IUP survey takes stock of campus life, culture

WITH RESPECT

of university it wanted to be, that its responses to incidents are reactive, not proactive, and that there was a fear that talk of inclusion was just lip service. Some said they felt silenced if an incident involving racism or sexism didn’t become a public relations or legal problem for the university. The Punxsutawney campus wasn’t a part of the study, but it frequently came up during conversation, Hildebrandt said. Students and faculty members of color there said they felt isolated and that the community could be “aggressively unwelcoming” and hostile. Students at Indiana reported what they believed to be discrimination from local police and from businesses when applying for jobs. They reported the community outside of IUP was less open-minded and sometimes hostile. Students who identified as LGBTQIA (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex Asexual) reported experiencing microaggressions to surveyors and those in lesbian and gay relationships said they were afraid to show public displays of affection with their significant others. They reported bullying and Continued on Page 4

Over the past two years, a committee has been working on Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s campus climate survey to take the temperature of feelings on diversity and inclusion. The results were first shared publicly Thursday afternoon before the Council of Trustees. It included input from students, faculty and staff on how they perceive the culture of IUP and whether they believe the university is effective in its practices on diversity and inclusion. Dr. Melanie Hildebrandt and Dr. Melissa Swauger, both sociology professors, presented the findings. The full report is about 170 pages long and is nearly complete. It will soon be released to the public online. At the student level, minorities and people from underrepresented groups told surveyors during focus groups and interviews that they want more contact with people from the majority group and that groups were socially segregated. For example, minority students said they hold events and invite everyone to come but few white people ever attend. They also said IUP “lacks a clear vision” of what kind

Hearing to address epidemic of opioid abuse in rural areas By The Indiana Gazette Once a problem seen primarily in Pennsylvania’s big cities, the opioid scourge now has taken a firm grip in rural areas, to devastating effect. Of all counties in the state, Indiana County had the greatest increase in overdose drug deaths last year: from nine in 2014 to 36 in 2015, a 300 percent increase. And the pace this year is ahead of last year’s, according to Indiana

County Coroner Jerry Overman. The Center for Rural Pennsylvania is keenly aware that the drug problem has been just as prevalent in the state’s rural counties. That’s why the agency is holding a public hearing Tuesday morning in White Township to solicit testimony on confronting the state’s opioid epidemic and how it is affecting more rural counties. Hosted by state Sen. Don

White, R-Indiana, the hearing will be held at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. State Sen. Gene Yaw, chairman of the Center for Rural Pennsylvania’s board of directors, said the public hearings are intended to continue to raise awareness of the health crisis of heroin addiction and fatalities, and to bring greater focus and attention to treatment and recovery services.

Clinton back to campaign; Trump offers tax-cut plan

Man pleads guilty to sexual charges By The Indiana Gazette A northern Indiana County man averted a Monday trial on rape-related charges by pleading guilty Thursday to two felony charges. Mark Patterson, 23, will be sentenced Jan. 13 in Indiana County Court. Each count is a seconddegree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $25,000. State police had accused Patterson of raping a 16year-old girl several times in the summer of 2015 at a residence in Banks Township, and raping a 24year-old woman in January in his residence in Glen Campbell.

In a plea agreement with the district attorney’s office, Patterson pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated indecent assault without consent in each case, and prosecutors set aside 22 other charges. According to the criminal complaints, Patterson stayed about three or four weeks at the teenage girl’s home, where she repeatedly refused his requests to have sex with her. The girl told investigators that Patterson forced her three times to have intercourse and another time to perform oral sex on him in her bedroom. Patterson was told to move out of the residence Continued on Page 10

“These speakers will provide the Center for Rural Pennsylvania with a comprehensive report on how deeply the opioid epidemic is impacting our local communities and the steps some of our local groups and organizations are taking to stop the addiction problem before it starts,” White said in a release. “Addiction to heroin and opioids is playing havoc right here at home and the Continued on Page 10

HILLARY CLINTON

DONALD TRUMP

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Hillary Clinton returned to campaigning without offering apologies for keeping her pneumonia a secret, focusing on criticizing opponent Donald Trump instead of how she handled her health problem. To the strains of James Brown’s “I Feel Good,” the Democratic presidential candidate returned to the campaign trail Thursday at a rally in North Carolina. It was her first public outing since she stumbled and needed support from aides while leaving a 9/11 memorial in New York on Sunday. The episode, caught on video, was attrib-

uted to dizziness and dehydration. And it led to an acknowledgment by the Clinton campaign that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier. Clinton told supporters Thursday that while sitting at home this week was “pretty much the last place I wanted to be,” the time away from campaign events helped clarify how she wants to close her race against the billionaire real estate mogul Trump. “We’re offering ideas, not insults,” she said in a jab at her Republican rival. “A plan that will make a real difference in people’s lives, not

prejudice and paranoia.” In New York, Trump laid out plans to lower taxes by $4.4 trillion over a decade and cut regulations, including some of those currently intended to protect the food Americans eat and the air they breathe. The Republican said his plans would bolster economic growth by at least a 3.5 percent annual rate, well above its current rate of about 2 percent. He also said his plan would create 25 million new jobs over the next 10 years — a pace already being achieved. The heart of Trump’s plan is a revised tax code, which includes a pledge that no busiContinued on Page 10

IUP survey takes stock of campus life, culture Continued from Page 1 said there were times they did not feel comfortable. They called for greater education for their peers on LGBTQIA issues. Some reported they had trouble bonding with professors, that they felt some faculty members were patronizing them. Students of color reported feeling uncomfortable asking questions in class or during office hours because “they feared that asking those questions would reinforce the stereotypes: that they’re underprepared, less intelligent, undeserving to be here,” Hildebrandt said. From the faculty, surveyors said there were complaints of inconsistency and ambiguity in the promoting system and a lack of transparency in hiring. They also said that some forms of service, such as serving on committees, were devalued. They asked for more training and professional development on issues of diversity. Both faculty and staff reported pervasive work-life balance issues. Phase one of the survey was quantitative and included responses from 1,142 people. Aggregated demographic information about those respondents was not available. Phase two was qualitative and consisted of interviews and focus groups with a total of 178 respondents. Respondents in phase two were 61 percent students, 17 percent faculty and 22 percent staff. Participants were 47 percent white, 53 percent people of color, 73 percent women and 23 percent men. Swauger said they over-

sampled minorities and other underrepresented groups as part of their strategy to hear their experiences. Hildebrandt said the overall climate had to be understood in context, that in some areas the climate was safer and more inclusive than in other places and in some cases was quite good. “The good news is, more people feel comfortable,” she said. “They’re very comfortable or comfortable on campus than feel uncomfortable or very uncomfortable.” She said they probed those ideas of comfort deeper. “But when we actually talked to people about what comfort means, and how they experience comfort and how they make themselves feel comfortable, we found that certain people feel more welcome, they feel they fit in better here, and they don’t have obstacles to overcome as often as others do.” She said it varied by college, major, physical space on campus and in reference to the community. The first recommendation from the survey was to establish a diversity action plan and a diversity task force. Hildebrandt and Swauger also recommended the university enhance student experience by institutionalizing diversity and inclusion, assess current work evaluation practices, allow leave time and flex time opportunities for faculty and staff, and acknowledge discriminatory incidents at the Punxsutawney campus. The overall student population is 73 percent white, 10 percent African-

American, and 3 percent Latino. The faculty is 82 percent white, 3 percent black and 1.5 percent Latino. Staff is 94 percent white. “So we have to grow and increase the representation of minority faculty also to mentor, support and attract a diverse population of students,” Hildebrandt said. “There’s widespread support for increasing the diversity of the IUP population.” They also suggested establishing an office of the ombudsman who could navigate issues as they arise. IUP President Michael Driscoll said there was great substance in the report. “It was very important for us to assess the status of everyone’s life here: perceptions, reality, both important, and how inclusive and diverse we are and how people feel about that,” he said. “We started this effort well before some of the stuff that happened last year,” he said, referring to the racist Snapchat image that was widely shared across the university and sparked outrage from African-American students. He said the president’s commission on diversity also recommended a creating a task force to take the university forward. He has asked the commission to dig into the climate survey results and help analyze them. “We need to get things done, not just talk about them, and I think we have some great guidance to do that,” he said.

West Shamokin to open Little Free Library RURAL VALLEY — Little Free Libraries have become a global phenomenon. The small book exchange libraries number over 40,000 around the world in 70 different countries, from Iceland to Tasmania to Japan.

Dominion workers end union lockout CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An agreement has been reached to end a weeklong lockout at Dominionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural gas and interstate transmission subsidiaries. Dominion Hope and Dominion Transmission agreed to end the lockout involving 915 workers in six states, while the United Gas Workers Union Local 69 vowed not to strike. The agreement, announced in a joint news release Wednesday, runs through April 1, 2017. The statement said union members are scheduled to report for their regular shifts on Saturday. Bargaining on a new contract is set to resume early next month. The lockout began Sept. 7 for workers in Ohio, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. A union official had said a union committee rejected an earlier contract agreement in part over medical insurance and pension proposals for new hires.

Frein jurors to be bused to court WEST CHESTER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The jurors who will decide the fate of a man charged with killing a state trooper in an ambush shooting in rural northeastern Pennsylvania will be bused in from the Philadelphia suburbs. The (West Chester) Daily Local News reported that jurors for the trial of Eric Frein, 33, will be picked in March from Chester County. The panel will then be taken to Pike County, where the shooting occurred outside the Blooming Grove barracks in September 2014. Frein is charged with fatally shooting Cpl. Bryon Dickson II and wounding another trooper, setting off a 48day manhunt before U.S. marshals caught him about 30 miles from the shooting scene. Frein has pleaded not guilty.

Official: Pa. improves hotline HARRISBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The head of Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Human Services said his agency has improved the performance of a hotline that handles reports of suspected child abuse. Secretary Ted Dallas said Thursday that the rate of calls to the ChildLine hotline that are abandoned or deflected has fallen from 43 percent at the start of 2015 to 2 percent. Dallas said his agency has added staff, upgraded training and improved technology so that all calls are recorded, and they are easier to process. The department reported that it is now processing all child abuse history clearances within the lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14-day limit, and the average time is about a day and a half. In early 2015, clearances averaged 26 days. New laws to prevent child abuse took effect in January 2015, increasing calls to ChildLine.

