Where the wild things are

GOOD MORNING Hunter fatally shot by another near Kokomo KOKOMO (AP) — Authorities say a central Indiana man has been fatally shot in an apparent hunting accident.

The Howard County Sheriff’s Department says 28-year-old Joseph Steele of rural Kokomo was shot in the chest Saturday evening and died a short time later.

Capt. Greg Hargrove says witnesses told investigators that Steele had been hunting with family members in woods near his home west of Kokomo when the group split up and others lost sight of the victim. One of the hunters fired at what was believed to be a squirrel, only to hear Steele cry out that he had been shot. He was able to talk to others before losing consciousness.

Trooper arrested after restaurant disturbance FISHERS (AP) — An Indiana State Police officer who allegedly waved a gun inside a central Indiana restaurant faces preliminary charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement and criminal recklessness with a weapon.

Thirty-year-old Christopher Dyer was being held on $10,000 bond Sunday at the Hamilton County Jail in Noblesville.

Police were called to the restaurant shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday. They located Dyer nearby walking along a road. Fishers police spokesman Tom Weger tells The Indianapolis Star that Dyer had a blood-alcohol level of 0.27 percent.

An Indiana State police spokesman says Dyer had been assigned to road patrol duty at the Evansville post but he’ll be placed on administrative duties and face an internal investigation.

LAGRANGE — Scott Beam isn’t above putting on a silly hat, or a cowboy hat, or a pioneer hat, just to draw a little attention to himself.

But there is a method to his madness.

Beam, the resident interpretive naturalist with the LaGrange County Parks Department, is trying to create a teaching moment, a lesson he feels a visitor to a LaGrange County park, most often a child, might benefit from knowing.

“I didn’t go to college to be a teacher, but learned a long time ago, I am a teacher,” he explained.

It is a job Beam relishes.

“To be an interpretive naturalist is to make the realms of the natural world understandable,

thought-provoking, and connected to our own thoughts and hearts,” Beam said. “Education programs do claim the bulk of my time. But the beauty of being a naturalist is that I get to be so much more. I get to do habitat management and preservation. I get to be a writer.

I get to be a scientist. Above all, I still get to be a student.”

Beam, a native Hoosier, earned a college degree in American history. He came to the LaGrange County Parks Department in 1992 after spending three years working as a naturalist in northern Michigan at the Au Sable Institute.

KENDALLVILLE — A Butler woman died Sunday as a result of injuries she received in a single-vehicle accident Saturday, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department said.

Susan Allen, 52, of Butler was pronounced dead at about 2 a.m.

Sunday at Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne, from injuries she sustained in a motorcycle crash on S.R. 8 near C.R. 600E Saturday at about 6 p.m., said Noble County sheriff’s Deputy Lesley Fox. A motorcycle driven by Jack Allen, 49, of Butler — Susan Allen’s husband — was eastbound on S.R. 8 behind a pickup pulling a trailer, Fox said.

The pickup started to turn in to a driveway just over a rise in the road, which was obscured from Jack Allen’s view, Fox said. He came over the rise and tried to stop, but the motorcycle’s brakes locked up. He laid the motorcycle down, and Susan was ejected.

The motorcycle was at first believed to have struck either the pickup or trailer, but actually struck neither, Fox said.

Susan Allen was transported by Noble County EMS to Parkview Regional, Fox said. Jack Allen suffered minor injuries, and rode with Susan to the hospital.

Fremont Schools going full steam ahead

BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

FREMONT — To go along with the excitement of the start of 2013-14 classes Friday, Fremont Community Schools are gearing up to continue $4 million in building renovations.

Fremont Superintendent Lori Vaughn reported the first day of school went smoothly with no issues.

The corporation is anticipating more building improvements.

At Monday’s Fremont Community Schools Board of Education meeting, a project hearing will be held on proposed renovations.

As the completion of the first phase of $2 million in renovations comes to a close, the corporation is preparing to start the second

phase — another $2 million worth of building improvements.

“The majority of the work has been completed. We are anxious and will monitor very closing our energy cost savings.

Several students and teachers commented on how much brighter the hallways and classrooms appear — again part of our energy savings program,” Vaughn said.

Richard Wirtz, Fremont Schools business manager, said EMCOR C. of Indianapolis conducted an energy study on the school corporation.

Once its recommendations are implemented, it’s estimated the corporation could save an average of $200,000-$300,000 annually.

“The first part, we replaced air conditioning in buildings, changed out classroom lighting in the high

school and elementary,” Wirtz said.

In addition, the district will be receiving energy controls for heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

The first phase cost some $1.9 million and will be paid for by a $2 million bond issue.

“At this moment, the work’s not all done. They have the inside done, because school’s open” and installing the HVAC control is ongoing, as Wirtz said it needs to be adjusted for optimum operation.

He said, “The time is right. That equipment and buildings are aging.”

In the second phase, which also will cost an estimated $2 million, Wirtz said the corporation is proposing several projects.

• The Fremont Middle School

roof will be repaired at a cost of $500,000 “just to bring it up to specifications,” Wirtz said.

• Even though Fremont elementary and high schools are connected, the district may decide to repair the elementary building’s roof at a cost of $300,000.

• The parking lot behind Fremont High School by the bus garage will be paved at a cost of $100,000.

• Some doors and windows will be replaced for $450,000.

• The tennis courts and football field track will be resurfaced with a $175,000 price tag.

With engineering, the second phase total is close to $2 million.

“Once bonds are sold and once it’s out to bid, it could be less,” Wirtz said.

$100,000 grant will help teen parent center

BY GRACE HOUSHOLDER ghousholder@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Ten years of work by staff and volunteers at Life and Family Services has resulted in a $100,000 grant for its endowment fund.

The Dekko Foundation last week awarded a $100,000 Model of Organizational Sustainability and Effectiveness grant to the Teen Parent Early Learning Center, a program of Life and Family Services.

The $100,000 must remain in the endowment and cannot be spent. However, the interest earned each year will be used for the Teen Parent Early Learning Center’s operating expenses. Building a strong endowment fund increases the nonprofit’s solid financial footing, said Donna Conrad, executive director of LFS. Carol Blackman, the former director of the TPELC, worked on the grant for the first eight years. “This grant means that high school and single college students have scholarship support so that they can afford the best care for their child while they complete their education,” Blackman said. “What a wonderful opportunity for our childcare and our community!”

The center has been state-licensed, nationally accredited, and at the highest level of Paths to Quality (a state rating system for child care centers) for a number of years. Ten years SEE TEEN, PAGE A6

Swallows, well known and not well known Swallows, here today, gone tomorrow, or it seemed toward the end of July this year. Dozens of tree swallows gathered and perched on the power lines across the road from our marsh every afternoon during July. Every afternoon, that is, until one day almost the end of the month. That day no swallows came to perch on the wires across from our marsh.

They were gone, every one.

Swallows are early fall migrants.

But I don’t NEIL CASE remember ever seeing such an abrupt disappearance of swallows nor of their departure being that early.

It was late summer not even into fall. I’d been watching the tree swallows.

They were so numerous, so conspicuous. But after they were gone, I realized I wasn’t seeing any other swallows, either. There were no barn swallows or cliff swallows circling over our pasture and hay field during the day. Both had nested at our barn, one on the inside, the other under the eaves outside. There weren’t any bank or rough-winged swallows around the old gravel pit south of us either, though those had both nested there.

I didn’t think about the disappearance of the

swallows except to note it as an early sign of the coming fall. But then one day this month I was walking in our pasture and suddenly realized there were swallows circling overhead.

They were barn swallows, all that I could identify as they swirled about. But they were the first swallows I had seen in two weeks. Now they’re gone again.

Swallows are well known, and yet they are not well known. Everybody who recognizes a robin or a sparrow recognizes a swallow. But how many people know that the purple martin is a swallow and that the chimney swift is not?

Asked to describe a swallow, most people would say they are small and slender with long, pointed wings, little bills, short legs and small feet. They would also say a swallow has long outer tail feathers giving them a forked tail, a swallow tail. Yet the only swallow with a swallow tail is the barn swallow.

Tree, cliff, bank, northern rough-winged, and the western violet-green and cave swallows all have notched tails, not forked.

Swallows’ bills are short, stubby, but they are broad. Swallows fly with their bills wide open, mouths like wide scoops, and with those scoops they catch mosquitoes and other insects as they fly.

Swallows are flying insect traps, which is well known and makes them popular birds. To feed young

swallows in the nest, adult swallows regurgitate a soup of mucous and partially digested insects and pour it into the mouths of the nestlings.

Two species of swallows, bank and northern rough-winged, use their little bills and feet to dig tunnel as much as 3 feet deep into banks, then build their nests at the ends of the tunnels. As a boy, I liked to stand on the bank of the river near my home and watch bank and northern rough-winged swallows swoop in and out beneath me.

copies of “The Last Best Hope” in classrooms.

“This is excellent to hear … now someone make my day and tell me that his book is becoming the textbook of choice in our state and I’ll buy beers for everyone,” he wrote in a Jan. 27, 2010, email to then-schools chief Tony Bennett, Bennett’s former chief of staff, Todd Huston, and David Shane, a longtime Daniels colleague, Republican donor and school board member.

Bill Bennett has a strong national following, dating from his time as Ronald Reagan’s education secretary. And he’s been an incredibly popular figure in Daniels’ circle of education reformers. Last summer, Tony Bennett looked to national donor Jerry Slusser to fly Bennett to a fundraiser in Jeffersonville.

“I just spoke to Bill Bennett, and he would be happy to come to Jeff to do our reception after the golf outing. We will need to get him here and home (he will be in NC prior to our event).

I was wondering if we should see if Jerry Slusser can fly him here and back to DC,” the schools chief wrote on June 15, 2012, in an email to his chief fundraiser, Julie Southworth.

She replied that getting Slusser to fly Bill Bennett to the Aug. 14 fundraiser shouldn’t be a problem.

Slusser, a Republican donor charged $600,000 by federal regulators for defrauding German investors in the late ’90s, owns an aviation company.

