaase rushed for 303 yards and four touchdowns last year. 3. WHO’S THE NEW GUY: There are two new head coaches this year, with Andersen taking over at Wisconsin and Darrell Hazell going from Kent State to Purdue. The Badgers routed Nebraska in the Big Ten title game on Dec. 1, but Bret Bielema still decided to leave for Arkansas before Wisconsin’s narrow loss to Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Enter Andersen, who left Utah State for quite the unusual transition with the Badgers. “There’s going to be differences when you take over

question at SEC media days last month, acknowledging his eventful offseason and indicating he needed to make better decisions because he’s such a public figure. “I don’t feel like I’ve done anything that’s catastrophic,” Manziel said then. “Of course, I’ve made my mistakes. It’s time to grow up.” Last week, Manziel tweeted: “I ain’t perfect, I ain’t insane but I AM worth it…if there’s one thing I am worth it.”

pitcher Sergio Escalona; and free agent pitchers Fautino De Los Santos and Jordan Norberto. While the players’ association has fought many drug penalties over the past three decades, attitudes of its membership have shifted sharply in recent years and union staff encouraged settlements in the Biogenesis probe. “The accepted suspensions announced today are consistent with the punishments set forth in the Joint Drug Agreement, and were arrived at only after hours of intense negotiations between the bargaining parties, the players and their representatives,” union head Michael Weiner said. “For the player appealing, Alex Rodriguez, we agree with his decision to fight his suspension. We believe that the Commissioner has not acted appropriately … The union, consistent with its history, will defend his rights vigorously.” Fighting a brain tumor diagnosed a year ago, Weiner spoke in a raspy voice during a conference call and said the union’s executive board will consider stiffer drug penalties when players meet in December. But the union will fight Rodriguez’s discipline. “We’ve never had a 200-plus (game) penalty for a player who may have used drugs,” he said. “And among other things, I just think that’s way out of line.”

Colts hope Heyward-Bey can be back soon after knee strain ANDERSON (AP) — Darrius Heyward-Bey spent Monday afternoon watching Colts’ practice. He moved around gingerly on his sprained left knee, but didn’t need crutches. Afterward, Colts spokesman Avis Roper told reporters that Heyward-Bey’s sprained left knee was “not serious.” Yet the question has not change: How much time will he miss? Teammates and coaches insisted after Monday’s morning workout that the free-agent receiver might be back on the field soon. “Yeah, it stinks when a guy goes down but it is the nature of football and hopefully it is not too serious, I don’t think it is,” quarterback Andrew Luck said. “I feel very comfortable with all those guys, they do the right things, they run the right routes at the right time, they know how to get to the spot.” The timing couldn’t be worse. Heyward-Bey, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2009 draft, had a solid first week at training camp, impressing everyone from Indy’s second-year franchise quarterback to perennial Pro Bowler Reggie Wayne. Then, Sunday afternoon, Heyward-Bey suddenly wound up on the ground. He was taken to training tent, treated and watched the end of practice with ice around the injured knee. By Monday morning, Luck and the Colts coaches sounded optimistic, though there were clear concerns about what a prolonged absence would mean for a team already short on proven receivers. “We feel like our backups are very capable, and we expect the next man to step up,” new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said.

Packers left tackle out for year GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers may be forced to shuffle their renovated offensive line after starting left tackle Bryan Bulaga reportedly suffered a season-ending knee injury during a weekend scrimmage. Just three months ago, coach Mike McCarthy moved Bulaga from right tackle to left tackle, Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton from right guard to left guard, T.J. Lang from left guard to right guard and Marshall Newhouse, who started 28 games the past two seasons at left tackle, to right tackle. McCarthy has said he moved Sitton to left guard to put the team’s two best offensive linemen together on the same side of the line, protecting quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ blind side. Sitton and Bulaga had also played next to one another since the 2010 season. All that may be up the air now: The Journal Sentinel, citing an unidentified source, reported that Bulaga tore an ACL and will miss the season. The Packers canceled practice Monday and no one from the team was available to comment. It’s unclear when Bulaga was injured Saturday night. He took all the first-team snaps at left tackle during the scrimmage and was also on the field-goal protection unit at the end of practice.

