Alleged murder accomplice charged Accused of tossing weapon from car

BY AMY OBERLIN amyo@kpcnews.net

ANGOLA — An alleged accomplice in a July 7 killing has been charged with obstruction of justice.

Lucas R. Baxla, 18, of Fremont, was arrested Tuesday on a Class D felony charge and arraigned at 1 p.m. by Judge Randy Coffey. The charge carries up to a three-year prison term.

Mark Zachery Hines, 28, and

Tyler Lee Biggs, 18, both of Jimmerson Lake, are charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the shooting death of Ruben Sanchez, 29. They are being held in Steuben County Jail without bail.

Baxla remained in jail Wednesday afternoon in lieu of $5,000 bail, set during Wednesday afternoon’s hearing. He told Coffey he planned to hire his own attorney. A pretrial conference is

set for Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. in Steuben Circuit Court. If he does make bond, he is prohibited from having any firearms or ammunition.

He is charged with obstruction of justice because he allegedly threw a weapon police believe was used in Baxla the killing out the window of a car he was in with Hines and Biggs with the intent to prevent it from being

State sees 1st human West Nile case INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana health officials say the state’s first human case of West Nile virus has been reported in southeastern Indiana and that mosquitoes in nine counties across the state have tested positive for the disease.

The Indiana State Department of Health says the case occurred in Ripley County, about 40 miles west of Cincinnati, Ohio, but provides no other details about it.

The Health Department says adjacent Jefferson County, along the Ohio River, is one of the nine counties were mosquitoes have tested positive for the virus. The others are Allen, Adams, Grant and Starke in northern Indiana; Clinton, Vigo and Vermillion in the west; and central Indiana’s Hamilton County.

Justin McConnell and Brooke Snyder won the Master Achiever awards at the DeKalb County

4-H Awards Program Wednesday night in Auburn.

4-H honors Master Achievers

BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — Brooke Snyder and Justin McConnell received Master Achiever awards at the DeKalb County 4-H Awards Program Wednesday night.

Master Achiever is the top honor given by 4-H in the annual program at Middaugh Hall on the DeKalb County Fairgrounds.

Snyder and McConnell also were among five winners of the Tops in 4-H awards. They shared that recognition with Zoie Houser, Anna Pranger and Annessa Smith.

Snyder, 16, is a Corunna resident and a junior at DeKalb High School. She is a member of three 4-H clubs — Fairfield Farmers, Horse & Pony and DeKalb Doubletrees.

During her eight years in 4-H, Snyder’s wide-ranging list of activities includes photography, floriculture, veterinary science, wildlife, forestry, horse and pony, dairy beef, draft horses, sheep and swine.

She is quick to identify horse and pony and photography as her favorite activities.

“I just love being with my horses,” Snyder said, “and I love teaching the newer members how to ride and take care of their horses.”

As for photography, she said, “I just love capturing memories everywhere.”

McConnell, also 16, lives in Auburn and belongs to the Jackson Blue Ribbons 4-H club. He is homeschooled and in his junior year.

McConnell has participated in 4-H goats, sheep, horse and pony, wildlife, veterinary science, home environment, construction toys, models and electric projects.

“I just love to raise goats. I love their personalities,” he said. His other favorite project, veterinary science, appeals to him because he likes learning about animal health.

Both winners are looking ahead to future careers. Snyder said she is interested in becoming a nurse

“I would love to become a long-term missionary,” she said.

Mechanical engineering appeals to McConnell as a career.

“One thing 4-H has really helped me with is public speaking,” which can be useful whatever he chooses to do, McConnell said. He added that 4-H also has taught him problemsolving and leadership.

Challenge to secret collection of records narrowly rejected WASHINGTON (AP) — The House narrowly rejected a challenge to the National Security Agency’s secret collection of hundreds of millions of Americans’ phone records Wednesday night after a fierce debate pitting privacy rights against the government’s efforts to thwart terrorism.

The vote was 217-205 on an issue that created unusual political coalitions in Washington, with libertarian-leaning conservatives and liberal Democrats pressing for the change against the Obama administration, the Republican establishment and Congress’ national security experts.

The showdown vote marked the first chance for lawmakers to take a stand on the secret surveillance program since former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden leaked classified documents last month that spelled out the monumental scope of the government’s activities.

It is unlikely to be the final word on government intrusion to defend the nation and Americans’ civil liberties.

Waterloo family adjusts to ‘new normal’ with SMA

BY KATHRYN BASSETT kathrynb@kpcnews.net

WATERLOO — Hannah Perkins is anticipating the start of the new school year. She and her family are looking forward to an upcoming tour of DeKalb Middle School, where Perkins will be a sixth-grader.

Unlike most of her classmates, Perkins will not carry out her studies in the regular classroom setting. She will participate in a live audio-video link from her Waterloo home, and a teacher will come to the home to provide instruction.

Perkins has Type 1 spinal muscular atrophy. SMA is a form of muscular dystrophy that is passed on genetically to children by their parents. Both parents must carry a copy of the recessive gene, and there is a 25 percent chance in each pregnancy of the child having SMA. Children with type 1 SMA are not able to hold up their heads, roll

over, crawl, sit up without support or walk. All of their muscles are extremely weak, especially muscles in the legs, upper arms and neck. The disease affects all muscle systems, including sucking, swallowing, digesting food, excretion and breathing.

Respiratory complications are a challenge, and a common cold quickly can escalate to pneumonia and respiratory failure for children with SMA. The brain is not affected.

August is SMA awareness month, and each year, Hannah’s mother, Jennifer Perkins, shares Hannah’s story and how the Perkinses have discovered ways to manage their daughter’s disease through the Internet and other SMA families.

“For a child battling this disease that affects all of her muscles, Hannah has shown me the true meaning of strength and courage,” Jennifer Perkins said.

Expert asks farmers to fight algae

BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com

WATERLOO — Farmers and homeowners in Indiana can help reduce toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie, an expert said Wednesday.

Jeff Reutter, director of Ohio State University’s Sea Grant program, spoke at the annual Agronomy Field Day at The Andersons Waterloo Farm Center. More than 100 people attended.

Reutter studies Lake Erie from his laboratory at Put-In Bay. He said the lake represents “the best example of ecosystem recovery in the world.”

“We took it from the problems we were having in the ’60s and ’70s and made it the walleye capital of the world,” he said. “We accomplished the improvement by reducing phosphorous loading.”

The greatest boost to water quality came from improvements in sewage treatment, Reutter said.

But no-till and reduced-till farming methods reduced the phosphorous load from agriculture by 50 percent.

Now, however, blooms of toxic algae are returning.

They reached a peak in 2011 that threatened drinking water for 2.8 million people.

Algae grew so thick, it slowed power boats, Reutter said.

Most of the problem stems from water entering Lake Erie through the Maumee River, Reutter

said. Nearly all of DeKalb County drains into the Maumee Basin. Algae blooms start in Maumee Bay and spread to the rest of the lake.

Phosphorus, contained in animal manure and many commercial fertilizers, triggers algae growth.

Phosphorus enters the lake in the form of fertilizer runoff from agricultural fields and sewer overflows from cities during heavy rains.

To to cut back on phosphorous entering the lake and reduce algae, Reutter encouraged farmers to follow a “4R” program: • Don’t apply more fertilizer than needed.

• Don’t apply on frozen or snow-covered ground.

• Don’t broadcast — incorporate into soil.

• Don’t apply when rain is in the immediate forecast.

Farm Bureau is endorsing the 4R program, Reutter said.

“They want to solve this problem voluntarily … because they don’t want to be regulated,” he said.

Reutter also offered tips for nonfarm residents. They can use low-flow toilets and showerheads; use rain barrels and rain gardens; make sure septic tanks are working; use lawn fertilizers without phosphorous and support communities in eliminating sewage

overflows.

Reutter said Scott’s voluntarily removed all phosphorous from it’s lawn care products this year.

Last year saw a greatly reduced algae bloom due to a drought that limited inflow from the Maumee, Reutter said. He blamed unusually wet weather for the high algae levels in 2011.

