County won’t seek tax hike

GOOD MORNING

Budget order upsets commissioners

University of Iowa named top party school in nation

BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — The DeKalb County Council on Monday said it would not seek a local option income tax or appeal for an excess property tax levy to help cover a $1.5 million shortfall the county is facing in 2014. During its budget sessions last week, the council suggested that higher taxes might be needed to

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 released its “stone-cold sober schools” list — led again this year by Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah; and followed by Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill.

deal with the looming shortfall caused by rising heath care costs, higher property tax refunds and mounting delinquent taxes. Instead, council members said Monday at their regular meeting they would take other avenues toward solving the problem. “The County Council believes the 2014 budget can be achieved without additional taxes,” its president, Alan Middleton, said

Monday. “To resolve our present financial situation, it will take the focus of both the commissioners and the council to monitor all tax monies available to provide our current services now and in the future.” One of council’s proposed solutions drew immediate criticism from the county commissioners. The council sliced the commissioners’ health insurance line in the general budget by $1 million — to $375,000. It ordered the commissioners to revise their plan

Peter Capaldi picked as new star of ‘Doctor Who’ 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 suppertime 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.

BUTLER — She’s twice been a runner-up and one year didn’t place, but Sunday night, Megan Smaltz finally won the title of Miss Northeast’s Outstanding Teen. Smaltz was crowned during the 41st Miss Northeast Scholarship Pageant. She has competed in the pageant for the past four years. She is the daughter of Ben and Shelley Smaltz of Auburn.

In July, she served as master of ceremonies during the Tri Kappa Triathlon in Auburn. “I talked to students at the schools and encouraged them to participate,” Smaltz said. “It was encouraging to see the amount of children who got up early in the morning to race.” For her talent, Smaltz performed a tap dance. She captured the interview award and the evening wear award for the evening. Smaltz will compete in the Miss Indiana’s Outstanding Teen pageant in June 2014 at SEE TEEN, PAGE A6

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 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 SEE LEADER, PAGE A6

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

for spending county economic development income taxes to include $1 million for health insurance. The commissioners said the mandate means they cannot tackle a list of major projects that were earmarked for economic development income tax funds. They said they will shop for a bargain-basement health insurance package for county employees that covers only catastrophic events. In their own meeting later

judge placed Parker on probation for one year 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. SEE UNLICENSED, PAGE A6

The event aims to: heighten crime and drug awareness; generate support for, and participation in local anti-crime efforts; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. From 7-10 tonight, Garrett residents are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police. The Garrett Police Department invites neighborhoods to host events such as block parties and cookouts, visits from the police, contests, youth activities and anti-crime rallies.

the CHANGE Academy. The vehicle purchase will be paid for through grant dollars, commissioners explained. The commissioners also approved a $1,600 transfer to pay for a new air compressor and universal joint on the county health department’s 2002 Dodge Durango vehicle. The department had been directed by the DeKalb County Council to research whether repairing a vehicle

with 128,000 miles on it would be more responsible than buying a new vehicle. A representative from the department said it would be “incredibly shortsighted to abandon” a vehicle that is serving the needs of the department. The council approved the fund transfer earlier Monday. Also Monday, commissioners asked for more information from Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival director Sarah Payne on

a request to use county property for a Kiddie Cruiser Activity event Aug. 30 and 31. The commissioners need more clarity on insurance coverage. The event would need a waiver for it to last longer than the county’s six-hour cap. Th activity, which would be held on the lawn west of the sheriff’s department and jail, would include a bungee activity, rock wall and other games in conjunction with the ACD Festival cruise-in.

Fort Wayne man dies in Florida crash COLUMBIA COUNTY, Fla. — A Fort Wayne man died and his wife and child were severely injured in 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 members 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 Interstate 10 at the 311 mile marker at around 9:15 p.m. when, for an unknown reason, she drove off the roadway and their vehicle spun clockwise onto the north shoulder of the road, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reported. The sport utility vehicle landed in a ditch, which was full of standing water due to heavy rain in the area, and flipped over. Police said the vehicle’s roof hit a pine tree

and came to a rest against the tree. Shawn Cobb was a passenger in the vehicle. Windy Cobb was flown to a hospital in Gainesville in critical condition, NewsChannel 15 reported. Police said the couple’s son, Breydon Cobb, 14, Fort Wayne, was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Lake City, Fla. He then was taken to the same hospital as his mother in serious condition. Police said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

LEADER: Some posts reopened on Monday FROM PAGE A1

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 govern-

ment 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.

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

COUNTY: Budget called ‘very phony, artificial’ FROM PAGE A1

Monday, commissioners called the council’s requirements “shocking” as they discussed how, if at all, they can afford to offer suitable health insurance to county employees. “To me, they have pulled what I would call a federal government move,” Commissioner Randy Deetz said about the council. “They have taken money away from a pot that had money in it to fund their own needs and called it a balanced budget, and that is absolutely a fallacy. They’ve raided and robbed money that shouldn’t have been touched, was not intended to be touched, to balance a budget — so therefore I think it is a very phony, artificial budget that has been approved.” “It’s their charge to be the fiscal body, and I feel they’re not doing their job,” Commissioner Don Grogg said about the council. The commissioners said they plan to schedule a special, joint meeting with the council to discuss the spending mandates. The council also

approved a series of measures to keep better track of the county’s finances moving forward: • After the county commissioners approve additional spending of county economic development income tax dollars, the council must give final approval, the council voted. • The council must approve all requests for new funds for deposits for money in the county treasury. • The auditor’s office must present all transfers intended to eliminate debt to the council for approval. • The council will receive a monthly financial report from the auditor’s office that shows the beginning and current balances of each county fund and each department’s expenditures. Middleton said the measures are designed to be transparent as the county works to get back in strong financial standing. The council set its budget work days for Sept. 17 and 18. In other business Monday, the council voted to withdraw a request from the commissioners to pay

$72,725 for removal of the historic iron-truss bridge on C.R. 75 over the CSX railroad tracks just east of St. Joe and design and engineering of cul-de-sacs at the site. The bridge, considered a “select” bridge on the Indiana Historic Bridge inventory list, is extensively corroded and has been targeted for removal. The commissioners last month approved a contract with USI Consultants to remove the 140-foot-long bridge. Monday, however, farmer Leon Steury and three other residents appeared before the council to oppose the contract, saying the bridge is vital for travel in the area. Steury estimated $100,000 in fuel would be wasted annually by motorists traveling the additional six miles around the tracks. He said the motorists are “being denied the right of public access.” Commissioner Randy Deetz told the council that the project is “not a done deal” and said the commissioners would look at other options.

UNLICENSED: One of two twins died in incident 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.

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 Buckeyes won all 12 games, and Braxton Miller developed into a superstar quarterback along the way. That’s all gone now, practically ancient history in football-mad Columbus. 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. Start talking about things that are way beyond even, I don’t want to say expectations, but we don’t talk about those 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

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.”

SLEEPERS: Pat “I am disappointed with Fitzgerald has coached the penalty and intend to Northwestern to five appeal and fight this through consecutive bowl berths, culminating in the Wildcats’ the process. I am eager to get back on the field and 34-20 victory over Missisbe with my teammates in sippi State in the Gator Bowl in January. Ohio State, Chicago tonight,” Rodriguez said in a statement. Michigan and Michigan The suspensions are State come to Evanston this thought to be the most at year, where Northwestern once for off-the-field conduct doesn’t enjoy much of a home-field advantage but since 1921, when Commiscould begin to build one sioner Kenesaw Mountain with a couple victories.

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

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.