LSU top runner Hill back with team after court appearance BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Hours after a judge decided against sending Jeremy Hill to jail for a probation violation, LSU’s leading running back last season apologized to his teammates and then joined them at practice. “We waited for legal system to act,” Miles said after Monday afternoon’s practice. “They’ve spoken very strongly to Jeremy Hill. That being said, he’s free to do things that everybody would do in this community: Attend college, play college football.” Miles stressed that Hill would face further punishment from coaches which will be handled internally, leaving open the possibility that Hill could be forced to sit out some games. However, Miles declined to specify how many games, if any, Hill may have to miss. “He owes this school, this team, this community, his best behavior,” Miles said. “We’re not certain about further punishment, but there will be some.” Hill was suspended indefinitely after his arrest more than three months ago, and Miles said he was reinstated only after his teammates voted him back on the squad. “He’s our brother. We still talk to him, still encourage him, still love him,” offensive tackle La’el Collins said. “I’m pretty sure he’s humbled and he’s worked everything out.”

Jobs welcome, but better pay is needed We like to be optimistic, and we see many reasons to be positive about the future of the U.S. economy. But underneath the surface, we also find trends that concern us. On the plus side, News reports Friday the housing said that over the past market is four years, average showing improvepay for Americans has ment, and fallen slightly behind the automobile sales are inflation rate — even higher. though inflation is at Friday, a report showed the historic lows. nation’s unemployment rate edged down to 7.4 percent. But digging deeper casts a different light on many of the new jobs being created in America. Part-time work accounted for more than 65 percent of the jobs added in July. Low-paying retailers, restaurants and bars supplied more than half of the month’s job gain. The trend is similar for the entire first half of 2013. Low-paying industries have provided 61 percent of U.S. job growth. Mid-paying industries have contributed only 22 percent of new jobs, according to the Associated Press. “The jobs that are being created are not generating much income,” one economist told AP over the weekend. Local financial adviser David Hefty of Auburn mentioned the same trend in his mid-year report, which we covered last week. Hefty said he’s watching a “tale of two nations.” At the top, people are profiting from record high prices in the stock market. But most Americans are treading water, struggling to stay even. News reports Friday said that over the past four years, average pay for Americans has fallen slightly behind the inflation rate — even though inflation is at historic lows. Analysts say low-wage jobs are growing faster than other types, because they can’t be done by someone from overseas. In contrast, manufacturing employment has changed little over the past 12 months, a government report said. In one positive trend, employment in building motor vehicles and parts rose by 9,000 in July. That’s a good sign for northeast Indiana, the nation’s capital for manufacturing. The long-term fix for employment could lie in a strategy Indiana already is beginning to implement — better training for Hoosier workers in skills that match the needs of private-sector employers. In spite of the unsettling facts about jobs and wages, new reports say U.S. consumer confidence is running at a five-year high. If Americans are feeling confident enough to start spending, that could go a long way toward moving the nation toward more jobs and better pay.

Letters to The Editor • Road spending increase is incredible To the editor: I could hardly believe my eyes when I read the recent submission to the newspaper by the state Rep. Ben Smaltz. He openly bragged about his key role in boosting state spending on roads by an incredible $215 million each year, a hike of 33.5 percent. I’ll bet even the Obama Administration in Washington, D.C., is impressed

by a one-year spending bump of 33.5 percent. Could this really be the same fellow who won election to the Statehouse only one year ago by calling for smaller government, by saying he knew how to reduce government and had done it at the local level? He reminds me more of that old song, “Hey, Big Spender.” Does Rep. Smaltz think this money is free? The lease of the toll road lasts for 75 years. This means the money gained

by the lease also needs to last for 75 years, something that will not happen if we celebrate an annual spending increase of 33.5 percent. I thought we elected a conservative Republican to District 52 of the Indiana Statehouse last year. It sure doesn’t look like it. Something must have happened to Rep. Smaltz when he reached the Statehouse in Indianapolis. Kathy Douglas Garrett

How do we cut government red tape? This past session, lawmakers worked with Gov. Mike Pence to prioritize Indiana businesses and help unemployed Hoosiers get back to work. We focused on managing Indiana’s fiscal health by passing an honestly balanced budget and reducing taxpayer-funded debt. We also passed significant tax cuts, further empowering working families and businesses who are trying to expand. Over the past few years, I’ve made a conscious effort to support Indiana’s tradition of hard work, low taxes and low business regulations. Indiana has reduced its corporate income tax rate, capped property taxes, cut the individual income tax and eliminated the inheritance tax. These efforts have been recognized, as Indiana ranks first in the Midwest in the Tax Foundation’s most recent Business Tax Climate Index. Such measures are paying off in tangible ways, too. As the economic engines begin to turn again, Indiana remains at the head of the pack. Our state’s economy grew at the eighthfastest rate in the nation in 2012, and statistics show that in June, the manufacturing industry saw its biggest one-month jobs

gain in nine years. These factors all emphasize that Indiana is a state that works for business, but there is still more we can do. Each year, as technology develops and business practices advance, we must take steps to ensure burdensome regulations are not impeding potential progress. According to Gov. DENNIS Pence’s office, there are more than 11,000 KRUSE business regulations currently on the books. The overwhelming number of guidelines and “red tape” for businesses is hindering what’s really important: more jobs for Hoosiers. That’s why the Office of Management and Budget created the new “Cut Red Tape” website: in.gov/cutredtape/index. htm This website allows Hoosiers from all walks of life and all different sectors of