This year, Reutter’s agency is predicting algae will be twice as bad as last year, but only one-fifth the level of 2011. He said algae blooms can be predicted accurately by measuring phosphorous levels in the Maumee River from March 1 to June 30.

Regional Roundup • Third I-69 truck crash victim dies

His death was ruled an accident.

FORT WAYNE — A third victim of the July 11 fatal crash on Interstate 69 died at the hospital Tuesday night, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports.

A semi that was parked on the side of the southbound lanes of I-69 near the Dupont Road interchange was sideswiped by an empty semi car hauler. Blaine Miller, a local race car owner, and his grandson, Jeff Shelmadine, a championship driver, were killed in the crash.

The third victim has been identified as Tirek Tyrone Murphy, 25, of Norman, Okla. The Allen County Coroner said Murphy died of infection and respiratory failure due to complications of blunt force trauma from the crash.

Parkview-led group plans to focus on sports medicine FORT WAYNE — Parkview Health has formed a collaboration among entities to provide a continuum of sports-medicine care.

The collaboration, called Parkview Sports Medicine, includes SportONE Orthopedics, AWP Sports Training, Parkview Athletic Rehabilitation and Parkview Physicians Group. Parkview officials said partnerships have also been developed with The Plex, SportONE/ Parkview Fieldhouse, the Fort Wayne TinCaps, Spiece Fieldhouse, The Diamond and Max Fitness.

“This unique approach

and collaboration gives northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio athletes access to a spectrum of care previously not available,” said Dr. Alan McGee of Ortho NorthEast, which includes SportONE Orthopedics.

Cyclist hit by SUV, killed on U.S. 20 MIDDLEBURY (AP) — Police in Elkhart County said a bicyclist was killed Wednesday when he was hit by an SUV while riding along a highway before dawn.

The Elkhart Truth reports

a 20-year-old man driving the SUV left his lane and struck Miller. Reports said Miller had a flashing light on his bicycle.

Boy buried in dune home from hospital CHICAGO (AP) — A 6-year-old Illinois boy who survived being buried by a sand dune has been released from the hospital, less than two weeks after the accident in Indiana.

Officials said Nathan Woessner of Sterling was discharged late Tuesday afternoon from the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital.

The boy was rescued after being buried for more than three hours on July 12 in a dune called Mount Baldy at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.

Retired Riverdale teachers reflect on careers

BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com

ST. JOE — When students return to Riverdale Elementary School next month, seven longtime teachers won’t be joining them.

Before the 2012-2013 school year ended, Jenny Chapman, Lori Fox, Carol Gear, Theresa Gerig, Linda Habegger, Pat Holman and Angie Hose — half of the teaching staff at the school — announced their retirements after each spent 30 years or more teaching at Riverdale and in the DeKalb Eastern school district.

The teachers shared their experiences and future plans after teaching.

Chapman remembers playing school as soon as she was in first grade. “All my dolls were lined up and I would ‘teach’ them whatever it was that I learned that day,� she said.

Chapman spent 42 years in teaching, including seven years in Whitley County schools. While at DeKalb Eastern, she taught at Butler and Riverdale elementary schools, and a couple of years with sixth-grade students at Eastside. “I chose to retire at this time because there are changes in education that take away from teaching: technology, evaluation requirements, all the testing, etc.,� she said. “Somehow throughout these past several years, I feel education has gotten away from the actual process of teaching and moved to an ‘end product’ based on test scores. “A really big reason I am retiring is my grandchildren and spending time with them,� she added. “I am going to miss the students, their families, and my fellow teachers,�

Chapman said. “This has been like an extended family for me throughout all these years.�

Chapman urged new teachers to “teach with passion and not for the money,� and to “connect with each child and find a love of something that he/ she has.�

Fox found inspiration from many teachers.

She spent 38 years in teaching — all at Riverdale — at different times in self-contained fifth-grade and sixth-grade classrooms, a combined fifth- and sixth-grade gifted classroom and fifthand sixth-grade science classrooms.

Fox said she will miss the students and witnessing their “A-ha!� moments. “My advice; ‘Keep your eyes on your own paper and don’t run in the halls,’� she said.

Gear spent 37 years in education, most of that time at Riverdale. In her first three years, she taught at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, where teachers lived in trailers on school property. “That was a neat adventure,� Gear said.

Growing up, Gear said her second- and fourthgrade teachers were influential because of their caring and helpful natures. “We had a playhouse in our backyard that had school desks in it,� Gear added. “I used to go out there and play teacher.

Sometimes, I would get my brothers to be the students.�

Gear said she especially enjoyed working with former teacher Donna Clark with the Little Hoosier activities.

She made the decision to retire last fall, in part due to new technology and changing requirements from the state level. “It just seemed like a good time to get out,� she said.

Gear’s advice to new teachers is, “Take it one day at a time and keep your head above water.� “As a young school-age student, I frequently played ‘school,’ and I was always the teacher,� Gerig said. “In high school, I was a member of Future Teachers of America, and I worked with elementary students. I never really thought of any other career.�

Gerig spent the first part of her career at Fremont, and 37 years at Riverdale, mostly teaching third-grade students. “I chose this time to

retire for several reasons, but mostly because it just felt right,� Gerig said. “Other retired teachers had told me that I would just know when the time was right, and now is that time for me. “I know I will miss the kids and the fun things we would do, but my husband and I have two wonderful grandchildren to enjoy, a bucket list to start working on, and I don’t think we will want for something to fill our days as they are already starting to fill with friends and family asking us to join them with various activities and travels. “I am really looking forward to this next chapter in my life and all the opportunities it will offer,�

Gerig said.

Habegger spent 42 years in the classroom, coming to DeKalb Eastern after

teaching kindergarten for two years at West Noble.

She spent four years teaching kindergarten at Butler Elementary and 36 years teaching first-grade at Riverdale. “My dream since I was a little girl was to be a teacher,� she said. “I have enjoyed teaching at Riverdale.� “I have always known that I wanted to teach,�

Holman said. “I was 13 when I started to teach a Sunday school class in our small rural church. From then on, I knew what I wanted to be; a teacher.�

Holman’s career began as fourth-grade teacher at Riverdale in 1968. She also taught kindergarten, first-, second- and third-grade students. “First-grade is my favorite, but whatever grade I was teaching was my favorite at the time,�

Chapman, Lori Fox, Carol Gear and Pat Holman. Each teacher spent more than 30 years teaching in the DeKalb Eastern Community School District.

she said. “I feel blessed to have taught at Riverdale,�

Holman added. “It is a very special place. The staff, parents and students are all amazing. “I’m not sure what I will be doing when I retire, but God has always been in charge of my life, and I know he has new adventures planned for me,� Holman said. “I leave with bittersweet feelings — a lot of happiness and a little sadness as I say goodbye.�

Hose spent her entire 38-year career in the DeKalb Eastern system, including 36 years teaching third-grade students at Riverdale. “There are certain elements of teaching that are not written in any policy or manual book. They cannot be measured in any test or evaluation,� Hose said.

Faithful are victims at both ends of church scam INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Nearly a decade after the government took over an Indiana brokerage firm whose leaders scammed more than 10,000 devout investors out of millions of dollars they believed would help build churches, officials are still trying to get their money back without forcing congregations out of their houses of worship.

A federal judge froze Alanar’s assets in 2005 at the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the brokerage based in Sullivan was placed in receivership.

Six years later, Vaughn Reeves Sr., was sentenced to

54 years in prison following his conviction on securities fraud charges. Reeves, a 69-year-old former pastor, is not eligible for release until 2035. His three sons also went to prison for taking part in the scheme.

The group used prayers and Bible passages to convince about 11,000 investors into buying

bonds worth $120 million secured by mortgages on construction projects at about 150 churches in 35 states, according to court documents. But the religious project was actually a Ponzi scheme that gave Reeves and his sons millions of dollars to spend on themselves.

For eight years now, the

court-appointed receiver has been trying to get the investors’ money back.

Much of that money comes from small, indepen-

dent churches or related operations like daycares that took loans from Alanar because they couldn’t get bank loans.

Senate approves bill on student loan rates WASHINGTON (AP) — Borrowing for tuition, housing and books would be less expensive for college students and their parents this fall but the costs could soon start climbing under a bill the Senate passed overwhelmingly Wednesday.