A little more than a week after Daniels asked how to get Bill Bennett’s texts in schools, he wrote an exchange dubbing Zinn “anti-American” and looked for ways to “disqualify the propaganda” he said was being used in teacher preparation courses.

day and roosting at night in the cattails of a marsh or in dense shrubbery or trees. Gathering on power lines or tree branches, then dropping into cattails at dusk led at one time to the misconception that swallows burrowed into to mud and hibernated through the winter.

One other misconception about swallows, that their spring migration is precisely timed. An example, the swallows returning to the mission at San Juan Capistrano on March 19 every year.

The travels of swallows, including those to San Juan, like the travels of robins and other migrants, are stimulated by day length and altered by weather, and in the case of swallows also by the hatching of insects.

Daniels declined comment for this story. He told WLFI-TV last week that he never meant to trample anyone’s academic freedom. He declined to answer questions about Tony Bennett’s resignation as Florida schools chief following an Associated Press report showing Bennett and his staff changed Indiana’s school grading formula to benefit a charter school run by a prominent Republican donor.

At a glance, history texts, known as much for their dry and plodding language as the broad strokes used to recount the past, might not seem ripe for political warring. But Sam Wineburg, a Stanford University professor who trains history teachers, said there have always been fights over whose version of history is taught to students.

“Textbooks are important not because kids learn anything from them, but it our nation’s public record, our ‘official’ history,” Wineburg wrote in an email.

Wineburg has been critical of Zinn for misrepresenting certain key events in American history , but he has also lambasted Daniels for misrepresenting his statements in the days after the 2010 emails were first released last month.

The answer, as he pointed in a 2007 Education Week piece, would ideally be ditching history texts altogether, because they inherently present a biased view of history. But, given that most teachers have very little in the way of education supplies to begin with, critically analyzing the textbooks they have is the more practical answer.

If Zinn’s book were taught alongside Bill Bennett’s, perhaps they would both get proper scrutiny in that model.

Woman escapes serious injury in car-train crash

BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

BUTLER — A Garrett woman received only minor injuries when a car was struck by a train early Sunday, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department said.

Jason Freeman, 27, of 1100 block of C.R. 54, Garrett, was eastbound in the 5300 block of U.S. 6 before 3:15 a.m. when he swerved his 2004 Chevy Impala to avoid a deer. He lost control of the car, which traveled off the road about 150 feet and became stuck on the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks.

Freeman tried to free

the car from the tracks, but couldn’t. He and his passenger, Jessica Corbin, 28, of the 700 block of East King Street, Garrett, exited the vehicle and stood close by as a train struck the car about one to two minutes later.

Corbin was struck by flying debris and suffered injuries to her right arm and leg. She was transported to DeKalb Health for treatment. No other injuries were reported.

Assisting at the scene were the Butler Police Department and Fire-Rescue, and DeKalb EMS.

Teens charged in slayings met in state mental hospital CORYDON (AP) — Two southern Indiana teens charged in the brutal slayings of a Harrison County couple met less than two months ago while both were being treated at a psychiatric hospital, a report published Sunday said.

Austin Scott of New Albany and Kevin Andrew Schuler of Greenville, both 18, met at Wellstone Regional Hospital in Jeffersonville, Scott’s aunt, Shannon Graham, told The (Louisville, Ky.) CourierJournal.

Scott was being treated for depression and Schuler

for drug addiction, Graham said.

Schuler had been charged with heroin possession in late June, the newspaper reported.

When the two were released from Wellstone, instead of staying with relatives in New Albany, Scott stayed with Schuler’s family about 15 miles away in rural western Floyd County, where the two swam, fished and went four-wheeling.

Graham texted Schuler’s mother, Toni NicholsSchuler, asking if Scott would be safe there.

Drunken boating remains problem on Great Lakes TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a serious problem on the Great Lakes even though the number of pilots busted for intoxication is down from a decade ago, the U.S. Coast Guard says.

Agency personnel stationed on the five lakes had issued 89 citations for drunken boating this year through Aug. 13, said Lt. Davey Connor, spokesman for the Coast Guard’s 9th District office in Cleveland.

That’s up from 84 during the same period a year ago but still an improvement from 2005, when the number had reached 262 by the same

date. “Not only is boating under the influence just as illegal as driving under the influence, it’s just as dangerous,� said Cmdr.

David Beck, chief of the district’s enforcement branch. “If you plan to consume alcohol, plan ahead and have a sober operator return you home safely.�

Alcohol use is a leading cause of fatal boating accidents, the Coast Guard says.

It’s not illegal to drink on the Great Lakes, but vessel operators are expected to remain clear-headed. The legal threshold for impaired boating in most of the

region’s eight states is a blood-alcohol content of .08 percent, the same as for driving a motor vehicle.

But many people don’t realize that a boat’s rocking motion, engine vibration and noise — along with sun and wind — can intensify the effects of alcohol, Connor said. A boat operator probably will become impaired more quickly than an automobile driver after consuming the same amount, he said.

The Coast Guard doesn’t set up checkpoints as law enforcement agencies sometimes do on roads, said Lt. Andy Perodeau of the enforcement branch.

But officers look for signs of intoxicated pilots during routine inspections, when they check vessels to make sure they have equipment such as life jackets and seasonal flares. They also spot vessels operating erratically and receive tips from other boaters.

Guard personnel have conducted 10,200 recreational vessel boardings in the Great Lakes this season, a typical number.

About 1 percent of the checks have produced a citation for boating under the influence. It may seem like a small number but it’s likely that other violators aren’t being caught, Connor

said.

In May, a team from Station Marblehead in Ohio boarded a boat with 12 people aboard near Kelleys Island in Lake Erie. The operator had a blood-alcohol level of .112 percent and none of the passengers was sober enough to take the wheel, so the entire group was escorted to shore, the 9th District reported on its blog.

Penalties for violations range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on circumstances such as negligent handling of the watercraft and repeat offenses. A conviction also could boost insurance

premiums and result in revocation of credentials for licensed mariners.

The number of citations in the Great Lakes has fluctuated over the past decade. In 2001, the total was 105 as of Aug. 13.

After peaking at 262 during the same period in 2005, it dropped steadily and bottomed out at 53 in 2010.

But the numbers have jumped since then, and Coast Guard officials aren’t sure why. “We try to wrap our heads daily around why someone would think it’s OK to operate a vessel under the influence,�

Perodeau said.

Assisted suicide case draws attention PHILADELPHIA (AP) — No one may ever know Barbara Mancini’s intentions when she allegedly handed her dying 93-year-old father a bottle of morphine at his central Pennsylvania home.

Did she want to relieve his pain? Help him end his life? Both?

Joe Yourshaw died four days later at a hospital.

That was after a hospice nurse making a call to check on Yourshaw arrived at the home a short time later and called 911, despite a “Do Not Resuscitate� order. In the interim, Yourshaw was given a drug antidote, awoke agitated over his hospitalization, and became upset when told his daughter might be in trouble, according to Mancini’s supporters. “Don’t hurt Barbara,� he cried, according to Compassion & Choices, a Denver-based group that supports “death with dignity� laws and has advocated for Mancini since her arrest in June.

A trim, silver-haired hospital nurse from Philadelphia, she is just the latest person caught in the crosshairs of the nation’s assisted-suicide debate.

While Oregon, Washington, Montana and Vermont allow at least some types of assisted suicide, and another half-dozen states have considered it, most states ban the practice, and a small number of people are prosecuted in the U.S. each year. “She told me that her father wanted to die and she gave him the morphine,� Pottsville Police Capt. Steve Durkin testified at Mancini’s preliminary hearing this month, when a judge in Schuylkill County upheld the assisted suicide charge.

Mancini, a 57-yearold wife, mother and daughter is now heading

for trial, while supporters attack state Attorney General Kathleen Kane for pursuing the case.

Yourshaw suffered from end-stage diabetes and heart problems before he died in February. “This chilling precedent could impact tens of millions of baby boomers

caring for their aging and dying parents,� Compassion & Choices said in a news release.

If her case plays out like most, a judge or jury will sympathize with Mancini, and she will get probation or community service, according to medical ethicist Art Caplan.

BEIJING (AP) — Disgraced Chinese politician Bo Xilai goes on trial Thursday on corruption charges in a case crafted to minimize damage to the Communist Party and avoid exposure of party infighting or human rights abuses.

Sunday’s announcement of a trial date for the former rising political star puts China’s new leaders on track to wrap up a festering scandal as they try to cement their authority.

The former party secretary of the major city of Chongqing fell from power last year in China’s messiest scandal in decades.

It exposed the murder of a British businessman by Bo’s wife and a thwarted defection bid by his former police chief.

Bo will stand trial in the Intermediate People’s Court of the eastern city of Jinan on charges of taking bribes, embezzlement and abuse of power, said a one-sentence announcement on the court’s microblog account.

The announcement was also carried by the official Xinhua News Agency.

Most trials in China last less than one day and Bo, 64, is almost certain to be convicted.

Bo’s downfall followed a failed defection attempt by his police chief at a U.S. consulate, which embarrassed Chinese leaders. The chief exposed a litany of complaints against

from the once-a-decade handover of power that began last November.

Holding his trial now means the new leadership can wrap up the scandal before they head into a party meeting later this year that is meant to produce a blueprint for China’s economic development.

The outcomes of criminal cases against senior figures such as Bo are usually decided in advance in secret negotiations aimed at securing the defendant’s cooperation. Bo is only the third politician at Politburo level to be tried on graft charges in recent decades. “When the indictment was finally announced, it meant that some sort of agreement was reached between the Politburo’s Central Committee and Bo Xilai,� said Zhang Sizhi, an eminent lawyer who has represented many defendants in high-profile political cases.

Bo’s wife, Gu Kailai, received a suspended death sentence last year after confessing to poisoning a British businessman, Neil Heywood. Such sentences usually are converted to long prison terms if a convict is deemed to have repented.

The party also wants to present a spectacle of justice for the Chinese public and a warning to ambitious politicians not to defy the central leadership.

Bo that gave political rivals ammunition to attack him.

Bo, the son of a revolutionary leader, was a member of the party’s 25-member Politburo. But he alienated other party leaders by aggressively promoting his personal image and launched campaigns in Chongqing that invoked the radical era of the 1960s and ’70s.