Recalling all the mavericks, old and new WASHINGTON — As congressional leaders depart the nation’s capital for a much-deserved five-week break, it is with a sense of relief and pride in accomplishment: A grand bargain budget that ends sequestration and makes rational spending cuts, a sane immigration reform package, and progress on a cost-cutting health care plan. Well, a girl can dream, can’t she? You know how it goes. You wake up smiling at the memory of love when you realize that the nose nuzzling your neck belongs to the dog that needs to go out. It is not, in fact, your birthday. And you have not, alas, been notified that a recently discovered document at Buckingham Palace identifies you as rightful heir to a vast fortune and several well-managed countries. Which is to say, Congress went home without doing much of anything. As everyone knows, Republicans are to blame. They are the obstructionists, the just-say-no enemies of women, immigrants, health care for the poor, shoes for the born, and equality for gay whales, to mention a few. This “narrative,” as they say, is pure propaganda. President Obama achieved huge legislative victories (Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, bailouts, two Supreme Court appointments) when he had hefty majorities in Congress. Once those margins were lost or reduced in the 2010 election, the president’s focus shifted to scoring political

points by shouting, “Obstruction!” In truth, no serious efforts have been made toward compromise because it is in neither side’s political interest. This is not to say that the GOP is problem-free. Far from it. tea party/ KATHLEEN The libertarian poses PARKER express a serious threat to the party and, therefore, the nation. (Don’t we really want two healthy parties?) Then again, stepping back just a tad, what we’re witnessing is perhaps an inevitable generational realignment. Think maverick. Remember when John McCain was the bad boy, always going his own way? Thinking for himself? Talking candidly with the press? (Out of respect for seniority, we’ll lurch past his temporary lapse of judgment in 2008.) Actually, McCain wasn’t that much of a maverick, a nickname first suggested in 1989 by Dan Casey, then executive director of the American Conservative Union, which consistently gave McCain respectable marks for conservative votes. Today, as time would have it, McCain is Mr. Establishment. He not only lunches with the enemy but dines with the president. Isn’t

•

this how life goes? Teenagers eventually grow up and become their parents. McCain is the GOP grandpa swatting at ankle-biting upstarts such as fellow Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. They are the new, out-ofthe-box mavericks. And the squabbles that threaten to shut down the government come Oct. 1 may be part of a larger generational struggle to redefine the party. Suicide isn’t as catchy as “Winning!” — but, as Rush Limbaugh has suggested, at least it’s a stand. Cruz and Paul, whom McCain once called “wacko birds,” have threatened to shut down the government unless Obamacare is defunded. (On Friday, McCain said that both Cruz and Paul would be “viable” presidential candidates in 2016. Hardly a ringing endorsement, but … something. Obviously, Obama won’t sign off on a budget that defunds his chief achievement. But the alternative of Republicans reforming Obamacare isn’t appealing because they don’t want to help save it. The threatened shutdown, however, is more tilting at windmills than slingshots against giants. Either Cruz and Paul have sincerely deluded themselves about the political consequences of a shutdown or, plausibly, they don’t really think they can cause a shutdown and would never have to suffer the consequences. Meanwhile, they make political points with the base by blaming the GOP

“sellouts” when the establishment adults keep the trains running on time. Even if these newbie mavericks were successful in their defunding effort, it would only be a temporary “win,” since funding comes up annually. Moreover, such a temporary victory would give Democrats a far-reaching advantage. Thereafter, responsibility for any dissatisfaction with the health care system would shift to the GOP. Alternatively, the old maverick could prevail. Dropping from his cockpit, the flight-suited McCain strides toward the microphone, pausing briefly to high-five wingman Lindsey Graham and crew member Kelly (Ayotte, not McGillis), and announces: “We passed a bipartisan budget today that ends sequestration, includes significant spending cuts and a tax overhaul. Eleven million illegal immigrants have been invited to become legal residents and begin a rigorous path toward citizenship. We have accepted Disney World’s offer to revamp the nation’s infrastructure and mass transportation systems. With the president’s blessing, Switzerland has agreed to fix Obamacare. That’s it. Enjoy the rest of your summer.” In our dreams. KATHLEEN PARKER is a syndicated columnist with Tribune Media Services. She can be reached at kathleenparker@washpost.com