The bipartisan proposal would link interest rates on federal student loans to the financial markets, providing lower interest rates right away but higher ones if the economy improves as expected. The measure was similar to one that already had passed the Republican-led House and leaders from both chambers said they predicted the differences to be resolved before students start signing loan documents for fall term.

Liberal members of the Democratic caucus were vocal in their opposition over the potentially shifting

LONDON (AP) — The little prince was in need of a name, and now, by George, he’s got one.

Make that three: George Alexander Louis.

The announcement Wednesday that Prince William and his wife, Kate, had selected a moniker steeped in British history came as royal officials said the new parents were seeking quiet family time away from the flashbulbs and frenzy that accompanied the birth of their first child.

While the news put to rest intense speculation over what name the couple would choose, the extreme interest around it illustrated how the 2-day-old future heir is already on his way

sional action, rates would stay at 6.8 percent — a reality most lawmakers called unacceptable, although deep differences emerged even among allies as to how to remedy it.

The compromise that came together during the last few weeks would be a good deal for all students through the 2015 academic year. After that, interest rates are expected to climb above where they were when students left campus in the spring, if congressional estimates prove correct.

“That’s the same thing credit card companies said when they sold zero-interest rate credit cards. … The bill comes due,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

“All students will end up paying far higher interest rates on their loans than they do now.”

rates included in the Senate measure, which passed with support from both parties, 81-18.

“We can do much better than this,” said Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I. Undergraduates this fall would borrow at a 3.9 percent interest rate. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would borrow at 6.4 percent. The rates would be locked in for that year’s loan, but each year’s loan could be more expensive than the last. Rates would rise as the economy picks up and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money.

Rates on new subsidized Stafford loans doubled to 6.8 percent July 1 because Congress could not agree on a way to keep them at 3.4 percent. Without congres-

to a lifetime of fanfare and public glare.

Kensington Palace said William and Kate were “delighted to announce” their son’s name, adding that the baby will be known as “His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.”

The name George — borne by six kings — befits the boy now third in line to the British throne and was a favorite among British bookmakers, evoking the steadfastness of the queen’s father, George VI, who rallied the nation during World War II. Alexander is a name shared by three medieval Scottish kings, and Louis could be a tribute to Lord Louis Mountbatten, uncle to the queen’s husband, Prince Philip, and the last British viceroy of India before it gained independence in 1947. William’s father, Prince Charles, was close to Mountbatten, who was

assassinated by the Irish Republican Army in 1979.

The announcement of the name, just two days after the baby’s birth, was quick by royal standards. Queen Elizabeth II and Philip took a month before settling on the name Charles for the Prince of Wales.

Charles and Princess Diana took a week before settling on William’s four names.

While a king usually rules under his given name, precedent shows that the prince is not hidebound by George. The first name of George VI was actually Albert, but he picked his fourth name to use as sovereign in honor of his father, George V. For now, palace officials say, William and Kate are spending “private and quiet time for them to get to know their son.” Some of their discussions may revolve around how to shield him from the media.

Smoking: Toll on babies, children alarming

We welcome your letters to the editor.

BY GREG JOHNSON

The number of Hoosier mothers who have reported smoking during pregnancy is much higher than the national average of 10 percent. In 2010, the rate was 17.1 percent.

More alarming, 89 of 92 counties have rates higher than the national average. In fact, 69 of Indiana’s 92 counties have rates higher than Indiana’s own average.

According to 2010 birth certificate data, the percentages of area women who smoked at any time during pregnancy were: LaGrange, 7.5 percent; DeKalb, 22.8 percent; Noble, 24 percent; and Steuben, 24 percent.

In 2007, the percentages of mothers with Medicaid coverage who smoked during pregnancy were: LaGrange, 45 percent; Greg DeKalb, 39 percent; Noble, 30 Johnson percent; and Steuben, 35 percent.

A woman who lives in a home with a smoker puts her baby at risk, so for the benefit of the baby, it’s best for The Centers for Disease her family not to Control and Prevensmoke around her.

Pregnancy is tion estimates every $5 a big motivator a mom-to-be spends for many women to quit smoking. on a pack eventuAlmost 50 percent ally costs her another of women quit smoking right $7.18 in doctor visits, before or during pregnancy. treatments, conditions In Indiana, and medicines.

38 percent of women who did not complete high school smoke.

Rates decline as education levels increase. Women of all ethnicities, ages 25-34, are the highest proportion of smokers.

A pack of cigarettes costs over $5. A habit of two packs per day could pay for a pack of diapers — every day. One month of a daily pack habit easily competes with buying a car seat, bottles and other necessities.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates every $5 a mom-to-be spends on a pack eventually costs her another $7.18 in doctor visits, treatments, conditions and medicines.

Direct medical costs of a complicated birth are much higher for smokers because complications are much more severe for babies of smokers and intensive care more frequently required.

Smokers are more likely to have delayed conception or be infertile. The CDC says the sooner a woman quits, the greater her chance of a healthy delivery and development. The very first “quit” day, her baby is already getting more oxygen than the day before.

Compelling data shows a direct relationship between smoking and preterm delivery, stillbirth, low birth weight and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Mothers who don’t smoke but who are around smokers increase the chance for a low birth weight baby by 20 percent.

Smoking can lead to increased risk of hypertension and toxemia; premature rupture of membranes and placental abruption; ectopic pregnancy or intrauterine growth restriction; decreased thyroid function of the mom-to-be; and increased risk of genetic defects, poor health and disabilities.

Smoking reduces the amount of oxygen the fetus receives because it increases the amount of carbon monoxide, cyanide and aromatic hydrocarbons it receives. The nicotine and other substances in tobacco cause reduced placental blood flow, which further reduces oxygen flow to the fetus, as well as important nutrients.

Both smoking and exposure to smoke during pregnancy directly impact babies once born.

These babies and children have an increased risk of abnormal blood pressure, cleft pallets and lips, childhood leukemia, infantile colic, childhood wheezing, respiratory disorders, asthma, childhood obesity and eye problems.

Children of moms who smoked even half a pack a day during pregnancy have an increased risk of brain damage and decreased childhood intellectual function.

Children of moms who smoke one pack a day during pregnancy have an 85 percent increased risk of being born with mental retardation.

Children born of smokers are twice as likely to have behavioral problems, including Attention Deficit Disorder.

Exposure to other smokers during pregnancy increases the chance the baby will develop frequent ear infections, pneumonia, mental retardation, slower growth, hyperactivity and learning disabilities. They frequently have lower scores on cognitive development tests at age 2 compared to kids from smoke-free homes during pregnancy.

You can help by encouraging all pregnant women to say “no” to smoking and smokers.

Letters To The Editor • Will the real Republicans please stand up To the editor: It is getting harder to tell the difference between some of our elected Republicans and the Socialist Democrats. Is it that we Republicans are to somehow sound more liberal in order to gain more votes? Or is it that some Republicans actually believe this stuff?

Ben Smaltz, our state representative for District 52, titles his article (The Star, Tuesday, July 22), “Infrastructure improvements help pave the way to prosperity.” I wondered at the first “git-go” what is going on here. This title could have been written by the biggest tax-and-spend liberal in the state!

Does he really want us to believe that the more government spends the more we will prosper? Apparently so!

He opens his article with a glancing reference to David Birch’s theory of “economic gardening.” Regardless of the merits of the theory, just exactly what does Mr. Smaltz want us to do with it? He tells us a little of the theory, but never mentions why. It’s a dead end! Or is this just a “throw away” comment, perhaps to show us that he read something sometime in the distant past so as to impress us?

He wants us to take note that he serves on the House Roads and Transportation Committee, where he proudly voted in favor of a “33.5 percent increase” in spending. In his words, that is “an additional $215 million per year” to the budget! (Please note the phrase, “per year”!) And he wants us to thank him for this?

He becomes effusive when expanding on the glories of the Indiana Department of Transportation and its many wonders. He tells us of the thousands of employees that are necessary to keep the bureaucracy afloat and the beneficence of the kingdom they oversee. As if government is supposed to be the employer of first resort! And he wants us to think that more spending equals more prosperity?