Truckers warn speed caps will cause crashes By TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer

DETROIT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Truckers are warning that a government plan to electronically limit the speed of tractor-trailers will lead to highway traffic jams and possibly an increase in deadly run-ins with cars. More than 150 people, most identifying themselves as independent truckers, have filed comments recently with the government about the proposed rule, unveiled last month by two federal agencies. There were only a few comments in favor. The government has proposed requiring electronic speed limiters on all trucks and buses over 26,000 pounds manufactured after the regulation goes into effect. Speeds could be limited to 60, 65 or 68 miles per hour when the rule is finalized after a comment period that ends Nov. 7. Regulators and others favoring speed limiters say the rule is supported by simple physics: If trucks travel slower, the impact of a crash will be less severe and fewer people will be injured or killed. But truckers say the government is actually creating conditions for more collisions by focusing on the severity of the crash while ignoring the dynamic of trucks and cars traveling at different speeds. Truckers also want to travel as far as they can in the hours theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allowed to drive under federal rules. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration analyzed data from 2004 through 2013 and

TED S. WARREN/Associated Press

TRUCK AND automobile traffic mixed on Interstate 5, headed north through Fife, Wash., near the Port of Tacoma. found that on average 1,044 people died per year in crashes involving heavy trucks on roads with speed limits of at least 55 mph. The agency also found that if truck speeds were limited to 60 mph, 162 to 498 lives per year would be saved because the impact of a crash would be less severe. At 65 mph, up to 214 lives would be saved, and as many as 96 would be saved with a 68 mph limit. But truckers says slowing them down increases the chances of trucks being hit from behind by cars allowed to go 70 mph or more. Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, the largest group of independent truckers, says most cartruck crashes on freeways where traffic is going the same direction involves a car rear-ending a truck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The net effect of their

rule means that the truck will be running slower still,â&#x20AC;? Spencer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crash scenario thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more severe.â&#x20AC;? Doug Kruzan, a driver from Simpsonville, S.C., near Greenville, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen cars hit the back of slower trucks many times as the rigs move into the left lane to pass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming up behind him at 70, 75. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow down that quick. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to run into the back of that truck every time,â&#x20AC;? said Kruzan. NHTSA statistics show that of all the fatal crashes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not limited to freeway driving â&#x20AC;&#x201D; between big trucks and passenger vehicles in 2014, the latest year available, about 15 percent involved cars rear-ending large trucks, according to NHTSA statistics. The Motor Carrier Safety Administration has reported that of 438,000 crashes involving large trucks in 2014,

the front of the truck was the impact point in 38 percent of them. The rear of the truck was hit in 24 percent. Many truckers say all vehicles should be limited to the same speed, but a NHTSA spokesman said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not being considered. He would not comment on Spencerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allegation that the government ignored the impact of varied speeds. Truckers also say if the rule is adopted, tractortrailers will try to pass each other at similar speeds, causing â&#x20AC;&#x153;blockadesâ&#x20AC;? that will clog traffic and frustrate car drivers. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, they say, because the rule isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t retroactive some truckers will try to prolong the lives of older trucks that otherwise would be replaced by newer models. Steve Owings, an Atlanta financial planner, whose 2006 petition helped bring about the proposed regulation, says predictions of

highway logjams are exaggerated. Owings noted that a 2007 survey by the American Trucking Associations, the largest group of trucking companies in the nation, found that 69 percent of all trucking companies used speed limiters on at least some rigs. The average limit was 69 mph. The association hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taken a more recent survey, but Owings believes the number of trucks with speed limiters has grown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a national traffic jam now because of them trying to pass each other,â&#x20AC;? said Owings, whose son was killed by a speeding truck while he was returning to college in 2002. The ATA joined Owings in petitioning for the speed limiters, seeking a top speed of 65 mph. The independent truckers also argued in comments that the regulations will benefit the big trucking companies at the expense of independent operators who need to cover more ground each day. Owings wants NHTSA to make the limiters retroactive to trucks built since the early 1990s that have the capability of limiting speeds with low-cost software changes. But NHTSA says that could cost up to $2,000 per truck. The speed limiters also would take care of the problem of trucks traveling faster speeds than their tires can handle. An investigation by The Associated Press last year found that most truck tires canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle speeds above 75 mph, yet some states let trucks go 80 mph or even 85 mph.

Brain cancer now leading childhood cancer killer By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brain cancer is now the deadliest childhood cancer in the U.S., ahead of leukemia, a result of improved leukemia treatment and a frustrating lack of progress on brain cancer. Government statisticians reported the change in rankings today, drawing from a review of 15 years of death certificates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think most people, when they think of childhood cancer, think of leukemia,â&#x20AC;? said Sally Curtin of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is kind of a changing of the guard.â&#x20AC;? Cancer is the fourth-leading cause of death for chil-

dren overall, accounting for about 1 in 10 childhood deaths in 2014. About a quarter these cancer deaths, or 534, were due to brain cancer. There were 445 leukemia deaths. Accidental injuries remained the leading cause of death for those under 19, followed by suicide and murder, according to the report. There are still more new cases of leukemia each year than new cases of brain cancer, but it no longer accounts for the most deaths. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due to advances in leukemia treatment over the past few decades and because leukemia is easier than brain cancer to treat, experts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some types of leukemia that a generation ago were

almost universally fatal are now almost universally treatable,â&#x20AC;? said Curtin, a statistician who worked on the report. But the rate of death from brain cancer for children has held at about the same level for at least 15 years, according to the CDC report. The trends are similar for adults, too, according to the American Cancer Society. Leukemia is a type cancer that affects the blood. That makes it easier for doctors to get to it and fight it with treatments like chemother-

apy. The brain is protected by a barrier that helps keep many dangerous chemicals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including many cancer drugs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from getting to brain tissue or brain tumors. Surgery is difficult and sometimes impossible, depending on where the tumor is located in the brain. Radiation treatment can damage the development of a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survival, and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survival at a price,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Katherine Warren, an expert in pediatric brain tumor research at the National Cancer In-

stitute. Another factor is that scientists have only recently begun to understand that pediatric brain cancers may be biologically different from adult versions, and could require different approaches to treatment. In 2014, the brain cancer death rate was about 0.7 per 100,000 children ages 1 through 19. The leukemia death rate was about 0.6. The overall pediatric cancer death rate dropped by about a fifth between 1999 and 2014, the CDC reported, helped by the reduction in leukemia deaths.

When crackpot vies for office

ne of the mental traps that we all fall into, journalists included, is to perceive politics through narratives. President Gerald Ford had been a star football player, yet somehow we in the media developed a narrative of him as a klutz — so that every time he stumbled, a clip was on the evening news. Likewise, we in the media wrongly portrayed President Jimmy Carter as a bumbling lightweight, even as he tackled the toughest challenges, from recognizing China to returning the Panama Canal. Then in 2000, we painted Al Gore as inauthentic and having a penchant for self-aggrandizing exaggerations, and the most memorable element of the presidential debates that year became not George W. Bush’s misstatements but Gore’s dramatic sighs. I bring up this checkered track record because I wonder if once again our collective reporting isn’t fueling misperceptions. A CNN/ORC poll this month found that by a margin of 15 percentage points, voters thought Donald Trump was “more honest and trustworthy” than Hillary Clinton. Let’s be frank: This public perception is completely at odds with all evidence. On the PolitiFact website, 13 percent of Clinton’s statements that were checked were rated “false” or “pants on fire,” compared with 53 percent of Trump’s. Conversely, half of Clinton’s are rated “true” or “mostly true” compared to 15 percent of Trump statements. Clearly, Clinton shades the truth — yet there’s no comparison with Trump. Nicholas Kristof I’m not sure that journalism bears writes a column responsibility, but this does raise the for The New York thorny issue of false equivalence, Times. which has been hotly debated among journalists this campaign. Here’s the question: Is it journalistic malpractice to quote each side and leave it to readers to reach their own conclusions, even if one side seems to fabricate facts or make ludicrous comments? President Barack Obama weighed in this week, saying that “we can’t afford to act as if there’s some equivalence here.” I’m wary of grand conclusions about false equivalence from 30,000 feet. But at the grass roots of a campaign, I think we can do better at signaling that one side is a clown. There are crackpots who believe that the earth is flat, and they don’t deserve to be quoted without explaining that this is an, er, outlying view, and the same goes for a crackpot who has argued that climate change is a Chinese-made hoax, who has called for barring Muslims and who has said that he will build a border wall and that Mexico will pay for it. We owe it to our readers to signal when we’re writing about a crackpot. Even if he’s a presidential candidate. No — especially when he’s a presidential candidate. There frankly has been a degree of unreality to some of the campaign discussion: Partly because Hillary Clinton’s narrative is one of a slippery, dishonest candidate, the discussion disproportionately revolves around that theme. Yes, Clinton has been disingenuous and legalistic in her explanations of emails. Meanwhile, Trump is a mythomaniac who appears to have systematically cheated customers of Trump University. Clinton’s finances are a minefield, which we know because she has released 39 years of tax returns; Trump would be the first major party nominee since Ford not to release his tax return (even Ford released a tax summary). And every serious analyst knows that Trump is telling a whopper when he gleefully promises to build a $25 billion wall that Mexico will pay for. Then there’s the question of foundations. Yes, Clinton created conflicts of interest with the family foundation and didn’t fully disclose donors as promised. But the Trump Foundation flat out broke the law by making a political contribution (which may have been a bribe to avoid an investigation, but that’s another story). It’s also worth avoiding moral equivalence about the work of the two foundations: The Clinton Foundation saves lives around the world from AIDS and malnutrition, while the Trump Foundation used its resources to buy — yes! — a large painting of Trump, as a gift for Trump (that may violate IRS rules as well). The latest dust-up has been health care. Neither candidate has been very open about health, but Clinton has produced much more detailed medical records than Trump, and an actuarial firm told The Washington Post Fact Checker that Clinton has a 5.9 percent chance of dying by the end of a second term in office, while Trump would have a 8.4 percent chance. So I wonder if journalistic efforts at fairness don’t risk normalizing Trump, without fully acknowledging what an abnormal candidate he is. Historically we in the news media have sometimes fallen into the traps of glib narratives or false equivalencies, and we should try hard to ensure that doesn’t happen again. We should be guard dogs, not lap dogs, and when the public sees Trump as more honest than Clinton, something has gone wrong. For my part, I’ve never met a national politician as ill informed, as deceptive, as evasive and as vacuous as Trump. He’s not normal. And somehow that is what our barks need to convey.