The charges against Bo appeared to be crafted to make him look like a rogue leader brought down by hubris and immorality. That would allow Chinese authorities to avoid questions about how the party’s unchecked power enabled Bo’s misconduct.

The court could avoid allegations of wiretapping conducted by his former top aide and the use of torture in an anti-crime crackdown.

Judges could avoid asking about asset seizures from Chongqing entrepreneurs. “These charges were tailor-made for Bo Xilai in view of the sentence that they want him to get,� said Zhang Lifan, a historian and political analyst in Beijing. “They decided how long they wanted to have Bo Xilai locked up for, and then according to that sentence, they made the appropriate charges,� Zhang said. “But these charges have left out a lot of things that he is responsible for.�

Bo’s case was the last major unfinished business

Cairo becomes battle zone CAIRO (AP) — Soldiers fired their rifles in the air to keep a crowd from attacking supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi as they were being taken, one by one, out of the Al-Fath mosque in Cairo where they had been besieged by security forces overnight.

One man in the crowd, however, was able to reach over the soldiers and strike a detained protester with a stick. Others chanted against Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood group.

The scene encapsulated the venomous mood in Cairo.

The streets of Egypt’s capital have become a deadly battleground between Morsi’s supporters and backers of the military that overthrew him. The crisis has severed friendships and, in some cases, turned neighbor against neighbor in the city of more than 18 million people.

More than 450 people have been killed in Cairo over the past four days, just over half the country’s nationwide death toll during the week of violence.

Hundreds of those victims died when Egyptian security forces attacked two pro-Morsi sit-ins in Cairo on Wednesday.

How events play out in Cairo could largely determine whether Egypt can step back from the brink of chaos.

Over the weekend, street

AP

Egyptian army soldiers take their positions on top and next to their armored vehicles while guarding an entrance to Tahrir square, in Cairo, Egypt, Friday. Egypt is bracing for more violence after the Muslim Brotherhood called for nationwide marches after

battles raged throughout the metropolis, once a stable corner of the Middle East.

Armed civilians and security forces fought armed Morsi supporters and protesters.

People openly fired automatic rifles and pistols at one another on main overpasses and roads. Most residents cowered in their homes, many staying clear of windows and balconies.

Metro stations near protest sites are closed,

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Sen. Mark Pryor likes to tell voters that he always puts Arkansas first, borrowing the campaign slogan associated with his family for decades. In Wyoming, Liz Cheney bets that her famous father’s name will be gold in her Senate race. And in Louisiana, Sen. Mary Landrieu counts on her kin’s New Orleans ties to help lift her to re-election in a tough race.

Family does matter in the runup to next fall’s Senate elections: Candidates are wielding famous political pedigrees in a number of races that could determine whether Democrats maintain control in the 2014 elections.

Famous last names mean automatic name recognition and, typically, an easier time raising money. Beyond that, and 15 months before Election Day, it’s unclear whether family ties will translate into votes next fall.

For several Democrats, their deep family roots in conservative-leaning states could help them make the case that they are in touch

with local values and act in constituents’ best interests as they seek to rebut Republican arguments that they are nothing more than rubber stamps for President Barack Obama’s policies.

Yet, with congressional approval ratings dipping to record lows, a political pedigree also could turn into a liability if voters decide they’d rather have some new blood in the Senate.

History is filled with famous political families with national images — the Kennedys, Rockefellers and Bushes are among them — and there are similar political dynasties in individual states across the nation.

This year, family ties figure prominently in Arkansas, where Pryor’s father, David, served the state as governor and U.S. senator, and in Louisiana, where Landrieu’s father, Moon, was New Orleans’ mayor during the 1970s and her brother, Mitch, now leads the city. In Wyoming, former Vice President Dick Cheney’s eldest daughter has galvanized the state’s

and military tanks enforce an army-imposed state of emergency that grants security forces broad powers to make arrests. Residents have locked entrances to their apartment buildings, and police stations and prisons have come under attack.

The city, normally bustling at all hours of the day and night, now slips into an eerie quiet interrupted at times by

gunfire during an 11-hour curfew that starts at 7 p.m.

The usually gridlocked streets are devoid of nighttime traffic.

Vigilantes and police dressed in civilian clothes stand at makeshift roadblocks, frisking people without identifying themselves. Many brandish guns. The Interior Ministry warned civilians Sunday against breaking the curfew to man checkpoints.

that you’re not part of the national party cabal,” Anzalone said.

Among the other Senate races featuring politicians with pedigrees: • Alaska: First-term Democratic Sen. Mark Begich has been targeted by Republicans in a state that hasn’t supported a Democrat for president since 1964.

Begich is the son of the late Rep. Nick Begich, who served in Congress before his October 1972 death in a plane crash.

• Georgia: Democrat Michelle Nunn, the daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn, is trying to win an open seat in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate in more than a decade.

• West Virginia: Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, the daughter of former three-term Gov. Arch Moore, is heavily favored to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller. Capito’s father, now 90, pleaded guilty to political corruption charges in 1990 and served 2½ years in federal prison. Democrats have yet to field a strong candidate.

political scene by seeking the seat of Sen. Mike Enzi, a Republican favored by his party’s establishment.

In the cases of Pryor and Landrieu, Republicans say voters are savvy enough to judge sitting senators on their performance rather than their pedigree.

“Name ID has helped Landrieu and Pryor during their careers, but they are pretty far along into their own careers now and they have a voting record,” said Brian Walsh, a Republican strategist and former aide to the National Senatorial Campaign Committee.

John Anzalone, an Alabama-based Democratic pollster, counters that it will be more difficult for Republicans to attach the Democratic incumbents to Obama next year because the president will not be on the ballot. He said many children of prominent politicians, especially in places less favorable to Democrats, have been successful by sticking to the mold of their parents — not the party’s leader.

Family reunited Sharing is caring about the earth with beloved cat Dear EarthTalk: Some green groups are promoting the simple notion of sharing as a way to green communities and combat waste. Can you explain?

– Becky Lipscomb, Centereach, NY

BY SUE ZENDT

“If music be the food of love, play on.”— William Shakespeare Eight-year-old Chris picked out the kitten, the runt of the litter, with soft black fur and a sweet face.

We named her Emily, for Emily Dickinson, Belle of Amherst. Within a few weeks it became apparent that Emily was not a proper name for the sleek male of Siamese grace and lithe power that the kitten became. We decided to call him Amherst, since “Dick” didn’t suit him at all.

Amherst was very much his own cat, with distinct and sometimes unusual likes. His favorite yogurt flavor was raspberry, although he would lick any container if given the chance. He was greedy about sipping the leftover juice from any honeydew melon rind, but not at all interested in cantaloupe or Crenshaw melon. He worked for days perfecting his leap from the top of the refrigerator onto the kitchen table, despite being reprimanded every time he tried it.

His most unusual quirk, however, was his passion for the music of Scott Joplin.

Whenever I sat down at the piano to play some ragtime, Amherst jumped immediately onto the piano next to the music rack, curled up and listened. If anyone had the audacity to leave, say, homework on his piano space, he would disdainfully sweep it to the floor. His very favorite rag was “The Cascades.” When I would play it, he couldn’t keep still. He would walk around the piano, ending up on my lap, pressing the top of his head under my chin, purring raggedly. Bliss!

When Amherst was nearly grown, we moved to a different house half a mile away. When the time came to load the car, Amherst was nowhere to be found.

We looked and looked, and came back daily to the old house, armed with raspberry yogurt or honeydew melon, but we never found the cat.

Jump three years ahead;

we’ve moved again, easily a mile from either of our former homes, across a busy highway. Chris came in from school one day and announced: “Amherst’s home. He’s on the front porch.” I accompanied him out to see, and found a big bruiser of a tomcat, one ear slightly chewed, a disdainful expression on his big round face. “Oh, honey, I don’t see how this could be Amherst.

Amherst was a much more Egyptian-looking cat, slender and long-legged.

This fellow looks like John Wayne!” In any case, Chris — a cross between Dr. Dolittle and St. Francis of Assisi — fed the big black cat every day.

Whoever the cat was, he was polite, never asking to come inside. He just sat on the porch. One fine afternoon, a week or so after he had appeared, I decided I’d determine once and for all that this big cat was not Amherst. I propped the front door open, sat down at the piano, and proceeded to play “The Cascades.”

The cat walked in, gathered his 20-pound self up and sprang to the top of the piano. Alas, he didn’t fit in his favorite spot any more, nor was there adequate room for him on my lap, but he gave it every effort, purring vociferously.

Later when the music was finished and he’d eaten half a carton of raspberry yogurt, I was convinced. I couldn’t wait for Chris to get home from school so I could tell him, “Chris — Amherst’s home!”

The convergence of environmental awareness and consumer culture has created a whole new movement today whereby sharing is cool. Indeed, some environmentalists view sharing as key to maintaining our quality of life and our sanity in an increasingly cluttered world.

“Sharing is a relatively simple concept and a basic part of human life,” reports Janelle Orsi on Shareable, an online magazine that tells the story of sharing.

“What’s new is that people are applying sharing in innovative and far-reaching ways, many of which require complex planning, new ways of thinking and organizing, and new technologies. In short, people are taking sharing to new levels, ranging from relatively simple applications of sharing to community-wide sharing initiatives—and beyond.”

“In a shareable world, things like car sharing, clothing swaps, childcare

The non-profit Freecycle Network, which runs a Craigslist-style website where people can list items they want to give away, pioneered using the Internet to facilitate diverting reusable goods from landfills when it launched in 2003. To date, more than 9 million individuals across 5,000 different regions have used the group’s freecycle.org website to find new homes for old items.

• coops, potlucks, and cohousing make life more fun, green, and affordable,” reports Shareable. “When we share, not only is a better life possible, but so is a better world.”

The non-profit Freecycle Network, which runs a Craigslist-style website where people can list items they want to give away, pioneered using the Internet to facilitate diverting reusable goods from landfills when it launched back in 2003. To date, more than nine million individuals across 5,000 different regions have used the group’s freecycle.org website to find new homes for old items.

According to Shareable, other examples such as Zipcar, Wikipedia, Kiva and Creative Commons show

how successful sharing can be. “They show what’s possible when we share.