Like the issues of health care and environment, economic development becomes a “catch-all” excuse for big government to spend our way to prosperity and Mr. Smaltz slathers it on thick. All of this big spending is “… so that Indiana blooms, giving economic security and prosperity for all.” Ya, right! And everybody lives happily ever after!

But the fairytale does not end there. I keep hearing in the background the echoes of that celebrity orator, Mr. Obama, when he says to small business owners, “You didn’t build that!” As if to say to entrepre-

neurs that they had to have big government pave the way for them!

Does Mr. Smaltz want us to think that every entrepreneur sits around with bated breath waiting for big government? For all of you who are anxiously waiting, let me introduce you to Mr. Smaltz. He’s your man!

And just where did Mr. Smaltz learn his craft of tax and spend? He was elected for two terms as president of the DeKalb County Council. That’s right! The same county council that has spent more than it has taken in for the past 10 years!

As I have said before, with Republicans like this, who needs Democrats?

environment, there is really no excuse.

Perhaps the worker and/or his employer will read this and take appropriate action, ensuring this man has every chance to return home safely.

What Others Say • The missing metrics for Daniels’ pay The initial reaction to the $58,153 the Purdue trustees plan to include in President Mitch Daniels’ salary after his first six months missed the mark on Friday.

Complaints about Daniels’ “raise” or his “bonus” didn’t fully grasp the contract he signed when the former Indiana governor started in

West Lafayette in January.

Daniels came to Purdue with a challenge for the trustees to tie a considerable portion of his salary to performance-based goals.

His base pay was negotiated at $420,000 with a chance to earn the other 30 percent by meeting goals set out for him each year. The bottom line: If Daniels gets what he calls “straight A’s” and gets the full 30 percent,

he’d make $546,000 in a year. (By comparison, his predecessor, France Córdova, made $555,000 a year, once deferred compensation was factored.)

Here’s where the criticism lies: Why haven’t the trustees laid out what Daniels must do to earn that 30 percent?

On Friday, the trustees awarded him the full share for six months because, they figured, he had a good start.

What’s that? Where are the stated metrics? What sort of stretch goals are the trustees asking Daniels — and ultimately, the campus — to meet? Or is that 30 percent just another part of a guaranteed salary?

On Friday, the trustees again put off talk about those metrics to measure Daniels — a real metrics kind of guy. So much for that challenge.

Space art exhibit eyes creativity in tech at Smithsonian WASHINGTON (AP) — The familiar exteriors of astronauts’ spacesuits often hide all of the ingenuity and mechanics that are built inside the suits, which were first imagined as “wearable spacecraft.”

Now a new art exhibit, “Suited for Space,” opening Friday at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, highlights the creativity behind the suits that allowed humans to explore the moon and aspire to fly farther from Earth.

X-ray images and photographs show the suits in intricate detail, said space history curator Cathleen Lewis. The museum’s X-rays are the first such images ever created to study, conserve and research the nation’s spacesuits.

“You don’t realize what a complex machine these are,” Lewis said. But the X-rays of Alan Shepard’s Apollo spacesuit and a 1960s prototype “allow visitors to see beyond what is visible to the naked eye, through the protective layers of the suit to see the substructures that are embedded inside.”

The exhibition traces the evolution of the spacesuit from the early high-altitude test flight suits of the 1930s to the dawn of the space age with Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and space shuttle missions.

While technology drove much of the suit design to maintain an airtight barrier to the vacuum of space and to protect from solar radiation, fashion aesthetics of the time also

played a role, Lewis said.

The original Mercury seven astronaut suits were unique from all others with a silvery coating to introduce America’s space explorers to the world.

“NASA had a demand to create the astronauts into a whole new corps, a non-military corps. So here was an opportunity to dress them in a new uniform … that evokes sensibilities of that Buck Rogers imagination,” she said. “All of these guys, the engineers, they grew up on science fiction. They fed it with their ideas, and they were consumers of it at the same time.”

Curators are working to find ways to preserve spacesuits because some materials are decomposing, discoloring or becoming rigid some 50 years after they were created.

The spacesuit show is traveling to 10 cities, moving next to Tampa, Fla., Philadelphia and Seattle through 2015.

Two companion exhibits at the National Air and Space Museum also highlight 50 artworks of about 550 new items added to the Smithsonian’s growing space art collection over the past decade.

They include portraits of astronomer Carl Sagan and astrophysicist Neal deGrasse Tyson, and a photograph of first female shuttle commander Eileen Collins by photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The museum’s art collection includes 7,000 paintings, drawings, prints, posters and sculptures.

to go into still life,” he said.

“As a child, I loved science fiction. I always remember arguing with my father about rocket ships. He said man will never go into space, he said, because what goes up must come down.”

The museum also has acquired a sculpture by Angela Palmer that evokes 46 different earth-like worlds that have been discovered by NASA’s Kepler Observatory. The piece, entitled “Searching for Goldilocks,” involves 18

sheets of glass marked with circles for each star with an orbiting planet.

It refers to “Goldilocks” planets that might support life. They range from 132 light-years to about 4,300 light-years away.

“If you have a look, you can stand there looking from Earth, as if you are the eye of the telescope,” she said.

“Or you can go to the back of the sculpture, and you can be thrown back towards Earth — 4,300 light years straight back down.”

AP

This handout image provided by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum shows an X-ray of an extravehicular overshoe that was designed to be worn over the Apollo spacesuit boots while an astronaut was walking on the Moon, part of a new art exhibit at the museum entitled: “Suited for Space” opening Friday.

Curators have been working to add more contemporary and conceptual art over the past 10 years.

Chief Curator Peter Jakab said art helps people reflect on aerospace achievements and the humanity imbued in each machine.

Albert Watson, a photographer known for his portraits of celebrities, such as Steve Jobs, and of fashion, took a break in 1990 to photograph

spacesuits and other artifacts. More recently, he donated two large-scale prints of an Apollo glove and boot to the museum.

Watson said he was captivated by the thought of suits that traveled in space and came back covered with moon dust.

“When you deal with celebrities every day or super models every day and fashion people every day, there is always a nice escape Selling Tues., July 30th at 6:30pm.

Baxla told officers Hines and Biggs started talking about shooting Sanchez after he struck Biggs in the face and head in the driveway at the trailer Sanchez was staying at with his girlfriend.

The altercation occurred after a day and night of partying, following a run the three had made to get more hard liquor at a lake-area drinking establishment.

Biggs procured the Smith and Wesson handgun and Baxla told investigators as they drove back to the residence during the early morning hours of July 7, Biggs said he wanted to do

committee, said in pleading with his colleagues to back the program during House debate.

Republican Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, chief sponsor of the repeal effort, said his aim was to end the indiscriminate collection of Americans’ phone records.

His measure, offered as an addition to a $598.3 billion defense spending bill for 2014, would have canceled the statutory authority for the NSA program, ending the agency’s ability to collect phone records and metadata under the USA Patriot Act unless it identified an individual under investigation.

Amash told the House that his effort was to defend the Constitution and

“defend the privacy of every American.�

The unusual political coalitions were on full display during a spirited but brief House debate. “Let us not deal in false narratives. Let’s deal in facts that will keep Americans safe,� said Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., a member of the Intelligence committee who implored her colleagues to back a program that she argued was vital in combatting terrorism.

But Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., a senior member of the Judiciary Committee who helped write the Patriot Act, insisted “the time has come� to stop the collection of phone records.

Several Republicans acknowledged the difficulty in balancing civil liberties

against national security, but expressed suspicion about the Obama administration’s implementation of the NSA programs — and anger at Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. “Right now the balancing is being done by people we do not know. People who lied to this body,� said Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C. He was referring to Clapper who admitted he gave misleading statements to Congress on how much the U.S. spies on Americans.

Clapper apologized to lawmakers earlier this month after saying in March that the U.S. does not gather data on citizens — something that Snowden revealed as false by releasing documents showing the NSA collects millions of phone records.

Officials gave differing death tolls in the immediate aftermath of the crash just outside Santiago de Compostela, on the eve of the city’s annual religious festival that attracts tens of thousands of Christian pilgrims from around the world.