Congenital liar

n 1996, The New York Times columnist William Safire diagnosed Hillary Clinton’s real problem. He called her a “congenital liar.” Congenital is defined as “having by nature a specified character.” Following Hillary Clinton’s health scare Sunday in New York, we may have reached the conclusion author Mary McCarthy did when speaking of playwright Lillian Hellman: “Every word (Hellman) writes is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the’.” A person’s character is a clue to the entire person and both Clintons have displayed over many years severe character deficiencies. Abraham Lincoln said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” Or her. Hillary Clinton has had power as first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state, now she wants to achieve the ultimate in power, the presidency of the United States. Along this road we have seen her record and it is a trail of cover-ups, misstate-

said she released all of them. This was not the truth. This is the challenge when it comes to character. Think of people you know who have consistently lied to you. Would you trust them to pay back a loan? Would you let them babysit your kids? Would you trust them as president of the United States? Some Democrats are becoming increasingly concerned about Hillary Clinton’s health and credibility. Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Don Fowler wants the DNC to identify a potential backup candidate should Hillary Clinton be forced to leave the race. Fowler told Politico, “Now is the time for all good political leaders to come to the aid of their party,” adding, “the plan should be developed by 6 o’clock this afternoon.” The hour for such a decision may be long past six o’clock. For the Democrats, for Hillary Clinton and for the coming election less than 60 days away, it may be approaching midnight. Email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com.

cover all that was being said (see also: spoon-fed) to the public when House Republicans met with their party’s vice presidential nominee, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who then repeated his team’s campaign ohm about the need to “revive the American economy” and that “This literally is a choice between whether we’re going to continue to go downhill to a weaker America at home and abroad.” But wait: Over at the U.S. Census Bureau, the green eyeshade bureaucrats had released “Report Number: P50-256” (Zzzzz _ READERS WAKE UP!).

The 5.2 percent increase in median household incomes was “the largest single-year increase since record-keeping began in 1967.” But wait until Hell freezes over: Throughout the day and night, television news gave scant first-day coverage to this major news story. Cable news gave it slight mention — without the visual graphics TV ought to provide. When they mentioned the economic news at all, it was mainly just as a new way of having political pundit panels gab about the sameold campaign game-strategies. If you aren’t in the habit of reading The Washington Post or New York Times, you may have missed the story entirely. It’s enough to make us all ask in frustration: Can’t anybody here play this game? martin.schram@gmail.com

Bombing at mosque in Pakistan kills 14 KHAR, Pakistan (AP) — A government official says a suicide bombing in a mosque in northwest Pakistan killed at least 14 worshippers and wounded 25 others. Government administrator Naveed Akbar said the attack took place today in the village of Ambar in Pakistan’s Mohmand tribal region. He says rescuers transported the dead and wounded to nearby hospitals. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. The region was considered a stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban until 2014 when the military launched a major operation in Pakistan’s tribal regions bordering Afghanistan, evicting and killing large numbers of insurgents. But violence has continued in some of the tribal regions.

Feds issue recall on Galaxy phone By SU HYUN LEE

New York Times News Service

SEOUL, South Korea — It was supposed to be an enormous — but quick — recall. Samsung Electronics of South Korea said two weeks ago that it would recall 2.5 million units of its new high-end smartphone, the Galaxy Note7, just days after some customers said their phones had caught fire. The recall is the largest in the history of the smartphone industry, but it won

Samsung praise from some in the mobile industry for the company’s speed and decisiveness. Today, the recall looks anything but smooth. Safety regulators in the United States have issued warnings in recent days cautioning consumers not to turn on their Note7s on airplanes — and not to use their phones at all. South Korea’s flight regulator, in a reversal, followed suit, as have others around the world. The constant reminders

of potential combustibility have further dented Samsung’s reputation and shaved as much as $14 billion off its market value, just when it looked to be gaining ground on Apple, its longtime rival, with its new line of sleek Galaxy smartphones. They also raise questions about whether Samsung’s rush to take back the phones created more problems. Experts say it led to a ham-handed effort that confused customers, frustrated regulators and con-

tinued to generate headlines both in the United States and at home. Data from the mobile analytics firm Apteligent showed that while Samsung’s recall appeared to have stopped new sales of the phone, a majority of people who had the affected phones were continuing to use them. A Samsung spokeswoman declined to comment on its discussions with regulators, pointing only to a company statement that said it was working with the Consumer

Suspect confesses to mosque fire FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — An ex-convict who posted anti-Islamic rants online confessed to setting fire to a mosque that the Orlando nightclub shooter occasionally attended, and said he was embarrassed by the crime, according to an arrest affidavit released Thursday. St. Lucie County sheriff’s detectives wrote in the affidavit that after Joseph Michael Schreiber was arrested Wednesday, he told detectives that he had set the fire at the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce on Sunday. The blaze also coincided with the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha. Schreiber, 32, told detectives he never intended to hurt anyone. No one was injured in the fire, which burned a hole in the roof at the back of the mosque’s main building.

$1.9M deal reached in Texas jail death HOUSTON (AP) — A lawyer for the family of Sandra Bland, a black Chicago-area woman who died in a Texas jail after a contentious traffic stop last summer, said a $1.9 million settlement has been reached in the family’s wrongful death lawsuit. Attorney Cannon Lambert told Houston television station KTRK the settlement includes a provision that the Waller County Jail have a 24-hour nurse or emergency medical technician on duty. Authorities have said Bland killed herself three days after she was arrested for a minor traffic offense. Bland’s family later sued the county and the Texas Department of Public Safety. County officials, the sheriff’s office and their lawyer didn’t immediately return messages Thursday from The Associated Press. Bland’s sister also didn’t immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment.

Deutsche Bank says it won’t pay $14B Deutsche Bank AG said today it does not intend to pay $14 billion to settle civil claims with the U.S. Department of Justice for its handling of residential mortgage-backed securities and related transactions. The bank confirmed in a statement that the Justice Department had proposed a settlement of $14 billion and asked the German bank to make a counter proposal. Deutsche Bank is among many financial institutions investigated over dealings in shoddy mortgages in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis. The government has accused the banks of misleading investors about the quality of their loans.

Product Safety Commission in the United States. The commission said it was issuing a formal recall of about 1 million Galaxy Note7s sold before Thursday, urging people to contact their wireless carriers or to call Samsung for help. The recall is an embarrassing comedown for Samsung, an icon of South Korean innovation that accounts for one-fifth of the country’s exports. Its importance can lead to deference from regulators, experts say.

Generals urge lawmakers to avoid return to budget caps By RICHARD LARDNER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The four-star officers in charge of each U.S. military branch pleaded with lawmakers to find common ground and avoid the return of strict, acrossthe-board spending limits that increase the risk of sending inadequately trained and equipped troops into combat. Testifying Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee, the service chiefs are providing a stark appraisal of the impact of the automatic budget caps known in Washington-speak as sequestration. An agreement last year involving Republicans and Democrats provided temporary relief from sequestration, but the limits return in the 2018 budget year. In response to a question from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the committee chairman, all the service chiefs agreed they would not have the resources to defend the country if sequestration kicks in. Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, said the Navy faces a “triple whammy” that stems from tighter budgets, increased operational demands and persistent uncertainty about future money. Richardson described a problem that affects all the military branches: The length and regularity of deployments wear down warfighting gear more quickly,

which increases the repair workload and siphons money from other areas, such as modernization and training, to pay the bills. “The combination of these factors has resulted in (the) Navy incurring substantial readiness debt, just like carrying debt on a credit card,” Richardson told the committee. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley estimated the ground service needs four years to get its brigade combat teams up to roughly three-quarters of what he called “full spectrum” readiness. Milley said the Army is well-prepared to deal with the Islamic State group and other extremists. The risk comes in the event of a fullscale conflict against a country such as Russia, China, Iran or North Korea, Milley said, because training and equipment for these types of operations has atrophied over the past 15 years. “Sequestration will take the rug out from underneath us,” said Milley, who said the “ultimate sin” is to send unready troops into combat. The Senate is gridlocked over a $575 billion defense spending bill for the budget year that begins Oct. 1. Republicans and Democrats are bickering over money for domestic programs, including efforts to combat the Zika virus. Negotiations continue between the House and Senate for a separate bill that sets defense policy and approves

annual military spending levels. That legislation cannot actually allot the money the military needs to operate. For months, Republicans have hammered the White House and the Pentagon for failing to halt a decline in the military’s ability to respond to global threats that they say have worsened on President Obama’s watch. The House has voted to boost the defense budget in 2017 by shifting $18 billion in emergency wartime spending to replace aging gear with new ships, jet fighters, helicopters and more. To make up for the shortfall in the wartime account, Obama’s successor would submit a supplemental budget to Congress early next year. But Defense Secretary Ash Carter has criticized the House plan as a “road to nowhere” that actually degrades combat readiness by retaining troops and buying equipment that can’t be sustained without the certainty of future increases, effectively creating a hollowed out force. The Budget Control Act of 2011 set limits on how much could be spent on defense through 2021. Between 2011 and 2014, the Pentagon’s budget fell by more than $100 billion. Sequestration was triggered in 2013, forcing reductions that led to widespread concern the military services would be unprepared to fight the nation’s wars.

Census: Fewer people uninsured By REED ABELSON

New York Times News Service

Included among the many uplifting economic numbers released by the Census Bureau on Tuesday was a remarkable one about health insurance in the United States: Only 9.1 percent of Americans do not have coverage, the lowest level ever recorded by the agency. That figure is down from 13.3 percent in 2013, before the major provisions of the health care law signed by President Barack Obama went into effect. Another government study, released last week, looked at the first part of 2016 and found that the uninsured rate had fallen even further, to 8.6 percent. But the new numbers also highlight where the law is not working well — and how difficult it will be to drop the uninsured rate

much lower. Many states have continued to resist the Obama administration’s entreaties to expand their Medicaid coverage, leaving millions of poor Americans with no affordable health insurance options. And the marketplaces created under the law, in which middle-income people without insurance can buy policies, are struggling in states across the country. Some insurers are dropping out, and others are sharply raising prices. If the marketplaces do not stabilize, the drop in the uninsured rate could stall or even reverse. Adding to the uncertainty is the hazy future of the health care law. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have vowed to repeal it if they get the chance. The Affordable Care Act was not

intended to cover everyone, the way single-payer systems in many other countries do. And because the system requires people to actively sign up for insurance and often pay a premium, there will always be some Americans too independent — or isolated — to seek insurance. But the law was certainly written to get insurance to far more people. The Medicaid expansion, for example, is meant to expand coverage to all Americans earning below a set income threshold — about $16,000 for a single person. Adoption of the program has been substantial. But the Supreme Court dealt a major blow to that plan in 2012. The court determined that states could decide whether to expand, and 19 have still declined to do so.

WASHINGTON — Fearing an embarrassing spectacle — or a defeat — eight weeks before Election Day, House conservatives and the leaders of the House Judiciary Committee agreed to call off a vote Thursday to impeach the Internal Revenue Service commissioner in exchange for formal impeachment hearings next week before the committee. The last-minute deal struck Wednesday night may merely postpone the unprecedented step of formally accusing John A. Koskinen, 77, the head of the IRS, of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Never before has an executive branch official below the cabinet rank been impeached, and not even a cabinet member has faced such proceedings in 140 years. But Republican leaders, in the House and the Senate, had made it clear they did not want such a distraction before the election.