They show that we don’t act merely for our own good, but go out of our way to contribute to the common good. They show that we can solve the crises we face, and thrive as never before.

They show that a new world is emerging where the more you share the more respect you get, and where life works because everyone helps each other.”

Shareable and the Center for a New American Dream, a non-profit that highlights the connections between consumption, quality of life and the environment, have collaborated on the production of the new “Guide to Sharing,” a free downloadable booklet loaded with practical ideas

about exchanging stuff, time, skills and space.

Some of the ideas in the guide include: organizing a community swap; starting a local toy, seed or tool library; launching a skills exchange where community members can swap professional skills like carpentry or grant-writing; or setting up a food, transportation or gardening co-op.

Some other sharing tips include car-sharing, gift circles, sharing backyard chickens with neighbors and launching a “free market” where people meet to trade skills and stuff.

For her part, Janelle Orsi envisions a future where public land is dedicated to community gardening, public libraries also lend tools, equipment and other goods, and citywide bike sharing, carpooling and wifi programs are all the rage.

Orsi and others warn we had better get used to sharing, as it is here to stay.

Electronic waste must be disposed of properly FROM THE INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

An Indiana law prohibiting dumping televisions, computers, and other consumer electronics in landfills has been in effect for three years Did you just buy a new flat screen television, but need to get rid of your old tube TV? Maybe your computer has finally fizzled out, or a new tablet has replaced your old handheld device.

Instead of throwing these old electronics out with your trash, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) encourages Hoosiers to participate

Travel

in the state’s e-waste recycling program.

It is illegal for households, public schools and small businesses to dispose of e-waste in a landfill, so IDEM has been working with citizens, county solid waste districts, and electronics retailers to make the disposal of e-waste as simple and affordable as possible. Proper disposal sites for each county can be found here: http://www. in.gov/idem/recycle/files/ ewaste_collectors_list.pdf.

During the first three years of the program, Hoosier households, small businesses, and public schools have recycled more than 66 million pounds of electronics and

the availability of e-waste recycling options has expanded. A detailed report documenting the program’s progress and success can be found here: http://www. idem.IN.gov/recycle/2428. htm.

Electronics contain heavy metals, including lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium that can be harmful if released into the environment. Recycling electronics ensures these materials are safely managed and that valuable materials such as steel, glass, copper, gold, and aluminum are reclaimed for the manufacturing of new products. Reusing and recycling raw materials from e-waste conserves

natural resources and avoids pollution.

Meredith Jones, Director of IDEM’s E-Waste Program, says while many people are taking advantage of the program, even more citizen participation is needed.

“We need to remind Hoosiers that the law exists,” she said. “Lack of awareness about the law and program remain one of our biggest challenges.”

Indiana’s Electronic Waste Law began to go into effect in 2009, after its passage through the General Assembly. Today, hundreds of businesses and solid waste districts across the state collect e-waste from Hoosiers.

BEAM: Naturalist serves as public face for parks FROM PAGE A1

of environmental education, and many things in my life leading to that point became clear to me. I must teach, and have been doing so ever since. My goal is to light a passion in the mind for outside and the wild things.”

LaGrange County’s first parks, Delt Church Park and David Rogers Memorial Park, opened in the early 1970s. After that the parks department more or less sat still until current parks department director Mike Metz arrived in 1983.

Metz has been able to grow the park system — it now includes 10 parks and covers more than 600 acres as well as employing five full-time staff members.

Metz said, however, it is Beam who took on the needed role of being the public face of the parks department.

It’s a role Beam works hard at.

TEEN: TPELC is the first to reach foundation’s goal FROM PAGE A1

ago the Dekko Foundation challenged 52 locations that offered early childhood education to reach the goals established by the foundation’s MOOSE grant.

The TPELC is the first to reach that goal. “For 10 years our leaders went all out!” Conrad said. “They wanted to meet the growth and learning needs of children and sustain the program’s work through sound financial practices.”

“Even if we never received the money, all the positive changes that we made as a result of this challenge made all our efforts worth it,” she added.

“We’re not just a free service anymore. We offer training for entire families and that training is designed to break the cycle of poverty and dependence,” said past board president Richard Anderson.

Kevin Deary, an Indiana Youth Institute consultant who has worked with this agency for more than

His job and the role of the parks department in LaGrange County, are, in Beam’s words, of vital importance to its residents.

“There is significant wild land here,” Beam said. “In this age of rapid development and invasive organisms, ecosystems do not take care of themselves since there are so many pressures on them. We are closely tied to the wild things and as we protect them we ultimately protect our own future.

“Public wild lands are important for quality of life,” he explains. “When you think of recreation do you think of getting outside? When you think of a family celebration, do you want to be enclosed in a building? What do you think of when you think of a place of healing? Public land, shared by the wild and the caretakers, has benefits for which there is no substitute.”

“I employ many unusual methods to teach the lessons of nature — puppets, plush toys, costuming, and lots of role play,” he said. “It is exciting to be recognized away from a park and greeted by smiles and hugs.

I am now teaching children of children I have taught and I love it. I hope I have encouraged many young people and adults to care for the wild plants and animals, to put their caring into actions that benefit wild habitats, to respect the lives of the people that worked hard to improve our opportunities, to get outside more.”

Beam’s office is on the second floor of the Maple Wood Nature Center, deep in the 100-plus acre woods that is teeming with wildlife. The center was built to maximize a visitor’s exposure to the natural world around it, with large glass walls that allow easy observations of nature.

five years, told LFS staff members, “When I met you, you were chasing a grant. Now you’re chasing excellence!”

A surprise visit to LFS

by Dekko Foundation staff to make the presentation was the first of six steps in completing the MOOSE grant. Each year for five years the Dekko Foundation will match up to $10,000 of new funds raised by the agency for the endowment.

The interest earned will be used to pay the difference between what it costs for child care each week (more than $200 per child) and what the teen parent pays ($50).

The TPELC enables teen parents to reach their educational goals. Staff efforts focus on helping break the cycle of poverty, mentoring, increased parenting skills and role modeling. “Many of these teen parents don’t experience this anywhere else in their lives,” Conrad said.

The teen parents are

required to volunteer 10 hours each year and have the opportunity to reduce their $50 weekly fee to $20 if they participate in the parenting education activities offered by the Pregnancy and Parenting Resource Center. Debbie Derby is the director.

“The Teen Parent Early Learning Center is far more than babysitting,” Derby said. “Developmentally appropriate learning experiences are the focus for each child; the children are receiving a strong educational foundation as their parents are completing their educational goals.”

To nurture young learners, the staff also is participating in “Bloom!” provided by the Dekko Foundation. See dekkofoundation.org/bloom1.

Wirtz said with the retirement of an existing general obligation bond, selling a bond for the second phase of renovations will replace it.

“Two years ago, we were still paying on the original construction of the middle school. We’re now funding improvements to buildings,” he said.

The corporation also could decide to install a wireless network inside buildings, but Wirtz said he does not have a cost estimate for that.

Also at Monday’s

meeting, Wirtz will give a presentation on the district’s proposed $13 million budget for 2013-14. The amount is slightly less than the current year’s budget of $13.1 million.

The proposed budget projects an enrollment decline to 956 students.

“For the decline in students, our state revenues will go down by $392,000,” Wirtz said.

The Fremont Classroom Teachers’ Association contract with the corporation expired June 30. Under a new state law, formal

bargaining on a new contract could not begin until Aug. 1. Because salary and health care variables — including implementation of Obamacare — are unknown, they have not yet been figured into the budget.

“Our health care renewal is Oct. 1 that’s being calculated currently. We didn’t budget in contract negotiations. Until we have concrete numbers, it’s difficult,” he said.

Monday’s meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the administration building, 1100 W. Toledo St.

Congress split on cutting off aid to Egypt WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of Congress are split over whether the U.S. should cut off military aid to Egypt, highlighting the difficult choices facing the Obama administration amid spiraling violence on the streets of an important Middle East ally.

Democratic leaders have generally supported the president’s approach.

But on Sunday, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., said he would end aid to Egypt.

Ellison is the first Muslim elected to Congress and

is co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

“I would cut off aid but engage in intense diplomacy in Egypt and in the region to try to say, look, we will restore aid when you stop the bloodshed in the street and set up a path towards democracy that you were on before,” Ellison said. “In my mind, there’s no way to say that this was not a coup.

It is. We should say so. And then follow our own law, which says we cannot fund

the coup leaders.”

Among Republicans, there were growing calls to eliminate military aid to Egypt. But others were more hesitant.

Rep. Pete King, R-N.Y., said curtailing aid could reduce U.S. influence over Egypt’s interim government, which controls access to strategic resources, including the Suez Canal.

“We certainly shouldn’t cut off all aid,” said King, who chairs the House panel on counterterrorism and intelligence.

CAIRO (AP) — Security forces fired tear gas at a prison truck Sunday in an attempt to free a police officer from rioting detainees, killing at least 36 suspects rounded up during streets clashes between Islamist supporters of the country’s ousted president and police, officials said.

The deaths of the prisoners, captured during the fierce fighting in recent days around Cairo’s Ramses Square, came as Egypt’s army leader Gen. Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi vowed that the military would not tolerate further violence after four days of nationwide clashes left nearly 900 people dead.

While el-Sissi called for the inclusion of Islamists in the government, security forces detained Muslim Brotherhood members in raids aimed at stopping more planned rallies supporting ousted President Mohammed Morsi — which the militarybacked government says fuels the violent unrest.

The killed detainees were part of a prison truck convoy of some 600 people heading to Abu Zaabal prison in northern Egypt, the officials told The Associated Press.

Detainees in one of the

trucks rioted Sunday night and managed to capture a police officer inside, the officials said.

Security forces fired tear gas into the truck in hopes of freeing the badly beaten officer, the officials said. The officials said those killed died from suffocating on the gas.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists.

However, the officials’ version of events contradicted reports about the incident carried by state media. The official website of Egyptian state television reported that the deaths took place after security forces clashed with militants near the prison and detainees came under fire while trying to escape. The official MENA state news agency also said the trucks came under attack from gunmen.

State media also said all those killed and the gunmen belonged to the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that Morsi hails from.