Alberto Nunez Feijoo, president of the region of Galicia where Santiago de Compostela is the capital, said at least 40 people died. But the president of Galicia’s main court, Miguel Angel Cadenas, was quoted from the scene by the Cadena Ser radio station saying 56 died.

Rescue workers were still searching through the smoldering wreckage of the train’s cars Thursday morning in the pre-dawn darkness.

the shooting. Hines replied, “You have kids; this is your brother-in-law you are talking about killing,� say court documents.

Biggs parked the car in grass south of the trailer and Baxla said after Hines exited he heard three or four gun shots, then Hines screaming at Sanchez. Two more shots followed and Hines returned to the vehicle with a bloody lip and black eye. “Dude, I shot him, I shot him. He hit me so I shot him,� Hines’ said, according to court documents.

The first three shots were allegedly fired into the air, causing Sanchez to exit the trailer. When police arrived, they found Sanchez on the ground in his underwear with three gunshot wounds, several people standing around him and a black wallet with Hines’ identification laying in the

grass nearby.

Sanchez was conscious and breathing when police arrived, say court documents. He was taken to Parkview Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

According to an autopsy, Sanchez was shot at close range. A bullet that entered his shoulder went into the body cavity and lacerated Sanchez’ liver, causing his death.

After Hines got back in the car, Biggs drove quickly away from the scene, going through several lawns, said court documents. He tossed the gun into the backseat, into Baxla’s lap, Baxla told investigators, and he threw it out of the car.

State-owned train operator Renfe said in a statement that 218 passengers and an unspecified number of staff were on board the eight-carriage train during the 8.41 p.m. crash on a section of tracks about 2.5 miles from Santiago de Compostela that came online two years ago .

Renfe and track operator Adif were cooperating with a judge who has been appointed to investigate the accident, Renfe said.

A regional Galicia health official, Rocio Mosquera, told reporters at a press conference early Thursday morning that more than 140 passengers from the train had been treated at area hospitals, with their conditions ranging from light injuries to serious and some still in surgery hours after the crash.

Bodies were covered in blankets next to the tracks and rescue workers tried to get trapped people out of the train’s cars, with smoke billowing from some of the wreckage.

Some passengers were pulled out of broken windows, and one man stood atop a carriage lying on its side, using a pickaxe to try to smash through a window. Images showed one car pointing up into the air with one of its ends twisted and disfigured, and

Briefly • Belichick addresses Aaron Hernandez FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) — A grim-faced coach Bill Belichick said Wednesday the New England Patriots will learn from the “terrible experience” of Aaron Hernandez’s arrest on a murder charge and work to improve their player evaluation process.

Speaking publicly for the first time since the tight end was arrested four weeks earlier, Belichick said he was “shocked and disappointed” to learn of the criminal investigation while he was out of the United States.

He also sought to minimize future attention on the case.

“My comments are certainly not in proportion to the unfortunate and sad situation that we have here, but I’ve been advised to address the subject once, and it’s time for the New England Patriots to move forward,” Belichick said.

“Moving forward consists of what it’s always been here — to build a winning football team, to be a strong pillar in the community and be a team that our fans can be proud of.

“I’m not trying to make this story disappear, but I respect the judicial process and have been advised not to comment on ongoing legal proceedings. I’m advising our players to do the same things.”

The Patriots cut Hernandez after he was arrested the morning of June 26 and before he was charged that afternoon. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty.

Players are scheduled to report to training camp today when Tom Brady and the five other captains from last season will be available to reporters. The first practice is scheduled for Friday.

Tribe slow SEATTLE (AP) — Scott Kazmir feels he’s a complete pitcher now, not just a hard thrower.

Kazmir allowed just one hit over his eight innings, Michael Bourn hit his first career grand slam and the Cleveland Indians downed the Seattle Mariners 10-1 Wednesday afternoon.

The only hit Kazmir (6-4) gave up was a clean leadoff single to center by Justin Smoak in the fifth.

Kazmir struck out seven, walked two and allowed an unearned run.

Kazmir came up with Tampa Bay in 2004 and was 55-44 in his six seasons before being traded for the Angels in 2009. The Angels paid him more than $35 million but he lost his velocity and command, won just 11 games before being released in 2011. He played in the Independent League last season.

“I’m even better now. I feel I’m a more complete pitcher,” said Kazmir, who signed a free-agent deal with the Tribe. “I don’t have to throw hard every pitch. I can throw hard when I need it but I’m throwing my secondary pitches more now.

I’m more of a complete pitcher.”

He nearly was a completegame pitcher against the Mariners.

Kazmir, who threw 103 pitches, pretended to hide from manager Terry Francona when he came down the dugout in the eighth to tell him his day was over.

“I wanted to go out there for last one,” Kazmir said. “But I understand.”

Kazmir has thrown just one complete game in his 198 career starts. That was a two-hit 3-0 shutout on July 3, 2006 with Tampa Bay against Boston. Vinnie Pestano took over in the ninth.

“For what he’s been through and where he’s at, that (working the ninth) would have been more managing with my heart than my

brain.” Francona said.

“From day one he’s been great.

He’s had a couple rocky starts but he’s been a good pitcher for us,” he added. “We’re proud of him because he’s come a long way. He felt he had a lot to prove and he’s certainly done that. He’s got a lot of baseball left in him.”

Kazmir is now 3-0 with a 1.60 ERA with 35 strikeouts and 12 walks over his past seven starts.

“He had a little bit of everything,” said Smoak, who got the one hit off Kazmir. “His fastball was deceptive. He is throwing a cutter now and I’ve never seen that before. He had a good ball game.”

Bourn blew the game open in the fifth with his slam on a full-count pitch from reliever Hector Noesi.

Asdrubal Cabrera had two hits, including his eighth home run.

Carlos Santana had three hits, including a pair of RBI doubles.

It was the ninth time the Indians have scored at least 10 runs this season and the 14th time Seattle has allowed 10 or more.

The Indians had lost four of their first five games out of the break and had fallen to 3 ½ games behind Detroit in the AL Central.

The loss ended the Mariners’ eight-game win streak, their longest since Aug. 14-22, 2012. They were going for their first nine-game streak since May 27-June 5, 2003.

Joe Saunders (9-9) took the loss. He lasted just 4 2-3 innings, allowing five earned runs on nine hits, walking three and striking out five.

“I felt like I was all around the plate today,” Saunders said.

“Henry (catcher Henry Blanco) did a good job back there. We just flat-out got out-played, out-pitched, out-hit. Just one of those days.”

SEATTLE (AP) — Mariners manager Eric Wedge sustained what the club called a “very mild stroke,” but he was released from the hospital on Wednesday and is expected to make a full recovery.

Wedge, 45, was hospitalized Monday when he complained about light-headedness during batting practice.

He missed the entire three-game series against Cleveland, but after a battery of tests was sent home from the hospital Wednesday afternoon, the Mariners said in a statement.

“We are happy to announce that Eric Wedge has been released from the hospital,” the statement said. “He is home with his family resting and feeling well.

“After much testing the doctors believe he suffered a very mild stroke. The doctors expect that he will have a full and complete recovery.”

Wedge won’t be in uniform for the Mariners’ upcoming four-game series against Minnesota and he won’t go on the next road trip to Boston and Baltimore.

“What he needs to do is stay home for a short period of time.

We expect him to be back sooner than later,” general manager Jack Zduriencik said. “He’s excited.

He sounds normal. I talked to him and it sounds like everything is fine and he is ready to roll.

“We are going to err on the side of caution, and I think the common sense thing is to have Eric rest. It makes sense that he doesn’t take this trip to the East Coast.”

Delany backs changes to NCAA with concerns CHICAGO (AP) — Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany knows change is coming to the NCAA, major developments that will alter the landscape of college sports.

He just wants to make sure it’s done right.

Speaking Wednesday at the league’s media days in a Chicago hotel, Delany echoed the chorus of major conference commissioners calling for a new model when it comes to the governing body of college athletics. But he said it’s important to address the issues at the center of their concerns.

“I’m in favor of whatever restructuring that will lead to what I would consider to be resolving or improving certain areas where I think we’re weak,” he said. “If we restructure the NCAA and don’t address some of the substantive concerns, I wonder why we have restructured.”