JOHN KOSKINEN Under the Wednesday night deal, the Judiciary Committee will convene official hearings next Wednesday and allow Koskinen to defend himself under oath, traditionally the next steps in the impeachment process. Koskinen has signaled that he will cooperate with the proceedings. In a letter to top members of the committee last week, his lawyers wrote that Koskinen “has been and is willing to participate in this committee’s traditional process for investigating the potential impeachment of executive branch officials,” including testifying under oath. The accusations against Koskinen stem from revelations in 2013 that IRS officials had singled out a number of organizations — hundreds of them tea party-affiliated groups — for additional scrutiny before granting them tax-exempt status. The agency apologized, and a Justice Department investigation ultimately uncovered evidence of “poor judgment,” among other systemic problems, but not criminal activity. But Koskinen was not in government at that time, let alone the head of the IRS. He became the nation’s top tax collector at the end of 2013. Some Republicans say Koskinen lied to Congress in early 2014 when he promised to turn over emails sent and received by Lois Lerner, a senior IRS official from 2009 to 2010, when some conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status were unfairly scrutinized. Some of the emails were inadvertently destroyed, Koskinen said later, asserting that he had testified to the best of his knowledge at that time.

Memories of awful boyfriend continue to linger

DEAR ABBY

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

DEAR ABBY: Years ago, I dated an awful guy. He possessed just about every negative quality you could imagine. I dated him anyway because I was immature, depressed and lonely. Since we broke up and I got my mental health back on track, my life has been wonderful. I keep moving up and forward in life. I hear through the grapevine that his life, on the other hand, is in shambles. I blame myself for wasting the time I did with him. Sometimes when he pops into my head I get sick to my stomach. I’m afraid he might come back into my life and harm me because he blames me for

his miserable life and bad choices. How do you remove such a negative person from your memory? Is it possible to forget — especially when you want to? — ANNOYED IN TEXAS DEAR ANNOYED: Your experiences have made you the person you are, and at this point in your life, you have made yourself successful and happy. Congratulations for that. Now it’s time to stop listening to news about your exboyfriend through the grapevine. When friends bring him up, tell them you aren’t interested. If he lives nearby, frequents the same places you do and

has threatened you, talk to law enforcement or move. Give it time; time has a way of healing. It’s important that you continue getting on with your life. You may find fears will dissipate once you find a new significant other. DEAR ABBY: I’m someone who’s been chronically hot for as long as I can remember. In winter, I usually wear lighter clothes than most people so I can be comfortable. Unfortunately, complete strangers feel compelled to ask several times a day, “Aren’t you cold?” or say, “You’re crazy for dressing that way!” I don’t feel I should have to justify my wardrobe, and I think calling someone crazy is out of line. I have pointed

out to some people that how I dress is none of their business, at which point they take offense. (One guy even told me to “shove it where the sun don’t shine.”) I don’t think my response was inappropriate considering that they were the ones judging me. I’m the one who should have been upset. What can I say to these judgmental people without justifying myself and without evoking an angry response? — NOT CRAZY, JUST COMFORTABLE DEAR NOT CRAZY: Most people are curious when they see something “different.” Wearing lightweight clothing in the dead of winter qualifies as different. If you are asked, all you

need to say is that your body temperature runs hotter than most people’s, and you are perfectly comfortable. Period. DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine died recently. My question is, how much time should I wait before asking his widow if she saved his hearing aids from the crematorium and if so, could I have them? — CHEAP MINNESOTAN DEAR MINNESOTAN: You didn’t mention how long ago your friend died, but if it was yesterday, give the widow a week or two to recover from the shock of her loss. I say this because if you wait too long, somebody else may grab them, but if you ask too soon, she may give you an earful.

went on the first untethered spacewalk in 10 years. In 2007, O.J. Simpson was arrested in the alleged armed robbery of sports memorabilia collectors in Las Vegas. (Simpson was later convicted of kidnapping and armed robbery and sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison.) Ten years ago: The Vatican said Pope Benedict XVI “sincerely” regretted offending Muslims with his reference to an obscure medieval text characterizing some of the teachings of Islam’s founder as “evil and inhuman,” but the statement stopped short of the apology demanded by Islamic leaders. Mexico extradited accused drug kingpin Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix to the U.S. (Arellano Felix later pleaded guilty to federal charges of selling cocaine in a San Diego motel and was sentenced to six years in prison, but was returned to

Mexico in 2008 after getting credit for time served in Mexico while awaiting extradition; he was killed in October 2013 by a gunman disguised as a clown.) Five years ago: President Barack Obama signed into law a major overhaul of the nation’s patent system to ease the way for inventors to bring their products to market. A World War II-era fighter plane plunged into spectators during air races in Reno, Nev., killing 74year-old Florida stunt pilot Jimmy Leeward and 10 others. A Russian Soyuz capsule carrying three crew members, including NASA astronaut Ron Garan, from the International Space Station touched down safely in Kazakhstan, but not without rattling nerves after a breakdown in communications.

Today is Friday, Sept. 16, the 260th day of 2016. There are 106 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 16, 1966, the Metropolitan Opera officially opened its new opera house at New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts with the world premiere of Samuel Barber’s “Antony and Cleopatra.” On this date: In 1498, Tomas de Torquemada, notorious for his role in the Spanish Inquisition, died in Avila, Spain. In 1810, Mexicans were inspired to begin their successful revolt against Spanish rule by Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla and his “Grito de Dolores (Cry of Dolores).” In 1893, more than 100,000 settlers swarmed onto a section of land in Oklahoma known as the “Cherokee Strip.” In 1908, General Motors was founded in Flint, Mich., by William C. Durant. In 1919, the American Legion received a national charter from Congress. In 1925, the Irving Berlin song “Always” (written for his future wife, Ellin Mackay) was published. In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Selective Training and Service Act. Samuel T. Rayburn of Texas was elected Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1953, “The Robe,” the first movie presented in the widescreen process CinemaScope, had its world premiere at the Roxy Theater in New York. In 1976, the Episcopal Church, at its General Convention in Minneapolis, formally approved the ordination of women as priests and bishops. In 1982, the massacre of between 1,200 and 1,400 Palestinian men, women and children at the hands of Israeli-allied Christian Phalange militiamen began in west Beirut’s Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. In 1994, a federal jury in Anchorage, Alaska, ordered Exxon Corp. to pay $5 billion in punitive damages for the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (the U.S Supreme Court later reduced that amount to $507.5 million).

TV writer offers predictions for Emmy Awards By LYNN ELBER

sprawling cast, but he escaped Emmy notice until Snow died and then rose to fight again. That deserves a trophy, at least. Will win: Harington. Voters will bow down before the King in the North.

AP Television Writer

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Please excuse the excuses, but my Emmy predictions are resting uneasily on shifting ground. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game of Thronesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veepâ&#x20AC;? will repeat as best drama and comedy series. And that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m equally but regrettably sure there will be no â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Americansâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;black-ishâ&#x20AC;? upsets. And I am. Sort of. The reason for the caginess: This year, the TV academy ditched a consensus approach in which nominees in each category were ranked on points to determine the winner. Instead, voters now check off their top choice and the one with the most votes wins. That change comes atop a 2015 decision to increase the voting pool beyond small blue-ribbon panels to include more academy members. Will the two revisions combine for big surprises Sunday when the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards air at 8 p.m. on ABC with host Jimmy Kimmel? Got me. But here are my best guesses and wish list for victors in the glamour categories.

DRAMA SERIES Should win: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game of Thrones.â&#x20AC;? The battles, the bravery, the betrayal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there and grippingly cinematic as â&#x20AC;&#x153;GOTâ&#x20AC;? winds its way through George R.R. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s astounding kingdom. Will win: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game of

SUPPORTING ACTRESS, DRAMA SERIES

RICH FURY/Invision

THE EMMY AWARDS will be presented at 8 p.m. Sunday. Thrones.â&#x20AC;? Last year, it (bloodlessly!) wrested the top drama award from Emmy voters typically reluctant to reward fantasy shows. Expect it to conquer again.

COMEDY SERIES Should win: â&#x20AC;&#x153;black-ish.â&#x20AC;? Old-school sitcom excellence meets new-school awareness. Can punch lines mesh effectively with troubling social issues? No sweat for creator Kenya Barris and the cast. Will win: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veep.â&#x20AC;? The viciously funny series was crowned in the category last year and, in a rollicking real-world election season that barely exceeds the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satire, voters will give it a second term.

ACTOR, DRAMA SERIES Should win: Matthew Rhys, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Americans.â&#x20AC;? He exemplifies the British acting craft in a moving, nuanced performance that commands our attention.

Will win: Buzzed-about star Rami Malek of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Robotâ&#x20AC;? could benefit from the expanded voting. But our ballot is marked for Kevin Spacey of â&#x20AC;&#x153;House of Cardsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fourth Emmy bidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the charm for this Oscar winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supremely villainous politico.

ACTRESS, DRAMA SERIES

Should win: Lena Headey. Her wrenching portrayal of Cersei Lannister stumbling through her debasing â&#x20AC;&#x153;walk of shameâ&#x20AC;? in Season 5 inexplicably failed to bring her a trophy, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past time for voters to redeem themselves. Will win: Headey. Her third â&#x20AC;&#x153;GOTâ&#x20AC;? nomination comes with Cersei back on top and Headey continuing to deepen her portrayal of the most darkly complex female character on TV. Voters will see the light â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or else.

ACTOR, COMEDY SERIES

Should win: Viola Davis, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Get Away with Murder.â&#x20AC;? She lets it rip every which way as a brilliant, sexy, flawed law professor. This stellar actress is always magnetic. Will win: Davis. She made history last year as the first African-American winner in the category and voters will reinforce their admiration with a second trophy.

SUPPORTING ACTOR, DRAMA SERIES Should win: Kit Harington, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game of Thrones.â&#x20AC;? His valiant Jon Snow has been a consistent standout in a

Should win: Jeffrey Tambor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transparent.â&#x20AC;? It took an extraordinary role to give this journeyman actor the recognition due him. Without precedent for playing the slowly unfolding life of a transgender character, Tambor has traveled the path faultlessly. Will win: Tambor, taking his second Emmy for the role because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a class by himself.

Indiana Mall

Cinemas Fri. 9/16 thru Wed. 9/21

ACTRESS, COMEDY SERIES Should win: Tracee Ellis Ross, â&#x20AC;&#x153;black-ish.â&#x20AC;? The comic timing, the rubberfaced expressions evocative of Lucille Ball and her fresh rendition of a modern working mother make her Emmy worthy. Maybe next year? Will win: Julia LouisDreyfus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veep.â&#x20AC;? The impeccably deft comic actress has owned this category since 2012 with her portrayal of vice president-to-president Selina Meyer. She may have to bow out of contention, a la Candice Bergen in the 1990s for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Murphy Brown,â&#x20AC;? to stop winning.