The officials who spoke to AP said some of the detainees belonged to the Brotherhood, while others didn’t.

Luck keys Colts’ win Tigers EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Andrew Luck threw for 107 yards and two touchdowns and the Indianapolis Colts responded to criticism by owner Jim Irsay with a 20-12 exhibition victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night.

Irsay used Twitter to apologize to fans for the Colts’ abysmal showing in a 44-20 loss to Buffalo last week, and the Colts (1-1) improved markedly, with some help from the bubbling and suddenly injury-concerned Giants (1-1).

New York wide receiver Victor Cruz (bruised heel) and starting center David Baas (sprained knee) left the game and the Giants did little on offense.

Not seeing much pressure, Luck threw touchdown passes of 28 yards to Reggie Wayne and 18 to T.Y. Hilton in leading the Colts to 17 points. Adam Vinatieri added a 52-yard field goal as Indianapolis scored on three consecutive series.

Backup kicker Brandon McManus added a 50-yard field goal in the second half.

New York’s Josh Brown kicked field goals of 25, 27 and 45 yards in the first half. The last one came after Giants coach Tom Coughlin was flagged for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the previous play for coming down the sideline and yelling at the side judge for a supposed non-call. Brown added a 47-yard field goal with 8:43 to play to close out the scoring.

Luck, who led the Colts to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth in his rookie season, completed 9 of 13 passes, but the one most will remember will be the gift touchdown courtesy of veteran Giants cornerback Aaron Ross, who was starting for the injured Corey Webster.

On a second-and-3 play from the 28, Luck underthrew Wayne on a pattern down the right sideline. A backpedalling Ross was in perfect position to intercept the ball, but he lost his balance, had the ball slip out of his hands

and then hit his leg and pop up into the air. Wayne came down with it in the end zone for a 7-3 lead.

An interception by new cornerback Greg Toler on Eli Manning’s third-down pass on the ensuring series gave the ball to the Colts at the New York 41. Vinatieri made his 52-yarder with about 10 yards to spare after three plays moved the ball to the 34.

Luck finished off his night, leading the Colts on a seven-play,

60-yard drive that featured two third-down conversions on passes to Hilton and a 15-yard facemask penalty against Ross. Both passes to Hilton covered 18 yards, with the second one coming on a third-and-11 from the New York 18. Hilton beat Jayron Hosley to the right corner of the end zone and Luck floated a perfect pass over the outstretched hands of the cornerback. The play was reviewed and the touchdown ruling confirmed.

DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera hit his 40th home run and had an RBI single to help Max Scherzer become baseball’s first 18-game winner this season as the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 6-3 Sunday to win the five-game series.

The reigning Triple Crown winner became the third player since 1921 to have at least 40 homers and 120 RBIs while batting .350 or better through 116 games, joining Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx, according to STATS. Scherzer (18-1) gave up two runs on five hits over eight innings.

Scherzer and Roger Clemens are the pitchers since 1919 to have 18 wins in their first 19 decisions, STATS said. Clemens did it with the New York Yankees in 2001, when he finished 20-3.

Royals manager Ned Yost said before the game that intentionally walking Cabrera wasn’t a good option because Prince Fielder and Victor Martinez hit behind him.

After Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the first inning and a run-scoring single in the third, Yost chose to give Cabrera a free pass in the fifth inning with a runner on third and Fielder followed with an inning-ending groundout. Cabrera has eight homers in 13 games.

Cabrera leads the majors in batting (.360) and RBIs (120). His home run pulled him within four of Baltimore’s Chris Davis for the big league lead.

Cabrera connected a day after his leadoff home run in the ninth inning beat Kansas City.

The Royals lost three of five this weekend and left Comerica Park in third place, trailing the AL Centralleading Tigers by 8½ games.

Logano holds off Harvick at Michigan BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Joey Logano gave Ford a Sprint Cup sweep in Michigan — and enabled team owner Roger Penske to celebrate a victory in his home state.

Now Logano can start to envision a happy finish to what has been an eventful season for the 23-year-old driver.

“We’re close, we’re close,” Logano said.

“What a great place to win — what a great time to win, being in Ford’s backyard.”

Logano boosted his chances of reaching the Chase for the Sprint Cup, winning for the first time this season in a fuel-mileage race at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday.

Logano and Kevin Harvick both breezed past Mark Martin with just over three laps to go in the 400-mile, 200-lap race. Martin had been trying to stretch fuel, but when he faltered, Logano was able to hold off Harvick.

The win put Logano in 13th place in the standings. He’s seven points behind Martin Truex Jr. for the second wild card.

It’s been an up-and-down year for Logano.

He and teammate Brad Keselowski were docked 25 points each after NASCAR inspectors confiscated parts from the rear suspensions of their cars before the April 13 race at Texas.

Wainwright fans 11 as Cards down Cubs

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright struck out 11 and allowed one run through seven innings, and Jon Jay drove in four runs with a homer and double to lead St. Louis to a 6-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.

Matt Carpenter singled in two runs in the third to help back Wainwright (14-7), who was in command and allowed just five hits and one walk after going 0-2 in his previous four starts.

Junior Lake drove in the Cubs’ only run with a double in the sixth.

Wainwright hadn’t won since July 21 at home against San Diego

and had allowed 14 runs in 28 innings during the span.

On Sunday, he faced only one batter over the minimum through the first five innings and only 26 through seven innings.

Reds 9, Brewers 1 Homer Bailey allowed one run and three hits in eight innings, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers.

Bailey (8-10) won his third straight decision. He walked one and struck out eight, including Juan Francisco three times.

Ramirez finished a triple shy of the cycle. He homered to lead off the fifth inning, giving Chicago a 4-2 lead and helping his team win its first road series in more than a month.

Jeff Keppinger’s single scored Avisail Garcia to make it 5-2 later

in the fifth.

Brian Dozier had two hits and an RBI for Minnesota, which went 2 for 18 with runners in scoring position and lost for the fifth time in six games.

Athletics 7, Indians 3 Chris Young and Alberto Callaspo homered in the fifth inning and the Oakland Athletics beat the Cleveland Indians.

Jed Lowrie, batting leadoff for only the third time this season, had two hits and scored twice for Oakland. Josh Donaldson drove in three runs as the A’s pulled within a half-game of AL West-leading Texas.

Central Noble sporting new look

BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — It’s a season of change for Central Noble’s football team.

Coach Jeremy Yates has installed new offensive and defensive systems, notably.

But there’s an energy around the program that is obvious and different, and even though some familiar names are back for the Cougars, make no mistake: this is a new brand of Central Noble football.

It’ll be built on speed and tenacity. Yates said practices have made obvious an abundance of team quickness and strength after players have bought into off-season conditioning.

The most apparent difference in this year’s Cougars is the number of, well, Cougars. Yates said the number of players has spiked this year, so much so that it’ll be the first season on his tenure that no freshman will appear on the varsity depth chart.

The influx of players will keep players from being forced to play two ways as has been required in seasons gone by, Yates explained. “We should be much fresher on the field, and I think our competitiveness will be much greater, also,�

Yates said.

Offensively, Brock Noe will handed the keys — again — to Yates’ new spread pistol offense. Yates said he expects Noe, after

taking a year off from the position, to handle the responsibility well.

He’ll have backs Jordan Cooper and Robert Smiley sharing touches in the backfield behind him, and three-year varsity player Joel Cochard as his main target at wideout.

The offense will be fast and electric, with the players there to fit the new system. “We’re going to have to use our speed because we’re not real big up front. We have a couple decent-sized guys, but our speed, I think, is probably our biggest asset,� Yates said.

Behind him, outside

linebackers Jacob McDonald and Alex Collins will do the lion’s share of the hitting, and Yates is piling responsibility on the pair. “If we’re going to have any success on the defensive side of the ball, they’ll be critical for us,� he said.

as a sophomore cornerback after starting as a freshman last year. “The players have been very upbeat and very positive about everything we’ve done,� Yates said. “I think they’re excited to get the season rolling and the coaches are, too.�

Barons forge ahead with new coach

BY MARK MURDOCK mmurdock@kpcmedia.com

WATERLOO — High school football coaches start from scratch and have less than three weeks to have their teams ready for a game.

The challenge of preparation is even greater at DeKalb, where Mike DeVos took over as interim coach after he replaced Mike Cochran midway through the first week of practice.

The Barons lost a large class of seniors and are coming off a 2-8 season.

DeVos, however, is upbeat and ready to give his best to get them going in the right direction in his third year in the program. “It has been an ususual situation. It’s been going good, though,� DeVos said. “We’ve got a lot of new guys playing, we’ve got an experienced coaching staff, and we’re very excited for the season.�

DeVos, a 2006 Angola graduate who went on to play for Trine, said the change in coaches was handled well. “We had very positive leadership in the locker room,� he said. “It really didn’t affect us too badly.

The guys handled it very well and acted like mature athletes.�

Most of the team’s experience is at the skill positions. Junior Logan Williams (5-11, 155) saw limited time there last year, and is joined by sophomore Harrison Price (6-3, 170).

They’ll be throwing to wide receivers Will Chrisman (sophomore, 6-6,

SPORTS BRIEFS • Senior Henry earns Purdue starting quarterback duties WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — A healthy Rob Henry finally has his old job back.

On Sunday, first-year Purdue coach Darrell Hazell tabbed the senior as his starting quarterback. Henry had been battling true freshman Danny Etling and redshirt freshman Austin Appleby for the job.

Henry, elected a captain by his teammates in 2011, outplayed Etling and Appleby in the spring game, and again when the Boilermakers reported for camp earlier this month.

After sitting out his freshman season, Henry played in 11 games in 2010, starting seven after incumbent Robert Marve went down with a season-ending left knee injury. While the Boilermakers struggled to a 4-8 mark, Henry became the first player at the Cradle of Quarterbacks to lead the Boilermakers in passing and rushing. He completed 86 of 162 passes for 996 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions and ran 104 times for 547 yards.

Purdue expected bigger things from Henry in 2011, but one week before the season opener, he tore the ACL in his right knee and missed the entire season.