With the start of the

college football season on the horizon, it’s clear that conference commissioners across the country are talking seriously about the future of the athletic departments at their schools. The leaders of the Big 12, Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference have offered their critiques of the NCAA over the last week.

It looks as if considerable alterations are a foregone conclusion, and it’s not very far away, either.

“Very optimistic we’ll get it,” Delany said. “And I think we may get it within a year. And I think the conference commissioners that I’ve spoken with throughout the range of Division I are open for that discussion.

“I think it’s necessary and it’s a traditional organization and it needs to innovate as we all do, and I’m pretty optimistic that we do that,” Delany

added. “But I want us also to keep in mind why we’re doing it and I think it’s to make better connections between our athletes, the educational and the athletic experience.”

Delany’s top priorities for a restructured NCAA include a lifetime commitment to education, an examination of the time demands placed on athletes, the eligibility structure for at-risk students and an additional grant for full-scholarship athletes — a hot-button issue for mid-major schools.

All the commissioners from the major conferences have pushed for a stipend for athletes that would add about $2,000 to an athletic scholarship to cover the full cost of attendance, but it could not be passed because smaller schools said they couldn’t afford it.

“It’s the right thing to do,” said Delany, who played college basketball for North Carolina.

U.S. advances to Prep Soccer Gold Cup final

AHS girls get organized

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Landon Donovan scored two goals and set up another, and the United States beat Honduras 3-1 on Wednesday night to advance to the CONCACAF Gold Cup final.

The U.S. struck first when Donovan found Eddie Johnson running through the middle of the Honduran defense. Johnson took a dribble and powered a shot past goalkeeper Donis Escober, giving the U.S. a lead 11 minutes in.

In the 27th minute, Johnson started another scoring sequence with a pass to midfielder Alejandro Bedoya. Donovan received Bedoya’s short chip off his chest in the middle of the

Nery Medina of Honduras made it a one-goal game in the 52nd minute, heading in a cross from Marvin Chavez.

The Americans countered a minute later when Bedoya ran down a long ball from Clarence Goodson and crossed it to Donovan, who scored from a few yards out.

The Americans will play the winner of the PanamaMexico match on Sunday in Chicago. The U.S. has won a team-record 10 straight games.

Donovan has five goals in the tournament, tying him with teammate Chris Wondolowski for most in the Gold Cup.

As the Sprint Cup Series heads into the stretch of the season where Chase berths and championships are to be decided and there are no off-weekends for struggling teams to regroup, Jimmie Johnson and his No. 48 team have established themselves as one of the organizations to be reckoned with before the final checkered flag falls at HomesteadMiami Speedway on Nov. 17.

The five-time champion has four wins already, the most recent running his career count to 64 after just 12 full-time seasons.

He’s been atop the points standings for all but two of 19 races this season, and his lead heading into the Brickyard 400, 56 points over second-place Clint Bowyer, will continue for at least another week, as there are only 48 points to be won in a given race.

Johnson said his experience is a big reason he’s been so dominant of late.

“When you look at the generations before mine in racing, I saw a stat somewhere that the average Cup driver starting point was in the early 30s,” he said. “You look at when (Dale) Earnhardt won his last championship and the bulk of his championships, he was older, and I think the same thing went for (Richard) Petty. That’s all because of experience.

“I feel that I’m much smarter, focused; my talents are refined, I know the race tracks, I know my industry, everything is so much better today than it was in previous years.”

But Matt Kenseth, who also has four wins, has established himself as a title contender in his first year driving the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing.

“I think both of those guys [Kenseth and Johnson] could have won more races than that,” said Jeff Gordon, adding that regularseason trends can be significantly altered once the 10-race Chase starts. “With the Chase ... all of the sudden, everything gets reset, and you might have a small advantage based on your [bonus points for regular-season victories], but basically ... you’re all on a clean slate now and you have to put the best 10 races that you’ve put together all season long right then and there to win the championship.”

Still, he thinks Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, is in the driver’s seat, so to speak.

“Right now, I think it’s the 48’s to lose,” he said. “They’ve been so strong and because they’ve won five championships, you don’t expect them to lose that momentum when the Chase starts. Because it is the Chase, anything is possible and can happen.”

This weekend’s Samuel Deeds 400 at the Brickyard marks the 20th running of a race many thought would never happen.

For years, the only race run at Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the world-renowned Indianapolis 500. NASCAR was considered by many Indy fans to be a lesser form of racing, not worthy of competing on the hallowed oval that had been the focus of motorsports since the turn of the 20th century.

Stewart, who started from the pole in his first Indy 500 in “To pull off a win there, along with Daytona — don’t get 1996 and had a best finish of fifth the next year, makes no me wrong, all of them were big wins — but that was defisecret of his love for the Speedway or his desire to win there. nitely a great place to win a race.

“I have nearly a 70 percent win rate on my first visit to a race track,” he said.

“New challenges really motivate me.”

For Bloomquist, participation in a major NASCAR race goes against the image he’s created over the years. He’s popular with his fans for many reasons, but largely because he marches to his own drummer. He wears his hair long, and his dirt cars carry skull-and-crossbones logos. He’d rather race where he can use his creativity in car construction and likes to compete whenever and wherever he wants, not always following a set schedule or a particular sanctioning body, although he has won multiple national titles in his career.

“It would be hard for me to be a driver in NASCAR,” he said. “I like my freedom.”

But the truck race at Eldora is different, he said.

“It’s a big thing,” he said. “It means a lot to my fans, and it means a lot to me, too.

“I really get up for new things, and I’m excited about this race.

“We’ve tested the truck, and I’ve got confidence in my ability to make changes to the truck to adapt to the conditions at the track.

Sprint Cup drivers look back at Brickyard 400 wins, history at historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway

In most of the interviews heading into Wednesday night’s Camping World Truck Series race on the dirt at Eldora Speedway, there’s been little focus on the “ringers,” those dirt-racing specialists who have secured rides for the first major NASCAR race on dirt in 43 years.

Scott Bloomquist, a 49-year-old dirt Late Model racer from Mooresburg, Tenn., who many consider one of the most talented drivers in any form of motorsports, will be driving a truck fielded by Kyle Busch Motorsports. He says he doesn’t mind flying under the radar for now.

“I hope I am being overlooked,” he said.

“But I think they’ll be surprised.”

Throughout his career, Bloomquist has found great success when the stakes are high and there are unknowns about the racing, two factors that will come into play this week at Eldora.

He leads all drivers with six wins in the Dream at Eldora, a Late Model race that pays $100,000 to the winner. He’s also a three-time winner of the World 100 at Eldora, the most prestigious event in the dirt Late Model world. He’s also won numerous other big-money events, including a $100,000-to-win race at Batesville, Ark., for Modified cars, a type of vehicle he rarely drives.

Irsay hopes Colts’ balance leads to more titles INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jim Irsay has only two regrets about the way Peyton Manning left town.

He wanted his star quarterback to throw his final pass as a Colt, and he wanted Manning to depart with more than one Super Bowl ring.

All those memorable postseason stumbles gave Indianapolis’ team owner a chance to revise his philosophy for the next generation of Colts. Instead of relying on the high-charged offense Manning directed, Irsay now believes the team’s future February celebrations will come more frequently if the Colts run a more balanced offense and divide the budget more evenly between the offensive and defensive players.

“My goal going into this new era was to have the opportunity to win more than one,” Irsay told The Associated Press just a few

days before Indianapolis players report to training camp at nearby Anderson University. “I think that the disappointment of not winning more than one with some of the things we did — out of 11 (playoff) chances, seven times out after the first playoff game — that’s really disappointing and we had some great teams.”

Irsay has always wanted more for Colts fans, even now after a decade of unprecedented success.

From 2000 to 2009, Indy set league records for regular-season wins in a decade (115), consecutive 12-win seasons (seven) and most consecutive regular-season wins (23). It took Manning only six seasons to pocket more league MVP awards (four) than any player in league history. Without Manning, Irsay also realizes it’s unlikely the Colts would have hosted or won two AFC title games or gotten a stadium deal

that allowed Indy to host its first Super Bowl, all during a five-year run from 2007-12.