SUPPORTING ACTOR, COMEDY SERIES Should win: Louie Anderson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baskets.â&#x20AC;? An actor

playing a woman whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not transgender sounds old hat. But Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toneperfect work makes this equally groundbreaking: The right actor, gender aside, got the role. Will win: Tony Hale, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veep.â&#x20AC;? He plays presidential assistant Gary Walsh with neurotic, clueless perfection and, after two wins for the role, has no reason to be nervous about a third trophy.

SUPPORTING ACTRESS, COMEDY SERIES Should win: Allison Janney, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom.â&#x20AC;? Because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a treasure, an actress who grounds even the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silliest moments and brings humanity and grace to its darker ones. Will win: Janney. See above. And Emmy voters know it.

THE FORMER Delpra’s Cut Rate Sundries, drug store and restaurant in Plumville (shown above in September 2007) has been demolished to make room for new business developments in the borough near Routes 85 and 954. A house was also torn down and two garages will be demolished. Plumville Borough Secretary John Anthony said today the borough council has not received any formal plans for new businesses at the site.

Clinton returns; Trump offers tax plan Continued from Page 1 ness should pay more than 15 percent of its income in taxes, down from the current 35 percent top corporate tax rate. Few businesses now pay the full 35 percent rate, however, taking advantage instead of many deductions allowed under the existing tax code Amid questions about both candidates’ openness regarding their health, Trump, 70, released a new letter from his doctor detailing his blood pressure, cholesterol and medications. That came a day after Clinton made public a letter from her physician with similar information. Both candidates’ doctors declared them fit to serve as president. Trump’s letter said the Republican is 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds — giving him a body mass index falling into the “overweight” range. He has blood pressure of 116 over 70, and his total cholesterol is 169, his doctor says. Clinton, 68, has blood pressure of 100 over 70, and her total cholesterol is 189, according to her doctor. Her letter made no mention of her weight, a key part of a medical exam; nor did a similar letter released last year. Until Thursday, the only information on Trump’s health had

come in a widely ridiculed letter from his doctor declaring he would be the healthiest person to ever serve as president. Before releasing the new details to the public, Trump turned over a copy to Dr. Mehmet Oz while taping an episode of Oz’s TV show. Meanwhile on Thursday, more questions arose over Trump’s involvement in an improper political contribution. Trump’s signature was scrawled on the improper $25,000 check sent from his personal foundation to a political committee supporting Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Charities are barred from engaging in political activities, and the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign has contended for weeks that the 2013 check from the Donald J. Trump Foundation was mistakenly issued following a series of clerical errors. Trump had intended to use personal funds to support Bondi’s re-election, his campaign said. Trump lawyer Alan Garten offered new details about the transaction Thursday, after a copy of the Sept. 9, 2013, check was released by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Garten said the billionaire busi-

nessman personally signs hundreds of checks a week, and that he simply didn’t catch the error. “He traditionally signs a lot of checks,” said Garten, who serves as in-house counsel for various business interests at Trump Tower in New York City. “It’s a way for him to monitor and keep control over what’s going on in the company. It’s just his way. ... I’ve personally been in his office numerous times and seen a big stack of checks on his desk for him to sign.” The 2013 donation to Bondi’s political group has garnered intense scrutiny because her office was at the time fielding media questions about whether she would follow the lead of Schneiderman, who had then filed a lawsuit against Trump University and Trump Institute. Scores of former students say they were scammed by Trump’s namesake get-rich-quick seminars in real estate. Bondi, whom the AP reported in June personally solicited the $25,000 check from Trump, took no action. Both Bondi and Trump say their conversation had nothing to do with the Trump University litigation, though neither has answered questions about what they did dis-

cuss or provided the exact date the conversation occurred. House Democrats called earlier this week for a federal criminal investigation into the donation, suggesting Trump was trying to bribe Bondi with the charity check. Schneiderman, a Democrat, said he was already investigating to determine whether Trump’s charity broke state laws. Garten said the series of errors began after Trump instructed his staff to cut a $25,000 check to the political committee supporting Bondi, called And Justice for All. Someone in Trump’s accounting department then consulted a master list of charitable organizations maintained by the IRS and saw a Utah charity by the same name that provides legal aid to the poor. According to Garten, that person, whom he declined to identify by name, then independently decided that the check should come from the Trump Foundation account rather than Trump’s personal funds. The check was then printed and returned for Trump’s signature. After it was signed, Garten said, Trump’s office staff mailed the check to its intended recipient in Florida, rather than to the charity in Utah.

Trump tries to put ‘birther’ issue behind him By JILL COLVIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump himself won’t say it, but his campaign is now declaring that the Republican presidential candidate believes that President Barack Obama was born in the United States. And his campaign is cheering Trump for bringing an end to an “ugly incident” that it blames, without evidence, on Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. For many years, Trump was the most prominent proponent of the

“birther” movement, which claimed Obama was born outside the U.S. and thus ineligible to be president — despite the fact that he was born in Hawaii. As recently as Thursday, Trump would not acknowledge Obama’s birthplace, declining to address the matter when asked by The Washington Post. “I’ll answer that question at the right time,” Trump told the paper. “I just don’t want to answer it yet.” Clinton seized on Trump’s refusal during a speech Thursday night before the Congressional

Tractor show opens Saturday The Smicksburg Antique Tractor and Machinery Club’s third annual tractor and implement show will be held Saturday and Sunday at the Dayton Fairgrounds, beginning both days at 8 a.m. Registration of tractors will also begin at 8 a.m. This year’s featured tractor will be John Deere. There will be tractor games, a kids’ pedal tractor pull and an antique tractor pull and a garden tractor pull, both starting at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Also on the show field will be semi- and tractor-trailer trucks, hit-and-miss engines, agricultural memorabilia and antique farm equipment. There will also be a vendors’ flea market, a silent auction, a kids’ railroad train to ride and music by a disc jockey. Admission is free.

Hispanic Caucus Institute. “He was asked one more time where was President Obama born and he still wouldn’t say Hawaii. He still wouldn’t say America,” Clinton said. “This man wants to be our next president? When will he stop this ugliness, this bigotry?” The answer to her question came hours later when campaign spokesman Jason Miller issued a statement that suggested the question had been settled five years ago — by Trump. “In 2011, Mr. Trump was finally able to bring this ugly incident to

its conclusion by successfully compelling President Obama to release his birth certificate,” Miller said. “Mr. Trump did a great service to the president and the country by bringing closure to the issue that Hillary Clinton and her team first raised,” he added. “Inarguably, Donald J. Trump is a closer. Having successfully obtained President Obama’s birth certificate when others could not, Mr. Trump believes that President Obama was born in the United States.”

Man pleads guilty Continued from Page 1 when the girl’s mother saw him grab the teenager’s arm and yell at her one day in the kitchen. The woman told police she didn’t know Patterson had assaulted her daughter. Troopers at the Punxsutawney station charged in a separate complaint that Patterson brought a 24year-old woman to live with him in his father’s residence along Glenwood Avenue, and impregnated her in late 2015. The woman told police that she suffered painful complications of

the pregnancy and declined to have sex with Patterson, but that he grew impatient with her refusals and forcibly assaulted her twice in late January. Investigators reported in the complaint that Patterson admitted the assaults and apologized to the woman in text messages that she kept on her cellphone. Troopers filed the charges against Patterson in April in Clymer District Court. Patterson has been lodged at the Indiana County Jail since April 6 with bond set at $70,000.

Randy Thomas and Daniel Christy from Citizens’ Ambulance Service and Overman are set to speak at 10:25 a.m. The county’s district attorney, Patrick Dougherty, and David Rostis, the county’s chief detective and Indiana County Drug Force Task supervisor, will present at 11 a.m. Kami Anderson, executive director of the Armstrong-Indiana-Clarion Drug and Alcohol Commission, will be part of a discussion with Pam Gehlmann, executive director of Alliance Medical Services, and Louis Wagner Jr., executive director of Spirit Life — a residential substance-abuse treatment center — at 11:25 a.m. Since 2014, the agency has conducted 10 such hearings on the drug epidemic. “This meeting will create public awareness and public involvement in regards to the opioid crisis we are in at this time,” Overman said Thursday. “It allows the elected officials to see and understand how widespread the opioid crisis is and how it is affecting every citizen in rural communities. “The meetings will help to create better collaboration among agencies which can assist with solutions to better manage or control the substance addiction.” A report issued in July by the Drug Enforcement Administration said more than 3,300 people died from an overdose in Pennsylvania in 2015, a 23.4 percent increase in the total number of overdose deaths from 2014. Information being collected this year will most likely point to an increase in overdose deaths for 2016. The continuing increase in drug-related overdose deaths certainly confirms a clear and present crisis for our state’s law enforcement, public health agencies and educators to combat drug availability, provide drug treatment and promote drug education, according to a press release issued by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania.

Airing It Out Cincinnati-Pittsburgh features a matchup of dynamic duos

TORONTO — When Sidney Crosby first stepped onto the international stage, Team Canada fell flat. It was 13 years ago in the summer of 2003 and Crosby had just turned 16. He was by far the youngest player on an under-18 squad shooting for an eighth consecutive gold medal at the junior World Cup. Canada finished a distant fourth, trounced 8-2 by the hometown Czechs in the bronzemedal game. It was by no means a preview of what was to come for Crosby on the world stage. He has won nearly every-

thing there is to win while wearing the Maple Leaf — except the World Cup of Hockey, which he will play in for the first time later this week. He has won two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Crosby has come up golden at the world juniors, world championships and twice at the Olympics. “I feel like every time you put on a Team Canada jersey, you’re representing your country, there’s a lot of pride that comes with that,” Crosby said Thursday at World Cup media day. His “golden goal” at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver stands as one of the most impactful goals in the

country’s history. Indeed, Crosby has met expectations on the international stage, despite the bright spotlight and increased pressure that comes with being the most hyped player of his generation. “For Sid and a lot of these kids coming up, they have a little bit of an unfair target on their back at all times,” said Ryan Getzlaf, his frequent teammate with Canada. “People expect so much out of them on a daily basis that they forget that they’re still players and they’re still humans. It’s part of the role, I guess, that he’s taken on his back and he’s done a great job with it.” Continued on Page 13

CINCINNATI — When the game’s on the line, Bengals and Steelers fans know where the ball’s most likely going. Both teams have dynamic duos with years of experience making the gameturning, highlight-reel plays. For the Bengals, it’s Andy Dalton and A.J. Green. For the Steelers, it’s Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown. In their season openers, the duos were at their dynamic best. Green had 12 catches for 180 yards and a touchdown during Cincinnati’s 23-22 win at the Jets. Brown had eight catches for 126 yards and two touchdowns in Pittsburgh’s 38-16 win at Washington. They’ll share the stage Sunday in Pittsburgh, where both defenses know what it’s all about: stopping those two. “First off, Ben and I both have really talented receivers,” said Dalton, who came into the NFL with Green in 2011. “And then it just comes with time. I’ve been with A.J. my whole career, he’s been with Antonio for seven years now. So it’s just part of the chemistry and building it. When you’ve got talented players, you get that chemistry. When you’re both trying to be good at

That’s when the two get creative and use an instinct developed during many hours of practice. “You put in a lot of time and a lot of hard work, a lot of film, a lot of communication,” Brown said. “We’re always looking to get better. We never dwell on what we did in the past.” Brown has caught 375 passes in the past three seasons, an NFL record for a three-year span. “He’s just got a motor,” Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. “You rarely see him tired. I’ve played him for five years, and I’ve never seen him bent over or nothing like that. That shows you what type of shape he’s in and what condition he has. I just feel like the guy is a great player.” Brown was in the middle of the ugly ending to the teams’ playoff game at Paul Continued on Page 13

PHILADELPHIA — Chad Kuhl’s fan club brought the noise. Andrew McCutchen and his teammates brought the bats. McCutchen hit two of Pittsburgh’s five home runs, Kuhl pitched six effective innings and the Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies 15-2 Thursday night. Jordy Mercer hit a three-run homer that broke the game open, and John Jaso and Sean Rodriguez also went deep to help the Pirates split a fourgame series. Kuhl (4-3) allowed two runs and four hits, striking out five. He retired the first 12 batters before Tommy Joseph lined a double to right-center in the fifth.

