Voting Rights cited in suit Showgirl attorney cites landmark Supreme Court case in pleading

BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — The landmark case that struck down the Voting Rights Act of 1965 just two months ago is being cited in a federal suit pitting Fort Wayne strip club owner Alva Butler against the city of Angola.

In a pleading before the U.S. Federal District Court, South Bend and Indianapolis, attorneys for Showgirl owner Butler argued that the city’s justification for enacting sexually oriented business regulations is based on studies that were out of date. The city’s attorneys

have argued that secondary ill effects justify a municipality in regulating sexually oriented businesses.

Older legislation is why the U.S. Supreme Court in June struck down one key provision of the Voting Rights Act, saying the laws were out of date and inapplicable to the standards of today.

Writing for Butler, attorney Matthew Hoffer said, “like an ordinance regulating erotic speech, it was necessary for the VRA to serve a current governmental interest. … However, the Court was troubled by the fact that

‘[c]overage today is based on decades-old data and eradicated practices.’”

Hoffer’s pleading is part of a document filed Wednesday in response to the city’s motion for summary judgment against Butler, which was filed last month.

In its motion, Angola’s attorneys argue that the city was justified in enacting ordinances regulating sexually oriented businesses and changing zoning for where such businesses can be located.

In March, Butler sued the city, claiming that in trying to open

a sexually oriented business, his constitutional rights were violated.

The case is expected to come to a head Oct. 25, when oral arguments on motions filed in the case are heard in South Bend.

Butler claims when he purchased the former Slider’s Grill and Bar building at 310 W. Wendell Jacob Ave. on Aug. 9, it met Angola’s current requirements to operate a sexually oriented business. His suit claims the city took actions that would basically legislate him out of being able to operate at the former Slider’s location.

ANGOLA — Steuben County’s nonprofit fiber optics network has gained a lot of attention in the region.

Now the word is getting out in the Midwest and beyond as the Indiana Metropolitan Area Network expands to many reaches of the Steuben County community.

On Tuesday, iMAN representatives will be presenting a project update on the fiber optics network that is under the umbrella of the Steuben County Community Foundation. The iMAN system operates a fiber optics network throughout Steuben County, mainly in the incorporated areas.

Fees collected from iMAN are returned to the community in the form of grants.

Officials from Wapello County, Iowa, will be in Steuben County Monday and Tuesday to learn more about the fiber system.

“We’re just going to kind of come and get an idea of what you’re doing and maybe do it here,” said Megan Framke, initiative director with the Ottumwa Economic Development Corp.

Soldier found guilty in Fort Hood rampage Army psychologist eligible for death penalty FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — A military jury on Friday convicted Maj. Nidal Hasan in the deadly 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, making the Army psychiatrist eligible for the death penalty in the shocking assault against American troops by one of their own on home soil.

There was never any doubt that Hasan was the gunman. He acknowledged to the jury that he was the one who pulled the trigger on fellow soldiers as they prepared to deploy overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan. And he barely defended himself during a three-week trial.

The unanimous decision on all

13 counts of premeditated murder made Hasan eligible for execution in the sentencing phase that begins Monday.

Hasan, who said he acted to protect Muslim insurgents abroad from American aggression, did not react to the verdict, looking straight at jurors as they announced their findings. After the hearing, relatives of the dead and wounded fought back tears. Some smiled and warmly patted each other’s shoulders as they left court.

Because Hasan never denied his actions, the court-martial was always less about a conviction than it was about ensuring he received a death SEE GUILTY, PAGE A7

Much of Indiana dry from little rainfall

Indiana sees decline in workplace deaths

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Much of Indiana has dried out after weeks of little rain, although conditions aren’t nearly as severe as during last summer’s extended drought.

The U.S. Drought Monitor’s weekly report listed most of Indiana’s midsection and the northwestern corner as abnormally dry, which is the lowest drought condition.

The report places 38 percent of the state in that category.

In comparison, more than 80 percent of Indiana was in severe to exceptional drought at this time a year ago.

The weather service has measured less than an inch of rain this month in Indianapolis, with no rain forecast for the coming days.

Indiana’s corn and soybean crops don’t seem hurt yet as about 75 percent of each are listed in good or excellent condition.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana’s labor department says that 2012 saw the state have its fewest workplace deaths of the past two decades.

The agency says Indiana had 113 worker deaths last year. That’s down from 122 deaths during 2011.

Almost half of Indiana’s 2012 worker deaths were transportation related.

Twenty deaths happened at construction sites, while there were 10 manufacturing deaths.

State labor commissioner Sean Keefer says the decline in deaths means that employers and workers are doing a better job on safety issues.

The state’s number of workplace deaths has been generally declining since reaching at least 190 fatalities twice in the 1990s.

Volunteers are being sought for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program in Steuben County.

The Internal Revenue Service promotes VITA for people who cannot afford professional tax preparation assistance. It is for those with low to moderate incomes, the handicapped and senior citizens.

Volunteers receive free training and materials to help explain special credits and deductions and how to claim them on a tax return. Taxes are prepared at libraries in Angola and Fremont and at the Steuben County Council on Aging.

Training and certification is generally conducted in December or January. It can be done on the volunteer’s time schedule and even in the home.

Volunteers are also needed to help out at the tax sites in the spring.

Men charged with purchasing fraud LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Two men have been charged with switching bar codes on items at Home Depot stores in at least 20 states, buying items on the cheap and selling them for profit online.

David and Carson Cameron of Vevay, Ind., face federal charges of mail fraud and wire fraud. In two criminal complaints, the U.S. Secret Service says the men pocketed as much as $1.3 million in profits off merchandise from Home Depot stores around the country over a four-year period.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Dave Whalin on Friday released the Cameron brothers on $25,000 bond each and placed them on home incarceration.

The case involves the switching of universal product codes. The codes contain a product number and bar code that, when scanned into a computer, shows the price of the item.

Greenfield police to use drone for accident probes GREENFIELD (AP) — Police in a central Indiana community are turning to a drone to help them document accident scenes.

The Greenfield Police Department has purchased a remote-controlled helicopter with a mount on the bottom to attach a camera.

Chief John Jester tells the Daily Reporter the drone will be used primarily to take aerial photographs and video of accident scenes.

But it also could be used in standoff situations or to help firefighters determine where best to attack a blaze.

The drone and camera cost about $1,000. The department hopes to buy another helicopter in the near future.

Jester says the drone will only be used in legally allowed police business.

He says the department will develop a manual that addresses misuse of the equipment.

Man acquitted of murder in stabbing ANDERSON (AP) — A central Indiana man has been acquitted of murder charges in a fatal stabbing he says happened in self-defense during a fight.

Twenty-seven-year-old Adam Layne of Anderson gasped and began to cry as a Madison County judge announced the jury’s verdict Thursday. Layne had been jailed for more than eight months since his arrest in the December death of 23-year-old Willie Rumph.

The Herald Bulletin reports Layne and defense attorney Jimmy McDole maintained he stabbed Rumph to protect himself and his family after Rumph forced his way into their home and demanded drug money owed him by one of Layne’s relatives.

Rumph drove himself to a nearby hospital after the stabbing, but died during surgery a few hours later.

Watershed initiative to meet at Clear Lake CLEAR LAKE — The St. Joseph River Watershed Initiative will conduct its annual meeting Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Clear Lake Town Hall, 110 Gecowets Drive.

The initiative is in the beginning stages of developing a watershed management plan for the Upper St. Joseph River Watershed.

The Upper St. Joseph River Watershed stretches across three states and encompasses more than 335,000 acres.

Maintaining or improving the vitality and quality of the Upper St. Joseph River and its tributaries cannot be done without the help of stakeholders, especially those who live or work in the

watershed, according to the initiative.

The meeting is open to the public and will include a grant status report, information on future steps including the development of a cost-share program, a presentation on the Clear Lake Watershed and a question-and-answer period, when residents will be invited

to share their concerns.

Following the watershed discussion, Robin Scibailo, aquatic plant biologist with Purdue University, will present the results of an aquatic invasive species survey conducted on Clear Lake during June and July.

Individuals who live or work in the Upper St. Joseph

River watershed are encouraged to attend the meeting.

Those who are unable to attend are encouraged to visit the watershed’s website, sjrwi. org, for more information and a copy of the latest watershed management plan.

Heights inks new contract FROM STAFF REPORTS

BRUSHY PRAIRIE — The Prairie Heights Community Schools Board of Education has approved teacher contracts for the next two years.

The contracts were ratified during Monday night’s school board meeting, accepting the agreement reached between the school corporation and the Prairie Heights

Education Association. They are effective as of Aug. 1 and run through June 30, 2015.

One change in the contracts is raises based on performance, instead of longevity, in keeping with Indiana Department of Education directives.

Superintendent Alan Middleton said the discussions took eight sessions, and went well.

“We had good negotiations and feel really good about it,” said Middleton.

In other business, the board hired some new teachers and staff members.