For those reasons, Irsay will always hold Manning and his teammates in reverence.

But throughout Indiana, the complaint was always that the Colts, like the Atlanta Braves of the 1990s, should have won more titles. Irsay agrees.

The 2005 and 2009 teams were both unbeaten in December, yet failed to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. When the Colts started rolling through the 2003 playoffs, without punting in victories over Denver and Kansas City, Manning threw four interceptions in a snowy AFC title game at New England — the first of three straight playoff-eliminating losses to eventual world champs (New England after the 2003 and 2004 seasons, Pittsburgh after 2005).

So when the Colts were forced

into rebuilding mode a year ago, Irsay took a different tack than he did with Manning.

After releasing a bunch of high-priced veterans that included Manning, running back Joseph Addai, safety Melvin Bullitt, linebacker Gary Brackett and tight end Dallas Clark, the Colts somehow thrived with a group of rookies, a few remaining veterans, a handful of predominantly bargain-priced free agents and a group of castoffs from other teams and other leagues.

Irsay refers to last season as “one of the most incredible in the history of the league.”

With millions to spend under the new $123 million salary cap, Irsay wasted no time in showing how committed he was to the new approach. He went on a spending spree that he said put the Colts millions of real dollars over the cap.

Purdue coach Darrell Hazell speaks during the Big Ten football media day meetings Wednesday in Chicago.

Gardner set as quarterback for Michigan CHICAGO (AP) — Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner enters the season with his position secure despite calling signals in just five games last year.

Gardner, who spent most of the season at wide receiver, stepped in at quarterback following Denard Robinson’s injury and went 76 of 126 for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns running a pro-style offense.

Speaking Wednesday at Big Ten Media Day at the Hilton Chicago, Michigan safety Thomas Gordon said Gardner has steadily developed into a leader since his first start at quarterback last year.

“He’s grown right into it,” Gordon said.

“He’s a lot more comfortable, you can see that. … He’s taken it by the horns and he’s spearheading this team and we look forward to how he (will) do when we go out there Aug. 31.”

Among offseason work was a trip to the recent Manning Passing Camp while also working at home with returning and incoming players.

Borland best in the country?

Chris Borland is flattered that Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen calls the Badgers’ linebacker the best in the county.

Now it’s time to prove it.

“It means a lot because obviously he’s got confidence in me and he comes from a defensive background,” said Borland, who earned first-team All-Big Ten honors last season. “It’s great to hear that. That said, those are just words so I’ve got to play well this fall and prove him right.”

Borland, who started all 13 games last year, enters his senior season with 308 career tackles, 41½ for losses and 13 forced fumbles, the most in school history.

He needs just to tie the FBS record of 14, shared by five players.

Borland said he appreciates why the NCAA adopted new rules on targeting players and hits above the shoulders. “(But) it’s concerning for me as a defensive player,” he said. “You don’t want to get ejected. A lot of times things happen fast on the field. If you don’t anticipate a running back going low and then he does, it could be helmet to helmet.

It could be things like that.

Purdue raising expectations New Purdue coach Darrell Hazell, a longtime Ohio State assistant, won’t settle for middle of the pack as he returns to the Big Ten after short but successful run at Kent State.

“One of the first things I said to our team our very first team meeting was that Purdue was perceived in the middle of the Big Ten — never up here, never down here,” he said.

“I told them it’s going to take a lot of work but we’re going to climb ourselves out of the middle, we’re going to put this program (into) national prominence for a long time.”

Purdue went 6-7 overall while Hazell was 11-3 overall, 8-0 in the Mid-American Conference East in his second and final Kent State season. He also guided the Golden Flashes to the program’s first bowl game in 40 years.

“I think it all starts with your self image, how you see yourselves,” said Hazell, who spent seven years as an Ohio State assistant.

“If you don’t see yourself as a champion, no one else is going to see you as a champion.

Badgers hardly broken Gary Andersen takes over a Wisconsin program that’s anything but broken.

“I’m not interested in comparing what was different — whether that may have been what we deem as great, good or indifferent,” he said. “There’s going to differences when you take over a program and it’s important to put your own stamp on it.”

Andersen led Utah State to school-record 11 victories in 2012 and had an early introduction to the Badgers with a two-point loss last year.

“So I’ve never asked the question of how things were,” he said. “There’s a lot of different ways to it and there was a lot of success. For us, it’s get our core values into place, let our kids understand the trust factor and let them understand the true set of core values we’re going to hold them to.”

Fishing dawn and dusk during the summer months This is the time of year when venturing outdoors can be a trial by fire. Step outside your air-conditioned house and instantly you are assaulted by oppressive heat. It is inescapable.

Fish also feel the heat.

I suspect they dislike excessive heat any better than we do. At this time of year they generally avoid warm shallow water during the day, retreating to the cooler depths.

It is why JAMES H. at this time of year PHILLIPS a skilled angler’s fishing strategy can be summed up in two words: dawn and dusk.

Knowledgeable fishermen confine their efforts to the brief moments around sunrise or sunset, knowing at these times the fish will be most active and more likely to stroke.

There is one exception to this rule, which I shall get to in a minute.

The wisdom of a dawn and dusk strategy came to me in memorable fashion one year when I dropped off my 10-year-old son at a friend’s house. It was late summer and rather late in the evening. I had considered going largemouth bass fishing, but after dropping him off and driving 45 minutes to a small lake, I would only have a half hour or so to fish before dark. With the drive back, I would spend 90 minutes on the road for a half-hour of fishing. It didn’t seem promising.

“But it’s the best half-hour of the day to fish,” my son emphasized.

His comment proved persuasive. I drove to the lake and fished for about 30 minutes. I only caught one fish, but it was my biggest

•

bass of the year, ample reward for the effort.

I can recall Big Hunting Creek, a small trout stream near Camp David, the presidential retreat, which came into play at dusk.

When only 30 minutes of dimming, gray light remained, I would tie on a streamer — a simply pattern consisting of a silver body and black marabou wing. I would wade rapidly downstream, quickly casting to every likely lie — and a few that were unlikely. If my fly became snagged, I would quickly break it off and tie on another one. My object was to cover as much water as possible in the 20-30 minutes before dark.

I always caught and released three or four big rainbows using this approach, fish that had refused to bite in daylight.

It lacked the subtlety of most trout fishing, but it was highly effective. And when darkness enveloped the stream bottom, I would walk over to the road and hike back to my car.

It was a wonderful way to end my fishing day.

This is one of the great advantages of fishing as the sun sets. The fishing always gets better the darker it gets. You leave the water on a high note. In fishing at dawn, the bite peters out as the sun rises – and you quit on a low note.

If I had to go fishing this evening, it would be on the St. Joseph River near Bristol. At this time of year smallmouth bass will on most evenings rise to the surface to take floating bugs.

I generally fish something that is white, even a small popper.

One key to this fishing involves the birds. If the air over the river is filled with swallows, it means an insect hatch is in progress – and smallmouth will be looking to the river’s surface for a meal. If there are no swallows, try a streamer or crayfish pattern over a

gravel bottom.

The exception to the dawn-dusk rule involves a summer squall. The rain will bring out trout that had been lying dormant. One day I caught trout after trout in the rain and then I came upon what I called “The Lair,” the most startlingly awesome trout hideout I have ever seen. It was located at a right-angle bend or elbow in the river. A heavy rootball protected the front of the undercut bank.

I had tried and tried, but had never managed to entice anything out from this hideout. I suspect the same could be said of other angler. But during this rainy afternoon I approached quietly on hands and knees and dropped a small nymph under an indicator in the water. It bobbed around the elbow and then made a slight dip. Instantly, I raised my rod and struck.

A huge football-shaped rainbow boiled out from under the root ball. It streaked downstream so fast it made the ratchet-and-pawl on my Hardy reel sing its aria like a. operatic tenor. It was glorious.

I chased after it, holding my rod high, The stream then turned hard right.

The fish started its turn, staying in the main current.

I tried as best I could to hold the fish, knowing that if it completed the turn it would escape. Alas, the fish was too strong for my tippet. It broke off and escaped.

It remains one of the greatest trout I have ever hooked. Why is it that often we remember fish that got away longer than fish we bring to net?