Last year, he wound up third in a quarterback derby that featured Marve and Caleb TerBush, the quarterback who replaced Henry in 2011 and led the Boilermakers to their first bowl game under coach Danny Hope. The Boilermakers tried to get the athletic 6-foot-2, 205-pound athlete on the field in other spots. But Henry wound up completing just 21 of 38 passes for 216 yards and three TDs, rushing 38 times for 74 yards and one TD and catching six passes for 65 yards.

This time, he’s the outright winner.

Etling appeared to have the best chance of beating Henry.

The 6-foot-2, 218-pounder from Terre Haute, Ind., was considered one of the top pro-style quarterbacks in the nation coming out of high school. He enrolled at Purdue in January, hoping to get a jump on the job.

Appleby also is an intriguing prospect.

One Ohio scouting service rated the 6-foot-5, 229-pound prep star the best quarterback in the Buckeye state.

But with Marve, TerBush and Henry in front of him last season, Appleby redshirted. He’ll start this season behind Henry and possibly Etling.

Dolphins’ Keller done for year MIAMI (AP) — Dustin Keller will miss the entire season with a knee injury that leaves the Miami Dolphins without much experience at tight end, a position in which they were counting on an upgrade to enliven their offense in 2013.

Keller seriously injured his right knee during Saturday’s preseason game at Houston, two people familiar with the diagnosis said Sunday. They confirmed the extent of the injury on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins made no public comment.

Keller signed a $4.25 million, one-year contract with the Dolphins in March after five seasons with the New York Jets. His injury represents a significant setback for the Dolphins, who acquired Keller to replace tight end Tony Fasano and help second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Miami ranked 30th in the NFL last year with 13 touchdown passes, but Tannehill and Keller had clicked in training camp and connected on a 22-yard touchdown pass in the second exhibition game.

“Dustin brought a lot to the table for us,” Tannehill said. “He’s a great player, and it’s a tough situation. But at the end of the day we have to have somebody step up and play in his shoes.”

Keller was carted off the field after taking a hit in the knee from the helmet of tackler D.J. Swearinger, a rookie safety.

The play was legal, and Swearinger said he went low because tackling high can lead to a fine.

Indiana hospitals embrace price transparency

BY DOUGLAS J. LEONARD

Following the federal government’s release of data on hospital charges for Medicare patients, much has been written nationally about how health care providers determine prices, the variation in charges for the same procedure and the willingness of hospitals to “come clean” on the issue of price transparency.

As president of the Indiana Hospital Association, representing 164 Hoosier hospitals health Care for which hospitals and systems, are not compensated we fully embrace at all continues to price grow. In 2011, Indiana transparency. Our hospitals provided members nearly $3 billion in welcome opportuuncompensated care the nity to help for the uninsured and patients better underinsured. understand the costs associated with the round-theclock care they need, the quality of our care, as well as the value all patients receive when seeking treatment – no matter how severe their situation.

The cost of treatment is difficult to measure, made complex over the years due to the system created by the government for patients who receive their health care through Medicare and Medicaid benefits – often at costs that far exceed what is paid to hospitals. The demands for discounts by private insurance companies create further complexity for hospitals and patients to determine the true cost of any given procedure.

Most importantly, however, is the fact that each patient is unique. A procedure performed on a 27-year-old, otherwise healthy male will likely cost less than the same procedure performed on a 57-yearold male who is overweight and diabetic.

Meanwhile, the rate of care for which hospitals are not compensated at all continues to grow. In 2011, Indiana hospitals provided nearly $3 billion in uncompensated care for the uninsured and underinsured. Shifting these costs has long been part of our complex health care system. Thus, what hospitals charge rarely reflects how much hospitals are ultimately reimbursed by government or private insurers.

Despite these difficulties, moving toward price transparency is a priority.

Already, the Indiana Hospital Association and its members are working to find the best solution. That solution must include cooperation from private insurers and the business community without whom health care providers are unable to report accurate pricing information to consumers.

Nevertheless, the word “transparency” is nothing new for Indiana’s health care industry. Hoosier hospitals have for many years embraced greater transparency of their quality reporting. In 2001, the Institute of Medicine released a comprehensive report on health care quality measures. The report revealed inconsistent care and a lack of evidence-based practices across the country, leading the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to release quality measures on all hospitals. This effort at improving quality transparency was embraced by hospitals and has revolutionized the focus on quality and patient safety.

Achieving greater price transparency will take time, effort and commitment from all parties involved to make the necessary changes to our systems, to our payer contracts and to our bills. And this effort will not eliminate the complexity of providing medical care to human beings.

Nor will it eliminate the demands that continue to cause health care spending to grow. Price transparency is just one piece of the health care puzzle, but an important and critical one that must be addressed.

Despite the progress Indiana hospitals have made by improving quality, and the work begun to ensure price transparency for patients, are we where we need to be? No, but we are getting closer.

By working with private insurers so consumers get a complete picture of their out-of-pocket charges, and collaborating with the business community to report that information, together, we may finally succeed in delivering the health care system that Hoosiers deserve.

Letters to The Editor • Trine students thanked for creating unique shower To the editor: I am very grateful to The Herald Republican for sharing my story on the engineering students at Trine University and their incredible talent and dedication in making me a very unique shower.

The students and their guiding professor

Thomas Deagostino gave me something which enables me to be more independent.

I was born without arms and have very short legs. With an incredible family supporting my dreams, I graduated from college, learned to drive, traveled as a speaker/artist and moved into my first home and real independent living. God was and remains on my team, as well.

Lake Gage has been a part of my

life in summer months since I was 10.

My dream is to live there year around, providing a more accessible cottage solution evolves.

The city of Angola, without question, is in my heart, too.

Thank you students, Tom Deagostino and Trine. God bless you all!

Defining the meaning of Hillary Clinton WASHINGTON — Three years out and you’d think the deed was done: Madame President Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.

She’s everywhere these days because: (a) It’s August; (b) Reporters are bored with President Obama; (c) Reporters are bored with Joe Biden; (d) Clintons are never boring.

Correct.

Op-ed columns are filled with advice about what Hillary needs to do.

She needs a narrative.

A message. It can’t be KATHLEEN that she’s a Clinton or a woman. It has to be …

PARKER What?

Here’s a thought: She can save the world.

Yes, all right, perhaps a trifle hyperbolic, but hear me out. And keep in mind that this works only as a long game.

We may not live to see salvation but one has to start somewhere. Thus far, invasions, bunker-busting mega-bombs and killer drones seem not to be having the desired effect.

Let’s begin with a working (and provable) premise: Women, if allowed to be fully equal to men, will bring peace to the planet. This is not so far-fetched a notion.

One, men have been at it for thousands of years, resulting in millions and millions of corpses. Two, countries where women are most oppressed and abused are also the least stable.

Three, as women become more empowered, especially financially, countries become more stable. When women have money, they can feed their families, get health care, educate their children, start businesses and so on. The ripple effect is stronger families, stronger communities, and ultimately saner nations.

This fact, reinforced by numerous economic studies, has not escaped the

attention of corporate America, which is investing heavily to reach women in developing countries. As Muhtar Kent, the CEO of Coca-Cola, put it: “Women are already the most dynamic and fastestgrowing economic force in the world today.”

What does this have to do with Hillary?

Quite a bit.

Rewinding the tape to 1995 at the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, then-first lady Hillary Clinton empowered women as never before with just a few words: “Human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights, once and for all.”

Imagine that. Well, of course, we can imagine that. Our Founding Fathers created the instruments to codify this concept, even if it took a while to imprint on our psyches and to be reflected in our laws.

But elsewhere, in places where women are tortured, abused, sold into slavery and disfigured, all to the “glory” of men, it was a trumpet blast from heaven’s gate that caused the earth to tremble: Women are human beings, too.

How do you say “wow” in Lingala?

At the time, it was a revolutionary statement and helps explain why Hillary is one of the most recognized and revered individuals in the world.

While Americans obsess about Hillary’s hair and married life, others have been studying her for inspiration. To millions, she is a role model and a warrior for women’s right to self-determination. As secretary of state, she continued the work of her predecessors, Condoleezza Rice and Madeleine Albright, who first insisted that women’s rights be part of our foreign policy, and then pushed further. Under Hillary’s watch, Obama made permanent the Office of Global Women’s Issues and appointed longtime Hillary colleague Melanne Verveer as ambassador-at-large.

These strides in soft diplomacy may get

To millions, she is a role model and a warrior for women’s right to self-determination.

• less ink than, say, John Kerry’s progress toward Middle East peace talks, but they are no less important in the longer term. Far newsier than yet another round of “peace talks,” necessary though they be, are the implications of the global explosion in women’s economic and, therefore, political power.

Whether one likes or dislikes Hillary, few dispute that she has matured in her public role. Her resume can be topped by few and the symbolic power of electing a woman president — especially this woman — can’t be overestimated. Many doubtless shudder at the prospect of Hillary Clinton as the most powerful person in the world, but we’ve done worse. For what it’s worth, many in the Bush White House said privately they hoped Hillary would win because they felt she was the better prepared to handle international challenges.

Whatever transpires during the next three years, we can be sure the world’s women are watching closely. In 2007 when I traveled through the Middle East with then-first lady Laura Bush, every woman I met was riveted by the U.S. presidential election and wanted to talk about only this: Will Hillary win?

In 2008, it seemed possible. In 2016, barring a Benghazi surprise, it seems probable.

What Others Say Bennett’s downfall is no reason to scrap state reforms Before school reform champion Tony Bennett fell from grace for his alleged manipulation of school accountability scores in Indiana, he was well on his way to establishing himself as an outspoken leader in modernizing academic programs in elementary and secondary schools.

As the Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction 2009-2012, and with the support of then- Gov. Mitch Daniels, the state board of education and a Republican legislative majority, Bennett pushed through a lineup of school reform initiatives. His programs weren’t popular with teachers unions or some Democrats, but they did challenge the old ways of doing things in what were considered mediocre Indiana schools.

But he blew it big time in an attempt to change scoring on the state A-F grading system for ranking state schools, seeming to helping out some charter schools.

Even though Bennett lost the 2012 election to a Democratic Indiana educator, Glenda Ritz, he was hired next as Florida’s school chief, there to institute some of the reforms he brought to Indiana. But he lost that position as well, resigning just days ago.