They include elementary school teachers Carlie Cripe and Sarah Powers, Title 1 Intervention teacher Christine Miller, girls varsity track coach Rusty Niccum and girls varsity tennis coach Cory Scherer.

Regional council aims to strengthen logistics sector FROM STAFF REPORTS

FORT WAYNE — The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana and Conexus Indiana, the state’s advanced manufacturing and logistics initiative, Thursday announced the formation of the Northeast Regional Logistics Council.

The logistics council is an industry-led initiative to identify and advance local projects and policies to strengthen the region’s logistics sector. It comprises more than 30 advanced manufacturing and logistics industry representatives from northeast Indiana.

Andy Brooks, president of Brooks Construction Co., board member of the Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana, Vision 2020 Infrastructure Task Force chairman and a Conexus Indiana Logistics Council Infrastructure Task Force chair, will serve as chairman of the regional logistics council.

The council will address priority projects and public policy issues that affect a 13-county region including Adams, Allen, Blackford, DeKalb, Grant, Huntington, Jay, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties.

The council will develop a strategic plan to strengthen the movement of manufactured products through the region, the state and the world. In addition to serving as a guide for local projects, the plan will be integrated

into the statewide logistics plan spearheaded by the Conexus Indiana Logistics Council.

Northeast Indiana serves as a strategic logistics hub for businesses distributing products to the Great Lakes/ Midwest region. It ranks as one of the lowest-cost regions in the United States for serving national markets, ranking eighth in the country.

“Northeast Indiana has major logistics infrastructure assets, and our goal is to protect and grow those assets in order to continue to grow our logistics industry and our position as the ‘Crossroads of America,’” said David Holt, vice president of operations and business development for Conexus Indiana. “For the last three years, the Conexus Indiana Logistics Council has studied the key issues facing the industry and has recommended improvements including investing in our highways, optimizing our airport network, maintaining our locks and dams, all while reducing the tax and regulatory barriers to logistics companies.”

Several projects have been identified at the state level by the Conexus Indiana Logistics Council, including: • the Hoosier Heartland Highway, which involves replacing S.R. 25, a two-lane rural highway constructed in the 1930s, with a new four-lane, limited-access highway that will connect Lafayette to

Fort Wayne, where it will link to the U.S. 24 Fort to Port highway; • a limited-access highway along U.S. 30 from Valparaiso to Fort Wayne to improve connectivity between Interstate 69 and I-65; • completion of I-69 to Evansville; and • ensuring freeway-like access for Marion.

“The northeast Indiana region is in an enviable position when it comes to logistics, being home to national and international distribution companies that realize the benefits of our region’s assets,” said Brooks. “As a business owner in this region, I know how important it is to leverage our existing position and continue to plan for future growth.”

“Interstate accessibility has been identified as one of the seven priorities of our Vision 2020 initiative.

Improving our infrastructure and supporting the logistics industry cluster is vital to the growth of our economy and business investment in the region,” said John Sampson, president and CEO of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership. “Our partnership with the regional chamber and Conexus on this issue underscores the importance of the logistics council.”

Additional meetings and forums will be held throughout 2013 and early 2014, resulting in the development of a logistics strategic plan.

Three teenagers convicted in accomplice’s death GOSHEN (AP) — Three teenagers have been convicted on murder charges stemming from their accomplice being shot to death by a northern Indiana homeowner during a break-in.

Many in the packed Elkhart County courtroom sobbed as the verdicts were announced late Thursday against 17-year-old Blake Layman, 18-year-old Levi Sparks and 19-year-old Anthony Sharp Jr. They could face felony murder charges under state law because they were taking part in a crime during which 21-year-old Danzele Johnson died.

Jurors deliberated more than five hours before reaching their verdict in the case regarding an October

break-in and shooting in Elkhart, about 15 miles east of South Bend.

Defense attorneys pointed to the teens’ ages and maintained they didn’t expect to break into an occupied home, The Elkhart Truth reported.

Angry relatives and friends criticized the prosecutor for pressing murder charges against teens who didn’t kill anyone.

Family friend Jennifer Szabo said after the verdict that the homeowner didn’t need to fire numerous shots.

“I wish there would have been a different outcome because they did not commit a murder, they did not pull that trigger,” Szabo told WNDU-TV. Elkhart County

1-800-717-4679

Prosecutor Curtis Hill said he believed pursuing the murder charges was the correct action.

“When we filed the charges we believed it was appropriate that when someone commits a felony, and a person dies as a result, Indiana law is very clear,” Hill said.

Hill cleared the homeowner, who wasn’t injured, of any wrongdoing.

A fourth person who entered the home, 17-yearold Jose Quiroz, pleaded guilty in December to felony murder charges and was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

A Sept. 12 sentencing hearing was scheduled for the three teens, who face possible prison terms of 45 years to 65 years.

Filner will resign San Diego mayor to step down amid scandal SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mayor Bob Filner agreed Friday to resign in return for the city’s help defending him against claims he groped, kissed and made lewd comments to women, allegations that shook and embarrassed the city and turned the former 10-term congressman into a national punch line.

Filner was regretful and defiant during a City Council meeting as he explained the “the toughest decision of my life.” He apologized to his accusers but insisted he was innocent of sexual harassment and said he was the victim of a “lynch mob.”

“The city should not have to go through this, and my own personal failures were responsible and I apologize to the city,” Filner said after the council voted 7-0 on a deal that ended a political stalemate after 17 women publicly accused him of harassment.

“To all the women that I offended, I had no intention to be offensive, to violate any physical or emotional space,” he said. “I was trying to establish personal relationships but the combination of awkwardness and hubris I think led to behavior that many found offensive.”

The city will pay Filner’s legal fees in a joint defense of a lawsuit filed by the mayor’s former communications director and pay for any settlement costs assessed against the mayor except for punitive damages, said City Attorney Jan Goldsmith. The city would also pay up to $98,000 if Filner wants to hire his own attorney.

Goldsmith said the city was obligated to provide his legal defense no matter what.

The city now must turn to settling the lawsuit by the former communications director, who was the first woman to go public with allegations against Filner and is the only accuser to file a lawsuit against the mayor and the city.

Irene McCormack Jackson claimed the mayor asked her to work without panties, demanded kisses, told her he wanted to see her naked and dragged her in a headlock while whispering in her ear.

“My thoughts are with the courageous women, who because they spoke out, galvanized the residents of this great city and its elected leaders to rise up against a serial sexual harasser and a gross abuser of power,” said McCormack, as she is known professionally.

“Bye-bye, Bob. You will not be missed.”

Beware the warrior cops We need police to catch murderers, thieves and con men, and so we give them special power — the power to use force on others.

Sadly, today’s police use that power to invade people’s homes over accusations of trivial, nonviolent offenses — and often do it with tanks, battering rams and armor you’d expect on battlefields.

In his book “Rise of the Warrior Cop,” Radley Balko recounts the rise of police SWAT teams (SWAT stands for Special Weapons And Tactics) armed with military equipment.

JOHN heavy SWAT raids began as rarely methods of dealing STOSSEL used with violent situations, like hostage-takings.

But government always grows.

In the 1970s, there were about 300 SWAT raids per year. “As of 2005,” says Balko, “100 to 150 per day.”

What began as a few specialized groups of police trained to address genuine threats to safety has degenerated into small armies descending on organic farms where farmers sell unpasteurized In the 1970s, there were milk and legal medical about 300 SWAT raids marijuana per year. “As of 2005,” dispensaries getting raided says Balko, “100 to 150 as if they per day.” were heavily armed threats.

The increase began under Nixon-era politicians who wanted to look “tough on crime,” even if that meant exaggerating the threat posed by illegal drugs. As the futile war on drugs escalated, cops worried that drug users would destroy evidence if cops knocked and announced themselves. So they stopped doing that, changing a centuries-old rule that treated citizens’ homes as their castles — castles whose owners must be presented with a warrant before police can enter.

Soon, every police department wanted a SWAT team — and many were more interested in getting cool military gear than in considering the potential downside — like terrorizing innocent people, raiding the wrong house and causing violence.

“I found over 50 cases where a completely innocent person was killed in one of these raids,” says Balko. Often this happens because the homeowner does not realize who is breaking down his door in the middle of the night.

Iraq War veteran Jose Guerena just knew that armed men were bursting in. So he picked up his semi-automatic rifle. Before he could take the safety off, police fired 71 bullets, hitting him 22 times.

Police raided his house because they suspected drugs were there. But after Guerena was killed, police found no drugs and no evidence of drug dealing. Today, the vast majority of SWAT raids are about drugs, not terrorism or hostage situations. Guerena’s brother was arrested on drug charges. Balko says, “It appears Guerena’s crime was being related to someone.”

Now that the public is finally starting to have doubts about the drug war, another type of war has arrived: the War on Terror.

The idea that domestic enemies need to be raided and rooted out — that law enforcement should be given a free hand or we could all be killed — got a new lease on life.

And a new source of funding.