Whatever the case, the story of fishing in high summer revolves around dawn and dusk — or during a heavy rainshower.

Briefs • House warns Kerry he could be 1/16,000th poorer WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican lawmakers are threatening to withhold salary representing less than one-sixteen thousandth of multimillionaire Secretary of State John Kerry’s net worth.

The House Appropriations Committee’s measure demands Kerry’s agency implement recommendations of a U.S. investigator for Afghan reconstruction.

If the State Department doesn’t report progress, he loses a quarter of his salary for three months next year.

The conditions also apply to the U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan.

For Kerry, whose assets totaled at least $184 million according to a 2011 Senate disclosure, it hardly matters.

His wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, is reportedly worth more than $1 billion.

And the family made more money when billionaire Warren Buffett bought out ketchup maker H.J. Heinz Co. earlier this year.

Still, some Democrats opposed the amendment to next year’s foreign operations bill.

Weiner presses ahead with mayoral bid Calls grow for candidate to drop out amid scandal over raunchy messages NEW YORK (AP) — Anthony Weiner pressed ahead with his bid for mayor Wednesday despite growing calls for him to drop out over a new sexting scandal, saying the campaign is too important to abandon over “embarrassing personal things” becoming public.

Rivals, newspaper editorial pages and at least one former New York congressional colleague urged the Democrat to

quit the race a day after he acknowledged exchanging raunchy messages and photos online even after the same sort of behavior destroyed his congressional career two years ago.

“I think Weiner he should pull out of the race. I think he needs serious psychiatric help,”

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. Weiner brushed off such calls as he prepared to testify at a public housing hearing and participate in a candidate forum in the evening.

“I have posited this whole campaign on a bet, and that is that, at the end of the day, citizens are more interested in the challenge they face in their lives than in anything that I have done, embarrassing, in my past,” he told an encampment of reporters as he left his Manhattan home in the morning.

“This is not about me” but about voters, he said,

and headed for his campaign office.

The latest scandal erupted Tuesday after the gossip website The Dirty posted X-rated messages and a crotch shot it said he exchanged with a woman last year while using the online alias “Carlos Danger.”

At a news conference Tuesday evening, Weiner, who has been a favorite in the polls since he launched his political comeback attempt in late May, stood side-by-side with his clearly uncomfortable wife, Huma Abedin, and said he hoped the voters would give him another chance.

Abedin, a longtime adviser to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, reaffirmed her love and support for her husband and said the matter was “between us.”

Two of the city’s major newspapers, The New York Times and the Daily News, said the 48-year-old Democrat had exhausted his opportunities for forgiveness with his latest indiscretions.

“The serially evasive Mr. Weiner should take his marital troubles and personal compulsions out of the public eye” and the mayoral race, the Times wrote.

Readers unhappy with reply about brothers DEAR ABBY: I have read you for years, and I must take issue with your answer to “Needs the Right Words” (March 17). He asked about his son and his son’s half brother visiting his beach house. (He didn’t want the half brother included.)

While you addressed the writer’s needs, and yes, he is entitled to his feelings, I think you should have taken this a step further.

Once you become a father, it is not all about “you” anymore. The 12-year-old boy is now, and forever will be, his son’s half-brother.

Unless this man wants to distance himself from his son and cause permanent damage to their relationship, he needs to get some therapy so he will be able to think of that boy in a different way and can deal with him in the future.

He is NOT in a “good place” as he stated if seeing this boy causes such an emotional issue. The two boys seem to

out to me: DEAR ABBY: I almost always agree with your answers, but your answer to that letter was off the mark.

It’s admirable that his son has such a close relationship with his half-brother, and not allowing the boys to do something they enjoy together for a weekend is wrong. That the writer admits he still has problems with the past is his problem, not the kids’.

Since he admits it brings up feelings he THOUGHT he had put behind him, he should get professional help to finally deal with those unresolved issues. Also, if he doesn’t want the 12-yearold in his house for one weekend of fun, then he should take his wife away for a romantic weekend and let the boys use the beach house in his absence. It’s all about compromise, not the ultimatum. — BEEN THERE, DONE THAT IN KANSAS

Still, most people who sit on a plane for many hours, never walking and always with their knees bent, will not develop DVT. The fact that you developed a DVT and a PE indicates that you may have been born with a tendency for your blood to clot more easily than is the case for most people. Having one DVT or PE means you are at high risk for another. If you were my patient, I would perform tests for various inherited conditions that cause blood to clot easily.

I would also consider whether you should take an anticoagulant medication, such as warfarin, to help protect against blood clots indefinitely.

Now back to airline travel: Prolonged sitting and dehydration — common on long flights — create ideal conditions for blood clots to form. Everyone embarking on a long flight should do these things to minimize the

DEAR DOCTOR K: Last year I developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — blood clots in my legs — during a long international flight. One of the clots got loose and went to my lungs. I’m fine now and am off all medications. Is it safe for me to fly again?

DEAR READER: Yes, you can fly again if you take some precautions. Before I describe them, though, a little background information is in order: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms inside deep veins in your legs or pelvis. Part of the clot can break away and move through your bloodstream to your lungs. If the clot blocks one or more of the blood vessels in your lungs, it is called a pulmonary embolism (PE).

If the clot is big enough, it can damage the lungs. It can even cause sudden death.

We are all at some risk for developing DVT if we do

have a good relationship, and a future with his son will — and should — include the half-brother, even if the visits are short ones.

Someday that boy will be a grown man, and he will recognize the kindness DEAR shown to The ABBY him. boy is not responsible for his Jeanne Phillips mother’s behavior and the father needs to realize that. — DEBORAH IN CHANDLER, ARIZ. DEAR DEBORAH: You are right. It would have been better for all concerned if I had been harder on the father and more sensitive to the feelings of the boys involved, which many readers pointed

chances of developing a DVT or PE: • Stay hydrated. Drink enough water during the flight to make you get up and use the restroom several times.

• Avoid alcohol, which can dry you out.

• Move your muscles. Stand up and stretch your arms and legs at least once an hour. Walk up and down the aisle, or walk in place. While standing or sitting, do simple exercises such as straightening your knee and stretching your leg and pointing your toes up and down.

• Consider compression stockings. Elastic support stockings keep blood flowing by gently squeezing the legs and moving blood back to the heart.

Consider using these when you travel in a seated position for many hours.

Fears over Zimmerman verdict riots prove overblown

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The predictions were dire: Black people would burn and loot America’s cities if George Zimmerman was found not guilty. White people everywhere would be attacked in revenge for the killing of Trayvon Martin.

Judging from water-cooler conversations, social media and viral emails, many people took these warnings seriously — yet they proved to be largely

wrong.

Community leaders and scholars say the overwhelmingly peaceful response to the Zimmerman verdict reflects increased opportunities for African-Americans, the powerful image of a black president voicing frustration with the verdict, and the modern ability to create change through activism and social media rather than a brick.

“There was the assump-

tion that black people, Latino people, inner-city people are inherently violent, and that’s the farthest thing from the truth,” says Kevin Powell, whose BK Nation advocacy group helped organize peaceful marches involving thousands of people in New York City.

“They need to stop racially stereotyping people,” Powell says. “It’s the same thing George

Zimmerman was engaging in. To automatically assume an explosion from the Zimmerman verdict — I don’t think they understand black people.”

The talk of violence originated long before the verdict with some conservative commentators, who said riots should be blamed on liberals who distorted facts to make Zimmerman look guilty. “Media’s dishonest motives in Trayvon Martin

case could end in riots,” read one headline on Glenn Beck’s website.

Speculation intensified when news broke that Florida police were preparing for possible unrest. Pundits highlighted dozens of tweets from average citizens threatening violence if Zimmerman was acquitted. Reminders circulated about a handful of “this is for Trayvon” assaults by black people

Fax 260-347-7282

when the case first gained national notice.

“I fully expect organized race rioting to begin in every major city to dwarf the Rodney King and the Martin Luther King riots,” wrote former police officer Paul Huebl. “If you live in a large city be prepared to evacuate or put up a fight to win. You will need firearms, fire suppression equipment along with lots of food and water.”