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

Help plentiful for vets going back to school DEAR ABBY: This letter is for “Torn in Milford, Conn.” (May 16). I returned to college after 20 years of active duty and know firsthand how difficult the transition can be. Most universities have a veterans’ service office where he might be able to connect with students with similar backgrounds and experiences to his. There should also be chapters of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars where he can meet others. I was fortunate that the university I attended (at age 45) had a dorm floor specifically for “nontraditional” students like me. In classes, I was able to make friends because my unique experiences enabled me to connect to the material in ways younger students could not, and by sharing those connections, people got to know me. Starting over — starting something new — is always

difficult, but no education is ever wasted. If he does want to explore a career in security, “Torn” should take a part-time job while attending school to help cover expenses; universities always need DEAR highly skilled ABBY employees, and university towns are filled with Jeanne Phillips venues that require such skills. That being said, a diploma will get him further in his future. — NONTRADITIONAL STUDENT DEAR NONTRADITIONAL STUDENT: Thank you for sharing your personal experience. Your support and encouragement for “Torn” to

complete his college education was endorsed by many other vets and college professors, who find vets to be great students: DEAR ABBY: I’m concerned that there may be more going on with “Torn” than just that he/she doesn’t fit in with peers in school. Being a combat vet and feeling disconnected from peers or having a desire to return to what they knew before (security work) is a sign of PTSD. Missing work is often “code” for survivor’s guilt. (“If I could go back and make it right, perhaps my buddy would be here, or I would be with my buddy.”) There are services available for vets suffering from PTSD if they recognize the need to reach out for them. Also, if this vet is using his/her educational benefits, then the chances of there being a training plan to help in readjustment is likely. —VET

THE BORN LOSER BY ART & CHIP SANSOM

Sudden drop in sex drive cause for concern their early 50s. The “male” hormones, androgens, are also made by women, in lower amounts. They are important in generating sexual desire. A substantial fraction of female androgens are made by the ovaries. While female androgen levels remain relatively constant after ASK menopause, DOCTOR K. removal of the ovaries (surgical Dr. Anthony menopause) can cause Komaroff testosterone, the main type of androgen, to drop, and with it, sexual desire. While sexual desire declines somewhat in women after menopause, a sudden drop for no good reason merits a

•

trip to your doctor. He or she will look for physical causes to explain your diminished sex drive. Many chronic medical conditions can impinge on desire. So, too, can treatments for these conditions. Low libido may also stem from chronic pain that causes discomfort during intercourse. A common cause of such pain is the condition called endometriosis. If there are no obvious physical causes to address, your doctor will explore your attitudes and feelings about sex. If there may be a psychological or relationship issue, one option is sex therapy. The therapist may suggest that both you and your significant other participate. You will be encouraged to explore any negative feelings that may surround sex. Relationship-building exercises may be recommended to increase trust, communication and sensual awareness. You may also be taught stress-reduction techniques.

Almanac •

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a woman in my 50s. I’ve always had a healthy sex drive, but lately it’s gone bye-bye. What could be wrong? DEAR READER: There aren’t a lot of people with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude about sex. We are sexual creatures, and for most of our lives, we are well aware of having sexual desire. So when you notice that it’s just not there, it is upsetting. Many women report a loss of sexual desire. One huge survey of women in different countries found that more than 30 percent of women report this problem, to the point that it causes them distress. Loss of desire is most frequent among women in the 45-65 age group, and then tapers off after age 65. There are many reasons for a decline in a person’s sex drive, some physical and some psychological. A decline in the production of estrogen with menopause is one reason, and most U.S. women enter menopause in

Medical treatments are also available. One option is hormone treatment with testosterone. As testosterone levels decline with age, a woman’s sexual interest and responsiveness may also drop off. Another medical option is bupropion. This antidepressant may increase sexual desire and arousal even if you don’t have depression. It can also counter the negative sexual side effects of other antidepressant medications. Finally, an experimental drug called flibanserin appears to boost female sexual desire. However, it has not been FDA-approved to treat low libido in women. Most of my female patients who have experienced distressing lack of sexual desire have been helped by one of more of these treatments. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