Despite laws clearly saying that soldiers may not be used for domestic policing except in very special circumstances, the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security now offer armored vehicles — tanks and troop transports, body armor and stun grenades — to police departments, large or small.

Local police jumped at the chance to have new toys — so they expanded the circumstances under which those toys get used.

The police chief in quiet Concord, N.H., cites people not so different from me as an excuse for getting DHS money to buy an armored vehicle. In an application for what is essentially a tank, he wrote that groups like the Free State Project — libertarians who moved to New Hampshire seeking increased individual freedom — pose “daily challenges” to the police of Concord.

Free Staters better watch out next time they get into an argument over a traffic ticket.

Most libertarians argue that police, courts and military are legitimate functions of government. We focus our skepticism on completely illegitimate government actions, like corporate welfare.

But few freedoms are more basic than being able to sleep securely in your bed without armored men bursting through your door.

Letters To the Editor • Retired teacher lauded for encouraging academic growth To the editor: As another school year begins, a recently retired teacher will get used to life outside of the classroom. Karen Sanders, former English teacher at Angola High School, retired last spring after giving thirty-three years of encouragement and academic growth. While each teacher throughout my education helped me academically, Karen enabled me to grow both intellectually and personally. The skills taught in her classes are undeniably beneficial to any person who had the chance to sit in her classroom.

Karen was my AP Literature and Language teacher who emphasized essay writing and deep literary analyses. Surely these skills are not the main priority of most high school students, but Karen’s enthusiasm

and eloquence made both her lectures and assignments fascinating. She frequently made an effort to tie discussions to the students world, making me feel empowered and confident. When assignments were graded, her hard work was evident because she would write multiple thoughtful comments and suggestions. An admirable quality about Karen was her unbiased support for individuality: This quality allowed me to grow intellectually without inhibitions. In retrospect, I see that Karen was preparing me for my college years and onward.

The most impactful aspect of Karen’s classroom was her emphasis on tolerance.

Examples would be the frequent reading assignments and Socratic Seminars. Prior to these sessions, Mrs. Sanders introduced the need for everyone to have a “tolerance for ambiguity.” She stressed that each person does not have the same perspective on

various topics but we need to respect their stance by hearing them out and remaining open-minded. This was a piece of advice that led to respectful yet diverse thoughts.

Maintaining a tolerance for ambiguity resonated with me from the day it was introduced and is applicable in various facets of life.

Surely this iota does not wholly describe the significance of Karen’s time at Angola High School, but her thirty-three years of passion were useful and inspiring in and out of the classroom. I hope that all teachers emulate some of Karen’s qualities like interest, insight, and tolerance. My academics were stimulated by her work and it changed my life. Karen will always be a meaningful mentor and I send her the best wishes in her retired life.

After one brief pitstop, I am finally back home It would be romantic to say that I am drizzling beach sand from my suitcase as I zigzag up and down Indiana this week.

Unfortunately the best I have for you is that I am actually dropping small round circles of white paper from my three-hole punch. If you remember, I took my three-hole punch with me to Ocracoke.

However something happened to it in my suitcase and wherever I go I leave trails of these circles.

In some ways I feel like Hansel and Gretel. They left small pieces of bread crumbs so they could find their way home.

At least they didn’t litter since the birds ate their trail.

I first noticed the circles when I boarded the Amtrak train. There were so many I could not actually pick up the tiny little circles so I just let them follow me to Washington, to Waterloo, to my dining room.

When I arrived home two weeks ago I saw the circles expanding into my library.

I quickly swept them up before Virginia noticed. (She is very neat and tidy!) The more I swept the more circles followed me.

As I repacked for this storytelling journey I noticed the circles have followed me to Indianapolis. (I did carry the bag to the garbage can and shake it out…twice!)

So now they are all over Ellen’s house.

Luckily we have been so busy she has not noticed the small trail leading up to my bedroom.

One of the best perks of being a performer in the IndyFringe is that I get to attend the other shows free. I am amazed at the talent and the creativity of the work that I see. There are solo artists as well as theater and dance companies that take to the many stages on Massachusetts Ave. There is the Tapman, Tristan Bruns from Chicago, who directs and stars in his hour

long show of tap dancing with his company.

His shoes click, the sand flies and I sit on the edge of my seat wondering how it is possible. At the end of the show he invites any audience member who knows how to tap dance (even in the slightest) to come on up for the finale. At the show I attended, a woman went onstage. Afterward she told me she had not tapped for 30 years. I thought she was great even with her flip-flops.

One evening I watched Timothy Mooney from LOU ANN Minneapolis give excerpts the greatest speeches HOMAN- from of all times. Spellbound I SAYLOR sat listening to speeches from Socrates, Roosevelt, MLK and several others. I watched Mooney change voice, character and stance as the speeches continued for an hour.

I have to give a bow to my favorite show of all in this year’s Fringe, and that is “Underneath the Lintel” by Pat O’Brien. I actually attended this show twice, once free as a performer, and then I bought a ticket for another show since he sells out often. In this solo performance O’Brien plays the part of an eccentric librarian finding a book 123 years overdue. His performance is stellar and the content is fascinating.

My shows continue as well with a sell-out performance on opening night and great reviews. When I am not performing or attending other shows I am standing outside the Phoenix Theatre handing out cards to advertise my show. Sometimes I do not get very far as the conversation often turns to my broken arm. “Now that,”

•

I believe Angola is exotic since, unlike New York, Vegas, Minneapolis and Australia, I am the only one here from my hometown.

• one man says, “should be your show.”

All folks love the story of ghosts scaring me on Ocracoke. I do have to admit it is a good story, especially now that the cast will be coming off this week.

I am often asked where I am from. I have had a delightful time with this as well. I answer, “I am from the exotic town of Angola, Indiana.” This usually brings a laugh or a look of puzzlement as they try to figure out where that might be. I believe Angola is exotic since, unlike New York, Vegas, Minneapolis and Australia, I am the only one here from my hometown.

The shows wrap up before midnight and Ellen and I head on home. It has been a long week with still two more shows this weekend.

By late Sunday night I will pack up (again) and follow the circles home … home to my family, my garden, my students and my Dorothy red shoes waiting for me. There is indeed, no place like home.

LOU ANN HOMAN-SAYLOR lives in Angola at the White Picket Gardens where you can find her gardening or writing late into the night under the light of her frayed scarlet lamp. She is a storyteller, teacher, writer, actress and a collector of front porch stories.

What Others Say • Revising mandatory minimum sentencing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s call last week for a revision of mandatory federal sentencing laws is a welcome but overdue proposal.

Holder specifically took aim at low-level, nonviolent drug offenders who have filled the nation’s prisons during the so-called “War on Drugs” of the past 30 years.

Mandatory minimum sentencing and so-called “three strikes” laws were enacted throughout the 1980s

and 1990s as politicians sought to “get tough” on crime and more aggressively combat the failing “War of Drugs.” These laws removed any discretion in sentencing from judges based on the actual conditions of specific cases and imposed arbitrary prison time for general classifications of different types of crimes.

The result was a swelling of the U.S. prison population — mostly with inmates convicted of drug-related crimes. Holder said the prison population has grown by almost 800 percent

since 1980, with more than 219,000 federal inmates in facilities that are operating at nearly 40 percent above capacity.

Holder said he has instructed federal prosecutors to stop charging many nonviolent drug defendants with offenses that carry mandatory minimum sentences. He said he plans to work with Congress to give judges greater discretion in sentencing.

It’s way past time for the United States to bring some common sense to the criminal

justice system and return flexibility to judges when they hand down sentences. The increasing cost of maintaining the country’s prisons continues to divert needed resources from law enforcement agencies, prosecutors and drug prevention and intervention programs.

Mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent offenders promote injustice and do nothing to protect public safety. Holder is correct in his call to abandon them.

God can make miracles happen in your life

BY JOHN BOYANOWSKI

MIRACLES — Historic events or natural phenomena which appear to violate or transcend natural laws but which reveal God to the eye of faith at the same time. A helpful way of understanding the meaning of miracles is to examine the various terms for miracles used in the Bible.

Both the Old Testament and the New Testament use the word sign (Isaiah 7:11, 14; John 2:11) to denote a miracle that points to a deeper revelation. Wonder (Joel 2:30; Mark 13:22) emphasizes the effect of the miracle, causing awe and even terror. A work (Matthew 11:2) points to the presence of God in history, acting for mankind.

The New Testament uses the word power (Mark 6:7) to emphasize God’s acting in strength. These terms often overlap in meaning (Acts 2:43). They are more specific than the more general term “miracle� — Hayford’s Bible handbook.

Miracle — an event or action that apparently contradicts known scientific laws — Webster’s New Compact Office Dictionary People are looking for a miracle in their lives.

To some, a miracle might be in a windfall of money coming into their life; maybe winning a lottery or finding some sort of “treasure.� To others, it might be to find “Mr. /Mrs. Right� — someone who fulfills their dreams. To yet others, it might be to accomplish something great (good or bad); something

that places their mark on history. And to others still, a miracle might be a healing of sort. Whatever you wish to consider a miracle, others might argue with you that it is not simply because it might have happened to them and they claim they made it happen and not anyone/anything else. This does not disqualify it being a miracle for you!

I have had numerous miracles happen within my life that I wholeheartedly know came from no one else but God himself; living through accidents where I should have been dead, seeing my two adorable granddaughters Stephanie and Rebecca McCray (conjoined twins born in 2004) live four days longer than expected which allowed our family to love them and for them to love and teach us, being married to the most awesome woman (in my eyes) who could put up with me all these years, and the list goes on ‌.

The point I am trying to make is that miracles are different to different people. Miracles do not always have to be about healing. Miracles can (and do) come in the form of provision, acceptance, knowledge, transformation, ability to adapt or overcome situations, perseverance, insight, understanding, developing skills, creativity, intellect, forgiveness and mercy. Miracles affect all aspects of our lives: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Some miracles are “small� in nature (as

Have you ever got up in the morning and things didn’t go well? Maybe you woke up late and you didn’t have time to get around. Maybe you got up and everything went wrong ‌ you poured yourself a bowl of cereal and then there was no milk, or your hair wouldn’t do anything you wanted, or your girlfriend dumped you on the way to school, or you forgot about lunch money‌ so the logical person the blame for all of these things going wrong is your mom. You know if she had bought milk this would never have happened, or if she would have blessed you with better hair your day would be better, or if she had been nicer to the girlfriend this never would have happened, or if she just knew you bought someone else’s lunch twice last week then she should have written you a lunch check ‌ the list goes on about how we can spin things to blame others.

Truth is I think that we blame others a lot. I think the truth is that we blame God. I think when things are good we take him for granted (like good ole mom) and when things are bad we want him to swoop in like Superman and fix it ‌ YESTERDAY. Scripture tells us: Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.â€?

in the beauty found in a sunset, nighttime sky, a cool breeze kissing our bodies on a warm summer’s day) or it might be “big� (finding someone who has been separated for many years, seeing someone accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, watching the miracle of birth or seeing someone pass from this life to the eternal life).

There are many who think they are not worthy of receiving miracles.

They view themselves as “not anyone special� or “having value.� They are far from the truth! God has made each one of us not only worthy of receiving miracles, but to also make miracles happen! Miracles do not have to be epic to be miracles; they only have to be epic to those being blessed by the miracle.

Changing water to wine was no real big miracle to those who know how to make wine however, the way, the timing, the quality, and the purpose for the wine became the miracle to those at the wedding in Cana. To Jesus, this was nothing special. But to the bride, groom, guest, family, and especially to Jesus’ mother and the servant who witnessed the miracle, it was life-changing!

I mentioned earlier that I believe one miracle was seeing someone come to the belief in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. I truly believe this. For MANY years I believed that my father was the one man God could never reach and save.

I literally prayed for him

for 17 years and found no evidence of God’s miracle in his life. Just because I didn’t see it didn’t mean God wasn’t creating the miracle within! One day, while my father was visiting me from Rhode Island (my homeland), I took him to an Al Densen concert. It was there that my father came to know, accept, and surrender to Jesus Christ! What a miracle to not only him, but to me! Today, my father faithfully attends church and serves however he can.

He is secure in his faith and when his time comes to enter eternity, he will see Jesus face to face and be reunited with my mother who died in 1997 (also a believer in Christ).

Friends, the first miracle I wish for you is that of Jesus Christ in your life.

You might have already had various miracles in your life; however, there is no greater miracle than that of a life found in Christ. Through him, we receive forgiveness, mercy, salvation and grace; regardless of what we have done in our lives! Once you have Jesus as Lord, you will begin to see the vast amounts of miracles which are taking place in you and through you!

Father God, Thank You for making a miracle out of my life.

Please do the same for all who will seek you. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

THE REV. JOHN BOYANOWSKI serves at

Pleasant Lake United Methodist Church.

It doesn’t necessarily say he will fix it all at that moment. It says I will give you rest. See if we look at the list of things that didn’t go our way‌.you used the last of the milk for Oreo’s last night while you studied thus, you should have made toast‌. you didn’t get up in time to take a shower so your hair simply needs to be washed thus, you should have planned better‌ you didn’t call your girlfriend last night like you were supposed to and you texted with another girl thus, she is unhappy with you nothing to do with mom‌. and on and on and on.

You see some of our problems are consequences of our actions. God is always able to help up when we call on him.

When we include him in the planning process our lives will go much smoother. When we daily study the word of God and seek his will for our lives then we will be able to see his good and perfect will for our lives. Instead of being burdened with bad choices we can begin to make the right choices! Let’s not play the blame game.

Dear God, May I search your word for your will in my life!

May I seek to blame others less and accept responsibility for my own actions.

TRACEY ZIMMERMAN is the youth pastor at Angola United Methodist Church of Christ.

bristled when the trial judge, Col. Tara Osborn, suggested the shooting rampage could have been avoided were it not for a spontaneous flash of anger.

“It wasn’t done under the heat of sudden passion,” Hasan said before jurors began deliberating. “There was adequate provocation — that these were deploying soldiers that were going to engage in an illegal war.”

All but one of the dead were soldiers, including a pregnant private who curled on the floor and pleaded for her baby’s life.

The attack ended when Hasan was shot in the back by one of the officers responding to the shooting. He is paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair.

Hasan planned to continue representing himself in the sentencing phase, which was expected to include more testimony from survivors of the attack inside an Army medical center where soldiers were waiting in long lines to receive immunizations and medical clearance for deployment.

unarmed troops were making final preparations to deploy.

Thirteen people were killed and more than were 30 wounded.

John Galligan, Hasan’s former lead attorney, said Hasan called him to make sure he heard the verdict, and the pair planned to meet later at Fort Hood.

Galligan said the jury did not hear all the facts because the judge refused to allow evidence that helped explain Hasan’s actions.

“Right or wrong, strong or weak, the facts are the facts,” he said. “The jury we heard from only got half the facts.”

The jury of 13 high-ranking officers took about seven hours to reach the verdict. In the next phase, jurors must all agree to give Hasan the death penalty before he can be sent to the military’s death row, which has just five other prisoners. If they do not agree, the 42-yearold could spend the rest of his life in prison.

sentence. From the beginning, the federal government has sought to execute Hasan, believing that any sentence short of a lethal injection would deprive the military and the families of the dead of the justice they have sought for nearly four years.

Autumn Manning, whose husband, retired Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning, was shot six times during the attack, wept when the verdict was read. She said she had been concerned that some charges might be reduced to manslaughter, which would have taken a death sentence off the table.

“This is so emotional,” she said in a telephone interview from Lacey, Wash., where she and her husband live.

“I’ve just been crying since we heard it because it was a relief. … we just wanted to hear the premeditated.”

Hasan, who represented himself after firing his legal team, was also convicted on 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. He carried out the attack in a crowded waiting room where

suspected (leaks into the ocean) from the beginning. … TEPCO is making it very difficult for us to trust them.”

To keep the melted nuclear fuel from overheating, TEPCO has rigged a makeshift system of pipes and hoses to funnel water into the broken reactors.

The radioactive water is then treated and stored in the aboveground tanks that have now developed leaks.

But far more leaks into the reactor basements during the cooling process — then through cracks into the surrounding earth and groundwater.

About 1,000 tons of underground water from the mountains flows into the plant compound each day, of which 400 tons seep into the reactor and turbine basements and get contaminated.

The remaining 600 avoids that area, but at least half of it is believed to eventually come in contact with contamination elsewhere before entering the sea, according to an estimate by Japan’s Agency for Natural Resources and Energy.

bigger and possibly more radioactive, confronting the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., with an invisible, chronic problem and few viable solutions.

Many also believe it is another example of how TEPCO has repeatedly failed to acknowledge problems that it could almost certainly have foreseen — and taken action to mitigate before they got out of control.

It remains unclear what the impact of the contamination on the environment will be because the radioactivity will be diluted as it spreads farther into the sea. Most fishing in the area is already banned, but fishermen in nearby Iwaki City had been hoping to resume test catches next month following favorable sampling results. Those plans have been scrapped after news of the latest tank leak.

“Nobody knows when this is going to end,” said Masakazu Yabuki, a veteran fisherman in Iwaki, just south of the plant, where scientists say contaminants are carried by the current. “We’ve

Overnight lows will be in the mid-60s. Daytime highs will reach the low 90s with partly sunny skies on Monday. Nighttime low of 70 expected.

TOKYO (AP) — Deep beneath Fukushima’s crippled nuclear power station, a massive underground reservoir of contaminated water that began spilling from the plant’s reactors after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami has been creeping slowly toward the Pacific.

Now, 2 1/2 years later, experts fear it is about to reach the ocean and greatly worsen what is fast becoming a new crisis at Fukushima: the inability to contain vast quantities of radioactive water.