Retiring Stewart takes spotlight By MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHICAGO — Tony Stewart’s complex personality was on display at media day for NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Stewart was laughing, telling stories of fellow driver Chase Elliott when he was little and gushing over how much fun he’s having in his last season before retirement. Stewart also snapped at questions he didn’t like and declared it “doesn’t matter” if the drivers he has wrecked in the past two weeks seek payback over the final 10 races. “It’s time for the Chase now. It’s a whole different mindset and a whole different approach each week,” Stewart said Thursday. “We’ve got to go out and worry about what we need to do win a championship, not worry about the other stuff.” That other stuff is wrecking rookie Brian Scott two weeks ago and then former teammate Ryan Newman last week, ending Newman’s slim chances of making the 16-driver Chase field.

Newman blasted Stewart after the race Saturday night at Richmond, calling him “bipolar” and bringing up the 2014 incident in which Stewart fatally struck a sprint car driver. “I guess he thought he was in a sprint car again and didn’t know how to control his anger,” Newman said. Stewart said he’s yet to talk to Newman since, but they’re expected to have a NASCARmandated chat before practice Friday at Chicagoland Speedway. “It would be easier to take it personal, but that was the deciding factor in his season whether he was going to make the Chase or not,” Stewart said. “We’ve been friends a long time and we were teammates, so I respect him a lot. It’s a highpressure moment and I’ve been in those, too, and I’ve said things. “Whether he meant to say it or not or whether he still believes it or not, that’s up to him. But that moment is a hard moment for any of us. It’s tough in that scenario, so I can’t blame him.” Stewart then chided a reporter for suggesting the Continued on Page 15

Indians suffer hard-fought loss By DUSTIN FILLOY

With a seasoned coach on its side, even a winless team like Indiana could chalk up an overtime loss to its section frontrunner as a positive experience. While exhausted, the Indians showed coach Todd Myers the sense of urgency he demanded of them in overtime, and for that, the 23rd-year coach didn’t consider a 1-0 loss Thursday to WPIAL Section 1-AAA opponent Mars a setback. “I wouldn’t call this a disappointing performance. Those just aren’t the right words to describe the match,” Myers said. “My guys played out of their minds tonight and they did a great job. Just looking at their faces when that goal in overtime was scored and I could tell none of them were physically upset about it. They knew they had just pushed one of the better teams in Triple-A to the brink, and because we’ve been struggling all year, a match like that proves to these guys are heading in the right direction. They know now that

Just What They Needed

Crimson Hawks have a chance to work on themselves By MATTHEW BURGLUND

mburglund@indianagazette.net

Maybe this is exactly what the IUP Crimson Hawks need right now. A week after a 31-point win that showed their strengths and revealed some weaknesses, the Crimson Hawks take on a team that probably won’t provide much of a test. Instead, IUP will have the chance to work on some things to improve after Saturday’s season-opening win. “This week’s all about us,” IUP coach Curt Cignetti said Monday during his weekly show on IUP-TV. What Cignetti means is that the Crimson Hawks didn’t spend this week necessarily preparing for what Cheyney will try to do on Saturday. Instead, IUP worked on what it can do to get better after last week’s surprising 73-42 thrashing of East Stroudsburg. “This game is all about our standards,” Cignetti said. “Our biggest opponent we have this week is the person looking in the mirror. We have to have good practices. We need to improve.” The idea of an improved IUP team might be too much for Cheyney (1-1) to take. The Wolves are traditionally one of the worst teams in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference — they haven’t had a winning season since 1979, after all — and No. 9ranked IUP (1-0) is coming off a record-setting win in which the Crimson Hawks

rolled up an astonishing 789 yards of offense, the second-most in PSAC history. The Wolves, on the other hand, took a 793 beating at the hands of California last week. The score was 72-3 midway through the third quarter, and if the visiting Vulcans hadn’t slowed down the pace, they might have scored 100 points. California gained 518 yards vs. Cheyney and allowed only 168. The Wolves punted nine times and crossed midfield only four times. So it’s not like IUP is taking on a juggernaut of an offense that will test the defense this week. And maybe that’s what the Crimson Hawks need. Against East Stroudsburg, IUP allowed 497 yards of offense and 42 points, and both numbers are shockingly high. Some of the Crimson Hawks’ struggles on defense were understandable. The Warriors traditionally have one of the top offenses in the PSAC, and IUP was forced to use several freshmen because of injuries. So the question this week is this: Do IUP’s struggles on defense matter much if the Crimson Hawks are so capable on offense? Against East Stroudsburg, IUP scored 10 touchdowns and a field goal on its 15 possessions, and the Cheyney defense doesn’t appear — on paper, at least — to be any more capable of slowing down IUP quarterback Lenny Williams and Co. But Cignetti knows he can’t just assume

his offense will be as prolific this week as it was last week. That game at East Stroudsburg might turn out to be a mirage of sorts, but it was quite a way to start the season. “I don’t think we can always count on scoring points like we did Saturday,” Cignetti said, “but it’s a good position to be in.” But this week, the Crimson Hawks have the opportunity to get some things straightened out against a struggling Cheyney team that, had it not been for its non-conference overtime win against Lincoln in Week 1, would be entering this game having lost 45 games in a row. Instead, Cheyney has only a one-game losing streak, but has only one win in the past four seasons. “There’s still some improvements to be made,” Cignetti said. “We still have a ways to go. The numbers may not say that, but every week is a different challenge, a different scheme, a different matchup. So we’ve got to continue to improve.” NOTES: Offensive tackle Ethan Cooper left Saturday’s game with a finger injury, and linebacker Kevin Clarke (hamstring) did not play. Both are listed as probable starters on this week’s depth chart. … Williams leads NCAA Division II in total offense, at 465.0 yards per game. He’s second in passing efficiency (257.6). … Wide receiver Walt Pegues leads the nation in receptions (12.0) and receiving yards (195.0) per game.

INSIDE THE GAME Storyline — The Crimson Hawks take to the road for the second of three consecutive away games to start the season and visit Cheyney in a PSAC crossover game. Last week, IUP drubbed host East Stroudsburg, 73-42, and set several records on offense. Cheyney lost to California, 79-3, in its home opener. Broadcast — Radio: WQMU-FM 92.5 and u92radio.com. The coaches — IUP: Curt Cignetti (sixth season, 44-15). Cheyney: Chris Roulhac (fifth season, 4-41-1). Cignetti is 3-0 vs. Cheyney; Roulhac is 0-3 vs. IUP. The series — IUP leads, 7-0. The Wolves have not scored a single point in their three games vs. the Crimson Hawks since Cignetti took over. IUP has outscored Cheyney 167-0 in those three games, including 62-0 last season. Last meeting — Luigi Lista-Brinza rushed for three touchdowns, Lenny Williams ran for two, and Drew Harris had one as the host Crimson Hawks jumped out to a 41-0 halftime lead en route to a 62-0 win on Nov. 14, 2015. Devin Altland caught a touchdown pass, and Allen Wright ran back an INT and a blocked punt for scores.

Crosby leads Team Canada Continued from Page 11 Crosby was again the youngest player for Canada when he helped the team win silver at the 2004 world junior championships. A year later, on a loaded squad that included Getzlaf, Shea Weber and Patrice Bergeron, among others, the Canadians emerged with gold, trouncing Russia 6-1. Crosby had a team-leading eight goals and 16 points in only nine games at the 2006 world championships, but the Canadians finished fourth. Then came 2010 and that unforgettable moment at the Vancouver Olympics. Crosby’s overtime goal sank the U.S. in the final and handed Canada, under especially potent pressure on home soil, a satisfying victory. Crosby said he doesn’t think about the moment much, though it remains a “great memory.” While it may lack the significance of the Olympics, the World Cup is another chance at international glory on home turf for Canada. Crosby thinks home-ice advantage can help. “I think there’s always pressure, there’s always expectations (and) you may feel that a little bit more being at home,” Crosby said. “But I think it’s something you can definitely embrace and use to help you, too.”

If not statistically productive at the 2014 Olympics, Crosby still made a dent in Sochi. He was a mostly controlling force with the puck, scoring in the gold medal match against Sweden — a 3-0 win and second straight Olympic gold for Canada. Crosby flew to the Czech Republic for the 2015 world championships, where he helped Canada snap an eight-year gold-medal drought. Crosby mustered 11 points in nine games, including a goal and an assist in the final. “I think anytime I go on the ice I try to work hard and try to be at my best, but I think you know the circumstances in most of these events — it’s one game, it’s not a playoff series,” Crosby said. “I think with that kind of format it brings out the best in everyone and that desperation level’s probably at the highest it could be.” Next up is the World Cup, where Crosby will serve again as Team Canada’s captain and the biggest star among stars. “He always has the spotlight on him,” said John Tavares, picked first overall at the NHL draft four years after Crosby. “He’s obviously accomplished a lot and he’s very deserving of all of the accolades and then obviously a lot of the attention he gets as well. And he handles it extremely well, I think that’s what’s most impressive.”