The Associated Press broke the story, publishing emails from when he was still Indiana superintendent, showing an effort by him and Indiana staff members to rewrite the state’s school grading formula after the Christel House Academy in Indianapolis, a charter school founded by influential GOP contributor Christel DeHaan, scored only a C grade. The score was eventually changed to an A, but Bennett maintained he did not give special treatment to Christel House.

Emails obtained by the AP showed that Bennett ordered his staff to find a way to get an A for Christel House. It didn’t help that Christel DeHaan had contributed $130,000 to Bennett’s losing re-election campaign.

No doubt Democrats, some Republicans and union teachers who opposed school

accountability and other reforms will see this as an opportunity to take advantage of the scandal and throw out some reform. The accounting grading system has been under review, and could see some changes. Ritz said there would be a final report on Sept.

2. That review is completely justified, but in our opinion, it is important that the state tread lightly in looking at other reforms adopted during Bennett’s terms in office.

We must separate our views of his behavior on this one issue from his ideas for modernizing schools. Among the programs championed by Bennett as Indiana school chief were a third-grade reading test meant to end social promotions, the A-F accountability program, ending half-day class days, vouchers, charter schools, state takeovers of failing schools and teacher training.

Indiana would be foolish now to scrap those programs in favor of a return to the old days of mediocre academics in many of Indiana’ schools.

Penn State pays first Sandusky victim HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Penn State may never be able to fully shake off the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal, but news that one victim has settled and other claimants may be soon follow marks a legal milestone after almost a year of negotiations.

Attorney Tom Kline said Saturday that a 25-year-old suburban Philadelphia man known as “Victim 5” in court filings had completed the agreement with the university, the first to come to terms with the university that once employed Sandusky as an assistant football coach.

Another attorney, Mike Boni, one of four lawyers collectively representing 10 claimants — including the young man whose complaint

triggered the Sandusky criminal investigation — said Sunday those claims were also close to being resolved.

“I’d be troubled if it didn’t happen this week,” Boni said. “We’re not signed off, but we’re close.”

Another lawyer, Jeff Anderson, said his two cases are not that near to being resolved.

“It’s still a work in progress,” Anderson told The Associated Press on Sunday. “If somebody’s talking about they have deals done, it’s not us.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Saturday that 26 of 31 claims are close to being settled, which would validate the strategy used by Penn State to compensate Sandusky’s victims, said

Richard Serbin, an Altoona lawyer who has represented sex abuse victims for 25 years.

“I would be very surprised if any of these cases ends up in trial,” Serbin said. “They may end up going forward in litigation, but that does not mean they will not be resolved before getting to the courthouse steps.”

Penn State announced a year ago — the day Sandusky was convicted of 45 criminal counts — that it hoped to compensate his victims fairly and quickly.

Penn State’s trustees have authorized some $60 million to be used for settlements.

The deals appear to be coming together as three former school administrators await trial for an

alleged cover-up and other actions after getting complaints about Sandusky.

A district judge recently ruled there was enough evidence to send the cases against former president Graham Spanier, former vice president Gary Schultz and former Tim Curley to county court for trial. All three deny the allegations.

The settlements may not affect those cases at all, Serbin said.

“I certainly don’t think it impedes the prosecution, but I’m not quite certain it helps them, either,” he said.

Kline’s client, who took the stand at Sandusky’s criminal trial and sentencing last year, signed off on the agreement on Friday and should get paid within a month.

The man was identified by name in court, but the AP does not name people who are victims of sex crimes without their consent.

Kline said that as part of the agreement, his client assigned his claim to Penn State, effectively giving the university a better chance to recover the money from other parties, such as The Second Mile, a charity for at-risk youth that Sandusky founded.

Boni said the same question was an issue in the settlement talks involving Victim 1, who has come forward to identify himself as Aaron Fisher and written a book about the experience.

“It enables Penn State to go after the insurers

and Second Mile,” the Sandusky-founded charity where he met at least some of his victims, Boni said.

“Whether Penn State ever does or not, who knows.”

A spokesman for the university declined comment Saturday on Victim 5’s deal, saying the school “continues to make progress on multiple settlements.”

At Sandusky’s trial, Victim 5 testified that he met the coach at a Second Mile camp in 1999 and went to Penn State games with him. He said that Sandusky groped him in the showers during a workout — the incident occurred after another assistant coach reported seeing Sandusky attacking a child in a locker room shower.

Volunteer divers prepare their rubber to help in the search and rescue operation off Talisay coast, Cebu province Sunday following Friday night’s collision of the passenger ferry MV Thomas Aquinas and the cargo ship Sulpicio Express

Siete in central Philippines. Divers plucked two more bodies from the sunken passenger ferry on Sunday and scrambled to plug an oil leak in the wreckage after the collision.

Ferry death toll reaches 39 CEBU, Philippines (AP) — As the MV Thomas Aquinas cruised toward Cebu city in the central Philippines, navy marshal Richard Pestillos prepared for a brief stop while some passengers watched a band and others soaked in the night breeze on the deck.

Then the scene turned chaotic when the ferry, with 870 passengers and crew, and a cargo ship collided late Friday, ripping a hole in its hull, knocking out its power and causing it to list before rapidly sinking as people screamed, according to Pestillos and other witnesses.

“The sea was very calm and we could already see the lights at the pier,” Pestillos told The Associated Press on Sunday by telephone.

“Then very suddenly … there was a loud bang then the grating sound of metal being peeled off,” he said.

Coast guard officials said at least 39 died and more

than 80 were missing in the latest deadly sea accident in the Philippines, which happened 350 miles south of Manila.

Frequent storms, badly maintained vessels and weak enforcement of safety regulations have been blamed for many of the accidents, including in 1987 when the ferry Dona Paz sank after colliding with a fuel tanker, killing more than 4,341 people in the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster.

Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III said 751 passengers and crew of the Thomas Aquinas were rescued. There were no signs of additional survivors late Sunday, although Davide told reporters that he had not given up hope.

Pestillos, one of several people praised for saving others in the accident, said he distributed life jackets and launched life rafts before creating his own

flotation device by tying three life jackets to his navy service rifle.

As the ferry sank, Pestillos said he fell into water that reeked of oil and was hit by a falling life boat. He said he gave his homemade flotation device to a woman who needed it to stay afloat.

He said he lost sight of her when he went to help seven others, including two toddlers, toward an overturned life boat.

Pestillos said rescuers found his rifle still tied to the life jackets, but it was not clear what happened to the woman.

“I’m really praying that she also made it to the shore alive,” he said.

Cebu coast guard chief Commodore William Melad said there were 870 people on the ferry, including 754 passengers and 116 crew, after collating records of hospitals, rescuers and the ferry owner.

AP: What’s next in Pistorius case?

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Oscar Pistorius is due to re-appear in a South African court on today to face charges of killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Here’s what is expected to happen next: INDICTMENT: The 26-year-old double-amputee Olympian will be indicted on a main charge of premeditated murder on Today at Pretoria Magistrate’s Court, prosecutors say, confirming they will maintain the charge they initially laid against Pistorius for Steenkamps’s shooting death in February when they go to trial.

Pistorius denies he committed murder and says he shot Steenkamp by mistake thinking she was a dangerous intruder.

The blockbuster trial is expected to start in early 2014 but the exact date will likely be set today, according to prosecutors. It will probably be in February or March, around a year since Steenkamp’s killing.

The indictment papers served on Pistorius by the state mean the case will be sent to

the High Court in the South African capital Pretoria, where a judge will preside over the trial and ultimately pronounce the world-famous athlete innocent or guilty. South Africa does not have trial by jury.

The mandatory sentence for someone convicted of premeditated murder is life with a minimum of 25 years in prison, meaning if Pistorius is found guilty, he will be older than 50, at least, when he leaves prison.

There is no death penalty in South Africa.

The indictment papers are expected to include a list of witnesses to be called by the prosecution during the trial, and detail some of the evidence police investigators have gathered in the six months since Pistorius fatally shot Steenkamp in a bathroom in his home on Valentine’s Day. ADDITIONAL CHARGES: Prosecutors told The Associated Press it is “possible” that additional charges could be added to the indictment but declined to comment on South African

media reports that Pistorius would face two other charges relating to recklessly discharging a firearm in a public place in two separate incidents. The incidents — reportedly when Pistorius shot a gun out of the sunroof of a moving car and let one off accidentally in a restaurant — would seemingly show the prosecution’s attempt to paint Pistorius as trigger-happy at his trial.

Neither Pistorius’ defense lawyers nor his family would comment in detail on any of the charges, but a spokeswoman said they would see a copy of the indictment papers before today so they could prepare.

“The Pistorius family does not wish to comment on any aspects of this court case before the next court appearance,” Anneliese Burgess told the AP in an email. “In our view, the correct place for any information relating to charges or witnesses or any other aspects pertaining to this or any other legal case, is in a court of law.”

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — The prosecutors pursuing the death penalty against the Army psychiatrist accused in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage will soon begin trying to answer a difficult but key question: Why did Maj. Nidal Hasan attack his fellow soldiers in the worst mass shooting ever on a U.S. military base?

Both sides offered a few hints so far. Although he’s been mostly silent in the courtroom, Hasan used his brief opening statement to tell jurors he had “switched sides” in what he called America’s war with Islam and he later leaked documents to the media showing he believed he could be a martyr.

Military prosecutors opened the trial by saying they would show that Hasan felt he had a “jihad duty,” referring to a Muslim term for

a religious war or struggle.

After calling almost 80 witnesses over two weeks, prosecutors said Friday they would begin tackling the question this week.

How much they can say to jurors, however, may be limited by the judge. Even though plenty of information about Hasan’s extremist views has been published outside the courtroom since the rampage, the 13 military officers on the jury said they had not closely followed the case and wouldn’t read news coverage during the trial.

Prosecutors asked the military judge, Col. Tara Osborn, on Friday to approve evidence and several witnesses to explain Hasan’s mindset. Such evidence includes references to Hasan Akbar, a Muslim soldier sentenced to death for attacking fellow soldiers in

Kuwait during the 2003 Iraq invasion.

Prosecutor Col. Steve Henricks told Osborn that Hasan had shown interest in Akbar’s case and prosecutors wanted to prove Hasan’s attack was a “copycat.”

The skeptical judge told Henricks she didn’t want to hold a “mini-trial” of Akbar and asked how he would introduce the case to jurors.

Henricks said he planned to call a prosecutor to discuss its basics, but he didn’t identify the prosecutor. Akbar was prosecuted by Col. Mike Mulligan, the lead prosecutor in Hasan’s trial.

Henricks has alleged that besides his so-called “jihad duty,” Hasan was looking for ways to get out of deploying, and he said witnesses could include former classmates who heard him talking about suicide bombers.

Man not adjusting to early retirement DEAR ABBY: My husband lost his job more than a year ago because his plant closed. He was almost retirement age, so he took an early retirement. The problem is he isn’t adjusting well to the change.

He has his hobbies, but he seems to have lost interest in them. He is angry a lot of the time and lost at other times.

I understand it’s a huge adjustment for him, but I’m concerned that it has been going on too long. I have tried to get him interested in things, but he doesn’t take my suggestions well anymore. He thinks I want him out of my hair, but it’s not true. I want him to be happy.

I know he’s depressed but he denies it. When other people ask how he likes retirement, he says he loves it. I think he feels silly for not enjoying it.

He doesn’t want to spend

Your husband may have valuable skills he could pass on by mentoring others.

He could volunteer in the community, delivering meals to shut-ins, coaching youngsters’ sports, help out at the police department or a hospital. All he needs to do is go to his computer and type in “volunteer opportunities in Michigan” to find plenty of opportunities.

He can donate as little or as much time as he wants.

But first, he will have to admit that he ISN’T loving retirement and needs an outlet.

Prevention may involve: • Water. Drinking plenty of fluids keeps your urine dilute, so minerals won’t accumulate into stones. Drink at least 10 glasses of fluid a day, half of which should be water.

• Calcium. Most kidney stones contain calcium.

Surprisingly, dietary calcium is protective. That’s because it reduces the amount of oxalate that is absorbed from the gut, and it is the combination of calcium and oxalate that forms stones. Good sources include milk, cheese, yogurt, oranges and broccoli. On the other hand, calcium supplements can increase your risk for kidney stones because they increase the calcium in your blood and urine but do not decrease the oxalate. Avoid calcium supplements if you’ve had calcium kidney stones.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I recently passed a kidney stone — and I would do anything to prevent another one from forming. Can kidney stones be prevented?

DEAR READER: I’ve never had a kidney stone myself, but I’ve had plenty of patients who suffered from them. So I know that they really hurt.

Kidney stones are hard chemical deposits that form inside the kidneys. They are often as small as grains of sand and pass painlessly out of the body in urine. But kidney stones can be much bigger — the size of a pea, a marble or even larger.

But if a stone gets into the ureters — the tubes that connect each kidney to the bladder — it can cause intense pain and bleeding. This may require medication and/or hospitalization to have the stone removed or broken into fragments.

• Oxalate. Oxalate often binds to calcium to form kidney stones. Cut down on high-oxalate foods, which include beets, spinach, chard, rhubarb, tea, coffee, cola, chocolate and nuts.

• Sodium. Keep sodium intake under 1,500 mg a day.

A low-sodium diet reduces the amount of calcium the kidney puts into the urine.

• Protein. Avoid or limit red meat. Animal protein increases the tendency of stones to form.

• Fruits and vegetables.

Plant-based foods protect against kidney stones. High-potassium fruits such as tomatoes and bananas are best. Citrus fruits — except grapefruit — are another good choice.

• Obesity. Obesity increases risk. Shed excess pounds.

NYPD faces prospect of 2 new, separate watchdogs NEW YORK (AP) — After years of burnishing a reputation as one of the nation’s most potent police forces, the New York Police Department appears poised to become one of the most closely monitored.

A federal judge this week said the department made thousands of racially discriminatory street stops and appointed a monitor to direct changes. And city lawmakers are readying for a final vote Thursday on creating an inspector general for the NYPD and widening the legal path for pursuing claims of police bias.

It’s a one-two punch of outside tinkering that will muddy police work, a pair of complementary steps to protect civil rights or a rash of policymaking that may end up meaning little

on the street, depending on who gets asked. But from any perspective, it would be the onset of a new era of oversight for the country’s biggest police department, though the impacts would be defined by particulars and politics still in play.

The federal ruling outlines but doesn’t always detail reforms, and the city plans to appeal it. The City Council, if it succeeds in overriding a mayoral veto, would establish a monitor but not select the person or specify exactly what gets investigated. And a new mayor will take office next year, which could well mean new police leadership.

“The complexity, at this point, is that there are so many moving parts,” said John Jay College of Criminal Justice professor

Eugene O’Donnell, who isn’t involved in the litigation or legislation. “And it doesn’t help that it became very adversarial.”

Some other police forces, including the Los Angeles Police Department, also have had both court monitoring and an inspector general. The NYPD was under a 1980s federal consent decree that involved undercover and surveillance techniques, but this would be an unprecedented level of outside scrutiny for the agency.

Advocates see distinct roles for each of the prospective new NYPD watchdogs, who would have different scopes and powers.

They wouldn’t directly intersect, deriving their authority from different parts of government.

The court monitor could compel changes, via the judge, but only concerning stop and frisk. If the ruling stands after the expected appeal, the monitor will flesh out details of U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin’s calls for changes to officer training, supervision and discipline.

The monitor also would keep tabs on specific initiatives Scheindlin required: revising forms that document stops and testing body-worn cameras for officers.

The inspector general could look at many aspects of policing — surveillance of Muslims or officers’ response to the mentally ill, for instance. But the inspector could issue only recommendations, not orders, though the mayor or

council could make them mandatory.

The court’s monitoring would end when the judge saw no further need for it, while the inspector general’s position would be permanent.

“Both are essential elements in creating transparency and accountability in the NYPD,” said Chauniqua Young of the Center for Constitutional Rights, which brought the federal case and is among groups backing the city legislation.

But Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly have bitterly resisted the push to impose more outside input on the NYPD, pressure that built amid anger over the department’s heavy use of the stop and

frisk tactic and concerns about extensive NYPD surveillance of Muslims.

The spying was disclosed in stories by The Associated Press.

The mayor and commissioner say police already get plenty of scrutiny from entities ranging from a 700-person internal investigations staff to a civilian complaint board. The new monitors would layer on confusing, overlapping oversight, the officials say.

Bloomberg has raised the specter of the police force becoming so policed by watchdogs and lawsuits that officers might hesitate to defend themselves, with deadly consequences.

“I’d like to see you go to the funeral and explain to the family,” he snapped at a news conference Aug. 12.

U.N. chemical arms expert arrives in Syria Living standards DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — After months of drawn-out negotiations, United Nations experts arrived in Damascus on Sunday to begin their investigation into the purported use of chemical weapons in Syria’s civil war.

The rebels, along with the U.S. and other Western powers, have accused President Bashar Assad’s regime of carrying out the alleged chemical attacks, while the Syrian government and Russia have blamed the opposition. Nearly six months after the weapons of mass destruction were first allegedly employed on the battlefield, definitive proof remains elusive.

The U.N. team that arrived in Damascus on Sunday is tasked with determining whether chemical weapons have been used in the conflict, and if so which ones. But the mission’s mandate does not extend to establishing who was responsible for an attack, which has led some observers to question the overall value of the probe.

The 20-member U.N.

delegation, led by Swedish chemical weapons expert Ake Sellstrom, checked into a five-star hotel upon arrival in central Damascus.

Plainclothes police officers immediately whisked them away from a crush of reporters and cameraman waiting in the lobby.

U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said the team will begin its work on Monday.

The investigators are expected to visit three sites where chemical weapons attacks allegedly occurred: the village of Khan al-Assal just west of the embattled northern city of Aleppo and two other locations that have not been disclosed.

Syria is said to have one of the world’s largest stockpiles of chemical weapons, including mustard gas and the nerve agent sarin. There are concerns that the Assad regime might use them on a large scale, transfer some of them to the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group or that the chemical agents could fall into the hands of al-Qaida-affiliated militants and other extremists among the rebels.

In this image made from video, U.N. weapon inspectors collect their luggage from their U.N. vehicle as they arrive at a hotel in Damascus, Syria, Sunday.

Ahead of the experts’ arrival, Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad told The Associated Press that the government will offer the U.N. inspectors its full assistance.

“I assure you, on behalf of the Syrian Arab Republic, that we will fully cooperate with this team and provide it will all information we have and all facilities to reach a rational conclusion,” he

said.

“Our basic target is for this team to find facts on ground, especially about what happened in Khan al-Assal, because we, as a government, do not know about any other cases other than the case where chemical weapons were used by terrorists there,” he added. Syria’s government refers to rebels fighting its rule as terrorists.

LONDON (AP) — Poor families in Britain are struggling to provide basics for their children as the cost of living rises faster than wages and benefits, research released by a charity Monday suggested.

The cost of raising a child during the first 18 years of life rose 4 percent to 148,105 pounds ($230,376) last year, while average earnings rose 1.5 percent and safety net benefits rose 1 percent, according to the report from the Child Poverty Action Group.

“This research paints a stark picture of families being squeezed by rising prices and stagnant wages, yet receiving ever-diminishing support from the government over the course of the last year,” said Alison Garnham, the group’s chief executive. “Every parent knows it’s getting harder to pay for the essentials their children need, and they don’t feel like politicians see them as a priority.”

The report comes as Britain’s coalition government, elected in 2010, imposes tough austerity measures to reduce the nation’s budget deficit.

Those programs include limiting benefit increases to 1 percent annually for three years, forcing many low-income residents to pay local council tax for the first time, and a new fee for public housing tenants with spare bedrooms.

Treasury chief George Osborne has acknowledged that the recovery is taking “longer than anyone hoped,” but says that tackling the deficit will be better for the country in the long run despite the short term pain.

Child poverty advocates argue that such measures hit families hard — and that safeguarding families should be the government’s priority.

Looking at the numbers in economic isolation without considering the impact of such policies on children won’t help the economy, they say.