The looming crisis is potentially far greater than the discovery earlier this week of a leak from a tank that stores contaminated water used to cool the reactor cores.

That 300-ton (80,000gallon) leak is the fifth and most serious from a tank since the March 2011 disaster, when three of the plant’s reactors melted down after a huge earthquake and tsunami knocked out the plant’s power and cooling functions.

But experts believe the underground seepage from the reactor and turbine building area is much

Briefly • Thunder women picked 8th in MIAA ROYAL OAK, Mich. — Trine University’s women’s soccer team was picked to finish eighth in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association preseason coaches poll released on Friday. Defending league champion Calvin was picked the preseason favorite.

The Thunder were 1-16-3 and tied for eighth in the MIAA at 0-14-2 last season.

They only scored seven goals in 2012 while allowing 51, so coach Terry Stefankiewicz will work with his personnel to make the team more competitive in 2013.

FOOTBALL: Eagles held without score by ’Busco FROM PAGE B1

“We had a character check and came back to score under control. We kicked out solo agendas and started playing harder in the second half,” Royer added. “We have to adapt and modify on both sides of the ball. We are developing some playmakers. But we have to move out of being competitive to competing to win.”

Kelly was 8-for-17 passing for 229 yards and three touchdowns. His feet kept a play alive against a Panther rush and found senior Wyatt Petty behind the defense for an 89-yard scoring pass with 4:36 left in the fourth quarter.

Olivares, who also plays soccer at Lakeland, made all three of his extra-point kicks and hit field goals from 39 yards late in the second quarter and and 35 yards midway through the fourth quarter.

“The first time we have worked on field goals this season was before the game,” Thompson said. “He (Olivares) is obviously a

That big run by Bauer was Angola’s first touchdown and came in the first quarter. He broke through the Charger defensive line and raced 62 yards into the endzone.

The point-after kick tied the game at 7-7 with 3:52 left in the opening quarter.

West Noble had struck paydirt first, scoring on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Landon Stover to Brandon Moser with 4:38 left in the first quarter. That capped an eight-play drive that was helped by a 15-yard facemask penalty whistled against the Hornets.

After Bauer’s big run, Angola scored with 1:27 left in the first period when Simon Gardner picked off a Stover pass and raced 30 yards into the endzone to put his team up 13-7. Spencer Stites’ second point-after kick made it 14-7.

The Charger offense reponded with an impressive a 13-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. West

ANGOLA — The Trine University men’s soccer program will once again be running the Angola Youth Soccer League this fall for boys and girls ages 3-12.

Each team will practice their soccer skills for a half-hour, then play 30-minute games at Trine’s soccer fields on Sundays in September and October, beginning on Sept.

15 and ending on Oct. 27. Thunder men’s soccer players will serve as coaches under the supervision and guidance of Trine head coach Trevor Ferrell and his staff.

Registration will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday and Sept. 4 at Angola Sports Center, 217 W. Maumee St. Schedules will

be handed out at registration. The entry fee is $50 per child, and it covers the T-shirt for each child and operational costs. The fee can only be paid for in cash.

Address questions about the league to Thunder associate head men’s soccer coach Mike Ferrell by calling 665-4319 or 668-6050.

Noble running backs Payton Shrock and Levi Nelson picked up more than a dozen yards each on that drive.

Josh Alexander had a big play with a 28-yard pass Stover, on a third and one play at midfield.

Sophomore Damian Breetz scored for the Chargers on a nine-yard run with 7:15 remaining in the second quarter. But the point-after kick was short, leaving the Chargers a point down at 14-13.

That would be the last points put up by either team until the Angola defense pinned down a West Noble runner in the endzone for a safety. That came with 3:33 left in the game. The safety was set up after the Hornets lost a fumble at the five-yard line.

The Chargers were given one last chance when Josh Alexander intercepted an Angola pass to give his team the ball at the Angola 20-yard line with 2:29 showing on the clock. But the Hornets’ defense stepped

up and stopped the Chargers on three big plays.

West Noble then tried to kick a fourth down, 20-yard field goal with 57 seconds left in the game, but the snap was a little wide and the kicker never got a chance to put his foot on the ball, effectively ending the game.

“That safety was huge for us,” Schoeff said. “It changed the momentum of the game because they had stopped us just before that.

Our defense showed us a lot tonight.”

West Noble’s Stover completed nine of 13 passes for 65 yards. Angola was hurt by penalties, being flagged eight times for 95 yards.

Mawhorter is hoping his defense’s good showing will bring momentum into next week’s game. West Noble travels to Eastside. “Our kids came of this game with a lot of confidence on defense,” he said. “But our offense needs some work.”

Angola goes out of the conference next week, traveling to Leo.

VOLLEYBALL: New FHS coach improving skill level FROM PAGE B1

Young will anchor the back row and be the energetic, vocal leader the Panthers need. She will have help from juniors Mckenzie Kain and Makyla York.

Two freshmen with club experience will help Heights: Emma Kurtz and outside hitter Havanna Kleeberg, Haley’s sister. Havanna has started in the earlygoing.

Senior Alex Messer and sophomore Nicolette Byers will get some looks at setter, too.

Prairie Heights has size with the Kleebergs and sophomore outside hitter Hannah Herber. Senior Ruth McNabb will add to the leadership.

“We have a good core. I like our senior leadership,” Sailor said. “Our younger players have strong work ethic and are eager to learn.”

Angola Hornets Coach: Trisha Perschke, 2nd season 2012: 17-16, 7-3 NECC, lost to Bishop Dwenger in first round of 3A Concordia Sectional.

The Hornets are coming off a winning season, but are still trying to catch up with the best teams in Northeast Indiana, including state power and NECC rival Fairfield and most of the teams in their own 3A sectiona, like Leo, Bishop Dwenger, Concordia and now Bishop Luers.

“It will be an exciting year,” Perschke said. “We have an athletic group and we’re excited about running a quicker offense.

“Claire, Tori and Lauren will be our key players on offense and defense. We also have sophomores who are versatile and will play wherever we put them.”

Tenth graders Kaitlyn Brandt, a left-side hitter, and Molly Smith, a middle hitter, will fit that mold. Classmate Alyssa Baker will be a mainstay in the back row and will be a solid passing libero.

Junior Brookston Perschke, the coach’s daughter, will take on the sole setting duties.

Junior Tana Willibey and senior Paige Emke also pass the ball well.

Coach Perschke saw the Pineapple Camp in July at the SportONE facility in Fort Wayne to be valuable to the Hornets. They played many of the top Fort Wayne teams there.

“The girls were competitive with the Fort Wayne teams. That’s what we’re

Shoppell was an assistant coach for Julie Dunham-May at AHS for three seasons.

Shoppell also coached with the Fort Wayne Volleyball Club and the Elkhart-based Northern Indiana Volleyball Association, which was formerly known as the Shank You club.

His daughters Katie (Minard) and Emily both played volleyball for the Hornets. Minard went on to play at Trine University and is back at Fremont as the junior varsity coach helping her dad this time around.

“We spent our entire summer entirely on individual skill developmemt. We had to bring the whole group up for the team to improve,” Kevin Shoppell said of his Eagles.

“We have a system in place both offensively and defensively. I’m exicted for the year. I’m especially excited for the girls,” he added. “I hope that we will be a lot better late in the season than we are now.”

The Eagles only lost two players to graduation in libero Katie Hatch and outside hitter Caitlin Loffer.

Senior outside hitter Sarah Vacala is Fremont’s most seasoned volleyball player.

Senior right-side hitter Allison Arnos and the 5-foot-10 duo of senior Miranda White and sophomore Shae Rhonehouse will also look to build the

offensive attack. Junior Kaileigh Folland will set them up.

Hamilton Marines Coach: Haley Manahan, 2nd season 2012: 2-22, 0-11 NECC, lost to Bethany Christian in first round of 1A Blackhawk Christian Sectional.

Hamilton is growing with 18 girls in the program.

Three freshmen will help the Marines grow in 5-9 middle hitter Emma Gaff, 6-footer Mackenzie Smyth and libero Leslie Petre.

“Hopefully they can raise everyone’s confidence level around them,” Manahan said. “They mix up their serves really well.

“Emma played club and can do a lot of things with the ball. She can also play in the back row.”

Seniors Zoie Farnsworth, a setter, and Bayleigh Steury, a middle hitter, lead the HHS returners. Farnsworth had 233 assists and was an All-NECC honorable mention last year.

Steury led the Marines in kills (96), digs (54), solo blocks (54) and aces (40) in 2012.

Juniors Emma Lucas, an outside hitter, and Sarah Ingledue, a right-side hitter, are also back.

“I like how we’re meshing together. The communication is better than it was last year,” Manahan said. We want to win more games than we did last year. Our passing needs to improve for us to be really good.”

Hamilton and Fremont both lost non-conference home matches on Thursday.

The Marines fell to the Goshen Blue Blazers home school team 25-16, 25-19, 25-13, and the Eagles were beat by Blackhawk Christian 25-18, 25-13, 23-25, 25-12.

Hoosiers coach still weighing QB options BLOOMINGTON (AP) — It’s less than a week until Indiana begins its season and coach Kevin Wilson still hasn’t chosen his quarterback.

The decision may not come until Thursday night when the Hoosiers open against Indiana State. After hinting this Wilson week that he might make an announcement during Friday’s regular news conference, Wilson explained that he’s still weighing his options.

“This isn’t about favorites, this is about winning some daggone football games,” he said. “And it’s about time we start doing that.”

Quarterbacks Cam Coffman, Tre Roberson and Nate Sudfeld have been competing through the offseason, spring practice and now through preseason camp. With the Indiana State game looming, nobody seems to know which direction this is

going — not the quarterbacks, not the coaches, not the team.

But unlike previous seasons, in which Wilson has challenged players to win the job and to spend more time studying game tape, Wilson has liked what he’s seen this year.

And he may even be willing to use multiple quarterbacks. Or he may revert to what Indiana did last season — allowing Coffman and Sudfeld to compete for the job each week — after Roberson went down with a season-ending broken left leg.

To Wilson, naming a starter at this point just doesn’t seem like a big deal.

“Those guys have worked very, very hard. I don’t know where they are right now, but if I had to guess, I’d say they’re probably watching video on their iPads,” Wilson said. “They’ll watch practice twice, sometimes with me and sometimes with coach (Kevin) Johns, and I’m talking about different things like if we’re doing this, what is our best option. I’ve got a lot of trust

in all of those guys and that’s why our offense is not going to change, whoever plays.”

Each has different strengths.

Roberson won the starting spot during his freshman season and kept it until the injury ruined his 2012 season in Game 2. If he’s 100 percent, he gives the Hoosiers a more dynamic runner.

Coffman and Sudfeld took turns replacing Roberson and the tandem pocket-passing quarterbacks actually had Indiana in position to make an improbable run at a division title. The Hoosiers then lost their final three games of the season to fall out of contention.

It’s been so close that even those catching the balls can’t predict an outcome.

“We’re blind, just like everybody else,” receiver Cody Latimer said.

Tight end Ted Bolser added: “Coach keeps that pretty confidential. I don’t know much about the situation. They all can play, they all can throw and one’s a little better runner.”

Whoever gets the job, Wilson does expect to see a better team on the field.

A year ago, when the Hoosiers faced the resurgent Sycamores, a Football Championship Subdivision school, running back Shakir Bell made it a much closer game than most expected. Indiana finally held on for a 24-17 win.

This time, Wilson expects a better performance — especially from a defense that allowed more than 35 points a game.

But fans want to know their quarterback, and that’s not a decision Wilson is prepared to make yet.

“We may not make a decision till Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,” Wilson said. “All three of them have done well. … We’re going to do what we do on offense, some of the guys have different strengths but the gist of the offense will be what it will be — we’re going to spread it out and you may see a little more personnel groupings and we’re still going to work tempo.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Ramirez to Cubs completes Garza deal with Texas ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Rangers have sent right-hander Neil Ramirez to the Chicago Cubs to complete the trade that brought right-hander Matt Garza to Texas last month.

The deal was completed Friday, after the Cubs had claimed Ramirez off waivers. The pitcher was assigned to Double-A Tennessee.

Ramirez led the Double-A Texas League with 127 strikeouts and was 9-3 with a 3.84 ERA in 21 starts for Frisco.

Texas previously sent right-handers C.J. Edwards and Justin Grimm, along with infielder Mike Olt, to the Cubs.

When Garza was acquired Garza on July 22, the deal called for the Rangers to send one or two more players to be named later to the Cubs.

Garza, who can become a free agent after the season, is 3-1 with a 4.32 ERA in six starts for Texas.

Steelers acquire running back PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers bolstered their injury-plagued backfield on Friday, acquiring running back Felix Jones from Philadelphia for linebacker Adrian Robinson.

The deal is pending each player passing a physical.

The 26-year-old Jones gives the Steelers needed depth at running back. Rookie Le’Veon Bell is out with a sprained right foot and is out indefinitely. Isaac Redman is dealing with a nerve injury and return specialist LaRod Stephens-Howling sat out last Monday’s preseason game against Washington with a sprained knee.

Jones was the 22nd overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys but never stayed healthy enough to become a feature back. He has rushed for 2,728 yards and 11 touchdowns in 64 games.

Capitals sign Grabovski to 1-year, $3M deal ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — The Washington Capitals have signed Mikhail Grabovski to a one-year, $3 million contract, giving the team another candidate for second-line center after the departure of Mike Ribeiro.

The Capitals announced the deal Friday.

The 29-year-old Grabovski spent the last five seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He had career-highs with 29 goals and 29 assists in 2010-11. Last year his production slipped to nine goals and seven assists, and the Maple Leafs bought out his contract last month.

Ribeiro was second on the Capitals with 49 points last season, but he signed a free agent deal last month with the Phoenix Coyotes.

West Texas A&M relieves winningest coach of duties CANYON, Texas (AP) — West Texas A&M has relieved head football coach Don Carthel of his duties, cutting ties with its winningest coach on the threshold of a new season.

A university statement offered no explanation for the change. However, athletic director Michael McBroom told the Amarillo Globe-News that Carthel violated rules against providing an NCAA investigation with false or misleading information.

Carthel took a program that had won seven games in four years before his arrival to eight winning seasons, a 79-22 record, six Division II playoffs and five Lone Star Conference titles. Last season, the Buffaloes reeled off a 12-3 record.

Indiana cantaloupe crop rebounding from 2012 scare EVANSVILLE (AP) — Over the past two seasons cantaloupe growers have been hit by outbreaks of illnesses among consumers that were blamed on bacterial contaminations associated with the melons that cast a pall over the entire industry. But this year the growers are hitting back with a homegrown food safety initiative.

In 2011, 146 people became ill in a listeria outbreak traced to a Colorado cantaloupe grower, Jensen Farms.

Closer to home, last summer, Chamberlain Farms in Gibson County was identified as the source of a salmonella outbreak that sickened 261 people in 24 states.

In response to those two incidents, a group of cantaloupe farmers — including some in the Tri-State — has formed the Eastern Cantaloupe Growers Association, which focuses on food safety practices, the Evansville Courier & Press reported this week.

Based in Georgia, the association got its start last fall, as growers got together to decide what they could do about the recent food safety problems.

“It was basically trying to restore consumer and buyer confidence in the cantaloupe market,” said the association’s executive director, Charles Hall.

As compared to other types of melons, Hall said, cantaloupes can be more prone to contamination because their outer surface is rough, or “netted.” This surface makes it easier for microbes to attach to the surface of the fruit, and harder to clean them off.

The organization was incorporated in January and now has about a dozen or so members from a handful of states: Indiana, Illinois, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina.

“That’s not a lot — but we only got started last year,” Hall said.

The group’s officers and directors include representatives from several Tri-State farms: Wayne County, Ill.-based Frey Farms, and Knox County, Ind.-based Melon Acres and Wonning Melon Farms.

Association members agree to abide by specific practices in the growing, harvesting, packing and transporting of cantaloupes. These practices are numerous and include things like testing water sources at least once a month; and avoiding the use of carpeting, wood or other porous surfaces that come into contact with the fruit.

Members also must undergo food safety audits, including one unannounced audit during packing season.

“There’s always a chance of some kind of outbreak happening, but the process that our growers are following are as good as you can get from that standpoint,” Hall said.

So how has this year’s cantaloupe season been?

Hall said he doesn’t have hard numbers, but believes the industry is rebounding from the past two rough years.

“The American public’s pretty forgiving,” Hall said.

Anecdotally, Hall said, he’s heard from some growers who said they planned to get out of the cantaloupe business.

August lawn care requires little effort, Purdue expert says WEST LAFAYETTE — Life moves slowly during the dog days of August and, coincidentally, it’s a time when lawns need little maintenance, according to Zac Reicher, Extension turfgrass specialist at Purdue University.

ELYSIA Although there is less RODGERS to be done, the yard work never disappears completely. Here are Reicher’s recommendations for what needs to be done for a healthy lawn in August:

that contains about 50 percent slow-release nitrogen. This is usually in a form such as sulfur or polymer-coated urea, urea formaldehyde, or natural organics.

“Even if you do nothing else for your lawn other than mow it, consider applying fertilizer in September,” Reicher said. “You’ll be surprised at the results this fall and next spring.“

Irrigation

To properly water a lawn, wet the upper 4 to 6 inches of the soil during each irrigation.

Watering early in the morning (between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m.) is most beneficial to the lawn and most efficient in terms of water use, Reicher said.

help ensure survival of the grass.“ On dormant lawns, Reicher said, it is important to avoid walking on the grass, because this may kill it. Also, a homeowner must decide whether to let the lawn go dormant or not. “Don’t let your lawn turn brown, and then water to turn it green, and then let it turn brown again,” Reicher said. “Either water enough to keep the lawn green or let it go dormant.”