Sports TOURNAMENT CHAMPS

Continued from Page 11 Brown Stadium last season. Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict hit him in the head after an incompletion, leaving Brown with a concussion. The personal foul helped move the Steelers in range for a last-minute field goal and an 18-16 victory. Brown had to miss the Steelers’ next playoff game, a loss to eventual Super Bowl champion Denver. He looked as good as ever in the opener. “After the play breaks down, he breaks off on the other side of the field and Ben sees him,” Kirkpatrick said. “Now, that’s a 20-yard gain, where you had him stopped if it was a normal play.” The Bengals’ duo gets it done a different way. Dalton gets rid of the ball quickly and looks to Green in the biggest moments, knowing that as long as he gets the ball near him he’s likely to come down with it. “My nickname for A.J. Green is Inspector Gadget,” Brown said, referring to his ability to make acrobatic catches. “He’s got those long arms, almost to his

knees. There’s no catch he can’t make. He always can change the outcome of a game with his big-play ability.” Dalton and Green form the most productive quarterback/receiver duo in NFL history for the first five seasons of a career. They had 395 completions for 5,789 yards, the most for any tandem in the first five seasons together. Their 40 touchdown connections are tied with Miami’s Dan Marino and Mark Clayton for the most to start a career. “From Day One, it starts with me and Andy,” Green said. NOTES: Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, but defensive coordinator Keith Butler was optimistic that Shazier will play. Wide receiver Markus Wheaton (shoulder) practiced for the second straight day and should make his season debut after sitting out the opener. ... The Bengals acquired rookie cornerback KeiVarae Russell off waivers from Kansas City and waived guard Trey Hopkins.

Indiana suffers hard-fought loss Continued from Page 11 hustled Mars in the early stages of the overtime period to create their first legitimate scoring chance and record their lone shot on goal. Indiana forward Evan Ray outran a defender along the right wing before stopping in the penalty area to boot a nifty shot over the goalkeeper’s right shoulder 1:49 into overtime. Ray’s shot caught the goalkeeper off guard but just missed its mark and caromed off the inside corner of the left goal post. Just 3:50 later, Ray outran another defender in the same area, but this time he drilled a shot a few feet to the left of the goal from 7 yards on what was Indiana’s last scoring opportunity. But just when it seemed that Indiana had built some much-needed momentum, Mars executed a hustle play that finished the match just 1:12 later. Zane Mundy tracked down a loose ball in the left corner of Indiana’s penalty box and chipped a crossing feed to Chris Check, who redirected the

pass with the inside of his left foot past Indiana goalie Matt Conjelko to end the match. “I honestly didn’t see that one coming,” Mars coach Chris Knauff said. “There were a lot of scoring chances from both teams, but we got a little halfchance opportunity and we happened to put one in. We’re just thrilled to get a win over a good team that played us really hard and really tough defensively.” Mars held a significant edge in time of possession in the first half, but like the Indians, the Planets couldn’t take advantage of their few corner kicks and they struggled inside the penalty box. “They just played really strong defensively and we had a hard time breaking them down,” Knauff said. “They have good, fast defenders, and they kept their shape and stayed organized.” Mars outshot Indiana, 81. Conjelko made seven saves. Indiana, which won a

share of the Section 1-AA title last year, fell to 0-4-2 overall and 0-2-1 in section play. “I don’t think that goal necessarily defines the match,” Myers said. “Yes, people are going to see we lost 1-0 to Mars, but we had them on their heels at times and we had opportunities to win the match, too.”

PIRATES PREVIEW

PITTSBURGH (71-74) vs. CINCINNATI (62-83)

ELISE AMENDOLA/Associated Press

THE RED SOX’S Hanley Ramirez got doused after hitting the game-winning homer against the Yankees on Thursday night.

Cubs clinch NL Central By The Associated Press

The Chicago Cubs won the NL Central, becoming the first major league team this season to clinch a division title. The Cubs lost 5-4 to the Milwaukee Brewers earlier Thursday night but captured their first NL Central crown since 2008 when San Francisco finished off a 6-2 victory over St. Louis. Wrigley Field was empty when Matt Adams made the final out on the West Coast, yet a loud cheer went up in the neighborhood around the iconic ballpark and several people honked their car horns. Chicago (93-53) wasted its opportunity to clinch on its own when pinchhitter Scooter Gennett delivered a tiebreaking, two-run double in the seventh inning for Milwaukee. Keon Broxton homered and Orlando Arcia drove in two runs for the Brewers. Jorge Soler hit a two-run homer for the Cubs. Justin Grimm (1-1) took the loss. Jimmy Nelson (8-14) won for the second time in his last 11 starts. Tyler Thornburg got four outs for his 10th save. GIANTS 6, CARDINALS 2: Fist-pumping Johnny Cueto pitched a five-hitter and retired his final 17 batters as San Francisco gained ground in the playoff race with a victory over St. Louis. Hunter Pence hit a two-run homer, Cueto (16-5) had a go-ahead sacrifice fly and Angel Pagan followed with an RBI single. Denard Span added a tworun single. The Giants gained a game on the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers, who are ahead by four after losing at Arizona. San Francisco also moved a game in front of the idle New York Mets and two up on the Cardinals in the chase for the two NL wild cards. Cueto struck out seven and walked one in his fifth complete game, tying Chris Sale of the White Sox for most in the majors. Cueto threw 105 pitches and beat Adam Wainwright (11-9) a day after the Giants were swept by San Diego in a lackluster three-game series. DIAMONDBACKS 7, DODGERS 3: Mitch Haniger hit a three-run homer in a five-run sixth inning, and Arizona beat the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. Archie Bradley (7-9) struck out seven in six-plus innings and got plenty of run support as the Diamondbacks won their fourth straight and handed starter Rich Hill (3-1) his first loss with the Dodgers. Los Angeles’ division lead was trimmed to four games when secondplace San Francisco beat St. Louis. Hill and Bradley shouted at each other after Hill bunted an inside pitch in the fifth. Both dugouts and bullpens emptied, but that was the extent of it. Hill, who was 9-3 with Oakland before being traded to Los Angeles on Aug. 1, allowed a run for the first time with the Dodgers when Kyle Jensen homered in the second. That ended Hill’s streak of 20 consecutive score-

less innings with Los Angeles. In his previous outing, Hill had a perfect game for seven innings against Miami on Saturday before being lifted because of concerns about a recurring blister. Brandon Drury set a Diamondbacks rookie record with an RBI in his seventh straight game. Patrick Corbin got his first save by pitching three scoreless innings.

the seventh inning and earned his 13th win in his last 17 starts. Donaldson, last year’s AL MVP, missed a three-game series against the Rays this week with a sore right hip. In his fourth big league appearance, Daniel Wright (0-3) gave up two runs before exiting in the sixth. Andrelton Simmons hit a two-run homer to chase Happ.

AMERICAN LAEGUE RED SOX 7, YANKEES 5: Hanley Ramirez hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to finish off a five-run rally as Boston came back to beat New York and open a two-game lead in the AL East. New York took a four-run lead after three innings and still led 5-1 before David Ortiz hit a solo shot in the eighth. It was the 537th home run of his career, passing Yankees Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle for 17th on baseball’s all-time list. Ortiz also had an RBI single off Dellin Betances (3-6) in the ninth. There were still two on and two outs when Ramirez worked a 3-1 count and sent the next pitch to straightaway center field. The victory in the opener of a four-game series against its archrival snapped Boston’s twogame skid. Starlin Castro had four hits, and new addition Billy Butler drove in two runs in his debut for the Yankees, who have lost four of five. Joe Kelly (3-0) pitched into and out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the top of the ninth.

ATHLETICS 14, ROYALS 5: Stephen Vogt homered and drove in five runs, Ryon Healy hit a mammoth three-run shot and Oakland routed Kansas City. The Athletics put a huge dent in the Royals’ diminishing playoff chances, sweeping a four-game road series at Kansas City for the first time. The A’s outscored the Royals 43-12, the largest Oakland run differential in a fourgame series in franchise history. Healy, who had three hits, sent his titanic drive an estimated 480 feet and it landed above the left-field fountains. He went 9-for-17 (.529) with two doubles, two home runs and seven RBIs in the series. Joey Wendle had his first career four-hit game and scored three runs as the A’s banged out 16 hits. Marcus Semien added his 25th homer, a three-run shot. Rookie right-hander Daniel Mengden (2-7) held the Royals to three hits over seven scoreless innings. Kansas City starter Edinson Volquez (10-11) faced 22 batters and nine scored in 3 1-3 innings. The Royals have lost eight of their past nine home games.

RAYS 7, ORIOLES 6: Evan Longoria homered and drove in five runs, and last-place Tampa Bay again played spoiler in a victory over Baltimore. The loss dropped the Orioles two games behind AL East-leading Boston and into a tie with Toronto atop the wild-card race. Tampa Bay has won three straight, including the last two of a three-game series in Toronto. The Rays also defeated the wild card-contending Yankees on Sunday. Longoria tied his career high with his 33rd homer, which came off Yovani Gallardo (5-8) with two on in the first inning, and added a two-run single in the fourth to increase his team-high RBI total to 91. Alex Colome worked the ninth for his 33rd save. After the Orioles put runners at first and third with one out, he fanned major league home run leader Mark Trumbo and slugger Chris Davis. Baltimore went 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position. Brad Boxberger (4-1) got two outs for the win. BLUE JAYS 7, ANGELS 2: Josh Donaldson went 3-for-3 with two doubles and scored two runs in his return to the lineup, Russell Martin hit a threerun homer and Toronto beat Los Angeles. The Blue Jays remained two games behind first-place Boston in the AL East. They are tied with Baltimore atop the wild-card standings. J.A. Happ (19-4) took a shutout into

TWINS 5, TIGERS 1: Brian Dozier’s two-run single highlighted a four-run second inning, and Minnesota handed Detroit a crucial loss. The Tigers split four games with lowly Minnesota, hurting them in the crowded AL wild-card race. Detroit came into the series with a 10-2 record against the Twins. Hector Santiago (12-8) got the win, holding the Tigers to one run in 5 2-3 innings. Mike Pelfrey (4-10) lost in his first major league appearance since July 31. He started the game with a 60pitch limit but lasted only 36, giving up four runs and five hits in 1 2-3 innings.

The White Sox took three of four games in the series to conclude a 6-4 homestand against three playoff hopefuls. The first-place Indians remained six games ahead of Detroit in the AL Central. David Robertson (5-3) pitched a scoreless inning for the win. Chicago starter James Shields gave up one run and three hits in six innings but remained winless in his last nine starts. He was 0-5 with a 10.75 ERA in his previous eight appearances. Bryan Shaw (2-5) took the loss.

ANDREW McCUTCHEN hit two of the Pirates’ five homers.