Mowing In some parts of Indiana, ample rains have fallen and lawns continue to grow at a moderate pace, Reicher said.

In these areas, it is important to mow regularly so not more than one third of the grass leaf is cut at any one mowing.

“You are better off mowing too frequently than not frequently enough,” Reicher says.

In areas that have received too little rain, Reicher said, it is important to not mow turfgrass that is suffering from drought stress. “If you do, it will damage the crowns of turf plants and leave brown mower tracks well after the lawn greens up again,” he said.

During the hot summer days, it is best not to mow in the mid-afternoon when the lawn might be under drought stress. Rather, wait and mow

in the early evening or early morning during cool temperatures, which will minimize the stress on the turf.

Grub Control Grub damage often occurs in lawns in August, and most commonly it is found in lawns or areas that have had grub damage in the past. The small, white grubs are the larvae of Japanese beetles and masked chafers. If the lawn has more than four to six grubs per square foot, consider applying an insecticide in early August.

Be sure to water thoroughly after application to move the insecticide down to the grubs.

Reicher said there is also a nonchemical alternative to controlling the grubs. “If you find grubs but don’t want to apply an insecticide, irrigate more frequently to help the turfgrass outgrow the damage.

This should minimize the damage but probably won’t eliminate it,” he said.

California case on insurance could pact nation

steer judge, Chris Mullinix. Brumbaugh was also recognized at the 2013 Indiana State Fair celebration awards ceremony, presented by Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, on Aug. 10, where he received a check fo $10,000. Teegan is a nine-year 4-H member and a senior at Churubusco High School where he is active in FFA and football.

Care Act, which will require hundreds of thousands of field workers to be covered by health insurance.

And while the requirement to cover workers was recently delayed until 2015, the contractors, who provide farmers with armies of field workers, say they are already preparing for the potential cost, inconvenience, and liability the new law will bring to their business, which typically operates on a slender profit margin.

“I’ve been to at least a dozen seminars on the Affordable Care Act since February,” said Chuck Herrin, owner of Sunrise Farm Labor, a contractor based here. “If you don’t take the right approach, you’re wiped out.”

The effects of the new law could be profound. Insurance brokers and health providers familiar with California’s $43.5 billion agricultural industry estimate that meeting the law’s minimum health plan will cost about $1 per hour per employee worked in the field.

“Everybody is afraid of the cost,” said J. Edward McClements, Jr., a senior vice president at Barkley Insurance and Risk Management, based in Oxnard, about 60 miles west of Los Angeles. “It’s difficult when you’ve got 1,000 workers who’ve never had health

insurance before, to get an idea of what their costs will be.”

The concern is felt from vineyards in Napa County to the almond orchards outside Coalinga, a Central Valley town best known for its state prison and mental hospital.

Farm labor contractors generally rely on a 2 percent profit, and they say they will have to pass the added health care costs required by the new law on to growers. Mr. Herrin, who can employ up to 2,000 farmworkers — many of them long-time employees — has been warning his customers of the coming price increase due to health insurance costs.

“It’s made for some heated battles,” Mr. Herrin said, of his talks with growers who include his father-in-law, the owner of a Central Valley farm.

Some farmers seem resigned to higher labor costs, and to the fact that that increase will be passed on to the consumers of everything from leafy greens to crunchy nuts. “That cost is going to be borne by us at the end of the day,” said Scott Deardorff, a partner at Oxnard-based Deardorff Family Farms, which grows strawberries, cauliflower and chard, among other salad bar staples.

Across the country,

employers in many other kinds of businesses are devising strategies to comply with or, in some cases, sidestep a new requirement to provide insurance for those who work 30 hours or more. Some are breaking their businesses into smaller companies, for instance, or even laying off workers. Some companies plan to shift workers to part-time status.

But in the vast, fertile fields of California’s Central Valley, farmers and the contractors who supply them with work crews must prune, pick and pack produce when it is ready, nearly year round. Ripe cantaloupe will not wait.

“You can’t put your ag workers on a 28-hour work week like Starbucks, Denny’s and Wal-Mart are considering,” said Mr. McClements.

California farmers produce half of all fruits, nuts and vegetables grown in the nation, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. But Guadalupe Sandoval, executive director of the California Farm Labor Contractor Association, said the state’s farmers must compete for supermarket shelf space against agricultural producers worldwide, most of whom are not paying for worker health care.

Briefs • Manning’s gender transition sets up legal showdown

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bradley Manning is the first transgender military inmate to ask for hormone treatments, officials say, a request that could lead to a legal showdown over how — and if — the soldier convicted in the WikiLeaks case will be allowed to live as a female behind bars.

Current Pentagon policy dictates that transgender soldiers are not allowed to serve, and Manning won’t be discharged until being released from prison and all appeals are exhausted.

Furthermore, the military does not allow soldiers to undergo hormone treatments while in the all-male prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. — though this is the first time officials have heard of a request for such treatment, said Maria Tolleson, a spokeswoman with the Army Medical Command in Arlington, Va. “We’re just now dealing with the issue,” she said, adding it would be premature to say there has been any movement toward offering the care to all transgender inmates as a result of Manning’s case.

Russia to Syria: Cooperate with U.N. BEIRUT (AP) — Russia on Friday added its diplomatic weight to demands for a swift probe into an alleged chemical weapons attack that has injected new vigor into calls for international military action in Syria’s civil war.

The U.S., Britain, France and other countries have pressed for a team of United Nations inspectors already in Syria to be granted immediate access to the sites of Wednesday’s purported gas attack that activists say killed more than 130 people.

In an attempt to push things along, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is

dispatching his disarmament chief to Damascus to press President Bashar Assad’s regime to agree to an investigation.

Timing is vital, experts say, because the more time passes, the harder it is to detect what chemicals — if any — were used.

Immediate access also would allow inspectors to collect blood and soil samples themselves and safeguard the chain of custody of and the integrity of the investigation.

But in the chaos and violence of Syria’s civil war, safe passage to the eastern Damascus suburbs

in question would be difficult.

That was made clear on Friday, as government artillery on the Qassioun plateau overlooking Damascus pounded those suburbs in the heaviest strikes in days. Booms from the artillery echoed over the city every few minutes, along with several rounds of rocket fire that raised flashes of light from the suburbs. At times, three or four plumes of smoke could be seen billowing on the horizon.

Syrian opposition figures and activists have reported death tolls from Wednesday’s attack ranging from

Lawyers settle Deen lawsuit

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Lawyers signed a deal Friday to drop a discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit against celebrity cook Paula Deen, who was dropped by the Food Deen Network and other business partners after she said under oath that she had used racial slurs in the past.

A document filed in U.S. District Court in Savannah said both sides agreed to drop the lawsuit “without any award of costs or fees to any party.” No other details of the agreement were released. The judge in the case had not signed an order to finalize the dismissal.

Former employee Lisa Jackson last year sued Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, saying she suffered from sexual harassment and racially offensive talk and employment practices that were unfair to black workers during her five years as a manager of Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House.

Lovato set for ‘Glee’ appearances NEW YORK (AP) — Demi Lovato is taking her big voice to “Glee.”

The 21-year-old singer-actress will appear in multiple episodes of the show’s upcoming fifth season, her publicist Lovato confirmed Friday.

“Glee” star Lea Michele tweeted Thursday that she was excited that two of her “very best friends” — Lovato and Broadway vet Phoebe Strole — would appear on the Fox show, and thanked creator Ryan Murphy for making it happen.

136 to 1,300. If confirmed, even the most conservative tally would make it the deadliest alleged chemical attack in Syria’s civil war.

The Assad regime has denied the allegations, calling them “absolutely baseless” and accusing the opposition of staging the whole affair to smear the government and provoke outside intervention.

Russia, which is a close ally of Damascus and its most powerful protector on the international stage, also has suggested the opposition of staging the attack to discredit the regime. But on Friday, Moscow also called

on both sides of the conflict to facilitate an investigation.

“Russia immediately contacted the Syrian government asking them to cooperate with U.N. experts,” the Foreign Ministry in Moscow said in a statement. “It is now a matter for the opposition, which should guarantee safe access of the mission to the supposed location of the incident.”

In Istanbul, Syria’s main Western-backed opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, insisted it could guarantee the inspectors’ safety in the territory it holds.

The clashes between the Ahle Sunnat Waljamaat members and the Shiites happened in the town of Bhakkar in Punjab province, police official Abdullah Khan said. The conflict followed a protest rally held by the Sunnis after one of their members was gunned down while closing his shop. People were killed on both sides, Khan said.

Egypt’s pro-Morsi rallies smaller CAIRO (AP) — Supporters of Egypt’s deposed president, who once overwhelmed cities in the hundreds of thousands, changed tactics Friday by demonstrating in scattered, small rallies that avoided confronting a heavy military deployment waiting for them across the country.

The low turnout signaled the strain on ousted leader Mohammed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, as it has trouble drawing large numbers of supporters and faces an increasingly skeptical Egyptian public wary of more bloodshed like that which followed the July 3 military coup that overthrew him. Meanwhile, an intense security crackdown by the military-backed interim government has rounded up much of its leadership.

The Brotherhood has “committed a strategic error last week by mixing peaceful

protests with armed clashes with civilians,” said Abdullah el-Sinawi, an Egyptian newspaper columnist and analyst. “Many supporters are now staying away fearing that new civilian-on-civilian clashes will erupt.”

Morsi supporters dubbed the day the “Friday of Martyrs,” in reference to the several hundred people that died in clashes with Egypt’s military during raids on street camps this month. Last Friday, vigilantes at neighborhood checkpoints battled Morsi supporters across the capital in unprecedented clashes between residents that killed more than 170 people, including dozens of police officers.

Ahead of the protests, soldiers in armored personnel carriers and tanks deployed early Friday across the country on major roads and plazas to stop demonstrators from gathering. But after Friday prayers, Cairo and

the rest of Egypt did not see massive crowds on the streets. Instead, small groups of Islamists in the hundreds chanted against the military and held up posters of Morsi on side streets and outside neighborhood mosques.

Thousands marched through the streets of Cairo’s Nasr City district. Some chanted: “We are willing to sacrifice our lives” and “We promise the martyrs that we will end military rule.”

Mohamed Ahmed, a Morsi supporter, insisted the movement against what the Brotherhood calls an “illegitimate” coup would continue.

“Everybody knows there could be a bloodbath. But as long as we are fighting for our rights, with God’s will, we will win,” he said as he joined protesters gathering outside a mosque following prayers in Giza, a satellite city of Cairo and home to the famous Pyramids.

Microsoft CEO to retire in 12 months NEW YORK (AP) — Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who took over the helm of the world’s largest software company from founder Bill Gates, will retire within the next 12 months.

Microsoft Ballmer Corp. did not name a successor. The company said it is forming a search committee, which will include Gates, and Ballmer will stay on until a replacement is found.

“There is never a perfect time for this type of transition, but now is the right time,” Ballmer said in a statement released by the Redmond, Wash., company.

Microsoft shares shot up 8 percent in morning trading following the news.

It’s been less than two months since Microsoft announced a sweeping reorganization of its business in an attempt to reignite competition with fastermoving rivals such as Apple and Google.

Response to the newest version of Microsoft’s flagship Windows operating system has been lukewarm.

And Microsoft, along with other companies that thrived in the era of personal computers, are scrambling to transform their businesses as people come to rely more and more on smartphones and tablets.

In his statement, Ballmer noted that the company is moving in a new direction and needs a CEO that will be there for the longer term.

Microsoft, he added, “has

all its best days ahead.”

Ballmer, 57, met Microsoft founder Bill Gates in 1973 while they were living down a dormitory hall from each other at Harvard University. He joined Microsoft in 1980 to bring some business discipline and salesmanship to a company that had just landed a contract to supply an operating system for a personal computer that IBM would release in 1981.

8th Annual

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash.

(AP) — The U.S. soldier who massacred 16 Afghan civilians last year in one of the worst atrocities of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was sentenced Friday to life in prison with no chance of parole — the most severe sentence possible, but one that left surviving victims and relatives of the dead deeply unsatisfied.

“We wanted this murderer to be executed,” said Hajji Mohammad Wazir, who lost 11 family members in the attack by Staff Sgt. Robert Bales.

“We were brought all the way from Afghanistan to see if justice would be served. Not our way — justice was served the American way.”

Bales, 40, pleaded guilty in June in a deal to avoid the death penalty for his March 11, 2012, raids near his remote outpost in Kandahar province, when he stalked through mud-walled compounds and shot 22 people — 17 of them women and children. Some screamed for mercy, while others didn’t even have a chance to get out of bed.

The soldier showed no emotion as the sentence was announced at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, south of Seattle.

His mother, sitting in the front row of the court, bowed her head, rocked in her seat, and wept.

An interpreter flashed a thumbs-up sign to a row of Afghan villagers who were either wounded or lost family members in the March 11, 2012, attacks.

“I saw his mother trying to cry, but at least she can go visit him,” Hajji Mohammad Naim, who was shot in the neck, said after the sentencing. “What about us? Our family members are actually 6 feet under.”

Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization www.HoosiersFeedingtheHungry.org Treesh@HoosiersFeedingtheHungry.org

The villagers, who traveled nearly 7,000 miles to testify against Bales, spoke with reporters and asked through an interpreter what it would be like for someone to break into American homes and slaughter their families.

Bales never offered an explanation for why he armed himself with a 9 mm pistol and an M-4 rifle and left his post on the killing mission, but he apologized on the witness stand Thursday and described the slaughter as an “act of cowardice, behind a mask of fear, bulls—- and bravado.”

The six-member jury weighing whether he would be eligible for parole after 20 years took about 90 minutes to decide the case in favor of prosecutors who described Bales as a “man of no moral compass.”

“In just a few short hours, Sgt. Bales wiped out generations,” Lt. Col. Jay Morse told the jury in his closing argument. “Sgt. Bales dares to ask you for mercy when he has shown none.”

A commanding general overseeing the court-martial has the option of reducing the sentence to life with the possibility of parole.

Defense attorney Emma Scanlan argued for the lighter sentence, begging jurors to consider her client’s prior life and years of good military service and suggested he snapped under the weight of his fourth combat deployment. She read from a letter Bales sent to his two children 10 weeks before the killing: “The children here are a lot like you.

They like to eat candy and play soccer. They all know me because I juggle rocks for them.”

“These aren’t the words of a cold-blooded murderer,” Scanlan said.

Future stepkids’ actions spell trouble for woman DEAR ABBY: I am in my late 20s and have been with my boyfriend for more than two years. We are serious, having lived together for a year, and we discuss marriage often. We make all our major decisions and purchases together and are generally very happy.

The problem arises when his children from a previous relationship are around (he shares custody with his ex).

I am overwhelmed by them.

They are very needy and have some minor manner problems. I am uncomfortable with all the attention they demand of me. They are literally always in my space, trying to sit on my lap or show me something, etc.

It gets to the point where I just want to get away.

Sometimes they’re OK and we have some fun, but it’s the downtime at home that is annoying.

Teens shouldn’t sleep in on the weekends deficit, but it creates a bigger problem: It shifts your teen’s inner clock further away from the external clock. That “inner clock” is kept in your brain.

Your brain recognizes sunrise and sends signals throughout your body ASK that prepares DOCTOR K. it to awaken and start functioning.

Dr. Anthony Sunset does the opposite: hours Komaroff Aaftfew er sunset, your body’s inner clock starts to power down.

In teenagers, the body clock is somewhat different from what it will be when they become adults.

The clock starts to power

•

down the body at a later hour, and it also starts to power up the body at a later hour. That’s why so many teens have trouble waking up in the morning.

So your son’s body clock naturally causes him to fall asleep later and to get up later. When your son stays up even later than his body clock wants him to, to finish homework or to chat with his friends on Facebook, he is exaggerating the natural time shift of his body clock.

On top of that, by sleeping late on weekends, your son is exaggerating that time shift even further. He is experiencing the equivalent of a five-hour jet lag when it’s time to get up on Monday morning. The alarm clock may be saying 6 a.m., but his inner clock is reading 1 a.m. This will make it much harder for your teen to wake up, and to concentrate during the first hours at

Almanac •

DEAR DOCTOR K: My teenage son likes to sleep in on weekends, often until noon. Is that OK? DEAR READER: I’ve been asked this question by nearly every parent of teenagers I know. I checked with my Harvard Medical School colleague, pediatrician Dennis Rosen, who confirmed what I’ve been saying: Letting your son sleep in on weekends isn’t doing him any favors.

Teenagers should get nine hours of sleep per night.

Most teens don’t, especially during the school week.

Instead, they stay up late to finish school work, take part in extracurricular activities and spend time with friends.

As a result, they struggle to wake up on time for school.

A few days of this, and they’ve built up a significant sleep deficit.

Sleeping late on Saturday and Sunday may fill that

this, but I need some advice because the kids are obviously not going away.

Will they grow out of this?

It’s making me question if I can remain in the relationship. — BOTHERED IN BUFFALO DEAR BOTHERED: You need an attitude adjustment. I don’t think you realize what a compliment it is that the children compete for your attention DEAR and want to ABBY be close to you. A way to deal with could be Jeanne Phillips this to arrange to have one-on-one time with EACH child while your

school. Over time, it can also significantly affect his mood.

As far as possible on weekends, try not to let your son sleep in more than an hour beyond his usual wake-up time. Here are some things you can do to get your teen out of bed: • Turn on all the lights in the bedroom and open the shades and curtains. Nothing says “wake up” more than bright light.

• Set an alarm clock across the room and out of reach from your son’s bed.

• Plan a morning outing with him.

In addition, don’t let him nap during the day. Napping will make it harder for him to fall asleep at night, which will make it harder to wake up the next morning.