Stewart takes Chase spotlight Bucs hit 5 homers Continued from Page 11 incident could overshadow his bid to win a fourth series championship and his first since 2011. The opening race is Sunday at 1½-mile Chicagoland Speedway. “If you think that’s going to be a storyline for 10 weeks, then you’re going to miss a lot,” Stewart said. “You’re going to be wasting your time on something that’s not even relevant. This Chase is going to be pretty intense in itself.” All 16 title-eligible drivers appeared at the media event at the Bridgeport Art Center. Elliott first met Stewart when he was a shy 4-year-old tagging along with his father and former driver, Bill Elliott. “For the first three years I knew Chase, I didn’t even know he could talk,” Stewart said, smiling. Elliott, who replaced the retired Jeff

Gordon in the No. 24 Chevrolet, called Stewart someone he’s “looked up to” for a long time. “Tony was the first guy, other than my dad, I was ever OK with pulling for,” Elliott said. “I’m glad that he decided to wait one more year because that is a pretty special moment for me to be able to race against one of my heroes like that.” Not everyone agrees, however. Stewart has got into incidents with several drivers over the years while displaying a fiery temper. “I’m not sure that every fan out there loves him or has the relationship that I do with him,” said Jimmie Johnson, a six-time champion who is seeking to tie Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt for most career titles. “He’s always been feisty,” Johnson added. “There’s been more speed in his car, which has been good to see,

and it’s led to some more feistiness, I guess.” The Chase field includes top-seed and 2015 champion Kyle Busch, four Joe Gibbs Racing drivers and 2014 champion Kevin Harvick. The spotlight, though, will be on Stewart. “You have to be on your game right now,” Stewart said. “You have to be fast, right now, to win this championship.” Based on his history, Stewart, 45, won’t leave the sport quietly. “It’s meant more than I thought it would. I was ready at the end of last year to retire,” Stewart said. “Coming back, we really did it for our fans. We wanted our fans to see us run a last year. But it’s been fun to race with these guys one last year. These last 10 weeks aren’t going to be any different.”

Continued from Page 11 nervous. I tried to block it out.” Phillies starter Jerad Eickhoff (10-14) gave up six runs — three earned — and five hits (four homers) in 6 2-3 innings. “I feel like I let the guys down in here,” he said. “These guys are fighting. I have to live with that. That’s the most frustrating thing.” Jaso led off the game with his sixth homer. McCutchen drove one out to center in the fourth. Rodriguez connected in the fifth to make it 3-0. Mercer’s shot increased the Pirates’ lead to 6-2 in

the seventh. McCutchen hit his 23rd homer off Frank Herrmann in the eighth. The Pirates tacked on eight runs on seven hits in the ninth without the benefit of a home run. NOTES: McCutchen has 174 career homers with the Pirates. He trails Barry Bonds by two for fourth place on Pittsburgh’s alltime home run list. … Former Pirates and Phillies pitcher A.J. Burnett drove from Maryland to see two of his former teams. He watched the Pirates take batting practice on the field and chatted with many of his former teammates.

How to monitor your child’s tech By MATT LINDNER Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Pencils, notebooks, calculators, folders ... tablets? The modern school-supply list has evolved from when parents of today’s schoolchildren were growing up. With mobile technology becoming more and more ubiquitous, the classroom is no exception as teaching methods continue to evolve. “With the release of the (Apple) iPad in 2010 and the rise of more affordable laptop devices like (Google) Chromebooks, we have definitely seen an increase in most students’ access to technology in the classroom,” says Damian Bebell, an assistant research professor at the Lynch School of Education at Boston College who has studied the effects of technology on the learning process. “It’s fairly common today for many students to be using technology as a productivity tool or to access resources to supplement the curriculum.” How common, exactly? According to a survey of nearly 2,300 students in the U.S. in grades four through 12, conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of learning materials and technology provider Pearson, 58 percent of all students surveyed have used a tablet for schoolwork while 83 percent have used a device such as a laptop, notebook or Chromebook. “In our research, we see that technology is increasingly used by teachers in their instruction (such as showing multimedia or finding examples online), as well as by students for note taking, finding resources and information online, keeping online calendars, and creating products like papers or multimedia,” Bebell says. Not only are students

using these devices, but a number of school districts have themselves begun handing out Chromebooks and iPads to students, so that teachers are able to more effectively integrate the technology into their curriculum. School districts such as Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 and Naperville Community School District 203 are issuing mobile devices to students so that they can have access 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are having teachers incorporate the devices into their lesson plans. District 211 began issuing iPads to all 13,000 of its students several years ago, while District 203 began giving out Chromebooks to all 6,500 of its high school students last school year and will issue those same devices to all students from the junior high level on up this school year. This, in and of itself, presents both educators and parents with challenges. “The challenge for distraction can be large any time you put any type of digital device into a student’s hands,” says Scott Weidig, technology coordinator at Schaumburg High School in District 211. To limit those distractions, school districts that issue mobile devices employ any number of safeguards, from filtering the kind of sites and contents students can view through the school’s network to not allowing students to access social media such as Facebook and Twitter on their school-owned devices. “If you think about driver’s education, you don’t just hand a student a car and say go,” Weidig says. “We limited the devices where they weren’t able to access social media. We modified the device itself to, in essence, have a kind of learner’s permit. We implemented, across the dis-

trict, an online digital citizenship course that our students need to move through to have some of those communication capabilities opened up to them.” “Whenever a student logs into this Chromebook, it only can connect to our network to get on to the internet,” adds Roger Brunelle, chief information officer for District 203. “So (students) might be at home, and they would be on their parents’ Wi-Fi, but as soon as they get on, it’s going to come here to our district office and go through our internet connection. We have software that filters these devices when they’re not in a school building.” Brunelle says Naperville uses a filtering tool called Securly, which allows parents to better keep track of their kids’ usage of schoolowned devices. “They will have access to know what websites their students have gone to, and the tool also has the ability to scan for certain aspects of things like cyberbullying,” Brunelle says. “The tools in the marketplace have reached the point of maturity that there are a lot of things that a school district can and should put in place to make sure that it’s not all the onus on the parents to monitor on a school device.” Monitoring school-issued devices is one thing. Monitoring other ways that children access the internet, such as through personal tablets or smartphones, is another. “This is a delicate balance where every parent has to decide how engaged and involved they’re going to be,” Brunelle says, “until you have some evidence that your students are becoming good digital citizens, a little more care and caution, and having a good conversation with them on

what’s expected of them in terms of good internet behavior.” Weidig says one of the biggest concerns he hears when talking to parents in his district is that students can’t seem to untether themselves from their devices. “The biggest concern they have is the screen time, that idea of I’d love for my child to use it until 10 o’clock at night, but starting at 11 o’clock, I’d really like them to not be on it because students might be responding at 2 o’clock in the morning or interacting with other people,” he says. To combat that, Weidig and Brunelle say, parents would be wise to educate themselves on the safeguards offered by their internet service providers. “Most of the internet (service) providers themselves offer filtering and restrictions that you can set right at the router level,” Brunelle, himself a father of college-aged children, says. “I have Comcast at home. I can go into my Comcast logon, and I can set warnings and usage limits by time of day, specific devices that can and cannot connect.” “Start learning features of your router and how the connectivity works in your home, and then you can set limitations in your home,” Weidig adds. But experts say the technology itself can only do so much, and if kids are going to get the most out of the devices they’re using from an educational perspective, parents need to pay close attention, so that their kids know how to do so. “Our first recommendation to them is get involved,” Weidig says. “Don’t be intimidated. We encourage our parents to sit down with your child, let them show you what they’re doing and how they’re doing it.”

Can I get pet hair out of the laundry? DEAR MARY: I am one of your millions of fans. Your insight, tips, products and recipes are terrific. Thank you for your time and effort. I’m looking for something I can purchase or make myself to extract dog hairs from fabric in the dryer. Email Years ago I questions or purchased tips to a kind of mary@every dry ball, daycheap which skate.com or looked orEveryday dinary Cheapskate, enough 12340 Seal and Beach Blvd., worked Suite B-416, great. But Seal Beach, CA since then 90740. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m desperate! — Anita DEAR ANITA: I’m pretty sure you’re taking about a Dryer Maid Ball that removes pet hair in the dryer,

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE while softening clothes and decreasing wrinkles. Full disclosure, I have not tested this product myself, because I do not have a pet. However, the customer reviews for this product are positive. What I have tested and do love are wool dryer balls. They soften clothes and reduce static without fragrance or chemicals, and I have noticed that they pick up stray hairs that find their way into the dryer. If you give either (or both) a try, be sure to send us your review. I’m sure yours is a common problem within our big (and growing!) EC family. DEAR MARY: I have been given some gently used bedsheets. They have the odors of dryer sheets and a detergent that I am allergic to. I have washed them several times in my own fragrance-free detergent, but the odor still remains. Will Nok-Out take care of it? If so, how much should I use

in a wash load? — Louise DEAR LOUISE: A buildup of fragrance and laundry products can be tough to deal with. Manufacturers of cleaning products have trained consumers to equate fragrance with cleanliness. But that odor is certainly offensive to some of us and is yet another source of chemicals around us. I’m confident that NokOut can take care of those odors. Add 8 ounces (1 cup) Nok-Out to a washer load. If you have a top-load washer, set it to use the minimum amount of water. Fill the tub first, add the Nok-Out, mix it up a bit, and then add the sheets, making sure every whole sheet is fully saturated. Let the sheets sit in the machine for 15 to 20 minutes, then complete the cycle without adding detergent. Dry as usual. For a frontload washer, use the same amount of Nok-Out in a pre-wash soak. If possible, stop the cycle during the soak phase for 15 to 20 minutes. Then restart it

The Indiana Gazette

and complete the cycle as normal. Another option is to go low-tech. Use a washtub or bucket. Fill it with enough water to cover the sheets completely. Add 1 cup of Nok-Out. Add the sheets, and make sure the fabric gets fully immersed. Let them sit for 15 to 20 minutes. After, throw the sheets into the washer for a spin cycle (no need to rinse), and then dry them normally. Don’t forget to use code “DPL” for 10 percent off your Nok-Out when ordering online on NokOut.com or calling Nok-Out headquarters at (866) 551-1927.

SAFETY FIRST, SUCCESS SECOND Dudley Moore said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it.â&#x20AC;? At the bridge table, the careful driver â&#x20AC;&#x201D; declarer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who accommodates as many layouts as possible will come out ahead in the long run, even if sometimes an inferior line would have also worked. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal, West leads the club king against six hearts. What should South do? Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-heart jump-rebid promised four or more trumps and denied an ace, a king, a void or a singleton.

It could have been made with zero points, so Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump to six hearts was a tad optimistic. When the dummy appeared, South was very pleased with himself. He seemed to have 12 tricks via two spades, five hearts, four diamonds and one club. What could possibly go wrong? The risk was a bad diamond break. Maybe East or West held a singleton diamond honor, but South saw that he did not need to be that lucky. He won with his club ace, drew two rounds of trumps, unblocked his high spades, crossed to dummy with a trump, and ruffed the last spade. With his preparations nearly complete, declarer cashed the diamond ace, then led his remaining club. What happened next? If the defender winning the trick led a spade or a club, South would have sluffed one of his low diamonds and ruffed on the board to gain an extra trump trick. Or, if that defender played a diamond, any diamond, declarer would have played second hand low and would have had no diamond loser. Clever! COPYRIGHT: 2016, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE
